« first day (1561 days earlier)      last day (3471 days later) » 

4:11 AM
@Ktash omg
I'm trying to write.
but I keep getting distracted
 
@spugsley I have something for that
 
@Ktash oooo neat
 
I usually tone down the cafe a bit, because I love listening to the rain. But it has been helpful
Plus, thunder
 
user15026
rainymood.com is also good
 
@Ktash I listened to the rain for few minutes and it seems extremely distracting
for productivity I usually sit with headphones on, in silence
then again, I'm like, never productive, so what do I know...
 
4:15 AM
@Chippies Silence is deadly for my productivity. So are voices, noises, people, windows, squirrels, and everything else in the world.
 
@Ktash well, there's a pretty noisy fridge in the kitchen, so it's not entirely silent

Q: Why doesn't the Grinder work?

AlanI'm in Concordia and have completed the quest from Springs to get the Grinder operational, however when I came back later to actually use the Grinder, it won't accept my items. I placed three guns in it, all of the same type -- assault rifles in this case, however neither the Grind nor the Moons...

 
I find the pressure from headphones helps me
if I take my headphones off, I can't concentrate whatsoever
I can hear too much without headphones
I can hear the AIR
I actually have to cover my ear with blanket when I sleep
or else it bothers me
 
@Chippies omg so funny, I'm doing that right now
nothing but muffled silence. Does that even make sense? Muffled silence?
 
Yes
 
4:18 AM
@spugsley wouldn't it be muffled ambient noise?
or maybe just muffled ambience
 
@Chippies I like 'muffled silence' better
I wanna write that in my apocolypse story
it's going down in the idea binder
someone who keeps their headphones on their ears while they're traveling because the silence is too silent
omg
 
@spugsley In
 
it all usually starts with me listening to music with headphones on, then I turn some video on youtube on, then the video ends and I am in silence
 
....I'm a motherfucking bullshitting word genius sometimes
 
user15026
@spugsley ooh, I like that
 
4:19 AM
@AshleyNunn OMG YAY SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT
 
user15026
I cant handle silence
 
"The kind of silence that has its own soundtrack"
 
user15026
I would have to do something like that
 
:O
@AshleyNunn me too I think
 
but... muffled silence is more silent, no?
 
4:20 AM
@Chippies shhhhh :p
 
woman logic, I see :P
 
I get it.
 
@Unionhawk yes, GnomeHawk, we know you do
 
ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ
 
that is an awesome name btw, someone should switch to it
 
4:22 AM
no
this is not a thing that should happen
 
@Unionhawk but... you will annoy a lot of people if you do! Isn't that what you're after?
 
I like annoying people who complain about things that are not annoying being annoying. Name changes are actually annoying.
 
@Unionhawk doesn't annoy me. I like him :3
 
it's a tiny'ish link with a hawk
 
What link is that? SS?
No, wait
I should know this
TP
ah, that makes more sense
 
4:26 AM
@Chippies "huh, those are some sharp talons. Here, land on my unprotected arm!"
 
I wouldn't know, I'm assuming that's fan art
 
It's TP link
 
@TrentHawkins oh c'mon, that's Link, he can take it
 
Pre-hero's clothes
 
@Unionhawk dat lore knowledge
 
4:27 AM
 
@Unionhawk that creature was not blessed y evolution
those horns are useless and probably even dangerous for the creature itself
 
It's a Zelda game. What do you want.
 
@Chippies but he makes a great ornament for a giant Christmas tree
 
@Unionhawk I want to talk about more stuff so I don't have to think about the productive things I could be doing instead
@TrentHawkins I can just imagine a giant Christmas tree with a bunch of those heads hanging
it's like a scene from a messed up fantasy thriller
"fantasy thriller" sounds really odd, I don't think that ever happens...
 
Oh man, AGDQ finale is OOT 100%
That's going to be awesome
 
4:38 AM
Oh, I'm having way too much fun writing in funny "your cart is empty" messages
 
user15026
@Ktash sounds fun :D
 
> One thing to rule them all. One click to find them. One cart to store them all. And in the end you buy them
6
> If I had a nickel for every item in your cart, I'd be pretty broke
 
what's a good program to use to instantly see changes in an html file? As in, you add a line or something and it shows up automatically, without having to refresh a page in a browser or something?
I'm thinking of something like codecademy has for its lessons
 
@Chippies I don't know a lot, but I know Adobe Edge Code has that
 
@Ktash I'm guessing that's not free, is it?
 
4:41 AM
No, it's free
 
@Ktash well, that should do then :)
 
Runs off of Brackets, which is an open source editor Adobe makes. Built in HTML and JS
> Like unicorns and mermaids, items in your cart don't exist. Try to make them more like the platypus: weird, but real
 
my web coding knowledge is pretty non-existant, but that seems to be the cool thing to do nowadays, so I want to learn
@Ktash does it support JS too?
 
@Chippies Yeah. It supports HTML, JS, and CSS, and has some nice tools built in to help with coding
 
@Ktash awesome
 
4:43 AM
Things like a color picker, or a file dialog when inserting images
 
time to register my first legit Adobe ID...

Q: Something like SWAT 4?

ErraticFoxIs there any mutiplayer game just like SWAT 4? I really like the tactics used while facing NPCs from what I've watched. I don't like games like this type and facing real players, feels too competitive and Rainbow Six (missions) are too long. The missions I've seen are pretty small - medium and al...

 
oh damn, Adobe CC found my cracked Photoshop 5 :O
 
hahahaha
 
it doesn't say that it's cracked or anything, so, not sure if I should care about that or not, lol
just tells me I should update it
 
4:53 AM
Depends on how the crack works, but it may have broken the crack
Or the crack may cause CC to break
Or both
Or neither. But I can assure you from experience if you call Adobe support for this, they will laugh
 
@Ktash I wouldn't be using cracked software if I cared for support :P
well, I'll find out if anything happened the next time I decide to use PS (which might not be in a long time)
 
We had a very large number of customers who were crashing all the time and we couldn't ever figure out why. One day we found out on accident someone had an older crack for CS5 on their machine, and that was the cause of the bug. Once we started telling customers that their issue was that the older cracked photoshop was causing them to crash, they usually stopped complaining
 
user15026
Woo, time for some sleep :D
 
@Ktash lol
that's just... horrible
 
user15026
(day one of two jobs went okay, but I suspect I will feel it more tomorrow)
 
4:56 AM
It was great how fast people disappeared after they were called out on that lol
 
I use cracked software, but I would never bother the developer with the issues, that's just... rude? That's probably not the best word to describe it :P
 
@AshleyNunn Day 2 is usually the worst. But so close to being done and onto the better one! :D
@Chippies Heh, it was really funny. Best part was it was causing their legit purchased app to crash because of how the crack worked
 
@Ktash lmao
 
I've said this before, but there was an internal app at Adobe that was a map of the world and whenever someone registered a suspected cracked version of Adobe software, it would put a little dot on the map
You could just sit there and watch all the piracy going on
 
@Ktash I remember you saying that :P
 
4:59 AM
I'm sure that would just become a sea of dots. Like, entire continents covered.
 
@Unionhawk China and Russia just turned red after a little while
 
to be fair, most of the cracked Adobe software users (photoshop specifically) don't need it and only use it very rarely
 
But really this is all to say that while Adobe definitely cares about piracy and wants it to stop, they definitely know it is a thing
CC is really nice, though
 
I kinda feel like if there was no way to pirate photoshop, people would just find alternatives, because most people don't need most of the functions it offers
 
Well, not the actual app. That's terrible. But the fact that I can just download all the Adobe apps
 
5:01 AM
like the way I use it - there are a ton of free software that could do all the stuff I need
 
@Ktash So, think steam for adobe products except poorly designed?
 
@Chippies Meh. PS is #1 for a reason. I haven't found anything that offers what I need it for and is at all usable, but maybe that's just me.
 
@Ktash there's only a subscription model for CC now, right? There's no way to actually buy a single piece of software?
 
@Unionhawk Yes. Basically
 
@Ktash the thing is, PS has it all in one package and it all works nicely
I could get 5 different pieces of software that does all those things, but separately
 
5:03 AM
@Chippies You can subscribe to individual pieces of software. Like PS + LR is, I think, $10 or something
 
@Ktash I guess that's not a bad price compared to 500$ or whatever the price for PS was before
assuming you actually need those programs
 
@Chippies Yeah, CC actually ends up being fairly cheap for what you get
 
Wait... how is $19.99 versus $29.99 a "60% discount for students"?
 
I look at it as: if you aren't making enough money on the product to be able to afford $10 a month, you probably don't need it
 
@Unionhawk 60%, discount for students
 
5:05 AM
@Unionhawk Yearly, maybe? I don't know where you're seeing that
 
@Ktash in my situation it would probably be 10$ per launch :P
 
$10 is really only slightly more than Netflix
 
I personally don't like subscriptions, but it does sound like a good deal if you actually want it to stay up to date
 
Ah, wait, it's normally $50
Got it
 
The full thing? Yeah, it is for all of CC
For the yearly rate, at least
@Chippies Yeah, I'm not sold on it. But I have actually liked having all the apps to download whenever I want
I downloaded Audition the other day just to toy around with it
And I've download Premiere and a few others too just to play. It actually ends up being fairly nice
 
5:08 AM
it does seem nice, especially if you want all of the programs
 
Premiere elements is, from what I understand, not a thing that should be used for anything other than like, editing home movies, or something. (I've not used anything else, so I don't know)
 
I have used Premiere, but I've had a lot of codec issues with importing
 
Yeah, it depends
I remember having a lot of issues with GoPro video
Because of codec issues
 
Premiere is a beast. And I have no idea how to even do anything in AE
 
I downloaded Sony Vegas and it imported same video files just fine
 
5:11 AM
I remember not being able to do anything at all with the video I had until I figured out the codec thing
 
I guess Premiere is great if you're like, really good with it and all, but for someone who doesn't need half the functions, there are easier and cheaper video editors
 
Yeah, for pros it is fantastic. But it is pro software. Like most Adobe software
That was always really fun to explain to people
Everyone always said "Oh, I'd like photoshop. I have some family photos I'd love to touch up and I've always wanted to learn how"
 
We have Photoshop Elements, but even that for what we use it for, is too much stuff
 
is Photoshop Elements free?
 
No
 
5:14 AM
well then...
 
Yeah, PS does a lot of crazy stuff. I'm still baffled by deblur, even though it isn't perfect
Like, this demo is still just mind blowing
 
@Ktash Omg, it's Dwight from The Office!
 
@Chippies Yeah. He is sort of a jerk to the presenters. One of my coworkers did one and he basically just heckles and annoys them
Which is also what he is supposed to do
 
@Ktash so his real life persona matches his Office character?
 
@Chippies I actually heard he is an alright person. He is from Seattle and comes around here once and a while. But I think he was bringing his character with him.
 
5:21 AM
@Ktash Probably so
 
Image processing is a lot more neat than I gave it credit for in the matlab class I took that focused on image processing
 
@Ktash so, is that implemented yet?
 
gets to the part of the video where the magic suddenly happens Holy fuck what
 
@Chippies Yes. Deblur is in PS CC
 
What
 
5:27 AM
they should put the deblur in some more family oriented package
I can see it being used by everyone with a shitty camera
and those who pay for PS and make money with it probably have good cameras with much less/no blur :P
 
@Chippies One of the new things they are trying with the cloud stuff is cloud computing and opening up an API so that not only Adobe can do this stuff, but others can too
 
That is a feature that would actually be useful in elements yeah. I'm not sure that would happen since I'm sure developing that cost a fortune and a half.
 
Everyone is waiting for cloud shake reduction so you could do it on your phone right when you took the picture
 
That would be fancy
 
That's the actual feature in PS
 
5:32 AM
Like I said, image processing is insane
 
This is the reason PS is #1 at what it does. A select what's in focus option
 
Damn this whole field is infinitely cooler when it isn't in the context of "military contractor satellites data recovery I'm already bored"
 
Hahaha, yeah, image processing is awesome
But usually only the results. The actual work and math, and all that is really complex and a pain
 
True
 
5:38 AM
I built a reverse image search engine once, and that was interesting. But that was already starting to border on over my head things
@Chippies No, but it can rotate and warp flat pictures in 3D
 
6:08 AM
@Ktash You haven't tried content aware fill? That thing is awesome
 
Oh, I have. But I haven't done it with my panoramas like that
 
Ah

Q: How do I secure my trade routes?

NoneOfYourBusinessI am currently playing the trader campaigns, but I am not quite sure how automatic battle works. I lose a lot of ships and men to pirates. How do I secure my trade routes properly? What are the ships to choose for battle?

 
7:01 AM
Morning.
 
> 3D Object Manipulation in a Single Photograph using Stock 3D Models
(I was looking for this video in my youtube history really far back)
youtube needs a history search
 
@Arperum Morning
 
@Arperum \o
@Chippies I get to level 100 in 10m now, ascend around level 200-250 depending, and usually snag 60-120 souls :)
Not too bad for one days progress :)
 
@James seems nice :) That's what you get when you don't try to constantly push for max level :P
I usually do 2-3 quick ascensions and then work towards a new highest level
 
@Chippies When its a video its not a photograph any more, its just the source reference material.
@Chippies I never push for max level :)
I always go to 'Uh, Im bored lets start again' :D
... Actually I am not even sure what my highest level is right now.. I think its 300something
 
7:14 AM
@James it can be applied to a photograph, it's just animated to show the capabilities of the software
 
309 :D
 
It's a horrible morning. Road closed for some reason (I assume roadworks or some other reason of bullshit). The road I normally take has a bit of a traffic jam on it, that part was closed, and led to some other road that *always* has a traffic jam. SO double traffic jam. Then the next part that very irregularly hasd a little bit of traffic jam, now was just stuffed with cars like there was no tomorrow. Then some bit further, two morons who cut each other of (one who was in his right , one who was wrong) started shouting at each other through their window while also blocking the road doing s
 
there's a more in-depth video about it as well, that's just a quick preview of what can be done with it
@Arperum if I didn't know better, I'd think you live in America
 
@Chippies Works some really weird hours then.. and very odd to have traffic jams even in LA at this hour :D
 
It probably doesn't help that the trains had a partial strike two days ago and three days ago and yesterday a train broke down at a point where a shitton of trains have to pass. So everything went to hell.
ANd apparently this morning there are also some issues with trains being removed from the schedule.
 
7:17 AM
@James shush you and your logic :P
time is irrelevant, this is internet!
 
@James I can't :( I'm at a client today. And my boss doesn't like weird hous himself. But getting to our office is generally never an issue. This clients office is a bit worse.

Birds

Proposed Q&A site for bird lovers, birdwatchers, bird biology, etc.

Currently in definition.

 
@Arperum Wasnt a suggestion to do so. was just saying if you were in America you worked some weird hours :D
Anywho
Hope your day goes better Arperum
G'Night all
 
@James night
 
Good night @James
 
7:23 AM
@Chippies I should do that too.
 
@Arperum yeah, if you leave an autoclicker, skill macro is good to have as well
I never bothered with it before, because I just idled and left the clicker on level up button
now if only I could have it click on level up button, the monster AND turn progression mode a minute after it turns into farm mode... :P I'd be all set!
 
@Chippies I have a G mouse/keyboard too, so making that macro shouldnt be difficult at all.
 
@Arperum the macro I made is unnecessarily complicated, which I realized much later today
I have the macro do 1+2, wait for 2.5min, 1+2, wait, 1+2+3+4, wait, etc
after thinking a bit, I realized that just doing 123457869 every 2.5 min would do the same thing
 
@Chippies You could make separate macro's for the dark ritual and the other ones. So as to not mess them together.
 
@Arperum eh, I want them on a single button on my mouse
also, single macro is easier to sync if I want 89 in non-DR macro as well
 
7:32 AM
@Chippies I would probably add it to some of the G keys on my keyboard. I have 18 of these things, and three sets of commands to give to them.
 
@Arperum just make sure you turn the macro off when you want to use the computer :P
 
@James By now I'm at the point of I got 1k souls stored, not going under that ever again.
@Chippies WHat, random keypresses are just weird :p
 
@Arperum I went as low as 300 souls today
 
they don't cause active harm most of the time.
 
... and then I ascended ;)
I was getting more souls on a run than I had, so I spent 'a bit'
 
7:35 AM
@Chippies Right before ascending doesn't count. If that did, I went to 9 souls yesterday. i used up all 700 I had, then ascended for 1k+
Having lvl 1 treebeast do 20k damage is quite the moment too.
And buying him for 25 gold instead of the usual 50.
 
@Arperum ever since I switched to scientific, all the numbers became even more arbitrary to me than they used to be
my samurai is doing 1.18e87 dps now
 
@Chippies it was 20000 damage :p
I'm also using scientific myself.
@Chippies That's more then I ever did.
Like a lot more.
 
I haven't seen my damage being shown in anything that doesn't have the funky "e"
I should check what lv1 treebeast with no gilds does for me tomorrow when I ascend
 
@Chippies I only have 1k souls. from five or more treebeast, I also have the funky "e"
 
and by tomorrow I mean later today, since it's 5am...
 
7:42 AM
@Chippies Bah, just live EU hours :)
 
@Arperum when I lived in EU, I lived by American hours, now I'm in Canada and I don't even know anymore...
 
@Chippies You just like living at night.
 
@Arperum I do, and not in the "party all night" kind of way, lol
 
@Chippies In a game all night way?
 
actually, whenever I go to sleep before midnight, I sleep 12+ hours and I wake up tired
the night before last I went to sleep at 10am, woke up at 2pm and felt very refreshed
@Arperum not necessarily game, although that is what I usually end up doing
 
7:45 AM
@Chippies I know what you mean, I like to do the same, although I have to wake up at stupid hjours for work.
 
my internal clock is really weird
@Arperum I can't function well before noon'ish, I always feel like a zombie before then
I become the most productive past midnight
 
@Chippies Work doesn't care. I need some music to bring me to a "doesn't like a zombie with a deathglare anymore" point.
 
in my first years of tech school, I went to early lessons and I'd be passing out and not learn anything, in the later years I just stopped going to lessons before 10am, lol
too bad you can't skip first hours of work :P
 
In the first hour of work, you pretty much get nothing done. I like to call it, the wake-up hour.
I usually get coffee around 9 and after that, I'm pretty much ready to work for real.
 
8:11 AM
@5pike At what hour do you start working?
 
@Arperum It starts at 8. Have to drive there, which takes ~20 minutes.
 
@5pike Gah. If I work at our office I get up at 8, if I'm at this client where I'm now I have to get up at 7 though.
 
8:27 AM
are there any requirements for js/jQuery to work other than compatible browser?
 
Belgian news about the canadian shooting is being stupid. They are trying to quote "we don't let people intimidate us". they get to "we don't let people imitate us"
 
Erm
is "intimideren" really imitate?
 
@5pike imiteren in link
 
8:31 AM
About the linked video: i don't like it when politicians go all "we pray for X" or "May god be with us".It shows issues with separation of church and state.
 
as well as in title
 
@5pike No, intimideren is intimidate, imiteren is imitate.
 
@Chippies Oh, now i see it
 
also, I'm getting video error
 
Only looked at the article, and not the title.
 
8:32 AM
@Chippies Also in video title, so two separate news entities made the same error.
 
The proof-reader needs to be slapped
 
because VTm and HLN are separate news things AFAIK.
 
@Arperum though to be fair, not a lot of countries have that
Canada doesn't I believe
 
@5pike The proof reader is probably dead from previous slappings.
 
@5pike I don't know if titles are proofread, I know they're commonly made by the editor
 
8:34 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Doesn't mean I have to like it. I vehemently dislike it when they are not separate.
 
@Arperum did you forget a not? =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden Oh, they've made all kinds of errors, and not only in titles...
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well, whoever is responsible, needs a mighty slap.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yes I did.
 
@Arperum I figured as much, and yes, separation of church is a good thing
 
8:43 AM
aaaaaaaa

Q: What programming language was Spelunky HD written in?

ahuff44I know the original Spelunky was written in the Game Maker language. (developed by YoyoGames, with the .gmk file extension)

 
@Lazers That'd be off-topic wouldn't it?
 
@Arperum I dunno, I answered it because I happened to know it
 
@KevinvanderVelden Xbox things you say...
sounds super specific.
 
@Arperum yes, non specified xbox things
Whether this is matchmaking, drm, controllers, raw network, configuring the display, configuring hardware settings is not known
 
9:00 AM
@badp have you won yet?
 
@fredley no.
 
@badp can you even win?
Or completely finish it?
 
@5pike no.
 
I see.
 
You could conceivably overflow the float the numbers are stored in
That could count as winning
 
9:02 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, like the kill-screen in pacman.
 
Pretty much yeah
 
 
@KevinvanderVelden I think it accounts for that. I don't think 1e87 fits in a float.
where the 1 has a ridiculous amount of insignificant numbers.
 
@Arperum It does in js
in JS the highest float is 1e+308 I think
 
9:03 AM
@Arperum You could easily go up to 1e280 without problem
At 1e300 things start to get hairy
I'd gotten to 1e76 in world 5
 
It will vary from browser to browser
 
@fredley This is a flashgame though.
 
@Arperum Save is JSON
 
@Arperum Yeah, still probably a 64 bit float, i.e. 1e308 or something
 
@fredley Still has to be handled by flash.
@KevinvanderVelden hmmm, now I'm curious.
 
9:05 AM
@fredley that's arbitrary size numbers given that they're stored in an ascii string
 
Now I have to play until I reach said point. You are all horrible people.
 
@KevinvanderVelden So AS3 uses double precision floats
 
@fredley yeah, I'm assuming that. I'm just saying that saving it in JSON doesn't limit the precision =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden Depends on the encoder I guess.
 
@fredley yeah, the encoder and decoder put upper limits on the numerical precision in a JSON stored number (barring filesize concerns). Because it's just a arbitrary length string, you can go on forever adding more digits
@Arperum you might not be able to reach that point, the precision there might be smaller than the change (i.e., you increment 1.0e5 by 10, and then you store 1.0e5 because there aren't enough significant digits)
 
9:18 AM

Q: Sub-surface Cheat/Glitch in Watch_Dogs?

Lars EbertSo I was just starting a tailing session and tried to locate the target. But my direction indicator indicated him to be about 100 meters below the surface at a poker game, the one in the shed in the suburbs. I left the house where the poker game is and suddenly the other player profiled and then...

both answers either NAA or VLQ
