[00:46:12] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - How Do YOU Test Job Candidates' Intelligence? - http://sylnt.us - pi(x)=substr("3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208",1,x)
[00:48:20] <joepublic> that's not the worst function for getting digits of pi that I've ever seen.
[00:53:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> depending on your programming language, it may be wrong.
[00:53:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> (0-indexed versus 1-indexed.)
[00:53:45] <joepublic> well, surely the implementer is either (a) going to adapt it to fit, or (b) copying and pasting from stack exchange
[00:56:14] <chromas> I'm going to Stack Exchange to find out how to make my own Stack Exchange
[00:57:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Didn't you hear?
[00:57:38] <AndyTheAbsurd> They offer Stack Exchange as a Service (SEaaS) now.
[00:57:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> You probably think I'm kidding, but I'm not.

[01:03:27] <chromas> I want expertsexchange-as-a-service
[01:38:42] <Konomi> expert-sex-change
[01:54:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm not interested in one at all but i'd certainly go with an expert one over an amateur one.

[15:30:33] <FatPhil> Can anyone lend a hand with some CSS? I can't make head nor tail of what to do with padding/border/margin
[15:51:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> I would offer to help but I'm terrible at CSS. Mostly because I first learned HTML before it existed and never bothered figuring it out.
[15:52:34] <joepublic> I usually just look on w3schools.com
[16:09:56] <FatPhil> ditto.
[16:12:30] <FatPhil> I just can't work out how to stop the 'England' and 'other' from jigglging around when you select different radio buttons here: http://ratewhisky.org:8082
[16:12:32] <upstart> ^ 03freebeer
[16:12:42] <joepublic> I remember html and it sticks (because I learned it many decades ago, for decades), but this css I just look up when I need to.

[16:42:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> FatPhil: I *think* your issue is that change from display:none to display:inline-block forces a change to the margins of the associated text. I'm just not sure how to fix it...
[16:51:17] <chromas> You can set the height of the "radio-pulldown" divs (I tried "height: 2em")

[19:37:39] <joepublic> Chinese industrial espionage? ha. hardly likely.
[19:42:57] <Sulla> Takyon better watch out, his social credit score just gets worse every day. He really should reconsider all this wrong-think.
[19:43:45] <Sulla> I for one have always suppored our benovolent Chinese future overlords and can't wait for the Chinese century.
[19:44:55] <boru> Haven't seen you around in a bit.
[19:45:07] <boru> You mean another Chinese century.
[19:45:22] <boru> They were pretty innovative a couple of millenia ago.
[19:45:31] <boru> Communism ruined that, though.

[19:57:24] <joepublic> Work for a few years getting it settled in as just "the system" instead of "the new system" and there will be a "new, new system" to replace the "old, new system"
[19:58:34] <Sulla> Fortunately that should be another decade or so. Doing the stupid quarterly Oracle Peoplesoft updates instead of waiting a ton of years to upgrade.

[23:58:24] <Bytram> FatPhil: the colors are not necessary, but helpfully show the extent of where the CSS is being applied.
