Happy new SO Day!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to use up my CVs before the day switch, so there goes a plenty wasted.
 
Happy new SO Day!
I don't have enough rep to do cvs, so nothing wasted here!
 
someone ping me
 
@hichris123
 
oooh, cool
 
:2389688
@hichris123 What?
 
12:05 AM
 
@hichris123 How'd ya do that?
 
@J.Musser Under the star wall, there's an 'enable desktop notification' thingy.
Click it.
 
@hichris123 Ah, what does it do?
 
formats your harddrive

I clicked it.
 
12:07 AM
poor @J.Musser
 
@Shog9 Nah, should be more like ransomware.
 
@Shog9 Nothing happened.
 
@J.Musser oh well
 
Ah, my browser doesn't like it.
 
^ I made that happen. 1000 exactly!
 
12:14 AM
Go community!
 
Also, I'm back. For now.
My schedule is full for the next couple of months.
 
@michaelb958 Well, Hi.
 
anyone knows what was the "kill a support person button" incident?
oh, look, Shog knows
@michaelb958 only 24 more to go
 
12:48 AM
offensive?
 
@lostsock no
 
Are you asking if that is offensive?
Because it is not

I think I broke one of my chat tabs. It's oscillating.
 
12:53 AM
... what part of it is oscillating?
 
user157982
 
user157982
In fact, it's still oscillating.
 
user157982
I'm afraid if I close the tab I might lose this majestic feature.
 
woah.
That's... cool.
 
@nil reset the zoom
 
user157982
1:10 AM
No ಠ_ಠ
 
user157982
Also pretty sure zoom has nothing to do with an animation failing.
 
Has nobody noted this yet? battleforthenet.com

@TheWobbuffet quite a bit more partisan than most of the stuff I've seen.

Q: What should we do with [iphone6] and [iphone6+]?

Adam Eberbachiphone-3gs, iphone-4 and iphone-5 have been the pattern. Should these new tags also use the hyphen? A less important observation is that the phone is called "6 Plus," not "6+".

 
Is [iphone-\d] even useful? I mean... aren't all of them [ios]? — Braiam 8 secs ago
 
@Braiam is used for hardware-dependent/relevant issues.
 
@Braiam No. Neither is html5.
@AstroCB Can't people use tags like touch-id or auto-layout or whatever?
 
@bjb568 They could, but some things are better classified broadly.
 
@AstroCB which most of the time get misapplied either way
also... are we supporting iphone hardware issues?
 
2:22 AM
The versioning is important (the distinction between 6 and 6 Plus is less important).
@Braiam In relation to software, yes.
 
@AstroCB uh... then why ios exist?
 
@AstroCB But there aren't questions about specific iPhone versions. There are questions about features in phones.
@AstroCB auto-layout

@bjb568 They could, but some things are better classified broadly.
 
@AstroCB Define "better". You mean confusingly? In a way that encourages misuse?
 
@bjb568 The tags will exist whether you want them to or not; we might as well keep them clean.
Don't you just love it when terrible questions like this are used solely for the purpose of creating a tag when something new comes out so that you get a Taxonomist badge?

Q: Where can I find Apple Watch SDK?

AltaveronApple has just announced Apple Watch and said that SDK for Apple Watch is available for developers. But I don't see it on xCode 6 Golden Master. Where can I find Apple Watch SDK?

 
2:25 AM
@AstroCB that reason becomes moot since there isn't a iphone-\d question that isn't tagged iphone

The versioning is important (the distinction between 6 and 6 Plus is less important).

http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=[iphone-5]+-[iphone]+or+[iphone-4]+-[iphone]+o‌​r+[iphone-3gs]+-[iphone]
there isn't a single question which have "version" tag that doesn't have "iphone" tag
 
probably because you're searching for something completely different than you think you are

@Doorknob it was working fine with only [tag] -[tag]
 
2:28 AM
@AstroCB You could get them blocked by the system.
 
@bjb568 That won't happen.
Can someone with 10k give me a screenshot of this audit?
 
@AstroCB which audit?
 
@AstroCB I'm talking about what should happen, what will happen can be based on that. Not the other way around.
 
@Braiam Sorry; fixed.
 
@Doorknob!
 
2:32 AM
@hichris123 hrm?
 
@bjb568 Yes, but no one is going to go through and blacklist the tags.

Can someone with 10k give me a screenshot of this audit?
 
oh, sure, coming right up
 
@Doorknob Thanks.
 
@Doorknob Is that... spam? That just looks... strange. Kinda vaguely spammy. But no link.
 
2:34 AM
it's sql, right?
Oh, that does look odd
 
Looks like someone fooling around with nothing to do.
 
I think @bjb568 is saying that the Watch itself is too broad. They totally should've made it more svelte. Not that that's relevant here; if you want to develop apps for folks wearing fat watches, that's your prerogative. — Shog9 ♦ 3 mins ago

@J.Musser TWSS
 
Great, I've been Tavern'd.

Well… why did you think it's a good idea to ask a NARQ in a new popular tag where the tag police are patrolling?
 
@bjb568 Again, explain to me how it's NARQ or too broad.
It's my position that it's a completely valid question, with specific criteria of what I want, and a completely possible answer.
 
2:41 AM
Stop saying NARQ; you're making me nostalgic. :(
 
I'm not going to waste time debating this with you, though. If you really think it needs close, vote to.
 
@Undo can you think in a two paragraph answer that would answer your question with the current documentation?
 
Not me, not ATM, no. So what if it doesn't have an answer?
 
It does. It involves breaking in and stealing apple's docs.
Which is too broad.
 
Then someone answers it now with "not gonna happen right now", then when such a thing exists, someone answers with "looky at the thing, it's under the foo menu", and everyone Googling wins.
 
2:43 AM
exactly, questions needs an answer, if it can be realistically answered (without breaking any law) then is not a question
 
... Questions can exist without answers.
 
But they are bad questions.
 
@Undo are you saying that you are question-camping?
 
@Undo Both are useless.
 
2:44 AM
@Undo Example: "Why?"
That would get closed as too broad.
 
@J.Musser "I have a chainsaw, that's why"
3
 
@Braiam NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
 
@J.Musser ... that's a bad question. Good questions can exist without answers.
 
"How can I simulate a quantum computer?" WELL HELL THAT'S KINDA COMPLICATED, aint it?
 
@J.Musser s/chainsaw/machete/
 
2:45 AM
@Undo Like?
 
@Braiam STOP! you're scaring me!
 
@J.Musser STOP! Look and listen…
 
@Doorknob Just cause no SO users know doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
 
Okay, great, so you're saying @Undo's question is perfect. Problem solved; we can all go home now!
 
2:47 AM
@Doorknob Yep!
Everyone hates me! They starred Braiams evil threat!

@J.Musser "I have a chainsaw, that's why"
Maybe I'll just go away.
 
@J.Musser starred because EGOBOOST, that's why

@Braiam stared at what?
 
@J.Musser at the star icon, when he clicked it
 
@Doorknob gets out screwdriver
 
2:49 AM
@Doorknob has a key >:)
 
I would run, but that would be slightly difficult, given my form

in Root Access on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, Jan 10 at 15:20, by allquixotic
man, I've spent 10 minutes looking through the unanswered question list on SO and almost every single one of them is about some technology I've never even heard of, much less know how to answer
 
@Braiam Exactly. And are they closed? Nope.
 
@Doorknob Cast close votes if you think they are problematic, and see if they get closed.
 
2:52 AM
@Doorknob lets put it this way, the information needed to answer that question is not publicly available
 
@J.Musser No, the point is they're not problematic.
 
@Doorknob Then what's the big deal?
 
@J.Musser I'm not the one who's arguing that they should be closed
 
Random essay question: Do you feel more like a citizen of your physical community, the internet, or your country?
 
@bjb568 Yes.

@J.Musser No.
 
@bjb568 Yes.

Is anyone having problem accessing SO? It feels like, super slow... might be my network issue though
 
and you don't want to know how I will use them...
 
2:55 AM
@AndrewT. Not me.
Has Inf been on at all today?
 
@AndrewT. Blame google.
 
Might be my company network proxy/firewall.... hhh...
 
@bjb568 No, wheel of blame.
 
Thanks all
 
@J.Musser But google DNS!
 
2:56 AM
@AndrewT. blame caching
 
Ah, that's it.

@Unihedron Aren't you? Then what can you do?
 
@Unihedron Programmer? Or program error?
 
3:23 AM
@bjb568 Is it something you said? It feels like everyone left. :)
 
Well, I'll leave too! Goodnight!

seems a mod is active there
 
Why does drupal.SE always seem to get such spam?
Or is it confirmation bias that actually it's just because you highlight it in The Tavern and actually the spam is no more active than any other SE site?
 
@Ffisegydd Ask the spammers..
 
@Ffisegydd how can I tell? Watch the realtime tab

How comes that still no one here made a lame joke on the IWatch Digital Watch? I have the Den to annoy tend, I can't do all myself. You must develop your own insanity too, can't always wait for me to appear.

Why does drupal answers get so much spam?
 
@SPArchaeologist if that watch is capable of one thing, then it's mocking itself.

@Unihedron Nah, just wondered which of you are bots, and which are zombies.

@J.Musser yup
 
@SilentKiller Never tried one.
 
@J.Musser Moto don't have service centers in India so i don't prefer Moto

question about the roomba...
 
Go
 
why doesn't it clean up self-answered (and accepted) and closed as "not helpful to future visitors" questions??
I just took a downvote to the face for my self-closed and code-dump-ish question from feb. '13.
 
Because it's not negative score?
 
-4..
answer score 0.
 
Maybe it had high views?
 
11:51 AM
delete the answer, then
 
I just unaccepted it for the time being..
roomba should run at 1AM UTC, right?
 
if you want it deleted, just delete it
 
hmm..
yea the "Doctor it hurts when I do this. -> Then don't do this!" seems to be a recurring pattern for me..
 
could someone please clean up this guy from the javascript room? chat.stackoverflow.com/users/4026711/user4026711
