Q: AC:NL Person swiming outside of town borders?

ricky gonceI would first like to mention that I am new to stack exchange so I might have some (or a lot) of mistakes in my writing. About a day ago I saw what looked like a character swimming or floating outside of the town border (There is a rope with things that make it float.) Now for the life of me I ca...

Q: Java.net.soccetexception:Host is down for my Minecraft server and people cannot connect

SpidesI'm going through a mini beta test and I can get in my server just fine, but other people can't log in. I'm not sure if it's the server address or my port. I use a Verizon router and I'm sure I did all the steps correctly. It's my first time and overall I want to know what to do and what it rea...

 
I crafted a good deck in Hearthstone but there's still so much I don't understand
 
@StrixVaria @Fluttershy
 
@GnomeSlice Man, they're pumping out new characters pretty fast. :o I'm impressed.
 
every 3 weeks
Although... it seems like less
 
12:12 AM
candidate @Wipqozn what is your position on the posting of filthy pictures in the bridge?
 
Why don't you just accept the suggestion?
 
@GnomeSlice Because the decision also includes date & time.
 
@Yuuki why don't you just edit date and time into the suggestion?
 
12:20 AM
@aurevoir That picture will haunt me forever.
@GodEmperorDune Don't worry, once I become a mod all evidence of that incident will be mod abused away.
It'll even vanish from Google search engines and all of your memories
and then I'll finally throw those socks out
 
@Wipqozn WHAT IS FILTHY MAY NEVER BE CLEANED
 
ACtually I'm not even sure if I still own those socks. I can't remember if I tossed them out, or if they're just buried in the back of a closet somewhere, which is basically the same thing as having tossed them out.
@GodEmperorDune Because @Yuuki wants to acquire all these sweet, sweet meta votes for himself
 
@Wipqozn as a modrater, will you pledge to finish your sentences before hitting enter?
 
@GodEmperorDune If I'm elected I'll have even less reason to worry about finishing messages, since I'll no longer be shackled by the two minute time limit. I'll just keep editing the same message over and over again for the reminder of my history on the bridge.
 
@Wipqozn this is why you're the worst
 
12:28 AM
@GodEmperorDune also, mods are always to blame and the worst, and so am I. Pretty sure that makes me a perfect fit.
 
@Wipqozn why don't you have the sportsmanship badge yet?
 
@TimStone Erm, I think I got it.
The headers are not capitalized :|
 
lolwhat
 
433
A: Are HTTP headers case-sensitive?

Ignacio Vazquez-AbramsFrom RFC 2616 - "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1", Section 4.2, "Message Headers": Each header field consists of a name followed by a colon (":") and the field value. Field names are case-insensitive. The updating RFC 7230 does not list any changes from RFC 2616 at this part.

Says that the headers are not case sensitive. Hmmm, what's going on here?
 
I'm not sure why they're lowercase though, they aren't for me (or Chrome is capitalizing them, I guess that's possible)
 
12:34 AM
Let me see if I can get the raw header
 
@PrivatePansy They shouldn't be parsed in a case-sensitive manner
 
Cache-Control: private
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 3170
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2016 00:35:38 GMT
access-control-allow-credentials: false
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST
access-control-allow-origin: *
x-content-type-options: nosniff
 
Which should mean that proxies can arbitrarily change their capitalization
 
Firefox reports this as the raw headers received
 
@GodEmperorDune That's a tricky one to answer, but I poked through some of my answers and it appears to just be due to the number of questions I've answered where my answer is the only one, as well as the number of times where I didn't feel some or all of the other answers were high enough quality to earn a vote. I do upvote other answers , though, I just haven't hit 100 yet.
 
12:37 AM
@PrivatePansy That's my guess, anyway: that you're going through an HTTP proxy that decapitalizes the names of some less common headers
 
Also, if you take a gander at the badge page you'll see only 15 people on the site have it. It's not an easy badge to earn.
 
@murgatroid99 Right, but according to the specs capitalization doesn't matter anyway
 
@Wipqozn sounds good, i might as well bug the other candidates
 
@PrivatePansy Yes. If you are experiencing a failure because of that decapitalization, that is a client-side bug
 
@GodEmperorDune I'd strongly suggest bugging @Unionhawk. I believe he was upset earlier folks weren't harassing him.
 
12:40 AM
@Wipqozn yep, already in progress

Man there's so many people declaring for moderator. I feel like it's not cool anymore
 
i declared for moderator way before you guys, back before it was cool. now everybody's doing it
 
@twobugs yeah it was fun before @Wipqozn did it
 
That just means you're really old and extra uncool
 
12:47 AM
those are both probably true
 
I didn't nominate myself for moderatorship before it was uncool to nominate myself for moderatorship
At least, I think that's how it works
 
@twobugs 5 is not "so many"

By the end of this year we will be choosing between 1000 nominees
 
@StrixVaria yeah, I think we had 11 in the last one? That's still small.
Stack overflow always has a crazy large number of nomineees
 
There's still multiple days to nominate
I don't feel any reason to run now since there are already some really good and very qualified candidates
 
@StrixVaria why don't you run for mod, let's see if you're all high and mighty after going through an election yourself

user15026
@Chippies That sounds delicious
 
@AshleyNunn it is, but now i"m full and I still have some left and my options are either put it away, which is a lot of effort or finish eating it, which is probably not the best idea right now
I'm leaning towards finishing it...
 
@Lazers2.0 um this, and this are they same question are they not?
 
1:50 AM
@twobugs The trick is to set things that require keypresses, like auto-explore and level change, to use mouse gestures
@Unionhawk Oh man, my eagle board, I had so much trouble with the "Do you believe in God?" question
 
@SaintWacko Ah, that's genius
 
oh ffs.
my boss sent me an email at 9:15 reminding me that I had to deploy an update to a customer today.
I'm not sure if I am more annoyed that he felt the need to remind me to do my job, or amused that he thought I was going to check my work email at 9:15pm.
 
user15026
2:06 AM
@Unionhawk eagle boards?
 
@AshleyNunn kinda like a dissertation defense to get to the highest level of boy scouts
do they have boy scouts in canada or is it something else?
 
They do afaik
It's not the BSA though
Since that's "of america"
 
Essentially, after putting in hundreds of hours of work to make all this happen, the final test is you get to sit down with some district executives and explain to them why you deserve the highest honor in scouting
4% of those who become scouts become eagles
 
@Unionhawk what was your eagle project?
(i'm of the 96% but i did manual labor on a few eagle projects)
 
2:13 AM
@GodEmperorDune I did a vegetable garden for a local food pantry, which is actually still going on today, but it's managed by a kid who is incredibly passionate about the project
 
@Unionhawk that's cool
 
Which is amazing, since it provides fresh produce that they can give out in the summer
 
user15026
I know so little about this stuff
 
one project i worked on was to rebuild a trail, another one was laying down railroad tracks for a train museum
 
user15026
Like i had friends in Guides/Scouts but none of them stuck with it past like...14 or so
 
2:15 AM
it was like 10 meters of track and took so damn long to do
 
@GodEmperorDune That's awesome!
I built a boat play toy in the little kids' playground at my church
It was funny, because for my Eagle project review, I made a 3d model of the boat in autoCAD, and after looking at it they actually couldn't find any questions to ask me :P
 
@SaintWacko yeah they were like "build railroad track the old fashioned way" i thought it was some clever wordplay... it was not

PuddlerIf you apply Zarya's Projected Barrier on a Reinhardt with his Barrier Field where does the damage get applied? The Projected Barrier or the Barrier Field?

 
the old fashioned way of construction sucks
 
@Unionhawk interestingly enough, the BSA has chapters in Europe and Japan, but not in Canada, which actually is America...

@RedRiderX hey
i don't remember why i pinged you earlier

@KutuluMike There are international BSA troops, usually expats
Like, I had a crew from Saudi Arabia
All American expats working for the national oil company

Why do we need more mods? Should I run?
 
Run for mod or run away?

@John we need more mods because most of our mods are slackers and one of our mods is overworked.

This?
 
user15026
@Unionhawk Thank you
 
We are thus operating under the theory that if we add more slackers, we can reach an equilibrium, in which the one mod who is overworked, is merely regularly worked.
 
user15026
It's a good theory anyhow
 
As to whether you, @John, should run? Yes. Yes you should run. Everyone who is eligible who thinks they might want to be a moderator should run.
(However, not everyone who runs, or should run, should win. But there is no harm, and much to gain, in running.)
 
2:47 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess what I'm really asking is whether anyone actually thinks I'm eligible.
 
@John eligibility is a purely technical matter. What anybody thinks doesn't matter.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I feel like in an election though, it helps to have a positive public opinion.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz wait what can you gain by running?
 
@John you'd think! And yet, here I am, a moderator.
 
Aside from the thankless mod job, of course
Which is a given
 
2:49 AM
@GodEmperorDune Complete World Knowledge.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No no no, you're popular when you're elected, and then everyone starts to hate you. Just ask @badp

Q: Motion Blur With Any Game

Joseph Christian HefleySo, I love the Windows Store game "Sniper Fury," but it doesn't have a motion blur option (I love motion blur). Is there any way to apply motion blur to my screen, if not the game directly?

 
Eugh, those tags
 
@Lazers2.0 wat
 
2:57 AM

@Lazers2.0 rub some bacon on your screen, the grease will provide constant motion blur.
 
@TrentHawkins #lifehack
 
Hmm is Lifehacks a valid topic for the modrater debate?
 
@PrivatePansy I may or may not have made a bacon-bot account on lifehack for the sole purpose of suggesting that the lifehack answer to various things was to rub some bacon on it. Also, so my main account would not be associated with lifehack

@Frank I thought I'd ask my questions here - to avoid clogging up the comments
 
If anyone's interested, the complete gallery of pictures for this kit can be seen here
 
Ben
@Frank I just wanted to ask one more thing: If we updated the original question to include the other games, would that not conflict with the content of the original question - make the accepted answer redundant and potentially rob the accepted answer of the rep gained from the answerer?
 
user15026
3:50 AM
@Fluttershy what the heck
 
@Ben The base question wants to know what order to play the games in. That was five years ago. He doesn't mention specific ones, but if you're asking about a series, it stands to reason that you should include the ones not mentioned.
 
user15026
@Ben the series has expanded but I think at the core they are asking the same thing
 
HAVE any Half Life games come out in the last five years?
 
user15026
There is no harm in making a new updated answer or asking for the old one to be updated (or both really)
 
I honestly don't remember.
 
Ben
3:52 AM
I agree they're asking the same thing - just the content has changed. The original is incomplete. So in that case altering the original to add the newer content would be fine?
 
@Ben Yep
 
Ben
@Frank No, the latest game was Ep. 2 in 2007. But that just confuses me as to why the other games weren't added to the original answer. Ah well.
 
user15026
Oh if nothing new has come out then there is extra no reason for two questions
 
Ben
Ok so: the way it stands is that the new question is asking about all the games, the new question is not. Though no new games have been released, that still makes it a dupe due to oversight of the original question?
 
@Ben The scope hasn't expanded. The new question has just listed more of the games.
They're asking the exact same thing, the new question is just being more detailed about it.
 
Ben
4:05 AM
Call me thick - but I don't see how that benefits anyone. More detail is better, no?
 
The questions are asking the same thing. Agreed?
 
Ben
Yes.
 
Then they're dupes.
Logic complete.
 
Ben
If that's how the site logic works, I won't argue then :P
I won't argue anymore *
 
It gets a bit more wonky when a newer question has a higher quality answer, but that's not really part of this discussion.

Just dropping in to ask a quick question. Have any World of Warcraft fans seen Warcraft: The Beginning yet? If so, what did you think of it, as a fan of the game?
 
Warning: syntactical care is required when sorting the list returned from a function. If you want to sort the list returned by the function call "find_records(@key)", you can use:

@contact = sort { $a cmp $b } find_records @key;
@contact = sort +find_records(@key);
@contact = sort &find_records(@key);
@contact = sort(find_records(@key));

If instead you want to sort the array @key with the comparison routine "find_records()" then you can use:

@contact = sort { find_records() } @key;
@contact = sort find_records(@key);
sort(find_records(@key));
sort(find_records (@key));
those two things are completely different

Q: How do you attract different cats?

ethanflipsI have been playing neko atsume for a while now, but I haven't had any new cats come. I was wondering how I could attract those cats.

 
This was taken from some old Microsoft CAML documentation
It describes the CAML XML Schema
Notice the different types they have defined....
True Case Insensitive else "False". TRUE Case Sensitive else FALSE. TRUE if there is something (even if the something is ="FALSE")...
Then you have the GUIDS... you can allow only GUIDS with braces, only ones without braces.... or both. For no reason other than give the final developer obscure bugs (because a wrong value most of the times won't raise an error but just cause the running process to use default parameters...)
 
@Fluttershy Sweet mother of God, what game is that?
 
@Wipqozn That's the impression I get too. As someone who knows literally nothing about World of Warcraft, I found it to be somewhat impenetrable as a film.
There is so much going on that is never explained.

UniqueIdentifierWithOrWithoutBracesWithOrWithoutDashes
That's the worst thing I've seen yet today
Even worse than my initial spelling of "today"
 
@twobugs I have to support worse.
I have a method signature that mentions the word color SEVEN times.
 
Oh boy. Email from Blizzard. I already know this isn't the beta invite I crave, but let me dream
@Frank I'm going to choose to believe you are joking
 
@twobugs You know what I do.
Do you think I'm joking?
 
No, but I can't accept otherwise
It was some dumb HotS email cc @Fluttershy
Damn Blizzard

Trust me - the worst one is TRUE_If_Present.
That means that every value different from "TRUE" (all uppercase!!) is treated as "false". This is a common problem from developers since they write "True" or "true" and then don't understand why the setting don't seem to have any effect (false is the default)
 
Haha, someone apparently proved that solving a Super Mario Bros level is a PSPACE level task
Well, more accurately, that it is possible to create a PSPACE difficulty level with the initial SMB tileset
 
Even better if you consider that Visual studio intellisense shows every available option, even the "unsupported" ones
TRUE
FALSE
True
False
true
false
^ like this.
 
@twobugs does that include the MSI version of hte GUID that has no braces, no dashes, and all the byte sequences reversed?
 
I don't know the answer and I hope to never discover the answer
 
> Windows Installer GUIDS are not written in the registry as they appear in the development tools. The first 8 digits are reversed, the hyphen is dropped, the next 4 digits are reversed, the hyphen is dropped, the next 4 digits are reversed, the hyphen is dropped, the next two digits are reversed, the next two digits are reversed, the hyphen is dropped, then the next two digits are reversed, six times.
it's basically the "raw" little-endian version of the GUID except the pieces are still written in the same order.

I'm not sure I understand the benefit of such a thing existing
 
I assume at some point it makes doing numeric guid comparisons easier? since MSI does thousands of them
but it's an utter disaster trying to debug broken installers.
because it uses the normal {ab-cd-ef} version in parts of the registry and the internal badcfe version in others.
 
@Wipqozn You said you weren't going to nominate until Friday, but you apparently already nominated. IF WE CAN'T TRUST SIMPLE STATEMENTS LIKE THIS, HOW CAN WE TRUST YOU AS A MOD?
 
If we can't trust him to keep his own socks clean, who knows what other dirty laundry he could be hiding?

Thank you, I'm here all week

Q: How do I use my flak guns?

l II purchased some flak guns for my ship and they are supposedly good against fighters and missiles. However when I shoot them they seem to just head straight out the sides of my ship not really aimed at anything. How do I actually hit an incoming missile with them?

if he actually nominated himself on Friday and tried to post a link to it no one would believe it was real.

Someone should pin my dirty laundry quip because it was pretty genius
I'm also impressed that I had already learned about the punch shrimp from a manga
But thank you for starring that, whoever did
 
everyone should appreciate a good quip
its a lost art
 
Eugh
Hard coded file paths

@KutuluMike Well, I mean, if you're going to lose a leg, I guess that's the way to do it.

Q: Why is Pin so rare in Rebirth?

EmiliaIn the original Binding of Isaac, Pin is a fairly common boss in The Basement, but in Rebirth, I've only fought him a handful of times in ~16 hours of playing. Is there any reason behind this?

 
Well, my cat lost another 3 lbs over the last week, now down to 10lbs from 22lbs. This doesn't bode well.
 
Was the 22lbs an unhealthy weight?
Or do you just have Big Cat
Either way :(
 
He was a big cat and a fat cat
But he pretty much pukes up anything he eats now
The vet is all "Let's wait and see what happens" and we're all "pretty sure the 'what happens' there is 'death'"
 
12:39 PM
:((((((
That sucks, man
 
@Sterno Sounds like you have a vet though. Better that than suggest all kinds of invasive, painful and expensive attempts at diagnosis
But yeah, :(
 
A couple years ago I lost one of the cats I grew up with and by the end he was just having a bad day every day
 
To be fair, this cat is pretty old. My wife's not entirely sure but she thinks 15 or 16.
Not looking forward to the kid conversation that goes along with this!
Better go check Lifehacks for an answer
 
That's a good life for a cat. I'd just focus on letting him be as happy as he can be at this point
Your kids are still pretty young though. Hopefully the talk won't go too bad since they can't totally wrap their heads around it yet
 
In other news, super glad that didn't turn out to be cancer that I had last year! Death conversation perspective achieved!
And now that I've bummed out chat, here's a picture of some cute animals:
