Good questions and I don't mix
 
Me neither...
 
@Zacharee1 hue
 
hue
@KazWolfe if you Google factory reset ubuntu you'll get a ton of Q&As
 
yeah, but not about OEM from the device itself.
They all say basically "reinstall it" -- i don't want to.
 
specify that
@KazWolfe I'm just going to clarify that a bit more
 
11:10 PM
 
@NathanOsman wat
How do you pronounce Hu%E1%BA%BF?
 
ty @Zacharee1
 
Any problems with my advice here?
I recommend you to create a new admin user, log your old user out, open a terminal as the new user and run sudo deluser OLD_USERNAME to delete the account from the system config. After that, all files are still there. Then you can run sudo find /home/OLD_USERNAME -type f -exec shred -vzfun1 {} \; to shred all files in your old user's home directory so that they can't be restored (overwriting once with random data, once with zeroes, then removing the file). After that, you can sudo rm -rf /home/OLD_USERNAME to remove the empty directory structure. Make sure you have no typos though! — Byte Commander 1 min ago
Ah, added quotes around "{}". Anything else?
 
This thing looks almost exactly like the V20 xda-developers.com/…
I still don't understand the downvote on my AMD Q&A
 
11:15 PM
@Zacharee1 Seems like Tim Post lost his keys once again...
 
lel
maybe it was just someone who had recently reached 125 rep and wanted to try downvoting
 
and is now at 124 rep :D
 
from a question? no
 
oh, yeah, that's right. ignore the dumb wolf.
he hasn't had his 4th cup of coffee.
 
I see three >:)
 
11:19 PM
@Zacharee1 wasn't me
 
@edwinksl found the DVer!
 
tsk
 
I also see a dumb flower though
who has yet another headache
 
poppin aspirin like they candies.
 
@edwinksl do I want to read? scholar.google.com/…
@KazWolfe aspirin can cause heart issues if you use it regularly and then stop. They don't recommend it at all, and recommend against it if you're under 18. I usually take Caffeine+Acetominophen or Ibuprofen, but now I'm trying Naproxen Sodium
@edwinksl found your Facebook huehuehue
nothing there since 2014 though o_O
 
11:22 PM
@Zacharee1 looks like heavy Chemistry stuff - you should show that @Fabby
 
darn
how does one Facebook
> PHP is a hose, you usually plug one end into a car exhaust, and the other you stick in through a window and then you sit in the car and turn the engine on.
xD
 
^^ Lisp is a shiv wich comes in many forms. Anyone who uses this is probably crazy and dangerous
Quote from my profile page ---> Well what to say about me? I love to code (html, php, css, java-script, java, c, c++, visual-basic, fortran, lisp, perl, sh + bash, python (learning))
xD
 
pls
> Prolog is an AI weapon, you tell it what to do, which it does but then it also builds some terminators to go back in time and kill your mom.
 
well good night folks
 
11:37 PM
@Videonauth @ThomasWard seems to love Mathematica then...
 
mathematica is cool.
 
@NathanOsman I have a solution for your current wifi situation...
 
But it's complicated as hell and i'm 99% sure Stephen Wolfram was completely insane when he wrote it (if he isn't still insane).

agreed :p
 
@TheXed o_O
 
11:39 PM
Oh wait...the first time I opened it it was 99.00
 
o_O
 
well that sale didn't last long lol
 
@TheXed It's not my situation!
Also.
Why did this get a downvote?
 
@NathanOsman just trying to help a guy out, so he can play portal 2 with his friends :-P

Q: Running 'chmod 777 *' on home directory

Amila ErangaI accidentally ran chmod 777 * (without the -R parameter) on my home directory. Will It be a problem? Then how to solve it?

need one more unclose on the question
 
11:42 PM
@NathanOsman Well I was thinking maybe it isn't on-topic, but the Help Center doesn't really have much specific info in that regard...
 
@NathanOsman hey do you think that my new build might be a bit over kill for SteamOS?
 
No.
Nothing is overkill for SteamOS.
 
death might be
 
Aaaaaaaand George is back.
 
noooo
 
11:45 PM
He's not here but he's in the Sandbox.
 
who
 
> Function arguments in the Wolfram Language use square brackets [...] rather than parentheses (...). The Wolfram Language reserves parentheses for grouping, which avoids ambiguity.
 

Sandbox

Where you can play with chat features (except flagging) and ch...
 
oh that george
@KazWolfe why
 
because to hell with traditional syntax and using [...] for groups!
 
11:45 PM
guess so
 
> The Wolfram Language has vastly wider built-in functionality than Java.
 
lol
 
Well, yeah. This is a language that comes with a built-in goat detector.
 
bet it's even harder to understand though
 
Oh wait, no. java.util.cv.goat.GoatDetector#checkIfGoat()
 
11:47 PM
wut
@Downgoat
 
Don't tell anyone but... I think I need another sock.
 
Wolfram Language: Where 2+2 translates into Plus[2, 2]
And null doesn't exist! Everything just refers to itself.
 
@Zacharee1 can you please stop this
 
When creating Wolfram Language: "Hmm, how can we take Java and make it even more annoying?"
@edwinksl sure
 
it is getting close to doxing
don't force my hand
if i want to share my research or facebook, i will do it myself and i certainly don't need your help
 
11:51 PM
> Like Java arrays, Wolfram Language lists are indicated by curly braces {...}. Indexing in the Wolfram Language uses [[...]] rather than [...], and indices start at 1 instead of 0.
> Java does not have delayed assignments. Achieving similar functionality would require a separate method call for each update.
Why would a language HAVE delayed assignments?!
 
cuz
 
@NathanOsman, I was talking with Thomas, thought it was worth to ask you too about it. I answered an question on U&L, that was moved to SO, about parsing POST arguments to shellscripts. I then realized after answering that the raw example I gave was completely vulnerable to command injection, so I added a disclaimer stating so. I was wondering if there's some language that support calling shell commands with parametrized strings similarly to SQL
 
> Pure functions work similarly to lambda expressions in Java, but the syntax is simpler and more consistent in the Wolfram Language.
Nothing's consistent in Wolfram Language.
 
@NathanOsman that's the answer
 
That's a good question.
I'm not sure there is.
What package provides traceroute?
 
11:56 PM
> Wolfram Language functions allow an arbitrary number and type of options to be included as arguments in any order. Recreating this functionality in Java requires method overloading, optional classes or other additional programming logic.
okay fine, this is a nice feature.
 
@NathanOsman I guess traceroute is also the name of the package
 
But it doesn't have the binary in it.
$ which traceroute
/usr/sbin/traceroute
No packages provide that file, it seems...
$ stat /usr/sbin/traceroute
File: '/usr/sbin/traceroute' -> '/etc/alternatives/traceroute.sbin'
Interesting...
$ stat /etc/alternatives/traceroute.sbin
File: '/etc/alternatives/traceroute.sbin' -> '/usr/bin/traceroute.db'
 
weird, I don't think I've traceroute installed, thought it came with the fresh ubuntu install
 
Here we go:
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/traceroute.db
traceroute: /usr/bin/traceroute.db
@IanC so you were right all along :D
