$(dishwasher, animuson).fix();
 
@michaelb958 ReferenceError: dishwasher is not defined
 
@TimWolla You're missing the point of the joke.
 
@michaelb958 At least try to make some valid jQuery :-)
i.e.: Use a string
 
@TimWolla jQuery doesn't need to be valid! jQuery is self-fixing, all-powerful, and Skeet distilled into code!!
 
@michaelb958 $ = jQuery = undefined :)
 
12:09 AM
@TimWolla Tempted to flag as blasphemy.
 
@TimWolla HERESY!!!
var j=document.createElement('script');j.src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js";document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(j);
 
hmm
@Doorknob $ = jQuery = document.createElement = undefined :-)
 
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].innerHTML+="<script src='//code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js'></sc"+"ript>"
>:O
 
@TimWolla window.location.reload(); // Sorry, we always win

You are mean. :(
 
12:19 AM
@TimWolla Hypocrite! No programming library abuse allowed in this chatroom!
 
@Doorknob stackexchange.users.doorknob = undefined?
 
@TimWolla ReferenceError: stackexchange is not defined
 
@TimWolla ROLLBACK TRANSACTION (Or a 403, whichever comes first.)
 
ok, gtg to walk dog
 
@Doorknob I thought that's PCG's job?
 
12:23 AM
$("dog", doorknob).walk(); // @TimWolla Happy now?
 
@michaelb958 Too much jQuery.
BTW: I just replaced with in a question. I am happy!
 
@TimWolla Really tempted to flag as blasphemy.
You can never have too much jQuery.
 
@michaelb958 Can jQuery solve the global warming problem?
 
@TimWolla $(globalWarming).fix();
 
12:27 AM
$(PHP).nuke();
 
Where?
 
@TimWolla There!
Oh my goodness, that $EXPLETIVE has stolen my name! Nuke him from orbit!!!
 
Almost all of his past ten (or more, I didn't look at them all) edits have been changing "varibale" to "variable"
 
12:32 AM
I killed it.
 
Can we finally get Robo-Approver punishment tools? :(
 
@TimWolla Rejected by me. Take that, coconut vandals!
 
That's so obvious an audit.
The system likes use Haskell questions for audits I think.
 
don't audits hide the score of the post?
 
12:36 AM
Okay. I looked at Michael's suggested edits, and the past two hours and five pages are all varibale -> variable.
 
@TheGuywithTheHat Let me guess: > 80% approved? Because they change something.
;)
 
@TimWolla I have yet to see one that isn't approved!
 
Oh, this changes everything. :(
 
And most of them don't even have a single reject!
 
sigh
 
12:38 AM
And I have to go now!
:(
Bye guys!
 
@theguy Bye!
 
@tim That question mark broke the tag formatting :p
 
We need tags with special characters. Otherwise the following important tags are not possible: [tag:???] [tag:help!!!!]
 
12:43 AM
@Doorknob I like that proposal.
 
@ShadowWizard Huh? Of coruse not.
 
status-disagree
 
@doorknob Can you post a screenshot of stackoverflow.com/questions/22672466/… , please?
I want to know if it's the same JavaScript xss guy as @timw posted
 
> This account is temporarily suspended to cool down. The suspension period ends in 3 days
 
12:51 AM
@Doorknob Nope, he's a different guy. Thank you!
 
Oh it's like a code golf challenge, I can do that too @TimWolla — Paul S. 2 mins ago
I feel the term “code golf” being misused here
 
@TimW About the HTML question- idk
I meant "I disagree," but I said it more nicely
 
@TimWolla But when you are over 2k, minor typo edits are okay!
 
adds random <pre>s
 
@BlueIce Because they don't eat up time of reviewers. But you should strive for perfection then anyway
@Doorknob I already approved that one. The <pre>'s were there before.
He probably edited AFTER I accepted.
 
@TimWolla No they weren't...?
Anyway, why would there be <pre>s in the code
 
1:19 AM
@Doorknob Look at the markdown view.
 
That was just the OP's attempt to get code formatting
 
Anyway, he edited his suggestion after I approved.
This should be disallowed :(
 
has SE been running slower lately for anyone else or just me? Like some things load fine, but others take longer.

A: Object Key via Value

PHPglueLike: function getKey(o, k){ for(var i in o){ if(o[i] === k){ return i; } } return 'No match was found.'; } var user = {name:'john', age:26, gender:'male'} getKey(user, 'male');

I like that return value at the very end.
 
@TimWolla You can't edit a suggestion
 
1:20 AM
@TimWolla About the edits- of course! I'm a perfectionist! blushes
@Doorknob But you can improve a suggestion
 
@Doorknob Oh, you can. It already happened to me once. And there is a thread on Meta as well!
 
linky plz?
 
I'll check whether I find it

A: Why can a suggested edit change while in review?

Shadow WizardSuggested edits have grace period. If the editor changes his/her edit while it's still during review (i.e. not rejected or approved yet) the next reviewer will see only that updated edit without any way to see the previous/original edit. (most likely there's window of 5 minutes or so, didn't chec...

gotcha!
 
huh
has potential abuse for spammers?
 
like when I'm in the close queue , it takes a second or two to load the next question, or a second or two to load the fricken close reasons ... anyone else been experiencing this slow down within the last week?

@Stilly.stack nope
check the network tab on your devtools
/console/thing
 
seems like the database isn't running as fast as it use too.. also , a lot of times, if i just click to view the total up and down votes, it takes 4 seconds , like wth
 
@Stilly I'm not experiencing your problem, it's just my crappy internet :)
 
@Stilly.stack I think it is pretty slow currently as well.
@Doorknob Yep.

I already complained to Anna that I looked like a retard, because I rejected a perfectly fine edit.
Perfectly fine, after the editor edited it…
 
1:26 AM
@TimWolla gives hug
Hugs are free, so we should give lots of them
 
@BlueIce Thanks, I appreciate it!
:-)
 
@timw yup!
 
@BlueIce Hugs are violation #00492 of SE's sexual harassment guidelines
 
@Stilly linky?
 
1:30 AM
@Doorknob Yes, quite.
Poor guy.
 
@Doorknob I like the new [tag:cv-pls-*]-tags
 
@Stilly Not sure why they would be guidelines if they are enforced... ?

@michaelb !
 
whoops, reject please
I misread that one
:-(
 
1:54 AM
@timw And that is why I am qbanned for a day :P
 
@BlueIce I usually pass my audits :)
 
Psst. @TimWolla. stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/4434578 is an invalid edit ;)

hiya @Doorknob :D
 
@Undo As I said, I misread that one.

@Undo Hi!
 
woops, didn't read up. Sorry ;)
 
@Undo don't go up more

hahaha, the next review instantly was an audit

@timw I had this gem of an audit, then I failed another questionable one :/

@BlueIce I think that one is clearly bad.

B-But I want to stop Robos :(
 
@TimWolla You can guess at suggested edit IDs and find bad ones that get approve votes.

@Doorknob Only available for 10kers.
 
@Undo ah, right
 
and mods
 
I am 10k in 4 up votes.
But all the current questions are crap :(
Strange, where did this 20 rep come from? :P
 
Whenever I'm on SO, I like to do moderationy things. But I can't do very many, because I don't have much rep because I spend all my time doing moderationy things :(

2:06 AM
Probably SU?
I am so excited.
 
gtg, cya
 
Which answer will push me over the mark? :-)
 
@timw Merry Christmas!
 
Strange, my top bar just changed. Must be a bug!
 
2:10 AM
And now you are a 10ker, you whiny rep-mongerer :P
@timw Most people call that cronyism :)
 
:-P
 
I wish I could spend more time on SO, but I've been super busy making a toolbox
It's coming along really nicely, though :)
 
And already found a bug in the 10k tools
 
@timw Yay!

Q: Suggested Edits Dashboard doesn't agree with Suggested Edits view

MakotoI recall this review: It was one that I knew could use a bit more spit and polish, but I didn't have the inclination or energy to edit it myself, so I skipped it. I wander my way over to Suggested Edits Dashboard (10K only), and look at the listing... ...so, when did I approve this again? ...

That one
The Tools told me I approved some edits I did not approve! :(
 
2:22 AM
in theory
Anyway, the pictures turned out pretty good!

It should be pretty cool! i'm excited
Any thoughts? I'm thinking of making an Instructable or something.

a few upvotes are okay :P

@Undo ok. ;)
@michaelb I made you something!
^ here you go!
@Undo you're probably jealous so I made you one too
@Emilie It's a late night party fest!
Join the fun!
Actually, I'm going to bed.
God, the people tomorrow morning are going to be... confused.
 
@BlueIce I always wanted that... Maybe if I become a pro tem and terrorise a beta site they'll make a tag in my honour!
 
@michaelb Someday... this will all be yours
I think that taking over a chat room and chatting with yourself is not what chat rooms are meant for.
Oh well.
Too late now.
Anyway, I'm really going to bed now.

Not a golf fan.
 
@SuhosinPony like this?

@SuhosinPony you could attempt to replicate that "Creative ways to print 42" answer.
Try a brainfk program shaped like a pony that prints a pony.

Q: Write program in your favorite language in another language

el.pescado The determined Real Programmer can write Fortran programs in any language. from Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal Your task is to write program in your programming language of choice, but you are allowed to use only another language. That is, throw away all coding conventions from one langu...

would they accept something like "VB in C#"?
(or the reverse)
 
I leave for ten minutes and this place turns into Tavern on the Code Golf?
 
JIT:morning
 
@michaelb958 Yep. You are right..... No place for this.
 
@SPArchaeologist I already have a perl program that looks like a pony and prints Sweetie Belle is Best Pony :P
 
@SuhosinPony So I will switch to Tavern of the Pony.
@SuhosinPony Nonono. I want a program that outputs a pony ascii art. And the program must be also a pony ascii art :P
just like the 42 that prints 42 answer on that code golf question ^_^
 
10:59 AM
I'm sure that's possible
 
@SuhosinPony So was writing an hello world in malabolge. But it required to write a program that calculated it. ^_^
 
11:13 AM
Is there any flag for a question, where the OP is clearly asking for code, with no effort from his/her side.
 
Not specific
But you could downvote
 
ya, that is done
 
or flag for closing with as reason either unclear or off-topic lack information to diagnose.
 
like the question here
 
The Unclear close reason in the end has a link for the OP that guides him to how-to-ask on the help center
 
11:16 AM
the question is clear to understand
shouldn't there be a flag that, OP is just asking for homework/code with no effort put from his/her side? or "no research done by OP"
 
I close voted as unclear, downvoted and left a comment
 
ok, I did same
 
That is not off-topic perse as seen here: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/10811/…
 
and now there is a spam on meta

@DroidDev the code is dropped in the question...
and gone...
 
11:26 AM
@DroidDev "So long and thanks for the downvotes."
 
deleted by the OP...I expect he got his answer and now deleted the question
 
I expect that he deleted it because it had at least one spam flag and a score near -6
 
@SPArchaeologist always there and happy to help
 
@SPArchaeologist I was referring to the question on SO earlier...
spam is gone indeed
 
@rene ops. my bad then
 
11:29 AM
I would not call it bad...
 
@rene my bad for the misunderstanding, not for the deletion
 
I misunderstand everything constantly so welcome in my world :-)
 
@SuhosinPony @rene I believe it is time for a Derpy sign of approval then.
 
I found following written in third point of this link http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic :-
Questions asking for code must demonstrate a minimal understanding of the problem being solved. Include attempted solutions, why they didn't work, and the expected results. See also: Stack Overflow question checklist.
So I guess that question, we were talking about earlier, was better candidate for off-topic flag.
 
11:52 AM
@Flyk morning. Are you online?
 
12:18 PM
@michaelb958 We're INVADING!!! >:D
 
@rene interesting enough, mods can post comments on deleted posts. Oded posted a comment on that spam question when it was already deleted.
