I asked Stephen

that was his reply

Dec 11 2017 01:37 UTC

uhh wait, so lye is gone? :(

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:33 UTC

he's avoiding answering that, so we still don't know where lye went

i'm behind what stephen is pursuing, but this also raises some major questions

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 02:36 UTC

pretty sure that anet people aren't allowed to talk internals like employment status, esp in ingame chat, but i'd be happy for an "official" statement over here then

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:36 UTC

yes, that's true

it happened last time with lye too, tivac was just saying that he was taking a leave of absence, nothing more

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 02:37 UTC

i mean, we miss @lye - not just because API stuff

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:37 UTC

yeah

In terms of the API, it raises the following questions for me:
1) Will we have some sort of a dev community manager that handles communication between us and the gameplay programmers, if there won't be a dedicated API dev?
2) How will the API evolve when the baton is passed to the gameplay programmers (aka new endpoints)?
3) How long will it take for this system to be ready, and what will happen to the API in the mean time?

Probably more, but this is just on top of my head

The GitHub repo really is a nice place to track API development, it would be a waste if no one would look at it anymore :(

and here

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:43 UTC

Yes

Eearslya Sleiarion

@Eearslya

Dec 11 2017 02:43 UTC

it'd suck if they went back to only api subforum

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:43 UTC

This sounds like a good moment to migrate to Discord and leave Gitter behind :smirk:

Eearslya Sleiarion

@Eearslya

Dec 11 2017 02:43 UTC

did we ever make one?

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:44 UTC

No

not that I know of

I tried having lye to be on gw2e's discord, but he declined because he already had lots of chats and stuff to keep track of

Which is fair

also, i just looked at the sidebar... since when is wafflebot[bot] a thing

i completely forgot we had a waffle.io thingy

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:49 UTC

Hmm... it would be nice to have someone (possibly SCW) to officially communicate what the API plans are :(

Maybe it isn't quite ready yet and just an idea

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 02:52 UTC

The GitHub repo really is a nice place to track API development

uhh, not only that but probably most of the current API features originated from there (or here) :o

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:53 UTC

yeah, you mean proposals made by other people?

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 02:53 UTC

yea

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 02:53 UTC

it goes both ways yeah

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 02:58 UTC

/v3 be like https://twitter.com/codemasher/status/688385154851672064

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 03:06 UTC

urgh

that's so confusing

this is almost like a generic library for any programming language, instead of a good webapi

maybe i'm just used to seeing REST like structures

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 03:09 UTC

the audioscrobbler API existed before there were any API standards

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 03:09 UTC

time for a newer version then

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 03:10 UTC

i hope they're not going to kill it off completely tho

https://twitter.com/lastfm/status/735481437432991745

still waiting...

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 03:14 UTC

smells like valve time

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 03:15 UTC

the worst thing is that there's currently no way to manage your library (*execept deleting single scrobbles via web)

currently = for like 3 years now

I will make a support ticket today at university and ask some stuff let's see if I am getting an answer

@darthmaim

Dec 11 2017 08:51 UTC

did we ever make [a Discord server]?

I made one https://discord.gg/zqeHCEg a few weeks ago, but never posted it here

@Coffee4cr

Dec 11 2017 13:56 UTC

so I thought Lye took over Tivac's position, no?

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 14:03 UTC

yes he did @Coffee4cr

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 15:45 UTC

well, people are having fun in the snow, getting a bus back to driving again

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 15:49 UTC

that was yesterdays :D this is what the weekend's snow looks like today

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 15:51 UTC

well then... that was quite the snow if it leaves that trail of melting snow

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 15:52 UTC

it was like 15cm yesterday morning D:

climate change is a hoax

today was like 5°C and rain

Edgar Doiron

@Coffee4cr

Archomeda

@Archomeda

Dec 11 2017 15:53 UTC

i haven't seen this much snow in years

smiley

@codemasher

Dec 11 2017 15:55 UTC

i've never seen that much snow melting that fast

(there's a reason why i didn't even bother to change the summer wheels on my car...)

oh hey, reminder before you start to wonder tomorrow... https://www.battleforthenet.com/breaktheinternet/

guess github's going to throttle traffic again
