A: Time to take a step back from multiple answer criticism

The problem with having multiple answers/solutions in one post is that users aren't able to vote on each individual solution. If you have two solutions to a problem, and one of them doesn't work at all, and the other works perfectly, how do users vote on that? All they can really do is comment sa...

Sterno

@fredley Clearly not.

Wipqozn

I'm such a great meta user in the lifehacks community.

Sterno

5:03 PM

@Wipqozn I posted comments because I was too lazy to post an answer. Plus, this way a mod can delete them easier.

Wipqozn

@Sterno lolol

I was looking for that post of Robert's, which I knew I'd discussed with Mooseman recently, but couldn't find it because the discussion had been deleted :(

@MadMAxJr I wish I was a mod on lifehacks, so I could modabuse @Sterno's mod nomination to acceptance.

@Unionhawk You're just building up your meta post count for a mod run. I get it.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk just isn't a pro Meta Lifehacker like me

Unionhawk

5:08 PM

I'm continuing to shoot down bad ideas even if someone else already has

Wipqozn

On the other hand, if someone's asking a hypothetical (stupid) question about how to make marks on a piece of paper, it's probably fine if both "use a pencil" and "use a pen" are in the same answer, since they're so closely related. "Put a pin in your finger and write with the blood" would probably be best served as a separate answer, though. — Sterno 1 min ago

Q: Are Zookas and Riflemen Equivalent?

In Boom Beach, I'm trying to figure out the balancing between Zookas and Riflemen. Yes, Zookas are substantially higher in damage, but bear with me: Riflemen stats (level 12): Health: 295 DPS: 71 Size: 1 Zooka stats (level 12): Health: 126 DPS: 228 Size: 2 So, by this logic, in a single ...

@Sterno I think on general issues, we're moving in the same direction. It's the implementation of how to go about it that we usually have fun with.

Sterno

@Frank I think mostly when it comes to what should be opened or closed

But when it comes to "this is just crap in general", we tend to agree

@Sterno At that's rather amicable, at least.

Wizards of the Coast does not sell complete card sets to either the public or to retail. What you may have heard about was the complete sets offered via Magic the Gathering Online.

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 It's always funny when someone argues "that's just your opinion" and then proceeds to use their own opinions as fact.

Maybe it's a case of there's just barely enough space for two cars, so most folks aren't risking it

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 It also seems like he doesn't understand that "retail" means a very specific thing.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot The original revision used the word "official" to refer to stuff sold/distributed by Wizards. That seems to be what the confusion was about

Origami Robot

The first sentence of this answer doesn't make any sense. Vendors do offer complete sets. You can just buy them. They are a retail thing. The second and third paragraphs are totally speculation. The last paragraph is a repeat of diego's answer. — Rainbolt 2 days ago

I'm referring to this comment

murgatroid99

5:31 PM

@OrigamiRobot Look at the first revision of the answer

Frank

It's mostly boiling down to his definition of the word, "official"

Origami Robot

> There are no vendors offering because the official complete set offers are not a retail thing you can just buy.

It still says the word retail

murgatroid99

He interpreted "official complete set" as "list of cards in the set" not "complete set as a product"

Origami Robot

He said "They are a retail thing." That is simply incorrect.

Frank

Either way, it currently seems to be descending into him whining about people criticizing him.

murgatroid99

5:34 PM

@Frank and this is the real issue

Frank

Meh. Tell him to grow a thicker skin on the Internet. If he keeps whining, ignore him.

Problem solved.

murgatroid99

@Frank His response is still on screen. He doesn't accept that it's not personal

@Rapitor They didn't. @badp just put the room into a day long timeout.

Matt Giltaji

@StrixVaria did you disqualify eveything that php does?

StrixVaria

6:01 PM

@MattGiltaji I considered this against PHP, and determined that this one feature of Ruby is worse than PHP, although Ruby as a whole isn't quite as bad as PHP.

murgatroid99

I'm just going to agree here: PHP is the worst thing that has ever happened to a programming language

Yuuki

> PHP is the worst thing that has ever happened ~~to a programming language~~

inb4 people taking that seriously

StrixVaria

method_missing is the method that's called when you try to call a method that doesn't exist, instead of just that being an error.

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki HOW DARE YOU BLA BLA BLA

StrixVaria

That way, you can call methods that don't exist and get results and have no idea why anything works.

Or does it just happen automatically?

@murgatroid99 Yes, but Rails does that.

So I was reading some rails code and grepping to try to find where a bunch of stuff was defined and it just wasn't.

murgatroid99

6:04 PM

I still think there are worse things in PHP

StrixVaria

Worse things than masking where entire methods come from or what they do and making it impossible to search for since their names are dynamic?

Origami Robot

I believe @StrixVaria is saying it's worse in Ruby because Ruby isn't entirely awful like PHP.

@StrixVaria yes

I read that fractal of bad design thing but I think I blacked most of it out of my memory.

murgatroid99

The ternary operator is left-associative.

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 That's not as bad as methods coming out of nowhere.

murgatroid99

Copying a recursive object causes a segmentation fault in the interpreter. Not an exception, and not an error

Kevin van der Velden

Kevin van der Velden

6:06 PM

SERIOUSLY PHP?

murgatroid99

$x='2d9'; $x++; echo $x; $x++; echo $x; outputs 2e0\n3

If you compare two strings with ==, both are coerced to doubles if possible

Kevin van der Velden

"Hey that's a hexidecimal string! I know what to do with those" "Hey that's scientific notation! I know what to do with that!"

You are also IP-blocked from the Stack Exchange network until you (read: @AshleyNunn) loses modship (on that particular account).

You will also be shadowed by Canadian ninjas to prevent you from logging onto Stack Exchange from any other computer.

So every mod is force-uploaded and merged into the Ashley set? D:

Q: How can I use unlicensed controllers on the PS4?

Given that I use a PS4 and already have a few controllers that I want to use with the PS4 instead of buying almost the same controller licensed for the PS4 or void warranties of controllers, what options do I have? Scenarios: Arcade Fightsticks – these are rather big compared to typical gamepa...

DISCONNECT HIS STEAM ACCOUNT. Let us watch this one squirm.

StrixVaria

When I bought MK9 or whatever on Steam and it didn't work, I begged Valve to give me a refund because I was terrified if I did a chargeback they'd just ban my whole account.

@Lazers This question and self answer are tweaking my spam senses.

And lastly we remove you from the book of faces. Open the doors and let the exile leave.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria You'd think it'd compress well

@MadMAxJr Well that one seems like a perk.

Wikipedia:Size in volumes

This page displays the current size of the English Wikipedia (without images) in print volumes, per mathematical calculation. === Assumptions and calculations === This shows 2,773 million words across 4.7 million articles (as of September 2014), implying an average of 590 words per article. Same source shows 22.405 GB (=22,634,427,000 bytes) across 2,773 million words, implying 8.08 bytes/word. ASCII uses 1 byte/character which in turn implies 8.08 characters/word. However, this includes wikimarkup, and 5 char/word plus one for space is standard, so 6 characters/word will be assumed. The...

Q: Can telepathy and telekinesis exist in biological creatures

I would like to create a sentient creature with telepathy and/or telekinesis. Can either (or both) of these concepts exist biologically? If yes, what would the biological mechanism be? Would a specialized organ of some sort be needed and how would it interact with the rest of the body? How ...

@OrigamiRobot Which community goal is this?

MadMAxJr

The entire Paranormal proposal?

Unionhawk

Military intelligence for Crimson State?

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk For the war

According to FAE

Unionhawk

Or combat bonds?

Origami Robot

COmbat bonds

6:36 PM

Combat James Bonds

Unionhawk

Apparently community goals, in general, are pretty good

Origami Robot

In the beta, the rewards for top contributor were like 400k

I didn't see any talk about them raising, so I just ignored them

I might head over to Lugh

Unionhawk

Apparently military intelligence was pretty lucrative

The influence is pretty even right now

Origami Robot

What is that one about?

Yuuki

Hmmm...

Origami Robot

6:39 PM

cargo?

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Smuggle intelligence for the crimson state

Goal is met, but I don't know exactly what that means for the war

Origami Robot

Yes, which I assume is cargo?

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Yes

Origami Robot

How far are we from Lugh?

Unionhawk

Like, 100LY at least?

Let me check

103 LY, give or take

Origami Robot

6:42 PM

Not too bad

Unionhawk

It's 10 jumps minimum

Probably closer to 15 if I had to guess

Which I do, since that online route planner seems to be broken

> We also have a change in the bounty system coming – it’s planned for a minor update so should be with us soon, but bounties cannot be paid off immediately. There will be a cooldown time of a few days before the bounty can be paid off.

Hmm...

I hope that means accidental shot tier bounties will become fines instead

Rapitor

the community event things should be much more common and definitely more spread out. basically all of them lately have been in federation and half are in lugh alone
