avocado sucks anyways

[young shoal]

that's what i'm sayin!

[tardy rain]

mfs have no taste

[pulsar heart]

I hear high fiber helps in longevity, there's tribes of people living til 100 and stuff like that

[tardy rain]

Cut it out anyway, its bad for the environment

[pulsar heart]

My diet has 0 fiber

[fresh basalt]

@pulsar heart probably lifestyle too wrt those tribes

You talking hunter gatherer tribes?

[pulsar heart]

Nomad tribe life is actually super healthy and stressless

[fresh basalt]

stressless?

[pulsar heart]

Without stress

Chill

[fresh basalt]

I think there are stressors.

I think we're not in a place to appreciate them because we might as well live on a different planet.

[pulsar heart]

Not really, they hunt food, eat it, and then just chill all day

[fresh basalt]

Really?

[pulsar heart]

Like

Civilization is big, not because it's better

[fresh basalt]

They don't make clothes or tend to their livestock or build homes?

They don't rear their children?

[pulsar heart]

No

[grave cove]

what happens if they get an infection

[pulsar heart]

That's settler life

I'm talking nomads

[lament cairn]

they die

easy as

[fresh basalt]

So nomads just make babies and leave them?

[grave cove]

👎

[pulsar heart]

No, they make less babies

Which is why civilization was selected for

Settlers make more babies

[fresh basalt]

No that's not true. There is a tribe in Amazon that I saw on xiomanyc's channel and dude went to a witch doctor with an eye infection. witch doctor said dude needed antibiotics

[pulsar heart]

But there's no inherent advantage

[fresh basalt]

so your idealized view of tribal life not assimilating bits of outside society is kind of misguided

[pulsar heart]

Idk what you are talking about

[fresh basalt]

There are nomads in Mongolia who sell their art on Insta

[pulsar heart]

Makes sense

[fresh basalt]

That's stressful

[pulsar heart]

Yeah, coming from us civ normies

[fresh basalt]

k

[pulsar heart]

Nomads have at times destroyed civilizations

[fresh basalt]

let me know when nomads get a nuke

[pulsar heart]

Like I said, they weren't selected for due to less baby making

Otherwise nomadic life style would've developed high tech as well

Possibly

[fresh basalt]

hypothetical schmypothetical

[pulsar heart]

It's actually not hypothetical

They have indeed developed technology, but it was adapted to their set of problems

Like better bows and stuff like that

Piercing right through roman armor

[fresh basalt]

Are you talking about the Zulu?

[pulsar heart]

Zulu ?

[fresh basalt]

sorry am misremembering

[pulsar heart]

I don't recall all the details, but obviously they were tribes coming from the Russian planes

[fresh basalt]

haha I played too much civ 5

[pulsar heart]

Only way how they'd clash with the Romans

[fresh basalt]

yeah and rumors of the lost Romans

But what tribes are you thinking of versus Romans? Like Germanic?

[pulsar heart]

Uhm, no like the mongols

[fresh basalt]

oh Holy Roman Empire

[young shoal]

they had planes back then?

[fresh basalt]

too many Romes

@pulsar heart I was in a different millenium haha

[pulsar heart]

I'm trying to remember all this stuff

It's all super fascinating

[fresh basalt]

I have bookmarks.

[pulsar heart]

I don't, just scattered stuff in the brain

[fresh basalt]

But I have like thousands.

[fading gazelle]

Hi,
I have a problem with a github workflow.
In my workflow, I install mkvtoolnix on ubuntu, mac, windows.
But, on windows, I don't know why, the program isn't in the environnement variable when I run my python test, but it is just after it has installed it.

Like you can see in the Install platform-specific requirements (Windows) step, I printed the $PATH var and we can see that C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix is in it. But, in the step Run tests, C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix is not in $PATH.
Why and how can I correct that?

Here is the run: https://github.com/moi15moi/FontCollector/actions/runs/7646578247/job/20835676430?pr=34
Here is the workflow: https://github.com/moi15moi/FontCollector/blob/Back_up-V3-on-going/.github/workflows/run_test.yml

[thick osprey]

Each step is a unique image spun up to run the commands you've given. Environment vars won't carry between them.

[fading gazelle]

Then, why on ubuntu the test pass ?

[thick osprey]

oh, I misread the config. That's all one job.

circleCI moment.

[fading gazelle]

I have no idea what this means

[thick osprey]

It means I was reading the config for github with a different platform in my head.

[vale raven]

https://github.com/moi15moi/FontCollector/blob/Back_up-V3-on-going/.github/workflows/run_test.yml#L45 ends with ;C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix
https://github.com/moi15moi/FontCollector/blob/Back_up-V3-on-going/.github/workflows/run_test.yml#L53 does not

[fading gazelle]

Yes, that what I mean previously
I don't understand why it happen

[vale raven]

You modifications to PATH aren't being carried across steps

You said

the environnement variable
You system has dozens of environments variable
We're just confirming the specifics to make sure we understand correctly

I would just add it to your PATH manually
You could try running refreshenv again, but that might not be present either

[fading gazelle]

I don't have the control where C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix will be installed.
choco automatically installed it in that directory, but I guess it could be in another one, so I don't see how I can add it manually to PATH

Like, I guess choco could also put it in: C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix

[vale raven]

It wouldn't do that

AFAIK the app developers choose where to put their files

And a 64bit app wouldn't magically become 32bit

Unless you're Adobe

[fading gazelle]

How could I set the PATH only for windows?
All the platform execute Run tests

[vale raven]

You would have to have multiple run tests steps

Just like you split up the installation per OS

[fading gazelle]

That seems hacky

[lament cairn]

urrghhhhh

[small coral]

english is so irregularly pronounced

Bow and arrow. Bow to your Queen.

yeah

that can be retermed as "bhough"

[wanton delta]

Bow - baw
Bow -bOw

[small coral]

"ough" can also be pronounced as both "aw" and "ow"

[soft violet]

fun fact: it can also be pronounced as "up"

[soft violet]

The sow sowed the seed.

[low chasm]

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence

[small coral]

so "ououghz ough" is a valid respelling of "what's up"

[wanton delta]

what do i do when i find this man

[carmine apex]

well he's cereal's armed unarmed man, and in this case a murdering armed unarmed man, so be careful at least

[wanton delta]

is he like, someone who bear arms but has no arms, or someone who has arms but no arms

[tulip falcon]

Be advised this man is highly armed, he has like eight arms

[small coral]

someone with bear arms is an armed armed man since bear arms are dangerous

so it can't be that

[carmine apex]

armed bears huh?

[small coral]

that's an armed armed bear

[wanton delta]

i am my name

[small coral]

it's either a normal person or an armed person with no arms

wait

do biologically unarmed people deserve the right to bear arms?

[carmine apex]

[small coral]

[carmine apex]

thems are bear hands not bear arms

maybe bear wrists

[small coral]

same thing

a hand is a subpart of an arm anyway

[carmine apex]

i dunno if i agree with that sentiment

[wanton delta]

now i understand why sometimes we call some other people 'dicks'

[tulip falcon]

It's an old timey nickname for someone named Richard

[wanton delta]

how does that turn into

[small coral]

with no hand, you can have arm; with no arm, you can't have hand

[wanton delta]

can't apply that logic to my example since i'll become a misogynist

i just ate tf is wrong with english

[tulip falcon]

Can't do much appropriate wordplay with that as a prompt 😂

@small coral Hey if you have time and know how to fix this simple yet annoying issue could you @ me?

#python-discussion message

[small coral]

idk

i don't work with pypi stuff

or whatever that is

[sick shadow]

fair enough

[ruby fox]

is this real?

[tardy rain]

Yes

Microsoft had 2k layoffs the other day

[jaunty wraith]

It's layoff season

eBay too

[ruby fox]

oh yeah, i forgot... january is the favorite time to kick off people

if you dont get kicked off in janaury, the chance of being kicked off reduces by 40% (I heard somewhere)

[lyric isle]

Well I was kicked off my contract with Shell last month on the 15th

honestly, I'm a little shocked that people don't call a spade a spade and label layoffs as an abusive tactic

[cursive salmon]

google too

well google has been laying off since the year started

[cobalt remnant]

What is going on here?

[jaunty wraith]

VS Code wildin

Does a restart fix it?

[cobalt remnant]

I think it's related to my schema file

This is valid, right?

[jaunty wraith]

Hmmm

No

additionalProperties doesn't take that much detail IIRC

You're looking for plain properties

But even then, it wouldn't be right.

[cobalt remnant]

even though the object can have arbitrary keys?

[jaunty wraith]

If the object can have arbitrary keys, you just define the value type.

For the actual schema-required properties, you specify them outside of additionalProperties.

schema-required, as in, known properties, required or optional

[cobalt remnant]

I just needed to add "properties": {"$schema": {"type": "string"}},

I think...

[jaunty wraith]

Mmm, nope.

That sounds wrong.

[cobalt remnant]

Yes, that worked.

[jaunty wraith]

Wack.

[cobalt remnant]

The full schema btw https://paste.pythondiscord.com/FN2A

[jaunty wraith]

Do you have a sample JSON?

[foggy jungle]

Can you settle for a JDAUGHTER?

[cobalt remnant]

{
    "$schema": "./labmaps.schema.json",
    "some location": {
        "rowNames": ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L", "M"],
        "rackCount": 30,
        "hallwaySeparator": [15, 16],
        "missing": ["G4", "G15", "G22"]
    }
}

[jaunty wraith]

😭

[cobalt remnant]

It's declaring the schema for rendering a datacenter.

[jaunty wraith]

Ah, because the top-level key is arbitrary

Yeah, that seems right.

You don't need the top-level type and properties properties

[cobalt remnant]

But then the $schema key will be validated using additionalProperties

[jaunty wraith]

{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/schema",
  "additionalProperties": {
    "type": "object",

          {

      "rowNames",
      "rackCount",
      "hallwaySeparator",

    ]
  }
}

[jaunty wraith]

Yeah, that's okay.

[jaunty wraith]

Is My a common name?

[solemn tulip]

[jaunty wraith]

Huh

[solemn tulip]

Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter My, and "SQL", the acronym for Structured Query Language.

[foggy jungle]

which means y'all are pronouncing it wrong

[solemn tulip]

I don't think the correct vowel sound even exists in English

[jaunty wraith]

So it's perfectly fine to butcher the pronunciation.

as english speakers usually do

we clearly should pronounce mysql as swedish myskul

I just learned about the disown bash builtin

basically you can do firefox & disown

That will launch firefox while also allowing you to exit the terminal without having it kill firefox

[fresh basalt]

unless Firefox tries to write to stdout

then it will fail

@cobalt remnant man nohup

[cobalt remnant]

that's not the point.

You have to explicity wrap the program in nohup

[fresh basalt]

You can exit the terminal without the process dying though

[cobalt remnant]

with nohup, yes.

But sometimes you forget nohup and still want to close the terminal.

[fresh basalt]

with disown you'd be okay until the process tried out write to std*

then it would die

[cobalt remnant]

in that case, you can do ctrl+z, bg then disown

[fresh basalt]

well don't forget nohup

or just write an alias

(if it's something you do a lot I mean)

otherwise if I was in X and wanted to start a non-terminal program I'd just bind a shortcut.

save the hassle

also nohup is posix

[cobalt remnant]

I still like the idea of disowning child processes

[fresh basalt]

sure

disowning children is fun

[cobalt remnant]

There's also firefox &! which disowns the process right away

https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/3886/323469

[fresh basalt]

the bash info page is really informative too

probably find it online somewhere

manpages are easier to use IMO

Sometimes I used to run non-terminal programs from the terminal using strace so I could see what they were doing.

that's fun

That's how I found out how nosy Discord was.

[scenic gust]

hey

u here?

[marble bay]

yea so, if you take commerce, you're cutting short a lot of courses that require pcm. do you have an idea of what you wanna do yet?

[scenic gust]

what are you currently doing rn?

[marble bay]

in 12th

[scenic gust]

I have 2 things in my mind an game dev or ethical hacker

[marble bay]

you're gonna have to do jee then

you could do without it, just a lot harder

[scenic gust]

But game companies are usually located far + salary is less same for ethical hacking

[jaunty wraith]

So the Yotsuba &! anime is about disowning Yotsuba

[scenic gust]

how?

[scenic gust]

bruhhh what if I do JEE like what rankings I have to get and what can i do after it

[marble bay]

you're going to have to work your ass off for 2 years if you want to get into anything decent

170-180+/300 will get you into some decent college

[scenic gust]

what?

170/180 marks?

the paper is of 720 marks right?

[marble bay]

170-180 out of 300

[marble bay]

that's for neet

[scenic gust]

oh i see

[marble bay]

that's easier said than done though

achievable, if you work for it

[scenic gust]

What if I get it like what after that

[marble bay]

you get into some nit/iiit(not iit, iiit)

[scenic gust]

i didnt get

[marble bay]

colleges

[scenic gust]

why so many i's

What do I have to do to get a high package

[marble bay]

Indian Institute of Information Technology

[scenic gust]

I dont get why do i have to learn chemistry and biology and all the other shit if I just wanna focus on CS

[marble bay]

have good grades in clg, do decent in the interview, beyond that idk, coz uk, I'm stillin 12th

[scenic gust]

u did JEE

[marble bay]

you don't need bio if you're deadset on cs

[marble bay]

I have my first attempt on monday

[scenic gust]

can you tell me a way in which I have to only do CS and still crack a high package

[marble bay]

🤷‍♂️

[scenic gust]

OMG best of luck bro✨

[marble bay]

not gonna happen easily

I'm not sure even if you could get a high package right of the bat if you did it like that

[scenic gust]

what if i go to other country

[marble bay]

I haven't looked into foreign unis

[scenic gust]

but still how?

what's better NIT or IIIT

[marble bay]

nit

iit > nit > iiit

[scenic gust]

but the fees but be in lakhs? how much is it

[marble bay]

depends

6-7 in iits and nits

~13-15 in gov run iiits double that in private run nits

not more than you pay for school though

for eg, nit trichy fees is 96k per year

tution, hostel, food inclusive

[marble bay]

this is more than what you pay for school

[scenic gust]

so that means NIT is best?

[marble bay]

no

iit fees are also around the same

and they're higher ranked

[scenic gust]

how much

[marble bay]

idk the exact number

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1115995058882232370.webp?size=48&name=constels_duck_shrug&quality=lossless

[scenic gust]

ur applying for it so u must know right?

[marble bay]

no

to get into iit

you need to clear jee mains, write advanced, clear that and then apply

I'm 6 months away from applying to iits or even knowing if I'm eligible to apply for iits

anyway, I only know a limited amount of stuff, there's tons of info online though if you wanna search it up

[scenic gust]

how much do you think you will score on monday's exam

what's the avg time people take for complete this JEE and getting into these colleges

[marble bay]

ppl prep side by side

along with 11th/12th

[marble bay]

150+ for sure I'm confident I won't go lower than that, hoping I don't do any silly mistakes and get 170+

[scenic gust]

how much have u worked for it?

[marble bay]

a lot

[scenic gust]

and what are you gonna do after getting 150+

[marble bay]

no idea

probably prepare for the 2nd attempt in april

I'm hoping I won't have to

[scenic gust]

bruh

[scenic gust]

why?!

[marble bay]

150+ won't land you anywhere good

[scenic gust]

wtf?!

[marble bay]

I mean you'd get into top private unis with that

but fees >>>>>

[scenic gust]

so much of hardwork in vain?

[marble bay]

there's worse things than that

[scenic gust]

what

oh yea

that's exactly why I dont wanna do JEE and NEET

[marble bay]

just take it easy

prep for it

put in work

[scenic gust]

I feel JEE and NEET is moh maya

[marble bay]

but it's not like jee is the end of the world

[fresh basalt]

That's something else that the test is called NEET.

[scenic gust]

I want a way in which I only study through CS and achieve

[marble bay]

kota is the place to go if you want to dedicatedly preapare for both JEE and NEET

jee is for (mostly) engineering courses, neet is medicine

[fresh basalt]

Yes I am reading this.

Sounds terrifying.

[marble bay]

it is

[scenic gust]

what do you want to become? @marble bay

[fresh basalt]

a memory

[marble bay]

we don't have enough good colleges for the population that graduates every year

so hell of a lot of competition for the good colleges

[fresh basalt]

You don't have enough land for your population, I am not surprised.

[scenic gust]

I wanna go study in foreign easy less competition

[fresh basalt]

I can't imagine how stressful administering programs must be there.

It's got to be more expensive though.

[scenic gust]

.

[marble bay]

you got to be made of money to study abroad

[fresh basalt]

Where would you go? US? UK?

[marble bay]

hopefully get into atleast an nit with cse

[scenic gust]

idk somewhere good

[marble bay]

worst case I have is some top priv unis with scholarship

[scenic gust]

what is CET?

[marble bay]

no idea

[fresh basalt]

Really great doctors.

Because if they did poorly in school their parents would probably have killed them. :P

[scenic gust]

bro is lost.

[marble bay]

I am

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/985802167707377684.webp?size=48&name=SS_Dead&quality=lossless

jee has been the only academic related thing that has made me cry

[fresh basalt]

oof

[marble bay]

it's fucking stressfull man

[fresh basalt]

I believe you.

[scenic gust]

JEE❌
depression

why do B tech when u can do diploma

[fresh basalt]

You have to find healthy ways to get rid of stress.

[marble bay]

I'm thankful my parents are atleast fine with whatever I can do

[fresh basalt]

Better to learn healthy coping mechanisms now when you are young.

[scenic gust]

same

[fresh basalt]

So you don't have to fight your stubbornness in old age to learn them.

[marble bay]

I did

[jaunty wraith]

Jobs usually have minimum requirements and some mention B Tech at the same level as an MCA with work experience.

That's a few years of difference as-is

[scenic gust]

how tf am i supposed to get work experience if i am in college

[fresh basalt]

I don't know what it's like in India but here in the US the recruiters often put ridiculous demands in their job advertisements.

[scenic gust]

like?

[fresh basalt]

Like entry level jobs requiring 3-5 years experience.

[jaunty wraith]

I said some jobs

[scenic gust]

same here bro

[marble bay]

if I end up feeling like it's too much atm just shut off everything and take a break for the day, made that a habit after my first sort of breakdown

[jaunty wraith]

That's not all jobs

[fresh basalt]

They also treat bachelor's degrees like high school diplomas.

"Oh, you have a bachelor's? You are qualified to operate the coffee machine."

[jaunty wraith]

That sounds like an exaggeration based on a few egregious samples

[fresh basalt]

It is.

[scenic gust]

xD

[fresh basalt]

It really depends on the location.

[scenic gust]

Me on my way to open my own starbucks

[fresh basalt]

But it's more than just "a few" egregious examples.

They do exist.

At least in my experience. And I've scoured lots of job boards.

[jaunty wraith]

Statistically few

[marble bay]

this is one of the reasons you wanna get into a relatively decent clg, if you do well enough in clg and make a good impression in the on campus interview, it's more likely than not that you'll get hired with a salary that is worst case, one you can live off of for the time being

[fresh basalt]

What's your sample size?

[scenic gust]

I am too scared for my future for JEE and NEET shit is the last option cuz lakhs of students apply for it and so many fail and do reattempt so much years of hardwork goes in pain

[jaunty wraith]

LinkedIn "entry-level" jobs

[fresh basalt]

LinkedIn isn't the only place to find job postings.

[jaunty wraith]

Sure

[fresh basalt]

I can't really speak to it because I haven't had an account there in actual years.

But I do have a Windows shortcut to open the web page.

[jaunty wraith]

Lol

[fresh basalt]

Thanks Microsoft.

[scenic gust]

is CET easier than JEE

[marble bay]

what is cet?

[scenic gust]

exam

[marble bay]

do you mean cuet?

[scenic gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR5daC2MFwg

[jaunty wraith]

Should have called it cute

[scenic gust]

my friend did this exam and is now doing some AI machine learning course with fees of 13000 I was shocked AF

[marble bay]

all of us pronounce it cute so close enough

[marble bay]

seems like an exam for clgs in mh only

[fresh basalt]

13000 INR?

[scenic gust]

yesss

[marble bay]

🤷‍♂️ haven't heard of it so I don't know much

[marble bay]

hold on 13k

not 1.3l?

[scenic gust]

156.41USD

[marble bay]

sure you didn't miss a 0

[fresh basalt]

yes I looked it up.

[scenic gust]

I didnt

[marble bay]

that's ludicrously low

where is he doing it?

[fresh basalt]

Is it a reputable program?

[scenic gust]

She* its DY patil college pune

[scenic gust]

idk i havent heard of it

[fresh basalt]

What sort of things does the program teach? I am wary of the recent explosion of AI stuff.

[scenic gust]

but she must have worked dead hard to get hard to get that scholarship

[scenic gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR5daC2MFwg

Ig its this one

I am not sure

I am gonna talk with her once on how she did I am gonna do the same

[jaunty wraith]

That's… the exam

[scenic gust]

and that college is litreally walking distance away from me

[jaunty wraith]

They're asking about the course

[scenic gust]

I am talking about the exam only

[marble bay]

they're asking about the course itself

[scenic gust]

Its a state level exam

[jaunty wraith]

D. Y. Patil in Mumbai is well-known though. Not sure about Pune

[scenic gust]

there are 2 in pune and they are well known too

singhad and 1 in dhanori

[jaunty wraith]

I see. The most I've heard of is CoEP lol.

[marble bay]

probably something like CS +AI as a subj, those courses have been popping up recently. just a guess

[scenic gust]

I am not sure about this exam I am still half knowledged okay so dont trust it

[meager sphinx]

coep is OG

[scenic gust]

I am gonna ask her today about it

[fresh basalt]

My university was trying to capitalize on hacker hype and started offering some cybersecurity program that was a collaboration between some of the different colleges.

[scenic gust]

I wish I was born in US to get these facilities

[fresh basalt]

I think there are advantages to being born where you are.

I think often we wish things like we were born elsewhere but take for granted the things we have because we are in the place we are in.

[marble bay]

if you were born in the us you might be wishing you were somewhere else, because of what you see as inconveniences caused by living in the us

in the end, no country is perfect

just accept where you are and try to make the best of it

[fresh basalt]

Also you're not going to find good Indian food everywhere in the US.

[marble bay]

the UK doesn't have that problem

[fresh basalt]

The UK made their own Indian food.

[jaunty wraith]

Well

[marble bay]

I remember one time John Oliver almost said the Uk has the best Indian food and then stopped himself mid sentence 💀

[fresh basalt]

Well I should say it was created by Indian chefs to cater to UK tastes.

[marble bay]

let me see if I can find it

[fresh basalt]

I think it's like Americanized Chinese food.

With chicken tikka you wouldn't have so much tomato sauce would you?

[marble bay]

I don't think so, but honestly no idea, I'm vegetarian 💀

[jaunty wraith]

Tomato sauce?

[uneven pine]

My boss today tried to tell me that vegetarians eat chicken and fish

I was like ???? No????

[jaunty wraith]

Lol

[fresh basalt]

yes chicken tikka masala has a tomato sauce

[uneven pine]

I was eating a plate full of chicken and she straight up asked if I was vegetarian

[fresh basalt]

That's the British dish we're talking about in a roundabout way.

[uneven pine]

I'm like ?? What?

[jaunty wraith]

I see

We do put tomato in the chicken stew

[marble bay]

https://youtu.be/JDwEV7ATjNk?t=65

[fresh basalt]

Some people just think of meat as the stuff that comes from four-legged animals.

Which is an odd, older thing I guess.

Like they don't consider fish to be meat at all. It's in its own category.

Seafood I guess.

[marble bay]

iirc, there's one community in west bengal(? somewhere round there) that, though they're supposed to be vegetarian(without detail, bcoz culture) but eat fish because fishing was a much larger thing there than say, rice farming

[jaunty wraith]

Everything is meat
Vegetables? Meat of plants
Bread? Meat of plants
/s

[fresh basalt]

Plants scream when you cut them.

You just can't hear it.

[jaunty wraith]

In pain or?

[marble bay]

they're into that 😏

[fresh basalt]

We don't know.

There's no scientific way to determine if they feel pain.

[marble bay]

I mean surely there is?

we know plants talk to each other

[fresh basalt]

They release chemicals to warn other plants.

Well we can look for the biological markers of what we think might indicate that they feel pain.

[meager sphinx]

imagine there was an alien humanoid species that used photosynthesis to live (just like plants)

and they saw vegans on here 💀

[fresh basalt]

But we don't know.

[marble bay]

💀

[meager sphinx]

then we gotta redefine cruelty and vegan food and such 😂

[fresh basalt]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nociception

[karmic gust]

i dont think photosynthesis is what vegans care about

(nor what an intelligent alien species would primarily identify with)

[meager sphinx]

yea , but they say eat plants coz they dont feel pain

[marble bay]

now I'm imagining predator 1, unchanged, but predator 2 is just full of the predator being tired and walking like a sloth from the lack of sunlight

[jaunty wraith]

Superman uses photosynthesis

[marble bay]

faceless creatures are fair game then?

[marble bay]

wait wha-

[jaunty wraith]

Jk

[fresh basalt]

Superman is strong because of our sun.

[meager sphinx]

so if we eat superman is it cannibalism or vegan diet ?

[marble bay]

but that's not photosynthesis

[fresh basalt]

correct

[marble bay]

neither, he's a different species but meat so not vegan either

[fresh basalt]

Maybe he's like fish.

Superman is seafood.

[marble bay]

hold on

no

we can't bite him

[jaunty wraith]

Superman is fish -- ot1

[marble bay]

I like how this went from jee -> abroad is better -> not really -> indian food -> superman? edible? cannibalism?

[fresh basalt]

Is that how you mark what you guys want the ot channel names to be?

[scenic gust]

bruh I was typing the same lol

[fresh basalt]

If so I won't even charge you royalties.

[jaunty wraith]

!otn a superman is seafood

[royal lake]

:ok_hand: Added superman-is-seafood to the names list.

[jaunty wraith]

Sometimes

[fresh basalt]

I can die now.

I have left my mark on this world.

[marble bay]

but what if

imagine superman being served in a plate and cutlery made of kryptonite

🤔

what are the rules here

[jaunty wraith]

That sounds dark

[meager sphinx]

no rules , last man standing

[fresh basalt]

suddenly white glove society

[marble bay]

not darker than snyder

[spice storm]

anyone here recently switched from windows 10 to 11? im switching rn any tips so i dont mess up? i did this long ago so ive forgotten how to do this

[marble bay]

haven't switched myself, but if you don't have backups, for the love of god, make one

[spice storm]

yes i just did, im done

now i just want to switch to windows 11

how would i do that?

[marble bay]

no idea, I don't use windows

[spice storm]

LOLL OKAY

[spice storm]

im sorry but i found this hilarious

[wanton delta]

whats so funny about it

[zealous valley]

im guessing macOS

[wanton delta]

just use linux

[zealous valley]

you use linux?

[wanton delta]

i do

[marble bay]

linux

[wanton delta]

aya

[marble bay]

garuda linux to be specific

(arch derivative)

so, technically speaking

[wanton delta]

arch btw

[marble bay]

I use arch btw

[zealous valley]

but why linux

[wanton delta]

how riced are you

[wanton delta]

windows sucks
feels more like a hobby project nowadays

[zealous valley]

cant argue with that...

[wanton delta]

i do still have windows 10 on my PC

on laptop though, linux

[zealous valley]

which brand is linux from

[wanton delta]

linux is linux

[marble bay]

none

linux is a kernel

[zealous valley]

like windows from microsoft
masOS from apple

[marble bay]

there's a variety of distros(distributions) built upon that kernel

[zealous valley]

and linux is from kernel?

[marble bay]

there's tons of companies

[marble bay]

kernel is a piece of software haha

[marble bay]

for example ubuntu is maintaned by cannonical

debian by debian

[zealous valley]

im so unfamiliar with linux nor ubuntu nor debian

[marble bay]

(literally the same name)

[willow narwhal]

The Linux Foundation might be what you're looking for. But it's not a 1-to-1 correspondence.

[marble bay]

it's ok to have gaps in knowledge :)

to make it clear, linux is not an os

it's a piece of software that multiple oses use

[wanton delta]

^

[marble bay]

oh I'm stupid, android uses the linux kernel

[zealous valley]

eh?

[marble bay]

most obvious example and I don't use it

💀

[marble bay]

it does

[zealous valley]

okay so software is what makes oses?

[marble bay]

a kernel is a program that is like a messenger between hardware and software

[wanton delta]

those who have made OS pls enlighten us

[marble bay]

windows has a kernel, mac has one, and all the groups of oses that fall under linux use the linux kernel

albeit they use different versions of it

basically, your app/game whatever tells the kernel, hey I need to use the cpu/gpu etc.. for so and so thing

and the kernel tells your app, ok cool, and it goes to the cpu/gpu whatever and tells it, hey this thing needs your resources for a bit

[zealous valley]

jesus christ im so high

[marble bay]

software is what makes oses though

so you are right about that

in fact os itself is a software of sorts

[marble bay]

and so does your phone

it just happens to be that android uses the linux kernel as well

[zealous valley]

technology boomer here

[marble bay]

so you can now say you use linux

(don't though, the people who actually use linux will whoop your ass /j)

[zealous valley]

lmao

in the end everything is created based on 0 and 1

[marble bay]

*everything is created with sand

we just put lots of it in a specific manner and make electrons go wee in it

and bam

computers

[zealous valley]

everything is created from big bang

[marble bay]

but what created the bing bang?

[willow narwhal]

Great A'Tuin's desire?

[zealous valley]

what's voice verified btw

[willow narwhal]

See #voice-verification , it allows you to talk in voice channels

[zealous valley]

not confident with my accent lol

[wanton delta]

dont concern yourself with it, just chat :d
though I myself have never talked in VC

[zealous valley]

aint nobody gonna understand the gibberish i talk about

[marble bay]

(I use kde, so pretty much 0%)

though I'm debating getting hyprland atm

[zealous valley]

youre the chess player

[marble bay]

*I'm the antichess player

I suck ass at chess

[zealous valley]

doubt it

i cant even beat mittens

[marble bay]

the only things I'll miss about kde are krunner and the beautiful window switching animation

mittens is pure evil

try martin

[wanton delta]

that shit is like 3500 elo or something

[zealous valley]

wow im so dumb to try to beat that thing

it says 0

[wanton delta]

its a meme

[marble bay]

@wanton delta you have any opinions about kde/hyprland

🤔

[wanton delta]

a well-mmarketed meme

[zealous valley]

whats that

[gritty zinc]

being an antichess player and being a bad chess player are very different things 😛

[marble bay]

I'm both

I'm decent at anti, while being bad at chess

[zealous valley]

me too

[wanton delta]

i haven't really tried kde, it does look clean

[meager sphinx]

we should all play skribble or smth sometime

[marble bay]

hyprland then?

[zealous valley]

i giveaway my pawns while im also bad at chess

[wanton delta]

havent either
i guess i also dont rice

im on LXDE

[marble bay]

cool

ig I'll ask in a linux community l8r

[zealous valley]

wait maybe because im bad at chess that i sacrifice my pawns

[marble bay]

good players sacrifice pawns

[meager sphinx]

blundering != sacrificing

[marble bay]

bad blayers blunder pawns

[meager sphinx]

in sacrifice , you lose material but gain advantage
in blunder , you just lose material

[marble bay]

and probably give advantage

[meager sphinx]

mhm

[zealous valley]

i sacrifice my king to eat queen

[marble bay]

assert blundering != sacrificing

[zealous valley]

because my king is useless

[wanton delta]

2.0 chess

[meager sphinx]

4D chess

is sick

if you understand it

[marble bay]

the only variant I'll get behind is anti

because I'm only decent at that

[meager sphinx]

grasshopper chess 😂

[marble bay]

💀

[wanton delta]

chess 2.0 when

[meager sphinx]

fogg chess

[marble bay]

there's tons of variants

[meager sphinx]

when we solve chess 1.0

solving chess 1.0 will take eternity

[polar niche]

print (hello world)

[wanton delta]

the last like few moves of chess is solved

[marble bay]

hmm I wonder how powerful a quantum computer you'd need

[zealous valley]

you forgot the " buddy

[marble bay]

NameError: Undefined Variable hello

[meager sphinx]

that is like nothing compared to total possible combinations

a lot of endgames are solved tho , yes

[polar niche]

I know

[wanton delta]

but it is solved, for those last moves

[marble bay]

you're talking about the tablebase

[wanton delta]

ye

[zealous valley]

"print(hello world)" more like it

[marble bay]

that's already like trillions if I'm not wrong

[wanton delta]

yeaap

[meager sphinx]

but if you are in the middle game , how would you know what move to play so that you eventually get there ? there are insanely incomrpehnsible moves to play

[marble bay]

hey, atleast it won't raise an error

[polar niche]

Now iam learning html

[wanton delta]

oh im not saying humans know all of them

[marble bay]

not even computers know what moves in the middle game lead to an objectively winning endgame

they take extremely educated guesses is all

[meager sphinx]

then yeah
a lot of endgames are solved (like king + 3 pawns , individual piece +king and so on)

[wanton delta]

yee

[marble bay]

not just a lot of end games, like n specific pieces or less is solved, it's called the tablebase

lemme link it 1 sec

[meager sphinx]

ikik , thats why there is so on in there 😄

[zealous valley]

way less sad

[zealous valley]

and here i thought chess players are scary

[marble bay]

💀

I don't spend any time memorizing them

jus get stuck in my head

[zealous valley]

bro spent 17 years listening to these infinite song

[marble bay]

nah

[zealous valley]

anyway that makes us the same age

[marble bay]

why'd you remind me I was 17 already

😭

[zealous valley]

tho im turning 18 at april

[marble bay]

it feels like yesterday that I was 13

[zealous valley]

THATS SO

nah maybe not true for me

was about to say "so true"

[marble bay]

I literally still feel like I was in 8th grade just yesterday

oh how so naive I was

I miss that

miss being care free

without stress

[zealous valley]

theres no moment in my life where i was carefree

[marble bay]

you most definitely need a break

[zealous valley]

turning 18 on april, gotta think about what work should i have

[marble bay]

straight to work? no bachelors degree?

where r u from?

[zealous valley]

a country with million islands

[marble bay]

Indonesia?

or Japan?

[zealous valley]

close to a country with "a" letter

[hushed ember]

Hello people I'm new here and I'm learning Python and only 13 💀

[marble bay]

ok rapid fire

argentina

prolly not

[zealous valley]

you said it already

[marble bay]

oh wait close to

oh indonesia ig

[zealous valley]

yeah

im planning to move

[elfin axle]

i think it was sweden or something

[zealous valley]

no im indonesian

[marble bay]

? when did sweden become an island nation lol

[elfin axle]

no but have too much island

[marble bay]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_islands

by number of islands, seems to be

[zealous valley]

this year's president election sucks

my opinion tho

[marble bay]

that can be said about nearly every country though

[hushed ember]

Tru

[zealous valley]

the fall of indonesia, internal conflict in indonesia, or the bankrupcy of indonesia

[marble bay]

without getting into too much detail, the fact that the current ruling party supports an organazation whose founder supported the n*zis didn't sway my parents opinion of the ruling party

[zealous valley]

uh oh

[marble bay]

I'm Indian, and from that you can piece the rest together with a couple google searches

[marble bay]

I doubt that fact would sway more than like 10% of the supporters of the ruling party

[zealous valley]

indians, underrated fr

[marble bay]

just to be clear that organization itself isn't made up of n*zis, but they are pretty fcking radical

and so is the ruling party

[zealous valley]

people laugh at indians but indians are smart

[marble bay]

*some

[zealous valley]

smarter than my homies

[marble bay]

I eagerly await the day the current generation is old enough to gain a majority in parliament

[zealous valley]

dont forget to regularly get out of your kursi and stretch

[marble bay]

oh I strech plenty

I have to to be able to flexible enough to do daily tasks

[zealous valley]

whats kursi in your language

[marble bay]

my legs are unproportionately long

I assume kursi means chair right?

[zealous valley]

oh so i was right

in indonesia chair also means kursi

[hushed ember]

Drink chai ☕

[marble bay]

that's in urdu

which'd make sense

since you guys have a significant muslim population

wait do you guys speak urdu or is indonesian a thing?

[hushed ember]

🤔

[zealous valley]

indonesian

[marble bay]

ah

probably stuck from urdu ig

[zealous valley]

well, except for muslims, they speak uhh

idk what language it is

[marble bay]

I'd assume urdu?

it's probably urdu

[zealous valley]

idk but al'quran language

[marble bay]

that's in arabic if I'm not wrong

[zealous valley]

im not into religions

what bout you

[marble bay]

I do believe in some higher power

I'm unsure as to who or what that is

but I do believe in one

[zealous valley]

will i get banned if i said i dont believe in gods

[hushed ember]

Lol

[marble bay]

nah aethism isn't extreme enough to get you banned

[hushed ember]

Nah 👎 I don't think so

[marble bay]

gotta be more radical for a ban

😏

[zealous valley]

well, just like how we control people in game

i do believe that someone from some other dimension have control over us

though i wouldnt call them god

just like some games that breaks the fourth walls, but that's scripted right?
then wouldn't be surprising if there's also some higher above who scripted us to believe

[zealous valley]

so yeah me too

[tardy rain]

Why

Do you have power over things in other dimensions

Why would you believe others have over you

[timid latch]

Define "other dimensions"

[sacred cove]

[marble bay]

you can manipulate a 2d plane

or a 1d line

[tardy rain]

Its whatever they meant in this post

[tardy rain]

How, and i dont mean theoretically

[gritty zinc]

it's me. i live in people's walls and have power over them.

a few thousand years ago i trolled some small town so hard they started worshipping me. good times.

[marble bay]

did you take a break for 3 days perchance?

[gritty zinc]

maybe

[marble bay]

well I have nothing to offer you

but if you're looking for a logical argument beyond that, I don't know what to tell you

[tardy rain]

Beyond what

[marble bay]

you can't really prove why you have faith in a higher power you've never seen

[tardy rain]

How do you manipulate 2d things in this universe

[marble bay]

you just do, or you don't

[tardy rain]

Yea i asked why

Why do you have faith, not prove to me there is a higher power

[marble bay]

I had that conversation a few months back

took up a whole day

but in short

[tardy rain]

😩 this short is longer than you thought

[marble bay]

I don't know, there's some stuff here and there, but I truly have no idea. maybe it sooths my mind to know it's not 1 in bajillion chance that we came to exist here, but someone or something is looking over us, while we still have control, or some semblance of it, perhaps I(or humanity as a whole) can't comprehend that that 1 in a bajillion chance could happen on accident, and someone orchestrating it made more sense.

[timid latch]

I really like the idea of stacked universes, there is no real universe, it's all just an infinite stack of fiction.

[marble bay]

I'm shrinking 7 hours into 1 paragraph give me a break

[tardy rain]

I dont think the idea of "someone looking over us" is a good one

Theres a great deal of injustice happening in the world

If someone really was looking over us why would there be injustice?

Or are they only looking over some of us

That just means its back to the 1 in a bajillion chance to have someone look over you again

[timid latch]

Who is to say whoever this person is wants a happy story, we write fiction where terrible stuff happens, and we enjoy it

[tardy rain]

I dont the people in the story would be happy someone outside their reality is making their life so

[timid latch]

Ofc they wouldn't, but they don't have any power to change that, who is to say the same deal isn't happening with us

[tardy rain]

I dont think its senseless tragedy people enjoy in fiction

Thats fucked up

[tardy rain]

Why would you believe that someone with no power is watching over you

How does that help with your mental

[marble bay]

"they" as in all of us

[tardy rain]

People believe because the power they believe in has the power

Why would i believe some powerless being from another reality is watching me

[gritty zinc]

they don't have any power to change that
sounds like a skill issue. reverse-engineer your author's lifestory from the details of your environment and blackmail them 👍

[tardy rain]

Fuck them

[tardy rain]

That was "you" as in "you all"

At least if you believe in a "higher power" that means you think they can change things in your life

Whats some weakling god gonna do

🤷

[delicate pecan]

sheesh

[marble bay]

this is where some of the things in the religion I was raised into explains in what I'd think is a pretty neat manner. I suppose you've heard of karma. In hindu mythology, it's repeatedly shown that not even incarnations of god are exempt from karma, you do wrong, you pay for it.

I have my faiths, you have yours, let's just leave it at that

[tardy rain]

Im not trying to change your faith lol

[delicate pecan]

aren't they like exempt of karma and curses but they just respect them and accept them?

[tardy rain]

Anyway i dont think some abstract concept like karma counts as "being watched over"

[marble bay]

they aren't, there's multiple instances where incarnations were cursed, and faced(? idk what's the word to use) karma from their previous incarnations wrong doings so to speak

[delicate pecan]

sheesh, ty for letting me know

[gritty zinc]

as far as made-up things go, karma is pretty great.

[tardy rain]

Yea

Ideally we punish bad actions in the same lifetime they were committed but nobody's perfect

[sick shadow]

i've been up for too long

i read your name as "ConfusedRectum" @gritty zinc

[ruby fox]

aka constipation lol

[wanton delta]

"should I let this go or not"

[rough sapphire]

a

[frigid cave]

true

[rough sapphire]

yo

yea

what's the solution

i tried using the other caches.default.cache thing also

[frigid cave]

so sketch solution would be:

have a cron worker fetch the api every X minutes which can keep retrying until it succeeds and store the response in CF KV
for your worker that needs the data, it can just pull it from CF KV, and you could have that cached so you dont get too many reqs to CF KV

[rough sapphire]

bet

isn't CF KV kinda expensive tho

[frigid cave]

eh, kinda

cause its globally distributed

LMAO

i just got throttled on coingecko api

after making 1 request

[rough sapphire]

LOL yea

i wish the worker just cached it properly

fuck

[drowsy rose]

cloudflare moment

[frigid cave]

hey @wheat lynx can my new brother @charred flower be unbanned? i think we were just very excited to meet another cloudflare lover, i mean the circumstances were beautiful. he was simply seeking some advice about his code, and i suddenly received multiple dms and pings from friends to unite us for our shared love for cloudflare. i dont think @charred flower had any bad intentions. i personally think hes had an appropriate cooling off period now, dont you agree?

[spare oriole]

Contact @polar knoll

[frigid cave]

this is a personal message

directed at my good friend wookie

[spare oriole]

Which should go into mod mail. Since the action was an moderation action

[frigid cave]

you can hardly call that moderation, that was brute force

💔

[spare oriole]

It was moderation after repeated warnings and requests to stop, contact @polar knoll

Or just have him come back tomorrow

[tall halo]

Hi guys can someone help me with some code ?

[frigid cave]

brother, he cannot come back tommorow 😭

[open fern]

Please reach out to @polar knoll that way the whole moderation team can take a look.

[spare oriole]

Why not?

[frigid cave]

he is banned

[spare oriole]

for 5 hours I believe

Or was it 5 days?

[frigid cave]

5 days 😭
