@murgatroid99 firefox dosen't like it
 
I get it displaying in a [] box thingy
 
URL bar says box, text, search bar says banana, title of page says box
It's weird
...er, than normal
 
@murgatroid99 box for me too
 
And its actually easier to highlight your's so I dont click the link :D
 
@Unionhawk Oh, it's a banana. I was thinking it was a bird
 
12:00 AM
@murgatroid99 Fine for me
Displays the character with no issue. But I'm on FF ;)
 
D:
Your search - 🍌 - did not match any documents.
 
I'm not asking about the character displaying
 
Goggle doesnt know what a banana is! :(
 
@James Good thing Google does.
 
@James they do nothing, what did you expect?
 
12:02 AM
Duck Duck Go pull up the Banana Wikiepedia entry in the results :D
 
@GodEmperorDune Ummm. Bananas? :)
 
@Ktash ...
 
Winner :D
Also, just got my new HDD. I really should install it. But that sounds like a lot of work right now... :/
 
@AshleyNunn FYI: If you were interested in Chroma Squad, the full game unlocks for me today.

@Frank I can't remember
 
12:11 AM
Warning: It is totally and utterly campy.
@Yuuki @Rapitor @AshleyNunn @Wipqozn Thing I just learned: You can jam more than one item into your seed dryer. Probably the same for the other machines as well.
 
@Frank Indeed. You just can only just put in 30 items per stack.
 
@Frank Each processing thingie can run ~20 stacks.
I think it might differ depending on the machine.
 
WEll, I'm going to go hop into bed a with a good book.
I meant to leave an hour ago, but then internet.
 
I know @Rapitor has mentioned that you can wear certain accessories to gain effects (Stamina regeneration for one), you can also place certain decorations on your farm (and in your home) for effects as well.

Just played some awesome games of leathal league, but now I can't find the guy to add himj
there are a surprising number of Poopfeast420s on Steam.
164 what the fuck
 
Okay, I have tickets to watch Avengers 2 on Thursday night.
Yes, apparently my local theatre breaks street dates.
 
@Yuuki When it is supposed to be launching? I should start looking for a babysitter now.
 
@Lazers2.0 I suspect that user is underage, just based on the avatar
 
Ugh that I even need to think about babysitters.
 
@StrixVaria Friday
 
12:35 AM
@StrixVaria Midnight Thursday/Friday, probably
 
Might be able to pull off Sunday, although I imagine the theater would still be stupid crowded then.
I was disappointed they chose some supervillain I hadn't heard of instead of Thanos for the 2nd movie until I found out he was voiced by Alan Shore, and then I was sold.
 
@StrixVaria I bought my tickets yesterday.
 
@StrixVaria Thanos still needs time to collect the Infinity Stones
 
@Frank I don't like going to crowded movie theaters, so it might be more prudent to wait 2-3 weeks anyway.
 
@StrixVaria The best time is a Wednesday, early afternoon. There won't be anyone there.
 
12:38 AM
@Yuuki I think everyone is breaking this time around. Shows start here around 7pm on Thursday
 
@Frank I am back at work now :(
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, that's why it's empty. Everybody's working.
 
Alright, I'm going to be shutting down and swapping out HDD now. Hopefully I come back online relatively quickly :/
 
Gotta love my instructor. Homework directions: "use C++ equivalent of super. Not following this direction is -10 points".
C++ doesn't have an equivalent for super.
At least not as far as I recall.
 
@Yuuki yeah, I was just trying to find it, and it doesn't seem to exist
 
12:41 AM
@murgatroid99 It's because C++ does multiple inheritance, I think.
So which one would be called if you use super?
 
@Yuuki that sounds like it's probably the reason
But yeah, you just have to use the name of the superclass

Q: How to call a parent class function from derived class function?

IaCoderHow do I call the parent function from a derived class using C++? For example, I have a class called parent, and a class called child which is derived from parent. Within each class there is a print function. In the definition of the child's print function I would like to make a call to the par...

Q: C++ superclass constructor calling rules

levikWhat are the C++ rules for calling the superclass constructor from a subclass one?? For example I know in Java, you must do it as the first line of the subclass constructor (and if you don't an implicit call to a no-arg super constructor is assumed - giving you a compile error if that's missing).

 
Okay, that helps.
 
Those are the first hits for "c++ super constructor" and "c++ super method", respectively
 
I also like how there's a checklist for what your program needs with point deductions if they aren't checked and one of the things on the checklist is "are things on the checklist checked off properly? if not, -20".
 
@Yuuki sounds like a winning prof
 
12:46 AM
Ostensibly, if your program does do everything properly but you missed a checkbox somewhere, you'd still get -20.
Because the checklist is not checked off properly.
-_-
I thank the gods that it's usually the TAs doing the grading.

Q: What are the Little Ones?

Question MarksWhen you talk to the first Milfanito in the Shrine of Amana, she tells you that when they sing, the little ones dance, the little ones grant comfort to those who bear death and dark. She also tells you that she stopped singing because you approached her. From what I've seen, none of the creature...

 
user15026
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Wouldn't travel cover this?
 
@AshleyNunn I think it's also for questions border agents would ask, like "how do I use a backscatter x-ray device to look at someone's nekkid parts?"
 
user15026
12:57 AM
Okay then. Because SE is totally the place to ask those things :P
 
... Now I want to put that question up on the proposal.
Must... resist...
 
@Lazers2.0 omg I answered a question
 
Those RNG names.
 
@Yuuki i thought that was covered in papers please
 
1:12 AM
@AshleyNunn No, but the people who it is targeted towards are basically all government employees within a single organization who should be asking questions of their colleagues or superiors, and not government employees from some other foreign government about how they do it.
At least, as I read it.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeh, on my second read, I read it that way
 
Which is arguably even dumber than a dupe proposal.

Q: GameBoy Self-Link

Alexander MCan one link a GB with itself (shorting serial-in to serial-out)? Will it work? I've done some testing with Tetris myself, and I was able to get into 2-P menu with it. (you can't get in 'unlinked'). It then appeared to lock up, though...

Would this^^^ be on-topic for Gaming.SE? I can migrate it.
 
user15026
@NickAlexeev It doesn't really look like something that would work here - it requires the specialized knowledge of the shorting out stuff and whatever for someone to even begin to answer it, so it is unlikely it would be received all that well.
 
user15026
I know we have some "my console is broken" stuff, but this is more "I wanna know what happens when I experiment with a thing that most gamers will never even remotely touch"
 
@AshleyNunn That would also be my assessment.

It builds fine, the line apparently executes fine, but the value isn't being assigned to the month variable.

Q: Steam says no disc space but i have files on my computer

Regan JohnstonHow can i get steam to know that i have the files, Please help i really want to play Gta V. I don't have much space on my computer but it does fit.

 
@Yuuki well, stepping through the code time it is
 
The weird thing is that I'm debugging and stepping through the code: the parameter is passed down the method fine, it looks like the assignment works fine. It just doesn't keep when I step out of the above function.
 
Sounds like a scoping issue, I can take a look at it if you wanna send all of it?
 
@Yuuki It's definitely a scoping issue
which month variable does DateofBirth think it's dealing with? compare addresses.
 
I'm tempted to just send what I have. It builds fine and the name fields work fine.
And I have pretty good grades in pretty much every other graded work.
I just don't want to auto-fail. I missed one programming assignment at the beginning of the year and missing a second one means insta-0.
 
10:29 AM
Well, plenty of people wanting to help :)
 
I don't want to be so lazy, but I've been up all night and I have to go to work in two hours.
@KevinvanderVelden The annoying thing is that I agree that it's probably some stupid scoping issue that I wouldn't have to deal with if I was coding in Java or Python or C#.
 
Having to do a group by over more than half of your fields is no good.

@spadgy_OTA @DamienMcFerran ... Craneception!
Too late
 
@Yuuki so 'month' only exists within the function
 
No, it's a private field in DateOfBirth.
 
you'd need to pass it back out
 
fuck this, time to kick this code striaght in the balls.
 
10:33 AM
The function exists as a public setter.
 
@djsmiley2k nope, it's not declared anywhere in the listed code, it's in DateOfBirth somewhere otherwise it'd be a compile time error
 
And my internet is dead. F--k it, I'm not bothering anymore.

Q: Bought GTA V from Steam. I've Already downloaded torrent, Anyway to skip downloading again?

Jasmin ShahJust wanted to try if the Game is worthy of $40 and I found it extremely amazing! Anyway I could place already downloaded files into Steam folder? or else I'll have to wait for 3-4 days(or more) for the game to download.

 
@djsmiley2k If I get a zero, I still think I'm good (looking at my other grades). It's the auto-fail requirement that I'm worried about.
 
10:43 AM
@Lazers2.0 Mhhh... I'm going to say that this is not about illegal content anymore. True that he downloaded the game illegally first, but now he wants to know if he can use his already downloaded game files.
 
@Yuuki Again: If you send me what you've got I'll be happy to take a look. I have you on steam =p
 
Or am I wrong?
 
@KevinvanderVelden I don't think I have enough time to fix it. Maybe if I'm still interested in this after finals, we can look over it.
 
Also, I tried replicating it but this works fine: pastebin.com/55vpu8Vb
 
To all current/future CS instructors: please stick to one programming language per course.
Or allow your students to write in whatever language they feel comfortable with.
Don't try to pick two languages and fail to oscillate between them evenly.

I told my neighbor my problem (cuz we're bffs) and he told me he had a Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack.. I checked for the price of the latter and I can't afford them. Do I have to ...

What do people think?
@JDWhaler I'm sorry to hear that you've had bad experiences before, but don't be misled to believe that down votes are "hating" on your question. Yes, it's very easy to see it that way, but don't let that dishearten you. As a matter of fact the tooltip on the down vote says "this question is not useful". This merely means that the question is a valid one, it's just not useful here, because there are other places that already have the information readily available. This does not mean that the question is a bad one!Ben 3 mins ago
 
Well, I disagree with your statement that it's not a bad question, I consider useless questions to be bad as well =p
 
@Ben Well, it clearly lacks research effort.
 
Ben
@5pike yeah I did say that in the last comment I left

Well, good and bad are quite subjective.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I wonder who would want to buy a sinking ship...
 
Maybe they have some patents?
 
FYI: The name of the capital of every country is ''
'' AS capital
 
Seems legit

I'm trying to sanitize this query, while also splitting it in two separate queries.
It's costing a lot of my sanity.
I've also found a bug in it.
 
Ben
@Lazers2.0 I put purdy pictures in mine :3
 
... DO YOU EVEN FOREIGN KEY?
(the answer is obviously "no, because I hate you.")
 
Ben
set foreign_key_checks = 0
That is my favorite line ever
 
@Ben I lack a foreign key. I wish I had one.
 
@Ben You MONSTER :D

@Arperum I have foreign keys coming out my nose. I have foreign keys in tables I didn't even think had any relation to any other tables at all
@5pike I will admit... It looks like they're growing.... see... See?! SEEEEE?!?!?!?
 
And as an added bonus: having every table start with tblsomethingTablename was not enoguh, this table has a case of every column starting with a semi-shortened version of the tablename.
 
I love it when your framework rescues you
 
Ben
@Arperum Wow.
 
Had an oshit moment when I realised all the dates/times spat out by our server were in a different timezone, since the server is elsewhere
All I had to do was change the TZ setting for Django, and it magically works
yay for magic
 
@Ben ALso: no foreign keys where they absolutely have to be.
 
Ben
11:23 AM
alter table...
 
@Ben Can't risk that, live DB...
 
Shut everything down. It's only allowed back online when it's got foreign keys.
 
@fredley You convince my boss to do that.
I've gotten to the point where the next iteration of this whole website works with a test DB.
 
Half of this DB is probably unused, but I'm not sure if some legacy code somewhere still uses it.
 
11:26 AM
@Arperum and then discards everything
 
Ben
@5pike you are a little deviant aren't you
"And then BURN IT ALL because they didn't set any foreign keys!!"
 
@Ben I don't really know what that really means. Translating "deviant" also doesn't help.
 
Ben
Oh haha
where are you from?
 
Austria
 
Ben
Ohhh
@5pike A deviant is basically just someone who likes to cause chaos
 
11:31 AM
I see
Dict.cc translated it to ... pervert
 
Ben
Yeaaahhh...
"Sexual deviant" is a pervert
a deviant is basically someone who just likes mischief and chaos... someone who like to break the rules
Well now i feel awkward
Have a repost
 
11:53 AM
God FUCKING DAMNIT!!!!! I knew this shit would happen, I FUCKING KNEW IT!
Migrating websites never goes smoothly
Fucking never
 
Ben
I know I have nothing to do with it... But I still feel like I do somehow haha
What happened?
 
@Ben Well, the customer didn't mention that his website was built with coldfusion, which our servers don't support.
 
Ben
Ah
Yup
That'd do it
 
This'll be fun explaining, and also explaining that the work is done and they need to pay up
I really don't like this migrating stuff. Seems easy, but when 1 little thing goes wrong, it's lots and lots of arguing.
 
Ben
Got a job to re write a program from basic to c#
 
11:59 AM
Oh joy, just found a bug caused by wrongly entered data, that was then fixed, and the wrong data deleted, but something kept floating in the system because someone didn't use foreign keys when he should have.
