hichris123

How did that get an upvote?

Doorknob

-1d and dv'd

I need to get a good "vote" abbreviation list...

dv = deletevote, cv = closevote, vv = downvote, ^v = upvote :P

Jan Dvorak

I really need to implement the answer monitor

Doorknob

@JanDvorak API /events might help

Jan Dvorak

7:32 PM

+v/-v

hichris123

@JanDvorak Yeah, that. And @ManishEarth needs to get SmokeDetector back up.

Jan Dvorak

@Doorknob does it hold the answer bodies?

Doorknob

@JanDvorak An excerpt, IIRC

(which is enough for cases like these)

hichris123

Gone. :D

Jan Dvorak

not sure; one guy on MO added a disclaimer at the top, which pushed out the bad part out of the preview

at least enough to catch most cases

ah, right; we're detecting spam network-wide

hmmmmm

Jan Dvorak

What's the URL? api.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/events/ fails

hichris123

cv-plz stackoverflow.com/questions/22595954/…

Doorknob

@JanDvorak auth required

anyway, it has to be network wide, so that won't work

Jan Dvorak

:-/

Doorknob

hmm, maybe batch API calls for every 100 posts that appear in realtime?

Jan Dvorak

7:37 PM

@Doorknob I think the only solution is to queue up requests and poll by 100

Doorknob

I beat you by a few seconds :D

Jan Dvorak

get answer IDs for every 100 questions or 1 minute, and then get bodies for every 100 answer IDs or 1 minute?

Doorknob

perhaps

Jan Dvorak

I'll let the numbers tweakable

Doorknob

this is tricky though; it would be much easier if there was a 200-answers-newest and 200-questions-active websocket though

Jan Dvorak

7:40 PM

@Doorknob not even a socket; a feed that I could poll every 100 socket events would do

hichris123

Uh... can you people get to SO?

Jan Dvorak

@hichris123 positive

Doorknob

@hichris123 1

hichris123

sigh Why's it always me who has issues?

Maybe I flag too much?

Doorknob

what are you getting?

Jan Dvorak

7:41 PM

@hichris123 False

@hichris123 Undefined

@JanDvorak Hey! :P

But yet I can still chat... weird.

Doorknob

it's a problem with your internet connection

try pieisgood.org?

animuson

Chat uses different servers. ;P

Doorknob

(a site you've probably never visited)

Jan Dvorak

DNS issues don't kill existing connections

hichris123

@Doorknob Yum! Pie.

Doorknob

hmm, cmd -> ping stackoverflow.com?

hichris123

No, I can open up the Tavern in another window...

Doorknob

hichris123

And now it's back.

Hmm... anyone with dev level access in here?

Jan Dvorak

Doorknob

hichris123

@JanDvorak No, to my brain. :P Yeah, to SE.

animuson

hichris123

If there is any dev in here, just check the logs from my IP or just check the logs and see if there's any strange stuff in there.

Doorknob

I can't believe I beat PHP with Ruby by one character on PPCG. >:O

animuson

@hichris123 Well if you couldn't connect to their server, then the server couldn't have logged that you couldn't connect...

Braiam

hichris123

@animuson Well, yeah, however, there may be some weirdness in there... who knows.

Jan Dvorak

We are no longer unsuspecting

but, why are you throwing cheese sticks at random?

Doorknob

shhh @animuson, the nice men in the white coats are here, everything will be ok

animuson

But, but. They said I was all better!

hichris123

Was is past tense. You were better, but now...

Doorknob

They'll give your cheese back later

animuson

7:59 PM

Is it cheese related?

Doorknob

No.

:O

Jan Dvorak

Is it chess related?

Doorknob

Also no.

Doorknob

hichris123

Doorknob

(The key is not to scare the wildlife)

animuson

@Doorknob can't escape the room because he needs himself to open the door.

Doorknob

@animuson No, I am a sentient doorknob, therefore I can open and close at will.

hichris123

I'm... stuck with the crazy wildlife now? Oh no.. :P

Magmar is a first generation? Why did I think it was a second?

@animuson You need to delete more questions!

A: Texture going out of scope in SFML

As far as managing SFML resources goes, e.g. textures, I can only recommend this template: https://github.com/LaurentGomila/SFML-Game-Development-Book/tree/master/02_Resources/Include/Book This is a, in my opionion, simple way to access the texture whenever you need it to construct your buttons...

Q: The Note of Destiny - place a note on a staff

The zombie apocalypse has come, and the world is coming to an end. Suddenly, someone discovers a formula that takes the date and spits out the perfect note to play on a piano that instantly kills every zombie that hears it. Unfortunately, there is only one piano player left in the world, and he h...

If link goes dead or other the answer is useless, but at the same time I feel using the "It is not an answer" is sketchy, as it might be an answer, but of low quality.

Doorknob

@animuson I have no idea what you're talking about :-P

user13500

However it has potential for improvement if user include relevant parts of link with explanations.

Doorknob

@user13500 Then comment.

user13500

9:07 PM

Yes, I do and have done, but is flagging excessive? It is a big task to re-visit such answers, (as own review history of such answers grow), after say a week to check if it has been improved. If it hasn't I'd be inclined to flag as low quality. But that is perhaps only suitable if links go dead.

@Braiam Around?

Found why I have those weird review URL's:

// We need to parse the url on the client, because the History plugin generates different "permalinks" for IE
// compared to modern browsers. More specifically, the reviewTaskId is in the location *hash* on IE.
// Also, the History plugin rewrites wonky IE-generated permalinks on page load on modern browsers, but this
// happens before this function is called.
//
// For example, IE might generate this permalink:
// meta.stackoverflow.com/review/low-quality-posts/3180#./…

Braiam

@hichris123 is funny: modern browser != IE

Nacimota

I'm on IE and I don't have that problem

Also, why is my JS broken?

I can't do reviews! Or clear unread inbox items! AAAAAAARGH!

Can still upvote comments, though. Weird.

I'm not getting websockets either.

hichris123

@michaelb958 ... why do you even still have the Surface after all of this? :P

michaelb958

@hichris123 Financial reasons. If I could get a Surface Pro and put Firefox on it, I would in a heartbeat.

hichris123

@michaelb958 Firefox? Really?

michaelb958

This is the one situation where the Responses tab on your profile is useful.
