12:00 PM
to me, Tank for the memory attempts to confirm a specific explanation that some fans gave for that
 
o/
 
Basically some claimed that that strange behaviour was actually a (pretty bad) attempt from Pinkie to make 'Shy realize that her fears were actually pretty "stupid". After all that is the only way Pinkie knows to manage fear and insecurity - laugh at it.
Now... who does the same in Tank? Fluttershy.
 
@Wipqozn Okay, I kinda liked this.
It doesn't look like it takes itself too seriously.
 
@Wipqozn Neither have I don't worry (I haven't watched any, even though it was established that I was next (TAKE THAT @fredley and @kalina))
RIP @kalina
@TimStone It just dawned on me that I had a window navigated here to try and find it later today but I shut down my laptop. God dangit @Uni
 
@AshleyNunn If you have the time, these two short short fimfics based on the prompt "the best medicine" are really good - If You Can't Cry... and Love and Other Bandages
 
12:09 PM
@Arperum Starred for "torment the rest of the bridge"
I think everyone started working at the same time. I guess I should do the same...
 
@Unionhawk not here. I refuse to call what they asked me to do "work". "Lowering code quality" maybe, but not "work"
 
I mean, technically right now what I'm doing is "figuring out how Active Reports works"
I am happy that I'll actually be working on code that will go to production as an intern
 
@Unionhawk here I am rewriting the same project functionality for the fifth time. And each time they asked for a revision that lowered the readability/maintainability of the code.
Started from an elegant fluent API, now down to spaghetti code mess
 
Yeah. All of you who thought "IT Intern" meant "office coffee and copy drone number 5" or "QAT drone number 7" or "PC tech drone number 3" were SO WRONG
 
12:25 PM
to be more clear - it isn't that the revision required quality degrade. The actual requirement was to degrade quality.
like - you have used to many utility class.... can't you reduce them with some GOTO?
 
Change request: Obfuscate code to make it harder for future developers to understand
 
Basically that.
 
Holy crap I'll actually have money starting today \o/
Summertime for the broke college student is a flourishing time. The broke college student spends his summer gathering funds. He must be careful to use these funds wisely, for not a cent of them will remain at the end of the next academic year.
A fascinating creature
 
@Unionhawk You'll have to pay taxes next year.
 
"wisely"
 
12:31 PM
@MBraedley Maybe, I don't know
Probably
But I think if I'm calculating right I'll still be within the personal exemption or whatever
 
@Unionhawk Ask for more money
 
Meh
It's not bad, the main thing is that it's a summer thing, so... 12 weeks ish is not a lot of time to accrue taxable income
The TA thing is paid though too, so that will be a nice boost through the fall

Q: Overheat bar in MW3 spec ops Arctic Recon

user112800does somebody know why in MW3 dlc arctic recon (spec ops mission), the recon drone overheat bar doesnt show up? Does it matter that I play on PC? (on consoles the bar shows up). An answer would be much appreciated. Thank you :)

Q: Formatting Clan Info

GosuI have seen some clans formatting their clan info in point form, and I would like to do the same for my clan. Does anyone have any idea how is that done? Thanks! :)

 
@SPArchaeologist "No. Because that would be bad because this, this, this and this"
 
@Arperum that is the best part. Reply was "Yes, we know it is bad, but client requested it explicitly"
Like I would actually believe that. Would be as someone buying a car and asking "explicitly" that the car needs to lose friction when turning left.
The reality is that the architect knows that he will be the one that will maintain that new code in the future and since he already knows how the old mess works.... why learn something new?
 
@SPArchaeologist "So I can go ask your boss that the client has explicitly asked to make the code harder to maintain?"
 
@Arperum that is the next step I will probably take, but let's just say that the thing is not so simple.
Our organization is pretty strange. Image two different parallel production lines. Sometime one of the two (and it is always the same one... why you may interfere from the above...) ask the other for help. In those situation, the results are almost always what I described before.
since all the "boss" are split in the two product lines, the ones in the line B actually have in their interests to work that way.
This also explain why line A is always fighting with B
Nice, isn't it?

@Yuuki I'm confused as to what the dude in the center is doing, is he trying to create an image where he pushes the tower to make it fall?

Q: Is there a way to download Windows games on Steam but for my Macbook Pro?

Backstabbed4DaysI have a Macbook Pro and all my friends have 40+ games but most of them are for Windows. So is there anyway that I can download them but on my Mac and be able to play them?

Q: How do I upload a world?

Detroit Rock CityI'm uploading my world to www.minecraftworldmap.com, and I'm confused. How exactly DO you upload a world? I've gone into the .minecraft saves folder, but no luck. Help please.

 
@Yuuki Wait, he shot a dude, and then jumped into the crashing jet, prevented the jet from hitting the ground and flew off like nothing happened?
 
@Arperum He headshot a dude in a jet, jacked it, and flew off, yes.
 
@Yuuki That's so super realistic I don't even.
 
@Lazers2.0 Huh, how did Community close a question?
 
2:04 PM
@PrivatePansy I think if the asker agrees with a dupe vote
 
@Arperum More importantly, the guy in the jet was going to try and ram him (because that's how they do in Battlefield) and instead of dodging out of the way, he decided to headshot him instead.
 
They might have to be <3k for it to happen or something
 
@Yuuki Aren't jets more often used for shooting things/people instead of ramming them? What kind of madness is this?
 
@Arperum Snipers tend to place themselves on hills so people in fighter jets tend to skim the top to ram them instead of bullets and missiles.
Because bullets and missiles are rarely OHKO while ramming is.
 
At some point they decided to just throw the slightest bit of realism straight out of the window. If you get a missile to explode in your face, you'll be so extremely dead it's not even funny anymore.

Q: Do I need to stop / linger while a scan is in progress from a systems authority vessel?

Lasse V. KarlsenWhen clearing a dock and leaving for another system/station, sometimes a systems authority vessel comes close and initiates a scan for illegal cargo and similar. What if this scan comes in when I'm already charging the frame shift drive, should I abort to let the vessel complete its scan? Will I...

 
@Arperum In your face, yes. But most people aren't that accurate with missiles.
@Arperum But throwing realism straight out the window? Yeah, that's why Hardline looks like it's going to be fun.
 
@Yuuki But they are able to fly close enough to the ground to hit a sniper who I assume is lying down.
 
At least they're acknowledging it this time around.
@Arperum I have no clue, I rarely use vehicles.
 
Realism was never Battlefields strong point.
But that just adds to the charm

Q: Glyphmaster nowhere to find

Kyo AkashiI dont know if i'm just being blind by running through velika and googleing the wrong things but i just can't find the Glyphmaster for gunners, could someone help me by telling me the position?

 
Battlefield. On launch, it's the angry 14 year old sandbox. After all the DLC is released, it's the angry 30 year old stupid-jet-trick sandbox.
 
@Lazers2.0 @TimStone @Rapitor do either of you know if checkpoints in systems in lockdown do something like this? I think I've heard that system authority will pull ships out of SC for scan at checkpoints, but I'm not sure if that's a real thing or not
 
@Unionhawk Checkpoints don't do anything right now.
 
They do, yeah
But randomly, AFAIK
 
I've jumped into checkpoints and flown near them, nothing happen
 
2:19 PM
I don't think there's any consequence to immediately jumping though
I was interdicted once
 
I don't think you'd have time to jump away before scan
 
BOOST
Hmm gotta take my son to the doctor now
 
@Rapitor Something something police profiling. Hashtag TOPICAL!
 
It'd be close. You'd have to get out of scan range quick.
 
@Yuuki probably because I'm imperial allied and the only checkpoints i've been around are in imperial space
 
2:24 PM
@Rapitor I mean, if they're pulling ships out they'd need to be in SC anyway. The authority wouldn't even be in regular space.
 
yeah, I've flown near them while in SC
 
It probably is random. I don't know

@Rapitor Too be fair, some games have the player character insert bullets individually into a revolver.
 
I'm not sure whether or not Invisible INC has long term replayability, but still, it's pretty good
 
2:37 PM
@Rapitor I still like the magic trick reload the most.
 
that's not from hardline. apparently people with modeling/animation skills just like making stupid reloads
 
@Rapitor I can't tell what's happening here.
 
@StrixVaria AFAIK someone is trying to reload a gun by throwing bullets at it.
 
I like the one where they shove a 3 foot long magazine into a glock.

Q: Which monster attacks are affected by guard up?

MonkeezOnFireI'm a big fan of guard lancing. An armor skill that is often suggested for this style of play is guard up.

@Yuuki Indeed
 
@Unionhawk Hey, I need you to get me a coffee.

@Sterno Qdoba.
Can I undercut @Yuuki
 
@StrixVaria I'll merge them and get a steak burrito!
 
Now I'm jealous that I can't have Qdoba for lunch.
 
3:30 PM
I thought qdoba was a capital city
Not sure where of
 
@fredley Not one that I've heard of
 
Me neither, clearly
Maybe it's just the morphine talking
 
Hmmm morphine
Why are you on morphine?
 
Surgery
As in, I've had, and now morphine is the only thing standing between me and agony
Tbh, it's less exciting than I'd hoped
 
That is usually why morphine is described =p
Err, prescribed?
 
3:34 PM
If I scream enough the nurses just bring it
 
@fredley it does sound like it'd be a capital

Today was the perfect day for a pub lunch on a patio. Which is exactly what I did.
 
> I will never, ever tell my daughter that when she was one week old I accidentally threw her across the room onto a wood floor. It was about 2 am, I was breastfeeding her in the living room and a huge spider crawled on my arm. The whole new-baby/late-at-night thing made me stupid, so my reaction was to use the arm I was holding the baby in to get the spider off my other arm. My little girl went flying. It was horrible. She was fine, though. Completely unharmed, just kind of pissed off.
NO ONE TELL HER.

Q: G27 Alternative Racing controller set for PS4

MultitutI hope to be posting this on the right place. Since the Logitech G27 racing wheel won't work on PS4, I am looking for the best alternatives to it. It should have a clutch pedal, and a stick gear box. I'd like to play the Driveclub and C.A.R.S project. Thanks in advance.

@spugsley Lake might be cold still, but then again I am going on the fact that the lake near my parents would be freezing and that's in Canada. I vote abandoned house because I saw an abandoned castle thing on the weekend and thought of you.
 
user15026
I even have a picture of it if you want
 
@spugsley I can't. I keep getting distracted by the beautifull woman who is on top of it.
 
user15026
@spugsley No might about it, lady.
 
@AshleyNunn omgomgomg I wanna go there. CASTLLLLEEEEEEEE and the lake should't be too cold (chilly but not like freezing). We've been up at 90F the past week or so

there's a subreddit for evrything.
 
@spugsley maybe the princess was in a different castle?

Hm, it's decently nice out, might take my lunch (leftover homemade tortillas with bulgogi and kimchi) to the park with my book and get some sunshine
 
internet says it is an "arrow loop", "loophole", or "Meurtriere". the "murder holes" or "Machicolation" are for dropping things straight down, not shooting horizontally
 
That's a castle ruin in Tolmin (Slovenia) it's on top of a mountain. The view from there is fantastic

why are robert downey junior films related to castle terminology?

@Rapitor Oh man

@GodEmperorDune I really can't think of a way that makes sense
 
Huh. Just got invited an advance screening.
> ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL is the uniquely funny, moving story of Greg (Thomas Mann), a high school senior who is trying to blend in anonymously, avoiding deeper relationships as a survival strategy for navigating the social minefield that is teenage life.
> He even describes his constant companion Earl (RJ Cyler), with whom he makes short film parodies of classic movies, as more of a 'co-worker' than a best friend. But when Greg's mom (Connie Britton) insists he spend time with Rachel (Olivia Cooke) - a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer - he slowly discovers how worthwhile the true bonds of friendship can be.​
So loner kid learns the magic of friendship?
With the help of a girl dying from cancer? I hope I don't sound insensitive, but that sounds somewhat... trite.

why is the manic pixie dream girl such a common trope?
 
5:17 PM
yay YA
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Because older white guys keep writing YA novels
 
@GodEmperorDune Probably because it worked well once, so now everyone has to do it.

oh yep, there it is!
 
so teenage authors are better?
or female authors?
or non-white authors?

@GodEmperorDune Generally yes, because they write girls that make sense.
 
Or non-teen white male not-authors.

@GodEmperorDune See above plus also a higher chance of POC and other underrepresented characters
 
@AshleyNunn POC?
ah, nvm

@StrixVaria Well, world peace and real Pokemon come hand-in-hand. Everyone will be too busy cooing over cute Pichus and baby Pokemon instead of fighting wars.

...I just tried to use :w to save in visual studio. Help
 
All that time using vim last semester is goddamn muscle memory apparently
 
@Unionhawk Every time I find myself in vim (which is never on purpose), I do a bunch of random shit before inevitably accidentally entering edit mode and then I have to re-type the beginning of whatever I was typing.
 
@StrixVaria Just press i to enter insert mode and stay there until you need to exit
Now I need to hide because some vim fanatic will hunt me down and kill me in my sleep
 
@PrivatePansy I know how to do it. It's just that since every single other text editor lets you just type right away, I don't remember that I have to do it.
 
5:30 PM
Just press control-c or control-z or whatever the hell to get out of vim
 
@Sterno :q!
 
There's got to be a shell override that kills the process though, right?
 
I'm pretty sure ctrl-c does something else in vim.
 
@Sterno start another shell and do killall vim?
 
@Sterno vim captures ctrl + c, which is why for n00bs keep getting trapped in vim - it's not easy getting out of it
 
5:32 PM
@PrivatePansy that would be when i search google on another machine
 
@PrivatePansy I assume sending EOF (ctrl+d) is useless too? I don't remember
 
For future reference, the sequence of keystrokes is usually esc + : (colon) + q (lowercase) + ! (exclamation mark) + enter
It's not intuitive, to say the least
 
Hmm, sounds like WebSphere can use JKS cert stores. Good, that means when we switch to Websphere, I can just use the existing store instead of trying to figure out how to export the private key.
 
How do you exit emacs if you accidentally enter? ctrl+x, ctrl+z, right?
I know vim a little better than emacs, but neither is ideal.
@Unionhawk I also always do :wq when I want to save, even if I want to keep working, because of muscle memory.
Then I have to re-open the file and re-find where I was working.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, I find myself doing that too
 
5:39 PM
@StrixVaria You can use Ctrl+Z to suspend it, like any shell job
Or you can Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C to quit entirely
 
@murgatroid99 Ah, right. I knew it was x, then one of the letters next to x, but I forgot which way to go.
 
 
@StrixVaria The thing is that since you can suspend with the normal key combination, you can just suspend it and then kill it
If you don't know the other key combinations
