man, gotta write some double link list algorithms for the book, but I'm a bit tired

@Serg i am still getting interwebz points lol

@IanC Get some rest today, or just do a tiny bit of coding. You've covered lots of ground already. Here is link to the article by the way webupd8.org/2016/08/how-to-prevent-super-key-from-opening.html

@edwinksl i think gamers can appreciate the script ;)

@Serg Nice man! Think you're getting really good with python :)

would you log on utox for a second?

12:45 AM

@Serg here is something for you to write an answer for :P askubuntu.com/questions/814338/…

i am too lazy to write

@IanC sure, will be there in a minute

Q: How to achieve native 1080p resolution with ubuntu 16.04 and Nvidia 980 ti graphics card

I've been trying since some time in February, but I haven't been able to get my 980 ti to recognize my monitor's native 1080p resolution. I can't remember when this started. I first tried fixing it after messing around with a crappy KVM that I ended up returning, but I've had the graphics card si...

I think this applies here most of the time:

^says the main culprit :P

@Zacharee1 that's 4chan, any day of the week

No, 4chan isn't even comparable to this.

At least we can string together coherent English sentences.

Right. The smoker you get the player you drink.

2:30 AM

@chaskes exactly right !

( even though i have no idea what is it all about )

Hmm, apparently I didn't remember it quite right.

Classic rock that's too old even for me to remember when it came out, though it was still played on the radio in my day.

@Zacharee1 around?

2:47 AM

@serg I hadn't seen your super key script before. Very nice and congrats on the webud8 article. That's a resume item.

@chaskes Thank you ^_^ That's exactly what i planned on doing - put link to it into my linkedin profile. As for the script itself, I can give you a link,either to script or to the original askubuntu question , if you wanna see it

It's python

@NathanOsman why? Who wants to know?

Oh, I found the original question from the link in the webupd8 article. @Serg

Ah, ok. Great ^_^

だってばよ！

2:52 AM

@Zacharee1 I need your advice on DSLRs.

datte bayo. (What Naruto says in Japanese for Believe it!)

well idk much about them...

You seem to know a thing or two about photography.

I just have one :p

Well, which one?

2:52 AM

The Canon EOS Rebel T5i

I like it

My roommate from last year is more experienced than I am and he says Nikon cameras are higher quality

just not as pretty

does Photography do recommendations?

My cousin does photography for a living and that corroborates somewhat with what he said.

Therefore you are not trying to trick me :D

@Zacharee1 I don't think so.

@chaskes at some point I'll pick up japanese too . . . Lately , I've started re-learning spanish. I got the duolingo app for my phone because my friend has it, so . . . yeah, peer pressure XD

@NathanOsman the help center looks exactly the same, so you could probably get away with asking something like "Is Canon or Nikon objectively better, and which would be better for <mycurrentsituation>?"

"better" is enough to trigger the low quality warning.

well, that's why you need to specify what you need

do they have a chatroom?

3:00 AM

Yes and the last message was two days ago.

Not exactly "active".

just saw that

so much for asking there

So I can get the T5i body for $679.

I'd still need a lens.

yeah...

Alternatively, I can get the T5 with a lens for less than that.

only $779 for the default lens!

oh wait lol

it's the whole camera bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/…

3:01 AM

Here we go: bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/-/…

That looks like a good buy.

They throw in a telephoto lens.

This needs to be refreshed whenever it goes off screen

Le sigh.

@NathanOsman that's only a T5 though

@Zacharee1 your avatar needs to be refreshed, Mr. Gray Icon Man

I am not a millionaire (yet), so there's that.

3:02 AM

@Serg it works in Chrome

yaay! I got one of the algorithms working, apparently at least :P

the automated test is saying it's working, so.. :)

plug-in.bestbuy.ca/t5/Visit-the-Plug-in-Blog/…

@IanC which one ?

@Serg the bubble sort algorithm, now I need to get the merge sort done and compare it with the authors sourcecode

$900 for the 18-135mm lens!!??!

:(

3:05 AM

but I think I'll do it tomorrow, my sleep has been fractioned on the last 3 days and maybe I should just get some proper sleep now

@Zacharee1 Ouch.

@IanC congrats. Once you figure out those completely , try working on quicksort

I was aiming for the $500 range.

For everything.

well the normal lense is 18-55mm

Yeah, apparently that won't work very well for macro shots.

3:07 AM

nope

@Serg does it work on double linked lists? I'll check it out :)

I have a wide angle lense too, but I always like close-ups

@Zacharee1 would it be suitable for shooting, say, George's videos though?

He's usually a couple feet from the camera.

The normal one?

you're getting a DSLR for video? :p

Yeah, the 18-55mm one.

3:08 AM

@IanC it should.

It's very fast and frequently used sorting algorithm

@NathanOsman idk, I don't really use the video funtion

@Zacharee1 Not necessarily. But I imagine the controls are a bit nicer than my phone's camera.

probably

I think it'd work

Do those lenses provide an optical zoom of sorts?

Or do I need to switch lenses to affect the zoom?

as the range implies, it has zoom :p

3:11 AM

The 75-300mm lens clearly states: "Closest Focusing Distance: 1.5 m". But nothing for the other lens.

and for proximity shots, I think it's more than enough

Lol, for my phone camera, I have had limited success at macro shots with a magnifying lens.

o_O

It can already focus at about 50-60mm.

@Serg have you ever looked into a big program source code? Was just wondering if you had any tips to understand a big project source code. I was thinking about maybe making flow charts, writing down lots of notes

3:15 AM

@IanC I had to do that once when I joined a company that had a fairly large codebase.

The key is to begin with a very high-level introduction to how the project is organized by someone very familiar with it.

@IanC I looked into a few programs, such as the coreutils package ( you know, cat, df, grep, all the other programs) . There's not really any tips i personally can give, but usually I just grep recursively to find where functions are defined and stuff like that

In object oriented languages they use UML , which is like diagram flow-chart for relationship between classes. Maybe you could do that for functions.

Lightroom would be really useful for this

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

YOU SHALL NOT CREATIVE CLOUD

@NathanOsman, that would be the best way I think, but only possible if you know someone involved with the project. At least most opensource codes have some guidelines comments. Nothing compared to have someone to guide you through it though :/

@Serg I've read the idea of doing flow-charts somewhere, and it sounded like a great idea!

Whenever I write a large program / script / website / whatever-it-is, I try to do exactly this. I give a bird's eye view of the package, describing briefly what each part does and how they fit together. The source code contains comments for those who want to know more.

3:21 AM

like, at first glance every big code will be a mystery, then by doing some flow-charts with some notes on how specific parts of the program works, maybe you could get somewhere

The best advice I can give for someone writing software is to make things as modular as possible and stick to loose-coupling.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

yesterday, by Zacharee1

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD gimmeh

@NathanOsman, the examples of source codes I've seem follow those guidelines, they all seem to be really divided, with some independent modules merging together on the final program

loose-coupling is like hiding the internal variables right? making them available only through functions/methods?

Loose-coupling is making each component as independent as possible. It should be possible to completely remove a component without major changes to the application.

I think I get the idea, the result would be a much more organized code, and if some part of it needed to be fixed/updated the fact its all independent would make it much easier

3:30 AM

personally, i just like going function by function. Figure out what one function does, then the other, and so on

Which is why you often will see my main function be somewhat simplistic, kind of read like english , but then each part is broken into functions

at least i hope to believe , that way makes code more readable

guys, I'll get some rest

See you later , Ian

have a good night you all! talk to you tomorrow :)

night!

later @Serg!
