Q: Should Stack Overflow (and Stack Exchange in general) be awarding "A"s for Effort?

This just came up again: homework is not acceptable if the asker has made no effort whatsoever I'm developing a bit of an involuntary twitch that manifests itself when I encounter the word "effort" on Stack Overflow these days. Don't get me wrong — effort is good. At least, productive eff...

Sompuperoo

talking about lifehacks, the default SE site

user259867

Default as in unable to pay its electricity bill?

Frank

@Sompuperoo Still necessary, yeah, but can be worded as 'these common methods wouldn't work for me because [very good reason here]'

A: What is happening when I compose * with + in Haskell?

I understand how you feel. I found function composition to be quite difficult to grasp at first too. What helped me grok the matter were type signatures. Consider: (*) :: Num x => x -> x -> x (+) :: Num y => y -> y -> y (.) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> a -> c Now when you write (*) . (+) it is a...

Sompuperoo

I'm starting to worry that this may not become [status-completed]

Doorknob 冰

@Sompuperoo I'm worried that you think that's a good idea -_-

(from Hebrew) The host?! If you can read it without subtitles, so you're really good.

I have a feeling that's very, very far from the original :P

Frank

4:30 AM

Isn't it Hi hosts! Not The host?!

Frank

taverners, not hosts.

Braiam

@Frank yeah, well, MT sucks, what can I say?

bjb568

Oh.

@Braiam Lots of things.

Frank

> Hey taverners! If you can read this without translating, you're really good.

is what I said

Braiam

I know some machine translations that very innocuous phrases end up like some unreadable erotica

Braiam

Undo the Snowman

Frank

4:33 AM

@UndotheSnowman עוד מה?

Braiam

dun wanna

oh, google don't even know the plane is lost...

@Doorknob冰 3 people got the red baron?

Doorknob 冰

Not including me :(

Sompuperoo

whats the path / to view vote time history?

bjb568

> It disappears on radar and stops squawking over Sungai Johor (Johor River) near Pasir Gudang, Johor shortly after 0825hrs.

@Braiam What's the deal with this plane?

Frank

@Braiam Why u no wear a cool hat?

Undo the Snowman

4:38 AM

@bjb568 gone. Disappeared.

Sompuperoo

ok, it's posts/questionID/timeline

bjb568

@UndotheSnowman What was it doing?

Undo the Snowman

flying

Frank

lol

yeah, no it was, um, driving.

Doorknob 冰

@UndotheSnowman Now what is it doing?

bjb568

4:38 AM

Great!

Undo the Snowman

I assume it wasn't sitting on the ground, that'd be one hell of a magic trick

@Doorknob冰 either landed or crashed. Or flying around in the middle of the ocean with its transponder switched off waiting to crash.

bjb568

Crashed into the air?

Or abducted by aliens?

Frank

I'm gonna make this pencil... disappear!

<bam>

It's gone!

Undo the Snowman

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but this makes way too much sense

I hope we at least find wreckage from this one

Frank

@UndotheSnowman If you actually read it, yeah it does...

bjb568

4:42 AM

Oh, is it that one that was on the news a while ago?

Doorknob 冰

... you mean the Malaysian Air one?

Sompuperoo

ugh, timeline don't show vote timeline

Undo the Snowman

@Sompuperoo as a normal user you're not going to find a vote timeline

Frank

prolly hyperspaced and is hiding behing mars laughing

Undo the Snowman

Closest thing will probably be the owner's rep history

Frank

4:43 AM

@UndotheSnowman Yeah only abnormal user can see those

Doorknob 冰

I'm abnormal? :(

Frank

Just pointing out the poor choice of wording.

s/normal/mortal/

@Doorknob冰 yes

Better?

4:45 AM

@UndotheSnowman Unterminated s command

Frank

@UndotheSnowman no.

Illogical.

Undo the Snowman

Soon you'll join the dark side, then you'll get it :D

Frank

that depends

I might not get picked

Doorknob 冰

I'm confused. We've been called "abnormal," "immortal," and "the dark side" in a matter of seconds.

Frank

@Doorknob冰 at least no one's calling u pigs.

Braiam

4:47 AM

None of them has cookies... that I verified

Frank

seriously.

Undo the Snowman

@Frank Well that's a possibility.

@Doorknob冰 let's go rename TL to Pig Lounge.

Frank

Which is why I said that...

@Doorknob冰 y u regex

Frank

@bjb568 Now I have to kill you.

Doorknob 冰

I'm not sure creating branches is the right way to handle "saving" a specific commit

Frank

@Doorknob冰 yeah, I create branches all summer.

@Doorknob冰 Saving? You can bookmark in your browser.

Doorknob 冰

@Frank :D

Sompuperoo

Beware, don't follow the weight loss advice on Drupal, or this could happen to you too!

Doorknob 冰

@bjb568 No, not like that. I need a thing to link to, for example if I want a link to "FooBazzer v. 1.0.3"

Frank

@Sompuperoo lol

bjb568

4:53 AM

@Doorknob冰 Releases!

Doorknob 冰

Ah, thanks!

bjb568

Frank

@Doorknob冰 He's not telling

Undo the Snowman

@Doorknob冰 you need to increase your git-foo

Frank

MUAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Doorknob 冰

4:56 AM

@UndotheSnowman What about my git-bar?
