The custom 404 is probably something after graduation, right?

Chris Jester-Young

@TimWolla Correct, as Doorknob has already commented.

Doorknob

Not until we graduate from beta. — Doorknob 37 secs ago

Chris Jester-Young

Jinx!

TimWolla

The next meta post is number 1337. I am two numbers too early :(

Doorknob

10:01 PM

@ChrisJester-Young You were faster >:O

TimWolla

Must think of something

Chris Jester-Young

@Doorknob I have the Dvorak Advantage. ;-)

Doorknob

Frantically thinking of meta thing to post

@ChrisJester-Young Irrelevant to copy/paste :P

hichris123

joins room to star stuff

Doorknob

@hichris123 is room owner

>:D

Chris Jester-Young

10:02 PM

@Doorknob Hehehehe, still, I've used Dvorak for over 10 years and I'm very happy with it and enjoy bringing it up whenever I have an opportunity to talk about fast typing. :-P

Doorknob

I am prepared now!

TimWolla

@ChrisJester-Young Dvorak is unusable for me!

Because of the language, not because of the layout.

Chris Jester-Young

@TimWolla Well, it is tailored for English, for sure.

hichris123

@Doorknob Not really. :P

Doorknob

@hichris123 Hmm, the cancel stars functionality is quite slow. TO THE USERSCRIPTS! :D

Chris Jester-Young

10:04 PM

@hichris123 You could get banned. Would you like that?

I don't know if Doorknob has the power to ban you, but I definitely do.

Doorknob

uses new owner powers

hichris123

@ChrisJester-Young Prefer not to... moves to another room

Doorknob doesn't.

@Undo shhhh

@Undo Good to know.

10:04 PM

;)

hichris123

@Doorknob I should totally make the random starring of things room

Chris Jester-Young

@hichris123 That's called Sandbox, surely?!

hichris123

True.

Doorknob

→ 1 message moved to Sandbox

yes. :D

hichris123

@Doorknob You have no Room Owner powerz in chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1/sandbox. :D

I'm kinda getting bored of this actually... quick, @Doorknob make me an auto-star script!

:P

Doorknob

10:07 PM

@hichris123 nevar >:O

TimWolla

Better idea: Make a crap autocloser for PCG and SO.

Chris Jester-Young

@hichris123 In the mods-only chat room, gratuitous starring of stuff is a definite no-no.

TimWolla

Preferably for the PHP tags.

Chris Jester-Young

because the chat room is pretty high-traffic.

hichris123

@ChrisJester-Young Yeah, I know. Stars are used to denote important moderation info.

Chris Jester-Young

10:10 PM

@Undo So is "software-wrecks" (as it's called in you-know-where) the only site you mod for? Or do you have others?

Undo

@ChrisJester-Young SR only

hichris123

rofl. TL sure is imaginative. :P

Undo

Slow enough that I can handle it, active enough that I don't get bored.

Chris Jester-Young

Yeah, my sentiments about Code Golf exactly.

TimWolla

Just looking at the badges. I wonder if someone ever will get tenacious.

Chris Jester-Young

10:12 PM

@TimWolla Speaking of badges nobody will ever get, once upon a time Stack Overflow had a Hacker badge.

hichris123

@ChrisJester-Young Really?

That's why it's been mentioned! :P

TimWolla

@ChrisJester-Young For reporting a security vulnerability?

Chris Jester-Young

@TimWolla Sorta kinda. The criteria were never really disclosed.

@hichris123 Let's just say that I was probably on-track to possibly getting one, except the badge died a fiery death before that happened. :-P

Undo

@ChrisJester-Young wait, that was a thing?

TimWolla

sigh There really needs to be an recommend to be audit in Review.

Chris Jester-Young

10:14 PM

@Undo Yes, it was for real.

Undo

huh

TimWolla

And electro shocks for the Robos

Q: Message option popup disappears when any message is starred

Steps to reproduce: Have someone star a message Click the little arrow next to the message on the star list Have the same person star a different message while the popup is still up The popup disappears on starring a new message, which ruins whatever you were trying to do with it. Why is thi...

@hichris ^ ;)

Chris Jester-Young

@TimWolla Good idea. For which site? This? It probably needs to graduate first.

hichris123

@ChrisJester-Young You should bother Nick for it now. :P

Doorknob

10:15 PM

> star-trolls who run in and start starring everything in sight

TimWolla

@ChrisJester-Young Na, SO. Obviously.

Doorknob

ahem ahem

TimWolla

But we have some Robos as well :(

hichris123

rofl

I... made a feature request happen. :P

Doorknob

@TimWolla srsly? :O Linky plz?

hichris123

10:16 PM

@Doorknob More of a bug, don't you think?

Doorknob

@hichris123 Perhaps. I'll keep it as a FR for now

Undo

I added [bug]

because... it is :P

oh

Anna killed [bug]

hichris123

@Undo Anna already removed it. :P

Undo

:P

Doorknob

Did Anna just @Undo the tag change? :O

Undo

10:17 PM

I guess I'm wrong, then.

hichris123

That... was quick.

28 seconds.

Doorknob

(yay for abusing words in usernames)

Undo

hehe

TimWolla

@Doorknob Maybe not technically Robo, but with some strange decisions. But nvm.

Doorknob

okay then

Q: Prevent repeated starring and unstarring of messages

It appears that you get to blink stars on any message as frequently as you want, as long as you want. Some child on The Bridge has just found out about this and the only approach I can think of - banning people at random until the abuse stops - is not something I feel like applying right now. Pl...

@Anna Well that edit was quick. :P

@hichris123 irrelevant to starring everything

wat, I just got a 0 on the flag bubble

hichris123

@Doorknob ... what do you mean?

TimWolla

Oh an offensive flag on the Bridge again.

Doorknob

@hichris123 You? ;)

hichris123

@Doorknob Meh, you kinda have to unstar them to get your stars back...

Doorknob

10:19 PM

me too

Doorknob

@hichris123 But you star-happies don't care about that, do you? Just wait another day ;)

@Undo Strange. I think I vaguely remember a meta thing about it

yeah

Q: Solve a deterministic version of 2048 using the fewest bytes

Create a script that, when given as the AI to http://quadmasterxlii.github.io/2048/ , gets a 2048 tile. Fewest bytes wins.

@vzn "is informal" This is a formal kind of site. (Kind of. ;-)) "allows users to dash off questions faster" How in the world is that a good thing? "considering how fast/easily questions can be closed" Only if you dash off questions fast without thinking about them. Oh wait.... "minutia" Okay but it's quite annoying to me.

"formal" geez man....

TimWolla

2048 is overrated.

Doorknob

any more problems any of you see with it?

@Shahar Too bad you can't post it. You can only post stuff that can be shared under CC-Wiki, which usually means you have to write it yourself. :-P
