Another canonical question when more details come available is SDK, how to install it, and use it

Q: Are questions about running Ubuntu Mobile on X smartphone on topic?

With the announcement of this Android based Ubuntu derivative some questions other than what it was have started to pop out, such as "I have X brand of smartphone, will it run Ubuntu Mobile?". I consider this questions off topic on the grounds that are about an unreleased, just announced, no dev...

@MarcoCeppi the elastic search for AU landed

AWWWW YEAH

Marco Ceppi

iSeth

I don't.

jrg

10:14 PM

AWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!!! :D

mateo_salta

nice search! It might need some prettying up, maybe bring back the circles with the votes and colors

jrg

yeah, but it's still good.

Marco Ceppi

It helped me find some meta answer

whereas before I'm sure it would have taken forever

mateo_salta

wild cards still aren't so great

Q: Why are questions explicitly permitted by the FAQ closed?

I have had questions explicitly permitted, and certainly not prohibited by the FAQ closed multiple times. The most recent one, related to Ubuntu One (which can be found here) Is permitted in the FAQ: -Services provided by Ubuntu -Any question not mentioned below or here are great! There are no...

discussion close-reasons

jrg

eh, elasticsearch is pretty good.

mateo_salta

Is there a way to get the wild cards to work with single words, say a word beging with U and ending in U like "Ubuntu" by using u*u It seems not to keep it as a whole word

jrg

not sure.

mateo_salta

It's doing something... but it just removes the ? askubuntu.com/search-new?q=u?u

jrg

askubuntu.com/search-new?q=%22u*u%22 maybe? idk

askubuntu.com/search-new?q=%27u*u%27

mateo_salta

10:37 PM

it takes that literally and searches for the symbol "*"

jrg

this new search will be something I will have to explore more over the weekend, this is very interesting.

Marco Ceppi

Hats go away tonight.

mateo_salta

cool, using the - sign works askubuntu.com/…

jrg

yeah, time to get a screenshot of me wearing each of my hats

Marco Ceppi

@mateo_salta if you find foul language, just edit it out. It really doesn't need to be flagged.

jrg

10:46 PM

oh crap

we're almost at midnight UTC

emails about work can wait, I NEED TO GET ME SOME PICTURES OF MY HATZ

iSeth

ah. does it operate on UTC time?

jrg

yeah

everything does around here at SE

and in computers (generally).

iSeth

that explains the weird time schedule.

Marco Ceppi

@mateo_salta also don't flag questions that have accepted answers for closing. If it has an accepted answer it's pretty much fine (unless it's like a duplicate or somethign)

@jrg @iSeth I forced myself to use 24h time just so I could schedule things better

jrg

@MarcoCeppi last time i didn't use 24 hour time, i was having serious issues.

iSeth

10:48 PM

hmm, good idea.

jrg

and my friends all thought i had come back to my senses.

which we obviously can't have.

Marco Ceppi

I've found it a lot easier now that I've adjusted. My friends still hate me though. "What time is it bro" "20:00" "FUUUUU"
