4:06 AM
Just debugged a program by printing two large portions (an array and an enum) and comparing them manually to see if/where there was a mismatch. It was surprisingly effective.
 
Psh.
In my day we debugged by manually inspecting memory.
 
Still, it was kinda cool.
 
And then we laughed when we found 0xfff0 where it should have been 0x0fff
 
lol jeez really
 
4:10 AM
Yup, apparently.
 
Impressive that they've kept the "Warner Studio Store" link pointing to something.
 
Something in a frame, but something.
 
Impressive I say.
15 years is a long time to keep something on the internet working.
 
Yes it is.
Well, I love how iterating on my app breaks things more drastically each time I make a change, until I tie all the changes together.
Iterative development is like going on a roller coaster; you think that you're about to fly off the track, until you end with the most spectacular drop, then you're back where you started - comfy and working correctly.

So goodbye.

@TinymooTim Why is that?
Ok, good night.
 
Visiting people (sometimes vacation is more exhausting than just going to work)

Hmm, weird question, does anybody know an image animation (preferably made with jquery, but js is fine) that resembles a walking dog.
I mean the trace of the paws.
Now that I'm thinking, a gif might suffice.
I think I'm talking alone, but in my defence, it's been quite a whiles since I've last slept.
This is what I meant:

Some time ago I flagged a question that was an exact duplicate of another asked by the same user. My flag was marked as helpful, but was never acted on.

Q: Intents in android

RATTLESNAKEIs there any intent to view files such as word document(.doc), excel sheet, powerpoint(.ppt), pdf, etc. in android. If any, then please help me out of this. Thanks.

I usually don't flag for duplicates, but I make exceptions for duplicates by the same user. Is it not customary to flag these questions? Should I flag it again?
 
@RobH Flag again, IMHO, leave remark in the flag (type: other) and let mods deal with it. But - are you sure that the other one wasn't closed/deleted?
 
@moshe - Yeah, in my flag I had referenced the other one, and suggested it become the canonical since it had an accepted answer. Here's the other:

Q: Is there an Intent for viewing documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.) in Android?

RATTLESNAKEIs there an Intent to view files such as word document (.doc), excel sheet, powerpoint (.ppt), pdf, etc. in Android?

I had cleaned up the second one quite a bit in eager anticipation of the other being marked a duplicate. :)
Here was my "Other" message in my original flag:
Exact duplicate of stackoverflow.com/questions/4016100/intent-for-viewing-files (asked by same user). I had edited this one, then saw that one. Since it has the accepted answer, it should probably be the canonical. Recommending a merge of the answer on this question to that one, too. – Nov 10 at 21:49 helpful
OP asked another very similar question that did get closed.

Q: How to create Android application for viewing Office documents?

3:31 PM
Lol
 
Ha!
 
Aw, he edited the comment and made my last message look crazy.
 
@PopularDemand Did he actually say it was a "life or death" situation?
 
4:14 PM

@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Did you delete your comment from my recent post, or were they "cleaned up"? Just curious =)
 
@jadarnel27 lol i ddnt touch them lol
 
Haha, fantastic.
 
Perhaps they were removed to avoid drawing even more negative attention to that issue =) Oh well.
 
@jadarnel27 idk. i feel its a lil odd
 
7:25 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Agreed. I'm sure the rationale of the mod that did it was that the comments were just "noise" and didn't add to the question (although this logic is very selectively / inconsistently applied).
 
@jadarnel27 yaaa...

Q: Is Hat Dash a game?

Adam DavisAssuming I am an avid gamer, desiring to collect all the hats, treating the hat dash like a game. Is there any reason I couldn't discuss strategies for this game on gaming itself, or does the fact that it's being run on gaming make it "meta" even though it is a game, and different strategies mig...

Ladies, Gentlemen, after much discussion and the insightful comment from Adam, we're about to close Meta Stack Overflow as an exact duplicate of the newborn tag on Gaming. Please welcome your mothership overlords
 
The circle (drawn as a freehand square) is complete.
 
until then please continue using Meta normally.
@TimStone The last feature we needed for the migration was obviously hats. Honestly we couldn't let dragons overrule unicorns as the most asked about creatures on the site
With 30k questions about unicorns we calculate Skyrim will no longer be our top tag for the next 6 to 8 weeks
The migration will take 1½ to 2 months.
