two bugs

Sigh. So I'm on vacation now, and my technically inept boss keeps trying to say my web app "doesn't work"

recent email is "it doesn't work because I'm on firefox"

Kevin van der Velden

Solution: "Say you're gonna unplug, then remove battery from work phone"

two bugs

Okay. Well, I programmed it to be browser agnostic, I tested it on firefox, and this also isn't 2005 where browsers have wildly different compatibility issues

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley Solution: "Burn apple to the ground"

fredley

13:13

@KevinvanderVelden tempting

Normal amount of time an app spends "In Review": a few minutes

Time this app has spent "In Review": 18 hours

two bugs

Oh wow. She's actually not wrong, apparently. Somehow a bug got in that causes layers to not load for Firefox. The problem is, I'm pretty sure this isn't my code

Arperum

@fredley They never had a key.

fredley

wut

Arperum

I work from home.

fredley

still wut

Arperum

13:16

So I'm home most of the time anyway.

I did not give a key so I wouldn't have to change locks.

Q: Most efficient (cost & time) way to get a good Gavel of Judgement

I'm looking for a strong gavel to play the HotA build with my season barb but I'm only finding mediocre ones. If I wanted to dedicate time specifically towards creating/finding a strong gavel, what would be the most efficient route? Simply rifting and waiting for one to drop seems inefficient. W...

Arperum

Also, final? update: My parents came over to get some stuff stored here. Found a bag with garbage placed in there (it was stored in a small space next to the room that they rented.

SO I got a little bit mad.

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina \o

kalina

did you get rid of your squatters in the end?

I mean what kind of monster would put empty packets back in the fridge

Arperum

13:20

Yup. They left yesterday. I found some not so fun surprises after they left. (Used underwear, garbage,...)

5pike

Fucking pigs.

kalina

how uncivilized... and gross...

fredley

@5pike I know, like some kind of head of state or something.

5pike

@fredley Ha

kalina

Incest is no laughing matter.

Kevin van der Velden

13:22

slow clap Well played

Arperum

The worst part is still those glass splinters on the windowsill. If Pixel would have jumped/sat on those, bad things would have happened.

kalina

Good job I didn't jump up there

Kevin van der Velden

Bad things including fire?

Private Pansy

What can I do if I owned fluttershy.horse?

It's available for $25 per year

MBraedley

Why? Why are you doing this to me?

Kevin van der Velden

13:26

@PrivatePansy get another .horse thing and do a redirect loop with best pony?

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Possibly.

5pike

@PrivatePansy Make something like glue.horse

fredley

@PrivatePansy Fluttershy is not a horse

Kevin van der Velden

Also I'm super happy that I got 16ms.nl (site not actually up yet)

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden 16ms?

Kevin van der Velden

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina yeah he left a while ago

kalina

two bugs

This is the weirdest bug. On Firefox, the javascript library doesn't load.

Kevin van der Velden

I don't think he deleted his account (well, anymore than it already was)

Ronan Forman

@kalina I was too scared to ask that.

djsmiley2k

13:29

/me wbbles

kalina

but he was like the bestest person in here

Private Pansy

Or maybe small.horse, then set up fluttershy.small.horse. Because that would be more accurate

kalina

@RonanForman o/

fredley

RIP Everyone

Ronan Forman

@kalina Hey.

Private Pansy

13:30

Because @fredley

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden He deleted his arqade account at some point.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum yes, I'm aware

fredley

He ignored everybody on chat, then got bored and left, iirc

Kevin van der Velden

But that's old

Arperum

Hellbanning yourself might get boring after some time.

two bugs

13:32

@fredley Gee, I wonder why

djsmiley2k

i dun geddit

two bugs

I can't imagine chat being very interesting if it was just you talking to yourself

Private Pansy

@twobugs Well, given that it is provable that y'all are just figments of my imagination...

fredley

PorkChat definitely doesn't simulate chat. Oh no.

two bugs

If I'm just a figment of your imagination, how come you cease to exist when I close the browser window?

kalina

13:34

@twobugs you're merely closing your method of observation

the existing still continues

fredley

Best way to assert your existence: ping people all the time

Right @twobugs?

@twobugs

two bugs

I almost went full @badp to an effort to refute you

fredley

@twobugs pls

@twobugs

Ronan Forman

That was really weird.

I tried to type the word multiple, but my hands decided I wanted the word number instead.

MBraedley

@kalina No, you're the bestest person in here!

kalina

13:36

@MBraedley aw

badp

@twobugs but you failed

so you didn't

fredley

@twobugs Never go full @badp

badp

@RonanForman he left about two years ago

kalina

@MBraedley do you purposely try to be alone in your opinions or is this just a method of convincing me to be here more than once in a blue moon?

two bugs

@fredley Yeah, basically. I stared into the abyss and it stared back.

badp

13:37

and deleted his chat account a year ago or so

Ronan Forman

@badp Huh. I assumed he left while I was away.

MBraedley

@kalina No comment

fredley

He hung around in chat until April

badp

@RonanForman I think you were away for more than two years buddy

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley Yeah I was gonna say

badp

13:37

also yeah I'm using "year" rather loosely here

djsmiley2k

@kalina Well, I missed our interesting convos D:

Ronan Forman

@badp Was I? I thought it was only a year. Maybe not.

fredley

His last message:

Kevin van der Velden

I tried looking it up but I only saw my message that I was sad he didn't appear in autocomplete at roughly the end of april

fredley

in Minecraft Talk, Apr 29 at 1:07, by Origami Robot

Come do stuff

kalina

13:38

I assume he still Steams, I will need to remember my Steam details I guess

Ronan Forman

I haven't done anything on arqade for longer than that though.

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina he does

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Dammit you. Ninja.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum :D

I was afraid I was losing my edge with getting inb4-ed by Yuuki a few times, but I can still inb4 you so all is well.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden I think I even inb4ed you at some point.

Kevin van der Velden

13:40

@Arperum it was a dark and scary time

kalina

I see there is still a tiny bit of me remaining in here then, with all of this inb4'ing

Private Pansy

I'm mostly just a radical empiricist. What proof is there that when I look away y'all still exist? Nothing! Blind faith is what's making you guys exist when I look away

kalina

quick, @Sterno is here pretends not to be here

Private Pansy

Also, I live in perpetual fear of densely packed Hitlers outside of my line of vision

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina inb4-ing @Arperum is a good tradition that I will strive to keep alive

badp

13:42

@PrivatePansy #include <true-evil-and-other-privatepansy-selves.convo>

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy it's okay, at least they're not densely packed ponies

Private Pansy

When the sun sets, there's literally nothing that ensures it'll rise again in the morning

kalina

do you even science?

Private Pansy

@kalina Science is based on observation. I do not observe the sun. Therefore, it does not exist.

kalina

that's what I've been saying about Arqade since 2014 but every time I look it's still there

Private Pansy

13:45

@kalina It is blind faith that causes Arqade to exist. If you stop believing in it, it'll cease to exist

Kevin van der Velden

But is it the same Arqade? Or is this simply a facsimile of it

Private Pansy

Like ponies, or Santa Claus, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but less metaphorically

Actually, I take that back. Ponies are real. I'm hugging one right now.

kalina

well now you're talking crazy, ponies are real

damn O_O

Private Pansy

Kevin van der Velden

YOU MISSED THE THING ABOUT @PRIVATEPANSY'S WIFE!

@KevinvanderVelden undefined?

Kevin van der Velden

Nov 7 '13 at 10:49, by Private Pansy

When my mother signed for the Twilight Sparkle plushie that arrived yesterday she sent me an SMS telling me my wife has arrived

Wait no she didn't :o

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden but she missed the revival.

Private Pansy

I would hamstare at you so hard right now, but I'm more curious where that undefined came from

Kevin van der Velden

Jul 9 at 13:57, by Private Pansy

@KevinvanderVelden OH MY GOD THE BRIDGE NEVER FORGETS

@5pike true, fun times

@PrivatePansy science time!

Private Pansy

@KEVINVANDERVELDEN'S A TERRIBLE PERSON

No repro, hmmm

kalina

13:49

anyway this has been fun

bye again

Kevin van der Velden

Is it the caps? @PRIVATEPANSY'S TEST

@PrivatePansy I've got an undefined in it though

Private Pansy

But I didn't

Chrome specific, perhaps?

Kevin van der Velden

So it's if you get pinged in all caps @PRIVATEPANSY ?

Private Pansy

Is that undefined actually in your text or is it inserted by the server?

Kevin van der Velden

Or is it if you get pinged with a quote? @PrivatePansy's

@PrivatePansy wasn't in mine

That would ruin the science!

Private Pansy

13:51

But you can see it now, right? Totally weird

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy I can only see it in your message to me

Nowhere else

Private Pansy

Yeah, and I can see it in your messages to me

Kevin van der Velden

All of them or which ones?

Ronan Forman

Noooo... I just got handed a 150 page booklet entitled "Modern Perl"

Private Pansy

The first two

Kevin van der Velden

13:53

@PrivatePansy only in the all caps + quote s variant? Hmm

Private Pansy

The S after the quote must also be in caps, for some reason

Kevin van der Velden

So @PrivatePansy'S works?

Private Pansy

Yes, that did

Also, doesn't appear in the transcripts

Kevin van der Velden

Hmmmm

two bugs

I'm on Chrome and it doesn't appear for me.

djsmiley2k

13:55

chrome and was fine here.

Private Pansy

@twobugs'S now it does

Kevin van der Velden

@djsmiley2k'S science!

djsmiley2k

me too plz D:

Private Pansy

Right?

djsmiley2k

@djsmiley2k'Sundefined science!

Kevin van der Velden

13:56

It only appears to the person being pinged

djsmiley2k

yup

Weird.

Private Pansy

So it's very likely a client side bug

djsmiley2k

try again plz....

Kevin van der Velden

Would also explain why the transcript doesn't do it

@djsmiley2k'S

Hmm, what if @djsmiley2k'A

Private Pansy

Let me check partial pings @Kevin'B

djsmiley2k

13:57

K, it's not related to 1. being in chan at the time, or 2. desktop notifications.

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy nope

@Private'S we haven't confirmed if it works with anything other than S though

Private Pansy

It's not specific to the letter S, right?

Arperum

Is it a chrome only bug?

Kevin van der Velden

@djsmiley2k did it?

Private Pansy

@KevinvanderVelden That worked

Kevin van der Velden

13:57

@Arperum no idea, someone with a different browser try it?

Private Pansy

@Arperum Nope, seeing it on Firefox

djsmiley2k

It's only 'S

Arperum

uses firefox

Kevin van der Velden

So, it's specifically the letter capital S? o.o

@Arperum'S ? :O

Private Pansy

Someone ping me with the entire ASCII table? :P

djsmiley2k

13:58

@KevinvanderVelden rather 's is handled especially

Arperum

Yup, has undefined.

djsmiley2k

because, see? it's 's, you'd use that in 'normal' english

'S however is rare corner case.

Private Pansy

So. The letter S strikes again.

djsmiley2k

I think they are handling 's on the end of a username,

and forgot about 'S, or didn't update 'S .

Private Pansy

I would go report this, but I'm afraid Jeff would sneak up on me at night and bludgeon me with a giant S

Kevin van der Velden

13:59

Hypothesis: They're using a regex which is case insensitive and then doing indexOf('s')?

Private Pansy

But where does the undefined come from?

Kevin van der Velden

That's pure javascript

'a'['a'.indexOf('s')] == undefined

fredley

#define undefined true

Kevin van der Velden

(indexOf returns -1 when not found, negative indices in an array or string return undefined)

Shall I post it to meta se?

Private Pansy

@PrivatePansy'S checking

Nope, doesn't work. Someone ping me with the buggy string

@KevinvanderVelden I'm messaging one of the devs on the meta chatroom

Seems a simple enough bug

djsmiley2k

14:07

@PrivatePansy'S

Private Pansy

Okay, no console errors

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy aight

djsmiley2k

eaiest way to show them is to ping them :P

Yuuki

That's interesting.

Private Pansy

Definitely a bug

In whatever script you're using

Yuuki

Nah, I'm pretty sure someone linked Friday directly on that transcript page and that's what it's picking up.

GodEmperorDune

@fredley what should I be looking for?

@Yuuki Cannot reproduce

Yuuki

Either that or it's somehow detecting this:

Arperum

That transcript page has the word FRIDAY on it. and Rebecca Black.

fredley

14:15

@GodEmperorDune Look at the image

Arperum

Pretty sure these two combined results in it being seen as a friday link. If my memory serves me right anyway.

fredley

@Yuuki html.toString().contains("Rebecca Black")

Yuuki

@fredley Shouldn't you reword the warning then to CAUTION: CONTAINS "REBECCA BLACK"?

fredley

@Yuuki PR it m8

Private Pansy

@fredley So wait, as long as the entire page contains Rebecca Black somewhere on it, that warning will be displayed?

Yuuki

Q: Playing a game, what measurement of speed is u/s?

I've been playing attack on Titan, a game based on the anime, and have recently enabled the speedometer so I could judge how fast my character is going. Unfortunately, it uses either a made-up or poorly translated unit of measurement. Does anyone know what u/s is, and how it relates to mph?

I just got reddit gold. Such leather. So stitch. Wow.

GodEmperorDune

@fredley for what?

fredley

reddit.com/r/TagPro/comments/3lxjo5/tagpro_anatomy_powerups/…

5pike

What's reddit gold?

GnomeSlice

Reddit premium

I didn't notice any benefits the whole time I had it

They gave default mods like 3 months free

fredley

14:51

@GnomeSlice you were a default mod?

Private Pansy

@5pike The benefits are marginal. You get more sub reddits displayed on your front page (non-gold members get a random selection of their subs if they exceed 50, I think)

You can have more comments loaded on comment threads automatically, up to 1000 instead of 200 I think

Arperum

@fredley IIRC @gnome is a mod on /r/music or something.

Private Pansy

New comments made after your last visit is automatically highlighted

That last one is perhaps the only true benefit of having gold

You get access to a gold only subreddit, which is completely pointless

And you get some coupon codes to use on some websites

The discounts are not bad, but they're almost all US only, and are fairly specific products

5pike

@PrivatePansy Mh, interesting. My interaction with reddit is almost zero. I pretty much only read r/til

Private Pansy

r/til is kind of crappy. Their posts regularly get featured on r/badhistory

fredley

14:57

@Arperum uwotm8

5pike

What is r/badhistory?

fredley

@PrivatePansy Like RES?

Private Pansy

@fredley RES doesn't do that, AFAIK

Also, RES is local only. Since this is stored on the server side you can have the comments highlighted based on your visits from anywhere, as long as you're logged in

Yuuki

@PrivatePansy The only thing I'm interested is the ability to filter /r/all.

Private Pansy

Oh yeah, I think there's the ability to filter out your subs from r/all?

You can probably do that on the client side too, but doing it on the server side does make better use of reddit's algorithms

Yuuki

15:02

And you can do /r/all-<subreddit> to remove other subreddits.

So /r/all-nosleep-trees would give you /r/all just without /r/nosleep or /r/trees.

@PrivatePansy I always thought the ponies were young adults not teenagers, judging by Twilight and Rarity living on their own. And I think Pinkie lives on her own, she just works at Sugarcube Corner.

Q: How to change font size in DarkScape?

So i started playing Darkscape - a new jagex game based of Runescape, and I run into a problem - all fonts seem too small for me, so is there any way to increase font size in DarkScape?

runescape

murgatroid99

16:43

@Lazers2.0 "based on Runescape" is something of an understatement. There's more similar than different about the games

Basically, I suspect that any answer will apply equally to Runescape

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 even changing the settings?

murgatroid99

Should be. It's basically the same game

The differences are primarily in gameplay

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 same game != same engine

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden but it is

fredley

@fredley It's very poorly written

"time taken" for what? Why is time in tenths of seconds?

@murgatroid99 To dock points for pedantry

@fredley Basic differentiation?

murgatroid99

@fredley I have no idea what it's asking, but I'll take your word for it

Private Pansy

Yeah, the tenth of a second part is stupid. The rest of it looks like a standard optimization problem involving differentiation

fredley

@Chippies To be able to differentiate at 18 is not asking that much I don't think.

Private Pansy

It's a little different from the usual 'find the largest volume with a fixed surface area', but not that different

fredley

16:59

@murgatroid99 a and b are "evaluate this function for x=20 and x=0"

Part c is "differentiate this function, and find its root(s)"

Which is pretty generous. In most cases we have to figure out the equation ourselves
