@QueenieGoldstein I know you can run sql queries on github dataset (metadata, etc) on google cloud, but unsure for SE/SO. Probably possible? wouldn't surprise me if it was

Journeyman Geek

@NordineLotfi that's actually not a bad thing

Nordine Lotfi

@JourneymanGeek yeah, but it feels weird, it's like I'm making an introduction to a book or something

Journeyman Geek

Means that your work won't be duplicated and you are putting in effort into a solution

Nordine Lotfi

@JourneymanGeek :D I see

I feel like this might be a bug in upstream, but to be sure of that, i would need to try every raspbian images and flash each of them...

not that it's tons of work, but internet speed here is pretty bad hmm

I already tried 5; guess i should point that out hmm

Q: Getting macro keys from a Razer BlackWidow to work on Linux

I picked up a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate that has additional keys meant for macros that are set using a tool that's installed on Windows. I'm assuming that these aren't some fancypants joojoo keys and should emit scancodes like any other keys. Firstly, is there a standard way to check these scanc...

@NordineLotfi I've seen more than a dozen edits within several minutes; while you're trying to answer it keeps saying that the question has been edited, really quite annoying because there's no way to see what has changed because it's within the grace period, so you have to reread the question - me, I just abandon answering.

@JourneymanGeek Thanks, I'll try doing it like that :D

@Rob I usually don't do this, but this is a special case :) (given i try and fail at fixing this, and edit my findings as i go...)

@Aibobot didn't knew that site! look original for some reason (the content i mean)

@NordineLotfi After a very quick search, someone who has no experience guesses, no bonjour? ---- gist.github.com/gbaman/975e2db164b3ca2b51ae11e45e8fd40a raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=199641#p1245860 youtube.com/watch?v=upY4Fusi4zI

@Aibobot yeah checked older stuff on the site, it's pretty good! Thanks for the find :)

I actually didn't find those two link when searching (and i found *a lots* when i did...didn't link them all on my post though as to not clutter it too much)

Though yeah, i do have Avahi (which is the open source equivalent of bonjour on linux), which *should* work, but doesn't?

Although i think https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/73523/connect-pi-zero-via-usb-rndis-gadget-to-ubuntu-17-04?rq=1 might help, but might go to sleep soon, so I'll probably try this later :D

Thanks for the links btw, will check the video as i never found this one

Rob

Aibobot

I wouldn't trust avahi

Nordine Lotfi

@Aibobot I don't! honestly wish there was other way to make this work beside using avahi...

Lasted 21 hours of fast.

John Dvorak

... that was fast

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

:D

Well better than last few years.

Maybe because I drank a LOT before.

Like 2 liters of water...

Lasted for the whole 25 hours only when younger. :(

John Dvorak

I only lasted a few hours today, and I was sleeping the whole time

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@TheLittleNaruto yes he gets a lot, he keeps all chat pings as a separate tab and comes back to them when he gets some time.

Email might be faster, but not for sure.

@JohnDvorak lol

@QueenieGoldstein OMG :D

@NordineLotfi Hebrew wink! ם is a Hebrew letter. But think ס is better: ס.ס

@SonictheMaskedWerehog Why is your post locked?

Just curious @Sonic

Nordine Lotfi

1:38 PM

@Ollie soup can calm your stomach if you do it when waking up (for those who have stomach ache in the morning) i do it sometime

@Ollie first time i see an answer to a post locked...usually it's the post who's locked? weird

Ollie

Hmm...

The OP is also serving a suspension now, so I can guess why...

Nordine Lotfi

@Ollie mod? can't guess why beside that

With pepper/paprika, Shadow?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie no, that would upset the stomach. It does have vegetables, hummus, veal meat, etc.

Ollie

Yum.

But I like my food hot hot hot.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Yup

Ollie

Also I'm vegetarian

Don't eat meat.

Mostly...

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie mostly?? Lol

Nordine Lotfi

1:49 PM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask I mean, maybe they consider eggs/fish as meat?

not sure though

Ollie

Fish yes, eggs no.

I eat eggs allll the time.

Nordine Lotfi

@ShadowWizardWearingMask that one's nice, how would you name it?

@ShadowWizardWearingMask never tried soup with meat before. Usually i do vegetables only

tomato soup is simple to make yet very addicting for some reason

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordineLotfi eggs can't be meat, but they do come from a living creature (same as cow milk for example) so there are those who won't eat it, dunno exact name.

There are dozens of categories...

Nordine Lotfi

@ShadowWizardWearingMask yeah i know :P but some consider it as same as meat because of (as you mentioned) that it come from a living creature

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordineLotfi Hebrew letter "pe". פ

@NordineLotfi same category, yes.

Anyway, saying eggs are meat is like saying humans are cows. :)

John Dvorak

1:56 PM

Well, some eggs do contain meat... those shouldn't be sold though

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordineLotfi rare for me too, someone else made it for me.

@JohnDvorak bull's?

Nordine Lotfi

they do?? how does that look like
do you know if they have a particular name?

@ShadowWizardWearingMask gotcha :)

John Dvorak

Some chicken eggs contain live chickens. With meat.

This one has a tortoise inside:

Nordine Lotfi

@JohnDvorak oh. didn't know those were sold too...I would have thought it would be non recommended as it could be malformed or mold-ridden (happen sometimes with Ducks i think)

John Dvorak

I don't think you can sell them

Ollie

2:02 PM

@JohnDvorak You didn't eat it, did you?

John Dvorak

... never mind, you can totally sell fertilized eggs. Probably not in a supermarket though.

Rob

@Ollie How about fish eggs?

Ollie

Err

No.

John Dvorak

Fertilized chicken eggs are quite a bit more expensive than unfertilized ones, TIL.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

How Stackers ditched the wiki and migrated to Articles

Ben Popper on September 28, 2020

In an effort to rethink how documentation work, we recently introduced Articles, longer-form prose that can sit side by side with shorter Q&A. We sat down with team leads from across Stack to learn how this new features has changed their approach.

John Dvorak

@Feeds no mention of their inspiration? Quelle surprise.

Journeyman Geek

@JohnDvorak balut :D

John Dvorak

TIL. Not Haram though - even for atheists.

Nordine Lotfi

@JohnDvorak I find it weird how something that might be rotten is more expensive than it's non-rotten counterpart...

like i can understand wine, cheese etc, but eggs?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordineLotfi blue cheese?

John Dvorak

2:14 PM

I do suppose you could rot them yourself, but I've heard it stinks

blue cheese is molded, not rotten

wine is not rotten either. Different bacteria.

Ollie

Not when it's been the victim of a kid's painting project.

Rob

How about a rotten harem?

Nordine Lotfi

ofc it stinks, they can't sterilize it like you would do for cheese, wine etc
unless they spend money in injecting something in each eggs to sterilize them...which i doubt they would

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie it's a comments only lock, which is pretty new. We can still vote on the answer, just not comment. Not hard to guess that it received too many bad comments...

Ollie

@Schwizzard Yeah, the OP is now suspended.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie huh? How did you reach that name? ;P

Spevacus

Yeah last I looked at that question it wasn't too derailed. A lot must've happened in a short time for a comment lock and a suspension to occur.

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Here, if it's not caviar it's bait:

Ollie

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein LOL!! had no idea. :D

@John here's a better picture:

Just plain yellow cheese. That's the only thing my kids like. :/

No Edam, no Mozzarella, etc.

John Dvorak

Where I live, Edam is plain yellow.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

So I buy like 800 grams every week.

John Dvorak

No red wax thing like the Dutch do.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@JohnDvorak oh, let me check then...

hmm..... looks like it's plain, but it has a different texture and taste, pretty sure my kids won't like it.

I brought them several brands, they like only the most basic.

Which is good, it costs less than half of the others.

It's about $10 for a kg.

John Dvorak

Same here. Maybe it's time for Netherlands to sue our naming conventions?

> It's only an Edam cheese if it's made in the Edam village in Netherlands. Otherwise it's just a colorized block of fat.

Another question (yes, really):

When you follow a post, do you get notified of every edit that is made on that post? Including the ones under 6 characters.

@QueenieGoldstein only CC. It's the kind of game that confines you with stuff like daily events and free gifts, and try to lure you constantly to buy things with real money, but thankfully I resist this. Only recently I came to know the people around me in the game, using app called Line.

Was surprised to see others above 30 y/o there, even some older than me.
