I'm so confused why my phone brings up Meta Stack Overflow all the time when I type in "ma" o.o Am I really that addicted?
@animuson yes

ohh ho... Mr. mod himself :P @timM - when did u become a mod on chem?
10:53
@Lix meta.chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/132/… Week back :) Still getting used to it :P
Chem.SE/TL has been why I'm not that active on MSO--MSO was where I went if I was bored; now I have a shiny new site and chat room to use :D
Lix
Lix
hehe - well congrats... its always nice to get recognition :)
Thanks :)

I'd be happy to moderate the facebook mini site... but that request has been denied :/

Q: Can we have a facebook.stackoverflow mini-site moderator election?

OffBySomeThe new Facebook partnership has been great and it has attracted a lot of new developers to the site. Unfortunately, it has also attracted a lot of people asking completely off-topic questions and a ton of duplicates. For example, I think there are 15 questions a day asking why their Facebook lik...

@Lix I bet they just didn't fancy another wave of facebook site specific bug reports
Lix
Lix
Well that happens in any case... a mod election wouldn't change that...
11:04
but more filtered tools/views (i.e. the mod stuff) means more bugs presumably
Lix
Lix
I guess it bothered me more back when I couldn't VTC... I felt helpless in all that crap... now that I can kind of do something about it... its less annoying :P
ohh... I see what you mean... bugs about the facebook mini site...
yea yea... I can see where you coming from with that...

@mos - whats up man? sorry - I haven't been around lately :P
What is there to do in Israel in July?
Lix
Lix
sweat
;)
I'm going to be there for a whole month, nothing scheduled yet.
Haha, seriously.
Lix
Lix
hehehe.... um...well its summer - there are always things to do in the summer... beaching and stuff...
usually there are lots of concerts also.. not sure about this year...
ummmm... I'm not 100% sure what to suggest to you hey :P I'm sure though also after your BR trip you'll see some cool places that you might want to go back to...you know...
12:18
@Lix - I'm kinda wondering what coding opportunities there might be. Although I don't have a solid grasp on Hebrew, I've been somewhat exposed to it.
Lix
Lix
do you understand hebrew? Like spoken hebrew?
@Lix - I do, but I'm sure it'll be way too fast for me.
Lix
Lix
mmm... well... with regard to coding opportunities, what do you mean? Like some freelance projs?
Well, that's another "thing" to do - improve my Hebrew skills.
Yea, that.
Freelancing or interning or whatever.
do Intel have an internship programme?
12:22
I've worked with a company called Davka, which is based out of Beit Shemesh, but those folks are originally from Chicago, so it won't necessarily help my Hebrew.
@awoodland - I bet they do, and I would guess applications would be long closed. But that's a good idea to look into.
@Lix - if you find anything, please poke me. I can do iOS/Objective-C, web programming with the LAMP stack, Actionscript (ugh), studied C++ in school, and I've toyed with Python, Ruby, .NET, but it'd be a bad idea for me to work with most of those things, considering the time constraints.
Actually, what do you think about Israeli colleges? Any shot I can get a summer class in?
Lix
Lix
hmm... well about colleges i'm really clueless :P havent gotten round to higher education :P]
Mhhnm? Okay.
@lix Are you native Israeli? You seem to do English rather well.
Lix
Lix
I mean i could ask here at my office if they could use some extra man hours in july... we have only 1 ios dev here ATM...
(autocorrect nearly went with @lox that time)
Oh, sweet, maybe that would work. Is your office in TA?
Lix
Lix
@mos - its a long story :P I was born here but left at age 4... so my roots are here... but i was brought up in africa - only came back when i was 16.... I am native israeli by the books... but i don't feel that israeli :P
yes - I work in TLV...
@lox... hehe close....close but no cigar ;)
12:31
@Lix I misread that as "I was born at the age of 4"
Haha
Lix
Lix
@awo - talk about getting a head start ;)
The lox was born at the age of 4.
Lix
Lix
lox reminds me of the lorax :P
im sure that would have been his screen name :P haha
I was born a couple months ahead of schedule. (yay for personal stuff on the Internet)
Lix
Lix
12:33
couldnt wait to get out and see the world ;)
Eh, not so exciting. Been late ever since.
@lix what kind of stuff do you guys do?
Lix
Lix
mostly smallish sites... um.... we did the whole israeli dominoes site though :P
Are they kosher in Israel?
They're not here. :-)
Hello from inmanage.com?
Lix
Lix
12:35
ohh.. hehe dominos? :P I think there are certain branches that are...
thats the company...
There's nothing on the website.
Is it in flash?
Lix
Lix
nope...oh - you on your phone... hmmm...
Yup.
Lix
Lix
also the section on IOS devel is only in hebrew :P
Sec, I'll open my laptop.
Lix
Lix
12:36
oh hahahahahaha thats what it actually said?? lolz :P
Yea, you might want me to make an iOS app or web app for you guys. :p
Lix
Lix
well yes :P hehe
and i mean about the hebrew - everyone here at least has a good english...
Ah, hello from my laptop.
Lix
Lix
lower-case "i"? :P
@Lix, is that capital IPAD an Israeli thing? Wait, it's not. I see it here in fundraiser materials all the time. IPAD i-Pad I-PAD i PAD Ugh..
Every time iSee it iSigh.
Lix
Lix
12:41
reminds me of this edit :P totally cracked me up :P
Hahaha
lol
Lix
Lix
true story :P hehe
iSee that.
@Lix: Anyway, so it would be cool if you could ask your place if they'd be interested. I have a resumé (and a careers profile) if necessary.
Lix
Lix
cool man - I'll definitely ask the other iOS dev and the CTO... :)
Thanks, be in touch via email?
Lix
Lix
12:45
ahh yes yes - sure thing man
Cool, thanks.
Lix
Lix
np
If they wonder about the effectiveness of a month of interning, I did write one app in under 40 hours spread out over 3 weeks. ;-)
(Winter break)
@Lix Now, I was between bed and שחרית.... Time to get moving. yawn
@Lix It bothers me that the editor there changed your spelling of "behavior." That's not really useful or necessary.
Lix
Lix
@mos - hehe! בוקר טוב!
@jad - whats really funny is that that is the correct spelling (for me at least)... behaviour.... colour... even chrome is trying to correct me :P
12:47
@Lix תודה רבה, גם לך.
Lix
Lix
@mos - thats about all the Hebrew you need to get by here ;)
@Lix And this: בסדר
Lix
Lix
most importantly though - "יהיה בסדר" :P
"its gonna be ok" :P
Can't wait until my psuedofake מבטא (accent) gets laughed out of town. "Stupid american kid trying to sound like us."
@Lix That is funny. Chrome corrects me if I type "behaviour" or "colour."
Lix
Lix
12:50
hahahaha - I get laughed at all the time for my southern african english accent here :P
I'm one of those people who learns words by reading them, but then I don't know how to actually pronounce them.
:-0
Lix
Lix
@jad - thats just the British spelling :P
@mos - thats what the ניקוד is there for ;)
@Lix I thought there's no ניקוד in anything made for people above the age of like four. My גמרא in school never had ניקוד.
I haven't seen any on photos of Israeli street signs either. (Not the hebrew part anyway, I dunno what it's called in Arabic, but there's plenty of it.)
@Lix I know, I was just surprised that Chrome's spell checker has fine-tuned localization like that =)
Lix
Lix
no its true - there isn't much anywhere... not in the newspaper for example.... and no - none on street signs - but the signs have hebrew english and arabic... so that won;t be much trouble...
12:53
I want ma' vowels!
{A joke confusing bowels and vowels here.}
Lix
Lix
@mos - lol :P
@Lix Ok, really, להתראות. היה כיף. (Yay, Google Translate confirms that I spelled that correctly.)
Lix
Lix
@mos - ביי-ביי!
@jad - I think its just totally bias towards the american spelling...
@Lix Or, as someone once told my Dad when they were trying to show off their Hebrew skillzination: נעים מעט :P
Lix
Lix
@jad - ahh - but there are two versions of chrome when you come to download it... English (US) English (UK)... perhaps thats where the change is..
נעים מעט ?
12:57
@Lix Ah, that must be it. It's been so long since I downloaded it, I forgot there was a choice.
@Lix Instead of נעים מאוד
Lix
Lix
@mos - ahh - hehehe :P חצוף :P
@Lix הדיותי is more like it. :P
Lix
Lix
hehehe - i don't think I've ever seen that written before :P lol
@Lix Just picked a logical sounding one from Google Translate's list there. (First word taken from there all {time of day} - באמת!)
Speaking of באמת...

Q: Why a bounty cost so much?

RTAI want to point out that why bounty could be start according to the suggested points by stackoverflow. It could be user defined how much a user wants to start with. if i have a question of 10 reputation so why should i start bounty with 100 or 50. thanks

LOL! The comments here are hilarious :P
I've been enjoying this...um...trainwreck. Especially the 2nd revision.

I used neither jQuery nor freehand circles in my most recent MSO answer. hangs head in shame.
@awoodland thanks ^_^
13:52
Btw, you MSO folks may find this script useful
(use the raw link to install)
Lets you punch users
very satisfying when someone does something like this [post wrong answer, get accepted, nothing I can do about it]
That question I linked to just keeps getting better. Apparently, the OP created a sock puppet account, answered his bounty question, and awarded himself the bounty.

@timM - that user script... is the best thing that happened to me all day :P hahaha Me gusta!
gets a ball of flames thrown at the user... moon walks over his corpse and then moons him... 3 part insult... nice one :P
@Lix It's a spinoff of meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/34903/… Same thing really, just applied to users
I find myself using it disturbingly often
Lix
Lix
@timM hehe - still.. on a user its much more satisfying :P
Exactly :)
And so tempting
you see a sucky post, and there's a convenient "punch" link under the gravatar. Click!
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA It no worky worky

@TimManishEarth I knowy knowy :-P jsfiddle.net/maniator/H5LKy
That one is the original one I am working off of
originally i made it a hangman game
now I am switching it to wheel of fortune
@TimManishEarth cool, no?
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Yep :)
Lix
Lix
@timM - hehe - you can also sick KEEN on editors of the post :P
@TimManishEarth any ideas on how to make a wheel of fotune snipper with just JS and not using canvas?
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA CSS rotate modifiers?
brb
@TimManishEarth ...maybe
I need an image of the wheel
14:30
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Yep :)
var a=0;setInterval(function(){$('.user-image').css('-webkit-transform','rotate('+a+'deg)');a++},10);

The only way you as a user can remove a bounty is by awarding it. — awoodland 2 hours ago
I was worried that comment might have been what persuaded that user to bounty his sockpuppet but then I realised that can only be a good thing since it made the sockpuppet damn obvious
Want me to report it?
Aah, already banned
@TimManishEarth NO libraries. I think i figured it out
Yeah, looks all sorted by the time I looked back
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Yeah, you don't need jquery here.. Just used to it. You'd need some randomness, though
And slowing down, etc
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Just bounces
and spins
But you probably knowy knowy that as well :P
@TimManishEarth All I want it to do is spin
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Huh? I'm supposed to visit your inlaws?
@Moshe lol no u asked what was in NJ lol
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Ohh...
14:45
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Aha.
I see.

Have I ever told you guys how much I love <asp:UpdatePanel>s?

Q: Timezone conversion doesn't work when run on Jetty server

kamlesh0606I made a timezone conversion script in Java. When I ran it, it completed and I got output. When I ran the same code in a Jetty server, I got some problems. E.g. for system time 2012/05/29 18:36:41 converting to "Pacific/Apia(-11)" gave output: Wed May 30 02:06:41 IST 2012 "Pacific/Honolulu(-10...

@PopularDemand I think they think they're reporting a bug in Jetty
which is so wrong in so many ways
The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth, that runs from the north to the south pole and demarcates one calendar day from the next. It passes through the middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly following the 180° longitude but it deviates to pass around some territories and island groups. The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth to the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian helps to define Universal Time and is the meridian from which all other time zones are calculated. Time zones to the east of the Prime Meridian are in adva...
mystery solved
Good interpretation. I thought he was having issues with his own code that he was running using Jetty.

Links to this question are appearing EVERYWHERE - hence the 15000 views. Everything about this question and the way its used and linked to all over the place is completely negative. How do you think a user feels when they ask a question only to be told "Stack overflow is not your personal research assistant" with a link to this question. Its offensive, condescending and downright bitchy. What Stack Overflow is not..... this question, and the way its used to enforce the rules and opinions of <200 users like its the gospel truth, epitomises everything stack overflow isn't. — reach4thelasers 2 hours ago

There's a mechanism in place for questions to be moved between Stack Exchange sites automatically. I have flagged for a mod to roll your question back and move it so the existing answers aren't lost. I don't use UX SE myself though, so I can't guarantee that your question will be welcomed there. — Lord Torgamus 5 mins ago

leoabbasiI need to make website like Shutterstock , vectorstock etc... is there any open source Project available for it ? i can buy this project...

I'm not sure what the guy who asked for a price is intending, but we don't need people conducting transactions in comments.
@PopularDemand I'm with you now.
Gah! How'd you get past security?!
@PopularDemand Magic Science.
Dude deleted his post on UX while I was writing a very eloquent comment. How rude.
Maybe a mod did it? The migration just went through.
I'm getting the "voluntarily removed by its author" 404 page. He may have deleted in response to the successful migration.

Thanks for the offer, but I've decided to just sample from an arbitrary time frame instead, since it will give me the rate and that's what's important.

@balpha @JeremyBanks tl;dr "that bug has a great personality"
@PopularDemand Done and done. Well, I've done my some-kind-of deed for the day.
Anonymous
@balpha Ah, well that's good enough. I was trying to figure out how spin "1% of linking posts are affected" into "you all should care about this", but that's a bit difficult.
Jeff's answer makes it sound like it's just a regex on the post source for things matching the full URL? So I guess the full solution involves only linking things that would be linkified and are of the applicable URL type, if that's still true.
Hmm, speaking of super-serious bugs, my mobile site bug is still pending. Good thing I don't go anywhere that requires me to use my mobile phone for web browsing often.
18:31
Dangit, Grace deleting her comment there makes me look (even more) like a madman (than usual).
I don't see any deleted comments, so I can only assume you're making this story up to try and hide the fact that you are even more of a madman than usual today.
How exactly are you looking for deleted comments?
Sometimes I question whether people who are writing questions or answers bother to look at the editor field, let alone the preview space.
I imagine them staring intently at their keyboard while typing, sweat dripping from their brow; then furiously clicking "Post Your Question" as quickly as possible after finishing.
By the way is there any similar web site like stackoverflow.com where I can write with developers very fast? — user989100 Mar 16 at 20:58

Hey, I'm quite new to git, could somebody clear something out for me about the workflow: I'm working on a C# project in VS 2010, my question are:
how often do you commit? Do you commit everything from a small change in a variable name, or do you commit only bigger more conceptual stuff?
I tend to try to commit either "issue at a time" or "work in progress" if I'm on my own branch and it's the end of the day.
@mootinator ok, perfect, my other question would be do I always have to specify the file I'm changing?
git add thisfile?
or `git commit -am "Something"
That automatically adds all changed files
ahhhh
Of course, if you've changed a file you don't want to commit, that's not the way.
23:31
that was what I was looking for
I find using TortoiseGit or the IntelliJ git integration works fine for me, because I frequently change files I don't want to commit.
@DanielFischer nah, of course! thanks daniel, that was exactly what I was looking for!
I'll check it out, it didn't make sense to have to point to the file every time
Glad to help, you may accept the most helpful answer after 15 minutes.
@DanielFischer I've starred you already ;)
And another star on the long way to Talkative.
23:34
Talkative is a long way?
Well, if you aren't really...
I got my talkative once that @mootinator went crazy and started starring everything...
I see.
I got my talkative by the talkative badge being created.
he
It also helps that I came in here not too long after the chat rooms opened and said "oy" a few times.
23:36
@mootinator good ol' days
23:48
And one more question guy about branching...
Ok, so again I'm working on VS
lets say I create a branch and start working on it
Wen do I merge? When I'm absolutely sure that branch is working and helpful?
@Trufa depends
Or is it an easily undoable process
@mootinator on what? :)
@Trufa What you're trying to accomplish
@mootinator whether it is a fix or a new feature for example?
I'd say it has a lot to do with how long the implementation takes.
I tend to merge master into my work fairly frequently.
If you're working on a local branch (not shared with anyone) for awhile you probably want to rebase instead of branch.
Because it avoids merge commits.
And merge commits are the devil.*
23:55
There's too many brain cells in this tavern. It needs more alcohol.
@mootinator I didn't know those exist... And yes I am the only one working in this project...
