4:04 AM
not sure if i should vote on the math.se elections
 
4:18 AM
Good Morning :)
 
4:52 AM
Good night folks!
 
Hi Moshe
How are you/
 
5:34 AM
Person is abusing me in chat room.As I am suspended,I am not able to flag his message what to do?
in PHP on Stack Overflow Chat, 14 mins ago, by xcoder
@ManjotSingh, put off the fucking dress u r wearing. Be normal human being
 
I flagged it for you.
 
Thank you, I don't know him then why did he behave like that?
 
That's a good question, I have no idea what his problem is.
 
leave,say how are you?
 
I'm doing alright, though I should start working again soon.
 
5:40 AM
On which technology you work?
 
I work on many things. But what I'm going to work on right this second is some JavaScript for a web application.
 
Oh great.
I am working on blackberry.
now my boss is saying to try to learn PHP also
because I need to make webservices to work on backend.
Do you have any idea of webservices in JSON format?
 
That's kind of a general question. :)
 
means you know or what?
 
Well, yes.
 
5:51 AM
I started with iPhone app development then Android and now Blackberry and about to start webservices in JSON format in PHP.
Is it okay to work on multi-things or to work on single technology?
 
That really depends on the person. It's probably better to be skilled in one language than only have a basic understanding of many languages, though.
 
I am worried if I'll switch my company what will I say in which domain I am having expertise/
But for survival I am doing multi-things and you can I am not having expertise not on single tech. but having basic or beginner level knowledge.
 
Yeah, that can be a problem. You can always learn more about a language if you decide you like one more than the others, though.
 
I am flummoxed.
I can not refuse my boss for work, rather he is providing resources.
 
morning
 
6:00 AM
Hi Octavian,Good Morning.
How are you?
15 mins ago, by Tim Stone
I work on many things. But what I'm going to work on right this second is some JavaScript for a web application.
Tim, you are also working on many things.
Please advice me, what would be a best approach or some midway?
 
 
2 hours later…
7:39 AM
I'm less than impressed with meta's front page right now
 
what changed?
 
8:00 AM
@GeorgeEdison one word: woah. I guess this was the guy Jeff referred to in yesterday's podcast about having to call someone?
@MichaelMrozek I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
 
wow
that is extreme
 
?
oh.. and : hi!
 
@tombull89 Sorry, I meant the newest question list. Jeff deleted some now, but at the time the 7 newest posts were all < 0, and 5 had close votes
 
@OctavianDamiean "Because of a court order (injunction), I was taken off line for three years (2006-2009). " wut.
 
8:04 AM

ooo Evan Carroll philosophies. This should be good.
 
It's on his site homepage. evancarroll.com
I think this whole thing was before I joined SE.

Question, can someone read correctly the code section in this question :

Q: Implications of the rule of cumulativity in the Calculus of Constructions

AnthonyPlease help me understand some type theory research. As suggested in "Type Checking with Universes" by Robert Harper and Robert Pollack, we can add the following rule to our otherwise standard COC or PTS type inference rules. Γ ⊢ M : Typeᵢ ⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼ (Cumulativity) Γ ⊢ M : Type₍ᵢ₊₁₎ ...

I've UTF-8 enconding on my browser, but it seems I'm missing something else
Maybe a font?

works fine.
 
I'm set on : DejaVu font with a allow site to use their own fonts.
 
Bitstream Charter font with UTF-8 encoding
 
8:44 AM
anyone has an idea of json parsing in J2ME or blackberry?
 
use a JSON parser
 
You should really really try asking question on SO rather the spamming questions in a MSO room...
 
I don't have access to ask question on SO tombull89.
even I don't have access in chat rooms on SO.
 
@ManjotSingh you don't?
I thought the 30 day ban was just chat. Ah well.
 
8:48 AM
No, I got a message "Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions from this account. See goo.gl/C1Kwu to learn more."

@OctavianDamiean : are you on MacOS?
 
I am using Mac OS X
 
nope I'm not ;)
I'd never do that

Well so that's not an OS problem.
By the way @OctavianDamiean what kind of character does it displays?
 
Wow.

A: What Experts-Exchange thinks of Stack Overflow

mbarbirAs Experts-Exchange's resident historian, I'd like to put our story in context, introduce some of the human beings referenced, and put things in an accurate sequence: Experts Exchange was developed in 1996 by Clint Staley, a California Polytechnic State University, computer science professor in ...

poterhow much amount stack-overflow pay, if i m selected as a moderator? Currency in what? Note:- Let us think i Have allots of reputation !!

 
9:11 AM
is it appropriate to post face-palm pictures?
 
Yes.
 
Nah I don't know. It would be a bit offensive I think.
 
My OCD wants me to edit that question out.
 
You can facepalm.jpg now: @tombull89 how much the total population of the world uses this site? – poter
 
9:18 AM
I did
 
9:36 AM
@Mvy I had changed the entire post to use LaTeX instead, then I lost all my changes due to a stupid reload button.
 
Well... do you know with what it's typed with @badpssockpuppet?
 
I did convert everything, so yes.
 
Is that some font that comes with some piece of software or ?
Can't find any clue on this one :P
 
What's in there?
 
9:41 AM
@tombull89 and how many of thosse Have allots of reputation !!?
 
"Mobile Accessary", apparently.
 
package from HK, review copy of Mugen Extended battery for the Nexus S
@tombull89 heh worth at $10 :p (it's actual price is ten times as much)
 
@badpssockpuppet I see you edited it.
Now it don't make my eyes bleed as much.
 
Somehow you're going to blame me for that still

9:45 AM
I've already flagged it

a few hours ago
 
700 rep short on VTC :(
 
Would be nice if Non-SO Mods had some powers on MSO.
 
Non-SO mods?
 
@Mvy SU, .stackexchange.com et al
earlier, any moderator on the trilogy would also be a moderator on MSO. That's no longer applicable
 
9:57 AM
oh right

Q: how can make sockpuppet ?

poterI want to use sock puppet ? But i don't no how to use sockpuppet ?can any one provide me the details about sockpuppet Please?

XD XD XD XD XD
 
@Mvy I'm confused by what you mean by "font"
 
LOLWUT.
Noise or pointless is no longer close reason ? :-(
 
Well @badpssockpuppet in the current state of the post, i just can read squares instead of mathematical letters (see the image provided by tombull89)
@Sathya marked it off-topic.
 
not constructive here.
 
@Mvy also what's his gravatar changed to?
 
10:02 AM
he's changing it @tombull89
 
@tombull89 who's? poter?
 
yeah.
 
Next time I'm flagging for migration to acting.SE

@badpssockpuppet >_<
 
lol !
 
10:05 AM
He's edtited the post but I don't understand what he's trying to say.
"Closed because USER IS A FREAKING MORON. or a Troll."
 
Did he made a rollback by editing a second time?
 
Trolololol
 
I think he means "if a moderator asks a question then he only gets upvotes otherwise it's all downvotes!"
 
"Flag as: moronic"
 
but that'd require him to discover I am a mod on some other site, which isn't trivial!
I'm prolly giving him too much credit
 
11:00 AM
good god. Every time I read(guess) through certain rooms I fear to get eye cancer. I hate text-speak.
do you know the feeling when your back itches and you just can't reach the spot?
 
yesterday, by Benjol
@tombull89 Instant bans for people using i instead of I :)
@OctavianDamiean agree.
and :-) in questions
 
and of course the excessive (ab)use of punctuation where not appropriate.
 
I like the premise:

A: Getting -1 as a result from web service

Octavian DamieanA negative return value or status value generally indicates that something went wrong or that it is not the expected result. It heavily depends on the web service implementation so there is probably no way to really tell what exactly went wrong. You'll have to consult the documentation of the AP...

A: Taking screenshots of deleted answers on meta sites is considered bad behavior?

ChangelingI think the user in question needs a hug. There have been plenty of times where screenshots have been posted of deleted questions. Probably should go back and blur out the name. At some point, someone should have taken the high road between you and him. It seems emotions got the best of both of y...

**I think the user in question needs a hug. **
LOL
> Example: I have a problem with my car. I call my mechanic and tell him that I have a problem with my car. He asks me what car I drive and I tell him that it is a car with four wheels. Do you think that the information helped the mechanic? – Octavian Damiean 28 mins ago
@OctavianDamiean for the win :D
 
Well, at least the mechanic know it isn't a Reliant Robin.
 
lol true
 
12:51 PM
and it rules-out a 6-wheel hummer
 
oh boy that even exists?
oh it really does ... god is that thing ugly.
 
But it could be grease lightning XD
 
beep beep coming through
 
yea ugly as the night dark
 
I'd want one just to see people faces. But it would have to have a hydrogen fuel cell or something like that in it otherwise it would drink fuel like anything.
 
12:57 PM
it would? it already does with only four wheels
 
I meant hummer full stop, not necessarily a 6 wheeled one.
 
1:08 PM
LOL that's funny I can star post in android room even if I do not have voice :D
 
yup
why don't you have write access?
 
Never requested it
BTW I mostly logged into it cause event in that room tends to affect topics here

thx
 
Lol at the "Haters of jQuery" room.

I'm not a programmer, that's not fair.

oh Trufa, what a shiny avatar. :)
 
@OctavianDamiean hehe thanks? there is surprinsigly few artwork here google.com.uy/…

that sounds annoying
 
1:43 PM

and even reseted the computer
with no luck

@OctavianDamiean no, havent switched yet back, I'm still on 11.04 but with gnome
 
that sounds even more interesting then, I'd ask that on AU, never had that problem
 
ok, I'll poke around google a little bit more
and ask if I can't find
thanks!
 
1:50 PM
oh, tons of status-completed tags, nice Ben :)
 
2:05 PM
haha, brilliant. Question: Plz give me teh code. Closed 5 mins later.
 
Surprising it lasted 5 minutes..
 
@tombull89 literally say that?
 
I've slacked off majorly since hitting 10k... actually focusing on work ;)

Q: How to transfer iPad music in iTunes by xcode?

sandy_iphoneIn my apps I want to transfer my iPad music to iTunes but I did not get any sample code or any code. Please some one give me any code or any sample code. Thanks in advance.

@Trufa near as damn it :P
 
@Fosco hehe untill you get close to 20k
@tombull89 ahh that was close!
 
2:08 PM
@Trufa Right you are..
 
@Fosco My next milestone is not so thrilling :(

I'd say that's an awesome milestone.

Q: Simple time tracker for Windows?

OverTheRainbowI'd like a small Windows application (not web-based) that sits in the icon bar and keep track of time I spend on different projects by providing a simple interface. Unless there's a real need for them, I don't need more features than a list of project, a Start/Stop button, and some reporting so ...

Looks like "list me some products that do X and Y" to me. Equivalent to a shopping rec, really.
 
@OctavianDamiean python's ternary operator is 2<x<5 right?

Q: What version of python was this syntax added

user583507I know it is possible to put an If/Else statement all on one line, similar to this. [True if 1 else False] What version of python was this added?

see the first comment to the question?
 
3:00 PM
Ohh, that was just nonsense of my part
@OctavianDamiean sort of solved my problem with the gnome panel
 
3:20 PM
stackoverflow.com/questions/6373662/… <-- some people just don't get it "please explain this some more"
 
 
1 hour later…
4:23 PM
CNN
Former New York Giant David Tyree stated that passing the New York State’s same-sex bill would "be the beginning of our country sliding toward ... anarchy." See why he decided to speak out against this issue
why does he have any sort of credibility on the issue of same-sex marriage law?
Did I miss something about lawmakers responsibilities?
 
@jcolebrand I totally agree.
 
@Trufa I don't know of a real ternary operator like in Java. The only thing I know is the conditional statement like blah = x if x>y else y
 
@OctavianDamiean java supports "?:" operator, afaik
 
Java does indeed, he was asking about Python
 
4:39 PM
oooh, I misread that, sorry
I imagine the answer was "added in 2.5"
 
5:09 PM
true if cond else false is the standard Python way. You can also do {True: true, False: false}[cond], but it's longer and fails at short-circuiting
 
oh didn't know about the second version
 
5:31 PM
@OctavianDamiean ohh yeah I'll catch up on my readin about this, thanks
Forgive me but this is horrible
 
@MichaelMrozek one would figure.
Thanks
Really, from a marketing point of view (disregarding the aesthetics)
Its just plain wrong
 
6:24 PM
Does the question quality filter check for length of a question? Apparently one liner questions aren't allowed.
 
I think that is a separate thing. It needs to be at least 30 characters. I might be wrong though.
 
I second that.
 
Well, my question has been improved by that rule.
 
thats the way it should be :)
 
@Moshe I may be wrong but I really doubt a one line can be a good question.
A little bit of background
1 line
Youre situation
+1
Your expected result
+1
sumup
+1
If it is a really simple question.
 
6:36 PM
well sometimes there are valid and even good oneliner questions but it is rare
 
@OctavianDamiean we agree. But it is rare.

A: Pickle linked objects

jterraceMy previous answer was missing your point. The problem with your code is that you're not using the Pickler and Unpickler objects. Here's a working version with multiple dump calls: import pickle class Foo(object): pass foo = Foo() bar = Foo() bar.foo_ref = foo f = open('tmp.pkl', 'wb') p ...

A: Pickle linked objects

jterraceIf you pickle them together, the pickle module keeps track of references and only pickles the foo variable once. Can you pickle both foo and bar together, like this? import pickle class Foo(object): pass foo = Foo() bar = Foo() bar.foo_ref = foo with open('tmp.pkl', 'wb') as f: pickle...

 
I have to leave now, but if anybody has the time, please tell the user about editing and improving

techcrunch.com/2011/06/13/why-groupon-is-poised-for-collapse <-- how is Groupon not a pyramid scheme again?
 
@jcolebrand Error: Damn not given. I'm tired of seeing those shitty adverts everywhere.
 
what shitty adverts?
for groupon?
 
7:59 PM
@jcolebrand Nobody but Groupon profits?
 
there is that apparently
 
This is amazing... I did not know how groupon works... why in the world would anyone do this?
Clearly it is all about good sales people.
 
8:22 PM
@Hogan I believe it worked fairly well with a relatively new local restaurant. $25 for $50 worth of food, where avg bill for 2 people is > $100. Got lots of people who didn't know it existed and liked it in.
Why they recently did the same Groupon deal again completely baffles me. You don't want to train people who were already planning to come back to wait for the deal.
 
@mootinator Ah but that is different than the deals described in those articles. If the avg bill is >$100 when they are only giving a %25 discount at most on the standard cost.
In the examples they were giving over 100% because they had to pay all of the money to groupon AND the deal was more than most people would spend (thus they lost more on overhead than a standard person coming in the store.)
 
8:58 PM
be nice if groupon expanded areas a little more
