5:00 PM
Because Danny McBride isn't in Archer.
 
Archer
Archer is terrible
 
@fredley Yes, but we are talking about Eastbound and Down. Keep up, man.
 
I was angry at it, because it made me think it would be funny, then it was terrible.
 
Now I know how to annoy @fredley. This is great.
 
Eastbound and Down also has Will Ferrell as a BMW Dealership owner whose favorite pass time is slapping people in the dick.
 
5:01 PM
@Sterno Exactly. That's not funny.
You guys have the worst sense of humour
 
What does a blue porkchop know of humor!
 
Archer is amusing at times. Mostly because I enjoy many things that have John Benjamin in them.
Also, anything involving Kreiger.
 
Americans' bar for funny is way too low
 
Yup, much funnier
 
@Batophobia quite

Q: How do I "freeze" the time in civ v?

emo boyI'd like to stay in the classical era because I want to fight a classic war, without guns and stuff but I don't know if it's possible to remain in the classical era and if it is possible, pleaasse tell me how

Q: Is this a bug or means something, if i see grass deep underground

Dmitrij AThis is about 60 blocks under ground, close to the bottom of the world, and there is no day light anythewhere or exit to the ground.

 
Lame
 
Went back to ClickerDefense, cheated my way into the mid 800 levels, nothing changes anymore. It's just a dot in the middle with a line to a smaller dot.
Progression bar still moves though
@fredley IT'S!
 
Dammit, now I have that fanfare in my head and I didn't even click the link.
 
best thing about being CEO of Stack Overflow? If I want to know what anybody's doing, I can just read Hacker News http://blog.serverfault.com/2015/03/05/how-we-upgrade-a-live-data-center/
 
5:08 PM
@fredley We're not talking about Two and a Half Men or Big Bang Theory or something here. Archer is hardly popular, so blaming a low bar for American humor doesn't really work. Most Americans don't find it all that funny either. Like you, they are wrong.
That's right, @fredley. You're just like most of America!
You might as well get yourself a cowboy hat and move to Texas.
 
Hi! I enjoy [PIECE OF CONTENT]. LYNCH HIM! HE ENJOYS [PIECE OF CONTENT]!
That is the internet.
 
@Sterno TAKE THAT BACK
OR I'LL REMOVE YOUR ROOM OWNERSHIP AGAIN
@MadMAxJr CULTURAL WAR BEST WAR
 
Oh it is worse than that. You're like DOUBLE America.
 
I'm honored to be a part of the time honored tradition of pointless ownership.
I hope my less-than-a-second period of administration of this chat room was fruitful.
 
5:11 PM
@MadMAxJr I just like making people's screen refresh
 
Now if you had a script to perpetually do that, you could keep someone in the loading screen forever.
 
It's like I have control over your computer in a small, but uncomfortable way
 
I'm pretty sure that would constitute actual mod abuse.
 
Don't give him ideas
 
@MadMAxJr Doing this would mean not being a mod for very much longer
 
5:11 PM
@DoubleAmerica is evil enough to do that
 
Worth becoming LIfehacks mod just to do this, though
 
So you build the script, but you put the red button under a glass case and two turnkey lock.

Q: Finding my home?

Annabella DavisOk so I've been playing on survival for awhile now. And I go wondering to look for needed materials and I get lost and can't find my house. This had happend to me twice now. Is there anyway to spawn where my house is?

 
Although there's clearly a sweepstake to be had here over how many times I could get his screen to refresh before receiving a site ban
 
5:12 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Please stop posting clickhole links. They are another thing that are Not Funny.
 
I just imagine the Family Feud red X buzzer noise every time he disapproves.
 
I was about to complain about clickhole, but now I can't because @fredley
 
@Sterno Anything that annoys you gives me pleasure
 
You can complain about complaining! This is Amer--.. Some of this is America!
 
@fredley has achieved @Frank status
 
5:13 PM
@fredley DANGER ZONE
 
@Sterno Phrasing.
 
@Batophobia Oh no!
I'm becoming..... Old!
 
Are we really not doing phrasing anymore?
 
@fredley Ouch.
 
You're not becoming old, the younger generations are just increasingly wrong.
 
5:14 PM
 
Also, apparently an offsite company wants a copy of one of our databases. Why a connection to our servers for troubleshooting isn't an option, I don't know.
 
Well, they can fuck up the real version of it
 
@Sterno They'd obviously only have access to a test copy.
 
@fredley Clickhole is very funny.
 
Honestly I'd rather give them a copy than have to worry about hosting it for them, troubleshooting their connection issues, etc

5:16 PM
Upgrade complete!

@LessPop_MoreFizz Your choice of words reminds me of the most offensive thing I see on television.
TBS commericals, where they say: "TBS. Very funny!"
 
@AshleyNunn WOOOOO.
 
This is the advertising equivalent of laughing at your own joke and then congratulating yourself on being so awesome.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a Buzzfeed parody, and once you've see one Buzzfeed parody, you've seen them all
 
@fredley It's a buzzed parody by the writers of the Onion who are very good at what they do.
 
5:18 PM
@AshleyNunn Congratulations on your advancements as a cyborg.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The Onion is funny, but for some reason Clickhole is not
 
Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic woman. @AshleyNunn will be that woman. Better than she was before. Better. Stronger. Faster.
 
@AshleyNunn Have the headaches stopped?
 
plays theme song
 
@AshleyNunn MUCH SUCCESS!
 
5:18 PM
@AshleyNunn v. 2.0.1.
 
@Frank I would imagine that even if they have, it is probably tough to tell through various meds that are still fading and skull scars and other cyborg upgrade leftovers
 
Whoops, that has bad context right now.
I'll post it later.
 
OH GOD I CAN'T READ DELETED MESSAGES ANYMORE
 
Better.
 
5:20 PM
@Sterno Welcome to my world. :(
 
@fredley That reason is your defective humor receptors.
 
DON'T NOBODY SAY THAT @UNIONHAWK DIDN'T DO NOTHING FOR THE PEOPLES
Once someone parses that like quadruple negative and figure out what I said, let me know
 
@Unionhawk On account of me not being "nobody", @UNIONHAWK DIDN'T DO NOTHING FOR THE PEOPLES.
 
Remember when @FAE used to come here? Those were good times.

5:21 PM
^ what I immediately thought of
 
Also: RIP @MarkTrapp
 
@AshleyNunn Beep boop
 
@TimStone I am putting things into an HashTable. I look into the HashTable with the eclipse debugger as I move along. At some point it has 8 elements in an array of 10 elements, an internal element count of 8 and a threshold of 8.
 
@Sterno I miss talking about what a bad man Frank Underwood is with @FAE. :(
 
Maybe if we say her name three times, we can summon her like Betelgeuse
 
5:24 PM
When I put a ninth element in, the internal element count exceeds the threshold and the element array is rebuilt. I then get for internal storage a list of 31 elements, of which six have a value.
 
@FAE @FAE @FAE
Did it work?
 
Three elements vanished in the resizing of the HashTable.
Attempting to access them gets me a null pointer exception.
 
 
This is Java.utils.HashTable, nothing custom
 
If you're actually using Hashtable instead of a HashMap/ConcurrentHashMap you're doing it wrong BTW, but.
 
5:27 PM
@TimStone yes that's what the codebase is using.
 
What hell are you in? :P
 
This is 100% reproducible
 
user image

With or without debuggers
I don't think this can possibly be a racing condition
 
Seven of Nunn
 
5:29 PM
@fredley Image good. Pun awful.
 
@badp That's not unexpected by the way, the values are Hashtable$Entry<A,B> right?
Some of them should have a next property that references the additional items
But obviously if you request such items and get a NPE I don't know
 
In case it helps the key names are O-SSTC O-XSTC O-XTIT O-CENT O-XENT O-CGRP O-XGRP O-CSOTGRP O-XSOTGRP O-CTITABI
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh come on
 
I shall science it
 
@fredley You have the most broken funny receptors I have ever seen. maybe you should be next on the cyborg upgrade wait list to have a new sense of humor implanted.
 
5:31 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz :(
 
@TimStone please, I have a metric shitton of enterprises software to restart in debug mode on my 4 GB ram i5
 
@Unionhawk The chances of that passing is extremely slim.
 
As in "please do"
If your version doesn't have this issue I'll blame the IBM WebSphere 8 + JavaSE 1.6 combination we're using anyway 😜
 
Dear congressman boehner: If you are in even partial support of this, then congratulations on losing my vote forever.
 
5:35 PM
Oh, it's Blackburn.
 
@Unionhawk Is that pronounced how I think it's pronounced?
 
No surprise there, she gets a shit ton of money from ISPs.
And defending the practice of blocking is laughable.
 
@fredley No
 
@Unionhawk :(
 
user15026
5:36 PM
@fredley awwww you made me a cyborg!
 
That's adorable
 
@tombull89 If I wasn't busy I'd gif this the most amazing lazer eyes
 
@Unionhawk You live in his district?
 
I do
 
@AshleyNunn Just updating the avatar to match reality.
 
5:36 PM
I'm registered in another though because reasons
 
@Unionhawk Plz to volunteer for his opponent.
 
It's official: Arqade has cyborg moderators
 
@fredley Plural? We have another one?
 
But I need to re-reregister back to this one for reasons
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz umm... Yeah... that should probably be just one.....
 
5:38 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Didn't you know? We get to have pluralis majestatis
Basically each of us counts for five at the very least
 
@badp I mean, I get seven values at the top level, but everything I put in there is still there.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's the thing, he runs unopposed most years, and the years he has an opponent he's got at least 60+%
 
Is it Pick On @Fredley day? If not, can it be?
 
@TimStone noted. Let's look into this further
 
Noting of course that I had to change the debugger view to view the item as an actual object instead of treating it specially as a "Map.Entry" otherwise it won't show the next field.
 
5:39 PM
@Sterno :(
 
@Unionhawk Just run as if you are an even crazier Republican
 
But I use Intellij, I don't know if Eclipse does that, and it doesn't explain your NPE
 
@Sterno I hereby decree it so.
Today Is Officially 'Pick On @fredley Day.'
11
Do your worst people.
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat room, wherein we meanwhile links, verb words and pick on @fredley. [-bubblegum] [-context] [-fun] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [--mandatory] [murder] [pedantry] [-unicode]
 
Man, @fredley is just so bad.
But...@Wipqozn is still worse.
 
5:41 PM
I'll just listen for any insults my daughter hurls at people today and redirect them all to @fredley

@Frank Sure, but we pick on him every day. Today is @fredley's day. Let's make it special, shall we?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm bad at picking on people in general, so, that's the extent of my meanness today.
 
@fredley CAUTION: REBECCA BLACK LINK (gfycat.com/InfatuatedHideousKitfox)
 
I ragret making that script so much
 
5:44 PM
Your own powers used against you
 
@fredley If you didn't, someone else would have.
 
Not really
 
@MBraedley I don't think they would have
 
This song makes me so happy.
I need to put it on a playlist with What Does The Fox Say and loop them for maximum enjoyment.
 
@Sterno Not Friday + Saturday. 0/10
 
@fredley That is pretty good.
I bet one second offset would be even better
 
@Sterno There is definitely better offsets. Give me a sec.
 
6:00 PM
Honestly, you guys have been riding Friday way too hard. You need to up your game.
 
That's like all the awfulness of Friday mixed with Kenny G
 
@fredley I honestly don't know why you made it. You post friday more than anyone. You should have known this would happen.
 
I don't think I'd ever prefer to take it down to Kentucky
 
6:03 PM
So much Friday
Need a Youtube Tripler
 
@Sterno I was just thinking that
 
I just opened 3 tabs of the doubler, a second apart
too much
Actually...
 
@Sterno Try this
 
Fun Youtube Game: Type in the name of a song, along with an inappropriate instrument and the word 'cover'.
 
So, like, "Friday, skin flute cover"?
 
6:06 PM
Challenge: find an instrument for which there is not a friday cover
 
Apparently, this database this guy has requested is something we have given him several times before.
 
@fredley Couldn't find anything with Kazoo
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I failed to find bassoon
I did find a bassoon cover of wrecking ball though, so there's that
 
@fredley You can also leave out the song name and just type, for example "French Horn Cover" and get all kinds of wackiness.
 
6:09 PM
... wut. There are at least three curators that do that, all having the same logo
 
@KevinvanderVelden Reason #5917 to ignore anything related to GamerGate
 
I recommend doing the same.
 
Ooh that's an option? :O
Doing so
 
6:11 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, gotta double back to the overview page for the 'community' (which has loads more fun stuff. :(

Q: When is the Civ:BE winter patch update supposed to be deployed?

Joshua Aslan SmithI'm excitedly looking forward to the next big update for Civilization:Beyond Earth, but I was wondering if they had announced or leaked the actual patch date anywhere. The official announcement doesn't list a date, nor does any the coverage on gaming news sites I read, but if anyone can point me ...

 
ok, I'm going to actually install steam to flag this
 
http://store.steampowered.com/curator/6859671-GamerGate-Recommends/
http://store.steampowered.com/curator/7343462-Gamers-Who-Reject-Censorship/

The three recommending GalCiv III
 
IT poll: what is your response when an outside party requests a copy of one of your databases?
 
@fredley Can just log in to steam from the website
 
6:13 PM
@Frank Now you tell me
 
@fredley Do you just give it to them?
 
@Frank eh?
 
@Frank It's a common occurrence here, we're trying to reduce it now cause it's easier for us. A lot of our customers have a replicated database so they can work offline (we sell software to festivals and such so doing it online in the middle of nowhere is usually not practical)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Do those databases have your production data in it?
 
@Frank Assuming I'm not worried about them having the data, sure.
 
6:15 PM
@Frank they are the production data of said customers
 
If I'm worried about it, they can go fuck themselves
 
@Sterno Thing is, I have no idea what's in the database.
 
That is, we have the hosted software and we also offer to install the replicated database and software on local servers there
 
We also tend to have scripts to create empty versions of our databases, and I would not hesitate at all to share with them an empty database that they can put their own test data in
@Frank It sounds like the answer to this is heavily dependent on your business model and the data contained in the DB
My "clients" are the same people asking me to build/maintain the DB, so if they want a copy, they can have one
 
Other than the automatic kneejerk reaction that handing out our data without safeguards sounds like a problem just waiting to happen.
 
6:16 PM
Yeah
 
@Sterno I don't know. I have no documentation. The requestee, however, is apparently the one that wrote the software in the first place.
 
If I was running a procurement site for multiple clients and used a shared database for their account details, then yeah, I probably wouldn't give a client a copy of the DB, because other client info is in there
 
We have one customer who wanted to be able to run queries on it, but most don't. I think that customer just signed a contract saying that we weren't responsible in any way for what he did
 
On the flip side, I'm given copies of databases all the time because my job is usually to extend it or import data into it
So they give me one, I develop against it, and then use the solution against the production version
 
How can I word something that giving data to third parties without oversight, regardless of who they are, goes contrary to all known security practices?
 
Just like that
 
I bet @MarkTrapp would have the answer.
 
I can't seem to articulate WHY it's such a bad idea, though.
I know it's bad, but I'm having trouble turning the why into something understandable by laymen.
 
I'm a third party, so would they turn it over to me?
 
Hackers look for the easiest way in, if you have the data in multiple places it is much easier for them to get access to it
 
6:28 PM
@Sterno If you made up a plausible enough cover story, they'd probably tell me to do so.
 
@Sterno RIP
 
@Sterno @MarkTrapp is best Trapp.

6:55 PM
I've been asked to provide a brief statement.
Hats.
 
HEY GUYS. WHO'S EXCITED FOR RollerCoaster Tycoon World™?
 
That is all.
 
because...that looks shit.
 
If mobile is any indication, roller coaster tycoon is ded
 
@tombull89 I dunno, I see stuff on fire. Hard to argue with that.
 
7:03 PM
"Stuff has caught fire. This is definitely a RollerCoaster Tycoon game, yup."
 
ThingsOnFire Tycoon
 
Do people occasionally get their legs chopped off by your roller coasters, and then you get sued? Because I don't know why I'd want a game that doesn't simulate reality.
 
@tombull89 I've liked every RCT game (except 4... we don't count that one) so this definitely is on my radar. as is Frontier's Coaster Park tycoon
 
@Sterno "Full Park Management: Oversee different aspects of running a park to satisfy your park attendees and maximize your sales." so...maybe?
 
@Sterno In order for someone to sue, they have to survive.
 
7:04 PM
I'd like the inverse of that. Six Flags needs to construct Mr.Bones Wild Ride.
 
@Rapitor 3 was tolerable. 4 didn't happen.
 
@Frank Relatives can sue.
 
@OrigamiRobot What, you'd go to a theme park without your relatives?!
 
You have to think of the well-being of every simulated family.
 
Aren't you selfish, hoarding all the fun for yourself!
 
7:06 PM
@Rapitor but...Frontier made RCT3?
 
They can't all fit on a roller coaster at the same time!
 
Our park agreement contract requires you to forego anything resembling a lawsuit and consent to mandatory binding arbitration instead.
"My family died on your coaster!" "As the legal arbitrator hired by the park, I believe the park is not liable." END.
 
@OrigamiRobot What sort of giant family do you have that they can't all fit onto a coaster?
 
@Frank She did
 
@tombull89 yes, they did. but I don't think they have the rights to the RCT name
 
7:08 PM
Of course, that means theme parks are essentially whitewashed population control centers.

Q: What are good games for Engineering Students?

BoredEngineerI am studying engineering and I am looking for a game that isn't as time-consuming as League of Legends, and can improve my reaction time, thinking skills, and maybe my knowledge or something. So what are your suggestions?

 
@Lazers RCT!
 
@Frank What kind of giant roller coasters do you go on?
 
@OrigamiRobot None, if I can help it. I don't like them.
@Sterno That sounds horrifying.
 
Roller coasters are not dangerous as long as the crew working them is doing their job.
 
7:10 PM
@Lazers KSP, Besiege
 
@Powerlord got 3K? When did that happen?
 
You must imagine they are bigger than they are.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm with @Frank on this one.. the coasters can usually fit a large group of people (like in the 20s depending on the coaster)
 
I have far more than 20 relatives.
 
@Unionhawk They're less dangerous than a car
 
7:13 PM
@Frank Yeah. I'm reading it and it's even more terrifying now that I'm a parent.
Pretty much I want to just put my kids in plastic bubbles
 
@Unionhawk having worked at a theme park... you mean maintainers. crew literally just pushes a button and laughs at people panicking at launch
 
@Sterno But you can't, because that doesn't prepare them for life.
 
@Sterno nope nope nope
 
@Rapitor all of operations, both maintenance and operators have to be doing things right. See: Double amputee allowed to ride that superman ride.
 
@Frank It prepares them perfectly if they spend their whole life in the bubble.

7:20 PM
oooo doh.
 
@Sterno Well, I guess that's them spending their whole lives in the bubble.

@Rapitor This is nice.
free download isn't working for me. =[
 
@GnomeSlice it uses soundcloud
 
nvm got it
@Rapitor Yeah I had to refresh it after linking though
 
@Rapitor do you like Drum & Bass?
 
@fredley plz change that to a link
 
yeah that gif is lagging the shit out of my pc/internet

Q: Duplicate items with different statistics in Destiny

Arti SchmidtI have recently bought Destiny, and I have noticed that I seem to acquire many duplicate items.

However, each of t...

 
Yeah, I don't have problems with these kind of gifs on Safari.
 
Silly @wip, crashing Bridge like that
 
Le sigh
 
@fredley it's funny because it made my computer go slow
 
There is a column in a table of our database that clearly refers to another table, yet we don't have a foreign key set up for it. That is really pissing my boss off (who is a database guy), because it means there's no referential integrity, so I can put any value I like into that column, but more than that, if I want to run a query with a join in it, it'll take the database way longer to return the result. He also doesn't like artificial keys, but that's a different story.
 
7:48 PM
@Yuuki The only kinds of gifs I have a problem with are gifs that are also gifvs
Someone with fancy powers can edit the link to be a gifv and it works fine
 
@GnomeSlice its hit or miss, but yeah most of the time. Feint and Xilent are my top
