Blog - Stack Exchange: Stack Overflowへようこそ

Joshua Maciel on December 15, 2014

Hi English-language readers! This blog post is not for you; perhaps you’d like a hat instead? No? Well, when last we spoke of creating non-English versions of Stack Overflow, some of you were certain we should’ve gone the easy route and just leveraged a machine translation service instead of creating real sites for real people to use. I humbly invite you to read the rest of this post using the mechanical babelfish of your choice, and see if you think such tools can be relied on for important work… …

Rory Alsop

@DavidFreitag Brilliant. Is it A or B? It's T

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop Yeah seriously.

I told him to screencap it all and bring it into the head of the department, cause that's total BS

Rory Alsop

that is a special kind of genius

Did he get the screenshot?

David Freitag

00:31

Yeah there have been a handfull of awful problems like that

Noordung

01:31

is there a MSE post about this year's secret hats like it was last year?

Gilles

@Noordung yes

Q: Winter Bash 2014 Secret Hats

So far, I've unlocked one of the secret hats. I'm wondering what other secret hats are out there and how to earn them.

@Gilles It's getting increasingly difficult to make you fetch posts from MSE for me, what happened? :))

AviD

08:54

@Iszi what proxy you on about?

@TerryChia bloody hell, who pinned this? not to mention starred it so many frikkin times.

Stars cleared.

Lighty

morning

Rоry McCune

09:28

mornin' all

@AviD that would've been me that pinned it :)

AviD

@RоryMcCune aaagghh shame on you!

Rоry McCune

@AviD grinch

AviD

hehe

Rоry McCune

@AviD also you're wearing the chat starring hat!!

AviD

my wife prefers calling me "asshole".

@RоryMcCune :-$

actually this hat is SOOO tigger. unfits him perfectly!

Lighty

09:45

@AviD ouch... is this a "Bring flowers/chocolate" thing?

you should buy her a sticker

;)

AviD

@Lighty no, I actually like her.

Lighty

sorry, forgot your interpreter was outdated

Noordung

well as long as she says it in a loving voice ...

Lighty

can happen, comes with age

< /sarcasm>

AviD

@Lighty no, its a "we should get together with our families over the holiday" ... "Why?" thing

Lighty

09:46

@AviD women don't like that, if its man and wife, or son and mother....

if you question the holiday, or say you don't want to do holiday stuff.... ooooohhhh boy

AviD

@Lighty not only do I not have any clue what you just said, I have no idea what you think you just said.

Or why you imagine you have relationship advice to give...

I'm sorry, was that too harsh? I'm sorry.

Shoot the baby.

Lighty

My relation ship advice would be buy her a sticker, bitches loooove stickers

kalina

\o_ yawn

Lighty

but hey, im a 17 year old teenager who had only one real love, can't drive or spell, so don't listen too much to me, k?

AviD

@Lighty ahh right, right. Bitches also loooove being called "bitches".

Lighty

09:49

That one went right over your awesome tigger hat, didnt it?

AviD

@Lighty your previous statement makes me doubt even the one.

I'm sorry, was that too harsh? I'm sorry.

Lighty

You turned canadian? this is the internet, don't apologize

kalina

@AviD no

AviD

@kalina ya think??

kalina

speaking from experience

AviD

09:50

@kalina duhh

kalina

guys don't like having their balls stamped on either

but such is life

AviD

@kalina I'm sure this is true. I also have no wish to verify this.

Lighty

@AviD I can verify that

AviD

@Lighty okay everybody, time to stamp on @Lighty's balls!!

I know, this is the time you've all been waiting for, I'm sure you're all very impatient.

Lighty

@AviD I'm speaking out of experience, tsk

AviD

09:53

lets just try to keep this an orderly line, one (or two) at a time.

Journeyman Geek

@AviD: That is a perfect hat for tigger

Lighty

but yeah, come over here and stomp em

AviD

don't worry, you'll get a turn, we have all day!

Lighty

i'll throw stickers at you

AviD

@JourneymanGeek inorite??

18 mins ago, by AviD

actually this hat is SOOO tigger. unfits him perfectly!

Journeyman Geek

09:54

What hat is that?

AviD

dunno

Sumo wrestler

no, Sumo Judge

kalina

aka "I starred people"

2

Rоry McCune

aand now someone is going for the sumo judge hat

iana.org/domains/root/db <-- this is getting silly

Journeyman Geek

Naw, I just found it amusing to star that

AviD

@RоryMcCune "getting"? I think its ridiculous.

hurhur, didja see the sponsoring org for .accountants ?

Rоry McCune

10:00

@AviD I mean .youtube... who the frack needs that (the answer is google apparently)

@AviD heh

@AviD and the administrative contact for it is Donuts Co.

kalina

I think I have all the secret hats

AviD

all this gTLD crap reminds me of the misuse of tags on SE.

kalina

not bad for somebody who doesn't even actively use the site anymore

Rоry McCune

I'd say that someone was taking the michael with that registration but then it costs $120,000

@kalina well you have all the easy ones... there may be others

kalina

hence "I think" rather than my usual "I have all the things and any things I do not yet have are therefore reclassified as not things"

AviD

10:02

@RоryMcCune bloody hell. so overall, only the really big corps can bother with these. Hmm, I wonder if their lobby had anything to do with it, to shut out the scrappy startups?

Rоry McCune

@AviD I think it was more that ICANN saw the opportunity to make a really large amount of cash for doing nothing and said..... "aw yeah"

AviD

lets be honest, most likely it was both.

Rоry McCune

@AviD indeed

kalina

actually there are supposed to be 8 and I only appear to have 7

AviD

@RоryMcCune damn cynical gits

kalina

10:04

how do you get Eureka this year?

Rоry McCune

@kalina dive into a pile of week-old fish?

kalina

ew

AviD

@kalina in order to get Eureka, one needs to know how to get Eureka.

kalina

@AviD but I know how to get Eureka

so give it to me

AviD

@RоryMcCune make it a month old, and @Adnan will say "yumm".

Rоry McCune

10:05

@AviD heh crazy scandavian living people

kalina

Somebody do me a great favour and upvote this once so I get the necro badge and thus another hat

I can't markdown

also I think it's time I do some hatting on info sec

AviD

@kalina yes. you are being trounced by @Simon.

also Gaming is trouncing Security.se.

oo oo, how did you get the timelord?

@JourneymanGeek found a solution to my remotefx mouse problem, posted an answer.

A: Erratic mouse movement in 3D games over RDP with RemoteFX

Wow, after a ton of research and failed attempts, I actually solved this! Well, mostly solved it - it is functional, but not without drawbacks. Thanks to @JourneymanGeek's answer, and in particular the post he linked to, I was able to follow the lead, and eventually discovered that amongst th...

huh? They gone and messed up the bounty system again.

they raised the minimum to 100, and I cant grant a reward bounty immediately?? whats the point!

wait, wut? not that same on all sites...??

kalina

10:21

GUYS

OMG

I have just posted an answer on infosec

0

A: Find the service creation date in Windows?

There is no way to determine the creation date for a particular Windows service as both the services applet and the Windows registry does not store any dates relating to creations. There is, however, a last modified date which is hidden away from view (including in the Windows registry editor) ...

I think it's correct(!)

@AviD :D

AviD

@kalina lovely! wow, you taught me something.

kalina

shocking

AviD

too bad that q is about to get migrated.

kalina

why would you do that to me

AviD

unless @LucasKauffman can tell me within the next 90 seconds why on earth he would ask that here.

kalina

10:24

it's my first actual post on info sec and you're going to migrate it away to stack overflow portuguese?!

you just hate me

AviD

he should goddamn llama know better.

@kalina hahaha

kalina

@AviD it's clearly related to information security

AviD

@kalina well, the fact that you knew the answer made it suspicious.

@kalina Clearly.

CodesInChaos

@kalina AviD would never do that. Japanese stackoverflow it is.

kalina

I didn't know the answer

I googled

it only took 37 tabs to find out the answer

user98085

10:25

"only"

kalina

37 tabs is not many

that's only 3% of a TVTROPES visit

AviD

ha!

user98085

How do you even manage to still find new content on tvtropes?

Don't you have it fully mapped out by now?

CodesInChaos

@user98085 You don't simply map out tvtropes.

kalina

I don't commit things not critical to my survival to memory

I know how to use google

I know how to determine if environmental stimuli will kill me

and I know if food is edible

everything else can be dealt with by knowing how to use google

Journeyman Geek

10:28

@AviD ooh, shiny

user98085

@kalina I don't think pot counts as "environmental stimuli", dear.

kalina

I wonder if anybody else has worked out who you are yet?

^_-

user98085

I was wondering if that was "subtle" enough for you to figure it out. :P

AviD

@kalina was just thinking, @user98085 sounds like feickunger.

fichinger.

user98085

Don't bother.

AviD

10:29

fingeringucker.

dammit, your german boyfriend.

kalina

I don't have a boyfriend

user98085

There is a reason the account is butchered, and it's going to stay that way.

AviD

OOPS did I just out you

user98085

I'm really only here because I knew the crazy person would be here for hats.

kalina

am I that predictible?

user98085

10:30

Yes.

AviD

and you came here for her. That makes YOU even crazier.

user98085

Though, to be fair, you told me you would be, so ...

Rоry McCune

@kalina that's not good OpSec you know...

kalina

@RоryMcCune that's shocking opsec, isn't it

fortunately, my opsec has it's own opsec

user98085

@AviD We had already established that prior to my departure, hadn't we.

Rоry McCune

10:31

@kalina yeah predictability is bad

kalina

so it can opsec while it opsecs

Terry Chia

@user98085 I missed you.

user98085

@kalina And this is why any sec.SE answer from you is suspicious.

@TerryChia Well, enjoy missing me again, soon.

AviD

@user98085 didnt know you left.

Terry Chia

@user98085 More accurately I missed mocking you about PHP.

kalina

10:31

@user98085 no no, kalina has opsec, <unnamed individual has opsec>

kalina is basically a sandboxed process

user98085

I am surprised I was even able to dig up login information for my openID ....

Considering that I specifically chose this openID because I was abandoning the account.

kalina

dedication

I can't even remember my steam id

or the account my steam id is registred to

basically messed that up

not that I'm playing games

user98085

@AviD It's a long story I'm not particularly willing to get into. But I certainly regret nothing, and stand by everything I said and did.

AviD

is your keepass broken?

@user98085 I have no idea what you're on about.

kalina

no, he hates you so much and can't tolerate your stench a nymore

so he left

furthermore

user98085

10:35

@kalina Yes, I'd rather tolerate your stench, gremlin. >.>

Rоry McCune

@user98085 non, rien de rien, non je ne regrette rien

kalina

when we both leave again, we're going to burn the place down

user98085

@kalina Eh, I lack the enthusiasm to do so.

kalina

...

AviD

@kalina the excess energy from your departure will fuel the entire country for 3 months.

user98085

10:35

I also developed an odd habit of using the expression "Eh" in your absence.

This is why we need to stay in touch, you fool!

kalina

fucking canadians

you know, there have been days this year where I've done nothing that I wanted to do

like, entire 24 hour periods where I did not do a single thing I wanted

user98085

I'd say "Go re-evaluate your life choices.", but then I figure I don't exactly have a leg to stand on there.

kalina

I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what you do for a living

you'll always find things to complain about if you try hard enoguh

user98085

That gives me great hopes about your mood! <.<

kalina

my mood is fantastic

ask anybody!

actually don't, everybody in here is miserable

Rоry McCune

10:40

@kalina I'm not :)

kalina

my mood right now is unbreakable, anyway

Rоry McCune

I'm doing a properly scoped web app, Weezer (blue album) is on the music player and it's looking pretty outside

kalina

I'm still \o/ about actually answering a question on here for the first time in two years

rule #32: enjoy the little things

Terry Chia

@kalina That movie really got to you eh? ;)

kalina

@TerryChia no, everything I watch on a regular basis has a lead character who has a list of life rules

I'm sure we've had this conversation already

I said I should write a list of rules for myself

Gibbs from NCIS has a list of rules too

Terry Chia

10:42

I don't recall this conversation.

kalina

and... well, that's really all I have time to watch

well it was obviously not all that important of a conversation to you, then

it's amazing what I lose sleep over that guys just forget

Terry Chia

@kalina Well duh, I don't even really know you.

kalina

mission accomplished

user98085

@kalina This assumes that you'd be capable to remember and follow those rules.

And consistently so.

kalina

I am pretty consistent

user98085

10:51

In not being consistent? Yes, you are very consistent in that.

kalina

are you suggesting that I am consistently inconsistent?

user98085

Yes.

Not to be confused with consistently incontinent, of course.

Rоry McCune

@kalina btw have you read grugq.github.io/presentations/…

Adnan

@AviD That would be the Swedes

kalina

@RоryMcCune did you just actually seriously link me something on github?

you know I'm not a programmer and know nothing, right?

Rоry McCune

10:53

@kalina it's not real github it's the grugg's website that he hosts on github

interesting presentation on OpSec and OpSec fails

kalina

this is an unusual thing

but, I already do nearly all of these things

even down to speaking to my dealer in simple, not obviously code, text

AviD

@Adnan ehh, you all look the same ;-)

kalina

me

__ sub aliases

___ sub sub alias

Adnan

@AviD Racist!

kalina

______ kalina

AviD

10:57

@kalina Rule #1, always have a list of rules.

Rule #2, always break a few rules.

@Adnan heh

kalina

@AviD Rule #1 is always know where your exits are

Journeyman Geek

@kalina We've always known the second part.

Adnan

@kalina I bet that @AviD is well aware of all of his exists

AviD

@kalina Rule #1 is the Doctor always lies.

Rule #1 is New is always better.

user98085

I thought Rule #1 was that we don't talk about ... Oh wait.

kalina

10:58

@JourneymanGeek you're so mean to me :(

Journeyman Geek

@AviD: I thought the first rule of having a list of rules is you didn't talk about the list of rules ;p

Rory Alsop

I still need to get the Tardis and Waffle hats, and guessing it isn't possible to get the Eureka after someone else has

user98085

@kalina Yes, only I get to be mean to you. Stop that, @JourneymanGeek!

kalina

@RoryAlsop easy hats

Rоry McCune

@user98085 heh you've obv. not been here much lately :op

kalina

10:59

I will get them both on infosec later

AviD

@user98085 no, you lost your privileges. @JourneymanGeek stepped up to fill your void.

kalina

it would take more than @JourneymanGeek to fill @user98085's void
