also: userscript-request custom stylesheets for SE chat

@Downgoat 10/10

also @Downgoat: you have pretty epic design sense. everything I've seen you make is always pretty nice looking, like gitgoat and the ppcg design userscript

you do a good job

Jan Dvorak

@Riker stylish

Riker

do any exist for se chat tho

Downgoat

@Riker :D thanks (though above is google form not my design :P)

Riker

oh I know

Downgoat

9:03 PM

@Riker community userscript has chat design

Riker

ik

Jan Dvorak

There are preexisting styles, or you could make your own.

Downgoat

I was working on an seperate chat userscript but HTML is really whacky on chat.SE

Riker

but something that allows you to import json or something to have different styles

"Why is this Cat vibrating?"

^ people don't know how to cat

Downgoat

@Riker >_> my brain is little cloudy with flu and all so please excuse any additional dumb thing I say

Riker

9:04 PM

it's cool

i have the flu also so same to you ;p

Jan Dvorak

@Riker I was hoping for a gaming.se question

Riker

lol

feature-request way to clear brain cache

Downgoat

Apple is supposed to be great at paying attention to UX and all but apparently the "Add" button in iTunes Connect (thing to submit app to app store) is grayed out and still clicks

Jan Dvorak

@Riker Reliable, or without severe side effects?

LegionMammal978

fəˈnɛtɪk

9:09 PM

@Downgoat It is clearly still working, they just are trying to keep people from clicking on it.

LegionMammal978

I see that SE's still working on the image migrations?

Riker

@LegionMammal978 lel tux

@LegionMammal978 the problem is because i.stack.imgur is down

but yes they are

Downgoat

@fəˈnɛtɪk not a HTTPS issue, i.stack.imgur is broken

Riker

@JanDvorak if I want side effects drugs are always an option

@Downgoat o_O

@Downgoat you mean legion nor f<schwa>

LegionMammal978

@Downgoat What's GitGoat?

Downgoat

9:11 PM

@LegionMammal978 best GitHub iOS client ever

it has goat in the name so the "best"ness should be obvious

Jan Dvorak

for the latter, there are various alcoholic beverages. Downing a bottle might be enough to knock you out (only try this at home), but YMMV. A tesla coil might work as well. And, of course, there's the sheer power of will.

LegionMammal978

Wait... iOS? Apple? document.querySelector`#input`.disabled=1

Riker

it's more likely to poison me as I'm under 150 lbs and 14 yo

Downgoat

looks like imgur is working for me again

LegionMammal978

Me too

Riker

9:12 PM

I don't think I can handle that much alcohol in 1 sitting

Jan Dvorak

@Riker ... oh. That changes ... stuff.

Riker

:P

@Riker Nap

Mmm. Nap sounds nice

@Riker locate a goat and pet it and all brain memory address will be set to 0xGOAT

o_O

TuxCopter

@LegionMammal978 Hah, I'm the only survivor of the outage

Riker

@Downgoat that doesn't sound like a good thing

@Mego that's only an option where it's not 95°F outside

TuxCopter

@Downgoat You mean 0x60A7

Tobi

`can i ask a question

Riker

;-; why is weather so borked

@Tobi sure

Jan Dvorak

9:14 PM

A scroll of amnesia should work, or a too high-level spellbook. In real life, an algebra textbook.

Anonymous

@Riker With benadryl, naptime is anytime

fəˈnɛtɪk

I wouldn't know, the firewall where I am blocks imgur already

Riker

@Mego already taking that

DJMcMayhem

@Downgoat hey BTW, one of my friends lives on a farm, and they just had baby goats born.

Riker

am not sleepy yet

@DJMcMayhem pix plz

DJMcMayhem

9:14 PM

I'm gonna go see them sometime soon, I'll make sure to send you a pic

Jan Dvorak

@Riker try algebra

Anonymous

Benadryl + sleepytime tea and I'm out within an hour

Downgoat

@DJMcMayhem :O please share pictures :3

Tobi

Is it normal to feel emasculated after having someone with a lower rank answer your question?

Riker

@JanDvorak am also doing that -1 would not reccommend

@Tobi not really

Downgoat

9:15 PM

@Mego all tea bags I have are caffeinated >_>

Riker

@DJMcMayhem ping me also plz

Anonymous

@Tobi No, and it's also not normal to refer to rep as "rank"

DJMcMayhem

Okay, haha

Riker

@Downgoat caffeine in tea is blashpehmy

Tobi

is it called rep?

Anonymous

9:15 PM

@Downgoat I have some jasmine green tea that is wonderful and puts me to sleep nearly instantly

Downgoat

@Riker ikr (so is sugar btw)

Jan Dvorak

I mean high school algebra - calculus and such. Adding numbers doesn't count.

TuxCopter

@Tobi It is called reputation

Riker

@Tobi it's called reputation, rep is short for that

Tobi

also

Anonymous

9:16 PM

@Riker ...you do realize tea is naturally caffeinated (with the exception of green and white tea), right?

Riker

@JanDvorak i am doing linear algebra hw right now

Tobi

rank makes more sense

Riker

> implying there is real tea that's not green tea

Tobi

also, how can I remove downvotes

from an ancient question

Jan Dvorak

As in, linear equations? Easy.

Downgoat

9:16 PM

@Mego herbal tea I sometime drink has 0 caffine

Anonymous

@Riker Uh, yeah, black tea is very common. Boston Harbor probably still tastes like it.

Riker

> real tea

Anonymous

@Downgoat Herbal tea is usually green tea

Riker

thou shalt not speak of black tea

fəˈnɛtɪk

Jasmine, oolong

Tobi

9:17 PM

also, how can I remove downvotes
from an ancient question

@JanDvorak 6x6 matrix inverse worksheet ;(

Anonymous

Irish breakfast tea, Earl Grey, etc

Riker

@Tobi you can't really

Downgoat

@Mego The one I drink is very brown (can't say for sure because I've never tried green tea)

Riker

if they don't like your question you can try to improve it but that's it

Jan Dvorak

9:17 PM

@Riker sounds like fun

Tobi

so is it downvoted for life

it has about 20 downvotes

Riker

then it's probably just a bad questoin

Tobi

because I was brand new, back then

Anonymous

Learn from your mistakes and do better :)

Tobi

I completely revised it recently

its about 2 years old

Jan Dvorak

9:18 PM

Not that old then

Anonymous

If a question is really old, it's usually better to just post the revised version as a new one and have the old one closed

Tobi

can i message the downvoters to upvote it

but then the downvotes are for life

Anonymous

@Tobi No, because you can't see who downvoted it

Tobi

because it wont get deleted

Downgoat

Does it have answers?

Tobi

9:19 PM

it has 1

can a mod remove the downvoes

the guys with the diamonds

in their name, theyre mods right

Anonymous

@Tobi Yep. But you can easily make up for the downvotes with new, good quality content. One upvote is worth twice the positive rep than a downvote is worth in negative rep.

Anonymous

@Tobi Yes they are mods, no they cannot tamper with votes unless there is serial downvoting, vote brigading, or sockpuppetry going on.

Tobi

oh that happened to me recently too

Anonymous

And even then they can't directly mess with the votes - they can only remove the users

Downgoat

@Mego and up to 5x in the case of answers

Tobi

9:20 PM

someone downvoted 4 of my posts in a row

across different sites, too...

Anonymous

@Tobi If the SE system didn't catch it, then it's probably not serial voting. It could've been 4 different people.

Tobi

they were literally within 2 mins of eachother

and before that, I had no downvotes in like weeks

Anonymous

2 minutes is an eternity on the internet

Jan Dvorak

You can hope for the rollback script to catch it

Tobi

whats that

a hack?

where shoulod i download this script

Jan Dvorak

9:23 PM

You can't. It runs on the server.

Tobi

how do i trigger it

should i upvote on multiple accounts

so the server can see that theres injustice in question

Riker

you can't, it triggers automatically

Anonymous

The rollback script is automatically run by the SE system at UTC midnight. It detects voting fraud and corrects it.

Tobi

is it like a robot

Riker

yes

Tobi

9:25 PM

that watches votes

Riker

@flawr @Maltysen either of you know of any good online resources for learning calculus?

Tobi

like i-robot Artificial intelligence

Anonymous

4 downvotes on 4 posts across different sites in a few minutes isn't really serial voting

@Tobi not if you haven't learned it yet

@Riker Yep

@Downgoat how is it looknig?

Riker

9:26 PM

not right now though

Tobi

wait how old r u

Anonymous

@Riker I'm not one of the ones you pinged, but Khan Academy's calculus course is good

Tobi

ur prob older doing more advanced math

Riker

hm, okay, I'll look at it

@Tobi 14

:p

Tobi

oohh nvm...

Anonymous

9:27 PM

MIT OCW is also good, but much more advanced

Riker

hm, I've heard good things about that

Tobi

dont watch it yet

Riker

@Mego I'll look at both, thanks

Tobi

its too much

Anonymous

I learned from MIT OCW when I was in high school

Riker

9:27 PM

oh cool

betseg

Wat

Riker

@Tobi I've got a pretty good idea of where I am, thanks

@betseg what's wrong?

betseg

@Riker I was reading about Newton-Leibniz controversies

Anonymous

@Tobi That's really not appropriate

Riker

ah

betseg

9:28 PM

Came here and you're talking about calculus

Riker

haha

Tobi

i finished calculus at 15

Riker

@Mego sigh gone now

Jan Dvorak

@Tobi he doesn't use textspeak, though, and you do, so he wins by default

Riker

@betseg it started with me looking for a place to learn calc

Anonymous

9:29 PM

Also @Riker if you have any calculus questions, I'd be happy to help

Riker

thanks :D

also, for reference:

Anonymous

I minored in math in college and learned way too much about calculus in the process :P

Riker

are you also tobi?

@Mego you are perfect for PPCG :)

Riker

9:30 PM

@Mego huh, that pinged me with a new time of notice

Doorknob

@Tobiq 1.) Be Nice. 2.) Using alternate accounts to circumvent a suspension is against the rules, so I'm suspending this account for the same duration as your other one.

Lembik

I am wondering about math.stackexchange.com/questions/2186041/… as a PPCG challegne

Anonymous

@Lembik Thanks lol

Lembik

anyone got any smart ideas about how to do it for bigger n ?

TuxCopter

Woah

Riker

9:31 PM

@Tobi what happened originally was somebody found your message offensive. They "flagged" it, for high rep users to look and determine whether it was offensive. They apparently agreed, so your account was chat-banned for 30 minutes.

also, using alt accounts to circumvent bans/suspensions for any length of time is also against the rules, please don't do that.

@TuxCopter o_O

Thomas Ward

@Riker And is going to earn you a very heavy slap.

Riker

lol here comes blues

but yeah, he's right

<shrug> no lasting harm done, just don't do that sort of behavior again

Anonymous

@ThomasWard Yep, we bring out the big trouts for ban evasion

Riker

you might even get hit by a halibut for that

Thomas Ward

Or a tungsten carbide rod from space. But we save those for supreme evildoers ;)

Riker

9:34 PM

@Mego also, generally you go differential calc -> integral -> multivariable, right?

DJMcMayhem

how about an eel?

3

Riker

@ThomasWard ... such as people who use tickers?

@DJMcMayhem this is freaking beautiful

betseg

@Riker Thats where you get reported to if you use sudo without being in sudoers

Riker

I mean liking the ticker is worse than all else but that works too I guess

Anonymous

@Riker More or less. For me, integral calc was part of Calc I (but only a little). It got more in-depth in Calc II (along with stuff like sequences, series, and numerical differentiation and integration). Calc III was multi-variable. Next came Differential Equations, and finally I rounded out my math minor with Numerical Methods.

@Mego oh, cool

@DJMcMayhem I have mod powers I can undo that heinous act ;p

@Riker And we have flags for reporting abuse of mod powers :P

Yay, I created my first golfing language - well, actually, it is just an includable library :-D

Q: how can I make a python script that reads a text file from (. rar.zip.tar) without extracting it!

so I am going to create a small website for cracking WPA handshake and I am going to use a free hosting website with a 1gb stage so I had to compress the wordless and I need to make a script that reads the lists from a tar file, and I want to know if that's going to work or not help please!!

Anonymous

@DJMcMayhem Could you also have an old-timey radio announcer voice dictate them?

TuxCopter

@NewMainPosts .rar.zip.tar???

Downgoat

@Riker what is wrong with tickers

they were great on iGoogle

Adám

@TuxCopter That's very compressed.

Riker

9:38 PM

many many things

DJMcMayhem

@Mego Ooh, I like that idea. Maybe that could be a userscript

Anonymous

The guy from Legend of Korra would be perfect

Lembik

is there a chart for the time to close inappropriate questions by time of day?

Riker

@Mego maybe have the wheatley voice do it? from portal 2

@Lembik no but that would be really cool

TuxCopter

@Adám They forgot the .gz.bz2.7z

Lembik

9:39 PM

@Riker anyone clever here know how to do it?

@Riker Can you unfreeze APL?

a bunch of the other mods can do it also
