Serg

@Videonauth I fixed that for you :) it's on star wall now

Videonauth

thanks

this book entered public domain it seems since it on archive.org

but its a still valid and good book

Serg

5:07 PM

I've had this book for a while, and used it for implementing a number to word converter for one guy like 2 years ago @Videonauth good stuff :)

OK, so now that I have Quartus installed, all I need is to get my dev board. Goodbye 175 $ T_T

@Zacharee1 @ByteCommander how's that ?

Maybe we should make it squarer ?

Byte Commander

If the lines were less bacon-wavy, it would be better, but it's okay for me.

Serg

I like that they're wavy, but they're kinda non-symetrical. Symetrical would look better

@Zacharee1 OK, final request: squarer shape, symetrical wavy lines, and that's it. Let's get it over with

I'll still have to edit the deb package and the indicator itself to include the icons

If anyone here happens to have a score of at least +5 in virtual-console and wants to vote on making virtual-terminal a synonym of it, I encourage you to do so.

Q: These tags are [virtual-]ly the same!

Right now we have separate virtual-console and virtual-terminal tags. One should be made a synonym of the other, but which one should be the master tag? We have another question on meta about this, posted well over a year ago, but it has languished unanswered and also seems like it's asking abou...

@EliahKagan Done, thank you.

Eliah Kagan

@jokerdino Great -- thanks!

I like to list all the questions I involved but each question should listed only once. If I want to see a list where I contributed a comment, answer or question I have to go to all actions. There for I get a list where each entry represents a action and I want a list like this, but unify this lis...

Sounds legit.

Anybody knows how to set icon for indicator when status is set to PASSIVE ?

IanC

@Serg I think you can only set an icon for Attention status. Doesn't the passive status icon is the same one used on the active status?

Serg

@IanC well, let me test. I think it does use the same

@IanC it doesn't even show up if I set status to PASSIVE at startup :/

IanC

the indicator doesn't show?

I never used the built in status on indicators, think once I used the attention, but I don't remember it doing anything other than changing the icon to the "Attention Status" icon

why do you need the passive status?

Serg

There's times where my new indicator is in "disabled" state sort of

IanC

6:27 PM

@Serg I see, why don't you do the idle state internally? I don't know up to what point those app indicator states are really useful, not sure if there is a difference (other then the subtle change of icons, or hiding) that makes it worth using them

like, ignoring the indicator status, just maybe changing icons so the user sees the indicator is idle?

Nathan Osman

I think in this case the opposite of "active" is "inactive".

Serg

Well, either way, I guess I'll have to switch to ATTENTION state

Changes are on github already anway

Fabby

7:14 PM

@ByteCommander Yeah, sorry! too many downvotes... @Zacharee1 was right: didnt go well.

edwinksl

lol what did you ask

Fabby

@Zacharee1 Deleted it.

@edwinksl I wanted to have a /shrugh command

@NathanOsman In what case is the opposite of "active" not "inactive"???

edwinksl

shrug command would be nice

i am too lazy to copypasta that

Eliah Kagan

Often "passive" is considered the opposite of "active."

Fabby

:) True! Thanks...

anyone any close votes left?

Kali!

when are we getting that

Fabby

@ByteCommander What were you going to say to the /shrug command?

Byte Commander

I had posted it in chat below my reply message.

Scroll down in the history below my ping.

Basically to use v(^_^)v or better \_(^_^)_/ instead, which is directly typable on most keyboards

Seth

8:07 PM

Good grief. I've started getting recruitment spam through github.

Fabby

@Seth High-paying jobs or menial jobs?

;-)

@ByteCommander Thanks! \_(^_^)_/

Seth

@Fabby Didn't bother to find out. But considering the sad state of my GitHub profile I'm not impressed that I was contacted.

Fabby

Meh. too complicated to type on my keyboard.

Byte Commander

Yeah, the double-backslash remains an issue there...

Fabby

I'll stay with copy-paste

@Fabby you know, I once wrote a userscript that added a shrug button next to the upload button in chat.

Serg

@Fabby @ByteCommander I can do that :D

Fabby

:D

Seth

I wonder if I still have a copy of that anywhere.

Fabby

@Seth now that would be nice!!!

Serg

Actually . . . you can use the one I wrote for @ByteCommander already !

but you can also use this:
