@cVplZ eh, so true
 
pushing a fix for the canary...
my current goal concerning Canary is to migrate to node-webkit, though
 
@JanDvorak will it make it a standalone bot like Smokey?
 
most likely I won't do autoreports
depends on how good my intended new heuristic is
 
nice recommendation in that title though..
 
(canary ^&running, btw)
 
9:06 AM
@ShadowWizard hopefully, since Smokey appears to take random breaks all the time
 
-7 and still alive. sigh.
 
Gone
 
@cVplZ yeah, plus I never see it report spam here in the Tavern, only ALL CAPS
 
@cVplZ: lostsock was a nicer avatar
 
I wonder what was @cVplZ's first display name. Wish I had a diamond just to see this! :D
 
9:09 AM
Alien arrays?
 
Sep 26 at 7:39, by SmokeDetector
smokey's version of spam report ^
 
Smokey has regex to catch bad words in title and usernames
 
@cVplZ never seen it, maybe it was just a temporary test?
@InfiniteRecursion hmm.... yeah, nike and fitness, right.
 
yes, skin, baba etc are added as well

and women ^
 
9:11 AM
yes, women too :(
 
but that was fixed after the rampant sexism was brought to the attention of everyone on meta
 
sexism...on SE? Are you joking? ;)
 
I'm fascinated by that spike in the 1910's... Was murdering a popular past-time for women in that time period or something? — Bobo 11 hours ago
 
@cVplZ sharpened knitting needles were introduced. Accidents aplenty.
 
Nowadays, we don't murder, we only inspire the closure of sensitive bots.
 
9:18 AM
Fine. I was worried I might get killed for habitually misrepresenting what people say
 
I borrowed a C# introduction book from the public library, and I realized that I'm wasting my time because C# is just like Java...
 
@cVplZ the question sucks
 
After a few chapters, it's different @uni
 
@JanDvorak yea, but it doesn't even appear to be asking for a tool/resource though
 
9:19 AM
flagged 3x NAA
 
I'd say the blog link at the very least is spam..
 
@JanDvorak ok, ditto
 
The answerer is a new guy (since today) with no bio or associated accounts
@Vogel612'sShadow It is disclosed
 
@Unihedron keep on reading. And make sure the book is recent
 
@Bart It's for C# 2008. Does that make a difference?
 
9:22 AM
@JanDvorak "My implementation of Robolectric"
 
You'll miss out on 4 and 5, but at least you'll already have LINQ and the like iirc
 
^ that disclosure is BS.
You don't implement a framework. and the question is asking about the setup...
 
If you say so, then you might also flag this same answer as spam
 
Too old @uni...C# has evolved a lot after 2008
 
aww, then I am indeed wasting my time.
 
9:24 AM
Mr Skeet has a book ...
 
Answers nuked...
 
Skeet book is good, I have a copy. Check if there's one in your school's library @uni.
 
Ok!
 
It isn't all that pricey
 
9:27 AM
@Bart Making sure they actually ship it over here is problematic, though.
 
Else, if all books are around the time of 2008, pick up any book by Peter Norton. Your programming will improve for sure if you read his text @uni.
 
Damn, this post got cleaned up FAST. Good thing I flagged it when I did.
 
Order from Amazon? Don't they ship to your location?
 
user nuked
 
And if you ever get into Unity 3D development ... don't get too enthusiastic about new C# features :D
 
9:29 AM
question: one can retract close-votes, correct?
 
Unity 3d is way too resource intensive
 
Unity's docs are disappointing, especially the yellow documentation.
 
@JanDvorak I'd say blatantly off-topic..
 
@Vogel612'sShadow yes, but you don't get the close vote back to use elsewhere, which sucks
 
9:30 AM
@Vogel612'sShadow CVs, not flags
 
@Unihedron dupe-cv counts as flag then?
 
@JanDvorak .. how so? Compared to what?
2
 
@Vogel612'sShadow no. That would be an understatemenet.
 
@JanDvorak but it fits the bill better than VLQ..
anyways..
 
Compared to...your jokes @Bart :D
2
 
9:31 AM
@Vogel612'sShadow dupe close votes are still close votes
 
@Bart one-minute loading times are just not OK
 
interesting...
 
@JanDvorak ... what are you using it for? I never had one minute loading time. At least not due to Unity.
 
Most web games in unity take way too long to load
... and Unity makes Chrome unusable the whole time
 
9:34 AM
@Vogel612'sShadow I think it expired.
Er... What?
 
If they try to load an insane amount of resources at start, sure @JanDvorak. One of the things about Unity is that it generally "just works". And unfortunately plenty of developers stop there.
 
@Unihedron 5 minutes ago, referring to a now self-deleted question
 
@cVplZ They have ~7k on CR. The screenshot is on CR, look at the tags.
 
@Bart If you are so eager to work with unity, seems Legend of Equestria is still looking for volounters
 
9:35 AM
also I couldn't have seen the close-dialog...
 
@Bart define "insane amount of resources". A crappy minecraft clone running at one FPS made by a 13yo shouldn't have too many resources attached to it.
 
link to that question?
 
@JanDvorak depends what they dumped into their project, where they put it and what got bundled.
@SPArchaeologist not eager ... working with it on a daily basis. Well, that's a lie. Doing sim work at the moment. But once that's done it's part of my daily routine again.
 
I actually like building games with Java and OpenGL, so I don't think I'll look into Unity anytime soon. Thanks for the advice though @Bart
 
The problem is, most or all of the games I've tried take their time loading, and they freeze the entire browser while they're loading.
 
9:37 AM
@JanDvorak I think I see your problem..
take the browser out of the equation and you should have a better gaming experience
 
I'd like more focus on WebGL
@Vogel612'sShadow not an option for web games
 
@JanDvorak who needs web-games..
 
@JanDvorak depends if he can keep the block style for all the graphics
 
@Vogel612'sShadow web gamers?
 
9:38 AM
@JanDvorak blockstory.net
 
@JanDvorak ... there is no such thing...
 
ok... freeware gamers
 
@JanDvorak Unity 5 exports to WebGL. No more plugin. And what you say might simply be Unity's strength also being its problem. Anyone can easily create something. Doesn't guarantee it's optimized though. Check the Unity tag on occasion for the programming skills on display there ...
@Unihedron inspired by Notch I see? :p
 
I've seen plenty of WebGL stuff running at 3 FPS, but I haven't seen any WebGL stuff freeze the browser until a tab kill.
 
@Bart Not really, most of my time making games were on Android.
 
9:41 AM
Ah
 
And Android SDK comes with OpenGL, which I liked using.
 
Haven't done real OpenGL in a while. Should get back to that at some point.
 
:)
 
A subset of OpenGL though (OpenGL ES), but yes, it supports OpenGL natively.

@JanDvorak Which would you vote for if you saw revision 1 of the answer?

12:24 PM
@Unihedron why on earth is that spam or offensive?
 
@Bart I didn't imply that it was, I thought it was NAA, but the user seems to disagree.
 
@Bart That... was me
 
Yeah, not really referring to you @Unihedron. Just the status of it
 
Why @Mooseman? You better really make sure it is, otherwise the penalty might be far too harsh for the user.
 
12:25 PM
Oh noes!

@Bart: Aren't you a member of the den?
 
Nope
 
I am surprised.
 
@InfiniteRecursion what made you wonder?
 
All of you are there, except Bart.
I took a look after Shadow wizard told me about formally taking the membership option :)
 
@InfiniteRecursion And I even reserved you a place in the Sugarcube (menu)
 
12:49 PM
I have permanent residency card of Sugarcube too :D
 
@DroidDev if you checked your card, you would have notice that you are classified as "animatronic guest entertainer". You are more available than me, so I guess it was due.
 
Thanks @SPArchaeologist <3 :D
Am I in the lunch menu or dinner menu?
 
@SPArchaeologist In that case, I'd like to motion for new elections of room owner :P
 
@InfiniteRecursion lunch. Dinner was already reserved for bluefeet.
 
@SPArchaeologist wrong pointer :P
 
12:58 PM
I'm confused
 
@DroidDev ok, but the owner is required to have watched all the currently available mlp seasons
 
booby for dinner? not fair :(
I want to be dinner!!
 
@SPArchaeologist haha, my shadow clones have seen them, twice :P
 
Bart lives on stars, @Inf. I fear the Den has very few stars to offer, hence it's no surprise @Bart is not there. He'll just starve in there. :-D
 
@DroidDev you also need signed authorization from all the 7 element keepers.
@ShadowWizard this quote of your gave me an idea
 
1:01 PM
@SPArchaeologist I'm honored! ;)
 
@SPArchaeologist now that's just cheating
 
But the den looks like a fun zone subset of the Tavern @ShadowWizard. You guys are having fun without Bart!! o_O
 
@DroidDev what part? me knowing them, me already asking them to avoid the still unreformed Droid or the identity of the seventh one?

Question. For posts like this:

Q: How to get the separate digits of an int number?

Edy MooreI have numbers like 1100, 1002, 1022 etc. I would like to have the individual digits, for example for the first number 1100 I want to have 1, 1, 0, 0. How can I get it in Java?

Where there are 22 answers, most of them duplicates or less-than-ideal
Is it appropriate to start flagging answers, or flag the question and request a cleanup? Or do we just do nothing and leave it as OK?
 
Look carefully @nic, duck is in the pond :D
 
22 answers is a bit too much and VLQ reviewers don't see (look at) other answers
I'd flag other
 
Yeah I didn't want to do VLQ flags because you need the context.
 
@InfiniteRecursion I mean that Duck, not those ducks.

You think other on the answers I review? Or other on the question and let a mod review?
