Okay, sone stuff is just different enough that I am going to have to relearn how to use my phone in some ways and that's gonna be...fun. Also, stuff like the clock is now blue background instead of black and that's just weird.
 
Most of the changes are visual. The biggest change is the notification drawer and the quick settings area
Annoyingly Sony didn't bring their location based wifi from 4.x over to Lollipop
It was so useful I didn't even realize it was a Sony thing
 
@AshleyNunn Android upgrade?
 
Yeah, she just got Lollipop on her phone
 
@PrivatePansy if you have Tasker, it's trivial to do
Hell it was trivial to do in kit kat
 
The lack of Silent mode is hard to deal with
 
1:09 PM
You're hard to deal with
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, but Sony phones with 4.x, it's literally just a switch you flip on the settings, and the phone does the rest
@fredley Just reduce the volume to zero to get silent mode
 
@PrivatePansy No, it still vibrates
You cannot (as you could previously) go one step lower from vibrate to silent
At least not on stock Lollipop
 
Switch to no interruption mode?
That should silent everything
 
Yeah, which prevents notifications coming up at all
 
Hmm, it does? I thought it just silents them
 
1:10 PM
For me, I have it such that of a registered network is near, turn on WiFi. It doesn't even have to toggle it every few minutes either
 
@PrivatePansy Options are 'normal' (all notifications, no silencing) 'priority' (some notifications) or None (nothing at all)
There is no way, afaik, in stock lollipop to have notifications happen, but happen without any kind of buzz
 
Huh, I thought those just controlled whether the notification generated sound, and not whether the notification showed up on the bar
 
@Wipqozn That actually makes it funnier in my eyes
 
Yeah, the notification still shows up.
 
@PrivatePansy Oh ok
Confusing
 
1:14 PM
No interruption and priority mode just turns off the sound and vibration for all and some notifications
 
So no interruption is the same as silent mode from previous versions
 
@fredley Like US courts, it seems EU courts are biased against foreign companies.
Actually, did Samsung win that last case against Apple?
 
All the fusion dances and fusion themes from Steven Universe, compiled in one playlist! soundcloud.com/aivisura/sets/steven-universe-fusion-mixtape
 
Making Pebble apps is so fun
I should make an app for Bridge
 
1:21 PM
Make a wheel of blame for your pebble
 
> My apartment has a saltwater pool. It's quite nice. I love the change in buoyancy. I can lay on my back and take deep breaths and exhalations to rise and sink just below the water line. I like to pretend I am a submarine. I am 28.
 
@KevinvanderVelden That is a great idea for an app
 
@Yuuki that sounds pretty awesome
 
@KevinvanderVelden There's a dirty joke follow up to that.
 
@Yuuki ... yes there is
 
1:32 PM
I could also make a Shog watchface with a slowly rotating Shog head
 
Use Pinkie's rotating head from Too Many Pinkie Pies
 
> Jack Thompson is so disbarred, he can't even approach a park bench.
 
1:51 PM
@PrivatePansy why not both? (DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENSUING MONSTROSITY)
 
@GraceNote I figured it would
 
Arg, tight deadlines ahead. Hopefully this problem can be shoved onto a sister project, where they actually have budget.
 
insert string of curses WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH FOREIGN KEYS? Why did you only use them in some cases, and sometimes for no reason not
 
augh
I don't have time for all of this
worst day ever
 
2:19 PM
This is from the people who made Nimbus
which was a fantastic game
 
inb4 okay, panic
 
@Arperum Are you looking at my companies codebase? :o
 
@Rapitor Replace the Pidgey with a tiny Gastly have the result be "But it failed!".
 
@GodEmperorDune I think it may be sleeping. taps foot
 
2:23 PM
@Rapitor Well, the first one is actually true.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Nope I'm in some old code from the previous coder here. It's terrible.
 
@TimStone i thought i was so clever :(
Stack Overflow is now experiencing a DDoS attack. We are working to mitigate.
 
Maybe it got DDOS'd.
 
@GodEmperorDune It's well known that once inb4'd yu just can't enter without acting like it didn't happen.
 
@Arperum Incidentally with Postgres I did have an issue with foreign keys, but they fixed that in 9.3 \o/
 
2:25 PM
@TimStone It's bloody SQL-server with C#.net code
 
Heh
 
The worst part is the part where there was faulty data due to lack of foreign keys. (for some reason there were cities that were located in non-existing regions.

Q: Which cars can have a race roll cage installed?

DavidYellI've noticed whilst playing that different cars have different levels of customisation. With the Dewbauchee Massacro I was able to put a race roll cage into the vehicle. Which other cars will take a race roll cage?

 
@Arperum data like that is the most fun, especially in a bulk insert where most of the regular safeguards are bypassed for performance reasons
 
@GodEmperorDune Those cities got wiped from existence.
 
2:29 PM
@Arperum oh, fallout from ultron's attack?
 
@GodEmperorDune Mostly aimed flamethrowery stuff (also: be wary with things that may or may not be spoilers from recent movies)
 
Stack Overflow is now experiencing a DDoS attack. We are working to mitigate.
 
@OKAY,PANIC. took you long enough
 
Nine minutes later, I guess that still counts for inb4 status @GodEmperorDune
 
@TimStone nah, more like failb4
 
2:32 PM
@TimStone Nah, his inb4 was scrolled out of sight on my screen.
 
Ah, the visibility exception cause to the base 10-minute rule. Good point.
 
Smokey, this isn't 'Nam, this is inb4'ing. There are rules, dammit.
 
You are correct, this is not 'Nam. But there are no rules
@Yuuki, this isn't 'Nam, this is The Bridge. There are no rules, dammit.
So apparently we're teaching Go in operating systems next semester
 
I dunno, I prefer Parcheesi.
 
Someone should make a programming language by that name

Remember where I said that I sanitized the data? I kinda didn't it seems.
 
Hah
Nice
 
@Unionhawk Except that if my code worked I could leave earlier to go donate blood, and now I first have to fix stuff and I might not have enough time left.
 
2:59 PM
Rip
Terrorism insurance is a thing.
Amazing.
 
@Unionhawk Hehe, doesn't surprise me.
 
this is getting fun.
80% of the faulty data has nothing linked to it, the other 20% does though.

Q: What effective build in Torchlight 2 will enable me to see the most skills in play?

Matt ThrowerJust started playing Torchlight 2. I only play to play through the game once, and so ideally I'd like to see as much variety in the game as I possibly can. What's the most effective class and build that will enable me to: employ a mix of ranged and melee combat use a diverse range of skills, i...

 
oh no, onlt 10% has stuff linked.
wich is still too much.
 
@Lazers2.0 After a while I realized it's not useful to invest in a broad range of skills, since most of the time you'll only be using a few skills repeatedly, excluding summon and passive skills, of course

Q: Where are the Life shops located?

Mathias711In Fantasy Life, there is a Life shop for each different life. Once you hit Master rank, they sell an incredible good item for that specific life (for example, I went up 30 in mining). However, I don't know all locations for the different lives, where are they?

Q: How do I install Minecraft for LInux?

John HickoxI want to install Minecraft for Linux using the official website. I downloaded it but when I click on it, it opens the file instead of running it. I've looked on the Internet a lot but they all have separate downloads for Minecraft or tell me a bunch of confusing stuff to do in the terminal. How ...

 
@Rapitor Codor. Codor codor codor.
 
cc: @AshleyNunn @spugsley
 
Ah, that's the joke. I see.
@Chippies Ludicrous speed!
 
3:33 PM
@Yuuki well, there was supposed to be a meteor shower last night...
 
My lunch today is a big bowl of queso
Mmmm
 
Anyone confused between Skype and Sky is too stupid to be considered.
 
@Chippies Most workplaces block Facebook. Upload with the chat uploader.
 
They're not even related products. Sky is a TV broadcasting company and Skype is internet calling and instant messenger.
 
3:39 PM
@MBraedley as usual, didn't think of that
 
Well... in the US; TV, Internet, and Phone are often provided by the same companies.
 
@Sterno Worldwide Skype is far more well known than Sky
 
@PrivatePansy idk. Sky is all around us.
 
@Sconibulus Sky is a UK company.
 
3:44 PM
if any mods feel like it, you can delete the duplicates above with facebook links
 
That was last summer.
 
guise
help me
I just realized all these song names bc.s3m.us/album/minimap
Are depicted on the album art
I can't figure them all out though
Time Ruler's Watch is obviously the clock tower.
Terraformation is the mountain thing in the East.
This is going to annoy the shit out of me until I figure it out
High Five is the giant stone hand I guess
 
@MBraedley that looks nice! Brother in-law got some nice photos like that from last summer as well, we didn't have a fancy camera until Christmas. It's only now getting warm'ish enough to actually do anything outside at later hours
 
Ohhh Suncall is probably the shrine thing
it has a sun on it?
 
@GnomeSlice I had to look twice to realize the guy with arms crossed doesn't have huge tits
 
3:50 PM
@Chippies loooool
idk what that one is, 'Olive Gang' maybe?
I don't even know what 'Gao Generation' means.
Or what the werewolf is supposed to be.
 
why do you think that there's something for each song there?
 
Because there's a bunch.
'My Cheesed Life' is I think the little house with what looks like a wheel of cheese.
Also one of the new bandcamp comments says they're all depicted on there.
 
doesn't mean it has them all though
especially depends on which came first, the minimap or the song titles
 
The songs.
The kraken thing is 'Let's Sync!' I guess
because sink
The Earl Of July is probably the castle?
ohhhh the mushrooms are probably Polkadot
because they have polkadots on them
wtf is the werewolf
and the big guy with the duck
 
I'd rather not know about guys with a big... duck.
 
3:57 PM
that guy
I thought he might have been Procraster Master but wtf does the duck mean.
Also what's a Chalupa
 
Reel-to-Eel must be the sea serpent
 
@GnomeSlice what the duck?
 
maybe he's Lubu Grande
Oh my dad is here, I gotta go out

Q: Why were the episodes named Half-Life 2 and not Half-Life 3?

ASCIIThenANSII noticed something strange with the way Valve has named their Half-Life games. The order is Half-Life, Half-Life 2, then Half-Life 2: Episode One and Episode Two. But, from the Wikipedia article: Half-Life 2: Episode One is a first-person shooter video game, the first in a series of episodes...

 
4:06 PM
@Lazers2.0 developer intent
 
@Lazers2.0 Because Valve can't make a game with 3 in the title.
 
@GnomeSlice it was a fast food item here in the states
but i think the wizard is chalupa pass (you shall not pass)
 
> (Please do not spam "Half-Life 3 is confirmed!" or something similar.)
He's made 15 posts on this site. I wonder why he would think we would do that
 
4:22 PM
@GodEmperorDune is chalupa known for giving people constipation? :P
 
@Chippies it's taco bell, there is no telling how it will wreck your insides, but they will be surely rekt
 
I'd recommend adding the lore tag to the question as there is quite a bit of back story to Team Fortress 2 that is covered in things such as the comics, but not clearly defined in the actual game. — IQAndreas May 1 at 14:58
Eh...
 
@GodEmperorDune so you shall pass rather quickly
 
@murgatroid99 I wonder why he thinks people doing that wouldn't be destroyed in seconds
 
4:28 PM
I mean, it always bugs me a little when people in questions tell us to do things we would have done anyway, but it surprises me more with someone who has that much experience with the site
 
Dumping the tag. Who upvoted that comment to +5?
 
@PrivatePansy Presumably, five other people.
 
@Yuuki *gasp* Surely you jest, my good sir
 
Also, what is it with people asking TF2 questions when I'm not around/available?

Q: GTA 4 Win 8.1 social club does load up but when I click play the loading circle shows up for a second or two but nothing happens

Dustin ballisticYeah thats all that happens. I bought it on steam digitally. But theres a ReadMe file in the Gta 4 folder and it has a list of downloads. Is that what I need or does it not work for windows 8.1?

 
@Sterno We do, you didn't know?
 
I guess I'm not pro
 
Then you cannot become our mod. We only accept people who are much pro :(

Why is it that every time I click on a starred post by @Yuuki it's always something I just saw on Reddit?
 
Vivid Vervet! That's a fun name
 
5:01 PM
@John Something something feedbot something.
 
@Rapitor she has good penmanship at least
 
@James I still have this realization about once a month, with similar awe.
 
I didn't realize God used the U.S. justice system to enforce his will.
 
@GodEmperorDune But terrible grammar.
 
That's cute. My (completed) Continuous Integration build still shows up in Hudson as still executing.
 
5:08 PM
@Sterno sure he does
 
@John edited the same meta question that has been lying there, unedited, for hours, 23 seconds before I submitted mine
 
@PrivatePansy It bugged me when I saw it last night, too, but I didn't have the time then.
When I first saw that title I honestly thought it was asking between a list of 3 things: screeps, Arqade, and SO
 
Fun stuff, there's hail falling outside
 
@Chippies Sounds exciting.
 
@John it sounds cold.
Like, I actually got cold just from the sound of it hitting the window
 
5:12 PM
I seem to think you're in Canada, so shouldn't you be used to it?
 
That's the icy touch of fear, coursing through your veins at the thought of what it's doing to your poor car
 
@Sconibulus :(
 
@John I am in Canada and I am used to it (mostly snow, there usually isn't much hail), but I was also quite happy with the 8 degrees celsius we had yesterday, it was much nicer than this
 
@John LoL! Oh.. Sandcat <=-
 
@James :D
@Chippies 8 degrees sounds awfully cold to someone who uses fahrenheit
 
5:14 PM
@Powerlord Did you put a pause at the end of the script?
@John That's just because you use the wrong temperature scale
 
@John google says it's 46.4F
 
@MBraedley At this point switching would be hard because I have zero references whatsoever for the Celsius scale

Q: Downloading previously downloaded games to USB Flash, then installing to 360's hard drive

Itchy LizardOK guys. I am currently working in Saudi Arabia, so there are regional restrictions on some games downloaded from Xbox Live Marketplace. I thought I'd gotten around it by buying/ downloading them using a vpn on my computer and adding them to the queue, but they won't complete successfully. I kno...

 
@Chippies That's...still cold.
 
@John eh, it melted the snow, I'm fine with that
 
5:15 PM
@John Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. What else do you need to know?
 
@MBraedley Stuff like which C means I need to wear a jacket
Because obviously I can't just go back inside and get one
after already going outside
 
@John room temperature is around 20 C, I think
 
Room temp is ~20-22°C and human body temp is ~37°C
 
@John your body temperature is around 36 degrees, room temperature is around 20-24C
 
@murgatroid99 thank you
Now I'm curious what temperature it is outside...
 
5:17 PM
@John ask google
 
Oh hey, it's 21 degrees outside
That's a convenient temperature
 
it's off by a city, but close enough
 
@Chippies Google does a lot of strange and wonderful things
 
21.1 == 72 right?
27.7 == 98.6ish
 
5:19 PM
@James ish
 
@James 69.98F according to google
 
You can also google "weather" to get a current weather report
 
@James No
 
@Chippies Well when has google been right? :)
 
one thing I've learned from TV shows is that 100F body temp means you're sick, so it's around 38~40C
 
5:20 PM
@MBraedley Ah 37 not 27:D
 
100F = 37.7778C
I was pretty close
 
Oh god. Why did I try Screeps?
 
@Sterno Because you saw the meta question too? And went like "ooooh a game where I can win without having to actually be there 24/7"?
 
@MBraedley No. Besides which, Hudson is already listing it as completed in other parts of the UI. I went down to grab lunch and its disappeared now.
 
But I write javascript all day at work already :(
 
5:22 PM
@Chippies didn't really work for me, it just said what "weather feel" is.
 
@Sterno Screeps also is on my todo list for today, so if you feel like reviewing it, I'm listening
 
@Rapitor you probably have pretty strict privacy settings in browser
 
I don't have time to dig into it
I ran through part of the tutorial and realized there are countless hours of entertainment available there
 
I kinda expect it's going to feel more like coding than like playing
 
5:23 PM
@John yeah it takes me back to shitty ai programming in college
 
@MBraedley Yeees, because it totally makes sense to blame caching when different parts of the same page disagree.
 
as in my algos for ai are all terrible
 
@Powerlord Could be loaded from 2 different requests.
Did you try refreshing?
 
@MBraedley Yes
 
@GodEmperorDune I've never done anything like that before (well except one thing that actually turned out kinda realistic) so I am expecting this
 
5:26 PM
@Powerlord I got nothing then.
 
@John my bots are smart enough to collect energy, build things, and build guards
i need to make the guards smart enough to wait for a large group of them, then go attack the enemies
but also defend against attackers even if you are the only guard available
 
I'm rather worried I'm going to get raided to bits before I have time to code any defenses
 
@John try the survival simulator
it's you vs ai
its not like those mobile MMORTS where you get jumped as soon as the noob shield wears off
 
5:47 PM
@GodEmperorDune Oh, that's a relief
 
6:03 PM
Vivid Vervet GET!
Now, to find a changelog...

6:47 PM
I just opened up this thing and am doing the tutorial
but my guys stopped moving
 
what thing?
 
screep
 
@Sconibulus make sure you're not getting syntax errors in console
 
I'm not
two of my guys have disappeared now though...
 
the tutorial let me pass the module bit even though I had a syntax error
and I couldn't go back to check the code hint
took me quite a while to find out what the error was
 
6:58 PM
and now my last dude disappeared
oh, I notice my spawn has full energy, maybe my harvesters stopped because of that?
and I had an = rather than == on my harvester check like a dummy, so my builder was acting like a harvester
not sure where all my guys went though, they're still showing up in the Memory
 
did you pretty much copypaste the code from code hints or did you write it all by yourself?
you may have done something wrong
 
I wrote most of it
actually, there's an "age" value... maybe they got old and died
I just rebuilt them and now they seem to be doing their thing
 
Idk what the age value does, it wasn't part of the tutorial

@Yuuki you might. I don't know all that much about them. I'll look at it again later this evening when I'm home.
