@ManishEarth have any idea how to get a site's API key from a userscript?

ManishEarth

API key?

Undo

@ManishEarth Or API name, you know.

ManishEarth

sites don't have API keys

oh that. Um, /sites should have a search option

Undo

@ManishEarth Yeah, but I want to from a userscript.

ManishEarth

look around the page

Undo

5:16 PM

Ah, we'll just use the domain. That works.

We could use this to set-up a cron script to post Rebecca Black every friday!

3ventic

yup

Undo

$.ajax({
			type: "POST",
			url: "http://" + domain + "/cinder/flag.php",
			data: argstring,
			success: function(data)
			{
					console.log(data);
					var obj = JSON.parse(data.toString());
					alert(obj.count);
			},
		});

^ @ManishEarth how do I parse teh JSONz?

ManishEarth

dunno

Undo

;(

3ventic

How can data be undefined there?

Undo

5:51 PM

I have no idea

ManishEarth

@Undo `debugger;' it, then you can run the console in that context when it breaks

Undo

@ManishEarth how do I do that?

oh, that was dumb :P

wrong ajax thing :P

@ManishEarth You know that mod thing that shows a button to show deleted comments next to posts? Can I haz teh HTML?

@ManishEarth @hichris I think Cinder is just about ready to go.

:D

ooh, I should put it on the real server :P

ManishEarth

yay

@Undo spoiler alert

You can do this one in every 30 times and still have 97% positive feedback.

Undo

@ManishEarth heh, seen it ;)

my goodness, this seems to be chatflag day.

ManishEarth

You didn't get what I meant apparently. Oh well

Undo

@ManishEarth oh, now I'm curious as to what you meant ;(

^ Hah!

What's that?

@3ventic Alt text for the XKCD above

3ventic

oh lol

What are the charcoal links in the room description, by the way?

Undo

@3ventic Oh, just for easy access.

@3ventic Want a Charcoal login?

3ventic

Sure

Seems like something I could be a part of

Undo

@3ventic Ok, I need an email address to send login details to.

3ventic

You develop it?

Undo

6:49 PM

Yes. Me and hichris and Manish

3ventic

(awesome address, I know)

got it

:d

yeah, nice

Let's hope it works again and I actually get the email to my gmail

Undo

6:50 PM

Well... let's hope my automated email sender gizmo works first :P

3ventic

Sometimes I have to go looking for it in the original mailbox

He-heyyy it worked

Undo

Yay!

3ventic

So it works like flag reviews?

Undo

@3ventic Kinda sorta.

You go through the list and click the show context button, then select all the comments in the thread that should be flagged, and click valid. If there aren't any, you click invalid.

Then you go to the top and use Manish's Javascript Generator Gizmo and click the generate button.

3ventic

What's the (please-delete) thingy?

Undo

6:53 PM

@3ventic The reason it's in the list

ManishEarth

"Manish's Javascript Generator Gizmo"

3ventic

go through all the valid/invalid and then click generate at top?

Undo

Yup.

Or do however many you want.

3ventic

top or bottom generate?

Undo

@3ventic Whichever one has the little green orb thingy on it.

Probably top

3ventic

6:55 PM

Oh, alrighty

Probably have to check my available flags too?

Undo

@3ventic Yeah, that's a good idea

Otherwise it'll just do as many as it can

ManishEarth

@3ventic there's a little help thing that gives info

3ventic

@ManishEarth don't see it

Undo

@3ventic It's a little question mark

3ventic

Oh, there

easy to miss

Very nice site btw

Undo

6:57 PM

It would be ugly except for the Bootstrap part :P

Site sans bootstrap :P

@3ventic But thanks ;)

3ventic

Mods are gonna hate me :d

Undo

7:24 PM

They already hate me, welcome to the club.

3ventic

Unless I become one

But that seems highly unlikely...

Oh @hichris123 Cinder is almost done

hichris123

@Undo Yay! So will Cinder feed into Smoke Detector?

ManishEarth

Always nice to get recognition in open source

Undo

@hichris123 No, if anything the other way around.

ManishEarth

@Undo wait, why not?

Undo

@ManishEarth Oh, we could do that, couldn't we!

@hichris123 Maybe

@ManishEarth Yay for recognition!

ManishEarth

Maybe make it "if-two-people-find-it-spammy-smoke-detect"

not sure

(that's the Mozilla Monument)

hichris123

@ManishEarth Ooh. :P

@ManishEarth Trademark it. Now.

So did anything else new happen while I was gone?

Undo

@hichris123 Other than Manish's smoke detector turning into a new-question detector, nope.

@hichris Oh, I made @3ventic a Charcoal login.

hichris123

8:49 PM

@Undo I saw that while I was in school. :P

@Undo Ooh, yay!

Undo

And there were like ten chatflags today. But you probably don't care about that :P

hichris123

No, cause me no 10k network-wide. :P

Bridge flags?

3ventic

I didn't see any chatflags today

They come and go too quickly for me to see them

Undo

@hichris123 We need a better findspam class that can take in title and site and spit out spamminess

It's the same post it already picked up earlier

ManishEarth

8:59 PM

@3ventic it's on bump

hichris123

@ManishEarth Algo you mean?

ManishEarth

Basically, have an array of dicts. Each dict has a regex and an array of whitelisted OR blacklisted sites

That way we can run the sports regexes on every site but Sports, the money regexes on non financial sites, etc

hichris123

googles dictionaries in Python

:P

ManishEarth

@hichris123 If you can make a better method, that would be nice. Don't overwrite the current one.

take your time, I'm going to be a bit sluggish on ChatExchange/SmokeDetector development after this

hichris123

@ManishEarth You actually have schoolwork after this then? I thought college was easy... :)

ManishEarth

Oh hell no

Well, it can be easy, but I've overloaded myself

Undo

yay essays!

ManishEarth

And I'm organizing a hackathon this weekend so my time is borked. (not sure if I'll participate)

Also, got to submit a patch to Firefox sometimeish

half-written. I have no clue how FF unit testing works. /must figure out

Also other extracurrics

Also life. Must have a life. Can't forget that.

hichris123

@ManishEarth What is this life you speak of?

ManishEarth

9:05 PM

Hey, I do have a life!

commit streak != !life

3ventic

commit streak is not not life?

kalina

nope
