@rough sapphire that's when you ask me

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

our grocery store is out of Nutella rn. kiddo is unhappy... 😄

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

Moon Safari by Air

chilly gorge Jun 9, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

it was portagal

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

@pine vector time to learn how to DIY Nutella

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

I know, it was a dumb joke

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

@gentle moss what do you think of pocket symphony?

#

You just need some fat, preferably food grade, cocoa, haselnut aroma and an emulgator

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

i'm not even sure if i could find some hazlenuss! would be easier to just order some Nutella. hehe

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

Don't forget to add tons of sugar

#

@pine vector Usually it's stocked in the baking section

#

I wouldn't get actual nuts, just aroma

#

Otherwise it's going to be a bit crunchy

#

But that can be a nice thing, but it would be different from normal nutella

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

Depends

#

If you have a coffee grinder and you make it incredibly fine..

#

Or a mortar and pestle

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

I wonder how they get the hazlenut into the Nutella in the first place

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

Powdered

lofty dirge Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

Let's take bets if all enterprise tools at company are working today

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

@plucky ridge Your coffee is going to taste of hazlenut!

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

tbh i quite enjoy Air's albums

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

@rough sapphire Which is the best

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

to be fair I don't know all that many people that use a coffee grinder to grind coffee

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

Hazelnut coffee is friggin' amazing.

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

@sand goblet I do, but I used to go by the nickname KaffeeJunky

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

I do

#

My brother does as well

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Which is supposed to mean CoffeeAddict

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Most people over here don't bother

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Freshly ground is the only way!

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

I mean it's not like everyone drinks instant here either, but

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

It really just depends on how much you like coffee as opposed to just need it for the caffeine

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Everyone who doesn't do that is a coffee heretic!

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

We use a pod centrifuge, haha

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

i've entered the Kuerig realm. too much work in the states to get coffee that's worth it.

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

pods, the most wasteful thing invented

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

So bad for the environment

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Hope not the aluminum ones

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

ours recyle!

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Oh well, that makes it slightly better

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

it's a specialised recycling service provided by the coffee company

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

they give you a bag and then they pick them up when you get your next delivery

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

at my old job they had a coffee machine subscription

#

i had to buy the beans from aldi though

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

I'd be okay with that

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

it was really good coffee

#

and the water in the area was really soft

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Honestly, the best coffee brand I've ever had has been Eight o' Clock

#

Specifically the Dark Espresso Roast

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

long life weird flavour stuff

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

GOD that stuff is smooth

#

I've never had a dark roast that didn't feel like it was kicking you in the teeth, but this..

#

It's just pure flavor, none of the harshness

#

Huh.

#

ReasonML looks rather interesting

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

@gentle moss so Air is alright, but it's not clicking with me today :<

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

And it might scratch my FP itch

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 2:10 PM

what kind of thing are you after?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 2:10 PM

Hem, you should give this stuff a try: https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

i guess not heavy, i listened to gojira earlier and wasn't feeling it

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

I keep hearing about it but I question if it's GOOD or if it's just hype

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

oh wait. you get jitters, right?

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

I do

#

But typically only with my meds

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

it is good. sommersoft approved at least. it super caffeinated, so...

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqYCwK4BZK0 - Blackmill maybe?

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

Yeah I'd probably avoid it, personally

#

I'm trying to limit caffeine intake anyhow

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

then yeah, forget i was here.

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 2:12 PM

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

i was actually about to start throwing out vocal trance

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

i don't think i've heard this song in ages

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

the later vocal trances ended up getting housey anyway

#

the tiesto remix (i think) is a pretty good one

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 2:20 PM

nothing wrong with house though

gentle moss Jun 9, 2020, 2:20 PM

Calling otu Tucker Carlson for his racism on Fox

and sayign that White Supremacy is a hoax

#

What the actual fuck Facebook

#

Do you SUPPORT racism?

#

📎 unknown.png

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Well, the issue is probably that it contains symbols of certain organisations

#

this stuff is automated

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

And it contains a signature, and is a political cartoon

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

Also, some people might miss the message

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

If they miss the message on my PRIVATE 60 friend page

#

I only post to friends

#

who are IRL friends

#

and mostly I exclusively post political stuff liek this

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

They still autoban for certain symbols though

#

probably got flagged for the swastika or the clansmen symbol

#

yeah, if you challenged the claim they'd probaly unblock you

Twitter it is

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:39 PM

it has someone's name on it, thereby implying that they're a klansman

#

could be considered defamation I expect

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Tucker Carlson?

#

The TV host?

#

It's a political cartoon, I didn't draw it, I shared it

#

last August

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

nobody said you drew it

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

@sand goblet doesn't the US have laws that protect satire to an extent?

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

that's kind of irrelevant on a platform like this really

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

This would likely be covered by artistic freedom and freedom of speech even in Germany

#

yeah its a private company

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

well it's not so much the private company argument

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

Oh

#

if he registered a domain, and then posted, nothing you could do

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:44 PM

facebook has more laws to comply with than just the US laws

Straight from their Standards

#

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/08/business/media/tucker-carlson-white-supremacy.html

The New York Times

By Emily S. Rueb and Derrick Bryson Taylor

Tucker Carlson of Fox Falsely Calls White Supremacy a ‘Hoax’

His commentary sparked anger days after law enforcement authorities linked the El Paso mass killing to white supremacist beliefs.

#

I'm sorry, he did

#

So libel, no falseness to it

#

Tucker Carlson is aw hite supremacist and I posted a political cartoon calling him out on it last year

#

Facebook just found out and got mad today

#

I don't get it

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

Nah, facebook didn't find out

#

someone reported it

#

also, not all white supremacists are klansmembers, even if you were somehow able to conclusively prove that he was

#

I hate fox as much as the next guy, but facebook has to be careful

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

It's a political cartoon

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

it's a point that could have been made without singling out a specific person

#

tbh without the names anyone familiar with the situation would still know what you're referring to

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

I could make a point that Tucker Carlson is awhite supremacist without pointing to an individual?

#

nvm

#

sorry for the itnerruption

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

it's a tricky line to walk

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

I wonder how much longer it'll be till the US will be called a failed state

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

I'd call it

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

or if there's still a chance to turn things around

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

I sure do hopeso

#

but I have my doubts

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

to be fair, most of europe feels that way about it

#

at least in some respects

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Anyways, Facebook is shielded from me posting lies

#

legally speaking

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

not if the so-called EARN IT act comes to pass

#

america's been trying to remove safe harbour protections for years

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:49 PM

We are not a failed state. We are exactly in the state we want to be. Great corporatist state.

there's protests

lofty dirge Jun 9, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

Sure but from what I’m seeing is it’s white liberals who want to do “something” unless that something threatens their way of life then nooooooopppppeeeee

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

Is that so?

#

From what I'm seeing people are defunding police and enacting police accountability

#

Police officers are resigning

lofty dirge Jun 9, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

See if school district wants to bus in minorities and watch those same people come out to protest.

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

TBH bussing isn't the solution, technology is. Why should one set of bussed students get better than their neighbors?

#

We need to invest in national materials

#

devices for everyone, ensure a solid curriculum for all

lofty dirge Jun 9, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

We are too big for national solutions besides funding

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:55 PM

I return one tomorrow, the other at the end of next school year

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

Without parents that actually care about their children, they won't just magically develop these skills

meager ledge Jun 9, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

if us switches to khan kids will rely more on the internet, when they dont know how to google

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

Maybe we shouldn't jail parents so readily

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

unless someone teaches them the basics required to use the internet to inform themselves

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

or split them from their children over misdemeanors.

#

if only someone invested in society, call it like...socialism or something and run ya out of town

#

no no no, we need more money for police, it's not safe

#

CAGE THE ANIMALS, BUILDS MORE CAGES, LESS SCHOOLS

#

That's the rhetoric that got us here

#

Education, not incarceration

#

A smarter America is a better America

#

The ROI on social services is much higher than the uh...can't even call it ROI on incarceration, as recidivism in America is on another level

the punishment is time, not labor

#

except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted

#

Unless the sentence is labor, it is unconstitutional

#

Now find me where a sentence includes labor?

#

community service

#

would be an example of legal slave labor

#

forcing people to work for free

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

so they tried to stop indited labor

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Doesn't matter

#

there is no justice in america

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

In the end it depends on how judiciary interprets the law

#

right now case law makes it legal (obligitory not a lawyer)

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Of course it does

#

why wouldn't iot

#

There's $$$ to be made, this is America

#

make that money

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

law doesn't operate on entirely logical principles

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

tomatoes are vegetables for tax purposes and per the supreme court

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

It's tied to interpretation by judges

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

But botanically? Per the science? Fruits

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

i mean I'm not against offering prisoners labor, and paying them minimum wage

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

and paying them minimum wage maybe, if not more. Depending on the labor

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

like learning a trade

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

if they create value

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

In Germany you can even get an apprenticeship in prison and learn a new trade

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

they should get a fair portion, held in trust.

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

exactly like that

#

So you're prepared to be a member of society again after you leave

edgy raft Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

oh yeah, pay minimum wage to prisoners, not like that would drive everyone else's taxes up

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

and that trust should help them spend it properly the first year or 2 after release

#

to ensure a proper re-entering into society

#

Teach people to be good, not criminals, all American jails do

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

You could always tax the rich

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

If only the point of prison in the US was rehabilitation

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

but they tend to run from taxes

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

I wish

#

I wish

#

If only it were an option

#

Too many Americans think too far ahead to never, when they themselves will be billionaires and have to pay additional tax

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

well teaching prisoners a trade, with a certificate, would help them increase they're chance of getting a job on the outside.

#

also yes tax the rich

edgy raft Jun 9, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Taxing the rich shouldn't be a solution for everything

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

It's not

#

It's an injustice that's been going far too long

edgy raft Jun 9, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

it could hurt the growth of their buissness

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

The taxes are FAR too low for people who make the most

#

Aww, their business

#

Fuck their business

#

Make a better business

edgy raft Jun 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Oh cool, how are you gonna make a new amazon if it collapses?

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

If it's not profitable in a fair world, it's not viable in a fair world

#

lol?

#

Are you serious?

edgy raft Jun 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

competing with 2000 other new companies

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

The market would EXPLODE

#

if amazon fell

edgy raft Jun 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Its an extreme example but yeah

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

It would be a windfall for countless

#

Amazon failing would be AMAZING.

#

AWS would probably spin off

#

those data centers aren't just getting shut down

#

Far too much $$ in those rooms

#

Small businesses?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

AWS is hella expensive, amazon is rediculas

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

Especially after COVID?

#

It would help tremendously to borrow a word from the carrot

#

Will there be an after COVID?

#

Or will it mutate in time for COVID-20

#

😩 😫

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

you know, when they cap the worker safety laws around covid at 300 people because "the big companies will do it anyway"

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

Yep.

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

There will probably be a vaccine next year, I sure hope there'll be efforts to prevent money grabbing though.

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

They always protect big businesses

#

There will be money grabbing

#

It's the American way!

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

But there should be more than one vaccine available by then

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

I actually did a 'interview' today for political work

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:11 PM

Sometimes I forget where I am

Though it seems to be a more European crowd here that doesn't mind the honest opinions of America from an American

It doesn't

The police are not accountable

they cover their badges with black tape

who's gonna arrest the bad cops when all the cops are bad?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

the FBI

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Under the direction of Trump?

#

lol;

#

I love when they call a bad cop a bad apple

#

Really shows their ignorance

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

yep

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

a bad apple spoils the bunch, so you throw it out. Not defend it tirelessly until you have a barrel of rot

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

you know, delta makes an effort that they don't have "bad apples"

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

which we're past the point of. Now it's a sludge that they keep throwing these green recruits into that immediately take to the corruption

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

so when planes start falling out of the sky, do we say "just a few bad apples"

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Why do the trolls attack the Python discord?

I just don't get it, but Trolls are not meant to be gotten I guess

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Discord needs better tools

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:19 PM

It's because we're on the discovery page

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:19 PM

I found it on the discovery page

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:20 PM

Oh good, so it is working

#

I've really been unsure whether we're getting people who want to stay and learn from there

also people might know of python from school or whatever, and then click on it

Makes me wonder if we're spilling over to you guys, sommer

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

Got here through the discovery page as well

#

i can code, but ruby is my jam

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Like they join your server from the partners page or something

#

@rough sapphire Fair

pine vector Jun 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Hem, i had the thought. could be a mutual-server/partner lookup.

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Ruby is a weird beast

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Agreed. I've tried to wrap my head around Ruby but it just feels so different

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

yeah you can do something like 5 different ways

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Not bad mind you, just different

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

It's nice to use and all

#

but the implementation is a mystery

#

and sometimes you have no other choice but a crazy one liner to do the thing you want

#

and rails is a security nightmare xD

#

but I don't know if ruby is actually to blame for this

#

or it used to be

#

should use past tense when I've not been doing webdev for years

#

idk it seems a like all the stuff stored in memory could be an issue

#

or maybe it's just a matter of rails being popular

#

so it's a valuable target for black hats

#

could be both

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

Interpreted languages always tend to be easier targets

#

I think

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

if both are written perfectly i think so

#

but if memory is handled wrong in a compiled language than that would be worse i think

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

True

#

I might just be thinking of it as a more immediate attack vector. Like changing the code on the fly or something

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

yeah that too maybe

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:40 PM

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

I'm not sure I even want to know

#

What could have had them pull it to begin with

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

well, facebook redactors are overworked and have terrible working conditions

#

ai is supposed to support them, but I don't know how much of that ever became real

#

according to some reports, not much

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

AI can only do so much

#

Especially in such turbulent times. Everything must look like it needs to be pulled

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

I know they're busy

#

but again, they should run images against databases

#

I can probably find that one all over

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:50 PM

What even was it?

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

so I jsut share the work of others

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:51 PM

I think we can remove it now, point gotten

#

I mean I can certainly see how that would be inflammatory

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

But nothing out of line for Facebook

#

and to get in trouble for it today?

#

For being vehemently anti-racist?

#

Maybe 10 months ago sure

#

When I posted it

#

if the bots are scanning, scan

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:52 PM

Unless something gets flagged to hell, it goes to the bottom of the stack

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

It's a private post

to my ~60 friends

#

I don't post publicly, I don't friend people I'm not actually close to

#

I hate facebook

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Right, and I'm saying that there may literally be that many images that are being sifted through

#

And ones that aren't flagged aren't bothered with.

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

10 month backlog to me sounds like they're not trying hard enough

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:53 PM

And the AI/bot/whatever was likely looking for symbols

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:53 PM

don't say it's expensive

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:53 PM

I'm not saying expensive

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:53 PM

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:53 PM

Time consuming

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

For bots to analyze images in realtime as they're uploaded?

#

let's not pretend FB can't handle the bandwidth

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

You're assuming that they had it in place at that point

#

And using that logic, yeah, pretty dumb

#

But if they didn't, and they're scanning backlogs now?

#

Starts to make sense

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 5:54 PM

Then they need to do a better job

Encapsulated communities

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 5:57 PM

Because you can control which subreddits you subscribe to.

honest star Jun 9, 2020, 6:03 PM

just because it's twitter doesn't mean it goes through the marketing team. They most definitely have a funnel for support items that bypass marketing completely.

@surreal otter listen to hemlock, they are literally a mod on a large internet forum

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 6:04 PM

COFFEE!

#

I always loved the afternoon coffee when I had a job

speaking of which

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:05 PM

I might.

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

Still working on that database?

surreal otter Jun 9, 2020, 6:05 PM

gonna make a coffee

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

Yep

#

Probably going to be for the rest of the week and possibly a little into next, depending on how long this takes me to do the ones by hand

#

And also getting people to move the passworded stuff that I can't

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

It's a specific Document Management System

#

My options are super limited

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

yeah i know, shuf was a meme for a bit

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Have you guys worked with miramo, hemlock?

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Doesn't sound familiar

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Fair, it's a document processing server

#

I know the people that wrote it but I have no idea how far it reaches

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

Ah, I getcha. To my knowledge this is all through Lacerte and whatever backend they decided to use for DMS

#

I can tell you this, they probably went with the lowest bidder

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

i know that too well

sand goblet Jun 9, 2020, 6:08 PM

Wouldn't be the first, I suppose

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

#

will make IT system for parts+$10&lunch

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

The issue is that it's an old program

#

They originally planed on killing it back in 2014, swap it for a different service called Smart Vault

#

Except SmartVault was subscription based, far less intuitive, and had a limited number of seats

#

There was a HUGE backlash so they decided to support DMS again not long after. But it's been band-aid fixes

#

Little stuff here and there

#

The core issues with it (the engine it uses) will likely never be fixed because there's no money in it for them

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

yeah that sounds about right

#

be lucky it isn't written in COBOL i guess

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Why? COBOL works

#

It's hard to kill, that's why it's still around

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Yeah, what's wrong with COBOL?

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

If it sucked it would have been replaced already

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

well it kindov has

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

It's HIGHLY unpleasant to write, but the programs it creates are strong

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

when was the last time a program was written, from scratch, to do a new thing in COBOL

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Sure, but we're talking about existing systems.

#

It's the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

yeah ok thats true

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

In fact a lot of places NEED COBOL coders so that they can either update, transfer, or completely switch code bases

#

And a lot of the old guard are retiring

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

but there aren't many cobol programmers around anymore, lots of states are having problems now because they don't have enough people to maintain the code

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Yep

#

Which is terrifying, since it's primarily in government, financial and insurance

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

I just worry what they'll migrate to

#

They'll want something similar to the old COBOL systems, i.e. something they can just set and forget

#

There'll be little desire to have someone maintaining it

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

knowing government they'd migrate to scratch

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

In fairness, nothing wrong with that

#

Still compiles to a working program

#

I know Scratch gets a lot of flak since it uses blocks but it does the job

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

i think its java script basically

#

its also annoying because it lacks things like booleans

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

That's what 1's and 0's are for

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

yeah but imagine how the code would break if you pulled the wrong orange block somewhere, and it gets set to 2

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Same thing could be said about setting the wrong variable or a typo in a class name

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

thats true

#

Please tell me that scratch isn't used in production anywhere

#

I want to be able to sleep at night

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Oh no, I doubt it

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

😱

#

i guess my biggest gripe with scratch is that it takes so long to write

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

But I think it's unfair to call the language out I guess

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

😵

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

It's a learning tool

#

Same with BASIC

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

true

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

And I feel like BASIC deserves more flak

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

It should be used for that and nothing else really

#

yeah

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Yep yep, agreed

#

But you could

#

And it would work

#

Maintaining it would suck ass

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

i know

#

its made in javascript so maybe you could compile to javascript

red prism Jun 9, 2020, 6:22 PM

Sounds likely. So if nothing else, it could get a project started. @red prism What's your problem/question?

red prism Jun 9, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

I need to solve a problem with python but I don’t know who

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 6:26 PM

If it's a problem with your code then it would likely be best to use our help system. For details, see the #❓｜how-to-get-help channel

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

@rough sapphire i’m not joking when I say you’ve made me realise that I think scratch solves an issue i’ve had (what language to choose for a certain thing)

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

Really?

#

Also nice timing, I just returned to the keyboard

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

Would be nice to have something that people who don’t know how to code can use 🙂

#

Have a bot, and want people to be able to create their own custom commands and it has 2 requirements - be safe, and be usable by people who don’t know how to code

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

Oh yeah, Scratch is ideal for that

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

If you want to teach kids around 12-16 I think lego mindstorm might be a better option if funds are available

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

#

I used to play with those when I was a youngin'

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

Oh this isn’t about teaching ppl

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

Kind of surprising how long they've been around

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

My older sister had the mindstorms kit and we played tons with it

#

Well, there's this book called python for kids

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Ugh but they can do things with python :/ and then idk how to check the code won’t break stuff

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

How would you have them give you the command?

#

And would it be temporary or stored forever?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

yeah lock them inside a container

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Stored indefinitely

#

Was thinking provide them with a limited set of building blocks 🙂

#

(And like a stack depth limit)

#

Can you make custom blocks for scratch?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

an IRC friend of mine made an opensource scratch

#

that should be customizable

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Link?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

let me see if I can find it

#

his page is a mess <.<

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

What page?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

http://amigojapan.github.io/

#

wait

#

https://amigojapan.github.io/s-found/ this links to some examples, but I cannot find the link to the source <-<

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

Wow second time i’ve seen maths from scratch

#

But the last guy was trying to implement it with machine learning in c

#

So I think his js version might be more successful

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

I could just log on IRC and ask him if the source code is still available

#

oh wait, not during this time of the day, it's in the middle of the night in japan

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

Why doesn’t he have github?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

He does, but strangely it's not on there

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

😦

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

I thought it used to be there

#

maybe he abandoned the project, don't know

#

Oh, his 3dpl project page looks really nice, but that's a project for kids that are ready to write code

#

It's based on unity3d js, so the performance is not the best though

#

but honestly though, most kids could understand python

#

the code wouldn't be efficient or pretty

#

I think the visual aid that something like scratch provides might be needed for some kids to grasp the concepts

#

kids have very different levels of abstract thinking really

#

yeah but for like anything above a 5th grade level just use python

#

some develop sooner some later

#

typing the syntax is sooooo much faster than pulling out blocks from a list

#

I think scratch also lets you type to select blocks

#

it's been a while since I touched that

#

let me check

#

it actually was part of some online course I took a few years ago to revisit the foundations of programming

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

How come your friend wrote this stuff? Does he teach programming?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

not on the web version

#

@sullen thorn don't know if he still does, but yes that was one of his jobs

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Makes sense

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

i mean someone i know made a minecraft to arduino program

#

press a button in game to light up a light irl

#

or push a button to launch a firework in game

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

That’s actually pretty cool

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

I should find myself some proper food

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

But also like a number of people might do that

#

How many people implement scratch themselves?

#

Good idea

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Well, lately I've been getting much better, but I still spend more time with textbooks than novels

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Because you enjoy it more?

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

I really used to like reading though

#

I do enjoy it, but it's also kinda needed, since I'm studying

warm widget Jun 9, 2020, 7:47 PM

But the question is, do they love to tkinter?

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

But do you enjoy it more?

#

Lol

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

I actually don't know

#

I mean, I get really excited when I finally understand a new concept and such

#

but I also used to enjoy reading engaging stories

#

also, novels are a minefield when you have something akin to PTSD

#

so I only really read novels when there's nothing else to do and I can deal with the possible emotional turmoil

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

Hmm... but the high of understanding a new concept is relatively short

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

After that you need to polish actually applying it

#

so there's plenty of things to keep me busy

sullen thorn Jun 9, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

Eh that parts not as fun

rough sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

I don't think everything in life needs to be fun

#

the more important bit is that life feals worthwhile

plucky ridge Jun 9, 2020, 7:54 PM

There's plenty in life that has to be done that isn't fun and doesn't feel worth while

#

That's life

#

But during those moments, it's about thinking about the fun things you WILL be doing

You can, provided n is not zero. So let’s think about this. We start with 3n=6n. Now, consider the case of n not being equal to zero. Then you are perfectly free to divide both sides by n, and you get 3=6. But 3=6 has no solutions. There is no val...

but if you're looking for an explanation, it's fine

grizzled leaf Jun 10, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

Well, there are tons of explanation about this topic, this was the first one came to my mind

high verge Jun 10, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

yeah

grizzled leaf Jun 10, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

I didn't say that you can trust everything you saw on quora

high verge Jun 10, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

like you wouldn't cite some person on quora but as an explanation

grizzled leaf Jun 10, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

I didn't understand what you meant

high verge Jun 10, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

like i assume the issue that opalmist has was that Quora isn't an authoritative source on information

#

but if you just want an explanation of why something that you know is true is true it's fine

grizzled leaf Jun 10, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

That usage of 'but' in the meaning of 'except' still confuses me somehow :l

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:10 PM

What on earth is that haha

#

I sounds like a silly English series

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:10 PM

daaaaaaaaaaa, da-da, da-da-daaaaaaaa

Sounds like it haha

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

it's a soap opera

#

commonly known as a soap

#

thanks daz

#

I don't watch soaps and I'm assuming you don't either

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

?

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

wonder what they're called in french

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

"Feuilleton" I think

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

that sounds like something you put on a cake

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Or just "soap opera" because we like stealing names

#

Haha

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

they're basically dramatized slice of life shows

#

they're called soaps because that's how tv advertisements for washing powders were done originally

#

some dramatic slice of life problem solved by buying the washing powder that brings you the whitest whites

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

Lol

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

clothes, I mean. obviously.

#

Daz still does this

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

We have little house on the prairie in France haha

#

And we have some French garbage too

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

coronation street and eastenders are the two big english soaps

#

there's also emmerdale but it's not as big

#

here in Ireland, we have those and Fair City

rough sapphire Jun 10, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

what about that essex thing

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

the only way is essex?

#

that's reality tv

#

not a soap

#

well I guess it's kind of a mix between both

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

Reality TV is close to soap opera anyway tbh

rough sapphire Jun 10, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

do you watch it

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

but it differs from soaps in that the shit happening is actually real

#

nope

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

Real is a big word

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

well I do mean it literally

#

IMDB:

Part soap opera, part reality show, `The Only Way Is Essex' follows the lives, loves and scandals of a group of real-life Essex guys and girls. Cameras capture the happenings at all kinds of locations including nail bars, nightclubs, and salons.

solid pollen Jun 10, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

I mean, they have scenarios and stuff

#

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:18 PM

rough sapphire Jun 10, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

sex and the city is a dramatic rom-com yeah

rough sapphire Jun 10, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

#

sand goblet Jun 10, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

I mean the point is that it's not a soap

#

plucky ridge Jun 10, 2020, 1:33 PM

@NJGov @eliistender10 Life after NJ= lots of intentional deep breathing in car “trying” to stay calm when stuck benin drivers in left lane getting passed on the right (both washington state & arizona) #jerseygirlroots https://t.co/y2gt2cUJ6Q

#

This is the truth

honest star Jun 10, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

As someone who grew up in NJ and is now living somewhere else. The struggle is real. The left lane is for passing, not for chilling out going barely above the speed limit.

surreal otter Jun 10, 2020, 5:45 PM

lol

#

@NJGov is the best twitter on the interwebs

I don't live there anymore, but II grew up there too. The ❤️ is real

reckon this is intentionally a kinda straight kinda not straight rainbow?

surreal otter Jun 10, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

probably easier to make it that way

#

than trying to math out the curve ratios

#

for knitting

#

and the top would be easy lines

high verge Jun 10, 2020, 5:51 PM

oh yeah definitely

surreal otter Jun 10, 2020, 5:51 PM

ngl I hate that style of knitting

#

#

It's like the texture was loading, then erorred out and pulled a default

#

at the pits

#

My mom would knit sweaters like that and I never wore em

#

also knitted sweaters are HEAVY

but the sentiment is always nice
