:D
oh. :P
But yes, that one is quite funny.
^-- only mildly annoying
getting a smokey ping every single message.
How to get all the reddit gold: Be Gabe Newell
04:26
watch it to the end. You won't be disappointed.
how you know you work in a tech startup: they have an actual open bar in the office.
is @Seth insta-nuking spam?
seth is desperately trying not to be bored by homework and pay attention.
but how many times must he read the basics of networking? -.-
so he is. good to know.
i was wondering why spam kept getting nuked so fast.
sorta?
why and what do you need?
eh, nevermind.
but i want to help
04:41
if I decide to do it I'll ping you sometime
(i don't know if i even can help, so... i'm not good at photoshop and photo editing. or art in general)
hey, @NathanOsman, is George ever going to make a new video?
Yes, I started one.
But I don't have access to the good microphone I usually use ATM, so it will take at least that long before the next one.
because we've been starved for content for 3 months.
I know, trust me, it bothers me too.
I've done some filming for it though.
oh god, i just had a terrible great idea.
We Are Number One by George Edison.
04:53
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS DECENT AND GOOD, NO.
gotta get some of that meme cred
Actually, hmm...
or George Edison armed with a 1000 degree knife.
Nah, too much work.
you sure?
04:53
George gets a hydraulic press? :D
just use blender for everything else, film in front of greenscreen
that meme is dead.
you have to hit a culturally relevant meme.
I already film in front of a green screen - for all but the last one.
if you do a meme video, you have to run it with something culturally significant at the moment.
so you're technically on the late end of We Are Number One anyways...
04:55
I know that. And the song was stuck in my head a long time ago.
Though they did just recently release the separate audio tracks IIRC.
So you could potentially have a lot of fun with that.
Anyway.
hm. George Plays Overwatch!
He may or may not be playing a game in the next video.
But it isn't Overwatch.
supertuxkart? :P
or no...
i have it
George gets hired by Valve to work on HL3
@Seth i'm betting portal 1/2
05:11
@KazWolfe accurate.
seriously cisco? how did you get that wrong?
@KazWolfe Did you read the comments from Gabe's AMA?
@NathanOsman i did
Guess what roughly half of the 12,000 comments were asking :D
@NathanOsman well, he did confirm that the HL or Portal universe was getting some new IP.
05:13
They were actually banning the number "3" from posts at one point.
Which is probably a movie, actually.
(HL3, Portal 3, etc.)
Yeah, he confirmed a movie.
Because GabeN confirmed a movie, that I know.
He also didn't comment on single-player games.
Oh well.
he sorta did, halfway, ish.
05:14
He did?
Must have missed that one.
oh, no, L4D is co-op
well, can we start asking about portal 4?
If Valve was Disney, Portal 3 would be about Chell's daughter growing up and sneaking back into Aperture, finding a trapped man, falling in love, defeating GlaDOS, and then they live happily ever after.
@NathanOsman NOPE.
05:17
I knew you would say that.
But it was still funny.
Mostly because it's literally impossible.
plus, eww, age gap.
Maybe we could pull the Ratman back into the story.
let's assume chell was 20-something (biologically, i don't care about statis) when she escaped.
We never did find out what happened to him.
Aperture won't hire anyone younger than 18 because legal.
05:20
Legal... Aperture???
So assuming Chell finds her love in 5 years + has a kid, the minimum age of someone in Aperture would be 23.
because disney, the kid is gonna be 18 when she heads back, so the youngest person there will be 41.
Unless we let statis be a thing, which we technically can't, because the power failure killed everyone in long-term storage.
Well...
in The Bridge, 32 secs ago, by SaintWacko
@NathanOsman I'd play it
So we have one taker.
so we have an 18 year old faling in love with a 41 year old.
:D
Fine, maybe she falls in love before going back into Aperture.
@KazWolfe that's agist ;p
or her love disappears inside aperture science, and she goes in to save him.
And runs into the ratman
AND HIJINKS ENSUE!
05:23
That could work.
And then for bonus points, they have to descend back into the older buildings to re-seal all the stuff Chell opened in Portal 2 :P
you also have the spunky sidekick
This conversation took on a life of its own in The Bridge, for all interested parties :D
06:12
meh, meta is boring right now -_-

Q: How do I fix an unexpected inconsistency on my Linux partition?

sunilI'm receiving the following error on boot: /dev/sda6: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY in ubuntu 16.04 fsck /dev/sda6 is not working. How do I fix things? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04

VLQ Q&A pair.
06:43
also, sometimes i hate deleted posts everywhere.
askubuntu.com/questions/873214/… -- appears to be a rant/god knows how many questions in one/vlq/etc.
07:05
Hey, can we watch this user, please? askubuntu.com/users/643653/ccunlimited
cc @Seth @ThomasWard, any other mods that like me.
07:18
I'm having trouble signing into Travis-CI...
@NathanOsman well that's just because jenkins is better
I have a Jenkins server but I'm trying not to clutter it up.
also, github enterprise is amazing but so damn expensive.
@Hizqeel Just type How to Ask ([ask]) or How to Answer ([answer])
07:27
@KazWolfe Got it ...(Edited)
at least gitlab enterprise is good. sorta.
still expensive, but better product and cheaper.
@Hizqeel just wanted to make sure you're aware :D
omg what happened... we got 242 in the CV queue D:
I better get to work...
But now I've embarked on writing an epic meta post...
07:41
@Zanna ooh?
@KazWolfe in fact two, both answers to your questions
oh, neat.
i'm looking forward to them.
:) may only get one done today
damnit gitlab, stop breaking things.
07:56
Hello everybody ! :)
@cl-netbox hi 0/ :) How are you doing?
@Hizqeel Fine ... thank you ! :) What about yourself ? Good morning (here) Hizqeel ! :)
@cl-netbox ahh Good Morning (Noon) here :) Well I am good thank you :)
@Hizqeel Good to hear ... I better avoid asking about kitty - right ?
@cl-netbox mmm Don't know what to say on that(may be you can ask as you like) But I will keep hoping for her return
08:07
@Hizqeel yes ... that's what I meant ...
Good morning terdon ! :)
@Hizqeel Just read that the Bulls have been beaten by the Mavs (98:99) ... :)
@cl-netbox They won their last 2 matches but today was the complete nail biting match as Bulls just lost their 2 quarter and by 30-19
But I think Luck was with MAvericks :|
@Hizqeel that's what I think too ... although Dirk is known to be a hard fighter, which might have made the difference. :)
@cl-netbox I admire him :) but Jimmy Butler leads in every corner(POINTS, ASSISTS ) and REBOUNDS :)
08:22
@Hizqeel Yeah, but don't forget that Dirk is in the autumn of his career and still very important for the team as a (mentality) leader. :)
@cl-netbox No doubt.. :)
@Hizqeel I think the Bulls would need a fighter such as Charles Barkley was in older days to get back to full glory - what do you think ?
08:40
@Hizqeel Or a player with a great fighting mentality like Dennis Rodman to name one of Chicagol's own history ...
Good morning @Zanna ! :)
@cl-netbox morning :)
@Zanna How are you doing ? :)
08:55
@cl-netbox superfine thanks! How about yourself?
@Zanna hahaha ... that's what I wanted to hear ! :) Thanks for asking ... I am fine too ! :)
excellent :)
@Zanna In the last days I couldn't find many good questions to answer, but the last two I answered were quite interesting ... hope the users can solve their problems successfully with my instructions ! :)
ah I hope so too
I haven't been around to answer anything, I guess I should take a look to see if there's anything muru heemayl steeldriver and terdon haven't already expertly dealt with
@Zanna when they follow exactly without modifying something it should work fine ... :)
@Zanna Well that's a tough approach ... especially when it comes to answers from @terdon ... he has huge experience and great overall knowledge ! :)
Good morning @ByteCommander ! :) I see you have a new old avatar ... :D
09:05
awww, shucks!
@terdon ??? what does "awww, shucks" mean ? :)
It's kinda hard to define.
It's often used in situations like "Mary, you're really grat! Aww shucks, thanks!"
Sort of a modest, slightly embarrassed answer to praise.
@cl-netbox they need kobe bryant spirit and Micheal jordan's (Air Jordan) :p :)
@terdon no reason to feel like that, no reason to be embarrassed ... it's simply the truth - you are having all what I said above ... and more ... ! :)
Don't worry, I wasn't particularly embarrassed :) It's also a self-deprecating way of accepting a compliment.
09:12
@Hizqeel and Scotty Pippen and ... and ... and ... :)
@terdon Then it's okay ... you're welcome ! :) By the way, I indeed didn't see "awww, shucks" before ... so again learned something new ! :)
@cl-netbox :p :D
@Hizqeel Are the Bulls your all time favorite team ? :)
@cl-netbox YESH... :) But I do like Lakers too :)
@cl-netbox I haven't Asked But To whom you support Or like the most or a FAN ?? :)
@Hizqeel Good choice ! :)
@Hizqeel I have no favorite team ... there are many great teams in the NBA - that makes it so interesting ... I sometimes have favorite players like the mentioned Charles Barkley or Dennis Rodman or Michael Jordan or Detlef Schrempf (old German Seatlle Supersonics hero) or Dirk Nowitzki ... :)
@Hizqeel But there are some teams I prefer a bit : Dallas / Houston / LA ... and in older times Chicago and Seattle too ! :)
@cl-netbox So you just enjoy the match :)
09:28
@Hizqeel Not because he comes from Germany ... but : most because of his great character and his fighting skills ! :)
@cl-netbox You really love Dirk alot :p
@cl-netbox they are good :)
@Hizqeel You know what my absolute favorite all time sports heroes are ? Ayrton Senna da Silva and Mike Tyson ! :)
@cl-netbox indeed :) however even terdon isn't omniscient and there might have been a nice question posted while he was asleep or something
@cl-netbox I don't know Ayrton Senna da Silva but Mike Tyson is legend..! What about Muhammad Ali ?
@Zanna hahaha ... good that you didn't mention @Serg ... he is present exactly 24/7 ... and this over the whole year ... EVERY year ! :D :D :D
09:36
@cl-netbox Serg usually answers questions I have no idea how to approach :)
@Hizqeel You do not know Ayrton Senna ??? The best Formula 1 Champion ever !!! -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayrton_Senna He won races with cars where all other drivers would have reached the last position ... and Ali ? of course I liked him too ... especially those fights against Joe Frazier ! :)
@Zanna Same with me ... :D
@cl-netbox Actually I don't :( ....!
@Hizqeel Then you have missed a lot ... a great human being also : he spent a lot of his income to help Brazilian children ... a very nice man with a great character ... and THE leader of F1 in those times ... :) His death was a shock for many, many people in the whole world ... including me !
@cl-netbox Ohh he hold a tremendous record :)

We should make this site start with a huge message DON'T REMOVE PYTHON askubuntu.com/questions/873302/…
@JacobVlijm so many things depend on python these days
@MarkYisri absolutely true (or True) :)
duping it
same
aah nice to be here :)
12:15
woah 2 meta answers eh
massive meta answers hahaha
there is a run-on sentence in one of the posts :p
oh dear
I always re-read my meta posts many times
I will go check
um... I want to close this? askubuntu.com/questions/873313/… Do others disagree?
CVed
@Zanna voted to close it ! :)
12:28
wow mine was the fifth - that was fast
@Zanna horrible question ! also very arrogant ! I usually do not downvote things (I prefer trying to help and improve things) - but this time I did.
> As a single woman without any children waiting until I am past child-bearing age to learn a new skill is unacceptable for me because I do want children and a husband. Going back to school is also not an option for me because of money and time.
WTF?
@terdon yes ... unbelievable !
haha I didn't even read that much
I am not a single woman, but definitely past child-bearing age. I think I need to learn new skills.

And no one even thought of leaving one close vote open for me?
12:41
lots of CVed things lying around for you to vote on it seems

@Zanna I've been slacking :/

hahaha I am certainly spending too much time sleeping or "trying" to
14:22
@Zanna Excuse me that I re-edited your edit on this question -> askubuntu.com/questions/873333/cant-resize-partitions-in-ubuntu Hope you don't mind ... :) And I answered the question ... :)
@cl-netbox of course not, why would I mind? My edit was clearly imperfect. Please feel free always to re-edit my edits
explodes
@jokerdino greetings to thee
hello sir
@jokerdino Hello Sir ! :D
14:33
@cl-netbox Did you reset your icon to gravatar standard? o.O
Your icon on the left of the messages is such a default green triangle pattern, but in the user list on the right it's still the blue "cl".
@ByteCommander no - why ? I see the "cl" avatar here and on the main site. :)

@cl-netbox ^^
You're buggy.
@Zanna Okay - thank you ... oh ... just see that I forgot the important word "Please" ... sorry ! :)
@ByteCommander really ? hope not ... please look at this ->
@ByteCommander Looks like you're buggy. I also see the cl icon.
14:39
Now it's back.
/shrug
Previous Ctrl+F5 did not help though.
No idea what happened. Probably some variant of shouldiblamecaching.com
@terdon I haz perl question. Is there a way to print without auto trailing newline ? Something like printf("%s","hello world") in C or, print("hello world",end="") in python ?
@Serg uhm, print?
$ perl -lane 'my $line = $_; chomp($line); my $sq = "\047" ;  "$sq$line$sq" ' < input.txt
The regular print doesn't add a newline. It only does so in one liners if you're using -l.
Yeah, remove -l
And there's no reason to have a $line variable there. Also, no point in using chomp() and -l, the -l turns on auto chomp.
O_o
14:45
perl -lne '$sq = "\047" ;  printf "%s%s%s", $sq, $_, $sq ' input.txt
The -a is also not doing anything useful there.
Alternatively:
perl -ne 'chomp; $sq = "\047" ;  print "$sq$_$sq"' input.txt
So, with -l, you don't need chomp but print adds a newline. Without it, you need to explicitly chomp but no newline is added.
Usually you want to chomp (remove the trailing newline) which is why you so often see one-liners with -l.
Basically, in Perl, pretty much everything defaults to $_. So, chomp == chomp($_) and $_ =~ /foo/ == /foo/ etc.
Thank you again for explanation. I'm still trying to figure out how to operate all the things
perl is weird, yes.
It's worth learning the different command line switches. Or, rather, specifically what each of -a, -n, -e, -p, -l and -0 do. Those are the only ones I tend to use.
that's all that must be known :)
Weird? Perhaps. Still the best damn language for regex-based text processing though.
14:52
looks at Python and all the regex based text handling/processing that is being done in SmokeDetector
I thought Python was slightly weird at first. Then I got used to it and it feels quite natural
@terdon if you say so.
Especially I love readability
@ThomasWard I don't say it, the master does!
> Phenomenally Exquisite Regex Language

I’ve been asked to point out that my proferred solution to your problem has been written in Perl. Are you surprised? Did you not notice? Is this revelation a bombshell?

I must confess that I find this request bizarre in the extreme, since anybody who can’t figure that out from looking at the very first line of my program surely has other mental disabilities as well.

It is true that not all other tools and programming languages are quite as convenient, expressive, and powerful when it comes to regexes as Perl is. There’s a big spectrum out there, wi

Heh, have a look at /dev/chat :)
Aaaaand Perl answer added
Also , sh!t I'm gonna be late for work @_@
@Serg Nice, +1! I assume you only use perl -e '' < input.txt instead of just perl -ne input.txt because you like it and know that it isn't needed, right?
um . . . actually that's exactly the reason . . .
^_^''''
good arfternoon
15:00
@IanC Good afternoon Ian ! :)
how are you doing @cl-netbox?
@IanC All good so far - what's up on your side ? :)
@cl-netbox all good too, just completely tired from the last 2 days
@IanC What have you done ?
@Serg Ah :) No, perl takes a file as an argument. Without -n or similar flags, it will treat it as a script and execute it and with -n &co it will read it. Just like awk.
15:04
@cl-netbox You're green again... :-/
I don't understand it.
@ByteCommander nothing changed here ... :)
@terdon I looked into the cc license. I don't actually see how: *Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material* relates to editin g posts :)
Screw this toaster
:34854887 Yeah, it was that bit :)
The operative word being adapt.
(sorry, pasting is a difficult thing)
15:06
@JacobVlijm I don't see how it couldn't. If the license is applied to a post, that means anyone has the right to remix, transform, and build upon it. That covers editing.
@cl-netbox went out surfing monday and yesterday for several hours, with no much sleep in between :p
in any case, this is a well established, site-wide policy and is the cornerstone on which the success of SE is built. Editing is encouraged. And yes, of course that includes code. Hell, we're talking about a site that was first created exclusively for programmers. How could code be considered a special case when, until SE started growing, it was the default?
remix is not so much edit the original. of course anyone is entitled to use it (and edit) as they like.
I am by the way not saying one should not edit code.
@IanC yeah then I can understand why you're a bit tired ! :)
@ByteCommander Yeah, don't, that's a sure fire way to get burned.
Or to blow something up. Or call down doom from above.
15:09
@cl-netbox I was going to wake up 4:50 today to go surfing in a town nearby, but it didn't workout, which I think is actually good so I can recover a bit until the weekend haha
@JacobVlijm Great! So we agree.
@IanC :D
@terdon it is the conditions on which we differ.
@ThomasWard No worries, that's your job :P
@edwinksl and?
awww I got banned from reviewing again, I'm so stupid
what happened this time
exactly the same thing!!!
same queue, same type of audit, same thought process
Hahahaha! Sorry, but this is just too good!
Zanna failed a review on a spam post that she had pointed out as spam!
:P
15:46
hahahahahaha
> this is spam, please flag – Zanna Jan 3 at 8:50
priceless. . . :)
oh man I'm so stupid hahaha
it's because I assume it's an audit and don't bother to read
time to reinstate reviewing privilege
15:48
I can't, I'm afraid. Mods have no control over this sort of automatic ban. Just like if you're question banned.
@Zanna tsk tsk tsk
@edwinksl hmmm maybe time for Zanna to retire to her cave...
how long does the ban last?
@terdon Seth revoked it the last time I got banned
@edwinksl 4 days
@Zanna Oh? We can do that? Hang on then.
15:49
@terdon hahaha terdon I probably don't deserve it
@Zanna that is 4 days too many
Admittedly, that should have been a vote to delete but hey, given the number of reviews you do, I'm sure your actual percentage of correct reviews is higher than most.
hahaha I hope so >_<
@terdon SETH can do that. You are a n00b mod not deserving that privilege it seems >:-D
um, what?
@Rinzwind Evil is come to you.
15:53
lol
@Rinzwind Actually, I think I've been a mod longer than Seth :)
That said, @Zanna you're free again.
@Rinzwind hahaha noob mod @terdon ... Good afternoon Rinzy ! :)
@terdon not on the site it matters >:)
Fair enough
@ThomasWard I dare you to delete my rep :=)
15:53
crisis averted
@Rinzwind issues 30d suspend Done.
(lol just kidding!)
hmm, Zanna is just clicking buttons.
And no, Seth beats me by a few months anyway.
@terdon Congrats @Zanna ! :) It's always good to have some friends around - right ? :D
i take iguana over blurry guitar any day
15:54
Zanna messed up and see those mods pop up @Zanna :+)
@edwinksl Hey, at least it's a real guitar, none of that stuffed dolly nonsense!
@terdon <3 thank you!!
2 spams approved in a matter of 30 days.
boxy!
late
@terdon hahah good point
15:55
glares at Zanna
Yeah, I don't think the auto review tool corrects by percentages.
