in English Language and Usage on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 6 mins ago, by Cerberus

By the way, do serious programmers use AHK?

AutoHotkey

AutoHotkey is a free, open source macro-creation and automation software utility which allows users to automate repetitive tasks. Any application user interface can be modified by AutoHotkey (for example, with Emacs style). It is driven by a custom scripting language that is aimed specifically at providing keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys. Features AutoHotkey scripts can be used to launch programs, open documents, send keystrokes and send mouse clicks and movements. AutoHotkey scripts can also assign, retrieve, and manipulate variables, run loops and manipulate windows, files, and folders...

my response was "no"

however, with 10s of millions of devs around the world, I'm sure some do.

Tim Stone

Who has time to setup macros? I have userscripts to write!

Zypher

my thing with custom macro's on my machines is that they won't be everywhere

but then again i guess most people arn't logging in and out of as many machines as i do in a day

Q: What can be done with Area 51?

I'm going to argue that Area 51 is not the optimal solution for Stack Exchange. Right now, as it stands, the following occurs: Someone, probably an expert or at least a strong enthusiast, proposes a site. People randomly follow this site. These people aren't committed to the proposal at all. Th...

@Zypher yeah, that's usually the case

Hey, I didn't realize that the mod chatroom got forwarded on here...

Zypher

i /blame @drachenstern (and he jsut quoted it didn't move it

not even mods can move stuff cross domain

Pearsonartphoto

LOL, I know.

Tim Stone

@Zypher You should totally ban him for that.

Zypher

or change his name ? :)

i think "josh" is a good choice

ducks

Tim Stone

Hahah

drachenstern

2:08 AM

I didn't forward anything from the mod chatroom

I only cut-n-pasted it

and only cos I thought it was funny

Pearsonartphoto

Still, the first time I come in here thinking about talking, and I realize that I'm already quoted here...

drachenstern

Also, I told you to come over here :p

Pearsonartphoto

You do know I'm only goading you a bit, right?

drachenstern

oh I know

Zypher

yes those that bite arn't here right now :)

drachenstern

2:09 AM

you do realize my face is doing this number right? -> :D

@Zypher shhh, rchern could show up at ANY MOMENT

Zypher

well maybe @drachenstern bites a littel but you know he isn't contagious

Pearsonartphoto

I thought you were in that camp @Zypher

Zypher

Rebecca Chernoff

drachenstern

@Zypher shh, it's the little things in life that surprise a person :p

Rebecca Chernoff

2:10 AM

OH HI

drachenstern

lmao

Pearsonartphoto

LOL, just as she pops in...

Tim Stone

OH HAI

drachenstern

@Pearsonartphoto protip: she didn't just pop in ;)

Tim Stone

can shout too

Only three up votes for the chat userscript so far? I demand more exposure!

drachenstern

2:11 AM

we have a habit of "paging" people that we know are going to get alerted on their screen when we use their name, so they show up. It's one of the chat scripts that became part of core.

Hmmm...

I count four

So does it happen even if we don't use the @ symbol?

Tim Stone

Hooray!

Rebecca Chernoff

2:12 AM

@TimStone, did you do a thumbnail? I forgot to look.

Zypher

nah you gotta '@' someone like @RebeccaChernoff

Tim Stone

Moving up the ranks.

drachenstern

@Pearsonartphoto if you haven't clicked the link on the right and approved the app up top, you don't get notified.

@RebeccaChernoff he did

Zypher

otherwise it doesn't work

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff I did, but it turned out less impressively than I had hoped.

I'll have to rethink that one.

drachenstern

2:12 AM

@TimStone nah, I liked it

Tim Stone

The resizing + unintentional cropping kind of ruined it, heh.

drachenstern

meh

Tim Stone

Man, my head is...I dunno. Feels weird.

Rebecca Chernoff

Grr. Y'all keep distracting me from doing actual work. BAD CHATTERS, BAD!

Michael Petrotta

Don't you want to browse pictures of cute kittens now, rchern?

Zypher

no no ... it's a script i swear

Rebecca Chernoff

2:14 AM

maybe it was 10:30

Pearsonartphoto

I think I'm seeing what the people in the mod chat were saying about this room...

Zypher

and 8pm there

and 6pm on the left coast

i just put in 9pm each time

Michael Petrotta

LEFT COAST HOLLA

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff I am trying to do the same thing, and have the same appreciation :\

Zypher

@RebeccaChernoff do i need to ip ban you again ?

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff lmao

drachenstern

Q: Php on production server on Interne

I am planing to build a website using php which will be on Internet with decent amount of users (between 1000 to 5000). I am using freeBSD as a server and I configured apache php and mysql from scratch. With proper configuration, is it safe to use such a server on Internet or should I go with som...

php web frameworks

I want to close this, just on principle of being a crappy question. Also argumentative. Also subjective. Also vague and overly broad. Also off topic.

However, I don't know what an Interne is, so maybe it's a valid question to ask whether PHP is suitable for use there.

Mark Elliot

@DanGrossman I edited it for clarity

Interne = Internet

Moshe

Is something wrong when 3G is slower than EDGE?

Dan Grossman

Yes. Network suckage!

Moshe

/me wants to run chrome on iOS for userscript support.

Is it at all portable? Perhaps the Mac chromium?

Rebecca Chernoff

Greasepocket!

have never tried it though - as far as I recall it had some security issues.

Moshe

3:52 AM

Is that on the app store?

Does it involve jailbreaking?

Rebecca Chernoff

I'm quite certain that [insert preferred search engine] can tell you everything you want to know. (:

Moshe

I am looking.

The first result quite old.

Mark Elliot

I've got to imagine that if this were some easy task someone would've done it already...

Moshe

Right. But who cares about easy? I want Userscripts on my iPhone!

Mark Elliot

you know, userscripts would probably violate the TOS

Moshe

3:55 AM

Appsbare sandboxes as it is. This just means that Safari will need to be sandboxes too. Or a third party app with a UIWebView can run it.

Rebecca Chernoff

It's a dangerous thing. For instance with SEChat, adding the timestamps are valuable screen real estate you don't really have on the iPhone.

Moshe

Why? A browser is all that is required.

Mark Elliot

because userscripts are local code

Moshe

@Rebecca obviously. And everything is touch, so there's no mouse, but still.

Mark Elliot

you can't download stuff to become local code

Tim Stone

3:56 AM

Damn, @waffles is on a roll, I see a wall of red. ;)

Moshe

@MarkElliot true, but it's just downloading a webview. It's JavaScript. If that violates the TOS, then Apple's SDK violates it. Local code and interpreters are disallowed for security reasons. Scripts can be bad, but hardly worse than other scripts that run on websites.

Any website by definition is running inherently, downloaded code. And Apple gives developers the "browser in a box". (I make iOS apps, icyct)

Am I wrong, @Rebecca?

@RebeccaChernoff: Dont look at me.

Eh, slow EDGE speeds.

Pollyanna

4:39 AM

Ok, someone entertain me for 2 hours.

I got notice today that I needed to download software for a conference tomorrow. It mentioned that it could take up to 30 minutes.

Then, further on in the actual instructions it mentions the downloads will actually take 2 hours.

The silly IT people at whatever company is hosting the download has capped individual downloads, so it doesn't come down as fast as my download goes.

And, of course, the first download fails at 84%.

So I get to babysit it.

Dan Grossman

i added a lot of vodkda to my drink

m probably more entertaining offline than nn text

Pollyanna

We'll never know unless you try...

Pollyanna

@TimStone So, are you going to entertain me?

I'll be there. Well actually I don't think I can but I will digest later

I look forward to read from you soonest.

Tim Stone

Hmm. :P

The Renamed Exception

Now taking suggestions for creative ways to respond to this scammer

I am sure it's not her house, I found the real realtor, house is actually for rent... for $2700/mo!

Pollyanna

You should ask if it has an indoor pool, and indicate the other option you are considering is here:

dontevenreply.com

@Pollyanna it has free wi-fi access apparently!

Pollyanna

@TimStone oh, right. Paying attention ftw

Tim Stone

'Ello @GeorgeMarian

@Pollyanna I blame us for not being entertaining enough.

George Marian

hola, coma estas?

Or, I guess it didn't have to formal. I think we know each other well enough for the informal version. heh

Tim Stone

I'm decent, I suppose. Yourself?

Pollyanna

5:09 AM

No, no, formal is good. Best to keep your emotional distance. People are dropping off meta like flies lately.

George Marian

heh

I'm dong well enough, though still trying to get back on a normal sleep schedule.

Pollyanna

@GeorgeMarian normal sleep schedules are -*yawn*- overrated...

Tim Stone

Yeah...I keep trying to make that work, but I seem to just make things worse. Heh.

George Marian

Yeah, I'm not big on the normal sleep schedule myself. I tend to be more productive at night, for some reason. Maybe it because of fewer distractions.

Kinda hard to look for work, though, when you're passed out during normal business hours.

WTF.... mail send me to a Road Runner page? (I'm on Comcast.)

Pollyanna

That's why I rent a candidate. They send out a freshly pressed and alert person to interview in my place. On the first day of work, I show up and they are none the wiser.

George Marian

5:13 AM

lol

Pollyanna

Best part is I can schedule conflicting interviews and still stay home in my pajamas watching Days of Our Lives.

George Marian

If I had that kinda cash I wouldn't need to look for work. :)

Flag weight: visible

Well, on SO at least.

Tim Stone

5:36 AM

@Benjol / @Pollyanna Can you see flag weight on MSO?

Benjol

@TimStone hi, where should I be looking?

Tim Stone

Check your profile page, underneath of your gravatar

I wasn't sure if it was only deployed on SO, or if it was rep-based.

Benjol

only on so for me, not on meta

mine is nice and high :)

Tim Stone

Heheh, mine as well. :)

Benjol

Had an idea for a new user script yesterday, but I think I'll need your help!

Tim Stone

5:38 AM

Sure thing.

Benjol

Check out the weekly photo on photo.se

Tim Stone

Ooh :o

Benjol

@TimStone, ok, challenge #1, I need to plug myself into the code that displays the comment textarea, and add a link above or next to 'help'...

how do I work out where to start, using firebug, for example?

Tim Stone

Hmm

Oh, damn. This actually reminds me that there's something else I need to look into..

So, there's two problems.

..err, scenarios, rather.

There used to only be one.

So the text box can be shown when you click the link, or it can be shown when you click the link, but after it loads other comments.

Benjol

@TimStone Don't worry, me too :)

Tim Stone

5:50 AM

(unless that also changed)

The first one is easy enough, as you can just add a click handler to the "add comment" link.

Benjol

@TimStone, just so you understand the big picture. My master plan is to have a popup of the 'close question' style, but where you can pick out prof-forma review comments.

Tim Stone

It'll be executed after the code that shows the text area, so when your method is called you know the elements you want are already there.

Ah ha, that reminds me too that I wanted to provide a suggestion for fixing a bug with that dialog. :P

So much to do! Heh

Benjol

what's the jquery selector for 'previous sibling?'

Tim Stone

You can call .prev() on the wrapped set.

Presumably :prev in the selector would work too, but I'm not sure.

Benjol

hm, think I'll use the id instead.

prev() seems a bit risky - don't some browsers treat whitespace as elements?

Tim Stone

5:55 AM

Nah, it'll only return you real things.

It only returns the very previous sibling though, which is a bit dumb since the method itself takes an optional selector of its own. But if that's what you want it works as you'd want it to.

Pollyanna

Huh, I don't see my flag weight on either site. Just my rep and views.

Benjol

@Pollyanna, what's your rep on SO?

And have you done much flagging recently?

Tim Stone

@Pollyanna Oh, really? That's bizarre.

Pollyanna

@Benjol My rep on SO is about 29k, and I haven't done much flagging recently.

Benjol

@Pollyanna, I'd say it's the no flagging then

you need to use my userscript, and go hang out in /review a bit :)

Tim Stone

6:00 AM

Supposedly the weight was applied retroactively.

Michael Mrozek

@TimStone Speaking of which, you should post an actual answer on that flag weight question; it's probably going to be pretty popular as more people notice it on their profiles

Tim Stone

@MichaelMrozek Yeah, doing too many things at once at the moment (I was also hoping to clarify whether it's just on SO or not).

Pollyanna

I've got 39 flags available, and only 14 of them can be accounted for due to my rep, ten for just existing, which means I've got 15 due to my flag weight, so I suspect my weight is around 250 anyway.

Michael Mrozek

@TimStone I see mine on SO and meta and everyone's on UL; I didn't check anywhere else

Tim Stone

Hmmm, interesting.

@MichaelMrozek Hm, which question should I answer? I flagged the better-worded one as a duplicate, since it came a few minutes after..but quality-wise, that first one...eh. I think you voted to close in the opposite direction.

Michael Mrozek

6:09 AM

Yeah, I voted to close the earlier one because it was poorly written, but if it stays open someone will edit it

Benjol

@TimStone, question #2, if I'm doing this .append('<span class="lsep"> | </span><a>auto</a>'), what's the best way to add a click handler to the a?

Tim Stone

one sec

Tim Stone

6:35 AM

@Benjol I'd $('<span class="lsep"> | </span>').add($('<a>auto</a>').click(function () { }))

And then append that.

Benjol

@TimStone, thanks

Tim Stone

(I'm not sure if it's the best way, but)

Benjol

evil laughter it worked!

Tim Stone

:D

Tim Stone

7:26 AM

harasses @MarcGravell about flag weight

Marc Gravell

what now?

Tim Stone

I was making guesses about why it doesn't show up everywhere (I only see mine on SO), but I figure asking is more sensible. ;)

We thought maybe it was flag-activity based, but.

Marc Gravell

it is only shown if it is outside the middle band

Tim Stone

Ahh

Thanks. :)

Marc Gravell

apt.ubuntu.com doesn't recognize natty

I read this blog post (http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/3087167981) from Jorge Castro and decided to try apt.ubuntu.com. However, I ended up with a page saying: "You don't seem to be running Ubuntu" Using this link: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/banshee I am running natty narwhal 11.04. If any more info is required, please let me know.

Ubuntu Website

Undecided / Invalid

Hmmm, when did Launchpad get OB support?

@YiJiang I can almost hear Steve Balmer run on stage screaming "Updating, updating, updating!"

GA is weird when it comes to Geopolitics... When Taiwan is hovered over you can see that Taiwan's stats are tracked separately, yet both China and Taiwan are highlighted

Anyway, I have a cold or something, and my nose is making me feel miserable. I probably should be in bed right now

@YiJiang 340, beat that :)

I think my mom should take 'Salad Making 101' before trying to make one - avocado, mandarin orange, pears and honey roasted walnuts doesn't sound like a good combination

@Benjol Goes off to look for stuff to flag in the /review page

Two horrible / stupid / useless suggested edits

The div one is especially bad

> A div is a block-level-element in HTML which is often used for positioning elements in websites. The style of this tag can be changed using CSS. Divs are displayed as <div></div>

WTF is this even suppose to mean?

Benjol

@YiJiang, if you're bored, could you tell me how you'd go about injecting something like the close dialog into a page? (I don't mean the mechanics of GM etc, just what the best way to generate so many nested elements is)

Yi Jiang

@Benjol What do you mean?

What close dialog?

@TimStone, just so you understand the big picture. My master plan is to have a popup of the 'close question' style, but where you can pick out prof-forma review comments.

I've got as far as injecting the div, but it's getting horribly ugly (see here: chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/524932#524932)

Yi Jiang

@Benjol Not really, you can try to dissect SO's JavaScript to see if you can find anything of that kind, if not just restyle it with some CSS

Benjol

ok

Templates maybe?

Yi Jiang

12:12 PM

@Benjol Possibly, you should look at using the 1.4 syntax to create elements instead of having that amount of HTML stuck in your script

Benjol

Do I have to include something extra (another script) for templates?
