Q: What Easter Eggs do the chat sites have?

According to balpha, the SE chat sites may have individual Easter eggs, depending on the site. If you find them, please post. Edit: Because it's so easy to make this stuff up, a screenshot as proof would be nice. (Although Photoshop ain't that hard either...)

Derpy

@ShaWizDowArd You... don't know the "Robot Unicorn Attack/Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution" flash game, do you?

Bart

What's next? Give us the exact route?

Derpy

11:24 AM

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@Derpy indeed

I don't know many flash games actually....

don't like flash games

Derpy

@ShaWizDowArd it is just an endless runner.

With a peculiar art style

very flashy. Very 80'. Very pink.

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@Bart yes. What's your exact route from your home door to the bus station?

@Derpy there wasn't Flash in the 80's...

And luckily enough, Flash won't be anymore in the 20's!

It's heavy, buggy, probably full with security holes to this day, and overall just cause more damage than good...

Redo

@Bart but how you walk? Right leg first or left leg first?

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@JourneymanGeek no issues. Even we're downloading from India. So why a person from Israel afraid of it?

Journeyman Geek

@Redo I'd have a grumpy word and a deletion if it was on the other chat ;p

I have no powers here ;p

Still piracy, and as such uncool

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

I don't download pirated games for long time, just buying, but as for movies we don't have here, it's very hard to get legally, so...

Same for TV shows that were here then taken down e.g. Dexter

Had to download it recently. :/

Journeyman Geek

eh, I might download, I just fon't link em on chat ;p

Where in the World is Mobile Development?

Jason Punyon on August 22, 2017

In a previous post, we used the Stack Overflow Trends tool to look at how technology usage in mobile development has changed over time. But we’ve often found that popular languages, platforms and technologies differ across cities and countries as well.

In this post we’ll explore where mobile development happens, and what these countries might have in common. We’ll look at Android and iOS, and pour one out for Windows Phone.

We geocode all of our traffic and know every question’s tags, so we can plot the percentage of traffic from each country that goes to questions with the Android tag. …

We're going one more week before restarting the election because there's one thing I'd like to address in a Meta post but I haven't quite had the right words for it yet. Was supposed to have it ready for today but did not successfully do that.

Just admit you had no idea what those 200 lines did but once removed, the bug was gone as well...

Bart

I have no idea what any of my code does

I just type until the compiler stops complaining

rene

That works for the majority of coders I guess... raises hand

user315433

True... when my students enter a formula with a bunch of parentheses, their method is to keep adding ) at the end of formula until the computer stops complaining. Never mind if the result makes sense.

Oded

That tactic works, unless the problem is too many )...

user315433

I suppose they switch to adding ( at the beginning, then.

When will they switch? When the compiler spits out Line too long?

Oh. I should not have blamed them; Matlab does this itself.
