Q: Why am I being bullied on Earth.SE

MewEnergyNumbers, who has only made 1 original contribution to this site apart from hundreds of close votes, and a few mysterious close voters who happen to all vote within a few hours of EnergyNumber's votes, have voted to close half of my questions for being too basic. This is fine, but I conside...

 
Private beta causes meta links to redirect to main site for login
 
Hey
 
@3ventic Oh, huh.
I just want to say that closing isn't personal, and explain why we close questions.
 
sorry; was confused by a redirect to the main site

Q: What is the purpose of closing a question?

PraveenHaving been a member of Stack Overflow for a year, I have participated in reviewing close votes and flagging questions if I found any duplicates. However, I don't understand the purpose of closing a question. As per myself, the main purpose is keeping the site clean and make a better place. ...

That one?
(It's duped to the FAQ about closing)
 
Yep. Thanks!
 
It's not really a duplicate though
 
I would soften the automated deletion rules towards doing more automated deletion.

A: Why am I being bullied on Earth.SE

hichris123There's a large difference between bullying and close votes. Closing on Stack Exchange is meant to identify questions that aren't on-topic or can be made better so they're answerable. Closing isn't a personal attack against you. Stack Exchange is supposed to be a place where experts get togeth...

My dearest meta, now it is a better time to hack than asking a question on you, but I could not resist but asking you the question "what will happen if a 500 pound woman start riding a handsome fit unicorn?"

Surely if the fairy cares about the unicorn, she can carry Susanne Eman herself ...
 
5:04 AM
How dare you question the strength of a Unicorn @telkitty.exe? Unicorns are always exactly as strong as they need to be.
 
user202362
I have never seen even one morbid obese woman riding an unicorn, not even ONE!!!
 
user202362
Have you?

Do you know what that means?

Q: how to convert string to int in Java

user3540132I m working on Caesar cipher example in which I want that it get different keys from user and finally one key decrypt the original text , but I got a problem, here is my code public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner user_input= new Scanner(System.in); String plainText = "Univer...

^ CV please duplicate of stackoverflow.com/questions/5585779/… (before anybody else answers).
And make sure you get the String => Int dupe, not the other way around...
 
And done
 
@telkitty.exe That unicorn's a powerhouse (as most unicorns are), I don't think it will have a problem with 500 lbs.
 
user202362
you need to re-order the pictures ... the last one was supposed to be in the front ...
 
@BlueIce ^ :'''(
 
So @telkitty.exe now has started to troll Unicorns? Nothing good can come of this.
 
user202362
5:46 AM
Troll unicorns? Never!
 
user202362
I was thinking more along the lines of grilled unicorns, served medium with lobster tail, fresh garden salad (lettuce, tomato, cucmber & onion with italian dressing) & buttered potato With sparkling Rosé as matching wine, oysters as entré & butter cream cake as dessert
 
user202362
Or if you don't want to be so complicated - butter unicorn (the same way butter chicken is cooked), served with stir fried veges and green tea

please reject the edit on this answer: stackoverflow.com/a/23178688/2682142
OK, it was rejected, but can someone tell me if it is possible to get direct links to those somehow?
 
6:25 AM
@LaszloPapp it should be possible with a script; not sure if it's possible normally from the question page
 
Mat
@LaszloPapp: right-click on the "edit (1)" link
 
ok, thanks.

Q: Get changed file names from QFileSystemWatcher directoryChanged event

Stalin doesn't get the filewatching right, so he is not in full control...
 
I think Putin will know the answer...

7:59 AM
I hate the "code" indent for long lines. Quote indent is way way better.
Is there a "code" indent which can break long lines properly?
 
Not automatically...assuming you mean on SO
 
yes
 
On c#/vb.net/vb and maybe java/c and c++ I'm pretty sure where I can add a line break without introducing compiler errors. For language where whitespace is significant like Python ans Haskell I won't touch code. I guess the same would be true if you have an automatic line-breaker. Similar to prettify: 90% of the time it is correctly highlighting.
 
8:16 AM
you could break lines in python, too, it just needs some intelligence.
 
The intelligence part makes it hard to do automaticaly I guess...
 
yes, but it would be cool :)
 
We agree on that...

@rene stop dragging me into fights ... sigh ...
 
Bart is cruel
 
@Bart you're welcome...
 
Lenient healers create stinking wounds @LaszloPapp. There you go. A Dutch proverb for you on this Sunday. You're welcome. ;)
 
@michaelb958 Reading that sentence gave me an OBE, wow!
 
9:26 AM
Now I'm tempted to rewrite that question into an overly polite version just to screw with the OP .... I shall refrain.
 
9:37 AM
@rene What's an OBE?
 
Just read a few lines up in the one-box of area51 what you linked...
 
Ohhhh.
 
9:55 AM
There seems to be no general SO chat now. Any objections to me making one?
 
What!
It's kinda funny that we all got swept over to the MSE Tavern. The SO one is missing all the regulars here.
 
Oh boy
 
I pointed out to him that he needed to add his requirements, read the help center, improve his question before posting on SR... sigh...
 
10:02 AM
So you told him to just post his question on SR?
Sorry, couldn't be bothered to read the rest of what you just said.
 
I'm used to that..feels like I'm at work...
 
Hehe
 
10:18 AM
Am I the only one around here who does not actively use SO?
 
Yes, it's just you. Only you. All alone.
 
@3ventic I don't spend much time on it these days.
 
Manishearth also isn't insanely active over there. But given that this came from MSO, the SO participation is rather high.
 
I think I pasted this already, but it still needs two close votes: stackoverflow.com/questions/23173576/inflate-zip-files-in-qt
 
SO sucks I'd never use that crappy web site. I can't even indent my code blocks.
 
10:24 AM
I know of a proposed faq that might help you @JasonC
 
@Bart I saw it. It sucks. I don't read duplicate FAQ posts.

Send the same message to two rooms, why don't you? :P
 
Oh you and your fancy ways
 
oh, this room was moved to SE. :O
 
@Bart Someone's got to offset your ridiculously high non-fanciness; might as well be me.
 
Yep
 
10:50 AM
let us create a tavern on MSO :D
 
@LaszloPapp We've got an SO one; is that close enough?
 
ok, bye from here then
 
No...we need you here as well...
You can be in two rooms simultaneously
 
11:30 AM
And just like that, everyone's gone to Tavern on the Main.
 
Nah, we're still here
 
...is that a good thing?
 
Was it ever?
 
Well, at least that frees up this tavern for a complete lack of anything productive at all.
 
Win-win

Hmmm, the comment score heat color progresses from grey to orange to red, then suddenly at around +15 turns blue
Probably a minor bug
 
Ah yeah, is that a new feature? What is it for?
 
It's probably a quirk in the color progression code
 
Hrm?
 
In case you missed it
 
What be it?
 
A Tavern for SO? So we don't clog up this room with only SO stuff?
 
This is now for serious SE stuff .....

HAHAHAHA .. serious .... priceless
 
1:29 PM
Shouldn't it be on MSO, not SO, then?
 
@rene heh, self-deleted before I even woke up :D
 
Ah, OK :-)
It was really bad...really bad...
 
Yeah
Although not the worst thing I've seen
I want to know how you mistakingly post a questions about trees on a software site.
 
Hahaha
 
I would almost say it deserves upvotes just for that effort
 
1:36 PM
@Undo That deserves a spot on gemsfromstackexchange.tumblr.com
 
Hmmm... Maybe.

Q: What can a user do if moderators remove a point of view from questions and answers

Q: How to hide a status bar in iOS?

user1680822I can hide a status bar in my app: - (void)viewDidLoad{ [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; [super viewDidLoad]; } when I chose my Launch image, and start it first time, it`s status bar over a picture. How to hide this?

I was about to save my edit, but then it occurred to me that maybe it should have [xcode].
I really don't have a clue
 
From the question I'd say not, but the answers seem to show some XCode content?

@LaszloPapp Who's working on that? I might be interested in using it, but I don't know of any current efforts, just this old, unmaintained effort.
 
Anonymous
The edX CS169.1x course that has its own Stack Exchange site has a somewhat-active IRC chat room. They already have a bridge syncing it with a corresponding Skype chat room. I think it would be cool if it could also be bridged to a Stack Exchange chat room associated with their site.

It might not too bad to implement, given that there are existing libraries for IRC and chat (I think), but I'd be interested knowing about any similar previous efforts first.
