Man, the more I think about kids, the more I think I should have them in my twenties before I become old and boring.
I found a girl who thinks the same now.
Dunno whether to marry or be suspicious.
Of course, there's no way I'll be able to do that unless I win the lottery or something, which would require participating in the lottery…
But the feels, man. Kids are great and great now.
Career progression and societal expectations just get in the way of actual happiness.
Or, maybe I should polish up my skills and get into academia where I can be sheltered from reality and raise my kids.
user315433
@bjb568 In Zaq state, 14-year-old can marry. Dunno about yours.
Nah, I'm not going to actually marry anybody.
Hopefully ever, I plugged numbers into a tax calculator and it said marrying would cost like $20k/year.
why push for marriage for everyone, I'd push for separation of church and state
user315433
since when did this room become full of all sorts of strange political rhetoric?
it's meta
> marriage under age 18 is harmful
user315433
00:34
Do you want to take a stand against political rhetoric?
^ this is blatant agism
user202362
there are two escaped baby bunnies in the park nearby (and 1 wild hare), maybe I will see 100's of them next year if council doesn't interfere
@zaq you just answered my question with a question... which shows my point?
@Telkitty how big is the park? That would be kinda cool but I could see it also being a problem.
user202362
more like a football ground
user202362
slightly bigger, but only slightly
00:36
@ɥʇǝS All communication is rhetoric, the only difference is whether or not we're scared to talk about what we think is right.
there we go again heh
user315433
"Since when is X?" is usually a thinly veiled disapproval of X, not a sincere question.
can't know if you never treat it as one.
user202362
Seriously though @bjb, you have chosen the wrong role model - zaq is a proof that old is boring, but why don't you check out other examples? I can assure you that old doesn't imply boring - most hikers I know did one of the greatest trails in their 30's & 40's. And usually people have more money as they get older, you can build drones, you can make DIY AI robot, you can travel the world with your AI robots. You can design and make 'smart' house
00:54
@bjb568 clearly doing well :P Tell us about this girl

I didn't know Amazon Order History Report existed... too bad it goes back only to 2006-01-01. Still informative: 634 orders since 2006-01-01, totaling over 17K USD. Now, to figure out the time invested in SE since 2012 and its USD equivalent...

Currently, the house is on the market for 1 whole week, 4 groups have visited, half application received and withdrawn (probably because I requested more info to do background check on or they genuinely changed their mind). But as of this morning, the main competitor is rented after being on the market for a week. Main competitor because it's also a 3 bedroom house but doesn't need to share backyard, with garage and is on a quiet street - but most importantly it's only $10 more than what I ask.
user202362
Now it's either 2 bedroom houses for slightly less than what I ask or same (3 bedroom) for at least 15% more (which is nearly $100 more per week). I have 2 group desperately wanting to inspect the house today and other one tomorrow.
user202362
The asking price was of course, what I estimated based on the market condition when I first put out advertisement. Now the market has not deteriorated. Looks like it's going to track the usually 2-4 week time frame for renting a house.
user202362
life is so interesting, everywhere it's another game waiting to be played!
@JonEricson Sweet, thanks.

IIRC moderators are not shown who flagged a comment; but can they find out if they really want to?
@zaq correct
@bjb568 kids will make you old and boring. They're like having a new game, or crush, or drug
....Every day... For years...
"where's bjb?" Your friends ask. "Oh... He's hooked on child rearing. Tried an intervention, but he went right back to it. So tragic."
That almost sounds like a crime.
And one day you look up and realize that years have passed and all you have to show for it is a new generation to replace you when you die any day now.
You missed the starting gun.
Which, as addictions go, ain't the worst thing I guess. Although coffee is almost as good and slightly cheaper.
02:08
I made a new pot after lunch and got much more done than I normally do. THAT is addicting.
...Yeah now I have Pink Floyd stuck in my head.
You're welcome. Anytime.

Speaking of coffee, Shiner has this coffee ale out... Not bad.
Used to drink their bock a lot.

More coffee after lunch is a good idea; my day was almost like that but with "instead" in it. :/

@Telkitty DIY as in Ikea or making the plans yourself?

ewwww
@rene the one here appears to be a troll, he's giving bad advice all around, posting useless stuff.... I start to suspect it's all on purpose. But nothing we can act upon yet. :/
(e.g. can't really call @JNat for this. yet. :))
08:05
I already did some voting there ...
sure, me too... think I've downvoted all his posts so far.
there are more which are deleted by now.
oh no, forgot the coffee now it's almost cold

@ShadowWizard It's Andy's fault.
@Andy it's your fault my coffee is cold! shaking fist

@ShadowWizard selected a dupe
Another gold badge on SO! Feeling so good. :D

as soon as it hits the cvq it will be picked up by the review stalkers

Well, you knew that was coming ...
But when I'm gloomy I rant about the android app or my ignored flags, which I'm not doing for now, so guess I'm OK. :P
knock on wood: my flags got handled in a reasonable amount of time ...

@zaq well, I'm actually gonna delete that answer and have an answer per year, instead of per month. Otherwise it's gonna get messy real quick
Is SO slow for anyone else, or just me?
@Bart just you
turn off your web cam maybe it's attacking SO ;)
:/ It's ridiculously slow here.
But how are people going to stare at my lovely frame then?=
09:19
@ShadowWizard So that's why they didn't want to reveal the details
Well, guess they're still fighting that botnet, so it's still affecting some servers/users
@M.A.R. yup. Seeing Bart is a show stopper. :P
@Bart Your frames are ugly

I wanna ask an FR to terminate the grace period with votes
Should I?

@Bart sorry. I just executed the wrong command.

@M.A.R. what do you mean? what votes?
@ShadowWizard A follow up to this
in Charcoal HQ on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 59 secs ago, by Glorfindel
Undo did that, but it has been [status-declined].
@JNat you might hit the character limit, think it's 30k or so
@ShadowWizard 30k, yeah
Well cross that bridge when we get to it, then :P
09:23
@JNat that means less rep from upvotes for you though :(
I know :'(
The Epic and Legendary badges are farther away, then
Not that I rep capped yesterday, but oh well
So, should I go ahead @Sha Wiz?
@M.A.R. hmm.... still not 100% sure I get all of this, you mean that there won't be grace period at all? Not a good idea.
09:25
@ShadowWizard No, I mean the grace period will be terminated by the post score changing
Posting a comment is aborting the grace period by the way.
So when I flag a rude/abusive post, the post gets a -1 and the guy can't ninja-edit
@M.A.R. the -1 isn't real vote
seems JNat is getting ready for tomorrow.... My Pinkie-sense tells me he is going to magically "disappear" during the weekend, only to reappear much latter with a weird smile, rambling confused words about runes, mountains, broken swords and the like...
@ShadowWizard But the score changes
Did you read that post and animuson's answer?
09:27
@M.A.R. partially, didn't really understand why declining it.
@ShadowWizard The answer made sense. It said that since flags aren't visible, people will end up confused and head to meta
waiting for @Telkitty to notice the message sent to Bart
@M.A.R. oh. Makes sense. Anyway, aborting grace period by voting sounds too extreme, it will abort major part of the grace periods and create tons of useless revisions. So not sure about that.
Better request will be to keep record of edits even within grace period, and allow moderators to see that.
@ShadowWizard I don't think it will be tons
@M.A.R. people vote a lot, and people edit a lot, fixing tiny one letter mistakes.
09:33
@ShadowWizard When people see they don't have to rush against a 5-minute window to correct typos, they'll take more time and make less trivial edits
Yesterday I found out how much I depend on having internet access. My internet broke down so I couldn't play online games, couldn't watch Netflix, couldn't watch Plex because for some reason that requires internet access even though everything is local. And I don't have cable TV. So I had to make do with my phone, which sucked hard.
Geez, it takes about 20sec for SO to load for me. And it's the only site with trouble
@Bart is it the main page or dependent resources?
Main page
It craps out after a hop in Amsterdam
4G works fine
let me check
it strangely does that for me as well with traceroute, although my page load times are OK
09:50
It seems to fluctuate like crazy. 1 out of 10 reloads all is well. Ah well. Do your magic intarwebz.

Q: Terminate the Grace Period When the Post Score Changes

M.A.R.This is a follow-up to Terminate the grace period when a post receives a flag. Terminating the grace period for flags was status-declined because it would be confusing for users as flags do not have any visible mark. However, it was suggested in the answer that terminating because of voting woul...

And so, having done what no other human managed to do, my coworker shall now be know as "Jūfukukī Ataru" (lit: to be struck by a duplicate key - see "Ataru Moroboshi").
@Bart ... go Fastly ... where no man has gone before.
I ask you, dwellers of the Tavern... what is the chance of getting a GUID collision while developing a SharePoint feature? because that is what just happened.
@rene the coffee machine? Sure. Brb
@Derpy GUID collisions never happen, except when you really don't want it to happen.
user202362
10:03
@Derpy I recall an instance where a C# method (.Net 1.1 era) in BizTalk would generate duplicate guids if you ran the Guid.NewGuid() in a very tight loop. Knowing SP I doubt it is that optimized that is even capable of invoking stuff that often. I say it is a bug, not a guid issue.
user202362
@Derpy ?
10:18
@Derpy not SharePoint (well, SQL Server, close friend), but it happened. You're just (un)lucky
10:43
@rene two different developers, two different machines. The GUID is an unique identifier that is associated to a Feature when you create it in VS. Basically, when you select "Add -> New Feature" the template creates a new stub with a randomly generated GUID. When you install the solution, SP uses said guid to identify the feature. As a result, if two feature use the same guid, you will experience FUN (see: Dwarf Fortress definition of FUN) .....
For example, if one feature is deactivated, the other one will too and so on...
.....
Anyway, probably "VS random GUID generator" isn't exactly random...

Turned out my comment was spot on
I even guessed the dev correct ...
@rene well, it was originally said (probably written) by waffles.... ;)
I've a friend who's maintaining one of my previous projects, asking me some questions about the elasticsearch we set up back then. More than 6 years later it's still running on the same v0.12 instance without any trouble, surprisingly
Most of the times software is much more stable if everybody would keep their hands off it.
13:42
Funny moment. I dodged a bug by mistake.
gg
@Stijn well, it's... elastic. ;)
@rene even jQuery?
@Bart dd
@ShadowWizard you just touched the root of all evil.
@rene nah, that's eval
and C pointers
C17.5 will allow for eval on pointers. Or pointers on eval.

C# 10 will write itself without any pointers

Apparently it's quite hard to get question banned on MSO
I guess the ban algorithm is less strict than on main?
@Stijn impossible actually as it's per-site meta. Only manual suspension can stop a user from posting.

hmm...

Q: Is there even an automatic ban on meta?

juergen dSomewhere I heard the automatic question ban on Meta is set lower than on the main site. But looking at the profile of this user on SR.SE it looks like there is absolutely no automatic ban on meta. Is this intended behaviour?

it does not explicitly mention the meta sites of the sites which do have ban
14:34
@Stijn are we trying hard enough?
I don't think I've ever seen anyone get banned on MSO?
user202362
unless they are banned on SO?
@rene sounds like something for MythBusters
They are free now, so we can call them ...
@rene they can make tons of rep on LH

Why anyone ever called him Natasha?

Haha, either someone in the coworking here really likes the music, or they're busier playing Minecraft than they are working.
@Bart I'll put my money on the latter :)
I have been afk-farming in the past myself, so I can't say too much. :p
Either way, it's not very nice of them to play the music for everyone to hear :p
@Stijn Blame Microsoft for having a "Minecraft Server" template available in the "Create New Virtual Machine" section on Azure Management Portal.

Looks like I may have written the last check of my life... even the landlord takes electronic bank transfers now. Come to think of it, do checkbooks even exist anywhere outside the U.S.?
@zaq oh yeah.
"landlords" here accept only checks so far. 12 in advance, for a full year.
Can one send a delayed electronic bank transfer, that will surely give the money in exact time in the future no matter what?
user315433
They can be scheduled, yes.
Though businesses these days all accept credit cards, except very few.
@zaq hmm... so maybe one day the landlords will switch as well, but considering their age is usually... higher than average... I doubt it will happen in this generation.
user315433
Having to pay rent a full year in advance is kind of harsh.
I doubt a 70 years old man will bother to learn about it just to make the life of those who rent easier. He prefers to walk once a month to the bank, put the check, and get the money.
(or maybe put them all in advance? Not sure.)
@zaq well, that's the standard here.

Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan FRS (pronunciation: /ˈʃriːniˌvɑːsə ˈrɑːmɑːˌnʊdʒən/; 22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact who lived during the British Raj. Though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation; it was quickly recognized by Indian mathematicians. When his skills became obvious and known to the wider mathematical community, centred in Europe at the time...
