@Quill-HATMANIAC hey, you stole my idea! ;)
(was going to post similar answer when having some time to properly bake it)
@Quill-HATMANIAC yup, true :D
And to add to poor @bjb's problems, we now have this in the neighborhood!

help, they broke the chatroom javascript'
now I can't use it
 
@b_jonas clarify?
 
Whenever I try to scroll up in the joined chatroom (not in the trascript) the stupid javascript insists on scrolling the main window down to the last message.

well I know a user which has the same problem
 
@b_jonas confirmed, fixing
 
12:34 PM
I saw references to other bugs about scrolling, but they're old and fixed.
 
yeah this is just a few minutes old
 
oh good
This happened in the main chat too, not only here on meta chat.

Thank you.
 
@balpha do you get now a paper badge ? :D
 
that would've earned me a lot of paper badges over the years
I only have so much space in my office :)
 
Hmm. Maybe the flying tiger hat is awarded for breaking chat?
 
hehe, yeah how did you get it?
 
12:43 PM
@ProgramFOX yeah, so maybe it's per-site thing, e.g. not working on webapps?
 
let's check that
 
breaking chat
 
@ShadowWizard The "link at end" matcher is only enabled on:
["superuser.com", "drupal.stackexchange.com", "meta.stackexchange.com", "security.stackexchange.com", "patents.stackexchange.com"]
 
@ProgramFOX oh. I see, so this answers my initial question :)
 
I liked that unicode chat bug when you pinged a unicode username it was stipped out and you where able to ping all persons
@♥ had pinged all^^
 
12:47 PM
@+ᔕᖺᘎᕊ also did
oooooohhhhh... what a nice discovery.... balpha will hate me.
 
@balpha Remember your good friend "ᔕᖺᘎᕊ"? what do you believe happens if you search for that user name in the user list page (es: meta.stackexchange.com/users)? :P
 
yeah I know
haven't bothered to fix that yet
 
He will haunt you forevvver.
 
huh!
What a wonderful easter egg
@balpha plz plz don't fix! :D
 
12:54 PM
Evil Idea: should we try and tag something as "ᔕᖺᘎᕊ"? just to see the effects.
 
Muhaha
AFIK that was fixed
 
@Derpy tags don't accept unicode. I think.
 
@ShadowWizard I hope so.
 
Let's see...
 
[ SmokeDetector ] Blacklisted website in answer: Share USB drive between computers by Fred Drothost on softwarerecs.stackexchange.com
 
12:56 PM
@Derpy yup. Tag editor itself doesn't allow unicode, simply deleting it.
 
@ShadowWizard "– ᔕᖺᘎᕊ Nov 18 at 22:19" is that you?^^
 
@rekire hmm? Where is it from? I'm not @ᔕᖺᘎᕊ if that's what you ask :D
 
Thanks for the suggestion! It doesn't seem right for me, but I hope it helps someone else in the future! :) — ᔕᖺᘎᕊ Nov 18 at 22:19
 
oh
lol
 
I just saw that comment
 
@ShadowWizard User is not blacklisted.
 
@ShadowWizard I assume @nicael is now testing if the check is just a client-side one.
 
oh, the link...
@Derpy lol, @nicael has been rusty as of late
Guess a suspension has such effect :/
How can we ping such a user, if he ever come to chat? ^
 
@Derpy testing what? Creating a borked tag? No. But of course, I'm testing something right now ;)
 
@152859 test; a user id ping does not work
 
1:02 PM
@rekire only a mod can do it, and with two @@

@ShadowWizard I was just trying it
 
If I had a diamond, this would have worked
@rekire yup, I know :)
 
I already read about it I just didn't know that syntax

@UNIKITTY2.0 only on SO and MSE
 
%CD%8F%CD%8F%CD%8F
 
on all other sites it's different
 
Because it's Chat.SE
 
yup, same user has one chat profile, but different account on each site

¬_¬
 
@Braiam dunno, but worth asking @Brian directly in his chat room
Think he's still pingable in there
 
@Braiam there is an hat for posting a question while in the Bermuda Triangle. It is called Tinfoil Hat.
They need the data to be able to award it.
 
@Derpy sorry, there's no such a hat :P
 
1:39 PM
funny, I live near it
 
That's what they want you to think @nicael
 
@Braiam And how you think I knew....
Nice troll attempt with that codepen link. It is a pity the policeman firefox extensions blocks unknown requests by default.
 
I've visited the questions: this and this
It is said that "Joel is convinced that open-sourcing Stack Overflow"
 
1:50 PM
@SmokeDetector try not being reported by smokey?
 
This is why you shouldn't spend time polishing turds. — Al E. 7 mins ago
So true ^
 
@Pandya the second one is asking for ponies. We should add a few.
 
So, I think Joel is this right?
 
@Pandya yup, and he's still in charge
 
yeah
 
1:53 PM
open-sourcing stackoverflow means migrating to open-source technology instead of current right?
 
@Pandya migrating only the code, not servers. But yeah.
This won't happen though.
 
btw, If yes, then I want to know the current progress about this; Is there any blog/news page about it's process what is done, what is planned, what is next...... etc.
 
@ShadowWizard you mean it will not open-sourced?
 
@rekire Still need the Odinson hat?
 
2:02 PM
@Pandya no. there were never any plans to.
 
@Pandya No, you can open-source the code base while still using closed source technologies. What you're asking is using an open-source technology stack and that seems highly unlikely as they would have to re-implement major parts of the system without a clear business case.
and what @hichris123 said ...
 
... and what @rene said...
 
@hichris123 then "convinced that open-sourcing Stack Overflow" has no future right?
 
it never had a past.

Q: Reset username for user

UNIKITTY 2.0So I found this user. His needs nuking. Can a mod do that?

Furthermore, that 3 rep user can upvote (on meta)!
 
@UNIKITTY2.0 I'm not clear what user you're talking about? Anyone with the association bonus can post / upvote on any meta.
 
I'm kidding :P
That was posted long ago
 
Ahh ok
 
Also, the unikitty should be a giveaway

Something along those lines

2:43 PM
cool
Starry day. Weird, as a kid my parents told me we see stars only during night.
 
We already have 2+ screens on chat stars, 2 pins
 
@ShadowWizard It is not "random star". Correct name is "hat testing"
 
Updates mac first
 
@ShadowWizard calm down Van Gogh
There's a Van Gogh archer quote as well, but it would surely get me suspended in this room lol
 
@SterlingArcher What?
 
2:48 PM
lol
 
When you hear it you'll know lol
 
now I need to wait 20 minutes
mac updating
 
Great! My Sufganyot and A New Hope hats are consistent. I have them on the same number of sites.
(34 sites each.)
 
Archer is pretty funny
Please state your question in the form of a question.
 
2:57 PM
Community can vote? scifi.stackexchange.com/users/-1/community?tab=topactivity has got a hat for voting.
 
Is "state" wrong?
"state your question" gives a lot of hits on google, so I'm guessing it's passable.
 
@b_jonas Community can inherit votes, for example see: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/245189/…
 
@PeterJ Aha! Thanks.

@JasonC Post ignored; alerts about it will no longer be posted.
 
@SmokeDetector @ProgramFOX Looks like a minor bug in "why" responses with the extra [:4345010] in there.
 
@JasonC It's by-design. So you can confirm that it took action on the right message.
 
@ProgramFOX maybe make the number a link though?
 
Oh you and your craaaaaazy plans
Well, a link opens a tab; here you can press the reply button on the last SD message to see if the numbers match. Inconvenient either way but a bit less mouse movement and distraction with the latter, I guess.
 
3:32 PM
I've a userscript that shows IDs next to messages, so perhaps you could install something similar if you need it.
 
@ProgramFOX nah, just thought it would be "nice to have". :)
 
@ShadowWizard Problem is multi-line messages. :(

Q: Can I automatically run a command in webstorm after pushing to GitHub?

UNIKITTY 2.0Say I have a webstorm project. Every time I commit and push to github, I want WebStorm to run a certain command. I have searched on the internet on how to do this, but I can't figure it out. How can I do it? Or am I stuck with using webhooks?

 
I guess you could have smokey put the message ID in its messages, but it'd have to go back and edit each one to insert it.
@ProgramFOX Hey do you have a copy of that userscript somewhere I can snag?

@Jorgesys which hat?
 
I think Balpha coded a hat that he's about the only person who can get it...
3 nice answers to support questions. That's my theory.
 
they wouldn't do that
 
For flying tiger, FYI.
Well, they won't have a SO staff only one, but they might set criteria that few people outside of SO staff would accomplish.
Balpha does a lot of support questions. I'm convinced flying tiger must be something in 3, and likely related to support. It would make sense.
 
6:55 PM
well yes
but then prevent nearly another other user from getting it
 
Maybe it's a nice answer in 3/4 of the default meta categories?
It has to be something he's doing that not that many other people do. And that's a bit tricky...
Of course, he knows what the requirement is, and might have just earned it to show it was there.
 
well if he earns it as routine tasks acquire it then it's probably not for showing off
 
It might be that it's close to routine for him, but is still something he's done differently... Perhaps taking a look at a change in his activity profile for the last few days?
He has been more active on MSE than he was earlier in the month...
 
well yeah MSE is more active now thanks to Winterbash
 
True. But his activity is as high for the last 4 days as it was for the previous 3 months combined...
