Earthlings are not designed for jet lags, I wonder whether there are studies on whether jet lags actually reduce expected ~~lifespam~~ lifespan

Well that took a while.

I really need to get to 125 rep on Monero. Those questions are terrible.

Bart

08:03

@hichris123 monero?

Ah, I see. Never even heard of it

Magisch

08:17

@Bart First time I heard of it was in the context of cybercriminals taking over pcs to mine it

Bart

Sounds like a good start

user202362

08:50

bart, start - rhythms!

Derpy

I don't believe it.

I can't join a meeting created by someone still using Lync 2013 because I have the Skype for Business 2016 client.

The newer client isn't compatible with the old one.

Way to go....

Any sign that SE are going to act on it?

Not really, no. Generally that's a wait and see thing

Stijn

12:06

Is meta.stackoverflow.com/users/4813913/manoj-kumar?tab=activity an employee? Some of his comments give me the impression he is, but if so, he's quite unprofessional in his communication.

Rubisco

@Stijn he doesn't seem to be

I mean I've never seen him fix a bug or something

@zaq knows better

@Stijn Out of curiosity, why do you think he is?

Stijn

On a question regarding Stack Snippets, he replied "The code snippet functionality is bad. Will be changed for making it user friendly."
On some questions regarding Jobs/Careers, he replied " Undergoing investigation. " and "It is run by a bunch of idiots. What can you expect? Thanks for posting this. Your problem will be solved :)"

Rubisco

I remember my comment being deleted on the jQuery new version thread. Yes, people are too professional here. We have to deal with it :( — Manoj Kumar 2 days ago

That is NOT an employee

user335633

Hi @Rubisco

Rubisco

hey

Magisch

12:11

@Stijn Thats just a guy with poor command of the english language and a lack of professionality to boot.

No, taking is a metaphor for typing

@Telkitty Flying pillow of seething hatred

Bart

So "flying cat" basically

Magisch

13:13

I like my cats

they're friendly and nice

And they play fetch

Andy

Are you sure your cats aren't dogs?

Magisch

They look and cuddle like cats

And they have this "I'm a kitty worship me" look to them

Derpy

@Magisch yep, they must be cats.

Dogs are more "you are bigger, let me worship you"

Magisch

Seriously though I do love my cats they're amazing

user335633

13:29

cats are awesome

user335633

what type of cats do you have @Magisch?

Derpy

Magisch

@DamienPaul One Norwegian forest cat and one mix of ragdoll and something else

user335633

lol

Derpy

Purple cat?

Magisch

13:34

I named them Function and Method

user335633

@Magisch that is very cool!

Magisch

They're 11 months old now

I got Function (the forest cat) from a friend of mine who breeds them (she was a runt and unsellable) for free and Method from a shelter

user335633

still playful i would imagine!

Magisch

They're outdoor cats

as in I let them out when they want

user335633

my friend has a house cat - everytime I walk up the path - he follows me from the window - meowing

Derpy

13:39

that is what they do when they can't attack. You will discover it too late when you will visit you friend.

the cat will jump at your face, Alien style.

Magisch

pff

user335633

lol!!!

Magisch

cats are wonderful creatures

user335633

nah, this cat is very friendly

Magisch

somehow they managed to convince us to almost worship them and feed them, house them, etc not even regard them as a nuisance

user335633

13:40

as soon as I go into the house, he greets me and when I sit down, he sits on my lap

Magisch

When I was visiting friends of my aunt in austria last time - in summer 2015, their cat had just had kittens

And the kittens were all over the apartment way stayed in

10/10 worth it getting climbed on by 10 kittens that are all mewing

user335633

absolutely!

user335633

I've known my friend's cat since he was a kitten

Magisch

Some people don't get having cats at all

moaning that your apartment will smell or that cat hair is everywhere (seriously though cat hair is EVERYWHERE)

user335633

the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences

Derpy

13:48

@DamienPaul "Look, my self-warming chair has finally returned"

@Magisch Wait a little till those kittens gets heavier. My legs already know the "climb this human tree" game

user335633

@Derpy lol yes - but this cat sat by me when I was recovering from an accident years ago

user335633

@Derpy that's a fun game!

Derpy

@DamienPaul fun for them... sure. For you and your legs, not really if the kitty is over 400g....

user335633

@Derpy I have had heavier climb me

Magisch

I like kitties

always

user335633

13:53

@Magisch agree!

Patrick Hofman

Hi all. Long time no see.

(In the Tavern at least ;) )

I am currently working on a online-realtime version of SEDE. You should be able to use SQL to query the API. Anyone interested in taking a spin when it is ready to test? Please let me know with a ping or message. (You can contact me at [email protected] if you want to)

Bart

@rene ^

Shadow Wizard

@PatrickHofman sure, sign me up! :)

Patrick Hofman

Okay, will do. @Sha

Shadow Wizard

@Pat but the API is limited, aren't you afraid to run out of quota, in case your site will become popular?

Patrick Hofman

@ShadowWizard That is why I need to speak Oded, but let's see if it is useful first :)

Shadow Wizard

15:12

!!/apiquota

SmokeDetector

@ShadowWizard The current API quota remaining is 5605.

Patrick Hofman

Sample for the Windows app

Shadow Wizard

@PatrickHofman nice! No magic columns?

rene

@PatrickHofman you have mail .... (thanks @Bart)

Shadow Wizard

heh, last message in 6 out of 12 active (non secret) rooms.... proud of myself. :D

Patrick Hofman

15:16

@ShadowWizard No. Not yet. Maybe later. It is a generic SQL engine we have written which I intend to use for this now, so I am not able to replace the content of a column that easily.

@ShadowWizard It does have SQL grouping functions.

rene

I see an encoding issue ...

Patrick Hofman

@rene I too

Shadow Wizard

@PatrickHofman I mean alias like [User Link] which will auto convert the data to be link to the profile.

rene

or is that a user that tries to be funny ...

Shadow Wizard

@rene nah, he also broke my WAG charts for long time, had to manually fix it every time. :)

rene

15:18

' for the win

Patrick Hofman

Going to work on the project now. Ping me if you need anything.

rene

Looking forward to it

Patrick Hofman

15:38

@ShadowWizard I know. But that was all the magic I have for now.

rene

On SEDE the magic columns are a real performance hit and often you end up with a query processor timeout

I can see why you would leave them out for now ...

When did Super User disallow questions by unregistered users? There's a feature request for that (although it's asking for both Q and A), but no recent discussion and no status.

@zaq no recent discussion ... from 2012 ...

@zaq it looks like this question from Jul, 18 was the last one asked by an unregistered user. Beyond that date only other user types are present

here is the rough jsfiddle

user315433

19:42

@rene Thanks for the fiddle! The last unreg question on Math appears to be this one. Not awful, but nothing to rave about either.

user315433

Chemistry election begins in less than 20 minutes, so here's a chart of candidates...

user315433

Rubisco got into 10^4 range because I rounded base-10 logarithm of review count to the nearest integer: log10 of 3205 is just a little bit over 3.5

user315433

The review ranges are out of order. :( Corrected here:

user315433

20:10

(I considered log-scale, but decided that cramming non-viable candidates in a corner where they can hardly be seen is a feature rather than a bug.)

Shog9

@zaq Woops... Meant to turn that on over night to stop a persistent troll, completely forgot the next day.

Had no noticeable effect on the number of poorly-received questions posted over the past three months I'm afraid

@zaq Huh, left Google I guess. Moderator -> nothing -> dev. Congrats @JeremyBanks.

@hichris123 Thanks. :) Yeah, I left Google. Among many reasons, with Stack I can work from anywhere I want, whereas Google doesn't have an office in my hometown.

hichris123

Which probably makes it more enjoyable. :)
