[ SmokeDetector ] Email in answer: Doesn't gezera affect the Torah? by mitra on judaism.stackexchange.com
Whats that all about? Close gangs?
I need a script to track my total flag count today...
@SmokeDetector woot gone
thanks @KevinBrown
Is the delete js handler failing for anyone else? I just removed a message, but the display didn't update.
Upon attempting a remove again, I get the banner informing me that the msg is already deleted.
So, seems purely on the display-update side.
Hello @GnomeSlice
Are you still 12?
Aloha.
12?
I'm not banned here:)
I see that.
Being banned sucks.
13:25
Hola slice of gnome
Oooh, I see listenings
Like I said, I don't own those stupid unidoggy
@Bart better link in a sec
\o/
Today's Listening | Synthwave / Progressive
There, that one includes a remix
I haven't posted music here in a while
I'm working like 45 hours a week now
At a grocery store, so it's not even rewarding
13:26
And then Grooveshark stopped. I went without music ... WITHOUT MUSIC!!!
@UniKitty It was a joke, I'm 23.
@GnomeSlice wow, they even offer 45 hours?
@Bart Soundcloud is also about to get hit with a bunch of suits too, apparently.
I know its a joke
Mine is also a joke
@Bart 40 at grocery store, like 5 at my other job
13:27
@GnomeSlice You get 40 hours at a grocery store?
I can't believe the thumbnail for that YouTube video @GnomeSlice linked to didn't include a half-naked woman (hi, GnomeSlice - long time no see :P).
@jadarnel27 I'm kinda offended
@jadarnel27 Why would he do that
@Bart You should flag it for not being offensive.
2
@jadarnel27 Weird right?
13:28
...or something.
@GnomeSlice =)
@jadarnel27 I'll just go to meta and threaten to not ragequit
2
@Amelia Yeah, mostly because my department is really understaffed right now
@GnomeSlice Hire more people
@jadarnel27 Can you reproduce this?
My department manager is a clown too
He just hired some new people, one is this super pretty tall girl who turned out to be like 15 and now I feel weird.
13:29
That updated for me.
But did it update for you?
Also updated
@LynnCrumbling It also updated for me.
@GnomeSlice Are you in love?
must be "just me" :)
13:30
@jadarnel27 I haven't been flagged or suspended in months, I'm getting better at that. =P
@GnomeSlice Why did you get suspended?
@UniKitty You mean with jailbait 8 years younger than me? No, I'm not. lol.
@GnomeSlice Haha, you have been successfully rehabilitated!
@UniKitty That is a loaded question my friend.
@LynnCrumbling Lucky you!
13:31
@GnomeSlice Thats not an answer
I don't have time to answer it fully, I have to leave for work in like half an hour
Hit F5. Now it works.
Weird.
Mostly cursing and racy images.
oh well.
@GnomeSlice That one on your profile page?
13:32
...No.
I got suspended for sending that before
Which one
lolbyebitch?
Well that's dumb, that's like a bridge joke.
You probably shouldn't have been suspended for that.
Was @StrixVaria who did it
They used to post this when I got suspended
And yes it was that one
ARRRGH!!! Flags as inappropriate!
Flagged
Countdown to @GnomeSlice being chat flagged / suspended for "doing a swear": 10, 9, 8...

Guy on the right isn't even a mod any more.
(No joking)
@jadarnel27 Heh.
13:34
tell us when you return!
@GnomeSlice he was pro-tem right(or whatever it is)
No, he just stepped down a while ago because he doesn't have time for SE any more.
Wut now you put it in the bridge
yes i did
Hello @GnomeSlice are you suspended?
muted
not banned
I am aware.
13:40
ARRGS @StrixVaria changes his profile
Now his username doesn't make sense
This is amazing. I saw that tweet thanks to @Jin in a roundabout way.
@jadarnel27 I can't figure out what I'm seeing.
Oh, heh.
Its a guy walking backwards
It's a TV ad.
Clever.
Hows it a tv ad?
13:47
They're advertising how thin their TV is
The joke is that he's carrying it the entire time, you just can't see it because it's so thin.
@James Same way we handle it anywhere else. Those apowersoft guys have been around SR too
(cc @bummi @ProgramFOX)
Ok. Found bug. Report. Don't ping
@Undo thank you
The amusing thing about that tweet is the way it relates the video to unit testing. You can write many tests to get "100% code coverage" (thus being ostensibly bug-free), which can engender a false sense of security. In the same way that guy steals a TV while there are cameras covering the whole store.
nice. Lock en route?
@jadarnel27 "Testing shows the presence, not the absence of bugs" - E.W. Dijkstra
13:56
@Undo if (post.contains("apowersoft")) then post.flag() post.close() post.lock() post.delete() post.purge() end
@Bart I haven't seen that quote before, nice.
At some point you should read through the EWD archive. Great stuff
Oh, wow. I didn't even know that was a thing. I shall bookmark that. Thanks, @Bart.
Yeah, I really need a flag tracker
14:02
@UniKitty What kind of flag tracker?
@Undo With the amount of stuff I flag across sites I can't keep track anymore

Gah, it's surprising how wrong Unity gets Q&A. And aggravating.
Is there a way to view all messages by a user?
as a feed
I don't think so.
@Bart also, they ignore Chrome compatibility, putting the blame on Google.
14:47
Hm… seems wifi works better here on main camp. :D
@bjb568 yeah, wifi tends to be better the nearer you are to the base....
unless you're too close
15:04
in which case, cables works better
15:17
@JanDvorak how do you mean? Their Unity player? That is a result of Chrome abandoning NPAPI.
Now you'll have to go to a WebGL build.
I'd say it's a result of Unity not adopting PPAPI
the problem is that there isn't a 'standard' of sorts.. and if Unity goes the PPAPI way, they need Firefox, IE, Opera, etc. to support too
@JanDvorak not really a viable alternative unfortunately. it's much more restrictive to begin with.
WebGL is the right choice here.
not sure if WebGL is enough for interactivity
15:19
As in .. @Braiam?
user259867
@SmokeDetector tpu-
Unity3D is more than a "player", you can interact with it @Bart
I know (Unity Dev here), but I don't know what you mean by "interactivity" and where WebGL would be an issue
user259867
gone
15:22
@Bart if I'm not mistaken, you can create games and stuff with it, no?
@Braiam yep
you need to catch the keyboard/mouse/whatever events, no?
@Braiam sure.
and WebGL is just a rendering API, I think they don't cover that
Ah, in that sense. But Unity creates more than just WebGL rendering output.
It pretty much encapsulates input for the platform it runs on. So as a Unity dev there's not much to worry about there.
It basically compiles the whole engine (or those parts you need/use) down to JavaScript
Well, c# -> IL -> CPP -> asm.js basically
15:28
ohhh
then... why uses N/PPAPI?
The old player did
before this whole pipeline
the new pipeline is to address the issue of NPAPI disappearing
and which way they went?
js library with some renderer?
For now the WebGL pipeline I outlined above
So as a developer you still write C# (or UnityScript if you want to) and nothing really changes.

Q: Why 2 links to the same thing so close to each other

JonHI don't see any purpose of having careers links twice, within the same page and so close to each other. Please don't push careers so much on people, I think you should do a simple check: if (user is already registered with careers) bigOrangeCareersButton.Visible=false; else bigOrangeCaree...

Why the last edit, I can't get it.
And also OP votes to close this question as a dupe of another unrelated one.

Q: Should "move-to-chat" be provided on demand (as a button perhaps)?

CatskulWhen comments get too chatty the move-to-chat feature asks if you'd like to move it out. But this often happens after the fact and thus doesn't prevent it. I propose that: Move-to-chat be provided as a button along side so that a user who knows their question or conversation may become drawn ...

some unrelated discussion on another topic...
hello, I hope I'm in the right place. Today I asked this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/31138440/…
Just hit 70,000 on the money. Where’s those awesome privs again? :)
wut on money if on English?
But I then realized I wanted to ask a more general question. I read on meta that I should not do it, as it duplicates the question.
I would think that my new question is much more to the point, and useful for the rest of the community. My first question was extremely specific (and it got downvoted too, for that reason I think).

also, we could pipe these into a room on chat.SO if you'd like
Also, be on the lookout for off-topic questions being posted in the [e-commerce], [scrape], and [web-scraping] tags by users with all-lowercase names. Our Easy Data Feed spammers have been dumping piles of those each day in there, hoping that they'll survive long enough so they can post their spam in an answer. I've been deleting a ton of these over the last few days.

@BradLarson Looks like we get tag info in the realtime feed, we could theoretically catch those.
might be a lot of false positives, though
Although at least the first two seem to be low-traffic
Possibly. Smoky might not be the best tool for that. I've been just doing regular sweeps of those tags, and examining every post by someone with an all-lowercase, no-spaces name. 90+% of them have been off topic spam seeds. They are hitting other tags, but the spam stands out the most in those three.
hrm. I'll look into adding it
If it's that accurate then we might as well
it'd be good to have tags in our regexes too
