@Serg makes sense
 
@Serg In Soviet Russia, your eyes need bre— oh wait.
:D
 
Facebook sampled data from 160k users and determined cat people are sad and lonely thenextweb.com/shareables/2016/08/09/…
funny source code of thenextweb.com ..if you type in console cyberdelia.knock()
 
welp,shiz . . . . Father tried to do "real talk" with me just now . . . . alas, i ain't got much to say
 
I never had much success with "real talks" with parents either.
 
12:17 AM
try "unreal talk"
 
@Seth Can you edit help center pages?
 
@ByteCommander a few sections, I think.
 
askubuntu.com/help/privileges/flag-posts needs an update in the second last section about retracting flags.
The page states it is not possible, but that got changed recently.
 
@ByteCommander yeah I can't edit that page. You will have to post on Meta Stack Exchange.
 
Meta SE? We need an SE employee to do that?
:-/
I'll ping Shog in a comment below where he gave me that link.
Okay, good night. Late enough again...
 
12:46 AM
Does anyone else get crazy flickering in LibreOffice Calc when the window is resized?
@Seth That was well worth the read.
 
@NathanOsman yeah, i had some issues with that
LibreOffice is buggy in 16.04
I'm switching to WPS
i saw some people fixed it by uninstalling some kind of package , but can't recall what it was
 
@NathanOsman yup
 
Thing is - its interoperability with MS Office is excellent.
Also, Chrome didn't think "interoperability" was a word.
 
Apple doesn't think "interoperability" is a word.
Ever tried to plug an Android phone into a Mac?
 
O_o
George, I think it's your bedtime...
 
1:08 AM
!!/process This statement is false.
 
Hmm... why did my Pi reboot four days ago?
 
@GeorgetheDev interoperability as long as it's another Apple product
@NathanOsman You got me. I 1337 h4xx0r3d in
 
I logged in expecting the uptime to be around 60 days, but it was only 4 days.
Strange because I don't think we had a power outage.
 
46 secs ago, by Zacharee1
@NathanOsman You got me. I 1337 h4xx0r3d in
I tried Kali, got a bit too involved
 
@Zacharee1 Really? Then what's the IP address of the device on the local subnet?
 
1:16 AM
127.0.0.1
:p
 
Wrong!
 
1.3.3.7
when I get my own IP range, I'm making it 1.3.3.x and giving myself 7
 
You can't.
 
192 . 168. 0. 78
 
It's a public address.
There's a website hosted there, BTW.
 
1:17 AM
@NathanOsman you know it's right. You just don't want to admit it
@NathanOsman I can't use it for a private IP range?
 
^--- actual website
 
nothing for me
 
do we want to open that site ?
 
there's a cached copy
 
@Serg I haven't been able to get the home page to load yet.
 
1:18 AM
it's an image, but it's dead
because the site is dead
the name on the image is money.png
 
It tries to load this video: 1.3.3.7/j.mp4
 
oh so it's random
 
the cached title for me is $$$ MONEY TEAM $$$
 
Yup.
Interesting. It won't even load there.
 
1:20 AM
yeah
 
That's the most recent I could find that worked.
 
it shows up in color inverse mode
but I whitelisted the page on my night mode plugin and the image disappeared
 
omfg asterisk is amazing
 
Uh...
Maybe we should stay away from that page, guys.
Looks like a ton of malware is hosted there.
 
so? i'm in Qubes
 
1:22 AM
@Serg you were right to be apprehensive.
 
@KazWolfe whatever do you mean? @KazWolfe
 
those ita;ocs ,ales mp semse
 
@KazWolfe stroke?
@NathanOsman only a few out of a lot get triggered
 
mp/ o
, kidy pggdryyomh
 
PLOT TWIST: I RUN 1.3.3.7 >:)
You have all been p0wned :D
j/k
 
1:24 AM
m night shyamalan would be so proud
 
@KazWolfe stroke
@NathanOsman buahahahahahahahah
@NathanOsman so why can't I use 1.3.3.0?
 
@Zacharee1 because networking
 
@NathanOsman lol, what hacker wouldn't wanna use that domain name ?
 
@Zacharee1 because unicorns
(My answer was better.)
 
OK
 
1:25 AM
@Serg One that was trying not to be obvious :P
 
You can't assign *.0 because it's the identifier
There are edge cases (like a /16), but for the most part it's avoided because it's confusing.
 
A. More than one
Q. How many concurrency programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?
 
So, aside from Java, what other language can land me a job to pay bills ?
 
python, ruby, r, c, c++
 
@Serg Ruby is pretty hot around here.
 
1:27 AM
@KazWolfe I used 0 to define the whole range silly :p
 
I don't want the say the "p" word, but WordPress uses it.
 
@Zacharee1 You should have done 1.3.3.0/24 then
 
@NathanOsman PHP!!!!!!!!!
@KazWolfe sigh
 
CIDR for the win.
@Zacharee1 flagged
 
PHP!!!!!!!!
 
1:27 AM
@NathanOsman how convenient, i planned to learn it this summer
 
how's that?
 
Oh good
I know Arduino and I'm going to learn Java
 
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​oooooooooooooo.
 
just saying 1.3.3.0 can mean any subnet, so...
just use /24 like real net admins :D
 
1:29 AM
@KazWolfe no
 
My "no" was longer.
And more dramatic.
 
then specify a netmask: 1.3.3.X or 1.3.3.0 / 255.255.255.0
 
flag retraction is a thing? or it has always been there but i haven't paid attention?
 
seriously, i need a job . . .
 
Anyone want to learn Prolog or LISP?
 
1:30 AM
@NathanOsman Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss‌​sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss‌​sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss‌​sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss‌​sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss‌​sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss‌​ss
@KazWolfe nein
 
True story - I was once interviewed by a company that was using Erlang in production.
 
@NathanOsman ith lithp any utheful ?

@Serg xD
 
@Serg It has a... reputation.

screw balancing, i'm lazy
 
1:33 AM
@KazWolfe hypocrite
 
oh?
 
It's times like this I remember how nice Python indentation is.
 
you told me to spend the extra effort to us /24 or 255.255.255.0
 
No brace matching. Just and .
 
JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA
 
1:34 AM
then said you were too lazy to balance
@KazWolfe JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP JAVA PHP
 
@Zacharee1 FLAGGED
 
Alright. This chat has become too civilized.
We need...
 
@KazWolfe $.flag
 
LANGUAGE WARS 2.0
 
Is this spam SE day?
 
1:34 AM
@NathanOsman I just scream JAVA PHP for a while
civilized my a**
 
Java is clean and efficient, and is great for beginners and pros!
 
Everyone pick a language and stick with it despite its failings.
 
@KazWolfe the irony is strong with this one
 
matlab
 
@NathanOsman does binary count?
 
1:35 AM
@KazWolfe tell thay to python users
 
gtg
 
@NathanOsman is assigned PHP.
 
Example: "Perl is awesome... BECAUSE I SAID SO!1!!!"
@Zacharee1 Just when it got started... ಠ_ಠ
 
@KazWolfe PHP is a great language if you give it to your enemy. They will soon become exhausted from all of the naming inconsistencies, they will be vulnerable because of the poor security model, and before long, even their youngest children will be "super expert programmers".
 
1:37 AM
it's the user's job to implement security and assign useful/consistent names
plus python has just as many naming inconsistencies, if not more
 
It's the language's job to present a clear contract between what the language does and what is expected that the user will do.
PHP falls so far short of that it isn't even funny.
 
the language says "i will execute exactly what you tell me to, so don't screw up"
 
@KazWolfe Then why not use ASM?
 
@NathanOsman you try writing a webserver in ASM
 
1:39 AM
And that's why we have interpreted languages.
@KazWolfe I've written a webserver in C++, which is only one step up from ASM.
Does that count?
 
how many JMPs did you write?
 
In the web server or when I actually did do ASM?
 
There's a reason why Python code count is higher than Perl count any time you search github. That reason is python is better. period
 
in the webserver
 
None, it's C++.
 
1:41 AM
so no it doesn't count
 
Unless goto counts but I didn't use it.
goto really only has a legitimate use in C.
 
anybody ever tries writing Ubuntu indicators in PHP ?
 
@Serg Vomits.
Please, for the love of all that is good, don't do that.
 
asm will be the thing that makes me throw a computer from the 23rd floor window
 
@KazWolfe At least you can't blame layers of abstraction when something goes wrong.
 
1:42 AM
What about writing a full OS on PHP?
@NathanOsman i can blame the lack of real if statements
 
@KazWolfe you can't throw away microcontroller which has to run your company's code in asm
 
I started writing an OS at one point. It had a working bootloader and displayed a friendly message on boot.
 
@Serg chances are it has a JVM on it
 
Even toasters ship with the JVM these days.
 
@KazWolfe chances are it only works with C and asm. :)
 
1:44 AM
@Serg JVM. Means there's Java
 
PIC for example
 
and I can just run my jarfile
 
It means there's a Java virtual machine.
 
That doesn't necessarily imply Java source code.
Just Java bytecode.
 
1:44 AM
also holy hell dmitry is still alive?
 
@KazWolfe it's a rare breed. most have to be in c or asm
 
It is possible to compile Python down to Java bytecode.
 
he used to make some of the best palm os code
does anyone even have a palm pilot anymore?
 
JAVA JUST CRASHED
SUCH A GREAT LANGUAGE
 
@karel Please don't approve or reject any of my edits any edit suggestions that is posted by me ignore it thank you have a nice day. :)
 
1:58 AM
@HenryWHHackv2.0 ?
 
@KazWolfe I remember those. Never had one though.
They were the direct precursor to the modern day smartphone.
 
2:17 AM
hi
 
@TheXed Hi! :)
 
@Zacharee1 its better then python...
 
@TheXed I beg to disagree
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 The problem with ignoring suggested edits that are garbage is that it builds self-confidence in the editor and the next thing that happens is that he starts to systematically vandalize heavily upvoted answers that contributors have worked hours to create. Providing constant feedback early is the best way to prevent this from happening. Harassing the reviewer for protecting good answers is wrong.
 
@Serg me too...actually, I was just being facetious...
 
2:23 AM
hmmmm, how do i add a note-thingy to my wall above desk . . .
 
@Serg what?
 
@TheXed I wanna add some kind of clipboard or whiteboard to my wall above the desk. The question is what and how do i add . . .
I just want to have something in my face that reminds me what i should be working on
 
@Serg, oh well your options are KDE...
Or Windows 10 with Ink :P
Or Cortona...which has annoyed the crap out of me today with reminders...
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 I'm serious about this. Once a rogue editor is loose in the wild, good useful answers start to become useless one by one, and there is nobody there to catch it. An answer that worked for years suddenly stops working and starts to get downvoted. The editor has a lot of power on Ask Ubuntu. He should not use this power to make himself into a despotic absolute ruler of the whole website.
 
Or maybe I could use OSD in python and write my own thingy . . . .
OR generate wallpaper image with that
 
2:28 AM
OSD?
 
see , there's the difference - my mind instantly started spinning with possible ideas on how to implement such thing. Maybe I don't know enough C or Java to do that, but in python ideas go instantly
@TheXed On Screen Display , generic term for anything that displays text over your desktop
notify-osd is an example
 
@Serg oh yes of course...
I worked a 16 hour day...I am a little slow tonight...
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 And furthermore there are editors that are wilfully destructive. How is a reviewer supposed to be able to distinguish between naive stupidity and wilfull destructiveness? And even if this was possible, does it even matter? All human beings make mistakes sometimes, even you, so don't ask me for any special privileges which you don't deserve.
 
@TheXed I understand, my mom also used to work 16 hours. . . .really takes a toll on a person. Recently she slowed down
 
@TheXed Most I've done is 12 hours.
 
2:31 AM
When I was working in restaurant , sometimes I would work 12 hours , but not always . . .
 
16 is impressive. Good job.
 
@NathanOsman not by choice..
and I am salary which makes it even worse...
 
Extortion? :D
 
@NathanOsman its called School starts in a week and no one is going to do it but me.
 
You need a hit-by-bus policy
 
2:32 AM
What's with chromium and AU chat . . . it doesnt auto scroll, but gets stuck on the last post to cross orange borders
 
@NathanOsman which is?
 
@TheXed What happens if you get hit by a bus?
 
@Serg Chrome has been doign some strange things...
as well
@NathanOsman They prop me up and roll me around...
 
@TheXed What if it really hit you hard? So hard that you can't think straight. Y'know, where you come to work and start telling everyone to switch to DOS.
"What do you mean it won't print? Go get a serial cable and type "PRINT" at the prompt!"
 
@NathanOsman actually I did tell someone today I was going to upgrade them to Windows 98....Maybe a bus isn't required to not make me think straight...
 
2:35 AM
I have Windows 98.
...in a virtual machine.
 
upgrade . . . to windows 98 ???
 
@Serg see...
 
It is an upgrade if you have Windows 95.
 
what do they have now ???
 
Just sayin'.
 
2:36 AM
@NathanOsman I almost had to lay a beating down on a custodian today...
 
Is Windows 98 an upgrade from NT 4.0?
That's a hard question to answer.
 
I was walking down the hall and I had my bag on my back...with all my stuff in it..
and he came up behind me and I am not sure of course because he was behind me...but he kicked it...
or hit it...
I was like "Go* damnit there is a computer in there!"
 
Do I want to know why someone would kick a bag on your back?
 
@NathanOsman Because he missed my ass?
 
And why did he want to kick that? :D
 
2:39 AM
Because it is sexy :-P
 
Awkward silence.
 
I walk 15k+ steps a day...I should have at least that much going for me...
Actually today I reached 16k steps :-D
 
Nice.
 
Starting the week off strong...
 
well, um . . . happy chinese valentines day
this dum dum didn't even know
( insensitive bastard in disguise )
 
2:42 AM
can someone send me a screen shot of their chat window?
I hit something on my keyboard and it flashed...
and now I am not sure if it looks right...
 
user image
2
Like that?
 
OH wait I figured it out...
It was zoomed in...
 
You missed it...
 
@NathanOsman no I see it...
 
@NathanOsman lol
 
2:45 AM
Chrome Dev Tools FTW.
 
I chose not to acknowledge that I am weird...
 
@Zacharee1 Not very subtle.
 
yours is I suppose?
 
At least I have the same theme.
Yours is all "night mode".
 
2:48 AM
yeah
much easier on the eyes
for me it looks more natural than yours :p
 
@Zacharee1 that darkness is confusing...
 
You must like the Arqade chat then.
 
@TheXed THAT DARKNESS DOES NOT CARE WHAT PUNY MORTALS THINK OF IT
@NathanOsman it's dark?
 
um . . . .where is chat in relation to stackexchange main site ?
 
one subdomain up
 
2:50 AM
@Zacharee1 well puny mortals don't care what you think...
 
@TheXed I'm not that darkness
 
Oh no.
I'm getting mixed up with RPG.SE.
 
@Zacharee1 good point...
 
Oh wait.
 
wat
 
2:50 AM
I'm getting mixed up with something else
 
drugs?
 
How many cameras does your phone have?
 
@TheXed 20
 
@Zacharee1 lies
 
2:52 AM
That one has a dark theme.
@TheXed Including ones attached via USB?
 
@TheXed fine 98
 
no seriously , how do i navigate to chat ?
 
No, physically on the phone
 
@Serg what do you mean?
 
2:53 AM
how do i get from this stackexchange.com to chat ?
 
Aha, purrfect
Ok, let's see if webapp-container treats AU chat better than chromium
 
It looks like a windows 98 plus theme..
 
ah, darn - file selection dialog doesn't work
 
haha
 
2:57 AM
so i cannot post screenshots . . .
