@RebeccaChernoff I know, I'm so ashamed!

@Shog9 -5 on the main sites? Or just a typo?

Michael Petrotta

@animuson: there are no Michaels in chat. I believe I've heard of a Michael Mrozek, but...

Shog9

@TimStone Last i checked, -5 drops it from the main page.

(of course, this is probably different on SO... because it's SO... but whatever)

Tim Stone

It's < -4/-8 respectively, unless it changed, so there's an off-by-one depending on how you want to talk about the number.

Ah, the OP is wrong. Or I'm wrong. But I just answered this question the other week and no one corrected me. So if I'm wrong everyone else is too.

No, now I'm just confused.

Shog9

9

A: Meta sites' front pages should not hide questions with very low scores

The threshold is higher on meta, I think it's -8 or so compared to -4 on the parent site. Are you recommending that as the standard for all metas? I think I could support that. edit: setting this to a global value of -8 for all metas.

You're right

Damn off-by-one errors

Tim Stone

Quickly, let's /blame @JeremyBanks since he just showed up and won't have his guard up yet.

You just have to beat people into submission so they'll either use your full name, or only ever use explicit replies.

Moshe

12:31 AM

@MichaelPetrotta Hullo!

Michael Petrotta

Hey, Moshe.

animuson

Why not just notify the last user who was here that matches the name?

Michael Petrotta

What if there are two users with the same name?

animuson

Notify them both only if they're both in chat at that time?

Michael Petrotta

Sorry for the runaround earlier, @Moshe. Big corporations...

Sure, @animuson, that works.

Moshe

12:33 AM

@MichaelPetrotta No problem. It was exciting regardless. Feel free to gimme a shootout should you need anything. :-)

I'm interning at this place now.

Michael Petrotta

Will do.

Tim Stone

@animuson Well, the whole bit about the notifications is that you get them when you aren't in chat. So you can't make concrete assumptions about what someone coming along later was replying to in cases where they use a vague name reference, unless you want throw caution to the wind and risk not notifying people of things that actually were addressed to them.

mootinator

Imagineer isn't a trademark of Disney Corp? :P

Anonymous

@Shog9 That nutty idea is, more or less, what I'm saying. Not "forbidden" in general, but extremely discouraged as a response to scope changes. My ideal is something like replacing "vote to delete" with "vote to delist" for questions more than a year old. Jumping on that one sentence in the post was a bit silly, though.

Tim Stone

@mootinator Who's going to argue with a waffle?

Moshe

12:34 AM

@mootinator No idea. I actually thought of that the other day. Then I said to myself "naaaawww"

mootinator

Yeah, it would be silly

Michael Petrotta

They like fully justified text on their website far too much, @Moshe. But if that's the worst thing...

@TimStone DaVinci had an expired patent on the word?

Moshe

@MichaelPetrotta I dunno, I just need to use their graphics, not make em. Their whole brand is a bit 2000s . (Not 2010s)

Shog9

@JeremyBanks There's some merit to that, but this is something we're approaching rather carefully. As some of the recent discussions demonstrate, in some cases "old" is a rather good reason to delete (vs. delist, lock, archive) something - if answers aren't being kept up-to-date, a question may well lose most of its value.

Tim Stone

@mootinator Much less interesting. Alcoa Aluminum used it in its marketing materials in the 40s.

A: Should "What is the best Python book for experienced programmers?" get a historical lock?

I'm guessing the main problem with this question is that book lists become outdated as soon as the ink is dry, and locked questions can't be updated—indeed, that's the whole point of locking them. So essentially we'd be keeping around outdated information, without the ability to keep it more c...

Moshe

@MichaelPetrotta Also, I think you're forgetting that I'm still getting started in life. I'm not an established anything yet. A little false lead never killed anyone.

Shog9

12:40 AM

^^^ There's a question that probably should be either open or deleted - in other words, the normal question lifecycle.

Moshe

So, no worries. I appreciate the consideration.

Shog9

(should probably also be merged with the half-dozen or so identical questions)

Moshe

^_^

Shog9

@Moshe This headache is really messing up my ability to scan lots of text. I read that as, "I'm still getting started in life, I've never killed anyone"

Moshe

@Shog9 Haha, but apparently your headache isn't starting in life. It's killing you as we chat.

Anonymous

12:42 AM

@Shog9 True. I think most of the harm done by keeping low-value delisted questions on the site could be mitigated by noindexing them so that nobody could find them without a direct link (save the links!!), but I appreciate that this could make things more complicated.

Shog9

@JeremyBanks One reason why I'm watching this "historical lock" thing play out. There's a couple of very different directions we could go in: the "framing the past" elevation of gems that no longer benefit from being updated, or the "dumping ground" dismissal of everything past a certain age / with inbound links / up-votes into a ghetto somewhere.

mootinator

I'm still getting started in life. The wife, kid, house and job confuse me as much as anyone else.

Michael Petrotta

I'm playing "Draw Something", and enjoying it immensely. I apparently haven't yet started in life.

Tim Stone

@MichaelPetrotta I'm tmslft there, if you feel the need to procrastinate even more.

Michael Petrotta

Noted for when I get home, @TimStone.

Moshe

Michael Petrotta

mootinator

Pfft, I started a non-existent software company to write Draw Something 10 years ago.

We just never got around to it.

Michael Petrotta

" I started a non-existent software company" My brain hurts.

It's complicated enough that that isn't inaccurate.

Michael Petrotta

fair enough.

Moshe

12:49 AM

Lol

In other news, I probably won an iPod touch in the AskDifferent contest, pending any technicalities that may arise as the contest unfolds.

Shog9

@Moshe You mean, "unless balpha finds all my sockpuppets"? ;-P

Moshe

@Shog9 Lies.

Well, there are no sockpuppets.

But if there are more than 25 winners, who wins?

First 25?

The 25 with the most genuine votes?

Because yesterday I was asking around here and so if there are 26+ winners, I fear disqualification.

Tim Stone

@Shog9 Interesting to note that despite the high view count, the question is also not on the greatest hits list. Which may or may not mean anything, given how miserly anonymous is.

Moshe

But I've been participating more as of late, so hopefully I'll be good.

And now, gotta run to pray. Be back in about 20 or so.

mootinator

@MichaelPetrotta Suffice to say that most of the people involved were more interested in the prospect of making money off of thinking they have good ideas than actually spending their free time writing software.

Shog9

12:54 AM

@TimStone It's Google-bait. Book questions tend to be.

Tim Stone

Right, but if no one actually gains anything from it, the information isn't as useful as people might claim it to be (in a general sense, not just in regard to this question). Unfortunately, that's hard to measure.

Michael Petrotta

@mootinator: People are a problem.

Tim Stone

Hmm, speaking of off-by-one errors...looks like the Greatest Hits list has one.

Shog9

@TimStone Heh... I suppose we could look at how much Amazon paid us for referrals... But I'm not sure how granular that is, and most of those Python books aren't Amazon links anyway. Also, us making money isn't necessarily a great metric of general usefulness ;-P

Tim Stone

Well, might be useful to you, but yeah ;)

Shog9

Dammit. Just realized I credited Tim Post instead of Tim Stone when correcting my off-by-one error. That Post guy needs to change his name back.

Though luckily for him (but perhaps not luckily for his good name), it's normally people confusing me for @TimPost instead of the other way around.

Michael Petrotta

1:11 AM

What's up with that, anyway? Because both post and stone are simple, concrete objects? I find the two names much more similar than is really warranted.

I notice someone brought up the fish/dishwasher question which was used as an excuse to delete my perfectly [sort-of] legitimate question about using a band-saw to cut meats.

mootinator

Oh right.

It's a good idea.

And only mostly a stupid question.

Tim Stone

@MichaelPetrotta We like to take things back to a simpler time, when posts and stones were the tools of the day...or something.

Shog9

It's... A terrible idea. But a hilarious question

Tim Stone

Debit cards are evil, apparently. I have zero credit because I'm always able to afford what I buy, and therefore have only ever used my debit card, heh. I need cave and get an actual credit card, I guess. Or move somewhere civil.

Yi Jiang's Proble_

cdeszaq

12:31 PM

@TimStone I was in the same boat until I figured out that my bank has a credit card that can trivially be set up to auto-pay itself directly from my checking account once a month. So now, it's just like a really slow debit card that builds my credit and gives me "rewards"

Tim Stone

Yeah, I should have no problem doing the same thing...I just hate that I have to, I suppose.

cdeszaq

I'm personally a big fan of the barter system and don't really find money to be that great of an idea. But then, most of the world seems to think otherwise

Moshe

@shog9, You have it backwards. It's "Canada, eh?"

Theres a need for a support group for programmers who are addicted to using acronyms to describe the technologies they use. (HTML, ASP, CSS, CLI, AJAX, REST, SOAP, JSP, API)

It would be called Acronyms Anonymous, or AA, for short.

cdeszaq

@Moshe Now, make that a self-recursive acronym, like GNU

Yi Jiang's Proble_

@Moshe My new CLI ASP application has a SOAP/REST API content and an Ajax HTML and CSS frontend with JSP

(How did I do?)

cdeszaq

12:39 PM

@YiJiangsProble_ (no bad, but you could do better ;-) )

Yi Jiang's Proble_

But I mean, come on, none of those are really buzzword worthy

CLI is reallllly old - no programmer would go around toting their CLI application as the next big thing

Moshe

Members of the newly established AA would drink WINE at their meetings.

Yi Jiang's Proble_

*groan*

Moshe

I have passionate distaste for acronyms that aren't self explanatory.

cdeszaq

@Moshe I'm not sure I've ever met a self-explanatory acronym...

Moshe

12:41 PM

Well, acronyms in general tend not to be.

:-)

Think of one. Youll be the savior of AA.

cdeszaq

I guess self-recursive ones are technically self-explanatory

Yi Jiang's Proble_

PROTECT IP act? Congress usually comes up with very silly acronyms for its bills

It stands for "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act", apparently

Somebody gets paid to come up with these names all day. Think about it.

cdeszaq

@YiJiangsProble_ Good point. I'm pretty sure they spend more time coming up with a title that makes a sensible acronym than they do actually reading the legislation that others write for them

jadarnel27

@Moshe I think that acronym might be taken already. Can't remember what it is though.
