@kos yay, I didn't have to say anything :D

I made it as a vector, exported to png

@Seth -.-. They put a "Usually boots for me." in the middle of a pattern of statements which yelled "Hey, I'm not an answer". My bad.

Well, here's another one: askubuntu.com/questions/677419/…

Mateo

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne You have a website :P

Mateo

there it is, took awhile...

Zacharee1

@kos Do you have a script to find these or do you really like the review queue? :p

kos

@Mateo Margarita?

Mateo

1:51 AM

nope

something a lot stronger

kos

@Zacharee1 Trade secrets. :P

sigh

@Mateo Like?

Absinthe (/ˈæbsɪnθ/ or /ˈæbsænθ/; French: [apsɛ̃t]) is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45–74% ABV / 90–148 U.S. proof) beverage. It is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium ("grand wormwood"), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Absinthe traditionally has a natural green colour but may also be colourless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the green fairy). Although it is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a liqueur, absinthe...

Zacharee1

Woohoo

kos

1:53 AM

@Zacharee1 Those I cathed by coincidence, but checking this page you usually find a ton: askubuntu.com/tools/new-answers-old-questions. But you need at least 10K to see it.

Zacharee1

a whopping transfer speed of 2KB/s

@kos isn't that just like the Late Answers queue?

kos

@Mateo Oh, you brewed it?

Mateo

ordered

Zacharee1

@Mateo what country are you in?

kos

^^, I think the 70% variant is illegal here.

Don't remember.

Mateo

1:55 AM

> In 2007, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) effectively lifted the long-standing absinthe ban, and it has since approved many brands for sale in the US market.

Zacharee1

oh

kos

@Zacharee1 No it's just a page that shows all the answers to questions older than 30 days... So it's easy to find new users posting "I have this too" answers to old questions.

Mateo

and depending on state, you can get the 80% one

Zacharee1

@kos ah

kos

What did I just say? It's legal here, or more than one centerbe would be illegal, which are not.

Zacharee1

377 first posts?

Someone hasn't been reviewing who usually does

hbdgaf

@Mateo In the US, all absinthe that doesn't actually contain thujone has been legal for quite some time.

Mateo

well, the stuff that does is now too

hbdgaf

that's sort of neat

kos

2:15 AM

@Zacharee1 That's probably a big part of the reason why the queue is now at ~1000/1100. Probably quite a bit of new users.

Mateo

they just have a limit on the amount

hbdgaf

Many UK vendors were selling absinthe sans thujone and a separate bottle with the wormwood extract with thujone as a pair. So, fighting semantics was sort of hilarious.

Mateo

funny

hbdgaf

I wouldn't know anything about that though. I just read a lot.

kos

@SmokeDetector Spam: askubuntu.com/q/743681/380067

Mateo

2:18 AM

oh, speaking of alcohol, I'm doing a new scope

hbdgaf

i.don't.even. what's the scope.

Mateo

wine/sprit search ;)

kos

@Mateo Cool!

Mateo

the api even has accounts and favorites, should be awesome

hbdgaf

hopefully it supports scotch and vodka as well as absinthe... and it's not just an absinthe vendor search api

Mateo

2:22 AM

i just typed absinthe to segue the conversation :)

kos

NaA -> askubuntu.com/a/743683/380067

hbdgaf

always wanted to try japanese whiskey, but not THAT bad:

Mateo

the 3rd one is a little bit closer than the others...

hbdgaf

I could swing the third one as a "group social event" thing. The first one just made me poop a little.

By that, I mean - the structure I live in cost me a third of that...

Mateo

I think it was more than my car

more than college

or at least close to that

hbdgaf

2:30 AM

yeah. more than college. i was flat rate 3k/semester 3 semesters. So, approx 9k

Mateo

so a lot of features in this one, hard to pick a place to start

but at least I have the basic search down

hbdgaf

what does your user see first? when i get stuck choosing a feature, that's how i choose.

Mateo

I'm thinking of "top" and also showing their own favorite list

so probally work out the top/new catagories

then work on the different types/colors

for deapartments

Seth

So I'm taking this course in UWP dev and the instructor is Hungarian. He talks with a thick Hungarian accent, but his English is very good. He keeps cracking jokes!

hbdgaf

@Mateo fwiw, i'm still on fisticuffs. trudging along using a stacked widget and doing a screen or so per week. still trying to make myself use signals and slots like i'm supposed to instead of running through connecting things gtk style.

Mateo

2:34 AM

old habits die hard

hbdgaf

yeah. the one i finished does it gtk style. didn't realize it until i read it later.

Mateo

so, no contest or anything, so i'm taking it slow - doing it as a learning project

wonder when the scope showdown results will be in

user139252

@Zacharee1 Can't upload SVG to OpenCart :P

hbdgaf

@Brown - nice one on the diamond fingertips thing.

Seth

@Mateo did you submit this time around?

Mateo

2:37 AM

uappexplorer.com/app/commandfu.mateo-salta

:)

user139252

@hbdgaf Thank you :P

Mateo

yep, it is in the contest

should be interesting, it made it to top scopes and is now over 600 users :)

hbdgaf

I don't see it losing unless they give it away b/c you already have some level of notoriety... but in a good way.

Mateo

well, there was the scope that had on-line learning courses, it looked really nice - should be a really good contest

hbdgaf

I wonder what the learning scope is using as a source for courses though. I'm starting to feel much disappoint about udemy. The idea was sound, but they're pimping get rich quick stuff on FB as ads now.

Seth

2:42 AM

@Mateo cool!

@hbdgaf yeah, udemy disappointed me too. A lot of their courses are the "get rich fast" kind too. Terrible audio, not well planned.. :/

hbdgaf

@Seth it doesn't bother me that they host it. it bothers me that it is what is in their ads. i'ld respect it more if some of the more respectable courses were in the ads, but they humored the grq folks with hosting.

Seth

The best courses I've found so far are from Pluralsight, but it's expensive.

hbdgaf

I think I found a few decent ones on R and pandas that were mirrored on github.

Everything I've seen in an ad is deplorable though. Just bad.

Mateo

ah, here it was: plus.google.com/+RomanShchekin/posts/WzpVutSUsZd

user139252

It had a chicken head with duck feet, and a woman's face, too....

Mateo

2:49 AM

so, he put multiple sources in

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne just put the file somewhere in your site folder

hbdgaf

@Mateo coursera and edx should help it along.

Seth

@Mateo oh neat!

I'll definitely want to get that when it comes out.

Mateo

he had a really nice logo going too

Seth

@TheBrownOne We all have a chicken duck women thing waiting for us!

now that song is stuck in my head :P

hbdgaf

2:52 AM

That brings up an interesting thought. With the zeitgeist db, scopes might eventually be able to say "You know, you've been looking about this a lot. Here's something related". Like a user context scope prompt.

Mateo

wonder what the ubuntu app store's algorithm for top is, sine he had a more popular for the month back in feb

hbdgaf

you probably had more views, but less unique views. just my guess.

Mateo

ah, add in the downloads for each version

I had them spaced out nice, and added a lot each time

hbdgaf

could be. i wouldn't fault them for making a less popular thing more popular though, to say "try it" and pull that out of the metric later.

Mateo

it does say something, that people are updating it, instead of trying and uninstalling

hbdgaf

2:56 AM

i suppose that's fair. one line bumps could game that system though.

anyone seen Chuck/LP? haven't seen him around in forever.

Mateo

hm, I follow his twitter, haven't see much

hbdgaf

when i ping him on g+, he answers. i think he's just busy.

Mateo

also if you like random move and art stuff follow guillermo del toro

he tweets constantly

Seth

@hbdgaf well he's got 5k karma on LP so he must be active..

Mateo

does twitter even show everything people retweet anymore?

hbdgaf

3:03 AM

@Seth karma on lp is game-able. if you source pull and autobuild on a github landing spot for a really active project, it's free karma. that's not what he's doing, but it's not a=b.

Mateo

I feel I'm missing stuff...

Seth

@hbdgaf sure

@Mateo I'm not sure..

I get that feeling too though, that I'm missing stuff.

Mateo

maybe i'm just busy too ;P

Seth

@hbdgaf this is more accurate though: launchpad.net/~zulcss/+karma

hbdgaf

@Seth true. are we talking about the same chuck?

@Zacharee1 hhahahahaa

Mateo

"automated precision farming" o_0

Zacharee1

@Mateo Why only 3.6 stars? :p

Mateo

someone used the dev version on the nexus 5...

it didn't work, as does a lot of things on dev...

and someone liked the web app better, mistook it for a "real" app, and said "use the real thing"

Zacharee1

3:11 AM

I knew about the first one, but the second one: CFH

Mateo

I put the web app up with it accepting it's own domain so when you hit open it opens the website in the web app

if you want, it's a nice combo webapp + scope

Zacharee1

Cool

clientsfromhell.net/post/100235769317/…

Mateo

plus there is a bug that dosn't let you rate things in the store...

Zacharee1

I still wish I had UT so I could try it out :/

Mateo

have to reinstall to rate, really strange...

Zacharee1

3:14 AM

Weird

Mateo

keep saving :) and also the nexus 4's aren't going for too much on e-bay :)

hbdgaf

@Mateo - thanks for the swappa heads up btw. Thinking about a Nexus5 from there now.

Mateo

nexus 5 is nice too, multi-boot and all

hbdgaf

Screen broke on my Nexus7 and it's cheaper to buy a new phone - which I need - than it is to buy another screen.

Mateo

the mic went out on mine though...

user139252

3:15 AM

Swappa is better :p

user139252

@hbdgaf I'm at the same place with my 6P

so I'm using the mx4 ubuntu edition as a daily :)

well, i'm out. later

hbdgaf

later on

user139252

I broke my 6P screen (for the second time), and can't afford the repair, so I bought a $40 phone from T-Mobile.

user139252

It works for now, but I'm starting to really hate it.

@Serg: some feed-back on your script:

originally I used /usr/local/bin instead of /opt/ to store it and it worked.

yesterday I copy-pasted the new version and shut down.

this morning my machine refused to boot into graphics mode as I don't have a /opt (which is optional)

Luckily I remembered to deactivate the script and then the system booted again.

Time for Version 1.2? (using /usr/local/bin)
