Oh !@#$% god... Twitter sucks...
 
RT @YiJiang: Oh !@#$% god... Twitter sucks...

I feel lame, I just got 50 reputation in no time just to answer a trivial question.
 
And Google too, but /facepalm. The new #! redirection thing which Twitter is using means that they broke the back button on the browser
 
RT @balpha: RT @YiJiang: Oh !@#$% god... Twitter sucks...
@YiJiang That's called a hashbang.
 
SheBang!
 
4:02 PM
@Nyuszika7H You're so going on my next #FF
 
@LoïcWolff Why wait?
 
ChatExtension.define('facepalm', function() {
    jQuery.post('/chats/' + location.href.match(/\d+/)[0] + '/messages/new', { 'fkey': fkey().fkey, 'text': 'http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm232/mintkiller/facepalm.jpg' });
});
 
@#$%nabit stop posting images when I can't see them, it makes me curious!
 
@Nyuszika7H I know. proceeds to punch Twitter engineer who decided it was cool to break people's navigation experience just because, oh idunno, we need this newfangled #! ajax crawling thing on our website yeah!
 
4:03 PM
#FF @Nyuszika7H @LoïcWolff @drachenstern @balpha @YiJiang @Moshe @ircmaxell @badpssockpuppet @Reno @RebeccaChernoff
 
If God gave his only son, Jesus, to die for our sins, and we're all God's children, does that mean we're all daughters? ... o_o
 
hehehe, except I don't use twitter anymore. But go right ahead, I still get at least 2 or 3 new followers per day even though my last post was years ago...
 
@Reno Hey hey, quite trying to extend the logic of our normal world to religion
 
@mootinator thank you so much for that
 
It doesn't work that way
 
4:04 PM
lmao reddit
 
@badpssockpuppet You're welcome <3

#IE @Eldros @YiJiang @mootinator @Reno @ircmaxell @badpssockpuppet @LoicWolff
 
@loic be nice.
 
4:06 PM
ha
 
@YiJiang that shouldn't have broken anything, they should be updating the hash each time you navigate
 
@drachenstern The back button... sigh...
 
@YiJiang yeah, that's what I said.
a good browser respects that window.location changes and marks that as the new navigational element.
 
Basically, #! URL -> normal URL -> back -> #! URL -> back where we started \o/
 
oh, I see
they redirect and then ... gotcha

Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life
 
I wish I could go back in time and stab the person who named these classes after accounting acronyms, and also not the appropriate ones either.
 
And the redirection doesn't happen perfectly every time either - in Firefox 3.6, sometimes it will end up with a URL with a /!/ in the middle, somehow. It's just... sighs

Q: Hello world ASCII art

Nyuszika7HDraw Hello world to the screen with the smallest possible code. Sample input helloworld Sample output ** ** ********** ** ** ********** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ********** *...

 
@Nyuszika7H I don't use IE, I use FF.
 
I don't think figlet is a valid answer there, it's too short.
 
4:11 PM
@YiJiang I imagine that's how they try to recognize that they are using ajax navigation
 
#CHROME
 
@drachenstern The #! URL somehow redirects me to a /!/ URL, which results in a 404. I have to manually edit that part out of the URL to get to the correct page
 
@YiJiang oh, well that's really dumb :(
 
@balpha lol

@balpha what, no OB integration complete with title?

I @MichaelMrozek wonder @MarcGravell how @mbq how @rchern many @RowlandShaw @-mentions @CRoss can @PiersMyers I @Brant stuff @badp into @balpha a @BryanDenny single @Iszi message @ThomasMcDonald
 
@balpha so? :p
 
4:19 PM
(There are more uses outside of this room)
 
@badpssockpuppet That made me think that there's an army of Dilbert characters just waiting outside the door...
 
The "Over 9000" line would quite fit

here's an isometric tile html5 canvas jsFiddle if anyone's interested: jsfiddle.net/gfosco/yUS5H
 
@Fosco Nice, though it's pointless to include jQuery if you don't use it.
 
WHAT??? IT'S NEVER POINTLESS TO INCLUDE JQUERY!

:D
 
Websites across the Stack Exchange network: slow for everyone or just me?
 
slow for me too. I figured it was my internet connection
 
4:43 PM
@PopularDemand not for me
 
@PopularDemand It's not just you, SE is very slow for me too. I'm using Chrome 11.0.686.1 dev.
 
@drachenstern Well aren't you fancy, only-person-with-fast-SE-access-right-now? What kind of ridiculous thing are you posting that's eating up all their bandwidth, hmm? It'd better be good!
 
@mootinator: :542926 Glad to meet you
 
@SankarGanesh good to see you again sir ;)
 
normal speed for me too
 
4:44 PM
@drachenstern hmm, what are you doing now
 
@PopularDemand @ircmaxell try again in a minute; a fix is being deployed
 
@PopularDemand I am currently uploading my personal tron-iverse onto the SE mainframe so I can access 01 so I can trade my shares of FutureAPPL before the press conference right now, of course
 
I just type very slowly
 
@SankarGanesh writing code
 
@SankarGanesh hello again
 
4:45 PM
@mootinator How do u do, I missed you on Monday and yesterday too, where you went those days
 
@drachenstern Selfish. But I guess I can't blame you.
 
@drachenstern do you have any e books regarding Code review process
 
@SankarGanesh I was here, but perhaps less distracted by this room than I am today :/
 
@SankarGanesh I don't understand the question. What is the end goal?
 
@drachenstern I want to more about Code review process, so that i am seeking any good free E book regarding that, do you any e book, i hope you may have some fav book, am i right
@mootinator It's ok, How is your Child, did she finished eating
 
4:48 PM
@SankarGanesh Great; they never finish eating.
 
@drachenstern and @mootinator: this rooms gives me a another good friend like you guys, his name is @TimPost
 
@mootinator lol
 
@mootinator why they never finish eating
 
@SankarGanesh haha, he is a good guy. ;)
@SankarGanesh I don't have a particular book, no. Are you trying to institute a new policy at your workplace or you need advice on how to actually do the code-review?
 
@SankarGanesh Infants are always putting something in their mouths.
 
4:50 PM
I would refer you for both of those questions to visit either codereview.stackexchange.com or programmers.stackexchange.com
 
Somebody wrote a book on code review ? o_o
 
@Reno lol
 
> @cbrulak: Questions about the discipline and practice of code reviews should be posted to programmers.stackexchange.com. This site is for sharing code from projects you're working on to get peer feedback and review. – Robert Cartaino♦ Jan 21 at 15:46
@Reno yes, there are several. Try amazon

Q: Solution to facilitate code reviews

cbrulakWhat solution do you use to facilitate code reviews in your organization? We/I use Code Collaborator from Smart Bear at my day job. It is privately hosted on our domain with LDAP authentication.

 
@mootinator oh, ok, How is she now, did you take any latest photos , if then show me
 
4:53 PM
@SankarGanesh "if so, may I see them" ... but really, what's the obsession with the kid? I mean, she's a cute kid and all but ...
google.com/… <-- should pretty well cover the bases
 
@drachenstern I invite you to answer my bounty question so that if your answer is nice i can award it
 
Yeah
 
@drachenstern lol
 
and i feel you should first learn refactoring
 
... maybe it's me, not SE. Now other sites are slowing down too.
 
4:54 PM
@SankarGanesh I wouldn't add anything in particular that the existing answers don't cover already.
 
before you start reviewing code
 
Tempted to reboot and go out for lunch....
 
@drachenstern oh
@PopularDemand go outfor yoiur liunch lol
 
@SankarGanesh No new pictures on the computer lately.
 
@mootinator hmm, no probs, i had showed your child to my father, they also says nice and i had showed your child snap to my frnds too, they also told, what a lovely face your child has
 
4:57 PM
@SankarGanesh Meh, it would take time, money and effort.
 
@PopularDemand :)
 
>.<
 
SO needs a new gold badge for over 9000. It'd be so epic
 
SO needs a new gold badge for every earned rep. It would be so epic!
 
@Reno "Epic" is already a badge. Please try again.
 
4:59 PM
@Reno lol
 
@Reno "What? 9000!"
I think my SQL server is ignoring my query.
That or I'm doing something very wrong that doesn't show up in the Activity Monitor.
 
rep cap for 50 days ? Challenge accepted >_< ,... spawning sock-puppet processes
 
Josh you're out of date!! You need to reboot this answer stat!

A: How do I post a screenshot on Stack Overflow?

perbertThis way: You go to the place you want to take the screenshot You press Prnt Scren (Yey! Our toy is back again!) Create an answer/question Click on the Insert Image button Search an image provider (top google search will do) Click Choose File and select the screenshot file Optional: Resize...

 
@drachenstern what now?
oh
 
lol
you had all those FHCs and awesomeness on it ;)
 
5:09 PM
All I did was added <kbd> back :-)
 
@drachenstern and @mootinator: Bye See you Later, Guys, take care, @mootinator: donot forgot to convey my hai to your child, bye
 
Ooh, I bet there's a try{} catch{} block in this code which doesn't do anything, including disable the progress bar.
 
@SankarGanesh have a good day
@mootinator nice!
 
@SankarGanesh Later.
 
This next post is for my own benefit so I can copy-paste it when the boss sends me a retarded "why didn't you catch it the other day" email:
> The other day I was focused on getting the import sprocs working and did not notice that the data was not “as expected” as I was working on other projects.
 
5:16 PM
@drachenstern Competing answer upvoted!
 
If you say so Mr DoD contractor (yeah I have no clue, I've decided everyone here is a DoD contractor)
 
The developer who originally wrote this project had a lot of Exceptions he didn't know how to handle.
So there are a lot of try {} catch(Exception) {} blocks :(
Jerk.
 
sigh
 
@drachenstern Can I be a CSIS agent, since DoD doesn't make much sense?
 
S.I.G.H. (Surgical Instrument Group Holdings Ltd.)
 
5:19 PM
@mootinator no, you are most certainly a DoD contractor. We outsource EVERYTHING, dontchaknow?
@mootinator le sigh Pokexceptions!

**computers**
"Which computer peripheral devices does your family own?"
What does my professor mean by this question??
 
@drachenstern Is that what @SankarGanesh is doing here?
 
@PopularDemand wow
 
@badpssockpuppet Better make an exhaustive list. Keyboard, mouse, printer, Powerglove, scanner, fleshlight.
 
@badpssockpuppet zip drive, speakers, monitors, printers, tape drives, rotating semi-permanent magnetic drum storage, card-punch machines, card-readers, teletype terminals, any of these
 
5:24 PM
How could I forget about the powerglove.
 
@mootinator lol, you so went where I went, check the last of my link
 
Hah
 
for that matter #6 on that list is likely in the same boat
 
resists temptation to answer, stackoverflow.com/questions/…
 
@badpssockpuppet that's good, because it would belong on superuser anyways ;)

Q: 2011 Moderator Election - Town Hall Chat Digest

JoshThe following is a "digest" version of the 2011 Moderator Election Town Hall Chat. The format, as described on Meta Stack Overflow, is one answer to this question for every question asked in the Town Hall, containing all the candidate's answers to that question. To view the digest chronologicall...

 
Nippon: See it on the Subway and play today.
Exclamation points are not minimalist Appleish.
I better submit the Nippon update for iPad in the next 30 minutes, before apple announce the retina iPad.
 
the SO podcast mentioned en passant on arstechnica.com/staff/fatbits/2011/03/…
 
@PopularDemand - I don't know how I missed those answers on that question. I read through them all last night.
 
@Moshe they won't do a Retina iPad
when does that start? 24 minutes?

Q: How do you prevent gaming of page views?

Klaus Byskov HoffmannSay I have a site with pages. Pages are ranked based on the number of times they have been viewed. It is good for a page to be highly ranked because it will make it show up higher in my search results. Hence, the author of a page may try to game the system to increase that particular page's views...

 
5:36 PM
Anyway answer deleted. No need to add comments as the other answers do in fact say everything I did.
@KlausByskovHoffmann Surely this would be better off on Webmasters?
 
@ChrisF no it's a programming question
 
@drachenstern In that case Stack Overflow
 
@ChrisF yeah, at first I missed the logo way over on the right
I say migrate it
 
@ChrisF It's an inevitability with these poll-style questions. Even well-meaning users can get confused after slogging through the existing three dozen answers.
 
@ChrisF I'm pretty sure it'll be migrated from SO, but please do migrate it if you can
 
5:38 PM
I scheduled a tweet in TweetDeck for April 1st, 2011 0:00 UTC. :P
 
@KlausByskovHoffmann wait, it's on both sites?
 
nope
I was going to post on SO, but had a feeling it would be migrated
since it is not specific to any programming language
And is also more of a discussion
 
Nah, this is a straight programming question by my eye. I can see a fit on P.SE but I think it would be better on SO. I'm not in a position to migrate it, so I leave it to those mods.
 
@drachenstern I'll follow it wherever it goes ;-)
Maybe it ends up on gaming....
 
lol
So anyways, I think you've laid out the strategies I can come up with
 
5:41 PM
Updated Commander Keen to work again (imageshack lost the image somehow); also works in chrome now. Just in case anyone cares :)
 
@drachenstern alright... thanks for looking though.
 
@balpha ehsaywhat?
 
Hopefully if it's seen to have been migrated from Programmers the SO close police will leave it alone.

A: Stack Overflow's voting system is not entertaining enough

balphaI don't know who that fancy schmancy "Crono" guy of yours is, but do you remember this guy: Here's the Greasemonkey script to have Commander Keen help you out with downvoting: install script – view source In case you're not brave enough to try it out, or too nice to ever downvote, or n...

 
@balpha Ahahahaha, brilliant.
 
5:44 PM
@KlausByskovHoffmann - done. If it gets closed on SO I can remove the migration history on Priogrammers and it will live again
 
@ChrisF Thanks :-)
 
It's a good question. Have an up vote
 
IPad 2 to have "dualing OS" m.gizmodo.com/5774512/…
@drach, yep, 10AM Pacific
15 minutes.
I dunno why you say no retina iPad though. It's so freaking plausible.
 
I got 3 upvotes for an old question on GameDev today. So I've restarted my interest over there and already have 2 more upvotes!
 
@Moshe howso? To push the resolution of an 8 inch screen to something that nobody has a fab to do (that I've heard of)? I agree it's doable, but is it going to payoff?
 
5:49 PM
It would. IMHO.
 
And you're entitled to yours. I'm waiting to findout too
 
Whoops, burnt toast, was helping a friend with a broken PDF plugin for IE.
Ten minutes! Going to get my MacBook and finish that site.
 
@Moshe I doubt that. The GPU power alone to render 2500xwhatever pixels is really not there for mobile devices yet. I could be wrong, but I haven't heard of it
 
Dual core?
Integrate gpu on dual core, no less

@Nyuszika7H that avatar always bothered me.
 
Heh.
This image sums up Twitter for the next week. You're welcome. http://t.co/rXgcH0V
 
@PopularDemand Because it's not properly centered? ;-)
 
@oKtosiTe Exactly correct.
 
@PopularDemand The vertical alignment of the zeros almost bothers me more than the horizontal alignment.
 
@mootinator LOL, I know exactly how you feel.
 
5:59 PM
has it started then?
where are you guys following it at?
 
@mootinator It's also a problem, but not as much of a problem.
