@PatrickHofman curious to see if when he uninstalls that update, all is well again.
@PatrickHofman He may not need it anyway.
@LynnCrumbling: I really doubt it matters anything, since VSTOR doesn't affect Visual Studio.
@PatrickHofman Ah, ok,... I know nothing about; just see that it starts with 'VS'. :)
It's the glue between Office and .NET, that's all.
@PatrickHofman So is it a collection of dlls for programmer use?
@LynnCrumbling No, you compile against some base libraries and VSTOR is the Office version specific translation of .NET to Office COM.

I don't know why I felt I had to share that here, but that principal knows how to stop a fight lol
@SterlingArcher "The Herald reports that James' problem stems from two misdemeanor sexual battery charges filed against him in regard to several incidents involving a paraprofessional in 2011 while he was principal at Southside Middle School." - Source
I didn't say it was the right way <.<
But it worked lol
@SterlingArcher He wasn't fired for stopping the fight
He was fired because he couldn't keep his hands of the students

3:18 PM
wonders why everyone has better gravatars
oh, that reminds me, I need to get that account merger started tonight
Otherwise I'll lose thousands of rep points across several accounts
@InfiniteRecursion Define better? :D
Not his
Have you seen my gravatar? :/
3:22 PM
Is it your GitHub one?
@NateKerkhofs I can see why ... lol
Too much yellow, not enough black.
Those sunglasses should have been as long as the image is wide
@NateKerkhofs pro tip... stop now..

I warned you....
3:23 PM
hmm, very polite criticism
I don't think Shadow and Inf will like it if you criticise this symbol of their bond ...
I thought that was your identicon?
oh, right, those sunglasses were a gift
@InfiniteRecursion Ha, because your tags included "spam", my script colored your chat div box :)
3:26 PM
Fix your script! :D
sings the everyone is always fixing their userscripts song
I wrote a userscript to detect rick roll links
what's a userscript?
Sadly, people took that as a challenge to deter my script
@SterlingArcher I just made a site with autoplay=1.
3:27 PM
And they're good at it ._.
@Nate some javascript you have your browser run on page-requests..

@Vogel612'sShadow -_-
wonders why everyone is wondering out loud
3:28 PM
because she doesn't like the owl
I wonder (wonder) what's in a Wonder Ball?
@jadarnel27 Wonders...

Doorknob wrote NotDoorknob (Doorknob chatbot)
Guys. Do you wanna build a snowman?
Microsoft just announced they're shutting down their Xbox TV department
@jadarnel27 Let it go
@NateKerkhofs I don't want to! 'Cause it's the first time in forever...
3:36 PM
Ugh... I just realized that 90% of my writers.SE rep comes from an answer on how to write erotica
not exactly what a budding author wants to be associated with

To be fair, it's normal to be weird. Not being weird, now that would be weird
Where's the C++ faction go?
I actually liked cpp..

@Unihedron Yes, for this.
@Frank I never knew it would even attract attention, it's another ol meta thread.
@Inf thanks for the new pic!
Great, so apparently, Tweetdeck won't allow me to send myself a DM that it views as Spam...
just 3 links for my reading tonight

don't use goto, it's evil
^true codereviewer
4:21 PM
If it's shorter, always use goto!
goto is seldom actually shorter than properly structuring execution flow
if you need to use goto, design is faulty
OBTW gotos are the only way to properly handle errors in vb-script
Goodbye, cruel world
4:22 PM
Oh no! Not the goto debate!!
@ProgramFOX Running since 16:22:14 UTC
@LynnCrumbling there is no debate
I know a former Excel lead programmer who uses them extensively for one very specific pattern.

It was a joke. I was telling Jan to goto facebook as per rene's advice

You escaped telling the direction uni :P
I never figured out what I should reply with.
4:25 PM
Oh the owl is back.
Hi owl.
Hiya @jan
oh dear I can see the drupal spam coming already..
Bummer, you don't have a blue name...
oh dear, not drupal again...
4:27 PM
@Vogel612'sShadow Yes.. vb is a problem.
It was easy to figure out your confusion @uni
Where is drupal spam?
Given Jan some time to post it...

@Frank here! have a badge.

I wish they made a 'revision history' button by questions, so I could look at the revision history of questions wihout typing out the url.
@Frank Something other than the "edited x hours ago" link? Or something different?
Good job @Uni
@LynnCrumbling For questions like this: gardening.stackexchange.com/questions/5109/…
I can't just click a button to find this: gardening.stackexchange.com/posts/5109/revisions
@Frank Oh, because it's still at rev 1.
@Frank The logic should be link_visible = (count(revs) > 1 or (other_events_exist));
@LynnCrumbling Yup, that's what they should do.
@Frank Is that behavior SE-wide?
@Frank Sounds like an excellent meta

@LynnCrumbling I may post one.

@SmokeDetector I recall that MATHEMATICS and PROGRAMMERS are two sites on which @Shog9 added a warning about all-caps titles. They are also two of the very few SE sites on which the site name is in all caps. Coincidence?
spam gone
@WeaponofChoice they aren't
7:12 PM
Aren't in all caps? [status:unclear]
they aren't all-caps
@JanDvorak Mathematics site name is.
maybe in logo
Yes, the logo is what I'm talking about.
The only other all-capsy logos are ACADEMIA, WORKPLACE and TEX (which is an edge case).

Ah, OK I'll answer that, tnx
Hrmm. In Go, a function can return any number of results. scratches head
thinks to self then it's a bit of a misnomer to call it a function, isn't it?
@LynnCrumbling how so?
8:38 PM
In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. An example is the function that relates each real number x to its square x2. The output of a function f corresponding to an input x is denoted by f(x) (read "f of x"). In this example, if the input is −3, then the output is 9, and we may write f(−3) = 9. The input variable(s) are sometimes referred to as the argument(s) of the function. Functions of various kinds are "the central objects of investigation" in most fields of mode...
Sweet, let's play the "argument via wikipedia links" game.
In computer programming, a subroutine is a sequence of program instructions that perform a specific task, packaged as a unit. This unit can then be used in programs wherever that particular task should be performed. Subprograms may be defined within programs, or separately in libraries that can be used by multiple programs. In different programming languages a subroutine may be called a procedure, a function, a routine, a method, or a subprogram. The generic term callable unit is sometimes used. As the name subprogram suggests, a subroutine behaves in much the same way as a computer program that...
9:00 PM
@AnnaLear The definition of a function is that for every input, you'll get exactly one output. In the cartesian plane, that means that a given x will never have two y outputs. In the programming world, a function outputs exactly one thing (given, possibly, a whole bunch of inputs.)
@LynnCrumbling A set is still one output. ;-)
@LynnCrumbling In math, yeah. In CS, the definition I commonly see is "a routine designed to perform a task". The number of inputs or outputs isn't strictly defined. Most languages tend to output just one thing, but it's not like you couldn't output a tuple, a dynamic object, etc. "One" is relative :)
@AnnaLear Languages have all kinds of wacky ways of getting around this.. returning a complex type (like a class), or returning an array, or allowing params that can have a direction of "out" (as opposed to in), but they still follow the concept of returning only a single object, simple or complex.
I think that's nothing but convention.
And some term overloading between disciplines :)
my drop down exhausted completely :D... no more rep changes (doesn't show them anymore).
9:05 PM
I'm used to calling funcs where I write code of the format return_variable = func(input, input, ...)
now, suddenly, the stuff to the left of that equal sign is totally different.
@LynnCrumbling destructuring assignment
let (d,m) = 5 `divMod` 3 -- d = 1, m = 2
@JanDvorak what language is that?

@Frank I have been insulted it with javascript and it doesn't show any rep changes on any stack... Don't know how to fix it :D
@Frank did you see that there's a userscript to deal with that link-missing issue?
@LynnCrumbling Oh, awesome! Can you get a link?

But there aren't many legitimate hits for that word; most of them are (unsurprisingly) from English sites.
most of the legitimate uses of the word "cock" are merely example usage to demonstrate the word has legitimate uses.
