@Mast wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Running_Unity_on_Linux_through_Wine

Mast

Wine doesn't count, never did

Ethan Bierlein

@Mast Okay, I honestly just searched google for "Running unity on linux".

Mast

They've been talking about running Unity native under Linux since I can remember (3.x somewhere)

At 4.x they said it was too early

At 5.x they, well, they just didn't implement it, Lord knows why

Ethan Bierlein

@Mast 5.x was too big of an update not to have linux support. I totally agree with you.

I still haven't gotten 5.x yet because I'm afraid It'll break all my projects. Even if it is cool.

Mast

That

@EthanBierlein That's the wrong Unity

Unity and Unity3D are different

one is an IoC container, the other is some stuff that does graphics stuff

Ethan Bierlein

@JeroenVannevel oh, okay, I originally though that it was just a name change.

Jeroen Vannevel

Unless you're both talking about Unity3D

Mast

We're both talking about 3D

Jeroen Vannevel

Nevermind then

Mast

I'd give you both stars if I still had them

Anyway, TTGTB

thx

Damn, my spaceship just exploded.

@JeroenVannevel Can I ask you another quick question?

Oh, nevermind.

I'll work on this later, after I get Unity in.

Mehrad

@Hosch250 I hope you got the answer for your question. I had a look and it's in the field that I haven't worked on for a while now and if I want to give you a reasonable answer I have to refresh my memory which I doubt it'll be in the time span you would want to.

Morning by the way

Sorry that I can't be a help

Hosch250

@Mehrad Thanks, and morning.

I'm just a bit confused about all these new keywords and such.

A: Are there more open jobs than available developers?

A report which was issued by the Economic Policy Institute in 2013, analyzed the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) labor market and workforce and the supply of high-skill temporary foreign workers, who serve as “guestworkers.” A programmer (or a software developer) is indee...

Q: Is it OK to put a promise into another one?

Is it OK to do that ? for example, I have my log out service logout: function() { var defer = $q.defer(); this.getCustomer().then(function(credentials) { $http.post(CONSTANT_VARS.BACKEND_URL + '/auth/logout', {username: credentials.username, customer: credentials.customer...

Mehrad

@Hosch250 I know. That's why I can't help you. You need to spend a fair amount of time getting your head around all those new concepts and if you want to be remember it you need to keep an active development in that area running or you gotta start over again :)

But you'll sort it out. It's not something that you won't be able to handle

nhgrif

@RubberDuck There should be a "Rubber Duck" chat room.

People go in there and chat their problems to themselves.

Probably should be mod-only ;-0

Simon André Forsberg

@nhgrif There is. It's called "The 2nd Monitor".

Quack.

nhgrif

I thought it'd be especially interesting if it reserved solely for this. Particularly if we only ever let one person in at a time.

So all of the conversations in that chat room were monologues.

User with 4.6k rep just accepted my answer without upvoting it.

stackoverflow.com/a/30089127/2792531 :/

Mehrad

@nhgrif Maybe you answer was only acceptable rather than being a right one :P

nhgrif

I'm not sure how that answer could be any better.

It's a very simple question with a very simple answer.

@Mat'sMug Every time I see life-cycle methods like this, I sort of cringe. I think Android's life-cycle methods are okay-ish (been a while since I've seen them), but I really don't like any of the .NET application/form life cycle event names.

rolfl

23:49

@Simon - I am of the opinion that "Yes, it should", but I don't know how to "justify" that in a way that other monkeys would not challenge....

... or ducks?

Simon André Forsberg

@rolfl I'm also not sure how to justify it, but I am also of the opinion "Yes, it should".

nhgrif

What?

Did I miss a chat message?

rolfl

@Captain... you being slow?

Legato

Is there some place I can look up how to use the symbols I see around here? Like the subset/union/intersect notation?

Q: Making a tag for a Code Review community project

Last year, two community projects were born. One of them has been, according to some Github statistics, one of them is a lot more active than the other. Perhaps most importantly, the Rubberduck project has spawned 17 Code Review questions (all but four of the search results seems to be about cod...

@rolfl He's the Captain, not me!

nhgrif

Can't see a problem with it, generally speaking...

I mean

rolfl

@Simon - about the only thing I can think that may be 'different', is if instead of rubberduck-vba it should be a more general community-project.

nhgrif

Hmm, now you've lost me.

rolfl

and have other/all projects in it.

Alternatively, just treat it as a specific "library", and make it not about the community involvement at all.

nhgrif

Well wait...

@rolfl Right, that's what I was thinking.

We've got no problem with creating tags for specific libraries, right?

rolfl

@nhgrif In general, the tags related to libraries are because the code uses the library, not is the library.

Phrancis

@StackExchange And here @rolfl was blaming the Captain!

nhgrif

@rolfl Mmm, I guess that's true.

Although, realistically, given the goal for their Cardshifter game to be very modable, we could definitely see some questions about Cardshifter using Cardshifter APIs

rolfl

My take is that people will want to follow/favourite it, and that is done as a tag.

nhgrif

That may or may not be the case for rubberduck

But also, consider this...

rolfl

23:57

As soon as someone uses cardshifter in their own project, then it's a slam-dunk that there should be a cardshifter.

Simon André Forsberg

@nhgrif possibly some time in the future, yes, but Cardshifter is nowhere near that yet (and Cardshifter only has 5 CR questions). I didn't ask this because of Cardshifter, I am asking this because of the Rubberduck project.

nhgrif

Rubberduck is an opensource project. Potentially, Code Review could be used as that open-source projects way of doing all of their reviews, much like a traditional company might have code reviews in an office.

So if you become a regular contributor to Rubberduck, and Rubberduck uses Code Review in some sort of official-to-them capacity, they'd definitely want the Rubberduck tag.

And that could encourage other open source projects to use Code Review in the same way (which can mean more traffic and more contributors)

rolfl

As a side thought, would it make sense to have the tag on stack overflow?

Phrancis

Perhaps there is a slightly more "philosophical" aspect to tags... I know the answer should be "both", but are tags most useful to occasional users, or to regulars?

nhgrif

I don't think it makes sense to have rubberduck on Stack Overflow necessarily.

rolfl

23:59

@Phrancis Tags have multiple purposes, which is in part why they can be confusing.

Duga

RELOAD!

Phrancis

Yes, I see that

rolfl

Also, they can be "too small", and also "too big".
