@Telkitty Mario's long lost other brother?

I wonder if area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/44577/… wouldve worked if there were a way to anonymous usernames and keep posts separate from real accounts.

I would loooove that site right about now, lol.

@JasonC speaking of which, santa does look like an older version of mario

Jason C

@Telkitty Thats what I'm sayin! The resemblance is uncanny. I think we're on to something here.

Plus I bet more houses have plumbing than have chimneys. He's gotta find another way in.

It'sa meeee, Sanntaaaa

50 shades of beauty & beast - a story about bowser & peach. It's like beauty & beast meets 50 shades of grey.

@Telkitty how bored are you?

user202362

not enough to cast closing votes yet

rene

Isn't it a great time to hike now? Assuming most people will stay at home with friends and family?

user202362

by myself, at 6:25pm when it's raining, great idea!

user202362

I have stuff to do ... but in the lazy mode

rene

@Telkitty you can rely on me for great idea's ...

user202362

@Telkitty yes, I came here because I needed to do the dishes ...

I wanted to do some walk & get some wagyu beef & wine on the way. But it has started raining about half an hour ago.

thunder ... if thunder strikes kitteh, will you get a crispy kitteh?

user202362

Just count the seconds between flash and thunder. If it is 1 second you might get hit, beyond that ... meh ...

user202362

@rene you are such a genius! I am currently working on 2 apps, and electricity supply exactly stopped twice. coincidence? I think not!

rene

blush

user202362

One of them, I am trying to solve the problem by communicating with support once a day. The other one I have not touched for 5 years and it uses extensive amount of libraries . Neither makes money for me.

user202362

But as a hoarder, I will keep maintaining whatever crap apps that I have made

iThinkOfSwitchingTo underscore_separated_names in JS, seems easier to read. What could go wrong?

@zaq Inconsistency with browsers' or other people's names.

Camel case is industry standard.

user315433

But maybe it's not such a good standard...

Yes, that's even better. Demand spaces in variable names.

Stack Overflow Is You

Jeff Atwood on November 25, 2008

I was surprised to find the following question on Stack Overflow:

ThiefMaster

JS's stdlib is 100% camelCase, I think that's reason enough to use it in your own code, too. For filenames I'd use snake_case though.

rene

5:12 PM

Is JS still a thing? I hoped that by now something better would have reached mainstream. Maybe next year ....

user315433

Apparently it is, but perhaps not for much longer...

Just wondering, if Jeff Atwood said that Jon Skeet Facts was pretty on-topic, could we do one for each moderator and for each person in the top 20?

Jeff Atwood left Stack Exchange in 2012.

user315433

SO's post-Jeff phase is more than half its total lifespan.

user315433

Kind of like realizing that someone's been dead for longer than you knew them. Not as depressing though.

user315433

5:43 PM

Jon Skeet fact: Jon Skeet will be getting Yearling badges for more than 4500 years, unless the logic of the badge is changed.

user315433

This is ignoring future reputation gains. One only needs 200 rep per year to keep getting Yearling, and he's getting that much in a day without even posting, so...

wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases throws 500, not a great advertisement for the OS.

The 2015 releases are past their end-of-life, btw.

@zaq I can see it fine.

user315433

Oh, the 17.04 is already named, Zesty Zapus. That's it for Ubuntu, no more letters left...

Humans have 18 teeth… for some time.

And then some of them have 18 again... or even fewer.
