@Zizouz212 Reasons to use Windows.
 
No! Never!
But I agree with that, Apple has literally no support for Java on OS X.
This toolkit is the only thing they have.
And the classes that they provide for dev use on integration (i.e. com.apple.eawt.Application and so on) are not documented at all, anywhere. Royally annoying.
sigh 50 rep drop on SO.
 
enderland goes to DV @Zizouz212
 
Whats?!?
Zizouz212 goes to DV @enderland
If the SO mods see that... They'll probably be thinking, who participates in a downvoting ring?!?
Does anyone know anything about osx development?
I assume no... Well if it interests you...

Q: How does Java load native NSImages?

Zizouz212I've been reading the OS X Java Developer Tools, in order to help make my application more "native" with the operating system. I found something interesting in this particular section. (emphasis mine) To load a resolution-independent tiff, icns, or pdf file from the Resources folder of your a...

 
Have a shameless upvote
 
lol
Thanks :)

We're getting far too many SU questions that are off-topic here.
@Ziz I've resized your ad.
 
 
4 hours later…
2:05 PM
@ArtOfCode was that actually from SU? The user doesn't have an SU account
 
2:35 PM
@Andy Oh, that's not what I meant. I mean it should be on SU, but was asked here.
Mods required, migrations required.
 
3:22 PM
@ArtOfCode Ah, thanks :)

Is it just me or are we getting a pretty big spike in traffic?
 
5:41 PM
@Adam Seems it. Can't tell though, got no analytics D:
 
@Adam What makes you think this?
 
 
1 hour later…
6:52 PM
@Zizouz212 More questions in a small amount of time, lots more votes on meta posts, etc.
 
Hmmm
Could be the ads
Some of them are already active
They're already active on arcade and sr
 
Hopefully that's what it is.
 
They're not the best of quality though
Errrrr two votes until I get a gold badge...
 
@Zizouz212 Where?
 
On Meta SE...

A: My chat room has been deleted without informing me and without telling the reason?

Zizouz212Your chatroom had been deleted due to inactivity. From the Chat FAQ: (emphasis mine) Rooms will exist indefinitely, so long as there is at least one person actively talking in the room. A room is considered worth retaining if it has more than 15 messages by at least 2 users. Rooms not w...

 
7:04 PM
Have a cheap upvote.
 
Ooohhh... Gold badge incoming :)
 
You're Welcome ;)
 
Ahaha
 
Is that Reversal, by any chance?
 
Yep
A fairly rare badge too
 
7:08 PM
Aye
Most posts that negative either have answers equally negative, or get deleted.
 
Well, it's Meta, so it's a little different. All the negative [feature-request]s and [support] requests normally have answers with a decent positive score, especially when the question is fairly... off
Waiting for caching to finally step in
 
@Zizouz212 Can take up to 24 hours.
 
Darn this stupid caching
 
Congrats on that glod
 
@Adam Didn't you post this loong time back?

Interior Design and Decorating

Proposed Q&A site for interior designers and decorators of all kinds to discuss anything from design styles, culture, and history to project management.

Currently in definition.

 
7:14 PM
Yeah. It got about 5 followers and then was deleted for being inactive.
 
For the month of inactivity right?
 
Yep
 
Solution: Biweekly posts on Reddit :)
I'm not joking
I posted once on reddit, and look at the graph

Urban Planning

Proposed Q&A site for government officials and experts involved with urban environments, including the planning and structure of cities and towns, transport networks, green spaces, infrastructure, smart cities and urban design.

Currently in definition.

Ooh, don't I look good in Gold?
 
@Ziz post it again, we could do with more followers.
 
Yep, I'm preparing something :)
Here was the last one that I posted:

A: Why are people so rude on stack overflow?

Zizouz212People won't be as nice when they see a title like this: Why the hell isn't this returning 0? It's not the most attractive of titles, and it definitely can come across as rude. Similar to the golden rule, treat people the way you want to be treated, it will make sense for you to be nice to ...

Seriously?
That got closed quickly
@ArtOfCode Should I post the link, or an actual text thing?
 
7:33 PM
@Zizouz212 The text post seems to have done pretty well. I'd do it again.
 
@ArtOfCode Alright. :)
?!?!?!? That question got an up vote, and my answer a down vote... Interesting.
 
@Zizouz212 SOCKS! RED ALERT! CALL THE SHOGS!
ALL 9 OF THEM!
 
hahaha
Alright, that answer's got +3/-2
And I think the question has +1/-8 Is something weird on this?
 
Why would it be weird?
 
@Andy Nah, I just find it slightly interesting.
 
7:37 PM
My guess is the downvotes are a product of the low question score. It's a dupe too, but doesn't looks like it was closed for that reason.
Plus, no one likes being called rude
 
Any one active on /r/buildapc or /r/gamingpc? Would either of those be open to a post about Hardware Recs?
 
@Andy Not me, but I can always go there :)
 
@Andy Nope, but have a read of the policies and see if they allow that kind of stuff.
 
K. Just tossing it out there. I've got to run. My Sunday is almost over :(
@ArtOfCode Sweet
 
7:41 PM
@ArtOfCode Reddit allows almost anything.
 
@Zizouz212 Aye, but some communities frown on advertising, so it's not appropriate everywhere.
 
@ArtOfCode Reddit is fairly lax on these things I find. You can post links, and make discussions out of anything there. That said, it depends on the way that you do it
 
@Zizouz212 Then go for it
 
Alright, so Urban Planning and Hardware Recs. Got it
 
Heh, you're our PR dude.
 
7:45 PM
:D
 
Link to your posts here so I can upvote them
 
Yep
Will do. I'm not sure what to write though...
@ArtOfCode What should I make the title for UP?
 
@Zizouz212 shrug
Use your last post as a starting point
 
Last title:
> Heard of Stack Exchange? Help start an Urban Planning Q&A Site!
 
Ye, start with that and change it a bit
 
7:54 PM
to...
 
yes
 
So make the title "yes". That will surely work out
 
Hah
Just move some words around and add "hell" somewhere in there.
 
God damn, woman. Get your recording audio straight.
 
@ArtOfCode Sounds like your having a fun time.
 
8:00 PM
@Zizouz212 Oh, so much fun.
 
Fixing other people's recordings is so much fun.
 
Friend has decided she likes my work on her music that I mentioned here.
Friend has sent me an entire 4GB USB full of recordings for various bits of work to fix and master to production quality.
 
Oh wow
 
May have to engage in a small discussion about what else I'm going to need.
Like, a studio background track. Like, money.
The last one was a sample. I might be doing special work because she's a friend, but I'm not wasting my week fixing her music for free.

Q: We need a better site description!

Zizouz212Proposal: Urban Planning As it stands, here is our site description: Proposed Q&A site for government officials and experts involved with urban environments, including the planning and structure of cities and towns, transport networks, green spaces, infrastructure, smart cities and urban des...

 
8:13 PM
I see it
 
Any suggestions?
Ooh, two up votes already
 
Aye, one of them mine
 
The other mine
 
oh lol, are you even following?
 
Urban planning?
Interesting
 
8:17 PM
Yep :D
 
I am not, but I like the idea of the site
 
Although I don't know if we can make a site work that requires experts in such a niche area
 
@Undo It's not really as niche as you think.
 
And that's going to be a rough one to come up with a scope for
 
I've got an idea...
- Infrastructure (e.g. Sanitation Systems, Watermains, Power Grids);
- Transport Networks (e.g. Highways, Cycling Routes, Public Transport, Reducing Congestion);
- Green Spaces (e.g. Trails, Forest/River Systems, Recreational Spaces);
- Public Spaces (e.g. Community Centers, Schools, Healthcare Centers);
- Urban Design (e.g. District Design, Character of Regions, Integrating Public Spaces with Urban Design);
- Sustainability (e.g. Historical Preservation, Area Revitalization);
- Smart Cities (e.g. Technology Integration, Operations Efficiency);
 
8:19 PM
@Zizouz212 Maybe not among Normal Americans, but SO attracts programmers.
How many programmers are urban planners?
 
That's a rough part about what I would think could be on-topic.
@Undo That is true. I'm kind of going all out with advertising and stuff.
@Undo But how many programmers are astronomers? :P
 
More of them, probably
Not saying it can't work, just that you have an uphill battle there
 
There's quite a few on SE from seeing profiles, but the biggest issue is that the majority of those people are transport planners. :/
@ArtOfCode How's this?
A while back, I started a [post here in this subreddit](reddit.com/r/urbanplanning/comments/3j3sm0/…) asking for support on starting up an Urban Planning Stack Exchange site.

New sites need a professional community to provides expert level questions and answers. This is a key part to the development of a site,  and I've been looking for experts involved with multiple aspects of Urban Planning to ask them to support the site in it's critical phases. I'm back hoping to find more experts who may be interested in developing such a site.
 
Sounds good to me
 
Alright, it's going out :)
@Cfinley Here ya go
Now for a HR reddit :)
 
8:27 PM
Every time someone links to SR on Reddit I have to nuke a whole bunch of answers on whatever they popularize
They're not very good at quality, from what I've seen
 
Ooh, that's likely a good point.
 
I'd hold off on Reddit until we have the ability to nuke stuff ourselves
 
I'm inclined to agree there.
Sorry @Andy :/
 
For example, I have a pending flag or two from Sep 30.
(on hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com/a/485/1, if anyone wants to weigh in)
 
Yeah, and the recent wave of new "public" questions haven't been the best...
 
8:30 PM
... right :P
 
@Zizouz212 Upvoted.
 
Can you see pending flags on sites with the old profiles?
 
@Zizouz212 On your own profile or one other peoples'?
 
On my own
 
yeah
 
8:36 PM
Whats? Wheres?
 
It's always been at /users/flag-summary/###
And linked to somewhere obvious, but I forget because it's been a long time since I've used a site with the old profile
 
Ah, thanks :)
Alright, pending custom mod flag for a couple weeks now.
 
Mod flags do tend to get left alone until sites have their own mods, I found.
 
On SR, CMs were fairly active in clearing out crap. Not so much here, that I've seen
Although I can't see deleted stuff, so don't know for sure
 
@ArtOfCode There are mods, but I realized that it's Area 51... -_-
 
8:39 PM
I've seen almost 0 deleted posts
Oh wait, it's 2k now isn't it?
 
@ArtOfCode Right
 
OK, I can't see either. When we get mods.
 
9:30 PM
I foresee a very large mass of tag edits once we have mods.
 
@Adam You can suggest them, hm, I just realized something
 
@Zizouz212 I've been holding off because the CMs don't seem to be too interested in tag cleanup right now.
 
How many people can review the suggested edit queues?
 
@Adam Feel free to do it. We just have to wait for mods and 4k users to actually apply them
@Zizouz212 2. Him and me.
 
Alright, then I'm going to be send a wave of them. Both of you can review it and it can be approved. :)
 
9:36 PM
Hey @Adam, you realise I've overtaken you again in rep?
@Zizouz212 Sure
 
haha, sounds like you and me in Open Source :)
 
@ArtOfCode O.O
Not for long.
 
@Zizouz212 Except I'm way ahead of you ;)
 
@ArtOfCode I would reconsider.
 
@Zizouz212 sigh. Do I need to explain serial voting to you? ;)
 
9:38 PM
Nah, I need to go on to a voting spree anyway. I'm kind of wanting to get a Vox Populi :)
 
It's all about the badges.
 
10:04 PM
hello!
I've got an i72600k and my motherboard recently had some problems. Should I just buy a new(old) 2nd gen motherboard or should I upgrade motherboard and cpu together? Will I notice a large difference with a cpu newer than 2600k?
 
Hello Paradox!
You'll definitely notice a big performance jump if you upgrade both.
The 2600k is a little old now and the newer ones have been improved a lot since then.
 
Thanks, in that case, I mainly do coding however I do game as well. I was fairly happy with the performance of my i72600k, yet I do not want to spend another $300. Would this be sufficient info for a recommendation?
 
Yes, just remember to include a list of specs you want in a new CPU or motherboard. If you don't have specs in your question, it will be closed.
And if you want to ask about a CPU and a motherboard, ask two individual questions.
 
So would clock speed, cores, and manufacturer be alright for a cpu?
and processor interface
 
10:44 PM
You should also include the pin number and the max price you'll pay.
