I had thought he was going north of the wall to re-take his vow at the heart tree (because he very explicitly considers the last vow he took fulfilled). But yeah, I figure he's one of the free folk now.

Good points, but I'd argue that there were archers pouring arrows onto the enemy (from the battlements, mainly), but they only had a few days to manufacture effective arrows, so had a limited supply, which is where there couldn't be the hail of arrows blotting out the sky.

I agree that I6 is the Doom Slayer. I just added in a whole bunch I recognised & lost the edit :(

@Duga False alarm, don't you worry

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 14:27

@EthanBierlein Maybe take a quick look at the formatting on that post.

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 14:06

I'll take that as an answer

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 14:06

Is being off topic a bad thing if there's no business going on? (just wondering)

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 13:48

@Vogel612 Yeah, I have.

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 13:46

I think that the only reason I'd leave it there is if she didn't give my answer as context. Given that she did, I think that probably answers my question

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 13:44

@Mast You might be right with that, although I'm pretty sure that that would require more effort than I'm currently willing to put in for that particular thing

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 13:43

I have no particular reason to believe that I'm right over Emily

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 13:42

Okay, so I answered that one question here, and I've been told that it's the wrong answer here. Should I delete my answer, or would it be better to leave it be?

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 13:38

@Vogel612 Ahh, fair enough. I was wondering if it was Randall, and he was just doing some quiet self-promotion

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 13:37

Is @RMunroe a bot?

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:57

I like what I know and I know what I like

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:54

Marning

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:34

@Mast What's the gossip algorithm?

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:12

@Mast Where can I find it?

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:11

No, is it exciting, with a pithy comic strip?

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:08

I wonder what would have happened if they had the space

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:07

@Mast Neat. Or, you know, not, unless you make a habit of buying multiple exabyte hard drives

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 10:05

@Mast Not a zip bomb?

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:48

@Morwenn Mowdking

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:47

@skiwi But by the time that you check "now", "now" will be "then"

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:45

@Mast Next/Previous/Every. One day there'll be a magnetic swap, and the weather will still be the same

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:44

@skiwi The jokes about us being a grey rock aren't really exaggerations

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:43

Not really

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:42

You have to understand. This is the UK. We're not used to this yellow skycircle.

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:26

@SimonAndréForsberg Yeah, just noticed after I pasted the link

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:24

Yes, yes there is

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:24

Q: Short answers and code-only answers

What should we do with: Short answers (for example, "I suggest you use [hyperlink to this standard API] instead.") Code-only answers (for example, an improved version of the code in the OP) Such answers could be improved (e.g. by adding an explanation of why the suggestion is helpful). Is it...

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:23

@Mast Is there some equivalent "too short" question?

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:14

I agree that in the SO sense, we don't necessarily want MVCE, but we want our own version of it

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:13

And we want the section to be complete, and working, so that's the C and the V taken care of.

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:13

So we want reasonably minimal

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:13

And I suppose that makes sense. But if someone came in with a 100k line codebase and wanted us to review a fraction of it, that'd get closed off

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 09:12

I return!

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 08:57

Ahh, meeting. I have to begone, but I'll be back in half an hour or so. I have a feeling this may be resolved in that time though

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 08:56

@Mast Oh, fair enough, but that seems like a bit of a rules-lawyer kind of thing. Surely stick to the spirit of it, which is "provide the section that you want reviewing, and any context required"

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 08:54

@Mast Oh, doesn't it? I'm prepared to be wrong, but that'd surprise me

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 08:40

But it's saying "I currently use this technique, is there a better one?"

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 08:38

It is just a small snippet. It requires a knowledge of exactly how Math.Random() works, and how it sources entropy, but I still think it's a valid question

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 08:35

@Vogel612 (FR?) And that looks like real code to me. It's a small snippet to be sure, but they're asking for critique on a section of their code

Yann

Jul 3, 2015 08:32

@CaptainObvious That's not off topic is it?

Yann

Jul 2, 2015 15:45

Right, I'm orf, speak to y'all tomorrow

Yann

Jul 2, 2015 15:31

@Hosch250 Wasted my time? You appear to have been thoroughly nerd-sniped with the amount of code you just wrote. But yes, I agree. I think that a property would be a better way of doing it, given that anyone should be able to get it, but it's a subset who should set it.

Yann

Jul 2, 2015 15:25

@skiwi Fair enough. I was just looking to avoid a butt-ton of typing, but I think it's just the nature of the problem

@Vogel612 On the plus side, I'll get that sweet, sweet disciplined badge.
