You can take a look at this for a great example of how to ask a CR question about a single line of code. — RubberDuck 12 secs ago

Do I smell a "SE isn't a network of forums" message @Mat'sMug?

Man I can't believe it took me that long to get home.

That sucks buddy.

@Caridorc It's weird trying to get used to think in TZ isn't it

Q: Trouble with a guessing game for Java

public static void main (String []args) { int numberToGuess = 50; int numberOfTries = 0; Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in); int guess = 0; numberToGuess = (int) (Math.random()*100) ; while ( guess != numberToGuess) { System.out.println ("Guess a...

Oh robo-reviewers...

Also, // comments and #regions are the work of the devil.

@Jamal Take it up on Meta.SO

that's a nice way to piss off C# and Swift/ObjC developers

@EthanBierlein Robo-reviewers? It probably wouldn't help (they're everywhere), and I wouldn't want it to look like pimping.

11:33 PM

@Jamal Robo reviewers?

no point spot-cleaning in a tide of shit

@EthanBierlein Wut.

@EBrown Reviewers who just click through reviews quickly to beef up their numbers and earn badges.

@EBrown Get a ticket and wait to enter.

11:35 PM

@EthanBierlein Got a ticket.

@Jamal Yet another issue that makes me question the value of one aggregated rep score for all activities

Spoiler alert for Most Exclusive Website

Only a two hour wait? I've waited longer for rollercoasters

274 tickets to wait for me.

@itsbruce It's done in the VLQ queue, too. Some obvious non-answers and link-only answers get my flags cleared as helpful. Sometimes an editor would change a character or two in a link-only answer, causing my VLQ flag to get cleared.

11:38 PM

4.5 hours.

No

Well, that's assuming all the tickets are still booked.

134 people in line, 134/60 = 2.333

@Quill Except that's not how many people are ahead of you.

some of those tickets, the people may have left

it isn't a definite number

11:40 PM

All these robo-Tinders are fun.

Well I'm not waiting for this website.

I have to go to bed.

Oh man, 15 rep to go until I cap, and only 15 minutes left.

@EthanBierlein Links? I'll upvote for you.

Nevermind, found a couple.

Thanks ~~santa~~ @EBrown! ;-)

@EthanBierlein You're welcome. :) I still need 173 to mortarboard today, so I'll just wait until another good day.

Quick! Everybody upvote @EBrown! (JK.)

11:48 PM

@Hosch250 Seriously don't. I'd like to save those for a day I actually need them.

An IE joke

@EBrown JK == Just Kidding.

From what I've seen on SE, the quickest way to farm rep is ask questions.

Q: Prime factorization for integers with up to 9-digit long prime factors

I've become interested prime factorization since solving Project Euler problem 3 (finding the largest prime factor of 600851475143). Learning here that initializing lists with many elements to later prune them is the computational equivalent of swimming with bricks, I challenged myself to code a ...

python performance programming-challenge primes sieve-of-eratosthenes

@Hosch250 I know that, just didn't want anyone to take you seriously. :P

@EBrown IE renders text better than Chrome, anyway.

11:49 PM

@itsbruce nope

Answer's give +10

They don't have to be good questions, just ones that won't be closed or downvoted

@itsbruce Hot questions are better than bad answers.

Hot answers are better than hot questions.

Also, this one is hilarious but potentially offensive. Don't click unless you really want to.

@EBrown I definitely won't with my parents in here.

@Mast ^^

11:50 PM

@EBrown That is dumb.

@SimonForsberg Woah... So pretty!

@Hosch250 But it's totally accurate for IE.

@EBrown What is the latest version you've used?

@Hosch250 11 and Spartan.

I honestly like IE11 though.

So I shouldn't hate.

I used IE 10 and 11 on Windows 8/8.1, and they are both better than Chrome.

Chrome renders super fuzzy (on my system, anyway).

I use a clone of FF primarily.

11:52 PM

Chrome renders fine on mine, it just has funky issues on occasion.

Spartan/Edge is atrocious.

@Hosch250 It seems rather easier to ask a question that will be voted up than to give an answer that will be. A lot of questions get upvotes - still - just by people who mean "answer is OK" when there is now a "no action needed option". So questions can get upvotes from people who don't understand them or don't think they're anything special

@Hosch250 I like the simplicity of it, not much to say about the rest.

Thanks, Santa!

@EBrown Yeah it is really system dependent. One of the most popular threads on the MS forums is the IE rendering issue thread ;)

@EthanBierlein Who knew Brainfuck could be pretty, huh?

11:53 PM

@Hosch250 I really like some of the features in Chrome, though.

@SimonForsberg What do you use for the GUI?

@EBrown So do I.

Like the themes.

I honestly want a simpler, faster browser that can handle many dozens of tabs open at once, though.

Wait, I like the Chrome clone, not Chrome.

Chrome seems to be slow when I open several of them.

11:54 PM

Dragon has a bunch of really good security features that Chrome doesn't have.

I like the UI of IceDragon better, though, and Dragon renders fuzzy.

Timeline of web browsers

This is a timeline of web browsers from the early 1990s to the present. Prior to browsers, many technologies and systems existed for information viewing and transmission. For an in-depth history of earlier web browsers, see the web browser article. == Graphical timeline == == Timeline == === 1990s === The following table chronicles the major release dates during the 1990s for the more popular web browsers. === 2000s === The following table chronicles the major release dates during the 2000s for the more popular web browsers. === 2010s === The following table chronicles the major r...

I bet we get moved soon.

And for all the Linux/Unix guys: futurist.se/gldt

Chrome's design means my favourite browser plugin - vimperator - can never be usefully implemented on it.

@EthanBierlein to make this? JavaFX 8.

11:57 PM

And since Firefox is going to adopt the same basic design strategy, my days of browsing with vi key commands is doomed. The number of sites that can be usefully browsed via w3m is ever decreasing.

@EBrown If/when Edge stops playing like the Vikings/Twins/Wild/Other MN sports teams, you'll be able to use the Chrome add-ons on it.

Another image with potentially offensive language, but it makes a clear distinction between Zelda and Link.

Ugh. My late favorite MS news site hasn't announced the Office 2016 release yet, but their front page is filled with trash.

Used to be you could find relevant and interesting articles there...
