Q: Login app for website

DogantrI want to create an app that can signs in to my school schedule from this site http://tref.cals.nl/roosters/ . How can I make that? I am using Android Studio.

Do they expect people to actually make a whole program for them?

@JakeSymons but spam is only promoting a product or service.
As a moderator, I wouldn't mind seeing a spam or rude/abusive flag on such a post, but YMMV.
That's why I went with NAA.
 
@Glorfindel so if their promoting themselves, naa, got it :)
Its still there
 
@Glorfindel YMMV?
 
@Mithrandir though you didn't do saterdays :)

@Mithrandir your mileage may vary
 
@JakeSymons it's past nightfall here.

Is this information about joining Smokey accurate.
Just because its different to this
 
well, that's for SOCVR
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Shortened URL in answer: How to replace a string in multiple files in linux command by Sultan Alotaibi on stackoverflow.com (@quartata)
 
@Mithrandir why is there different rules for getting privileges there and here? Its the same reports on both right,
 
> To be clear, the Charcoal team operates from a different room to SOCVR, and has different criteria for granting privileges in that room. If your account doesn't fit the criteria SOCVR looks for, you can still get involved with SmokeDetector in that room.
 
@Mithrandir yeah but why?
 
8:41 PM
because SOCVR and Charcoal are different organizations
 
@Mithrandir I know that but it operates from the same reports, from the same bot :)
 
Yeah, but they're different orgs, and have different rules. Yes, Smokey operates in there, but our philosophies and intentions are slightly different.
 
@Mithrandir does it matter which one you join in?
 
Join what in?
 
Like if I join on here, do I still need to meat the requirements to join on the other room?
Sign up to Smokey
 
8:46 PM
You'll need to get privileges in SOCVR separately than in here, I believe.
But SOCVR/Charcoal relations aren't my area of expertise.
@rene should probably have more info on that than I do.
 
This is still here :)

A: Wow vs Whoa, what is the difference between them in the US?

LarryHi My Names Is Larry Duyck Why cane L to see You lDuyck@ Rogers.com

 
@Mithrandir SOCVR and Charcoal permissions are handled separately. There's obvious exceptions like developer access like i gave myself, but SOCVR usually needs some additional things for 'access' there.
@JakeSymons Not anymore it isn't.
 
@ThomasWard just went, straight after I posted it here :)
I think I'll work on joining here before I start considering joining on SOCVR. One step at a time :)
 
SOCVR is a bit tricky, yes.
I mean, the obvious exception was me giving myself access in all the rooms, but I'm a smokey tester/dev and run a number of their instances so :P
 
I only drop in to SOCVR to yell at people when they break Smokey, sooooo

@Mithrandir sure it wasn't me :)
 
@JakeSymons SPAM flags have consequences for the OP and we had some members that flagged stuff wrong, so wrong that moderators got annoyed as well as the majority of the regulars. That is why I've put a sanity check by RO's on the smokey privileges for users. There are no hard criteria but showing in the room that you know what you are doing is a must. And we prefer users to have access to review queues, so that starts at 500 rep. Does that explain the why?
 
@rene I believe you've covered everything.
 
Awesome, thanks.

...how did that get turned into a PR?
wait what
Ah crap
@Undo The merge union driver didn't resolve this one right
cc @tripleee, pretty interesting
So here's what happened
 
Tried to only take one file?
weird
 
We had two PRs, a watch PR and a blacklist of something that was already watched PR
I merged the watch first, generating a conflict since the blacklist PR removed something from the watchlist
Union driver compares them, sees HEAD as having both entries added and preserves them
So the item wasnt removed from the watchlist
Generating a CI failure (duplicate entry)
The fundamental problem is that an addition in HEAD and a removal in incoming look the same
Across multiple revs that is
