@RebeccaChernoff Aww, basketball? I used to like you
 
!o:
<3 college basketball
 
Also, did you just admit that at one point, you did like me? (;
 
Well, as much as I like other people. Which is about this much: |----|
For comparison, I like myself this much: |--|, and my cat this much: |----------------------|
 
11:22 PM
What the hell...
 
Hehe
 
scratches head
So the reason why Chrome has those issues with the userscript...is because it occasionally thinks that $ is the window.
 
@TimStone Huh?
 
That's ... an interesting turn of events
 
Yeah, I have no idea.
Now to figure out why.
Apparently Chrome took our jQuery promotion to heart, I guess. :P
 
11:26 PM
is there another punctuation mark that isn't used by javascript? @?
 
@drachenstern _ - used by underscore.js
 
I realize the jQuery could be used with noConflict but ...
 
^.('every function is winking'); ?
 
I think ^ is used isn't it?
 
@drachenstern Bitwise operator?
 
11:30 PM
bitwise xor
 
yeesh
 
! is not
<>-+= are all known
 
! is the negation operator
 
|&^ are logicals

Q: Poll: Require Semicolons and Forbid Tables?

George BaileyThere are a few very serious but opinionated and subjective arguments that I know of. Two of them are Whether or not to use semicolons in the event they are optional. There is a vote as here that also includes reasons Whether or not to use tables for non tabular data. There more information her...

 
11:31 PM
@DanGrossman yeah that's what I meant :\
 
Close it! Close it now!
 
I ran out of close votes like 23 hours ago
 
Mission completed.
 
it was closed before I could
 
@DanGrossman Didn't GMT 0000 pass... oh, half an hour more
 
11:31 PM
I'm up to +365 rep today
 
@DanGrossman less than 30 minutes till you get them back
@YiJiang nope - still Saturday here

Q: Could someone give me an overview for a php 'anonymous confessions' script?

Alex CI don't need to know every minute detail, I'll do my own research, but if I wanted to write a script that allowed anonymous visitors to a site to post confessions on the site for all to see, no 'approval'.. process, with comments, and captcha. It'd also need to have a backend for deletions of com...

Another one of those "not really the type of specific question you ask on SO" questions
 
Must be convenient when UTC == local time.
At least to keep track.
 
@MichaelPetrotta Only between November and March. We're +1 during the summer and there's talk of adopting European time. Personally I'd prefer it if there was no DST at all.
 
@ChrisF, you and me both, with the DST thing. My main customer lives somewhere that doesn't observe DST. I always get the time difference wrong, when setting up meetings.
 
11:35 PM
No DST here, when you're almost sitting on the equator
 
The change disrupts my sleep for a week afterwards - it gets worse with age.
 
"Guido Bugmann" is a good programmer's name
 
@Dan: wrong. I'm disappointed in the magic locator box.
 
@ChrisF most people would prefer that, including Franklin if I'm not mistaken
 
11:36 PM
:cries:
 
@MichaelPetrotta idk, it's pretty accurate for me
 
Better.
 
@DanGrossman that however only gave me two out of three right
 
all you with your beta chrome builds
 
it thinks I'm in Paducah KY which is patently wrong
 
11:37 PM
@DanGrossman About right, though it seems to print out Mozilla 1.9 for XULRunner 1.9, which is what Prism uses
 
> A poll conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation indicated that Americans liked Daylight Saving Time because "there is more light in the evenings / can do more in the evenings."
 
User script idea: Read in times in 13:59 format, use the users' locale to convert to reader's UTC offset
 
"Oh crap, it's getting dark, better get indoors before the vampires come."
 
I assume it was meant to show the correct local time. The little red dot is a little far north, maybe 500 miles off, but the timezone is EST, when I'm enjoying west coast weather.
 
@TimStone that was indeed why Franklin suggested it, except he suggested it because of saving candle wax and the like
 
11:38 PM
It's true though. I love being able to go to the park at 8PM and it's still sunny and warm. Rather than having been cold and dark for hours now.
 
Consider if DST rules were in effect year round (meaning we don't change the clock for winter and keep the "earlier" times from summer)
 
@AidenBell Don't even need that; JavaScript has Date.getUTCDate etc..
 
@DanGrossman Hey that's me! No idea why it's giving my location as London though. My ISP is in Sheffield and I'm just a bit further south.
What did you use to get that?
 
MaxMind GeoLite City IP-to-Location database, 'n' PHP
 
@Dan: if my IP ever changes, you'll be first person to tell me.
 
11:40 PM
:nods:
oh I haven't checked the stats on the election page for a while
 
Chrome 9, you arrive in the night, with barely more than a whisper. You have magic, potential, but are so modest.
 
I noticed I now have a list of pinned apps on my homepage. I don't like it. This isn't a CR-48!
 
status-norepro
 
I wish they'd send me one of those.
 
Oh yes. I've had that for ages. Definitely in Chrome 8, maybe before.
 
11:45 PM
Apparently I just invoked an update by checking my "about"
 
Google Cloud Print Hmm.
Using Google Cloud Print you can make your printers available to you from any Google Cloud Print enabled web or mobile app.
 
Apparently I'll be right back with Chrome 9
 
Dunno if my poor 16-year-old parallel-port printer us up for all this Internetty thing.
 
@drachenstern check out bodybrowser.googlelabs.com
 
> (APRIL 2, 2011) MOUNTAIN VIEW - Google announced today the public beta test of Google Coupons, which automatically prints coupons from local retailers on users' Cloud Print-connected printers each night.
 
11:48 PM
oh you're kidding
 
@DanGrossman I'm all confused :\ :p
@ChrisF I disagree with the labelling/extent of the neuro parts
they don't extend to cover the lips or nipples ... :\ both well known as being highly nerve ending centric
 
@drachenstern You're just supposed to be impressed with the 3d interaction ;)
 
@ChrisF bah :p
 
harumph. In my day, we sliced open real cadavers.
 
Though I do think it's interesting that they used a female figure rather than giving the option of male or female. I'd also like to see different objects as well.
 
11:53 PM
I concur, but the underlying and basic physiology is largely interchangeable
 
But... womens brains grow and shrink with the menstrual cycle.
 
whereas men's brains aren't located in their heads ;)

So has anyone else here read Mimsy Were the Borogoves the short story?
 
?
 
11:54 PM
Why can't I find that article on hacker news anymore... someone must've deleted it
 
passage that I'm in reference to that I asked at all is:
"I wouldn't mind having it myself," Paradine said. "Where on earth did Harry pick it up? No, I don't see any harm in it. Adults are conditioned to react unpleasantly to innards. Kids don't. They figure they're solid inside, like a potato. Emma can get a sound working knowledge of physiology from this doll."
"But what are those? Nerves?"
"No, these are the nerves. Arteries here; veins here. Funny sort of aorta-" Paradine looked baffled. "That           what's Latin for network? Anyway           huh? Rita? Rata?"
I've always wondered if there was something to that, something they just sorta wrote from the gut as it were
