Damn spammers are trying to sell me ziplock bags now…

A Ziploc bag keeps your bathroom pass dry and non-gross. Buy one today!

A Better Syntax for Scheduled Tasks

Bret Copeland on August 27, 2015

There are lots of domain-specific languages for schedules. The most prominent might be Cron (for *nix scheduled tasks), but there's also RRULE (for iCalendar events) and many others. Cron isn't exactly what I'd call human-friendly. Can you tell me what 10 8,20 * 8 1-5 means if you don't use Cron often? Some DSL's go in the opposite direction and are wildly verbose, or will sacrifice expressiveness for simplicity.

Scheduled? Jeff would be proud.

@NormalHuman By the end of the year, I'd have 180*7 nested bathroom pass bags.

7 trips a day to the bathroom during a school day seems...excessive.

You should get that checked or something

I'm stuck at freshman convocation. Stupid robe. Stupid marching tradition. So medieval.

user259867

But I suppose they didn't have smartphones in middle ages.

Robe? March? Medieval?

9:15 PM

@NormalHuman Traditions?

what's that?

Q: Why HackOverflow will not become a site

Proposal: HackOverflow The definition of this proposal was completed yesterday. I wanted to be sure the entire 'Definition' Phase play out so we could survey the entire scope of this proposed site before evaluating the viability and utility of this proposal overall. To date, there have been 14 a...

@NormalHuman I'm glad they're not planning on making a mess they can't clean up later.

If sites can't be made because their names may be misinterpreted, why did lifehacks, which also happens to generate exactly zero useful content and has no scope at all, make it thru even the early stages of definition? — bjb568 11 secs ago

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Is anyone from lifehacks here? We need to dispose of um . . . a cat . . . with sunglasses . . . here.

Not anymore, at least not often... since the great Tavern vs Lifehacks split

ping us in the tag burnination if you see anyone, it probably means we have a bit of time to devote.

A: What should I do when faced with an obsolete comment conversation? Why was my flag declined?

Comment threads should not be deleted, period. Comment threads have value to future readers, independent of any edits you may have made to the post in response to the discussion. There is no such thing as an "obsolete" comment thread.

Sheesh, 54k user not understanding that; I need to lower my expectations from "1 rep"s.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Rep is only a proxy marker, although a reasonable one. I am constantly surprised by >10k users with silly ideas about how SE works or doesn't work.

A: Coworker asking another coworker to vote all his questions and answers to gain points. What should I do?

That's perfectly fine if the answer is right and is not of poor quality. It's the same as if you would share your answers/questions on Facebook, Twitter or G+ for which there are explicit share buttons.

@bjb568 So we can perforce expect contumelious entreaties of hominy osculation from you now? Eggzellent: the hounds stand ready for release.

@Braiam I’m genuinely sorry to hear that. Moderators are human, too, and SO can be a tempestuous crucible to refine or break humans in. But I would not presume to offer this in defence of your unknown referent sight unseen.

@bjb568 No hairy eyeballs from you, Bart.

Nor hairy anything else, thank you very much.

Though I dislike the medieval robes, the gathering itself isn't so bad, and some of the speeches were entertaining. Seeing the entire incoming class for the first and only time is also something special.
