12:29 AM
Just had a bottle of wine. Feel the need to create a post complaining about Rep and that you've all got too much of it
 
I don't have enough of it!
 
Wes
"This is not the Room your looking for" waves hand
por que? @animuson
 
I won't be satisfied until I hit 100,000 on Meta and get some sort of swag.
 
Wes
What difference does it make
once you can downvote
 
I'll have swag, man.
 
Wes
12:32 AM
Well stop chatting and make some redilously obvious comment so you can get upvoted
 
"Please upvote this. It will get me closer to my swag."
 
Wes
meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/89365/… something like that from my own history
stupid amount of upvotes for saying what a clearly defined english message means
 
I've had my fair share of those. Then the ones that you spend a lot of time on only get one or two upvotes. :(
 
Wes
Yeah to be honest
the only post that actually made much difference to me was one about a bug I found
gave me my free 100 rep on all the sites
Its a number get over it
I'm drunk get over it
:P

Can any of you leave? I haven't seen the sleigh yet.
 
1:08 AM
cheers
 
1:36 AM
@animuson I try, I try.
 
2:21 AM
Someone just linked me to their... MySpace profile? What? This still exists?
 
Unfortunately it does...
And some bands even use it as their primary website which is a huge WTF
(and I'm not talking about some tiny newcomer bands)
 
2:46 AM
What the what...
I know a guy who baked a bacon weave-topped pumpkin pie into a cake! http://bit.ly/TRG4N6 @georgekourounis #CoolestCatEver
 
any ideas why this arr.join("") fails in this jsPerf? jsperf.com/string-connect-vs-array-join
 
Because it isn't an array?
 
@mootinator you are right :D
 
3:14 AM
Xcode crashed again. I'm on billable time here, hello? Xcode?

I just found out my free credit score dot com is a bunch of money by switching to Geico.

AND ANOTHER THING
-ADONGDONG

Something happened to my brain there for a second. I think it's time for sleep now.

stumbles in
looks around
What happened in here last night?!
 
Dunno, what happens on SO. It's offline for maintenance, my hands start trembling.
How dare they?
 
Yeah, software development work in india almost completely stopped due to this!

2:42 PM
That.
 
@jadarnel27 It wasn't even happy hour, you should be ashamed!
 
3:00 PM
@TimStone I will try to control myself until Friday this time.
@ThiefMaster You're so racist!
 
My PokerStars frequent player points are about to expire? I'm a terrible compulsive gambler.
 
3:28 PM
@jadarnel27 Much appreciated. Friday is the designated "what the what" time.
 
Haha, right - got it =)
 
We like keep things to an "eyebrow raise" maximum all the other days, for appearance's sake.
 
It's not Friday?
 
I woke up kind of feeling like it was Friday. Imagine my disappointment.
 
My next official day after work following today is January 2nd. It's the biggest friggin' Friday I'm likely to get in my career :P
 
3:42 PM
Ugh, I need more coffee, I had to read that first sentence three times before my brain clued in.
 
I say official because I'll probably get bored and work at some point.
 
You should take up fifty side-projects like me.
Since my poor time management skills ensure that always works out wonderfully.
 
Even better, you should implement some of the projects that haven't left my head so I stop taunting myself with them. :P
 
Sounds like a good startup.
I steal your ideas so you don't have to worry about implementing them.
Reasonable fees, of course.
 
3:45 PM
Naturally
 
I suppose I should go jumpstart my car so I can drive it two blocks :/
 
Tags for multi-word things that are not hyphenated in their native habitats: hyphenated or not? E.g. would questions about the Java method veryCommonlyUsedMethod() be tagged or ?
 
I would think the hyphens would stand in for the camel case in its usual habitat
 
@Scrooginator That sounds unpleasant, good luck.
@PopularDemand Flip a coin. That's how it works now, I think.
 
I was asking because of touches-canceled, but on second thought, that tag is only used seven times, which probably means the method isn't notable enough to deserve its own tag.
 
3:52 PM
The non-hyphen variant seems to be more common in practice from the look of things, actually.
The hyphen more commonly taking the place of an actual space.
The tag should definitely not be if the method is touchesCancelled though, that's just silly.
 
Interesting.
 
Spelling-error'ddd!
 
Although I'm surprised that the method would actually be touchesCancelled and not touchesCanceled.
 
I both hate and do not understand why email subject lines in Microsoft Outlook are not spell checked.
 
Clearly someone awesome wrote that method.
 
3:55 PM
And don't we also have a rule about not making purely US <-> UK changes? So confusing!
 
Yes, although that's usually where the impact of those changes has no relevance. In this case the non-matching variant is simply wrong, since the thing it's describing doesn't even exist.
 
Right. Assuming nobody calls me in the next 5 seconds, I really am going to leave now :P
 
@Scrooginator Yeah, that is how the cool kids do it.
 
I was being facetious that time, but thanks.
 
prods @jadarnel27 for a "Your face was being facetious"
 
4:21 PM
If bad reviewers really were jumping into the review queue just to grind out badges, wouldn't they stop once the badges were theirs? And hasn't it been long enough for that to have happened by now? Here's the real question: has the rate of bad reviews gone down recently?
 
I mean, you need 1000 reviews for the gold badge, so I suppose that could take some time.
Not sure if there's objective data to say one way or the other about the trend though, hmm.
 
Your face was being facetious!
Okay, that was a little late.
But also: Your mom was being facetious!
 
4:56 PM
TIL if you're having trouble starting a vehicle, sitting in the passenger seat while trying is self-defeating :P
 
5:36 PM
If life was easy, they'd call it your mom.
 
6:08 PM
Nice one =)
Man. Popular Demand is laying down the snark today!
Probably because that's shorter than "It's not strictly necessary, but if you'd like to give us additional information about this error, and you've ruled out issues on your end, and this has been going on for more than ten or fifteen minutes, do so at our feedback site, meta.stackoverflow.com (assuming nobody else has already posted a similar bug report)." — Popular Demand 44 mins ago

This DBA I'm working with has database spelled two different ways (with and without a space) in his signature block.
Joe Schmoe
Data Base Analyst
Database Support Group
 
"Data Base".. wtf
 
Lix
Databasically that means he never proof-read his signature...
 
8:59 PM
All his bas... nah.
 
9:15 PM
Ah, that was actually "Senior Data Base Analyst" face palm
 
Speaking of that.
Wikipedia has some really useless information on it.
> A way to classify databases involves the type of their contents, for example: bibliographic, document-text, statistical, or multimedia objects. Another way is by their application area, for example: accounting, music compositions, movies, banking, manufacturing, or insurance.
