@fredley read ALL the things!

You can't Javascript under pressure

@fredley HAve a look at the bottom off the page, footer got fudged, probalby not an accident.

It's fudged on all pages though :(

@Arperum Been fudged for yars

10:38 AM

@fredley That was very enjoyable.

@fredley Been a while since I last looked.

@fredley I'm not that good with javascript, but I think that this site is trolling me

Yepp, the site was trolling me

11:01 AM

@5pike yes the site trolls you

8 minutes 21 seconds :(

Meh... I'm no good with js...

Q: What are the recipes in the Secret Lab?

The lab notes give you hints on how to make potions. What are the actual recipes? Here are the notes: For health, split MMX in two to find your quantities. Chlorine will give you your ingredients, but remember to keep it sweet. For strength, stand in front of a mirror while...

Q: How do you take off body armor in GTA Online?

It's kind of hard to shop for clothes with a big bullet proof vest on. Is there a way to take off the armor after missions, or at least hide it?

@fredley Wasn't kalina supposed to ask the first one?

@5pike She declined

I should make a game like that

STATUS: COMPLETE

@fredley 26 minutes, 13 seconds for all 5 levels. Well done!

@3ventic Not bad

Today I learned how to do basic javascript

11:50 AM

@fredley Six and a half, though I did cheat by using the browser console as a scratchpad

5 minutes for the first 4, 20 for the last one

@3ventic Javascript is fun! Games can be made quite easily with it!

@PrivatePansy Haha

@PrivatePansy I couldn't remember the string functions so gave up at 3

I forgot the typeof of Arrays

@PrivatePansy Me too

@fredley I thought length on unicode strings returned the data length and that was causing me to fail one of the tests at 3, but it turned out I was just always returning the last item from the array >.>

11:51 AM

@fredley I just used a regex to extract the thing

@fredley I would like to note that the comment over this was so true

StrixVaria

@fredley This is what I did too.

May 2 at 16:28, by StrixVaria

@ORIGAMI YOU ARE THE WORST

Uuh by 3 I mean the one that require you to return the longest string in an array

for(var i = string.length; i >= 0; i--){
  if (string[i] == '.'){
    return string.splice(?!);
  }
}
return '';

Filth

11:52 AM

Y U NO REGEX?

@fredley if ( i.indexOf('.') >= 0 ) return i.substr( i.lastIndexOf('.')+1 ); else return false;

@Blem eh?

@PrivatePansy Because Regex?

@PrivatePansy because he wants to only have 1 problem

@KevinvanderVelden Ahahahaha

or...
var x = i.split('.');
if(x.length == 0) return false; else return x[x.length-1];

11:53 AM

@KevinvanderVelden I can't remember all those lastIndexOf type functions, so just BRUTE FORCE

@3ventic This is good

I GOT 99 PROBLEMS BUT A REGEX AIN'T ONE

if (i.match(/\..*/)) return /\.(.*)/.exec(i)[1]

@fredley pff, at least it's not the problem of "Is it strpos or strrpos? Or maybe strirpos?"

And no I'm not talking about PHP :|

PHP is great

@PrivatePansy That looks like an ant crawled across my phone keyboard while on the punctuation layout.

@fredley No, the other way around. PHP went so deep into awful, it's now great again ... Well, if you can catch up.

difference?

"hello world" in python

hello world

11:55 AM

@3ventic Or, you know, just hello world, since PHP just outputs anything that's not in <?php ?> brackets

If you can't catch up, you're stuck in the depths of awful with it.

@fredley That's generally the idea, yes, to make your code as unreadable as possible

@OrigamiRobot we are bringing back old truths

@FEichinger Making games should be punishable.

Bugreports work nicely for that.

@Arperum But it's such a kissy-wissy cuddly-wuddly lil' tree!

Q: What are the most profitable train routes in OpenTTD

@Arperum Very much so.

What are the most profitable train routes in OpenTDD in early and mid-game? In other words, what kinds of businesses should I link to get most money? What's the best (most lucrative) locomotive for the route? What is the approximate profit that I should expect with the route? When should I abando...

Q: What's the most efficient way to replace old locomotives in OpenTTD

I have a bunch of trains transporting coal back and forth and I wanted to know what's the most effective way to replace a locomotive when it expires. Right now I tell it to stop at the depot, sell it, buy the new one, and tell it to go again (by telling it to stop at the depot for maintenance if...

12:07 PM

@Lazers Not every sentence in a question should be a question itself.

@FEichinger The title has no question mark.

@Arperum Uh huh. sigh

@Lazers Isn't that thing rather broad? I'm thinking to vote for close as too broad.

It feels like "I want the guide for the best option for half of the game."

Ummmm errrrrrr uhhhhhhh CREEPY.

Q: Ni No Kuni Bounty Hunt 130

What is my best plan of attack here? I have been running in circles healing Swaine and Esther while throwing Frostbite at the main enemy. I seem to run out of mana or get killed too soon for this to work though. The only tip I found online was use Medals of Impunity. Any other help?

So... Google just enabled the grid navigation thingadongdong for me

@GraceNote Oh, was that my cue? ´\î/`

That would've been a good cue, yeah.

I have my own personal cue. It's pretty fancy.

12:36 PM

@fredley Ummm.... this isn't true?

Hmmmm, something's wrong.

What do you guys see on gaming.stackexchange.com/questions?page=5&sort=votes ?

With 50 posts per page I'm seeing a pretty strange mix of questions

...oh not that again.

You forgot to feed the server hamsters again?

It's not quite the same as before, though. Could you post on our Meta about it?

MSO or Arqade Meta?

12:43 PM

Either or. You are comfortable enough with MSO that I don't mind letting you choose.

Q: Sort by vote is broken (again)

There seems to be a history for this bug meta.stackoverflow.com/search?q=sort+by+vote+[bug]

I'm not sure how this relates to previous bug reports, but since Grace Note asked me to I'm posting this. Sort by votes is broken on Arqade. On page 5 for instance I see this: The last post on page 4 has a score of 0, while the first post on page 5 has a score of 47. I'm using a page size of ...

tombull89

Anyone bought Transport Tycoon for Android or iOS yet?

@tombull89 buying

tombull89

@5pike Let me know what you think.

@tombull89 Haven't bought it. I'd watch some reviews before buying it, because the free version, OpenTTD, is also on android.

12:57 PM

The OpenTTD port isn't optimised for touch though. You have to do some work yourself to get it working, and even then the interface is still pretty painful to use

The performance is surprisingly good though, as is the stability

tombull89

@5pike Yes, it's not really meant for mobile, though.

@LessPop_MoreFizz BBC says it's true so it is

I am so ready for weekend!

@fredley havent seen any links to this today, are you slacking?

@Blem I'm biding

@Blem He was waiting for you to do it. Because lazy.

1:07 PM

wat (10k only)

@fredley Link?

@fredley Because I can verify from actual experience in the past 48 hours that this is not true.

It's not even one per border post.

@LessPop_MoreFizz bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24357415, see no. 1

It's the maintenance of the physical border markers, and it's usually only an 8 man job anyway

@Sterno Level 7 here. The moas are huge jerks.

@PrivatePansy Yeah, that's a misleading bit of text if ever I read it

@LessPop_MoreFizz You're a misleading bit of text

1:12 PM

@fredley Oh buuuuurrrrnnn.

You made @LessPop_MoreFizz look like a total fool.

@Wipqozn Haaaaaa

@fredley I mislead your mother last night, that's for sure.

@LessPop_MoreFizz With your text?

@fredley texts, sexts, all the same.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Misleading sexts sound worrisome.

@fbueckert Good morning.

@fbueckert Morning!

Ok, who's going crazy with the stars?

@fbueckert Everybody!

@fbueckert Absolutely everyone.

We're just happy to see you.

Happiness is best expressed with stars

@fbueckert I... I don't even want to try and understand the logic for this being starred.

@Blem Sword pocket looks painful

@RedRiderX Yeah, neither do I.

In other news, I'm off to buy Wind Waker HD.

@Wipqozn Woo!

@fredley Is that a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

I should pick that up, too.

1:23 PM

@PrivatePansy Can't you tell from the stars that I'm happy to see you?

However, that is also a sword in my pocket

@fbueckert I will never star this!

@OrigamiRobot I will never star you

@OrigamiRobot Logic! No one accused you of it, thereby giving no reason for defense. Ergo, the only need to make the claim is concern that someone assumes, which would only be the case because you knew you starred it!

Q: Why do Stack Exchange sites, particularly Stack Overflow, have chat rooms?

-18

Chat rooms are so inefficient- Stack Overflow has a ridiculous number of chat rooms. I'd create a simple forum/subforum category (chat rooms can become threads or subsubforums) structure, kill the current ones and transfer their content to individual threads (I assume some people want that st...

@fbueckert Chatting is overrated. You should try it.

@GraceNote On the contrary. I used @fbueckert's protest to shape today's flavor of my repeated assertions that morning are never good.

@Arperum Chatting is overrated. You should try asking questions or answering them instead

@OrigamiRobot It's more fun to assume the contrary to your contrary.

@PrivatePansy I might answer a question this evening. It annoyed me yesterday that the accepted answer is wrongish. I am planning on adding some complete overkill of an answer to it.
