It seems my gold resets to 0 every time I reach 100 coins. I can confirm this because I had 90 gold in my inventory and then sold something and my gold count changed to 12.

At one point earlier this year the network was just like "yeah, we love The Judge, but uh, we can't stand by these particular things he made up"

then they brought him back on like a week later

he is the law etc

@BlueBarren are you from New Jersey?

> Folks, I have hundreds of articles I see every week about human-animal chimeras with no rights. You talked about people you know in research labs, I’ve talked to them too. You see humanoids, they’re like 80 percent gorilla, 80 percent pig, and they’re talking.

I dunno how Alex jones keeps finding new material

BlueBarren

17:21

@badp is this a trick question?

Unionhawk

What's the other 40%

badp

@BlueBarren do you have strong feelings on how deleting files does not actually delete files

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune It's easier when he doesn't have to deal with inconveniences like "journalistic standards" and "facts"

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Does he like....believe every conspiracy theory he runs into or what

Unionhawk

@Ash unclear/define "believe"

badp

17:23

@GodEmperorDune is this code language for the racisms

Unionhawk

I think he says every conspiracy theory he runs into

And only retracts when saying everything could potentially put him in legal peril

user15026

@Unionhawk okay, maybe "spew inane nonsense about" would have been better

BlueBarren

@badp they aren't, are they?

GodEmperorDune

@badp I don't think his intended audience gets metaphors

badp

@BlueBarren are files from New Jersey actually being deleted outright

Unionhawk

17:27

Technically speaking, I think his go-to legal defense is "Alex Jones is a character who believes crazy shit, and also a perfectly reasonable man in real life"

BlueBarren

@badp um maybe?

badp

@BlueBarren how does this make you feel

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk is the custody trial over yet?

Unionhawk

I think so

BlueBarren

@badp well if they were my files and someone was doing it to me I'd be frustrated I guess

I think I should direct all further questions to my attorney

BlueBarren

One of the guys in my school program is from Russia (he's here for school maybe a job after? Not sure about that) and he's a big Putin fan. He believes most of the stuff Putin says to be true

true or just the right kind of thought process

badp

17:40

@BlueBarren is that how deleted files in New Jersey speak like

I now understand why deleting files in New Jersey skips the recycle bin.

BlueBarren

@badp don't judge files based on how they judge another file's butt

badp

@GodEmperorDune is no file.

BlueBarren

@badp where's your evidence?

hopefully you weren't keeping it in a file in New Jersey

Actual one: "“When you turn an election into a three-ring circus, there’s always a chance that the dancing bear will win,” says Isenberg of the political climate surrounding Sarah Palin. And we recognize how right she is today. Yet the voters who boosted Trump all the way to the White House have been a permanent part of our American fabric, argues Isenberg.

I was so happy to get 4 man o' wars in less than 15 minutes. However, they didn't appear in the fleet. Is there something wrong? The black flag app was connected there whole time too.

COOL PROGRAM, MICROSOFT

MadMAxJr

Man. I remember battling VS2003 and VS2005

.NET 2.0 / 3.5 / 4.0

Unionhawk

At least all our projects are 4.6 I think

and at least I'm only using features from .net < 4.0

MadMAxJr

Then I had a massive mental breakdown about being a solo full-stack developer expected to do requirements gathering, assessment, implementation, user testing, review, documentation, and support of product for the rest of my career.

Turns out when you keep adding custom software you expect a solo dev to support, he buckles around project 12.

Unionhawk

I believe the industry calls that a flexible rockstar ninja

MadMAxJr

Now I work on teams!

ToxicFrog

19:17

Much nicer.

MadMAxJr

I wasn't so much a rockstar ninja as I was a dying, venerable dragon. Powerful, valuable, but limited as time goes on.

Unionhawk

Oh man, find all references didn't crash this time

pogchamp

(usually right click->find all references crashes visual studio because this solution is millions of loc)

MadMAxJr

I do not miss that codebase. "Oh yeah the .NET app doesn't compile in VS. Whatever, it runs on the server, just edit in place and refresh the page. .NET is inelegant so I injected PHP on all the headers to do the stuff I couldn't figure out in .NET."

I shoulda quit day 1 of that.

Unionhawk

nopenopenope

NOPE

MadMAxJr

"Do we have a dev instance?" "Why, do we need one? That's a resource request, those come outta my budget."

Second question that I should have quit day 1.

Unionhawk

19:21

real devs develop directly in prod

Kevin van der Velden

I have 3 raspi 3s now, should I set up a cluster with them?

MadMAxJr

Real devs are like stars. They burn bright and mighty. They give life. Then they collapse into a black hole from which not even hope can escape.

ToxicFrog

@KevinvanderVelden a Beowulf cluster of rpis?

MadMAxJr

Also, if your code contains a string that contains both SQL and VB string escape characters, so you can insert variables into SQL, and pass that query as plaintext from client to server, you're gonna have a bad time.

Kevin van der Velden

@ToxicFrog That but over wifi

MadMAxJr

19:25

Also that string was six and a half pages long.

Kevin van der Velden

Probably running kubernetes or something

ToxicFrog

@MadMAxJr nooooooooooooope

@KevinvanderVelden do you have a use case, or is this just for the cool factor?

MadMAxJr

Also that SQL instance was Oracle 9i

Kevin van der Velden

@ToxicFrog the latter

Also I'm already running 2 of them

MadMAxJr

I should hold a flashlight under my face and lean toward the campfire when I say, "It was Oracle 9i."

Kevin van der Velden

19:26

And I kinda want to make it possible that I can shut down any one of them and the rest will pick up the slack

(They already do a bunch of network related things here)

ToxicFrog

MadMAxJr

"Some say the Oracle rep still lurks these very woods to this day, looking to sell additional licenses for very high fees... Some say he could be looking for an on-site consult. Right. Now."

MadMAxJr

No code standards, coding language varied by department, developers were hired to departments, not IT, no centralized app-dev team....

BlueBarren

Do I want Shawarma, a Burrito (could be beef, pork or chicken) or this food stand on the way home which advertises Gyros and stuff

MadMAxJr

"Hey we need to get your department data for app X." "Cool, can your code make calls to IronRuby?" "Ironwhat?"

BlueBarren

hmmm well all the Shawarma places are across town

user15026

@BlueBarren I had a gyro for lunch (or whatever you call 3 pm food) so I say that

user15026

(although really, all of those are "meat wrapped in a bread thing" so it's really "what kind of meat do you want in your bread thing")

MadMAxJr

19:32

@Ash How is life so far being quantum entangled with your companion?

BlueBarren

@Ash well we'll see what this food stand has, I've never actually stopped at it. So we'll see if I get a Gyro or not but I'll take this as a "go to that place" decision

for all I know they have something more exciting

or I might just get a gyro

user15026

@MadMAxJr Well, the lag due to distance is kiiiinda frustrating, makes any sort of information transfer hella hard, but we're working on upgrading the systems so the distance isn't as much of a factor ;)

Adam Lear

@Ash Oh hey, congrats. :)

user15026

@BlueBarren I hope it is awesome food

BlueBarren

@Ash Gyro are definitely good so I at least have a fall back

user15026

19:33

@AdamLear Thanks! It's still weird (changed my name on Facebook, keep doing a damn double take every time I see it) but I like it

BlueBarren

now do you pronounce it j-eye-ro or g-ee-ro?

or some other way?

user15026

I think neither of those

user15026

but I don't know :P

BlueBarren

crap

Adam Lear

I think it's more like "hero"

MadMAxJr

19:34

"That weird greek meat wrap."

BlueBarren

Then I've been led astray

user15026

I just go "combo two please" :P

MadMAxJr

"That thing with the lamb and the sauce."

Adam Lear

Except at a place near my house where they sell both hero sandwiches and gyros.

BlueBarren

what if they don't have a combo 2? What if I have to settle for combo 3?

user15026

19:35

@BlueBarren Suddenly I feel bad for suggesting this option

Adam Lear

the only thing to do in that situation is mambo no 5

BlueBarren

hopefully I can just point

MadMAxJr

You roman cancel from combo 2 into a 3-hit string and try combo 2 again.

BlueBarren

"I want that thing"

see my mom has made gyros and we always called them j-eye-ros but it's not like we ever knew what we were saying

user15026

@BlueBarren I figure they are used to people pronouncing it phonetically so you should be fine

BlueBarren

19:38

I'll go with g-ee-ro then

hopefully that'll at least make me sound like a basic idiot and not a special idiot

@BlueBarren I don't think it would solve what seems like a cpu problem

BlueBarren

Only if you have that attitude

user15026

@fredley Just squish them in its fine

BlueBarren

@Chippies fine then I recommend a mobo that supports 2 CPU and just get those Ryzen Octo Core CPUs, whatever those things are

Geez I can't English apparently

Chippies

@BlueBarren doesn't work that way. Only motherboards that support multiple cpu's are server motherboards and Ryzen is not a server cpu, so pretty sure there are no ryzen server boards

also, if the game doesn't have amazing multi-threading, it won't help either
