not in this turn..
 
goes through emails
 
@Vogel612'sShadow ur annoying cause you draw it out. :)
 
@Frank You could've taken my queen with your bishop if I hadn't taken the knight.
 
@Vogel612'sShadow but you did.
 
killing off always takes eternities against good players..
 
3:03 PM
o/
 
@Vogel612'sShadow which is why it's good you're playing me...
 
@Unihedron want to play on that Chess.com thing? Looks like that one's working for me.
 
Eh, sure, I need to enable cookies first though.
 
3:04 PM
nom nom
 
I think I just remembered my Lichess password.
(read: I just thought of some potential combinations which I haven't tried yet)
 
Great. It's giving us errors though.
 
inb4 chess.com borked report
^there
 
... so this is what bored people do on Friday's: play chess.
 
@Frank finally..
 
3:08 PM
@hichris123 Join us!
 
wouldn't have seen it without my bishop. in danger, though..
 
@Unihedron I'm going through emails, cleaning up my room... sigh
 
@Vogel612'sShadow gg :)
 
Didn't Friday used to have happy hour?
 
@Frank gg wp ;)
either way I'm off for today.
 
3:09 PM
And I miss the tag.
 
Bye bye @Vog!
 
@hichris123 yeah, but Anna killed it
 
@Unihedron I'll play you on either site...

Happy Hour is dead. Long live Happy Hour.

@Vogel612'sShadow Bye!
 
bows, curtain falls
::poof::
 
poke after poof @Vogel612'sShadow
Bye :)
 
@Vogel612'sShadow @Vogel612'sShadow @Vogel612'sShadow
 
@Vogel612'sShadow poke
 
... and those potential combinations are not working. Ugh.
 
3:12 PM
Why is everyone becoming so owlish? So many poofs...oof!
 
::unpoof::
 
::foop::
 
yay!
I think I sent you a thing @Unihedron
 
@JanDvorak foop retfa ekop
 
3:13 PM
3 days per move o_o
 
Sam
lol
 
that was the default :P
 
@Unihedron Do like vog and I did, play like blitz.
 
I'm at a chinese restaurant ATM. Should I eat a duck?
8
 
@Frank Can't, multitasking
 
3:14 PM
@Unihedron OK challenged
 
@JanDvorak Owls are non-edible
 
They have a live analyzing tool, not gonna use it though :)
 
*inedible
also, ...so?
 
Ok, I moved, see you on sunday!
 
rofl
 
3:15 PM
@InfiniteRecursion People eat owls. Google it.
@Unihedron noyadidnt
 
@Unihedron You have to click a submit button...
 
I hate myself now. After forgetting the password of my primary Lichess account, I also forgot the password of my sock...
 
Sorry @Unihedron, you're not gonna get away with that :P
 
i did and it submitted look at the bar
 
3:17 PM
In case you make a mistake
 
Ah, Chess.com has password recovery. I think I'm going to create an account there instead.
 
@Unihedron Lost it, link please
 
@JanDvorak If I can't eat an owl, I can atleast annoy it :P
 
@Unihedron There it is.
 
3:18 PM
@ProgramFOX It's slow though. It refreshes your page after every move. And it gives your opponent an analyzing tool. I like lichess more.
 
@Unihedron Refreshing? Ugh.
 
@InfiniteRecursion but... why?
 
@Unihedron You can play live, but you have to find the other player.
 
I promise I only used the analyzing tool once. 'Cause I had to see what it does, you know :P
 
I thought of sending a mail to Lichess explaining that I forgot my password and proving that it's actually me, but if I don't remember the password of my sock, I can hardly do that.
 
3:20 PM
Aww. :(
 
@Undo ur a cheater
#Undo-is-a-cheater
 
@JanDvorak because....I am neither playing chess nor eating ducks
 
Sam
good to know Inf isn't a cannibal
 
@JanDvorak anyway, enjoy yourself...no more pokes from me :)
 
I have three new emails because of chess.com.
 
3:26 PM
@Unihedron Accidentally challenged you to a game on the other site... you can ignore
 
If we have a rematch, can it please be live chess?
 
@Unihedron Yeh, but later. After this game, I gotta go to work.
 
Oh, I see. Good workin'!
 
:(
 
?:o
 
3:32 PM
Okay, I sent a mail to the Lichess team anyway.
 
yo
 
oy
 
@TGMCians Boring dp
 
3:36 PM
I think I found a way out of this
 
yo
 
@Undo oy?
 
Sam
@Undo What, out of that cookie silo?
 
@JanDvorak playing chess with @Unihedron

Lets understand Syllable by Syllable. “Vashi” means to Attract, Influence, Allure, Excite or Entice the Desired Person. In other words it refers to bringing a particular person under your Complete Control.

The term “Karan” indicates The Method or Technique of performing it as laid down in Ancient Scriptures.

3:37 PM
@Unihedron I have like 45 mins, so may have to abandon the game unless we play fast
 
@JanDvorak playing chess with @Undo and @Frank
@Frank ok, we can continue another time when you gotta go
 
@Frank yup. i feel it looks more better
 
@Unihedron Yah.
knew you were gonna do that with your queen
:(
 
:o
 
k, new you would trap me, too.
 
3:48 PM
@TGMCians Thanks @TGMCians, now I finally know what the baba tries to sell
 
no problem yeah
 
wonders how many ducks the owl ate
 
@CareBear it's also on Programmers. Haven't turned it on everywhere because I want to see if it helps first.

@Uni no! You're winning
 
3:59 PM
not really..

@Unihedron Uh... you have a rook
You have 4 pawns
 
but you have a bishop
 
@Shog9 Why a warning with all-caps and not just an outright quality block?
 
@Shog9 We've had quite a few hits from Smokey. Search his reports.
 
4:02 PM
@hichris123 two reasons: #1, that's a trivial block to work around. #2, better quality checks are in the pipeline; this is a stop-gap.
 
I'm looking forwards for said checks
 
@Unihedron Oh, wow, and I also have to refresh to look for new moves if I'm watching a game.
 
Bonus #3: SQL developers love typing in all caps for some stupid reason
 
@Shog9 Eh, trivial sure, but someone at least has to put some effort into it. Though #2 sounds good.
 
@ProgramFOX lols
@Shog9 I disagree with the part about it being stupid.
 
Sam
4:04 PM
thinks Uni is secretly an SQL dev
 
@Shog9 DON'T YOU SAY?
 
Outright blocks will only hamper detection, and we can't find and fix those because users will use workarounds
 
Fortran devs has the same issue
 
Sam
@InfiniteRecursion Agreed.
 
SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE Title NOT RLIKE "^[^A-Z]+$"
 
4:04 PM
@BRAIAM NEEDS TIME TO COOL DOWN
 
@Unihedron ok, that was unfair. Idiotic and annoying, based on traditions that should have died in the 1970s. Better?
 
@Shog9 Yeah!
 
what are the traditions, specifically? Just curious about the history
 
@JanDvorak Teletypes that could only do upper-case
 
oh. Is that the reason? Eugh.
 
4:07 PM
no! don't answer it Shog, I was about to ask an question :(
 
27
Q: Why should I capitalize my SQL keywords?

Stuart Branham Possible Duplicate: Is there a good reason to use upper case for T-SQL keywords? Duplicate of: Is there a good reason to use upper case for T-SQL keywords? Simple question. I personally find a string of lowercase characters to be more readable than a string of uppercase characters. ...

 
@Braiam you can still do that; there might be a better answer
but yeah - you'll see this in most of the very old languages
Some of them managed to break the habit; others...
 
come to think of it, isn't it the case that computers learned lowercase later than I did?
 
@Shog9 how we should deal with spam seed questions?
 
?
 
4:10 PM
Should we flag spam seeds as spam?
 
"what is the best learning institute in pune"
g2g soon, sorry
 
define "spam seeds"
 
questions that at glance looks valid, but short-while has several spam answers
 
@Shog9 The spammers are asking questions, and then a few minutes/hours/days later answering it with a spammy answer.
 
questions whose sole purpose is to attract spam
I flag the obvious cases as spam
 
4:11 PM
If you know it's a spammer, flag it
 
gg @Frank :)
 
thanks
 
If you're unsure, use the "other" flag and write "suspected spammer" or something.
 
@Unihedron gg
Later all!
 
Laters! Have a good day!
 
4:13 PM
All questions by this user were spam seeds @Shog9 stackexchange.com/users/5172534/rodeoskillful?tab=accounts
 
See you!

Q: What good reasons are there to capitalise SQL keywords?

BevanThere seem to be a lot of developers who write their SQL by capitalising the keywords: SELECT column FROM table INNER JOIN table ON condition WHERE condition GROUP BY clause HAVING condition I'm wondering why people stick to this approach? Clearly, it's a long established convention ...

 
Cya
 
4:14 PM
@InfiniteRecursion those are all pretty obvious, yeah
 
Should we flag spam seeds as spam if we have been observing the user and are sure that it's a spam seed? Or should we flag using "other" flag?
Oops, read the above messages now and got the answer...thanks :)
The only way to cope with having a Language within a Language, is to SHOUT the commands at the SQL interpreter ... — Ben DeMott Aug 15 '11 at 21:57

Q: Merge the [android-l] and [android-5.0-lollipop] tags

hichris123Android 5.0 Lollipop was just introduced yesterday. Before this, it was called Android L. Since it now has a name, could android-l be merged and synonymized into android-5.0-lollipop? This is the tag naming scheme that we've been using recently.

@TGMCians, don't ping the angry owl

@Unihedron unlikely :P
But possible

Hi guys
 
@hichris123 .. cv'd all.
 
Where can I find a list of all generic comments like " If this or any answer has solved your question please consider accepting it by clicking the check-mark. This indicates to the wider community that you've found a solution and gives some reputation to both the answerer and yourself. There is no obligation to do this" to use while reviewing posts
 
@Srikanth Assuming that you're talking only about comments that are for good, on topic questions and answers, what other types of comments would be on this list?
 
@LynnCrumbling Like ones I see under link only answers which say something like " to make this post a good answer follow these guidelines"
 
8:09 PM
@Srikanth Are you talking about the comments that are automatically added from the low quality queue when you review an answer?
 
user259867
 
@LynnCrumbling @CareBear Is this comment also automatically added? "This does not provide an answer to the question. To critique or request clarification from an author, leave a comment below their post - you can always comment on your own posts, and once you have sufficient reputation you will be able to comment on any post. "
 
user259867
@Srikanth This is one of automatic comments available to reviewers in Low Quality review. You need 2000 rep to use it.
 
@Srikanth Yes.
 
8:15 PM
@CareBear oh I don't have 2k rep yet I have started reviewing Late answers and first posts a week . I think of posting comments like these on borderline cases and see if the OP edits or else flag the post.
@CareBear @LynnCrumbling Thanks for the info. I have never noticed the auto button under comments is some thing similar available for Late answers and First posts queues?
 
user259867
@Srikanth I think not. If you don't see it there, then it's not there.
 
user259867
However, the FP queue is due for a major redesign soon..
 
@CareBear Can you clarify if even this "If this or any answer has solved your question please consider accepting it by clicking the check-mark. This indicates to the wider community that you've found a solution and gives some reputation to both the answerer and yourself. There is no obligation to do this" is a auto comment?

A: My iPod is slower than my iPad

bjb568I think using memory size is an interesting idea. You may want to define the values with an expression (e.g. startingChunks = round(memSize / 600) * 2 + 8), rather than an else-if chain, tho if you want to target specific devices, an if-else chain is acceptable. Old: if (memSize < 256) { _...
