4:00 PM
@AJ because I am busy+ angry + frustrated +hungry
 
@AnkitSharma need a hug?
 
@AJ AJ. Lay off. Seriously.
You do not get to tell the users of this site, particularly the mods, what to do. The last thing we want is mods making hasty decisions on flags just to suit your urgency.

@DForck42 awww
 
4:21 PM
@AnkitSharma hug
 
A J
@Catija You don't need to write my name twice. :P
And I am just telling him
It's not urgent.
 
@AJ He's not the only mod on the site. I've now seen two comments in the last three hours telling him to go take care of the comment flags.
 
A J
Though flags that need to be cleared urgently are generally ignored here.
And I had long discussion about this with Ankit, Steelersquirrel and Napoleon long ago. So I don't wanna discuss it again.
 
the take away though is the mods know they're there, they'll get to them when they can
 
A J
I apologize if I sounded rude.
I won't tell'em again. Promise. <Even there is a spam or rude or abusive thing floating around the site>
Sorry again.
 
4:39 PM
@AJ if there's spawm or rude/abusive stuff, link to it in here and it'll get flagged and auto-deleted
 
A J
I am just having a bad day. Had a long heated argument with colleague, and suspended from chat.
 
@AJ still better then my day
 
if something gets flagged enough times with the right flags, it gets deleted
 
@AJ I don't think ti's rude and waiting fro other mods for there opinion
I do check urgent stuff whenever possible but for edge cases or for time taking flag I take time
 
A J
@AnkitSharma Seems @Catija can't see all the pressure on you. That's nice. :)
 
4:42 PM
@AJ I might have said the same sooner or later, I really appreciate your work here and all your enthusiasm but if you can add little patience it will be awesome.
Even if you don't ping mods here, they will surely look into flags
Except when it's really urgent
And I don't count bad ID as urgent cases as we have high rep user who can close them even before mods
 
@AnkitSharma Mods aren't supposed to and usually don't close questions by themselves
 
A J
@AnkitSharma mind the typo. user != suer :P
 
Your only real duty is handling very few flags every now and then
Not even a rate of one flag per day
Most mods do thing that aren't their duty
All mods?
 
@AJ ooops
 
@AJ Well, they're kinda suing the question for violating the principle rules of the site
 
A J
4:46 PM
@AnkitSharma That typo sounds really funny.
 
@AJ It's good my typo changed your mood
@DForck42 :)
 
@AnkitSharma sorry you're having a bad day
 
Bad weeks but nevermind :P
 
@M.A.R. I'm sorry but that's just utterly wrong.
If a question is obviously off topic, there is no reason for a mod to hold off on closing it for consensus votes.
2
 
@M.A.R. If it's off topic then mod must close it if they can
I smell conspiracy, whenever I solve a flag a new flag is coming and count remain same
Maybe I should cook first
Decision made with hungry stomach can be regretful :P
 
A J
4:52 PM
@AnkitSharma Oh I had dinner already. ;)
 
@AnkitSharma I'm looking at stuff and flagging ;-)
 
Maybe I should order
Order placed, too tired to cook
Till then I can eat fiber biscuits
 
@AnkitSharma what's a fiber biscuit?
 
5 grain biscuit/cookies
They are rich in fiber ( they say that in ads)
 
ahh
 
5:13 PM
Uff order will still take half hour, I should have cooked
 
@AnkitSharma heh

Q: Was Lenny's dance scene inspired by bond movies?

Gustavo GabrielIn Legion we have this dance scene performed by Lenny (Aubrey Plaza): Was this scene inspired by any bond movie's openning credits? This is the Goldeneye one: And The spy who loved me:

Q: German Movie about a washed up dad

user67715I remember watching a movie in my German lesson where a man who has broken up with his girlfriend, who he has a kid with, has to look after the kid when the mom goes out of town. He is broke and his daughter accidentally burns down the house trying to make dinner. Stuck for money, he is forced t...

Q: Movie about a woman whose brother dies in war

Why NotPlease help me remember which movie this is: The main characte, a woman, her brother dies in a war Her brother's war buddy comes back and pursues her She has a husband and son Her husband dies saving her son The movie was in color, from 2011 (maybe 2010 or 2012) I think.

Q: Why did they abandon everything Star Wars in Rogue One?

user00001The original 6 Star Wars movies' theme song is an iconic piece of music that (IMO) is one of the greatest theme songs ever in movie history (go ahead, crucify me). There are also tons of very "Star Wars-ian" things e.g. the classic sound track the opening crawl lightsaber battles Jedi and the F...

 
6:48 PM
@Catija Well yeah. Blatantly OT is a different matter
@AnkitSharma There's no must here
@Catija That's not utterly wrong if you consider the proportion of questions closed by mods to ones closed by users
@AnkitSharma Yeah, them active flaggers
 
hmmm
 
@AnkitSharma mhhhh

Q: Psychological thriller involving woman in disguise

Cathal Moriarty-MilnerI saw a movie a good few years ago but I cannot remember the name of it at all. It was a psychological thriller. I'm almost certain it was made in the 2000s. Set in America. There is a woman on the phone in her apartment in one scene near the beginning. I think someone belonged to her dies or ...

Q: When did Oliver get replaced?

DForck42In the movie we eventually discover that humans are being replaced by "blanks." Later in the movie it turns out that at some point Oliver was replaced with a blank, but I don't think it's shown on screen. When does Oliver get replaced by a blank?

 
8:09 PM
@NapoleonWilson I don't feel like getting into in the comments, but I disagree
on the 24 question
and hello @iandotkelly
 
@DForck42 That's your good right, of course.
 
@NapoleonWilson :-D
although the close vote queue isn't ALWAYS the best judge for on-topicness, it's got 3 votes currently
 
Well, I'm sure it easily looks like a purchase request.
 
@NapoleonWilson you haven't been around as much the last week or two, everything going ok?
 
@DForck42 Yes, I have a new job.
 
8:16 PM
@NapoleonWilson ahh, congrats!
what cha doing now?
 
@NapoleonWilson In Germany?
 
@Catija Yes.
@DForck42 Well, stuffs, softwares developingies.
 
@NapoleonWilson ooohs, whats langages is tese softwares developingies?
 
@DForck42 C++, of course.
Me be doing serious graphics thingies, me be going real language.
 
@NapoleonWilson oooh, such langauges, much good
(anyone reading this is gonna think we both had strokes, lol)
what graphics libarary/ies are you using?
 
8:23 PM
Primarily plain good old new OpenGL.
 
neat
I know enough about opengl to know I know nothing of opengl
if you can share, what kind of software are you doing graphics for?
 
Well, I admittedly don't know that much about DirectX, I have to say. But once you understand how modern hardware-accelrated 3D graphics work, they're not too dissimilar I would expect.
 
I dunno anything about directx :-D
 
@DForck42 It's basically for restaurators(?) and construction people. It's software for processing scans of real things and doing editing and measuring on them, which on the bottom line means handling rather big 3D point clouds and meshes.
 
@NapoleonWilson Restorers?
 
8:28 PM
@NapoleonWilson do you mean people that restore buildings?
 
Renovators?
 
@NapoleonWilson that sounds pretty cool
 
@Catija Or conserver? People working on old buildings and making them better, I guess.
As much as I gathered the primary clients are more like historical renovators than "practical" ones.
@DForck42 It's definitely fun.
 
neat
 
@NapoleonWilson Conserver (conservator) would imply that they are trying to return the building to its original state. If you're just redoing the building to modernize, that's more renovation.
 
8:30 PM
so are you gonna get to go in the field to test your software?
 
@DForck42 Probably not, they have enough field crew. In fact most of the employees are actual measurers(?) rather than devlopers and using the software i nthe field.
 
ahh ok
I'm just sitting here, trying to figure out why an ssis pack SOMETIMES does an infinite loop...
 
But I'm not that unglad about that. I'm not much of field study person. I like to do stuff that works on my PC since infrastructure to make it work is more of a nuisance to me.
That's why I'm not much of a good researcher afterall, I guess.
 
fair
 
I like to do stuff, rather than doing stuff in order to do stuff. ;-)
 
8:34 PM
lol
 
@DForck42 Well, I don't know what that is. ;-)
Oh, something SQLy?
 
@NapoleonWilson it's a Microsoft visual studio/sql server tool
 
I see.
 
allows you to build process flows for processing data
 
I'm glad my basic SQL knowledge is enough for my SEDE needs. Althogh, even that is not enough sometimes.
 
8:37 PM
for example, this particular process has a vb script that executes a stored procedure, checked the validity of that data, then sends it to a web service that then does other stuff
@NapoleonWilson I feel restricted by the SEDE tbh...
 
The whole web-development and service stuff always stayed pretty much of a mystery to me.
 
i dunno if there's an actual download of the movies database. if there was, I'd be all about querying that within a proper sql server
 
@DForck42 Well, there are data dumps, I don't know in what format, though. But they're still in the SEDE layout. You don't ever get the real data layout (although, it's likely similar).
There's also the actual SE API, but that's less database oriented (and I think has heavy usage restrictions in terms of queries per whatevertime).
 
yeah, it's just hard to really experiment with writing queries, especially complicated queries, against the data

Q: Proposal for a new type of question: Movie Recommendation

user00001I believe that we should create a new tag/question kind about movie recommendations. This is just an idea, don't hate me for it. I believe that, when asked well, a movie recommendation question can contribute to the overall knowledge of the site as users could look for movies that they might wan...

 
8:45 PM
@MetaReel Yeah...maybe not.
 
@NapoleonWilson congrats
 
Thanks.
The 1 hour drive is not the greatest thing, but I'm sure the Americans can just laugh about that. ;-)
 
@DForck42 lol
 
@AnkitSharma :-D
@NapoleonWilson my fiancée and i carpool to work 15 minutes
not even that if the traffic isn't bad
 
Well, my last job was a 5 minute walk. :'(
 
8:49 PM
@NapoleonWilson :(
did you quit your last job?
 
@MetaReel no but I think it's already said in better way so I can just upvote
 
@AnkitSharma Yes! I should have said earlier, Congrats on the job, @NapoleonWilson :D
 
But well, the drive doesn't exactly bother me, it's rather smooth, fluid and fast. And I negotiated to work only on 4 days a week.
 
@NapoleonWilson Ooof, didn't you walk to your last job?
@NapoleonWilson Longer days each day?
 
@DForck42 Yes.
 
8:50 PM
Anyway I should sleep now, long phone calls are tiring
 
@Catija Yeah, 10 hours instead of 8. But the additional day is worht more than the 2 hours at night.
 
@NapoleonWilson ahh. if you don't mind answering, why'd you quit?
@AnkitSharma gnight!
 
Yeah, you're saving two hours a week in driving and I'll bet that the longer day means that you have less traffic at least one direction.
 
Traveling for job is bit hectic for me, I always stayed near to my office. I have done enough share of long travel during my collage time
 
@DForck42 I just didn't really like it much anymore (and it also fitted with other life-developments). I'm not really made for academic research, I guess. ;-)
 
8:53 PM
@NapoleonWilson ahh
i once worked at walmart for 2 weeks
 
@Catija The traffic is pretty fine. They covered a large deal with motorway anyway (which means ~90-100 mph). And even the rest is rather open country.
 
left mid shift, no notice
 
@DForck42 Like, you just literally walked home and didn't come back?
 
@NapoleonWilson yup
 
How does that even work? Isn't there any bureaucracy involved?
 
8:55 PM
was SOOOOO frustrated
i think i was technically fired, but whatever
 
Some pin a message to this

Q: Brief outage planned for Wed, May 3, 2017 at 8pm US/Eastern (like a fire drill for computers)

Tom LimoncelliMicroVersion: Planned service degradation: All Stack Overflow/Stack Exchange sites read-only for 20 minutes on Wed, May 3, 2017 shortly after 8pm US/Eastern. If you blink, you'll miss it. Short version: There will be a service degradation for up to 20 minutes shortly after 8PM (US/Eastern) on W...

 
@NapoleonWilson yeah it just posts the link
 
@NapoleonWilson Meh, I was too lazy to write . . . yeah, that
 
Though, I'm not sure those 20 minutes are much of a big deal really.
Afterall, we had enough of these unanounced already. ;-)
 
8:59 PM
@NapoleonWilson Missouri is an at-will state: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment
 
@NapoleonWilson Well, the only way to ensure people won't be rushing to meta asking "OMFG WAT HAPPENEDZ"
Then again, they might do that anyway . . .
 
Wow. Well, I was already warned about the difference regarding emloyee rights when considering moving to the US.
 
@NapoleonWilson Well... you probably get put on "do not rehire" status... but it's not like they can punish you for it... you don't work for them any more.
 
@NapoleonWilson yeah, labor laws here are interesting
 
@M.A.R. Sure. (Or at least you have duplicate target for those question now.)
