HAHA, no, no. I'm a part owner of Digital Fruition and wouldn't give up my job to work for SOIS, even though working for them would probably be fun as hell :-)
I almost ran for SF mod, but I didn't think I could win and I don't know if I could invest enough time. I almost ran on the campaign pledge that if elected I would cease involvement in EVERY OTHER SE SITE, and then I surely would have had enough time... but, I would have missed this tavern too much :-/
@JustinjjnguyNelson See, now you're pulling on my heartstrings :-) Michael may be my first choice but you may be beating Lasse for second place now ;-)
I need to send it to my business partner, our senior designer. He loves Macs. But, I have to wait a little longer or he'll know I saw it when I was supposed to be working ;-)
Consider the following array:
/www/htdocs/1/sites/lib/abcdedd
/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/xyz
/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/abc/def
/www/htdocs/1/sites/htdocs/xyz
/www/htdocs/1/sites/lib2/abcdedd
what is the shortest and most elegant way of detecting the common base path - in this case
/www/htdocs/1/...
@Josh Yeah, I'm just wondering about the format - I can't start a bounty inside a question and then award it to the answer that tells me which answer is best :)
@Josh Fair enough! When I'm done for today, I'll start the question. No guarantees - if it gets closed, I can't help it but if it survives, I'll place a 500 bounty on it.
I'm actually gonna see her mom and sis in a little bit so I'll talk to them and see what's up, if she's really serious about it or if she's just going through a spell
So I just spent about 25 minutes registering for a forum and getting it to post my thread without thinking it's spam. Why do forums exist anymore? I wish SE was just everywhere
the xda-developers forum requires determination to figure out. First off instead of saying "you need to activate your account to post" It just says "you must have 10 posts before you can make a post here". Then anything that even remotely resembles an internet link must be removed. We need a everything-else.stackexchange.com
@RebeccaChernoff I realized while cooking dinner that I was over-complicating my idea for the Town Hall... only one person has to post in the gallery room! Call it the "Town Hall Digest", make it a Gallery room and one person quotes all the questions and each candidate's answers in order. That could be useful, no?
Seems similar to what I was thinking. Having people ask questions in 1 room, but the discussion happening in another. My worry though is that it isn't a chat then. It's more like an interview something or other that is hardly different from asking questions on a Meta post that the candidates answer.
I am leaning towards it being ok, and taking a we'll see how it goes attitude.
So the candidates and participants don't have to do anything different... but anyone who wants to only see the questions and answers as they are asked can go to the digest room
because during the SF live chat I know it was difficult to see the candidates' answers sometimes
Well if you have no objection @Rebecca, I could run a digest room with no other changes being made, in case it helps. if I do I will of course make it totally clear where the real chat and the meta question are.
But, I am only trying to be helpful, so if I'm making more work for you / not making things better, just tell me so! It is not my intention in any way :-)
Yes, I never knew when they had all answered, I had a difficult time keeping track of that
I was thinking if I did such a digest room, I would post each question and then all answers in chronological order, then the next question and all it's answers in chronological order
Yeah, I would need to copy URLs into a text file and sort
Would be a lot of work!
I am open to any ideas to improve on this specific point. Was anyone else here in the SF chat?
What would be nice is a way to create a conversation between to points in chat, but be able to exclude certain messages. This could obviously be used for intentionally making people take other people's comments out of context, but, used for the powers of Good instead of Evil it could be very helpful.
@YiJiang would you like me to ask questions on your behalf, since I know it's an inconvenient time for you?
"inconvenient" is an understatement, LOL
@Pekka OK, I am getting set up for the test! 500 meta rep come to papa!!!
Hey there @waffles. Wanted to let you know that I made my very first sub-2k edit today on Unix.SE where I have under 800 rep. And I was so grateful for the opportunity to do so I almost recanted on every criticism I ever had about the new system :-)
Let $f$ be a Boolean function and let's think about f as a function from $\{-1,1\}^n$ to $\{ -1,1 \}$. In this language the Fourier expansion of f is simply the expansion of f in terms of square free monomials. (These $2^n$ monomials form a basis to the space of real functions on $\{-1,1\}^n$. Th...
This is about the recently implemented anyone-can-edit feature (status-planned)
It is always Edit(1) because it never reaches 2, because it is either single-click accepted/rejected (owner, 20k+ user, 2k+user and anonymous edit) or accepted/rejected by two 1k+ users.
Edit> Actually, as Michael M...
The Apple QuickTake (codenamed Venus, Mars, Neptune) was one of the first consumer digital camera lines. It was launched in 1994 by Apple Computer and was marketed for three years before being discontinued in 1997. Three models of the product were built including the 100 and 150, both built by Kodak; and the 200, built by Fujifilm. The QuickTake cameras had a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels maximum (0.3 Mpx). The 100 and 200 models are only officially compatible with the Apple Macintosh, while the 150 model is compatible with both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. Because the Qui...
> 1997: Microsoft rescues one-time and future nemesis Apple with a $150 million investment that breathes new life into a struggling Silicon Alley icon. Microsoft got to look like a noble competitor, for a change, for what amounted to a rounding error on their annual revenues.
@Knu Well, I think we should be talking about it when it's actually happening ;) Looking at the list of questions on the homepage, I see nothing inappropriate
@YiJiang I think I'm the only person who hasn't yet told you how much that page rules, so yeah -- well done. I was trying to do the same thing, only mine was plain text and you still finished faster
Well that was a better spent evening than I thought it was gonna be after I got my nephew ... he and I spent an hour at Barnes n Noble and then I met my inlaws at hooters for dinner. Nom nom wings.
Also, mother-in-law n I got to have a little more of a chat, so we have a meeting of the mind ;)
