@Shog9 Nope. Clearing cookies for me is a major undertaking, can you post a screen shot?
 
@Shog9 That is the one that isn't working
 
not working how?
 
@Shog9 8/10 SPAM or offensive flags aren't SPAM or offensive. Usually just a technical disagreement
 
@TimPost Ok - that's what I was asking by "Not severe enough". You'd like additional verbage stressing the importance of flagging only when necessary...
 
7:04 PM
I could say "Just use emacs" on a VIM question and it would get flagged to hell.
 
Probably. But to be fair, you'd be trolling.
 
But, not one thing in that comment is actually spam or offensive
 
Well... Heh. This is a bit of an old argument...
 
@Shog9 Conceivably, but when so many are doing much more notable things, it is .. not quite harmful .. but distracting
@Shog9 Yes, age old, but the volume of SO has changed quite a bit
@Shog9 I wish I could show you the open dashboard
 
@TimPost The one with 99 mod flags in it?
 
7:08 PM
@shog9 Or 200+
 
The complaint way back when was already that there were too many hypersensitive flaggers flagging stuff.
Since then, we've drastically increased the number of reasons for flagging stuff
(and the ease with which they can be flagged)
 
@Shog9 Ok, but SO did not have nearly the traffic when that was originally brought up
The new flag weight helps, but we can do more by refusing posts that match certain tried and true patterns
 
I understand - I'm just saying, you or me, we see an answer we don't like and down-vote it or whatever... Some folks flip the f** out*
(over the use of the f-word, for instance)
 
@Shog9 Sorry, I could not help the edit
(my job and all)
 
Yeah, now I don't get to point and laugh when someone flags it... ;-)
 
7:12 PM
Oh, good; I thought Shog9 went back and censored himself, I was a little horrified that devness had broken him
 
@Shog9 Same difference, point taken.
The idea is to reject stuff that will be problematic a little better than we are.
 
Anyway, the reason I bring up the past is simply that my theory then was that, regardless of volume, rejecting a ton of flags is still easier than wading through, say, a pile of emails
 
@Shog9 but plz help me! It is URGENT!
@Shog9 I'm not suggesting emails .. I'm suggesting that something like:
"You are talking to your peers, not sending a text message" appears
Additionally, if Joe Cartoon was suspended on three sites, lets let him file an appeal when going to another.
 
I'm not totally against the idea of some rejection metric that required posts to have a passing resemblance to English
However, you'd have to be careful: code shouldn't set it off.
 
@Shog9 Jeff will likely shoot that into 20 pieces. It was posted mostly out of frustration.
@Shog9 Run for moderator next year and hopefully you won't see what I'm talking about.
 
7:19 PM
@Tim: I kinda have moderator access on SO now...
 
@Shog9 Thank God
 
Jin
howdy
 
7:41 PM
I am really, really REALLY happy to welcome @Shog9. I can't say more, because some eventual procrastinator has yet to make a blog post.
 
Good to be here, y'all. Right now, this place is foreign and terrifying to me, but in time I expect to learn your strange and brutal customs and - perhaps - even be accepted as one of you.
 
Hello all, lots of blue in here right now.. I feel slightly overwhelmed :)
 
You're suspended.
 
Self-censored :)
 
Jin
yay one less Sketchy favicon...
 
7:49 PM
@Jin way to go, just in time for me. I downloaded the sdk last week :)
And it didn't break my review userscript ;)
 
@Jin Cute green robot! awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
 
Jin
booo Joel revealed the easter egg
oops, something bad happened, here's andy to cheer you up http://android.stackexchange.com/error
 
@Jin - Nice site, thanks for responding to my input with the topbar. I appreciate it.
Keep up the great design!
 
Jin
@Moshe thx for the input
 
@Jin :-)
@Jin - Do you use iOS devices? (No, I'm not selling you Nippon. I have a different question.)
I want to know what your thoughts are on those 3d-ish icons that play mind tricks with the rounded corners to make 3d objects.
Are those icons hard to make? And do you have any pointers on how to make them?
 
7:55 PM
@Moshe Wait, something didn't compute. Can you go through that again, slower?

@mmyers I... Am... Not... Sellling... You... Nippon... I have a different question.
\0/ 5,508 rep!
 
@balpha, did you see this?
 
When did @shog9 turn blue?
 
3 hours ago, by badp's sockpuppet
In other news, for how long has Shog been a moderator?
 
@MichaelMrozek You must be Jewish. You're answering a question with a question.
So, nu, what's the answer?
 
8:00 PM
You could go to that point in the transcript and read the conversation that already happened
 
@MichaelMrozek Indeed I am.
@MichaelMrozek UL?
 
Unix and Linux SE (I was right the first time -- 2 hours)
 
Ah
Cool.
 
@Moshe Link
and brb dinner

Q: When tabBarItem are selected the title disappear

KazzarLike a title, i have a view build with IB. When the app are lunched all work fine, but when i select a tab bar item the title disappear! Any idea? sory for my bad english, i'm italian :D UPDATE: the title of the tabBarItem is taked by the viewController title, in this case self.title = ...

@badpssockpuppet - Thanks.
 
Jin
8:05 PM
@Moshe i have an iphone4
 
@Jin Ok. Do you know what icons I'm referring to?
I'm trying to make some 3d icons, but I'm not getting it right.
 
Jin
@Moshe you can probably just use some existing icon pack, and tweak them to your liking.
@Moshe they don't really need to be super fancy.
 
@Jin Interesting idea. Where can I get said icon pack? (I know... Google...)
 
@Shog9 you->could("just use C"); ?
 
Jin
@Moshe just google for apple icon pack
@Moshe there are so many out there
 
8:08 PM
Ok, thank you @Jin.
 
Jin
@Moshe my pleasure
 
(Okay, now I'm going to try to sell you Nippon.)

@Jin - Seriously though, would you mind peeking at the artwork for Nippon and giving me some feedback?
 
@Jin Ahahahaha :D
 
Jin
@Moshe url?
 
8:10 PM
@Shog9 you->could("just use C") ? "Yep" : "Nope"
 
@TimPost ah yes - all the linker problems, none of the namespacing!
 
Jin
@Moshe that link doesn't work
 
No? Are you on Mac?
hrm...
one sec
 
Jin
@Moshe i'm on a mac.
 
@Shog9 My point exactly :)
 
8:12 PM
@Jin That's the itunes link. It should open iTunes and show Nippon there.
@Jin Does this work?
 
Jin
that one works
 
@Jin Great. What do you think of the artwork?
 
Jin
@Moshe I don't see any artwork?
 
@Jin The icon.
One second then.
 
Jin
@Moshe the logo? yeah it's neat. i like it. very japan
 
8:14 PM
Thank you.
Yea, the logo.
 
Jin
@Moshe why didn't you make the sun red? also i think the sun should be smaller. in traditional japanese designs, the sun isn't that big, it's the sunbeam that's supposed to be overwhelming.
 
@Jin Where is the sun not red - in the game?
 
Jin
@Moshe in the first screenshot i see the logo is B&W
 
@Jin The game is grayscale because the original was B&W, but I'm starting to rethink that.
I only made the icon color to attract people, but you're right, I should redo that.
@Jin This is my icon that prompted me to ask about 3d design:
iOS rounds the top, but I'm just wondering if the bottom needs anything, like a plastic box or something.
 
Jin
@Moshe you may like this guy's work. dribbble.com/toddham
 
8:21 PM
@Jin Interesting, thanks!
What do you think of my icon though?
 
@Moshe Eh, there's not much I can do as Italian
At best I can make a CW answer with the answer, then revert the change
 
Jin
@Moshe this guy's icon work is amazing dribbble.com/Artua
 
@badpssockpuppet Ok, please do.
@Jin Are all of those from scratch?
And is dribble.com like github for graphic designers?
@badpssockpuppet Thank you. I was requesting your help in communicating to the OP what I wrote there in English.
 
Jin
@Moshe it's a showcase site. designers post what they're working on. in a tiny screenshot.
 
@Moshe I'd rather not leave him a comment in Italian.
 
8:26 PM
@Jin Cool, gonna bookmark.
@badpssockpuppet Ok, no problem.
@Jin What's the benefit of using Illustrator? I've been using Photoshop for all my graphics.
 
Jin
@Moshe all ios icons should be made in Illustrator, because it's vector based.
that way you can scale it up to different sizes without using quality.
 
@Moshe aside.in
 
Interesting. I need to learn it then. Is there a way to easily adjust corner radii in Illustrator?
@Benjol What's with that?
2 mins ago, by Moshe
Interesting. I need to learn it then. Is there a way to easily adjust corner radii in Illustrator?
 
@Benjol Honestly their logo is kinda... ugh
 
@badpssockpuppet ditto
 
Jin
8:36 PM
ha Portman put the android.se error page on HN news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2365800
 
Hah
If I cancel a download in Chrome and then click on its link again, it doesn't start over, but it resumes the download where I cancelled it
 
@badpssockpuppet Really? That's nice to know; I've been doing large downloads in Opera instead because I couldn't figure out how to make it resume.
 
@mmyers Oh, for that you can click on the small down arrow, then drag on the "Pause" menu item and release the mouse button
 
hits self in forehead repeatedly
You'd think I would look there first.
 
I suggest against clicking on the arrow, because you might end up triggering the action that appears right under your cursor in the pop up menu -- Cancel
although, heh, now it's less of a big deal I guess
 
 
1 hour later…
9:53 PM
I see @what bailed out
I'm disappoint
 
10:21 PM
I just did a horrible thing.
 
What?
 
Probably should sanitize that just a bit for paranoia sake.
DECLARE @ver int;
DECLARE @silly TABLE
(
  cnt int
);
SELECT @ver=[version] FROM schema_versions WHERE [application] = 'web';
;WITH stupid AS
(SELECT 1 AS cnt
UNION ALL
SELECT stupid.cnt + 1
FROM stupid
WHERE stupid.cnt + 1 <= @ver)
INSERT INTO @silly
SELECT cnt
FROM stupid
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 32767);
I'll leave it as a puzzle to the reader to determine why I would do that.
 
11:08 PM
@mootinator To give us a puzzle
What do I win?
 
Nothing...
 
ah well.
 
Returning an int from the database as the rowcount to a DbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery call in order to avoid writing a simple MSBuild Task.
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
 
You know it's sad, when you have 1111 tests, and only 44.22% coverage :-P
 
@mootinator Hah :P
 
11:16 PM
I suppose what I should do really is install VS2010.
 
11:37 PM

:o
 
11:51 PM
This morning (local time) I swear I was reading a question on meta which was talking about catching colds and mentioned SARS and had a picture of people wearing face masks
It was on the home page, but now I can't find it
And worst of all it's not in my browser history
Maybe I am going crazy, but did anyone else see that question?
The question and some of the answers were soooo long, so I wanted to come back to it after doing some other work
If I do a search for 'SARS' or 'catch cold' or 'cold' I can't find it.... it has been disappeared
 
@xiaohouzi79 Yeah, I thought that Tim Post posted it, but I don't see it in his question list.
It was about Stack Overflow being "immunodeficient"
 
I wanted to avoid asking the question on the site as I'm not a big fan of 'what happened to X' type questions
 
@TimStone it's there
 
usually they provide nothing worthwhile after 24hrs of existence
 
tim self deleted it
 
11:55 PM
@Zypher - Could it be only 10k can see it?
i thought u couldn't delete if there were a certain # of answers / votes
 
@Zypher Ah, alright, I thought maybe that's what had happened.
@xiaohouzi79 He's a moderator, so.
 
ahh rightio
well, at least that answers the question surrounding my sanity
just not sure why my browser also has no mention of it
browser history
but has other meta questions I looked at during the same period
 
yep... it's probably in google cache somewhere
 
thanks for answering both
 
de nada
