Seth

@Braiam You can use something like xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1 to test xev without having xorg in the way, but when I try that xterm isn't focused so I can't type anything :-/

@Braiam you edited and didn't correct gigabyte? sorry i'm getting more disappointed by the minute. ;)

Braiam

12:10 AM

@hbdgaf removing the support has priority :P

hbdgaf

it's the are you hand editing or scripting it out thing. i think you would have caught it with a hand edit.

Braiam

I remember seeing this is not possible anymore somewhere askubuntu.com/q/277329/169736

@hbdgaf ^ ;)

FEichinger

@Braiam Judging from the resolution, it's a low-tier display that would need a better graphics driver for OpenGL.

@Braiam yep

FEichinger

askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/223695 <-- I'd reject it, too.

Seth

Why?

The old excerpt didn't follow the guidelines.

Braiam

12:18 AM

I'm particularly biased against the existence of the tag in first place anyways

hbdgaf

rejected as not helpful. it's fischer being a dick about closed question stripping out all content about the release and placing a "you're going to get closed" banner instead of doing something useful

Seth

@hbdgaf You're reject reason is wrong..

FEichinger

@hbdgaf Not ... really, no.

It's about this meta Q

Seth

The wiki guidelines say the excerpt should tell you how and where to use the tag.

FEichinger

@Fischer After your edit, the excerpt no longer tells the user what the tag is about. The existing excerpt also - as Braiam noted in his reject reason - already included the information that this version is EOL. Perhaps that should be more prominent, and more directly tell the user this question is off-topic, though. :) — FEichinger 40 secs ago

hbdgaf

12:19 AM

that's your opinion... i have mine. and it's fine that we disagree. that's what voting systems are for, and why i'm not a mod and don't want to be.

@FEichinger that's fair.

Braiam

can we delete this crap askubuntu.com/q/414668/169736

hbdgaf

@Braiam sounds a lot like my xmbc isn't working and i'm pissed... i'll ask on AU.

FEichinger

> Codenamed "Oneiric Ocelot", this version was released on Oct 13, 2011 and is no longer supported since May 9, 2013. Questions about unsupported versions are likely to be closed as off-topic. You should only use this tag if your question is specific to this version.

^-- This would work better, I suppose.

(Not suggesting it, in case anyone else has an idea what to do about this. I mean, it does need a clearer off-topic warning in the excerpt than it has right now.)

Braiam

@FEichinger the last bit might be extra

hbdgaf

@FEichinger that's fine... altough since it's OT out of the box, it should probably be "this tag was used for questions that were related to ocelot, if you find yourself using it now, you're probably doing it wrong" on the end instead of as a complete overwrite

FEichinger

12:26 AM

@Braiam Well, we can drop the last sentence, I suppose.

@hbdgaf Yeh, I can't think of a way of phrasing that that works in a tag wiki excerpt.

(That said, case in point about my "they won't read it anyway": installation is still the #2 tag (with another 63 added this week alone), despite having an allcaps "DO NOT USE THIS TAG" warning.)

Seth

@hbdgaf Why did you nominate yourself if you don't want to be a moderator?

I hear about disown command , can i know the benefit of using it . How this command help me as a user and the syntax to use it ?

err?

Braiam

@Seth meh...

hbdgaf

@Seth certainly leaving out verbs doesn't make yourself sound like you're speaking english...

anyway, if anyone thinks i should pull my hat from the ring for any reason, say so. i will. it's just an option i put on the table.

Braiam

I'm evaluating what he meant with "How this command help me as a user and the syntax to use it?"

since it depends greatly what kind of user you are... (I for example don't close the terminal, hence I don't use it as much)

hbdgaf

@Braiam that's where he left out the verb

How can or how will, not how this.

FEichinger

Oh, great ... Tag wiki edit suggestions have a cooldown ... that resets every time you trip it.

... and is a whole 30s long.

hbdgaf

12:43 AM

nice poke @FEichinger

and there you have it.

Braiam

oh well, lets look at the good side, we can't complain that we didn't get from where to pick

hbdgaf

it's fine. i'ld vote braiam and seth first which takes my two votes. i wouldn't vote for myself anyway. it's just something to put in the mix that is a known quantity for a known reason. it's simpler that way.

@ThomasW. I noted that you were my first vote anyway... so it's a moot point if you're here for that discussion. I was more expressing that there is no criticism of current company in my statements.

Thomas W.

1:00 AM

maybe i'm super tired, but maybe I'm missing the context?

oh

hbdgaf

yes, that.

Thomas W.

/me yawns and returns to debugging nginx

hbdgaf

i don't honestly expect to recieve any votes, but it's out there. glad you get it.

Thomas W.

honestly, i'm glad all of us more veteran users are running

because when i applied all that was there were newbies

and people who think it's just a big stick that they can hit people with without any real knowledge of what moderatordom is

it increases my competition, but increases the chance I actually vote for someone.

Braiam

btw @ThomasW., you lost part of the fun meta.stackoverflow.com/a/221442/213575

Thomas W.

1:03 AM

heh

@Braiam glad I missed that and instead dealt with the 100 people emailing me saying "Update the nginx ppa"

which I finally did.

so now I can tell them to stop emailing me :P

hbdgaf

well, i'm going to neglect to comment on that. i am going to say, i don't want to be a mod. i think i expressed that. i also think i expressed that it's just another set of buttons and mod makes you expected to use them. i pointed out that i would use them when it was convenient, but that i would not necessarily use them as often as i would prefer others did.

Thomas W.

my goal over other goals is to try and be present when our other moderators aren't around

we have that issue quite often here

where we have lag hours where mods are needed but are absent

hbdgaf

fair.

Thomas W.

so we either have to poke the CMs (case in point the spam and such)

or rough it

hbdgaf

and fair.

Thomas W.

1:05 AM

which makes the community look bad, in a sense

because without at least one mod around, it makes the community look uncontrolled

that's my take on it anyways

I don't know what you people think about @hbdgaf post, but I like the honesty :D

Seth

@hbdgaf That comment on your nomination lol. It's a valid question, but strange.

@FEichinger Around?

/me's got a JS question

FEichinger

Yeh.

Seth

So forEach, when I'm forEaching through something, is there a way to reference the location the loop is at?

For example, if I used for i I could use i later.

'course you could just tell me to not use forEach since I heard it was deprecated..

FEichinger

2:37 AM

Example case?

Seth

  mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
    console.log(mutation.type);
  });

I want to use something like this next:

for(var j=0; j<mutations[i].addedNodes.length; ++j) {

FEichinger

@Seth The callback can take the index as a parameter

Braiam

personally I would use an if statement if there's something you don't want to iterate over

Seth

maybe I'm just tired.

Braiam

if (condition == true) {break;}

Seth

2:39 AM

erh.. I'm looping though an array.

@FEichinger As in thisArg?

Braiam

why not using the for loop?

FEichinger

@Seth forEach(function(element, index, array) {...})

Seth

@Braiam I prefer forEach personally. I'm still working everything out though.

FEichinger

See the example section on the MDN article.

Lucio

@Seth you will get the idea: paste.ubuntu.com/6946707

Seth

2:41 AM

@FEichinger ahh.

Braiam

breaking a loop

FEichinger

@Lucio Doesn't work.

Lucio

Ideas always works :)

FEichinger

In JavaScript, foreach takes a callback, which - for scoping reasons - shouldn't be able to access that global variable.

hbdgaf

i had a C instructor look at me like i was gargling peanut butter b/c i used foreach in pseudocode

FEichinger

2:42 AM

(Because technically in JavaScript, functions are variables, and that shit would get messy otherwise.)

Seth

hmm

Lucio

@FEichinger oh serious? that sucks

I need to try it..

FEichinger

JavaScript sucks, yes.

Seth

So just a simple:

  mutations.forEach(function(mutation, i) {

?

FEichinger

Should do the trick.

Seth

2:44 AM

So i becomes the index?

FEichinger

Yep.

Seth

@FEichinger Cool.

That was... over simple.

FEichinger

This is why you people need to learn to read the documentation.

It's all explained perfectly well in the documentation.

hbdgaf

"Nobody knows" is actually in the man pages...

Seth

I'm really bad at understanding documentation.

Not to mention I read the wrong doc page for forEach.

but yeh.

Braiam

2:45 AM

@Seth don't tell me you read w3school?

Seth

@Braiam no, but sometimes I do. People need to get over that fact.

Lucio

@FEichinger Hey you've lied to me, it works!

FEichinger

@Lucio I said it shouldn't work.

It can cause a huge mess, if you use a referenced function instead of an anonymous one.

Lucio

Whatever, js is still creepy when talking about scope.

Deal with it.

FEichinger

3:01 AM

@Lucio jsfiddle.net/tT6Sc/1

That's why that's a stupid idea.

And will mess up a lot.

This is how it can be fixed: jsfiddle.net/tT6Sc/2

And this is how it looks if you stick to referenced functions instead of anonymous ones, but still reset value. Messy and bound to cause problems with maintenance: jsfiddle.net/tT6Sc/3

Long story short: You really don't want to use global variables for that.

Seth

5:05 AM

@AmithKK Seems good enough for a start. Try to discuss the different types of broken links, 404, 500 errors, etc. They each need different handling.

FEichinger

The questions on SO that I could properly answer are about PHP, JS, and HTML.

JS questions are usually jQuery or node.js, so fuck that.

HTML questions are mostly CSS3 and HTML5 nonsense, so fuck that.

And PHP is PHP, so fuck that.

Braiam

You should fuck SO too :P

> Don't worry, you're not supposed to be able to read the text on that; just look at the shape. The single largest block of questions in the queue right now is attached to the php tag, amounting to about 10% of the entire queue.

okey..

FEichinger

The thing with PHP is that there are so many people out there who have some sort of knowledge of it.

WordPress devs are the worst.

Add on top of that that PHP is inherently a bad language, and you're bound to get idiots asking crap questions on a daily basis.
