Q: How To Prevent Hostile Minecraft Mobs From Spawning

BenoktMy minecraft fortress is continually plauged by mobs every night of all kinds, even though it has spider-blockers and is very well lit. It is in the middle of a desert and is open-roofed with a wooden floor. Mobs seem to spawn even in the most well-lit places (torches are the light source here) ...

Q: Can I start a game on one PC and continue on another?

RobIn A Dark Room is it possible to start the game on one PC/browser and then continue it on another? Are there perhaps files I can copy from one machine to another to continue elsewhere?

 
I am confuse, what is MO?
 
2:13 PM
@fredley for brain-melting levels of Maths
 
if a normal person can understand three in ten words of the question, it's off topic
 
@ShotgunNinja I get that, but is this a real thing?
Why is it a thing?
What?
 
so will they be merging with Math, or becoming their own site?
 
@Wipqozn Probably becoming their own site...
 
2:14 PM
Is it a legit SE site?
If so why?
 
@fredley SE 1.0
 
@Wipqozn Right
 
@fredley I don't think so, although clearly it oneboxes in chat...
 
@Wipqozn It got updated to SE 2.0 yesterday and will remain its own site
(afaik)
just like we have English Language and Usage and English Language Learners
 
@badp Wow, I was unaware that could even be done
 
2:15 PM
@fredley Took two years of work
 
I thought SE 1.0 sites were relics to be deprecated when 2.0 sites came along
 
but yeah, it's not the only SE 1.0 update
 
So SE has two properties: MO and Math.SE?
 
This was also an SE 1.0 site that got upgraded
(I'm not aware of other examples at the moment)
Some of the other successful SE 1.0 sites preferred to go their own ways
 
But why was it upgraded when Math.SE exists?
 
2:16 PM
because MO/MSE didn't want to merge?
Why do we have ELU and ELL?
 
1 min ago, by fredley
I thought SE 1.0 sites were relics to be deprecated when 2.0 sites came along
 
@Powerlord They deprecated their creation but the existing ones kept operating
 
@badp I don't understand
 
I think MO was the last one site that run SE 1.0
 
@fredley MO was Special(TM) and had a much stronger audience than most of the 1.0 sites
 
2:17 PM
SE 1.0 sites aren't part of the StackExchange network and I think it was explicitly stated that in order to be upgraded to 2.0, they'd have to become property of the SE network again.
 
Math.SE and MO have identical use cases though
 
@Powerlord that's what MO did afaik
 
Math just got stupider
 
@fredley basically afaik MO is for research level maths, while Math.SE is for everything else
 
@badp Right

Q: How to prove Arnold Conjecture without using S^1 localization?

user35353By the Arnold Conjecture, I mean the following statement: Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold, and $\phi:M\to M$ a Hamiltonian symplectomorphism with nondegenerate fixed points. Then $ \# \operatorname{Fix} (\phi) \geq \dim H_\bullet (M;\mathbb Q)$. The proof is via defining the "Floer...

> Let M be a closed symplectic manifold, and ϕ:M→M a Hamiltonian symplectomorphism with nondegenerate fixed points. Then #Fix(ϕ)≥dimH∙(M;Q).
I get "Let, be, a, and, a, with, fixed points, then" so it's kind of borderline acceptable I guess
 
@Powerlord MO is a bit of a special case for that, I think they have some sort of escape clause built in
seems like bits of the OUYA network is down, and it won't launch towerfall even though I bought it. umm, did I buy an always-on console?
That seems...suspicious
 
@BenBrocka Must be nice to have a "Get out of Disintegration Chamber free" card.
@BenBrocka You're surprised that the, what, $99 console is always on?
 
2:36 PM
@Powerlord Apparently their userbase was pretty freaked out about the move. I doubt they'll be disintegration chamber'd anytime soon though, I don't think they've ever shut down a live, gratuated SE 2.0 site yet.
@Powerlord It'd be pretty odd to me. But I have no idea, I don't have/don't plan on getting an Ouya
 
Android in general isn't always online, but the individual games might be
 
Yeah, no idea if it's how their online store/catalog works or just a glitch or what
it can sideload apps so surely those can run offline
 
tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/1416/mathoverflow-20/#Item_0 has a lot of odetails about MO if you're wondering
 
Is it time to go home yet?
 
Woah I just noticed it's .net
 
2:49 PM
now that they've obviously worked out a method of having sites with their own tld
time for arqade.com? cough cough

Q: Guild wars 2 Money problems

cjayIs there a good money making way in Gw2? help please

 
@badp Give it a bit, and the ".games" TLD will be a thing.
 
highly likely
 
2:51 PM
@kalina uh, stackoverflow.com has been a thing from day 1 and askubuntu.com has been a thing since very early in SE 2.0 history
 
I'm sure our meta post asking for the same was rejected because of <technical reason>
 
nope
They just don't want to.
 
FAVOURITISM!
 
Ask Ubuntu gets to have it because of a business parternship with Canonical
MathOverflow gets to have it because they've been MathOverflow since they started
 
time to girlcott stackexchange
 
2:53 PM
everybody else just gets a redirect, if any
 
@kalina You're just now noticing this?
 
@kalina ...no more tea with crumpets for SE?
 
@Powerlord shuttup non-arqadian
 
I had trouble reading "favoritism" correctly because of the extra U. Normally this isn't a problem... Today is not a good day.
 
@badp BY FIRE BE PURGED

@Fluttershy Nourmally this isn't a proublem?
 
Robert Cartaino on October 05, 2010

Friday night we rolled back the domain name of our first out-of-beta website. After less than 24 hours of existing on the internet, nothingtoinstall.com was reverted to its original public beta name – webapps.stackexchange.com.

We’re sorry for springing this on you at the last minute but – at least at the time – it felt like circumstances didn’t give us much choice.

With deep concerns about domain name choices for the 20+ ongoing public betas and some negative feedback about breaking up the network into smaller domains, we made the snap decision to roll back the nam …

 
@Powerlord Courrect. It uzually izn't a proublem.
 
@Powerlord That's why we Silesians just add an "u" in front of anything starting with an "o" to be sure (and sometimes in the middle of it too). Like "uojciec" (Polish: "ojciec", meaning "father") or "uopa" (German: "opa", meaning "grandpa"). ;)
Got to use those Us!
 
what about x's? :(
 
@MartinSojka We United Statesians (wow, how awkward, no wonder we usually say Americans) prefer dropping letters and changing s to z, re to er.
 
2:58 PM
@Fluttershy: if it makes you feel better, I'm dyslexic, and i've once stared for a whole minute at the word color and tried to work out what was missing ;p
@Powerlord: nothing separates the wayward children of the empire from her majesty's commonwealth like the language ;p
 
But sometimes we prefer using more complicated words, like "elevator" instead of "lift"
 
You guys call a boot a trunk right?
and a bonnet a... I can never remember what the americans call a bonnet
 
I believe the technical term is "go up box"
 
@JourneymanGeek Hood
Assuming that we're still talking about cars that is, since Americans still call the article of clothing a bonnet.
 
3:06 PM
Bonnet and boot? Really?
I guess bonnet almost makes sense, but boot? I don't store things in boots...
 
@badp A see a traffic argument that never seemed to get honoured
 
@kalina The traffic part was dropped later indeed.
They said "get on trilogy levels of traffic first, then we'll see". They then saw and decided, hm, still nope.
To be fair, they spent hundreds of hours to let us even come up with our Arqade identity
and when we did, they reskinned the site again
and sent more swag our way
and bought the domain
and set up redirections
 
I don't even like the name
this is gaming.stackexchange.com until they come up with a good name
 
That's because you haven't seen all the other ones
 
our logo is a heart, not a spaceship

Q: A new name for Gaming Stack Exchange?

David FullertonIn the past 3 months, Gaming has grown to be one of the largest sites in the Stack Exchange network.

Well, I heard that there are some people here with non-broken chromosomes ...
 
Wonder if confused Math users will end up asking their homework questions on MO
 
@badp XD
 
3:19 PM
Dudebro: My Shit is Fucked Up So I Got To Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time is a 2D sidescrolling shooting/slicing action game which is currently being developed by members of the NeoGAF community. The game is going to be released as a PC format game at a date yet to be announced. It is intended to parody modern military shooter video games, and contrary to its name, is not a sequel to any previously-released game title. Plot The game follows the story of B.R.O. Alliance Forces members John Dudebro and his sidekick, Habemus Chicken. At the start of the game a briefing with t...
That will make a great tag
 
dudebro-mwsifusigtssy-2-sudt is too long I'm afraid
 
@badp I dont' see how that's any worse than Arqade
 
@kalina I do
 
at least that suggestion involved real words
 
I hate words that aren't words. Like Arqade. Or AmericInn
 
3:21 PM
tell somebody to "go on arqade.com"
see if they end up at arcade.com
 
"arqade with a q dot com" is easier than "gaming dot stackexchange dot com without dashes"
 
"arqade with a q" ?
arcadeq?
qarcade?
 
I'm just like "here's this link"
 
arcade.q.com?
 
I don't tell anyone to come here, ever.
 
3:22 PM
@BenBrocka Google's been doing that for ages and it's worked out just fine
 
They'll just have @kalina set them on fire and @fbueckert close their questions.
 
if you google arcade, you do not get arqade
 
@badp not many people put dashes in their URLs anymore
it's annoying enough when they're in emails
 
@kalina Related: If you google "car", you don't get "aardvark"
 
3:23 PM
oh-god-how-do-i-computer@aol.com
 
@Sterno that's not even similar, "car" is not phonetically equivalent to "aardvark"
 
at any rate, until some genious brit from middle of nowhere, UK comes up with the Name of the Millennium, we're going to be Arqade
 
so take your attempt at being pedantic and shove it
 
@kalina Well, I pronounce Arqade as Ar - QA - duh
And no one can prove me wrong!
 
@Sterno I like the part where "duh" is in our name

Now I want a car shaped like an aardvark. A caardvark!
We can make up words like that, right?
 
A card of an aardvark?
Maybe you'd rather drive an aardvank
 
@Sterno sure we can! precedent: Arqade
 
@badp An Aardvark-shaped tank?

Q: What is the reason for the lack of Kayle junglers?

Adam AroldI used to play Kayle jungle around the start of Season2 and I wonder why she is not played there anymore? I mean she has all the skills to be a viable jungler: good crow control (slow) good movement speed buff fast clear (aoe damage) insane tower diving capabilities (ultimate) heal

 
We don't actually have a scope which is easily summed up with a single word or two, so it's fine to just make up words. For what it's worth, the site could be named lolcats.SE.

I really wish I had bought one last week when Best Buy had them on sale
 
user15026
@SaintWacko fingers crossed for you
 
@SaintWacko They were on sale again?
 
@Powerlord Yeah, $25 off all 3ds consoles
But I hesitated, and the opportunity was lost
 
3:53 PM
@SaintWacko And you missed it? Dummkopf!
 
@Powerlord Right
I fully deserve that
 
Granted, I bought mine during the first XL price drop
So, I have more prop hunt changes to test tonight.
Strangely, the only change I don't have to test is the bugfix.
Also, Firefox, stop highlighting the space after something when I double click a word.
 
I wish I could find it somewhere else on sale
I'd rather buy it from a store than eBay
 
Hmm, I never rebooted after upgrading TortoiseSVN
I should probably do that

Q: Are these Lucky Charms?

David StarkeyIn "A Dark Room" I noticed I can take a Charm when exploring. I never seem to run out of them so I take one every time. I have no idea what they do though. Are they Lucky Charms? Do they increase some kind of stat? Do they make you get attacked more? Less?

 
FAE
@Powerlord Yeah I hate that.
 
4:24 PM
@Powerlord Chrome does this too.

4:50 PM
@Powerlord I like that. It lets you move words around in your typings really easily.
 
@Ullallulloo Except when it doesn't, like when you have a comma or period somewhere, or even a simple apostrophe. Inconsistent behaviour is worse than bad behaviour.
 
@MartinSojka It can't select the space when there is no space. :P
 
@Ullallulloo It already recognises when I'm selecting a word (or a group of words: double click and drag). It could act appropriately and insert a space after the last word in the clipboard even if there is not one in the selected text in this case if the devs were concerned with helping "moving words around".
Though I'd prefer if it did it the PuTTY way: Double click to select a word, and just the word. Drag afterwards to select multiple words (with the spaces and punctuation between them)

FAE
@MartinSojka This is why it messes me up when it happens in my browser, because I'm used to PuTTY's method.
 
Jay Hanlon on June 25, 2013

It pains me when I hear people say that our sites are unfriendly, or that we chase new users away. But it’s a hard problem, because our highest priority has always been the quality of content on our sites.  And it still is. We can’t lower our standards. We won’t.

But we have been working hard to make our sites more welcoming, reminding users that feedback can be clear and nice, and helping new users learn the ropes before they get frustrated.  And, as of today, we’ve completely overhauled closing. …

 
5:07 PM
Incidentally, isn't that also how, you know, word processing software does it?
Also, I heard through the grape vine that I may be moved from my current project into doing app testing on a different project. Yay. :/
 
@Powerlord Word handles it like Firefox does when pasting into something else. If you're copying and pasting locally, then it has extra stuff to make it correct with spacing always.

......my goal today is to not kill anyone I know locally for being stupid over things.
 
user15026
If the University says you need course x to graduate, then you NEED COURSE X
 
user15026
also, if course X lists course Y as a prereq, you need to TAKE COURSE Y first
 
user15026
also, if you are doing something unorthodox, talk to the UNIVERSITY not your random friends
 
@AshleyNunn Nah man, your random friends know best.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Also, another friend is like "I can jsut walk in an take a random coutse right" and other friends are like "lol yes" and I am like "you want to take a random course without being a registered student? I dont know about hat"
 
5:32 PM
And also don't call the registrars office. Talk to whatever professor is in charge of student course thingies in your department.
 
user15026
and that just makes me a dream wrecker
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Thats what I said!
 
I'm not sure the actual name, but both universities I've attended had a professor for each department who would approve all course changes / odd things. They get the final say. They are the experts on what you need to be qualified to get your degree.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Yeah, you have like an advisor for your faculty or whatever
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, advisor sounds right.
And talk to the actual advisor too, not some other random professor.
 
user15026
5:35 PM
@Wipqozn This
 
Also, I thought you worked in the library for your uni,but it sounds like the admin office.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn For some reason when you end up working at the info desk in the library for an afternoon you get ALL THE RANDOM QUESTIONS
 
user15026
(It makes me realize I never want to work the desk again, I like my safe little lending department where I never have to talk to anyone_
 
@AshleyNunn It's probably the hair. The blue makes it look like you're an expert in random.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Next time I will wear a hat
 
5:38 PM
@AshleyNunn Or a helmet. Head butt the people who ask stupid questions.
@AshleyNunn You should try to go online with AC using your universities wifi.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn It is all landing page restricted, same as home

so it doesnt work

@AshleyNunn You can do landing pages on 3DS
I did them fine at Dunkin Donuts

@AshleyNunn You can still play the game solo though. I played the first 3 without ever having friends to play with.
 
I think we should just go to @AshleyNunn and rough up her room mates so they give her access to the router.

@badp I just kept it in my purse. Used it uesterday to melt open a package to get a USB phone charger out so I could charge my phone at the bus terminal.
 
@AshleyNunn You're a pyromaniac!
 
...what kind of packages do you have in Canada?
kalina brand?
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I'd rather use a pocketknife for that. Melting plastic fumes are ungood yo
 
Also smoking is lame. Glad you quit, helps maintain your high level of awesome.
@badp Maple syrup. That's all Canadians mail.
 
@Wipqozn That mustn't work well for USB

@FAE I was desperate and had no knife because my pocketknife is....somewhere not with me
 
don't you have like epic nails, or perhaps a pen.
 
user15026
@badp Those annoying sealed ones that need scissors
 
@AshleyNunn Probably 6-feet under in some guys chest. I knew you were crazy.
 
@AshleyNunn those are really annoying but I don't know how melting them helps <_<

@badp that would work...
 
@AshleyNunn A Shark package opener, or a more generic one like this:
 
you know. You should try and look into monocles with sharp edges
 
Carrying around @RavenDreamer in your pockets would be pretty awesome.

@Krazer don't they have handbrakes?
 
@badp they also have traffic
 
Anyone know if the options under File in Excel are worksheet specific or machine specific?
 
@Krazer it's always the fault of the cars that rear-end you.
@SaintWacko either!
 
@badp What?
 
I think there's a section that's specifically file specific, the rest's machine specific
that one should have a file dropdown in the header
...for versions of Excel sufficiently new to have Options under "File"
 
6:08 PM
@badp well the gif is cut in a weird way... the bus is already stopped when the camera shifts: liveleak.com/view?i=40c_1368663301
 
It was pretty confused.
 
most ppl would be too, if they jumped into the bus like that
 
they wouldn't be confused, they'd be ran over
 
depends on height and timing of the jump
 
Would have been surprised if it were otherwise, really

When people who have your two-factor authentication are having issues like this, your security is basically non-existent.
 
so far the only Reader replacements even remotely bearable to use are feedly on the Web and gReader for Android, which piggy backs on Feedly
dunno about iOS
 
@Powerlord From "The company is in the process of notifying users who show signs of account compromise and who didn't use a two-factor "authenticator" to help secure connections." I assume two factor people weren't affected
 
@Ullallulloo oh, nifty. Thought he wasn't graduating for another week.
 
@BenBrocka which is strange because of this line:
 
6:29 PM
@BenBrocka From the '"The items purchased were two brawler white quality items and a white quality level 1 axe," one WoW player wrote here. "I have an authenticator and a relatively difficult password. What could have happened, and what recourse do I have? Will I ever see my gold again?"' I assume two factor people were affected.
 
> "The items purchased were two brawler white quality items and a white quality level 1 axe," one WoW player wrote here. "I have an authenticator and a relatively difficult password. What could have happened, and what recourse do I have? Will I ever see my gold again?"
 
Then again, they also don't mention if said authenticator was the physical fob, the Android app, or the iPhone app.
 
does it matter? they run the same industry-standard algorithm, you'd hope.
 
@badp One is a physically separate device, and the other two are things that could be hacked to get the key used to generate those numbers.
 
I mean, Google Authenticator also will happily deal with 2-factor authentication for Microsoft or Dropbox or Facebook or basically anything decent
same with Microsoft authenticator for WP8 or whatever Apple uses
is reminded of his own locked forever blizzard account
 
6:32 PM
The point being that unless it's a device issued by RSA Inc, who had one of their device to key lists stolen, a physical fob is a lot more difficult to crack.
@badp Locked forever? How'd you manage that?
 
@Powerlord Huh. Not sure why they're focusing on people without two factor then
 
@Powerlord well, it is regularly locked, and I have no games on it, and I don't remember what I used as my first/full name but I didn't use the real one
 
@badp Oh, well if it didn't have any games on it, then it doesn't really matter does it?
 
@Powerlord it's merely annoying.
It also makes me think 25 more times before creating a second one
 
@badp You can't recover it by email?
 
6:35 PM
@Powerlord they ask me what I put in as my full name first.
I have the value of the first name from an email
...I think
 
Weird, I thought battle.net had security questions.
 
They might me asking that afterwards
 
Anyway, I need to reboot at some point as Windows Explorer is acting funky.

Q: What content does the paid Magic 2014 version have that the free version doesn't?

AkylI just downloaded Magic 2014 on my Android device as a free app. Unfortunately, when you launch it you're asked you if you want to purchase the full game for $10. My question is: What is the missing content for the full version?

Q: What are the different places on the map?

David StarkeyI've noticed that the map has different types of landscape. Does this play into the game at all? I'm mostly concerned with combat in these places. Are certain enemies only in specific areas? Do some areas make you more likely to enter combat? For example, when entering a location designated ...

@badp Actually, it's a special timer for prop hunt, and technically I wrote it a month ago.
 
user15026
Whee its almost time to leave here and go pick up all my lovely vegetablessssssss :D
 
I used it to fix issues with Prop Hunt's timer being weird.
 
@Powerlord oh I never understood why that does the setup phase multiple times.
5 4 3 2 1 1:30 1:29 1:28 ...
 
@badp Because arena mode has a preround time.
And Prop Hunt extends that from the usual 5 seconds to 20.
Probably because you can only change classes during this time.
Anyway, my timer now goes from that countdown to a 30-second setup time. :P
So now, the prop team knows when the Pyros will be set free (it used to be you just had to KNOW that setup was 30 seconds)
 
user15026
...8 more minute
 
6:53 PM
Fun fact: Valve was lazy and the arena preround countdown is actually implemented as its own little mini-round. If you extend the time so it's longer than 10 seconds, you even get the "Mission ends in 10 seconds!" bit when there are only 10s left.
Oh hey, it's been a week. Time for a new Firefox version!
