Does this answer all make sense for a newbie?

A: How can I install HP WiFi drivers for the HP Stream 13?

I have exactly the same laptop and had exactly the same issue. The solution? Install BudgieOS on it first. This is a distribution based on Ubuntu 16.04. This distribution has (for some reason) different or additional drivers which enable the WiFi on this laptop. Make sure you install the 3rd pa...

@Seth have you listened to Unbelievable?

Sep 14 at 1:00, by Seth

Owl City - Unbelievable (Animated Main Video) ft. Hanson

that was a ping to you ;)

anyone tried writing go in atom? I can't seem to get the autocomplete working.

I might (gasp) go back to VS Code, which has amazing go support.

You will have to install a plugin for Go in Atom

I did that.

hmm

3:12 AM

I have go and go-plus

@Seth guess that's a "yes" ;P

;)

srsly though

his songs make no sense at all

6 hours ago, by Zacharee1

MetaMetaMetaMetaMeta METAAAA

y'all gave that 6 stars?

rly

yes

Who makes better DSLR's? Cannon or Nikon?

3:18 AM

Nikon according to my photographer roommate of last year

But Canon looks prettier

97.17% helpful flags.

not bad.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I bet it depends on the model number, your budget and if it's on sale or not.

@TheXed That's editor wars photographer edition :P

I prefer canon, tho I haven't had too much experience with either. I know people that prefer both.

@TheXed they're both good though afaik, so whichever is cheaper. I like my Rebel T5i a lot

i think it's really the lens that matters, no?

3:21 AM

@KazWolfe well sensor is important too

and flexibility of the UI

CHDK.

@Seth how about Thunderstruck?

@KazWolfe mine already does RAW

that's for point-n-shoot Canons, not DSLR

also DSLR sensors look cool.

$#%&@^$#$

Uh-oh...

That's a bad sign.

3:23 AM

wat

um, seth?

is everything okay?

SETH HAS TURNED INTO A CAT

2

He must have booted Windows or something.

ILLERMINERTIH CONFRIMED

@NathanOsman actually i think it's a worse sign if he actually curses in this chat.

3:24 AM

Budget = $8.4k, that should get me a nice camera right?

I wondered why things were telling me gopath wasn't set. So I check my .zshrc. export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin -.-

@TheXed What is with you and 8.4k

@TheXed and 10 lenses o_O

@TheXed What are you buying, a camera or a video studio?

@Seth am confooz

@NathanOsman a Mac

3:24 AM

@Seth That should be GOPATH not GOROOT.

@Zacharee1 WITH TOUCHBAR!

I overwrote PATH instead of setting GOPATH

@KazWolfe I just got an inheritance check for 8.4k in the mail Tuesday...I want to buy 2 things, a camera, and build a computer, the rest is going in savings...

@NathanOsman That was supposed to be setting GOPATH, no PATH

@KazWolfe AW YISSS

3:25 AM

@Seth no, you actually do want that line.

@Seth le eksdee

Here's what you really want:

@NathanOsman then I'm confused.

export GOPATH=...
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

oh duh. I'm an idiot. I should just go to bed and stop trying to be productive.

3:26 AM

You want $GOPATH/bin in $PATH so you can run stuff you compile.

@Seth good idea. Listen to some Owl City

^--- this

rare to see seth be such a nubcake

@NathanOsman yeah.. now I see. thanks

yawns

@edwinksl you just haven't been around long enough then :P

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:27 AM

@KazWolfe I don't do drugs :P

Bacon-flavored coffee... or coffee-flavored bacon?

That is the question.

@Seth good time to start.

you are technically correct @Seth

@NathanOsman ewwww

WinEunuuchs2Unix

lol kaz

3:28 AM

@KazWolfe touché.

@Seth maybe it is a good time to start?

@Zacharee1 The only correct response.

@Seth tooshee

I hate coffee.

@NathanOsman YOU ARE BANNED FROM UBUNTUFORUMS

3:28 AM

@NathanOsman I like coffee, but mixed with bacon???

Fine.

@Zacharee1 Yeah... no.

@KazWolfe that's not too much of a problem on Ask Ubuntu

I actually have a fruit/herbal coffee alternative thing I occasionally drink. My body can't handle any caffeine though.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

you are only banned form AU if you hate hats or points

IVE BEEN BUMPED english.stackexchange.com/questions/355952/…

3:29 AM

@Seth decaf?

I drank a 12oz coffee in July around ~3. Was in bed jittering until 2.

@Seth you build up a tolerance to it after a while.

and then that tolerance becomes a dependence.

and then you're a real programmer!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I can only drink coffee in the morning, else I get #SethCoffeeDisorder

lolol

@Zacharee1 downvote

@NathanOsman you're quite the dancer

lel

I have no idea what that has to do with the conversation.

But there it is.

@Seth well you don't die from an overdose.

@NathanOsman it looks somewhat like you :p

@KazWolfe heart attack from too much caffeine

3:35 AM

@Zacharee1 ಠ_ಠ

huehuehue

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Nathan your .gif is driving my CPU to 82 degrees!

@KazWolfe like Carrie Fisher except coffee instead of cocaine

@WinEunuuchs2Unix take it outside

@Zacharee1 that happens if you snort a pound of caffeine. or do a college student and down six five-hour-energies in 5 minutes.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

her mom just died Al-Jazeera said

3:35 AM

@KazWolfe snort.. caffeine?

user image

@WinEunuuchs2Unix yup. Of stroke, planning daughter's funeral

@NathanOsman omg

3:37 AM

Speaking of jokes:

user image

@KazWolfe christ

I see nothing

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Nikon is better than Canon... or Canon is better than Nikon

Canon is better.

@edwinksl "thrusty" xD

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@WinEunuuchs2Unix one could say the same of UNIX

@Zacharee1 on par with willy

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

3:48 AM

good evening

@IanC welcome to the ~~crazy~~ General Room.

and what the evening it's been

WinEunuuchs2Unix

UNIX, POSIX, SOLARIS, REHL, FEDORA, ARCH they are all supposed to be different... Ubuntu shouldn't be different... then there is IBM, Oracle (Sun), DEC (okay they are dead), etc.

Yeah. I feel like "what the evening" describes this quite well.

What the evening?

3:50 AM

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Ubuntu, is in fact, GNU/Ubuntu, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Ubuntu. Ubuntu is an inplementation of the functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Ubuntu”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically th…

WinEunuuchs2Unix

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe in a couple of years Ubuntu will be dead along with Arch, Fedora, Lint, etc. and there will just be systemD :0

@edwinksl like ur mam

@WinEunuuchs2Unix GNU/Ubuntu, GNU/Arch, GNU/Fedora, GNU/Mint, and GNU/Systemd. Get your names right.

@Zacharee1 clickhole.com/blogpost/…

@KazWolfe GAH.

user image

"HELLO"

first rule to making a chatbot: don't let us know the trigger words.

@KazWolfe Kinda hard to do when something is open source.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

user image

@NathanOsman #ClosedSourceMasterRace

3:55 AM

Bonus fact: "gah" spelled backwards is "hag".

WinEunuuchs2Unix

<<< #ClosedSourceOfOne

or just store trigger words in a config file on the gitignore

user image

@KazWolfe It can be customized - that's just the default

gah
