Well then.
 
Is there a different way I can write for(i = i; i < 10; i++)?
 
Upside down
 
Specifically for the i = i
 
6:06 PM
@ManofSnow Um, for (;i<10;i++)
 
i = 0?
 
Just drop the i = i
 
Why i = i?
 
@Manishearth Thanks
Because, I don't want I to change
That was just an example
 
Or, for (;++i<=10;)
 
6:06 PM
Yeah, the semicolon
 
@ManofSnow i will change
 
If you don't want i to change, assign i to some other variable you use as your counter.
 
@Manishearth All caps? Not sure that's spam, just crap :P
 
Well, it is a Minecraft question
 
6:11 PM
@ManofSnow Allcaps is part of the spamdetector
yesterday, by Tim Post
@Manishearth What you built is a crap detector, that also detects smoking crap.
 
@3ventic Minecraft PE, the mobile minecraft
@Manishearth Lol
 
Same audience
Probably younger, actually.
 
does it even have true positives, this filter? Not that I don't detect it, but...
 
It doesn't detect spam, but it does detect crap, so you should call it the poo detector, make it so they think you misspelled 'potatoe'
Charcoal now has the ability to load flaggable comments and load more and load more :D
 
@JanDvorak It does. There was some other caps spam the other day. But I can disable it if you wish
 
6:13 PM
don't. Crap is crap even if it's not spam.
 
@JanDvorak Yeah, it can be an edit the crap suggester
 
but, sometimes it's just not worth to polish a steaming turd
 
I'm trying to find a literature sheet that I lost from last semester online, but can't find :P
 
@ManofSnow s/edit/flag
@ShadowWizard It listens to everything, even itself.
It's a wrapper, not a chatbot. The chatbot I made was just for testing the wrapper
and that was actually just an interactive commandline chat interface (yay! command prompt!)
@DoorknobofSnow That's probably because chat uses two methods to get data from the server, websockets and XHR fallback. The fallback is not deprecated, the devs say that they will ever make websockets a dependency, just an added bonus. So there's an object that does the choosing and using of server communication methods
 
Just... no
 
6:43 PM
@Manish My chatbot that eval's Ruby code that you tell it to works; I would show you but I'm not at home :-P
(You can look through the transcript to see it though)
 
@ShadowWizard why not put it under productivit....lol what am I saying
@DoorknobofSnow websocket?
Mine does have a !!/random feature, just that I may have disabled it
 
@Manish Nah, it just polls /events
I'm going to try to turn the bot on with teamviewer :-P
 
@Manishearth Stack Exchange is the opposite of productivity. Working... checks SE. School... checks SE. Anywhere... checks SE. :P
 
Ok, I broke !!/random
actually badp broke it
long story
 
I just connected to my computer with teamviewer :-P
 
6:46 PM
@Manishearth ? What equals broke?
 
bot ready. type >>{ruby code} to eval that code.
 
>>{exit()}
 
@Manishearth: Error in eval: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting tASSOC
{exit()}
^
 
>>exit()
 
@Manishearth: Error in eval: Insecure operation `exit' at level 4
 
6:47 PM
:(
>>1+1
 
@Manishearth: 2
:-D it breaks on infinite loop and I think I know why so I'll fix that when I get home
 
Should I ask a question on meta asking why non-professional programmers come to SO?
 
gtg bye
 
>> while True bsd
 
killed bot
@Manishearth: Error in eval: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting keyword_do_cond or ';' or '\n'
while True bsd
^
 
6:48 PM
lol
 
gah, don't know ruby
 
guys why do edits like stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/3958946 get approved?
 
@Manishearth I know the littlest of little of Ruby, which means I wouldn't be able to build a simple program in it
 
that's obviously too minor to matter
 
6:49 PM
@joeytje50 I CAPITALIZE ALL THE 'I's!
 
I don't know
They mispelled 'debugging'
 
that's obviously too minor though
 
@joeytje50 Mm... it fixed almost everything I can see...
 
If there's nothing more to fix in the post, the "too minor" bar is significantly lower.
 
6:50 PM
in Sandbox, 6 secs ago, by Manishearth
@Manishearth 0.248769748604
 
Too minor != very little
 
However, 2k users should do those minor edits.
 
works
 
@3ventic this
 
@3ventic Yep. I agree.
 
6:51 PM
Too minor == there's plenty of other stuff to fix beyond the suggested edit
 
I notice almost everyone skips lines in code formatting
 
Or too minor == adding very dumb tag and nothing else.
 
Yeah
 
oh by the way, suggested-edit review audits are way too obvious, and always use the exact same kind of irrelevant edits
 
vba instead of vb6 :P
 
6:51 PM
 
@JanDvorak Yep. For sure. :P
 
@joeytje50 "Added 'cheese' tag"
 
Those are supposed to be obvious @joeytje50.
 
and it's always like that, inserting complete gibberish
 
6:52 PM
Audits are only meant to catch robo reviewers who don't look at all
 
Should I ask what type of english people should post in?
Like in the UK, realize is realise
 
They weren't meant to be anything more than that
 
@ManofSnow doesn't matter.
 
@Bart okay well then I get it
 
@ManofSnow the internet english, of course
 
6:53 PM
@ManofSnow that has already been discussed. Doesn't matter.
 
@everyone I see.
 
because I wouldn't expect any of those audits to work on any real human
 
@joeytje50 they do
 
Yet plenty of users seem to fail them @joeytje50
 
@joeytje50 That's why they're called "robo reviewers" ;)
 
6:54 PM
@Bart not obvious ones like that, do they?
 
Oh yes
 
Can we buildings version commenters you look up use Mule ESB
what does that even mean
Regards this thank Murali
 
@joeytje50 Robot click approve, Robot click approve, Robot watch TV and click approve, Robot write script to click approve

by the way
that question used in my review audit
0
Q: Mule ESB licensing - Using Mule ESB community run-time within integration product

user3213955Can we use Mule ESB community run-time within our own integration product and redistribute it as closed source? Regards Murali

that's really a bad question and answer
 
Rather the point, no?
 
6:56 PM
well yes I get that it's a good question to use for a review
but the fact it's still an open question on SO is weird, isn't it?
and the answer is simply a link answer
 
@joeytje50 Rather. They normally use deleted questions.
 
Yeah, pretty bad post all-around @joeytje50.
 
@DoorknobofSnow So the JS in your post still isn't working for me..
 
The funny thing is bringing any bad post up here automatically makes it either get closed, deleted, downvoted, edited, or commented on. :P
 
Not surprising on Meta.
 
7:00 PM
@hichris123 well, have you tried catching all fish in a pond?
 
I read that as caching at first.
@JanDvorak Never fished before... :P
 
:O
Fishing is a fine and pleasant misery, in the truest sense of the phrase.
 
Sounds... fun. :P
 
It is :D
 
Does MathJax stuff parse in a onebox?
 
7:09 PM
please try
 
$m^n + m^x + m^n = 555555$ test test — hichris123 15 secs ago
Nope.
 
try one-boxing a math.se question

Q: find the sum $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac {\sin^2(kx)}{k^2}$, for $x\in [-\pi,\pi]$

user113576find the sum $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac {\sin^2(kx)}{k^2},$$ for $x\in [-\pi,\pi]$. I have written it as $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \left(\int \frac {\sin^2(kx)}{k^2} dx\right)'$$ I have done partial integration, but then I have to find this sum $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac {\sin^2(kx)}{k}.$$ Any...

Apparently not...
 
phail
 
Doesn't even work on chat.SE with the site set as math.SE
 
7:26 PM
@hichris123 What's the doc link for comment flagging?
 
@ManofSnow Um...
There you go @ManofSnow
 
@hichris123 Thanks :)
@hichris123 What do people mean when they say it isn't 'stable'?
 
@ManofSnow It's not even "publically released" yet. So the docs are up, however, it's technically not an API everyone knows about and uses.
 
Oh... okay :P
 
Yeah... we kinda figured it out from decompiling the Android app, and then found the docs to understand the methods.
 
7:38 PM
@hichris123 Lol :D, so what is 'option_id'?
@hichris123 I have no idea what that's talking about
 
@ManofSnow It's the flag option id. So what you have to do is call api.stackexchange.com/docs/comment-flag-options to figure out what the option ids are for flagging that comment, and then use that option id to flag it.
@ManofSnow That's why it's called Mathematics. Look at MathOverflow if you want more stuff. :P
 
@hichris123 I have to go through all that work just to see what the id of the flag type is?
 
Yeah...
 
Sucks...
 
It's just two API calls really. You just do comment-flag-options and then use that to get what to flag it as, then call create-comment-flag.
 
7:48 PM
@hichris123 I know, and it requires a lot of code to make GET requests in as3. I'm already making all functions in it anonymous
Some noobie keeps changing every 'burninated' to 'banished'

Q: Answers to Answer and Death by Jeff

Man of SnowI found in interesting bug today, I tried to delete one of my questions and it said 'sorry, this question has answers and cannot be deleted'. But, in fact, it only had one answer... Another question hangs in the balance of the universe. Is Jeff going to kill me? https://twitter.com/coding...

I have 4 rep from it, but 4 downvotes!
Whenever I go to see a SO question to see an answer, I always see the notifications bar, look at my notifications, and forget what I'm doing
 
8:03 PM
Anyone know anything about math here?
 
1+1=2. usually.
 
Not quite what I was looking for. Higher level math. :P
Let's see...
!! eval 1+1
 
1+1=0! ;)
 
@hichris123 2
 
!!eval while(1) { document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('div')); }
 
8:06 PM
@ThiefMaster "ReferenceError: document is not defined"
 
@ThiefMaster I almost feel like giving you comments to delete now. ;) Know anything about modulus?
 
yes (just ask your actual question in here...)
 
So it seems like it would be ($x^m +y^n - z^r)/ p_1 = remainder$ $0$, however, how can this work since the sum shouldn't be close to $p_1$? (Also, $x^m +y^n$ should equal $z^r$, so some results from this should have $x^m +y^n =z^r$.) — hichris123 13 mins ago
Ug, unMathJax'ed stuff looks ugly.
!! eval 1=1
 
@hichris123 "ReferenceError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment"
 
!! eval sqrt -2
@ThiefMaster Any thoughts?
 
8:18 PM
!! String=1; "a"
@ThiefMaster with arguments.callee.caller I can break out of the function, but not sure if I can leave the scopejail
 
!! eval sqrt(-2)
!! eval 1+1
Mm, I think we broke it. :P
 
@hichris123 nope
 
That makes two of us confused. I'll just go back to staring at it and being confused. ;)
 
It's the ghost of Rebecca!!!
 
8:37 PM
@animuson how?
she no have diamond
 
@hichris123 the API should become public very soon.
The docs are still hidden (unless you know the URL) because we've been changing them a lot and when they're released version 2.2 needs to be locked to not break things.
 
@KasraRahjerdi What do you mean by locked?
 
@Manishearth Apparently she viewed a flag on the post when she had a diamond. When a new flag pops up it includes all the moderators who viewed it previously.
 
ah right
 
@hichris123 I mean the inputs and output won't be changed.
For example that create-flag-option one's logic changed at least a dozen times in the last few months
But when 2.2 becomes public we can't randomly change it for our purposes since it would break anyone else using it.
 
8:44 PM
Ah, okay.
I'm going to have to find some fun stuff in the API. :P
 
find break
 
2.2 is going to be a great release, I'm excited to see what people make using it.
Every single part of the Android app (other than user creation) is in it.
 
@animuson Pretty much. :)
@Kasra Any ahem breakable stuff in there?
 
I've broken everything I've seen already, so I would hope not.
 
Pffft, the developers get to have all the fun.
 
8:48 PM
I wonder if the API includes any of Shog's fine china...
