Kevin Guan @Cerbrus Done. Rizier123 @Cerbrus In the PHP tag we have a good dupe for it: stackoverflow.com/q/2063480/3933332 :) Tunaki @MrsEd I'm down to 30 flags for toda, so been busy flagging yeah user3956566 12:03 PM @Tunaki I rarely use that many flags.. I prob should be cruising the site more user3956566 @Rizier123 nice q Kevin Guan There's 4 downvotes and 4 upvotes on that answer, will the author get these two badges this time? Tunaki @KevinGuan nope, it depends on the score so no badge user3956566 I'm leaving the answer well alone. It is correct. Kevin Guan Oh, that one. Cerbrus 12:06 PM Hm, I can almost delete-vote that question user3956566 I've not voted either way DavidG Answer is deleted anyway user3956566 @Cerbrus you look very wolfish tonight ;) Cerbrus This afternoon* DavidG This morning* Tunaki 12:06 PM reject please: stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/10470918 user3956566 ah 11 pm here, what time there? Cerbrus @Tunaki Why? Tunaki it's an edit of an obvious question in a answer Cerbrus 13:07 Tunaki should be flagged Kevin Guan 12:07 PM 20:05 DavidG Looks like a good edit to me Tunaki @DavidG it's an answer Cerbrus The edit is good user3956566 @DavidG I agree, it improves it, although it's minor Cerbrus Doesn't mean the answer shouldn't be flagged Tunaki 12:08 PM but if I flag it, it'll be disputed when the edit is approved Kevin Guan I'd check, but I can't open it now. user3956566 it's a question user3956566 oh no it's an answer with an edit revision that says question lol DavidG Lunchtime, laters peeps! user3956566 I try not to approve edits on lq posts user3956566 12:09 PM @DavidG later, enjoy! Kevin Guan Later cimmanon what do you think about a question about a typo in a 3rd party's readme, i highly doubt this question is going to help anyone: stackoverflow.com/questions/34126175/… Kevin Guan About that edit, as @Cerbrus said, the edit is good, despite the answer is bad. However this edit only fixed the format, it doesn't let this real question become an answer. So flag that answer as NAA is still fine. Cerbrus Approve edit, flag post Kevin Guan @Tunaki What do you think about what I said? Tunaki 12:11 PM I don't see the point in editing non-answers the flag is disputed if you flag it and it gives more work to reviewers for nothing, since it's going to be deleted anyway user3956566 @cimmanon probably not, I just don't know anything about it, but for a typo in the docs, it could be closed or answered Tunaki And, the user who proposed the edit is happy, +2 rep and probably will do it another time cycle continues user3956566 @Cerbrus I usually skip edits like that, I don't reject them if they're good, but don't approve them if the post is really bad and no amount of editing will help Kevin Guan Is ping him OK here? user3956566 @KevinGuan no cimmanon 12:14 PM @MrsEd why not? we ping users here all the time user3956566 @cimmanon I didn't think we brought users into here about editing? Tunaki private room user3956566 suggested editing Kevin Guan However, I'll not edit if a post like that, but I'll not reject a edit if it's really good like that. I'll create a private room and ping him then talk about this. room created, waiting for his reply now. Tunaki Relevant Meta post: meta.stackexchange.com/q/252854 and meta.stackoverflow.com/q/265485/1743880 Cerbrus 12:24 PM thanx for reply but they are old one and m afraid but few question m not familiar with them but can see other users are giving downvote means they are not useful at all, then what to do? isn't there any way to close them so they won't lead to wrong way to others? — Leo the lion 2 mins ago What is dis i don even Tunaki Beginning of a spam: 1 2. Agree? I'm keeping a tab, if there's a third post, I'm flagging user3956566 multiple duplicate answers from user linking to personal github repo stackoverflow.com/a/34133112/3956566 easwee we now edit answers too here? user3956566 is that about my post above @easwee? Cerbrus @Tunaki Smells like spam Tunaki 12:35 PM @Cerbrus it does but not smelly enough to me for now Kevin Guan Already flagged. easwee @MrsEd yes Kevin Guan It doesn't really answered the question, and there's only link in his answer. Which is enough. Tunaki And there's two of them OK, flagged :) Cerbrus 3 You missed this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/25861166/… user3956566 12:36 PM @easwee did I ask anyone to edit it? It was the same as Tunaki's links above, is there a reason you singled me out? Kevin Guan Also that user is is Member since today. Tunaki Ah the third just arrived Cerbrus Oh, that one is 30 seconds old easwee @MrsEd chill man I'm not attacking you - I'm just questioning the scope of the room Kevin Guan That user will be banned soon. Cerbrus 12:37 PM Oh, reporting also helps on other channels where smokey resides, right user3956566 @easwee I've already been singled out once today, that's enough. Especially when everyone else here is doing the same. ps I'm a woman Kevin Guan Yep. easwee @MrsEd plz keep gender for yourself Cerbrus sd deleted deleted deleted user3956566 @easwee then don't call me a man. You're the one who came in here obviously looking for a fight with me easwee 12:38 PM lol Cerbrus Hold it right there DavidG Yes, please don't make this a discussion about gender. Please stop now easwee nope - I jsut asked why are we dealing with answers user3956566 I don't care if you are a room owner, leave me alone and back off, do you understand? easwee lol? I'm not even room owner Cerbrus 12:39 PM sd deleted Kevin Guan sd coffee coffee coffee user3956566 He called me man and I corrected him DavidG Enough or we will need to get RO/mod involved. easwee lol you went all aggro on me Tunaki --- Stop with the gender right now, go get a private room to sort your business --- Cerbrus 12:39 PM End of discussion. Take a breather. easwee my question still remains - are we handling answers too now? user3956566 @Tunaki I didn't start it! I was referred to as man and corrected the person user3956566 am I not allowed to say I don't like it DavidG @MrsEd And now you can drop it Cerbrus @MrsEd: Stop it. Tunaki 12:40 PM @MrsEd You are and you said it, now please stop. easwee @MrsEd please drop the hostility Cerbrus @easwee: not helping. Tunaki If you want to continue arguing, move the discussion elsewhere, this is not appropriate here easwee back on topic: 1 min ago, by easwee my question still remains - are we handling answers too now? Cerbrus define "handling" Tunaki 12:42 PM ^ that easwee flag reports DavidG I think we can as long as it's infrequent, kinda depends on the answer easwee low quality answers Tunaki spam / rude only easwee ok Cerbrus 12:42 PM I see no reason not to flag-plzoffensive/spam easwee as long as we handle those only I'm fine - bringing edits here would be a bit much imo Tunaki @MrsEd Sorry if it sounded a bit harsh but I guess you can agree that this room is not appropriate for that ;). So... I hope we can get back on topic here. Are we cool? DavidG If Smokey can do it, then we can too. But it's preferable to report it to Smokey first. Kevin Guan But we still can have some coffee. !!/coffee SmokeDetector @KevinGuan brews coffee for @KevinGuan easwee 12:45 PM stay calm and focus on questions not trivial stuff :P Tunaki @easwee it's been written in the new guidelines actually easwee @Tunaki ah so those got updated cool NathanOliver Good morning Kevin Guan Morning Tunaki afternoon* Kevin Guan 12:45 PM night* Thaillie Morning o/ DavidG Yo! easwee good 13:47 Kevin Guan Looks like I'll be a Mortarboard very soon...so my question is, what does Mortarboard mean? easwee what's that? Cerbrus 12:47 PM Google images has the answer. easwee Square academic cap The square academic cap, graduate cap, cap, mortarboard (because of its similarity in appearance to the hawk used by bricklayers to hold mortar) or Oxford cap, is an item of academic head dress consisting of a horizontal square board fixed upon a skull-cap, with a tassel attached to the centre. In the UK and the US, it is commonly referred to informally in conjunction with an academic gown worn as a cap and gown. It is also sometimes termed a square, trencher, or corner-cap. The adjective academical is also used. The cap, together with the gown and (sometimes) a hood, now form the customary uniform... DavidG @KevinGuan Did you try Google? easwee that is the last thing I would say it is Kevin Guan Oh, that's fine. easwee also we don't use those in europe Kevin Guan 12:48 PM I'll be a hat?? easwee so go figure DavidG @easwee We do in UK (not all universities) easwee @DavidG interesting - it probably spred to US from UK NathanOliver We have them here in the states. We start using them at our high school graduation where I am at. Kevin Guan Okay, so I got 175 rep today, still need an upvote and an accept or three upvotes or two accepts. @NathanOliver So that means Jeff is from America. easwee 12:51 PM @NathanOliver here some students wear them when they graduate, but it's nothing official Kevin Guan :P easwee at most it makes you look dumb ;P NathanOliver @easwee But you do get to toss them up in the air when the ceremony is done so there is the risk of taking someones eye out which makes it thrilling ;) Kevin Guan Oh, someone upvoted my answer, now it's 185. NathanOliver @KevinGuan I am not sure if it means he is from America but you are correct that he is from America. Kevin Guan 12:56 PM @NathanOliver :P Yeah, that one. easwee @NathanOliver are there any stats for "eyes lost per graduation ceremony"? NathanOliver lol. I don;t think there is but it wouldn't surprise me if someone had something. @KevinGuan I am not sure on that. From what I can tell Jupyter is a programming related tool. Tim Castelijns jupyter Kevin Guan 1:10 PM @NathanOliver For me, if we can't help OP on code, then it's off-topic. Unless some people see that question and trying to help OP...maybe there's a meta post. Tim Castelijns if we can't help OP on code, then it's off-topic i disagree Kevin Guan So? And why? NathanOliver @KevinGuan That is not correct. If I have a problem is Microsoft Visual Studio that is not code related it is still okay to post on SO. Here is an example of one such question. Also from the help on what is on topic > software tools commonly used by programmers; and is Kevin Guan Ah, also we have vim tag here...fair enough. But I still need find a meta post which gives some explain on that point. Searching... Sam @MrsEd Yeah That's a known issue Kevin Guan 1:15 PM @Sam alive Sam @gunr's working on it Tunaki Hey @Sam Sam Hey Kevin Guan Is alive of Sam's commands broken? Sam Plot twist: it never existed. Kevin Guan 1:17 PM Oh, @Sam commands. rene Is just a link to an github issue enough attribution or is that over the edge of plagiarism? Cerbrus Depends on the rest of the answer Sam @KevinGuan Nope. rene @Cerbrus it copies the issue verbatim without any further additions Kevin Guan This isn't spam but too broad right? stackoverflow.com/questions/34134527/… @Sam :( rene 1:19 PM @Cerbrus it start with maybe this will help link to issue, verbatim copy of github issue Cerbrus Looks like a link-only answer, then Kinda hard to judge without context rene yeah, don't want to link here Cerbrus @KevinGuan I flagged it for off-topic NathanOliver @rene I have seen it go both ways. Does it answer the question? Kevin Guan @Cerbrus Fine, closed now. DavidG 1:23 PM @TimCastelijns On to more important things... have you done todays (and the 2 from weekend) challenge? Tim Castelijns I have done 5.1 but not the rest </ashamed> Tunaki @DavidG not todays but the 2 from the week-end yes NathanOliver @DavidG Thanks for the reminder. I have to do those Tim Castelijns @DavidG someone did 5.1 and 5.2 in less than 2 minutes total :/ DavidG @TimCastelijns Really?! How do you know? Tunaki 1:25 PM @TimCastelijns I'd like to take a look at this code though, it must be pretty ugly Tim Castelijns You see the leaderboards, they show the top 100 fastest Takes me like at least 15 mins to do the first part only :p Tunaki Can anybody make heads or tails of this answer? stackoverflow.com/a/34134688/1743880 DavidG @TimCastelijns Same for me I think, 2nd part was annoying. Yesterday took me maybe 7/8 mins for both though rene @NathanOliver I flagged for a mod, thanks NathanOliver @rene np Tunaki 1:28 PM @DavidG I guess that answers my question :D I don't think it is spam or offensive though NathanOliver I flagged as VLQ DavidG @Tunaki But it is gibberish and as per Shog's response we can flag it as spam. Or 1 more delete vote and it's gone anyway. Cerbrus sd deleted Oh, 9 minutes too late :P Tim Castelijns At least you tried :) It's the thought that counts NathanOliver → 36 messages moved to CV Request Graveyard Madara Uchiha 1:46 PM @NathanOliver You missed one Tim Castelijns @DavidG did you use regex for 5.2? DavidG @TimCastelijns Er... can't remember now but I don't think so. I do remember that the code was evil. Haven't kept it as it's on my home computer. NathanOliver @MadaraUchiha Yeah it came in after the script started. Tim Castelijns Looks like a job for regex, but I've never used regex Madara Uchiha @NathanOliver I see, it traverses up the transcript instead of down? NathanOliver 1:50 PM @MadaraUchiha I think it goes from newest to oldest but I haven't actually checked that. rene and tiny wrote it. DavidG @MadaraUchiha raw.githubusercontent.com/Tiny-Giant/myuserscripts/master/… (if you are bored!) Tunaki @TimCastelijns I used regex also it solves it in one line easwee I used grep for both but had to ask for regex for second wasted to much time trying by myself :P DavidG gerp supports regex right? easwee yep Tunaki 1:53 PM grep -E easwee yeah so you don't have to escape rene grep all the things and run.... DavidG I lused to ove grep but rarely get to use it on my windows box easwee I use ubuntu so it's kinda daily use Tunaki You're lucky, I use AIX And goddamn DavidG 1:55 PM I have it on my box here, it's just Windows doesn't really encourage that sort of actions @Tunaki Holy crap, I don't think I've used that since 1996 Tunaki AIX is just a pile of crap, it looks like a normal Linux but it isn't Kevin Guan Ah, sleep time now. Night :) NathanOliver Later rene @Tunaki Wait, we are talking about the IBM product, right? You pay big bucks and it comes with consultants? Tunaki @rene That's right, but we don't have any consultants We just have to work with the stuff. Documentation is sparse, if it exists at all rene 2:01 PM I've never used an IBM product that didn't require consultants. They were as flabbergasted as I was with what ever happened Tunaki I don't get why people use this stuff. Expensive, no docs, practically no help on the internet and when you find a Linux command that does what you want, you eventually find out AIX doesn't support that specific command-line option... like grep -E, or -A, and whatnot or even grep -r easwee depressing maybe try egrep rene That is their selling point. We make things simple. The commands and options they don't understand are left out of their products. Tunaki wot, no that doesn't exist on AIX easwee some dists support it only as separate binary Tunaki 2:06 PM if you want to do a recursive grep, you have to invoke some "find" magic I never remember vi is the worst though, I won't get into that but OMFG if you want to lose all your hair, try using it (quick note: up / down arrows don't work in insert mode and mess up with your file, yeah) OK, end of the rant :D easwee I tried vi once because I wanted to feel it - I felt like a retard Tim Castelijns @DavidG 5-2 gist.github.com/TimCastelijns/7cbc57049efbcef7bf92 I really think regex could have helped me Tunaki @TimCastelijns Yes DavidG vi is awesome! easwee egrep '(..).*\1' input | egrep '(.).\1' | wc DavidG 2:17 PM @TimCastelijns That's pretty compact still easwee this was second part solution with grep - not my code :P Tim Castelijns I think so, but barely readable Tunaki @easwee Ha I have the same regex easwee I peeked into answers after 5 hours of struggle I can't count as solved that one :P Rizier123 They changed something, it looks different. easwee 2:19 PM font is smaller? NathanOliver @Rizier123 font size looks smaller Rizier123 yup + the rep is thicker approxiblue stackoverflow.com/review/close/stats easwee seems darker too in color Tunaki yes they just changed the CSS approxiblue 2:19 PM does the CSS look broken to everyone? Tunaki I refreshed an old tab and you can see the difference approxiblue name on a new line after the avatar Rizier123 @approxiblue They messed up :P I bet someone will post a meta post about this in the next few minutes Tunaki for sure "Why is the rep in bold?" Tim Castelijns @DavidG 6-1 looks challenging Tunaki 2:22 PM Ha it's broken on late answer mod tool NathanOliver It looks like the bold switched from the answered time to the rep. Just finsihed 5.1 and 5.2. starting 6.1 DavidG @TimCastelijns I thought that was easy, did both parts in 7 minutes I think Tunaki There's a line break before the username and rep OK it's broken everywhere Tim Castelijns 2:34 PM @DavidG reading the puzzle took me 10 minutes Tunaki @Unihedron vlq is not a close reason Unihedron @Tunaki thanks for sharing DavidG @Unihedron Well you did ask us to close-vote when you meant flag. Cerbrus sd deleted NathanOliver 6.1 and 6.2 finished Tim Castelijns 2:44 PM 6.1 executing atm Thaillie Is this one POB? stackoverflow.com/questions/34136239/… Tim Castelijns Done - got it right :) took a little longer than 7 mins, david NathanOliver @Thaillie meh. I wouldn't vote on it but I am not going to say you shouldn't Tim Castelijns My code is looping 300 million times though, can probably be done better Paul Roub @Thaillie I'd say it's arguably Too Broad, but not opinion-based. OP is looking for actual issues that might arise from this approach. JAL 2:54 PM hey all Thaillie @JAL Plop o/ NathanOliver Hey Tunaki Hey Kyll Plop @JAL. Fancy some MGE before TF2 Tuesday tomorrow? Cerbrus @Thaillie . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabouter_Plop JAL 2:59 PM @Kyll Not sure what I'm doing tonight, but if I'm not at work too late then sure Kyll @JAL Tomorrow though, I don't have a good enough network to play today JAL ok I should be free tomorrow Kyll Yay, when could you start? NathanOliver I don't have an idea on where to start on 7.1 Tim Castelijns My 6.2 is wrong and no clue why Tunaki 3:05 PM @TimCastelijns (hint, the minimum is 0) JAL @Kyll Not sure, maybe 5 PM Eastern? I'll have to let you know Tunaki We talked about it, it happened: meta.stackoverflow.com/q/311890/1743880 Rizier123 yup :P NathanOliver Its like we are prophetic ;) Tim Castelijns @Tunaki thanks - think I have it now, but I need to wait 5 mins :( Paul Roub 3:15 PM ^^ edited, but still a Tool Request gunr2171 morning! NathanOliver Hey Tim Castelijns @Tunaki I don't go below 0 but still wrong Kyll Plop! Tunaki Hey DavidG 3:16 PM I really want to find a close reason for this post haha stackoverflow.com/questions/34136228/… Tunaki @TimCastelijns Hmm that was my mistake on my first try Thaillie Hey @gunr2171 NathanOliver @TimCastelijns Did you remember that "toggle" increases by 2 Sam Hey Tim Castelijns Yeah I probably have some dumb mistake. I removed the loops from part 1 and just kept track of 1 brightness number, running a new try now with the loops back in place but added the negative brightness check now Yeah that was it - thanks for the tip JAL 3:22 PM If I get "-2 user was removed" does that mean a suggested edit I made was deleted? Tunaki a user that last approved an edit you made was removed JAL makes sense Tim Castelijns @NathanOliver tip for 7: LSHIFT x by 1 is the same as x^2 DavidG @TimCastelijns And the reverse is x^0.5 Tim Castelijns I meant to say x*2 Tunaki 3:25 PM @DavidG I so want to edit it and remove the smiley at the end :) Rizier123 @Tunaki next one coming in: meta.stackoverflow.com/q/311891/3933332 NathanOliver afk Tunaki @Rizier123 technically it's not a duplicate since it is talking about a different page but the answer will be the same so I voted to close well it's gone now @DavidG So many badges it line-wraps DavidG @Tunaki There's a meta bug post about that somewhere. Tunaki @DavidG I think it's the new CSS, before it was hidden it overflowed on the right (if I remember correctly) DavidG 3:32 PM @Tunaki You could be right there. It's a simple fix though Looks like it's cause due to a CSS width being too much on .user-info .user-details. Reduce it from 147px to 143px and it's OK, though I expect it was widened for somewhere else in the site. — DavidG 2 mins ago Thaillie @DavidG . meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/284176/… Tunaki just noticed, the width above and below the score is larger Rizier123 Is there a dupe for: stackoverflow.com/q/34137319/3933332 ?
