@Ronan If the sandwich has mayo, does that make it one with Sticky Cheese?
 
Ohhhhhhh man here we go
 
@Unionhawk ?
 
Good morning everyone, here we go. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/864436162567471104
 
11:16 AM
Nice
 
@GodEmperorDune so I got the last 3 quills. Now it's just the Rextro flappy bird game :/
 
Last I checked the official story was "<thing wp did not say> never happened" you fucking idiot oh my God he can't even ugnrhdkf
Holy fucking shit
How is a man this stupid president
Meanwhile
Many Democrats are furious that Sanders appears to be running in 2020, or planning to drag out his decision… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/864440316220379140
 
@GodEmperorDune ugh finally beat it once, now I have to beat the high score :|
 
@Unionhawk Hahahaha, your politics is so fucked..... Oh.
 
We elected the stupidest man in the world and Congress isn't going to do a fucking thing about it ughhhhhhh
 
11:26 AM
Protip: don't elect idiots

I really thought someone had taken away his phone after the comey tapes tweet, but seems like that isn't the case
 
At this point, it almost seems like he's experimenting with how batshit he can be before his support starts eroding.
 
I'm just assuming he's incompetent
 
@fredley Bigger protip: don't make it so one position has all the power. that way, if you fuck up and do elect an idiot (or worse, a dictator), you can work around it
 
11:42 AM
@Nzall Well, if it's just a figurehead, nobody cares. It has to be a proper balance. Right now, the scale is tipped a bit too much in the president's favour.
 
@Frank The kicker is that this isn't how the FFs wanted it
 
@Nzall I don't think it's fair to ascribe perfect vision to them; they were still human.
They did create this mess in the first place with the electoral college.
 
I also think you lot shouldn't really care what they want, they were fine with slavery and no votes for women
 
Honestly, the best thing you can do if you're no in the US is sit back, relax and enjoy the entertainment Trump provides. And the best thing you can do if you ARE in the US is to contact your House representative and tell them how you dislike Trump
I mean, the Trump presidency is a horrible political situation, but from an entertainment perspective it is just gold

Q: My companion does nothing in battle. Why?

Wout van den DungenWhen I enter battle, my companion (currently Alisha) will just stand there doing nothing, she will just stand there taking hits until I have defeated all enemies myself. Is this a bug, or some setting somewhere that is wrong? I am new to this game, and maybe I am doing something wrong.

 
ew
my school fees just showed up
well they actually showed up 4 days ago but I didn't notice until now
 
@BlueBarren Good luck!
 
@Elizer thanks, I'll need it
oh cool
apparently my reference to System.Windows.Forms; just decided to stop working
reference is still there

Q: Steam stuck on extracting package

DanielI just did a format on my PC and am now currently re-installing steam. However, steam is taking very long to "Extracting Package". It has been 2 hours now and the window is still 'Responding' - i.e. it doesn't say not responding on task manager etc. but it is still "Extracting Package". Is there...

 
But apparently the namespace Forms; doesn't exist
 
@BlueBarren Are you having a bad day? Because it sounds like it.
 
@Elizer I wouldn't say a "bad day" more that morning has some frustration in it
the school fees are w/e
it's more this silly namespace thing that's frustrating
 
Ah.
 
well to the c# room I go
 
1:17 PM
So here's a strange issue: we have an automated process that opens and prints word documents, handled through Access.
The issue is that a single specific document refuses to print if its not first in the list.
It just hangs while opening. Unless I hit escape. Then it loads properly.
 
@BlueBarren hey c#er here
Whats wrong
 
> The type or namespace name 'Forms' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows'
 
I want to say there's a hidden dialog box or something, but that doesn't explain why it works first thing.
 
@Frank Is the document of the same type as the other documents?
 
@Nzall Yep. Word .docx
 
1:28 PM
@BlueBarren Does this help? stackoverflow.com/questions/6639468/…
 
@Nzall I have that already
 
@BlueBarren Do you really? could you provide a screenshot of your references list? you may have accidentally added the wrong one
 
@BlueBarren Try to clean the solution and check copyLocal on the reference.
 
@Nzall what's copyLocal?
 
1:34 PM
What's also possible is that you're missing a different reference somewhere
398
A: The type or namespace name does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web.Mvc'

ToffeeClean your solution and then set the property of those files to Copy Local = True. To set the Copy Local property to True or False In Solution Explorer, click the Show All Files button to display the References node. Open the References node for the project. Right-click a reference in the Ref...

 
@Nzall it was false so I switched it to true
but that did nothing
I also cleaned the solution
same result
 
@BlueBarren Have you tried rebuilding?
 
@Nzall yes
but that fails
and it says it can't find a whole bunch of metadata files
 
@BlueBarren Oh right. I had that once as well. Problem is, I don't really know how I fixed it
 
Hmmmmm
 
1:40 PM
Hey. Quick question. Can someone really hack into a school's internet to see If anyone is using it?
 
@Elizer yes?
 
@BlueBarren Really? I thought that was untrue.

Q: g.i.cs files missing, classes no longer contain a definition for InitializeComponent

NzallI've been developing a UWP project in my spare time to get a hang of UWP, MVVM and Prism. The project was originally really classic, with no use of MVVM and Prism, and I've been working to get those 2 into the project. I've been relying on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg405484(v=pandp...

 
depends on the security of the school network..
 
@Nzall oh see I don't really know how to fix it either ;D
 
1:42 PM
Is this similar to what you have?
 
So... #%27 should be valid in a href right?
 
@Nzall not the exact same
some similarities though
I'm going to try rebooting my entire computer
 
@3ventic Alright. Thanks. We just had a lockdown drill yesterday. And people were on their computers.
 
@Elizer People can do some pretty scary things these days if they have access to the network.
 
1:55 PM
@BlueBarren I had a similar problem that solved by closing and reopening the solution (without closing VS)
 
@HazyKingdom Yeah, I know
@djsmiley2k Noice!
 
what the hell is a lockdown drill though? They lock up the network and check usage?
 
@HazyKingdom A good way to scare children. Or a good way to practice for bad things. Depends on your point of view.
 
@HazyKingdom it's for when there's an intruder on school premises
 
@HazyKingdom No, it's like an intruder is in the school, and everyone has to go to the corner of the room you can't see from the door's window.
@JasonBerkan but yeah, basically.
 
1:58 PM
@Nzall @3ventic oops
so uh
 
Ah, thanks guys ... lol should of been pretty clear.
 
I have 3 projects in one solution
 
@BlueBarren You added the reference to the wrong project?
 
and the file I was looking at was from one of the smaller projects where it was actually missing the reference
well I think there used to be a reference between projects in the solution
 
Fine, screw this, I'm stripping all non alphanumerics from this thing
 
1:59 PM
so I think that's gone because even though I added the forms reference I'm still missing stuff
 
@Unionhawk Maybe convert it to B64?
 
oh apparently I can't add a circular dependency
 
Remember when firing James Comey was a big shocker of a story that was going to last weeks
 
Nope. Already doing (new Regex([^A-Za-z0-9]).Replace(input, "")
I wouldn't have needed to do this if Uri.EncodeDataString allowed it to work BUT I GUESS WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS
 
what doesn't work
 
2:02 PM
@Unionhawk Now you have [0-9]+ problems
 
@3ventic I'm dynamically generating IDs and hrefs for tabs based on title. Apparently it doesn't like special characters. It doesn't like % escaped characters either
Theoretically #%27thisisstupid is valid but nope
 
what's it supposed to do?
because that is valid indeed
 
Zone.js doesn't like it so this is angular's fault, it looks like
 
oh... modern web development :D
oh what a lovely mess it is
 
@BlueBarren clean + rebuild maybe
 
2:06 PM
npm install justenditall
 
I'm just going to strip them all out and hope nobody wants 2 tabs distinguished only by special characters
 
in C# on Stack Overflow Chat, 3 mins ago, by BlueBarren
I fixed my problem
 
And then set that user on fire if it happens
 
Cast that user down into the depths of node_modules
 
@BlueBarren Ah, nice
 
2:07 PM
@Avery well you'd think but now I have other problems
 
use rust
 
Well that was a fun bug to fix
 
@Unionhawk something something RIP @twobugs
 
Ugh it's tied in with a file with pending changes goddammit
 
hmmm so I think I'm missing some other references
anybody have any idea where Client comes from?
 
2:09 PM
Third day of ISP not connecting us to network
fml
 
apparently it's an object of some kind
 
Can you give Some example code with it used?
 
seems basic
 
I found one msdn page on it so far and oh dear god have mercy on your soul if this is the case
 
Client client
then client.name
maybe it isn't a reference?
 
2:11 PM
maybe
 
I honestly don't know why this project just stopped working
 
Naming a class client is like the most terrible thing you can do
 
where are the references kept in file explorer?
@Avery tell that to the last intern
 
The class names should include proper references to what it's used for
Oh it was an intern. that kinda explains a lot
 
the last intern has really made my life difficult
 
2:13 PM
@BlueBarren check the build folder
 
I have to do an entire backend rework because he was doing thing inefficiently
but he also seems super smart from what I've seen
 
Maybe /obj too
 
something about the heap being on our SQL server which isn't good
hmm not seeing anything promising in there
 
I have seen the future and it is robots operating perpetually turning fidget spinners for power sources.
 
Then it's probably not a reference
Also Siri dictation sucks
 
2:16 PM
@BlueBarren if you f12 this does it go anywhere or does it say "wat is client"
 
@MadMAxJr Well, that's better than using humans for batteries.
 
@Unionhawk I will take "wat is client" for $500
 
Yay easy money
 
Crap. My headphones broke. Except the actual wiring. Just the casing, so they still work.
Kind of.
:/
 
Idea: a git blame that punches the person responsible for that line
 
2:18 PM
Git blame should fire the employee
#capitalism
 
Physical contact with git requires a robot arm. How about just git shame which tells their mother what they did?
 
( Also Siri dictation doesn't just like British English I guess)
 
Or just git gud which puts 'You died' on their screen when they try to commit.
 
@Elizer are you shoving wires in your ears?
 
I might actually do the you died thing
 
2:21 PM
@Avery s/fire/set fire to /
 
That isn't capitalist enough
 
Screambot works.
 
Yay
 
I cannot deal with this
 
@DanmakuGrazer pls
 
2:23 PM
@BlueBarren Nope. Just the head part (the part you put on your head) broke.
 
@Elizer I recommend duct tape
 
@BlueBarren Yeah, That's what I'm gonna do.
Once I get home.

Q: How to randomly place a certain block over the map within a radius?

WhatWhereWhenLet say I choose diamond block, I wanna place the block randomly all over the surface within a radius of 100 blocks. Is there a mod or command to do this kind of work?

 
2:44 PM
SO sick of not having source control.
 
Source control is for wizards and robots.
 
@HazyKingdom If nothing else you could start using it on just your machine.
 
@MadMAxJr Because it's run by wizards in your machine.
@RedRiderX Actually, I already got written up for that lmao.
 
Also the rare wizard robot.
 
It's not an approved component.
 
2:49 PM
@HazyKingdom look for a new job
 
@MadMAxJr Be careful of wizard robots!
 
Magic is science and wizard robot is BOTH!
 
3rd project that I've written which was credited to someone else.
 
@HazyKingdom Look for a new job.
 
@HazyKingdom Seriously? get out of there now.
 
2:53 PM

18 secs ago, by Ronan
L O O K F O R A N E W J O B
 
@HazyKingdom ...why?
 
i'm already on it, i'm too overpaid though.
@Ullallulloo the exact reason I just mentioned. The guy who gets the credit babysits for my manager.
Just spent three weeks working on bullshit.
 
Yeah, go look for a new job now. The longer you spend there, the worse off you'll be in the future.
I can almost guarantee you that the kind of person who does that is also the kind of person who will not provide good references for another job so you're better leaving now while you still have time before you've invested too much time in this company.
 
@HazyKingdom I see that now. It still doesn't make sense though.🤦
 
2:58 PM
Also verify that you're overpaid, given the things you've already mentioned it does not sound like a job that pays market prices, let alone more than that
 
@Yuuki I've already been here a long time, but this shit just started happened when they relocated me last year. I've been here longer than my manager because I was supposed to be the manager, but I was too inexperienced for the position at the time, so they brought him in. I know he's already lost me one offer too, but that was a couple months ago so I had to take him off my references list.
@KevinvanderVelden Accordingly Glassdoor, I'm 540$ overpaid ... lol. Much less than I thought.
 
Why would you list your current job on your references? o.o
 
Sorry i totally botched that lol, I have an HR contact on my references list. She told me she sent the call over to him.
So I took her off the list, because about two days after the were going to offer me a package, they were suddenly going in another direction.
 
Never, never, never put HR on your references. HR's job is to look out for the company.
The reason why they do employee relations and the like is because they don't want things to splash back onto the company.
 
HR is worse then a manager for reasons above ^
 
3:06 PM
Sexual harassment awareness seminars are not about protecting employees from sexual harassment. It's about removing company liability for sexual harassment lawsuits. I mean, the goal is to lower sexual harassment which is a good goal, but the intent is key.
 
yes
this is all true
well it also depends on where you go and who works for your HR department
sometimes you get nice people who actually care about people
The people here seem rather nice
 
But never assume that someone will go counter to the purpose of their job, no matter how nice they are.
 
Probably true
 
Besides, being nice doesn't prevent that sort of thing. Maybe Nice HR Person is your best friend and doesn't want you to leave the company because then you'll stop being friends? Maybe Nice HR Person thinks you just need to tough it out and you'll get a raise + benefits and be better off in the end. Maybe Nice HR Person thinks they're doing the Right Thing for you even if it doesn't look like it from your perspective.
 
That last mistake could be applied to anyone who you think you're friends wth
 
3:11 PM
@Yuuki Lesson learned, she's been a personal friend since before she worked with me, so I believed her when she said she'd back me.
 
actually all of those could be anyone you work with
So then who are you supposed to list as a reference?
 
@BlueBarren Internet acquaintances.
 
@BlueBarren People you've already stopped working with or are going to stop regardless of whether you get a new job (ie you're contract's about to expire)
 
As a manager, I don't even phone references. Little point. You have 3 months to determine if the new employee is an idiot or not.
 
3 months probation period? o.o
 
3:15 PM
@JasonBerkan So what you're saying is that I should list "Internet Famous" on my resume?
 
No that's @Spugsley (RIP)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yep, that's how long my probation period was.
 
You can list "Knows an internet famous person"
 
@Ronan so as an Intern I'd be fine
 
@KevinvanderVelden Not sure if federal or provincial law, but you can be terminated without cause up to 3 months into any job.
 
3:17 PM
@JasonBerkan so am I supposed to list you as my reference?
 
@BlueBarren Yup. They're losing you anyway, so it's not going to be against their interests to help you.
 
So you know there's a whole thing about Sonic fan creations and that you should never Google "<Your Name> the Hedgehog"?
 
@Ronan I mean I was going to ask my boss for a reference anyways and he's seems like a genuine guy so I'm expecting a good reference already
 
@JasonBerkan "terminated without cause" that doesn't sound like it can go both ways?
 
3:18 PM
@BlueBarren Well, I won't throw you under the bus, but I also can't vouch for your abilities, so...
 
@BlueBarren If you're leaving on good terms then you're probably good regardless.
 
@JasonBerkan "He is a guy who was doing stuff"
@Ronan unless something happens in the next 3.5 months then yes
@Yuuki wut
no way
that sounds dope
but so stupid at the same time
I was on the fence about that game
but now I'm super interested
 
> If you want to be a neon pink, zebra-striped cat wearing a silver crown, a knockoff Infinity Gauntlet, a heavyweight champion belt, a brown mustache, and yellow flippers, then, I have to say, you have exquisite taste. Also this Sonic game will really appeal to you.
 
But a long time ago, when I was leaving a job where I didn't want my employer to know, I used a contractor that I had worked with, and some people that knew me well personally, if not professionally. And the contractor reference got me the job.
 
3:24 PM
I was a reference for a friend when he was applying to Costco
they actually called
and that was weird
because I dunno how to be a reference
 
@Yuuki oc do not steal the hedgehog

@Lazers2.0 How do you not know if you have DLC or not? lmao
 
@HazyKingdom I have this problem with the Expansion Pass for BotW. I'm pretty sure I bought. In fact, I'm very sure I bought it. But every time Nintendo posts a news item for it on my Switch, I always wonder for a second whether I actually did buy it.
 
@Avery so it looks like Client is a self defined class
for sure
I downloaded an older version of this file and it's not broken
 
@Yuuki I honestly haven't seen the Switch's UI so I don't know how rough it is to see transaction history. I can see where you might not remember for a couple seconds or minutes even, but to post a whole question because you're not sure if you own something?
 
Well, there's also very few clues to whether you have the DLC in the game either.
 
3:54 PM
what's a tool that one can share large chunks of text with?
pastebin is blocked for me
 
Although that's probably because none of the DLC is out.
@BlueBarren Google Docs?
 
@Yuuki oh true
 
Unless you want to remain anonymous.
 
that would be ideal
but w/e
 
Ah that's kind of uncommon, usually their is a full blown DLC feature or something these days.
 
google docs are blocked anyways :/
snipt was the only one that's not blocked
 
@BlueBarren Have you tried a word document?
or would that not work?
 
@Elizer well I want to share something
sending word documents is a hassle
 
@BlueBarren Ah. I see.
 
well snipt seems to be a lie
 
3:59 PM
How so?
 
it seems to be some sort of blog
 
Oh.
 
and not what was advertised in the link Yuuki sent
 
Maybe it died, how old is the article
The one I used to use died too
 
4:04 PM
Anyone watching American Gods? If so, is it as awful as the book?
 
@HazyKingdom considering it's an xbox360 version of the game, it's possible they have had the game for years and are now going back to playing it. Without any indications whether you have the DLC or not, DLC enemies spawning would make me question if I ever bought a DLC or not as well
 
eh I guess I'm a freak when it comes to vidja game purchases since I track my purchase history.
I still have purchase history for consoles I don't even own anymore.
 
@BlueBarren I host my own hastebin instance btw
 
4:20 PM
@Yuuki <whistles innocently>
 
@HazyKingdom as a PC (primarily steam) user, I have no need to track my purchases manually (unless I want to track how much I paid, in which case I'd have to track manually, since I usually buy from 3rd party distributors)
 
I can see tracking manually being needed when you game on consoles, as they all seem to have not-so-great transaction history

Can someone change this tag gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/rayman-3 to "rayman-3-hoodlum-havoc"?
 
But yeah random method got generated in the middle of my code
screwing everything up
and that class didn't even use win forms
 
@user598527 pretty sure that's too long for a tag
iirc there's a 13 char limit
or was it 25? not sure
 
it was just trying to because the method that randomly generated had form stuff in it
 
@Chippies I think the limit is 25, this is 22 characters.
 
@Chippies this sounds more right
 
4:29 PM
I wonder what was the 13 limit that I was thinking of then...
 
Age limit?
 
Spooky number limit?
 
@KevinvanderVelden I don't think so, but it does match the criteria
 
Number of acceptable Fridays limit?
 
It appears that you need 20,000 reputation to edit tags. It is unfortunate that there is no mod chat room, my request will get buried after a while.

@user598527 couldn't find any reason why I shouldn't, so - done
@user598527 10k is enough, I'm fairly sure
I mean, I just edited it and it seemed to work...
 
@user598527 You need to 20k to edit tags without needing approval. Below 20k, tag edits into the review queue.
 
well, technically, I just edited the tag in the question, since there was only one question with that tag anyway
 
Fine. The original tag appears to be there, could be merged with the new one: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/rayman-3
Sorry for not thinking about editing the question!
 
If we get more questions for that game, we might consider a synonym but I think that's a threshold thing, not a "does this make sense" thing.
Or a little bit of both.
Tag synonyms don't make a lot of sense for tags that don't get a lot of traffic.
