Q: Connection Issues On Minecraft Servers

user195911When i play online in, of course, minecraft i always seem to have connection issue s. I always have lag spikes that can occur between a few seconds to the point that i get timed out from the server, this is very frustrating and makes the game unplayable online, but everything else on my laptop t...

@Memor-X I suspect more for the amusement value than anything
 
holy crap google photos is amazing
 
@Lazers2.0 Can this get closed as dupe? It's attracting answers
 
12:14 AM
@Avery it's pretty good at finding cats too
 
yeah
now for the ultimate test
YES
(I searched girl, It returned most of my selfies)
 
It was able to identify locations on some of my pictures from Italy
Those pictures were not geotagged
 
@Unionhawk were they uploaded while in italy?
 
Nope
 
I guess it must've been somewhat recognizable places
 
12:17 AM
The only thing it had was "this looks similar to other pictures at Vatican City" and a handful of other locations
@Avery this is excellent
 
@Unionhawk indeed
 
well, google thinks my mom's dog is a cat
it also thinks my cat is a dog
I guess cat and dog is the same thing for google
 
user15026
@Avery niiiiiice <3
 
@Chippies yeah it's not the best at differentiating small dogs from cats sometimes
 
(oh and I did check and "boy" doesn't return anything I took in last ~4 months so it does not have a broad sense of gender which just all makes me happy)

Q: Overwatch said I was going to be unbanned in less then a minute but it got banned again before even starting

BrianI'm still banned even though it said I have less then a minute and then it said banned again

 
@GodEmperorDune it's recurring and fake every time
 
user15026
@Yuuki I approve of your punning
 
12:48 AM
Yeah, no way sharks are going to swim this far in even if there's water.
 
@Unionhawk :(
i suppose the sharks in the tornados was fake too?
and they didn't need to use explosives to end them?
 
@Yuuki "Thanks!"

Q: What does "Placed: ++" mean in manyland?

MasonWhat does "Placed: ++" mean in manyland? Some of my friends have that and it is confusing me. It says "Placed 10k+" for me and I know what that means. I just need to know what the "++" means. It's been bugging me for a week.

 
1:53 AM
gnight bridge
 
I never usually watch Hearthstone on Twitch but I just randomly stumbled across a stream and holy crap the ability to hover cards on the stream to see what they do is nuts.
If only it worked for cards in hand too.
 
2:09 AM
Huh, how would that work? Is it some sort of special Twitch integration that feeds metadata about the game into Twitch?
I can understand how it would work if it was within the game itself
 
No idea how it works behind the scenes, but it's neat.
 
Woo! Finished the second labyrinth trial! ...stupid traps.
 
user15026
I feel like I am probably close to being done the story parts of Ever Oasis and that sucks because I have been really enjoying it. (I know that because I am actually going to finish the story. That hardly ever happens with me and games.)
 
2:28 AM
@Ash That means it's a good game!
 
user15026
@Frank it really is. It's cute and fun and not overly difficult. It's a perfect me sort of game.
 
user15026
Oh, neat. I was worried about Hey Pikmin because it needs circle pad and stylus and I am left handed but I was trying the demo again and I can use the abxy buttons as a dpad so I can use my stylus with my left hand. Go Nintendo, for giving me that option.
 
Times I wish I didn't have trouble sleeping: right now.
 
Oh wait what? Postgresql 9.5 added the best feature and I didn't even notice. Where's @Unionhawk when I need to blame someone?
 
user15026
2:53 AM
@GodEmperorDune Great British Bake Off starts tomorrow and I am tentatively excited because baking but also nervous because no Sue. It's conflicting.
 
@TimStone UPSERT?
 
Yesssss
I actually don't even need the UP part, I just need to ignore the violation during inserts
 
@TimStone hello
 
Luckily for you I'm now inclined to blame @PrivatePansy since he knew what I was referring to
 
3:02 AM
It's nice that syntax sugar for partitions is coming in 10 too, having to set up the triggers manually for that always felt dirty
 
@Ash can't chat because I am making some nuoc Cham!
5 minutes to prepare, my butt
Oh man fish sauce is REALLY potent
 
3:17 AM
@GodEmperorDune Can confirm, am Asian.
 
user15026
3:30 AM
@GodEmperorDune yes. Yes it is. See what I mean about not using a lot?
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Yesssss. I highly recommend some rice noodles (I like it with cold noodles myself)
 
@Ash yeah I added it little by little so I taste it in the sauce by itself, but don't taste it when I mixed it with the noodles
I used udon instead of rice
I suppose I shall dump more fish sauce in until it works
Cause right now it's sweet lime noodles only
 
user15026
Yeah then you want a bit more fishy sauce. It should be like a little...idk..funky sweet lime? Like not overly fishy.
 
Ok I shall experiment further
 
user15026
4:04 AM
Blergh. Dear people who write queer romance, if the only thing I ever learn about your characters is how damn queer they are, your book sucks.
 
@Ash like there is a a queerness scale?
or they are checking off every stereotype box? or what?
unrelated
genie: please no millipede: more legs
ugh onebox formatting once again ruins this meme
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune its basically like queer bingo, how many orientation buzzwords can we jam into one person
 
@Ash ugh that is terrible
 
user15026
Yep. And the author I am reading keeps doing it. I hoped she learned after her first book but nope. Like. I get queer romances will have some orientation focus because well romance bit if that's all your characters are, just their orientation and nothing else, I get bored.
 
also @ash do you watch black mirror?
 
user15026
4:20 AM
@GodEmperorDune I do not, what is it
 
@Ash a netflix near term scifi anthology series
you should watch the episode san junipero in season 3 if nothing else
 
I've watched the first few episodes of black mirror and I find it really unsettling
 
most of the episodes are like that
but san junipero is this ultra magical lesbian romance that is full of feels
optimistic future, whereas most of the eps are dystopian
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I am intrigued. Do I need to watch the whole show?
 
@Ash nope, each ep is self contained
 
user15026
4:24 AM
Because dystopian stuff wobbles me something hard
 
each episode has different cast, setting, internal logic, everything
 
user15026
Okay cool, so I can just show up for that and not touch the rest! Yay! I like the idea of ultra magical lesbian romance that is full of feels.
 
user15026
(I really want to read more f/f romance but it is hard to find. There is so much m/m but not a lot of f/f and that sucks. Even when you get a bi lady, she ends up with a dude 90 percent of the time.)
 
user15026
4:44 AM
So the biggest thing I take from that is kinda ridiculous but here you go: the way he speeds up the text to speech and all the people going "how do you understand things at that speed" is like an auditory version of what happens while I am reading.
 
@Ash waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
like i can kinda pick up a word or two out of that
but wow
@ash you literally have a superpower imo
 
user15026
Like it's not exactly the same but it feels the same. Like the auditory is too fast for me to pick up more than a handful of words but it has the same feel as what happens in my head when I read
 
that is really cool
 
user15026
(I read at alnost double the speed of those voices, if it's 450 wpm. I read at about 800-900wpm)
 
user15026
So it's interesting to think about.
 
user15026
4:59 AM
It's fun seeing it from another side because I think he is super cool but I forget I have my own superpower. Because I am used to me!
 
user15026
5:28 AM
@GodEmperorDune that Illuminae book sounds good but I am so bad at epistolary stuff (and this counts as that, I think). It just doesn't ever gel with me.
 
@Ash ah is it? i found it from that video games to books thing
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune yeah, I read the Goodreads description and it is all told through "hacked files" and IMs and stuff
 
ugh that's probably going to suck then
 
user15026
Which is a interesting way to tell that story, I am just bad at keeping it all in my head
 
i can kinda tolerate that in a game but i still find it annoying
 
user15026
5:39 AM
Yeah, it's not my favorite method of storytelling
 
user15026
Oh hey, when I finish the book I started tonight it will be book 300 for the year.
 
noice
 
user15026
I'm just amused because last year I read like 275 or something and thought it was a lot. I have no idea why I am reading so much this year.
 
6:26 AM
I mean it starts with red cross which is /shrug so that makes the whole thing /shrug
 
7:08 AM
@Ash i read about that speed as well. when i first start reading anything, i start off reading it slower, but once i get into it i read a lot faster

Q: World download for servers

ErbestI was playing a server which consists of insane builds. I wanted to download these maps, but when I tried the world downloader mod, it does not work. Is there a solution to download it without using any mods?

 
9:00 AM
I can't wait for patch 7.3 tomorrow
 
9:26 AM
Same here. I can finally raid again yay
Also no more grinding for follower equipment and relic slots on alts. Probably my favorite part

Q: Are inventory slots shared?

David YellAre the inventories between my exosuit, starship and exocraft shared? If I want to craft an item in my exosuit inventory and I have parts spread across all three inventories will the game know this and pull the items it needs, assuming they're in range. Or do I have to transfer items from my ex...

 
So I got my phone back. And now my laptop charger is fuct
 
What happened?
 
Cable frayed near the power brick
*sigh*. I should take better care of my stuff.
To be fair the phone problem was a known manufacturing defect
Anyway, don't buy Asus. This laptop's hinge has broken twice already, and the battery just randomly stopped working one day.
I won't be surprised if the charger problem was also a defect, but the service guy said they won't accept it.
 
I never ever got good results with service/warranty
they keep blaming all on users here, even for known manifacturing defects
 
I got pretty good result with servicing by Sony. Not only did they replaced the screen with a hairline crack free of charge, they also replaced a bunch of other components that were worn out, like the USB cover which was missing the rubber ring, and cleaned out the dust stuck in the speaker grills
 
10:52 AM
I normally don't have to deal with warranty/customer service, but I did have amazing service with Logitech. They replaced my mouse for free after few emails back and forth
 
11:52 AM
Well that was easy enough. Thank you locust.
I've been worried my boss was basically going to tell my to not do varnish, because "I don't want to overcomplicate things" and "Varnish might be overkill" and "I'm worried about the deadline", but a very quick test reveals that actually, I was right all along, varnish is something we 100% need and he has no idea what he's talking about since he knows nothing about servers.
 
12:08 PM
@Wipqozn Varnish?
 
Varnish rocks
 
@Wipqozn I'm not sure why your servers are made out of wood
Isn't that a fire hazard?
 
@Nzall Wood is better for the ecosystem
 
@Wipqozn "But is it webscale?"
 
12:15 PM
@GodEmperorDune I could understand the whole synthesised voice paragraph, but that's probably just because I'd just read it prior

Q: Is there any kind of official/recommended ruleset for tournaments?

GrirgThere's a local tournament close to my town, and seeing the ruleset they posted on their site I think they are not familiarized enough with the game's competitive scene. This ruleset lists stuff like "Stage will always be random omega" and "3 stocks 5 minutes". I don't want to blame anyone nor g...

 
@GodEmperorDune I've had a blind coworker for a while
a few things
- not having a monitor is unpractical since you occasionally get stuck and need help from a sighted person
- his voice was indeed set to be super fast but the voice synthesizer can be made to read individual words or letters, which he'd regularly do when looking at unfamiliar things
 
@Wipqozn Seems like something that would be easy to add and gives a pretty good performance boost, i.e. a no-brainer.
 
- they can't set their phones to silent. I mean, they can, maybe, but if they want to look at notifications, it'll be out loud
- they can however usually hear you on top of the TTS which is kind of amazing
- he used OS X and an iPhone and things were still kinda shitty
- unlike this dev, he used emacs and didn't have indentation guides and historically struggled quite a lot with python
- but then again my coworker didn't use a braille screen so
 
12:36 PM
I'm curious how many blind devs work on GUI stuff, be it web page graphical design, or applications that are heavily GUI centric. A GUI isn't something that can always be easily expressed through a braille screen.
 
@MBraedley eh, depends on the app usually
 
@Nzall Well, I was referring specifically to what @Wipqozn is working on.
 
@MBraedley They're great for developing accessible software though
 
@Wipqozn A coworker (with a little bit of help from me) wrote a thing called PHAT as a way to quickly sketch together some integration tests for things or dev environments that don't or can't really do unit testing
 
@Nzall Oh, no doubt. My opinions might be coloured by some of the stuff I've worked on, which would be impossible for a blind person to use (and because of the customer, we're all but guaranteed that no blind person will ever use it), and therefore make it very difficult for a blind person to do development work on.
 
12:45 PM
you write a JSON file with a bunch of invariants against a few URLs and a relatively tiny python thing checks if they are correct
it can do selenium and stuff
maybe that'll help you kickstart you some tests
it's been recently open sourced it but I don't know in what state of disrepair the stripping of our internals has left the thing :P
 
Got a link? That sounds interesting
 
the json "language" isn't very well defined (there's no formal syntax or validator -- each plugin looks at each test and decides if it needs to do anything, so the overall legal syntax is the union of each plugin's)
but it worked well enough for us
 
@MBraedley Well there's also the learning process, since no one in the building is that familiar with it. We have it on the herald.ca boxes, but it was setup by a dev whose no longer here. It's been an interesting learning experience to be sure. It's certainly easier to do a basic setup than my boss seems to think, but he has just no understanding of server stuff... frankly he's more concerned with how pretty it looks. Which I get, but I'm more concerned with if it's going to handle the load.
 
12:52 PM
also you can store values and recall them later if it helps with things like CSRF tokens or whatnot
and despite of that every test runs in parallel, if possible
(we'd call an API to create a test object e.g. and then get that ID and manipulate it with other API endpoints)

eurgh... I... don't even have the slightest idea how we're going to accomplish this thing
 
just eval strings
you know you want to do code generation
 
I mean, I don't but that's not even the issue here
I mean, it, will be the issue pretty soon here
 
1:34 PM
Maybe that is the issue, why don't you want to do code generation?
 
Because the designer makes really dumb decisions about what is a necessary change which makes merges a nightmare

@badp Lots of regular bars, though
 
@SaintWacko having a lot of buffs and debuffs is okay
but I don't think you want a lot of units of barness
in fact the bar should be as tiny as practical except a third of that
and when people complain you just tell them to gut git or something
 
wait sql server has an image data type
ok
 
1:40 PM
no
go back to code generation
that is not a good idea
 
I agree
And technically that probably won't help me
because I'm trying to accomplish something even dumber than that
why
because ughhhhhhhhhhhh
 
just subclass your ORM
how bad can it be
 
It's bad
 
eval f"""
class Frowns{id}(FakeImageColumn):
  sub __get_image_path(self):
    return "/srv/webshit/{id}.png"
"""
you know you wanna
 
I don't think I want to even understand what that is supposed to do
 
1:46 PM
what it's just declaring a class at runtime. I'm sure it's going to be fine
 
No it's even worse than that because image doesn't even directly accomplish what I eventually need to do
I hate everything
they want to be able to upload a worksheet to get stored somewhere
which is going to be infinite pain forever
 
eval f"""
class Frowns{id}(FakeSpreadsheet):
  sub __get_pretend_path(self):
    return "/srv/webshit/{id}.xls"
"""
 
@Unionhawk Don't store the actual file in your DB, that's crazy stupid.
 
teeeeeeeechnically I could store it as csv probably and it might be 1/2 infinite pain for 3 days?
but
that still runs into "exceedingly dumb"
 
admit it your only salvation is writing your own ORM
I mean it's not but it'll be a fun distraction for a couple of weeks
 
1:52 PM
and also 1/2 of infinity is infinity
 
Good morning and I am alive.
 
@Yuuki \o/
 
@Arperum there is a thing out there saying "you can store pretty muc hany file as varbinary(max)" and I'm just like "no, pls, that's really gross"
(well, varbinary(max) and also filetype information)
 
I'm sure there are webbier 2.0 variants of that
 
@Unionhawk Yes you can, it's also terrible for performance. Including search performance on anything else in that table.
 
1:56 PM
 
Good thing pretty much the only thing in that table would be this stupidity
I'd much rather, like
force the user to upload to sharepoint first then store the path
or
something along those lines
or, like
not do this at all
 
Or upload it yourself to some storage server.
 
Radar map is looking promising.
 
Yeah it's been getting pretty good reviews.
 
2:10 PM
@StrixVaria I'm not going to be able to play it tonight, so that sucks a bit, but I'm definitely excited to jump in. And the reviews are just fueling that excitement. :D
 
2:23 PM
@Arperum @Unionhawk yeah, that's the best practice solution. Storing random binary data in a database is rarely the right solution

Q: Are Koopa the Quick times constant?

Fredy31In the Koopa the Quick stars in Super Mario 64, is the time of Koopa the Quick always the same? If so, what times do you have to beat to get the star?

 
@Arperum feel free to ask me questions if that'll help, I use git a lot.
 
git cli is nearly always better than the guis
 
@Arperum git merge --abort
wait you've probably already done the merge
 
heard good things about gitup but it's macos-only, and want to try gitkraken but /shrug cli is more than doing the job
 
2:48 PM
did you push the merge?
otherwise you can go back in time to before the merge happened, and try again
 
Super fun times. Seems the other party did dumb things to the .csproj file. Like removing the part where you have the entityframework in a certain namespace.
Nothing has been pushed.
 
your git reflog should give you your undo history
you can git reset to any hash on that list
 
I'm going to see if I can manually unfuck that file. And see if that fixes things. And if it does, I'm going to be sending a blazing angry email.
 
@Avery for some specific tasks the GUI can be better; I'm thinking in particular history visualization (gitk) and selective staging (git cola/git gui)
 
git is line based and visual editors like to muck with the order of things in a XML/JSON file, data structures that are not line based
 
2:50 PM
@Avery since you haven't pushed yet, if you can successfully unfuck things you can use git commit --amend to make it look like the merge got things right on the first try.
 
I think that you meant @Arperum on the second one
 
so if you both modify a file and shuffle the contents of it around git will probably get really confused
 
@badp yea, seems like the order in which things are generated in the edmx file is not locked in place, which is dumb.
 
Er
Yeah, that was directed at @Arperum (re git commit --amend)
 
@Arperum maybe you can find something that will canonicalize the order of everything on both sides of the merge? though that will be tricky to push
or you can do that anyway on the side, and then just amend your merge with the correct file
 
3:05 PM
things seem to be building again, although it's not done building yet, i'll see if it ends up building andworking.
build succeeded, so that's part 1. Now see if I get runtime errors again.
The error I started with seems to be eliminated, so that's good.

4:30 PM
@Frank 4 or 3?
Because if you learnt three, well I have some bad news for you...
 
@PrivatePansy how much did they change? it's still classes determine everything, right?
 
@GodEmperorDune Yes, but the fundamental way which the grid is constructed is different
v4 uses flexbox instead of floats
Also the whole thing is written on Sass instead of Less. If you're using bootstrap-sass, the changes are quite big
Anyway, the way Bootstrap v4 does its grid is fundamentally limiting. For instance, a mixed fixed/flexible width column layout is possible with flexbox, but impossible with BS4
 
why would you do fixed width in a mobile era?
 
This wasn't a problem with v3 because floats were quite restrictive, so v3's grid is pretty much the best you can do with floats. v4's on the other hand is less powerful than just using flexbox
@GodEmperorDune The current app I'm working on has a navigation sidebar with some fixed element. There's no point in making the sidebar grow as the screen gets wider - that'll just result in uncomfortable amount of whitespace around the sidebar
 
@PrivatePansy i though max width was for that... that's what broke?
 
4:38 PM
@GodEmperorDune You can use max-width, but you can't use max-width with v4's flexbox grid. Or maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
Anyway flexbox isn't really for building grids. You can try, and it'll work, but there are some layouts that are still impossible with flexbox
And a few others that are expressed awkwardly
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment hahahhahahaha
 
@PrivatePansy ugh that is unfortunate
 
To be a bit more exact, flexbox IMO is most useful for building single column/row layout
You can infinitely nest them to achieve complex layouts, but they must be single column or row
You can get away with using flex-wrap, but the result can get awkward
Oh, and let's all wait for CSS grids to finally get proper browser support
Also the content CSS property is quite useful
 
I mean
bootstrap 3 will continue working

our use of bootstrap is limited to internal things written by developers for developers and other unfortunate internal users, and so long as I can continue expressing ~the same sementics, who cares?
though I am assuming 4 isn't backwards compatible
 
@badp It's very un-backwards compatible
 
@PrivatePansy I'm looking at the changelog and the only thing that seems of note is dropping glyphicons
and maybe wells, I was using wells.
 
@badp They renamed a good deal of classes
Also dropped a lot of them, including offset-*
And of course like I said the underlying feature they're using is different, as is the SASS
 
RIP <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-x"></span>, long live &times;
 
wait why would you drop offset-* and why isn't that at the very top of the list of things they changed
that's like the second thing you learn about bootstrap 3

> Updated the grid to drop push, pull, and offset in favor of new .order- modifiers and margin utilities.
So there are no push-*, pull-* and offset-* anymore. push and pull have replacements, but not offset
 
what
RIP .col-md-10.col-offset-1 I guess
 
It takes advantage of the fact that Flexbox provides a order property that pretty much does what you expect it to
So the old method of pulling and pushing columns to reorder them visually is no longer needed
 
who even used that stuff
 
It's useful when for example you have a sidebar which shows up on the left on desktop but you want to drop below the content on mobile
 
you must have missed the part where our pages are used by developers for developers. They are not pretty, even with bootstrap :D
I suppose you can keep having a col-10 and then you just center it
achieving essentially the same effect
except probably not
 
4:58 PM
You can use auto-margin, yes
 
and if I really must offset I'll just put in empty divs like a caveman
 
Assuming a 12 column layout that would do the same
There are proper alignment properties now
Again because flexbox allows that, unlike floats. It's a better API overall.
 
I have some nice waterfront property if anyone is interested.

Q: Is there a max width to the health bar?

Fredy31 In DarkSouls 3 the Health Bar gets longer and longer the more HP you have. I was wondering, is there a max width to that bar? If you would only build health all the time, what would happen to your Health bar? Is there a max? would it just go off the screen? would it create a second bar for you...

 
@Lazers2.0 what about if your resolution is 800x600 then wat

hahahaha coworker saw that it was my birthday last week and was like "seriously how old are you" and I was like "guess" and they were like "at most 22"...then I was liek "nope I'm 30." It was entertaining. I don't think I look young but apparently I do.
 
5:05 PM
But yeah, you can and should continue using BS3 if you want. It's just that new stuff should use BS4 - it takes advantage of new features enabled by shedding old browsers
Also the amount of work that goes into making Bootstrap compatible is pretty amazing. There are still odd bugs though, but it's really good on the whole.
 
5:17 PM
@PrivatePansy yeah cross compatibility is awful and messy
 
5:27 PM
@PrivatePansy 3.3?
I just got modal dialogs working by loading a partial MVC view.
So I feel super badass and my pages look awesome.

Why did the team lead have to go on vacation the week after I started on this project? GitLab won't let me push back to central, because I'm not an owner on the repo.
 
I present you with this
