@Dennis ... oh. Huh, for some reason I had the feeling I've done that before
 
3:01 AM
> dennis@dennis
 
@Dennis I think the shell is applying the alias only after executing the entire line
 
3 mins ago, by Dennis
@Cyoce That doesn't actually work. You need a newline here.

@AlexA. dennis@dennis:/dennis$ dennis dennis:dennis dennis
 
Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty comfortable margin
 
3:03 AM
The moment where you learn one thing is the moment where you forget another. The moment when you learn to ride a bicycle without training wheels is the moment where you can't use them anymore. The moment where you learn a programming language is the moment where you never see the world the same again. The moment where you see something that you can't see is the moment where curiosity and creativity is made. The moment where you cannot learn is the moment where you cannot live.

I have no clue what inspired me to write that
but its pretty deep
 
wow such depth very meaning amaze
 
Hello
How are the things

@Doorknob冰 Wow how am I #3?
 
@Doorknob冰 Oh just you wait
I haven't been even trying to get hats.
 
3:06 AM
Me neither
 
@quartata You'll have a lot of catching up to do :P
 
@quartata I think that's false
 
@Doorknob冰 where did you find that?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Winter Bash site, leaderboard
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's the PPCG leaderboard
I'm 5th network-wide.
 
Tied with Hosch and Gilles.
 
@Isaac needs a hat
 
Woo I'm #7!
 
Don't you hate it when the SE Chat tab still shows a new message in the tab title yet you can obviously see the messages. (Dual monitor problems)
 
3:07 AM
Never happened to me
Oh
All the time
Worse with skype
 
The icon flashes yellow
 
wth @MartinBüttner sock confirmed
 
LOOK AT ME
Stupid skype I can read you without opening you..
 
I love how this question:
4
Q: Find the absolute value of a number without built-in functions

TimtechThe challenge is to take any real number as input and output or return the absolute value. You may not use any built-in functions other than those dealing with input and output/returning. This is code golf, so the shortest code wins. This is my first question here, so bear with me if I've left so...

Got closed yesterday after 2 years
 
3:09 AM
In skype you have to let it sit for like 5 minutes before it realizes that you read faster than an old man without glasses.
 
XD
 
@quartata Site standards have been gradually tightening up over the years
 
Why would I need to build zlib?!
 
@quartata the very first close vote was yesterday too
 
macports could be even worse than brew.
 
3:09 AM
@AlexA. I know but it's funny
 
@feersum Have you tried compiling it with Apple's not gcc?
I bet you it'll work just fine.
 
@AlexA. Yes, and it did not work that well.
 
Is there a SEDE query for questions older than a year?
 
@quartata Yes
 
awh I can't answer
 
3:10 AM
@feersum What happened?
@quartata Probably but it'd be easy to make
 
Actually no, I just let it use clang.
 
Absolute value formula:
 
@feersum Hm?
 
abs(n) = n((n>0)-(n<0))
 
very pretty
 
3:11 AM
What the heck is this "Reseacher" hat I got
Oh I see.
I just managed to get a hat while trying to get a different hat
In your face @Doorknob冰
 
haha
 
Is Macports like Cygwin for Mac or something?
 
@feersum No
It's a package manager
 
MacPorts is like shit for turds
 
3:13 AM
But it likes to install its own stuff
I suppose you could consider it like Cygwin though.
 
Christie just called Obama a "feckless weakling"
 
I did use it to run KDE 3 on OS X a long time ago
 
Well the list of basic packages that it's building are more like what I'd see if I was trying to install Linux.

Someone let me know when the politics have stopped please
 
@Mego In general or in here?
 
Anonymous
@AlexA. Preferably both, but I'll settle for the latter :)
 
They never stop in general
 
I prefer to think of politics as entertainment.
 
Anonymous
I come here for code golf, Perl hate, and tabs-vs-spaces, not for color commentary on political debates

Not people who have some kind of control over my life or anything like that.
 
@Mego Perl hate is color commentary on political debates

@quartata No it's not, it's a fact of life
 
@Mego Don't forget vim vs. emacs
 
@isaacg Which do you use?

@isaacg Nah that one's been settled. Atom.

Nope, I think it's called Atom.

I'm going to try out atom.

atom = best editor

@isaacg You'll never go back
 
@isaacg Do it, then develop a Pyth package for it
 
You can give it your own CSS
 
Honestly though at the moment I prefer Vim's Julia package to Atom's.
 
@AlexA. omg please do that @isaacg

We're nearing the 3-hour mark in the race between Homebrew and Macports to install gcc. No one can tell who's ahead.
 
Are you running them at the same time on the same machine?

@Cyoce ... you expect Stack Exchange to be completely 100% entirely bug-free?
There's hundreds of unfixed bugs.

And chat is one of the most neglected features on the network anyway...
@AlexA. Redundant redundancy is redundant
 
No but I did not expect to be the one to find it
