my gf still studies so she's gonna be following lessons starting september again, thinking of following some online course along side her for motivation

#

don't know on what yet

#

doubting between CS, Maths or Physics

#

but I know a lot about CS already so that might be boring

pure summit
#

not scarier more than this

timber viper
#

didnt watch the AoT

#

but I do kill that ugly thing?

#

or worse.. am I turning into that ugly thing? ThonkRotate

Hey ho

timber viper
#

if your cat is looking at you with half closed eyes when you call out him while sleeping, does that mean he loves you or should it be interpreted as "what now again you arrogant prick"

sage ermine
#

You call out to your cat while you're sleeping?

timber viper
#

yes

sage ermine
#

how do you know?

timber viper
#

how do I know what 🤔

sage ermine
#

that you called out

proud jay
#

you probably mean the cat is sleeping

sage ermine
#

you were sleeping

proud jay
timber viper
#

i hate English

sage ermine
#

I dunno the two I know are alright

proud jay
#

their beer is awful though

pure summit
#

wait u r the sleepy one not the cat !!!

timber viper
#

no cat is the sleepy one

#

I just dont know English and pretend to know

sage ermine
#

my cat sleeps all the time

timber viper
#

same, 2/3 of the day they're sleeping

pure summit
timber viper
#

my cat doesnt ask for food much

#

I never saw my cat angry or aggressive yet

pure summit
#

pure summit
timber viper
#

mine is desperate for icecream

proud jay
#

My cat is extremely quiet

timber viper
#

but doesnt want anything else specifically

proud jay
#

one might think I don't even have a cat

timber viper
#

same

#

what type of cat it is?

proud jay
#

I don't have a cat

proud jay
#

how does your cat know ice cream lol

timber viper
#

I've fallen to this

sage ermine
#

I was going to make a game with a cat in it

#

But it wouldn't work with defurred rendering

timber viper
pure summit
timber viper
#

pure summit
#

timber viper
#

like baklava? ThonkRotate

pure summit
proud jay
#

don't hate me, but I don't like cats

timber viper
#

I've heard "baklawa" "baqlawa" but first time hearing "biklawa"

pure summit
timber viper
#

I guess either Arabs or Indians call "biklawa", right?

#

Assuming from the ones I've met, I guess its normal "bak~" became "bik~" somehow

pure summit
#

arabic language has symbols beside the letters

#

but idk what is called in english

timber viper
#

like "a" becomes "aaaaaaa"

proud jay
#

like different prononciations

#

like if a french guy speaks english

timber viper
#

like how Japanese people somestimes exaggerate ending of the words

pure summit
#

like wota and water lol

proud jay
pure summit
#

My angry cat

timber viper
#

looks cute

pure summit
timber viper
#

dont you just put his food to somewhere

#

and s/he eats it

proud jay
pure summit
#

if he smells them he do not eat other foods

#

like chicken or dry food

timber viper
#

so you dont eat fish and drink milk ever?

pure summit
zinc matrix
timber viper
#

in the end he didnt care and slept

pure summit
#

mine if it did not take a bit from the ice cream, it will bite me

proud jay
#

did you do the turkish ice cream vendor routine with your cat

timber viper
pure summit
timber viper
# pure summit yeah i hate this

since lack of Latin alphabet I guess its very difficult to adapt to English unless you learned when you are younger than 15 or something

#

if you're speaking Arabic

#

because there are many places trying to teach Arabic to Muslims for religion purposes and I have friends went to there during childhood and they always say it was very difficult to adapt

proud jay
#

Magnets, how do they work?

timber viper
#

you look like a badass programmer

proud jay
#

thanks

pure summit
#

i am an arabic native speaker

#

i am from egypt btw 😂

mossy nexus
#

When I was young I couldn't speak any languages.. it was tough

timber viper
#

thankfully after 2021 he gave up

pure summit
mossy nexus
#

Naa there are worse than that.... points at cobol. 😄

timber viper
# pure summit what ?

Turkey cut its ties with Egypt after 2011 for literally no reason and lost its energy and money because of that

#

just because president was obsessive about it

#

but in 2021 erdogan gave up and now Turkey is friends again with Egypt

pure summit
#

why he hated us ?

timber viper
#

I even remember at 2018 Egypt's current president was trying to be shown as a devil etc. just for propoganda, meanwhile everyone else was like: "wat"

timber viper
#

he hates everyone close to Turkey tbh 😅 shouldnt be taken so seriously

pure summit
#

that's weird.
here women like to watch turkish series lol

proud jay
#

and somehow Eren still wants to live in turkey forever and work for their army

timber viper
pure summit
#

hate the system but not the country

#

i hate my system but not the country

timber viper
#

There is a huge invisible gap between European people and people from Balkans to Middle East, I realized this in this server

proud jay
#

it's called the ocean /s

timber viper
#

Meanwhile an average European is more educated and more democratic, others are more nationalist and stubborn

#

others are more nationalist and stubborn
also quite characteristic to keep electing dictators 😄

celest musk
#

that sounds stubborn 😛

mossy nexus
#

For the most part people in every country just want the same thing, to live to have fun, to enjoy life. Unfortunately the people in power like being in power so they continually invent ways to try and convince us other people aren't actually like people.

#

And only the people in power can stop the evil people doing things to our people

timber viper
zinc matrix
proud jay
#

I don't see the point in fighting for your country tbh

timber viper
proud jay
#

like for your own city or something sure cause you live there

#

but fuck the country

#

I pay them enough taxes to deal with that shit lol

#

I don't owe them anything

mossy nexus
# proud jay but fuck the country

what happens if your country is attacked.. do you let them take other cities because you don't live there? Then what happens when they come for you?

proud jay
#

that's nothing to do with country really though

#

like if the germans were invading the netherlands, of course their next target would be belgium

#

so you wouldn't wait for them to attack belgium

celest musk
#

maybe they would fight for their country because they like it

#

which tells alot about the west 😄

proud jay
#

but also, my contribution would be worthless

timber viper
#

"guys Germans invading from south"
"stop pressing the radio button without speaking anything please"

regal pecan
#

Save up your money and buy war bonds when it comes to it. Biggest possible contribution, apparently.

celest musk
#

well, maybe in direct fights, guess smart people can come up with better solutions

#

so they don't have to go in the front line

timber viper
#

Fighting for your country is not just arming a weapon and charging to front btw

mossy nexus
proud jay
#

but also I don't care about belgium

proud jay
#

if the Germans invaded, but just let me live on as I do, who cares

celest musk
#

what if the french invade? 😄

proud jay
#

they will die

celest musk
#

and they start to put good food on your plate

pure summit
proud jay
#

you trippin if you think french food is good

timber viper
#

if whole Europe would hate you because you are a Belgian, would that make you love your country more? - because no one else accepts you

proud jay
#

also I think the mentality changes a lot if you live in peace for a long time

mossy nexus
#

Of all the armed forces I've met, the Dutch and the Greek were the most lazy and incompetent. Turks were a mixed bunch of incompetent and completely mental... 😄

soft night
celest musk
#

they speak like 10 languages in belgium

proud jay
#

only 3 official ones

celest musk
#

i feel like they are a divided community 😄

timber viper
# proud jay nah, belgians hate belgium

thats fine, what if France, England, Netherlands and Germany would hate you altogether and block you financially? - and would officially state they are going to make conditions even worse?

mossy nexus
#

I enjoyed chatting with Turk soldiers, they were like normal guys.

celest musk
#

yea but 3 officials is a lot

proud jay
celest musk
#

at least compared to one

mossy nexus
#

No one should have to move TO England... that's just weird.

soft night
#

there is the country what have 2 names

proud jay
#

see but it's hard to imagine things like that cause europe has lived in relative peace for almost a hundred years

celest musk
#

guess netherlands is kinda easy migration because of the language

timber viper
proud jay
#

so the war mentality is not engrained in younger people

timber viper
#

why would you move there

pure summit
soft night
#

Ben also in some Netherlands is also Holland

proud jay
#

Netherlands and Holland is not the same

timber viper
#

who cares about having money if others being racists about someone

timber viper
proud jay
#

although some people use Holland to refer to the Netherlands colloquially, they are never the same

#

holland is a part of the netherlands

celest musk
#

didn't knew that

mossy nexus
pure summit
proud jay
#

but still I don't think it would make me more nationalistic intrinsically

#

just hating the others

timber viper
proud jay
#

but not therefore loving belgium necessarilty

soft night
#

the luxenbourg is somehow inverted

proud jay
timber viper
proud jay
#

maybe

mossy nexus
#

hate is such an expensive emotion. I struggle to understand it, I've never hated anyone.

celest musk
#

lucky you

proud jay
#

that's what I was saying, this mentality of not being nationalist comes from times of peace and security, which is just more prevalent in europe than in middle east

soft night
#

Dieter: yeah they dont much travel outside they country and pretty much like they own stuff more

#

this came from my relatives who live in luxembourg

mossy nexus
proud jay
mossy nexus
#

The UK has 4 governments. Westminster - over all in charge of everything, and Scotland, Wales, and Norther Ireland.

timber viper
# proud jay that's what I was saying, this mentality of not being nationalist comes from tim...

As a Turkish perspective: I saw economic collapse, distrust to Turkey's allies, corrupted governments, a whole Hashashi creed tried to take over the government at 2016, which was going to end up in civil war and millions of deaths (no joke), and ISIS on our doors.. And there were people trying to prevent disasters, some gave their life while trying to do that. When I just think about this, at least from my side it's more than a psychological fact that not being safe and secure makes people more nationalist

proud jay
timber viper
proud jay
mossy nexus
proud jay
#

they all have separate power of decision yeah

pure summit
#

i think each state in US has its own law too

proud jay
#

but the belgian law applies to the whole coutnry

#

but e.g. the flemish government can add some shit on top

proud jay
#

e.g. fun fact, in the northern part of belgium you can only drive 70kph outside of towns, while in the south part you can drive 90kph

#

great for consistency

I'm aware of what a county is 😦

mossy nexus
#

Not country, state, and fed. County. It comes from the USA was just a bunch of small areas with their own laws, which later became states, who wanted their own laws, but the counties wanted their own laws and then the federal gov wanted to control it all but couldn't get rid of the other laws. America is weird. 😄

rocket exploded

proud jay

#

you're great at jumping to conclusions

pure summit
#

saying the "first woman" quotation is stupid

timber viper
#

it might not be even a woman, but government said "we would be really happy to choose a woman"

#

goal is to support woman rights, even though "first" part sounds quite awful ¯_(ツ)_/¯

proud jay
#

does it sound awful though

#

it is factually the first one

soft night

Finnish tech have being on big launches to space

it's like saying it would be sexist if a woman jumped 3 meters high and you'd call it the first woman to jump over 3 meters

#

it's just a fact

timber viper
#

I guess Yahia didnt like the idea specifically mentioning "a woman did this"

man, project managers are useless sometimes, they make a giant document of topics that need to be handled in a release, but they put 80% of it as priority 1, if everything is priority, nothing is priority

pure summit

proud jay
#

tbh the whole release planning concept is kinda shit, why not just prioritise everything properly with dependencies and work from high too low

#

too much effort I guess

celest musk

dev: is feature x important because it would require a lot of planning work ahead because the application core would be designed to make it fit?

haha i could use python i guess

no

ancient ingot

😮

#

its just a simple thing to grab 2 fields of data from an xsl link

celest musk
#

xsl?

tulip orbit
#

only if you use a real python, and not the coding language

ancient ingot
celest musk
#

thats json?

ancient ingot
#

@tulip orbit itll be the hackiest i can get away with lol

#

yeah

celest musk
#

json_decode($foobar)

tulip orbit
#

better than my code!

ancient ingot
#

$json = json_decode(JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR, file_get_contents($url), true);

#

gets me a ton of errors

foggy path
#

well that's confusing lol

#

it's XSL suggesting an XML based tech, but XSL is usually XSLT and by itself is not really anything

#

but it's actually outputting JSON

#

lol

ancient ingot
#

i know, blame xiph lol

foggy path
#

but yea json_decode(file_get_contents($url)) oughta work

ancient ingot

all that info, i only need artist and title lmao

hard to say anything else about it without knowing what errors its throwing

They fly around smelly code.

so what's the problem?

json_decode makes you an php object from the json

foggy path
#

Yeah that still doesn't show the errors

ancient ingot
#

putty screen has the errors

celest musk
#

use var_dump(json_decode(file_get_contents($url))); if you know how the shit is nested

foggy path
#

Oh there they are

#

and yeah Ben's suggestion is precisely what's needed

ancient ingot
#

sorry i didnt usually touch the php stuff

var_dump will allow you to see what the exact data is

I'm using it for processing github webhooks and some other random small bits like that which then get posted to discord

Its never been something i work with when doing streaming media like this, but it was relatively easy to get to this point to get what i needed.

because you use like 2 methods 😄

I'm not even sure what are all the steps I'd need to take to make sure some non-php app/script would run properly on my server 🤔

I have varnish on my vps that I used for that purpose a while back

#

but it's still a bunch of config editing + the init scripts to ensure it boots up if the server needs to be restarted and ugh

#

this is why I prefer PHP if it's something where it doesn't matter so much lol

#

I guess you can put the app into your startup folder in the start menu? lol

#

It can do that with Ruby or such too?

chuck everything into docker containers for fun

pure summit
#

i took 2 days to do that

#

some configurations i did not know ruined my experience with it

foggy path
#

as much as I think C# is good I can't be bothered with it for "for fun" projects even if they are half serious lol

#

I'll just use something more interesting like Elixir or Haskell or whatever catches my fancy at the moment

#

:P

#

at the point where I have to maintain any of my projects I usually get bored with it anyway

#

I only get paid to do those

proud jay
#

people maintain personal projects?

#

nice

#

one day I might get an idea to write useful software

#

but today is not the day

foggy path
#

the most "real software" project I did recently was my twitch stream dashboard / bot which also integrated into discord and streamlabs and had some neat features like spotify and youtube song request integrations

foggy path
#

which I and some friends used during streaming but then I stopped streaming and then twitch changed the apis and then I got bored of keeping it working

#

lol

#

this was written in Elixir because I wanted to do something with it that would benefit from the Erlang architecture stuff

#

Overall I think it was a good choice for it... could certainly have done it using something else too but I think a lot of the builtins like GenServers and what have you were quite convenient

proud jay
#

I never find the creativity to come up with something useful to develop in my free time lol

foggy path
#

If you don't use any bad software in your free time...

#

:D

foggy path
#

I've had pretty much the equal amount of issues with windows and linux and given I use windows more than I do linux...

#

:P

#

the more you tamper the more the software resists

foggy path
#

I once broke .exe file association in windows 2000

#

nothing would launch properly anymore but the OS would still start

#

I don't remember how I fixed it but I did eventually manage it because I refused to just reinstall lol

proud jay
#

idk what kind of stuff you guys are doing that everything breaks all the time

#

and that it breaks so often that you feel the need to write your own software for it

foggy path
#

Well I think one of the main things that made me want to make my own twitch bot was that nothing supported spotify song requests

#

(possibly for various legal reasons but it wasn't my problem lol)

#

and a few other odds and ends that didn't work the way I wanted them to work

celest musk
#

it's not that i feel like writing my own software

#

it's just that sometimes either nothing exists, or it's faster to write my own

we need an old english increasingly verbose coding language now

could you make a coding language based on the romans/roman numerals (ie with no concept of zero?)?

edgy ice
#

i mean i guess in theory a language can be made on anything, though i guess the more abstract you get the more low level the code needs to be

#

brainfuck is as simplistic as a "language" can get but requires you to manually set everything

I don't make enough money to invest tbh, but I have been spending too much (tho i've been underemployed for a couple years previously due to the whole artist thing lmao, so some of this is catch-up)

There is slack in the budget to maybe grab a share of AMD a month or something

or a couple shares

just buy ETFs

My bank has a couple that are decent

or wait I'm thinking of mutual funds

#

ETFs are good too tho actually

banks are scammers

proud jay
#

you lose so much of the profits by their managment fees

while they underperform the market

gusty star
#

Tangerine was run by ING Direct which i think was dutch? they ran a tight ship, v consumer focused

#

tho they sold off a couple years ago, and then Scotiabank bought them

#

(who I previously used and was trying to leave as their one of the Big 5 canadian banks)

#

But Scotia hasn't upped the fees (yet) so no annual fee on accts still.

#

but ye your right

#

the mutual funds at tangerine (when I last checked) had a management expense rate of like 0.21 percent or something tho so it was decent for sure

#

with returns close to ten percent

#

well between 5 to 10 percent, it varied year to year

#

tho if inflation is close to 10 percent in most of the west, most assets don't appreciate fast enough to keep pace lol

#

but anyone consistently promising over 10 percent is probably a pyramid scheme so idk

#

central banks gotta tame this beast I guess

#

I'm thinking Rates are probably gonna rise until the belt is so tight its choking some people out

#

Gonna be interesting to see what happens. Some people here in Canada used residential property as an investment, and then leveraged themselves with HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) loans to buy even more residential property rofl. Cuz with rates so low its almost free money.

just don't go through your regular bank for investing

oh yeah it is. whatever they do with (if) HL3 if it's not VR it won't be the mindblowing game it should be

foggy path
#

if it's VR it still probably won't be that mindblowing unless they find a solution to locomotion in the time between alyx and HL:Next

#

:P

unborn lotus
#

I don't know, I got used to the smooth locomotion, don't mind it all in any games ...then again, I finished Alyx three times 😅

#

walking dead saints and sinners had a neat idea of vignetting the view when moving/running so it's even less nauseating

foggy path
#

it's not really about minding it... it's about how it completely just breaks immersion lol

#

the best VR games at least for me are the ones where you can occasionally forget you're playing VR games and most games where you have to use locomotion of some variety just don't really get to that point much

#

Racing sims are the ones which get it right as long as you have a wheel and pedals

#

This is not to say that the games where you locomote around aren't good... just that they're not exactly what I'd call mindblowing because you're entirely aware of how you're sliding around in a weird way lol

unborn lotus
#

😆 I have never been more immersed with a game since being a kid, but I get it can be weird

#

I hate the locomotion gizmos where you can also rotate the view you'll get when you teleport

#

needlessly complicated

foggy path
#

It kinda depends, I like it for some stuff like some art applications

#

No Man's Sky I didn't mind the sliding locomotion so much, but it might have been partially because I had a habit of using the jetpack to fly around a lot so it didn't feel like I was fake-walking

Good guy Tim, he actually listens and responds to people's random whims.

#

Should probably ask him about the epic games launcher 🤔

timber viper
#

dunno man

#

I constantly bug him about how UE sucks

#

never cares to respond

#

but there is something weird happened one day

#

I was earned $40 from marketplace before they switch to paypal

#

but they paid $80

#

probably to make me shut up

supple apex
#

Free money? 😅

timber viper
#

yeah

#

I was selling a plugin for $20, and only two people was brought it

celest musk
#

i lately requested $20 from a modding site, and they did sent $250 😄

#

apparently their whole payout system went nuts, so they eventually asked a bunch of people to pay back the wrong amounts 😄

timber viper
#

and.. did you? 😄

celest musk

sure

celest musk

im not an troll like you 😄

When was this?
During the hyperwallet transition?

timber viper

even if they would, I couldnt

celest musk
#

still, someone might get trouble for that

paypal is restricted in Turkey

#

so they had to pay via bank account I gave during register

how is it restricted?

is turkey a better place now?

pure summit
celest musk
#

than before paypal was closed

timber viper
#

define "past" since you said "now" 😄

#

no

#

its in economic crisis

#

if they would let people use paypal we could earn dollars and contribute to the economy

celest musk
#

well, not necessarily

#

you would buy imports from dollar, which doesnt really much contribute to your local economy

timber viper
#

true, but we dont export much with dollar either

#

so gpa between US and TRY could close a lil bit

#

i hope at least 😅

celest musk

doesn't turkey export a bunch of food?

timber viper

after 2016 we just import

now I wonder if I should tell them about this ThonkRotate

if they didnt notice, the person who made the mistake could get in some trouble

if they did notice, they never told me

supple apex
#

You can try, though it's been awhile, and 40 usd isn't that much from epic's point of view probably, but at least you can confirm and clear things up.

timber viper
#

Yeah, I guess if I end up doing business with Epic this might be a problem in the future

Who knows, they might give you an epic grant for being honest 😅

oh god this c# asp net stuff is like going back to 2014 java spring

#

the people working on this project have been the worst kind of architecture astronauts

#

asp net core

#

no idea

#

for example, instead of just calling a function to do a http query to some service they have opted for some weird interactor pattern

#

so instead of having a function call which gets stuff, they have IGetStuffInteractor that defines the interface and then they have GetStuffInteractor which implements it

#

then that interactor calls another interface function in IStuffGateway that is implemented by StuffGateway

#

😄

#

at least with java and spring we had a single service class that had bunch of functions in it to do stuff

#

instead of n+1 files with just a single function in them

#

all of them named HandleAsync....

oh and one more thing. Some architecture astronaut decided create an ISystemTime interface which is used to get system time in various places that you can then inject in.

it just has a getter for DateTime

public DateTime UtcNow => DateTime.UtcNow;
