Where do C# executables running on an Ubuntu Linux 16.04 Lenovo Thinkstation desktop which use source code that DLLImport's shared objects (so's) look for shared objects at runtime?

So, my work is finally moving over to Google Classroom for the upcoming school year. I'm really enjoying it.

what's Google classroom?

user139252

It's like an online class system... Run by Google :P

7:47 PM

that sounds scary. and cool.

and scary.

user139252

For teachers, it's super easy. It works just like Google Drive.

user139252

You press the "+" icon, add an assignment.

user139252

You can accept submissions through it, assign due dates, and even link Google Forms questionnaires.

+1 from me on the "scary" list...

user139252

In the dashboard, you can see quickly see how many students have or have not finished the assignments. Once you click on an assignment, you can choose to either return it or accept it for grading.

user139252

7:50 PM

It's free, though, unlike systems like Sakai or Blackboard.

And who would attend those classes?

user139252

Only students that have been given codes to access the classes.

user139252

You have to have a "Google Apps for Education" account, and the student accounts need to be created by your administration.

Aha. ANyway, got to go. Good night.

user139252

Here's more info, for those interested

@TheXed Nobody, they were just interested in what it was.

@TheBrownOne oh, I see.

user139252

I got my old job back, and they're finally switching over to Google Classroom :D

Congrats on getting your job back.

@TheBrownOne :D

user139252

Why are all of Libreoffice's templates so ugly? :/

user139252

8:22 PM

Trying to make a flier for students to join STEM club again when I get back, but I can't find anything good to work off of.

@TheBrownOne Open Source program that gets no money

8:35 PM

\^0^/ the chat works in China !!!

@Serg your in china?

@Serg whoa

YESH

Beijing to be precise

Have any food yet?

@Serg eat lots of food for me :D

8:37 PM

Yeah, we ate , then came back to the hotel and I passed out, so missed the time to call my mom

IT's like 4 AM here

4:37 to be exact

o-O

well, have fun!

@Seth will do ,yessir

China is a very interesting place.

@Serg it is just a matter of time before the Great Firewall of China finds out about you

8:38 PM

lol

First impression is that the houses look like in Ukraine, only it's all more massive

you know why there are no cats in china ?

@TheXed oh, i am sure they already know

user139252

There's no SE site for Google Sheets, is there?

@Serg okay before they shut you down then.

8:40 PM

@Videonauth havent figured out that yet :p

@TheBrownOne no.

@Serg better get a VPN or five

@Videonauth that's... not true. Rare maybe, but not none :P

imagine, the whole day long Mao Mao Mao

@Videonauth HAHAHAHAHA

oh man.

8:40 PM

Oh, that's funny XD

missing something

@Serg how long are you in the Communist Republic of China anyways?

Mao Zedong (/ˈmaʊ zəˈdʊŋ, dzə-/), also transliterated as Mao Tse-tung and commonly referred to as Chairman Mao (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976), was a Chinese communist revolutionary and founding father of the People's Republic of China, which he governed as Chairman of the Communist Party of China from its establishment in 1949, until his death in 1976. His Marxist–Leninist theories, military strategies, and political policies are collectively known as Maoism or Marxism–Leninism–Maoism. Born the son of a wealthy farmer in Shaoshan, Hunan, Mao adopted a Chinese nationalist and anti-imperialist...

Oh

Mao also stands for cat , only different intonation

8:41 PM

@Serg oh that too.

heh

I forgot about that part.

@TheXed I leave on 7th

user139252

I'm having troubles. I've got a drop down that updates a range of cells with information from other sheets. However, if you try making changes to that data, the cell holding the formula for updating throws a reference error

so I'll be in the US back by 8th

8:42 PM

xD

Where to next, North Korea?

@Serg are you on spring break?

@TheXed yes

Ah the man responsible for China's glorious "Great Leap Forward" which propelled them from an agrarian society into a fully industrialized first world nation.

@Seth well , summer break effectively . But I'm going to China for the language and culture summer camp .

8:42 PM

@AaronHall well, that's one way of looking at it.

@Serg sweet!

I just read something funny, from this course's syllabus

after the camp is over i'll be going to shanghai , and hopefully yangzhou , see my friends

Wish me luck. I'm wiping my secondary ROM

who has AOL anymore?

8:43 PM

me

:p

<.< @Zacharee1 You like antiques i see

My Spanish book, copyright 2016, mentions modems (and not cable modems)

@Serg I got a laptop for Windows 95 working once

@onebree all my relatives -.-

actually it's getting better but there are at least 2 of them that still use AOL.

Sweet, I'd love to play around with Win98 again. I used to have a PC with that when I came to the US but it was given to Goodwill

oh boy.. this 6-week course requires 10-12 hours of my time per week.

8:46 PM

they don't even want it...

@TheXed The full trip is supposed to be like so : Couple days in Beijing , then on to Jinan until June 1st, then I will attempt to go to Yangzhou and then Shanghai, and leave on June 7th . No, thanks nope, no North Korea. China is way cooler :p ( not literally though, it's gonna be 88 tomorrow )

8:48 PM

Sounds like a good course then

I've already gotten data validation and a general formula down. You choose a class from the drop-down, and it populates the cells below it with that class roster, pulled from another sheet. However, you can't edit any of that data from there

@onebree write about the music , the flow of which poetically corresponds to the flow of thought and code . . .

yes , that's a bit of BS, but the point of writing isn't always to make it real

Anonymous

8:57 PM

@Serg I don't listen to music, because I find that it distracts me. I don't hear anything really -- I tune it all out into white noise when I work

make it poetic - that'll give you a good grade

Anonymous

Strong details and description of characters -- I don't know, because I work remotely through chat. No video or phone.

@onebree does your professor know that ? more importantly does your professor care about it ? Like i said, make it poetic, make it pretty, and no one really cares if it's true or not

Rebooting now that I've flashed GApps

See, what I dont understand is why everyone in the academic community is so hung up on the dreaded 12 point Times New Roman , double spaced standard ???

Hopefully my boot will be faster

@Serg You should meet my English teacher

Anonymous

@Serg It is ugly and wasteful. I prefer 1.5 spacing

9:09 PM

@Zacharee1 is she Asian and single ? If so, I might consider that

Times New Roman, 12pt, 1.5 or double spaced, 1-inch margins, no paragraph spacing, no headers, it goes on

@Mateo At least with modern word processors, it will correct that automatiically

Luckly in Engineering nobody cares about fonts. I can use Courier for any lab report

@Mateo ewwwwwwwww

@Serg should use Scriptina

9:12 PM

I see nothing about fonts so far for this class... So I am using monospace all the way

@onebree the assignment's difficult for you so make it difficult for the professor: use a script font

:p

@Zacharee1 If that's the case, I'll just hand write everything and fax over everything

No, you need to type it, print it, scan it to PDF, convert to image and then email it

And use OCR to convert it back to Word

You can convert images to text?

Optical character recognition

Optical character recognition (optical character reader) (OCR) is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene-photo (for example the text on signs and billboards in a landscape photo) or from subtitle text superimposed on an image (for example from a television broadcast).
