Hello,
I am working on an e-commerce website (directing) where the inventory database needs to be fed from the POS database. The current one that company has was built with lotus (Customized) about 10 years ago and not sure if is just the matter of upgrading this POS being done in lotus and bui...
This is a request for the SO chat system to have an XMPP interface.
The whole idea of a chat system is to bring people together, and a key way of doing that is to allow people to access the system using more than one method. Right now there's a web interface, but it's limited to being a web inte...
I don't know if this belongs on SF, SU or SO... let's try SF first.
I'm looking for a "live help" system for website which uses Jabber/XMPP as a backend... so that website visitors could click a "Chat Now" button, and using AJAX, chat with operators who are already set up using Jabber accounts. ...
> None of these actually worked reliably but they look promising and so I award you the best answer. Hopefully they will be better in the near future! – Josh Oct 9 '09 at 15:43
:-(
But since that was almost a year ago, maybe that's better now
@TheUnhandledException Agreed. But I'd like to have a web UI to gtalk (for instance) that doesn't make XMPP connections from the browser. Proxy avoidance, you know. :)
That's how I envisioned it actually, like "Click here to chat", and when they click it asks for their name, and the IMs come from TheirName @smart-safe-secure.com
Two I can think of right off the bat.
Tech support. I'm not here to help clients work through the new site or teach them how to use features.
While it may be necessary to interface with clients at various points in the process, unless you're a managing programmer you really shouldn't be directl...
The only purpose for this that I can see is getting the non-serious stuff out of chat, comments, Programmers SE and Meta SO. This would be a lose/lose situation, because
the only value in the sites comes from getting all the non-serious stuff moved
you'll never get all the non-serious stuff mov...
blah blah something about gloves and being able to move your fingers and actively using the keyboard generating energy or something like that blah blah
@Shog, I'm over 600 votes, so now it is just a matter of getting a number that matches the answers i've voted on. Apparently at least 100. I just want it over with at this point lol.
Some of the badges are supposed to be surprises, not World of Warcraft style level grinds based on numbers.
I worry that if we provide too many metrics:
it becomes noise, like a bunch of inscrutable F-16 cockpit gauges -- how are all these numbers useful except for these specific badges?
the b...
@PopularDemand The problem I have with electorate is it doesn't just encourage people to vote more on questions, it encourages them to vote less on answers
Electorate has motivated me to be less participatory in dumb polls, which probably is the intended behavior, though there seem to be fewer of those these days.
@Shog9 That's only an issue for those who aren't already mad.
best I can come up with is that this is a token for users who really don't know enough to properly rate answers, and actually have the self-restraint to not do so.
What certified professional programming courses have you completed? (not school/college/university)
How would you rate them in terms of how much their content has helped you to do your job*?
I'd be particularly interested to hear about anything security-related.
*rather than how much their inc...
The article "Promiscuous Pairing and Beginner’s Mind" (PDF) suggests that you put someone in the pair that knows the least about the particular area of the code base. Not only will they learn about that area but they will also think differently compared to someone who already knows the area.

@theunhandledexceptipn - no, I just came in and saw that quote from @balpha so I posted my link. Later. Going offline for a Holiday. I will be back next week.
I think I'm burnt out. It's to the point that I'm altering a javascript file to fix a bug but forgetting to reload the page and thus not getting the new JS, and then wondering why my code didn't work
I think it's time for a break :-/
Have a nice night everyone
@Fosco when you get back, I have disabled TLS security requirements on my XMPP server
How do I write this C expression in J? (where x is input integer, and a is temporary variable)
((a= ~x & (~x >> 1)) ^= a ? 0 : (a ^ (a & (a - 1))) | (a ^ (a & (a - 1))) << 1);
