Did you see the Daniel Beck Starred thing? ... That sort of thing looks like it would be easy!... I had an idea for a similar USB thing ages ago - but, it would never have been as good as that! Just wanted a USB RGB light! They have taken it so far...
I know this may seem like an inane question but was there any reason why Twitter picked that number as the limit of characters per tweet?
In addition, in hashtagging on Twitter, it doesn't allow for special characters (/,.? and so on). Again, any reasoning behind this?
This is more for curiosi...
Title says it all, I find it incredibly distracting and it's frequently difficult to get them to go away once they've appeared.
Doubt if it's relevant, but I'm using Firefox on Windows.
@slhck Fun. If you're ever on Windows and you only need 10 minutes or less, Microsoft has a free Expression Screen Capture. I have the full version, and it's one of the fastest/smoothest video capture software I've used.
@iglvzx Something like that. Or how to remove an element of a website I don't like.
I mean, I don't particularly are where this goes, I just thought it'd be nice to have a go-to question.. unless we already have one. That's all I'm saying :)
@slhck Hmm... If we do that, we'd have to cover three things: Custom Stylesheets, Userscripts, Adblocking. I think I'll try to work on a blog post! I'm good at this stuff.
Does anyone want a cubby.com invite? I have 5 to give out and they net me 1GB extra space (cubby is a dropbox clone where you can choose to sync some folders only to devices and not the cloud, and so they don't consume cloud storage)
@iglvzx Done, you can delete your email if want. I do the same thing by the way, also helps me understand who is "flexible" with protecting my information
You can't cross the other player's line, so you end up taking a territory.
But I think I played one where you just draw lines.
I think the difference is that this version requires you to place dots and connect those dots, whereas the version I played allows you to draw lines anywhere.
TL;DR: Can we do something against comments of the "ask on $othersite" kind?

@slhck When a VTC for duplicate happens, a comment is automatically added to say that it is a possible duplicate. This avoids any further activity on the question. Perhaps something similar could be done for a VTC-off-topic-belongs-on
@slhck Yeah, it is low rep users that tend to do this, and so (I believe) don't see that close votes are present, so have no visibility that some action is happening until it happens. For dupes, they see it immediately.
@slhck Yeah, as it shouldn't - possible means possible :). So if an auto-comment is added, care should be taken to show that this is dependent on the vote.
@TomWijsman "My coworkers are the worst, because they cause corporate drama. Casual Friday don't mean that you should wear some pajamas. If I hear "think outside the box" one more time, I'm gonna cry, son. If I'm supposed to think that way, why is my office inside one!?" -- Smooth-E, "Office Memo"
Heh.. it's a web app for annotating historical maps. So a little special-interest. But we got some nice visualizations there, like 3D Google Earth overlays for 17th century maps and that kind of stuff
@soandos Is powershell logical? From what little I have seen of it, it seems to have a nice logical integrity (things behave the way you expect in different places)
I've not used Powershell that much so I can't really tell to what extent it's Idiomatic, but Idiomacy should come with trying to get the code to be more simple.
What was the reference to Apple? Anyway, looks good... no idea how it compares, but, earlier this year, I got a load of HP Micro Servers... £100 and they are awesome - very similar and very low power usage
@soandos I think it's because you didn't trigger the loop that you might've thought it didn't, but I can't find anything to support your thought and the above technet link should be correct wrt to leaving execution.
I saw a woman reading it on the train a few days ago whilst pretty much touching herself up... People around the carriage were trying not to laugh and stuff
First, create a separate user account for your brother. Now set a password on your own user account.
Then, whenever you leave your computer, click Start then Switch User. Leave the computer at the login screen. Your brother can log in and use the computer but he cannot access your running progra...
@soandos: Huh, don't understand the purpose of that return keyword anymore, why would it only jump out of it's current scope, that doesn't make much sense...
find "$music" -type f -name '*.mp3' | sort | while read -r file ; do
SIZE="$(mp3info -r m -p %r "$file")"
# Echo file and size, or do something based on it.
done
@soandos With the dot and space in front? Weird...
Starting with the link from Johannes' post, here is a simple function that uses GetDetailsOf to find all mp3 files in a directory with a minimum bitrate:
function Get-Mp3Files( [string]$directory = "$pwd", [int]$minimumBitrate = 32 ) {
$shellObject = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$...
He's got an interesting approach.
I think that we're thinking too much in the imperative way instead of the functional way...
