:+1: I was going to ping you earlier about it but in the middle of MVCE an issue.

bruglesco

1:13 AM

ahh can I help?

IvenBach

If you can figure out what FUBARd my work machine sure.

I just linked to it in RD chat.

@IvenBach Is it the search button?

IvenBach

When you enter in an address to search by IE 200 N Spring St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 LA City Hall.

Phrancis

Yeah you're right that magnifying glass button at the bottom doesn't do anything. However, if you press Enter from the field it does

A: Can Javascript press the Enter key for me?

Well pressing enter is triggering an event. You would have to figure out which event listener they are listening to. I'll use keyup in the following example: Assume el is the variable for the element you want enter to be pressed on. I'm not sure how you going to get that element but I'm sure you...

IvenBach

I'm having to do this in VBA and can't figure out the enter key for the input element.

I only brought up javascript because looking at the code that's what it looks like is running.

Phrancis

Q: Can I simulate pressing the Enter key in an Excel macro?

I am using an Excel macro to perform a text-to-speech readout of text in a specific cell: Range("$D$10").Select Application.Speech.SpeakCellOnEnter = True This requires the user to press the Enter key after the macro is called for this to be activated. That means two actions by the user, since...

Looks pretty straightforward

Are you doing something like a web scraper?

TTQW!

IvenBach

Yes. Only very minimal. Inputting information in to get latitude and longitude that we then feed into another website to get seismic info and snow info.

@IvenBach Couldn't you get that from Google Maps API?

Though web scraping is a nice quick and dirty way to get data from someone else who implemented the API and made their site public :)

Duga

[bruglesco/FleetCommand] bruglesco pushed commit b59a3542 to dev

Refactored UpgradeButton

Now takes font in its constructor to properly initialize Label sf::Text. Also fixed all instances and fixed usage of input() to not have redundant calls to getGlobalBounds().

bruglesco

tomorrow I will hunt for eggs. And then I will work on the unit system.

g'night

@Phrancis Company was until google changed their API. before you could use it without an API key but since June 2018 they changed their TOS and you need to give them a CC to get a "free" key.

I was told to make it work with a no cost option. IE Use another site that is paying for it.

Hey good morning everyone!

Have a nice day!

@SimonForsberg second war versus Denmark ans I won again! Took some profitable land so now I'm in a way better shape. I want to thank the England who helped me a lot (I would've lost so bad without them)

@bruglesco have fun at the race !

CommitStrip: It’s better with Javascript

posted on April 19, 2019 by CommitStrip

What are all these less-than signs? What's an HREF? Look, we know you live in a fancy futuristic tech world, but not all of us have upgraded to the latest from Sun Microsystems.

What's everyone up to? Looks like today is going to be the most "normal" day this week at work

I think I'm going to try this Peruvian chicken place today caralischicken.com/menu/taylorsville-road

@bruglesco ^^ ever try something like that?

bruglesco

6:47 PM

Yes. I love Peruvian.

@Phrancis That menu looks really good.

skiwi

Wooh, from Monday to Friday 60 minutes of active time every day

@Phrancis My wife saw "Chicken", pointed at the monitor and had already "approved" by grunting and making noises at me.

^ Childhood memories right there!

Phrancis

@bruglesco I've been told that their chicken is to die for. I went with the chicken wrap + yucca bites (curious, never had yucca)

IvenBach

I had yucca and it always was inferior to a potato IMO.

Phrancis

infocom released the source for zork, hitchhikers guide, and a bunch of other text adventures: https://github.com/historicalsource?after=Y3Vyc29yOnYyOpK5MjAxOS0wNC0xNVQyMDowNDowMy0wNzowMM4KzaKS&language=&q=&tab=repositories&utf8=%E2%9C%93 and here's a (extremely fascinating!) guide to ZIL, the language the games are written in: https://archive.org/details/Learning_ZIL_Steven_Eric_Meretzky_1995

@bruglesco @IvenBach @Marc-Andre @SimonForsberg ^^^ might be interested

Simon Forsberg

@Phrancis bookmarked, will check another time

Thanks!

@Marc-Andre I've played soooo many board games today I can barely even remember them.... I played one game about bluffing and going to kill a dragon, and one called Quack-something (not related to any ducks), and one Maze-escape thing that I've played only once before, and Skulls, and one game that is in development that is a Maze Tower Defence game (which is really funny considering I mentioned my Maze TD game a little while ago here)

omfg

Phrancis

Yucca bites were pretty good, had cheese filling. I like the slight spicy/tangy flavor of yucca but the stringy texture was a bit of a turn off

IvenBach

@bruglesco That made laugh. Like "Yeah I can do programming"

bruglesco

@Phrancis Looks good. How were those sauces?

Phrancis

@bruglesco Nothing to write home about but pretty good. White one was basically like ranch, and green one kinda like ranch but more herb / avocado taste

The chicken was great

bruglesco

@Phrancis Well thats the important bit.

@Phrancis Right, it's 'Murica. Where every sauce is just a variation on either Ranch or Ketchup.

IvenBach

9:29 PM

@Phrancis how have you been with the dumpster fire that's the Muller report?

@bruglesco Where's my mustard or bleu cheese sauce?

bruglesco

@IvenBach You are anathema. Move to Canada.

IvenBach

@IvenBach Here's your mustard sauce chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/49985195#49985195

is mustard a canada thing?

Phrancis

@IvenBach Been mostly ignoring all the MSM hot takes and reading analysis from lawyers I trust, and slowly reading through it myself

Feels like the end of Season 1 of this whole ordeal, and now we're just starting episode 1 of season 2 now that the report is in broad daylight

IvenBach

I don't think I could ever trust a lawyer.

bruglesco

@IvenBach No, not really.

Phrancis

9:54 PM

@IvenBach Well, a lawyer, especially one who has worked as a federal prosecutor in the past, such as Renato Mariotti, is in the best position to understand a legal report. Non-lawyers are likely to misinterpret legal language because they don't "speak lawyer"

> Me: You're at the blue computer login screen right? Not Epic?

Caller: Yes.

[10 minutes trying to change password later]

Me: Are you *sure* you're not in Epic?

Caller: No this is Epic, it's a generic computer.

Me: >_<

Epic has this annoying bug where, say your AD domain password needs to be changed (it expired or an admin reset it), it will pick up on that because it gets that from AD, so it prompts you to change it. However, Epic doesn't have write access to the domain, only read access. So it keeps saying it failed of course.

IvenBach

Breathe. Your weekend is almost there.

Phrancis

@IvenBach Thank you :)

A challenge with phone-based support is that you can't see through the phone, so you learn to ask really precise questions and hope that the customer can answer them accurately. Of course we have remote support tools to help with computer issues, but it's not something we'd normally use for something simple like a password reset.

bruglesco

> No, it's not Epic. It's a normal computer.

ROFL

What, in their mind, would make a computer Epic anyway?

Phrancis

10:58 PM

Epic is an application

Basically like a big CMS app but for patient care, provider billing, etc.
