As it should be.

#

Most other OSes don't have Docks.

#

"Docks"

#

I shouldn't be like this.
My apologies.

sand goblet
#

at least you did the right thing and made it reserve the space

#

although your window buttons are still on the left

wooden kindle
#

oof

lilac glade
#

Not THAT is a laptop.

sand goblet
#

it looks like a thin client

#

it's clearly not though

wooden kindle
#

Still trying to figure out what "thin client" means

stark prawn
#

very weak pc used to log in to a remote environment.

lilac glade
#

Thin laptop? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

wooden kindle
#

Ah thank you

lilac glade
#

Oh, the technical meaning.

#

Tha tone makes sense.

sand goblet
#

Yeah

wooden kindle
#

Yeah this thing is a beast, gets pretty spicy under load though

sand goblet
#

Yeah, the colour backlit keyboard gave away that it's a gamer-targetted machine

wet steppe
#

desktop gang

sand goblet
#

I'd like a laptop but I'll always main a desktop

wet steppe
#

desktop + a good phone is best combo

stark prawn
#

I've only had a laptop for about 5 years since I couldn't afford both.

lilac glade
#

Same here.
That's why my desktop has 3 monitors and the MacBook is used solely as a development machine.

wooden kindle
#

I never used by tower after I got this

sand goblet
#

I need three for dev too

lilac glade
#

Also, notice the distinction:
my desktop vs the MacBook.

wooden kindle
#

Just set up a docking station for the desktop experience

sand goblet
#

Renting a machine seems like a bad idea

gentle moss
#

i have more screens than that at work

#

but they're not as nice

#

wait, who rents?

sand goblet
#

Was a jokel

gentle moss
#

oooooooh

#

like rent boys

#

DOCKING station

#

gotcha

@oak tangle Wait are they buyable?

proper dune
#

What a weird question

narrow comet
#

nice

#

answered it

wet steppe
#

I voted

proper dune
#

Coding is just the act of giving instructions to a computer. Nothing inherently political about coding

wet steppe
#

I said it is political

#

cos every action is political

proper dune
#

Writing hello world isnt political lol

wet steppe
#

it is

#

even moving is political

#

cos of the butterfly effect

proper dune
narrow comet
#

I said it's not inherently political and then proceeded to bully enki

wet steppe
#

this is what you get if you ask discord 😄

half spoke
#

well thats the thing

#

some people think it is, some don't

narrow comet
#

@wet steppe >justifying your actions by blaming "Discord" which is a platform not even an entity

half spoke
#

hence why i made a poll

#

discord is a company

#

so technically its a person

narrow comet
#

and a platform

#

I doubt Apex here is talking about the company

#

because you didn't ask the company

half spoke
#

plz do not be mean in the responses uwu

narrow comet
#

who was mean

half spoke
#

im missing context, i was just being a dick

#

nobody, apex was just a bit abrasive :P

narrow comet
#

was he

half spoke
#

yeah

wet steppe
#

the responses were anonymous

half spoke
#

just a tad

wet steppe
#

how do you know which one was from me

half spoke
#

there are two responses, how do you think?

wet steppe
#

XD

half spoke
#

mind if i quote it here?

wet steppe
#

ok

half spoke
#

"Because why the hell would it be political? This question makes no sense to me."

wet steppe
#

that wasn't mine

#

OMG

half spoke
#

followed immediately with a discord message saying almost the same thing lmao

narrow comet
#

that was me lmao

wet steppe
#

I'm the other one

narrow comet
#

Enki messes up live

half spoke
#

the only other response was "every action is political" followed by lyricly saying the same thing here lmao

#

tfw yall troll me

narrow comet
#

and LyricLy gottem again

wet steppe
#

"every action is political" was me yeah

#

lol

narrow comet
#

"I said it's not inherently political and proceeded to bully enki"

#

and you thought it was Apex

wet steppe
narrow comet
#

I never even said that every action is political

#

Apex did

wet steppe
#

yeah

half spoke
#

WAIT

#

IM A DUMBASS

#

i was really mindfucked for a sec here

#

oh my god i cant fucking read

wet steppe
#

make anonymous poll
call someone out for their response
get the responses mixed up cos the poll was anonymous
...
profit?

half spoke
#

ENKI MESSES UP LIKE 3 TIMES IN A ROW LIVE

#

i misread im sorry ;-;

wet steppe
#

its okay 😃

half spoke
#

i was like

#

really fucking confused lmao

#

honestly, i'm more interested in the "why/why not" part

wet steppe
#

if you take the definition that "politics is all actions that affect a group"
then to me that seems to cover all actions

#

but some definitions specify that it has to be a country

half spoke
#

not sure if i should post my opinion or not, dun wanna be partial to one answer

narrow comet
#

if you have an opinion, not stating it isn't gonna delete it

wet steppe
half spoke
#

@narrow comet yeah but i don't wanna influence anything ¯_(ツ)_/¯

After a successful release of Linux Mint 17 ‘Qiana’ and Linux Mint 17.1 ‘Rebecca‘ here is a preparation for another successful release Linux Mint 17.2.  On April, 8 Clem posted news on blog.linuxmint.com saying the next release Linux Mint 17.2...

oh yeah that works

half spoke
#

"let's check who's in the VC... oh"

#

dammit todd

#

you're finally awake

rough sapphire
#

ok

#

todd, fallout 76 still sucks

half spoke
#

it always has

#

"you're just playing it wrong" lmao

#

fucking bethesda's e3 was terrible

wet steppe
#

its getting a battle royale though

rough sapphire
#

so

wet steppe
#

battle royale best

rough sapphire
#

thats like just adding an extra arm to someone with severe cuts and burns all over their body

half spoke
#

put lipstick on a pig

#

and its still

rough sapphire
#

yea

half spoke
#

A FUCKIN
PIG

#

breakdown

wet steppe
#

what makes Fallout 76 bad

#

i haven't played it

rough sapphire
#

Everything about it

#

3/New Vegas/4 are considerably better

#

GOTY / All DLCS have to be included in the above though

#

As 4 without DLCs is.. not that great.

#

just get mods lol

#

@rough sapphire On console.. ?

#

yea i got mods on console

wet steppe
#

I mean
minecraft without mods is pretty bad too

rough sapphire
#

4 also reintroduces The Mechanist from 3 too

half spoke
#

no NPCs

rough sapphire
#

you will die in 0:05

half spoke
#

so it's empty

#

constant server crashes

rough sapphire
#

@half spoke There's NPCs, technically.

half spoke
#

are there?

rough sapphire
#

It's just all the story is on computer terminals.

half spoke
#

i thought "no NPCs" was a selling point

rough sapphire
#

It's got robot NPCs 😄

#

why is that a good thing

#

It's not

#

76 is trash

half spoke
#

it's good because all the humans are real people!

#

it's like a virtual world!

#

that nobody plays!

#

so it's empty. all the time.

#

until the players coordinate and set off 3 nukes at once and the server crashes

rough sapphire
#

The servers are horrible, you don't have enough C.A.M.P space/inventory space, the bobbleheads/magazine upgrades are temporary

half spoke
#

temporary upgrades

#

fucking what

rough sapphire
#

The story is lackluster and not told to you via other NPC humans/individuals, it's done through things you find/computer terminals

#

Yeah, other Fallouts have had temporary upgrades

#

Like... 3? I think some of the magazines were temporary

#

But not all of them

half spoke
#

i dont remember that

rough sapphire
#

Yeah

half spoke
#

but i also dissociated the entire time i played that game so who knows lmao

#

oops spoiler

rough sapphire
#

Are you talking about 76?

half spoke
#

3

rough sapphire
#

Uh...

#

You mean New Vegas?

half spoke
#

nope

#

am i mixing this up with oblivion?

rough sapphire
#

I think you're mixing up 3 and New Vegas

half spoke
#

nope

#

ill DM you the link

rough sapphire
#

Sec, gotta enable DMs

half spoke
#

aight

rough sapphire
#

Go for it

wet steppe

rough sapphire

Yeah, thought of something else

let it be known that i was correct :P

rough sapphire

im always right

please do not make a montage of me being wrong

noooooooo

here i can get 2 t-shirts for 10$

#

I'll try to buy REEEE

#

Is there also an Hoodie available?

tame terrace

30 bucks? should only be 15 for the cheapest one.

#

and yes I do believe there is a hoodie.

hasty stream
#

the link above ^

#

oh

#

I'd like a hoodie for 30$ if possible lol

tame terrace
#

sorry we dont control the price :/

hasty stream
#

ohh

thats nice

#

i like hoodies

#

if lemon eats a lemon, is that cannibalism or survival of the fittest?

tame terrace
#

it's a lemon-eat-lemon world

hasty stream
#

That broke my brain

gentle moss
#

if a lemon has to eat a lemon i think that's a citruious situation

rough sapphire
#

but.. is it a renewable source of electricity...

sand goblet

I feel like I only barely covered this game yesterday, but yet I have 14 achieves already

@sand goblet go back to your nap

which distro u guys using ?

sand goblet
#

manjaro

summer rampart
#

A--

#

choo

stark prawn
#

manjaro, arch and raspbian

grave phoenix
#

arch

#

and raspbian

narrow comet
#

Arch

sand goblet
#

I mean I'm currently on windows but I use manjaro when I actually do any work

narrow comet
#

and Raspbian

worldly grail
#

manjaro look good

narrow comet
#

my desktop at home is Windows

summer rampart
#

TempleOS

narrow comet
#

I only switched to Arch on this trip

sand goblet
#

oh no

narrow comet
#

anyone know how to mass transfer dotfiles?

sand goblet
#

cp

stark prawn
#

git

narrow comet
#

mass

sand goblet
#

yeah, git

summer rampart
#

I use yadm to manage it

narrow comet
#

yeah I'll use git

#

ooh dotfile manager

#

didn't know these were a thing

rough sapphire
#

Debian

sand goblet
#

at least it's not ubuntu

rough sapphire
#

Thinking in go to fedora

sand goblet
#

Ubuntu: Ancient African world meaning "Can't install Debian"

rough sapphire
#

or go back to arch

summer rampart
#

there are quite a few dotfile managers, how they manage them differs though

grave phoenix
#

scp

worldly grail
#

is there any distro specially known for customization ?

sand goblet
#

gentoo

narrow comet
#

Ubuntu is crap, I have never used Ubuntu without a swathe of awful issues

#

Arch is easy

sand goblet
#

good luck though

stark prawn
#

secure contain protect your dotfiles.

rough sapphire
#

i have installed debian because one AUR have broke, but the problem is in the debian too

narrow comet
#

Debian is further behind packagewise lol

#

what's the package?

rough sapphire
#

XMind-zen

stark prawn
#

I just copy my dotfiles to my Documents folder before reinstalling tbh

rough sapphire
#

to make mind maps

sand goblet
#

gentoo is basically the gold standard in customising your linux install

#

don't like systemd? don't use it

#

but god does it have a high skill ceiling

stark prawn
#

You'd be insane not to.

sand goblet
#

yeah, systemd is awesome, but there's always one

narrow comet
#

all of my dotfiles are in $HOME right

#

ofc they are

stark prawn
#

Having all these folders on a seperate partition was a life changer.

narrow comet
#

I want both of my computers to be exactly the same

#

synced AFAP

grave phoenix
#

Afap?

narrow comet
#

unfortunate acronym

#

as fast as possible

stark prawn
#

asap

narrow comet
#

as in AFAP as fast as possible

#

crap

#

@stark prawn asap is one-time

stark prawn
#

I wouldnt' want my laptop and desktop have the exact same configs tbh.

sand goblet
#

same

grave phoenix
#

same

summer rampart
#

I use the same config files, what gets used depends on the hostname

#

easier to manage

worldly grail
#

which manjaro should i use ?

stark prawn
#

kde

narrow comet
#

when I said exact same I meant exact same

sand goblet
#

the one you like

narrow comet
#

like when I open a program on one it opens on the other

worldly grail
#

kde looks good

sand goblet
#

kde/plasma is probably the most user friendly

grave phoenix
#

kde

worldly grail
#

plasma ?

sand goblet
#

KDE Plasma

#

yeah

That's a dark theme

grave phoenix
#

Oh wait only one

Now that's just doing the image a disservice.

Hmm how can you be the most offensive to anyone

#

What's the most vulgar possible action/sentance

gentle moss
#

varies from person to person

pine vector
#

What's the most vulgar possible action/sentance
misspelling/mispronouncing their name repeatedly would probably do the trick. though, not vulgar... 😉

How much for a custom one?

I got them all off of RedBubble.

#

I need to get a bigger PyDis sticker though.

grave phoenix
#

Where are you sticking them?

sand goblet
#

not on his macbook

#

I hope

lilac glade
#

I very grossly underestimated the size of those stickers

#

And, Gdude, for as smart as you might be, wrong

Hello am a new user of discord can anyone welcome me

welcome @barren schooner

barren schooner
#

Thank you @grim pelican

rough sapphire
#

How goes it @barren schooner ?

robust sierra
#

does that answer your question?

#

No

Pretty well

You guys often active here?

Sometimes, sure

robust sierra

i used to be a bit more active

Anyone knows the sinx = x joke on engineers?

proper dune
#

I'd be surprised if someone didn't

robust sierra
#

i dont

plucky steeple
#

Be surprised robotboi

Can't use surprise as a reaction because it has 2 rs...

Keep going, problem fixed

Rust is great

:someonesaidrust: 👀

proper dune
plucky steeple
#

I love that thing!

robust sierra
#

might have to learn rust soon

proper dune
robust sierra
#

to see whats so good about it

tired osprey
#

thats the wrong m word

#

must

robust sierra
#

whats good about rust

tired osprey
#

the huge degree of safety it provides at compile time combined with the close to zero runtime overhead it requires

proper dune
#

Also functional inspired constructs are a blessing to use compared to the average OOP language's garbage mechanics

#

Typeclasses, pattern matching, monadic interfaces for errors, constant use for iterators are all really good

tired osprey
#

typeclasses!!!!!!

robust sierra
#

dont know anything you guys are talking about

tired osprey
#

typeclasses can be used to enforce a certain program flow at compile time

#

for example

robust sierra
#

r/vaguecomputerscienceknowledge GWmythiFeelsBadMan

proper dune
#

Type classes are interfaces on steroids

tired osprey
#

i like type states

#

event though its oop its so useful in embedded

robust sierra
#

@proper dune so i want to put my rpi to use and came up the idea of it shooting water at my face to wake me up. what can i use to make my rpi squeeze something, like a water bottle maybe

proper dune
#

Easier would be to get a water pistol and put a servo on the trigger or something probably. Squeezing a water bottle sounds hard

robust sierra
#

hm

#

okay

tired osprey
#

maybe you could pump air into a (bad literal translation) manchette around the bottle somehow

#

if you really want a water bottle

narrow comet
#

manchette?

gentle moss
#

all you'd need is a motor

#

a cam

#

and a squirty bottle

narrow comet
#

the hell

tired osprey
#

I SAID BAD LITERAL TRANSLATION

narrow comet
#

is a manchette

tired osprey
#

ill look it up

#

fcking hell

#

the thing they use to measure your blood pressure

narrow comet
#

oh

tired osprey
#

which gets put on your arm

narrow comet
#

ye ye

gentle moss
#

but seriously

#

you'd just need a cam and a motor

tired osprey
#

how do you squeeze a squirty bottle with a motor

gentle moss
#

using a cam

tired osprey
#

i mean the physical process

#

how do you use your motor to squirt the bottle

#

not how do you trigger it

pine vector
#

peristaltic pump...much easier. 😉

narrow comet
#

okay so

#

RPI spits water

vestal briar
#

🤔

narrow comet
#

hmm

#

piston

#

push the water with a piston

robust sierra
#

@proper dune sorry about my ignorance about components, are servos motors that basically make a squeeze motion or something?

tired osprey
#

rags solution is still the best

#

no they move import errror

#

he means you should put a stickc on the motor which pulls the trigger

#

because you can control the degree at which a servo motor is with a PWM signal

narrow comet
#

don't servos rotate

tired osprey
#

no

#

they move to a certain angle

narrow comet
#

heck

tulip palm
#

they rotate but only slightly

gentle moss
tulip palm
#

sort of like your arms, but only less fleshy

tired osprey
#

bisk thats no better than a water pistol is it

gentle moss
#

cam + motor

narrow comet
#

oh, you set a servo to an angle and it goes there

tired osprey
#

yes

gentle moss
#

well a water pistol shoots a jet

narrow comet
#

basically the same thing grumble grubmle pedantry

gentle moss
#

a spray bottle would spray like a mist

narrow comet
#

it's absolute rotation instead of relativeee

#

none of this sounds effective

#

to me

#

a tiny bit of water?

#

just use a cup and a motor that jiggles the cup and makes it fall on you

gentle moss
#

haha

#

fucking mug in the eye

tired osprey
#

10 minutes later import error looses an eye due to a cup

pine vector
#

unless, this is like an amazon build. then yeah, water gun + servo. 😄

tired osprey
#

oh sommersoft is here

pine vector
#

always. watching. 👀

tulip palm
#

i only know about those from here

tired osprey
#

can you maybe tell me why micropython would output a chunk of usless unreadable bytes then wait for a bit and repeat forever on its REPL UART?

gentle moss
#

i like the idea of a rotating cam rather than a servo?

#

idk, could fire faster

#

squirt squirt squirt

narrow comet
#

@gentle moss you sleep with your eyes open? you sad sad man

robust sierra
#

@tired osprey would i need two servos to trigger the pistol?

narrow comet
#

mug on the eye wouldn't be much better but still

tired osprey
#

i dont see a reason for that

pine vector
#

@tired osprey 🤔 is the UART REPL a RAW REPL only?

gentle moss
#

you don't think a mug falling ont oyuor closed eye could still fuck up your eye?

#

:D

tired osprey
#

im just flashing firmware I built and wiring up my pins @pine vector ¯_(ツ)_/¯

narrow comet
#

nah it totally would blind you

#

okay okay just make it gently tip the mug instead

#

no dropping

pine vector
#

raw REPL is for "machine to machine" and relies on ctrl+D (VT100 EOT code)

narrow comet
#

ooh no no go back to a single thin jet

robust sierra
#

so i just stick a stick on the servo and make it move at an angle to trigger the pistol somehow?

narrow comet
#

make it target your eye though

#

water directly on the eyes isn't gonna be sleep inducing

#

attach a water heater

#

hot water on your eyes

gentle moss
#

better yet

narrow comet
#

@robust sierra if you wanna be realistic ya

gentle moss
#

make it laminar flow

vestal briar
#

Ok

gentle moss
#

and hook up a car battery

tired osprey
#

yeah but still how does this explain this weird chunk pause chunk pause pattern, shouldnt it just wait for input after it printed its information? or does a Raw REPL work different? @pine vector

vestal briar
#

Im gonna stop you there

#

Tisk and Lhric

narrow comet
#

that's enough bisk

gentle moss
#

¬_¬

narrow comet
#

alright

#

use the fluid from multiple melted batteries

gentle moss
#

to be fair i don't think it'd need to be laminar flow to carry a car battery voltage across it

robust sierra
#

genius

gentle moss
#

plus you'd have to earth yourself

#

wear an earth braclet to bed

narrow comet
#

go to sleep with a wire in your mouth

#

ez

#

or that

#

you can also do that

#

not as fun tho

pine vector
#

@tired osprey yeah...it shouldn't cycle on its own, that i know of. though, it could also be that the serial isn't independent of the USB and its picking up that. i think i remember that being a thing...

tired osprey
#

god damn it i just want to check wether my ADC implementation is wrong or the chip is actually meant to output the measurement like this with a working implementation......

nix could you draw me a diagram of what you were trying to explain?

narrow comet
#

@gentle moss wait, cut the middleman

gentle moss
#

haha

narrow comet
#

connect yourself directly to a car battery

#

control using RPi

robust sierra
#

the hardest part is buying the pistol

tired osprey
narrow comet
#

this is the best science I've ever seen

#

now please explain what the hell this is

robust sierra
#

^

tired osprey
#

well you got the big circle

#

which is the servo

narrow comet
#

I see

tired osprey
#

and then the line which is a thing sticked to the servo

narrow comet
#

then it turn

tired osprey
#

and then it pulls back the little thing which is the trigger

narrow comet
#

and it push trigger

tired osprey
#

and thus pushes it back

narrow comet
#

pull trigger

robust sierra
#

oh shit

#

fucking genius

narrow comet
#

yup

#

you some sort of engineer

robust sierra
#

thanks @proper dune @tired osprey

tired osprey
#

@pine vector stupid question but....how do i communicate with a raw repl?

#

@narrow comet its called "being german"

narrow comet
#

a raw REPL?

gentle moss
#

man

#

i still think servo is over engineered

tired osprey
#

read the convo in the convo between me and him lyriclie

proper dune
#

Why would servo be over engineered? It's literally just pushing a trigger

narrow comet
#

it's literally a servo

#

can't get less overengineered really

#

it's one servo connected to a trigger

gentle moss
#

cam and a dc motor

#

just sayin

narrow comet
#

what even is a cam

tired osprey
#

bisk wants a DC brush motor which continues turning releasing and pulling the trigger again and again for rapid fire

#

@narrow comet CAMERA

gentle moss
#

i drew it

narrow comet
#

oh

#

but the camera is not relevant

pine vector
narrow comet
#

does it stop when the person mvoes or something

gentle moss
#

maybe it's because i've been watching too much antique tool restorations

#

cams are fucking cool

narrow comet
#

wait what kind of idealised water guns are we working with here?

#

they need to be pressurized manually

pine vector
#

cams do rock. useful all sorts of ways.

narrow comet
#

would you do that before bed

gentle moss
#

single trigger pull, cam, dc motor

#

bam bam bam bam bam

#

no pre pressurise

tired osprey
#

@pine vector and this thing runs on the Hardware UART REPL by default if i compile without any options except of my board?

gentle moss
#

rapid far as fast as motor turns

#

or even geared

pine vector
#

@tired osprey let me look. i may have some fuzzy memory going on.

narrow comet
#

violently rubbing a phallic object up and down before bed is not my idea of a good time

#

wdym no pre pressurize

#

how

gentle moss
#

because squirty bottles don't need it

#

it's done in the trigger pull

#

get a squirty bottle with an adjustable nozzle

#

plus the trigger will be larger than with a water pistol

narrow comet
#

oh you're still on squirt bottles

gentle moss
#

so you'd get more leverage to pull the trigger

narrow comet
#

honestly I would get

#

a big tank

#

and set it upside down

#

then have a disc thing attached to a servo or whatever

#

that moves

#

and lets the pinhole-thick opening flow

#

onto face

gentle moss
#

so you'd need to suspend a vat of liquid over your head and create a moving part which doesn't leak

narrow comet
#

yes

#

exactly

#

when the heavy vat of liquid falls down you simply don't ever wake up

#

which is a small bug

gentle moss
#

either that or you have an imperfect seal and keep waking up

narrow comet
#

I had all these motors from this thing called a brainbox kit

#

they didn't last very long when I attached like 8 batteries to them

#

they went super quick tho

#

I want to figure out if the 3 random wires poking out of the wall mean anything

half spoke
#

dont touch

#

or do. im not your parents

wet steppe
#

they give redstone flux

narrow comet
#

@half spoke I may touch them

#

apparently you can't plug an RPi into a doorbell, though

#

so I probably won't bother

#

(high chance it's the doorbell, ya see)

wet steppe
#

lol

#

plug RPi in everywhere

narrow comet
#

ya it can't put out enough voltage

#

evidently

vestal briar
#

I want to make a programming language

#

I shall implament one in python

#

Then rewrite in C

#

Or Rust

half spoke
#

there's always crafting interpreters

worn kite
#

might look into lex/flex and yacc/bison for C, and their ply port in Python

vestal briar
#

I feel like I want to do it myself

#

But I also feel it'll be too complicated first try

worn kite
#

eh, lex/yacc is still low level and complex enough

tame pier
vestal briar
#

Yeah

#

I would like to compile to LLVM for seriousness

#

And C just for fun to see how large the file gets with a simple-ish program

jagged fog
#

meh

vestal briar
#

meh

jagged fog
#

basically I stumbled upon a.sort(key = a.count) on net and was intrigued but then I realized it's just undefined behaviour

proper dune
#

@worn kite it's the norm to create your own parsers because it makes it easy to be able to create proper errors to spit out which is really hard with parser generators

vapid bluff
#

@vestal briar i always see you talk about how youre going to do x y and z then translate it to rust or c or whatever

#

weird... the preview didnt have that hashtag on it

#

🤷

#

srsly though, you gotta get out of the 'im gonna do this thing' purgatory

vast berry

hi

rough sapphire
#

o/ Hello

rough sapphire
#

does anyone know of any discord server related to technical help (like superuser on stackexchange)

prime aspen

@rough sapphireman

#

Feck

#

Sorry mate

gentle moss
#

forgot a belt

#

-.-

rough sapphire
#

sooo you made due with a bike lock?

#

oh wait.. just saw it's a usb cable..lol

gentle moss
#

it's an ethernet cable

#

but yeah

rough sapphire
#

I had to click the picture to see.. just did

#

are you excited for 5G in the UK

gentle moss
#

no not really

rough sapphire
#

why not

gentle moss
#

barely get 4G coverage here as it stands

#

this "Race to 5G" thing is stupid

wet steppe
#

5G in london is lit

gentle moss
#

what would be good is greater investment in the roll out of pure fibre across the more rural areas of the country

wet steppe
#

my house gets 250mb/s over 5g

gentle moss
#

rather than pumping money into areas that already have shit loads of infrastructure

wet steppe
#

great northern powerhouse?

#

we waiting for High Speed Rail 2

gentle moss
#

like if you actually cared about improving infrastructure and making Britian a place to "do digital"

#

or whatever the fuck those useless twat politicians keep saying

languid kelp
#

hey its bisk

vestal briar
#

You know

#

Forever politions are too old to know what's new tech

#

Like through history

#

Surely by now we'd have actual new advisors that know what they are doing

#

@gentle moss That picture came up when I opened my phone on the elevator

gentle moss
#

👌

#

yeah, i mean politicians aren't equipped to make these descisions because they're, generally speaking, public school wankers who've managed to scrape by on prestige or manipulative behaviour

vestal briar
#

Well we know that

gentle moss
#

which is why they SHOULD seek technical advise from the industry

#

any industry

#

but nah

#

"BAN PORN!"

#

"WE NEED TO BACK DOOR ENCRYPTION!"

#

"NATIONAL ID CARD WITH A DNA DATABASE!"

#

"FACIAL RECOGNITION ON ALL CCTV!"

languid kelp
#

can you guys stop talking about politics

#

its sooo dreary

#

like o m g

gentle moss
#

this is less about politics and more about like

languid kelp
#

wow bisk i was hoping this wasn't really about politics

vestal briar
#

I mean the pirating market will just get bigger

gentle moss
#

the reasons the UK has regressed in terms of technology

languid kelp
#

i just wanted to chime in and say what i said

gentle moss
#

compared to say

#

Nordic countries

languid kelp
#

hoping that maybe i was wrong

#

because it seemed like maybe i would be

#

but i wasn't sure

#

so i was right

#

thank you

vestal briar
#

Also why has there never been just a normal dude that just went along for election and said everything honestly 🤔

gentle moss
#

BT wanted to upgrade the infrastructure to fibre in the UK in the 80's

#

but wanted the Government to stump up cash for the large investment

#

"lol no fuck off"

#

sat here in the UK with the best 2mbps you could possibly get in London

#

and in Sweden they already had 100mbit to their houses

#

nice

vestal briar
#

I get 8mbps

#

(byte)

#

And that is being pretty lucky

gentle moss
#

small b is bit

vestal briar
#

👍 I always forget what is what

gentle moss
#

oh wow

#

an MP choke slammed a protestor at a private dinner

#

he didn't even throw a milkshake first

#

the MP.

narrow comet
#

8MBps/8Mbps is the way to communicate that you bothered to capitalize it and that should be taken into account lol

#

8mbps could just be fully lowercased or bits

hollow leaf
#

25Mbps/25Mbps. In Northeast Oklahoma, the local ISP upgraded the infrastructure to VoIP + fibre a few months ago. That's easy because I can guesstimate 95-98% is just acres of cattle/grass/whatever.

#

Yes. It is 4:02am where I am at, yes.

gentle moss
#

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooklahoma

#

WHERE THE WIND COME SWEEPING DOWN THE PLAIN

#

AND THE WAVIN WHEAT CAN SURE SMELL SWEET

#

also LyricLeigh was just denoting the form of best practice in conveying bits/bytes

#

Mbps vs MBps

#

he's not on 8/8

narrow comet
#

I think this is like

#

5/1

#

home is 100/20

vestal briar
#

Doing flask-ask for school

:(

#

It's all complicated and amazony

vestal briar
#

My Cs teacher told me off because I was adding a new feature to my api in class because I was using the api in my project

#

Then threatened to move me down a year

For all of 3 weeks until school ends 🤔

you are young.

it's all relative

Relative to your mother burnt

gentle moss
sand goblet
#

hahaha

#

glorious

languid kelp
#

how can i have a tree view in windows?

#

let me just try it

#

yeah how do i make it so i can collapse folders and see the icons

#

collapse and open them

#

i can do it in mac

sand goblet
#

you'll need to be a bit more descriptive

#

you want a directory tree view?

languid kelp
#

yes

sand goblet
#

windirstat maybe?

gentle moss
#

or treesize

#

i use windirstat, but treesize is also good

#

sometimes windirstat can have problems in low memory environments

#

i can't remember how but i managed to get it to crash on my machine with 16gb of ram

rough sapphire
#

low memory
16gb of ram

narrow comet
#

just use tree

#

oh

#

on Windows

#

windirstat then

sand goblet
#

he must've also been running chrome

narrow comet
#

my desktop only has 8GB of RAM

#

and I wouldn't call it low RAM

rough sapphire
#

only

narrow comet
#

I never run out

#

because 8GB is plenty of RAM

gentle moss
#

hahah

rough sapphire
#

Definitely depends on what you do. I've seen 512MB be plenty.

gentle moss
#

i mean...

#

my environment wasn't low memory

#

but i still managed to crash it

#

was the point i was trying to make

#

:D

#

point i made very badly.

rough sapphire
#

Yes.

languid kelp
#

windirstat

gentle moss
#

is a port of dirstat

#

which is a linux tool

languid kelp
#

which has something similar on macos

gentle moss
#

kdirstat

#

that's the bastard

languid kelp
#

2019 and i have to download things to be able to see things i want

#

i guess i like it alright so far

rough sapphire
#

As in not downloading things and things you want magically appear?

#

I don't understand the argument. Even if it's a website you're still downloading something

languid kelp
#

well as in

#

have microsoft just provide the thing i want

#

its 2019

rough sapphire
#

You still haven't said what it is you want.

languid kelp
#

a better file explorer

rough sapphire
#

Better in which way?

languid kelp
#

well for one thing, i want this feature

rough sapphire
#

.... Which is?

languid kelp
wet steppe
#

in 2019 you don't want less than 16GB

narrow comet
#

@wet steppe why?

wet steppe
#

cos stuff uses a lot of ram

rough sapphire
#

@languid kelp Except you don't see that a lot because it fills the entire screen up if you get 6/7/8 directories deep

narrow comet
#

what uses a lot of RAM

#

I've never had RAM issues

wet steppe
#

Visual Studio, Intellij and Photoshop will easily use a ton of ram

rough sapphire
#

@wet steppe 16GB of RAM?

narrow comet
#

I use none of those things

#

visual studio is for losers who program

#

intellij too

wet steppe
#

XD

narrow comet
#

photoshop is for people who are interested in sight

#

which I'm not

wet steppe
#

people who are interested in sightisn't this everyone? 😄

#

sight is great

rough sapphire
#

@narrow comet Your argument kind of disintegrated really quickly.

narrow comet
#

what argument

rough sapphire
#

Going from I've never had RAM issues to visual studio is for losers - welp.. lost me there.

#

lol

wet steppe
#

lmao

narrow comet
#

RAM isn't useful for anybody

#

because I personally don't use apps that use a lot of RAM, thank you very much

wet steppe
#

👏

rough sapphire
#

yeah.. I just threw my RAM in the garbage..

#

so excessive

languid kelp
#

WAIT

#

how do i see a single file in windirstat

#

is there a way

wet steppe
#

Photoshop can use a fuckload
someone on reddit had a screenshot
of Photoshop using 50GB ram

rough sapphire
#

garbage collected

narrow comet
#

that's a little bit too much RAM

#

hahaha does it store the entire image in RAM or something

#

...wait

gentle moss
#

i can make anything use a shitload of RAM if it's storing a shit load of things

#

and yes

narrow comet
#

oh god

gentle moss
#

you can avoid this by using HDD caching

#

well

#

SSD

#

page files etc

rough sapphire
#

im actually using shitload of RAM right now

#

let me check

narrow comet
#

SSD for non-losers that want their file access to be non-slow

gentle moss
#

we had a customer who designed banners for sporting events

wet steppe
#

they were processing a gigapixel image

gentle moss
#

you know, the banners that go around THE ENTIRE STADIUM

wet steppe
#

ye

narrow comet
#

uh-oh

gentle moss
#

one of their banner files was like fucking 100GB

rough sapphire
#

16.29 TB of RAM right now..

#

been using it for five days

narrow comet
#

AAAARGH

rough sapphire
#

straight

narrow comet
#

what about vector graphics

gentle moss
#

and they were editing it on a 16GB mac just fine

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wet steppe
#

thats very much less than a gigapixel i imagine

languid kelp
#

its fine i can put single files into a directory

narrow comet
#

just set a large amount of your disk to swap

#

I use 90%

languid kelp
#

that's harmful to your HDD lifespan

#

[citation needed]

narrow comet
#

HDD

#

also I was kidding

#

nobody gets my jokes around here smh

languid kelp
#

i don't know. maybe there is a use case for 90% swap partition

#

i don't know enough about it

narrow comet
#

there is no use case for 90% of your disk being used as RAM

vestal briar
#

Whos dinoman biskthink

gentle moss
#

if it's not funny we're not gonna see a joke

wet steppe
#

🔥

rough sapphire
#

no use case...

#

wutttttt

#

just means you need more RAM

wet steppe
#

After Effects maybe

narrow comet
#

@gentle moss so you would assume that I actually use 90% of my disk for swap

wet steppe
#

on Adobe Forum there are After Effects guys with 512GB ram for it

#

its LyricLy so yeah I would assume that

languid kelp
#

ffs

narrow comet
#

how insulting

languid kelp
#

how did plastic get into my food

gentle moss
#

no, but it's still not funny

#

i didn't see a joke

languid kelp
#

i burnt the bottom of the container on the stove top

gentle moss
#

i saw something dumb

narrow comet
#

I though tyou said "how did plastic get into my head"

languid kelp
#

but that was the bottom

narrow comet
#

and that you were gonna die

#

@gentle moss my jokes are funny

#

it's everyone else's fault for not getting them

wet steppe
#

I wasn't rly insulting you
it just sounds like something you would do

narrow comet
#

something I would do huh

#

I'm rm -rf /ing my system

wet steppe
narrow comet
#

stop me

#

should I try and do it and then ctrl + c

gentle moss
#

at least do it russian roullette style

narrow comet
#

suicide linux?

gentle moss
#

no

wet steppe
#

Star Citizen used 24GB ram apparently LMAO

gentle moss
#

[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf --no-preserve-root / || echo “*click*”

#

i think that's right

#

run as root

#

i've got into the 20's before

wet steppe
#

I've seen modded minecraft use 18GB ram
but its not fair to include modded cos some modpacks are just deliberately taking the mick with size

gentle moss
#

could probably make it fancier and like

narrow comet
#

@gentle moss that's so awesome I'm doing it

gentle moss
#

using environment variable as a counter

summer rampart
#

if you manage to "roulette" away your boot stuff then there’s that

narrow comet
#

it doesn't work correctly

#

oh does this need to be as a bash script

gentle moss
#

no you should be able to run it from a term

narrow comet
#

wait "got into the 20s" I hope you did this on a dummy system

#

uhh

gentle moss
#

duh

narrow comet
#

well zsh is not being very nice to me about executing this

gentle moss
#

i do it on temporary VM's

#

that i've only built to test stuff

#

fun way to scrap them

wet steppe
#

do it in prod

gentle moss
#

never.

wet steppe
#

its worth just one spin

#

for the adrenaline rush

#

5/6 chance it goes fine

narrow comet
#

I'm doing it on my own system

#

gonna rewrite it tho

#

doesn't seem to work like this

#

omg

#

just alias like

languid kelp
#

guys i may have ingested plastic

narrow comet
#

sl

languid kelp
#

how bad is that to do

narrow comet
#

to the Russian roulette

#

@languid kelp not very bad

languid kelp
#

okay thanks

narrow comet
#

you can ingest small amounts of most things that wouldn't be harmful to you normally

gentle moss
#

you've probably eaten loads of plastic and never even knew it

languid kelp
#

better than seeing stringy fibres of plastic in your dinner bowl

gentle moss
#

i'll take a little bit of plastic over half a caterpillar

narrow comet
#

@gentle moss wasn't able to get your roulette idea to work so I'm gonna call it dumb

gentle moss
#

i might've got the bash wrong

#

i was pretty sure i got it right

the thing about sarcasm on the internet is that it's not fucking obvious so you KIIIINNNDA have to try harder at it than you're doing

just have faith that I'm not an idiot
