Anyone around now?
 
Indeed.
 
 
1 hour later…
2:40 AM
Hi again.
Well, I'm experiencing a bug with some code I wrote and I've implemented a temporary fix.
When dealing with currencies, for some reason, using a grouping separator (like a comma) causes numbers to be truncated or misunderstood. I'm at a loss as to why.
For now, I'm simply disallowing commas from the input.
 
How are you turning the input into a number?
 
Bad idea, right?
@TimStone NSDecimalNumber's "decimalNumberFromString" method.
For some reason, entering a value greater than 1K (I think values that are not multiples of 1K) truncate everything except the hundreds place and down.
 
Eesh, this site is making me stabby.
2
 
That's when showing data in the editor.
When saving, I'm getting even weirder results.
@mootinator Howso?
Amounts being saved are simply truncated
 
@Moshe People answering questions they don't know the answers to.
Though, for once a downvote prompted a correction =)
So maybe less stabby.
 
2:46 AM
@mootinator Ah, ok. Well, that's why I am plateau-ing at 8K for now. I have run out of iOS questions to answer.
 
Heh.
 
All the new ones are dupes or are asked when I'm afk.
I've given up answering from my phone.
 
I'm sprinting for 3k.
 
@Moshe decimalNumberWithString()? The documentation says it doesn't handle separators, but it doesn't really explain what happens if you give it an unacceptable value.
 
Even if I have to answer junk and get some temporary rep :P
 
2:48 AM
@TimStone Ah, you've checked the iOS documentation?
@mootinator Well, rotsa ruck. I'd love to get to 10K.
 
Aye
 
I'm thinking of making an answer/then-blog-about-it athon over the summer.
 
You can also get into trouble with locales, but.
 
@TimStone Indeed, I know. I'm a bit tired today, long trip home, but yea...
It seems a good dose of the docs can do much good.
goes to investigate
By the way, @TimStone, iOS methods (or messages, as they are called) don't use parenthesis. It's more like this:
 
You could always strip out non-numeric, non-local-dependent decimal separator.
 
2:50 AM
[someDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:@""]
 
Yeah, I know :P
 
Thought so, jus' saying.
I appreciate the trip to the docs and back.
Hrm... I tried that.
Perhaps I didn't do that correctly.
@TimStone There's a way to get the locale separator from the device.
 
Aye
 
Ah, okay, I see that in the docs now.
I'm a bit too tired to start mucking around in three places. (A formatting method and then some UI action stuff), but it's going up on my whiteboard for tomorrow.
Thanks, @TimStone
 
nod
 
2:54 AM
Good night - for now. Until I get distracted from what I was doing and end up back in here.
 
Night @Moshe
 
3:14 AM
This doesn't trigger my fishy sensor at all.

Q: Fluid and Flexible Image Slideshow with jQuery

DanielDoes anyone know if there is a jquery plugin for a "responsive" image slideshow?

 
 
2 hours later…
5:20 AM
looks at the clock and sighs Hmm, that ended up being a surprisingly unproductive long weekend from any perspective.
 
Morning ;-)
 
'Ello
 
Hi
You know about Rd 434?
 
Morning.
 
'Ello
Have you visited Mariatrost Basilica?
 
5:34 AM
Yes.
 
 
6 hours later…
11:35 AM
:O
 
O:
 
I'm like suspended from chat.stackoverflow?!
 
waat?
 
is a bit puzzled
 
How do you know that?
you got messaged?
 
11:38 AM
Well whenever I try to write something I get message telling me that my account is blocked for an hour.
 
hm
well...
 
Interesting. Not only me.
 
hum
android room?
who is also suspended?
 
The cause seems to be two youtube videos I've posted.
Glitch.
 
oh
 
11:49 AM
I think that someone is flagging your messages
Auto ban
 
:S
 
But for that a 10k user would need to accept it.
I think.
 
Hummm
 
I think they have automated that bit. When there are some number of flags on a post it leads to auto suspension :\
 
11:52 AM
Interesting.
If that is true then coupled with flagging abuse it is pretty dangerous.
 
It is actually correct to do this (in cases of gore and stuff) but yeah this is proper flag abuse. Nothing new.
This has happened before. @balpha knows about this
 
again? >_<
 
Well the funny thing is that we were just doing our thing, chatting and suddenly, suspended. :D
 
Stalkers gonna stalk
 
12:18 PM
how many flags is it for auto-suspension? 5?
 
It is a bit annoying but not that much of a problem as long as doesn't happen in an event.
 
@Reno uhm... no I don't?
@OctavianDamiean unsuspended (well, 4 minutes before it would have ended anyway...)
looking at what was going on now
 
Judging by the removed messages it was Glitches and my YouTube video links.
He is still suspended.
 
Oddly enough, not the first time someone has been kicked over YouTube videos, heh.
(though that suggested change itself is rubbish)
 
Yea I was about to say just that.
I don't suggest anything like that, in fact I don't even really complain because I know quite exactly who it was and why. :)
 
12:33 PM
unsuspended glitch
tries very hard not to come up with a joke about "glitch in the matrix"
 
:D
Thank you for your time.
 
Good morning all, hope everyone had a nice weekend.
 
No, I didn't. It rained so my barbecue plans failed.
 
'Ello. My weekend was rather typical, heh. I didn't even get caught up on sleep. Could certainly have been worse though, so no complaints.
 
Hey, look at that. There's a Romanian flag gradient in GIMP.
@TimStone I've been up since 3 PM yesterday. :)
 
12:48 PM
:D
I noticed.
 
@GeorgeMarian Ah, we're in a club of our own then. Very good. :D
 
Morning.
 
Morning :-)
 
Hi
 
12:58 PM
But here is evening
 
Argh... spotify does not even have a full album of The eagle?
shame
 
I feel so productive. My whiteboard is littered with ToDo items.
 
So it's a dark board now?
well sort of?
 
Moshe,Have you work with youtube Integration?
 
snicker
 
1:43 PM
Hi Reno
How are you?
 
@Manjot No, I have not.
So, I count 6 projects on my whiteboard, Mind you its a small whiteboard built into my desk. I'd stuff more into there if I could.
Now, to work.
 
2:01 PM
Sorry,I was away @Moshe
 
Can i ask moderator here to unfreeze my room on SO chat?
If any
 
which room?
 
I just ask if i can ask about that :P
 
Which room?
 
2:08 PM
Well there's nothing to stop you asking about it :P
 
Why did it freeze?
 
have to ping a moderator as it times out after a month.
 
@Manjot Maybe because The last message was posted 32 days ago.
 
Oh I see
 
@Robik done
 
@balpha Thank you!!
 
WTF? Why is FB suggesting some random dude that isn't a friend of any of my friends?
 
It does that a lot...
 
Oh? I hadn't noticed, as I'm not on it that much these days.
 
I want to delete/cancel facebook... it's a trap!
 
2:38 PM
heh
 
What would be nice is "don't suggest this person as a friend". Yes, there's people I went to school with, and no, I don't want to be friends with some of them.
 
It has it's uses. I do like that it makes it easier to keep in touch with people.
@tombull89 Good point.
Dang it, Ubuntu! Why can't I apply the kernel updates? I've tried to be careful about what I've installed. Granted, I do have some other PPAs in there.
 
@GeorgeMarian Indeed... much easier, and it's become the only way to be 'in the loop' on a lot of events, or even to just know when birthdays are..
It also makes it far too easy to be communicating with people you shouldn't / or normally would not be communicating with.
 
admittiedly I do have some people on there I didn't like so I can see how badly they're doing.
 
Yeah, I use it for birthdays quite a bit and it's a good way to communicate w/ people and not worry about email addresses.
 
2:42 PM
But I'm bitter and twisted like that.
 
But it's definitely a trap and most people give up far too much information.
 
lol
@Fosco Yup. I try to be very careful about what I post and whatnot.
 
I frequently go through my wall and delete old posts.
i digress.... kittens:
2
 
Here's another good use for it. Recently, a college buddy of mine got in touch looking to couch crash in order to save some money for a trip he'd like to take. I sent an email to a friend of mine and got them in touch through FB to discuss it.
 
@Fosco Hah! We're now onto your little dirty tr-- KITTY!
 
2:47 PM
@badpssockpuppet :D
 
Anyone know how to improve popularity of chat room? :)
 
post kittens?
 
I need to make ppl want join the room, not stay there >_>
 
@Robik post the link elsewhere, advertise it.. be there to greet and encourage conversation.. post relevant news, lead the discussion..
 
but don't spam the room.
 
2:50 PM
Like that:
Hello!
Bye!
??
 
I don't think you did anything wrong, but there just might not be a big enough community for D to keep a chat room alive..
 
That's the problem :(
I must do somehing to keep room un-frozen :P
 
Talk in it at least once a month, that's all you need to do to keep it open... that's not much.
 
I have to turn off pc sometimes :P
 
not for an entire month I hope!
 
2:56 PM
Yeah, i gonan make it!
 
@Fosco Is it a 1 month window now? It seemed like it was a week before.
 
@GeorgeMarian I was using this comment as a guideline:
55 mins ago, by tombull89
have to ping a moderator as it times out after a month.
 
Ah, I see. I guess I'll continue to cricket in the Money.SE public room once a week until it's confirmed.
 
Well, I was under the impression it was a month of no activity.
 
It certainly may have changed. I could see them widening the window after beta.
 
3:13 PM
It's > 14 days, I think.
 
I guess we could ping someone and ask.
 
You could ping Mr. Atwood although you could probably find somone less important to annoy.
or you could just ping balpha and ask him direct.
 
Yeah, that's who I was thinking of bothering. :)
 
uhh why did that get a star? Can I edit things after they'd been starred?
 
I think so.
 
3:20 PM
(by "I think" I meant "I'm pretty sure from repeat experience", if that helps :P)
It's also mentioned in the faq, but I imagine that's a minor detail.
 
Yeah, there's a good chance that I've edited many a (starred) post.

> Rooms not worth retaining which are inactive for 7 days will be deleted. Rooms worth retaining which are inactive for 14 days will be frozen. Frozen rooms do not allow any new messages to be sent, and are not shown in the default room list to prevent cluttering the rooms interface.
 
Oh, hey. Whodathunkit?
 
Hey hey, RTFF is to StackExchange what RTFM is for Unix :D
 
Back again
 
3:23 PM
What is the definition of 'worth retaining' ? post count?
 
On a different note, I've decided that the solution to this issue is to pretend to post the @lert, only to have it immediately obliterated with fanciful animation by the comment gods.
 
> Rooms will exist indefinitely, so long as there is at least one person actively talking in the room. A room is considered worth retaining if it has more than 15 messages by at least 2 users.
 
@Fosco It's in the FAQ. :)
 
"A room is considered worth retaining if it has more than 15 messages by at least 2 users"
meh-eh.
 
I don't read FAQs!! :p
 
3:24 PM
you just did
 
what about EULAs? no-one reads them.
 
Sorry, I knew when I asked that...
 
even if in quoted form :)
 
@balpha oh, boom.
 
I'm always surprised how well done are these FAQs :P
 
3:25 PM
"I didn't come into the library to read!!!" notalwaysright.com/please-please-listen-to-yourself-talk/1002
 
Hahah, I don't even know what to make of that.
 
Sadness for humanity is what I make of it... that whole site, I've read almost 500 pages of it, makes me laugh and shake my head.
 
Oh my.... Wow. Really?
 
guy walks into a library and asks... "Do you guys have books?"... facepalm
 
No no, they are just decoration.
I wonder if it is ok to advertise a chat event on Meta.
 
3:41 PM
Can anyone tell me how to reduce the dimension of video file which is 768 × 576 as it is not showing on HTC wildfire,Sorry for asking here
 
Handbrake
 
@Manjot You would need to transcode (i.e. re-encode) it to a smaller size and format that the HTC can handle.
 
But I am using same webservices for iPhone(works fine),Android(In HTC Wildfire except 768 × 576 all other works fine) and BlackBerry(not yet started).Give me suggestion,Should I make 3 different Webservices or as I am doing using only 1 web-service only?
 
No idea. I was answering the specific question of how to change the dimensions. I don't know what encodings are supported by each of those platforms. That's something that you'll need to determine.
 
OR google for. Then you'd find this.
 
3:49 PM
Research? What a thought!
 
All other Video formats and of different dimensions working but only 768 × 576 it is not working :-(
 
It is funny how many people struggle to find information about a Google product. :D
 
Here it is almost 9:30 pm and having still lot of work :-(
 
@Manjot Welcome to programming.
@OctavianDamiean It's funny how many people have trouble finding information. ;)
 
No that is not funny, that is only sad. :(
 
3:51 PM
I am an iPhone Software Developer,Started with Android and Now with Blackberry what crap
Graphics are not good as iPhone's graphics are :-(
Look and feel of Android phones are embarrassing
 
Says who?
 
I am playing with HTC wildfire.It is waste.
Look at iPhone touch,Graphics,Api's many more.
 
Well not all devices are good in terms of screen quality and so on.
 
Having used all of them, Blackberry is still a superior device for phone & messaging, I have to admit.
 
Play with Different screen sizes in Android
 
3:55 PM
(You may stone me now.)
 
@Manjot I do. ;)
Can't tell about BlackBerry.
 
I bought an iPod Nano while I had my BB.
 
/stones @mootinator
 
@mootinator I agreed but still is is difficult to handle touch,track pad,track ball in BB
 
The Apple store person was all "You'll get your receipt by e-mail in 5-10 minutes."
 
3:57 PM
@OctavianDamiean I am talking about Web-services,Not static images
 
And I said "Au contraire, I own a blackberry. I ALREADY HAVE IT!" Dum dum DUUUUUUM.
Apparently I have to go work now.
 
I am having BB bold with me,Client is having Storm.
As I am using same web-services for iPhone,Android and Blackberry,It is very difficult to handle all web-services at a time
 
@Manjot Contrary to the common belief I actually do some work too as an Android developer and don't get my money for playing browser games or something. I know very well what problems you can face due to the hardware fragmentation of Android. You have to be creative that is all.
 
You could research and figure out the "one true" codec/resolution that works on all devices (if one exists) and just serve that up, using handbrake or something else to convert everything to that specific codec/resolution..
 
I am flummoxed
 
4:08 PM
been here an hour, time to actually start working...
 
@OctavianDamiean I need to make web-services of all different screen sizes or what?

Q: How to set the content of a tab in JQuery UI.

MuffinManUsing JQuery UI, I would like to set the html content of the currently selected tab, without knowing any id/title in advance. What is the best method for doing so? Thanks!

 
well done... +1
 
6:30 PM
@Manjot Well, no. If the content is under your control you will have to make sure that the content is smart enough to resize itself accordingly or you have to send a device identifier on a resource request and make sure to get an appropriate version from your web service. If none of it is under your control, well, then you have a problem.

Random thoughts brought me to: In any given base X, "10" = X.

Q: Mege [value-type] into [value-types]?

abatishchevI found on SO that value-type (92) is more popular as value-types (36). But as far as I could see, plural form is preferred. So maybe merge one into another?

 
fix typo in title... merge.. +1'd otherwise.
 
7:50 PM
(Cross post from Google+)
> Time to get a book on RoR. Any recommendations?
Wait, is there going to be onebox support for G+?
 
Doubtful. There is a chat feedback room for those requests.
Additionally, consider the request. Some posts may be private. At least with twitter or the like, most people don't want to share private tweets. Also, most people don't make things private.
Also consider that Google+ is still in early days, so things may change in the future.
So as not to be too hipster, but if you haven't heard of these, well ...
And for those living under a rock:
DEVELOPING: Casey Anthony found not guilty of first-degree murder in death of her child - NBC News http://on.msnbc.com/khzBEm
@shanselman when we most want emotionally for someone to be guilty, is when we need most to err on the side of them not.
 
8:20 PM
Is everyone else going to the coolkids room for the podcast then?
 
8:39 PM
@jcolebrand I don't know of one person who didn't think she wasn't guilty
 
@BrAvadaKedavran ow that hurt my head
