Why?

Jon Ericson

@bwDraco I wonder if it would be better to have the correct date.

bwDraco

Damn caching.

Then again, there's no way Stack Exchange would scale without aggressive caching.

Of course—it would otherwise be prohibitively expensive (read: "impossible") for the system to scale to the level of activity Stack Overflow has these days. It's the biggest reason Stack Exchange runs so efficiently today. — bwDraco Jul 14 at 18:28

Not to mention that even if you had the capacity to handle hundreds of millions of hits per day without caching, your response times would be rather slow which could lead to an SEO penalty.

As much as people hate the update latency caching introduces...

There simply is no alternative to caching, in any way, shape, or form. It's just not possible.

R.Doto

@Bob Amazon does do price matching if its within 2 weeks, right?

ALso good morning. Good to see the oom wasn't set on fire ;)

R.Doto

!!learn dweeb "Where are you, @Random?"

ChatBot John Cavil

@R.Doto Command dweeb learned

nhinkle

@JourneymanGeek that's been my experience

But only if it's sold by amazon, they don't price match other sites or anything like that

ChatBot John Cavil

@R.Doto Command dweeb learned

R.Doto

tehe

@R.Doto Where are you, @Random?

nhinkle

:25896350 you know @random is a mod and mods can read deleted messages right?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek not exactly the same

Journeyman Geek

@nhinkle yeah, did that with my kindle

R.Doto

@nhinkle i do indeed :P

Bob

!!ban @R.Doto

ChatBot John Cavil

Journeyman Geek

@R.Doto the bot is ignoring you

barlop

What partition formats does linux use?

R.Doto

@JourneymanGeek -.-

Journeyman Geek

@barlop gpt and mbr

tho I think its aware of slices.

R.Doto

00:41

@barlop save me plz

barlop

what about GPT?

Journeyman Geek

@R.Doto The bot's around as a convenience, if you abuse it bad things happen

@barlop I said gpt ;p

barlop

oh ok

Bob

I just can't be bothered giving warnings anymore.

Journeyman Geek

also, could we stop abusing stars?

barlop

00:42

So it uses the same one windows uses.. why?

Bob

(Also I'm on mobile)

R.Doto

@JourneymanGeek @Bob NAH!

!!listcommands

nhinkle

Who can tell the bot to ignore someone? Just room owners or what?

Bob

@nhinkle and mods

nhinkle

@Bob right, mods are essentially de-facto room owners

Journeyman Geek

00:43

@R.Doto Oh, Do behave.

Bob

@nhinkle it's actually handled slightly differently in the code

R.Doto

@nhinkle In the honor of spock, unban thee

Journeyman Geek

@R.Doto I for one oppose that ;p

Its being detremental to the proper flow of the chat.

THE CHAT MUST FLOW!

nhinkle

@R.Doto that would be quite... illogical.

Bob

But, yea, "dweeb" is an insulting term. If you're going to use the bot for that kind of thing I'll botban you.

Moreso when you target a specific user.

R.Doto

00:46

@Bob lool. Really? In england, it's more of a false insult

Journeyman Geek

ohhh k....

Kit Z. Fox

Hi!

Today, I brought pie!

R.Doto

@bob it's just not used regularly

Kit Z. Fox

offers pumpkin pie

Journeyman Geek

Just to note guys, the next guy who does a flag here I consider invalid gets a nice shiny suspension from chat.

I don't like doing that, so don't make me.

R.Doto

00:48

@JourneymanGeek Taking notes explicitly

Kit Z. Fox

What if you identify differently than "guy"?

Bob

The Bridge v2

Sigh.

Journeyman Geek

@KitZ.Fox maybe a slightly rusty suspension?

which creaks a little?

Kit Z. Fox

Hmm.

R.Doto

@JourneymanGeek mmm.

Kit Z. Fox

00:48

Where you have to kind of jiggle it a little to get it into 4th?

Journeyman Geek

@Bob meh, I think a few learning moments would sort that out.

Yup

tho, that would be your gearshift.

This is the sort of suspension that feels like you turned the subwoofer up to 11 at highway speeds

Kit Z. Fox

Oh. Yeah. True.

I was thinking rusty --> my car --> stuff wrong with my car.

The kind of suspension that really needs to be replaced if I'm going to pass inspection.

Journeyman Geek

This is why I take the bus or the train

At worse it catches fire and I get a free ride anywhere.

R.Doto

@barlop !!hello

Journeyman Geek

(this has actually happened on a bus I was on.)

Kit Z. Fox

00:51

I had that happen too.

Once.

On my way to Erie.

Journeyman Geek

and blah. I'm probably moving the balky monitor out of my room.

R.Doto

@JourneymanGeek SNAP!

Dave

Michael Frank

Looks like someone pissed off Cavil again?

Dave

When you see it.

R.Doto

00:52

@MichaelFrank tehe

Journeyman Geek

@MichaelFrank heh, also, we're suffering from a slight case of september.

Dave

That was 2 hours worth of debugging for someone

Kit Z. Fox

For you?

Dave

Nah someone on reddit

Took me 5 minutes to see the issue

Kit Z. Fox

I'm not clear what that is supposed to do.

Journeyman Geek

00:53

oh. k.

Dave

You don't see the issue yet lol.

Michael Frank

@Dave Not everyone is a programmer here.

Journeyman Geek

Ok... if the paths are null, its false

Michael Frank

I don't see it either.

Journeyman Geek

else... nothing?

Kit Z. Fox

00:54

No, I see the ;

Journeyman Geek

Kit Z. Fox

But I still don't know what it is supposed to be checking.

Dave

@JourneymanGeek lol funny now eh?

Kit Z. Fox

Oh. That's C# or something? I was looking at it like it was javascript.

Michael Frank

Oooh, yep. I see now.

Bob

00:55

NULL implies C

Michael Frank

Had to make it bigger.

Journeyman Geek

It ends at the first line?

Bob

But that's why you use a linter

Dave

Great post def

Journeyman Geek

(also, TIL what kickmute does. Seems useful)

Michael Frank

00:56

@Bob a linter?

Bob

C# would be lowercase null

C++ would be nullptr

@MichaelFrank linter. code style checker

Kit Z. Fox

I haven't written C code in ... wow, probably close to 20 years.

Daniel

Howdy @KitZ.Fox

Kit Z. Fox

Hi @Daniel. How are you this evening?

Dave

Next question. How many blocks are within that screen shot? 1 or 2?

Daniel

00:58

Default answer: outstanding

real answer: half-decent

Journeyman Geek

@Daniel ._. the stuff in brackets ought to be indented shouldn't they?

Dave

One implicit block and one explicit block correct?

Bob

Two if you include the outer block
