So I had my first programming club meeting. I gave everybody a quiz there and the highest score was 1/3. The questions were "How many legs does a cell tower have? In Java what do you get if you print 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3? and What do you get when you do 5/2 in Java?"

I was kinda trolling them.

JamesENL

That's cruel

Shog9

yeah, seems really Android-specific.

hichris123

What happened to DevDoodle questions?

bjb568

@Shog9 I only used Java because it's basically the same thing in any C-based language and they teach Java at my school.

Shog9

oh, I was referring to the cell-tower thing.

I have an app that's on the market which I have written 5 years ago and have not touched since

And the DEV branch is children of the PROD one....

So it is MAIN->PROD->DEV

@Derpy so lots of merging ahead?

@JamesENL too much crying?

Derpy

10:10 AM

@ShadowWizard oh... don't worry. I have now discovered that that wasn't even the most up-to-date version of the project.

Because I was so gullible to search for the project "FooBar" in a folder called "FooBar" on the source control system.

Instead, I should have looked into

Some/unrelate/name/that/doesn't/bear/any/connection/to/the/actual/project/_FooBa‌rMoreUpdated

all while ignoring

Some/unrelate/name/that/doesn't/bear/any/connection/to/the/actual/project/_FooBa‌rLessUpdated

Poor @Derpy... But who or what is to blame?

Derpy

@ShadowWizard Don't get me started on that one....

You can find Jerry in the C++ chat (Lounge<C++>), here you will be met with heartily hospitality of friendly loungers. We consist of brillant kids like Jerry, lovely teenage such as ven and older professionals such as CatPlusPlus (although he's in the hospital right now due to a minor heart failure).

"We are the great examples of Stackoverflow's 'Be Nice' policy"

Derpy

@Telkitty Once again, I can only suggest to search on Youtube for a song called "Life in Pink" - you can easily find it by searching for "life in pink mlp". May be the same concept you are referring to in your comment.

obviously, as long as we will continue to think that the only way to make our lives better is to make others feel more miserable than us....

@Telkitty Are you sure they didn't mean "LOVE" instead? I have seen some "friendship pellet" flying around...

Aaron Hall

Here's a little feedback on the help>tour page:

> The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.

This is not quite correct.

I can actually point to one answer of mine where the accepted answerer actually says mine should be accepted.

That makes this statement a lie.

If this site is all about the canonical answers, there should be a way to better showcase great new answers with fewer upvotes than ancient sloppy answers.

We need a "Hot" sort.

Where "hot" provides some differentiation of votes made in the past year versus votes made a decade ago.

Bart

@AaronHall there will always be outliers

For new users that introduction is just fine

Aaron Hall

2:27 PM

I want an optional sort on "hotness"

Bart

Make it a feature request if that hasn't been requested before

Aaron Hall

What if it has been requested before, but it was rejected because the site being so new the need wasn't apparent?

Bart

Make a new request, clearly indicating how the situation has changed with respect to the original request

Q: Add kick option to mobile chat UI

The kick-mute feature in chat is... Wonderful. Instead of letting rudeness or idiocy derail a conversation, savvy room owners and moderators can quietly remove the disruptive person from the room for a short time, and continue chatting without breaking stride. The person responsible gets a polite...

This would be so nice.

Mooseman

I just figured that was on some internal to-do list...

that sounds pretty fancy

@Shog9 That's pretty low-res.

Ooh, exciting. The Apple Pay for web buttons are out.

Shog9

@bjb568 it's a laptop. What am I gonna do, balance it on my feet and type with pencils glued to my fingers?

bjb568

You could.

Shog9

now that sounds kinda fun

But, I have a 30" monitor already. 1080 is fine.

bjb568

I have 150% more pixels on my 15" laptop.

I've found that for my purposes anyway, more pixels is more important than more inches.

That's why my desktop is only 27". And 5k.

Shog9

I'm getting old. Gets really hard to make out the pixels at that kind of density.

bjb568

10:46 PM

Bah, old people problems.

Soon I'll be an old man with a huge monitor too.

Shog9

You'll give your eyes plenty of exercise rolling them at kids with their 4K VR goggles

I may have 3x bigger and improved eyes to roll by then.
