Do escape characters work here?\nNewLine.

Apparently not.

Simon André Forsberg

@SimonAndréForsberg Right. "Monday" and "Morning" add nothing logically. What they do is provide redundant, human-oriented information that is, however, only 100% valid for humans in the same time zone as Greenwich. I am suggesting a UI issue with this proposal, not a logical one. — Isaac Moses 16 mins ago

janos

you can do shift + enter

Simon André Forsberg

@rolfl @janos not sure how to respond to that one ^^

janos

@SimonAndréForsberg wow, that's still going on....

Simon André Forsberg

yes, but I will probably stop now

Hosch250

20:10

Yeah, but what if I want a \t tab?

janos

@SimonAndréForsberg unless you want to enter a world of pain

Hosch250

Does shift-tab work?

Simon André Forsberg

you can copy-paste tabs

janos

I've been itching all evening to use a quote from TBL....

Hosch250

Nope, just a normal tab going backwards.

Simon André Forsberg

20:11

I haven't even seen TBL

Hosch250

Like I keep permanent tabs in my clipboard.

Four spaces is good enough.

janos

you'd probably like it Simon

Q: Ini file parser project

this is my first project, that a share on git. I want you opinions / critics on it. Link : https://github.com/karimsqualli96/sini_parser

c git

SirPython

@CaptainObvious This is no longer off topic.

Simon André Forsberg

20:25

and 2 comments flagged as obsolete :)

^^ that is how you get helpful flags

janos

are you still in the flagging business Simon?

SirPython

It has a very interesting license on GitHub...

Simon André Forsberg

yes, but I am not doing it for a badge anymore.

now I am just flagging things as I see them, I don't use the SEDE for it anymore.

janos

oh there is a SEDE for it?

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython it does indeed, also noticed that :)

@janos I wrote a simple query searching for comments that included "edited" (or some variation of it) and ordered by comment length, as the shortest comments are the most flaggable.

janos

20:29

        DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE
                Version 2, December 2004

SirPython

Now that's my kind of license.

janos

finally a license I actually understand

Simon André Forsberg

it seems like I lost the query though, @janos. but you should have no problems rewriting it

rolfl

Does closing the question qualify as "doing what I want with it?"

Simon André Forsberg

@janos funny, because this one doesn't seem grammatically correct

"DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE" - who is public license and why would I want to do anything to him?

janos

20:31

poor public license

SirPython

Ha! I didn't notice that.

Simon André Forsberg

why uses ini files these days btw?

RubberDuck

@SimonAndréForsberg Valid point of review IMO.

Jeroen Vannevel

Why are there polish, portuguese, croatian and indonesian subtitles but english is apparently too much asked

Simon André Forsberg

@RubberDuck then use it, I won't write an answer myself. I do license the chat message under DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE though.

RubberDuck

20:34

hahaha......

Simon André Forsberg

@JeroenVannevel because the polish are not as good in English as english-speakers are? (assuming the movie is english)

rolfl

@JeroenVannevel Because there's an english voice-track?

Jeroen Vannevel

Yeah but usually that doesn't stop the translators..

I want my subtitles :(

Simon André Forsberg

@JeroenVannevel actually, it does stop the translators because there is nothing to translate.

transcribe however, might be another story.

Jeroen Vannevel

mmhmm I see how it is

200_success

20:48

@SimonAndréForsberg Somewhat surprisingly, Git uses INI files.

Q: Issue With My Methods (Beginner)

It was recommended to me in a previous question to place my equations for my calculators in a separate method. So, I figured out how to make methods and did just that. When I call either Quadratic() or CompInterest() alone in my main method, it works no problem. However, I got the bright idea ...

Hosch250

@CaptainObvious Off-topic.

Simon André Forsberg

@200_success oh, there we go...

@Duga is trying to be funny today:

In fact, I cannot mind as I have no mind!

SirPython

In the help center article about gaining and losing reputation, it says that you get +2 reputation when a suggested edit is accepted(+1000 total per user) - does that mean that you can only get 1000 reputation from this, or that you can only get up to +1000 from different users accepting your edits?

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython when you have the full edit privilege, you don't gain any rep from it

so if you have >= 1000 rep, you don't get +2 anymore

Vogel612

20:53

all else equal: you earn 2 rep for one edit when it's accepted.

SirPython

@Simon But if you got a couple of downvotes from questions, then you would end being able to make more edits before reaching 1000 - would you keep getting rep then?

Vogel612

nope

SirPython

Okay, thanks

Vogel612

oh wait...

Q: Self-made LinkedList and Node in java

However, What I am really concerned about is that which style should be used mostly,(or which style should be used as the main style to implement the LinkedList structure?) When talking a...

java linked-list

Vogel612

20:56

um If you go below the edit privilege, but didn't go above the 1k maximum rep, you'd earn rep again

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython if the down-votes bring you below 1000 reputation, you will get rep from it

but you shouldn't aim for being down-voted!

Vogel612

the 1k overall limit on edits is not related to that though

SirPython

Of course not

Do SE's input boxes use MD?

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython markdown? yes.

SirPython

Thank you.

Jamal

21:15

Some user keeps insisting on posting screenshots for code...

Morwenn

Post an answer as an unreadable low-ref screenshot and ask again.

Hosch250

Can't we close it somehow?

Jamal

Yep, same user, and the accounts have now been merged.

Hosch250

Do we need a new close reason - code posted as image.

Jamal

It probably wouldn't make a good close reason.

This seems to be a rare occurrence anyway. I don't think I've seen it done here before.

200_success

21:19

Downvoting will do for now.

Hosch250

No.

Jamal

The question was updated.

Hosch250

I think I've seen it once before, but the user fixed it promptly.

Aaron Hall

Simon André Forsberg

@Duga inform about new repositories, please.

Duga

[Zomis/Auto-Review] Zomis created repository

SirPython

21:30

Whoa.

@Simon Are you also logged in as Duga, or did you implement a new feature in Duga?

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython new feature that I'm testing out

SirPython

It's pretty cool, I must say.

Simon André Forsberg

I love it already :)

now I will just do a little self-review of this code, clean it up so that I am happy with it, and then get it trashed in a review!

Morwenn

@Duga What are you exactly?

SirPython

Does Duga do that when you type that specific message?

Simon André Forsberg

21:34

@SirPython nope, @Duga currently checks if I have created new repositories every 5 minutes.

SirPython

But right after you said "@Duga inform me about new repositories, please" Duga posted a message

Was that by coincidence?

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython that was me timing things ;)

SirPython

Darn - you get my hopes up ;-)

Simon André Forsberg

Simon André Forsberg

SirPython

Ah.. that makes sense.

Is there an API for creating and updating Gists?

Simon André Forsberg

@rolfl (or another Linux master) you have any clue what upstart --user is? I read upstart --help but not quite sure what it really is or why it is there...

SirPython

Did you read the man page?

Simon André Forsberg

not yet

SirPython

Here is what is says for --user:

Simon André Forsberg

21:41

@SirPython developer.github.com/v3/gists

SirPython

--user Starts in user mode, as used for user sessions. Upstart will be
run as an unprivileged user, reading configuration files from
configuration locations as per roughly XDG Base Directory Speci‐
fication. See init(5) for further details.

Duga

Morwenn

Good work, Simon

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython this might have something to do with @Duga being so active in chat recently:

Q: Is this a good way of parsing a mathematical expression

RubberDuck

Hosch250

@Mat'sMug Do you think I could get someone to intern me for programming at my level?

In C#, that is.

Or am I not good enough compared to the competition?

Mat's Mug

@Hosch250 Intern you, as in lock you up in a padded room? ..oh wait.... lol

Hosch250

I have to take an internship in 2016.

For school.

Mat's Mug

@Hosch250 Stick around, in 2016 you can teach your teachers new tricks ;)

Hosch250

I could already - in comment usage.

janos

22:24

I'd happily take you

Hosch250

@janos Thanks.

You see, I am an IT Management major, not a CS major.

I only have three programming classes available, and I think I only need to take two of them for my degree.

The first one was Java basics (I could have taught that class).

janos

I'm on the lookout for an intern now

Hosch250

Oh, where?

janos

in Paris

Hosch250

Mmm.

Doing what?

Malachi

22:26

how do you use CoffeeScript with Angular? what is coffeescript again and is it possible to use Angular with it?

SirPython

CoffeeScript is a better looking JavaScript.

Hosch250

@Malachi Sounds like a research question from my U.

janos

all the annoying tasks I don't want to do myself

Hosch250

Q: sha1sum implementation in C++

I rarely program C++ in anger, and considered myself somewhat rusty, and certainly not up to speed on C++11. For a bit of exercise, I thought I'd try implementing sha1sum, as wasn't really up to speed with topics such as cryptographic hash functions either. (Yes, yes, you shouldn't use SHA-1 in ...

c++ c++11

janos

22:27

I'm sure you could

Hosch250

Well, I'm taking five classes now, couldn't do an internship too.

Especially not in Paris.

I suppose I should maybe ask this at Academia or The Workplace, but do you think I should take my internship the summer before my Senior year, or after I finish the rest of my classes?

I could probably arrange either with my U.

janos

back in my day there were no internship programs like this, so no idea

Simon André Forsberg

I've never done any Academic programming studies so I also have no idea

Hosch250

If I stay here, I will probably get it with Medica.

If I wait until I'm done, I could move out and go try with Microsoft (I want to work on Office).

skiwi

@Hosch250 Usually things can get arranged nowadays, be aware that you need some internship tutor that's available every (other) week and is in this case also up for Skype conversations, or have it out-sourced to a local university then

Hosch250

22:33

@skiwi I'm online anyway.

I am an online student, so nothing will change either way.

Mat's Mug

@Hosch250 And build Rubberduck into the VBE? ;p

Hosch250

They wouldn't let me.

Anyway, I don't know VBA, so I doubt they would let me touch that.
