2:00 AM

@Serg agreed

@Seth well then

Seth

So Nexus 5X, Galaxy S5 or OnePlus 2?

Serg

I am biased towards the last one

Seth

Why's that?

Serg

Because that's the phone i have :p

Seth

It actually gets pretty bad reviews, which has me kinda worried.

@Serg Oh! Had any problems with it?

Serg

2:03 AM

@Seth not really . . . lately it has been slightly laggy , but that's because i am not the best owner ever and stuffed it with over 1500 of pictures and video recordings. Camera is alright, though there's a bit of a trick with flash - if you enable HDR mode or whatever , flash wont work.

Otherwise, it's pretty good, and good prettiness

James

@Serg that HDR thing is standard.

Seth

@Serg flash shouldn't work in HDR mode

James

because of how HDR works.

Seth

Good to know though.

Serg

really ? oh . . . well , that's the first phone with HDR that i had , so . . . blah

Seth

2:04 AM

I'm kinda leaning towards the OP2 because it will let me do up to 30 second exposures.

Zacharee1

S5 has expandable storage though

Don't get the Nexus

Seth

yeah, but S5 has lousy camera with no manual controls.

Nexus has the best camera of the 3, minus the 30 second exposure ability.

Serg

im gonna post a few screenshots, if no one is against it

Seth

go for it

Zacharee1

then get a good camera app

That's why we unlock it and put CyanogenMod on it

Seth

2:06 AM

@Zacharee1 You don't understand, the best camera app for Android said they can't provide manual controls on the S5 because of the way Samsung sets it up.

Zacharee1

but I've said that before

@Seth I don't really like the Nexus camera

@Seth wow

Serg

By the way , Zach and edwinksl have seen the recordng i made on my OnePlus 2

I guess it's fairly decent , according to them

Seth

@Zacharee1 Well that makes 0 sense heh

12.3MP 1/2.3" and 1.55µm is pretty good.

Serg

Seth

Plus RAW support.

Zacharee1

2:07 AM

Well go for the OP2 then

@Serg of the dog right

Serg

apps menu from middle button

Zacharee1

@Seth It doesn't do a good job when you zoom at all

RPi Awesomeness

@James Uh, no?

Serg

There's fingerprint scanner, which i don't use

Seth

also, wat. I just payed $15 for a 5200 mAh battery, only to realize OnePlus sells a 10,000 mAh one for $19 -.-

Serg

2:08 AM

Seth

@Zacharee1 like I said, no phone really does.

RPi Awesomeness

@Seth gg

Serg

main screen

Seth

16MP is obviously better than 12 for that, but not by much.

And it's not worth giving up all the manual controls and RAW support.

RPi Awesomeness

I might be getting a OnePlus One

Serg

2:09 AM

there's also a side menu of frequently used apps and contacts, which i never use

Zacharee1

@Seth it's not even that. It's just that it gets really pixellated even at low zoom.

RPi Awesomeness

@James BTW, I installed that Vim thing, but now when I'm in command mode it does this:

Serg

Aaand that's the last one

RPi Awesomeness

Seth

@RPiAwesomeness friend has one. Good phone.

RPi Awesomeness

2:10 AM

Yeah. I'm really hoping to get it. Gotta convince parents it's okay :P

$150 from a coworker

Zacharee1

@Seth the 5X is $500. (which doesn't seem right_

Seth

@Zacharee1 no it's not lol

especially used ;)

Zacharee1

which doesn't seem right

omfg

Seth

32GB is 399.

16 is 349.

Zacharee1

what is with this connection!>!>!

Seth

2:12 AM

:/

Nathan Osman

@Seth Yes, that was one thing I really liked about the OP3 - the last time I went camping, I took some 30s exposure shots.

Seth

ooh, cool!

Nathan Osman

They didn't exactly turn out the way I'd hoped though...

I pointed it at the sky (near some trees) hoping to get some stars but it turned out to be cloudy.

Serg

If you remove the leaves, it kind of looks like mass of gas you see in space

Zacharee1

lol

Nathan Osman

2:16 AM

Here's another shot I took a few minutes earlier so that you get an idea of how dark it actually was at the time:

Zacharee1

URGGGGH

Nathan Osman

Zacharee1

I'm about to go on the crappy Bell H+ connection, because even that's better than this

Nathan Osman

You can't roam with LTE?

Serg

Does anyone know how many public github repos a free user can have ?

Nathan Osman

2:16 AM

@Serg Unlimited public repos.

I have well over 100 myself.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman only overlapping LTE band is 4, which is only for XLTE and such, which isn't anywhere

Nathan Osman

That's a shame.

Zacharee1

I was getting some Telus or Bell LTE in Toronto, but we're not in Toronto anymore :p

Serg

help.github.com/articles/what-is-my-disk-quota

Zacharee1

what's really annoying is that VZW counts you being on its network as roaming as long as you're in CA

Serg

2:18 AM

So, as long as one doesn't go over 1 GB

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 I ought to visit Toronto some time. Does it rain 24/7 there still?

Zacharee1

There was a lot of rain iirc

Serg

Mkay, two repos initialized . . . . cracks fingers expect more shiz to go down

James

@RPiAwesomeness Weird. You might have an old vim version. I had to update mine to get it to work properly.

RPi Awesomeness

@James Just needed to restart actually

James

2:24 AM

@RPiAwesomeness gotcha.

RPi Awesomeness

Though, do you know how to add tabs?

James

@RPiAwesomeness check out ~/.vimrc

~line 242

Zacharee1

James

shiftwidth and expandtab

Zacharee1

think there's enough saturation?

James

2:27 AM

that's the great thing about it @RPiAwesomeness - most of it's just normal vim stuff, but it brings in some nice plugins and sane defaults.

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Is that the CN Tower?

James

If you're feeling adventurous, I'm going to start using spacemacs.org next week.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman probably

Serg

2 hours till i can award the bounty . . . .welp, youtube here i come

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

3:24 AM

@James that's what I'm looking forward to.

Nathan Osman

4:03 AM

Argh. That annoying feeling when GCC won't compile something so you switch to Clang for a helpful error message and it compiles.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

The hustle and fussle these programming days...

The annoying feeling when in Windows 10 the start menu doesn't work

I have to restart explorer.exe UGH

Nathan Osman

You should have been here the other day when Windows 10 went bonkers on my laptop.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Oh, what was wrong?

Nathan Osman

I couldn't bring up the control panel at first and explorer kept crashing.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

RAM overload?

Nathan Osman

4:10 AM

I couldn't even boot safe mode - just kept getting BSOD.

Finally decided to wipe everything and install Windows 7.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Did you remember the error code?

Nathan Osman

Haven't had a problem since.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Yeah, Windows 7 is more cooler

Not bad for a OS that was based on Vista...

ah, here it is

yesterday, by Nathan Osman

The last Windows 10 update messed things up so badly I couldn't even boot into safe mode without a BSOD.

I was sleeping then

Nathan Osman

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD "WDF_VIOLATION"

Whatever that means.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Ok I will dxdiag the problem XD

The WDF_VIOLATION bug check has a value of 0x0000010D. This indicates that Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) detected that Windows found an error in a framework-based driver.

So a faulty, incompatable or old not updated driver was the root cause.

Did it come up with a bug check code ? @NathanOsman

Nathan Osman

4:16 AM

Nope.

Hang on, I took a picture...

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Okay :D

I hope you did not overclock your computer.

Nathan Osman

It is currently underclocked.

That's all it displayed.

edwinksl

thanks windows for the really useful error message

Serg

how typical

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

@edwinksl Oh, for me "a bug check goes a long way."

@NathanOsman eat this answer

1. Try connecting to different video outputs on the PC. Sometimes a change in driver can cause the video to be sent:
To a different Adapter: from integrated graphics to a discrete card or vice versa.
To a different output: from HDMI to DVI, DisplayPort to VGA, or any other combination.
2. Try to boot into Safe Mode with Networking or Enable low-resolution video.
Advanced boot options, Safe Mode with Networking, or Low Resolution Video.

@Serg are you here ?

Serg

@gansub Yes, what's up ?

gansub

6:53 AM

i have a working system now

i have to install netcdf for python

when i type python3.5 setup.py build_ext it says numpy not found

should i install my own numpy using gcc

or point to an existing numpy ?

i have decided not to use Intel compiler moving forward because that could mess up my Ubuntu again

Serg

@gansub numpy can be installed via repositories

gansub

how do i check if it is there in my repository or not ?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Intel: ubantu

Serg

apt-cache search python3-numpy

To install , sudo apt-get install python3-numpy

gansub

@Serg it is there

Serg

6:58 AM

I am 100% certain it is in the repositories, because it is in mine

@gansub ok,so use sudo apt-get install python3-numpy

:)

gansub

python3-numpy - Fast array facility to the Python 3 language
python3-numpy-dbg - Fast array facility to the Python 3 language (debug extension)
python3-numpydoc - Sphinx extension to support docstrings in Numpy format -- Python3

@Serg do you use scipy as well ?

Serg

If you want the dbg and doc package, you can install those too , if you add --install-suggests option

@gansub no i don't use that

Q: ubuntu server - run on wan loca ubuntu server

I am totally new with ubuntu. I have installed latest version of ubuntu server (16.04 lts). My server is running on 192.168.0.50 on LAN from my workstation. But now i want to access this server from my house. Is it possible ?

server lan

Serg

@gansub How about this: run the command export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages" , then try re-running install

@Phoenix so where is your server ? you say you want to access if from home, so it's not at home ?

@gansub sorry, had to edit out space

Phoenix

@serg i have installed server @ workstation and i want to access it at home. on my workstation server is running on LAN but i want to access it from my home

Serg

@Phoenix so your server is at work ?

Phoenix

yes

Serg

Probably not possible. Your work must allow port forwarding. That means , their router must allow connection to a computer on their local network.

Phoenix

8:07 AM

i am doing stage there.. i take old pc

and installed ubuntu server

Serg

stage what ?

Phoenix

ok

school stage

for experiance

CodeX

you can use ..team viewer ..or chrome's remote desktop app .. but this might not be the most secure way of connecting

Serg

Oh. Sorry, we cannot do anything about it. You would have to talk to your system administrator at work.

Phoenix

@serg ok thanks.. I think they have port forwarding option in their router

Serg

8:09 AM

@CodeX don't they need port forwarding as well ?

CodeX

no .. they dont

Phoenix

@codeX i didnot install gui on server

CodeX

@Serg

oh

Serg

GUI on server computer is bad idea , it's not done for security reasons

CodeX

I mean for those software's one doesn't have to configure port forwarding .. app talks to server ..server talks to client ..as far as I understand

Phoenix

8:11 AM

@serg exectly why i didn't install

CodeX

what is the purpose of server @Phoenix

Phoenix

to distribute information

collection of information ?

edwinksl

@Serg so OP basically wants to be you askubuntu.com/questions/812844/…

CodeX

kind of spy server ? xD
