Hey btw I think I never posted this in here - commit to Puzzling! All of you probably like puzzles in general and we only need 19 more commits before private beta :D

@hichris ^ Are you going to go join that room just to kick me now? :P

hichris123

@Doorknob No, but I will join the room. :P

Hi @mods

Do you want me to kick you so you see what kicking is like? :P

@TheDoctor don't worry, you're not the only one here who doesn't have a diamond...

TheDoctor

You guys don't star much, do you?

hichris123

... we star the most random things.

Hrm.

Q: The API is being very standoffish

I was working on Blaze and noticed that I was getting quite a few of those nasty backoff violations. I checked my code for infinite loops and whatnot, then checked the dev console. Here's the timeline: I call /answers with my key and a pagesize of 100. The exact path I call: https://api.stack...

A: Reverse turning of Stepper motor

The answer is simple. Just pass a negative number of steps as an argument to motor.step();. Another note: You forgot a semicolon on your second to last line. IIRC this doesn't matter in C, but it's just bad practice to do this. If you add a line of code below that, then it won't work. Example c...

Wat?

Annonomus Penguin

No accepty... :(

Doorknob

13:39

Umm...???

I don't even have an account on Arduino

Annonomus Penguin

Oh you could've mentioned that... :P

Doorknob

... mentioned that when? :P

Annonomus Penguin

I didn't want to be rude asking for an accept.

1 min ago, by Doorknob

Wat?

That made it look like you did ^^^

Doorknob

I is confuse

Annonomus Penguin

I was asking you if you did have an Arduino account to leave a comment about accepting. Nvm...

Doorknob

13:41

I could always create one :P

Annonomus Penguin

@Doorknob ~~But then you couldn't sleep at night when I have access to all of your info!~~ A great idea! :P

Is it rude to ask for it myself? I don't like doing it, but me likes green checkmarks.

Annonomus Penguin

13:55

@user Do you need any more help with this? If not, you can "accept" my answer by clicking the checkmark to mark this as a solution to your problem. — Annonomus Penguin ♦ 8 secs ago

Good enough :P

@hichris123 Hmmph.... have an idea. I created the nomination post that gave you your diamond, right? So then technically without me creating that you might not have gotten your ♦? (You also were the first to post by far: you had a head start cause of me. That might've helped you a little, there's still a 5% chance it helped you some by me blogging here.) So therefore, I gave you your ♦. Shouldn't I be able to revoke it to kick you??? :P

But, I own my own diamond.

Q: frustrate your teacher

Say you are in class, and your teacher has found out you're a programmer. He demands you write a program to generate math problems for him. He does not care what kind of problems, it can be anything. The program must also be able to generate an answer. Note that the teacher may open the file if ...

How?

I made a JavaScript program that lets your bird auto-fly:

        for (var j = 0; j < walls[i].cells.length; j++) {
            walls[i].cells[j].setValue(bird.value);
        }
    }
}
setInterval(cheat, 500);
bird.watch('vy', function(id, oldvalue, newvalue) {
    if (newvalue != 0) {
        bird.vy = 0;
    }
    return 0;
});

- When I get kicked, the page would refresh, thus resetting the script, and letting me in.

Q: Question about Sea Breeze

How would I solve the following problem? http://goo.gl/MqBR1S I would appreciate any help.

meteorology weather dynamics homework

^ Unclear?

André

@hichris123 the shortened URL always makes me think there's something bad behind it... but anyway, it looks like a "do my homework" question so I think you should close it.

Braiam

@hichris123 he didn't even bothered to write down the problem...

hichris123

Yup, let's say it's unclear.

(just wanted a sanity check before I bindingly closed it)

Braiam

20:28

@hichris123 don't be afraid of the power, just embrace it! Let yourself being drawn in power! MUHAHAHHAHAHA

<--- a bad influence

André

Have no pity for "do my homework" questions, close them on sight. :)

hichris123

@Braiam rofl

@André Meh, I don't really have a problem with do my homework questions, it's just a) the problem is in a Google Doc, b) no effort, and c) what the heck is that person asking for? The solution? How to solve it?

André

@hichris123 "do my homework" almost never shows effort, otherwise the question is more detailed and doesn't look like a homework question anymore.

Seth

"do my homework" isn't even a valid question.

If you have a homework question you should be able to phrase it so I can't tell.

hichris123

true.

Seth

20:32

i.e. in the end it isn't a homework question ;)

hichris123

How about this: I don't have a problem with homework questions.

André

@Seth exactly that's what I'm saying.

Seth

@hichris123 E: Mod doesn't have a problem with homework question. Exiting.

hichris123

Heh.

André

@hichris123 someone's looking for easy questions for rep-farming ? :D

hichris123

20:35

rofl

Seth

There was this epic homework question on gems.. but I can't find it

hichris123

No, what I'm trying to say is this: if you're asking a question, and it's your homework, that's okay. It's just not okay when you dump a homework question and say givemetehanswerz.

Seth

Hmm.. You could say that, but I say, if you're asking a homework question you're doing it wrong.

André

@hichris123 yeah that's what @Seth said before - it's fine if it's homework as long as it doesn't look like homework (and it usually doesn't when the OP shows a bit of research effort).

Seth

okay, now that I think about it, I doubt it ever made it to gems.

Does my votes history show votes on deleted questions? It doesn't does it?

hichris123

20:41

@Seth Nope.

Seth

I know, I'll go through my flagged posts!

Except I don't have 10k on meta so I'll have to go my the title

Aha! Found it.

@Doorknob around?

hichris123

So... what should we do with meta-tags like homework?

Apparently some sites actually use them.

Seth

Uhh.. remove them? ;)

I guess you should ask on meta "How do we treat homework questions, do we need a homework tag?"

since each site is different.

hichris123

Yeah, good idea.

@Seth It's on ES, btw.

André

Something better would have been to give him a code-trolling style answer. :p

Seth

That would have been hilarious indeed xD

Doorknob

21:10

@Seth Yep

hichris123

@Doorknob ... he doesn't need you anymore. :P

Doorknob

André

Is it fine if I answer this question using an answer from the comments ?

The OP already asked the comment's author to repost his comment as an answer but no reaction...

Seth

21:34

@Doorknob yeah, a bit too late :P
