Goodbye, Bob
@hichris123 Too Broad, usually.
I have a website, but I don't know what to do with it...
I'm the most terrible image creator and/or editor
^ BOOTSTRAP! :P
I need to go find questions to reopen now... ;) How many reopen votes do we get per day?
Is logical on php questions like this
The closest I see in that question is ctype_alpha (function?)
21:18
@rene Mm... not sure.
Ohhh, if you're not sure then I'm not going to touch it
Meh, I don't really know... it's more of the tagging part (ctype vs. one for whatever). @rene
ctype has no wiki yet, what would you write in the wiki for php?
I really don't even know what cytpe is. :P
ctype is also used in vb.net so that makes it a tricky wiki/tag
21:23
@rene what the heck is ctype? I see python, c++, c, raspberry, locale (?)
wait.. ...
I dunno, I try to find out here... :-)
meh, just remove it...
I will only retag questions if I understand what I need to do. For php question I ditch it
for vb.net I'm okay
@rene So PHP == confusing? :D
Yes!
Can we upgrade this question to a retag request to get the ctype clear of questions? I can handle the vb.net ones and php but I'm unsure about the others — rene 53 secs ago
21:29
Mm... can we burniate ?
@hichris123 there's also stocks and yahoo-finance... soo.... you know what's used for...
@Braiam How many are [stock] -[yahoo-finance]?
187
questions tagged
stock not yahoo-finance
@hichris123 8, 7, and 6 yahoo... btw, google finance is there (4) there's a market (?) tag 4 and finance 14...
@Braiam I've already done a burniate request for

Q: Burninate or retag the [market] and [marketplace] tags

hichris123I was looking on Stack Overflow today, and happened upon the market (429) tag today. I saw that the android-market tag has been synonymized to google-play. However, market seems to be used not only for questions about the Android Market (now Google Play) but for questions about practically anythi...

@animuson: I am disappointed. You have not reviewed 1000 close votes today. :-)
21:38
?
@Braiam JSFiddle?

Q: Could we please update the link to the Wheel of Blame on the Tavern?

AsadFollowing the link to the Wheel of Blame script welded on to the Tavern currently results in this: Could the linked script be updated per the gentleman's request? The script is widely available on CDNs, so this isn't too difficult. I realise this isn't a huge problem, since the link is rarely ...

^ That has some info on it...
@Braiam you're using the wrong link
@Flyk nope...
21:43
@Braiam yep, the link you just posted != the link in that topic on MSO or the link in the room title
but doesn't have the latest additions (like blaming whoever is in the room right now)
the version you linked doesn't do that either
mm... weird this one has it jsfiddle.net/AYPpF/110/embedded/result
there, this is the good one jsfiddle.net/AYPpF/118/embedded/result
both of those look severely messed up from where I'm sitting
@OGHaza IE, right?
Those didn't work in IE9 for me.. but they did in Chrome.
21:55
Safari, the god of all browsers
ewwwwww...
Safari == death and destruction
Chrome, the real god of all browsers.
Agreed
I use a combo of IE and Chrome.
21:58
Blasphemers. Firefox is supreme.
I'd rather not use the internet than have to use internet explorer

works in IE11
Oh, @Undo, PDO vs. mysqli? (No animuson, I don't need this as an answer...).
@hichris123 PDO
@Undo Why?
22:05
a lightweight, consistent interface for accessing databases in PHP
mysqli is probable only usefull for mysql
@hichris123 Because acronym. And I learned it and I don't know mysqli.
@Undo I want data, facts, info. Not just because. :P
@rene I'm just using MySQL, though...
with PDO you could switch the store to progresql, oracle, mssql
Hmm...
what rene says sounds like a pretty good reason - assuming PDO has a lot of uses
think of the future!
@Undo You just Google'd it. I have that site up already. :D
From my viewpoint and no experience in php PDO looks the more robust and agile solution
PDO is more betterer that mysqli
I'm curious more on speed, performance (not so much security and easier to code).
WHAT!
22:08
@Undo -1 no freehand circles.
@Undo This is more for local use...
But security!
4
Though I probably should PDO or mysqli-ify my website...
@Undo But no one else will use it!
they both say performance: fast! :)
22:09
> The results are quite surprising: PDO performs better than MySQLi in all tested cases. You can find the source of these tests on Github.
from here
Pretty striking difference :P
@Undo Huh. So now find me data on mysql_. :P
@Undo 40% to 60% better... :P
@hichris123 But security!
@Undo I'm doing INSERT's... I want to know if it'll really be faster for me to use PDO vs. mysql_.
@hichris123 Then write your own tests and do it :P
22:12
@hichris123 for all projects I've run, both professional and personal, I was always glad I used an abstraction layer to my datastore that could handle a different db if needed
PDO is that for PHP
@Undo Too lazy.
@rene But... the future is weird.
Think about it: if @animuson were really bored, he could see your IP. If he then suddenly turned really evil, he could attack your IP and get into your local thing. Then he could delete everything!
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best
@Undo It has nothing important in it... just numbers and SE data dump. :P
@hichris123 He could change all your numbers! D:
Oooh a meta flag!
22:14
@Undo It's a lot of data. :P
@hichris123 update table set number=RAND()
Ug, need to work on that map thing... creates map.php
@Undo Some of the numbers are in text...
I love you Sublime!
@hichris123 He could change your text to INT(1)'s!
@Undo It would be really slow and I'd kill it. :P
What if he did it while you were sleeping?
22:16
It's off while I'm asleep (on laptop).
You sleep on your laptop?
3
What if you forgot to turn it off?
@animuson Mine gets nice and warm. I stuff it in my pillow.
@Undo I don't.
@animuson Yeah, it feels all nice and cozy.
I found out very quickly that glass + aluminium != pillow.
@hichris123 What if... you did?
@Undo Then... I'm dead?
22:19
@hichris123 Then animuson could change all your numbers!
@Undo But I'm dead so it doesn't matter.
Hiya @Gnome!
@hichris123 But all your numbers would be changed!
@hichris123 Ahoy.
@Undo Ug... it's so slow anyway...
@GnomeSlice What's up?
22:20
@hichris123 Nothing, ever.
And the DMZ people would attend your funeral and say bad things about your security practices!
@Undo It's still very slow... millions of rows.
I'd be more worried about MySQL killing me.
MySQL would only kill you if the DMZ people told it to...
But I run queries on it that last 600+ seconds!
But I make my things mine BTC, and none of them have killed me...
22:26
@Undo BTC?
@hichris123 bitcoin
@Undo How do you make MySQL mine bitcoin?
@hichris123 You don't. I make my GPU mine bitcoin.
!! define GPU
@Undo ^
Oh, duh.
A graphics processing unit (GPU), also occasionally called visual processing unit (VPU), is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display. GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics, and their highly parallel structure makes them more effective than general-purpose CPUs for algorithms where processing of large blocks of data is done in parall...
22:29
Which computer, though?
:P
@hichris123 Usually my iMac.
@Undo How much do you have?
@hichris123 Like very few.
And how the heck do you "mine" bitcoin?
@hichris123 Google it.
22:30
@Undo !! google how do you mine bitcoin
Sorry, Undo is not a bot. That didn't make much sense. Try typing 'google' into your address bar to learn more.
@Undo Okay, now I get it, but why does mining bitcoin give you money? Why do they give you money for doing some computation?
@hichris123 I dunno. You kinda discover them.
@Undo !! eval "Undo = null"
Nooooo!
Sorry, you can't do that because reasons.
22:33
@Undo So what does mining do?
@hichris123 !!googleit.
I can't explain it.
Partially because I don't understand it
@Undo I don't even get it. :D
mine dogecoin instead
I love you Sublime! Paste and indent.
@hichris123 You can convert tabs to spaces and visa versa too :D
22:35
@Undo My question is more like: you do this thing to compute something. So why does that give you money?
I don't know :P
Grr, those SR people don't know what's best for them :P
@Undo ?
They keep upvoting that one answer ;(
They need experienced mods. Undo != experienced :P
@Undo No, Undo == null right now.
Oh, forgot.
22:37
Please leave a message for him. Thank you.
22:58
I'm back
I'll work on my close review script thingy now :P
what's that? A replacement for the official queue? An audit-breaker?
@JanDvorak shortcut keys because @Undo says it's too hard to line up your mouse on the buttons :P
Lemme try it out once it's done :-)
but no, that's not my primary concern about the CVQ :-)
23:03
> Mining solves the Byzantine Generals Problem.
gtg again :/ Almost done with the close script though
> Next time, I'll look for an answer before asking a question.
Having this in your question is practically asking for downvotes...
....
@Doorknob may I review your code?
23:28
@JanDvorak What question?
-7
Q: What does the '+=' operator do in Javascript?

Jack DavisThe operator += is one that I have seen a lot in JavaScript and I have absolutely no idea what it does. Can someone simply define what it is and how I would use it in JavaScript? I found this example and I don't understand what is happening. var message = ""; if (document.getElementById("x") == ...

Well then...
@JanDvorak duplicated of one of java?
like srly?
close enough
nope...
> x += i IS NOT identical to x = x + i
> x += y means x = x + y
(reopen votes!)
23:35
@Braiam they are identical except for double evaluation of x (which doesn't matter in case of variables)
1
Q: Javascript: How does += work?

muudlessI'm new to Javascript and I'm a bit confused with the += sign. How does it work? 1) 1 += 2 // equals ? 2) var data = [1,2,3,4,5]; var sum = 0; data.forEach(function(value) { sum += value; }); sum = ?

@JanDvorak Java != JavaScript...
that should be enough
@Braiam It would be better to have a mod do it... 5 to reopen, 5 to close.
@hichris123 I know :P
+= means the same in both languages (also, I didn't notice the language of the dupe; also, I couldn't override the close reason except to "ot - too lazy to google")
Why are you speaking in all-bold? It's not easier to read. In fact, it's kinda rude.Jan Dvorak 27 secs ago
@JanDvorak someone just invalidated your comment :/
Java: `x += y` IS NOT identical to `x = x + y`
Javascript: `x += y` means `x = x + y`
23:42
not exactly "invalidated". It's still relevant w.r.t. the original revision
