Software Recommendations

Gilles

12:00 AM

yes

Izzy

To both?

Gilles

yes

Izzy

OK, thanks.

danijelc

shouldn’t we tag as cross-platform question where more than one OS is applicable for OP?

Izzy

If I want a software for Linux or Mac, that's not necessarily cross-platform. If I want it to be available on both, that is.

danijelc

12:10 AM

yes that k so no need to tag it as cross-platform?

see here

Izzy

"cross-platform" means the same software is available on more than one – not on "any of some" ;)

Q: Source client for Icecast video (Theora) streaming?

I am searching for a source client for Icecast2. Required features: Video streaming with OGG Vorbis + Theora Capability of alternating live content and content from files. "Bonus points" if mixing is possible as well Windows or Linux, or even better, both Free, preferably Open Source I hav...

well in this question tag cross-platform was removed even if OP asked availabilty on Windows and linux

Izzy

I'd say no, as it is not a "strong requirement" but rather a "nice-to-have" in this case. "Strong requirement" is: on one of those.

danijelc

kk

maybe in such cases we go lil too strong

I mean its maybe good to have OS tags in such questions,

Izzy

Well, that's my opinion: nice-to-haves should be in the description only, not in the tags. Tags should stick to what's a must.

danijelc

12:13 AM

yeh well

thats k probably its quite a job tagging since we have number of pretty unclear requirements in questions

Izzy

@danijelc that might be OK (at least I'd not remove them then), but I wouldn't "enforce" it (i.e. I wouldn't add them if they aren't there). I would however add an OS tag if exactly one platform is targeted.

@danijelc I bet :)

But I'd also not removed the "streaming" tag from that Q :)

danijelc

@Izzy yap i got

its same situation both OS and are in question same as streaming

Izzy

If browsing by tag, that Q won't appear anymore now.

danijelc

yap still streaming is quite a narrow tag

Izzy

Though that's not a rare case, either...

danijelc

12:18 AM

yap question is basically to broad either

kalina

Thanks but I need one that works with Mac and Linux as well. — Dinopet123 55 mins ago

Izzy

@danijelc there you've got your cross-platform candidate #D

danijelc

12:20 AM

he changed taht question adjusting it to answer

sinc ehe asked open source and accepted team viewer

Izzy

@danijelc Yeah, but after the other answer was given.

danijelc

originally question was different

Izzy

exactly.

See timestamps.

Gilles

@danijelc meh, that's not really useful. cross-platform should mean available on all platforms, not just two.

Izzy

@Gilles Tell that Microsoft! For them cross-platform is when it runs on Win7 and Win8.

danijelc

12:22 AM

than maybe is better to insit in platform in question

LOL

that true

I adore when they say win xp, win7 and win8 compatible

Izzy

Not a joke, rather a quote (only that it was older versions)

@Gilles as soon as it runs on two different platforms, it's cross-platform IMHO.

danijelc

@Izzy agree on that

Izzy

Cross-platform

In computing, cross-platform, or multi-platform, is an attribute conferred to computer software or computing methods and concepts that are implemented and inter-operate on multiple computer platforms. Cross-platform software may be divided into two types; one requires individual building or compilation for each platform that it supports, and the other one can be directly run on any platform without special preparation, e.g., software written in an interpreted language or pre-compiled portable bytecode for which the interpreters or run-time packages are common or standard components of al...

Note: "Multiple", not "all".

OK, as we said two hours ago: time to go to bed, @kalina #D

Night all!

Gilles

@Izzy you're quibbling on words. There's no point to have a tag to mean “runs on more than one platform”.

It's never going to be useful in a search

Journeyman Geek

@Gilles: nothing runs on all platforms

Gilles

12:26 AM

@JourneymanGeek which tends to indicate that the tag is useless

Journeyman Geek

I could pull out an OS/2 VM and find it dosen't work.

Personally, I think per platform tags make more sense here

danijelc

@JourneymanGeek agree on that

I believe its quite important to have that clear in question or tags..

Q: Definition of [cross-platform] tag

idk then maybe this cross-platform is quite useless tag.

A: Definition of [cross-platform] tag

We can't seem to agree on what cross-platform means. “Runs on at least two different operating systems” is not a useful meaning for a tag: I can't see a reason to subscribe to it (if I have an Windows Phone phone and an iPad phone, Windows RT/Android cross-platform apps?), to ignore it (the fact...

danijelc

12:45 AM

upvoted. cross-platform is only making confusion

Izzy

6:47 AM

@JourneymanGeek Java does, PHP does. Perl does. And more.

@Gilles Disagree. Say I want a software that ideally runs on platforms A, B, and C. With no OS tags, and no cross-platform tag, i'll have fun looking first for A+B, then A+C, then B+C. Now there is also D, which doubles the effort... (e.g. Linux, Mac, OS/2, Windows).

Journeyman Geek

7:05 AM

@Izzy: I'm sure I can find a platform they don't run on.

;p

Izzy

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, but that's not the point #D

A: Definition of [cross-platform] tag

If the requirement is a software must run on at least one of A, B, D – but the OP doesn't care which: That's not cross-platform, but "any-platform" (don't make that a tag, please!). If however one needs a software which is (natively) available on more than one platform (say A+B, and ideally also...

@JourneymanGeek as to your ebook question: doesn't Calibre rename books automatically?

I use it for years already, but stopped using the GUI because of that: when converting via the GUI, it places the book into a hierarchical structure, and in the folder "<author name> you find the file <book name>.<ext>. It even retrieves covers, offers tags, and more.

So as you already mentioning it for the conversion itself: why doesn't it fit your other requirements?

Journeyman Geek

@Izzy: does it? I haven't used a desktop ebook reader in years ;p

Izzy

Just check the Demo show

Journeyman Geek

....

damn.

So it does, mostly ;p

Izzy

Let me know if I'm right, so I can answer your Q (I thought you tried it and it failed you for some reason – and I could not figure what that reason might have been)

Journeyman Geek

7:24 AM

hm I can't seem to find them for some obscure reason. Downloading one of them to test, will take about 10 minutes or so

Izzy

Find what?

Journeyman Geek

@Izzy: The files themselves ;p

I KNOW I have at least one copy somewhere

Izzy

LOL

Don't say "the entire Baen collection disappeared"?

Journeyman Geek

Actually

Yes

I can download it easily

Yeah, looks like I had the answer right under my nose ;p

Journeyman Geek

7:46 AM

hm It shows books by format. PERFECT

Most of my e-book reading is on a tablet or phone - If I'm at a PC, I can carry an actual book

Actually still working out what works for me. I just switched ebook readers for example

Izzy

@JourneymanGeek Powder? "white snuff"? Don't sneeze :)

I use Calibre for a long time now. Wrote my own not-that-tiny shell scripts for conversion. Write my books in HTML, and then run the scripts on them: perfect, including hierarchical TOC :)

Journeyman Geek

lol

for a computer geek, I don't really like reading books on screens

Izzy

@JourneymanGeek I read them on my tabbi, mostly. But every now-and-then, I also prefer the "real thing" in my hands :)

Izzy

@JourneymanGeek Oh! Visit the "Deutsche Bahn" then (German rail). Heaters broken, and the worst coffee ever. You're awake after that one, I swear! Ralph takes care for that...

Journeyman Geek

Yeah, It has to be bad coffee.

@kalina BTW the hack listed in the accepted answer on that MSO post works, but it's a pain to have to do that.

kalina

also, I'm disliking this remote access question, this guy didn't seem to read my answer before downvoting it

and then he edits his question to invalidate my answer, after we've been asking him to provide more information for days.

*sigh*

we're going to get more and more of this particular situation as we move forward, might as well get used to dealing with it

I wonder if we have a meta post discussing what to do with answers that were valid when they were posted and whether we should keep them

discussion

Izzy

@kalina Alternatively, those edits could be "rolled back" when necessary. Comment: "If you have a new question..."

kalina

@Izzy a roll back would cause the question to be missing requirements

Izzy

@kalina Not? I already made a joke on that: "When out of votes, go to bed might be still too early..."

Caleb

@kalina The guy has not idea what he's even looking for.

Izzy

@kalina OK: roll-back, then VTC for missing requirements #D

kalina

10:30 AM

@Izzy my opinion is that's a little harsh

Izzy

@kalina Saw the smiley? ;) OTOH, that would contribute to the "learning curve"...

kalina

@Caleb I completely agree with you, he's moved the goal posts far too many times

Izzy

"Never change your question to have a complete different meaning once there're answers to it."

kalina

@Izzy it's not "completely different"

it's different enough to invalidate my windows oriented answer though

Izzy

Btw: I'm just about to customize the AutoReviewComments script quoted above, to make site-specific things possible.

kalina

10:33 AM

I think I'm going to leave my answer there, and edit in some kind of "this will work if you only need to connect to Windows" sort of disclaimer on it

Izzy

@kalina You know what I meant. I have no nerves for the "absolute perfect phrasing" ATM :)

Caleb

@Izzy Oh sure you can ... esp when the original was meaningless. This is why that needed to be put on hold EARLIER rather than answered, but invalidating answers on an unclear question is fine, esp a closed one. If it is ever going to get opened it might need to do so to be whipped into shape.

kalina

I agree, quality is more important than anything on this site

The moment quality starts to slip, it's all over

it will turn into yahoo answers overnight

Izzy

OK, you convinced me. Must be "bound to the case"...

kalina

Caleb

@kalina At this stage, it could happen overnight :2

@Caleb true enough, but with this few questions we could recover from it quite easily

Seeing a question tagged only gratis makes me really dislike this tag. The same goes for open-source. A tag that can't work as the only tag on a question is a likely criterion for a bad tag.

@Gilles I'm pretty sure I said this last week

I would probably go as far as doing the same to operating system tags as well

but I know that will be a hard one to get people to agree to

at this rate, we'll have a bunch of people with operating system tag badges in a few weeks

Gilles

@kalina OS tags are a lot more useful

A: "Feature tags" only for required or also for optional features?

TL;DR we shouldn't allow "feature" tags at all. I don't think we should allow "feature" tags at all - take for example the multiplayer tag which is being used against game requests. This tag serves no real purpose as the "multiplayer" feature should be specified in the body of the question as a ...

Gilles

but even though I almost exclusively use open source software at home I can't see a point of favoriting open-source

kalina

some examples probably need removing from my answer but basically: feature tags are bad... mmmkay

I can't wait until your answer gets up to highest voted on that

edit spree ftw

Gilles

@kalina No! If we get rid of the tags, it won't be done through edits

Caleb

10:44 AM

@Gilles +1, after blowing through a bunch of questions today using up my votes I was thinking the same thing about those tags.

kalina

@Gilles editing allows us to re-evaluate all of the questions they're on though

I've fixed so many typos and formatting issues while removing tags

Caleb

@kalina Naw, those are useful. I already follow the ones I have expertise in and it is a meaningful taxonomy.

kalina

@Caleb they're not as bad as gratis or open-source, for sure

we are going to get a lot of people with tag badges in windows/linux/osx/android/ios pretty soon though

I guess that allows us to see who uses what operating system :p

Izzy

@kalina LOL guess Stack Overflow is not one of those #D

there is far too much noise for the signal:noise argument to be valid

Izzy

@Izzy no, I understand the point of Stack Exchange

and signal to noise is the best way of expressing that point

Gilles

10:51 AM

@Izzy I can't see the point of the tag. You don't need to lecture me on the benefits of the concept.

Izzy

That's what I mean. You even explain things using "geek terms".

kalina

open-source is a feature tag

thus, open-source must die

do not quote that line out of context

@danijelc Which one specifically you are referring to?

What I especially don't like is the kind of answer: "If...you could try tools like...". Misses to point out what makes that a good solution, and basically is just a list. As I've posted an own answer there, it would look bad to leave a fitting comment on the other one (looks like "bad competition").

LOL I switched to scriptish years ago...

Braiam

@Izzy just gimme the new text ;)

Izzy

1:38 PM

@Braiam ??? Which new text?

danijelc

idk no error logs either

Braiam

danijelc

um im no expert at all but i cant see under scripts setting software reccomendation URL

Izzy

I didn't add new responses (except for one copy-paste from kalina). I modified the script to permit site-specific stuff.

danijelc

see I tested on AU either notig but AU question web url is not in scripts settings

Izzy

1:44 PM

@danijelc There are no specific script settings. It should work out-of-the-box.

it is:
// @include http://*askubuntu.com/questions*
// @include http://*askubuntu.com/review*
// @include http://*askubuntu.com/admin/dashboard*
// @include http://*askubuntu.com/tools*

danijelc

Izzy

Have you used the scrollbar? Two lines later comes *.stackexchange.com

// @include http://*stackexchange.com/questions*
// @include http://*stackexchange.com/review*
// @include http://*stackexchange.com/admin/dashboard*
// @include http://*stackexchange.com/tools*

danijelc

yap

so should work with *

??

Izzy

Doesn't GM show what scripts are active when you're on a page?

danijelc

it says enabled only

actually says autorevies comments

Izzy

1:50 PM

That's the corresponding Scriptish-dropdown. Line 4 shows "AutoReviewComments" being active on the current page

Anything like that with GreaseMonkey?

danijelc

yap slight different but that meaning

Izzy

Yepp, that, exactly.

So it's there.

danijelc

yes all looks K but no auto option

Izzy

Though you're on meta there :) Maybe try the main site?

danijelc

yes tried :)

ask ubuntu main and meta too

Izzy

1:54 PM

(should work on meta as well, but I've never tried)

danijelc

travel and photography tested too but no auto

Angelo Neuschitzer

@danijelc Did you click "add comment"?

danijelc

let me try

Izzy

Angelo Neuschitzer

(I stumbled upon this one)

theres an "auto" there!

Izzy

1:57 PM

@AngeloNeuschitzer Uh-oh... Of course it doesn't show before you do that. Makes no sense otherwise #D

Angelo Neuschitzer

@Izzy Disputed!

danijelc

im still no auto for me

Izzy

What? That it doesn't show before?

Angelo Neuschitzer

I thought it would show anyway.

Izzy

No. It's a auto comment paster. Makes no sense without a comment field.

Angelo Neuschitzer

1:59 PM

@Izzy Why? At it is a "comment paster" it should open the comment field it uses.

Izzy

Hm, so maybe it has trouble with GM, don't know, I'm using Scriptish as said.

Angelo Neuschitzer

Compare: Screenshot - editor. You press "PrntScr" and it does a screenshot and opens. No need to open the program before that :)

Izzy

@AngeloNeuschitzer Ah. So "This is not an answer" makes perfect sense then, as it would be added *to the question". I see #D

Angelo Neuschitzer

I use Greasemonkey.

danijelc

idk see my experience to GM date to 2004 soo i cant be much help with that
