> "There is no public API for this yet."
I mean, who wants to know the PID of a process? That's such an uncommon thing to do...
 
comic sans alert
 
@NathanOsman hahaa
 
or is it sans comic? @Seth
 
mind == blown
 
12:09 AM
@TheWanderer comic sans is definitely sans comic IMO
 
I wonder what os.pid returns in Jython? @NathanOsman
 
Jython?
what sort of unholy abomination is that?
 
python interpreter running inside of a java instance
 
but y tho
 
12:10 AM
Because you can.
 
@RobotHumans It's not that Java can't retrieve the PID. It just doesn't provide a public method for it.
 
still?
 
And Jython just uses the JVM, IIRC. So limitations of the Java language itself won't apply.
 
that Q&A is from 2011
 
12:12 AM
@TheWanderer Also, it lets you write python plugins for burp.
 
but y
 
Because people disagree on languages. I like python. Burp is written in Java. It lets people disagree and still work together
 
Next up, a Java compiler that compiles to CPython bytecode.
(^--- do not do this)
 
what about a proper bytecode decompiler?
no more Smali
 
That would be nice.
Currently I'm poking around in nodejs-land
 
12:41 AM
I'm trying to get Java to talk to Go via an HTTP API over a named pipe.
>:)
 
uhhh
Did Chrome disable Flash?
 
Not afaik
 
ah
site just wasn't asking for it
weird...
 
@NathanOsman I'm looking at getting python talking to nodejs over async queues a little just for funsies.
Also playing with using later.js to fake an event loop by firing each event in the eventloop at a set interval instead of in sequence
 
this song just mentioned "90s retro"
I don't know if I'd call the 90s "retro"
 
1:01 AM
@NathanOsman you know what's fun?
 
Nope.
 
setting your animation duration scale to 10
 
No.
Iz not fun.
 
yes
animator not transition
 
How is that fun?
 
1:02 AM
oh btw my app lets you set any custom value from 0.0 to 10.0 for animator, transition and window duration scales
@NathanOsman how is it not?
 
Maybe I don't understand what that is then.
 
if you tap a navbar key or clear an app from Recents, it'll slide out really slowly
 
That's fun why?
 
it's so funny
I set mine to 30 before I put the limiter in the app
like slow-mo
 
I imagine that would be a fun prank app, but I don't see using it
 
1:07 AM
well I'm using to give myself an animation speed of 0.36
because I want something less than 0.5, but I still want the animation
 
When I'm using my phone, I prefer not to waste time watching rectangles move slowly around the screen.
 
well you're officially a boring adult
 
hi
 
I prefer there actually not being transitions at all.
 
I am a rectangle...
 
1:17 AM
not a square?
tsk tsk tsk
CONFORM
im so tired...
ayudanme por favor
oh, AU moved to HTTPS?
 
I am not a square...if anything I might be a rhombus...
 
> Installs targeted by rollout
1,200
woot
no more "you should target a minimum of 1000"
@TheXed alright, Thoreau
 
@TheWanderer yes we need to abolish the mistreatment of rhombuses...
 
In other news, I wore this shirt to work today
 
Hugo?
 
1:28 AM
@RobotHumans eww webp
 
@RobotHumans looks like a bunch of random text to me...
 
@JourneymanGeek Yes, webp.
 
2:02 AM
@JourneymanGeek ಠ_ಠ
 
@NathanOsman dosen't seem to load on FF
 
I'll have you know I wrote a WebP plugin for the Gimp.
:P
 
What is webP?
 
2:27 AM
WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. ... WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index. Lossless WebP supports transparency (also known as alpha channel) at a cost of just 22% additional bytes.Mar 4, 2016
 
2:47 AM
They recently added animation support.
So now we have something decent to replace animated GIFs with.
 
Something less byte-consuming than gif's would be nice.
 
3:10 AM
However, the best new image format is FLIF: flif.info
It offers superior compression to just about everything.
 
Sometimes you just want to punch people on the internet..
@Seth Router advertisements will allow endhosts to get an IP address from a router which has already acquired a prefix for the LAN. But that router must first have acquired that prefix from somewhere. It could either be statically configured on the router, or it could have acquired the prefix from an upstream DHCPv6 server through prefix delegation. — kasperd 19 hours ago
If you had read the question, you would have know I already had it set up that way.

Q: Installing Mujoco from AI gym onto Windows 10(For research)

Mohammed RashidI've been trying to download and play with the Open gym software that past two days. Specifically the Mujoco which I'm planning to use for research.

Q: How to repeat a command when there's a specific string in a file?

Weylyn SavanI want to repeat a command while there's a specific string in it's output, which indicates that there was an error. The command is gksu ./installer.run > ./inst.log 2>&1 What i want do is to repeat it while there's 'string' in ./inst.log. How can i do this in BASH?

 
9:39 AM
@Zanna: Could you please take a loot at askubuntu.com/questions/909190/…? Thanks.
 
@DavidFoerster Can't you change the dupe target? I don't remember the details of this new feature and who can use it.
 
I think its gold badges
 
why was that question tagged with ?
 
I agree with David about dupe target
 
9:47 AM
@Anwar Why not?
 
@terdon It's mainly a software installation question. There was no requirement that it should be done in command line
 
@DavidFoerster @Anwar I made it a dupe of both, will that do?
@Anwar Hmm yes, fair point. Retagged.
 
@terdon I think so. Thanks.
 
@terdon good enough. Though i think David's suggestion was better. Since xenial repo doesn't have ruby 1.9 anyway.
 
Yeah, I kept both because I thought someone might find that question but not necessarily want to install ruby.
I figured we may as well have both.
 
9:55 AM
Hmm. good thinking.
Got an silver badge :) I don't think I'll get a gold on apt
 
sudo apt install gold
 
:O
 
1000 score is needed o_O I only have 400 :(
 
@JacobVlijm N: Unable to locate package gold
 
9:59 AM
try rainbow
 
singular or plural?
 
tries rainbow?
 
rainbow or rainbows?
 
You are greedy, isn't one enough?
 
rainbow: Description: Bitfrost isolation shell
rainbows: Description: HTTP server for sleepy Rack applications
 
10:02 AM
Haha, never thought it would deliver anything
 
I'm hungry :P
 
Yeah, me too. The see is too broad, else I would buy you lunch
 
@JacobVlijm No, silly, sudo gold install apt
 
sudo apt install fish and salt-common
is a valid command ^
 
@terdon haha
gold: error: cannot open install: No such file or directory
gold: error: cannot open apt: No such file or directory
@Anwar sudo apt install goldfish and bowl
 
10:05 AM
What about sudo apt install catch fish?
 
Whaaaaaat?
 
Yes. That's valid too
Also try sudo apt install zoo and tiger
 
Haha, this is crazy!
 
It is indeed! Linux people are crazy at naming things
 
Sea of course, not see (I thought I was no dyslect, but who knows)
 
10:09 AM
@DavidFoerster I see terdon already fixed it...
 
Your car?
 
lol
 
Ok, I'll stop before I get banned :)
 
@Anwar I doubt I even noticed the tag. I think someone flagged it as dupe
 
@Zanna Oh. No problem! Fixed now :)
sigh! qt 5.8 needs over 800 MB download

O.o
 
needed 5.7 to test a dock for kde in 16.04. I didn't find any ppa other than the official download page here
 
10:40 AM
Is question about 12.04 on-topic still?
 
10:58 AM
 
Oh. Thanks. Here is the one asked askubuntu.com/questions/909863
 
@Anwar The release is the least of the problems there. I hate it when people just say "it doesn't work".
Why not? What happens? Does your laptop explode? Does it make your fridge break down?

@terdon "unclear what you're asking"? ;p
 
@terdon ha ha. Same here :) We should have sort of checking for "doesn't work" phrase in question imo
I think it would be nice if the question is made a duplicate instead. I voted as such and majority voted as unclear. here
 
11:18 AM
I'm afraid we can't help you unless you actually explain what is happening. Telling us only that something "doesn't work" is useless information. How does it fail? What errors to you get? Is the device not recognized? Is it recognized but not writeable? Does it cause your computer to burst into flames? Please edit your question and give us more information. — terdon ♦ 4 mins ago
 
:D
 
Although, I admit I will be very intrigued if it causes the computer to burst into flames.
That'd be kinda cool.
Well, cool if it isn't happening to you, anyway.
Schadenfire.
 
I hope so. Recently read about some kind of usb stick that can actually burn your motherboard!

Uhm. How exactly is a device whose job is to destroy your hardware "safe"? o_O
 
safe for you. Not for your computer :P
 
@JourneymanGeek Man, what kind of person do you have to be to add that stupid watermark that only makes your text hard to read?
 
@terdon that's from the 90s...
so that's how they designed webpages back in those days ;p
 
11:38 AM
So? I mean, yes, OK, I do remember things like that but it bugged me then as well :)
 
Hello :)
 
hmm. I'll need to build qt 5.7 in home then. huh!
hi box!
 
@JourneymanGeek nice on the v.35 killer

but internet came oddly here
 
Even worse then.
Huh. I think I first got online in ~95 or so and we had images already.
 
We went from a local teletext over dialup to a short period of lynx to graphical internet
 
When was this?
 
I don't remember ;p
Was pretty young, but I was on my 486, around the time pentiums came out
Singapore Teleview was a Singaporean videotext service. In the mid 1980s, the Telecom Authority of Singapore entered into a joint venture development with GEC Marconi in the UK to develop a photo-videotext public service. Selected engineers were sent to the UK to work within the Marconi development team stationed at Fleet, Hampshire, England. Singapore was the first country in the world to launch an interactive information service to the public which included photographic images. The service started trials during late 1987 using specifically designed terminals. Controlled trials had been conducted...

@TheWanderer Android x86.
 
blegh
 
They don't work as well though and often have quirks.
@TheWanderer the Android SDK includes emulators for versions as far back as Jellybean though.
You just have to dig for them.
 
why don't I see them?
 
When I'm in front of my computer later today, I'll check where the option is to show them.
 
alright
 
4:57 PM
You need to click the "x86 Images" tab.
It goes back even further than I thought all the way to Gingerbread.

Thanks, Staples.
"inkjet" is totally the same thing as "lightscribe"...

One of my Russian Dwarf Hamsters, Tototo, died today... :(
 
user136984
But he was about 2 years old and that is the maximum lifespan for these guys.
 
user136984
I think he might have even lived a few months over that.
 
Sad. Have a minute of silence for your Methuselah hamster then.
 
user136984
Poor sweety, he's been shaking for the past week or 2.
 
user136984
9:28 PM
He most likely had the last stages of his Diabetes.
 
user136984
But I think that he went as peacefully as he could have done in that state.

He shall always be remember.
