"And in a daring move, Keanu Reeves has changed his name to Turd Fergison."
I mean there are some classics that are great
Super Colon Blow
Happy Fun Ball
Then there are some that they made movies about
And you just have to go "Why"
And then there are some of the movies that just KILLED
Blues Brothers 👌
Absolutely
Bob and Doug McKenzie/ Strange Brew
That one is a guilty pleasure of mine
Trying to think of some other heavy hitters
Three people (Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Ryan Gosling) share very different stories about their alien abduction.

"Pat" was certainly one of the ones that missed
this one cracks me the fuck up
Is that the one where "What do you do to unwind?" "Oh I take pictures"
nah, it's the one where ryan gosling and cecily have these really nice alien abduction experiences
Ohhh that's right
"i was gentle laid down in a meadow of beautiful flowers."
Wait, was The Church Lady an SNL thing originally?
"oh gee... i was dropped 12ft onto the roof of a Trader Joes with my coot coot and poop chute hanging out and my pants stuck in a pine tree. total porky piggin' it."
That's so magical
she just plays it so well
God, the department of labor's latest bulletin has their head so far up Trump's ass...
every department does at this point
Following President Donald J. Trump’s swift action to protect the American workforce from exposure to COVID-19...
i bet even the ones who hate him are just like "better do it this is too important to get fired" or w/e
“President Trump has made the safety, security, and health of the American people his top priority.
I mean these are just blatant lies
hah
yeah
isn't the latest thing that anyone who gets this shit, with insurance, will not have to pay co-payments
but will still have to pay the other lump or w/e
“From the beginning, this Administration has taken aggressive action in protecting the health and safety of the American workforce,” said Assistant Secretary for the Employment and Training Administration John Pallasch. “Clarifying the flexibility in which a person may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits during the coronavirus outbreak will ease financial burdens for those workers affected by the virus.”
I just can't handle this crap
He literally encouraged people to go to work and shrug it off
yerp
"PFFFF, it's not as bad as those sissy other countries are making it seem"
and 27 million americans have no insurance
one uninsured woman got a bill for like $35k for her treatment
"Land of the free to get squished under the thumb of the corporations"
it literally doesn't matter what trump says
i've learned to ignore a long time ago what the guy says
I don't disagree, but you'd hope that the other departments would stop giving him lip service constantly when trying to address a crisis like this
I dream big, what can I say
Wait, is that the right term?
Lip service?
I have no idea.
but it's not worth fighting a battle with the head of something when the real changes don't happen that way
just smile and wave boys
"Verbal expression of agreement or allegiance, unsupported by real conviction or action; hypocritical respect"
"real change"
yeah why not
True
he definitely has but even if you disagree with him
He got rid of the constant check for the Y2K bug
he'll still do whatever the fuck he wants
So I'll give him credit for that bit
oh sure, but that's no reason to not be concerned with the idiot
trump is the worst of the worst.
apparently he attaches electrodes to your balls if you look at him anywhere below the neck line
Mike Pence knows what he's doing
Which is terrifying
that's why he's scarier
Precisely
pre-slicely
I can't type worth a damn today
I'm having to correct something in everything I type
the united states is so crazy divided
these people are not even having the same discussion
Yep
yeaaaah boiii
And it's incredibly disheartening
i suspect it's quite similar to the UK
Except we have guns
it's not that people weren't divided this much before
it's just now all come to the surface
the starting point for anything is that people should be agreeing or disagreeing in the same place at the same time
Much more vocal now
@rough sapphire You're not wrong
It's a lot of people talking past each other
Too much blind allegiance
:<
and that's why i'd like to fire all the Tories into the sun
lol
and that's why this won't get better if we keep firing off sentiments like that
Eat the rich. Start with Priti Patel
pfft, i don't have blind allegiance
To be fair you did suggest popping a cap in Trump
okay i did
i've flipped across like 3 left wing parties
but the Tories are objectively absolute shits and should be shot into the sun
I try not to ally myself with anything
it was the first time i ever said it aloud and i've been thinking about it for like 2 years now or so
I may lean one way or another, but I won't sign up and wear anyones banner
the tory thing has been like a whole decade long hate binge
Scub?
from perry bible fellowship?
it was something like that yeah
they have this random thing called "scub" or something where people just beat each other over it. it's just pure non-sense
totally misread that
I'm pro-skub anyway
fuck you skub is shit
but at the same time you totally don't want to wear them because someone will think you're being racist or something
Tbf. Groups that are against something tend to do better than those that are for something
i have decided to install linux again
"the stated goal of the soviets is global communism" 😓
everything was going good and here i am trying to boot from usb
it booted but like a minute after it gives me a black screen and the fans are going hyperspeed
ok
We are kind of in the middle of a conversation
ok
you know what's annoying about having to do that bit @plucky ridge
it breaks the conversation
:D
Yes
Yes it does
Oh god that makes me think of some more of the glory kills in DOOM Eternal
do they break the conversation?
Grab a demon's arm, break it so the bone sticks out then jab said sticky outy arm bone into their eye
Like yes it's ultra violent but it's so absurd
It's hard to be too mad or judgey about it
It's not like some of the stuff where it just lingers on it
There were a couple that were kind of weak feeling in the 2016 one
only in comparison
Like they didn't feel like they had the right oomph
they felt pretty great at the time imo
No even at the time
I think it was ripping off a Pinky's horn and swiping across its neck
That one didn't feel very potent in the first
I mean it's a moot complaint, the game played smooth as butter and was a blast
But they made these new ones just so much tighter
Like I actually had to pause the game so I could laugh on some of them
It's literally like watching a gory Tom and Jerry cartoon
the "realistic" cartoon violence is stunning
i think we had this conversation a while ago that it'd be great to have some real world tom and jerry shit
like WWE but with classic cartoon gags
Yesssssssss
there's all these funny thonking emojis with uwu faces etc
the emojis are at the whims of the operators
biskthink and bisksquintzoom are gone now
replaced by lemons or something
i'm not bitter
he is.
But you have to admit, the lemon ones are great
They are
'e
And they were made by one of our staff

i was just observing that "they are." is a valid response to something
but "they're." feels wrong
True enough
mcdonald's is shutting up shop at 7pm today
so brits decided now would be the perfect time to get a mcdonald's and cause traffic chaos
here y'go bisk
This is the first time a mcdonalds within driving distance hasn't been open
what's driving distance?
~5 miles
like, at what point do you say something's walking distance
ah k
my nearest one is ~20 miles away
takes like 45 minutes to get there
I have a 24hr 2.6miles away, and a 7-11 one 1.4 miles away
I'm pretty sad that there's no way for me to stock up on cheap shit burgers they sell
Is it wrong to call right wingers uneducated/the least educated?
I mean, the post I was replying to was making broad generalizations about leftists
Also, pretending that right wingers aren't country bumpkins with outdated and racist views is just plain wrong. All of them? No. Most? Yes.
Hey
I'm trying to make a chat server sort of thing with flask and sockets
I'm just thinking about it
if I run the flask thing it's going to run on something like 127.0.0.1:5000 or something
So everytime I open that url/ip, won't it be the same client?
what do you mean?
I don't know how exactly to explain this
Basically, when I run a flask app, it says it's running on 127.0.0.1:5000, and when I open that in my browser, it shows me the site
yup, that's the localhost instance
you can define what IP's flask should listen to on run
With sockets, I just run multiple client.py and it creates a new client everytime
@gentle moss Yes, but the majority of voters are not rich. If only the rich voted for the right wingers, they wouldn't be in power.
i think you might have to look into the structure of your app more
Can I do something like, the server.py hosts a flask site, and every time someone comes on the site, it creates a client.py instance?
i don't see why that wouldn't be possible, but you'll need to have the whole thing running async
Hmm okay
well what about the people who think they'll become rich @lime gazelle ?
@gentle moss Are they rich?
nope, but one day the american dream will hit them and they'll elon musk emerald pockets out of poverty
Yeah
I'll admit, we've never been better at bullshitting people
Also I'm being called closed minded for calling out the core principles of right wingers. Whelp. Fuck me.
that's how they get you
that's how they get you
The problem with saying "core values" of a major demographic in is that a lot of people in that demographic will say those aren't their values
That's why I like my core values
my core values are "no step on snek"
haha
core values are a very subjective thing. everyone has lived their own experience.
I agree
But you can't deny right wing ideologies have three fundamental values to them:
bigotry, racism and fuck people, make money
the closer someone holds a value, the more negatively they're going to react if questioned on it. just consider abortion and you see exactly what that means
@gentle moss Are you arguing with me?
Because that's the exact thing the other person posted. Fuck.
hah, no. i'm talking about g-dude
"don't treat on me" with a snake flag is a southern USA thing for rednecks / people who think they should've won the civil war
Can I copy'n'paste the response here?
Cause it's like, word for word what you said, just with a lot more bullshit
(That's not their ideology at all)
Agreed
everything being made political is so exhausting
Everything is political
You can't have something without politics. Politics is everything that has to do with you.
a plant growing at the window doesn't care about politics
a dog doesn't care about politics
A plant isn't human, and if it had a conscience would
not everything is political, stop making it that way
"excuse me sir, that's not an approved plant for this neighbourhood. if you look at our handbook you'll quite clearly see the accepted list of plants"
"do you have planning permission for that massive oak tree that blocks the sun coming into my garden?"
I'm not saying we should have a bloodbath for politics in pydis
What I'm saying is, it's naive to ask for no politics. Because everything is political.
America isn't the world
people are addicted to partisan politics nowadays
pick a side and fuck you
that's basically the mantra
it irritates the fuck out of me too
because i have valid reasons for my politican opinions that can be substantiated heavily with facts and statistics
and now people just call me a lefty twat or w/e
there will be someone on the right with the same opinion as that, though
Well, if that makes you feel better, if they say that they likely don't have counter arguments
which is why this is annoying. it's endless
not sure there's someone on the right with my entire opinion set
because they'd probably not be a right winger
^
there will be someone backed up with facts interpreted a different way
and i dislike being branded left / right
Facts can't be interpreted
when i prefer evidence driven legislation and government politics rather than rhetoric or ideologically driven
Isn't the right winger motto "Facts don't care about your feelings"?
And they're the first to break it
Is it wrong to say that right wingers are just fash lite?
yeah, because you're generalising
you seem very angry Andrea
I am, and am not
i would be but i've been doing this far too long to be mad about it anymore
getting in a rage is just too much effort
Also is it generalizing if a high enough percentage of right wingers are literal neo nazis?
@gentle moss perpetual disappointment in the human condition
i still hold hope for that little silver lining where at some point we snap the fuck out of it and go "oh shit yeah we could be doing way better than this"
If you have neo nazis in your political ideology, then there's something very wrong with it
sigh
"right wing" isn't a political ideology
your statement is really flawed. it's being guilty by association.
It's almost as if supporting nazis makes you a nazi sympathizer..
I'm not saying all right wingers are.
you're using it to pivot your own agenda
But right wingers in general seem very accepting of them
Greg is a 48 year old accountant. Greg has a bit of money and wants to pay less tax. He also thinks the left might raise taxes and waste government money. Greg is a right winger.
Toby is a 24 year old skinhead who stomps on ethnic minorities. Toby is a right winger.
I'd say greg is a centrist
why does it matter what group they fall into?
so it's easier to hate them?
because only your group is right?
Fuck two party system
quite.
Take Italy as an example: right wingers are of a certain...kind.
politics is not
nazis - centrist - lenin worshippers
You have the CEO right winger, and that's human garbage but not human trash
UK has a multi-party system and even that's let down by how elections work
there is a whole load of middle ground people you're missing there
then you have literal neo nazis with casapound, forza nuova and FI
so, let's fuck the two party system, now the people you don't like have proportional representation. you can't escape the distasteful parts of society
Yeah, those are centrists
you call them centrists
Shouldn't i?
but if they believe in low taxation they'd have to vote right wing
Centrists here support lower taxation too
they're like, neither meat nor fish
lower taxes, but also UBI
left / centre / right, as neon says, are dumb
I mean, how else should we classify political ideologies?
classify if you want but stop stereotyping
I'm not
you absolutely are
Hm.
Idk, maybe I'm wrong
I feel a moral person wouldn't be like "oh yeah, this BoJo twat is absolutely right"
i mean fuck, my mum identifies with and votes right wing
despite being disabled and unemployed
I know plenty of good people that voted for Bojo
because maybe when her mum dies she'll pay less on inheritance tax
I don't agree with them at all, but they did
that doesn't stop them being decent people
there's your problem Andrea
go and think about that point
and about why it's so important for you
so, no idea what's going on or the topic of the conversation so far
self interest can outweigh someone's empathy
but there's something called cognitive dissonance.
humans are pretty good at that shiz
that might be the answer to your question for many people Andrea.
I'm just trying to understand why people would subscribe to an ideology with clearly not good principles for just a handful that benefit them
like, say, you vote for a racist twat because he makes you pay less taxes on TP, and you just happen to be a fan of TP
How can you overlook the racist part of the equation?
because people are fickle. people are not you. people are influenced.
no, not even that. even you can be fickle. just, you were able to connect the dots in this instance
your opinion won't even be the same in a few years as it is now
and people prioritize different things.
I hope it will be in the general ballpark
i think the evidence speaks to the contrary
wdym?
That's not very nice 😦
i'd happily continue it in dms, but not here.
It's alright, let's draw a line under the politic stuff now
in other news 😛
running out of drinking water, hope that i get some tomorrow somehow. wish me luck!
why not use the tap
where i live, tap water isn't fit for drinking
can you set fire to the water?
we can boil water and stuff if it comes to it though, yes
@primal spruce what exactly is wrong with it?
should hopefully be good enough
uh, it's hard water basically
wrong proportion of salts, bad kind
hm, not familiar with that name, once sec
oh yeah, those would work just fine
wish i had a water filter, we never had it. we get our supply from water bottles
used to use this exact model before they redid the pipes in the apartment building i lived, worked great
@primal spruce just curious, do you live somewhere in the states?
"non-drinkable tap water" sounds like it's not a thing in europe, but i might be wrong
yeah im not from the states
my water is crisp fresh and crystal clear
Whiskey in the veins? Hear, hear
For myself I do not fear/ but for others, the end draws near
I've got a need to nap
I made diet muffins
They're as mediocre as they sound
They don't really taste of much and yet, I can't stop eating them
Which is okay I guess since they have about the calories of air
The flower was cocaine
the flower?
Flour?
The flour was flower
Flower is the street name for black-market flour
and some said Flower had some special power
Or maybe some singer, spitting out lyrics for a duet
purple is another one
haha
hm, purple, like a skull? this ship has a hull. what's this range? orange? that's strange
you guys are free to try one of my sad muffins
double chocolate muffins that don't taste like chocolate
Weird Al Yankovic's interview with Eminem
@sand goblet They look really nice. What's in them?
they're pretty trash
hang on, one second
Back once again with another super low calorie alternative to our favourite sweet treats, Skinny Food Co have delivered us this Low Sugar Double Chocolate Muffin Mix! Each muffin comes in at 97kcals with 3.8g protein! High fibre, simple and fuss free, easy to use and whips up ...
well that's not from the skinny food co site but it'll do
Ah, they're from a packet. That explains why they look nice and taste bad
i don't see why you can't do this with flask's socketio, seeing as it has (optional) websockets support (ie "sockets in your browser")
Hmm I'll check it out
If you use an in-memory database, you could also use a simple json endpoint
Should be fast enough
have js query it all few seconds
only works for a low load, but it's fast and simple
👍
anyone here knows anything about photoshop?
just ask. Don't ask to ask (thats pretty much always good advice when you're looking for help)
yes, it costs money
I have no idea what you mean
My drawing (the black thing) on left side is clearly more to the top
in the export thing its in the center
Dude
Left side
Im talking on the green thing
Im not talking about the preview
Does photoshop not have an align tool for the layers?
make the layer smaller than the canvas and align it left or right
It looks to me like you're exporting a single shape
rather than a layer or something
this is how I want it exported
why though?
this is how its trying to export
Clear all the other layers then export everything
@thorn snow for my gui
or make a new image or somethign
@rough sapphire Why don't you move the image when drawing it?
(that answer only raises more questions)
But anyway, make the layer smaller than the canvas, align the layer and you should be good to go
that's how I'd do that in gimp
How?
The way I'd try and do it in PS is by making a layer the size of the canvas, then flattening your shape layer down into the bigger layer - and then exporting the result
I don't remember exactly - selecting the two layers and then doing something like right click --> flatten
Flatten means merging the layers into one picture
well I need the background transparent
nvm I just moved it in gui
still transparent
I get the feeling you're doing layout which should be done in code with images instead
which isn't going to end well
but I could be wrong
yeah
hangman?
next few weeks are going to be exciting, professionally
new data center is done, building-wise, now beginning to get the new network hardware in. Tomorrow the edge router, then switches etc.
lots of expensive kick-ass hardware 😄
What/who is the data centre for?
The company I work for does everything, from colocation to cloud, hosting, root, dedicated etc
I wish there was anywhere with affordable colo - but thats fair. Are you a big name?
or would you prefer not to say
Do you need to be physically there?
yes
Given that you have new hardware, I assume so
yeah - hm. Do you think that might get shut down?
I can't push the edge router into the rack remotely 😄
most of my department already does home office

@velvet rapids Did you need some help with something?
What's commands?
Aight
My apostrophes(') become (')
Whats the quickest way to replace all characters that change form and become something like this?
As in, what decode should I use?
how exactly did they get that way in the first place
depending on the situation, you might want to use a full html parser, or the html.unescape function @velvet rapids
I really want to know who on earth working in Plasma decided that you could use ALT to drag windows around, and so disabling the use of ALT drag in all software? Because blender and ue4 makes a big use of the ALT drag, and I can’t use it, and I don’t like this one bit, I have to go down the settings hole
OS binding alt seems dumb
lol it can be annoying (I had to change multi cursor shortcut in vscode) but alt left click to resize a window is really handy, you don't have to put your mouse right in the corner
I mean alt-right click
it is, but you want to use another key for that, super/meta4 is a good candidate
Deepin is so underrated
how bad is this?
Painfully bad
eh, i mean i could live with it. but i wouldn't choose to.
I can't even load facebook
I am not sure why, but everyday from 12pm to 9pm I have this speed
Fucking corona
Yup
hello
guys
i have a question
not really about python
but there are no servers i can ask this
basically im thinking of learning web development while learning python
which one should i go for
js first or html + css first
no
i know python
i want to start learning a secondary language
while still learning python
the CSS is just for styling. I would probably learn react.
no not like that
I'm not sure can you learn javascript + react at the same time
Webdev isnt exactly another language
i will either learn javascript aside python or learn html and css aside python
Like there is no point doing half of the work
yeah i guess so
html is hard tho
too many tags
- completely different style of coding
You can reasonably do React+JS at the same time
Although you do already need HTML/CSS for getting started with React
React is a framework for making web applications
modern javascript works on some framework or another. there are many of them and choosing one can be a headache. ergo, recommending react
React replaces the HTML side of things, and you generate/manage the DOM (the HTML elements as rendered in the browser) via Javascript instead
oh
That way you can update the page without a refresh
thats cool
It is complicated though, if you want to learn js first you could try vue
You don't really need any framework to begin with
yeah
if you were to use a framework, use vue
It depends exactly what your goal is
Any nicer way to do if (dev and package.is_dev) or (not dev and not package.is_dev)
So if user wants to remove development packages, it only works if the package is a development package
if both are bools, dev == package.is_dev
Doesn't tell you which is which, though
I was thinking that but something doesn't seem right in it
hm
Guess that's right
Sounded too easy to be true :p
And I guess it doesn't matter whether it's yes or no for both so long as they're equal
Okay, I see it now
That was a weird one to think about
I blame the weather, my wife being pukey, and lack of caffeine in my brain
Yeah it's not overly complex
You wont be saying that when you cant figure out how to move a button 5px to the left for 3 hours
Just takes a little getting used to
You might also look into Sass
I think that's the common one....
Is Sass that relevant any more? Variables was the main thing it added, and they're in CSS by default now
I can never remember
Sass and Less are the two big preprocessors - one is apparently better than the other, but I forget which way
Sass is the one that's seen as better, that I do remember
I really should try to futz around with HTML/CSS and JS again...
God, there's too much I want to do/need to learn..
With JS/HTML/CSS more than anything else with programming - I really get a sense of getting shit done
not even sure if its true
the new CSS is actually really nice if you are willing to forgo IE
Trust me, I am
I assume there's babel or something that can mostly package CSS up for IE
I will forsake the SHIT out of it
@undone berry Well it's mainly because you can see your work so quickly
It's just there
Yeah, definitely. I'm not saying im actually any more productive, just psychologically it feels that way
which is nice
Sometimes we just need that
it was a feeling that writing plugins gave too
Being able to go from a wireframe in draw.io to a semi functional mockup in an hour is pretty goddamn fun
Plugins for which?
used to write crap for Adobe and it was nice to knock out a plugin and see it function in a few hours or a day, as opposed to working weeks or months on something without seeing an end
16 Bit thunked plugins for Adobe Acrobat reader 🙂
an I dating myself?
we had to use the 1.5.2 version of MS QucikC because it was the last compiler that still handled 16 bit back then
I don't know what any of that even means
I can get compiler, the rest is just words
But Adobe can rot in 4377 and skcid fo gab a tae!
Hehe doesn't matter much, those are days long passed. Back when Windows was still just a shell on top of Dos 3.3, 4 or 5
I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I have a certain visceral antipathy towards Adobe.
You're not alone in that, I think
I worked for a company that was 17% owned by them.
We wrote stuff and got "special" techsupport.
I hate Adobe
so much
everything I do that tangentially involves them
causes problem
They would never make technical changes for us, to make our products work, but we were always escalated to top level engineers.
I mainly just hate that they dictate a standard (PDF) and then don't follow it precisely so that you have to buy their products.
We wrote the plugin that allowed fillable fields in PDF
Oh kick ass
then sold $1million worth of it to Disney
And for that we thank you
Adobe came in right behind us and said, "You don't need that, it is a free new feature of 3.0. Here have a copy!"
3 engineers 6 months right down the 54!773r
PDF standard is pretty open, the putty book has been around for ever... It is just a superset of postscript assembled upsidedown with the catalog at the bottom 🙂
Just seems like they did things a bit dirty.
You want fun with PDF. back when the WWW started getting off the ground, they were pushing people to use PDF instead of HTML... if it had worked out, you would have a nice closed web from which you would not be able to DOM or Scrape or even learn code from ...
every time I think of them I just want to spit
my fun with pdf was writing something that time/date stamped a shit load of PDF's from random sources and then printed them
i did not expect there to be so many ways a PDF can break
They break in lovely ways... I got to "repage" PDF's so that you could go to pages as they are marked. So if you had roman numeral pages and Chap pages and so forth, you could go to page iv if you wanted
one of the big contracts we worked on was for the DPS (defense printing service) because the government mandated that all manuals and such be available electronically.
fun fun fun
yep, well I have been long gone from them and that company as well.
that said... Source Code Pro is a pretty damn nice font 🙂
It's not bad, but I want ligatures
what are you coding in that uses ligatures?
Python
I kind of meant language not coding language... so what do you use Fira Code, Monoid, or Hasklig?
I'm using Fira Code at the moment
I don't think I even remember the keys to type any of them in, although when I use Emacs to do lisp typing in the word lambda changes into a :lambda: which is kind of cute, though I know not the same thing
odd.. not sure why that didn't render
Nah, that's not what I mean by ligatures
I guess they can be prettier. I can see the attraction, but not really my thing.
That's fair, you're not alone in that sentiment
I am just happy to be able to tell the difference between 0, O as well as 1 and I and l and have the bigger , and . and things like that.. But ligs can be fun too
Yeah, most programming fonts have stuff for that as well
There is an Emacs thing that changes things like that in your source code probably using utf8 characters, the only one I see enabled are the :lambda: character for lambdas
As often as I mistype/misspell it it is quite useful so when i see lamda instead of the greek letter I know I missed a letter
No, I am in a web browser (Chromium)
Ah okay
people do use Emacs for discord, but that is by using BitBee and IRC
I am still more of a Vim guy, but I like Emacs when I do Lisp
I have never seen discord accessed through IRC, but I assume it is all doable.
Bitlbee supports it, yeah
what TOS?
that you can't use IRC to access Discord?
no third party clients
I was not aware that IRC counted as a client. I just figured there was an interface for doing it
You CAN however route the traffic through a bot
Although it's a messy process
I've only seen it in like 2 servers
I'm not sure if that's specifically against ToS or not
Since it does still go through their proper channels
Ah, gotcha
the best way to do it is to use RPC
you still need to run the client but at least you can make use of it from another tool
RPC?
This guy https://github.com/creesch/discordIRCd has had his thing out for long time at least 3 years, haven't tried it but it is something
Racoons, Pandas and Chipmunks?
yeah, the Discord client exposes a local websocket which acts very similarly to the real gateway
remote procedure call
you can use it to control your client
I like mine better
well I am not that heavy an Emacs user to even go through the trouble.
if you've ever installed, eg, the logitech gaming software, discord is like "Hey, this thing wants to use your Discord client"
that's RPC
I really wish they'd allow either third party clients or give some wiggle room for client modification
me too
Remote Procedure Calls?
mostly for accessibility
Exactly
Remote Process Communication
I've lost count of the number of people looking for accessibility options that end up using client mods
MSN messenger wasn't this locked down
Was that the browser one?
No no, the MSN Messenger app supported plugins
which is something almost nobody knew
but these guys did
Oh no, that passed me by
so you could install it and do stuff like send sound bites to people
I used to love messenger
msn plus was pretty nifty
I used Trillian for a long time
Since I had multiple accounts across multiple platforms
Oh wow I remmber trillian, and what was the one with the flower
ICQ
yes.. I think I actually had a 6 digit id on that one
You did
trillian was great for getting ICQ, MSN and some of the XMPP servers i was on
No, wait... I had a 3 character email id on Earthlink
Everyone was identified by digits, which meant there were no username/display name conflicts
ICQ was ahead of its time on that
6 digit is pretty damn low for a digit count though
the thing designed for local device communication?
It may have been more
for like IoT devices
But you get the point
no i mean the length was when you signed up
I never used it, that was more my brother
it's like a light messaging protocol for devices
Ah I gotcha
well it turns out Facebook for some reason uses it for Messenger
and nobody can figure out why
MQTT?
i thought fb messenger was xmpp
it used to be
I was signed up early to mid 1990's
is that why it's shit now?
I mean, probably
I was in my single digits back in the 90's
I think they did it to stop people writing bots
Most of what I know I learned after or through my brother
although there are plenty of projects that still work on them
It's so weird... feels like I'm not actually me when I think about it that way
I remember when the internet... wasn't the WWW
we used to use send or tell to "bounce the echoes" on twilight zone and that was the beginning of chat rooms
I wish I was more able to participate in those days
you needed a thick skin
I remember getting dialup in London and playing whizzball on discovery kids because there was nothing else to do
Well, I also needed to not be in elementary school
the answer to just about any technical question was RTFM
True, I likely wouldn't have survived it
people are so handheld and spoonfed today it is hillarious how severe it used to be
That is something. The programming community is so much more accessible now
You know, I'm fine with the so called "spoon feeding"
If you knew how to do something it meant you did a damn aweful lot of personal research,, and tried and failed lots of stuff before anyone would even consider helping
If it means people get the leg up they need to get into it and start understanding it, I don't see an issue
Yeah I just can't get on board with that mentality
I am not saying it was better or worse just saying lots of people who program today would not have then
it still exists some places
Like if I was my current age back then
But I can likely attribute that to the depression and not being able to handle stress like that
Remind me to tell you about Mr Lizard and dancing for pizza some day 🙂
I think it is great that help and information is so much easier to get at today. But I would still like to see certain people actually put in a little more effort finding some of the more obvious answers themselves before just posting their assignment and saying "I don't get it"
Oh hey
Hmm, there was just a code jam on the REPL.it discord. When the theme came out to Covid-19 I dropped out. I just want to focus a little less on it, and that seemed a bit much. Not sure if this would be "entertaining"
I didn't play the game anyway, so I doubt I'll play this either
but it's a nice new dynamic on it
it is a bunch of quarantined people who are looking for an idea 🙂
I do like that it donates but other than that, meh.
Yeah - its kinda interesting. I wonder if a better theme for a codejam type thing right now is covid-19 or anything-but-covid-19
I was disappointed especially after the one we did here went so craptastically for me, hoping to have something else for fun. But se la vie
Even weirder was they said if you make fun of it, you automatically lose.
Why does pypi have to be so messed up
how messed up would you like it to be?
If something was recently made 90% of the api spec is missing
And theres no documentation for it
if len(resp_json["urls"]) == 0:
raise ExceptionVersionError(
f"Package {self} has been created too recently for pypi to compute!"
)```Have to do stuff like this
is that PyPi's fault? sounds like a bad maintainer or developer
It's pypis fault, all of this stuff is handled by pypi
seems pretty ob if your response is empty you can't work with it, no?
?
You say that like PyPi is a person..
That is what the English language is, yes
eh
"The PyPi system"
I'm still confused how it's to blame, though
Like what are you trying to do that's causing the issue?
i think he's trying to do something with a package that's been created too recently for PyPi to process his request.
Well did
thank you, thank you.
👏
Doesn't sound like a fault of PyPi, though
it sounds like the package was created too recently and it can't compute
I'm guessing it updates the list in batches?
After 10 mins it's now make the release hashes but not updated the shortcut to the latest release
Or something, who knows
10 minutes?
did you tweet at @rough sapphire on twitter?
lol
7
wait a bit maybe
This isn't my package fyi, just some random package I was using to stress-test my locking mechanism
whos package is it?
or perhaps you should choose a different more mature package
Whoevers that is
Could put in an issue ticket
It's called testing @dense stratus

So pypi decieded to delete half of the schema whilst it updated
Rather than replacing, nice
lawyers don't ask questions on the stand that they don't already know the answer to. I take a similar approach in testing.
Glitches happen
lawyers don't ask questions on the stand that they don't already know the answer to. Is that true?
So many inconstancies with pypi though :(
That sounds like the opposite of true
🤔
It's partially true
sounds like they only ask questions theyy can be fairly sure of
@gusty raft It's definitely true.
Yeah, they are presenting a case, there is no reason to "discover" something new on the stand. That is for the movies
Yeah, my brain just ignored half the words
Most they find before court but probably sometimes they ask questions they are faily confident in
not exactly operating at full capacity
"Yeah so your honor, I have NO idea what's going on, so I'm just going to be asking this bloke lots of questions. Bear with me"
The only unknown is whether the subject of questioning will admit to the truth or not.
or purger himself
An Inspector Calls?
Yeash
The one where they all cheat on eachother
We've watched that play 3 or 4 times and read the book 3 times
who is we?
Our class
Are you doing it for GCSE?
Yep
Just for kicks
just trying to suggest don't test random cruft you have no control over. And if you have no published API then open the source, and have a look, and figure out what the existing code is doing. That's 90% of the work at most jobs in software
Do you know what a glitch is
I know I've heard "cruft" from somewhere but I can't place it
Maybe
cruft: when a bunch of dogs come together to do tricks
it is a term that has been used in the computer industry since the MIT model rr club days 🙂
Do tricks or turn tricks
depends how much you pay
Fair
🤔
Cruft is a jargon word for anything that is left over, redundant and getting in the way. It is used particularly for defective, superseded, useless, superfluous, or dysfunctional elements in computer software.
I would normally use the term chazerai but I like a little yiddish :)\
shite. i think i'd call it shite.
If you can't say anything nice, say it in Yiddish!
Bisks dictionary
chutzpa is one of my faves
did you make that word up?
I try not to swear here, at least not in plain text, or forwards or whatever
Its said differently, you've probably heard it said but not written down
hhhhhhhhutzpa
now wipe off your screen
:D
Okay, dumb question time
Do any of you have a good suggestable HTML/CSS guide/learning resource?
cocksock?
Wanting to shake the rust off
Lol
w3schools
W3c
is pretty good
htmldog
Is it?
Yeah, it is
I always thought it was like
it used to be trash
It apparently used to be terrible
Yeah
they fixed most of the problems
the standard works too 🙂
Okay, that works for me then
it's all you need, really
really what you want is MDN
and it's not overly verbose
tutor4u is quite nice if you want video, not sure how up to date though
I just remember all the previous crap it was
