Okay, no solarized for the background. Using it on tumblr made me realize that simply switching the background to #222 is enough to improve it substantially. Mission accomplished, I guess?
I’m inflicting Solarized upon you (because it’s inflicted upon me as well (because all my attempts to change it just put me in a hell of .vimrc and .Xresources and .config/i3/config and so on when nothing is satisfactory)).
If you wish to change this state of affairs, I’m incentivizing anyone to give me a different color scheme for my terminal that still accomplishes the same goals of moderate brightness contrast and adequate hue contrast. Black/purple/orange/neongreenish are good colors for such a color scheme.
Also, if askbox issues still persist, please inform.
It’s not obvious what the code is doing, thanks to the one letter variable names and extremely unhelpful comments. It’s probably supposed to be near impossible to understand, since this is the secret compression algorithm itself (see the ConvolutedMagic call on line 76, too).
The full transcription of the (shown) code can be found at http://textuploader.com/5y7l2.
isn’t silicon valley set two decades back or something? what’s sublime text doing in 1995?
No, it’s approximately the present day.
Anyway, the real question is: why aren’t they using vim and tmux instead of sublime text?
Welcome to Ravendor — a truly elite house. Your keen, analytical mind and deep love of knowledge for its own sake were not enough alone to get you into this house, because Ravindors must also be lovers of people. To you, most people are both an open book and an endless, beautiful mystery, and your combination of compassion for people you don’t understand and fascination with what it is that makes them different truly sets you apart.
Ravenclaw/Slytherin. Greaaaaaaaat. =/
Same as you, hpgross. I don’t see what’s so bad about it, though?
You got:
Raverin
You have a genuine love of learning and acquiring new
knowledge, but your efforts at self-improvement are geared specifically
towards achieving the success you know you deserve. You prefer to avoid
confrontation, not because you’re afraid of it, but because you don’t
suffer fools gladly. You have a particular gift for seeing the merit of
both sides of an argument, and you’re not afraid to use that ability to
win in a fight, even when you know you’re wrong.
Bad taste after HPMoR I guess. Though I suppose there would be at least a couple other gadflies to make it bearable.
Ah, I read several chapters of HPMoR, and then gave up because the jokes were starting to get less funny but Harry Potter James Electron Volts* stayed at the same level of smugness.
But hey, if you don’t like someone who is uncannily similar to yourself, their existence just gives you more information about which parts of your personality to emphasize and which to downplay!

Which house am I if after getting my results I hack the database (okay, inspect the webpage source code) to see all the possible results for comparison purposes?
Preparing for the challenge to France, Edward had to make up for the disparity in numbers by some superiority in weaponry or tactics. In 1337 he had prohibited on pain of death all sport except archery and canceled the debts of all workmen who manufactured the bows of yew and their arrows.
That … definitely is one way to make your subjects into better archers
I had broken bash in my arch installation and managed to make it dump core like Chernobyl (baby leet’s first segfault!) so one quick reinstall later I’m exploring the joys of alternate shells, my feelings sufficiently summed up by this image:
I would be unimaginably glad if someone knew a CLI editor that was the same thing to nano as fish is to out-of-the-box bash. This is such good, perfection, sense-makingness, convenience and most importantly teh pretty.
How…
How did you manage to break bash?.
Isn’t that thing older than and more widely used than Linux? Like, the last significant bug it had was counter-intuitive handling of environment variables, no? How do you manage to break it?
For CLI editors – absolutely no idea, I’ll be honest (I just use emacs), but I’ve heard `jed`… mentioned once or twice? And not in a way that is “it has many good extensions” I don’t think? So it might be worth a look?
I think sourcing .bash_profile in .bashrc according to some customization instructions for OSX bash was the cause, because on my second try undoing that part unbroke it. First time I broke my account promethea with it, just got locked out and had no clue why (because it happened substantially after editing the files) and mucked around on root trying to make i3 and sddm work and managed to lock myself out of root as well. So I got back to ChromeOS (doing this on a c100pa chromebook because baby leet’s first arch must be as non-standard as possible because I always play life on hard mode), reinstalled (it was easy this time because I knew what I was doing) and broke bash again, but this time I was su’d to promethea from root, so it dumped me back to root instead of login, showed an error message and made debugging easy.
So why the fuck was I using OSX instructions for Arch? The bootcamp preparation didn’t include linux instructions, presumably assuming that anyone using linux either doesn’t need handholding (because they know how to do stuff) or doesn’t deserve it (because they’re running linux without knowing how to do stuff or bothering to figure it out themselves), which is IMO perfectly justified. I assumed they’d be similar enough because bash is bash, it wasn’t, and I learned. Fucking up and unfucking it taught me a lot more about bash than just following instructions successfully.
