@NathanOsman Yeah my best ones are usually 2000 words long and caused by specific points of caffeine-related mental degeneration. Such a waste.

Hi @WillHunting!
 
user19161
@Seth I have just edited all my math posts to my satisfaction the last few days. I am ready to delete my account now...
 
Kinda early isn't it?
Wasn't it end of April?
 
user19161
Yeah, I'll go sleep, think about it, and then decide later. I finished early, lol...

Q: How come the override_dh_build-indep sequence isn't run by debuild?

Nathan OsmanI'm having a bad time trying to generate some documentation for a shared library within debian/rules. I asked a question earlier about which target to use for generating the documentation. My problem now is that the target override_dh_build-indep isn't being built when I run debuild. I inserted ...

Having a bad day :P
 
12:20 AM
Sorry about that :)
 
@EliahKagan around?
 
@Oli Should this be merged with it's dupe? askubuntu.com/q/83771/44179
 
@jrg are you around?
 
It takes like 20 minutes for pings to turn into Global Inbox Notifications.
 
@oli askubuntu.com/questions/12208/… this does not work >:)
2 years too late I know >:)
 
yeah was reading that _O-
it makes this one obsolete: askubuntu.com/questions/270880/… >:)
HA! it also happend with 10.04 >:)
Jorge ftw >:D @nathan
 
Despite there being 1267 users in the #debian IRC channel, not one of them answered my question :(
 
I hate it when that happens.
 
IRC sucks for support, you know that. :)
 
the one about build-indep?
1267 lurkers? >:)
 
12:36 AM
@JorgeCastro I certainly do... but I've already asked the question on AU - I'm just waiting for an answer :)
 
Just seen in the #debian IRC channel:
> "Any hazards in living very close to cemeteries?"
 
@JorgeCastro Only 457
 
GET TO WORK
 
@JorgeCastro It's nice of you to yell at yourself :)

I am rate limited already
I wish we could just shove queries like this in the review queue
@MarcoCeppi Over 1000 when you add them all up though
 
1:07 AM
damn
 
closer to 1200 actually
what to do?
I mean, I could start flagging ...
but I only have 40 something
that would at a minimum get us a full percentage point cough
 
I wonder what SE would think of an automated tool that flagged stuff?
Of course, it would also be limited to 40 flags per day - but we could have it keep track of a "queue".
Then it would automatically flag 40 items per day until the queue emptied.
Just a thought.

Q: Let the community add a few data queries to the review queue

Jorge CastroIn the old days before the review queue I've used data.se to help with my own personal "review queue". I would grab certain queries and just use them to help data mine things. This sucked because after a few weeks, the dumps were out of date. But now they're weekly. So ....... Here's an example,...

@MarcoCeppi I can start flagging if you want
I am hoping for "actually there's a button that lets me do all that." :)
 
@JorgeCastro don't even bother. We might as well just jump through the search query
save for flags for other things
 
well, my votes are already gone
all I have left are flags
Our AR seems to be holding steadily though
 
jrg
1:53 AM
@JorgeCastro yes?
dropped to 74, we were at 75 earlier.
 
Well, 74.6%. Close enough.
 
jrg
basically. ;P

Q: Ad hoc review queues

HanneleI propose the ability to request ad hoc review queues - to highlight a problem that requires a concerted effort to solve, but doesn't occur often enough to merit a permanent review queue. It would require a clear description of the problem, a list of proposed fixes, and a certain threshold of pos...

Support that feature request.
 
2:32 AM
hell yes
 
2:54 AM
Is it just me.. or is the site rather.. slow?
(right now)
 
Not for me.
 
Huh
It's really not working on this end.
Gravatars aren't loading especially.
Works again.
 
3:27 AM
 
I couldn't resist a humorous comment.
 
I consider it malformed spam
 
bueno :-)
 
So I flagged instead of voting
 
I am so going to comment like that on every new spam question we get :)
Give the spammer the benefit of the doubt... :P
 
3:35 AM
Have you tried sudo apt-get install kootradeshop
might as well have a bit o' fun while the Q lasts. There is no harm in that, right?
 
Right.
 
I might not have typecast it as spam if his site url in profile didn't match the "is this legit" question
 
Yeah, I noticed that too. It's a terrible attempt at spam.
The keywords "koo...whatever" are going to be associated with "legit".
 
I wonder if I put that as an answer if the OP would accept it...
 
That would be... special.

3:53 AM
@NathanOsman - is there a question on site for installing Qt 5.0 on LTS?
I thought you might know since Qt is sort of your thing.
 
I'm not sure if there is such a question.
But if someone asks it, I'll definitely answer it.
 
A quick search didn't turn it up, so here it is: askubuntu.com/questions/279421/…
 
4:08 AM
@NathanOsman thanks. I'll accept it when I can. You may get rep-rocketed by that one as UbuPhone matures
 
4:19 AM
appears
Great!
It appears that BSNL has banned reddit.com
 
4:30 AM
I used up all of my close votes for the first time.
 
too many ponies stealing their bandwidth?
@AmithKK Seriously. Is that your ISP? They blacklist sites just like that?
 
I dunno
If it's them
amith@braveheart:~$ ping www.reddit.com
ping: unknown host www.reddit.com
What's the IP for Reddit?
 
here's an akamai IP for them: a659.b.akamai.net (165.254.99.49)
 
Invalid URL

The requested URL "/", is invalid.
Reference #9.2d63fea5.1365482132.1c55ec3
Hmm
It uses virualhosts :/
 
lame. sorry.

A: Shortest code to determine if a string is a palindrome

Amith KKPython 3/2 62 chars: def pld(i): pl=[c for c in i.lower() if c.isalpha()] return(pl == pl[::-1])

@NathanOsman Is it possible to golf this more?
It's 59 chars now :P
power cut
cya
BBL
 
@AmithKK That's pretty good... but does isalpha() take Uncode into account?
 
Does it actually need the def line, btw?
Seeing how the technical requirements say "body only".
 
5:18 AM
Well, my personal opinion is yes - the def needs to be there for clarity. It just doesn't need to count towards the total.
Of course, that will throw off my script.
 
Yup.

Q: Python isalpha() and scandics

user250765Is there a way to have python isalpha method understand scandics? I have tried the following: >>> import locale >>> locale.getlocale() (None, None) >>> 'thisistext'.isalpha() True >>> 'äöå'.isalpha() False >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,"") 'Finnish_Finland.1252' >>> locale.getlocale() ('Fin...

I want to learn django
but I don't really have the "OMG I need this for project X" thing
The thing is. All the projects I wanna do with django are sorta complicated.
Which I need to make a basic broject first
 
I have the perfect answer for you.
Grab the 2buntu source from BitBucket and start looking over it.
Then when you feel confident, start adding tiny features to it.
In fact, didn't I already help you get it up and running on your machine?
 
Oh, It runs :P
Tiny features?
lemme start from here
Wish me luck :P
dives into django
@NathanOsman Do I have to learn SQL first?
I think I know how to do db's graphically.
(MS Access exp)
 
6:40 AM
No, Django takes care of the actual SQL queries for you.
However, any knowledge of how SQL queries are structured will certainly help.
Most queries are as easy as:
rows = model.objects.filter(title__contains='something')
...for example.
 
cool!
 
7:16 AM
Night all.
 
@NathanOsman Good Night
 
morning
 
@Rinzwind Good Morning!

Naaaaah bro XD
I'm perfectly sane. Yup. Tell myself that every morning. o_o
 
That is the first sign of insanity.
 
and clucker
SCREW YOU
 
Nah, the first sign of insanity is denial. I'm at the second sign.
@AmithKK :(
 
There is no such thing as denial.
 
9:43 AM
@Mochan To clucker, not you :P
 
@AmithKK Oh XD
 
That badnik is just really really annoying
 
@FEichinger .-.
 
> Clucker hides within a turret waiting for intruders. When Sonic or Tails come into its vicinity, it pops up from its turret and shoots cannonballs at them. Their cannons can only shoot forwards, but they can still take the player by surprise.
 
@AmithKK idek wut that means
 
9:44 AM
@AmithKK It's the Chicken Dalek!
 
@AmithKK oh lol
 
@FEichinger hahahaaha
 
@AmithKK Sadly, I could imagine Moffat do something like that.
 
I have to learn math from tommorrow evening
 
damn
 
9:45 AM
Our tution is coming up with this great web based idea
Like...
As soon as you learn something
you have to take a test on the tab
 
SHARE IT ON TWITTER!
 
with the results getting live beamed to your parents
 
wtf
 
(on the webui)
 
twitter is better >.>
 
9:46 AM
And being compared
 
o_o'
 
and statistically analyzed
this is why I'm learning Django
 
kk
 
I want to show off how much better it would be if it had been written in python :P
 
eating with one hand, typing with the other
 
9:47 AM
I do that quite alot.
 
@AmithKK well do it. merit ftw
 
That's the kind of stuff I'd respond to with "my moral values just don't allow that, so screw it".
 
I used to eat with both hands and use speech recognition
 
@AmithKK One-handed typing? I see. I see.
 
DragonNaturallySpeaking
Oh no
 
9:48 AM
@FEichinger I respond with: "meritmeritmeritmerit"
 
what have I done
 
@AmithKK :O
 
@Mochan Screw merit. That's not the way stuff's supposed to go, and I'm not gonna help it.
 
Fish was hard-ish to eat

Solution: Don't use Facebook.
 
@FEichinger That would make me a hipster
 
9:54 AM
@AmithKK LOL

@AmithKK No. Hipsters "totally don't like Facebook!" but "have to use it because friends"
 
I think I got deal with it
 
@FEichinger -1
facceeboook
 
Reasonable people, on the other hand, have the guts to, you know, actually avoid it.
 
I'm not reasonable?
 
9:56 AM
Not really, but that doesn't have anything to do with Facebook use. :P
 
yay?
 
As I said before: You guys are crazy!
