me: okay cool so minecraft stores your skins digitally now so it should be easy to find and download my skin to edit it

minecraft launcher: good news! we made everything more user friendly so you don't have to hunt down the folder we store your skin in anymore to change it :)

me: okay but i can still get to that folder right

minecraft launcher: :)

me: or at least let me download the file that *I* put there, right

minecraft launcher: :)

today i learned it feels fucking impossible to get a free minecraft server running a 1.7.10 modpack unless you know esoteric coding language and even when you try to figure that shit out it doesn't fucking work so i guess i wont be able to play 1.7.10 Regrowth with friends because fuck me I guess

I don't know why I'm the way that I am, but I am. (Felt like I just came back from a battlefield tryna understand what this shimeji thing is).

I've spent the last three days trying to optimize a multithreaded program to get it running faster than the single threaded version that took me like an hour to write. As a last ditch effort I did some cursory searching on the web and confirmed my suspicions that there is literally no advantage to multithread this use case because the computing overhead of managing the state would literally always outpace the advantage of actually having more than one thread do it. 👍 cool great, I love university, I'm learning real world skills 👍

You're quite the epic one

I just found this program that converts MTG cards into D&D monster stat blocks and at first I was like "how would that even work?" And I figured that it probably looked at power/toughness, cost, color, types, and keyword abilities to set some basic stats and powers, but still, how do you give a monster attacks based on a magic card? Probably just generic attacks based off its power that the user is supposed to rewrite into something fitting. Looking at the examples they give, there's no way it could possibly generate abilities like that. These are obviously edited afterward to add cool fitting and flavorful abilities. So I plugged in Skeleton Archer and

So I downloaded it and plugged in Skeleton Archer and there's some stuff like its language being "Can't speak but understands the language it knew in life", which is naturally from it being a skeleton, and a longbow attack, obviously from being an archer, but then

That's... definitely not a regular archer ability. It's fitting of a black skeleton archer, and you can draw a connection to its damage ability, but how could the program possibly do that? I plugged in Apprentice Sharpshooter and, naturally, it didn't have that ability, but what it did have was

That's DEFINITELY a reference to it putting +1/+1 counters on itself. How much of a card's text does this thing read?! I looked around the page, searching for details on how exactly this thing works. Is it AI or something!? The only thing I found was the patch notes and

It's not AI. It's all painstakingly handwritten, looking for specific common strings of text and mapping them to custom abilities. Combining the abilities with colors and types to make even more detailed abilities like Cursed Arrow. This program is a work of art.

So right now I'm crying because I have to empty a bucket and to add water to the bucket but I don't know how much water is leaving and how much water I must add and it doesn't make any sense and why, why do I have to rewrite the same function 3 time in a row and how tf do I know those values since I don't have my pipe right now !!!!!

To differentiate between a .jar file and a Java web application in a Linux environment...

It’s essential to understand their configurations and structures along with the relevant networking considerations. A .jar (Java Archive) file is typically packaged with a manifest file (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) that may include a “Main-Class” attribute for executable applications. When executed in Linux, it can be run using the command java -jar yourfile.jar, relying on the Java Runtime Environment…

GO TO BED !! /SILLY

I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT ANONYMOUS BED PERSON. I HAVE A CLASS TO PROGRAM

I wish programs that decompile code didn't require you to know how to code in order to use them.

[aspectpriority]

it's really amazing what you can get caught up on when you're learning to code. me and my beatiful wife "12 firefox tabs" can get thru anything but god it doesn't half make you feel like an idiot.

hi friend i was reminiscing getting distracted pondering reorganizing and i came across an ask you sent me a while back. and so i was wondering how your x files adventures are coming along bc at the time you were only on ep 3!

still going strong despite my well curated stream of scully and mulder being down bad for each other significantly dwindling?

and shamelessly plugging them whenever i can because i LOVE listening to them yap, if you're into podcasts i can strongly recommend scully nation pod. sure they do in depth discussions of every episode but more importantly they made me cry laugh uncontrollably in public with a very bad meryl streep impression

that's all love and kisses!!!!

hey!!

I have to say the Horrors have been going on an unfortunate amount in my life so I completely forgot to respond to this! so sorry, I was very excited to get to it :)

anyway I still love the x files!! I haven't been able to watch it as much the past while but im hoping to get back into it when life is a bit calmer. I gotta say I can't remember where im at rn episode-wise, but I've been following the plot by a few metrics that seem applicably unhinged to the show. if I remember correctly currently we've had krycek returning for the 3rd? 4th time? he's more pathetic and somehow more homoerotic. very nice. also scully has been kidnapped a few times now? I think her insistence on nothing paranormal going on is spite at this point and who am I to tell her she's wrong. she's got a gun and if it can bleed it can die, etc. very final girl of her, and I have nothing but respect. lastly skinner is reaching uncontrollable levels of serving cunt and I fear for everyone else. not me tho, what a man. (can cancer man finally keel over? please)

also thank you for the rec! I haven't been able to get into podcasts since the magnus archives but I'm curious and it sounds very fun, this might get me there again :)

anyway thank you for asking, I hope the reorganising was nice and youre doing good.

cheers, love and kisses!!
