Cool.

I can't think of a thing I like enough to have permanently tattooed on me.

looks kinda like a tetris peiuce

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria ITG with a circle and a line through it. :P

spugsley

@StrixVaria I figure that even if something loses it's interest, it's a throw back to something I really loved and will remind me of a time in my life that I loved that thing. Also I try to pick stuff that has actual meaning. Like, yeah, my latest is Avatar related but it's also the elements which symbolizes balance. And it looks hella cool. I figure even if I don't like Avatar 30 years from now, I'll still appreciate the idea

and if not, there will be hella good lasers by then so whatev

StrixVaria

@spugsley That's something I've considered.

Even if I don't like it forever, I like it now and the tattoo will still be relevant to my life.

spugsley

@StrixVaria that's exactly how I feel.

I won't regret them. If someone asks me about it decades from now I will say, "Let me tell you a story about a nerdy twenty-something girl." and I'll be that annoying old lady that loves to talk about my past

@djsmiley2k yup, some of it was tingly in a good way. Though my fingers went numb early on which was weird and annoying for 2.5 hours.

my first one was on the right side of my right forearm. I love it. It's a small script. Concealable with long sleeves though Kat Von D makes a hella good tat concealer that conceals the shit of ink

MBraedley

Reading the version control section of this maintenance plan doc is making me really wish we had switched to git or mercurial 1-2 years ago. It's talking about making branches! In SVN!

Tim Stone

ABORT ABORT!

MBraedley

And then merging them!

It's not the branch that kills you, it's the merge at the end!

Tim Stone

20:30

Did they leave room in the plan for crying?

MBraedley

@TimStone Unfortunately, no, it doesn't look like it.

Tim Stone

Monsters

Jason Berkan

@MBraedley Don't merge. Just manually update every branch with every change until the end of time.

djsmiley2k

@MBraedley ITS A TRAP!

MBraedley

@JasonBerkan I've had some success with merging a branch back into the trunk in the past, but it's always been more painful than it should have been. And this was also in relative isolation, touching only a small part of the code base.

@djsmiley2k My hope is that I'll only be 50% (if that) on the project when the time comes to do this sort of thing.

Jason Berkan

20:36

I've never had to do a lot of branching / merging, but whenever I did do it, it really seemed like it was primarily a manual process.

MBraedley

> This subversion tool is a versioning and revision control system that keeps track of the history of all changes performed on the <project> development files used to build all <project> applications.

HA!

murgatroid99

@JasonBerkan git at least is quite good at automatic merging, and only makes you do it manually when there is an actual conflict

Jason Berkan

@murgatroid99 Yeah. For whatever reason (small codebase?), the merges I've been involved in have always had a lot of conflict.

MBraedley

@JasonBerkan In the previous branch merges I've done, I've had to approve all files that require a merge, even if the auto merge did the right thing, which happened most of the time. I rarely had any actual conflicts.

murgatroid99

@JasonBerkan It sounds like you have multiple people working on the same parts of the same files at the same time. Which generally sounds like a bad idea

Matt Giltaji

20:42

@murgatroid99 mercurial has been good at automerging for me as well

murgatroid99

@MattGiltaji I've never used mercurial, so I don't know

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 Sometimes, even on only a medium size team, that's hard to avoid.

Jason Berkan

@murgatroid99 That is exactly what happened. Sometimes it is unavoidable, due to business requirements.

murgatroid99

Maybe I'm just lucky, then: different members of my team are primarily responsible for completely disjoint parts of the codebase.

Jason Berkan

My current project is a website where the changes get moved to production so rapidly that branches aren't really necessary.

StrixVaria

20:48

@murgatroid99 This is generally also a sign of well-designed, modular code. If the code base is in a worse state, splitting up team member responsibility gets...impossible.

Frank

Burn

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria It seems to me, though, that you should at least be able to not have 2 people modifying the same line of code at the same time. With merge conflict resolution, it's probably not even more efficient than making the changes sequentially

badp

@MBraedley convert to git locally before the merge

merge in git

use the output

the great thing about DVCS is you don't have to get your whole team on-board

it can be your little naughty secret

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 The combination of poorly designed code and medium-to-larger-sized teams makes it logistically very difficult to avoid this in some cases.

I speak from experience at my old job.

badp

@StrixVaria as soon as I get up to speed in my team, this'll happen all the time as there's two of us working on the same class or set of classes.

Of course the system we're using "facilitates" this sort of use by letting you acquire locks on files in advance.

Jason Berkan

20:52

Locking files is brutally inefficient.

badp

@JasonBerkan ...and where people don't do it, this happens instead

Q: How can I check out every file in a Serena Dimensions-tracked project to the last revision before a timestamp?

Say two software projects are interacting. Project A introduces breaking changes on February 1st, but those are considered a bug. As a result, people working on Project B are told to stop updating — of course, however, it's already too late. Well, I'm in team B. If we were using a... traditional...

10 days and this has happened twice

Jason Berkan

That user icon looks suspiciously familiar....

MBraedley

@badp No merging needs to be done right now (although I did start a branch about a couple of months ago that will need to be merged in at some point), so I'm not too concerned. It's all the down the road stuff (and current stuff) that would have been orders of magnitude easier had we switched to a DVCS at the beginning of this dev cycle.

@MBraedley the longer you wait the worse it'll be, even with git

Yuuki

20:58

So Evolve has $130 worth of DLC not covered by its season pass.

Granted, a lion's share of these are skins and cosmetic content.

MBraedley

@badp It can't be merged, it's not ready, among other (stupid) reasons.

StrixVaria

@Yuuki I am honestly blown away that this isn't an EA release.

Blem

@badp are you playing with mainfraims?

badp

@Blem nope.

@MBraedley You don't have to publish the result of the merge.

Frank

Apparently the new S2 Monk exclusive is going to so break Monks.

MBraedley

21:00

@badp It's... complicated

StrixVaria

@Frank I think I've settled on Monk for S2 (not knowing anything about season-specific items).

badp

Take the work that's been done on the "public" branch and merge it in your working directory.

Blem

in a good or a bad way @Frank?

Yuuki

Frank

@Blem In a good way.

Gungdo Gear gets a monk specific affix:

StrixVaria

21:02

@Frank Is it a set or some specific legendary?

Q: Help for JC2MP Survival

I play Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Survival Server a lot, and many people seem to know the location of glitched loot or Topachula attack helicopters(The ones with missiles and miniguns) Anyone who could help me with this will be greatly appreciated. Xtra points: How do I use a Stash Hacker in that ...

just-cause-2 just-cause-2-multiplayer

MBraedley

@badp That's what my working directory is right now. I have a separate checkout for the other branch. But I'm not allowed to merge the branch back because of reasons (some of which are legitimate).

StrixVaria

It sounds good, but still not as stupid as the 6-set Firebird's bonus.

Frank

21:02

This would've been insanity before they nerfed EP.

StrixVaria

I don't see any other character of mine ever touching how stupid my S1 wizard is because of that set.

Frank

@StrixVaria Apparently in specific builds, with Sunwuko's four piece bonus, stuff just blows up.

badp

@MBraedley you don't have to publish the result of your merge

You can do the merge locally, for yourself.

Frank

A guy soloed a T6 grift in under a minute.

MBraedley

@badp No, I really can't.

StrixVaria

21:03

@Frank Grifts aren't affected by difficulty :P

badp

okay.

StrixVaria

Do you mean a T6 rift, or was it like a level 1 grift where he put it on T6 to be misleading?

Frank

@StrixVaria Oh, wait. You're right.

T6 rift.

StrixVaria

That's impressive, then.

Frank

He was doing 3-400 million crits.

StrixVaria

21:04

I don't know how stuff like that is done, because I can't even imagine what an upgrade for my wizard would look like, and I haven't really tried much over T4. I could probably do T5.

And no other character of mine, despite hundreds of hours of playtime, is even half as strong as the wizard.

Frank

I can do T6 on my non-season Monk.

But I'm super stubborn, and not following a popular build.

StrixVaria

I could probably do T6 on my current wizard, to be honest, if I went slowly and played carefully.

But that's not fun.

On T4 I just run past everything and kill it with DoTs.

I still don't know what an upgrade would even look like. Maybe I could get one ring slightly better.

Frank

If I can roll decent on my Sunwuko's amulet, I'll see how this build holds up.

Just wish I had more gems, as that's my current enchanting bottleneck.

The devs said they were going to do something about gem shortages; have they?

StrixVaria

I have over 300 of each Marquise gem.

I have over 500 of ones that aren't useful for Wizards.

I guess they have done something.

Frank

@StrixVaria I ran through all my topazes trying to get a decent roll on the ammy.

MBraedley

21:09

@Frank Making gems account bound is a problem. If they weren't account bound, I could have upgraded a bunch of the ones I have socketted already.

Frank

@MBraedley Blizzard is incredibly trading hostile now.

StrixVaria

Making all the things account-bound was really lame.

Frank

It's like they threw a tantrum when they removed the AH.

"Well, if you won't trade our way, you can't trade at all! How do you like them apples!?"

MBraedley

@Frank They wanted a piece of the grey market, and it blew up in their face.

Frank

@MBraedley And rather than try to fix it properly, they just shut it all down.

MBraedley

21:13

But even the economies of the gold-only auction house essentially made for a pay to ~~win~~ progress situation.

Frank

@MBraedley Yeah, I agree.

But they've made some good strides in helping that.

The whole BoA thing, though, means that the entire economy just died.

Q: What is the best shield for an anarchy spec Mechromancer?

So I started playing this game again recently having picked up some of the DLCs and I'm currently doing an anarchy mechromancer. From doing some reading it looks like the best gun to use is a redundant fibber, but what is the best shield for the build?

borderlands-2

Frank

@djsmiley2k Yay story?

MBraedley

I'd be happy if they reintroduced the AH for gems, dyes, and crafting material. Hell, transmog unlocks would be cool too, although I don't know how they'd manage that.

Frank

21:18

It starts off pretty slow, but it tends to get its hooks in you as you keep going.

and 'you can't grind to get better'

djsmiley2k

and the fact you can walk into some really hard encounters D:

I guess I'm just a bit lost and confused with the equipment etc too

Frank

@djsmiley2k You usually want to have Guard or Evade on every set. Beyond that, one strong physical attacker, and one magical give you a pretty good spread.

djsmiley2k

21:33

yup

thats what I got setup really

Frank

Knowing what to do for staggers also comes in super handy.

Jason Berkan

Staggering was one of the things I liked about the combat in XIII.

spugsley

@Yuuki doesn't matter. Still talks about it. That's triggering for some people.

@djsmiley2k this. So much this.

22:38

@djsmiley2k Because hate crime is a punishable offense.

It makes a difference legally.

@Yuuki ummmm murder is a punishable offense

@spugsley Hate crime is a separate punishable offense.

djsmiley2k

@Yuuki shooting 3 people dead isn't?

hmmm ah ok

errr... odd, but ok

oh you only murdered those people for the music they were playing, not their relgion, thats ok then!

Yuuki

22:40

And it will compound your sentence if you are found guilty of both counts. So let's make sure this is a hate crime before we call it one. I'm not saying it is or isn't. Let's just get our facts straight before we decide on things.

spugsley

@Yuuki you're missing my point. People can decide for themselves. I posted a trigger warning because it mentions those things.

Yuuki

I'm not saying you shouldn't have posted a trigger warning either.

So you're missing my point too. I'm saying that it has not been established beyond a reasonable doubt that this crime was committed such an intent.

On the other hand, it does seem very likely.

spugsley

either way, other sources are saying they've had run-ins with this guy before, that he has used hate speech (allegedly) and terrorized them by bringing up disputes with a gun obviously strapped to his side (allegedly)

we'll see how it plays out. Otherwise, it's very tragic. It happened in NC. I have a friend who goes to Chapel Hill. I thought I'd share what's happening in my corner of the world today

Yuuki

@spugsley Between that and the anti-Muslim thing down in Austin, I think you and I both have things covered on the "we live in sucky places" front.
