The Nineteenth Byte

Unity is the only reason Ubuntu isn't as popular as it could be: everyone either loves it and will never use anything else, but most people think it's ugly, unfortunately

Easterly Irk

@LegionMammal978 did you try turning it off and on again?

@tac Wait

LegionMammal978

@EasterlyIrk Yes, that's how I'm typing this :p

Easterly Irk

I think it is fine.

LegionMammal978

It works

tac

@MarsUltor wait-for-state: stop/waiting

Easterly Irk

@LegionMammal978 ~~is it fixed now?~~ good

Plus, this is Ubuntu + Unity

Easterly Irk

wtf

is that mac style for ubuntu?

Mars Ultor

It doesn't look that bad.

@EasterlyIrk Docky + Mac icon pack/wallpapers/cursor

tac

@MarsUltor hah! that's great, but the Apple logo almost makes it worse than unity for me :P

Mars Ultor

@tac So I should remove it?

tac

@MarsUltor no omg, it's your desktop

Geobits

2:16 AM

eeeeeeeEEEEeeeeeewwwwww

Mars Ultor

@Geobits What?

@tac ?

Doorknob

@GEOBITS IS BACK \o/

CoolestVeto

@MarsUltor It's built wrong - the Apple is on the leftmost side anyways. This should not be a thing.

LegionMammal978

Normally, it looks like:

Mars Ultor

@CoolestVeto I know.

Geobits

2:18 AM

@Doorknob Don't get too comfy with him. He's going to be intoxicated to some degree soon, so there's no telling what the name will be at the end of the night.

LegionMammal978

Mars Ultor

@CoolestVeto But that's the worst thing about Unity. It's not very configurable.

tac

CoolestVeto

@Geobits Sog-E Bits?

LegionMammal978

@tac Looks like Win10 ;p

Geobits

2:19 AM

@CoolestVeto Hmm. Maybe.

tac

I like my UI minimal

@LegionMammal978 ehh... yeah, if Win10 were as cool as Linux

Geobits

@tac That's not minimal. You have icons on the desktop for heaven's sake :o

Mars Ultor

Would this be better?

tac

@Geobits I haven't actually figured out how to remove them, but I like them, sometimes :P

@MarsUltor that's rad, if you like El Capitan's UI

mınxomaτ

@MarsUltor Uh, that top bar background :/

Vihan

2:21 AM

@MarsUltor what happened to the icons on the top bar??

tac

blame (Xorg's) caching!

Geobits

Since we're sharing and all.

tac

@Geobits Are... are those Geo Bits?

is that your desktop??

Geobits

Yes. Like I said, yours isn't minimal :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

That was soooo hard >_<

I dominated each hacker :D

tac

2:23 AM

@Geobits oh, I didn't see the bar at the top. GNOME 3 is 3 minimal 5 me, I guess

@Geobits from your resolution / ratio, I also think you have 5000 side-by-side monitors, which I don't

Geobits

lol. I have two

tac

@Geobits 4k?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ wat?

Geobits

No, the standard 1080x1920 or whatever.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@tac TF2

tac

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ooh :D

Mars Ultor

2:25 AM

@Vihan That's elementary.

Vihan

if we're all sharing desktops...

Geobits

Wow that's busy :)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Yeah. They were named "Ed" "Edd" and "Eddy" and spammed binds each time they killed someone, and some >:|

tac

@Vihan the up-goat and down-goat icons are named aaaaaaa, I wonder why -- I scream when I vote too

Vihan

@tac s/goat/boat/g

tac

2:27 AM

@Vihan oh, sorry :P

Vihan

I have no idea why it's like that though

Mars Ultor

CoolestVeto

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@CoolestVeto :|

mınxomaτ

CoolestVeto

2:28 AM

disappoint

tac

@mınxomaτ I like!

Geobits

Me too. I'm not a big fan of the bottom dock, but overall not bad.

Vihan

@mınxomaτ +1 for downgoat.svg

Mars Ultor

tac

Does everyone see the same starboard, or is it personally biased to what you've starred?

Geobits

2:30 AM

It's the same, depending on available room.

Vihan

@tac pretty sure everyone sees the same starboard

Mars Ultor

By the way, a added a PR to make vote-off goats gray.

Vihan

@MarsUltor I pulled it but it doesn't seem to work :/

Geobits

@Vihan ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Vihan

@Geobits ಠ_ಠ

tac

@Vihan I suppose you have a keyboard shortcut for that, considering how quickly you replied

Mars Ultor

@Vihan The graying-out?

Geobits

I think a few people do. And to think I went to the effort of scrolling up to copy the most recent lenny :/

Vihan

@tac I have a text replacement setup, e.g. &lenny -> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Dennis

Are we posting desktops?

tac

2:33 AM

@Vihan can you still type &lenny without it replacing?

Vihan

@Dennis yup

tac

@Dennis we were, feel free to join

Vihan

@tac Not really, I had to disable text replacement, type it, and then turn it back on

Dennis

Mars Ultor

:D I have a face IME now.

Geobits

2:34 AM

Those is some yuge icons.

Dennis

Nope.

tac

Oh, really?

also, +1 for Atom

Dennis

Just a customized desktop KDE.

Vihan

-1 for Atom

tac

@Vihan D:

Vihan

2:35 AM

I have atom but it can't indent JavaScript

mınxomaτ

@tac I switched from Windows 10 to eOS after trying a few thing (ubuntu looked bad and arch was too incompatible by default with my crappy laptop). I run arch on my netbook though. I use pacapt to bring my beloved pacman syntax to eOS :)

Vihan

It's great for Python though

Dennis

Stop using JavaScript. It's the only logical solution.

Mars Ultor

@Vihan Get an actual JS indenting package?

Vihan

@mınxomaτ pacman syntax?

tac

2:35 AM

@Vihan it beautifies my JS fine, learn 2 atom

mınxomaτ

@Vihan pacman

Vihan

@tac I enter two line breakes and the the first one becomes no identing

tac

@Vihan maybe it thinks you needed a brace? Iunno, but there are lotsa good formatters

Vihan

@mınxomaτ nevermind, I don't want to read through docs

Mars Ultor

@Vihan Oops, fount out why goats are broken.

Vihan

2:37 AM

@tac also I can't keep a folder open unlike Brackets

> fount

Geobits

One down, x to go :)

Mars Ultor

@Vihan But I can.

CoolestVeto

This just in: @Dennis's latest update to his π(x) answer is just under 1 million times faster than mine.

3

Vihan

@MarsUltor how

CoolestVeto

fuck my life

tac

2:38 AM

you mean like that?

Vihan

Geobits

That is some bright syntax highlighting you have there.

function name in particular o_o

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

jsfiddle.net/Conor_OBrien/4e8cdx81

tac

@Vihan well, you have to open or save a file, or open Atom with a directory arg

@Geobits it's weird, right? but i find it readable as hell

CoolestVeto

@Vihan -1 not crudely sketched and no freehand circles.

2

tac

2:41 AM

^

Vihan

@CoolestVeto I'm sorry, I don't have ms paint

Geobits

no freehand circles is bad enough, but using the text tool??

tac

@Vihan GIMP, Pinta

Vihan

@tac wat

Dennis

@CoolestVeto I bet you could come up with something more competitive than trial division... :P

Vihan

2:41 AM

what's the point of using a desktop app if you have to use the command line

Quill

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that's cool

CoolestVeto

@Vihan ಠ_ಠ download Wine and get it

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Quill Thanks!

CoolestVeto

@Dennis Eh. The thing I was going for next got posted.

tac

@Vihan because I use a shell to run my code, even if I can compile + run from inside atom

Geobits

2:42 AM

Or just gimp it. It's not like every image editor ever has a pencil tool.

Mars Ultor

:( Atom froze my craptop.

CoolestVeto

> craptop

Vihan

@CoolestVeto Itr ied but that takes too long. I spent like 15 minutes making the freehand circle in my meta post

CoolestVeto

Is that like a croptop but shoddily cut?

tac

> craptop, n. something that sits atop crap

CoolestVeto

2:43 AM

@Vihan kek

Vihan

winebottler.kronenberg.org

that wine correct?

tac

@Vihan winehq.org

Geobits

@Vihan That's why you get points for freehand. It's the personal touch and effort that count :P

Dennis

Proposal: Authors of fastest code challenges should post their SSH keys for easy scoring.

9

Geobits

I think using wine for ms paint is not the right direction to go in :/

Quill

2:44 AM

Wine for Paint.NET is good though

Geobits

Only if you're on a mac and have no other options ;)

Dennis

If you're using Paint on Linux, you're doing it wrong.

Mars Ultor

@Quill GIMP > Paint.NET

Dennis

If you're using (Paint on) OS X, you're doing it wrong.

2

hides

Vihan

@Dennis how else am I supposed to make freehand circles

Geobits

2:45 AM

Don't hide! It's harder to star it if you hide.

Vihan

I don't like opening up photoshop everytime I need to circle something

Dennis

@Vihan 1. Install Linux. 2. Use GIMP.

Vihan

@Dennis ಠ_ಠ

mınxomaτ

@Vihan Doesn't Preview have a freehand tool?

Vihan

then I have to dool boot

mınxomaτ

2:46 AM

> dool

Vihan

@mınxomaτ I don't think so

Geobits

@Vihan There are several image editors with high-quality pencil tools that are lighter than photoshop.

Vihan

> high-quality pencil tools

Quill

@Vihan there's browser extensions to do that

Vihan

@Quill link please?

Mars Ultor

2:47 AM

@Vihan There's a SE userscript for that.

Quill

chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/…

Vihan

@MarsUltor I tried that but it doesn't work for me

@Quill I use Safari

mınxomaτ

@Vihan There's your problem.

Mars Ultor

@Vihan The not outdated one?

Vihan

@MarsUltor uh, I think so?

@mınxomaτ ಠ_ಠ

Geobits

2:48 AM

Oh, a mac user. Yea, you should give it up. I thought it was common knowledge that macs are terrible for images and video editing.

mınxomaτ

ಠ_ಠ

Vihan

ಠ______________________________________________________________ಠ

CoolestVeto

He's not wrong.

Quill

@Geobits yeah, macs suck. Macs are better

Geobits

@Quill True, but those are still worse than a brick tied to a keyboard.

Vihan

2:50 AM

@Quill wait what

Quill

@Vihan adobe.com/legal/permissions/trademarks.html

Vihan

um

Q: Freehand Circles Drawing Tool

What is it? A userscript that lets you draw directly onto images on any Stack Exchange site to add freehand circles (or anything else you might like to add). It has been designed to work like StackExchange™ SuperCollider Freehand Circle™ Editor - [Now supported on EVERY StackExchange site!...

Geobits

This reminds me of this conversation from not long ago...

Feb 26 at 4:58, by Geobits

I'm now almost convinced you drew this on a brick and took a picture.

Vihan

@MarsUltor yeah, I tried that

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:51 AM

This is my process of mind when viewing a star: "Hey, look, stars! It must be funny, so I guess I'll star it. hours later wait where did all my stars go!?"

Geobits

Wait, does that mean you star everything on the starboard?

Mars Ultor

@Vihan Wait, why isn't it wokring?

Dennis

Trademarks are not verbs. Yeah, good luck with that.

Vihan

TIL don't fiddle with buttons on your chair or it'll tilt and you'll fall off...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Geobits Usually, but I'm doing better.
