And we can also assume it will manage to retcon FNAF 3 by somehow scrapping Springtrap and reintroducing Gold Freddy in its place.

There’s a UTC+1245 but not UTC+2015 that I can find. Perhaps it is an especially local time zone. Those do exist.

Oh, and there’s a UTC+1345 in the long dark days of boreal winter.

@Unihedron there is hope though. The studio claimed to be working on the FNAF movie seem to be the same that is also supposed to be making the minecraft rumored movie.... so if that means something, all could end up in vaporware.

@Braiam There is also a big problem on a Mac if you have some SAMBA partition mounted.

Jason C

Chatham was +1215 until 1946. Does that count?

tchrist

13:18

@JasonC Yes.

Mac found 197 hits quickly. Cygwin found 185 hits very slowly. Linux, however, is still running. My guess is that the tz set is humungous there.

Jason C

Guyana was -0345 until 1976.

tchrist

Yes, that's it. 585 zoneinfo files on Cygwin, 587 on Mac, 1747 on Linux. Not even accounting for their respective sizes.

Jason C

@tchrist Maybe there's a symlink to something unexpected in there? Or multiple copies of data in different forms. Zoneinfo data shouldn't be that big.

No, no symlinks.

@vaultah If you believe it's too broad then vote as too broad.

@JasonC I disagree with that reason, but I do support the close because of "Can you write the code for me"

You can many possible answers for almost every programming question. Someone with years of experience could knock out a feature like this in a few lines. Someone brand new will be happy with a 10 line function. Both are valid answers.

@Andy ikr

Jason C

14:44

@Andy There is only one good answer to that question, though: An answer describing the steps you might take to approach that kind of problem, and describing the method used to look up functionality in documentation. For example, "To approach problems like this, first check out relevant documentation. Browse through and see if anything meets your needs." Etc.

That would be the correct answer.

"Here is my code, here is my expected and actual results, here is my problem statement, here is how I have tried to solve it, what is the issue?", for example. An answer describing how to solve the problem may or may not be useful in that case.

@vaultah Anyways, the correct action is this: Do what you believe to be correct. If the community in general agrees then votes will reflect that and it will organically be reflected in how questions are handled in general. If you think it's too broad, vote too broad. If somebody convinced you otherwise, retract your vote. If you think it needs a downvote, downvote. Don't ask "what should I do?" then conform to that. You need to rage against the machine!

@Unihedron Simply put...

@Unihedron a miserable little pile of topics. But enough references now, have a coffee!

Unihedron

What close reason should this be? stackoverflow.com/q/30485983/656243

"Crap" doesn't seem to be in the list.

user248725

VLQ?

Lynn Crumbling

I guess there's always the custom reason.

Unihedron

@LynnCrumbling general computer software

Lynn Crumbling

"I'm voting to close this question because crap."

or too broad

Jason C

@LynnCrumbling Can you tell what that OP is really asking? Do you know what kind of answers they are expecting?

Lynn Crumbling

@JasonC Not really. I guess unclear would have worked. I went general software.. eh..

SPArchaeologist

@Unihedron never said I would provide the coffee. It is a know fact I don't drink coffee - only matcha.

Lynn Crumbling

one more...

user248725

^ this.

danke @bummi.

Jason C

@LynnCrumbling Yup. If it's not clear, then it's unclear. It's not a general software question. It most certainly is related to programming. And now the OP will be presented with a nonsense description in the close reason and leave without learning much about the etiquette here.

SPArchaeologist

@QPaysTaxes only muffins left. But they are leftovers from AJ attempts in season one.

bummi

@LynnCrumbling wofür ;)

user248725

@SPArchaeologist I feel like you're referencing something I know about only through my boyfriend's pillow talk.

Jason C

14:58

@LynnCrumbling Or maybe it's not about programming. I can't tell. I really wish it would show multiple close reason boxes though. I hate feeling misrepresented.

Didn't it used to do that?

SPArchaeologist

@QPaysTaxes don't worry. It is part of my purpose to make references that no one will notice or understand.

Lynn Crumbling

@JasonC I completely agree. I've run into this constantly. There's your name. In bright lights: "Jason C think your question is general software"

user248725

@SPArchaeologist Oh, alright.
