Does anyone know a CSS Simplifier? I only want to simplify all the CSS rules, I don't want to remove all the spacing and tabbing and stuff. -.-

@animuson You mean something like in this post?
It's actually a very tough problem to solve apparently.
 
@jadarnel27: I actually decided to just leave their stylesheets alone and add another one with my styles.
Since the HTML they use is outrageous and I figure I'll just add the styles I need as I redo the HTML, to match them.
 
@animuson Oh, good deal then =)
That's probably the best thing to do going forward, especially if you're fixing the HTML as you go.
 
They use all kinds of weird definition lists and unordered lists and I was browsing through it going "wtffffffff"
 
Ugh. Definition lists are useless.

I use those just to confuse people
 
2:42 AM
That is why you're everyone's favorite, moot-sauce.
 
moot-sauce?
moot-sauce
Well, I'm a moot sauce. How's that for useless marinade?
 
Hey! What's up Mosh-sauce?
 
Whoa-sauce!
@jadarnel27 - did you see my comment the other day? My blog is linked to by some random fifth grade school teacher on her class page.
 
Ok. I've gotten a bit carried away with the *-sauce thing.
 
indeed-sauce
status-sauce
 
2:50 AM
@Moshe I meant to respond to that! I did read your blog post =)
Really cool that it's been linked to by random people!
 
Thanks
ha-sauce?
 
I only like awesome-sauce
 
awesome-sauce is awesomesauce.
 
@animuson Bieber-sauce?
 
2:52 AM
No.
 
@jadarnel27: Anything with Bieber is an exception to all rules.
 
Nice.
 
Not nice.
I'm tired.
And unhappy at the moment.
It happens.
Well, @jadarnel27 - I'm at a loss as to what my next post should be...
 
@Moshe I'm sure you'll come up with something =)
 
I know. I know.
 
2:58 AM
I did. I just clicked forward from the one you linked me when I finally got to reading it
Didn't know the iPhone had custom hardware for the Siri functionality.
 
Yup, tis true. I cited MacRumors there, right?
 
I believe so.
 
Cool.
 
3:23 AM
Isn't life funny sometimes?
It's so easy to be right about everything except the one thing you wish you were right about.
 
3:54 AM
Good night iPhone. Good night keys. Good night new iPad. Good night old iPad. Good night v5 pen which is always in my back pocket. Good night MacBook. Good night 24" Dell monstrosity which looks tiny next to the iMac I use at work. Good night VC13. Good night Facebook. Good night to all the folks analyzing the strange correlation between all of the items in this post. Good night Hashem; thanks for everything. Oh, and of course, Good night moon.

Can somebody with mod powers please stop this clown?
He's spamming dozens of users with requests to come help him with a question.
Half of whom don't even know C#.
 
Lix
Desperate....
 
18 comments so far.

Well he is clearly selecting the uber high rep users to pick on :P
 
@Lix yeah. Maybe in a job interview.

Look at the number of linked questions on the sidebar
 
@Lix yeah. and completely random across all tags. CSS, PHP, C#
@YiJiangsProble_ hahahaha
What a dickhead.
And he's going on and on and on
I mod-flagged the question. I guess a mod will step in at some point.
 
Lix
Well I raised a custom flag on one of them...
Lol - great minds ;)
He seems to actively be answering questions though.. even getting some votes...
 
Oh my, a rate limit seems to have stopped him. :)
 
via mobile how to reply to a particular mchat sg when the op's name appears like "michael clueless"...i use opera mini

Lix
@Marc - do you notify the user in such cases? Or just remove the spammy comments and hope they "get the message"?
 
I'm not saying necessarily we should use them as fuel or "soylent green", but we could keep those options available
 
@Lix I sent them a mod message
 
9:03 AM
Pekka had already left him about 5 replies too ;p
 
Lix
Hope you included a t(-.-t)
lol....
 
9:19 AM
@lix yes
 
@MarcGravell that is so true. Plus they could all be moved to work for the energy giants, increasing efficiency and fun in the rest of the working world. And think of the slogans
 
Lix
@deo I would think that all you need to do is type an @ symbol and then the username. On the site it provides an autocompete - not sure if it does the same on the mobile site.

Q: Stack Overflow and Facebook Policy Matters: On-topic?

BartA question regarding policy matters for Facebook was asked on the Facebook Stack Overflow (and has since been removed). At first glance, this question seems to be off-topic for Stack Overflow. However, reading through the information the OP refers to, users are indeed told to get written permiss...

YES WE CAN!
 
@lix don't knw if this is an issue w/ opera mini...but theres no autocomplete
 
Lix
@deo - now that I've looked -I don't have auto complete either on mobile...
but you can still use the same '@' syntax and the user will be notified...
Did you get a notification for my last message?
 
@lix yes i did
 
Lix
well there you go...
You also don't have to type out the whole user name - see how I only wrote "@deo"?
 
ther must b sumthing w/ user id...i seem to remembr tht vaguely
 
Lix
10:02 AM
@deostroll oh yes - when you mark your message as a reply to a different message the message id (I assume) is used - for example this reply starts with a :908003
I don't think you can use the user id @135246 - doesn't seem like it...
 
@Lix It's message id - user id will not work
 
Lix
@Yi- yep - looks like it... also looks like there is no autocomplete when using the chat on mobile - is it supposed to work?
 
i concur w/ @lix on tht
 
Are you using the mobile version of chat?
 
Lix
I tried it on my Galaxy S... and yes - it is the mobile version...
 
10:14 AM
no way to get msg id either...
is ther any restriction w/ replying to a chat tht is two-day old...hw cn u gt the msg id in tht case?
 
Lix
On the web version you can click on the arrow on the left side of the message box and click the "reply to this message". This will work even on last week's chat - IE in the rooms transcript.
 
yes, u mean the one w/ an arrow...i don't find tht in rm transcripts...
 
@Lix did you mean "u c use tscr 4 dat w/ rpl in dd men"?
 
Lix
@bal - yes :P that is exactly what I meant :P I made a few typo's though ;)
@bal - I'm trying...I'm trying :P

@jadarnel27 HALP!
 
Lix
NO!* because you forgot to say "PLZZzzzz!"
I think he fell asleep there at the end ;)
 
@YiJiangsProble_ Haha, right!
@Lix I see what you did there =)
 
Lix
@jad - and I see what you did here :P
I'm actually quite impressed - did you guys see, as a result from this post that Facebook actually changed the wording in their documentation?
 
@Lix I'm surprised no one got to it before me =) Usually I try to clarify the meaning of the post if I can, but I really don't understand some of what the OP is getting at.
 
Lix
12:41 PM
Completely... I wanted to edit to... but..... what the hell is he on about?
 
Who knows. He's probably getting close to a question ban.
 
Lix
After only 2 questions? Harsh :P
 
Also, that's great news on the Facebook front!
@Lix Haha, 3 zero or negatively scored questions that we can see ;-) And one answer that I believe was just mod-deleted.
Oh, two now. I had a cached page, dude had a -7 question just a second ago.

Only one or two a day ;) I won't tell anyone... hehehe...
 
1:07 PM
@pekka @lix, let the fools work at the factories where they make iPads? Or would that cause the number of poor-craftsmanship replacements skyrocket?
 
Lix
I think there should be one main ipad factory - that way it'll be easier to eliminate them all on one foul swoop... ;)
 
fell swoop :-P
 
Lix
@ama - I know where you get your info from :P
And no - you are incorrect - I was referring to a giant chicken with a bomb strapped to it...
A foul swoop ^_^
 
@Lix uhhh no, but funny
@Lix babby :-P
 
Lix
Baby*
Two can play at this game ;)
 
Lix
Oh @tomW! I was hoping to run into you here :) How are you?
 
@Lix: Confused... Why were you hoping to run into me?
Uhm... I'm not confused, I'm fine. :D
 
Lix
hehe - you made an edit to one of my posts and the comment on the edit was "prevent link rot".
Although all I can see is a link to offbysome's profile...
how is it preventing link rot when off can just change his avatar?
I wanted to ask you cause I thought maybe I was missing something - how exactly does that prevent link rot?
Not attacking you at all - Just interested :)
 
He rehosted the image on imgur
 
1:19 PM
@Lix Changed the image.
In case the user changes his avatar. I thought you intent was to have the dislike arrow there, so I wanted to preserve that.
And change the link as well, such that it is a title. I'm not sure why exactly I decided to click edit though...
 
Lix
Ohhhhh - I see!! Yea - I put his gravatar link there... Ok ok ok - yea so it was me loosing it a bit :) I see now what you did... :)
 
But well, as with any edit, feel free to revert if you disagree. :)
 
Lix
Not at all - I guess I forgot that I used the gravatar link... thanks :)
 
Just gained editing privileges on Meta.SO. So, was looking for things to edit...
 
Lix
Disaster averted - We can now return to our regular scheduled programs ;)
 
1:21 PM
@Shog9 .... See my comment
 
When there are image diffs I guess we need to hover over the images, they should make a source diff...
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA If you're not asking for a list of referrers, I'm really not sure what you're asking for.
 
@Shog9 I am asking for a list of how many people came to the question and where did they come from
not how many links are there to my question.
 
...
If you get a list of every page that links to your question
 
@Shog9 Two completely different things.
 
1:33 PM
PLEASE BE DETAILED
 
@Shog9 where?
huh?
 
ANYWHERE
You're asking for a list of links
And yet, somehow, you're not asking for a list of links
 
Tim & Cody were closing for the wrong reasons. that is why noone else continued to vote to close.
 
explain yourself
 
I will admit that that wasn't a duplicate.
 
1:34 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Neither one of them remembered that this had been asked for before, apparently.
 
Well, it was...but not enough I would have voted to close had I realised that in advance.
 
@Shog9 I am asking for a list of where and & how many referrals from each referer. NOT a list of links.
 
Because at the end of the day everyone wants analytics (which you likely aren't going to get anyway), so meh.
 
@TimStone meh? but it was closed for the wrong duplicate. there is no duplicate to my request.
 
No, you want the same thing as those other people, just from the other side of the coin.
 
1:35 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA You're asking for a list of pages. That link. To your question.
Yes?
 
But like I said, had I realised that before, I wouldn't have voted to close.
 
@TimStone Yes, the other side of the coin. Which is a completely different thing! I really don't care if those people get their badges etc. I would just like to know where these views on my questions are coming from and how many from where.
 
What does this even have to do with badges?
Are you asking only for the pages that happen to contain links that have contributed towards a badge?
 
It's not a completely different thing if what actually has to be implemented is exactly the same. It doesn't matter what the other people wanted the information for, the request is for the information.
 
1:37 PM
...
 
Information for the askee not the linkees
 
I am aware of that.
 
You realize the proposal I linked to predates badges and personalized permalinks?
 
Yes, but I would like to know whether the vies on my question are coming from the SO homepage or from external links.
 
Are you asking for a breakdown of referrers with the number of people that have come through each one to your question?
 
1:40 PM
Ahhh... Now we're finally getting to the meat of this
 
Is this a good place to ask questions for a new user?
 
@jadarnel27 Yes, and from where. be it the homepage or an external link or chat, etc.
 
@GuyCoder There might be better places, but this isn't a bad place. Probably as good as any, really, depending on what the question is :)
 
@Shog9 Right, he wants analytics. :P His request is "different" enough that I threw in a reopen vote, although I still maintain that the actual implementation is nearly the same as in the other requests.
 
shrug
@Amana, edit your question to emphasize this aspect, and I'll re-open.
 
1:44 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA You definitely could have been clearer about that man.
 
@Shog9 Ok, ill try. :-D
@jadarnel27 Sorry :-(
 
There's probably even less chance of getting a source-by-source "views" breakout than there is a list of referrers in the first place though. Just FYI.
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA No need to apologize to me. You're fine. It just seems like, if you put a bit more time into your posts, you would post less dupes and be better understood.
 
@Shog9 true, but it is worth the try, see the update. let me know if i should improve on it.
 
If I understand correctly, what you're asking for would look something like this:

views | source
10 http://stackoverflow.com/

Q: Careers: South Sudan becomes "Augusta, GA, USA" in list of places willing to relocate to

Andrew BrehmIn my list of places I am willing to relocate to, I list "Sudan" because that is closes to "South Sudan". When I try to list "South Sudan", Careers automatically rephrases that as "Augusta, GA", which is not quite the same. I think this should be fixed.

oy...)
@Shog9 That could be one implementation of it.
 
Because the question I linked to is asking for essentially this:

@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA what other implementation could there be?
 
@Shog9 which I do not care for. I dont care about the when more of the how many
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Which is the point you need to emphasize in order for it not to be a duplicate
 
@Shog9 lol idk, i mean in layout, not content.
@Shog9 , which I did, did I not?
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA yeah, there's a limit to what i can do WRT table formatting in chat
 
1:53 PM
@Shog9 lol true.
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Your example still focuses on where and not how many. Everyone wants "where". The "how many" bit is what you should be emphasizing.
 
@Shog9 I bolded it.
 
changed the title
 
@Shog9 thank you.
 
1:56 PM
Why can I not get my rep back for deleting a down voted question for an Area51 site in the definition phase, i.e. "Information Retrieval and Search Engines" ?
 
@GuyCoder You can, you'll just need to ask for a recalc
Area 51 lags behind the rest of the sites a bit - no auto-recalcs yet
voila - you have your rep back.
 
"Please do not downvote this topic or try it to closing only for respect."
^ a quick way to get a question downvoted and closed.

@Shog9 can u purge those comments that we had there? or are they relevant?
 
How do I ask for a recalc?
 
Lix
@guy - stackoverflow.com/reputation
or instead of stackoverflow - the site you want the recalc on - there is a button at the bottom of that page...
 
@GuyCoder You can use a custom mod flag to ask a moderator to do that for you.
(I think that's ok anyway)
 
Lix
2:15 PM
@jad - if you can do it yourself there is no need to involve a diamond...
 
recalcs aren't necessary anymore
 
Lix
that too :P
 
@Lix I'm aware =) I thought I heard that button was going away in the near future of something.
@balpha This was specifically about his Area51 rep. Shog9 had mentioned that Area51 didn't have auto-recalcs yet.
 
ah okay
 
:)

2:23 PM
@Guy - lets see that smile when u do a recalc and loose a bunch of rep ;)
 
Looks like he actually gained rep. Lucky =)
 
I don't understand why this FAQ entry has attracted three close-as-dupe votes; am I missing something?
 
@PopularDemand Odd... the supposed dupe has nothing to do with it.

2:38 PM
Is it possible to gain rep by putting something into the wiki?
 
@GuyCoder no
and there is no "into the wiki"
 
@GuyCoder If you mean the tag wikis, yes.
 
How?
 
@GuyCoder You get +2 rep for suggested edits to tag wikis that are approved by users with 5k or more rep
@GuyCoder You can read more about it here: How do suggested edits work?
 
2:50 PM
How do I find the wiki items, [wiki] and [wikis] at SO don't appear to be correct?
 
To see the tag wikis, click on a tag, then click on the "info" tab. That takes you here: stackoverflow.com/tags/antlr/info
 
@GuyCoder http://stackoverflow.com/tags/NAME_OF_THE_TAG_YOU_WANT/info
 
Then you just click "Edit Tag Wiki" =)
 
If you're super-adventurous, there's http://stackoverflow.com/edit-tag-wiki/ID_OF_THE_TAG_YOU_WANT_TO_EDIT, but you'd have to be some kind of savant to know your tags by database ID number.
@stackoverflow By the way, there are seven SO users named "stackoverflow"; eleven if you aren't being case-sensitive.
 
So only tags have a wiki area?
 
3:03 PM
@GuyCoder Hmmm. What exactly are you trying to do? What other wikis do you expect to see on SO?
 
Is it possible to get email notifications using the stackexchange "Filtered Questions" UI for questions that satisfy multiple tags? (i.e. tag A and tag B) I know that you can search for such questions using "[tagA][tagB]" but this doesn't appear to work for the stackexchange filters, is there another way?
 
Lix
@fd - RSS feeds might be useful to you instead of emails.... At the bottom (for example) of the tag on stackoverflow there is this RSS link
It'll also work if there are two tags specified...
 
Until I deleted the answer, I had an example of the unification algorithm in F#, and it looked like some people might want to improve on it for others searching for it. See: stackoverflow.com/questions/9524460/…
I moved it here www.antlr.org/share/1331919785752/Unification_Learning.pdf
The code was to large for a simple answer, and people wanted a quick answer.

Don't overreact now guys ;) In anycase I've run out of EP flags for today... If you're still breathing tomorrow i'll flag again ;)
 
Question for mods: Does 10k users going through "not an answer" flags and flagging them as "not an answer" or "invalid flag" actually help?
Or for anyone that might know, really.
 
Lix
@cd - in that case..... ;)
I believe that "re-flags" by 10K users are considered "more useful" than regular flags and are acted upon only by other d.mods
 
@Lix That was my assumption, but I wasn't quite sure. The "intro" you get when you break into 10k territory is... a bit weak.
 
You think it's bad now? You should've seen before the messages were introduced.
