I have been a member on Stack Overflow now for a while, and a reocurring trend is beginning to surface: Users with high reputation are rude, sarcastic, and condescending to users who have low reputation and/or have asked a perfectly legitimate question. And since there is no obvious way for users...
@waffles I just spent a few minutes looking through comments -- if someone says something in a mildly belligerent sarcasm -- containing the correct guidance -- but a bit too much sauce, per se, is there a way to edit someone else's comments? Perhaps for a moderator?
@GeorgeMarian Isn't it a brand of thermal paste or something?
@waffles I agree with your answer, but he can be a bit too much sometimes. My hesitation in flagging was always that his advice is usually spot on -- you just have to ignore the first & last sentences... ;O)
@MTibbits Yeah, I was hardly shocked by what the post was referring to, but people get far too invested in the whole retaliation thing...they should know better.
@TimStone indeed. Flag and move along. I've marked a few as offensive -- but I'd bet there are a few more for any wishing to end the day with a few more flags -- data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/q/110926/…
I have an -- am I stupid? -- I'm looking at the questions from this user and I click to go to page 2, and click to go to page 3 of raja's questions and it is only ever showing page 1?
@MTibbits yes but I see proposals here that are discussed for all SE sites, sometimes(rarely) the asker says "this is only for SO". But I think the clarification is often ignored. Hmm, I will ponder more about these issues.....
To be more concrete...I was about to give an answer to that question.
but only for the sites I frequent , which do not include SO
I have been notified that python-3.x has been made synonymous to various non-interchangeably variants wrt python-3.x:
python-3.1, python-3.2, python-3.3, and python3.2
Of that list, only python-3.2 and python3.2 is a subset of synonymous tag names and should probably get its own association...
I mean if you have a problem that affects only python-3.2 and not python-3.1, you post a question with python-3.2 as the tag, only to find it's been marked as a python-3.x issue when it's not.
I see your point. I guess I just prefer having all of the questions lumped under python-3.x to cut down on the number of options presented in the tag popup. The other issue is that several of the python-3.x are version specific to 3.1 or 3.2. Should these be retagged?
@Sathya True, I don't see where to draw the distinction. Is this question version specific? The package mentioned, matlabplot, was experimental then, but not so much now.
Hey, go figure. Plugging my mp3 player into the Line 1 mini-jack in the back of my speaker disables the optical input. I guess that makes sense, as it would have to place one of those inputs on input2, so I can have both my PC and my mp3 player issuing sound through the speakers at the same time.
Or, apparently, a better idea is remembering to turn the volume up on my speakers.
Making changes which break other things in unexpected ways = eeevil
Like some developer saying, I don't know how to use $('*', context) in jQuery so I'm going to unbind events from the whole page and rebind just the ones I'm concerned with at this moment.
You should make a commit consisting just of changing that comment to /* I don't care that this is completely moronic */ with a commit message of Updated comment to reflect reality
I bought a bag of cable clamps a while ago and went to town taming the cable monster. A few days ago, I found one of them on the floor. Apparently the factory applied side of the adhesive solution isn't as good as the other side. (Which is remarkably good. You have be sure you place it where you want it the first time.)
In my application, network access is running in a thread. Whenever I change screen orientation, my application crashes. How might I resolve this?
