@Hosch250 You'd be surprised how creative you get if the only tool you have around is such a hammer.
 
Nitrate bomb on the server?
 
Kaz
@Hosch250 What about a Mod Hammer?
 
@skiwi Thermite.
 
@Kaz best hammer is a kinetic impact strike from orbit :P
 
@Hosch250 knowing someone who was murdered with one of those, I'd claim you're entirely wrong with that statement.
 
4:00 PM
 
Once you accelerate something to 0.9999c, the size of the hammer is irrelevant.
 
wtf is 16 ounce?
how little / much is that in grams?
 
@Vogel612 Roughly a pound.
450 gram.
Give or take a few gram, since it's americano speak after all.
 
@Mat'sMug Well, servers chassis materials are usually tougher than a hollow bone structure. And the brain is so sensitive a bad concussion can kill you, which a 16 ounce hammer can easily give.
 
aye. sorry for bringing that up.
 
4:02 PM
Yeah, that's too bad it happened.
Most household substances and tools have the potential to be lethal, really.
 
Yup.... a university colleague almost died from a water overdose - you can never be too careful.
That's not a joke ^^^^
 
</death>
 
Take a toolbox. Probably every tool in it is lethal.
 
@Mast Including the toolbox itself.
 
<happy-thoughts>
 
4:04 PM
And the tool wielding the box ;-)
 
lol
 
heh
 
@Mat'sMug Well, I'd suggest the fact that we don't have to live forever as one, except we are supposed to stop that subject.
Wouldn't that be depressing?
 
 
OK, I have a different theme:
I've been thinking how to do the checkers UI.
Should I use a static image for the board, and position the checkers on the board based on the board size to ensure they are placed over the square correctly?
Should I use a static square size and programmatically build the board, then place the checkers based on the individual square position?
 
4:07 PM
Create a texture, load a wireframe model, and apply 3D vectorization using OpenGL on a GPU enabled chassis.
 
Or should I use a few different squares, one with a king checker, with with a normal checker, and one without a checker, and build the board with those?
 
Then visualize it using VR glasses, and cook 4K animations.
 
@rolfl Sounds totally overkill.
 
@Hosch250 I'd say you want to have an empty board as background and then also dynamically load tiles on top of it and dynamically load the piece images on top of that again
 
Sounds totally awesome.
 
4:08 PM
The idea is that it still looks okay if one part is missing ^^
 
Checkers for the modern era.....
 
Just like real life
 
@skiwi Do you want a dynamically typed language with that?
 
Somehow there has to be a way for in-game purchases and advertising.
 
@rolfl Easy.
Wait, if I have a built-in board, I don't think I need to layer the tiles.
That totally sounds like overkill.
 
4:10 PM
@Mast Too much dynamic?
@Hosch250 Lol, that makes sense yes
 
DYNAMO (DYNAmic MOdels) was a simulation language and accompanying graphical notation developed within the system dynamics analytical framework. It was originally for industrial dynamics but was soon extended to other applications, including population and resource studies and urban planning. DYNAMO was initially developed under the direction of Jay Wright Forrester in the late 1950s, by Dr. Phyllis Fox, Alexander L. Pugh III, Grace Duren, and others at the M.I.T. Computation Center. The earliest versions were written in assembly language for the IBM 704, then for the IBM 709 and IBM 7090. DYNAMO...
 
So, go with the static board and drop the tiles on that? That's what I was leaning toward.
BTW, I'll give you guys a free version if you want, and are running Windows 10.
 
@Hosch250 Drop pieces on it, not tiles.. right?
 
@skiwi Yeah, whatever you call them.
Pieces, tiles, checkers, whatever.
 
Nuts, squirrels.
 
4:12 PM
@Mast Gives me an idea for alternate pieces.
 
Snakes, ladders.
 
I'm going to have those be the in-game purchases.
 
For $5 you can king your checker!
 
LOL!

If everything works out, I'll get Fanatic on meta on Christmas Eve.
 
Dang, I forgot it's weekend
 
Weekend? It's only Friday.
 
@Mast I'm also surprised. ^^
 
@Hosch250 It's 5.30pm here :P
 
4:30 PM
@Hosch250 CET time is 05:50 PM.
 
possible answer invalidation by borb183 on question by borb183: codereview.stackexchange.com/posts/149418/revisions
 
So, weekend.
 
I don't have a job yet though, but still most of my friends have more time in the weekend
 
@Dex'ter I'm surprised that we've had three Python questions go HNQ today...
 
@Duga Rolled back.
@Peilonrayz Today is a good day to Python.
 
4:31 PM
@Peilonrayz it's be awesome to keep it that way. I'd really love to see this community going as high as possible
 
Every day is a good day to Python.
Hi @AaronHall
 
Ooh! A greetings! Salutations sir!
 
@Mast Even better when you have an answer on all of them, ;P
 
Or maam, if you prefer.
 
@Peilonrayz Are they all using Python 3.6 yet?
 
4:32 PM
@AaronHall Singular and plural?
 
@Peilonrayz And it's even the top one
 
@AaronHall On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
@skiwi At least one was using 2.7.
 
@Mast I automatically assume everyone on the internet is a dog until they prove otherwise.
 
@skiwi I wanted to get it on Windows... They've not released the binary yet, ):
 
Or should I say I assume they are a donkey?
 
4:33 PM
No assumptions.
 
@Peilonrayz I'm trying to install the Torch 7 framework on Windows, but it doesn't support Windows, so I feel like I've chosen the wrong battle
 
To assume is to make an ass out of u and me.
You Muricans should know that.
 
@Dex'ter It's not that hard to do, it seems if you have two upvoted answers on an upvoted question within an hour of it being up you get a HNQ...
 
No, assuming low prevents us from being made donkeys of.
 
4:35 PM
Who's a good boy!
 
My motto is expect the worst and hope for the best.
 
or girl, if you prefer.
 
Keeps me out of a lot of trouble.
 
@skiwi you started to look into ML as well ? How many thing do you plan to accomplish until the fin of this year ? ALL ?
5
 
@Dex'ter I've been looking into ML for a while already :p
 
4:36 PM
O'ca-ml?
 
@Peilonrayz I think edits and comments have something to do with it as well, but I'm not sure.
@AaronHall We don't have much of that going on here.
 
@Peilonrayz yea, I also think views in a short amount of time helps. Like, a lot
 
@skiwi Pssssst, dual-boot
 
@Mast Hmpf, how much of a hell is that to setup on an already running machine?
And I suppose hot-switching is not possible either?
 
BTW, I wanted to do this a long time ago but I didn't. I want to thank @Peilonrayz for all the help he's given me to certain Python questions that I've lately had.
 
4:39 PM
@Mast Hmm, maybe, but the bakery has neither... The median only had an edit before HNQ...
@Dex'ter No problem, if you need help I'm a ping away, :)
 
@Peilonrayz I think it's a scoring system. Once you have enough points => HNQ.
So it's either some combo, or another combo, or a third type of combo, they all work.
@skiwi If you have enough HDD space, an hour.
Not much work at all really.
@skiwi Uh, Windows used to screw it up, but it behaves quite properly now.
As in, if you had a hibernated Windows, it would lock the NTFS part of your HDD.
But I haven't had that problem since I'm running a 16.04 with Win10 combo.
 
@Mast There's problem one
 
@skiwi Delete some tabs.
3
 
@Mast I was thinking yesterday about putting two SSD's in my new PC one for Linux and other for Windows, but they would still contest the data drive I guess?
 
@skiwi They'd contest partitions at best, not drives.
 
4:44 PM
@Mast Hmm okay
@Hosch250 (Silently ignoring)
 
For the love of God, don't put multiple OS on the same partition. That's recipe for disaster.
3
 
@skiwi You can use the same NTFS partitions if you turn off fast-boot on Windows...
 
^^ That helps a lot, yes.
 
Greetings, Programs.
 
I wonder whether this satisfies the OPs needs or not
@Donald.McLean monking !
 
4:48 PM
@Dex'ter I don't think they've been on since they asked their last question. Which IMO should be UWYA...
 
@Peilonrayz What does UWYA mean ?
 
Unclear What You're Asking

It's a close reason.
 
@Dex'ter Not the question you linked. But Unclear What You're Asking
 
4:50 PM
@CaptainObvious Broken.
Asking for explanation, really.
But anyway, crap.
 
@Peilonrayz Ohh, one acronym learned. I'll start using them more often. That auto-suggest is hibernating
 
@Dex'ter Auto-suggest?
 
yea, it was a discussion yesterday I guess. Where monkeys claimed they have most of the acronyms on their auto-suggest list on their phones :p
 
Oh, that convo, XD
 
@Dex'ter TMTOWTDI
 
4:56 PM
@rolfl I'm confused. Y U so bad ?

what does that mean ?
 
Perfect code doesn't exist.
 
@Mast yea, tell that to @janos

5:01 PM
Hmm, I don't know that acronym.
 
There's more than one way to do it (TMTOWTDI or TIMTOWTDI, pronounced Tim Toady) is a Perl programming motto. The language was designed with this idea in mind, in that it “doesn't try to tell the programmer how to program.” As proponents of this motto argue, this philosophy makes it easy to write concise statements like or the more traditional or even the more verbose: This motto has been very much discussed in the Perl community, and eventually extended to There’s more than one way to do it, but sometimes consistency is not a bad thing either (TIMTOWTDIBSCINABTE, pronounced Tim Toady Bicarbonate...
 
Oh, lol.
 
I like how it has two acronyms...
 
@Peilonrayz Three.
 
WUUT:
> TIMTOWTDIBSCINABTE
sys.pause('brain')
 
5:04 PM
@Hosch250 Three?
 
TMTOWTDI, TIMTOWTDI, and TIMTOWTDIBSCINABTE.
 
I'm not going to look all those up. Still fried internet.
 
@Mast They are right in that article.
 
That's the internet around here at the moment. Red is very bad. Big red is major disruptions.
Been like this for 2 days.
 
seems like the same thing that hit Germany a week ago
 
5:06 PM
It's traveling! Aliens are moving across the sky and blocking our satellites!
Occam's Razor tells me it is much more likely to be a weather pattern.
 
or just a coordinated attack on net infrastructure ...
 
Would it be traveling around like that if it was an attack?
 
apparently in Germany it came from Ireland. basically some routers got DDOS'd on maintenance ports
 
Ah.
 
providers started dropping the related packets and accordingly the attack became useless in Germany ... next target: Netherlands it seems..

It shouldn't take them this long to fix it if it's the same problem though.
@Hosch250 In fairness, that's fun for Ruby and Perl, but in Python there should be only one obvious way of doing something.
It's even in the Zen.
 
@Mast I didn't say it was good for Python.
Also, the article said as much itself :)
 
@Mast Are those nuclear blast sites?
 
5:16 PM
> There should be one— and preferably only one —obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
@skiwi More like DDoS blast sites.
 
hmm ok, not quite the same
 
No, if those would've been nuclear blast sites, we'd probably know.

Also, Secrets abort if their specific target is mortally wounded, pending destroy or they otherwise cannot meaningfully trigger. However, 'beneficial' (healing/buffing) triggers count mortally wounded, and AoE effects count mortally wounded.
Rule 5b: For the purposes of 'if it survives'/'if that kills it' effects, mortally wounded and pending destroy Characters are considered to not have survived/to hav
 
@Mast Yeah... they are fun
Makes me wonder if perhaps I do need to recreate the cards by myself instead of using an existing codebase, because the cards and the simulator are probably closely tied together
I built a HS replay tool almost two years ago, I wonder how I dealt with the card effects etc. Oh wait, I actually didn't implement that part :D
 
Huh, it's been a long time since I hit the review queues on Code Review Meta site.... but I was surprised to see me as the most recent suggested-edit reviewer. I find it remarkable that there has not been a suggested edit review in..... 9 months.

I have the most recent Close Vote though.
In fairness, it took us 4 days to close an off-topic question that time.

@Mast That is such a terrible tool and needs to be banned.
 
5:54 PM
@EBrown Feel free to share alternatives :-)
 
There really aren't any, because the item it's trying to measure is impossible to measure without getting real information from actual attacks happening.
Basically, that tool works as follows: that company sets up a bunch of fake servers around the world, anytime any device tries to connect to them on any port they count it as an "attack" because it's not a legitimate server.
Which is a terrible idea. So many of those "attacks" are just misconfigured devices.
 
That doesn't sound half as sophisticated as they make it out to be.
 
Misconfigured devices are often essential components of attacks.
 
There are a few that are likely legitimate there, but as far as my professional experience goes that tool is useless.
 
Oh well.
 
5:56 PM
So, it basically measures attacks waiting to happen as well.
 
It doesn't show real attacks that are an actual danger.
Only throwing false red flags all over the place.
 
I think most security professionals would say that misconfigured devices are an actual danger.
 
So there's no way to monitor who's attacking the national network at the moment?
@Hosch250 They're definitely dangerous, but their danger might be irrelevant to the current problem.
 
Interestingly enough, there is supposedly an attack going on in Egypt.
 
Not really, without getting actual data from live situations.
 
5:57 PM
I can easily believe that, given their political and geographical position.
 
Consider this: China knows of very important internet nodes to our network, their plan is to DDOS us, why would they attack a fake server instead of the actual publicly-available list of servers?
 
Honeypots are great for catching uneducated attackers, but for anything that's actually a real attack, they're useless.
 
These aren't just attacks sponsored by nations.
 
No, but it's an example.
 
5:58 PM
@EBrown True.
 
The educated attackers that do real damage won't fall for "honeypots."
 
It depends how sophisticated the honeypot is.
 
No, it doesn't.
The definition of a honeypot is a server that pretends to be a legitimate server.
The problem is that it's pretending, and it's easy to detect servers that pretend to be legitimate like that.
Especially in todays highly-connected society.
 
It is like phishing. Sometimes the fake site is more plausible than other times.
When trying to get a particular attacker, the FBI can set up a "honeypot" for that attacker so well they can't tell the difference.

"so they can't tell the difference" is not an accurate statement.
You cannot use honeypots for valid network attack vector analysis.
You have to use the live devices that are attack targets.

But nobody will share that data...
 
There's probably a reason for that.

You're still on the other side of the pond?
 
@DanPantry It's all over now, it's all over now

I had a Korean BBQ last night, that was fun
 
Sounds pretty delightful.
 
7:33 PM
Most variety of food I've had in a while at the same time... there was pork, steak, chicken, whole octopi..
Good thing I'm not a vegetarian
 
I heard nothing back from them by the way. (Not that it matters or anything, just letting you know.)
 
A BBQ'd octopus is probably better than a fried one, those taste like elastics.
 
@EBrown Sorry to hear that :/ Riot's very... specific on what they are looking for
 
No big deal.
I figured I wouldn't.
Put out ~35 job applications in the last two weeks, 0 responses. Not sure what's wrong.
 
I've never had an issue, but I've never directly applied for a job - always been through recruiters
 
7:36 PM
0/35 response rate (you count denials as responses too I hope?) sounds more like a red flag than a simple issue to me... but I can't know how the USA works

Try reading again and again and again ^^
 
@skiwi I haven't gotten any denials, just no response.
 
@EBrown I hope your email server is working.... it seems rather odd to me
 
@skiwi 0/35 isn't too bad really. A rate of 1/50 isn't unheard off.
 
Market is probably saturated right now.
 
> market saturated
> software engineer
 
7:37 PM
And I live in the middle of nowhere.
 
I.... doubt.. that? But it depends on where you live, I suppose
 
Also, it's December.
 
They could at least send an acknowledgement (likely automated) or just a denial
 
Companies don't like hiring in December.
 
@skiwi yeah but businesses wouldn't gain anything from that (so they don't)
 
7:38 PM
Doesn't help that the jobs I apply on are all well out of range of here.
 
The only business that's ever given me a decline was Riot a few years ago, actually - others simply ignored your application
 
@EBrown No full-remote jobs available?
 
@skiwi It is, get spam all the time.
@Mast A couple I applied on, but no luck.
 
@EBrown Outgoing != incoming
 
I'm not afraid to move.
 
7:39 PM
@EBrown Not to teach you to suck eggs but you're checking SO careers too, right?
 
@skiwi I'm not sending them through my server, send them through other sites.
@DanPantry Why do you think it's 35 and not 5?
 
I think you do need to target high-profile companies if they are supposed to pay for/help with relocation, but that also immediately makes it harder to get in there I guess
 
I gave up on it. Lol
I think my problem is no degree.
 
What about moving to a place with lots of positions first, and then looking for a job? Is that even remotely considerable?

I could, but that's really expensive in the U.S.
It's not like the Netherlands where the entire country is like 6 hour drive from furthest points apart.
 
@skiwi That seems like a bad idea
 
Theoretically there's no difference between doing it the other way around, as long as you have the buffer
 
Also... the nearest tech hub could be states apart
 
(Unless you were assuming that the company would pay for relocation)
 
I mean, the state I live in alone is ~5 hours from corner to corner.
We're just really spread out.
 
7:44 PM
Hmm right... I'm not used to those distances
 
The closest "city" is ~1 hour from me.
 
me complains that the nearest big hub is a 30 minute drive away
 
The closest "big hub" is ~2.5 hours away.
 
@EBrown lives in Ohio. Some of the biggest tech hubs are in NY City, Washington and Silicon Valley (on the other side of the country)
 
Yep.
Chicago / Detroit have some, but I refuse.

America is huge
 
I won't live in Illinois, period.
Nor California or New York.
 
Me either.
 
I don't want to live in Michigan, but if the pay is right I'll consider it.
And I won't live in Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon or Rhode Island.
 
@skiwi Places with lots of jobs tend to have high costs of living. Also, the future employer isn't going to pay for relocation if you're already there.
 
Which rules a lot of places out.

@200_success Would a future employer pay if you're not there yet though? I don't know anything about that
@EBrown No love for Hawaii? :(
 
@skiwi Some will, but it's not common here.
 
Some employers do offer to cover relocation costs.
 
@skiwi Unfortunately, no. If I didn't just recently get a specific license from my Sheriff's office this week, I would not have it on that list.
But I did. (Not that it matters to any of you, if you want to know what it is I'll share but it's very political so I don't want to start a heated discussion as a result of it.)
 
@EBrown Conceal carry, I take it.
 
@200_success Most decent employers would if you made it very clear you were relocating. But it would be part of a comp package/signing bonus, I guess
damn, going to bel ate for a meeting, forgot it was outside. AFK
 
7:52 PM
Have you ruled out Wisconsin?
 
@200_success No.
That state is acceptable.
