3:00 PM
I want to make a new pc case and I'm planning on using a curved square tube as the base for it
So now I'm looking at how to bend it and so many pretty tools
 
@KevinvanderVelden Are you sure?
Everyone could use one of these:
 
@JasonBerkan E_PHYSICS_EXCEPTION
 
I mean, @Wipqozn's using one right now.
 
@badp the water was heated
LAME I SAY
(not heated a lot, more to make it not freeze over instantly)
 
@JasonBerkan Is it me, or does that website take WAY too long to load?
 
3:02 PM
It had frozen overnight, so they poured hot water on it to melt the ice.
 
that's what water does at -30°C, yes
 
@Nzall They don't want you to go to the website. The want you to buy the paper. Ask @Wipqozn about the mentality of newspaper companies.
 
if the water was liquid it had to be at ~0°C
 
Also, who else here designs PC cases by starting with a bezier curve?
Just me? Huh
 
@KevinvanderVelden how do you machine that
 
3:05 PM
@badp I'll bend some square tube into that shape
 
@KevinvanderVelden how do you turn a tube into a case
 
> Netflix has confirmed via a line in a press release that “Castlevania Season 1, Part 1 Coming to Netflix in 2017”. I don’t believe that the online streaming service has released anything in the way of further info themselves, but the series producer, Adi Shankar has fleshed out the announcement a little, revealing Warren Ellis as the series’ writer and adding “I personally guarantee that it will end the streak and be the western world’s first good video game adaptation”.
wat
 
@badp that'll be the left and right parts of the frames, I'll weld shorter square tube in between to create an actual structural frame and then cover it with aluminum sheeting
 
> Gemma Arterton and Eva Green cast in romance 'Vita & Virginia' about Virginia Woolf and writer-gardener Vita Sackville-West.
> "For a moment I misread that as "Sackville-Baggins" and was really confused about what sort of movie to expect."
 
3:07 PM
@Sterno Definitely not getting hopes up
 
@KevinvanderVelden "hardcose" =~ s/s/r/r
 
@PrivatePansy @Sterno I'm not either
 
@PrivatePansy I mean, if it's just a guy running through a castle, jumping around and whipping bats, I think it's fine
12 hours of that
 
quality entertainment
 
@Sterno You could just watch a speedrun
 
3:09 PM
@Sterno I'm sure that's a euphemism for something
 
@Sterno 16 minutes of a guy clipping through castle walls and such
 
@KevinvanderVelden It's a Fifty Shade of Gray x Twilight crossover
 
I hope the bad guy has the cleverly deceptive name of Alucard
 
No wait
 
Okay, that page has been loading for 7 minutes now. Still nothing
Looks like it's something between Belgium and their servers
I can load it just fine from a proxy
 
3:17 PM
FINE I'll buy a cheap manual metal bender, that should do what I want
 
Let's talk about Nioh
GO
 
It's boring
Next
 
NO YOU
 
@Sterno Thatll be interesting to see.
 
Will it?
 
3:18 PM
@Sterno That's presidential level arguing right there.
 
@MadMAxJr WRONG
 
NO YOU'RE THE PUPPET
 
Everything you just said is a lie.

Q: Account Management Page Incorrect Login Information

MagicDominionWhen I go to the account management page to change my username, every time that I put in my login information it says that it's incorrect! I know that this isn't the case because I have signed in and out of geometry dash with the exact same login information. Does anyone have an answer to this? p...

 
@Sterno But he never said anything?
 
3:20 PM
@Sterno stop it with the fake news already
 
@Sterno That is the biggest wrong. The bestest wrong.
 
I'd like to wish everyone, even the haters and losers, a good morning.
 
Code working as it should on the first test is a good feeling :D
 
@Sterno And a good morning to you, too.
 
@Arperum I wish I knew that feeling :(
 
3:25 PM
@Jutschge Doesn't happen all the time though :p
 
Ladies and Gentlemen... the sitting US President
 
My current language is driving me insane... There's the "new" version that has no community but at least a documentation. And then there's the "classic" version. about 35 years old and basically nothing on the internet.
There's probably about 1000 devs worldwide who use this shit and after 2 months of learning I know why...
 
@Sterno isn't it great? He truly wants to wish well to everyone
the haters and the losers, which is now a good partition on the set of humanity
 
@Jutschge What are you working with?
 
@Arperum Omnis Classic and Omnis Studio. Classic is just a nightmare
 
3:34 PM
@Jutschge Never even heard about it.
 
It's the worst
 
Come now, it's not PHP.
 
"This merge request contains merge conflicts " well tell me what the conflicts are!
 
I'd love me some PHP right now. Well... Anything but Omnis tbh
 
is that what the 35 year old thing is called? "Omnis"?
oh I guess you already addressed that
@Jutschge no that would be @Wipqozn
 
@Jutschge I'm currently using Access. And SharePoint.
 
@Wipqozn Do you have Nioh yet?
 
@Frank RIP, I'm sorry for your loss
 
pls
 
@BlueBarren Combat pay. For what I'm doing, I'm getting massively overpaid.
 
3:40 PM
@Frank Well ok that might come close yes...
 
That said, I'm already looking at how we can move all this into a modern language.
 
My least favorite thing about omnis classic: I have a 1500 page book next to me at all times because there is NOTHING documented online.
 
And my bosses are looking to me to tell them how to move forward, technology-wise.
So I'm basically I'm charge of future tech.
 
@Yuuki what's an .bf
 
@badp Brainfuck file.
Basically 55MB of >>++++[>++++++++<-].
 
3:45 PM
@Yuuki Is that a C compiler written in BF?
 
@PrivatePansy And a Lisp interpreter!
 
> C compiler and Lisp interpreter in Brainfuck
 
Is it a c compiler written in lisp running in a lisp interpreter running in brainfuck?
 
> The original goal of this project was to run a Lisp interpreter on Brainfuck. The goal was extended and this project also has a C compiler which runs on Brainfuck. The Lisp interpreter and the C compiler are generated from C code by modified 8cc. This means we have a toolchain which can translate a subset of C to Brainfuck code.
 
3:47 PM
@KevinvanderVelden That's a brainfuck...
 
@Yuuki because that's a useful thing to have
 
 
graphviz \o/
 
the really awful part is
it's written in ruby
that's pretty much perl
 
You're pretty much perl
 
3:56 PM
I used to be pearl
 
Now you're a star?
 
I'm now a face that says wow but due to my poor coloring of it, it seems like sun
 
Well you're made of sunshine right?
 
Sunshine and unicorn farts
 
4:01 PM
Man, Windows has a really bad upscaling algorithm for its wallpapers
 
I had 2 bridge tabs open
what the hell is wrong with me
 
Doublehawk
 
@Unionhawk clearly the solution is more bridge tabs
 
I read that as cspan and was slightly confused
 
4:12 PM
The For Honor Open Beta is now live! :D

Q: Is it possible to remove a scoreboard score by a scoreboard score? (Minecraft)

FrosTxKyzerThe question I'm asking might be confusing but I'll give an example: /scoreboard players remove @p score score So it possible to do something like this?

 
    pato da desideratum                         # $pat = qr/(?x)
        C tum plurissimum A tum O opta tum T    #          C[AO]+T
        an DOG tum potissimum GY.               #          |DOG(?:GY)?/;
    si stringum patum comparamentum fac sic     # if ($string =~ /$pat/) {
            scribe egresso par inquementum      #    print "match"
    cis
 
cc: @Wipqozn
 
@badp DOG
 
Today on weird bugs, I changed a shallow merge to a deep merge and now colors aren't rendering properly.
More specifically, all color styles have been changed to 'lightgrey'.
I've kinda pinpointed where it's happening, I just don't know why.
 
4:15 PM
INB4 all of booking.com is rewritten in latin
 
:puke:
 
 You are as cowardly as the sum of yourself and the difference
 between a big mighty proud kingdom and a horse. Speak your mind.

 Speak your mind!
I believe this is the bit that prints ll.
 
I might frame this https://t.co/QahLrpqzGM
 
Oh man, MadTree is now smoke free
neat
 
@Unionhawk You let out the magic smoke?

Q: PS4 controller on phone

Mika EttemaI am trying to connect my ps4 controller to my phone, that worked, but now I want to play Geometry Dash with the controller! I have tried it, but I can do a few things, pause the level, exit the level , and that's it... Now I want to know how I can jump, and how I can play levels, not by tapping ...

 
lmao Kellyanne pls
Kellyanne has probably implicated herself in ethics violations this morning
lol
not to mention that the President has already implicated himself in these same things
“go buy Ivanka’s stuff”-Kellyanne Conway Except fed employees are banned from using pub office to endorse products: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/conway-may-have-broken-key-ethics-rule-by-touting-ivanka-trumps-products-experts-say/2017/02/09/fd1cc64a-eeda-11e6-b4ff-ac2cf509efe5_story.html?utm_term=.f62e5769f85c
get hopefully rekt
 
And there's no question of if those laws apply to her
 
Please get rekt
For the sake of everyone
 
4:35 PM
> Doctors worldwide marvel at the ability of 292 men and women to function without spines.
You know, let's throw everyone in Congress in that number.
> Doctors worldwide marvel at the ability of 533 men and women to function without spines.
 
GET HYPED CHAT
@Fluttershy @Sterno Guess what just arrived?!?!?!
 
Something horrible?
I mean besides @Wipqozn
 
@Wipqozn Your ticket to be late to the party?
 
@Wipqozn Your mom, ready to cook you a delicious dinner?
 
@Sterno nope, it was a package
 
4:41 PM
GODDAMNIT THIS GUY FORGOT TO PUT PICKLES ON MY SANDWICH WORST DAY OF 2017
 
@Sterno False, no pickles is best pickles
 
MY CASCADE DISHWASHER DETERGENT
GET HYYYYYPED
 
I hate those little gel packets
 
@Wipqozn caaaaat
 
4:42 PM
Eventually the last 20 or so stick together
 
But that is pretty hype indeed @Wipqozn
 
@Sterno I've never had that problem
oh also Nioh showed up too I guess
both delivery guys showed up at the same time
 
@Wipqozn That's cool I guess but let's get back to the Cascade...
 
@KevinvanderVelden yeah she was like "What's this?"
@Sterno yeah I regret not making an unboxing video
 
You should make a real-time video of a packet slowly dissolving in water.
 
4:43 PM
@Wipqozn cats do that
 
I'd watch
 
Also my new rats have figured out that they're not allowed on the central heating
So they wait until I turn my back to do it
 
@Sterno I could do reviews of them too
I'd make so much money
Could partner up with the fast food guy
 
First no bacon on my breakfast sandwich, now no pickles on my lunch sandwich. WHAT IS LIFE?
 
@Sterno you should probably post an angry review on yelp
 
4:45 PM
existence is pain
pain is mandatory
 
The person that took your bacon knew you would later order pickles and as such don't deserve bacon
Oh that reminds me, I have to pick up a gift for my mom from the grocery store, might as well get bacon while there
(I'm not gifting my mom groceries, the package has just been delivered there)
 
Okay, that's interesting.
 
@Sterno Time to start making cards for "Sterno argument or Trump tweet?"
 
The deep merge function I'm using takes two objects that contain, among other things, an array indexed to a key. In fact, both objects contain identical arrays.
After the deep merge, both objects no longer contain those arrays.
o_O
?_?
 
5:01 PM
@Fluttershy Oh my. Does it last into the weekend?
@JasonBerkan Why would a company ever do that? It doesn't make any sense at all. But yeah @Nzall that's literally how Newspapers work. Digital profits aren't there yet, so they're still trying to push people into the print product.
@JasonBerkan It's gotten better now, and we're making a brand new website and all, buuuuuut there have been some really stupid decisions made. Like there were policies made where the decision to not make the website better was because than it would be better than the print product, and that's bad.
Like I wish I being hyperbolic, but I'm not sure. I'm not not even paraphrasing. The dev team has had Decision returned to us with "That has the potential to hurt print sales, so we will not be adding that feature to the website"
Luckily things have changed, and they're now shifting gears to "let's build a brand new kick ass website, and focus on getting a lot of page views!"
 
@Wipqozn The Internet has always been an afterthought for newspapers.
 
@Frank It really has, and it's part of why they're struggling
 
At best, its an addition to the outdated business model, not a replacement.
 
@Wipqozn - is your paper part of PostMedia?
 
I'm trying to figure out whether the current advertising revenue problem with newspaper websites is an inherent problem born of poor decisions in the early Internet.
 
5:07 PM
@JasonBerkan Nope. We're independent. Irving has tried to buy us a few times, but the company always turns them down. IT's family owned.
 
The whole model needs rethinking, which established papers aren't willing to do, because that would be admitting their century old model isn't relevant anymore.
 
Because newspaper ads are essentially physical versions of Internet banner ads.
 
@Wipqozn Nice. Everything out here is PM, and they run it as cheaply as possible. Every website for every PM paper is identical.
 
@Frank That's the case for some of the "old school" journalists, but it's more that they need to completely rethink they're business model from the ground up, and that's not easy. Thing is, back in the day, the newspaper was the only game in town. You want to get your ad out in front of people? Go to the Newspaper.
Suddenly that's not the case anymore, though. Not only that but not everyone is willing to pay for news anymore. I mean you can get it for free easily, after all.
Although the get it for free is one advantage that a local newspaper has. If you put a large focus on local news then there's less competition giving it out for free to worry about.

DrqppingBeks I have tried to log into minecraft today, and I tried to log-in and said "invalid username or password" But everything is correct, and it still won't work. I was trying to use mcleaks before but it didn't work and now I can't log into minecraft.

Q: How do I prevent getting an Out of Memory error?

PacmanLPOften, when I join a game, I'm able to play for approximately 15 minutes before the game straight up crashes on me, telling me that there was an Out of Memory error. How do I fix this? I am on PC, not Mac.

 
5:11 PM
@JasonBerkan Do they do the Metro papers?
 
I don't think so. But I do agree that local is the key. There are local writers that I will pay money to read.
 
the problem for newspapers is the problem they were created to solve, no longer exists
but for some reason they think they're still relevant, like computers (the people) and typewriters
 
@djsmiley2k Not really. People still want news. It's just that it's so much easier to get now, and so many different ways to get it.
 
and type setters, and sign painters
exactly @Wipqozn
news is easy to get now
 
and just better ways to get it than a piece of paper
 
5:14 PM
the problem is solved
hense they are dying out
also dying out: hand held calculators and VHS
but those companies have moved on, why wont news papers?
 
@djsmiley2k Because moving onto a new way of doing things is hard?
I mean they're not going to just go "well, we're still making money, and we employ 200+ people, but let's just shut down"
No that's dumb. Newspapers are trying to survive by delivering there news via the internet now instead of the paper.
 
@Wipqozn Ends on Sunday.
 
I mean they're still a news company, just the delivery method has changed. They just need to find new ways of delivering the same quality of news via a modern era method.
@Fluttershy cool, thanks
 
yeah but they whine and bitch about it so much
And it seems to not need 200+ people
so maybe they need to think about downsizing
 
@djsmiley2k They are
Every newspaper is downsizing
I can tell you this, once again, as someone who works at a newspaper
@djsmiley2k I can't really address this without more details on what "they" are whining about.
 
5:19 PM
Not making enough money it seems :S
 
@djsmiley2k Okay, well that's kind of expected then. No one is going to cheer for decreasing profits.
 
Ok
but you could do a nintendo
'welp things are turning to shit, lets make computers!'
or a yahoo 'Well search is dying, lets go slowly bust!'
 
@djsmiley2k Texas Instruments selling graphing calculators for the price of a small mortgage would like to disagree with you.
 
@djsmiley2k They're trying to do a nintendo right now.
They're till focusing on making news, they're just trying to change how they product and deliver that news.
 
@Yuuki yah, and there's specialist typewriters too, etc... I know, but only for a small and specialist audience.
 
5:22 PM
> small and specialist audience
> Everyone in a high school math class
 
@Wipqozn while continuing to make sure everyone knows the old version is the best version
 
I mean my company has had a strike going on for over a year due to A) Downsizing B) Changing how the newsroom works
 
@Yuuki I didn't need a calculator at school, is that a thing now?
@Wipqozn a strike?
 
@djsmiley2k They're not required but some content including homework problems involve using the graphing functionality.
 
@Yuuki and one of the really expensive ones, at that?
rly?
 
5:23 PM
Plus they're allowed on the SAT.
 
I never did that stuff :(
 
@djsmiley2k In some cases, yes. You honestly can't paint them all with the same brush. Like in my company, there are those people makingt he stupid "herp derp but the newspaper is jesus" decisions. But there are also folks that are like "okay digital is the future, need to focus on that".
 
Update: We're in the 4th hour of the website being down. https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/829719280312778754
lol, c'mon
 
@Wipqozn stick with the future guys,.
 
It's taking a while, but more and more folks are coming around to digital
Just that you can't just stop making the newspaper, or you'd suddenly go bankrupt. That's still where most of the money comes from.
 
5:25 PM
is how i imagine newspaper offices
 
@djsmiley2k It's really not, tbh
The burning is totally accurate
 
good good
 
but the dog mostly isn't
 
They know there's a problem, just figuring out the best way to fight the fire
 
5:26 PM
erm ok
 
I mean SOME people are that dog, but not all
 
it's been a problem for like 10 yrs
 
@djsmiley2k yeah, and my company has been really slow to adapt.
 
I mean, it's not a terribly easy problem to solve. "Just put everything on the Internet" isn't really a silver bullet.
 
they're not the only ones.
 
5:27 PM
@Yuuki Exactly.
 
@Yuuki oh agree
the problem is, the original problem has gone away
so they need a new problem to fight
'People don't have access to news' is no longer a problem
now, there is 'People don't have access to well verified, good quality news' - but will they pay for it....?
 
That's never been the problem, really.
 
will it pay enough to fund the business.
 
Well, it's the problem from the consumer standpoint.
 
So far the most confusing part of Nioh is that it just starts you playing, and occasionally pops up stuff like "Press L1 and X to dodge!", then does a tutorial after about 30 minutes of gameplay teaching you all the stuff you already had to learn to get that far, plus maybe 10% more stuff, and then the first "real" mission in the game does the popup thing all over again in certain spots LONG AFTER YOU'D ALREADY NEED TO KNOW IT
 
5:28 PM
@Yuuki is that not why a newspaper exists?
 
But from the producer standpoint, the problem has always been "how do we get people to pay for news".
Because back in the days of the newspaper, you could always get news for free by word of mouth.
 
i was wondering 'stay for news? wut'
 
Or tune into the radio.
 
erm
there was a time before radios
and electricity
 
> word of mouth
 
5:29 PM
that you can't beat
 
@Sterno Crazy kids
 
Pictures? Better descriptions than what someone who is just talking says?
the ability to catch up at your own pace?
 
Anyone here watch Haven?
Or watched?
 
hmmmmmmmmm
i want some internet routing walkie talkies
for my daughter
D:
 
@Sterno Are you using the bonus armor you get for preordering?
 
5:35 PM
@Fluttershy For about 10 minutes. Too heavy

Q: how can i find the cultists in terraria

creepergamingI have defeated skeletron prime, the twins, destroyer, plantera, and golem, but still no luck finding the cultists at the dungeon. I even made a new world and did the same thing but still no cultists at the dungeon.

 
@Sterno That's what I noticed as well. The red armor is quite a bit lighter, but I'm still not sure what my equip should be to maximize effectiveness.
 
It seems to be <30% for max movement
 
error PRJ0002: Error result 31 returned from 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe'
WHY!?
 
@Sterno Alright. Thanks! What weapon are you using?
 
5:38 PM
Sword, mostly. Forget which exact one. I mean, I keep upgrading.
 
I'm wondering if I need to redo my choices at the start. I went Kusarigama, Dual Sword, shark spirit thing. So it's +1 Dex/Skill/Spirit. And I'm not sure skill is useful for me...
 
local merging is so confusing, what directory am I supposed to be in?
why don't you tell me GitLab!?
sometimes I just want to challenge digital things to a boxing match
 
I mean, I doubt the +1 matters that much in the scheme of things
I'm somewhere around level 15-20, and so far I've got most of my points in Heart (for swords), but 1 point in body (because I keep finding gear that needs 6 body) and 11 in Spirit (for spirit bonding bonuses)
I think one or two points in magic too so I could cast some spell I wanted
 
@Sterno You're probably right... I'm only level three, too, so it should be easy enough to fix what needs fixing.
 
Pretty much I have no idea what I'm doing when leveling
 
5:44 PM
I think there's even a respec item.
 
Pro tip: You can scroll the skill screen and there are a ton more skills than it first appears
 
Slow is super overpowered in this game, too.
 
I mean, I'm probably the only dummy that didn't know that right away, but...
 
@Wipqozn and pretty much anyone else... What platform are you going to play the For Honor beta on?
 
F--K YOU, REFERENCES
 
5:50 PM
if you think wikipedia forking is bad, just check uscis.gov
 
@Fluttershy PC
 
@Fluttershy 3DS
 
yo momma.
 
@Fluttershy Abacus.
 
wait, is that banned now?
 
5:55 PM
@djsmiley2k urmom is banned now
 
ah, that's different, right? ;/
 
I always feel weird about saying something's banned.
Dunno. Might be the Texas libertarian streak in me.
 
@Yuuki I always feel weird about saying your face/urmom is banned.
 
@Chippies You always feel weird about saying your face/urmom is banned.
 
What's the difference between a Texas libertarian and a Regular libertarian?
 
5:56 PM
@Yuuki well, I mean, it is a kinda weird thing to say
 
@Unionhawk I meant more that Texans seem to naturally have a libertarian streak.
 
so I finally decided I'll try For Honor Beta and it turns out it's missing 1gb of data...
 
Except for those damn fools in the state Congress that seem to insist on limiting local governing.
 
it seems that their download servers aren't completely destroyed yet, so the speed is quite acceptable
 
They recently passed a bill that would allow them to defund local governments that refused to serve federal orders on immigration.
 
5:59 PM
Yep
Ohio is considering a statewide ban on such things as well
 
@Yuuki big state government most libertarian state government?
 
To which I say CINCINNATI WILL FIGHT YOU
 
@Unionhawk @Yuuki :|
 
And before someone says "but you gotta follow the law", the difference here is that local police departments were being ordered to do ICE's job for them.
 
For Honor just seems boring to me
