Just worked out for the first time in over a year... Wow I can't move my arms.

user15026

02:04

@Fluttershy Oh no :( Your poor arms :P

Fluttershy

@Ash 30 jumping jacks, 16 incline push-ups, 12 knee push-ups, 10 regular push-ups, 12 box push-ups, 10 wide arm push-ups, then 20 upright rows with a 40 lb bar, 10 military presses, and 20 bicep curls with same bar. :3

user15026

@Fluttershy HOW DO YOU HAVE ARMS LEFT

user15026

(I can't do military presses, or knee/regular pushups yet)

user15026

(Pushups are hard, I have tiny chicken arms and there's a lot of me to lift)

Fluttershy

@Ash Push-ups are very hard. @_@

user15026

02:17

@Fluttershy I do inclines, but not very far and I can't do many yet. I am better with anything I can push or use my legs for.

Tim Stone

@Fluttershy I used to be able to do a lot, but my wrists have destroyed themselves over the years apparently :/

user15026

I can plank for a full minute but the lifting is HARD

GodEmperorDune

03:00

@Ash a full minute?! eeeeeeeeeeeeee that's hard

unless its the plank challenge or w/e from a few years back where you just lie on the ground

user15026

@GodEmperorDune A full minute.

user15026

When I hit that I just about died

user15026

I can also stand on one foot each side for a minute

GodEmperorDune

@Ash tbh i think that is harder than the thing your spiders are spiderin on about :p

user15026

@GodEmperorDune you saaaaaay that but I dunno it only took a couple months of practising

GodEmperorDune

03:03

@Ash but hopefully after the thing you won't feel ded

but after planks... RIP

user15026

the one minute plank used to be part of my warmup superset >.>

GodEmperorDune

wutttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

user15026

It was front plank, deadbugs, and birddogs

user15026

then whatever else we'd do

GodEmperorDune

so you mean a thing you once thought impossible is now so easy that you do it multiple times per week and its no big deal?

well used to, anyway

user15026

03:08

@GodEmperorDune now i do harder things

user15026

like one leg bodyweight romanian deadlifts

user15026

(THOSE ARE HARD I WOBBLE)

user15026

(my current warmup superset is RDLs, hollow hold for as long as I can, and then farmer's carry of 50 lb in each hand)

user15026

(we are super working on balance)

GodEmperorDune

@Ash HOW IS THIS MERELY A WARMUP?

farmer's carry 50 lbs in each hand

user15026

03:10

the farmer's carry is 100ft (50 ft there 50 ft back)

GodEmperorDune

yeah i dunno if i could carry 50 lbs 50ft in both hands

user15026

so 5 RDLs per side, hollow hold as long as I can, then 50 lb each hand for 100 fit, repeat all of this three times, then go on with the workout

user15026

(which doesn't feel like a lot because i see other people doing more but I am bad at judging)

GodEmperorDune

@Ash from me that sounds like a lot

user15026

on a Discord Server someone was sharing this idea for Battle Royal but as a Fighter, quote an IRC Chat

> <Maddness> hmm, if we wanted to go even further with the Powerstone parallel, instead of just 1 giant bubble that periodically shrinks, you could have some number between 2 and 5 power objects that each create their own safety bubbles
<Maddness> and then a player need to collect it within some period of time, at which point the bubble centers on them. That'd probably encourage the game to be faster,
<Maddness> So you wouldnt get a bunch of hour long games, and also discourage hiding, since the person with the bubble on them could just run, leaving all thei othe rplayers outside thei…

my initial thought turned to one huge WWE Matches where it's like 20 wrestlers in the ring. then this

> mechanics wise it might be a good idea for the carrier to be slowed down a touch, otherwise they can just run strait forever, depending on the landscape
that way if it does just turn into a glorified game of gang tag atleast the carrier has to be creative in trying to shake everyone off if their aim is to stall until the bubble shrinks enough
i just had this mental image of PUBG but a sweaty half naked wrestler being chased by a gang of other sweaty half naked wrestlers.

Nzall

14:16

@Jutschge So on live, Stormstrike has a 15 second base CD (so every 10 GCDs) and does physical damage. Ascendance turns that into wind damage which bypasses armor and reduces the CD by 80%, so you will use it every other GCD. On beta, Stormstrike has a 9 second CD and does nature damage, but Ascendance is unchanged, so it isn't nature damage anymore and has a wonky CD

@Yuuki The best way to level is through the earlier zones of both expansions, because they were designed to be leveled in without a flying mount (ESPECIALLY without a 280% mount), so having one speeds them both up considerabily

We want to upgrade a couple of dependencies, namely Hibernate and Struts2. Both of which upgraded their Log4j version to Log4j 2. however, Log4j 2 has split their own dependency into Core and API, and other programs using Log4j should only depend on the API. Result: most of our logging broke

@SaintWacko null and undefined are not the same thing, at least in JS!

SaintWacko

@ToxicFrog Really? the console says otherwise

(Also I've tested it with null and it still falls through)

ToxicFrog

@SaintWacko they're equivalent under ==. They are not equal under ===

SaintWacko

@ToxicFrog Right

And that did cross my mind, but switch apparently uses ==

ToxicFrog

How are switch clauses evaluated? In particular, I'm wondering if when 'Scheduled' or null then 'not_received' is eqv to: when ctrl.ticket.status == ('Scheduled' or null) ...

SaintWacko

@ToxicFrog I also tried moving the null check to its own case

ToxicFrog

hits the specs

Wait, what language is this?

SaintWacko

16:22

Coffeescript

I can paste in the compiled javascript if you want

status = (function() {
                switch (ctrl.ticket.status) {
                  case 'Scheduled' || null:
                    return 'not_received';
                  case 'Invoiced':
                    return 'invoiced';
                  default:
                    return 'received';
                }
              })()

ToxicFrog

Yeah that doesn't do what you want

@Try when 'Scheduled', null then ...

What that does is evaluate 'Scheduled' || null to 'Scheduled' and then matches against that.

SaintWacko

Ahhh

Hm, the comma thing doesn't seem to work either. It does compile to something that makes more sense, though

@Yuuki coffeescript compiles to javascript, but (as discussed above) has different syntax for that (and slightly different semantics in that it's an expr rather than stmt): when x, y, z then foo compiles to case x: case y: case z: foo

murgatroid99

Though not just if it's true, rather if it's any truthy value

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 Yeah, that's what I meant by resolves to true

What I want it to do is only return true if this.status exists and this.status !== EquipmentTicket.SCHEDULED;

ToxicFrog

@SaintWacko what's improper about it?

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko If you specifically want a boolean, I would suggest return !!this.status && (this.status !== EquipmentTicket.SCHEDULED)

ToxicFrog

@SaintWacko that expression should do exactly what you describe -- if this.status is false-eqv (including null or undef), it'll return that; otherwise it'll return (this.status !== EquipmentTicket.SCHEDULED)

Which sounds like what you want?

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 Yeah, that did the trick... I guess I just have to get used to the fact that in JS boolean stuff doesn't automatically cast to boolean when you use boolean operators

@ToxicFrog No, that was what I was pretty sure it was doing, but it wasn't what I wanted

I wanted it just to return true or false

So doing @murgatroid99's boolean casting did what I wanted

So also thank you @murgatroid99 :D

ToxicFrog

Aah. I misparsed what you meant by "only return true"

And yeah, in JS/coffeescript (and lua, python, most lisps, and things inspired by them) boolean operators return the value that evaluation stopped at, not the true/false equivalency of that value; nil and false is nil, x or default_value is x iff x is true-eqv and default_value otherwise.

I am glad that it was in fact a difference in scope and not some weird Angular problem

In any scope, this is just "the object that this function was bound to". Arrow functions are special because they close over this (or, equivalently, automatically bind to the this in the scope in which they are defined)

so uh when I say foo.bar() then, inside function bar, this points to foo?

@KevinvanderVelden sorry, so many people were obviously disturbed by the conversation over something I meant as a joke, so I am taking every response seriously and expressing my regret so that the conversation can simply go on before I leave a negative impression on people.

@badp yes

Kevin van der Velden

@badp Not necessarily!

murgatroid99

usually

badp

excellent

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden this is my least favorite kind of programming answer

murgatroid99

You can explicitly bind a function to an object, then it doesn't matter how you call it

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk I'm glad I could give it

badp

ah okay

Nzall

I don't know what's crazier: the fact that GTA V is STILL in the top sellers list on Steam or the fact that FC5 is outselling it

Or does that list include MCTs?

Chippies

@Nzall why is it crazy that FC5 is outselling GTA V?

FC5 is quite a new release, GTA V is ancient, by gaming standards

Yuuki

GTA V still being in the top sellers list is probably the crazier fact.

Nzall

@Chippies because AFAIK FC5 wasn't really all that well received by the press and public, especially the ending

Unionhawk

19:14

it's a new game

Chippies

@Nzall really? I haven't heard much bad about FC5, everyone seems to say that it improved on a lot of things from previous games and the game is generally better

plus the story is controversial, so people want to play it

Unionhawk

@Chippies no it isn't lol

Nzall

ah, okay, weird, that's not really how I understood it at the time

Unionhawk

it's just bad from what I understand

it looked like it was going to go places

but then it didn't

Chippies

@Unionhawk well, you get to shoot americans, which is a thing™

Kevin van der Velden

From what I've heard it's better in every way then the previous versions but it's still another generic, dime a dozen ubisoft game

Chippies

@Unionhawk to know that, without spoiling the game for yourself, you need to buy the game though

Kevin van der Velden

It's a good generic ubisoft game but it's a generic ubisoft game. So if you're into that have fun

Chippies

sales figures don't show how many people thought the game was great

ubisoft games are good, every once in a while

Unionhawk

good thing for Ubisoft because sales figures is the only real number that matters

Chippies

if you play every ubisoft game they release though, they are too generic though

I enjoyed Far Cry 5.

Enough to 100% it.

Dumped something like 60 hours into it.

Unionhawk

I've heard it's good if you ignore literally all of the story

some nonsense is happening

but it is a far cry game

Kevin van der Velden

Good luck ignoring the story, you get kidnapped every so often throughout the random nonsense sections

Fluttershy

Story was interesting enough to keep me playing.

Chippies

@Unionhawk or you can just not take it super seriously and enjoy it for what it is

if you're expecting a bestseller worthy story from a Far Cry game, you're going in with the wrong expectations

Unionhawk

See, but that's the thing is they went hard on this being a thing that would actually tell a meaningful story

Yuuki

19:34

@Chippies You may in fact be going in with Great Expectations.

Unionhawk

And everyone collectively forgot that no that's never going to be what actually happens

Chippies

@Unionhawk I didn't follow their marketing, but it feels like to me that people just made that assumption and hyped the game, because oh em gee, the game is in 'murica, it's personal now

it's easier to accept some crazy villains in middle of nowhere places as plausible, than it is when it's in a country that you may have actually been in

so really, the expectations for the story are higher because it takes place in the US

Nzall

So Steam just told me that Okami HD is on sale, but... it isn't?

Unionhawk

It's not even that there was just some level of expectation that the game was going to like

say anything at all

Chippies

@Nzall that happens sometimes. How did it tell you that?

email? steam news thing on launch?

Nzall

19:38

@Chippies "the following items on your wishlist are on sale" email

Chippies

@Nzall check how long ago you received that email

Nzall

20 minutes ago

Chippies

actually, isthereanydeal.com history for Okami HD shows no sales on steam

the sale may not be on yet

I have had that happen where steam notifies me of a sale that's not active yet

check in an hour or so, might be on sale then

or it could be a mistake
