4:01 AM

I've known an unfortunate number of people who fell into drugs. Some got clean but some also became homeless and some died. I'd happily put forth tax money to help more people get clean and stay off the streets.

atlassian-swag.mybrightsites.com/products/bitbucket_pint_glass

it's a shame they don't have bitbucket shot glasses to go with my jira lottery

(Granted, those groups aren't mutually exclusive. I also knew a guy whose life fell apart because of drugs and he became homeless but later he was able to get clean, get a job and an apartment, and start to get his life back together. Then he died of an asthma attack.)

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

That's really sad.

Sure is.

@Quill Nobody uses Bitbucket anyway. Even fewer people use that than GitLab.

@AlexA. Nobody seemingly but where I work

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

4:05 AM

Where do you work?

Probably because they offer free private repos and GitHub doesn't.

also Jira integrations

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ somewhere on earth

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Oh cool, Me too!

What are the odds?

Jira has their own flavour of SQL as well, apparently

assignee = currentUser() AND status in ("In Progress", "To Do", "Failed Code Review") order by updated DESC

@Downgoat I found another picture of you:

@Quill haha, nice

@orlp Brutal, looks like your message got flagged by enough people to get it auto-deleted. FWIW I thought it was both funny and poignant. I can also see why some could deem it offensive or constituting inappropriate discourse for chat.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

4:13 AM

@AlexA. How many people flagged it?

@AlexA. not only auto-deleted

I was immediately removed from the conversation by being muted to speak for 30 minutes

Yep, that's what happens. The post gets auto-deleted and the poster gets an automatic 30 minute suspension from chat.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

0_0 That sucks.

@orlp If it makes you feel better I marked the flag as invalid :/

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ I think there's a way for me to figure that out but I'm not sure how.

4:16 AM

haha, I just read the flag... nice joke @orlp

I would've marked it invalid too

^

it got flagged? I didn't see it...

@AlexA. chat.stackexchange.com/admin/recent-flags

> Page not found

;_;

@Doorknob Oh, thanks. What's "Meh"?

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

;_;

4:18 AM

@Downgoat Mod access only

@AlexA. I think that's when someone opens the flag dialog and does nothing

Hm

@AlexA. solution: ask SE to make Downgoat a mod

it was a cynical criticism of capitalism and a reluctance to help your fellow man and the hypocrisy it has with christianity, especially in the bible belt (which are usually the most conservative states) - but apparently that triggers people

4:20 AM

@Doorknob It got 2 flags, 2 counter flags, and 1 meh. How could it have been deleted with a suspension? One of the flags had to have come from a mod, right?

yeah

Okay, thanks

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Mod or 10K?

Mod

> Not using the mod room to discuss mod things

;-;

4:21 AM

Only moderators have binding chat flags

Hey @AlexA. you know that Quill guy? We should suspend him

:P

@Downgoat only goats that face up can run for mods

@Doorknob go for it, the real action happens on Chat.SO ;)

4 hours ago, by Alex A.

Who are you?

@Quill ;_;

Apparently I do not know that Quill guy

Doesn't mean we shouldn't suspend him

4:22 AM

that does limit the amount of people that could've flagged it, that does kinda destroy anonymity

@Quill Ah, yes, I've completely given up on chat.SO by now. :P

flagger right now

sweating

haha

anyone in any room in the chat.se network can flag in any room

and moderators anywhere on the network are mods everywhere in chat.se

Without having to join the room with the flag

@AlexA. tell me about it :P

I'm 10k+

4:23 AM

@orlp let's not play the blame game here... it only ends worse than the politics game

always get pestered with stupid flags from all over the place

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Really? I almost never see flags.

I had a bot that reported them in chat

you're not 10k+

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Yes I am.

4:24 AM

@orlp He is. It's network-wide.

your highest rep is 6k

@Quill Marvin isn't 10K+?

@Doorknob oh, I thought 10k+ on one site

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I thought so too.

sum(site.rep for site in all-sites-on-which-you-have-an-account-except-sites-on-which-you-have-<200-rep)

4:25 AM

Except sites where you have less than 200 rep.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

^

Otherwise people who signed up on every site would see flags.

are they mod elections every year on graduated sites?

No.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Don't you hate it when you hit enter in the middle of typing someth

4:26 AM

@Downgoat he ran on my account

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ ye

@Downgoat every two years and only if the mods say it's necessary or the CMs absolutely want it

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ I do that all the time when learning my new keyboard :P

@Quill There's no schedule.

@Doorknob :(

4:27 AM

I thought there was something along those lines in an old blog post.... must just be my imagination, perhaps

@Doorknob pls tell CM it's necessary for a certain goat to be mod :P

Upgoat would win the election though

@orlp Upgoat === Chatgoat && Upgoat === MarsUltor

which upgoat?

I don't know

I just know it would be an upgoat

brb becoming upgoat

4:32 AM

\o/ it's happening \o/

downgoat is finally rotating \o/

@Downgoat not mirroring?

:| same thing

you had my vote as a left-goat, but you won't have it as a right-goat

@Downgoat no it's not

okay, becoming left-goat

4:35 AM

you already are a left-goat

okay, becoming up-left-goat

yay!

Upward not forward

can someone upvote one of my posts so I can make upgoat?

@Downgoat huh

why

4:41 AM

so I can grab a screencap of the green notification and mask that on a goat

ok done

:D

@mod profile refresh pls

no, just be patient

;_; I am not patientgoat

I feel so weird being upgoat

just feels... wrong.

are they any rooms which tend to have lots of mods in them?

this one, actually

4:47 AM

;_; why does it say I have 14.7k rep

Don't you?

but it should be network wide

your profile is set to 3dprinting btw @Downgoat

no it isn't

I changed it to 3d printing and back to try to refresh it

5 mins ago, by Helka Homba

no, just be patient

4:48 AM

@AlexA. are you there?

4 mins ago, by Downgoat

;_; I am not patientgoat

Hm? Hello?

Haven't been paying attention to chat

good decision

Back to not paying attention...

@AlexA. wait, can I have profile refresh first pls

Sorry too late, already not paying attention

in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Exchange Chat, 4 mins ago, by Quill

if you're concerned about security, then you've probably got your tinfoil too tight

Tinfoil Tom sounds like a great username

@HelkaHomba i wayt fifteen minut an no upgot

I wonder if they'll every have coding bee's. Kids get up in front of a mic and are given a short program to code and they have to dictate it on the spot. (washingtonpost.com/local/…)

:29935384 are you paying attention now, again? :D

Nope

Whoosh, off I go

@HelkaHomba Dictating a program? Sounds painful.

5:01 AM

@AlexA. _;;

@Doorknob Indeed. But I bet most people here could do it for simple enough things

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@Downgoat If it makes you feel any better, If I was a mod I'd be ignoring you too.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ :(

that's rude and unfunny... just for that, you're not getting my vote

There's no guarantee that there will ever be another PPCG election.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Haha, I actually really want to. I thought about it this year, but I was at like 2K and not very active.

So I decided against it.

5:05 AM

@Quill :/ I was just joking...

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@AlexA. ??? What do you mean?

I thought they were annual.

user image

@AlexA. Supreme moderators for life, huh >_>

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ It depends on how much the community grows and how well the current moderators can handle the flag queue and other mod duties. Given the current moderator to things that require moderator attention ratio, I think we'll be all set for quite a while.

@Quill why do you have a ಠ_ಠ button

5:07 AM

@HelkaHomba Unless one of us resigns, at this point yeah kind of :P

@Downgoat it's part of Porkchat, it's a text shortcut button

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Maybe we can scare them off.

:P

40 mins ago, by Doorknob

@Quill There's no schedule.

@Quill oh, cool.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Eek! It's oddly-colored food! :P

5:08 AM

user image

uhhh

On the subject of elections, I'm actually kinda embarrassed about running for mod on Code Review

I had the right intentions and stuff, but compared to the contributions and care of the other candidates it just felt rude to try to put myself above them

Why?

@Quill It's about time you get a diamond somewhere, at any rate

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@Doorknob how is oddly colored food more terrifying than a freaking upside down goat?

@Quill I practically already consider you to be a moderator. :P

5:09 AM

@Quill CR elections are happening?? link?

I prefer blue things, like Minecraft faces and downvote buttons.

@Downgoat They did a while ago.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ I would not be upsidedown if I got a chat refresh ._.

Quite a while ago.

@AlexA. well imagine a bunch of 30k rep users with thousands of edits and years and years on the site, and then imagine fresh noobling Quill trying to join them

You shouldn't feel rude for feeling like you have the skills to do a good job.

5:10 AM

^

@Doorknob Thanks, but being a moderator is more than having experience and near omnipresence on SE

I'm pretty sure Doorknob knows that :P

@Quill It's democratic, not rude. Perhaps embarrassing for you though

You know, being an elected moderator and a pro-tem

@HelkaHomba I don't have an issue with other people being preferred over me, just feels rude to take a spot that could be filled with someone who's had so much more time and effort put in

5:12 AM

@Quill I wouldn't say you're lacking in the experience department and I doubt ever mod on SE has 'omnipresence' across the network.

@AlexA. If all 4 current mods are still active on PPCG ten years from now I promise to change my name back to Calvin's Hobbies

32

@HelkaHomba Deal

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

In ten years, I'll quote you on that.

@HelkaHomba why not do it now?

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Wow, that got stars fast.

5:13 AM

it's on the starboard so it's gotta happen

star wars!

@HelkaHomba you know it'll be ten years because that's when my chat profile will finally refresh :P

Oh right, I was going to be ignoring chat.

@Upgoat it's refreshed for me

:O really? still downgoat for me

@Downgoat Yea, sometimes you get lied to. Take it as a life lesson.

@Quill vote for what?

@Quill Wayside School ;)

@Quill lockers

@Downgoat it was a joke

@HelkaHomba Wayside school for Monkeys

@Quill oh, ok, I felt really bad about my joke being rude >_>

5:18 AM

@Downgoat apologies, goat of the down, have 5 internet points

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@Downgoat FWIW I was not offended, and the joke was directed at me.

Q: Convert ASCII box drawing into Unicode

I am shamelessly posting a request for something I would actually find useful. The task is to take an arbitrary ascii box drawing like this | +----+----+ | state A +---+ +---------+ | | +----v----+ | state B | +---------+ ... and turn it into so...

@Downgoat You still haven't updated...I think something is wrong

Program idea: generate a Pizzadenticon with a potentially unique base, base cheese, toppings and for extra points, the box underneath

Are you sure you applied the changes network wide?

@HelkaHomba I think so

I think it's something with the graduation userscript making it not work

@Quill That looks like CSS issues. My issue is, trying to click on the notifications/rep boxes or "show more comments" doesn't do anything about 75% of the time.

\o/ Finally upgoat

@Downgoat You forgot to change your username

@MarsUltor :/ it's changed on PPCG

5:46 AM

Also, started modifying the ES5 Jison grammar, changed number parsing

Should Cheddar support scientific notation? also bighumbers

@Downgoat Weird. You were automatically green but then I refreshed and now you're red again.

@MarsUltor BigNumbers will be a high-level class with overloads, so they don't need to have native syntax imo

@MarsUltor I totally forgot about scientific notation :|

O_o

@Downgoat Because I just added Cheddar syntax to JS scientific notation

@Downgoat But

puppies

Won't Cheddar have operator overloading?

5:48 AM

@MarsUltor yeah, it will

g'night all!

@Downgoat ???

D: no Python style support?

@Downgoat night

@Downgoat It's 8AM here

Where are you?

It's almost 11 PM here (Seattle, WA).

@Downgoat Huh, you got flipped, isn't the world upside diwn?

@MarsUltor nah, to inefficient

@Downgoat I know where you are, I was asking Bálint. ;)

5:51 AM

@Downgoat No it isnt :(

@Bálint Greece?

It's actually pretty fast

@Downgoat But if you don't mind no browser support I can write a native module for node

@AlexA. Hungary

@AlexA. SE mods get my address?!? :P

Oh neat!

Yes, it's one of the things all SE mods get when they're elected: your home address and social security number.

5:52 AM

@Bálint Daylight saving?

In case of emergency, an SE mod will assume your identity.

@MarsUltor sure, there's always browserify whiff works great

@Downgoat Also, how did you break multiline comments

@MarsUltor Yeah, it's GMT+2 because of tgat

@Downgoat I'm not sure browserify works with native modules

5:53 AM

@MarsUltor :| I swear I didn't touch anything

@Bálint My grandmother is part Hungarian and she has nice recipes, like palacsinta. :) I think randomra (if you know who he is) is also in Hungary.

@Downgoat Maybe I should use Emscripten then

@Downgoat told that to the cops, didn't work

@MarsUltor tried to use emscripten for a parser but I couldn't finger it out

Emscripten docs suck

@AlexA. No I don't know him

5:55 AM

@Downgoat Jison is more than fast enough

How might one go about detecting rotations of an exercise bike pedal using a rasberry pi + camera?

But we want BigNumbers as fast as possible

Oh yeah, @Fatalize, how are things going with the vegan ergonomics expert? Have you scared her off yet with your use of tabs, dislike of all food, and affinity for black metal?

@Bálint I don't mean in person, I mean if you know of the user.

@MarsUltor :/ idk

@MarsUltor maybe just pipe into bc

@Fatalize Oh, bummer. Sorry to hear that. :/

5:58 AM

Is that a question or are you telling me?

Why? I don't want to date someone if I know it's gonna fail in 2 weeks anyway

Hm, good point.

@Downgoat Does that work in the browser?

Ehh, those 2 weeks could be fun, though

@Fatalize In that case, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it was worth a try.

@HelkaHomba either painstaking image proccessing or just get an accelerometer for like $5 from Amazon, I've used this one: amazon.com/Kootek-MPU-6050-MPU6050-sensors-Accelerometer/dp/…

She's not interested in something less serious, which is in that case a bummer ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
