SE Chess

I've flagged some moderator comments for being obsolete, and I have a suspicion that the same moderator might have handled it because they were the only active one.

Doorknob

@Hosch250 Yes:

But an actual flag? Not sure. Maybe.

I've probably handled autoflags (ex. too many comments) on my own posts before.

But if it was something like a NAA or custom flag, I'd probably delegate to another mod.

Hosch250

I see.

I'm considering running for mod on CR when it graduates, but I doubt I have enough time.

I earned my rep over about 4 months, but I've not been too active lately as I've had a ton of school to do.

Just wrapping up the toughest section, and I'll hardly have anything to do til finals.

Someone should make a bot for this room where you can play chess right here if you do !chessboard or some command with like !kg2 or something to move. Only annoying thing would be setting up the engine itself and probably forcing it to format it right

@JeffreyLin Do you know how to program?

user43095

@Hosch250 Can sorta read, can't really write.

Hosch250

This would actually be a good next project for me, sometime, if I had a server I could run it on.

I need to study AI's and networking in .NET more.

user43095

A cheap server should be a couple bucks a month.

5.

I need one for my app anyway, if I ever get time to implement quizzes.

Seth

Free if you can get the GitHub student pack.

(free for a year or so)

Hosch250

I won't be a student forever...

user43095

@Seth So glad I got that when it first came out, the requests are super backlogged now.

Seth

@JeffreyLin Oh really?

user43095

Well, long enough that by the time you're not a student anymore, you'll be able to afford the $5/m

user43095

2:32 AM

@Seth That's what I hear anyway. I don't even use the stuff I acquired anyway, not sure what I'd deploy or whatever other resources they gave me.

Seth

Yeah that's why I haven't really tried to get one.

Not sure what I'd do with any of it.

Hosch250

I'm going to implement $.99 quizzes in my app (if I find time), so if I can get 6 a month...

user43095

lol

Seth

or you could just add ads..

user43095

Think there was a study a while back about IAP/pro version and which one worked better phychologically.

Hosch250

2:36 AM

The Windows Store system lets MS have 30% of that (same as Apple's store), in exchange for hosting my app and stuff.

@Seth That would work, if I could get my users to use it for more than 15 seconds a day.

I'm planning on doing that too, though.

user43095

Why does Atom look so similar to Sublime Text?

Hosch250

That is why I'm doing the quizzes - to get my users to use it!

Seth

@JeffreyLin because when you can't beat.. copy it?

they are actually quite different.. IMO

user43095

Yeah, only the first picture looked the same.

Hosch250

Anyway, then I could write a Desktop WPF version and have a place to host the installer.

I'm being called to do the dishes, so TTYL.

user43095

A lot of this looks more for startups than students.

user43095

CrowdFlower and SendGrid?

Hosch250

3:42 AM

@JeffreyLin Looks like it is designed for student startups to me.

Anyone around to play?

Hosch250 has removed Hosch250 from the list of this room's owners.

Unihedro

@Hosch250 Me!

Hosch250

Sure!

@Unihedro Would you mind re-making me a room owner?

Unihedro

@JeffreyLin I think the github pack is for "learning by doing professionally".

Feeds

Unihedro has added Hosch250 to the list of this room's owners.

Unihedro

3:47 AM

There you go. :p

Hosch250

OK.

I was playing around, and I un-room-ownered myself ;P

I didn't know I could do that.

@Unihedro Got a favorite variant?

Unihedro

Any will do.

Hosch250

lichess.org/71rmwGkB

I think I accidentally got in a game with someone I don't know.

en.lichess.org/go5KLpPnWVio

It didn't ask whether I wanted to...

They won.

Time out.

Unihedro

lol

Hosch250

Nice.

Unihedro

3:56 AM

gg

Hosch250

I thought I had you when I forked you.

I mean, I thought I had a piece.

Unihedro

Right :p

But I sacrificed the knights for a positional advantage, which helped me at the end.

Rematch?

Hosch250

Sure, hold on.

The other guy sent a rematch and I accepted.

Whoops gtg

bai'

Hosch250

Bye.

4:53 AM

Hi, @Unihedro

Unihedro

Hiya!

Hosch250

I've been getting myself thrashed over there :(

Unihedro

Lunch break.

Hosch250

I won a couple.

Nice, I should have been in bed a while ago.

Unihedro

:O Congrats!

Hosch250

4:54 AM

Actually, I can't get ready for bed for a while.

So, are you in Australia too?

I know someone in a different room from Australia.

Unihedro

HKSAR

Hosch250

Oh, Hong Kong?

I know people around the world!

Unihedro

Affirmative.

Hosch250

(I had to Bing that, don't think I'm a geography whiz.)

Unihedro

Me too. The Internet has wasted so much of my time.

Hosch250

4:58 AM

College wastes so much of mine - I study things I know and don't study what I want to know.

Some things I don't know, and a lot of what I don't know I find interesting

Now I can get ready for bed. See you.

12:39 PM

@Unihedro you play chess?

Unihedro

@HamZa I made this room happen.

18 hours ago, by Unihedro

Sam, Fox and I started playing chess in the SO Tavern. Then I brought it up on Tavern on the Meta with Undo and bjb, which eventually grew the interest of chess.

I do a lot of things. xD

HamZa

nice
