Ctrl-Alt-L in IJ

quasi valley
#

^

fringe quartz
#

I use that almost obsessively

finite wave
#

Good

worldly condor
#

i only modified the import ordering and the hard wrap chars

#

inside ide default

granite salmon
#

i hate when people put spaces in brackets like that

fringe quartz
#

That's because you shouldn't ever do that

acoustic pilot
#

md_5's code style is like going full retard, and you never go full retard.

golden gust
#

I hate the bracing style the most

quasi valley
#

only if you are md :p

golden gust
#

And the spaces is just pedantically annoying to the point that I kinda don't care about people skipping that one

worldly condor
#

Utils.getUser( DiscordServer.getServer( "PaperMC", true ), "SamB440" ).cringe( bracketSpaces() );

#

google style vs ide default style tell me

surreal moth
#

Ctrl-R
and input
replacement:\( (.*) \)
to:($1)
(enable regexp)
done and ur free from shitting man style

#

ahno

acoustic pilot
#

Are you high?

#

IDE's have in-built code reformatting.

surreal moth
#

plz tell me

worldly condor
#

Byteflux google style vs ide default style

quasi valley
surreal moth
#

lol

worldly condor
#

google style for me is ew

quasi valley
#

the one thing I really dislike is only having 2 spaces for block indentation

worldly condor
#

the one thing I really dislike is the line breaks in google style

quasi valley
#

never really looked at it that much, but most of it seams reasonable when dealing with code hundreds of people should later edit

#

yeah that seems odd, too

worldly condor
#

like

#

wtf google

#

`plugin

pulsar wigeon
#

what's wrong with line breaks

worldly condor
#

wait

#

plugin. getServer(). getScheduler(). runTaskTimer( plugin, () -> { // something });

finite wave
#

No

quasi valley
#

?

finite wave
#

Leave

pulsar wigeon
#

ok having override on the same line as the method is weird

#

ivan use triple ` for codeblocks

#

jesus

worldly condor
#

thats how google formatting did a 2 line lambda into 10

pulsar wigeon
#

also i can't see where they say to do that?

quasi valley
#

breaks should come before the symbol, so that's just as anyone would do it normally

#

not after

#

also, they say the 4 whitespaces are only added to the original first line's amount

golden gust
#

More than likely they mean to keep those other method calls in line with the higher one ^^

#
plugin
    .getServer()
    .getX...
pulsar wigeon
#

each line after the first (each continuation line) is indented at least +4 from the original line.

quasi valley
#

yep

pulsar wigeon
#

they say that explicitly

#

from the original line

worldly condor
pulsar wigeon
#

looks like mrivan just sucks at reading

acoustic pilot
#

You should always assume Ivan doesn't know what he's talking about, anything he says is usually wrong. 😃

worldly condor
#

Byteflux no seriously

#

i had an update checker

#

and did a google format on it

#

and literally 5 line lambda

#

did it 10+

pulsar wigeon
#

"a google format"

#

uhhhhhh

quasi valley
#

eitherway what you sent above above is most certainly not what they want you to do thonk

worldly condor
#

sori mi bed on inglish

pulsar wigeon
#

like

golden gust
#

Yes, because automated tooling deals with all formatting cases well...

pulsar wigeon
#

whatever you did clearly isn't following the google style guide

fringe quartz
#

I just do whatever the specific JetBrains IDE tells me to

#

I do this in Rider, IJ, PyCharm

golden gust
#

I honestly just prefer IDEAs default set of styling

fringe quartz
#

I let the IDE think for me

#

that's why you use IDEs

golden gust
#

Pretty close to googles, just... not as weird in some cases

pulsar wigeon
#

there's a few dumb things idea does by default imo

#

like collapsing imports

fringe quartz
#

why is that dumb?

golden gust
#

yea, I disable stuff like that

pulsar wigeon
#

replacing imports with * is bad

golden gust
#

.g wildcard imports are evil

fringe quartz
#

y tho

reads

pulsar wigeon
#

^^

fringe quartz
#

ah

#

yes i also do static imports all the time too

golden gust
fringe quartz
#

I can understand that, but then I'm the only one in my codebase

worldly condor
#

static imports ewww

fringe quartz
#

makes my code a lot more readable tbh

pulsar wigeon
#

static imports are useful for a few select static methods

quasi valley
#

Then you're using too many static methods :p

pulsar wigeon
#

things like checkNotNull

vestal laurel
pulsar wigeon
#

if you're using them all over, you're overusing statics for sure

fringe quartz
#

They're all usually helper methods

worldly condor
#

ok i will use kashike one

fringe quartz
#

string formats, etc

worldly condor
#

its like the google style, but without that weird line breaks

anyone know how to add paper to multicraft? (where i can add to the config to download the latest version)

surreal moth
#

avoid to write Preconditions.checkNotNull(value, "Can't deflate null!")

worldly condor
#

@surreal moth why

surreal moth
#

for what?

#

@worldly condor

vestal laurel
#

thanks @golden gust

slim nymph
#

@surreal moth what?

#

can you use a normal name ._.

surreal moth
#

yes

slim nymph
#

how about FatYoshi

surreal moth
#

yeet

#

ok

#

so what's your question aikar?

slim nymph
#

ぴ!Today at 12:52 PM
avoid to write Preconditions.checkNotNull(value, "Can't deflate null!")

#

what was point of that statement

golden gust
#

ivan said static imports are ew, yoshi said that they're nice to they can avoid writing the whole of that

surreal moth
#

i meant "to use static import is useful to avoid to write Preconditions each either null or not"
type 11key * number of usage versus static import

golden gust
#

I just use my IDE

pulsar wigeon
#

or use autocomplete

surreal moth
#

english is difficult for me

golden gust
#

I tend to avoid static imports, tbh

quasi valley
#

For personal use it's fine, but when it comes to other people working on the same project they might or might not be confused when looking at those lines of code for the first time

#

well at least if it's not a common method like the Preconditions methods

surreal moth
#

...btw why not Objects.requireNonNull()

golden gust
#

It doesn't really offer any real pros to statically import it

surreal moth
#

i didnt get it

golden gust
#

Preconditions is basically just the defacto version that's just still in use

#

Objects was only added in java 1.7

pulsar wigeon
#

also preconditions has things like checkargs etc

#

not just checknotnull

#

but yea guava 10/java 6 was the bukkit environment back in the day

#

Objects didn't exist

surreal moth
#

shit newface objects
its still useless method groupin

worldly condor
#

someone explain me whats the magic behind multi module projects

pulsar wigeon
#

groovy

worldly condor
#

my big blin called announcementseverywhere may need multi module creation

#

i need 3 pictures to show how big the project root it is

pulsar wigeon
#

speaks more about your design choices than your needs for multiple modules

worldly condor
#

this project was created on... lemme check the 1st release date at spigot

#

6th of August, 2018

#

then i created it as a small plugin

#

now its total big blin with a bunch of features

golden gust
#

it's pretty much 100% down to designing your plugin in a way that it can be segregated into modules

pulsar wigeon
#

tbh unless you have separate dependency needs (bukkit and forge modules, for example), multimodule projects probably aren't what you need

worldly condor
#

idk how to separate the blin now

#

copy pasta probably ?

pulsar wigeon
#

tbh idk what blin even is

worldly condor
#

pancake in russian transcripted in latin

#

i use it for big projects and such things that are big

#

but im bulgarian, dont think me russian

#

this proves it

pulsar wigeon
#

i mean that proves nothing for starters

worldly condor
#

i mean it proves that im Bulgarian

pulsar wigeon
#

but idk why you'd expect us to understand your usage of a foreign word for pancake, never mind its meaning as "something big"

#

no it doesn't

worldly condor
#

show my passport then ?

pulsar wigeon
#

i don't want it?

worldly condor
#

i am bulgarian, and i can prove it

pulsar wigeon
#

i'm not questioning that you're bulgarian

#

i'm just saying your PR doesn't prove anything about your ethnicity

#

not that it's even relevant

worldly condor
#

it adds bulgarian language

pulsar wigeon
#

so what?

#

i grew up trilingual

worldly condor
#

wat

quasi valley
#

I can speak French, but am I French? thonk

pulsar wigeon
#

and i've taken like 4 different languages in the past 6 years

#

what does that make me?

worldly condor
#

i can speak english, but am I from england ?

pulsar wigeon
#

i mean with your english, you might be

#

i heard of lot of people in england aren't native speakers of english these days

#

LUL

worldly condor
#

in england there are 200k+ bulgarians because of the big exchange of the pound to bgn

#

1 pound -> 2.28 BGN

pulsar wigeon
#

still not sure why any of that is relevant to your pancake

#

but ok

worldly condor
#

back on the theme

#

how is the best way to create that multi moduled ?

#

copy pasta /

pulsar wigeon
#

once again, my suggestions is not to split a project into modules unless there's an explicit need

quasi valley
#

there's no need for multiple modules unless you depend on different depends (as wiz said), have an api module or parts that work on different platforms

pulsar wigeon
#

but i'm guessing you just want to do it anyway for the fun of it?

worldly condor
#

if i expand these it will fit in 3 pictures

pulsar wigeon
#

so what?

worldly condor
#

maybe better to create it multi moduled, /shrug

pulsar wigeon
#

that's the entire fucking point of packages

quasi valley
pulsar wigeon
#

yea don't get me started on worldedit

#

we have 4 modules (1 core + 3 platforms)

worldly condor
#

wait, u the one created worldedit ?

#

and u the one that created worldguard ?

pulsar wigeon
#

no

#

but i've been contributing to them since almost the beginning

#

pretty much the de facto maintainer

#

since sk hasn't done any MC stuff in years

worldly condor
#

if u can, can u do RegionEnterEvent and RegionLeaveEvent inside worldguard

pulsar wigeon
#

no

#

fuck you

#

use the proper api

worldly condor
#

^-^

orchid pelican
#

My plugin has that many packages in one module

worldly condor
#

thats only 2 events, 2 classes, 2 calls

pulsar wigeon
#

it's also retarded

#

don't tell me how to write my plugins

#

if you don't even know how to write yours

worldly condor
#

or u dat lazy dat u dont wanna check this shit

pulsar wigeon
#

or you're lazy and don't want to use the proper api?

worldly condor
#

can't find a check for that in that "proper api"

#

or i'm blind ?

orchid pelican
#

Calm down folks

pulsar wigeon
#

i mean it's all explained in the docs

#

you can fuck off too chasewhip, you're not my mother

Oh yeah we’re still selling dunder mifflin by the box

pulsar wigeon
#

overstocked for april fool's

#

got any graph paper there? i know someone who was looking...

upper flicker
#

No no graph paper

void void
wide chasm
#

Not necessarily. They said they were mainly focusing on bug fixes to make 1.14 release ready.

#

So I'd imagine it'd be soon.

quasi valley
#

The client performance is so much better than 1.13's, though I the server I played on with a snapshot with a handful of others crashed regularly thonk

coarse urchin
#

Probably its optifine, but... 1.14 snapshots are hell for me

#

I think even 1.13 without optifine was faster than 1.14 snapshots tbh

quasi valley
#

Oh well, for me the snapshots are even better than 1.13 with OF

merry talon
#

why the hell is google killing successful products

#

I didn't even know they killed chromecast audio

#

and people loved inbox

upper flicker
#

I think everyone knew inbox was never going to stick around, but they were led to believe the features would go into gmail

merry talon
#

well yeah

upper flicker
#

gmail is kind of a giant mess anyway

#

So maybe they even tried then went nah

#

They definitely have that pattern going on though

merry talon
#

How long until they kill Google Fi

#

that one seems inevitable

limber knotBOT
#

I mean google works in a "whoever comes up with a cool idea gets promoted" kinda way internally so that makes sense xD

cosmic raft
#

I've seen two or three out of the many of people I know that actually used Inbox

merry talon
#

I don't know anyone but I've seen people rave about it on reddit

upper flicker
#

Yeah their employees have long since said that maintaining and fixing doesn’t get you promoted

limber knotBOT
#

I've had proper filters setup for ages now, never saw tha appeal ¯_(ツ)_/¯

pulsar wigeon
#

what is inbox exactly?

cosmic raft
#

yup. filters in gmail are great

acoustic pilot
#

Why would they kill Google Fi lol

cosmic raft
acoustic pilot
#

Shit is awesome

merry talon
#

why wouldn't they

#

Fiber was awesome too

cosmic raft
#

It's live still, you can see @pulsar wigeon

merry talon
#

but it's a ton of effort

pulsar wigeon
#

that redirects me to gmail

acoustic pilot
#

"Why wouldn't they" doesn't really answer it

#

Why would they?

cosmic raft
#

It does? Huh

acoustic pilot
#

Google Fi seems to be doing well

merry talon
#

I just answered it

#

so was fiber

slim nymph
#

what? something saying Fi is dead?

limber knotBOT
acoustic pilot
#

No, Fiber was virtually an unmaintainable infrastructure project

#

Fi runs off of third party infrastructure

#

They are completely different.

acoustic pilot
#

Saying Google FI would shutdown because Fiber is going downhill is not an explanation for why Fi would be shut down.

pulsar wigeon
#

oh

acoustic pilot
#

Make a better argument.

pulsar wigeon
#

at one point my gmail had those folders like social/updates/promos

merry talon
#

lol

upper flicker
#

That’s a nice ask toolbar you’ve got there

pulsar wigeon
#

no clue what they were for but i think i hid them

merry talon
#

I didn't say it would get shutdown

limber knotBOT
#

they still have that, but they aren#t customizable

merry talon
#

but it seems like exactly something they would shut down

#

I don't work at google

#

jesus christ

acoustic pilot
#

Why? Fi is good, and it costs them next to nothing.

slim nymph
#

wiz its to let you segment email so you filter to only important stuff in primary

acoustic pilot
#

Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile does all the heavy lifting for Fi.

upper flicker
#

I mean, inbox cost them a lot less than fi does

pulsar wigeon
upper flicker
#

That’s also a bad argument

acoustic pilot
#

Fiber was entirely Google's infrastructure

#

Completely different situations.

pulsar wigeon
#

i use custom filters for everything anyway

slim nymph
#

promotions gets the marketing emails out of primary

limber knotBOT
#

@pulsar wigeon you can just switch the classic view ¯_(ツ)_/¯

slim nymph
#

i def enjoy the categories

upper flicker
#

That being said, google could pretty much kill whatever however and expecting any less is naive at best

acoustic pilot
#

They could, so could any business, but that's really beside the point. Not seeing any solid argument for why

hot hound
#

Aikar did you ever right any hologram apis?

upper flicker
#

They don’t need a solid argument for why

acoustic pilot
#

Obviously these things precede a cost-benefit analysis.

merry talon
#

^

upper flicker
#

They don’t always have a solid argument for why

#

Christ, hell fi would be easy to kill, most of it could be ported to voice

acoustic pilot
#

If something is unprofitable or unmaintainable, sure.

merry talon
#

The discussion was about them shutting things down willy nilly, not to provide a valid reason to shut down Fi

acoustic pilot
#

Fi is not really one of those things from where I'm standing.

upper flicker
#

No one asked where you were standing

#

Google doesn’t always look for explicit reasons like that was the point

pulsar wigeon
#

maintaining things is harder than killing things

upper flicker
#

Your flip out over fi is still random

acoustic pilot
#

I can see a clear reason why Fiber would be killed.

merry talon
#

especially if you have to maintain the relationship with all those third party providers

#

who are flaky at best

acoustic pilot
#

Fiber is pitched as an affordable (often free) fiber internet with the infrastructure being almost entirely owned by Google. Laying down fiber is expensive as fuck.

#

Cost-benefit dictates it's not worth it

violet kindle
upper flicker
#

Thats the only actual argument I can see for them getting rid of fi, is if the carrier agreements were limiting or they wanted out

#

that being said, google doesnt always look for obvious reasons

#

they could very well introduce some new thing and just slowly kill it in favor of that

#

thats one of their favorite things to do

stray tusk
merry talon
#

the SMS and voice part of a phone plan they already have many competing products for

upper flicker
#

SMS and voice would be easy to migrate

acoustic pilot
#

If anything, I would see the threat to Fi as coming from a third party and not necessarily Google.

merry talon
#

They might just end up selling data only

upper flicker
#

I dont remember if its actually going through google voice

#

but if not it'd be easy to migrate it there

slim nymph
#

theres already 3rd parties doing the same thing as fi

#

and actually even cheapeer

#

just noones heard of them

merry talon
#

ting is a good example

acoustic pilot
#

As a carrier plan that offers the coverage of 3 major networks, it's a really attractive consumer choice.

slim nymph
#

thats why I use it 😛

upper flicker
#

I have met one other person who uses fi in the real world

#

and they're leaving because the coverage sucks lol

slim nymph
#

O.o

#

coverage is great

merry talon
#

Coverage is really still a problem?

upper flicker
#

but its wireless networks so ymmv with location

acoustic pilot
#

The coverage really doesn't get better than Fi lol

upper flicker
#

lol

slim nymph
#

youd have to live in an area thats GSM only

upper flicker
#

thats a stupid blanket statement to make

slim nymph
#

if you are, sure yes it sucks

#

but so does all 3 of the carriers fi uses 😛

acoustic pilot
#

AT&T even loses out on coverage to Verizon

turbid moat
#

new server icon is better, change my mind

merry talon
#

in canada no one has been concerned about coverage for years

acoustic pilot
#

The combined Sprint+Verizon+T-Mobile coverage shits all over AT&T.

#

So not a far fetched blanket statement.

upper flicker
#

its still a stupid one

#

I think verizon is also screwing them a bit

#

I get much better coverage here than he does and Im on verizon

cosmic raft
#

verizon screws everyone and their mom

#

so

upper flicker
#

so either Fi isnt switching properly or verizon isnt giving them good enough access

#

ofc they do, they have some of the better coverage and networks

#

if sprint or tmobile ever get there so will they

stiff yarrow
#

about that dead google project page

upper flicker
#

business gonna business

#

I found out about inbox by google r ight when t hey killed it

merry talon
#

I didn't like it before but trying it now it seems nicer than actual gmail

cosmic raft
#

I tried Inbox, I prefer Gmail

upper flicker
#

its focused on a different workflow than gmail

#

so if you like/can adapt to that workflow its probably gonna be better for you

#

if you cant, youre not going to like it

stiff yarrow
#

it'd be neat if inbox by google was just a viewing mode for gmail

upper flicker
#

its very spartan if you arent in that workflow

merry talon
#

exactly, they could just throw it in the settings

stiff yarrow
#

I'm imagining they killed it because it was a bitch to maintain

#

if I had to guess

merry talon
#

it's like google can't decide whether or not they want options

#

they have 50 messaging platforms

upper flicker
#

Google isnt deciding anything

void void
#

i remember when they gave out invitations for inbox

#

turned out to be quite meh

upper flicker
#

they're still setup like they were when they were smaller

cosmic raft
#

apparently as of 2015, Google's codebase was 2 billion lines of code that stretch across 1 billion files and require 86 terabytes of storage

upper flicker
#

individual teams doing lots of new projects with little communication

stiff yarrow
#

@cosmic raft peepoGiga

upper flicker
#

features overlap and no one cares

void void
#

google - the king of inconsistency

upper flicker
#

eventually some team wants to keep moving on and google brass has to decide if they wanna move someone else to maintain it

void void
#

and zero communication

upper flicker
#

and usually thats a no lol

stiff yarrow
#

oh google+ only just now got the axe? I thought they killed that years ago

merry talon
#

@cosmic raft 2 lines per file

#

now that's maintainability

upper flicker
#

its been dead for a while basically usage wise

acoustic pilot
#

Probably takes a while to phase out something as entrenched as Google+

upper flicker
#

they finally killed it after they lost a bunch of data

acoustic pilot
#

They really promoted that hard

merry talon
#

I don't think it was ever alive usage wise

upper flicker
#

"oh shit we lost people's info, uh uh uh alright just kill it"

merry talon
#

it was just forced down people's throats

acoustic pilot
#

Despite their intensive marketing, I doubt it as well.

upper flicker
#

the archival sites are going at it now before its finally taken offline

void void
#

it was just forced down people's throats

#

this

#

every older android phone has g+ app

upper flicker
#

tbh Im surprised inbox lasted as long as it did

limber knotBOT
#

yeah, if they would've made it optional then people would've accepted it more

upper flicker
#

it was billed as a shot term experimental thing from the get go

limber knotBOT
#

lots of ingress communities were on g+ for example xD

merry talon
#

quick, someone copy inbox and make it its own web app

upper flicker
#

lol

merry talon
#

then just log in with google

void void
#

inb4 google just blacklists you

upper flicker
#

I wonder if any of the google reader clones are any good

merry talon
#

that has to already have happened

limber knotBOT

#

err ok

upper flicker
#

thats not news

void void
#

reminded me this

upper flicker
#

its more like the media providers blocked him

#

but google has the keys I guess

#

the comments on HN are the only sane part of that story

merry talon
upper flicker
#

tl;dr if the media companies that wanted this garbage DRM allowed google to just hand out the code for their DRM all the time, it would be much less effective so as it turns out if youre just fucking around with electron and no one's ever heard of you, you don't get access

cosmic raft
#

the open issue/etc @merry talon?

#

gmail has it too

merry talon
#

I'm not seeing it in gmail

pulsar wigeon
#

how does video drm work anyway. never bothered into looking into it

#

what prevents someone from just capturing out video output

void void
#

nothing

acoustic pilot
#

Nothing.

pulsar wigeon
#

what's the point of it

cosmic raft
#

PR example

merry talon
#

huh

cosmic raft
#

shows up when you hover

upper flicker
#

Some operating systems allow you to implement secure views and enforce them, android and iOS as examples

acoustic pilot
#

Capturing output is what webrips are

void void
#

to convert encoded video into human viewable format, wiz

merry talon
upper flicker
#

but ripping it from your screen is still going to be worse than the source files they distribute

#

just usually not enough anyone cares

cosmic raft
#

yeah, hover over it

#

and it'll show up

pulsar wigeon
#

that's the job of the decoder mikro, not the drm

merry talon
#

it doesn't @cosmic raft

upper flicker
#

there's also all the broken HDCP devices

acoustic pilot
#

Webrips still tend to be pretty good enough that yeah, nobody really cares if they really would go that far

merry talon
#

oh now it does

acoustic pilot
#

Certainly leagues better than cam lol

#

alright, i didn't go into details

encrypted hdmi relies on both ends

oh HDCP was broken a long time ago

void void
#

i saw one site here what used base64 and rot13

#

to "encrypt" web requests they do client side

upper flicker
#

there are plenty of devices that say they support it and lie

merry talon
#

it's like 64 bit encryption anyways

pulsar wigeon

at some point you have to go from an encrypted data stream to pixels on the screen

upper flicker
#

I think there's a newer version of hdcp that isnt broken

#

but there are definitely still hardware devices that lie about it

I kinda have a deja vu to the time where pay tv tried to encrypt their stuff and failed...

When DRM fails, we all win 😃

limber knotBOT
#

20 years later the media companies have learned nothing

void void
#

drm is basically a cat-mouse game

upper flicker

I mean, the RIAA and media companies have basically been their own worst enemy

void void

see games for example

upper flicker

from DRM to suing people randomly

denuvo lul

upper flicker
#

theyve done more damage to themselves than piracy ever did imo

limber knotBOT
#

I just don't buy any ubisoft games anymore because of their DRM issues ¯_(ツ)_/¯

acoustic pilot
#

I used to pirate because it was the easier way to obtain digitized media.

void void
#

i still pirate - to try out games before actually buying them

acoustic pilot
#

Looks like these days it's getting even easier to streamline the whole process of torrenting and cataloging directly into your Plex library

limber knotBOT
#

only really playing multiplayer games makes pirating difficult :S

or movies sometimes, when i can't go to cinema at right time

limber knotBOT

2019

#

torrenting

#

mfw

merry talon
#

just about the only place where I can see DRM benefiting the companies more than harming them is movies

#

but the problem is to implement it for that they have to do it the whole way

#

which then fucks with everything else

limber knotBOT
#

if they make it stupid easy to get their movies and don't need a subscription or special app to watch it then I will willingly pay for the stuff I watch...

merry talon
#

they just gotta cut their losses for the greater good

limber knotBOT
#

put as long as it doesn't work in my kodi on a pi then please fix it xD

upper flicker
#

you will need 15 subscriptions and 15 apps to buy from the 15 different streaming services

#

because no one wants to give up any slice of hte pie to netflix or hulu

acoustic pilot
#

That's always been the worst enemy of media. Difficulty accessing the media on your preferred devices without paying obscene amounts.

#

Still making the same mistakes they did in the 90s.

limber knotBOT
#

I mean I would even agree to not use my preferred device if they just gifted me one where things simply worked ¯_(ツ)_/¯

merry talon
#

This is starting to happen with games too

limber knotBOT
#

but buying something just to have it not work properly? not going to happen

upper flicker
#

I mean at least music has moved away from DRM a bit

#

idk if we'll ever see movies do it

merry talon
#

won't be an issue when movies are free with paid DLC

limber knotBOT
#

just got a "Welcome to Inbox by Gmail" mail after visiting the inbox url 🤔

#

"get the good ending for only 4.99"

upper flicker
#

Im still upset goo.gl is going away

acoustic pilot
#

@merry talon So-called triple-A games not worth more than $20 trying to sell themselves off as $60, with extra DLCs on top of that, also spending a lot of money trying to DRM their shit, and then wonder why people pirate their shit.

merry talon
#

yeah that's rough for old links

upper flicker
#

ripperino

limber knotBOT
#

are they actually deleting old links? or do they just not accept new ones?

#

goo.gl is going away as well? lol

#

already has

merry talon
#

I'm sure they won't last forever

#

but goo.gl was supposed to be a reliable one

limber knotBOT
#

nothign lasts forever :P

merry talon
#

it was one of the first

acoustic pilot
#

Forever lasts forever 😃

limber knotBOT
#

fuck google, seriously

merry talon
#

and yeah I haven't bought a full priced game in more years than I can remember

#

can't justify that at all without knowing if I'll enjoy it

acoustic pilot
#

I haven't dropped $60 on a game in a long time, either

#

Plenty of good games that cost less than $20 but have weeks of content or replayability

merry talon
#

it's actually closer to $80 in canada too

limber knotBOT
#

i wonder when google's most know feature - searching is going away

#

:p

#

known*

upper flicker
#

youtube, search, and gsuite are probably the only truly safe things

#

and youtube is still a net loss for them

acoustic pilot
#

Google Cloud is probably in the truly safe category, too.

upper flicker
#

yeah cloud, admob (are they still calling it this?)

limber knotBOT
#

if yt competed with patreon with a built-in version they could rake in tons of money

merry talon
#

they're making some good progress in competing with AWS

upper flicker
#

they are trying to do that in a youtube-y way

#

you can "join" channels now for a monthly fee

limber knotBOT
#

that's twitch they're copying

upper flicker
#

they're working it more like a subscription for normal media than patreon

limber knotBOT
#

well, twitch and cable tv

upper flicker
#

i dont see them ever going past that for true patreon

limber knotBOT
#

their loss

upper flicker
#

doubt it

#

I dont think enough people would switch to make it worth the time

limber knotBOT
#

they don't need to switch

upper flicker
#

the people on patreon have patreon

limber knotBOT
#

it would be enough to just get people to stop going there from that point on

upper flicker
#

those are the people theyre going after with subscriptions

limber knotBOT
#

yt is a massive platform, they would instantly have free advertising of their built in service to billions of people

merry talon
#

how much of a cut do they take from that?

upper flicker
#

and tbh I bet that's more than enough for those people

limber knotBOT
#

most people on yt don't even know patreon exists, statistically speaking

upper flicker
#

most people on yt will never subscribe or pay in any way shape or form

limber knotBOT
#

they don't need to

upper flicker
#

so that statistic doesnt mean much

#

you'd have to compare a few different numbers for that to be relevant

limber knotBOT
#

wasn't it less thank 0.01% that made 99% of the revenue for mobile apps

upper flicker
#

no idea

limber knotBOT
#

the answer is yes

upper flicker
#

lol Im not going to blindly trust that figure

#

youre not a reliable source for stats my dude

merry talon
#

for mobile games

upper flicker
#

certainly could be, certainly could not be

merry talon
#

and it's gotta be closer to 1%

upper flicker
#

Im sure its something egregious

limber knotBOT
#

it could work if you actually get cool rewards from it, I mean I dropped around 100 bucks to a youtuber/streamer for their show already just for cool emotes, profile icons and behind-the-scenes stuff ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

and I don't even have lots of money xD

acoustic pilot
#

Looks like Valve is making their own "second gen" VR headset. It's called the Valve Index.

upper flicker
#

google is large enough they could undercut patreon on %

#

that might get some creators to leave

limber knotBOT
#

there are people who donate hundreds of dollars to streamers every single day... whales exists there too

acoustic pilot
#

Thought it might be an April Fools joke from yesterday, but it was announced days before.

limber knotBOT
#

iirc it wasn't announced, more like accidentilly posted xD

#

announcement is May 11 iirc

#

so yeah 0.15% of people for 50% of revenue

acoustic pilot
#

Well, yeah, "revealed"

#

But no details other than coming in May

#

I wonder what they'll price it at.

merry talon
#

are ads included in that figure?

limber knotBOT
#

probably in the area of the Vive release price

acoustic pilot
#

If it's like a Vive and it only targets enthusiasts, then it's probably not all that interesting

limber knotBOT
#

well it says "all"

#

don't think the time for consumer VR is quite there yet

acoustic pilot
#

Vive prices are enthusiast pricing

#

Vive also requires considerable PC investment

merry talon
#

Those lenovo VR headsets are looking promising

upper flicker
#

someones going to have to make that leap towards consumer VR

merry talon
#

for the consumer level

acoustic pilot
#

I wonder if Index will target lower specs with cheaper hardware or even bite the bullet on cost to penetrate the VR market.

upper flicker
#

but no I dont think VR as a platform is there yet either

limber knotBOT
#

any headset that requires base station isn't conumser friendly imo

upper flicker
#

it will always seem too early until someone just does it

acoustic pilot
#

Valve does seem to sometimes show interest in eating the cost of hardware

limber knotBOT
#

or even controllers

#

let us use our hands ffs

merry talon
#

^ the new ones are just one unit

acoustic pilot
#

LIke their 90% sales they sometimes do on their controller

upper flicker
#

the issue is VR as we know it now is still going to require quite the performance tax

merry talon
#

I think they still have controllers but they track themselves

acoustic pilot
#

And Steam Link

upper flicker
#

and most people dont have it

limber knotBOT
#

good luck tracking individual fingers without putting sensors on them

upper flicker
#

so their limited to enthusiasts and prosumers

limber knotBOT
#

@acoustic pilot Steam Link is dead, that's why they have heavy sales for the last batches

merry talon
#

a VR glove could be cool

acoustic pilot
#

atm VR requires too much investment so yeah it's just for enthusiasts, but I'm wondering is if Valve will change that

#

Or if Index is just another enthusiast VR headset

upper flicker
#

steam link is very dead and it makes me sad I didnt buy one

limber knotBOT
#

they started to push their android streaming app

#

I think they fucked up with roomscale tbh

#

it simply requires too much space

#

which works quite well, even on a phone so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

upper flicker
#

the few people left selling are cashing in on resale

phoenix616: But Steam Controller isn't.

And they also do sales on that.

limber knotBOT
#

I should sell my link, haven't used it in a year 🤔

upper flicker
#

is steam controller selling well?

limber knotBOT
#

jesus christ that glove would make thanos blush

#

the last really big sale that I saw for the controller was with the link together

upper flicker
#

every review I saw of it said it was pretty niche

limber knotBOT
#

otherwise it's 50% off at a max iirc

upper flicker
#

cool but niche

acoustic pilot
#

Steam Controller is always sold out during their sales lol

limber knotBOT
#

but I will probably get another one just so I can tinker with the hardware a bit xD

acoustic pilot
#

Gotta get it within the first day

limber knotBOT
#

I would love to have a real d-pad

upper flicker
#

steam link did too and even then its market penetration is tiny

#

even among gamery pc prosumer bros

acoustic pilot
#

Doesn't Valve keeps stats on this, I thought they did

upper flicker
#

well

#

definitely

#

but thats not what you meant lol

#

idk if theyre published, that'd be cool

limber knotBOT
upper flicker
#

I just have a dualshock 4 for the few times I want a controller on PC

#

and it works really really well

#

I thought about getting a steam controller but it wouldnt really work for most of the games I use a controller for

acoustic pilot
#

Steam Controller numbers pretty good if it's a third as much as PS4 controllers.

merry talon
#

you need a sony dongle to use bluetooth on those right?

acoustic pilot
#

Oh, that's PS3

limber knotBOT
#

I really hope next-gen consoles will have the back-pedals too... honestly the coolest feature of teh steam controller

acoustic pilot
#

Not as good

upper flicker
#

no

limber knotBOT
#

but seriously I don't know that roomscale can ever be consumer grade

upper flicker
#

you can pair it to any* bluetooth dongle

merry talon
#

dualshock 4 is ps4

acoustic pilot
#

Naturally XB 360 dominates the controller market share

upper flicker
#

though I know the drivers are picky about internal ones

limber knotBOT
#

if you guys live in homes where you can dedicate 4 meters by 4 meters to vr then you have a home much larger than mine

upper flicker
#

the bluetooth dongle is what sony supports

limber knotBOT
#

and mine isn't exactly a tiny apt

upper flicker
#

their* bluetooth dongle

merry talon
#

ah

acoustic pilot
#

My room is definitely wider than that

#

I got a nice VR set up

limber knotBOT
#

USA has lots of free space, Magma ;)

#

it's not as cramped as the EU xD

merry talon
#

I thought I read that they use a special version of bluetooth

acoustic pilot
#

My apt is 700 sqft 😃

limber knotBOT
#

still, 4 meters by 4 meters isn't small

#

what's that in real meters?

upper flicker
#

I dont think so

limber knotBOT
#

13ft

upper flicker
#

I think the dualshock 3 did

merry talon
#

yeah looks like it

acoustic pilot
#

65 m2, apparently

limber knotBOT
#

basically 13ft by 13ft of space with no obstacles whatsoever

merry talon
#

do mobos nowadays come with bluetooth?

limber knotBOT
#

some do Sweepyoface , mine does

upper flicker
#

some do yeah

limber knotBOT
#

my previous mobo didn't even have wifi

upper flicker
#

otherwise there are pcie cards that bundle it with wifi

#

and then the usb donglerinos

limber knotBOT
#

why tf would you need wifi on a mobo?

#

just plugin in an ethernet cable

merry talon
#

none of mine have had wifi

upper flicker
#

because not everyone uses a desktop with a hard wire

limber knotBOT
#

so I don't need to dedicate a pcie card to it

#

using wifi

acoustic pilot
#

I get it in one direction, not both.

upper flicker
#

most homes in the US arent wired for ethernet

acoustic pilot
#

Roomscale VR is not 4 meters x 4 meters

upper flicker
#

and not everyone puts their PC next to their ISP's router

#

or cares

acoustic pilot
#

Your Vive base station won't work that far.

limber knotBOT
#

just lay your own cables ¯_(ツ)_/¯

upper flicker
#

or get a PC with wifi

#

most people seem to pick the wifi option

limber knotBOT
#

wifi sucks

#

runs

merry talon
#

lol, I have coax running across my room so I can do that

upper flicker
#

but most people dont buy desktops anymore either

limber knotBOT
#

I ended up laying my own cables but a lot of people wouldn't bother

#

it's not too hard, 100m cables only costs like 20 bucks or something

upper flicker
#

you lost most people at buying cable, laying it down, running it along the wall, etc

limber knotBOT
#

might even be cheaper, dunno how much I paid a couple years ago

acoustic pilot
#

Roomscale cuts off at just about 12' x 12' for Vive (16' diagonal)

limber knotBOT
#

the internet speed on my phone is 340 mbps in my office so using wifi wouldn't be that bad in the first place

merry talon
#

The main thing is latency

limber knotBOT
#

8ms ping

merry talon
#

you have a good wifi setup then

#

most people don't with their ISP unit

limber knotBOT

I'm a believer in thin & light laptops docked to an external GPU and peripherals being the way of the future

i am very filthy, and i love it

You probably carry it around in your filthy backpack, too!

grand slate

who would do that

acoustic pilot
#

Some filthy people I know who work at Apple 😛

grand slate
#

isn't the whole point of a mac mini to be a dekstop with no screen - i.e. you don't move it

acoustic pilot
#

I worked for Apple doing web development for a few years and we'd fly out to Cupertino a few times a year for a week to do a hackathon. Some people did.

grand slate
#

god they're awful humans. pls tlel me you turned up with a windows laptop

acoustic pilot
#

Right, peripherals were at the office. All they had to do was carry the mini back and forth to where peripherals are.

grand slate
#

my god

gusty idol
#

Do they only use Macs at Apple

acoustic pilot
#

Nah I used a MacBook Pro back then, my roommate, also working the same job as me, had a Thinkpad with Linux though

#

Got some looks at Apple offices

gusty idol
#

POG

grand slate
#

@gusty idol there was that embarrassing moment at an apple launch event when a windows laptop was broadcast everywhere by accident

merry talon
#

can't use your mac mini anywhere you want then

#

would rather have a macbook and just dock that

gusty idol
#

Any good ultrabooks that aren't too overpriced thonk

#

For under $800

grand slate
#

when i got my mac mini - either 2012 or 2013 - it wasn't that overprices. the idea was a mac without the screen and for once a fair price. i had enough to give it 16gb of ram too.

now, there's no way ican affoard a mac.

you really don't get cheap and good in that category

what am i meant to do? buy a fucking windows laptop for development? piss off

acoustic pilot

Could by any cheap laptop and throw Linux on it 😃

tropic flame
#

lmao I just came here to say that, dw I'm not saying your choice is bad

#

in fact I didn't read half of the chat

acoustic pilot

30% of the cost you put into an Apple product is product design 😛

grand slate
#

dw dw, not talking to you logic just generally ranting haha

tropic flame

I just saw y'all were talking about apple

#

and the inner iphone hater me spoke louder

grand slate
#

@acoustic pilot i would, if i knew how to use linux at all, i'm an idiot

tropic flame
#

altho ik it's about macs but still

grand slate
#

yea i don't use an iphone anymore

merry talon
#

modern distros are really not that hard

#

you get a desktop environment like you would on windows or mac

gusty idol
#

Install Arch

#

Break system

#

Reinstall Arch

grand slate
#

there's the problem, all the rants about which distro is best. i'm lost already

acoustic pilot
#

Also, I develop on Windows, it ain't so bad 😛

gusty idol
#

Repeat until system stops breaking

acoustic pilot
#

As long as it's Windows Pro

merry talon
#

Since having to use linux on this old PC I wish I could combine aspects of both

grand slate

@acoustic pilot same rn lmfao, i can't be botherd to keep switching to mac and windows for gaming, so gradually i just use windows ;-; but i do hate it

gusty idol
grand slate
#

but, the only saving grace is i'm on windows 7

depending on who you ask, that's a great or awful thing

merry talon

I haven't yet found a DE anywhere near as polished as windows 10

I dont have a mac mini

if the price was a bit lower and it came with a gpu I'd get one

grand slate

dw he has a mac mini, just too afraid to admit it

upper flicker

I have a mbp

Im already part of that tax

acoustic pilot
#

Basically the sentiment towards any Apple product

"if the price was a bit lower"

#

😃

gusty idol
#

@merry talon I think Linux DEs aren't well polished too

#

**That's why I use a tiling WM 😎 **

upper flicker
#

I did the "oh just buy a windows laptop that costs as much as mac and then judge" thing

#

and that one died

#

so Im like fuck it

grand slate
#

i looked at student prices for apple laptops, they looked really high, thought it didn't work. i removed the discount and it jumped up i was like "wtf"

merry talon
#

KDE has just been a buggy mess for me

gusty idol
#

i3-gaps gang

merry talon
#

that may be because it's a weird unofficial install on mint

acoustic pilot
#

I've had 2 MacBooks (one was a regular MacBook, the other a MBP) that developed inflated batteries lol

grand slate
#

with a student discount, in the uk it still cost > £1000 for some shitty i5 and 128gb of ssd

acoustic pilot
#

Never bought another MB again

upper flicker
#

the ram upgrades are still ridiculous on the newer stuff

grand slate
#

might just go to dubai to buy a macbook tbh.

#

the plane ticket + macbook would probably still be cheaper lmao

merry talon
#

and then your OS will be permanently in arabic

grand slate
#

all they do for student pricing is drop mbp's price to macbook's price, which is still shitty lol

merry talon
#

what's the difference between the macbook and macbook air? I thought they just had the air and the pro

acoustic pilot
#

When is casual "build your own laptop" going to be a thing? 😛

#

Is it already a thing?

limber knotBOT
#

one's hot air and the other one is enterprise-grade hot air

grand slate
#

it's not, the laptop parts are too fiddly, as to fit it all in that small space, regular people can't do it

merry talon
#

yeah it's a thing apple does it

acoustic pilot
#

Nah not where the vendor custom builds it for you

grand slate
#

i built my regular pc, which i'm glada bout. i was only 11/12 years old but it's still going

acoustic pilot

I mean mix and match

Like PCs

They’ve flipped places since they introduced them

windows 7 gang anybody here?

Windows 10 Pro masterrace.

Second gen was nicer

acoustic pilot

Shit felt like a feather

When they got rid of the stupid flippy door

grand slate

also no macbooks have ports anymore lol. they won't have usb ports soon, if they do now

merry talon

they have usb C only

grand slate

Yup

grand slate

like excuse me? thanks.... £1000 to not be able to use my shit

You don't have to buy a first party adapter though

they say that i can trade in my mac online 😮 but i cba to find my serial number, and i doublt they'll take it since i did my own ram modifications

upper flicker
#

I don’t mind it on the laptops

merry talon
#

USB C is the way of the future, they just made people mad by doing it too early and not including a dongle

upper flicker
#

I basically never use it on my system

merry talon
#

mostly the latter

upper flicker
#

If they tried that on the desktops they’d run into trouble

grand slate

they make ppl mad, because they decided it was the future, for everything... no devices really have usb-c atm, except for phone chargers.

upper flicker

I think the iMac they refreshed still has usb a

merry talon
#

You use the trackpad?

upper flicker
#

The trackpad is the nicest part of the laptop lol

grand slate

also samsung fucked me off... i can't steal my friend's charge from their phone. but they can steal mine. even my friend's iphone 6 can steal my charge if it's plugged into my phone

merry talon

yeah but I feel like it's still frustrating no matter how good it is lol

acoustic pilot

Are the Mac Pro's any good? That shit is expensive >_>

merry talon

bring back the nipple mouse

upper flicker
#

I have a mouse in my bag, never use it

@acoustic pilot not anymore

grand slate
#

@acoustic pilot i feel like if you're going to buy a mac pro, you either want to host your own vps or you need a dekstop pc.

upper flicker
#

They designed themselves into a corner

#

Haven’t refreshed them in years

merry talon
#

I suppose if you're used to keyboard shortcuts for development

upper flicker
#

Their new one is a bit of a hype spectacle atm

merry talon
#

I find myself using the mouse in editors more than I should

grand slate
#

the only thing that annoys me from switching between mac and windows, is the keyboard shortcuts

#

no matter how often i used to do it, i'll never get used to command, then when i do i forget about ctrl. it's so annoying

merry talon
#

can you remap it to that fn key? :P

acoustic pilot
#

lol, it's a cylinder now

#

not using nvidia anymore, either

merry talon
#

I thought they always used AMD?

acoustic pilot
#

I remember when they used NVIDIA Quadro

grand slate
#

looking at macbook pro, "up to 2.7GHz" yea um somebody should tell them that sounds extremely bad for £1500

merry talon
#

Those cost multiple thousands on their own

#

cant imagine buying a mac with one in

acoustic pilot
#

It might've been a choice

#

Not a default

merry talon
#

I remember them having firepros

upper flicker
#

they havent used nvidia since nvidia fucked up their laptops

merry talon

Which was AMDs workstation offering

and now theyre having a spat about drivers in the latest macOS

Whoo, been one month since I took a break from weed. Probably my longest stretch in 10 years lol

#

It's been easier on my wallet without the munchies 😛

#

Gotta say the first best part of it all is I'm having vivid dreams again. Haven't been able to remember dreams for the past decade, but they're coming back to me now. Second is I'm saving a lot of money 😄

#

I was really into weed in my late teens but not so much now, weeds just the productivity killer and I like being productive

#

just turned 30 for reference PPepeKMS

acoustic pilot
#

Nice! Yeah for me it wasn't so much of a hit to my productivity (can say that now that I've been off it for a month and can draw a comparison), but more of a feeling like I was too dependent on it, so I challenged myself to see if I really was.

#

I don't feel a strong need anymore, but I do feel a trigger when I smell it.

#

And it's California so the smell is everywhere lol

stiff yarrow
#

Oregon is like that too

#

can't walk anywhere without it smelling like weed

acoustic pilot
#

I'd like be able to be a casual user, but my personality is addictive, not just with weed, but with things in general. So I think for my own good, might be better to just stay off of it for a long while.

stiff yarrow
#

yeah that's a really positive look on the situation

#

some people get hooked on weed, I know a few

acoustic pilot
#

Yeah, for sure. People can develop an addiction or dependence on it, and anyone who argues otherwise is a fool.

#

Key is moderation, but some people are incapable of moderation.

#

Like me 😃

Damn, rip me 😭

pulsar wigeon
#

it's ok aikar is addicted to 5 hr energy

#

but as long as he administers he's fine

#

no need to moderate

wait fuck it's not an admin role, joke doesn't work

acoustic pilot
#

Haha

pulsar wigeon
#

just realized it's actually "project developer"

#

I used to buy a lot of 5 hour energy but then I kind of cut caffeine out of my life, now I have the occasional coffee

pulsar wigeon
#

i drink milk and water exclusively

slim nymph
#

i do feel great off of it...

acoustic pilot
#

I like caffeine, hate pissing all day though, so yeah I cut back too

slim nymph
#

i just dont get enough work done

#

going to bed at 11pm cuts out 3 hours of working time

acoustic pilot
#

To be fair, how many hours a day are people TRULY productive?

#

It's probably not more than 3-4

slim nymph
#

I sure as hell go more than 4

#

I've done 14 hour live streams before lol

acoustic pilot
#

You're probably the exception 😛

#

I believe the 8 hour work day should be shortened to 5 or 6

slim nymph
#

many of my peers rather move to 4 day work weeks

acoustic pilot
#

Studies show that people on average aren't actually productive for more than 3 hours out of the 8 hour work day

slim nymph
#

id prob prefer 4 day too

acoustic pilot
#

lool

stiff yarrow
#

@slim nymph you might tempt me into buying it since I'm a workaholic LUL

slim nymph
#

caffeine is a mental stimulant. increases focus

#

discord is my anti 5 hour though

#

yall keep me from working

acoustic pilot
#

Shut up and write us some patches!

slim nymph
#

im still at dayjob

acoustic pilot
#

Can't even multitask

stiff yarrow
#

@acoustic pilot often I work about 12+ hours a day on my plugin, although lately I've been hating the current thing I'm working on so I've struggled to do 8

acoustic pilot
#

Yeah it's easy to get excited/passionate about something that's yours

slim nymph
#

i just wanna get past 1.13/1.14 so ican get back to mc feature work

#

my Survival Update v2 was so much fun

#

1.13 is demotivating me 😦

acoustic pilot
#

Yeah really hope 1.14 drops soon

#

Set things back on track

slim nymph
#

its like every step forward, I get beat in the head with something else wrong

#

md5 released such broken garbage

#

and im not ok with data loss like all these other servers on 1.13 😛

#

I demand perfection

acoustic pilot
#

Well you run one of the few servers that never resets, I think

slim nymph
#

I doubt its 'few' lol

#

but external inventory was main thing missing

#

and virtual storage concepts is a popular plugin idea

#

all of those servers who used virtual storage solutions lost data on conversion

#

well outside of 'simple' items

#

but item meta, nbt data, spigot didnt convert anything

acoustic pilot
#

No guarantee md5 won't royally fuck up 1.14 either 😃

slim nymph
#

also prob lost any item that was saved in super old mc versions that changed numerical ID's even

#

as his conversion for that only used 'latest' versions

#

the whole item meta system is screwed. it needs to go to only storing nbt data, and convert the stack before parsing out item meta properties

acoustic pilot
#

I really look forward to when Paper hits 60% adoption

#

50, even, but 60 is nice too

#

Just gives us more leverage

slim nymph
#

im still pondering over that to see if i can fix it for paper, though if do that, that data then cant go back to spigot as safely 😛

acoustic pilot
#

In bigger decisions

#

Also please metadata API when

slim nymph
#

well spigot may be getting it soon

#

for entities at least

acoustic pilot
#

Is it mostly just not being added because Spigot might add it?

slim nymph
#

no, its not being added because im too busy 😛

#

gotta get my own server updated

#

but if spigot can get it in, i can store our data in same location, and just expose my better API

acoustic pilot
#

Spigot probably won't add it until Paper adds it lol

#

Knowing him

slim nymph
#

so both api's work for same data

#

a new guy PR'd the item meta system

#

and now hes working on entities

#

its not md5

acoustic pilot
#

That's one of those APIs that could significantly drive adoption, IMO

stone fog
#

Not really a paper question. But does anyone know how to set a login world with Multiverse?

slim nymph
#

agreed, but im just so filled with work 😛

#

im loking to update my local version of it to use newer paper storage format, so i can simplify migration from my fork to paper

acoustic pilot
#

Yours actually does more than mine did in my old private fork, too

#

I think yours does blocks and locations

#

Which is really neat

slim nymph
#

the way I stored in nbt in my own fork was meh

#

so i wanna clean that up

#

_BlockMeta 😛

#

where ChunkMeta is stored at 0,-1,0 lol

acoustic pilot
#

Oh right, and chunks

slim nymph
#

i gotta write data fixers for my itemstacks too

#

thats the big thing for me to fix

#

im still working on such critical pieces of the update for me

acoustic pilot
#

You thinking we can maybe see it in 1.14, whether Spigot adds it or not?

slim nymph
#

hopefully

#

i mnot 'waiting' for spigot

#

just would be more convenient

#

as i was considering should we use external storage

#

but its super hard to handle that for entities

#

if they load a chunk in spigot, entity moves, now we dont know where the entity is

#

or if entity died

acoustic pilot
#

Yeah, storing it directly with the entity NBT is easiest

slim nymph
#

so ultimately neeed to just keep it in chunk format and people will suck it up if they ever load spigot

#

i was looking at abusing spigot lol, could store it in an entities name serialized to string 😛
