12:16 AM
ow
@Bob the system should handle that shortly
if not, let the CMs know
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Yea I'm just waiting for the reversal
not the first time, but it is the first cross-site one so that's fun
 
hmm
SIlly thing is I have no idea if I can ask a SO mod about it based on what I see
 
Bob
if it isn't reversed in a day I'll probably poke the team@ address
 
IIRC that's changed
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek oof
 
12:22 AM
@Bob the old ones should work
the new one is better, let me confirm
lemme check up
community-support@ is better
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek oh, there's new addresses?
I'll look up the contact pages if it comes to that
 
Bob
not fussed about the rep, honestly... that's like a week of idling and +10s from old answers
it's more a sense of wanting the person who did this suspended :P
 
lemme know if it gets reversed
cough
The suspension isn't automatic so... I'll see what I can do
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek yea, that's why I'm kinda hoping it doesn't get auto-reversed
makes it easier to swing an email by the CMs
 
12:36 AM
@GDPR I had never finished that short story before today. I kept expecting the project to turn into the Matrix ha
 
@Bob I'm curious to know who it is more than anything else
 
Bob
@ADHDCat unfortunately there's no way for us peons to tell :P
I did guess one before, but that was over a longer period and I could guess the trigger.
This time I haven't even commented on a post in 5 days, so... *shrug*
will just have to wait for CMs to find out with their fancy tools
 
 
2 hours later…
2:37 AM
shrug and even if I knew I couldn't tell you XD
 
Bob
3:24 AM
oh look, serial voting reversed 24 mins ago (cc @JourneymanGeek)
> There are more people currently playing Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 on Steam than there are Ashes of the Singularity, which is probably why the game has earned the title "Ashes of the Benchmark." There might very well be more people benchmarking the game right now than actually playing it.
:D
 
For a moment, I thought you were talking about Ashes of Creation, and I was like "That game is in Alpha 0, of course more people are playing C&C:RA3!"
 
ah
;)
Didn't even need a CM
 
4:06 AM
 
4:48 AM
lol @ "Civilization ends in fire"
 
Seems appropriate
since it probably started with it too
 
5:46 AM
> This site can’t be reached
www.google.co.uk refused to connect.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Oooh, Google's broken, that's rare.
@Bob I thought it was like the DX12 version of 3DMark
 
 
1 hour later…
6:48 AM
@JourneymanGeek that reminds me
Did you hear back from SO?
 
oh, Didn't make it to the interview stage
shrug
Next time I guess?
I have a few theories but eh, whoever gets it is probably going to be someone I respect and vice versa ;)
 
@JourneymanGeek Sorry to hear that :((
@JourneymanGeek hopefully :)
 
eh, You don't always get what you want
So, next time ;p
and one more if that fails
 
:)
@Bob I don't think I've ever asked, but what do you do professionally?
 
tbh, right now my focus is on surviving my current job, then finding something more interesting.
And well, also, the search for future mrs geek ;)
 
6:56 AM
@JourneymanGeek Ooooohhhhh!
 
@rahuldottech on a one year contract
There's a termination clause for this year but should be fine next onwards
its fairly 'safe' so... I have the room to look for something more my interest after that
 
@JourneymanGeek that's nice
 
yup
also cough
Its a reputable job
sigh
We need to get over that stuff ;)
But its useful for now
 
Bob
7:34 AM
@rahuldottech Mostly webdev but also general desktop/server tools now and then.
 
7:56 AM
ugh...
 
!!taytaytay
 
i am sooooo tired
 
8:39 AM
the heat is nasty atm @Burgi
I didn't sleep well
which means in reality, I prob had ~3 hours sleep
 
@djsmiley2k read matrix for the details
 
yah,
Our next door neighbours are moving :S
I just hope we get someone nice in
@rahuldottech sort it out yeah;)
 
9:32 AM
ffs windows
10.0.0.0/24 isn't a public network >_<
and it won't let me change it (Win 7)
 
9:50 AM
Silly bee, my room is a not a flower
No pollen here
 
10:14 AM
xD
 
10:45 AM
@djsmiley2k hm?
 
fix india plz
:D
(see the link)
 
11:01 AM
almost every ATM in the UK runs XP
 
11:15 AM
Yah, we're awesome too
 
Our incredible self-checkout machines in Luxembourg run Windows 2000...
 
Bob
11:40 AM
@djsmiley2k More typical clueless Register reporting. Seriously.
That site's about as trustworthy as The Verge.
Maybe less so.
> That's more than five years beyond the May 2014 end of support for the OS.
*ahem* XP Embedded and PoSReady have much extended support.
Hm, apparently PoSReady was 2016.
Eh, Embedded is still 2019.
 
12:12 PM
I thought it was longer than 2019.... eitherway, yeah I know.
Seems all the crappy journos from the crappy places which went/going bust, are now going other places, and making them crappy too lol
 
@Burgi But does it run Crysis?
 
heh#
 
 
1 hour later…
Bob
1:55 PM
> the ability to calculate 30 years' worth of data saved on a desktop in one hour
what does that even mean?
how do you measure quantity of data in years?
what's a desktop got to do with it?
 
it's mumbo jumbo
 
i think it is lazy journalism to try and make the numbers easier for normals
 
'calculate' ?
 
2:10 PM
Presumably the phrase "run the numbers" was in use elsewhere
 
2:22 PM
Lol
 
 
2 hours later…
4:06 PM
ugh, why is webfont licensing so hideously complex?
one font is licensed per 10,000 pageviews another is licensed per 15k unique visitors
 
4:19 PM
it makes it so tricky to work out if the basic license is sufficient
 
4:43 PM
lol
 
5:16 PM
ok it is officially hot
i'm wearing shorts
 
@Burgi At work?
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy not yet
we have AC at work
 
Isn't the UK permanently cold?
@Burgi Just for curiosity, what do you consider hot?
 
23C or above
its 28C in the city centre
 
my car was reading 40C
after driving for 20 minutes, when it'd normally have dropped to 'sensible' temps, it said 37C
 
5:28 PM
I don't understand temperature anymore
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy it's not always just the temp that matters
also the humidity
 
In the last month I felt cold at 25
 
the air here is still
there's no wind, there's no water near by, so nice breezes either
@ThatBrazilianGuy that's body adaptation
 
And then I felt the sun burning my skin at 26
 
In iceland I'd see natives in just a teeshirt outside, at -15C
I was in full blown winter gear
and they are like 'lol walking my dog!'
 
5:30 PM
I had the same experience in São Paulo, except it was 13 C
I was in coat, gloves, scarf, the whole stuff
 
13C I'd happily be in shorts
 
Natives were in light clothes
 
teeshirt inside, tee shirt and sweatshirt outside.
What's your avg temp there @ThatBrazilianGuy?
 
Well 13 C in a windy evening
Right now it's 20-something and I'm in jeans
 
So here I guess the average is somewhere around 10C
 
5:32 PM
@djsmiley2k I can check later, but for Rio natives, when it reaches 25 or below it's time to grab their coats
22, 21 is coats for everyone
 
7-8C here.
is average
in that I'd be in jeans
so 30, is 3x the average
now imagine you being in 60C
:D
 
The other day at home I felt so cold I wore thick socks
It was 19
 
19C is lovely
Also english and funny, we complain about the rain, then we complain about the sun, then the rain again...
Snow? Complain!
Thunder? Complain!
Cats and Dogs? COMPLAIN!
rigfhttt gotta go watch 2.1
 
Darsksy.net says we're at 27 now
I'm feeling comfortable indoors
With no air conditioning and the fan is off
But I'm in the shade, so...
@djsmiley2k More like 75
 
5:46 PM
I think that Vegas is a bit warmer: today it is 109F/42C!
 
> Parts of the south east and central England are set to have temperatures topping 33C this week, hotter than Rio de Janeiro, where admittedly it is winter, but still has average temperatures of 27C.
Well, we're in the middle not Autumn. And it's 27 C today.
@Run5k When it reaches that temperature I'm usually taking the baths a day
During summer I've seen 30 C at 10pm
Hotter than Rio my ass
But very definitely very hot
So for people used to 10C... Yeah.
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy but the old saying about "a dry heat" is very accurate. Our heat waves aren't nearly as bad with little/no humidity.
 
@bwDraco ... exactly. We stay indoors when the sun is out! ;-) But again, it isn't nearly as bad as our Gulf Coast areas where it is typically around 90 degrees with 80 percent humidity.
 
6:16 PM
So all that to say we may be hotter than Rio, but I'm fairly certain that their heat is more uncomfortable than ours.
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy I wonder what the temps and humidty is like in south africa
as I've known two south africans who said it's worse here than there
because they'll get a huge storm and it cools off for awhile
here it's just blurgh,
Asus M2 Crosshair rev 1.04g 6SATA AM2 socket vs AsusTek M2N68-AM Plus MD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+
I haz no clue what's good or not anymore
I think the AM2 is newer?
(I know it's all old)
 
6:34 PM
> So when I listen to it, I think about this super restrained 9-5 person who meets someone and then loosens up and starts to enjoy life. And then goes dancing and shit in the city idk
Someone said this about one of my music tracks and now I'm so happy
 
whjat song? D:
 
listening while watching pikmin 3 run :O
I like the bitpop/synthinessiess
 
Ah... I keep forgetting about Games Done Quick, @djsmiley2k. Thanks for the reminder! :-)

> Anoia, Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers, might have been a creation of Terry Pratchett, but the ancient Romans did have a goddess of hinges. Her name was Cardea, and according to Ovid, "she opens things that have been closed, and closes things that have been opened".

Discord is mainly voice comms, right?

Chat servers
 
Yes, but Discord also has a fairly robust message board-style capability.
 
yah
 
I hate it
 
just thinking how, geeks were once frowned upon, while the rest of the world face to face chatted
we hid behind IRC and such
now we have discord, and the rest of the world has whatsapp etc
;D

hmm
I missed epic rap battles of RA?
 
@JourneymanGeek seems that way. Why aren't you asleep?
 
just woke up lol
 
@djsmiley2k , to this day my favorite speed runs are done by the people who essentially have Super Metroid memorized. After years of practice, the time it takes for these folks to finish the game at 100% is truly remarkable! :-o

@JourneymanGeek You're gonna need to rap a rebuttal tonight :P
