2:00 PM
@GraceNote It's from Master LL's thingy. I can't update the source unfortunately
 
@SaintWacko Me too. Especially with Tasker, it's future fucking cool.
 
@BenBrocka I know, I recognize the formatting.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Because ... I dunno, kittens are more awesome anyway.
 
@SaintWacko Do they have proper metal ones?
 
@OrigamiRobot Standard fitting
 
2:00 PM
@fredley What do you do with Tasker and your Pebble?
@OrigamiRobot It'll fit and 22mm watch band
 
@fredley That's the one @FEichinger just linked. =P
 
I stopped using that back in chapter 4, though, and have just been guided by my intuition and an incredibly overpowered spear (or, well, now, a pair of overpowered swords, one beam and one traditional)
 
@FEichinger Negative. Dogs > Cats.
 
@SaintWacko When I've got my pebble paired, it silences all notifications on phone.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz dogs smell
 
2:01 PM
@fredley That doesn't mean there are bands that will look nice with it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Accurate.
 
@fredley Oh, I just leave my phone silenced all the time
 
@kalina So do cats.
 
@OrigamiRobot You have the entire world of 22mm bands to choose from!
 
@SaintWacko I used to have on vibrate, now it's just completely silent.
 
2:01 PM
Oh god do cats stink.
 
Also, writing watchfaces is fun
 
I should get a new spear. I feel a bit bad that I absolutely haven't given Vert a new weapon since she very first joined my party.
 
@fredley Same here
 
@SaintWacko Too much work.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz dogs try and lick you
 
2:02 PM
@SaintWacko PeblleNotifier is a good app for pushing unsupported notifications too
 
@kalina So do cats.
 
@fredley I haven't tried that yet
@fredley Yeah, I've been using that since day one
 
@SaintWacko Surprisingly easy
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz dogs poke you with their cold wet nose
 
@fredley It looked like it from the videos
Also, cats are best
 
2:02 PM
@kalina Cats poke you with their razor sharp claws.
 
@kalina Cats poke you with their whiskers.
 
@OrigamiRobot dogs bark at people passing your house
 
@Fluttershy Not if they like you
 
@Fluttershy well then, cats and I share something in common
 
Cats > Dogs. End of Discussion.
9
 
2:03 PM
@kalina Cats run rampant through the house at 3am.
 
@OrigamiRobot But cats are quiet when they run. dogs aren't
 
Dogs > Cats. End of story.
2
 
Besides, cats are the official mascot of the internet
 
@OrigamiRobot dogs get too excited about anything
 
They're both dumb. GEEEEEEZ.
 
2:03 PM
@SaintWacko Hah! Haha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
OMGBALLBALLOMGOMGBALLTHROWITOMGOMGOMGFETCHINGTHEBALLFETCHINGTHEBALLTHROWITAGAINO‌​MGOMG
 
@GraceNote I assume "virtua forest" on the sheet is actually "virtua forest safe zone" then, or is there a second map?
 
@SaintWacko Yeah. A few mindfucks getting set up, but it only took me half an hour from sdk download to first app install
 
@OrigamiRobot Quiet*er*
 
@BenBrocka Hidden Dungeon.
 
2:04 PM
I LOVE CATS AND DOGS EQUALLY THEY ARE BOTH ADORABLE

pokes markup
 
36 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot
@SaintWacko Hah! Haha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
@GraceNote In Hyperdimension?
 
I dislike all animals
 
@BenBrocka Yes.
 
2:04 PM
Cats win by popular vote. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
@kalina You dislike everything :P
 
@kalina hates everything. Including animals.
 
animals and I just don't get on
 
K, Don't think I've sent many scouts there yet
 
they sense my devious nature
 
2:05 PM
I'm hiding from the main story for now
 
@kalina Who doesn't?
 
Cats > Dogs
 
@SaintWacko humans don't sense my deviant nature, they have to be informed
 
@BenBrocka Fair action to take. Go kill Trick Crown then.
 
@kalina Well, I think it's pretty clear
What the hell, markup?
 
2:06 PM
@SaintWacko only because I set fire to things
 
Oh, there it goes
 
@SaintWacko
bah, meta-tag doesn't work
IT'S BROKEN
CALL THE CHAT POLICE
 
@GraceNote I will, and possibly the annoying gahahgchocobo thing too
 
@kalina It works for me!
 
2:07 PM
it's not red
 
@kalina MSO chat only
 
meta-tag should be red!
 
Just like insert coin doesn't work outside of Arqade chat
insert coin
 
insert cake
 
2:08 PM
@kalina Incorrect, chat is not your mouth
2
 
:(
 
insert coin
2
:O
 
insert coin
 

 Coin Slot

A place to play the cool Arqadian/Arqanoidian murder asteroid ...
 
@fredley but I wish I could summon cake just by typing it
 
2:10 PM
@kalina Sadly there is no chat interface for food
 
TOO MANY STAAAAAARS
7
 
Y'know, I had always wondered how you got to the "insert coin" think I kept hearing about
 
@FEichinger you're too new to make that call
 
It broke my chat, though
 
2:11 PM
@FEichinger Pin
 
too many stars is when every line on the screen has been starred
 
@kalina Still not enough
You can never have too many stars
 
I'm bored
 
@kalina Star things
 
And now I'm force refreshing to unbreak chat
@kalina burn things
 
2:12 PM
@fredley I DON'T WANNA
@SaintWacko I DON'T WANNA
I DON'T WANNA.
 
Oh dear, kalina is regressing
 
@kalina gasp Oh, no! There's something horribly wrong with @kalina!
 
@kalina Freeze things?
 
I guess I will go and troll Quakenet for a bit
 
SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BURN THINGS!
sobs
 
2:13 PM
batten down the chatches, kalina tantrum incoming
 
@kalina Popular vote agrees with me no less!
 
sets fire to @FEichinger
 
@kalina ♥
 
you can't heart me, you're on fire
 
@kalina Uh, here's some cake?
 
2:13 PM
miss a turn
 
@kalina Oh, good, she's back to her normal self
Crisis averted
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone mmm cake
when I am as old as @LessPop_MoreFizz and my metabolism starts slowing down I am going to get so fat so suddenly
 
@kalina I can heart you. And set you on fire as well! HahaH!
 
@FEichinger you merely adopted the fire, I was born in it... molded by it
 
2:15 PM
@kalina According to records, this is the second time you've been set on fire by @kalina. Welcome to the club!
 
@kalina could make a lot of jokes now ... avoids doing that
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I know, yeh. :D
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone -.-
@FEichinger -.-
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That also invalidates this.
@kalina ♥
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Is that thing automagic?
 
@kalina I don't actually have to be at work until 8:30 now, usually
 
2:18 PM
@fredley No, manual
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Aw
 
Well, maybe if @kalina would promise to stick to a standardized format when she sets people on fire...
I think there's an ISO fire setting specification she can read up on
 
I wrote the specification, it changes like my mood
ie: suddenly and without warning
 
@kalina There are underlying currents
 
Since I'm going away, if anyone's interested in taking over, here's the files you need: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1722364/Stack%20Overflow/…
 
2:22 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone There's ~a week left right?
 
I think it's getting too close to chat-meme status, it's probably time to let it die before it gets there
 
8 days according to my records
 
@badp you keep records?
 
@badp 9
@kalina Are you going to let it die... in a fire?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone well my widget says 8 days 7 hours and it clearly knows better than you do, pal.
 
2:23 PM
@badp you have a widget?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone no I was going to let the fire go out
 
@kalina I think this kind of joke has grown stale now
 
@badp it wasn't a joke
 
user15026
Morning, Bridge.
 
@AshleyNunn 'ning
 
Afternoon, Ash.
 
Thanks for digging that up, I haven't restored my wall of clocks since my flashings
 
wow he has multiple widgets
seriously though, why would anybody want to be that organised
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Enlistment?
 
@fbueckert Mandatory military service. Nine weeks of Basic Military Training
 
Ew.
 
user15026
2:27 PM
@yijiang :(
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nine weeks sounds rather useless, might as well get rid of it entirely
 
@MadScientist There's also 1 year 10 months of service
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Try and get a 9-week chat ban, just because you can
 
@fredley I'm not sure how badly I'll have to misbehave for that to happen
 
2:29 PM
@fredley Would make for a nice countdown, at least. :P
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone 2 years is pretty long, it was only 9 months in Germany when they finally removed it entirely
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Post zalgo
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone go into math and call them a bunch of names, say their site is useless, and start a bridge vs math war
2
 
@MadScientist So glad the US does'nt have it anymore. I mean you still sign up but no one gets called
 
@kalina Just go into Math and keep saying Pi == 3 until they ban you
5
 
2:30 PM
@fredley Ṡ̘͕̖̬̘̎̔̐ū̢̜̯͍̖͆ͮ̃s͙̖̜̻͚̗ͨ͢p̦̮̣̙͔͍̀ͪ͌͂ͣ͆ͣë́̒ͭ́n̢͉͓̰͎d̨̲̩͓ͬ̃̃̅͆ͬͬ ̙͙̼̮ͬ̂ͥ̔͑m̶̪͈͎ͥ͐ͧe̵͓̺̯̬̟͋͋̈́̄̇̈́,̨͚̣͎̦̩͇ ̺͖̥̗͎ͧ͛͡p̜͔̜̪͚̈ļ̦̬̉z̸
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You'll have to misbehave very precisely
 
@fredley Pi > 3
 
@fredley $Pi= 3; //Now it's canon, bitches
 
I seem to be missing the fonts required for zalgo.
 
pi <3
@Fluttershy Me too
 
2:31 PM
tell them pi is a form of cake
that will get them
 
Pi < 3 in a sufficently fucked up surface!!!!!!1111one
 
I had some delicious strawberry pi last night
 
1 Kings 7:23
> And he [Hiram on behalf of King Solomon] made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
Therefore Pi = 3
 
most users in math chat have the user script that enables MathJax in chat, that would probably allow all kinds of chat-breaking stuff
 
@MadScientist thanks for the tip
 
2:32 PM
@MadScientist Oooooh, sweet.
 
@MadScientist yeah, some people only use it to go all $$\huge\text{SPAM}$$
 
const PI = 3.14; // This makes it easy to update the code in case the value of pi ever changes
 
It's the same chatroom where they ask you to not onebox questions
 
@badp ...why?
 
@badp oh, another nice tip
 
2:33 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Because physics are subject to change.
 
@badp As a Mod, can you add Math Lazers to their chat rooms?
 
@fredley I can.
 
I think I saw that in a programming textbook before
 
@badp That would be amazing
 
@badp Do it
 
2:33 PM
Of course I won't
 
@badp Aaaaw. Just say @YiJiang'sEvilClone made you do it
 
Would be a bit mean, they might not have any mods left to reverse it
 
What kind of mod abuse is it if any shoddy owner can undo it
 
@MadScientist Oh, ouch. Well, they are halfway there already
 
Say @GrumpyLazers made you do it
 
2:34 PM
@badp Make @YiJiang'sEvilClone owner of Math chat room
 
@fredley It's still announced in chat to the whole world
 
Using extrapolation I'd say they have one week before all their mods leave
 
"badp mod abused your feed list"
 
@badp if you're mod abusing, might as well remove all owners from the room
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Are they quitting? I wasn't aware
 
2:35 PM
@badp So make @YiJiang'sEvilClone owner and let him do it
 
@badp rename yourself to jspolsky before doing it
2
 
@fredley "badp mod abused the owner list"
 
@Fluttershy I think it's more an issue of how your browser handles it. Chrome handles zalgo fine in some places but not in chat
 
@kalina You of all people should just shut up about this ;)
 
45 secs ago, by badp
"badp mod abused your feed list"
 
2:35 PM
@kalina Math hates Jeff more, I don't think they know Joel

Q: Change of moderators - I resign as well

Eric NaslundAs mentioned in Zev's post, an election will be coming up for Math Stack Exchange, so I will take the opportunity to resign as well. The answers on the main site can be fascinating and enlightening, and I have always enjoyed this aspect of Math Stack Exchange. Some very strong people post excel...

 
@badp I was just pointing out the most ridiculous thing, because then you won't do it but I still get stars. I do not condone mod abuse at all
 
They have 4 mods left. 4.

Q: How do developing sequels work? When's a good time to develop one?

galacticninjaI recently got an option to develop sequels: When's a good time to develop a sequel? What are the advantages and disadvantages of developing a sequel to a previous game? What factors should I consider when choosing a previous game to develop a sequel of?

 
2:36 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I like the part where he put the numbers in dollar signs
 
I should apply to be a Math mod
 
@badp They all seem to like to do that, for some reason.
 
@fredley Geez
 
I mean, if I want my numbers to be in a different font I'd just do this - 4.
 
@SaintWacko Yeah! I had no idea their community was falling apart
 
2:37 PM
On that note, soon we'll need a [resignation] tag. :-( — Asaf Karagila 23 hours ago
 
@kalina Just saw that
 
@badp Numbers? Better use Mathjax
 
How are they losing so many mods?
 
Arrested Development Season 4 Preview
@fbueckert Because it's Math.
 
2:39 PM
@fbueckert I suppose there are strong personalities in that site
 
@fredley meta.math.stackexchange.com/… - Filter for questions.
@BenBrocka Auto converting user script?
 
@fbueckert Math sees a lot of drama, sometimes over the smallest things
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Remember enter-in-comments?
 
what the hell, that site is such a mess
 
That was honestly ridiculous.
 
2:41 PM
should just shut it down, make them pay for their insolence
 
@badp Oh yes, that. *shakes head*
 
@badp Enter-in-comments was amazing.
I thought it was going to end in a bomb threat.
 
What's enter-in-comments?
 
I still think it would be worth having a "if you get 5 flags rejected, you get banned from flagging for X time" system on chat
 
@badp IIRC Meta.SO had that drama too
 
2:42 PM
@kalina meta it up
 
@RonanForman When SE updated so that you can submit a comment by hitting return
 
@BenBrocka as a spill from math.SE or?

Q: Threatening emails from Jeff Atwood

Robin ChapmanI just received the following threat in private email from Jeff Atwood. I have no intention of corresponding privately with Mr Atwood, so I reproduce his message here. Mr Atwood starts with a greeting "Hi Robin". His bogus familiarity is neither deserved nor welcome. He accuses me of leaving mu...

 
@fredley I would struggle to write something like that without pointing fingers I suspect, I will try
 
> Mr Atwood starts with a greeting "Hi Robin". His bogus familiarity is neither deserved nor welcome.
Jesus christ
"Hi!" "Hi? HI?! WHAT THE %$^$% IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN"
 
2:44 PM
@BenBrocka To whom it may concern: Dear sire!
 
Holy shit, I knew Math was bad, but I had no idea it was that bad
 
@BenBrocka Also, "HOW DARE HE USE MY FIRST NAME?!?!?!?!!!"
 
So glad I dropped out of my university Maths course...
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone if you look at the screenshots on that, Jeff was in the right
 
@kalina I would be amazed if he wasn't
 
2:46 PM
So they changed it so pressing enter posted, people leaving multi-line comments got confused, when asked to pay attention to what buttons they're pressing they take offence. That it?
 
@RonanForman Yes. Well worth exchanging 1000's of words about though. Or not.
 
@kalina Damn I did'nt know you could hook a typewriter up to the internet
 
@BenBrocka lol
 
@BenBrocka Line Feed
 
Why is he pressing enter mid-sentence anyway?
 
2:48 PM
I think it's
some sort of
mental disorder
 
@RonanForman Because he is a math professor and DON'T YOU QUESTION HIM HE IS A GENIUS BOW BEFORE HIS INTELLIGENCE DAMN IT.
 
@BenBrocka It's contagious!

Q: The unilateral removal of comments by Jeff Atwood

Akhil MathewInitially, I was going to write this as a response to this discussion. It seems, however, a larger issue, which I think merits a separate thread, perhaps a sequel to this one. For people who have not read the threads, the context is that two comments of Pete L. Clark on the thread about sponsored...

 
@GraceNote any easy place to farm the best/good Lily Rank chips? I should reaaaallly start using those ASAP. But I only have one
 
Wow
 
Perhaps if I
write all my chat
comments on new
lines I will
get a letter from Jeff
Atwood too
 
.
Punctuation is important too!
 
> If anyone reading this message by any chance happens to be concerned about referring to people by their proper titles, I might recommend "Dr. Clark" or "Professor Clark" as more respectful.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh wow.
 
Mr Sir Doctor Professor Dr Clark
 
2:53 PM
@Fluttershy NEW SCENE.
 
@BenBrocka In Germany, they actually do this
 
@fredley Actually do this, or actually can do this?
 
@BenBrocka Easy? No.
 
Math has had three mods resign in two days.

Q: Could a method of preventing flag spam on chat be implemented?

kalinaI was wondering if there could be an addition of some kind of system on chat that would prevent a user from flagging for X amount of time in the instance that their last Y flags in Z time had been invalidated by the community. At times it seems that some users do not understand the meaning of "...

hmm?
 
2:54 PM
@BenBrocka Off-hand, I believe Em Es Magma Cave has Harem as a hidden treasure, but I don't remember which room it is.
 
@fredley I got a message from Jeff Atwood one time, but for some strange reason he used the name "Time Warner Cable Billing Department" and used code phrases like "Your bill is overdue." I didn't get it.
3
 
@RonanForman Actually do this.
 
@RonanForman It's normal to refer to someone who has multiple titles with all of them in a formal setting
 
@GraceNote What's "Em Es" magma gave anyway?
 
@fredley And formal setting == math.SE now?
 
2:54 PM
hidden treasure = blue cubes, right?
 
@RonanForman Seemingly so
 
@BenBrocka ...oi.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz In other news, I'm Doctor badp to y'all.
(What? In Italy a BSc is enough to get the Dr title.)
 
@fredley I know. I hate that about the language/culture. Hate formalities/titles
 
Em Es Magma Cave (or, MS Magma Cave) is a Leanbox hidden dungeon and is of a danger level high enough to kick my level-capped behind to the curb if I'm not careful.
 
2:55 PM
(which is ironic given the Sir in my youtube name)
 
user15026
@lesspop if Canada has to wait longer than the Us does for this I will be a sad me.
 
@BenBrocka Blue is normal treasure. Hidden treasures are the ones you scan for, that respawn when you revisit the dungeon.
 
@GraceNote oh, yeah I have absolutely no hidden dungeons in Leanbox this playthrough
 
Dammit! I've missed my chance to get you all to refer to me as Master Forman.
 
@BenBrocka You should... fix that.
 
2:57 PM
@GraceNote Leanbox is next on my "scout all to hell" list
 
@BenBrocka Do that after you kill Trick Crown.
 
@RonanForman How young (or old?) do you have to be for that to happen?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's generally for children, I'm a mister now.
 
@GraceNote Fine fine. But I want those lilly rank thingies because the lily rank crap sounds like the grindiest grind that ever ground
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Although if I had a servant, they would refer to me as master.
