Most other OSes don't have Docks.
"Docks"

I shouldn't be like this.
My apologies.
at least you did the right thing and made it reserve the space
although your window buttons are still on the left
Not THAT is a laptop.
Still trying to figure out what "thin client" means
very weak pc used to log in to a remote environment.
Thin laptop? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ah thank you
Yeah
Yeah this thing is a beast, gets pretty spicy under load though
Yeah, the colour backlit keyboard gave away that it's a gamer-targetted machine
desktop gang
I'd like a laptop but I'll always main a desktop
desktop + a good phone is best combo
I've only had a laptop for about 5 years since I couldn't afford both.
Same here.
That's why my desktop has 3 monitors and the MacBook is used solely as a development machine.
I never used by tower after I got this
I need three for dev too
Also, notice the distinction:
my desktop vs the MacBook.
Just set up a docking station for the desktop experience
Renting a machine seems like a bad idea
Was a jokel
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079H4WTR4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share this thing is badass
@oak tangle Wait are they buyable?
I made a poll to see if coders think programming is inhernetly political or not. It's just a single multiple choice question, mind taking a sec and filling it out?
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Xd33Wmeld5BuETRGTm-spruqrBObvS2pPE6OrZ_DU5U
What a weird question
I voted
Coding is just the act of giving instructions to a computer. Nothing inherently political about coding
Writing hello world isnt political lol

I said it's not inherently political and then proceeded to bully enki
this is what you get if you ask discord 😄
@wet steppe >justifying your actions by blaming "Discord" which is a platform not even an entity
and a platform
I doubt Apex here is talking about the company
because you didn't ask the company
plz do not be mean in the responses uwu
who was mean
was he
yeah
the responses were anonymous
just a tad
how do you know which one was from me
there are two responses, how do you think?
XD
mind if i quote it here?
ok
"Because why the hell would it be political? This question makes no sense to me."
followed immediately with a discord message saying almost the same thing lmao
that was me lmao
I'm the other one
Enki messes up live
the only other response was "every action is political" followed by lyricly saying the same thing here lmao
tfw yall troll me
and LyricLy gottem again
"I said it's not inherently political and proceeded to bully enki"
and you thought it was Apex

yeah
WAIT
IM A DUMBASS
i was really mindfucked for a sec here
oh my god i cant fucking read
make anonymous poll
call someone out for their response
get the responses mixed up cos the poll was anonymous
...
profit?
its okay 😃
i was like
really fucking confused lmao
honestly, i'm more interested in the "why/why not" part
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
not sure if i should post my opinion or not, dun wanna be partial to one answer
if you have an opinion, not stating it isn't gonna delete it
I'm in MC right now anyway https://i.imgur.com/h3iS1yi.png
@narrow comet yeah but i don't wanna influence anything ¯_(ツ)_/¯
what the fuck is this article?
http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/linux-mint-172-codenamed-a-religious-name-rafaela/
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...
An archangel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
An Italian master painter and architect in the High Renaissance
A Spanish tennis player
A Ninja Turtle
```lol
that deteriorated quickly :D
lol
where is history in firefox?"
cntrl+h
whats cntrl
oh yeah that works
it always has
"you're just playing it wrong" lmao
fucking bethesda's e3 was terrible
its getting a battle royale though
so
battle royale best
thats like just adding an extra arm to someone with severe cuts and burns all over their body
yea
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
I mean
minecraft without mods is pretty bad too
4 also reintroduces The Mechanist from 3 too
no NPCs
you will die in 0:05
@half spoke There's NPCs, technically.
are there?
It's just all the story is on computer terminals.
i thought "no NPCs" was a selling point
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
The servers are horrible, you don't have enough C.A.M.P space/inventory space, the bobbleheads/magazine upgrades are temporary
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
i dont remember that
Yeah
but i also dissociated the entire time i played that game so who knows lmao
oops spoiler
Are you talking about 76?
3
I think you're mixing up 3 and New Vegas
Sec, gotta enable DMs
aight
Go for it
😄
Yeah, thought of something else
let it be known that i was correct :P
^
^
im always right
ALWAYS
except every time i wasnt
please do not make a montage of me being wrong
too late
noooooooo
Creates a 14 hour montage of @half spoke being wrong

when you fuck up the meta that badly
tfw you put the keywords in the description tag
THATS WHAT THATS FROM?
Yeah LOL
@hasty stream yes, you can buy them in our redbubble store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/PythonDiscord/shop
RIP 30$ is too much for me lol
Cheaper than most shirts I've seen :P
here i can get 2 t-shirts for 10$
I'll try to buy REEEE
Is there also an Hoodie available?
30 bucks? should only be 15 for the cheapest one.
and yes I do believe there is a hoodie.
sorry we dont control the price :/
if lemon eats a lemon, is that cannibalism or survival of the fittest?
it's a lemon-eat-lemon world
That broke my brain
if a lemon has to eat a lemon i think that's a citruious situation
but.. is it a renewable source of electricity...
I feel like I only barely covered this game yesterday, but yet I have 14 achieves already
@sand goblet go back to your nap
I was asking myself why lemon had an anime pfp, then I saw the roles
its an imposter huh
Yeah them stupid imposters
:)
October is best month
oktober fest
which distro u guys using ?
manjaro
manjaro, arch and raspbian
Arch
I mean I'm currently on windows but I use manjaro when I actually do any work
and Raspbian
manjaro look good
my desktop at home is Windows
TempleOS
I only switched to Arch on this trip
oh no
anyone know how to mass transfer dotfiles?
cp
git
mass
yeah, git
I use yadm to manage it
Debian
at least it's not ubuntu
Thinking in go to fedora
Ubuntu: Ancient African world meaning "Can't install Debian"
or go back to arch
there are quite a few dotfile managers, how they manage them differs though
scp
is there any distro specially known for customization ?
gentoo
Ubuntu is crap, I have never used Ubuntu without a swathe of awful issues
Arch is easy
good luck though
secure contain protect your dotfiles.
i have installed debian because one AUR have broke, but the problem is in the debian too
XMind-zen
I just copy my dotfiles to my Documents folder before reinstalling tbh
to make mind maps
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
You'd be insane not to.
yeah, systemd is awesome, but there's always one
Having all these folders on a seperate partition was a life changer.
Afap?
asap
I wouldnt' want my laptop and desktop have the exact same configs tbh.
same
same
I use the same config files, what gets used depends on the hostname
easier to manage
which manjaro should i use ?
kde
when I said exact same I meant exact same
the one you like
like when I open a program on one it opens on the other
kde looks good
kde/plasma is probably the most user friendly
kde
plasma ?
I have experienced true 100% workflow
any chance of destiny today?
today is a good day because it'll force you to use EU
:P
Today might be a good day.
whats up with the incognito
What do you mean
he doesn't want people to know he's been learning django
That's a dark theme
dark
Oh wait only one
yes
I just saw the laptop screen
No, that's Incognito.
Don't want my work history to be cluttered with webdev job ads.
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
varies from person to person
What's the most vulgar possible action/sentance
misspelling/mispronouncing their name repeatedly would probably do the trick. though, not vulgar... 😉
haha
I like your laugh, tisk
I like your laugh, tisk
I like your laugh, tisk
hey y'all
would anyone like to talk about my lord and savior buffy the vampire slayer?
No
:/
:P
there's a reboot/continuation coming soon and I'm hyped af
Oh hey you gottem
Where are you sticking them?
I very grossly underestimated the size of those stickers
And, Gdude, for as smart as you might be, wrong
Ogod
Those are all going onto the MacBook.
Yes, you may.
\o/
The game?
yep
The one that was free?
I lost it there
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" "battlenet://DST2/"
if it's less than 3 then I can start having extra
it's less than 3
I meant over 3

Hello am a new user of discord can anyone welcome me
welcome @barren schooner
Thank you @grim pelican
How goes it @barren schooner ?
does that answer your question?
No
Pretty well
its a curvy turn, and arrows pointing in 4 directions
You guys often active here?
Sometimes, sure
Anyone knows the sinx = x joke on engineers?
I'd be surprised if someone didn't
i dont
Be surprised robotboi
Can't use surprise as a reaction because it has 2 rs...
:someonesaidrust: 👀

I love that thing!
might have to learn rust soon

to see whats so good about it
whats good about rust
the huge degree of safety it provides at compile time combined with the close to zero runtime overhead it requires
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
typeclasses!!!!!!
dont know anything you guys are talking about
typeclasses can be used to enforce a certain program flow at compile time
for example
r/vaguecomputerscienceknowledge 
Type classes are interfaces on steroids
@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
Easier would be to get a water pistol and put a servo on the trigger or something probably. Squeezing a water bottle sounds hard
maybe you could pump air into a (bad literal translation) manchette around the bottle somehow
if you really want a water bottle
manchette?
the hell
I SAID BAD LITERAL TRANSLATION
is a manchette
oh
which gets put on your arm
ye ye
how do you squeeze a squirty bottle with a motor
using a cam
i mean the physical process
how do you use your motor to squirt the bottle
not how do you trigger it
peristaltic pump...much easier. 😉
🤔
@proper dune sorry about my ignorance about components, are servos motors that basically make a squeeze motion or something?
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
don't servos rotate
heck
they rotate but only slightly
sort of like your arms, but only less fleshy
bisk thats no better than a water pistol is it
cam + motor
oh, you set a servo to an angle and it goes there
yes
well a water pistol shoots a jet
basically the same thing grumble grubmle pedantry
a spray bottle would spray like a mist
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
10 minutes later import error looses an eye due to a cup
peristaltic. pump.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWsUcd3n3D0
unless, this is like an amazon build. then yeah, water gun + servo. 😄
oh sommersoft is here
always. watching. 👀
The future is now, thanks to SCIENCE!!! Never eat soggy cereal again with the amazing milk injecting cereal spoon. -CHECK OUT- Physics Girl: https://goo.gl/C...
i only know about those from here
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?
i like the idea of a rotating cam rather than a servo?
idk, could fire faster
squirt squirt squirt
@gentle moss you sleep with your eyes open? you sad sad man
@tired osprey would i need two servos to trigger the pistol?
mug on the eye wouldn't be much better but still
i dont see a reason for that
@tired osprey 🤔 is the UART REPL a RAW REPL only?
im just flashing firmware I built and wiring up my pins @pine vector ¯_(ツ)_/¯
nah it totally would blind you
okay okay just make it gently tip the mug instead
no dropping
raw REPL is for "machine to machine" and relies on ctrl+D (VT100 EOT code)
ooh no no go back to a single thin jet
so i just stick a stick on the servo and make it move at an angle to trigger the pistol somehow?
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
better yet
@robust sierra if you wanna be realistic ya
make it laminar flow
Ok
and hook up a car battery
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
that's enough bisk
¬_¬
to be fair i don't think it'd need to be laminar flow to carry a car battery voltage across it
genius
go to sleep with a wire in your mouth
ez
or that
you can also do that
not as fun tho
@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...
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?
@gentle moss wait, cut the middleman
haha
the hardest part is buying the pistol
^
I see
and then the line which is a thing sticked to the servo
then it turn
and then it pulls back the little thing which is the trigger
and it push trigger
and thus pushes it back
pull trigger
thanks @proper dune @tired osprey
@pine vector stupid question but....how do i communicate with a raw repl?
@narrow comet its called "being german"
a raw REPL?
read the convo in the convo between me and him lyriclie
Why would servo be over engineered? It's literally just pushing a trigger
it's literally a servo
can't get less overengineered really
it's one servo connected to a trigger
what even is a cam
bisk wants a DC brush motor which continues turning releasing and pulling the trigger again and again for rapid fire
@narrow comet CAMERA
i drew it
@tired osprey this explains it better than i could probably, even though i've been using it lately on a project. :D
http://docs.micropython.org/en/v1.8.6/pyboard/reference/repl.html#raw-mode
does it stop when the person mvoes or something
maybe it's because i've been watching too much antique tool restorations
cams are fucking cool
wait what kind of idealised water guns are we working with here?
they need to be pressurized manually
cams do rock. useful all sorts of ways.
would you do that before bed
@pine vector and this thing runs on the Hardware UART REPL by default if i compile without any options except of my board?
@tired osprey let me look. i may have some fuzzy memory going on.
violently rubbing a phallic object up and down before bed is not my idea of a good time
wdym no pre pressurize
how
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
oh you're still on squirt bottles
so you'd get more leverage to pull the trigger
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
so you'd need to suspend a vat of liquid over your head and create a moving part which doesn't leak
yes
exactly
when the heavy vat of liquid falls down you simply don't ever wake up
which is a small bug
either that or you have an imperfect seal and keep waking up
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
they give redstone flux
@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)
I want to make a programming language
I shall implament one in python
Then rewrite in C
Or Rust
there's always crafting interpreters
might look into lex/flex and yacc/bison for C, and their ply port in Python
I feel like I want to do it myself
But I also feel it'll be too complicated first try
eh, lex/yacc is still low level and complex enough
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
meh
meh
basically I stumbled upon a.sort(key = a.count) on net and was intrigued but then I realized it's just undefined behaviour
@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
@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
hi
o/ Hello
does anyone know of any discord server related to technical help (like superuser on stackexchange)
no not really
why not
5G in london is lit
what would be good is greater investment in the roll out of pure fibre across the more rural areas of the country
my house gets 250mb/s over 5g
rather than pumping money into areas that already have shit loads of infrastructure
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
hey its bisk
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
👌
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
Well we know that
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!"
this is less about politics and more about like
wow bisk i was hoping this wasn't really about politics
I mean the pirating market will just get bigger
the reasons the UK has regressed in terms of technology
i just wanted to chime in and say what i said
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
Also why has there never been just a normal dude that just went along for election and said everything honestly 🤔
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
small b is bit
👍 I always forget what is what
oh wow
an MP choke slammed a protestor at a private dinner
he didn't even throw a milkshake first
the MP.
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
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.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooklahoma

Doing flask-ask for school
:(
It's all complicated and amazony
Basic example: https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask/blob/master/samples/helloworld/helloworld.py
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.
Awh
it's all relative
Relative to your mother burnt
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
yes
windirstat maybe?
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
low memory
16gb of ram
he must've also been running chrome
only
hahah
Definitely depends on what you do. I've seen 512MB be plenty.
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.
Yes.
windirstat
which has something similar on macos
2019 and i have to download things to be able to see things i want
i guess i like it alright so far
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
You still haven't said what it is you want.
a better file explorer
Better in which way?
well for one thing, i want this feature
.... Which is?
in 2019 you don't want less than 16GB
@wet steppe why?
cos stuff uses a lot of ram
@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
Visual Studio, Intellij and Photoshop will easily use a ton of ram
@wet steppe 16GB of RAM?
XD
@narrow comet Your argument kind of disintegrated really quickly.
what argument
Going from I've never had RAM issues to visual studio is for losers - welp.. lost me there.
lol
lmao
RAM isn't useful for anybody
because I personally don't use apps that use a lot of RAM, thank you very much
👏
Photoshop can use a fuckload
someone on reddit had a screenshot
of Photoshop using 50GB ram
garbage collected
that's a little bit too much RAM
hahaha does it store the entire image in RAM or something
...wait
i can make anything use a shitload of RAM if it's storing a shit load of things
and yes
oh god
SSD for non-losers that want their file access to be non-slow
we had a customer who designed banners for sporting events
they were processing a gigapixel image
you know, the banners that go around THE ENTIRE STADIUM
ye
uh-oh
one of their banner files was like fucking 100GB
AAAARGH
straight
what about vector graphics
thats very much less than a gigapixel i imagine
its fine i can put single files into a directory
i don't know. maybe there is a use case for 90% swap partition
i don't know enough about it
there is no use case for 90% of your disk being used as RAM
Whos dinoman 
if it's not funny we're not gonna see a joke
🔥
After Effects maybe
@gentle moss so you would assume that I actually use 90% of my disk for swap
on Adobe Forum there are After Effects guys with 512GB ram for it
its LyricLy so yeah I would assume that
ffs
how insulting
how did plastic get into my food
i burnt the bottom of the container on the stove top
i saw something dumb
I though tyou said "how did plastic get into my head"
but that was the bottom
and that you were gonna die
@gentle moss my jokes are funny
it's everyone else's fault for not getting them
I wasn't rly insulting you
it just sounds like something you would do

at least do it russian roullette style
suicide linux?
no
Star Citizen used 24GB ram apparently LMAO
[ $[ $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
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
could probably make it fancier and like
@gentle moss that's so awesome I'm doing it
using environment variable as a counter
if you manage to "roulette" away your boot stuff then there’s that
no you should be able to run it from a term
duh
well zsh is not being very nice to me about executing this
i do it on temporary VM's
that i've only built to test stuff
fun way to scrap them
do it in prod
never.
I'm doing it on my own system
gonna rewrite it tho
doesn't seem to work like this
omg
just alias like
guys i may have ingested plastic
sl
how bad is that to do
okay thanks
you can ingest small amounts of most things that wouldn't be harmful to you normally
you've probably eaten loads of plastic and never even knew it
better than seeing stringy fibres of plastic in your dinner bowl
i'll take a little bit of plastic over half a caterpillar
@gentle moss wasn't able to get your roulette idea to work so I'm gonna call it dumb
Lyric has a lotta ego
@vestal briar ego?
those previous things were on purpose
if you can't understand that then leave /s
No spam please
I didn't spam
did you just get muted proving a point
Yes
lol
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
... for you.
theoretically if you adopt my exact mindset then no
so you're just not doing it properly
will we be able to print body parts in 50 years?
what's life extension looking like
sure
do you think people being born now will live to 150
@languid kelp nope
:3
@gentle moss well idk man in both zsh and bash they were super unhappy
I didn't try sh
that's bash
did you forget a sudo in there
not sh
