When you get diamond on LH, I think it gives you mod privs for all chat.se rooms @Frank :D
@InfiniteSnowflakes but not chat.mse
Why do you want for chat.mse? For everything a RO does, someone shouts "power abuse". No fun at all @Frank
@Frank yet
@InfiniteSnowflakes except when a mod does... they shout "mod abuse!"
@InfiniteSnowflakes I was actually bein dumb/silly, sorry if you took me seriously :p
5:08 PM
Yes, I remember. Haney and @rene story :D
@InfiniteSnowflakes what was that?
Why don't you reply to messages much, @Inf
I mean like clicking the thing
I don't recall being part of it
:D
@Frank like this? :P
5:10 PM
yeah you never do that
Tree hug!
AAAAGGGHH
runs away
I mean
@Frank I am not on a computer all the time, very non-nerd :D
tries to run away
@InfiniteSnowflakes well, same here
@Frank Your roots, don't break your roots!
:P
5:11 PM
but I am usually not on SE when I'm not on the computer
@ProgramFOX My roots dig deep
lol
dumb typo there
@Unihedro Fortunately the question is not a code golf.
:p
@rene I meant the episode where Haney approved a flag and TGMCians got kicked and said bye to the tavern. Then there was a room where you discussed with Haney and Haney apologised to TGMCians in the Tavern. That day the room was visible in active rooms when I read it, now it is lost.
Moderation is tough.

@Braiam *pick your poison
5:20 PM
Yay I got 30 repz for 5932 characters written
@InfiniteSnowflakes Ah, I assumed that would stay between me and Haney if I didn't tell anyone ;)
What if I write and sell 5932 characters of code? Can I buy reputation from a reputation vendor for profit?

Q: Open Source Advertising - Sidebar - 1H 2015

Grace NoteIt is now January 2015, or pretty much on the boundary of it, and thus a new edition of our Free Vote-Based Advertising for Open Source Projects.

un-idiomatic word usage
who cares...
@Unihedro Refresh?
@AstroCB Refreshed three times in a row.
for all matters and purposes venom and poison are exchangeable
@Unihedro It's just a regular MSO link; there's nothing special about it.
5:23 PM
@rene No chance. Everytime I click "leave" the Tavern, it takes me to the list of active rooms and I stumble across crazy stuff in the most active room ;)
lol
user259867
@Braiam A venomous mushroom would be a mushroom that bites you and injects its venom.
user259867
Quite unlike poisonous mushrooms.
@Behaviour I didn't use "venomous" but "venom"
@InfiniteSnowflakes Oh? For me it sends me to the list of favourite rooms when I leave a room.
5:25 PM
@InfiniteSnowflakes I considered if the room should have been private but decided not to ask for that. Was that a good call?
I never favourited a room @uni. I am RO for both rooms, so I join from my profile.
@InfiniteSnowflakes That's actually only necessary if you are in lots of rooms.
Wait .... who made @InfiniteSnowflakes a room owner? That'll teach me to leave for a while ...

@Bart Now you notice? :D
5:27 PM
@InfiniteSnowflakes I sensed a disturbance
user259867
Dec 24 '14 at 17:08, by Shog9
Just make sure the beer stays cold, the piano stays hot, and the bartenders stay surly
@Bart How? I didn't clear any of your starred messages today ;)
> surly: Threatening, menacing, gloomy
why "gloomy"?
@rene I am not sure why private rooms are used, so I can't advise. But it doesn't have anything worth hiding in that room.
I guess we have an insight into the preferences of Shog there @Braiam. Not sure I want to ask more questions ...
user259867
5:30 PM
@Braiam This isn't the closest synonym. "bad-tempered and unfriendly" is closer.
user259867
Even closer is brusque, but I'm not sure that's helpful.
user259867
@InfiniteSnowflakes Even so, why resurface an old matter?
Yeah. It's a new year, enjoy it. ;)
Yeah. No reason. Just because rene asked, I looked for it. Now I am confused as well.
I will clear some of Bart's stars to clear my confusion.

I think it's interesting at least.

Pham's pings. ^
Ok thank you, how useful are questions like this?
@Sam don't check them, and see if something bad happens when it overflows an integer. :P
5:50 PM
Poor @Pham, he is overpinged.
wow that's so unfortunate for @Pham
@Pham really I mean it
I feel so bad for @Pham for all those pings
Me too, @Pham
I think @Pham would agree as well
Right @Pham?

A: How can I help a child learn to program?

user12026The other answers here are fine, but I'm worried there is one important fact that everyone overlooks : an introverted stereotypical nerd I'm myself this kind of person and you can't imagine how hard life is when you're shy and literally afraid of talking to others (this seems to be called s...

A: How can I help a child learn to program?

user3143First off, in terms of helping the child learn: Many/most schools have computer clubs. Encourage the child to inquire from other students, or ask the school professionals yourself. This will place the child with his peers developmentally, which is the biggest encouragement you can give. Talk to...

How does that even get 8 upvotes?
Stupid parents.
:P
The shy preteen needs real friends (humans), being glued to the internet and programming will only make them an introvert and make their life harder @bjb568
@InfiniteSnowflakes How does introvert -> life harder?
6:01 PM
@InfiniteSnowflakes that theory is full of holes...
For the answer I linked, the points 1, 2, and 3 are all immaterial. Any child with a parent who agrees to these points are going to have a disaster. Point 4 doesn't even convey anything, as the question mentions "He's learned this from the internet on various tutorial sites and Stack Overflow."
Independent problem solving, critical thinking, time management… Introversion isn't that bad.
Minus the Stack Exchange site recommendation, point 5 is immaterial as well.
IMO social skills matter, interacting and understanding people matter. I think none of you agree, but that's my POV.

@InfiniteSnowflakes I for one, am inclined to agree.

A: How can I help a child learn to program?

AaronFolks have already added some great suggestions. The only thing I can add would be to find something that he already likes doing, that programming would give him a competitive advantage in. For example, if he likes video games and knowing how to code means he could mod his system or software (...

What does luck have to do with that? :O
@Doorknob冰 Hey, is asking on Parenting the new hatting trick?!
@Unihedro Oooh, maybe I could go for the pizza hat on that? :D
wait, no, it's already an hour old :P
You should've linked it, then I would had added my perspective and maybe get the hat as well. :P
Go to lifehacks for the pizza hat @Doorknob冰, ask something and you will get answers 1)baking soda 2)vinegar 3)duct tape 4)baby wipes 5)lemon
@Doorknob冰 Ugh, Parenting's tag system is weird. [pre-teen]: someone between 11 and 14. [teen]: someone between 13 and 19. Well...

Hi @Jan, it's Jan today :)
Ha!!!
@Jack No, it proves mine - that you should share your own posts by yourselves and only to pick the better ones to share. The MSE Tavern encourages conversations like these, and the outcome reflected that users were interested in the specific post of yours. By the way, it did create a voting ring - after I link this answer of mine in the MSE Tavern and in a few rooms I'm in on chat.SO, it got me a Handegg badge in under 15 minutes. — Unihedro 6 mins ago
^ I find that a weak argument, but I can't think of a way to put it better.

@Unihedro HATS ARE AWESOME. Winter Bash will end in 3 days, 5 hours, 31 minutes and 16 seconds. :(

However, I wish it wasn't the one that goes overboard and uses random.org and has a grammar error
@Behaviour selected it ^

@TheWobbuffet I have looked at later versions, but those return always the same person if you click "Spin Again".
[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: HTTP TCP AND WEB SOCKET by Gunjan chhetri on stackoverflow.com
@ProgramFOX Yeah, I'll fix that
ok, thanks!
I'm just really glad that after all this time it's being used :D
and wow, that is my most useful code and probably my first real script o_O
which means... I have a lot of scripty things to change for better practices :P
almost VTC'ed the "MS word question" question
6:36 PM
You can thank Behaviour, the change was recommended by him
Dec 27 '14 at 4:42, by Behaviour
@InfiniteHappiness Yes, we do need the new wheel of blame here; as far as I can see it's safe.

Me neither!

@ProgramFOX Uhh yeah, I'm just going to try to fix this one thing where avatar images don't show up
6:47 PM
@TheWobbuffet first time, got it's Shogging through the snow ♦ fault :P
@TheWobbuffet They do for me.
But anyway, update request removed :)
@ProgramFOX I will follow the example of the other RO's and not change the link every week. Let's wait to till the room reaches a consensus.
yeah, the faded people's images don't show
am glad that it's not my fault
6:50 PM
@InfiniteSnowflakes The link has been the same for the past year I'm sure?
like, 84 or something
good idea, though, we should wait for the room to reach a consensus

is /triage cached?
> Come back in 7 hours to continue reviewing.
couldn't tell you :(
do you mean the number? yea, it's cached a lil
no, the queue itself...
@Unihedro hmm err. it's @inf fault
it showed me that there are no items in the queue, but when I go to rene's activity page and click a triage review I can review it
Maybe it's like suggested edit reviews, where a review is "checked out" to a person?
8:02 PM
resist the urge of blaming @Shog
@hichris123 probably this
@hichris123 that is how it works @Braiam
and why is everybody checking what I'm doing?

Q: Allow embedding of gifly/gfycat

badpThe only option to embed this kind of media is to link to the bandwidth-hogging 256-color low-framerate gif version, which is a waste when video tags are now things that have been existing for a while. Please bring audioless video playback to chat. Pretty please?

Even though programming is fun, keyboards and desks take a rough toll on the body. The young padawan has started at a very early age, he needs to consider some physical activities to make sure hes not getting carpel tunnel at 16.

I STRONGLY suggest yoga, and in its simplest form just do a YouTube search and do 15 min of stretches every day that hes not at school or some other activity.

He may think I'm joking (especially as a 14 year old) but the industry is very.... heavy... mainly because a programmer sits in one position and types. Build good habits now.
People suggest the weirdest things.
