Why are MSE chat users so negative as of late?
 
@Unihedron I don't know but that makes it two quits in this week..
 
I believe there's a direct correlation between the number of starred messages not by Bart and the number of grumpy chat users.

@rlemon Agreed... cv'd non-repro issue.
 
yay, my question got closed. Now I get to argue for its existence on Meta.
 
What goes on every day when I'm not here? O-O
@Undo That always attracts upvotes...
 
2:30 PM
@Undo yet another rant
 
So what is Stack Overflow Exception I still ponder
 
@bjb568 To be honest, I don't care about downvotes. I care about the quality of the site, and consistency of policy.
 
@Undo link?
 
@Unihedron me no rant :P
 
I totally agree Undo

Q: How can I simulate the Apple Watch for development purposes?

UndoI just downloaded the Xcode 6 GM, and I'd like to see how my apps work with the Apple Watch connected to the simulated iPhone. How can I simulate this new device on my MacBook?

@zigi You seriously don't know what a SOE is?
 
@Sam I do know in programming
but I thought it might be a section of the SO site
I didn't think of it in the original context

2:41 PM
@Undo I don't love that question, but I wouldn't have closed it. Lemme see if I can flag it without reopening by fiat...
 
@BenCollins you can
a custom flag should do it, if that's what you mean.
 
k, flagged
 
@BenCollins it's got 3 reopen votes currently, your binding vote would put it at 4. Not much harm in that, me thinks.
 
3 now? ok. I can do that.
I just don't like to override 5 close votes since I'm not an elected mod
I did dismiss my own flag as "helpful", though ;-)
 
status-reopened
 
2:44 PM
... just as I had a nice post written.
thanks Ben :D
 
Let's close it again!
 
sorry.....not sorry?

@Unihedron yeah!
no I am in good mood today :)

FWIW, it is a bit odd to use that notation. I don't think I learned about it until I took Discrete Mathematics or Foundations of Mathematics.
 
@Unihedron did you try to check whether your account is safe or not.?
 
... so they want me to put my id into a russian site to check my gmail?\
 
Nope. I don't care about whether my gmail being safe.
If my gmail is compromised, so be it. I don't need paypal receipts.
 
@rlemon as per the link you can use this isleaked.com where you do not want to provide your email ID on this website, you can hide the last three characters of the username, for example abc***@gmail.com instead of abcdef@gmail.com. The website will then display all the Google usernames that start with 'abc'.

@Unihedron I'd keep it deleted until the OP cleans up his Q.
 
I might make deleted posts to discourage rep farmers. If they dare answer, I'd undelete.

@SterlingArcher Oh that is such a great film.
 
I agree!
 
@zigi ??? what is this song
 
@AnnaLear Check; that's fine too.
 
3:36 PM
@Unihedron it is relaxed song about the farmers
because I see how fond of them you are
 
Were it within my power I would gather every rep farmer's user profiles, find their addresses and deliver a cookie.
 
Ahahaha
 
@Braiam well I'd say the first paragraph is...
as an aside, there's always the possiblity of a historical lock over deleting...
 
mm... did you read the question?
 
3:48 PM
@Braiam I just quickly glanced at it....
but if someone complains on meta about the deletion of an admittedly off-topic question...
 
@Vogel612 he admitted it should be closed...
 
close != delete
 
I don't think I have to post the lifecycle of a question blog post, right?

Hey, I was going to write up a TypeProvider in F# for StackExchange using the OData feed. That is, I was going to do that until I noticed it is no longer supported. Does anyone have any advice for writing up a TypeProvider for StackExchange that doesn't require the OData feed?
 
now if I just knew what the OData feed was, I could possibly help you ;)
 
4:16 PM
Ah, I barely know myself! It seems to have been a nicely-formatted API access point for applications to read from StackExchange.
There is still a link to it on the data.stackexchange website, but it is down, and elsewhere on meta it was noted that if it broke again, they weren't going to fix it.
 
there's the SE-Api 2.2...
 
Forgive me for being ignorant, but how could I access that? Just via HTTP GET requests and such?

@BlackVegetable exactly. keep in mind the response will probably be JSON...
 
JSON should be good for getting type information. Now I've just got to learn how to do basic things in F#. I haven't worked in it before!
 
ain't tag wiki's indexed? meta.stackexchange.com/q/122963/213575
 
@Braiam naah why should they??
IMO there's no real use in indexing the tag-wiki..
maybe if you got too much free time you could consider indexing the excerpt, but there's just too many empty wikis...

J.Musser I saw that...pretty awesome
 
@TGMCians Hi!
 
@codeMagic Yeah, I like the pen.
 
The cool thing is, I watched it with my 9 year old and on most illusions he says, "Oh, I know how he did that"
And he did know too
 
@codeMagic Well I know, if I think long enough.
The snapple trick I didn't get.
 
Yeah but he's 9 and knew right away ;)
The snapple trick was actually basically the same as the salt trick

looks like they just ditched the rooms they were in

yeah I kicked him out
done and done
thanks
 
@rlemon It has been dealt with
 
Is Stack down for anybody else?
That answers that
 
7:28 PM
yeah, I think a cdn.sstatic.net server might be out
 
Down for me.
 
I thought production servers shouldn't use CDNs for that reason?
 
what do you think cdn are for?
 
Everything's working here, try routing cdn.sstatic.net to 190.93.247.58 in your hosts file.
That's what it resolves to here.
 
Mobile interface works
 
7:32 PM
@FlorianMargaine in my (lack of) experience, CDNs are hosted scripts. I take it this is more than just a script?
 
Content Delivery Network. Caching of everything.
(images, scripts, what have you)
 
@SterlingArcher what do you use a CDN for? what is its purpose?
 
damn hackers won
 
it works for me...
 
I knew we shouldn't have kicked him from the rooms
 
7:34 PM
@FlorianMargaine normal a CDN for me would be like, the bootstrap or jQuery source code. It's useful for keeping up with latest scripts, but it creates a 3rd party server dependency
@rlemon what happened?
 
Well, nope. That's not what CDNs are for
 
nahh just more user joins chat spam
 
I'm on mobile right now... Give me a couple minutes.
 
CDN's are for serving your content fastest from servers closes to the recipient
amirite?
 
Not only that
 
7:35 PM
right
 
But that's one of the purposes, yes
 
@FlorianMargaine well ofc, but wasn't that their original intent?
 
The original intent was wrt the parallel downloads limitation per domain afaik
 
I didn't know CDNs were like that!
 
A browser only downloads x resources per domain in parallel, if you serve content from another domain, you get more parallel downloads
So... @SterlingArcher cdns are only useful in production environments :p
 
7:37 PM
One day I hope I can teach YOU something @FlorianMargaine :P
@FlorianMargaine but I was reading an article that CDNs for scripts (jquery-latest.js for example) was not good
Hmm lemme see if I can find it
 
Yeah it's not good to use latest.js because it changes, and you haven't tested your website with the latest, only with a specific version
So use cdns with jquery-x.x.x.js and not jquery-latest.js
@SterlingArcher no need to find the article ^
 
Ohhh ok, that makes more sense
 
in The Garden Shed on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 1 min ago, by Jon Ericson
We are looking into the CDN issues now, hang tight.
I feel like blowing something up.
 
That is literally the reason I don't play minecraft
 
lol
 
7:44 PM
Those things always come out of nowhere and blow me up from behind
 
I played for a bit.. idk. wasn't super fun for me
 
@SterlingArcher It's for the creative.
 
it was fun, but not enough so to keep my interest
Terraria gets more updates it seems
 
I'm creative D:
 
7:46 PM
@SterlingArcher I was super good at it, and I always killed them before they killed me.
And I always wore diamond armor.
 
Yeah I never got far
I would dig a hole to escape the night, and then they'd either drop in on me or I'd dig too deep and drop into a cave full of monsters
And building a dang pick axe took me like an hour lol
Granted this is coming from the guy who also can't beat Slender the 8 Pages
 
Except one time when I was in my house and they blew me up with all my chests full of valuables (such as a small chest stuffed with iron blocks, and 8 stacks of diamonds)
 
My friend runs his own server and does some crazy python scripting for it. He's a mad genius when it comes to minecraft
He has like.. a freaking nuclear reactor built
 
@SterlingArcher Oh yeah, he's probably playing the dns version.
I always played vanilla.
I did dns and it was too easy and dumb, like making a nuclear reactor took less than an afternoon.

The game was released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment alongside the film in 2014 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. == Gameplay == Continuing the trend of gameplay from previous Lego titles by TT Games, the game puts players in control of various characters from the movie, making use of Lego pieces to make their way through several levels...
