@StrixVaria please remove my mesaage with the link above
 
you might want to rethink your mod nomination? ;/
 
@ardaozkal concealing evidence from voters is not a good look
 
@GodEmperorDune not that, but minimizing the damage.
I accept that I did post a link with a pretty good comment (on a non-se security blog) by a user from SE.
here.
@djsmiley2k removed some stuff already (link in twitter etc).
 
heh, the internet doesn't forget tho
 
@GodEmperorDune The evidence is there
er, here
shrug
 
7:08 PM
if you go ahead and check the election page, you might see a difference
 
Never again. Never again will I try to merge one branch into another, especially when both are rooted to the trunk.

Q: Can't change my skin in minecraft!

BazoonGaminGfirst I fix the skins I want, then I click on the download up to minecraft, but then it is a creeper that says- Sorry page not found.

 
The family of the kid who ended up in Gorillaville are handling it well. They're remaining anonymous and asking that any donations which would have been made towards them be sent to the zoo in Harambe's name.
 
@MBraedley svn merging is so terrible
 
I can't say that I'll never attempt a merge in SVN, because that would be a lie, since the target branch still needs to be merged back into the trunk at some point. That will be a fun merge that will break all kinds of things.
I guess I should make sure everything still builds.
 
7:13 PM
Probably
 
> A federal inspection less than two months ago found no problems with the gorilla exhibit, but earlier inspections reported issues including the potential danger to the public from a March incident involving wandering polar bears inside a behind-the-scenes service hallway.
Finding a polar bear in a service hallway sounds really, really terrifying.
 
@twobugs if its like tv, the polar bear just wants a bottle of Coke
to share with its kid on an iceberg
 
@twobugs It's worth pointing out that this was an annual inspection, not an inspection related to problems
 
@twobugs I still don't get how it happened D:
 
As long as the polar bear is aware that the coke bottle is not found within the chest cavity of a human
And that coke is NOT human blood
@Unionhawk Yeah, I just find that scary but also just wacky enough to be a sitcom gag
 
7:16 PM
But, yes, some handler left a gate open and then a polar bear was loose
 
Like the polar bear somehow gets a nametag stuck on him
And people think he's a new employee
 
It was a fun situation for everyone involved I'm sure
 
Maybe he climbs the ranks, even finds love
Eventually the name tag falls off and my god, Larry from accounting is just a polar bear!
 
What are you going on about?
 
i'm so lost.
 
7:17 PM
That's my plan for a TV show
 
It's like 5 lines
 
Don't steal it
 
How do you get lost in 5 lines
 
I want to make a We Bare Bears reference, but I'm like 100% sure no one here's seen it
 
@GraceNote They're 5 very nonsensical lines
 
7:18 PM
Well, you started off with "a sitcom gag"
 
@twobugs @GraceNote has an advantage in that department though
 
The more I think about this the more I think we could spin it off into an absurd dramady
 
There's something wrong with you
 
@Unionhawk should a mod candidate really be so hostile in chat?
 
The wrongness is that I'm not a TV showrunner
 
7:21 PM
@twobugs then you didn't get the resume i sent to @twobugsProductions?
 
I think my official twitter is only @twobugsGaming

Q: I'm making a one command creation and need some help with floor crafting

Smart_Snakehelp I'm making a command creation and in the third command block I need help /scoreboard players tag @e[type=Item] add ink {Item:{id:"minecraft:dye",Damage:0s,Count:5b},OnGround:1b} /scoreboard players tag @e[type=Item] add diamond {Item:{id:"minecraft:diamond",Damage:0s,Count:4b},OnGround:1b}...

 
I mean the thing about the gorilla enclosement is that it was clearly up to all the standards that existed
This was just something nobody had thought about or tried in 17 years
And it happened over the course of a minute or so
I blame @Wipqozn
 
@twobugs it was a 30something year old enclosure
 
7:24 PM
It had just been inspected as part of an annual thing. And it passed.
 
@twobugs i guess they need to up the standards
like let a 3 year old loose on it as part of the inspections
 
Apparently there's archive footage of a similar incident 20 years ago. A toddler fell into a gorilla enclosure... and the gorilla picked up him, cradled him, and brought him to paramedics
Not that it would have happened in this case, sure. But interesting.
 
That was also a female probably
 
It was. And from the footage the whole event looks to have transpired differently
Harambe's dragging of the boy is very clearly different
 
Yeah
It's tragic, it should have never happened, but as it turns out, the fence was climbable, so it was climbed
 
7:31 PM
Yup
 
From the sounds of things, it became similar past the only two minutes that are online

Q: Play KOTOR with alternate story after twist was spoiled (Spoilers in post)

windy401So years ago I had the plot twist of KOTOR spoiled for me, which put me off from playing it for a while. I've now regained an interest in playing the game and have started it up. I couple hours in, I've tried to just pretend I don't know, play the character as if I don't. But it's not working so ...

 
Apparently what Harambe did - the dragging - is actually a relatively common behavior for male gorillas and makes sense when you realize they evolved in a non-concrete environment
So even without meaning to hurt the boy, and just doing normal stuff, Harambe could have been causing injury.
 
@twobugs that was a famous one
the other gorriias were acting threatening to the crying child or something
and the silverback went and picked her up, carried her to safety basically.
or so i recall.
 
@twobugs s/could have been/was
 
7:36 PM
Yeah. All the experts are stressing that we've only seen 2 minutes of footage so we have a very limited picture
I'm sure the Zoo didn't make that choice lightly
 
Tranq was almost certainly not an option
 
@twobugs its not like they had time to hold a board meeting to discuss it
 
They had time to say "this is a life threatening situation, tranqs will take too long, we need to move in now" which is still enough
 
i also ಠ_ಠ to the people who say "you're not a parent, so you don't understand"
 
Ugh, PS+ free games stink this month
 
7:42 PM
The better "not understand" is "Mr. Trump, you're not an animal expert, Jack Hanna on the other hand is, so... Who should I trust do you think" (he made some dumb comment about how he was protecting the child)
 
PS4 is Gone Home and NBA 2k16...
I mean, Gone Home is experimental and all and I respect that they tried something different. But it didn't particularly entertain me
 
Isn't 2k16 the game where on Xbox One it uses Kinect to give the player technical fouls for swears?
 
NBA2k16 tried something different where they had Spike Lee 'direct' the story mode
 
...
>_>
<_<
 
You play as Frequency Vibrations and the story is about you and your Twin Brother
 
7:43 PM
@Unionhawk i'd trust jane goodall over jack hanna, tbh
 
Except... you can design your character. Your twin brother is just always black
 
@GodEmperorDune Who also said the same damn thing
 
It just sounds really silly
 
@Unionhawk wait, where
 
iirc?
 
7:44 PM
PS3 has Echochrome, a game from like 2008 (but it's cool I guess) and some Siren game
 
Unless, wait
 
PSVita has a psp game and a PSVita launch title
 
basically harambe might not have been trying to hurt the kid, overall the situation sucks and is a tragedy
 
I mean, not trying to, but he's also huge, so it wasn't a matter of trying to
 
The biggest issue with tranqs in this situation is the possibility of aggression
 
7:48 PM
idk, it's awful, and we can't actually know what would have happened if they acted otherwise other than there is a possibility the child would have been hurt more, or maybe not and everyone would be fine
 
@Unionhawk but human kids and gorilla infants are probably around the same robustness, it's not like he didn't know how to be gentle
@Unionhawk yeah i suppose so
 
user4704
@Waterseas Or just random weird behavior, I suspect.
 
Like can you imagine the outrage if they tried to save both and ended up saving only Harambe? There would be calls to have the Cincinnati Zoo shut down.
 
user4704
My wife is a vet tech and has all sorts of stories about animals reacting poorly to even very carefully calculated drug doses.
 
Yep, dad is a vet
 
7:55 PM
@Unionhawk yeah i think the zoo would get shit even if both harambe and the kid were saved
 
Probably, but they'd have a set of quick acting heroes on their side
 
@Unionhawk yeah
 
Something something live long enough to become the villain
 
And it'd be no worse at minimum
 
@twobugs is this the origin story of gorilla grodd or the ultra humanite? (also i don't know if marvel had gorilla villains back in the day, maybe cc @Yuuki)
 
7:57 PM
Grodd is great
I'm not aware of any villainous gorillas in the Marvel universe
 
just a DC weirdness then
 
DC Brilliance
 
just go for king tromp
orange and angry
 
I wanted to feel better about myself
 
can you stomp the tromp?
 
7:59 PM
oh well, outta the race igo !
 
Well there was that purple gorilla, but he was a Hanna Barbara character
Magila? Magilla?
 
@badp only "haters" can stomp the tromp
 
@djsmiley2k science shows that elections is more statistically likely to do the opposite D:
 
BatRilla?
 
7:59 PM
@GodEmperorDune so, yes then
 
@djsmiley2k is it shaped like pasta
 
ask your doctor if election is right for you
3
 
erm
it's kinda like batcow, so no ~:D
 
@Unionhawk ask a doctor if your election lasts more than 4 hours

r/im14andthisisfunny
 
8:01 PM
I think we're well over 48 hours in
 
@ardaozkal did you drop out?
 
@badp this is just the nomination, not the election
@Unionhawk r/im30andthisisfunny
 
I don't see him on the election list anymore
 
now i feel bad :L/
 
8:04 PM
@GnomeSlice he did
 
Should have stuck it out my friend
 
Eh, it's his call in the end
 
Although even if I didn't have the history here that I do, I don't think I'd like all of the responsibility it comes with, particularly on this site
 
@GnomeSlice as opposed to other SE sites or other sites in general?
 
Particularly this SE site
I mod on a default sub on reddit and it seems a lot less hectic when it comes to community interaction than here
 
8:06 PM
I remember when you were a bad word XD
 
10 messages moved from Arqade 2016 Election Discussion
 
Also funnily enough, I'm usually the one talking to the other mods about losing their tempers... weird.
Something about stackexchange has been... giving me trouble lately, I guess
 
@badp Fair enough
 
@badp yeah i figured that would happen
 
I tried to figure out what got moved and I'm confused
Oh well
 
8:08 PM
@twobugs the ones with the < arrows
 
@twobugs some dick jokes
 
Yeah basically
 
@djsmiley2k that's only on desktop
 
oh :/
 
9 mins ago, by GodEmperorDune
@Unionhawk ask a doctor if your election lasts more than 4 hours
 
8:10 PM
Ah, I see
 
It creates a really weird flow in the transcript but w/e it doesn't matter
 
Oh, you can connect steam and gog accounts now? Thanks, Starlist!
 
I tried doing that, the thing timed out on me
 
Same here, am not surprised though
Servers must be pressured

Q: Are Overwatch settings installation related or account related?

Иво НедевI have Overwatch installed on my personal PC. I'm playing it trough a friend's battlenet account. I'll soon buy a copy for myself and simply login in battlenet and play on the same installation on my PC. Will the settings I have for graphics, sensitivity and different heroes be saved for me, on t...

Q: How does Soldier: 76's ultimate pick targets?

UnionhawkSoldier: 76's ultimate ability is an aimbot, targeting all enemies generally in front of him. But how does this ability pick targets? Is it based on proximity, or is it based on something else? Additionally, does his ultimate target buildings as well, or does it only target players?

 
8:13 PM
If I am elected Arqade mod I will make sure we will have the best servers
 
Man, mothers rock.
I was talking to my mother on the phone, and we were just chit chatting. Mentioned I was planning to sushi again since I just don't feel like cleaning my kitchen and thenc ooking. So she's all "I'll buy you supper". Man, moithers rocks.
11/10 would have a mother again
 
look at @Wipqozn trying to play the family card
so shameless
 
I should get my mother to bake you all cookies.
 
he has mothers he has the wipqozniest mothers
 
@Lazers2.0 So how anal do we want to be about things that are not allowed by TOS?
 
8:16 PM
If you really wanted to you could spin that question to "I'm migrating to another PC, are my settings saved on my account or do I have to back them up", it's a matter of "is that a thing we want to do"
Because it's not like this problem is unique to account sharing
 
Yeah, exactly
Right
It's like a question where someone had an often encountered problem, and by the way I pirated this game
 
@SaintWacko piracy is bad, mmmmkay
 
@GodEmperorDune Sigh...
 
@badp yeah my vote is now for @uniqozn instead of @wipqoznhawk
@SaintWacko i believe the sarcasm degraded during transmission
 
@ardaozkal why exactly did you CC me?
 
8:19 PM
@GodEmperorDune wipqawk is the wrongest worst
 
@badp uniwipqoznhawk
 
@Nzall He'd linked to a comment of yours on an external site; link has been deleted since
 
@badp @Wipqozn IS THE WORST/ DATA ACCEPTED
 
@Nzall hi you must be new here
 
unwiphawqozn?
 
8:20 PM
@Nzall DUPLICATE RECORD DETECTED
 
unwipqawkzn
 
@fredley That sounds like some sort of horrific monster.
 
@Wipqozn Close, it's two!
 
was it from mmo-champion?
 
@fredley Oh buuuuurrrrrrrrn! (cc @unwiphawqozn)

Proposed Q&A site for users and maintainers of Fedora Linux

Closed before being launched.

 
I don't really care that others find me elsewhere, I just don't really want them to easily link my IRL name to my nickname
 
this @Unionhawk @Wipqozn merge is more painful than @MBraedley's SVN struggle
 
8:23 PM
@GodEmperorDune how can anything be more painful than an SVN merge
 
It's the reason why I changed my name on here
 
is that a sex thing
 
@badp honestly i don't know what it is
 
8:27 PM
reader × plantera
 
@GnomeSlice yes
 
silly WoW
 
@GnomeSlice worst part is that I can't buy songs now that paypal is being disabled in turkey
I'll probably mail the artists and pay to them (btc etc?) to get bc artist codes.
 
@ardaozkal can you get prepaid CCs still?
 
@GnomeSlice I have a prepaid, yes
actually I have 3.
 
8:35 PM
@Chippies ice giant is a playable race now?
 
@GodEmperorDune Half the fucking problem is that we don't use consistent white-space rules across the codebase, and I'll Ctrl+K Ctrl+F to format a file, and it makes diff take a shit.
 
oh wait bandcamp.com/buying_without_paypal edit: it requires paypal. derp
 
@ardaozkal If Turkey is so bad in your opinion, then why don't you leave it?
 
@GodEmperorDune it's a quest that transforms you into those ice giant ladies
a whole quest line actually
you can do everything you normally can as your class while looking like that
so it's pretty silly with the mounts
 
Apr 1 at 20:38, by ardaozkal
Really serious question, and fourth time rewriting this message: I'll mail universities scholarship departments to help me decide on what to do (will ask about what they need from students). I have 2 paths in front of me right now, the turkish examinations, or SAT. If I get positive signals from the universities, I'll go with the SAT path. Bridge, what I ask from you is to help me find good universities to mail to (or call) for Computer Sciences or Computer Engineering.
 
8:36 PM
 
@MBraedley yeah i was release engineer and had to deal with a large codebase with that kind of shit on svn. one dude went through and re-indented large swaths of the codebase. it was a mess
@ardaozkal universities in other countries?
 
@GodEmperorDune oh, I get it, autoindentation
 
@Nzall he didn't even say Turkey is bad, he just stated a fact
 
@Chippies oh, it is.
 
@GodEmperorDune And that's after ignore whitespace is enabled.
 
8:37 PM
@ardaozkal oh I'm sure it is, I'm just saying you didn't say it was in that message :P
 
@Nzall no, he was on a crusade to "fix" everything
 
@Chippies every time @ardaozkal mentions turkey, it's either to whine about a service that doesn't work properly because the regime disabled it or to complain about things he struggles with in Turkey
A person might get the impression from those messages that he doesn't like it there
 
@GodEmperorDune I'm not dragging my family around the world and am currently too young to live on my own in (most) other countries. My best shot at moving to another country is being accepted by an uni there.
 
inb4 unionhawk joke
TAKE THAT @GodEmperorDune I KNOW YOU WERE TYPING
 
@Unionhawk CURSE YOU
 
8:39 PM
@ardaozkal Have you checked with Erasmus yet?
 
yes, i was def typing
 
@Nzall well, I mean, have you tried moving to a different country?
it's not always that simple
 
but the joke's on you @uni it wasn't a very good pun so it's better left unsaid
 
@Chippies I am aware that it's not that easy, but Erasmus can help with that
 
Also I went and took a look to my old communities and my old comments. I... used to be toxic. Places where I used to hang used to be toxic. My old comments used to be toxic. Thanks for making me a decent human, Bridge.
 
8:42 PM
@Nzall that still might only help him move to a different country only temporary
 
@ardaozkal we do our best
 
@ardaozkal you are who you hang out with
so, clearly you are becoming the worst
 
@Chippies If he puts in a lot of effort, he might find a company willing to work on his relocation
 
You have to be pretty impressive to get an international relocation assist.
 
There are plenty of multinationals in Europe and the USA that have room for a competent CompSci employee and are willing to support his relocation
 
8:44 PM
Also should have your passport up to date before you try to get into international schools.
 
@ardaozkal Make us proud!
 
@Chippies I used to think so too. I went ahead and checked those again and... even though that ("the worst") is usually a joke, bridge is a pretty good place.
 
@Nzall when moving to a different country, you're also pretty much ditching your family and everyone you know, which isn't always easy
 
@ardaozkal yeah its why we can joke about such things
 
@ardaozkal being the worst is better than being toxic
 
8:45 PM
There are toxic elements here, but it's usually a tolerable place here.
 
@MadMAxJr pmuch this.
 
also this ERASMUS program sounds pretty cool, i'm jealous
 
@MadMAxJr eh, very few toxic elements and I can't even name any
 
@Chippies I think it's pronounced The Worst™
 
@Ronan the ™ is silent
 
8:46 PM
@Chippies its all those canadians
the names are unpronouncable
 
@GodEmperorDune 1 out of 10 Canadians are The Worst™
 
Addendum: There are only ten canadians.
 
@MadMAxJr one of them is @Wipqozn
 
Yay, you two figured it all out!
 
@Chippies i didn't want to do the math to count all the canadian bridgers
 
8:49 PM
@Nzall afaik that works when you enter a uni and it allows you to transfer to another country. I'm not really interested in any turkish universities. The national entrance exams contain 25000 topics according to a pretty big company advertising their university preparing thingy. Normally I'd go "lies", but I went ahead and checked: it isn't.
 
@GodEmperorDune I didn't count, I rounded to the nearest 10
 
We are hardly finishing the topics at school
 
@ardaozkal the erasmus page on wikipedia says they do high school too
 
@GodEmperorDune how do I apply?
 
8:50 PM
@aurevoir i am laughing so hard right now
 
@ardaozkal Are you in the EU for university reasons?
 
@ardaozkal i have no idea, the wiki is here
The Erasmus Programme (European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) is a European Union (EU) student exchange programme established in 1987. Erasmus+, or Erasmus Plus, is the new programme combining all the EU's current schemes for education, training, youth and sport, which was started in January 2014. The Erasmus Programme, together with a number of other independent programmes, was incorporated into the Socrates programme established by the European Commission in 1994. The Socrates programme ended on 31 December 1999 and was replaced with the Socrates II programme on...
 
@Ronan turkey is not a part of European Union.
If you mean "where do you want to study", the answer is pretty much everywhere with decent education.
 
@ardaozkal I know, but I think some additional countries are counted for some things.
Like funding.
 
I've only had the Merasmus experience.
 
8:51 PM
@MadMAxJr same
 
@aurevoir you're conflating "all X are Y" with "all Y are X"
 
@Nzall Sorry.
 
thing is, if I spend time studying for the national entrance exams, it'll take about 2 years of dedicated time. Only half of the questions in those exams are math (and math related- chemistry, physics etc), but your whole score matters. I guess my religion knowledge really matters for CS.
 
Some would say certain programming languages are a religious matter. :D
 
@ardaozkal Being well rounded is important.
 
8:54 PM
@MadMAxJr tabs vs spaces, emacs vs vim, hg vs git...
 
emacs vs vim vs nano
 
@Ronan You are right, but questions are pretty detailed and targeted. you want some example questions (if I can find some)?
 
@ardaozkal No, I believe it can get pretty ridiculous. Fortunately the UK doesn't have any.
 
@MadMAxJr i thought nano was just vim with helptext
 
Isn't there a stack for education that would have useful answers for these unviersity finding questions?
 
8:55 PM
@MadMAxJr switched from vim to nano (because vim on my ubuntu VM causes issues for some reason)
 
One that isn't lifehacks.
 
but pretty unarguably vim
@MadMAxJr hmm, maybe academia, or its chat?
 
@ardaozkal real programmers edit files by sed alone
 
@GodEmperorDune real programmers edit bytes. using their bare hands.
 
@ardaozkal i dunno their rules, but they might have a canonical question about how to find a uni
 
8:57 PM
 
Real developers use magnetized pins and flip the bits on their ram chips directly.
 
@ardaozkal nah that doesn't work with the cloud anymore
 
Oh good, there's that xkcd.
 
@GodEmperorDune that is why you use ownCloud, duh
@MadMAxJr I pretty much meant this :P
 
@ardaozkal when you're young and have the time to fiddle with your own cloud, sure. then you get old and lazy and pay a few bucks a month for someone else to have the hassle.
 
8:59 PM
One of these days I'll have to figure out why I can remember that there is an xkcd for <x>, but can't remember my kids names.
 
I'm young and I don't have time. Thanks bridge.
 
Name your kids after XKCD comic titles. Done.
 
@aurevoir is one of your kids little bobby tables?
