Q: How to take back flags?

Angus AtkinsonRecently, I flagged this answer as 'Not an answer'. Now, after looking at it a couple of times, I have realized that this is an answer, just it is extremely badly written and needs editing. So my question is: how do I take back a flag that I have put on a question/answer? If this is not possibl...

Q: Would asking why the TF2 Market is and began fluctuating be a valid question?

Shadow Z.I want to know why the TF2 economy started changing crazily, but I don't know if it would be considered a valid question on this site. Should I ask it, or would it likely be closed?

Q: Why can't I post an answer to a question?

Q: Bridge Movie Night 4: A New Movie

YuukiGood <insert time of day>, everyone. Movie Night's been great fun. Three runs in (technically four with the 2 nights scheduled for Guardians of the Galaxy and Big Hero 6) and I think we have a pretty good understanding on how to handle Movie Night. So, here we go. Date: May 23-24 (Saturday, Sun...

Q: Why should 1 reputation be deducted from downvoting?

Angus AtkinsonI know that 1 reputation is deducted when you down-vote an answer. My question is - why do you lose this reputation? Why should we be punished for down-voting an incorrect or badly written answer? The aim of Arqade and Stack Exchange in general is to have 'good answers rise to the top', and bad...

 
@SepiaLazers It lives! ... well, one of the feedbots does.

I mean, houses shouldn't be moving! They should be fixed to the ground!
 
But houses also want to be free and roam around.
 
That's why you stab them

Q: Is there a way I can unmark my Sim as late for work?

SimmerI signed on to play my game and found a Sim severely late to work. I ended up sending him still, but I was wondering if there was any way I could make it like he was never late. Is there a cheat code? Or can I edit a save file?

Q: Is Easy as hard as it gets?

Q: How are resources shared in multiplayer Dungeon of the Endless?

MagicianIn a multiplayer game of Dungeon of the Endless, resources that get generated each door get shared weirdly between each player. There is some non-trivial rounding going on behind the scenes, and sometimes upgrading a generator or placing a mechanical pal does nothing. How does it work?

Q: I can't play Minecraft after updating my Java

Naz BenWell, i tried and tried almost all the solutions i can find online but am unable to find the source of this predicament. It would be great if someone can help me out here. This is what i have on my profile editor: Appreciate if you can assist me, need my Minecraft fix!

 
The feeds need fixing, I tell you.
 
uhm... Hi fake @lazers?
 
8:49 AM
Seems like they are working on it
 
9:02 AM
I heard you like questions
 
From who?
 
Aw
I was expecting Lazers to start posting all questions in the last 30 hours in a single go
Oh well.
 
This also looks like spam
 
@5pike How is running an extra service even going to lower your ping?
 
@Arperum It doesn't, obviously.
 
9:07 AM
@5pike Rhetorical questions and such.
 
When I was younger, I used to have lots of those "gaming/ping acceleration programs", and I always wondered why my performance was so bad.
This was in a time before I had easy access to the internet.
Most programs came from a "gaming" magazine.
I wonder if they also had no easy internet access.
 
9:21 AM
@5pike wat.
 
@Arperum They had a CD which included some games and software.
 
@5pike And a massive lack of knowledge about what ping was.
 
I think I still have some lying around. I might look through them sometime.
@Arperum Yes, definitely.
 
Gah. SHould I join in some sort of competition to win a duo ticket for the Blind Guardian show in Hamburg on may 2nd?
Decisions....
 
What kind of competition?
 
9:37 AM
"Get most facebook likes on your post"
 
No
Well, I personally wouldn't, because the possibility that those are rigged are quite high.
 
Top 3 wins. Current status after a week of the competition running is 55,38,17,14,7, with three days left to go.
I'm pretty convinced I can gather a good 20 something likes on a comment.
 
Well, you can always go to fiverr and buy some likes ...
 
9:57 AM
@5pike That just sounds cheaty.
 
It totally is.
 
Yea, not doing that. I don't like cheating.
 
And I thought you were a Blind Guardian fan </joke>
 
cc @Frank @JasonBerkan
 
@5pike Yes, but not a cheater. ANd 20+ likes in a non-cheating way sounds completely doable.
 
10:04 AM
I didn't much sleep at all lst night.
I think I got 4 hours.
I think I'll get a cup of coffee, remember how much I hate it, and struggle through ahalf a cup in the hopes it makes me less tired.
 
@Wipqozn :(
 
@TrentHawkins I love you.
I like how you made him angry, because he probably will be when he sees that image.
 
Apr 15 at 9:06, by 5pike
Coffee is a vile substance. It gets somewhat bearable when you add suggar and some milk.
Apr 15 at 9:07, by 5pike
If it would not contain caffeine, nobody would drink it.
 
@5pike That';s what I plan to do
I've never had a full cup of coffee
 
10:20 AM
I'm sure pure coffee is an acquired taste, but it's one I'm never trying to get.

Q: Is there a place where I can see how all past game choices affect dragon age inquisition

ElliottAs the title says I was wondering if there is anywhere online where I would be able to see a list of all of the choices that you make across dragon age and dragon age 2 and see how it would affect dragon age inquisition?

 
@5pike Coffee with milk tastes weak.
Once you go black, you never go back
I drink ristrettos these days. It's like a stronger espresso.
 
@5pike Same here. I prefer not to be dependantn on coffee to function in the mornings.
 
@fredley Coffee without milk tastes like dirt
 
@Wipqozn Dependant Schmependant
@5pike Coffee with milk doesn't taste of coffee any more.
 
10:33 AM
@fredley Good.
 
Pure coffee is a wonderfully complex taste
It's delicious
 
@fredley So is dirt
 
@5pike Each to their own. I prefer coffee.
 
Yeah, we shouldn't argue about taste...

Q: X-COM panic reduction woes

PalpitatorSo I'm playing the game on classic and panic gets crazy... thus far everything was running smoothly until it so happens the UK is now on 5 bars of panic... and it already has a satellite on it... and at the start of this month I completed the alien base assault... I see no possible way to decreas...

 
Is it...
Is it a feed? :O
 
But it's not Lazers.
 
MS Powerpoint: align two identical shapes centered, drag auto-connector from bottom mid-point of one to top mid-point of the other - line is at an angle
wut
 
user15026
@wipqozn you drink coffee like I do. (aka I don't like the taste of it without lots of help)
 
10:49 AM
Drag connectors for whole column of aligned shapes: they are all at an angle
 
@AshleyNunn They let me sample every coffee
and they were all equally disgusting
so then she suggested lattee
I like it
 
Latte is the weakest form of coffee. If you need caffeine, you don't want latte. But it sure tastes fine. I like cappuccino more, though.
 
user15026
My hatred of coffee lead me to drink Red Bull when I was getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night 6 months ago. I don't recommend that if you are even remotely caffeine sensitive (I am very much that), I was a mess. An awake mess, but holy crap.
 
Energy drinks are way to sweet for my taste.
 
I no longer like this latte.
I now find it tolerable.
 
11:09 AM
Using caffeine to stay awake is a bad idea

It could be just my imagination. what should I do. there's only my little sister here and I don't want to scare her either. Is there any way to make sure what's go...

Excellent. closed.

I like how all I really do on Lifehacks is flag things.

Ruh roh!
 
@Wipqozn If you have time to write a question, you have time to search the house, grabbing a cordless or cell phone along the way.
 
I find it funny that his first instinct was to write a question on the internet.
 
11:25 AM
@5pike i suspect this is a case of something that didn't happen.
It is lifehacks though, so it's hard to know for sure.

That's pretty fucked up.

Q: How to restore GTA 5 from a external hard drive

Gordie324I bought GTA5 this weekend over steam, then realised that the game is 60GB big and I use a capped line. I asked one of my friends to make a copy of the game so I can restore the game using steam and he copied the folder of where it was installed. How do I get this to work?

@AshleyNunn The Habs aren't weird, they're awesome! See how they won that game last night to go up 3 games to none?
 
12:24 PM
@5pike this other answer on the same question looks pretty promotional as well.
 
Add view layout constraint "Center in viewport" -> view is pulled to the very right of the viewport
Remove vertical layout constraints -> view disappears entirely
 
@fredley yes.
Probably intended behaviour.
 
@Arperum Remove all constraints: displays correctly on left hand side of screen
WHY IS CENTERING SOMETHING SO DIFFICULT??!?!?!
 
BECAUSE APPLE
 
@fredley BECAUSE iOS.
 
12:27 PM
But seriously
How can adding a constraint to make the view be centered not make it centered?
What else am I supposed to do?
pls apl
 
@fredley Add a constraint to keep is X distance away from the left side, add a distance contraint to the right side, add constraint constraint that saiys that both constraints should aways be the same width.
 
@Arperum a constraint constraint?
 
Because fuck the easy way. Do it the hard way.
 
wtf
 
@fredley I vaguely remember being able to tell constraint to be the same width.
It's been since early 2013 since I last worked with that horrorthing though.
SO there is the risk that I am mistaken.
But then again, it sounds very apple-y to do it that way.
 
12:32 PM
Why does horizontal center in container take a value?
I can enter 'current canvas' as the value, but doesn't that defeat the point?
 
I don't remember that. So you are on your own now.
 
Fuck. This. Shit.
If you click the button 'update frames in this container', it does something where all the views are placed outside the superview. Interface builder has no way to select them and move them back in.
 
@fredley What GUI builder are you using (and for which language)?
 
@MBraedley Interface Builder, iOS.
(Objective C)
 
@fredley Absolutely 0 experience with that.
 
12:40 PM
@MBraedley Count yourself lucky
 
But does this mean you're making ChatSEy for iOS?
 
@MBraedley No, that wouldn't pass Apple review anyway
 
Not that I care anymore since buying a Surface Pro 3 to replace my iPad.
 
So I have a loading spinner that pops out over everything else
That seems to work
Oh no, I added a constraint to a nester inner view, and it fucked everything.
Everything is now in a tiny square in the top left ish quarter of the screen
ALl I did was put left == right == 0 margins on it
What. The. Fuck.
As soon as I try and add any kind of constraint to the scrollview it disappears entirely
 
It wants to be free man, you've just got to let it go
 
12:54 PM
No.
Ok, I'll add constraints for the width
Better
Now it actually draws in the center! Now to make it reach the edges
ok, adding height and width constraints worked.
wtf
 
Welcome to objective C, where logic does not exist and layout is magic.
 
layout is stupid magic
Also, pinning to the top of the view has left a sliver of background, half the status bar, of gap at the top
 
@fredley Yup.
 
Also, why are constraints separate 'objects'. I want to click a view and see the constraints on it, not a big list of 'vertical space' constraints that I have to click through each one to see what it applies to
 
@fredley Yea, that was terrible.

Proposed Q&A site for a site for Experts in Marvel and DC. Everything will be answered here

Currently in definition.

 
Interface Builder is one of the worst pieces of software I've ever used
 
@fredley Interface Builder XCode is one of the worst pieces of software I've ever used
ftfy
 
@Arperum Interface Builder is the black, rotten sanctum sanctorum of the whole XCode experience
 
@Arperum Yeah, totally. His account is 1 year old, but he promotes the same thing twice. @Fredley, can you take a look at it?
 
@fredley True, and figuring out how it interacts with your code is some other "Fun" activity. For definitions of Fun that include self mutilation and suicide.

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Why not expand that to all comic books?

@KevinvanderVelden At best.

@fredley Thank you.
 
@Yuuki fancy
Sooo... I'm testing my own code now
 
Marvel's really milking this "tiny stuff" marketing for Ant-Man, huh.
 
As in, not just the "I'm building it and seeing if it works" but in the "Test this and we'll ship it" sense
 
Enough of this stuff, I'm going to make a @GnomeSlice gif
 
1:19 PM
@fredley Appreciated.
 
Huh, apparently the US and Mexico are draining so much water from the Colorado river (the one that created the Grand Canyon) that it no longer reaches the ocean.

@FAE How's it going?
 
@fredley has too much time on his hands. And/or too much insanity from dealing with iOS
 
1:38 PM
@KevinvanderVelden This is what iOS has done to me
I'd rather mask out braids in a gif than center elements in the viewport

@fredley Okies, how's everyone?
@KevinvanderVelden I'm always on Steam!
 
Steam isn't as much fun

@fredley ... I feel like I've seen the source for this.

Oh. I was thinking of some K-pop music video that my sister showed me.

@Yuuki so what you're telling me is that I should vote for Evangelion for bridge movie night

@KevinvanderVelden Well, Rebuild's a movie series.
The issue is I'm not sure if we can stream it.
 
FAE
1:46 PM
@Yuuki I think the main issue is breaking everybody
 
Might be on Crunchyroll, but I don't feel like getting Crunchyroll.
@FAE We could make it a joke Movie Night and everyone needs to be bring alcohol.
 
FAE
@Yuuki "Take a drink every time you're confused or horrified." You'd end up with broken livers.
 
Well I don't drink so
 
@FAE Livers? What livers?
 
@Rapitor Wait, what, Blood Dragon has DLC now?
 
1:49 PM
@GnomeSlice no im saying blood dragon is dlc
 
@GnomeSlice Blood Dragon... was... DLC?
 
Oh! @FAE, I think you missed @GnomeSlice's new thing.
 
@Rapitor What? No it's not.
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Enlighten me!
 
@Powerlord No it isn't.
 
1:50 PM
Or maybe not, but you've missed half the hilariousness that's been happening
 
I don't have FC3 but I have blood dragon.
 
@GnomeSlice and autocorrect
 
It's just a spinoff game.
 
It's stand-alone DLC. a couple games do that
 
It's not DLC, it's a whole game.
