Q: How does minecraft download skins?

IllinoisJacksonAs some of you may know, Mojang has an API that lets people get skins, usernames, and UUIDs of players. However, this API is limited to 1 request per minute by a specific user. My question is this: How does the Minecraft client download mass amounts of skins in periods less than a minute? (for e...

 
@GnomeSlice perfect.
Can you mail that to me? my username @ ardao.me
 
I think that this resolution will do it well
 
Literally just as the pizza guy pulled up
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan It's a vector, he can make it any size he wants.
@ardaozkal what format you want
 
12:05 AM
@GnomeSlice Illustrator? :P
 
Actually yes
 
@GnomeSlice Looks pretty nice but I'd still clear it with the SE peeps
 
Oh waaait
 
He can do that
 
Well @ardaozkal should

@GnomeSlice hey, your avatar is less stoic
 
@GnomeSlice no icno, but one is old while other isn't. Just caching messing up
 
@ardaozkal i was about to link it
 
I don't think that I can open the illustrator file on Photoshop, so a big png would be better.
 
I do have Illustrator
 
12:08 AM
@ardaozkal vector->raster->vector is no bueno, iirc
 
EPS should work
 
@ardao would it help?
 
I am now confused

Q: Is it possible to open an .ai file in Photoshop?

aviranI currently dont have Illustrator but I do have Photoshop, is it possible to open a .ai vector file and save as JPG/PNG in a desired size?

.ai will do well, according to that

Q: Clash of Clans keeps crashing!

ThePigDestroyerSo my clash of clans keeps crashing whenever I tap the friends tab to view my friends list. By the way I'm using BlueStacks to play Clash of Clans. Can someone please tell me why this happen? and how I can fix it. Thanks

 
better?
 
12:14 AM
LOL
 
Yep!
If you are not comfortable with mailing me, you can upload it anywhere and send it to me on steam
 
@ardao I kinda of agree with @ʞɹɐzǝɹ
 
@ardaozkal why not just post it here?
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ vector.
 
why always steam?
 
12:16 AM
oooooh, he can post the link here too
 
cuz i will steal it and use it for my own app
MWAHAHA

Q: Where the cheat codes came from?

Human_AfterAllThat's it. During my childhood I always wondered where did the cheat codes first appeared or were revealed from. I was born in 89 and here in Brazil Internet was not very popular until circa 98. Most of the cheat codes we used came from gaming magazines, but where did the magazine staff got i...

 
@Lazers2.0 i don't even
 
12:23 AM
@Lazers2.0 umm
 
@GodEmperorDune that was a better troll than I expected it
Image didn't load so I had to click it.
 
i suppose reusing old @uni jokes is a winning strategy
they are the worst, after all
 
anti-lifehacks is doing pretty well so far

LOL/PSA: friend reports that someone has modified the BoA ATM on Brannan St. in SoMA to shred your card and print "sorry" on the screen
Damn, heh
 
LOL/PSA
best kind of PSA
 
12:30 AM
aww :(
apparently BoA is about to remove the mod but right now this is amazing
 
@GnomeSlice just to know, how you made that logo?
 
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan he used illustrator
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ yeah ikr
 
I mean, what steps did he make in Illusrtator :p
 
12:34 AM
@ardaozkal are you making a social-justice.stackexchange.com logo there?
 
s/'); DROP TABLE engravings;--/Bobby Tables
 
rip bobby tables <3
 
@ardaozkal thank you for explaining xkcd to us :D
 
@tereško Ask that to @fredley, that is fredley's logo of ChatSEy.
 
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan make rounded square, add fill and stroke, add 3 lines, modify stroke as needed, use pen too for the bubble tip (add 3 anchor points, pull the middle one out), find a suitable font, make a "!" with the same color and outlines, place, make "!" text into outline, done.
 
12:37 AM
... you got me scared for a moment there
 
GITHUB IS DOWN #SnowDay #yay
 
noooooooooooooooo
 
I had no idea github uses a pink unicorn for errors O_O
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ The main problem that I find for "size correct logos" is that you can't simply make 3 lines that you want, you have to measure, etc
 
I was all geared up to actually write some code toay
 
12:38 AM
I wonder how the guys make this
@ardaozkal :O
 
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan I was about to push serverside.
 
@GnomeSlice this reminds me of a ICC chip
 
that unicorn looks pissed
 
Maybe their git servers are still up
 
1 min ago, by tereško
noooooooooooooooo
 
12:40 AM
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan you know you can make one line, scale it and then copy it twice
 
@ardaozkal doesn't look like it :C
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ yeah, but how will you measure the space in between the 3 lines
 
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan draw a line from one end of the square to the other?
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ ???
Don't really get that
 
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan you know you can increment them a set amount right? use the rule too to measure the distance with a line
 
12:46 AM
Github being down is worse than google being down!
 
it doesn't need to match the SE logo pixel by pxel
 
Yeah, my work basically grinds to a halt with GitHub down
 
@murgatroid99 are their Git servers still up?
 
Nope
 
Ugh, dammit.
 
12:48 AM
well, sort of. I managed to fetch, but I can't push
 
@murgatroid99 party time
 
They might be in some sort of read-only fallback mode or something
 
D:
 
We're investigating a significant network disruption effecting all http://github.com services.
 
Github is down?
 
12:49 AM
@James sadly yes
 
I should make a bot called "OKAY, PARTY" and connect @githubstatus to it.
 
@ardaozkal NOPE
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Oh, got it
 
Has anyone here tried VidAngel?
 
@Sterno sound nsfw
 
12:53 AM
It's a video streaming site. Kind of an interesting concept. To get around some legal stuff you "buy" the movie for $20, and if you sell it back within a day, you get $18 (for HD) or $19 (for SD). So effectively, you rent movies to stream for $1 or $2. The catch is if you don't sell it back in a day, you've bought it
 
@Sterno punishing the lazy and disorganized
who was it that was interested in drama?
A year ago, you secretly insulted the moderators on Puzzling via HTML comments. Have you done anything like that on SF&F? Do you have any ill-will to moderators on this site? — Jon Ericson ♦ yesterday
 
I love me some drama
 
user15026
The SFF election has that in spades, but it's mostly boring.
 
gnight
Will post NotificationOverflow when I add the last touches, ETA 12 hours.
 
@AshleyNunn racial slurs hidden in HTML comments? not so boring
its also surprising how many mod candidates have previous or active suspensions across the network
 
12:58 AM
@GodEmperorDune "break to learn" I guess
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Not really - anyone can nominate after a certain (pretty low) rep threshold
 
user15026
So past behaviour doesn't preclude you from that
 
i meant more the cojones to nominate yourself after something like that rather than something system enforced
 
user15026
I guess the hope is you learned from whatever it is you did
 
i haven't seen another mod questionnaire that specifically asks candidates to talk about their suspensions
well yeah
 
1:01 AM
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan I'll let you know if you're still around later
 
I might stream, anyone interesting in watching a mildly sick me ramble while hopefully not killing any more bridge members?
 
@GnomeSlice don't worry about it, just go enjoy your pizza with some nice tunes
 
@twobugs you know it
 
Wee! Skell, get!
...and promptly driven into the water.
 
How do i activate the new mobile chat
 
1:06 AM
Still sad @fbueckert didn't run for SFF mod and then close everything
 
@GnomeSlice Chat Profile -> prefs
 
> On the "prefs" tab of your chat profile, you'll find a new checkbox with which you can test the new mobile version of chat
 
Ohhh chat profile, duh
 
Nah, not duh. I didn't know where it was at first either :P
I thought it might be a button on the old UI or something
 
1:07 AM
I was looking on a site profile
oooo this is nice
 
@Sterno i would've voted for doge the explorer
 
@Sterno As much as I don't like them, I don't think running for mods should be done as a joke.
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ are you also @Chinatsu-creepy-chan
 
@GnomeSlice we are.
 
@Frank spoken like @NoFunFrank
@twobugs cc @AshleyNunn
 
1:09 AM
@GodEmperorDune Okay, fine.
If elected mod at Arqade, I will commit mod abuse each and every day.
There's the campaign platform.
 
@Frank make arqade great again
 
Did I just get pinged? O_o I could've sworn I heard a ping.
 
@quartata build a wall and make the n00bs pay for it
@Fluttershy are you watching @twobugs' stream? there is a delay
 
@GodEmperorDune Oooh, that's what it was. <_< Okay.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm just a chiptunes listening bystander
 
1:11 AM
I muted my pings, apologies
 
@twobugs sometimes you're so polite i think you're canadian
 
@GodEmperorDune I will make our tag wikis bigger and better and stronger than ever before

Q: "Merging" Entities?

SMILIECHICKENIn a recent Video video I watched, about creating smooth elevators in 1.9, the first step he took was to merge a falling sand block with a shulker mob, and then to put that falling sand/shulker entity as the head of a named armorstand. I saw someone commented on his video this same question, but ...

3 hours ago, by fredley
@ardaozkal You buy into a dead ecosystem you pay the price
 
@GodEmperorDune you are way too fast
Also you found a bug.
 
@ardaozkal what bug?
 
1:20 AM
 
@badp have seen far stranger things in tf2
at this point nothing phases me in tf2 sadly
 
OK, my team is basically completely nonfunctional with GitHub down
 
@murgatroid99 don't you have local copies of the code?
 
@quartata if you watched the Ster's last TF2 videos then yes I don't think there's anything you haven't seen
 
@murgatroid99 It's pretty damaging for my team but not a complete loss.
 
1:24 AM
@badp -1 no *purp*s.
 
@badp taken too far or washed up gamer?
Either way yes I've seen it all
 
I really want to respond to this one issue, though, because I read the email and I know the answer but now the guy has to just wait until tomorrow I guess when I'm back in the office.
 
fanboi time: Visual Studio Online is still open!
 
question for you github powerusers
if some guy is spamming old issues, but not through adding comments in github itself, is there any way to block that?
 
Is disabling issues an option?
 
1:27 AM
nah it happens once every few months
and the feedback from subscribing to issues is valuable
 
@GodEmperorDune What kind of spamming is it that doesn't involve adding comments?
 
@murgatroid99 like they are replying to everyone on the thread with nonsense, but when i go into github to report it i don't see anything on the thread
meaning i get the email, but don't see it in github proper
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh, I'd guess that they are making the comment, then deleting it
 
If you can block regular comments, you can block that too
 
1:30 AM
i was hoping i could just block the user
i guess i'll check it out next time it happens
 
report to github support maybe?
 
yeah, good idea
 
@GodEmperorDune We have local copies, but a lot of the workflow is around pull requests and issues
 
\o/
 
@murgatroid99 yeah i see how that would basically prevent you from doing anything
 
1:33 AM
I actually have code I'm working on, but the next thing I need to do is push it from one machine so I can pull it from another (different OS)
 
too much effort to set up a local server as a temp repo?
 
I was going to post a link that looks like github.com but actually is friday, saying that it is back, but I'm not that evil.
We're working to address a widespread issue affecting all http://github.com services.
 
@twobugs lol, "bone soldier"
 
@GodEmperorDune If I recall correctly you and I live somewhat near each other on the west coast of USA?

@GodEmperorDune Ah yes.. I am heading up to tepeka canyon tomorrow

The bad news is GitHub is not serving any traffic. The good news is the response times are fantastic. https://t.co/wdKw6rfTFU
Looks like I'll not be able to push the serverside.
Gnight bridge
 
Pull requests are nifty I guess but setting them up without github is a nightmare judging on the few tutorials I've skimmed
 
@GodEmperorDune Ohhhh
Well now
I have a friend who lives in that area :)

I wonder how the Linus gang juggles around commits
do they actually connect to each other's machines?
 
@badp i thought they did bazaar
 
@GodEmperorDune Linus wrote git
 
It still pains my headcanon that submitting something is called a pull request
 
1:48 AM
in addition to Linux
 
@badp watch me write git!
git
 
@Sterno Because you're not submitting. You're asking a maintainer to pull it into their repository
 
Here you go! I wrote git!
 
@badp thatsthejoke.jpg
 
like do the kernel mantainers all have an account on Linus's box?
 
1:49 AM
@badp i would think it's a server somewhere, not his personal machine
 
oohhhhh right. git format-patch, git am, etc., the memories are flooding back to me
It must be the same system ganeti uses
I guess.
email commits to each other
 
I request nothing. I make awesome changes and push them.
 
git remote add linus ssh://linus.box/home/secret/donotlook/porn/gr/annies/xxx/linux/
git push -f linus master
 
@badp /gr/annies/
 
fact: I git push -f about 50 times a day. I have in fact wrapped a script around it
@GodEmperorDune but what is the refrance
 
1:54 AM
@badp yeah you seem like the type to force it
@badp my home machine?
 
It's my workflow
 
i mean my friend's home machine
 
It is always a friend.
good night bridge
 
@twobugs yes we all remember that thing
it was zalgo, for sure
 
.author changes on a box
git add -p
git commit
git push and git checkout one or more boxes
test changes there
fix things
git add -p
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push -f and git checkout again
test again
I guess I should add git clean -dxf

I actually have 𝙗𝙥 in my PS1
well. fish's PS1 equivalent.

with the font I'm using there the bolded double circle basically becomes a perfect double-wide character for the eye of sauron
 
Bah
She does not know someone who uses that internet nick
Your shins are safe ... for now @GodEmperorDune

In the font I am using its a square and a space surrounded by ''

@James U+2B57
 
@twobugs did you just cover @badp in sticky goo?
 
I guess it also depends on the font and rendering engine
nah, works in Windows + "putty" too
just needs a suitably narrow font
though I guess it's not quite as bold as I'd like
