Now that you're a mod @MattЭллен can you automatically see removed messages?

I can see what was deleted by looking at the history of a deleted message

icic

or i don't get to c i don't get to c :D

:D

so you don't get a history link if you click on the little down arrow next to a deleted message? (like the down arrow next to a normal message)

this is all I can see

I see. thanks

@Robusto-san. 大石 means a big stone. But phonetically Oishi corresponds to 美味しい　(oishii - delicious). I used to introduce myself as Oishi = delicious to expatriate clients and colleagues. And they called me Mr. Delicious. They also used to call me "Dirty oldman" since when I was in 40s in age.

@YoichiOishi you need an "@" symbol in front of the name

Skullpatrol. What does it mean?

@skullpatrol. Thank you. I got it.

np

Is there something like reset hard in TFS?

Doing things VERY manually right now

Not tried it, I'm afraid.

8:48 AM

Don't be afraid :)

but MS version control systems are scary!

I don't know if I prefer SVN or TFS

I do not like SVN

me neither

everytime I use it I make a mistake

8:51 AM

I suck at GIT but it is very rare that I accuse it of not working like it should

I don't like acronyms that I don't know what the letters stand for :-)

All are version control systems

thanks

SVN = subversion
TFS = Team Foundation Server (I think)
GIT = git

SVN is an abbreviation and git is a word?

8:53 AM

yes

@YoichiOishi You can also click the arrow to the far right of a message to reply to that message. When you get a ping, which means someone used @Yoichi, you can follow the arrow and see which message they replied to. Very nice feature that I have not seen in other chats.

Git (software)

Git is a distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) system with an emphasis on speed, data integrity, A brief description of Git's data integrity design goals. and support for distributed, non-linear workflows. Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development in 2005, and has since become the most widely adopted version control system for software development. As with most other distributed revision control systems, and unlike most client-server systems, every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete...

@MattЭллен interesting "usage notes" on my link.

@skullpatrol unparliamentary language indeed!

@MattЭллен we have a user named Git Gund :D

Mercurial

Mercurial is a cross-platform, distributed revision control tool for software developers. It is mainly implemented using the Python programming language, but includes a binary diff implementation written in C. It is supported on MS Windows and Unix-like systems, such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Linux. Mercurial is primarily a command line program but graphical user interface extensions are available. All of Mercurial's operations are invoked as arguments to its driver program hg, a reference to the chemical symbol of the element mercury. Mercurial's major design goals include high performa...

@medica could you check my other ping at you

!!define sequel

@cc sequela (pathology) A disease or condition which is caused by an earlier disease or problem.

@cc sequel (narratology) A narrative that is written after another narrative set in the same universe, especially a narrative that is chronologically set after its predecessors, or (perhaps improper usage) any narrative that has a preceding narrative of its own.

@skullpatrol :)

@JohanLarsson :-)

10:23 AM

I'm at work so not very chatty

np, check it out when you get home

@cc - I didn't get a ping :(

@skullpatrol - do you know why my attempt to post a message to Matt times out?

@medica probably the internet connection

It workes for you and cc... ?

yep

10:39 AM

His internet connection? I don't uderstand.

No, yours

@medica try a reboot, sometimes that works

why would it be fine for you and cc but not for matt? (I tried twice.)

ok.

dunno, sorry

@MattЭллен - are you still here?

Btw @medica did you know Klitschko is tied with Muhammad Ali for second on the all-time list for most heavyweight title fights with 25, behind only Joe Louis with 27

10:43 AM

no!

from wikipedia

gosh

those are legends

I hope he is ok in 30 years

Joe lewis was ok, though, wasn't he?

I think so...

Sumo wrestlers don't live past 50 on average

400 to 500 pounds

10:45 AM

What do they die of usually?

don't you cringe when someone takes a bad one to the head and goes down?

Oh. diabetes?

I was just going to s

ask that

probably heart failure would be my guess

yep

inability to breath from crushing weight

10:47 AM

obesity

sleep apnea

life...

inabilty to see toes

tripping down stairs

inability to wipe

ha ha!

can't reach

infections, you know

10:48 AM

500 ponds is TWO line backers in the NFL

250 doesn't seem big enough for football nowadays

no

a receiver or defensive back

needs at least 200 lbs

hey, whatever happened to that Miami dolphin who was bullying the nice African American player (the one who quit in, like, dedcember?)y

I read that as a question about news from nature, not football

10:51 AM

ik lol i changed it! lol

(still laughing)

dolphin...plater... I saw that on national geographic

do you know who I'm talking about?

the alligator came out of the water at the last minute, scaring off the lion from dragging the baby wildebeest into the pond.

(I know, when I re-read it, it looked like a marine mammal was bullying a nice Black man!

lolol

I do have a vague idea.

10:53 AM

is THAT what happened?

the lion or the Miami Dolphin?

Jonathan Martin was his name. Nice guy (big).

In November, he was placed on the Dolphins non-football injury list with full pay. His contract does not expire until 2015.

Incognito was suspended with pay in December and will become a free agent next month.

“The behavior that occurred here was harmful to the players, the team and the league,” the report concluded. “There are lines -- even in a football locker room -- that should not be crossed, as they were here.”

Football lovers will probably debate this case for years to come. But Martin, whatever his fate, deserves our thanks. Good for him for bringing this sordid, unacceptable beh…

So, who is Ingcognito playing for now?

@medica hi! I had w--k to deal with. I'm back now

10:57 AM

(remember how people couldn't believe a 312 pound Black guy could be bullied?

@MattЭллен have a few minutes?

@medica I think so :D

your room?

OK

I'm sure the locker room is no different because of it, "OK Everybody great game today, quick announcement, try to keep the N-word on the down low because the media will take a chunk of our ass for it. OK ladies?"

see you

11:12 AM

@Robusto. Robusto-san. You said "you have my e-mail here" earlier in the chat. but I haven't gotten your e-mail, or e-mail address.

@YoichiOishi Shall I send it to you, Oishi-san?

And thank you for sharing your name with us. It was quite enlightening.

@KitFox. Please send it. Though I can't guess what it is. I'm delighted.

@YoichiOishi I have emailed it to you.

11:56 AM

►

omg, Ephemeral Rift is an EL&U regular.

@KitFox Really? Who? Can you tell us?

^Pineapple relaxation video.

Ah! OK :)

Does anyone actually sit through one of those things from start to finish?

1 hour 2 minutes

@terdon I do.

12:01 PM

@KitFox Seriously? Actually watching or just leaving it on in the background?

I don't often watch the whole thing, but I do watch parts of it.

I listen to it all.

1 hour 2 minutes later...

Sometimes I get much stronger tingles if I watch too.

Wow. OK.

Gonna try one while coding now.

12:05 PM

@terdon You are immune?

Do you get tingles?

yes

too relaxing for me ...zzzZZZ

@JohanLarsson What's your favorite trigger?

@Cerberus Pretty much, yes. I find the sounds more annoying and grating than relaxing.

12:06 PM

Haha OK.

Understandable.

Have you watched E.R.'s stuff before? It's weird, and fun.

...zzzZZZzzz...zzzZZZzzz...

@KitFox Don't know enough to have a favorite trigger. What triggers are there?

@KitFox A couple that you've posted. Never saw one that made me want to leave it on, I just randomly skipped to get an idea of what it is.

@JohanLarsson Ah, you get the tingles too?

12:07 PM

@JohanLarsson Whispering, low talking, crinkles, tapping, brushing are sound triggers.

!!define crinkle

@JohanLarsson crinkle (transitive, intransitive) To fold, crease, crumple, or wad.

It sounds like it. Onomatopoetic.

11:26 of the vid above has crinkling.

I think I pick brushing from that set, whispering can be nice but depends on voice.

I like accents.

12:09 PM

yeah

There are also situational triggers, like sharing gossip, caretaking, close interaction.

Trying to sound sexy spoils it for me.

Yep.

I don't do it for sexy.

@KitFox Doing tests like tarot-cards can can trigger it.

Ugh, not sexy.

Then it changes genre. And it'd better be someone very attractive for me to watch such a boring video.

12:11 PM

@JohanLarsson OK, so sharing what do they call that? It's like show and tell, I guess. That might be a trigger for you.

@Cerberus I meant live

There are certain hand movements that put me in a daze.

Ilse (Waterwhispers) has one where she shares a book about Norway.

@KitFox I don't have a word for it, maybe it goes under caretaking or just attention idk.

@JohanLarsson You have deliberately tried doing it live?

nope, just thought of it now

12:12 PM

Could be nice to have your girlfriend try it.

But...sexy.

Yes! Same tingles.

So it's cool that you have the tingles too.

Tried ^ live, works very well with my hair :)

Haha.

I think that thing works for everyone.

But I have to go.

Happy tingling!

@Cerberus I tried it on my dog but it got stuck in the fur.

12:16 PM

Haha.

Aww.

Bye!

true story & bai

@JohanLarsson I am a slave to head massages.

you also need a slave doing it

:D

Not as bad as it looks, Stylecop warnings > errors

12:18 PM

Slows VS down quite a bit though

@JohanLarsson oh. stylecop.

@MattЭллен Code Analysis All rules?

@JohanLarsson I don't know

Is there a way to clean the error list?

12:20 PM

not have any errors :D

I don't think they go away, otherwise

:)

Clean sln works but takes time

You could fix the errors.

Alraxite

That's my game over screen.

Not saying this is nonsense, but this is utter nonsense.

There are invisible tiles in those empty places.

Not to mention that the tiles themselves may be empty spaces.

It's all a trick.

12:25 PM

The Illuminati are behind it

Well, true enlightenment comes when you realize there is no tile.

Alraxite

The game is even more baffling when you see it in action.

The tiles merge and also disjoin into other tiles.

You mean threes? It was all the rage in here a few months ago.

you still are

Alraxite

I'm sure you were the rage in here.

12:28 PM

lulz

@MattЭллен You cheated. You did that on a project with no content.

@Mitch ha! sadly not. This project has all the content. it's 99% bugs

If it compiles, ship it.

:D I tried that but people complained that it didn't work as they wanted it to. I tried to explain that it worked as I'd coded it to, but they weren't satisfied.

Oh head massages. I thought that was head messages.

I thought you were talking about git repos.

12:38 PM

:D

git repos are more relaxing that other repos, but not as relaxing as head massages

@Mitch Compiler as code review!

Our website is so crappy. I am trying to find something pretty basic, and I have been searching for five or ten minutes.
