Wat

The data arrow images I used are black

Why are they white?

At least I know they aren't showing up under the signal bars

Nathan Osman

8:23 PM

C'mon Amazon... send me my screwdriver!

Zacharee1

no

Nathan Osman

@Seth:

Comic Sans is gone.

Seth

That looks pretty good @NathanOsman!

Nathan Osman

Answer has been edited then.

:D

Byte Commander

Looks cool! I like the font.

Nathan Osman

8:34 PM

It's called CHAW.

Thomas Ward

boo it's not a chaotic font :P

Byte Commander

@ThomasWard Now I'm curious for an example of a chaotic font

Meh, OP asks for performing something recursively, I write a two-meter find command that does the job, then he comments that he actually didn't want recursion.

I even gave them a non-recursive and recursive example and they picked the second one.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman yuck for font :p

Fabby

@NathanOsman Want me to DHL you mine?

Zacharee1

DHL? He'll never get it

Byte Commander

8:48 PM

Whoa, that guy has 7 diamonds and is nominated for an 8th on Workplace.SE stackexchange.com/users/251740/rory-alsop?tab=accounts looks at @terdon who has only two... ;)

Thomas Ward

Zacharee1

perfect

Byte Commander

@ThomasWard I said "font", not hieroglyphs.

Thomas Ward

@ByteCommander so you don't read ChaosScript?

Byte Commander

Expecting latin letters there...

Thomas Ward

8:49 PM

aka 'Unitology'

Zacharee1

it's like Android is forcing the arrows to render as white...

Thomas Ward

@ByteCommander :P

Byte Commander

ARGV! How the heck can this be done? My find command is already two meters long.

Ok I also want to tell the find command to only move folders with a certain filetype inside, so that it will only move the folders with .jpg files in for example — Johnny 3 mins ago

And OP keeps happily adding new specs...

Thomas Ward

@ByteCommander tell him to stop adding specs

or tell him to edit and put ALL the specs he needs

(not that last one, I'm currently wielding a Chaos Hammer, which we don't want me swinging in the mod system right now >:D)

Byte Commander

Aww...

Anyway, LE SIGH

Zanna

8:53 PM

Hahahaha

Byte Commander

So I need a nested find in a find?

Zanna

Having an evil mod is endlessly amusing

@ByteCommander ugh what hellish mess is this?

Thomas Ward

@Johnny It has been suggested in chat that you keep changing the specs of what you're asking for. Please state all the things you need the commands to do, so that we don't have to constantly revise scripts just to adjust to a new specification. — Thomas Ward ♦ 19 secs ago

user136984

@NathanOsman Yes, the link they provided was to something in that app store.

user136984

I think that's what they call it anyway.

Nathan Osman

8:54 PM

@Fabby Thanks but I'm good.

user136984

The subdomain name suggested that.

Nathan Osman

Amazon is saying they might get it here before the end of the week, so that's good enough.

Byte Commander

@Zanna Enjoy it with me askubuntu.com/a/880548/367990

@ThomasWard Thanks, I've seen it already

Nathan Osman

@ParanoidPanda Are we talking about the Java obfuscator?

user136984

@NathanOsman: Yes

user136984

8:55 PM

The link the guy provided in his answer.

user136984

It's to a play.google.com address.

Nathan Osman

Oh. I didn't see the other answer.

It was posted after mine.

user136984

@NathanOsman: That would explain the confusion! I only saw the answer I got notified about! I didn't notice your answer! :D

Nathan Osman

His answer looks a little suspicious too...

You don't say anything about Android but he assumes it.

Assuming things in answers is a tell-tale sign of spam.

user136984

@NathanOsman: Are you on Ubuntu by the way or another distro? I can never remember which of the mods are running different distros.

user136984

9:08 PM

Actually, it's probably the same with Ubuntu what I've got as an issue... How exactly does one manually install the Oracle JDK? Because I have the tar.gz file and I have unzipped it, but what do I actually do with it? I'm sure I put it somewhere but I just can't remember where as it's been such a while since I've done this manually.

Nathan Osman

I am on Ubuntu, yes.

Thomas Ward

well you know ONE mod who's on ubuntu

glares at @ParanoidPanda

user136984

Ah, well, I'm a traitor now that I'm on Arch. >:P

Zanna

@ByteCommander o.O have a +1 in solidarity

Nathan Osman

So... the easiest way is probably the Webupd8 PPA:

user136984

9:11 PM

@NathanOsman: I don't have that on Arch...

Nathan Osman

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-installer

@ParanoidPanda Wat. Arch?

user136984

But the manual installation method should be the same across distros...

user136984

I'm on Arch Linux now.

Nathan Osman

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/java

Arch Wiki is one of the best sources of knowledge around.

user136984

Oh, I didn't think of looking there for some reason... But I looked everywhere else! :D

Nathan Osman

9:12 PM

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/java#Unsupported_JVM_from_AUR

^--- that part in particular

user136984

The AUR is an insecure user repository that can only be accessed through a special program and the web interface. You are warned that any user can upload anything there so it's probably not the best idea to get stuff from there.

Nathan Osman

It's like PPAs for Ubuntu.

Anyone can create a PPA and upload to it.

Just like anyone can upload PKGBUILDs to AUR.

Seth

@ParanoidPanda lol

user136984

@NathanOsman: Yes, but the PPA for the Oracle Java installer in Ubuntu is maintained by a team with a good reputation... Stuff in the AUR is maintained by just random users. I would trust them less as I don't know who they are.

Nathan Osman

Well, we're no longer dealing with a technical problem but a psychological one now :P

user136984

9:17 PM

I mean, I know I also don't know the people in the webupd8team, but still, they are a well established team.

user136984

These are just random people.

Nathan Osman

Yes, welcome to the Internet :D

All of that being said...

PKGBUILD files are pretty simple to read, so that you can see exactly what it's doing to your system.

user136984

@NathanOsman: Well, there is a manual way of just copying the tar.gz file contents to the right place in the file system and setting the environment variables. I know this because I used to do this, I just don't remember quite what this was.

Nathan Osman

They are waaaaay easier to read than Debian packages.

Here's the commands that it's going to run on your system: aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=jdk

user136984

I would just read the Oracle installation instructions, but for some reason my system doesn't recognize the characters on that page.

Nathan Osman

9:20 PM

I can capture a screenshot for you if you need it.

user136984

That would be helpful.

Nathan Osman

What's the link?

user136984

This should be it.

user136984

I think...

Nathan Osman

It's in Chinese.

Is that the language you want it in?

user136984

9:23 PM

No... I was hoping for English...

user136984

How on earth did I get to the Chinese section?!

Nathan Osman

Let me see if I can find the correct page.

user136984

No wonder my browser couldn't understand it...

user136984

That's strange.

Nathan Osman

docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/…

That might be what you're looking for.

Byte Commander

9:25 PM

@Zanna find-ception has been done!

user136984

@NathanOsman: Right... Thanks! :)

Seth

@NathanOsman but he blocks images

Zanna

@ByteCommander applause

user136984

@NathanOsman: It still doesn't say where to install it to... Where does the webupd8 PPA install it to do you know?

Nathan Osman

I'm not sure.

Seth

9:41 PM

I thought it was /opt.

user136984

I always though it was in /usr somewhere. I think a sub-directory in there.

terdon

@ByteCommander Rory is special that way.

user136984

*thought

user136984

I guess it doesn't really matter where I put it...

user136984

/opt it is then!

Zanna

10:01 PM

@Zanna Sorry, had to revert your edit as it doesn't add much value. If you click on the Risk of Dietary Toxicity in the source - it has max. limits for every person - children, adults incl. pregnant women. As with any supplement there will be problems if taken in excess, so not sure why it needs to be called out as such. — sv. 27 mins ago

Who dares revert my edits?! (It's not on AU)

rage quit SE for the day

Byte Commander

We'll miss you those two hours.

Zanna

Lol :)

Seth

why do HTML comments have to be so hard -.-

Byte Commander

It's called Hard Text Markup Language for a reason... ;-D

Seth

haha

Byte Commander

10:07 PM

Just like the recursive acronym PHP for "Programmers Hate PHP" - or "PHP hates Programmers".

Nathan Osman

@Seth Hard?

<!-- comment goes here -->

They are standard XML comments.

Seth

@NathanOsman compared to // or # yes.

edwinksl

@Zanna not me

Seth

it's even more characters than C style comments :P

Nathan Osman

@Seth Wait until you start using Django's template language...

{% comment %} thing {% endcomment %}

Seth

10:09 PM

@NathanOsman eww

Nathan Osman

Jinja2 at least has:

{# comment #}

@Seth Luckily you will very rarely need to use comments in templates.

Seth

@NathanOsman true

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman I believe JSP looks the same

Nathan Osman

JSP doesn't count as a thing.

Seth

@ByteCommander double eww

Byte Commander

10:11 PM

what then?

Nathan Osman

I just got an offer to raise my credit limit.

But... they want to know my annual salary.

How does that work when you're self-employed...?

Thomas Ward

@NathanOsman how much money do you put into the bank net when self-employed, after taxes?

or, how much money gross do you earn

in a year

hence annual salary

since you're still paying yourself

Nathan Osman

10:28 PM

I guess I could give last year's figure.

I could give them the amount before taxes that I claimed as income on my income tax.

It's through my bank, so it may even be easier to just walk in there and sort it out.

Thomas Ward

@NathanOsman whenever I get asked for annual salary it's usually the gross amount earned

not net

so i'd be at $23k right now

for my 'annual salary'

taxes whittle away at that but I get that back with tax refunds :)

oh and fun fact those refunds aren't taxable >:D

Nathan Osman

Same here.

Zanna

@edwinksl :) <3

Thomas Ward

10:45 PM

calls forth a summoning vortex, to summon his more evil self for mod queue burning duties

user136984

Well...

user136984

Goodnight folks! :)

Thomas Ward

A great Darkness has swept through the flags queue, and cleared most of it away with Flames of Evil and Darkness. Darkness Moderator returns to the shadows from whence he came

@ParanoidPanda good night :)

anyways, that's cleaned up now

aaaaand, i'm bored again

IanC

@NathanOsman lol, that's what happens when someone overthinks syntax :p

Thomas Ward

oh goody i have to go to class that ends at 9:30PM >.>

Nathan Osman

10:55 PM

Chrome is doing it again ಠ_ಠ

MP4 files are not properly reloaded with shift+f5

IanC

anyone who enjoys Jazz around?

Thomas Ward

randomly appears in a burst of chaos, fire, and darkness

Nathan Osman

mysteriously disappears when the smoke settles...

@ThomasWard I lost four points because a user was removed.... Why couldn't you remove the people that down-voted me instead so I'd gain points :D Upload to follow:
