@Geobits This is exactly why I tend to answer questions when your profile states you've been offline for > 2 hours

user207712

Geobits

@Bas Because I deliver awesome eulogies?

Bas

@Geobits Okay maybe not exactly, was referring to your habit of downvoting

user207712

@Bas lol

@DJMcMayhem Yes.

But too late now. :P

quartata

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Go give upvotes. This is amazing.

that was the link I meant to post

@quartata huh?

@NathanMerrill This is fun to play on Piano Tiles.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Nathan Merrill

that arrangement or the actual song?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

arrangement probably.

Geobits

Well, it's just the melody really, not that arrangement at all.

Dennis

@Mego Done.

Geobits

2:16 PM

It also has the feature(?) that allows it to stay lodged in my brain for hours after playing.

ArtOfCode

oh that, yeah done

quartata

@ArtOfCode My what is this place question cannot be deleted but it still gives me back the rep I lost to downvotes

Nathan Merrill

@Geobits well, I've now listened to the above arrangement 4 times in a row today, so there's no way it's getting out of mine

ArtOfCode

@quartata Yeah, I just fixed that. Running a recalc now.

done

quartata

also I have no idea how you people have any rep at all

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

2:17 PM

is mine still at 1000000?

quartata

everything I post is downvoted into oblivion and I don't find it funny :(

ArtOfCode

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ nope

@quartata I'm good at that game

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

aw

quartata

@ArtOfCode did you see my thing about Miaou integration

ArtOfCode

@quartata Yeah, what is it?

Nathan Merrill

2:19 PM

they actually do something clever at the end of their videos: Rather than interrupt your music with "subscribe, like" talk, they simply show signs with music in the background

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ArtOfCode is the admin console in progress?

quartata

chat server that is very similar to SE chat but better

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

^

has tribo

Nathan Merrill

that way, if you are listening, the music goes on, and if you are watching, you still get the prompts

ArtOfCode

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ admin console?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

2:20 PM

the thingy to nuke accounts

Due to a ~~meta~~ main consensus, @quartata's account should be nuked.

zyabin101

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ No, it shouldn't.

ArtOfCode

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ oh

I'm hesitant to deploy that one with so many admins... I envisage chaos.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

then make a new status

owner

ArtOfCode

Yeah, but admins should be able to delete accounts

zyabin101

Then demote them to mods, and make yourself the only admin.

ArtOfCode

2:22 PM

or that i guess

Mars Ultor

@ArtOfCode Or make the rank system permission-based

zyabin101

Not as good as the other solution, but.

ArtOfCode

@MarsUltor huh... I wonder if I could ab use my existing privilege system for that.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@zyabin101 your prime pyth solution doesn't work for avocad

zyabin101

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Avocad is not a number.

El'endia Starman

2:24 PM

@ArtOfCode "envisage" is a cool word.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@zyabin101 but is test case

ArtOfCode

@El'endiaStarman that it is

Mars Ultor

@ArtOfCode IDK, I'd think it'd be something like each rank has certain permissions, and then you can override specific permissions

quartata

@MarsUltor That isn't really the problem. The problem is that even regular users are going nuts vandalizing everything

2

ArtOfCode

@MarsUltor currently it's set up so that each user has a list of privileges... I could create privileges for deleting accounts, just without a rep threshold, and apply them to accounts manually.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

2:26 PM

that would work.

@quartata >_>....

ArtOfCode

but also effort

much better just to let admins do it

Mars Ultor

@ArtOfCode You probably still need ranks though, so you can tell users apart in terms of general control

ArtOfCode

@MarsUltor I've got privileges for things like editing and deleting, and there are moderator and admin roles. That probably covers it, really.

Bas

2:28 PM

Ok, so somebody answer this seriously: Is the site supposed to be in "terrorize/test everything" mode? When I signed up, that was my assumption, judging by the current content.

ArtOfCode

@Geobits yes

zyabin101

When it will go production?

Geobits

So is "regular users vandalizing" a problem right now then?

ArtOfCode

I'm editing things after a while if they're really annoying (cough zalgo cough) but apart from that, anything goes

Geobits

Ok.

ArtOfCode

2:29 PM

@Geobits no, not at all. But if I deploy account destruction tools and admins start messing with those, we have issues.

and I'd really rather not have to rip admin privileges away from people because they're dicking around

Geobits

Right, right. The admin stuff I get. I meant all the other shitposting going on.

quartata

Hmm what symbol should we have on admin names

AVOCAD EMOTICON

ಠ

Maybe two diamonds?

2:31 PM

@Geobits Yeah, that's really not an issue. I basically invited it :)

@quartata find some clever Unicode symbol, preferably with a HTML entity.

Bas

@ArtOfCode Something like this?

ArtOfCode

yeah but probably not a snowman

Bas

@ArtOfCode Rip hope and dreams

@TimmyD just about to suggest that.

@quartata, does this mean you're planning on implementing it?

How about moderators get ⛉, and admins get ⛊?

TimmyD

2:36 PM

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Looks like a box to me.

Bas

@ArtOfCode Looks like 2 boxes to me

ArtOfCode

⛉ and ⛊

@Bas shields, they'd work with HTML entities

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

They look like the HTML 5 shields :P

Bas

Wow, I'm on the starboard thrice, finally I'm going somewhere with my life

ArtOfCode

HTML5 shield has a pointy top, IIRC

@Bas we can fix that. clears stars

Q: Behaviour on different computers

Whilst answering questions, is it Ok to use functions/bits of code where the output will be different for some computers? For example I was thinking about adding a new time type to PYKE where the input could be in the form natively used by the computer (see here) %c - Locale’s appropriate da...
