I smell a revolution coming on on SR.SE. Just like the one on NPR.SE (which went from Not Programming Related to being Programmers). In a few months, SR will become icanhassoftwareplzkthxbye.se

Seth

Is Manish bot running on Zirak's bot?

ManishEarth

12:05 AM

@Undo uh, the top link on the post

@Seth No, headless, Python

Click the SmokeDetector link, there is source code to be had

Seth

@ManishEarth ok.

Like FlackBot.

Undo

@ManishEarth ... And we delete all the non-icanhassoftwareplzkthxbye questions, right?

ManishEarth

yeah!

Seth

Right.

Undo

@hichris123 I feel productive again!

hichris123

12:06 AM

@Undo Yay!

ManishEarth

@Undo you can also try to answer a different software rec question. Maybe your own :p

hichris123

Or: stackoverflow.com/review/close

Undo

I think I'm going to fork @ManishEarth's AnnoTabe and to something to it to make it better.

ManishEarth

@Undo k, have fun :)

Note: I intend to add a checkbox for "Don't close this" (already added, really) that adds a prompt when you try to close it, and I've already written part of this

hichris123

Undo

12:09 AM

"Don't close this"? What's that do?

hichris123

@Undo ^^ Is Glass. :P

ManishEarth

@Undo adds an onbeforeunload handler

Undo

:D

@ManishEarth ah

@hichris123 :D because it looks cool, :( because it's not on my face.

hichris123

@Undo I'm wearing it right now... and WHY ARE YOU NOTIFIYING ME OF MY SHARED PHOTO 10 TIMES, Glass?

Undo

Do you think that I could write Google a nice letter and they would send me one?

hichris123

12:12 AM

@Undo For free? Doubtful. There's been some people who have gotten an invite to pay... but not for free that I know of.

Undo

:(

hichris123

Oh, Glass is getting an update from Android 4.0.4 (ICS) to Android 4.4 (Kit Kat) soon!

Undo

@ManishEarth You know something about chemistry, right?

ManishEarth

yeah

Undo

@ManishEarth Is PH4(+) any different than PH4(1+) ?

hichris123

12:23 AM

@Undo Misuse of code formatting. -1 brownie point. :P

ManishEarth

no

Undo

@ManishEarth Because my chemistry teacher seems to believe there is.

@hichris123 Nooooo my brownie points!

Seth

Wait, since when did (+) do something? PHP is weird..

Undo

@Seth rofl, this is chemistry :P

not programming

hichris123

:D

Well... is PHP == chemistry?

Seth

12:26 AM

@Undo Whoops. My lens was set to programming. PH4 came out to PHP4 xD

Undo

rofl

hichris123

@Seth What have you been coding recently? I'm scared for the users of that program... ;P

Seth

@hichris123 Luckily nothing.

hichris123

breathes sigh of relief

Seth

I hope I don't need glasses.

Undo

12:29 AM

I don't need glasses. I need Glass.

Seth

lol.

hichris123

I really should be doing homework right now... ;)

Seth

I've got some I need to get back to too.

Undo

> Thank you for reviewing 40 close votes today; come back in 23 hours to continue reviewing.

hichris123

@Undo Why couldn't you have held off until I was done with my homework?

Undo

12:35 AM

you should be faster at doing your homework.

I could suspend you for an hour. Would that help?

hichris123

@Undo In chat? Or on SR?

Undo

chat

hichris123

@Undo cough lazy cough :P

Undo

:P

hichris123

@Undo That would just make me work on my Android app. :P So... probably wouldn't help.

Undo

12:36 AM

Oh

hichris123

Okay; 10 down. Back to homework.

Undo

hichris123

lol

I feel like running my app right now and seeing if I get any strange LogCat errors...

Why can't I use Markdown in HTML? :P

Undo

12:59 AM

	function RenderComment(item)
	{
		var string = '<tr><td style="vertical-align:top" class="col-md-1"><div class="score"><h4 style="color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6); pull:right; text-align:right">';
		string = string + item["score"];
		string = string + '</h4></div></td><td class=""><div class="post col-md-9">';

		string = string + item["body"];
		string = string + ' - <a href="';
		string = string + item["link"];
		string = string + '">';

Am I doing something stupid in the code above?

hichris123

@Undo What's the problem?

Undo

nevermind, figured it out

hichris123

I find it funny that the site my teacher is using as a blog site allows us to put in <script>'s... so I could just make it alert("Hi!"); every 1 ms. :P

Undo

@hichris123 Blaze works on comments now.

hichris123

@Undo Wow, really? I think you're going to blow through your API limit someday soon... :P

Undo

1:10 AM

hehe

probably

working on the timestamps now

hichris123

@Undo That was going to be my next feature-request. :P

cv-plz stackoverflow.com/questions/22186391/…

Undo

1:26 AM

@hichris123 Timestamps work on comments now :D

hichris123

> in a few seconds

@Undo ^ Uh... I don't think so. :P

Undo

uh-oh

:P

meh.

I bet your local computer's clock is a few seconds out of sync with SE's clock.

hichris123

@Undo Probably...

@Undo Still happens after syncing with time.nist.gov.

Undo

Then SE's servers are a little fast

Either way, it's not my fault :P

hichris123

@Undo spins Wheel of Blame

And... it's Shog's fault!

Undo

1:34 AM

is glad he's not on the wheel of blame

I think that thing is weighted toward Shog.

hichris123

@Undo You are on the new one. :P

Undo

Really?

Who did that? >:(

hichris123

Remember, the dynamic one that shows everyone in the Tavern?

Undo

oh, yeah

I wasn't in the Tavern >:D

Seth

@Undo The Wobuffet updated it so it shows everyone in the room now ;P

Regex: ^(?=.*[A-Z])[^a-z]*$

@Undo Did you get a swag email from Tim?

The Guy with The Hat

9:59 PM

@ManishEarth When I ran desktop GitHub thingy, it said I needed an update to the .NET framework for it to work correctly. The update needs window vista or higher, though, and I'm using using some ancient technology called "XP" or something. I'm also lazy, so I haven't bothered to figure out a workaround.

Meaning sorry, but no.

ManishEarth

@TheGuywithTheHat You can edit and pull request online, you know? :)

The edit button does that

but np

The Guy with The Hat

@ManishEarth No, I didn't know.

I'm lazy, remember? :)

ManishEarth

hah

I'll do it myself later then

The Guy with The Hat

Ah, I just figured out how to edit it.

There, done!

@hichris123 Eh? Why would I have gotten one?

But yes.

hichris123

@Undo SO mod election?

Undo

yeah

hichris123

confused Why did I get that too?

Undo

11:28 PM

Because you were in the election?

Yay! @hichris123 is getting swagz!

hichris123

@Undo Yeah... but not even the primary. I thought it was only people in the primary...

Undo

Used to be. They must be running a swag surplus this year.

But don't, like, refuse it :P

hichris123

... or the lord of the swag was confused.

Undo

A CM? Confused? Nevar!

hichris123

@Undo Well... I might refuse given the fact that the email had SITE instead of SO... :P

Seth

11:30 PM

I thought it was just for the election phase..

Undo

@hichris123 Same here :P

hichris123

@Seth What I meant... whatever. :P

Undo

Rest assured that Tim knows about it :P

Seth

@hichris123 oh ok.

hichris123

@Undo lol.

I'm assuming you pinged him in TL to complain about it.

Undo

Mmmpph

sublime>vim>emacs

hichris123

@Undo Not that again... :D

Seth

hichris123

sigh I just wanna find the API method in the decompiled app! Is that too hard to ask? :P

Undo

@hichris123 Which one?

/2.2/give-access-to-tl? That one?

hichris123

@Undo No, a different app. Instagram. :P (Glassware)

Undo

11:37 PM

oh

hichris123

Though I do like the method name... goes to check if it works

Undo

It puts your account in the delete queue.

hichris123

Well, I get the giant banner if it does...

Undo

not that delete queue.

The one that Community clears out every 50ms.

hichris123

Sure... :P

Is there any way to explore a private API method (i.e. find out what data you need to add with it in the POST)?

Undo

11:47 PM

Pound it with various things until it gives you what you want?

(and Wireshark helps, too)

ManishEarth

Why wireshark? Too noisy. Use Chrome's debugger.

hichris123

@Undo Would your mod hammer work? :P

Undo

@ManishEarth But it's a native app. Right @hichris123?

ManishEarth

oh that. yes.

hichris123

@Undo Erm... doesn't really matter.

Native app... but I have the decompiled code.

Undo

11:48 PM

@hichris123 If I let you touch my mod hammer, then SE takes it away and beats me with it. I don't want that :(
