I love fast string concat methods, where I can turn 30 lines of c# code into 180 lines of SQL and not have to manipulate even one line of the output SQL ... and still have a consistent user experience for all my error messages :D
Consider this:
I am currently a pro-tem mod on <shame less="plug">http://dba.stackexchange.com</shame> and I want to get (for instance) @ChrisF to review a pending moderation item, since he's a moderator on http://programmers.stackexchange.com. It would be nice if there were a way to give ...
Ok, well if you're lukewarm then that means it's not totally dumb.
@RebeccaChernoff :p ~ But still, I'm happy for you. I'm hoping to see someone jump on "Downtown" in the next couple days, so I can be giddyhappy too ;)
So anyways, just for that group of things that maybe you need someone more experienced to explain, at the times when there aren't dev's about to help out.
@RebeccaChernoff yeah, that's the problem with meta, finding old posts :\
if it can be shown as a dupe I'll proudly have mine closed (which you already know of course)

Ever since the new Area51 sites have been leaving beta and getting new styles, Super User and Server Fault have been patiently sitting with their current theme... which is fine, but they do look a little plain when compared to some of the other StackExchange sites.
Yes, Jin has done an amazing j...
Thanks! Hah, good point. Unfortunately I have no plans, mainly because plans require effort and after the conference I went to earlier this week I was too tired to find any, but yeah.
Tate Modern is a modern art gallery located in London, England. It is Britain's national gallery of international modern art and forms part of the Tate group (together with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives and Tate Online). It is the most-visited modern art gallery in the world, with around 4.7 million visitors per year. It is based in the former Bankside Power Station, in the Bankside area of Central London.

The galleries are housed in the former Bankside Power Station, which was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the ...
Says the guy who turned his old desktop into a server that just sits there, most of the time, so that he doesn't have to fire up a VM whenever he gets a whim to do some programming. :)
My goal was to move my shared hosting content over to my cloud server, but clearly that hasn't happened yet. Though hopefully it will before my billing cycle for the shared host comes around again.
Tough economic times suck. That said, I need to just bite the bullet and buy the hosting already. I can put off getting the dedicated IP for another month or so.
I have started thinking about some blog posts and started recording those ideas.
Well, as my time on the Stack sites has shown, I can do it when properly inspired. The question is can I do it regularly enough to make for a blog people will care about.
Granted, I'm not aiming to make money from the blog directly, so it just needs to be good enough to attract some attention from the right people. :)
jsfiddle.net/WTG3Y/15/embedded/result%2Cjs - not entirely because I sort of miss the rep graph, but also because I want to play around with a JavaScript graph/drawing API
(Don't run around reposting it though, because it contains a dump straight from my /reputation page)
> There is an inconvenient rendering bug is Safari (WebKit): sometimes the rendering should be forced. This method should help with dealing with this bug.
@TimStone Yeah, that's why I separate them. I'm used to Firefox, so it gets most of my usage. Meanwhile, Chrome for this, and other, heavy JavaScript sites.
However, I do believe Flash is just a touch faster in FF for me.
@RebeccaChernoff, (if you're not asleep). I'm going to start looking at this 'globalStorage' idea. As far as usability is concerned, have you got any ideas about how you think it should work for comments? It would be nice to let the user have some kind of control about what gets shared and where, but without getting too complicated....
completely unrelated jsfiddle is amazing. It's one of those inventions that just seems so blindingly obvious, once someone else has thought of it
If I wanted to load a url of a page into an iframe, any page, but have it the smallest and fastest and least likely to 'disappear', what do you think? www.google.com?
I guess, but the thing is, because I can't host anything there, I'm going to attach a userscript to that domain. I'd rather not break anything in stackauth...
I don't think you will; they got the domain specifically to stick localStorage onto (with other things, of course), as long as you namespace properly it should be okay
@Reno, I'd quite like to do a game (obviously) in the end, using the accelerometer. Hope it doesn't push me into C++, that would be a learning experience too many :)
@Reno "Yeah, Android is a great platform and all, and the future and increasingly relevant and a joy to work with, but man, the reputation you get on StackOverflow from it stinks, so I quit the job and went back to jQuery, which is perfect, does all things and has a proper upvoting circle!"
At about 20 hours prior to this post, I had exhausted all my moderator flags.
However, when I checked again about 8 hours later, I had 4 more flags.
Unless memory has failed me, it seems like flags are given out or recalculated more than once a day (at 0:00 UTC). Is that true, and if so,
how...
@Benjol I thought the post would allude to the fact that I understand all of that... it is asking about something else based on observation. Related to the first point you made
I have two tables:
Table GAME: id(int), added_at(bigint)
Table META: id_game(int), meta(VARCHAR(64))
Now, each game can have 0 or more Meta tags related to it. I am trying to retrieve 9 games:
1 random game with "featured" META
1 random game with "premium" META
1 random game with "doublepoin...

@Jin for the record, I hate that the boxes are there on answered questions. I could see it for accepted questions, but I still don't like those either. #StackOverflow
Should I use a 64Bit or 32Bit Linux for a high throughput LAMP server? has 16 close votes. Here's a screenshot from when it was on 9:
All of them are for off-topic SF (this was at least true when I casted the 9th vote). How come it hasn't been closed yet?
