the upvote troll is back

Kaz Wolfe

huh

Zacharee1

look at the questions list

every single one is upvoted, even the OT and unclear ones

Kaz Wolfe

@mods

Windows 3.1

@KazWolfe does @mods actually ping all mods?

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 yeah not sure what's up

Zacharee1

00:07

@edwinksl it happens every now and then

IanC

be right back folks!

Zacharee1

I think we might need to actually start dealing with people who do this though

edwinksl

someone wants that badge

Zacharee1

since votes are anonymous, I don't think mods can see. Maybe we need to get SHOG (DUN DUN DUN)

Kaz Wolfe

NO

I LIKE MY REP

edwinksl

00:09

kaz back to 5k peasant

Kaz Wolfe

no

Zacharee1

lel

Kaz Wolfe

if i drop to 5, you can drop down to 2

Ahmed Al-attar

cool a chat room

edwinksl

2 is fine by me

Zacharee1

00:11

@KazWolfe if you can drop to 5 and I can drop to 2, you can drop to .5

@edwinksl lolz, you're going back to 1 :p

as in, one rep

edwinksl

woah

that would be harsh

Kaz Wolfe

eh most of my votes are organic

edwinksl

i might quit this site and write a 10k-word rant

Kaz Wolfe

on what? Meta?

Lol you don't have the rep to do that at that point

Zacharee1

xD

@KazWolfe He'd do it on Main like a n00b14n

Or on Twitter (that would be an interesting challenge)

I bet Shog will take all out combined rep and give it to Seth

edwinksl

00:14

that is definitely not fishy

Zacharee1

no, it's reppy

Kaz Wolfe

shog can't reasonably take organic rep away from me.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe unless you're using that as loosely as companies use it

edwinksl

iunno what his script does

Windows 3.1

Fedora is installing!

Ahmed Al-attar

00:15

what is organic rep ?

Kaz Wolfe

organic rep is the "natural" reputation that comes from regular site usage

Ahmed Al-attar

ok.. and what is non-organic one ?

Zacharee1

@AhmedAl-attar free range, pesticide and hormone free, hypoallergenic, tofu-based reputation

Kaz Wolfe

if i say "hey, i need upgoats on X", then any votes I get from people here isn't considered "organic"

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 lel

Ahmed Al-attar

00:16

lol

Zacharee1

@AhmedAl-attar rep that is caged in small cells and force fed corn grown under artificial lighting with chemicals sprayed on regularly

Kaz Wolfe

meaning, the'y not completely natural.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe Well it's been said by mods and Meta that if you're like 10-40 rep away from a major goal, then it's OK for people to deliberately vote

Ahmed Al-attar

gloten free rep then it is. :P

Kaz Wolfe

yeah, it's still non-organic

Zacharee1

00:17

@AhmedAl-attar and vegan

Kaz Wolfe

it's valid, but it's not organic

Ahmed Al-attar

love mushrooms btw.

Zacharee1

@AhmedAl-attar "I can't believe it's not reputation! ™"

@AhmedAl-attar mmmm

Ahmed Al-attar

lol

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 so basically whole foods vs non whole foods?

Zacharee1

00:18

@edwinksl Whole Foods is expensive. Trader Joe's FTW

(/me almost wrote Trader Hoes)

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 AGREED

Ahmed Al-attar

Zacharee1 you should watch south park then

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 i hear people just call it teejays

which for some reason sounds hilarious to me

Kaz Wolfe

my local whole foods has really good hot woks.

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 that second word could replace whole in whole foods... jk

Zacharee1

00:20

@KazWolfe for just $400/oz

Kaz Wolfe

no... like maybe $8?

Zacharee1

o_O

Kaz Wolfe

bit pricey but pretty damn good

Windows 3.1

alright let's see how fedora works :)

Zacharee1

an ounce?!

Kaz Wolfe

00:21

a pound and a half

@Windows3.1 We will no longer help with Fedora questions. Please redirect to Unix & Linux

And yes, we will know.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe beep boop

@KazWolfe hmm, alright

Windows 3.1

@KazWolfe I still have ubuntu mate

on my desktop

Kaz Wolfe

@Windows3.1 and we'll help with that.

Zacharee1

@Windows3.1 do you "still have Ubuntu, mate" or "still have Ubuntu MATE"?

Windows 3.1

Ubuntu MATE, official Ubuntu derivative

edwinksl

00:22

commaing is difficult

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 Bleep bloop. I am a bot and I find "beep boop" offensive. We don't do that.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe blop blip. I am a bot too and use that very often

Windows 3.1

lol

Ahmed Al-attar

i need a glass of wine. seriously

Kaz Wolfe

do i need to get wolfbot in here

Zacharee1

00:23

where's a square font when you need one?

Kaz Wolfe

actually, i do need to try to find a way to get wolfbot to deal with separate chats

edwinksl

@KazWolfe will it get banned by diamonds

Zacharee1

@AhmedAl-attar Doesn't Kuwait have an alcohol ban?

Ahmed Al-attar

exactly

Zacharee1

Come to the US or Canada

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 huh? clearly the country of choice is mother russia

Zacharee1

edwinksl

ean, not ian

Ahmed Al-attar

but that doesnt stop me, driving while drinking :P

drinking<-> driving

Zacharee1

00:26

@AhmedAl-attar nooooooo

Windows 3.1

shuddup

Kaz Wolfe

@edwinksl maybe

Zacharee1

@Windows3.1 wut

@KazWolfe let's hope so >:D

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 probably not, as it doesn't generate anything insane unless a command was passed.

So, mods will likely just blacklist any offenders

Ahmed Al-attar

Zacharee1 i stoped doing that after an accident on the highway. it was a horror movie.

edwinksl

00:28

@AhmedAl-attar why would you even think it was a good idea to begin with

Zacharee1

^

Kaz Wolfe

MAWP

Ahmed Al-attar

edwinks , was returning home..

edwinksl

sorry, that doesn't compute

i have zero sympathy for people who drink and drive

Ahmed Al-attar

It seems to me that Python doesn't get much love from U&L folks

edwinksl

@Serg what do they like then

Serg

It's been like 20 mins since i posted, and no upvotes, while awk and bash got a few

edwinksl

silly people writing scripts that wouldn't work in windows/macos

Serg

Meh. Not everything and not always can be figured out via sed or awk, sometimes you need heavier guns

edwinksl

00:51

surely they wouldn't mind perl?

Zacharee1

@edwinksl Don't call me Shirley

Just had 3 guys pass by muttering something about "putting time domain function into frequency domain" Boy, i wish they knew that they're gonna be dealing with that sh!t for the rest of their lives if it's anything remotely related to engineering

Ahmed Al-attar

image processing ?

Serg

I don't deal with image processing, so i don't know

Ahmed Al-attar

sorry , just didnt understand what was you were saying..

just catched the TD and FD

Serg

01:11

Well, I'm an electrical engineering major student, so i was just commenting on something three people said when they were passing by. Just because it's related and sounded ironical

edwinksl

uh, that is fourier transform, so familiar to EEs like you

Ahmed Al-attar

ouh ok

you just remind for a free lancer , i payed for making a led glob, and for got to send him my address before 3 years lol

IanC

first answer on code review

A: Musical Note Length Calculator in C

I think it's easier to review the code if you post it complete (no worries about the size, the code block will take care of long codes by making them scrollable!). I'm not an expert (and expect some feedback if anything said here is wrong!), but some tips I think would make your code better: In...

Serg

Nice

IanC

maybe I went too far on the last paragraph?

lol

Serg

Meh, it will probably blow over OPs head if they know nothing of assembly , but it's alright

IanC

just deleted and created a new VM, will start the whole kernel compilation from scratch

Serg

02:11

@IanC I would personally approach that question with a case statement, and one function. So instead of shiz ton of functions, it would be one

pass the musical note to function, case statement determines which one it is and does math, and returns

IanC

sure, guess it would be a cleaner approach

how is that python book reading going btw @Serg?

I got stuck in the protocols book, the latter chapters don't look as interesting as the ones I read so far though

I was thinking about reviewing everything I read so far before carrying on

Serg

@IanC It's not going too good - no progress in reading it at all :) I hope I can read up some more on the weekend

Windows 3.1

@sebframpton hey

no rep, he can't talk :|

IanC

@Serg I read about Ruby a few days ago, but I think I can only consider I learned it when I learn some useful modules

Kaz Wolfe

02:27

next challenge: get enough money to build a new home rack

Nathan Osman

Current status: trapped in a corn maze:

Kaz Wolfe

right hand rule.

Serg

Yeah, it's understandable. I consider that I've learned a language when I can write code for arbitrary problems @IanC It's same as with bash and python. I can answer quite a few questions with just those two now

IanC

what is this rule? get your right hand up, jump and scream? @KazWolfe

Kaz Wolfe

no.

IanC

02:29

nice picture btw @NathanOsman

Windows 3.1

@NathanOsman wow :D

Kaz Wolfe

given any maze, put your right hand on a wall, and you will eventually find your way out.

Serg

@NathanOsman that's gonna be my halloween wallpaper

IanC

@Serg I need to review bash, I need to get to the man pages too often when writing scripts

Windows 3.1

lol

@Serg if he knew that he wouldnt have posted

:o

IanC

02:31

@KazWolfe I had forgotten about that rule!

Serg

@IanC man pages are good though ! It means you're doing research. I use pydoc all the time for python. Man pages too. Writing code also means doing a lot of research

Kaz Wolfe

now it only works in a perfect maze.

in theory, it could fail if your right hand is currently on a loop. So if you end up in the same place, switch to the wall opposite to the one you're using.

Serg

If it's a corn maze, you can use "FTS" rule

The "FSCK THIS SH%7" rule is very simple: you just break through corn until you get out

Windows 3.1

or (int i=0; i < 1000; i++)
{
ui->label1->setText("Fedora is my OS");
}

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg I use the corollary "burn everything to the ground" rule.

Serg

02:33

a bull cutter with rubberized handle might help there

Windows 3.1

gah

namsOnahtaN@ how big is the maze?

Kaz Wolfe

still didn't ping him

Windows 3.1

gah

Kaz Wolfe

that did

@Win

Windows 3.1

stackexchange YOU SUCK

Kaz Wolfe

02:35

@Windows3.1 i... doubt that. is SE prematurely sending messages?

Windows 3.1

@a @b @c @d @e @f @g @h @i @j @k @l @m @n @o @p @q @r @s @t @u @v @w @x @y @z

Kaz Wolfe

or are you hitting the enter key early?

if so, how is that SE's fault?

Windows 3.1

I am used to other chat networks that do enter to chose ping select

Kaz Wolfe

still not SE's fault.

There's also probably a userscript to do that, (cc @NathanOsman)

Windows 3.1

SE is wierd tho

IanC

02:37

maaan, the temptation of starting the kernel compilation, except I need to go sleep in a while

Kaz Wolfe

no, it's pretty normal.

IanC

I'll at least leave it configured

Kaz Wolfe

why are you making your own kernel

Windows 3.1

@namsOnahtaN

Serg

@IanC just get sleep. Don't make same mistake I do

Kaz Wolfe

02:37

still didn't ping him.

HDMI uses I2C ?

IanC

@Serg I was into some electronic a while before, guess synthwave is the genre, then lately I was listening to some psychodelic stuff, now I ended up in some really relaxing folk band

Serg

Holly MOlly !

IanC

@IanC have you tried any japanese rock ?

IanC

not yet, a friend from work sent me some japanese jazz though, it was good!
