Just get rid of DST? You guys have no imagination.

*ahem*

Imagine there's no timezones
It's easy if you try
All clocks in one position
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for today

Imagine there's just Greenwich
It isn't hard to do
No DST to write code for
no localizations, too

Imagine all the people
eatin' breakfast at four

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one......

@jadarnel27 Yeah, what ThiefMaster said. In my case in particular, I'm working on a crude BitTorrent library/client as a project for learning Go, and displaying content from the data dumps would make nice a example of programatic usage. However, the Go standard library only has built-in support for formats like GZIP and BZ2. The only library I see that supports LZMA/7Z looks poorly-maintained and incomplete, and I don't feel up to figuring out how to implement my own bindings.

@JeremyBanks Yeah, can't blame you there. Sounds like it's not really worth the time / effort in your context.

@perhapsPekka In my case, I'd be eating breakfast at ~21:00.

I don't know the details of the case but I find it disturbing that a mod would just repeat as facts what I assume are just allegations up to this point.

A guy runs a criminal empire and offers to pay to have people killed, but the disturbing thing is that Stack Overflow logs when users change their name and email address? — Bill the Lizard Oct 3 at 17:19

@kush because.....?

That seems pretty silly.

A mod needs to watch their mouth when talking about site internal issues - like user infractions, private messages, and such. That's what the mod agreement is there for. But that's it.

hi all anyone knows how to integrate chatbots within chatrooms

kush

@perhapsPekka because when you are a mod, you represent so.

perhaps Pekka

@kush I don't see why we should expect moderators to uphold journalistic princlples ("But wait, he's not been indicted yet, so we can't claim he did these things!") in an informal discussion about a high-profile criminal case upon which Stack Overflow has zero bearing. That makes absolutely no sense to me. You seem to be confusing moderators (who do a janitorial job during their free time with no compensation at all) with politicians.

Vignesh4303

does asking about integration of chatbot in a chatroom will be off topic at meta?

perhaps Pekka

@Vignesh4303 it'll be off-topic everywhere without a lot more relevant information.

What kind of chat bot, written in what kind of language? For what kind of chat room?

Vignesh4303

Hello World

For beginners of programming,testing,security etc Developers a...

github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot/wiki/Interacting-with-the-bot

this bot i planned to integrate with hello world room

but dont know how to integrate

perhaps Pekka

2:46 PM

The readme says

> The bot is currently a big dangle-on script running in your browser. Run bookmarklet.js in your browser to get it up an' running.

That seems to be the way to do it at the moment

Meaning you have to log in to the chat room manually, I suppose

(Don't know though, I haven't worked with this at all)

This guy has asked, like, 15 questions in the last week.

Most of which are not very high quality

Two in the last 24 hours were duplicates of one another.
