@UnrelatedString elaborate :3c

Just like

I don't even know how to describe the feeling

I guess it's like 30% confusion

Just whenever someone mentions wearing hoodies or otherwise treats them like this kind of default plain clothing option

something something dysphoria hoodie

See that's the REALLY confusing thing about it

Most clothing I've disliked or felt weird about, in retrospect, obviously just dysphoria

Like I was not a fan of shorts for a couple years before I eventually got used to them

Jeans, cargo pants, too boxy

But hoodies are like THE thing

that DOESN'T have that problem

apparently

I don't really understand what the problem is :p

maybe I'm just dumb

Me neither

I can't even decide whether I actually dislike hoodies or I just feel like I'm supposed to even though I've always been weird for it

Like is it just one of those momentum things or is there a deeper association

Simple solution: live somewhere where it's never cold enough to consistently wear one

That's another confounding factor :P

It's like

Genuinely never good weather for non-zippered hoodies here

Cold enough that you need actual winter wear for like 2 months and even then you NEED to be able to take it off because it will be hot inside

therefore, I believe hoodies are but a scam

Real

cool (in the social sense) af, but you get robbed of any chance to utilise them

e.g. I only get like a month's worth of good enough temperatures to even consider my Amazon Alexa hoodie

Your what

Oh wait I feel like you have mentioned this before

I have :p

Ahahahahaha that is some amazing history to have to it

to save others from transcript diving, back in like 2018 I made an amazon alexa skill for fun and because I was doing a STEM project for school where I was going to have it so that you could control Christmas tree lights with Alexa (spoiler, for some strange reason, I couldn't get the school skill to work in time for submission, but my toy one worked)

anyhow, amazon was still doing a promotion thing at the time where if you made a skill for the first time you got free stuff

I figured I'd opt-in to the free stuff and got the hoodie

@UnrelatedString apparently 5 times before

Huge

I have a raspberry pi hoodie I think

Was that also from a promotion/contest/etc. or did you just actually buy it

bought it

Nice

speaking of free stuff from contents, I just remembered my stackoverflow watch exists lol

lmaooooo

battery died like 2 years ago I think

so I set the hands to always be at 4:20

F

it's fine, I haven't worn it since 2021

which is when I upgraded to a smartwatch

@lyxal why am i not surprised

because it's me we're talking about

I love Jira (not as much as I love CORS but still)

editing a ticket description only to realise I didn't click the description box and I'm instead sending keyboard shortcuts and accidentally assigning myself to tickets is good fun

@UnrelatedString because they're larger/looser and so you can't see the features about yourself you don't like?

And that makes so much sense too

Especially if you have the hood up and kind of obscure your face

They're great even if you don't have dysphoria or something

^

@Bbrk24 yea

Like I'm cis and I'm fairly comfortable with how I look now but it just feels more protected than a plain sweater

@UnrelatedString in high school I would wear just a hoodie with no shirt underneath, and that was fine for me temperature-wise

^^^

Interesting

@emanresuA Are you echoing Ginger's "yea" or am I misinterpreting?

For some reason I feel like that would have gotten itchy if I'd tried it? But that stinks of rationalization

^^

^

happy chat face

@UnrelatedString Depends on the material

@user yea

There are different hoodie materials???

Are they not all just some generic thick cotton

Wow

let me go check my closet, I still have most of them

Neat

So you actually had multiple... I guess that does make more sense than washing the same one repeatedly after wearing it without a shirt LMAO

A cooler alternative to hoodies is space suits

They stay cool inside always and they hide most of you too

Ahhh, makes sense

I also had one that felt way too thin/baggy and it was 52% cotton / 48% polyester

so the thickness seems to matter more than the material itself

...Also did not know they came in different thicknesses

That does seem like it would matter :P

the thinner ones sag way too much when you put anything in the pocket so I don't like them as much

Yeah the unipocket seems so weird

I do not trust the unipocket with things

@user For the record I've never had a normal sweater either

Get yourself a spacesuit then

I just forget those exist more often than not

Maybe something to do with knight's tours

...So the first piece of clothing I've ever actually tried buying just got forwarded to FLORIDA

Sent a form to USPS and hopefully that's going to get resolved somehow

what

just for a frame of reference, what part of the country do you live in?

American Samoa

Still East Coast, just not Florida

Moved recently and the previous residents probably moved there to retire or something

So there was a mix up with change of address forms/forwarding orders, probably

@Bbrk24 ...Come to think of it, my face is definitely the worst thing on me by far and I have definitely done my fair share of retreating into hoods when I have had the chance

I think part of my hoodie antipathy comes from middle school dress codes or something? Where you literally just weren't allowed to put the hood up

So I thought "what the hell is the point of having a hood"

And I think at that point I was also convinced that hoodless sweaters were too feminine for me to be allowed to wear or something like that LMAO

But anyways having masks for a couple years after the pandemic was pretty nice

And it was extra nice having these weird neck gaiters instead of normal masks because my dad was convinced normal face masks would cause dangerously low blood oxygen LMAO

But yeah wow I never realized how much I miss being able to disappear into hoods when it isn't winter and/or raining

all east coast close enough

@RubenVerg I am planning to implement an account system actually and might consider that.

And I am going to fix the site now.

@RubenVerg I have an idea.

We have a fixed end.

And then each time you reach it you get an upgrade.

Through which you can progress faster

And so on.

So.

One question, cannot you out any Pythonic expression inside {{ }} ?

So then why does {{ f'{points:,}' }} not work?

Maybe it's because we have another pair of {} inside {{ }}.

Okay found alternative route.

Apparently Ninja doesn't support f-strings.

Okay should work.

Here we go...

Wait no.

But it isn't a new errq.

Okay I just typed.

Typoed.

Wow typoing typo.

IT WORKS.

thaah.pythonanywhere.com.

Well ignore the trailing decimal places

But still!

is it wrong if for i in {1..5,727} curl to get the objective in like, 30 seconds?

What.

Oh I don't restrict autoclickers.

Because even those have a speed limit.

Even if it's unimaginably huge.

mh

might want to check your milestone checking code

Uhhh.

It just exploded to 400m.

is it that bad of a thing?

And next time will to 160,000m.

Which is 160b.

i meantt more that the count was at 20k and it said next milestone at 20k with 0 remaining

@Themoonisacheese yes.

@Themoonisacheese oh I can change the order of the code to fix that.

But it should go more slowly.

fair enough

(i'll stop now before the sysadmins find me for sending 5k requests per minute)

Alright

I am going to tweak the code.

So it starts from 2^15 and increases the power each time.

So we get a more reasonable rate.

@Themoonisacheese I wasn't talking about the requests though it does help to slow them down.

I got over 200k hits YESTERDAY.

The first paid tier is expected to handle only 100K HITS.

And I am on FREE.

Though the game is lightweight.

The code fits in like 260KB.

This is what autoclickers help with.

i meant the sysadmins from work

i'm doing all this from a VM in our farm lol

Oh.

OHHH.

lol

5k r/m is nothing in the grand scheme of things but it just takes one of them to glance at a network log and see that i'm not really a good model emplyee

Okay tweaked the milestones code.

So it goes to powers of 2 now.

that's considerably more reasonable

But yeah upgrades definitely are needed.

Or I can do some beautiful reactivity to lower the actual requests.

though without additional mechanics it will eventually become impossible

Is it supposed to go up with each point?

@lyxal wdym?

LOLOLOL

Oh.

No.

Well every time I click make point, the milestone goes up

Wait.

Wait.

i said i'd stop but i wanna see how high i can get it

Oh.

500 :(

Wait I forgot that I store the milestone as a power of 2 (eg. 15 for 2^15).

idea: stop counting points and see how fast we can get to 500 :V

Ah fixed.

That is really off-topic now I think about it.

Anyways.

I will implement the timer we were talking about.

Or that might be too hard actually.

Maybe accounts come first.

Have to learn flask-login.

Accounts are very complex, I'd recommend just storing data in session

"in session"?

Isn't that what accounts do anyways?

session is a cookie that gets set to a random number, and when a client sends you that cookie, you load the data associated with it (all of this is largely automated nowadays)

you can just set the cookie when the client doesn't have one, and that way an "account" (really just an object holding arbitrary data about a client) is created for every visitor

That's just accounts but by IP address, right?

But I need to uniquely identify players.

So I need to prompt each one to provide a username.

no, because the user agent is responsible for sending you back that cookie with every request

The user agent contains the IP address.

(note that this is all internals, the requests package should have all you need)

And I mean,

1) the user agent string does not contain an IP adress

basically the fact that I need some sort of username,

to display publicly.

2) the user agent is not the user agent string

also note that this is how logins work in the first place, they just wait until you have authenticated to create a session

I see.

So basically like accounts but without passswords or emails and auto-login everytime you visit?

(by default)

yes, however: if you lose your cookie (cleared cache, changed browsers, you name it), you lose your account, forever

That sucks.

does it matter?

it's a clicker game

We need another method of authentication.

@Themoonisacheese yes.

could always implement oauth2

Flask-login looks like the standard.

For this.

But okay.

Actually.

@192927376337929292283737373773 No, by cookies

Right

It's the same as logging in except no usernames/passwords or creating accounts. It will just remember the browser

That sounds really weak.

it's pretty okay security wise

It's more secure than proper accounts

Really?

Which also use cookies but then have a additional way of logging in

You can lose it just by clearing your cookies.

session stealing is also a thing with actual accounts, but now you don't have credentials that can get stolen

Most people rarely clear there cookies

^

Okay.

Shifting browsers?

Many idle games just suggest you back up your cookies and don't offer accounts

Your computer being corrupted?

cookie clicker just game you a b64-encoded object that was your save file

That works.

But again this game is global.

if you didn't save it somewhere and lost your cookies, bad luck

You can offer an option of copying your session ID to paste on a different PC

And uses a database.

Okay.

I have an idea.

@mousetail this implies flask allows them to set a session ID

You can always set it in JS

fair enough

From their info.

And they can supply that hash to confirm their identity.

What info do you even have on users?

Seems hard to get a unique hash

Well we can generate it from their user agent or something.

Those are hardly unique

user agents are very much not unique

LIke 50% of users probably have latest chrome on windows

IP addresses are.

no

they are not

Many people can share an IP, and a single users IP will change a lot

Just generate a random code and offer users the option to copy it

In the rare case they need to switch browsers
