a meta chat, this just seems stupid and more importantly, just plain wierd
just think: you are on in a chat room, for a meta site <- that is for the main site
wait wait
and it has a chat as well
please tell me that most of you are getting paid for this
you are in a chat room to better a website ( that is for bettering the more important site ) that is already doing a fine job for bettering the better site.
as if being on a website dedicated to programming wasn't cool enough, we had to go ahead also be apart of the site that betters that site, and then get on the chat that is to better the ( drum roll... ) better site
I'm envious. I look at my screen and think "damn...if I can read everything so clearly, so can the cameras the government planted around my living room". You never have to worry about such things

@balpha My problem is that I can't try either Gnome Shell or Unity without installing the nVidia proprietary crapware. That's really a non starter.
Since I removed the nVidia crapware my laptop hasn't shut off due to overheat even once
and I get full multiscreen goodness etc. :)
I really don't want to go back to nVidia proprietary drivers :/
HI, I'M ELIZA. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?
is Human verification intelligent?
I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I wonder if human verification in StackOverflow intelligent.
THAT'S INTERESTING...
For example I dont miss type and picture and my response time is...
It's unfortunate, I really want to point out that we can chat and use complete sentences, not use txtspk and abuse punctuations at the same time, but I really don't want to sound rude.
ELIZA: SO HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?
You: OH HAI WHY U ALL SCREAMIN AND STUFF
ELIZA: THAT'S INTERESTING...
You: LOL WTF DID U TRY PRESSING CAPS LOCK ROFL
ELIZA: WHAT DOES THAT SUGGEST TO YOU?
You: LOLNO THAT WAS SHIFT TRY PRESSING CAPS LOCK
ELIZA: I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
You: ITS TEH KEY RIGHT NEXT TO A
ELIZA: PLEASE GO ON.
You: NOT THE Q KEY THO THE OTHER LOL
ELIZA: I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
You: RIGHT ABOVE SHIFT!
ELIZA: I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
@YiJiang > IZ UNFORTUNATE, I RLY WANTS 2 POINT OUT DAT WE CAN CHAT AN USE COMPLETE SENTENCEZ, NOT USE TXTSPK AN ABUSE PUNCTUASHUNS AT TEH SAME TIEM, BUT I RLY DOAN WANTS 2 SOUND RUDE.
I am forever being asked if I am a bot, simply because I am so active, especially with the edit button. Can someone write a program that I can click on and it will do it for me?
The people who like spaces are people who either can't figure out how to configure their editors properly, or don't understand the concept of tabs for indenting, spaces for aligning
@rchern I'm not sure if you intentionally left the loophole that it can switch between all tabs and all spaces with each revision, but that would probably be bad
@MichaelMrozek, I try :) I think I may be in your second category (difference indenting/aligning). In my defence, I do a little F#, where it's spaces-only
@Benjol The main argument I hear for spaces is when you try to line up stuff across multiple lines, changing the tab width won't mess it up. Those people are very confused about when you should use tabs
@MichaelMrozek, well I only ever really use the tab key, but the editor is set to insert spaces (4). I guess to be honest it's mostly a habit. But it does avoid nasty formatting surprises when you copy/paste between different applications.
@YiJiang thanks. had a hard time came up with a logo. it's derived from the penrose triangle. it's a bit subtle, if you look at it closely, it still maintains that impossible structure
i really wanted to incorporate more "mathy" stuff, but i felt they were getting in the way. also it's the first time i'm using serif for body text, some liked it, others didn't. oh well, the fun designing for public
@Jin Using a serif font, long body texts look really crowded. Actually, it looks crowded for sans-serif fonts too, but a serif font just makes it worse
@YiJiang yeah i'm fixing the line height and other css problems today. i don't think the question/answer body text css is great, true for the other themes too
@radp Hmmm... interesting idea. But the problem is, the system thinks you're last message didn't go through, and sometimes only a manual refresh will make the dupe appear
I've had comment spam make it through my blog despite an ASCII art captcha. Someone has to be typing it in. If it were truly automated, I'd expect a lot more misses.

the OP commented on my answer asking for a working example using javascript's .split() because my answer didn't have it. (.split() doesn't work for what he wants)
so he says then it doesn't answer his question and accepts another answer that also doesn't use .split
I have random strings that are similar to this:
2d4hk8x37m
or whatever. I need to split it at every other character.
To split it at every character its simply:
'2d4hk8x37m'.split('');
But i need every other character so the array would be like this:
['2d', '4h', 'k8', 'x3', '7m']
Your he...
Yeah, I think that the OP should have been able to reason that one out by themselves, though I'm not the least bit shocked they didn't. ;)
In other news, apparently a paper I co-authored on short notice won best at conference (for a conference I didn't go to...)...not really sure how that happened, but I'll take it.
I have a question about TAX/VAT in the UK - I was just going to post it on a tax forum then I remembered about the business Stack Exchange site - I can't find it (perhaps it was a version 1 site), but I see onstartup - do you think it will be ok there? - it isn't really about startups, but just UK business.
@balpha It is ok - I asked on a forum :( Just looked and there was no related questions - it is really a financial matter and off topic for money.SE as business- I asked in a forum as it specialises in VAT and is very active.
If I want to instead license what I write -- say, my posts on SE -- I technically just need to associate myself with the SIAE for... jeez, I don't even know, their association PDF hasn't loaded in the last 10 minutes.
Hi All, I have one question on how to optimized my sp, actually it was a view but I decided to change to sp to make it faster, and it did work. First it took 27 seconds for a view to run and 16 sec for sp. So it is getting better but how to make it even better?
Table that I am running my sp on i...
need to draw some attention to this meta feature request as it seems like a good idea that hasn't got a lot of attention: meta.stackoverflow.com/q/62560/61654
@balpha The element showing to be a "string" containing function code is just one element in a nested JSON object ... so it is parsing correctly
@balpha - Looping through some data.children element ... they are all as should be, apart from the odd one which is a string containing that function code
@radp, 1) ask a question on meta about keyboard commands for chat, i'll be happy to answer (; and then 2) post a feature request on github.com/rchern/StackFlair/issues (:
@Fosco Nope, that function isn't anywhere - looks like a jquery function ... but it is a string in the JSON (tho not really because I can see the JSON response from the server)
@TimStone - Really simple: a $.ajax() call with dataType: 'json' The JSON is: {person:"Dave", children:[ {name: "Alice", age:10, children:[]}, {name:"Bob", age:20, children:[]}] and if I recurse through children, printing their names, for anyone with empty children array it prints the string above (which looks like a function def)
