Hello everyone :)

grooveplex

Help appreciated askubuntu.com/q/793538/530811

anonymous2

Say, @grooveplex, what is "browser"? I'm assuming that's not Chromium?

Rinzwind

@anonymous2 that is the native browser of Ubuntu

Android Dev

13:22

@Rinzwind What happened to this user? askubuntu.com/users/58612/izx?tab=profile

He was last seen in 2012.

Videonauth

@AndroidDev maybe he simply lost interes or has other real life things going on preventing him from returning

anonymous2

@Rinzwind Ok, the Ubuntu browser. Just asking to be sure, because I have used some distros where Chromium was simply called "Browser." Come to think of it, though, it usually has the Chromium icon all the same.

Android Dev

@Videonauth But look at how much rep he has!

He's gained all of that since he left.

(Almost)

anonymous2

Yeah, he should at least come back and award a bunch of +500 bounties.

Videonauth

yeah his answers and questions are around for a while, and people reading and upvoting

I have some days to where i gain reputation without answering a single question and I only be here since 99 days

edwinksl

13:32

@Videonauth here is my attempt gist.github.com/edwinksl/77be1e4d6594a0b2071cd3b0d903d2f3

Android Dev

@anonymous2 To whom?

Videonauth

@edwinksl looks not bad, so far but math is really unneeded in that case

char_limit = (char_num // len(charset)) + 1

edwinksl

@Videonauth your char_limit = (char_num // len(charset))+1 bugs out when if char_num is a multiple of char_limit

Videonauth

nope

it runs on my side really

anonymous2

@AndroidDev Well, me, of course, since I suggested it. ;)

edwinksl

13:36

say charset is 'ab' and char_num = 8

you really just need char_limit = 4

not 5

Videonauth

well it defaults to 1

anonymous2

And since I need it more than the rest of you... (Don't think about that too long)

Videonauth

mhmmmm sec let me make a test case

anonymous2

I guess that would mean I also merit it less... :0

edwinksl

if you insist on not using math, then you can do char_num // len(char_set) + (char_num % len(char_set) > 0).

which may be less readable than simply using math.ceil

Videonauth

13:39

well the remainder is always a float but im expecting integers

this is why i did the +1

simply

edwinksl

there is nothing wrong with setting a char_limit higher than what is required

but i don't like it, hence math.ceil

Android Dev

@anonymous2 You're gaining it pretty fast. Not as fast as @videonauth though :)

(Neither am I, for that matter)

Videonauth

lets say i have a limit of 1 and a num of 150 it would be 150 / 95 which is 1,578.. without the remainder 1 + 1 = 2 the same as math ceil would do

and you can apply that to any case

edwinksl

what if num is 190

Videonauth

it is 2 and not bigger than

if char_num > len(charset) * char_limit:
    char_limit = (char_num // len(charset)) + 1

ah o.k there is the flaw

ok then the limit would get to three

edwinksl

13:44

exactly

Videonauth

mhmmm

edwinksl

that's why i said your char_limit is 1 larger than what is needed if char_num is a multiple of len(char_set)

Videonauth

well that happens if you transer c++ code :) ok have think this over and extend anyways because i want to add a gui and some more functionality

and still keeping it in a way so you can import it into other scripts

yeah your right math ceil is more elegant in that case

edwinksl

classic question btw stackoverflow.com/questions/2356501/…

there is even an answer that uses numpy, which is truly an overkill here

Videonauth

thats for sure

so int(math.ceil(......

or is it not of importance in python? in c++ i would get a type mismatch

grooveplex

13:52

I keep wondering about how a lucky person Raja is. Their early (2013) questions get upvoted like crazy but show no sense of any research

edwinksl

math.ceil returns an integer

Videonauth

i just came across this function, but this doesnt work on non decimal numbers, if i type something like math.ceil(363) , it returns 363.0. Anyone care to elaborate — letsc Feb 14 '15 at 21:19

grooveplex

Why is that?

edwinksl

type(math.ceil(363))
<class 'int'>

grooveplex

Why are their questions perceived as being GREAT?

Yes, I'm a little jealous.

Videonauth

13:53

mhmm ok than this has changed since this comment was done

grooveplex

If I would ask such a question now, I'd be burned to the ground — and rightly so

edwinksl

@Videonauth yeah looks like it

grooveplex

Their early questions are one liners (really, check for yourself) and I think they could easily be Googled in 2013

Even in 2013

393

Q: How do I shut down or reboot from a terminal?

How can I shut down or reboot Ubuntu using terminal commands?

edwinksl

@Videonauth also note the * operator, that operator is pretty cool

Videonauth

@grooveplex yeah but they have been quesions and answered andsince then people who google recieve often SO as result and so those questions get a big audience since then

grooveplex

13:57

But were one line questions acceptable in 2013?

edwinksl

If they are clear, why not?

Videonauth

@grooveplex google.de/…

grooveplex

If I were to ask such a question today, I'd attract the same amount of negative votes

Videonauth

yep and a quick dupe close maybe too

edwinksl

which is the expected outcome

Videonauth

13:58

because it already has been asked

grooveplex

But Raja couldn't Google?

Or use their imagination?

Or read man pages?

Lucky them :)

anonymous2

Just ran across this command: `:(){ :|:& }:`
P.S.: DON'T DO IT!! (Unless you want to destroy your computer)

Videonauth

well that graphic is kinda old already, i think even older zthan 2013 :) so youre right

@anonymous2 only thing which may happen is that you have to reboot because it becomes inresponsive

but no damage is done by that

grooveplex

It's the only command made up entirely of emotions :O

Videonauth

14:02

it is a bash function

Rinzwind

@AndroidDev he decided to leave AU

Videonauth

replace every : with a word and you migth see it better

anonymous2

@Videonauth Yeah, I just don't want to blow out my CPU or something.

You're right. That does make sense.

Videonauth

even my 2006 motherboard would shut down if the cpu overheats

grooveplex

It's a recursive function! :O

Videonauth

14:04

@anonymous2 it fills your memory so quick and after that the computer is more busy with managing memory as computing, no real harm on cpus is possible

:)

and more recent computers might not even get stuck

because ubuntu has a limitation on recursions for functions build in

my old machine however gets beat to the point of no movement

grooveplex

Also I discovered a one liner that replicates yes

Videonauth

if you want to try it safely run it in a VM and limit the cpu usage to only half of your cores and 90%

grooveplex

echo y|tee /dev/stdin

Videonauth

so you only need to shutdown the vm

if i come across such commands i always be happy to blow up a VM ;)

installing does not take long

Android Dev

@Rinzwind Your guess, or he said that?

Videonauth

@terdon hahaha this is kinda nice :) --> ☃(){ ☃|☃& };

Rinzwind

@AndroidDev a coupld of mods said that

terdon

Yeah :)

Videonauth

i wonder if there isnt a little bomb symbol as well :D

or a toaster symbol xD

well ok that may be windows specific :p

@terdon can you maybe remove the first two comments on this question askubuntu.com/q/793309/522934

terdon

14:30

@Videonauth I deleted all of them, none of them was providing anything useful (except yours but that is obsolete with the rest gone).

Videonauth

yep

i dont mind mine gone would have delted it myself anyways then

Stefano Palazzo

@Videonauth I've removed the final snowman. Someone may blindly copy-paste this.

Videonauth

yeah ok :))

Rinzwind

@StefanoPalazzo you never live dangerously?

terdon

@Videonauth 💣

Videonauth

14:32

which Ucode is this ?

Stefano Palazzo

@Rinzwind I could tell you stories...

I don't think (read: I don't realize) I live dangerously, but I break things all the time :)

Byte Commander

Avast Antivirus for Windows wants me to reboot, let's procrastinate it until the next century!

xD

grooveplex

Why

Byte Commander

Windows.

grooveplex

Just WHY

Byte Commander

14:47

Needs reboots for nearly every change...

Videonauth

This I hated the most on Windows, this "you are a dummy and must restart your computer NOW" mentality

and it keeps nagging forever even if youre in the middle of important work

Byte Commander

Or in the next century, like Avast! :D

Videonauth

mhmmm is there an even stronger random python lib as this normal random? i mean one which implements mersenne-twister and such ? (yeah yeah i know that /rev/random provides a better entropy)

Byte Commander

o.O?

Isn't random's randomness random enough?

Videonauth

in some cases im working on not predictable enough ;)

Byte Commander

14:54

not predictable enough?

Uhm...?

Videonauth

yeah pythons rng feeds of of /dev/urandom in my case i need a recurring result after xx cases of random

for making test cases for something

Stefano Palazzo

@Videonauth For your test cases, you want to use unittest.mock (and unittest.mock.patch)

Videonauth

@StefanoPalazzo great, thanks for the lead, rest i can google

Byte Commander

@Videonauth So you want to seed the RNG with a predefined value so that you can reproduce always the same pseudo-random sequence?

Videonauth

@ByteCommander exactly

Stefano Palazzo

15:00

here's a test case if you want to cheat, or don't click it if you don't :) paste.ubuntu.com/18240087

Videonauth

bookmarked it but want to raed into it myself first

Byte Commander

@Videonauth docs.python.org/3.3/library/random.html#random.seed

No need for a different module, the default random has that built in.

edwinksl

Warning The pseudo-random generators of this module should not be used for security purposes. Use os.urandom() or SystemRandom if you require a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator.

Videonauth

yep thats fine :) both solutions will find its purpose (just can't tell here which)

Stefano Palazzo

@ByteCommander it's good practice not to do any I/O in unit tests (i.e. no files, sockets, or devices). It makes the tests slower and more unpredictable.

That's why you mock stuff.

but that's my opinion :)

Videonauth

15:13

mhmm a bit more than 8 hours for my 8th gold badge :)

edwinksl

nice

Videonauth

yep im getting 100 days old on 0:00 UTC

edwinksl

7.3k rep in 100 days, impressive :D

Videonauth

is there a way to make PyCharm wordwrap the output in the python console? Or am I simply blind and not find it in the settings?

Byte Commander

Don't have it running, but probably there's a button for it right in the left side of the console.

Videonauth

15:35

nope according to help not on the window itself

don.joey

15:47

hi guys, no offense to new mods (on the contrary: well done!), but how in the world did Jacob not get elected??

Videonauth

@don.joey he lend me some of his fan base so i wouldnt look to bad in the election xD

jokerdino

@don.joey yes

j0h

I have a launchcode bug to look into,
file:///home/jay/Desktop/dur.png

Videonauth

o/ jokerdino, how are you , you have been very quiet lately :)

jokerdino

Been focused on other things these days.

Videonauth

16:00

@ByteCommander the button for using soft wrap is in the debug console and then affects the python console as well if clicked

Byte Commander

Aha.

Good to know.

j0h

in gcc, typedef int bool; gives this: error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type ‘bool’ [-fpermissive] It compiled fine in gcc on Ubuntu 15.10, but not in Ubutnu 16.04.
both are GCC5+.

Rinzwind

Anyone switch to 16.10 yet?

Videonauth

@Rinzwind only in a VM still runs on unity 7 tho

and haven't looked at it lately

j0h

@Rinzwind I just switched like 15 minutes ago

rohith

16:15

Hello everyone :D Can anyone tell me How to make use of SSH and TELNET to send messages ?

Journeyman Geek

@rohith define 'send messages'

to who?

rohith

maybe my friends

who are also using ubuntu

j0h

@rohith use the write command, or wall, or mail.

all via ssh

rohith

@j0h @Journeyman any study materials that you would suggest , to learn more about SSH or TELNET ? :)

j0h

$man ssh

Journeyman Geek

16:21

@rohith telnet and ssh are essentially tools for running command remotely

rohith

oh

Journeyman Geek

if you're on the same system, wall. If you're on another one, they'd need a client.

j0h

you can write a script that logs you in, and messages after login

Journeyman Geek

for example. I have a script that sends messages over the growl protocol to my windows box

rohith

@Journeyman I had to google-search what was growl protocol ... I'm a complete newbie and I have Zero knowledge :P

@j0h just read the man-page "man ssh"...so ssh allows me to have a remote session ?

j0h

16:33

@rohith provding there is a server, and you have permissions for it yes. then you execute commands, write scripts, send pre-writen commands etc.

rohith

oh

hehe and I'm getting over my flu slowly and finished a first small rudimentary python program today

Nathan Osman

18:47

@edwinksl Thanks.

@Videonauth Not cool about the flu. But finishing a Python program - that's awesome.

Videonauth

yep and it werks even is able to crate 100k character passwords with a decent entropy :)

Just downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu, What do I do now? I see where it is downloaded in my downloaded folder, but how do I run this operating system? I am new to this...Ha! Thank you

14.04

Kupferdrache

I think, it is off topic, close vote seem ok, for me, but, I don't think it needs a downvote as well.

edwinksl

it doesn't show any research effort

because if it did, the OP would have found the dupe

Videonauth

19:34

well some people pass by leaving their close votes sadly, but to be honest this question is so bad that it hurts already

edwinksl

AU is pretty forgiving

Videonauth

and i mean it is no rocket sience to put a dvd do a drive or plug an USB in ;)

edwinksl

plenty of the new questions i see on SO have negative votes

Kupferdrache

I made a basic answer anyway befor it got closed, not a fully fleshed out one, but a helpful one, at least I hope so.

Videonauth

yep or new answers dont get UV :) but well mine will in time i guess

@Kupferdrache you can still flesh it out tho if you feel it is lacking

edwinksl

19:37

@Kupferdrache you can just delete your answer on the closed question and copy paste it into the dupetarget if you think your answer is different from the rest

Videonauth

here is what i do, i answer a question, let it be for an hour or so then revisit it

Kupferdrache

Not without more information.

edwinksl

in any case, -4 is damn rare in AU, it is reserved for truly awful things

Kupferdrache

Most times I don't think my answer give any real new stuff, so I let be.

I am not good at explaining most stuff i try to learn for my self.

Videonauth

You wanna know how i learned to use Linux after I migrated to it from windows this year February?

Kupferdrache

19:42

That could be a reson, why my own questions aren't well visited either. Or they are too special, who knows?

Sure, it is ever a good idea to learn somthing new @Videonauth .

Videonauth

Firstly i installed ubuntu on my laptop, banged my head against a wall because of the wifi for a few weeks untill i found ask ubuntu, broke serveral installations in the process then to make it suitable for myself, but only reading here

then after i was settled i made a vm and tried to figure out commandline question answers

just answered them

trial and error till i had the sollution

and if i broke the VM i started over

then stumbled over questions where i felt, huh? well i had this problem too a few weeks back and answered them too

this is how i gained 7k+ rep within 100 days

Kupferdrache

O lot of efford, it's a pitty you have done this already, less question, I could try the same with.

Videonauth

Simply do a lot of new questions every day, and i keep others normaly finding the dupes, im more the answer first then look for dupe guy :)

4 accepted answers per day plus maybe 1 upvote are already 100 reputation

i aim normally for answering about 5-6 questions if i can

per day

Kupferdrache

yup, I am still on 50, but I try to do my best.

Videonauth

i have to admit sometimes its really a race against the clock to answer a question :) some people here are really quick finding solutions

SHAME on you @rinz

xD

Rinzwind

19:55

@Videonauth 215 rep today so I wont bother you today ;)

Videonauth

hahaha good to know lol

Kupferdrache

I am still on figuring out, What I wantesd to much here: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/286740/…

Videonauth

@Kupferdrache Other thing is, the more answers you have already provided the more rep you simply get coming in per day somehow by older answers of you where someone found it helpful and upvotes it

Kupferdrache

sometimes I hate the chat for that, you get only a preview, when you post nothing but a link

edwinksl

@rinz when will you beat oli

Rinzwind

19:56

@edwinksl never

I am 3.1k up this year. so lets assume I can extend that to 6.2 over the whole year

gap is 41k

so ... if I keep it up... in 8 years?

so never :-D

Videonauth

yeah i guess the jump up to about the top 100 users here is easy, then its getting slower and slower to gain positions

Rinzwind

1st 50k are pretty easy.

Kupferdrache

@Rinzwind you made me laugh, waths your specialty?

Videonauth

well but still not earned in three months this far i got knowledge xD

Kupferdrache

The longer you stay and the sooner you start in a board the easier it gets, as far a i can see it from my view.

Edity

good morning. 8 am here in askubuntu

Rinzwind

@Kupferdrache it is. you can just start answering anything you see. pick up 2, 3, 4 upvotes per anwser. stop when at 200. and do the same the next day. you will get extra rep from the 1st day on the 2nd day.

the 2n 50k though... ppl will expect long and thorough answers from you.

@Videonauth yes you can.

Kupferdrache

Didn't find enough answers for that for me, I come at one anwser per day at best 2 if I am feeling really good including the anwsers to my own questions. So it still a long way.

it is 10 pm here

Videonauth

@Rinzwind yep but the mlongest answers didnt bring me the most reputation ;) the short ones have done that

Rinzwind

Videonauth

my personal feeling is to skip it because i was already who rose the LQ flag on this

Kupferdrache

hey someone, find a question from me interesting enough to upvote it, I answered it my self meanwhile. may be my other one attractes some comments soon(tm).

Videonauth

but chmod 777 again is so bad that i want to recommend deletion without a comment

well i skipped it

Rinzwind

@Videonauth hmm not true for /tmp/ 1 thing though: it MUST have also sticky bit set

Videonauth

@Kupferdrache by the way weekends are the best time to gain first rep

the amount of questions incomming is mostly higher as during the week

especially beginner questions

Kupferdrache

rep, isn-t that important, as long as I can get at least comment to my questions and/or anwsers.

Rinzwind

@Videonauth voted for delete on that answer

Edity

rep is important!

Rinzwind

@Edity nope. rep is nothing :=D

Videonauth

@Edity edity not really, but still a nice side effect :)

Edity

I know this is maybe off topic but bare with me please, I'm trying to find Baldur's Gate II CD's so I can install it with PlayonLinux on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop. I have investigated that people usually download cd's from GOG, but there are not for free, and I can not find valid version on any tor...

14.04 games playonlinux

seems illegal to me?

I still cant get it, if people really want a game there are means to obtain them ... but to ask on an official site about it makes me wanna head-desk

and if it is a great game which you really can obtain as an legit copy for really low money, well.. i never will understand this

dammit rinz you where again quicker than me. I took to long for my anwser.

Slowly I am thinking, you must hve a link list laying beside you quick, you find the dupes each time.

@Kupferdrache You better advise to edit the /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/<files> instead, followed by an update grub.

--> askubuntu.com/questions/793723/ubuntu-startup-run-level

that would be the proper way of solving it

you might need to google a bit where to put those parameters there to makeit work

:) tip to improve your answer

Kupferdrache

You are right, did the quick and dirty way I am using for my LFS boot entry.

another thing if you fear to gain minus votes for something while you edit it, delete it and undelete it later after you have edited it

chaskes

But you don't want to delete too many answers either. You might just want to compose offline than post when finished.

^what he says

my tip is only if you have already posted an answer

and @chaskes if you undelete your answer later on this should have no impact, or?

chaskes

I don't know about that one. I need someone more SE aware to weigh in on that.

Videonauth

well where are the old school mods when they are needed ;)

maybe rinzi knows that ?

Rinzwind

@Kupferdrache na. just using askubuntu as a search engine from the google search bar

@Videonauth or add a "work in progress" to the answer

Kupferdrache

it is basicly that same ;)

@Videonauth I updated the answer with your suggestion.

Rinzwind

@NathanOsman this aint a rant. this is just common sense :=D

Videonauth

20:56

@Kupferdrache and i edited it a buit to make it a tad better and woosh you have an accept :)

Nathan Osman

It sounded like a rant to me :D

chaskes

@Kupferdrache "Work in progress" (as rinziwind says) is cool. but, that I thought that answer that I just commented on kind of stretched the work in progress concept close to its limits. Just a thought. :)

Videonauth

and an upvote, cool so 25 more reputation :)

Rinzwind

@NathanOsman :D the thruth is never a rant :+

chaskes

There's a healthy element of rant. I also hate it when some company abandons a project you shelled out a lot for in just a year or so.

Nice, doesn't solve my own problem, but feels good

Videonauth

some answers wanna make me cringe
