@orlp Though that may be an entirely SFW subreddit, that subreddit name isn't. We probably don't need that in the transcript.

Anonymous

The innuendo is absolutely not appropriate for SE chat

Apparently the entirety of Ask Ubuntu is coming here to see what happened. Nothing to see here, move along.

Kaz Wolfe

@Mego But we like being nosy!

Zacharee1

yeah!

Thomas Ward

12:13 AM

@Mego lots of us are 10k+. And a lot of flags tend to catch mod attentions sometimes

Kaz Wolfe

Sorry boys (and goats), this is Ask Ubuntu General Chat #2 now. Move along.

Thomas Ward

lets err on the side of caution, and not post links that are possibly not SFW, even in name.

Geobits

I can't see deleted chat messages :(

Zacharee1

@Mego it tends to happen that way when a flag notifies every 10k user/chat mod online

Kaz Wolfe

@Geobits Reddit link to a subreddit where girls are holding large cats.

But it's absolutely unnecessary to join the room to deal with a flag. If you need more context than the actual message (which you didn't on that flag), you can simply open the transcript. Joining the room draws more attention to the flag, which is the opposite of what we want.

Kaz Wolfe

You can probably guess why the flag happened.

Geobits

@KazWolfe Not even a clue >_>

<_<

Kaz Wolfe

Noted.

that's why.

Thomas Ward

@Geobits happy to bother you privately and share data. drifts to the shadows and lurks

Geobits

12:18 AM

Oh, the eye cuts were supposed to indicate I wasn't being entirely truthful. Maybe they do things differently in Ubuntu Land.

Zacharee1

@Mego I thought we wanted attention towards flags, and if I join the transcript the flag disappears, if I judge the flag, then I can only see the single message in the transcript by somehow keeping the 0-flag dialog opening and viewing the history. Joining's just easier

Anonymous

@KazWolfe It's really not necessary to discuss the contents of a flagged-and-deleted message. In fact, it's best that such messages aren't discussed.

Thomas Ward

let's all move on :)

Zacharee1

@Geobits I always use them as a more emphatic O_O

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 We want attention on flags when they are raised. After they're dealt with, chat should return to normal. A large influx of people "investigating" the flag hampers that.

Geobits

12:20 AM

Speaking of which, welcome to PPCG! Now, to become a contributing member of the site instead of a chat lurker, you know what to do ;)

Ask Ubuntu are probably all going to use sed/awk/bash/zsh/fish

Kaz Wolfe

@ASCII-only no we use bash a bit

Anonymous

Requirements for being an upstanding member of our community: 1) Golf code obsessively. 2) Have a strange fixation towards cats and/or goats. 3) Make puns whenever possible.

Geobits

Hey, I can beat bash answers every now and then :P

Zacharee1

@Mego well like I said, I can either get context or review the flag, not both. No idea why. I choose context because of curiosity and ability to reflag

Kaz Wolfe

12:21 AM

and ruby/python

Thomas Ward

@ASCII-only Some of us Python :)

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 There's a link in the flag dialog to view the message in the context of the transcript.

Zacharee1

@Mego Gotta call in @Serg for the puns

Kaz Wolfe

@ASCII-only You're mostly right.

Zacharee1

@Mego yeah but then the flag dialog disappears and I can't call it back

Anonymous

12:22 AM

@Zacharee1 Right-click and open the transcript in a new tab. If the dialog disappears, that means the flag has been handled, and you don't have to concern yourself with it anymore.

Zacharee1

But if I join the room I can flag and maybe stop an annoying overzealous flag war, like we've had (twice) in the Physics room

Anonymous

@ThomasWard You'll fit in nicely :)

Zacharee1

@Mego It always happens, even if I do it right away.

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 That's because flags tend to get handled quickly.

Geobits

Personally, if I wait even the length of time it takes to open either the transcript or the room to get context, the flag has already been handled (95% of the time) and the whole thing was just wasted effort.

Zacharee1

12:23 AM

@Mego within a second, a shorter time than it takes to read the message?

Geobits

So unless it's something seriously obviously bad (or multiple flags back-to-back), I tend to not bother anymore.

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 It doesn't take long for people to read blatantly-offensive messages and click "valid"

Zacharee1

@Geobits My experience is the opposite. Like I said, in the Physics room, there is a tendency to flag for fun, so that needs to be stopped a lot

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 That's the exception, not the rule

Zacharee1

@Mego I'm just not able to believe that it takes less than a second

Geobits

12:24 AM

That's easy to stop. Start banning flaggers ;)

Zacharee1

@Mego Strange how the exception has been the rule for me :D

Geobits

@Zacharee1 It's possible not everybody sees it at the exact same time.

Zacharee1

That's true, but why would it roll out?

Anonymous

I think you're placing too much emphasis on your role as a single 10k+ user. If the flag gets handled, who cares if it was you or someone else?

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 Lag.

Zacharee1

12:26 AM

Good netz here

@Mego curiosity does :p

Anonymous

Just because the server sends out the flag to everyone at the same time doesn't mean everyone receives it at the same time

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 Then be curious in a non-disruptive way (aka reading the transcript).

Geobits

Yeah, but all it takes is for a couple people (I forget the exact number) to click "valid" or "invalid" without opening the link at all. They have the jump on anyone who cares enough to actually look into it.

Zacharee1

How is joining the room disruptive?

Geobits

Well, what are we talking about now? :P

Zacharee1

12:27 AM

Chatting is disruptive, which I did do here.

Zacharee1

@Mego I explained why I can't do that. How does joining the room call attention to the flag? For all anyone knows (until chatting starts) people are just joining a room someone linked elsewhere, etc

Anonymous

Had you (and the rest of the Ubuntu people) not joined the room, we would've already moved past the flag.

Anonymous

It's extremely obvious that, when a group of 10k+ users and/or mods join a room, it's because of a chat flag.

Geobits

Well, I sat down after the flag happened. If it weren't for the new faces and starboard message over there, I might not have noticed it was there at all. Now I'm talking about flags for no reason >_>

Zacharee1

12:30 AM

@Mego you were the one who got caught up in us joining because of the flag. Had you not said anything, we might have kept the old discussion going or started a new one. By objecting, you started this whole discussion. Yes, none of it would have occurred if we hadn't joined, but it's still not fair to object to us joining, even if we are here to check out the flag. I was planning on staying a while, maybe joining in chat. Instead, I feel unwelcome and am rather unlikely to return

Geobits

But I'm done with that now. Gonna watch the kid play Ni No Kuni instead :D

DJMcMayhem

Oh geez, should I come back later?

Zacharee1

@DJMcMayhem probably :p

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 Yes, because this is totally not in reference to the flagged message

Anonymous

If you want to stay and chat with us, feel free. If you're only going to come in here because of a flag, that's not so good.

Zacharee1

12:34 AM

@Mego @Mego I readily admitted to that earlier. However, I would have most likely just continued on, either leaving or joining in the conversation. However, your complaint put everyone who joined on the spot, with an implied accusation that we were here for literally nothing else except to spy on you.

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 My complaint was that a bunch of people joining after a chat flag is raised draws attention to that flag (which it does), when that's the opposite of how chat flags are supposed to work.

Zacharee1

@Mego No, I don't want to stay anymore, because of your hostility. Maybe I came in here because of the flag, but if you hadn't said anything about how terrible it is for people to join the room because of a flag (I still don't see the reasoning there), I would have joined in. Now, we've gone to a whole other discussion.

@Mego Objecting to people joining attracts much more attention. And chat flags draw the attention of literally every 10k/mod online

Thomas Ward

@Mego That's.... not the new language name, is it?

 dmitry@DmitryE6410: ~ % git gud
 git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

@Geobits Congratulations, you just guaranteed no new language features for an entire year.

@Dennis Thanks. It's no longer painfully slow

@Mego No skin off my blue skull.

@Mego That's how you type Actually? I copy-paste commands from my copy of commands.txt as I figure out my answer

Zacharee1

@DmitryKudriavtsev There's actually a git plugin for that...

Sherlock9

Your way is so much simpler

@Sherlock9 Oh, I do that, too.

Once I make a custom code page with actual mnemonics, using CPK will be much easier

Sherlock9

What sort of mnemonics? And what's CPK?

Geobits

Johnny. Code Page Keyboard

@Sherlock9 Mnemonics meaning the symbols used will actually correspong to the commands

Rather than random box-drawing characters everywhere

@Mego you know what would be fun? listen for a keystroke (say, :) then listen for the two strokes following, then interpret those as a hex number, then write it

Zacharee1

So I ran git gud through PuTTY on Windows to my Ubuntu server. It crashed Windows...

@Geobits Thanks :D

@ConorO'Brien You'd have trouble with having to type the hex for : itself all the time. Like the backslash avalanche

Conor O'Brien

@Sherlock9 why? I mean something like :34 for 0x34

ohhh

nvm

-bash: sudo: command not found

How do you use "escape" in V?

Conor O'Brien

Proper User Policy apparently means Simon Says.

Zacharee1

@ConorO'Brien oh that thing

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

That doesn't really help

Zacharee1

1:50 AM

but real pros just use sudo !!

DJMcMayhem

@DmitryKudriavtsev A literal escape character 0x1B

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

In TIO?

DJMcMayhem

Yeah.... I realize it's not very user-friendly

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

So as I understand it, V is Vim?

DJMcMayhem

With additional mappings and features, yes

Q: Print some JSON

This challenge is straightforward, but hopefully, there are plenty of avenues you can approach it: You need to print out a valid JSON object of at least 15 characters, not counting unessential whitespace. In the interest of clarity, a JSON object starts and ends with curly braces {}, and contai...
