1:00 PM
what kind of learning are we talking about
 
How to make this Windows application run on a Linux system
 
they want you to port something from Windows to Linux in 2 days.
 
NEXT Friday my friend
 
@twobugs Rope someone else in to help you. Why should your company let one person fail when they can let two people fail spectacularly?
 
So slightly more than 2 days
@MBraedley I've been designated the expert since I used Linux briefly in college
 
1:01 PM
@twobugs OH THAT IS PLENTY OF TIME
 
@twobugs Pro-tip: never be "designated" the expert. Assume the role of your own volition.
 
So far I think the most important lesson I've learned is "Hey do you know anything about ____?" the answer is always "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO"
 
"Enough to be dangerous" is sometimes acceptable (but can also backfire)
 
@MBraedley "good, we need a dangerous man for a dangerous story: port this thing in 7 days"
 
If I succeed I'll probably have some job security at least
 
1:05 PM
@twobugs I hope your head is not on the ilne for this
 
A contract is apparently. So maybe
 
who the fuck sells a Linux port in under two weeks
 
I'm purposely not thinking about that part of it

Q: Dota 2 Hotkey problem

LuntriI am using legacy keys. I have set my item key bindings to legacy (numpad keys) + quickcasts are set as presented above. Yet I still have ZXCVVBN keys bound as item keys, the chat wheel resets to Y key, which makes a lot problems especially when playing invoker which in legacy mode uses V for g...

 
What language are you using?
 
1:10 PM
The bulk of this is written in C/C++ as far as I know
 
what. the. fuck.
 
So it could be much, much worse
 
That is the worst case scenario
 
Oh. I guess it couldn't be worse
Well at least I have another week of employment!
 
I guess the question is, does it run under wine?
 
1:11 PM
With any luck there aren't any OS dependant things in there. I'm assuming it isn't a GUI app.
 
Well according to a guy who is never here when I need to talk to him he already has it like 95% running he just needs my help for the finishing touches
 
oh okay, that sounds a little bit less like this pear
 
is this Mr. Epic Dumb Friend Who Is Dumb
 
If there's mutexes, sockets, or threads, and they don't run on top of an OS abstraction layer, then you're in for a world or hurt.
 
1:13 PM
@badp No or I would be dead
 
@Wipqozn I'm not on the last Wheel of Time book! :o
 
@Fluttershy I'm pretty sure you are
 
Okay we're not off to a great start
 
Luckily the standard library has come a long way in that regard over the past 5 years.
 
"Set PLATFORM to Linux-4.6"
Okay, I know how to do that!
"PLATFORM NEEDS TO BE SET BY YOUR .BASH SCRIPT"
Oh... I guess I don't...
 
1:16 PM
@twobugs Okay download boost. It will solve all your problems. (Note: boost is not guaranteed to solve all problems.)
 
@Fluttershy or not. Second to last. My bad.
 
I have Boost!
 
4.6? what is that program going to run on?
 
MY BAD BRO, MY BAD
 
the latest Ubuntu "still" has 4.4
 
1:16 PM
@Fluttershy So, now that you're 13 books in, how would you rate the Wheel of Time series?
 
and it came out two months ago
 
We're using Ubuntu and I was told this is supposed to be 4.6. Excellent
 
oh my looks like you like it based on godread ratings
MY WORD
@Fluttershy is a huge fangirl now
being all "I sure do love me some heel of time"
 
In 2.5 hours I will be a house owner for exactly two years.
 
@Arperum That's pretty cool
 
1:18 PM
@Wipqozn As long as said heel is not wearing your socks, I'd count that as a win.
 
@Fluttershy so, I got to the fourth floor for the first time yesterday, and I didn't immediately die either!
 
@Arperum On a scale of "Don't buy a house" to "Never buy a house", how would you rate your home ownership?
 
@MBraedley "Fuck Belgium, but owning a house is pretty cool"
 
@twobugs the good news is that the specific kernel version is likely irrelevant to you
so you can ignore that
 
1:20 PM
Right, I'm just confused why we set it to 4.6 and why this jam refuses to run when I set it to 4.6 like commanded
 
advice may be invalid due to relying on 4.6-specific things such as ?????
 
@MBraedley There is also the part "Ohgodwhydoeseverythingcostssomuch?"
 
@Arperum Yep, still going through that part myself
 
I have to communicate with the other dev via Skype since he's working from home today
Which is wonderful because Skype
 
@MBraedley I got the bill for turning my electricity from a "BLATANT FIRE HAZARD" to "this shit should not burn your house down" (doing at least 80% of it myself or done by my parents). I don't like the numbers on it.
 
1:23 PM
We are jamming
Possible despair due to much failing
 
are they not the best numbers?
 
A couple hundreds of meters of electricity cable + covers + new fuses + new fuseboxes + actual grounding + more stuff turns into a lot of money that will be leaving my possession shortly.
@KevinvanderVelden Too many numbers.
 
@Wipqozn There ya go. :P Also, I've been really enjoying the books. Books 4-7 were a bit of a slog, but everything has been moving forward, and I like a lot of the characters.
 
I should reread WoT
 
@Wipqozn Woo! I've been to the fourth floor boss once. It didn't go well for me.
 
1:26 PM
also i've finished the reckoners series, it's pretty good
 
@Fluttershy I've barely entered the second floor five times or something. never got to the bosses on that floor
 
@Fluttershy wait a second. So you're saying I may soon go further than you? MY WORD. This motivates me even more.
Be prepared to hear smug bragging once I beat the fourth floor @Fluttershy
 
@Wipqozn MyBodyIsReady.jpg
 
Now I'm imagining @Fluttershy as Reggie
Well it's still not building but PROGRESS
 
1:42 PM
AND POP GOES THE COMMIT
 
In other news, to combat the Flint water crisis the state gave out water filters. Data is coming out that a sizable portion of these filters are non-functional or not adequately functioning
 
Is anyone actually surprised?
 
@twobugs It's always nice to hear of first world countries dealing with third world problems
 
Our governor is using tax payer money to hire a defense team to protect him from criminal charges
I can sort of get why you'd want this, but it doesn't come off well
 
It really doesn't look good at all.

Appliances

Proposed Q&A site for troubleshooting and repairing household appliances

Currently in definition.

 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Is this really necessary?
 
Yes. Absolutely
 
The questions are off-topic for DIY I think, so at least it's not an overlap

Q: I cant seem to find the hallow in hardmode?

StephenDragonSlayerI killed the wall of flesh got to hard mode but now cannot find the hallow any answers?

 
Whether it'd end up making a good site is another story
 
1:51 PM
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment My gut feeling screams that this thing is going to turn into a huge pile of spam if it would happen.
 
@TimStone ...Huh
That's interesting
 
I'm a bit worried about the health implications. Pregnancy is a very stressful thing, both physically and mentally.
 
2:06 PM
Yeah, seems like it would have been an odd conversation too
 
@TimStone I... best... wishes?
 
@badp You thought were weren't supporting 4.6 because 4.4 is the newest thing? You naive fool
We're actually supposed to be using 4.7
 
no no no
4.7 is probably the newest thing, but it's not on Ubuntu yet
even Ubuntu 14.10 is still on 4.4 so far
 
4.7 is what we're supposedly using
 
2:09 PM
On Ubuntu
 
I guess someone installed it for you
 
I am aware you are speaking logically, but that is your downfall!
 
why do you think I fled consultancy

Q: Sid Meier's Pirates! Steam version crashes due to pure virtual function call?

Rome_LeaderI used to love Sid Meier's Pirates! and had a physical copy of the game I sadly misplaced. In a Steam sale a year or so ago, I bought a virtual copy, but have only recently gotten around to playing it. I experience a crash due to a pure virtual function call, always within the first 30-60 minutes...

 
Haha the fix is apparently rename the 4.7 to 4.6
 
2:12 PM
wait
wait wat
 
IT'S SORT OF WORKING
 
@TimStone The extra confusing part is that she'd be getting donor sperm, so it wasn't even like she had a partner she originally intended to have children with. Very confusing
 
current @twobugs status
 
That's shockingly accurate
I wonder who will be playing the part of the Wizard
 
@badp That's a mouse, not a bug
 
2:13 PM
@twobugs status in the very near future
that was what the joke
 
Okay well the problem here now is jam thinks the boost hpps are fuct
 
googles jam c++
oh
oooooh
ooh
 
Okay yeah the renaming doesn't work
Thank god
That would have seriously pissed me off
 
good morning bridge
 
what int he heck is going on
I deleted all the code
but it's all working
tht shit don't make no sense
 
2:25 PM
clearly your code was the problem.
it makes sense.
 
like the server should be crashing and going "what even the fuck" right now
 
code has bugs. deleted code. has less bugs.
 
@Wipqozn i would blame caching. it seems like a safe bet
 
@Dragonrage I'd prefer to blame Tim stone
 
That would just be silly
 
2:28 PM
okay well, fuck dah police
 
@Ash I'm catching up!
 
I'm going to wipe my entire /var/ww/html directory
ALL OF IT
and then start over
that'll show my production server whose boss!
(but it's just my local jokes I swear)
 
Did you check your production server after you deleted code? Just sayin'
 
I've been meaning to clean it up anyays since it's a mess
@TimStone ....
yes just now
and it worked
 
Whew
 
2:30 PM
there we go
that's what we want to see!
...now I need to reinstall wordpress...fuck
damn it @TimStone you sabotaged me!
I REGRET NOTHING
 
eheheh

Q: Simulating PS4's DualShock 4 Controller?

Zhang HanShengRecently I started playing the new Project DiVA game, however this time the player has to play hundreds times to unlock all the unlockables. I was thinking if there is any way to use my Teensy to automate this process. Tried reading all wiki pages related but had no luck

 
@TimStone YOU WIN THIS TIME
oh, that thing I have tonight isn't a BBQ
This changes everything
Now I need to eat before I go, thus changing everything
 
@Wipqozn So now you'll end up being late?
 
@Wipqozn Sushi
 
2:39 PM
@Arperum nah
@twobugs nah, going to make a chicken sandwich with stir fried veggies on the side
At least that's what I'll probably do.
 
@Wipqozn Sushi
 
@twobugs You have excellent taste sir, but I'm not planning to get take out today. Going to pick up one of those chickens from costco so I have it for a few days.
 
you know what's really fun with languages that don't distinguish between strings and numbers
producing JSON
 
@Wipqozn ಠ_ಠ
Google Calendar is down so clearly all obligations are cancelled
 
@TimStone such a good and lazy deal
it's, like 2 cents for 10 years worth of food, it's crazy
CRAZY I SAY
 
2:49 PM
I'm pretty sure that a take out chicken is still take out :P
 
I think the last time I got a rotisserie chicken I ate it in like one day
That was years ago, though
 
@TimStone nah man
 
Ahah, the file in our versioning system called RELEASE_BRANCH was not actually the release branch
Progress continues!

Q: How do I find Wyvern mutagens?

kittenchopsI need Wyvern mutagens for a decoction. I understand that with normally spawned wyverns they are randomly dropped, but are there any areas that there is a higher chance of receiving one, or any that are received as a part of a quest?

Q: Is there a way to build a ps4 or Xbox One Arcade stick?

BigElittlesSo I'm wondering if anyone knows of a USB driver that will let me build an arcade stick similar to the mad cats fight stick. I love playing on arcade sticks but I cant justify spending 200$ on a controller that has less than 50$ worth of parts in it. Any information is appreciated.

 
I have about $5 on Steam in my Steam wallet
Anything interesting this Steam sale I should get?
 
I have about €15
 
@badp All from cards?
 
maybe also a refund
yeah, €2 are a refund for Hatoful Boyfriend
 
3:04 PM
You weren't satisfied with your pigeon datin'?
 
@twobugs He's too coo for that
 
the options menu was inadequate
 
@PrivatePansy groan
 
@PrivatePansy I'm going to allow it
4 days until Juno arrives at Jupiter!

Q: How can I teleport entities relatively to another area?

iDoomfullI will try to be more explicit , this time using drawing : http://imgur.com/GLJiygO It's there a posibility to teleport enities (the X marks) from a place no another, but to remain relatevely in the same spots, like in the drawing? Please dont downvote, I really tried to be explicit with this p...

Q: Can I see how many enemy troops remain mid-battle?

D34DM347When I get caught in a massive siege, with many hundreds of attackers, it would be really nice to check on the number of enemies remaining to fight during the battle. Can this be done?

 
Some recruiter just sent me an email with memes...
wat
 
@Yuuki Okay, I guess recruiters CAN get more annoying
 
user15026
@Yuuki it's like the buzzfeed of recruitment.
 
@Yuuki what the fuck
 
user15026
Some guy here is screaming about how it will be Halloween in 5 days and he is going to get all the candy
 
user15026
3:37 PM
It's not even July. I don't understand.
 
he's a time lord.
his tardis is broken, he thinks it's october
 
@Ash Uh...
 
The memes are making me really hesitant about replying, but at the same time, I need a job.
 
do you really think he is going to get you a job you want?
your job will be writing headlines for buzzfeed
 
Does he look like this?
 
3:39 PM
You could just come live in Philly and work for me. I would never meme and employee
 
i hate that guy. so smug. but it's all an act. WE'RE ONTO YOU MR "NOT FOUND"
 
@TimStone Got an opening?
 
I guess that partly depends on what you want to be doing, but probably. :P
 
@TimStone but you meme and bridge
 
@Ash I had a discussion like this with a coworker once
 
3:40 PM
dude, he doesn't even work for you yet already with the sexual harassment?
 
"Hey, when's cinco de mayo coming up?"
Me: "It's the 5th of May"
"Oh. So, when's that?"
Me: ".........The 5th of May."
 
@twobugs after the 4th of may
 
(He thought it was May. It was March. Even then it doesn't make sense)
 
@TimStone At this point, as long as I can make a living with it and it involves my degree (in that order of priority), I'm okay with it.
 
@Yuuki so being a hitman for the mafia at 170k$ a year would be fine?
:P
 
3:43 PM
@Dragonrage I could buy so many IotMs with that money...
 
yea, 170k$ a year is a lot of money
i wouldn't mind making that
 
@Yuuki Did you opt for a degree in Monster Hunter, or?
 
@TimStone I guess Computer Science is technically a degree in Monster Hunter by virtue of hunting down Seltas bugs.
 
@Yuuki Internet of things Machetes?
 
@twoseltas
 
3:45 PM
@twobugs @twoseltasonequeen?
 
:hamstare:
 
@Yuuki Any definite passes or preferences on languages?
 
Neat, the 538 official election forecast is up
 
Does it just predict "DOOM"?
 
user4704
Dammit Alaska, I used to think you were cool.
 
3:52 PM
@TimStone Outside of Objective-C, I don't think so.
 
@JoshPetrie Is this a global warming joke
 
@JoshPetrie they are pretty cool. mostly due to how far north they are
 
And most of my experience has been with Java and C#.
And messing around with Python.

But I'm up for learning stuff.
 
@Unionhawk Right now, odds are about 3 to 1 in favor of Hillary
 
@Yuuki Hmm, well we make a Java web application (...but not horrible Java, acceptable Java) for a pretty obscure purpose, so if that is potentially interesting I could see what I could do?
 
@TimStone Is acceptable the highest level java goes to?
Or is there a good level?
HMM
 
3:55 PM
 
Food
Driving is not an option for reasons
 
Java 8 is good-ish, but we're at 7 for the moment until I can get approval to bump the runtime at one of our clients
 
@Unionhawk i think acceptable just is a euphemism for not quite as terrible as most java
 
I need to decide on a lunch thing
 
@TimStone I think our java stuff is Java 6 probably
I wouldn't know, our application is .NET
 
3:56 PM
@Unionhawk same for me.
 
8 is good-ish because it has lambdas, but still no properties or multiline strings like C# has
Luckily the templates are written in Scala so there's that
 
@TimStone properties are so good
The day I learned about properties was the day my entire programming worldview changed
 
@twobugs yuusssssssssssss
 
I also love that they predict that Gary Johnson will get 0.8 votes
 
texas used to be a solid red, now it is light pink
 
4:00 PM
I enjoy the hex grid of electoral votes
 
yeah that is a cool visualization
 
@GodEmperorDune Trump is very polarizing in Texas.
I'll have to look it up, but I don't think there are many Texas politicians that have declared support for Trump.
 
> Clinton landslide double-digit popular vote margin 35.3%
 
@Yuuki they don't want to piss off the latinos
 
everybody loves trump
 
4:02 PM
@GodEmperorDune Pretty much.
 
and trump loves everybody* ** ***
*conditions apply **offer not available in every state ***offer void outside the united states
 
Part of GWB's rise to prominence was very much due to the Latino vote.
 
@Unionhawk he has a great relationship with "the blacks" including "his african american"
@Yuuki yeah in hindsight bush was really good at not being racist

Q: Does Zunimasa 6 set bonus affect sacrifice?

Jim ThioIt says that we have 1500% damage. Pet does 1500 % damage. Does that work with sacrifice? Will sacrifice, that does 1000% damage do 1500% damage on top of that? So sacrifice would do 10x15x = 150 x your damage.

Q: Identify moto racer arcade game?

Jaime Vaca GutierrezI have exhausted Google and Wikipedia resources, trying to find the name of this arcade game. It is a moto racer, with a TOP point of view. I remember the 3 first stages, which are: a city, a desert, a cherry blossom field. At some point of the race, you could jump into a cargo truck and drive ...

 
HMM
cheap lunch, or panera
that is the question
inb4 qdoba
 
4:16 PM
@Unionhawk ><
 
You're too predictable
It's like inb4ing @spugsley
whenever @spugsley enters, you have approximately half a second to inb4
 
inb5 @Unionhawk inb4s @spugsley
 
its not my fault that qdoba is amazing and always a good pick for food
 
Enter the gungeon. Buy or no buy cc@Wipqozn
 
@arda I imagine it's a buy if you like dungeon-crawling bullet hell games.
Like Binding of Isaac.
 
4:20 PM
@GodEmperorDune driving is currently not a viable option
So I'm limited to walking distance
 
@arda for some reason i always read that as "enter the gungan" and thought it was a terrible episode 1 spin off
@Unionhawk qdoba is worth the walk
 
@Unionhawk you should just make lunch nd bring it
 
@Yuuki I like boi but I find it very slow and not rewarding enough, the reviews say that every run is rewarding and stuff.
 
I should, but on the other hand, I got a dollar an hour raise, so I can spend up to 8 on lunch and still make more money
 
@Unionhawk except taxes
 
4:22 PM
Eh
Approximately then
 
Oh, I meant to ask @Yuuki, are you trying to relocate, or you wanted something remote?
 
but grats on your raise
 
@TimStone I'm totally okay with relocating.
 
also to whoever linked the disney emoji youtube yesterday, i have the Aladdin songs stuck in my head now. thanks @Wipqozn
 
@Yuuki Alright, cool. I'll mention it later and let you know. I (hopefully) talked my way out of interviewing someone just yesterday, but I can flip-flop :P
 
4:24 PM
@arda You should buy it and send it to me
 
@SaintWacko oh I would
 
@TimStone Thanks a bunch. I really hope I'm good enough, I'll take a look at Play in the meantime.
 
People here make me throw tables on an almost daily basis so as long as you learn from experience and ask when you think you're in over your head instead of yolo'ing you'd likely be fine. But we'll see! ;)
 
@TimStone yoloswag2012

4:30 PM
@Dragonrage YOLOPHP
 
@Unionhawk Who are you, that recruiter who emailed me in the morning?
 
I am no mere recruiter
I am a KING

TBH, it's way better than the Avicii/Maroon 5 mashup
 
GITHUB DOWN
WOOOOOOO - edit its bck :(
Slacktime
 
Google Calendar is still down though. Fun times, fun times
 
@Unionhawk unionhawk -> unihawk -> uniking -> unikorn ->unicorn
'@UNIONHAWK IS A UNICORN: DATA ACCEPTED`
 
(sigh) At least the system is working for our customer...
It might not allow them to work with their partners, though.
 
4:57 PM
@TimStone "we accidentally all of your events forever, sorry"
 
Oh, it's okay now
Shame, I'd love to never have a meeting again
