The Nineteenth Byte

but yeah like 1 or 2

I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I'm leaving you.

Those comics are xkcd? I have seen those everywhere, but only now learn that xkcd is what they are called...

El'endia Starman

@Zizouz212 One of my favorites. :D

12:17 AM

@R.Kap yeah.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I can think of 3 or 4 (Why you ask? I click random. Not that I look for those or anything...)

@Zizouz212 MacBook-Pro:~ rikerw$ xkcd

@R.Kap sigh

opens xkcd

@epicTCK 10/10 very convincing

12:18 AM

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ sometimes yeah

eh

not much though

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yeah thats an alias for open xkcd.com in ur bashrc profile.

Okay, found the website: xkcd.com/1672

I should do that though

@epicTCK yes, I know.

I put it there.

12:20 AM

check this out: xkcd.com/1416

and in .bash_profile not bashrc

never seen that

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ WHATEVER

There's nothing quite like debugging code for 15 minutes and realizing that the problem was caused by FORGETTING THE GODDAMNED PUBLIC STATIC VOID MAIN(STRING[] MOTHERF*CKING ARGS) { }

I don't use *nix much because I own a [CENSORED]

@epicTCK Cursor hovering over offensive

12:21 AM

^

@Zizouz212 mac or linux?

Mac :)

:DDDDDDD

Zach, me, Downgoat, VTC, A Nerd - I, Alex, and sometimes epicTCK are the only other mac users IIRC.

Typing on this on a mac

so I'm a mac user

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Hello. I'm a Mac. And not a PC.

but I'm not root because this is my moms mac

12:23 AM

@ANerd-I cool

Buy I know my dads password on his mac.... so I enabled sudo and added my account to it. But he's still admin.

do you mind me changing the scroll setting off natural scroll?

@epicTCK you can't set admin rights?

@epicTCK That comic is awesome...

ikr

@R.Kap What comic is?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ If you have a real mouse

k thnx VV

12:24 AM

@epicTCK xkcd.com/1416

@epicTCK i do

@QPaysTaxes ...

You read my mind...

I will, from now on, reply to other people by editing my previous message. hehehe.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ what happened to checkboxes

@Downgoat stuf

12:26 AM

Dang...and I didn't even know about their webiste

is WIP

Life is too short for man pages, but occasionally much too short without them.

ikr

@Downgoat how link to images in gh pages css

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ background-image: url(image)

in css

not html

but the link style?

what what do you mean link image with css

/images/empty_check.png doesn't work, ./images/empty_check.png, images/empty_check.png doesn't work.

@Downgoat yeah, but ^?

12:30 AM

is it wrapped in url()?

yeah

ARGh

D: you're using inline CSS?

Can you not make a custom .htaccess on Github Pages?

no

in a <style> tag.

@quartata explain?

@quartata no

12:31 AM

.htaccess

A .htaccess (hypertext access) file is a directory-level configuration file supported by several web servers, used for configuration of site-access issues, such as URL redirection, URL shortening, Access-security control (for different webpages and files), and more. A site could have more than one .htaccess file, and the files are placed inside the web tree (i.e. inside directories and their sub-directories), and hence their other name distributed configuration files. .htaccess files acts as a subset of the server's global configuration file (like httpd.conf) for the directory that they are in...

@Downgoat ok

What should I do instead for redirects?

I know there's something called Jekyll but I have no idea how it works

use a html meta tag redirect

That changes the URL in the address bar though right?

I give up.

Checkboxes are back to the ugly normal one.

brb in 15 min

Also does the user github.io have to be <username>.github.io?

@quartata <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=<url to redirect to>">

12:34 AM

Can you name the repo something else?

that spam flag

Oh wait, I thought you were saying yes to "can you name the repo something else"

how does this work?

imgur.com/gallery/dvnkdud

How long before this becomes a Facebook platform app? codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/78736/…

2187 years

hi btw

I gave a imugur link and now everyone is browsing imugur

To answer my own question, the imgur.com/gallery/dvnkdud works because graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/66561/…

12:43 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ what does this do?

@Downgoat recursive acronym. try it

^ what fruit do people see here?

Pear

-1 no avocad

and I see an apple with a pear behind it

This is going to be a fad. I predict it.

12:47 AM

@PhiNotPi an apple

@QPaysTaxes It shouldn't

@PhiNotPi Apple and Pear

@PhiNotPi Provide the imagur link and it will work better

on imugur

here the background doesn't change

@PhiNotPi But not an avocad so >:(

@epicTCK It's not the same trick.

12:48 AM

@PhiNotPi Really? oh sorry then

@QPaysTaxes The acronym because ToT not ToS...

WOAH

This involves different browsers interpreting the .png standard differently.

scroll up and down and it changes

wut

@QPaysTaxes ;)

12:48 AM

The explanation is here: superuser.com/questions/579216/…

You have broken my browser

Mine is half way between each I have apple safari

I still see both and I'm on Safari wth

Yeah try dragging it around

It's a pear on my laptop but an apple on my phone. Both Chrome.

@epicTCK That works, though I can still see the pear (albeit much more faintly)

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Plus one I haven't read it yet but this really annoys me

:D

El'endia Starman

@PhiNotPi Pear.

also when I highlight the first sentence ab c and d are red. did you apply wizardry or is this my side?

@El'endiaStarman Avocad

Doorknob

	if(typeof value === "undefined")

Why not just... if value === undefined?

12:57 AM

ಠ_ಠ

it's not how you do it

Doorknob

Why not?

@Doorknob you can use that but you shoudn't

typeof Doorknob = "alex"

because you can assign undefined to something else

Just finished a programming assignment that my teacher wants us to turn in in the form of Word documents. And not in the form of, you know, GitHub repos.
ಠ_ಠ

12:59 AM

typeof a === "undefined" doesn't error if a is undefined, but a === undefined throws a reference error

@ANerd-I WHAT?

(outside of functions)

Like not even .js or .c or whatever the proper file is

@Downgoat you really can't
