2:14 AM
checks out Battlefield 3 single player... bored and annoyed within 10 minutes.
 
3:00 AM
@Fosco Heh.
Will Battlefield 3 run on a MacBook with NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB graphics?
 
3:58 AM
@Moshe I don't think so...
 
Hey Fosco do you know why I don't see comment flags in my flag history?

Q: My little pony friendship is magic: Pony ages

razpeitiaWhat is the actual age of the following ponies: Twilight Sparkle Pinky Pie Rarity Apple Jack Rainbow Dash Fluttershy Princess Luna Princess Celestia Granny Smith So lets add some constraints: They live on their own. Fluttershy is one year older than Pinky Pie. Princess Luna were banished to...

My Little Pony has invaded Sci-Fi!
 
I guess it is Sci-Fi
shrugs
 
 
2 hours later…
6:20 AM
@Hogan I haven't the foggiest idea, sorry.
 
 
9 hours later…
2:50 PM
Are my eyes lying to me or is the inbox box blurred?
 
No, but the shock of reading, "Could the Enterprise beam a vampire into a house she didn’t have permission to enter?" has affected your vision.

@Shog9 I didn't even read that line
@Shog9 now really, don't you think it's blurred?
 
No
 
It's clear here ... hmm
 
you zoomed in?
 
2:54 PM
ctrl + scoll, yes
It looks more clear when zoomed in
 
ok, so after sitting here with the real page and the screenshot stacked and flipping back and forth a dozen times, I do see a certain softness to the text
can't imagine why though; obviously it doesn't happen for me
 
@Shog9 exactly, nor for me. It started just few minutes ago
Do you think that's a good idea to post it as a bug?
 
I can't see any blurring. What exactly is supposed to be blurred? The text?
 
@Pekka yeah. Look at those 2 pictures I have posted, (open them in new tab) and switch between them few times. You'll see the blurred text
 
@genesis Not unless you can reproduce it. What browser + version + OS?
 
3:01 PM
It's gone now :/
 
then definitely no ;-P
 
Mmm, I can see that the Stack Exchange logo is blurred in the zoomed version, but that is to be expected (and I don't think that's what you mean)
Other than that, I can't really see a problem.
@genesis Strange. Maybe some rendering fluke... no idea
 
and... it'S back
 
Are you using Chrome?
 
it's possible you already had the page scaled slightly - really slightly. Next time you see it, hit Ctrl+0 right away
 
3:02 PM
In other news: Beaming a vampire from the Enterprise? Finding out the age of My Little Pony characters? What the balls is going on over at Scifi.stackexchange.com?
 
Its clear on main site
 
But I guess that's just how they roll...
 
@Pekka Dark things. Very dark things indeed.
 
@TimStone I'm
 
@Shog9 yeah. That's scary.
@genesis The dropdown looks 100% identical to me when switching between Meta and the main site. Down to the last pixel. (Chrome 15, Windows 7)
Are you using any other apps in the background that might fiddle with WIndows' ClearType settings? (Provided you are on Windows)
 
3:05 PM
@Pekka try to open dropdown here
 
If you're using Chrome, text display issues are almost always Skia's fault, so just /blame Skia and be done with it. It's not a Stack Exchange bug, at any rate.
 
@genesis oh, indeed! I see a blurring, too.
But not on the Meta main page.
 
@Pekka horaaay
 
That's really weird.
 
@TimStone How is that possible?
 
3:06 PM
?
 
@TimStone is it known Chrome bug?
 
I have the suspicion it has to do with the drop-down being on top of an image.
 
@Pekka yeah, exactly my thinking
I have been scared my mum has got the truth.
 
@genesis what, that you're crazy? That might still be true. ;)
 
@Pekka no, that I'll be once blind if I use PC a lot
 
3:09 PM
Chrome uses Skia as its visual rendering engine, and sometimes it makes weird decisions about anti-aliasing. But, for what it's worth, I can't reproduce this issue on Chrome dev / Windows 7.
 
No-repro on Firefox. I think this is indeed a Chrome rendering issue.
@genesis ah!
 
@Pekka OT: Was my "I have been scared" question grammatically correct?
 
Related, in the "Skia does weird stuff sometimes" sense: Did the Stack Overflow theme become bolder?.

@TimStone hmm, good to know
 
I still don't see it, even on that post, even in Chrome. But then, my Chrome is like a week or two out of date, so presumably everything's different now.
 
3:14 PM
I'm on 15.0.874.106 m
 
Ah, see, I'm on 14.0.835.202
I'd update, but... Meh.
 
I'm on 17.0.928.0 with no repro.
pings @RebeccaChernoff :o
 
@TimStone why?
 
I need to ask her something that I think she'll know the answer to.
 
@TimStone ah
 
3:25 PM
yeah, why? Maybe I'm here. Maybe I'm not.
 
:P
 
Generic response @RebeccaChernoff activated!
 
:)
 
I'm fixing Data Explorer test cases and there's one called TestUserNameExtrapolation which fails, but I don't know if it's testing for how the process is actually supposed to work now, or not.
 
hmm, don't think I've ever looked at that one
 
3:28 PM
I guess the actual question is how a user's login name is supposed to be determined, which I thought there might be a chance of you knowing since you had poked the OpenID code not that long ago, yeah?
If not I'll just dive into the code, figured asking would save me a bit of time if you knew.
 
I was just making sure openids were normalized... http://blah.com and https://blah.com were being treated as different openids, different user accounts, etc.
 
Ah, mmk
unpings My bad :P
 
it wouldn't surprise me if there's a bug there, on my account for myopenid, it creates an account with the default jon.doe...and I think I saw a bug report on mso about login being a jon.doe username
 
Yeah, the test case seems to fail because the created user becomes a jon.doe instead of what it expects them to become. Looking at it I doubt it's anything to do with you, though (no blame this time!).
 
no idea why you thought this would go well with you blaming me...but... q:
2
 
3:34 PM
To be fair, I wasn't blaming you, just thought that you would know what the test should actually be testing for. :P
 
well, I havent opened the project to look, but it sounds like a test we want to pass, aye.
 
Well, we want all the tests to pass ;)
 
@genesis not entirely - "I was scared" would be more fitting
 
@Pekka Thanks. I hate present perfect vs past simple
 
 
4 hours later…
7:40 PM
StackOverflow mentioned on slashdot: developers.slashdot.org/story/11/11/06/1526249/…
The article talks about language representation on stackoverflow.
Interesting stats.

Q: Link to "view reputation changes" from user page (under user image) has incorrect underline position

ShahbazSimple bug: You go to your user profile, under the image there is your reputation which links to reputation changes (something like this: http://askubuntu.com/users/*****/*******?tab=reputation However, when you hover over that number (your reputation, under your image, in your profile), it is...

Just wanted to let you know.
 
@SankarGanesh Sorry, I'm not sure what the issue might be.
@OctavianDamiean Heh, that's interesting..
 
@TimStone: ok mate
@OctavianDamiean: Hi mate , can you pls go ahead the above postings of mine
 
@TimStone Ask Ubuntu seems to be the only site (the only one I have found so far) that has this CSS rule.
 
Oh, AskUbuntu has another CSS bug..
 
Right. Good catch. :D
 
8:39 PM
Hmm, I wonder which browser is right in this case, let's see..
 
8:52 PM
I'm fairly certain that Firefox (and Opera, to a lesser extent) aren't playing by the rules, but that part of the page is pretty messy to begin with, so I'm not surprised.
 
I'm not quite sure I really understand why that rule is in there in the first place.
 
I can't see a good reason for it, so dropping it seems like the sanest approach.
Things get really weird because the .summarycount span had a different font-size than the surrounding link that's actually responsible for the underline. Ideally the span should disappear too, and the class should just be applied to the link, but.
