@Unionhawk Oh my goodness I realised in the original it's actually even weirder
It has no door to the master bedroom but does have a door into the hallway outside??
Did he also design the original house wtaf
 
the vanities on both sides and bath is the middle is a very questionable choice
lol is that his custom domain as an image host?
 
Yes, lol
 
thats the real "shout out to mark"
ok with these pics, i would've turned the 3 windows into a single giant window for much better lighting
 
@TimStone that's the worst thing about this, this is a regular bathroom! It's a pretty good one!
 
changed the 80s lightbulbs
change countertops to a single piece of stone instead of tile
and probably done a freestanding tub instead of that weird tile cube
 
12:49 AM
@Unionhawk Yeah but not putting a door to the master but having a door to the hallway is insanity
 
its a weirdly big master bath
 
One house we lived in had a setup like that, where there was an office at the top and a bedroom at the bottom and this shared bathroom in between
But obviously it had all those doors, which could get dumb if one got locked and left but otherwise sane
 
what was the rectangle with the oval in it?

4:52 AM
So, I have had an idea about asking for support for Minecraft mods - not specifically in relation to my experience, but more in general. Like "What can I do if Minecraft doesn't work with mods?" Like, a sort of "self help" Q/A, so instead of simply closing the questions, we can say "Off-topic, read this"
Would that be a possibility?
 
@Ben Didn't we just have a meta about that?
 
Ben
@Frank I know there were some meta discussions about it that led to closing due to there being too many things contributing to the issue, but I'm not sure outside of that

Q: Modded Minecraft questions are off-topic, but can we still help?

SteseThe sheer number of questions related to modded minecraft, seems to suggest to me that there is a gap in help for this subject, which I believe could be filled here. My question is could we do the following... We create a community question :- How can I get help for my modded minecraft problem...

 
Ben
If anything my ida was just like a sort of checklist. "Make sure you are using the right version of Minecraft, re-download the mod, turn off/on your mods one-by-one to see which one is causing the problem, ask the mod-maker for help"
@Frank Ah right.
Oh well. not every idea is a good one I guess
 
There's nothing wrong with trying to help.
And we tried. So hard.
 
Ben
4:59 AM
If anything, at this point a Minecraft-mod question should be it's own close reason, no? Rather than a custom one?
 
Iirc we only get so many slots or something
 
Ben
Ah fair enough
Ah well. As Frank said, we tried :)

Ryan_LIn Civilization 5, when the game ends and it displays the score screen ranking each civ by things like GDP, literacy, population, and army size, how is the population calculated?

Q: List of weapons and their stats

XtremeBaumerIn an preview for one of the recent updates I saw the new weapon HAVOC with their damage to torso/head, the RPM and some more values. Can you provide a list of the weapons in-game and their different stats? Assume all stats on a weapon without any augments and a naked target

@TimStone 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
 
I think there was a random event or a way to make people believe that the cure wasn't the cure
 
I still think the dumbest part of how the Antivaxx movement started was Andrew Wakefield's motivation for his study: he had developed a competing vaccine and wanted to discredit the existing vaccine. Problem is, did he honestly believe that anyone sufficiently misguided by his study to not trust the existing vaccine could then be convinced to take his vaccine? Like, antivaxxers don't take ANY vaccines, while Wakefield only tried to discredit the MMR vaccine
he did not think that through at all
 
@fredley feels like something the Cards Against humanity people would do
 
11:50 AM
Makes me want to create a 'dialup experience' chat, where you pay by the minute for access, and everything is throttled to 28.8k modem bandwidth.
You can pay double to only be throttled to 56.6k bandwidth
You can have free access, but you have to manually refresh the page, 14.4k bandwidth
 
You could make it like an incremental game, where you have to stay on to get "credits" and spend them as you talk, maybe per letter or something. Double for punctuation and a tax if you pass over 50 characters
Then you could buy to use emojis, or to delete someone else message

@fredley I'm sure an open XSS vulnerability is worth a few dollars
 
How long are js cryptominers?
Like, 50 characters?
 
You can insert a script tag into the page to load the actual code
It's just s = document.createElement('script'); s.src = '...'; document.body.appendChild(s)
 
@PrivatePansy Could probably be even easier if you host it with a similar filename as another file from a CDN used by the victim
like, maybe 1 character different, plus maybe a different SRI tag
 
document.write('<script src="...">') is even shorter but will delete everything on the page
 
@PrivatePansy I don't think that'll work, because browsers have a protection against inserting script tags like that
 
1:21 PM
They don't. You can try it yourself document.write('<script>alert("hello!")</script>')
You're probably thinking of setting window.location to javascript:...

lmao
> At the time of this week's update, a bug entered the game whereby a Twisted bow spawn was added close to the Farming Guild... As a result, an unknown number (we are working on this) of Twisted bows entered the game unfairly.
 
@PrivatePansy what's dangerous about crocodile signs near the sea?
 
@MattE.Эллен crocodiles
 
do they come up and harass you for being near their signs?
 
yea

fkn crocs. I ain't get no respect from a croc
 
lol they're doing a server rollback
Twisted bow is a very rare item from Raids 1, market value at last check of 1.2b

@Unionhawk Oh wow. Haven't done one of those in a long time
Man, I really wish Jagex would add an option to just get OSRS members for $5 a month
I'd do that
 
@MattE.Эллен Well unlike Florida we don't have stand your ground laws. Or gun. Or crocodile with guns (at least I hope we don't)
But the sign advises you not to feed the crocodile, then underneath it adds that doing so will net you a fine up to $5000
Which is hilarious

@SaintWacko July 2018 apparently (when the max cash stack bug was a thing chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/35?m=45620047#45620047 )
That one was amazing but it was at least like, kind of an odd scenario
more so than this
 
2:39 PM
@Unionhawk Thing is, the Max Cash stack bug is just an overflow bug AFAIK. That's something relatively easy to write tests for. However, how would you automate testing to not accidentally add an expensive item spawn to your world?
 
@Nzall I think it was behavior specific to pvp
 
@Unionhawk Still something you can write tests for: "if I kill someone in PVP who has goldcap and pick up the gold, what happens?"
 
the game was supposed to check for coin pouches (new to stop thieving bot stuff) and drop the appropriate amount of gold instead
This check apparently grabbed any stackable item though, and when it couldn't find an appropriate value, decided infinity was right
since like, if you pvp died with 1 guard gold pouch, you should drop 20, but if you pvp die with a knight of ardougne pouch, you should drop 50
I wouldn't think to negatively test that, personally
that pvp deaths with other items still work right
This, I can see how it made it past qa but how did it make it in, you know
any build at all
this doesn't seem like something you can do on accident
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, a good code review probably would have caught this. As in "hey, you added a random spawn for another item"
Only thing I can think of myself is to have something that checks on every build whether all items have the expected number of spawn points
but I'd assume that if you'd start working like that you're going to have a much longer build
 
maybe yeah, [test]Rule_DontSpawnRareItemsOutsideRaidsForFucksSake()
The anticheat team probably picked up on this pretty quick though
they said something about having all kinds of alerts roll in about players suddenly gaining a large amount of gp the last time they broke everything

3:21 PM
cc @Ash
 
@SaintWacko I might get it, still undecided. I don't enjoy Civ 6 as much as I did Civ 5 because there is a lot more city planning involved with regards to where you place districts and wonders, and I'm crap at that
Like, I used to play Civ 5 purely against the AI on the lowest difficulty and I was used to just building everything in every city at some point
with my workers on automate improvements and preferably playing Venice so every city beyond my capital was Puppeted
 
The one thing I really miss from Civ 4 is the city governors
Where you could just set the city to focus on a certain thing and it would automatically choose what to build for that
@Yuuki This is the best
 
@SaintWacko I thought Civ 6 got governors in the Rise & Fall expansion?
 
@Yuuki AFAIK those governors are just ways to give buffs to your city
 
@Yuuki Yeah, but they're a new thing now. They're actual "units" that you assign to cities and they give bonuses
In civ 4 it was just a part of each city

@Yuuki I love everything about this.
 
I guess it's good that the Anthem devs are listening to the community and making these improvements in short-order.
But the issue is that these problems were solved in previous games (Diablo 3, Destiny, etc.).
 
I feel like I'd enjoy Anthem
But that would require giving money to EA

@SaintWacko i like it, but only up to like Prince difficulty, idk how to deal with AI civs when they are above that level, mainly due to them having insanely faster production and research, and they start with so much free stuff

Bunch of locals saved a drowning dog. They warmed it up and took it to the vet. Dog was very friendly but it was a wolf.
 
but i thought you could just give a wolf some bones and it'll be your friend
 
imagine being that vet
like "this, isn't a dog but ok"
 
"Quick vet we have to save this dog"
Vet: *looks around* "Where?"
 
i can also see how they made the mistake, it looks a lot more doggy-like when it was still wet
once it dried out a bit, yea definitely a woffle
 
"locals" here appears to be "russia" though tbf
 
7:12 PM
@moonheart08 Need a better size comparison though because wolves are much bigger than doggos.
 
fair, i've never seen one up close, but now that i look closely, that bottle in the backround is less a waterbottle and more a big soda bottle
so yes, that's a big "doggo"
 
@Yuuki everything is bigger in Texas Russia
 
hi i'm from texas, everything is suprisingly small here
(Whoops, politics)
 
@moonheart08 from experience, your mountains are very small
 
what mountains
 
7:20 PM
@Dragonrage Yeah, we play on King difficulty, but I do wish they'd figure out how to make the AI actually smarter rather than just letting them cheat
 
@moonheart08 there are a few mountains in western texas, not especially large ones though
@SaintWacko yeah, its annoying when you get attacked on turn three with like 10 troops that are 2 eras ahead of you in technology and the ais already have 3 cities and youve just finished training your first settler
 
@Dragonrage Look, the rest of Texas is incredibly flat, they're trying their best.
 
besides
alaska is bigger than texas
shouldn't the saying be "everything is bigger in alaska"
 
Nah, since Alaska's bigger, it makes everything in it look smaller
 
but then shouldn't the saying be "everything is bigger in rhode island"

@Lazers2.0 Oh, I like the thought that 21 years is enough time for things to be out of copyright :/

They may be thinking patents which are 20 years iirc
 
user15026
@MBraedley It would be, yeah.
 
Yeah, if only

7:53 PM
they didn't (successfully?) lobby to extend it again this year at least.
 
@Ash erk, now that's a thought
Maybe it should go in the sea instead. Let the merfolk have it.
 
So just doing a quick search, software is considered literary work, and in most cases would be covered under the work for hire duration, which is either 95 or 120 years, depending.
 
literary work is probably also the correct classification for a game anyway
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog I figured if I had to be horrified at the idea someone else also did :P
 
Yeah, fair
 
7:59 PM
brb extending copyright to 1000 years
 
user15026
@MBraedley So....definitely still in copyright, then. :)
 
I mean, it's possible for a copyright holder to release something into the public domain ahead of time, or (more reliably) release it under a licence that is functionally equivalent to public domain...but I doubt Nintendo has done this.
 
The other option is life of the author plus 70 years, so yeah, still in copyright.
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog Yeah, I don't see that happening - they might not want to admit they exist but letting people touch it in that way is a whole other thing.
 
@ToxicFrog Open source and creative commons licenses are still reliant on copyright in order to enforce the terms of the license.
 
8:03 PM
Also, international copyright is weird.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Weird in what sense? (all of them is a valid answer, I was just curious if you noticed a particular weirdness)
 
@MBraedley yes, that's what I meant by "license that is functionally equivalent to public domain"
 
@Ash Just that most copyright law applies domestically, barring international treaties (which can get complicated).
And Nintendo is a Japanese entity.
 
@Yuuki ... which publishes games in the US (and other countries), and therefore US (and other country) copyright law applies.

glares at these files. When compiling a CBZ, it is NOT THAT HARD to make sure the files sort correctly!
 
hmm this syntactic sugar I have going on is Technically Correct but also Feels Gross
int rv = db.ExecuteScalar(cmd) as int? ?? -1 (assigns rv to the db result unless it's null, then give it -1)
I should probably just
throw the result in an object and if else it
instead of ? ??
 
More like syntactic salt, am I right?
 
resharper is suggesting (int?)result ?? -1 which
I'll allow it
I do expect to have to answer "why is that casting to int question" "because the result is literally an int question in that it either exists and is an int, or does not exist and returns null" in a code review but
 
8:27 PM
@Unionhawk I was curious about that myself
What does int? do?
 
Maybe[Int], I think -- a value that is either int or nothing.
I'm guessing C# differentiates between nullable and non-nullable types with the trailing ? rather than having a separate Maybe/Option type?
 
@SaintWacko nullable int
and ?? is a null coalescing operator, so that code will assign rv = result as a non-nullable int, or assign -1
 
string sane_syntax = is_syntax_sane() as string? ?? "Whats that?"
