George Marian

Nice.

Tim Stone

Always surprising what's on sale at Walmart, hahah. :P

George Marian

1:22 AM

Heh.

I tend to be wary of buying produce at Walmart.

Tim Stone

That's probably a legitimate concern, heh. I should probably be a little more concerned with all of the stuff I haphazardly introduce into my body.

Hi folks.

Trufa

@Moshe hi!

Tyler Chacha

3:56 AM

I figured out how to make a lexical parser that doesn't care about spaces

it was actually really simple...

Moshe

@trufa sup?

is resisting the urge to code all night and is going to sleep

George Marian

4:21 AM

@TimStone I wasn't even thinking about what may be in or on the produce, but the fact that much of it looks good yet lacks much taste.

4:40 AM

Hmm...I sure hope my keyboard isn't dying.

Hrm

superuser.com/suggested-edits/2119

why did I have to go through the suggested edits queue for a simple retag?

I already do have retagging privileges on Super User

Wes

Dunno @badpssockpuppet

Bah, reported alredy

Q: Retagging through suggested edits

I just saw (it's approved now) a suggested edit that appeared to just be retagging - adding two tags. The user who proposed it actually had enough rep to retag questions, but presumably didn't realize there was a hidden retag link by the tags, and simply clicked "edit". Perhaps suggested edits c...

Oh, I now see why. With 500 reps I get both edit and retag.

Why are all the "Unanswered" totals so high on SE sites (including Meta)?

Meta says "6249" in total, but only shows 143 pages of 15 questions each

(Which is a maximum of 2145 questions)

Other SE sites have this too

SO too

Jan Fabry

Q: "Unanswered" total is very high

The total question indicator for the "Unanswered" tab is 2 to 3 times higher than the actual number of questions displayed (by multiplying the number of pages with questions per page). Some examples: Stack Overflow: 833,807 vs 292,100 (5842 pages of 50 questions) Meta Stack Overflow: 6,252 vs 2...

Hello All

@GeorgeMarian Hi did you give that any thought?

Despite the world's disdain of Apple's review system, the review team continues to impress me with quick review times and quicker follow up reviews. Review Team, have an upvote. +1

Wes

6:08 PM

@Moshe did you get those 50 points from that bounty?

Moshe

@Wes Which bounty?

Wes

About delete notification

Moshe

@Wes No. Link please?

Unless I just missed it.

Wes

Q: Notice of deletion

When something was deleted of yours, answers, comments, questions, Area 51 proposals, it would be nice to get some kind of notice other than just not being able to find it anymore. You receive notices for every other things that can be done to something of yours, and often relating to something o...

Maybe 1.5 days ago now

or two

Moshe

Oh, it seems I did.

Cool, thanks for pointing it out.

@Wes - What happened to that user though? It kind of disturbs me that there are questions with nonexistent user accounts behind them.

Wes

6:19 PM

Dunno deleted account?

There was a name before it was "Fixed"

Moshe

Oh, ok.

Well, thanks.

Wes

No prob. The bounty was just to draw attention to the question. But shame to waste the points.

When the bounty period was up

ya know :p

Moshe

Hehe, of course.

Submitting another maintenance release to Apple. Hooray for feedback from users who decide to rate low instead of emailing me to get a problem fixed...

Oh well, I guess that's what happens when I don't bother checking things carefully.

Wes

bye

Moshe

6:41 PM

\O/ The Mets just worked out of a bases loaded no-out situation.

:-( And a fly ball caught at the track...

Meh.

Moshe

6:58 PM

Silly me. 1.5.1 is apparently a lower version number than 1.52.

Meh

Wes

7:34 PM

@Moshe eh?

Tyler Chacha

Hello

Wes

@TylerChacha hello

Andy

8:02 PM

any 10k users who can tell me why this question was deleted: stackoverflow.com/questions/5920197/…? thanks

Wes

@Andy you'd probably be better asking on one of the chatrooms on SO. Its a little quiet here at the moment.

sepp2k

@Andy I can tell you that it was deleted by Jeff (and no other delete votes). I can't tell you why.

Tyler Chacha

Yeah, he didn't give a reason..

Wes

Is it the question yourself your intrested in @Andy?

sepp2k

Frankly, I'm quite confused by that deletion. The question seems perfectly fine (except for "but it doesn't work"...) and it already had two upvoted answers.

Wes

8:12 PM

It may be the askers poor acceptance history

Sorry answer history

And "If not possible, can you give me a way to do it, of course without doing delay ?"

Rebecca Chernoff

Apparently it was cross-posted to electronics. shrugs

sepp2k

@Wes What's wrong with that sentence?

@RebeccaChernoff Ok, that explains it.

Wes

Okay fair enough. I'm not sure why crossposting should be enforced accross the stack exchange network. Especially as the sites have different target audiences

Rebecca Chernoff

cross-posting and tailoring it to the individual audience is ok. duplicate cross-posting is bad.

and I have no clue on this question, just going off what I can see in the record.

Wes

If I cross post, between SE and somewhere else. I nearly always put a disclaimer that its a cross post anyway.

Wes

8:34 PM

Speaking on a related matter. Can I cross post or otherwise get this question migrated to DBA?

Andy

thanks everybody. I'd believe it was the cross posting, however the SO version was IMO better than the electronics version.
One question doesn't matter in the grand scheme, it's just a bit weird when I look over my recent activity and I feel like something's missing. I upvoted http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/80460/notice-of-deletion

Wes

Q: Why is this range based query so much quicker.

At work we had a query on a table that had the following structure: ip_from(number), ip_to(number), country, city, state, isp, latitude, longitude. This table had approx 6.1 million rows. To find out the details for a given IP address we used a query like the following: SELECT * FROM Ip2l...

sql optimization range

@Andy I've been trying to push that one too

@RebeccaChernoff is that reasonable?

Wes

8:57 PM

Anyone? Just telling me no is an acceptable answer too.

@sepp2k Sorry It just strikes me the same as labeling a question urgent.

sepp2k

@Wes I don't think he meant the answers should be without delay.

Wes

Ah I misunderstood it then

Q: What's the desired voting behaviour.

This is related to the downvote on questions having no cost question. What's the desired voting behaviour? What's the best behaviour for the community? Do you want that every question/comment/answer we read we categorise in our heads into. Poor Average and Good and vote according? Do you want ...
