@TimStone ah darn. I saw @Shog9 say "I say, with no evidence since these aren't being tracked" and was hoping I could prove him wrong q:

whistles innocently

Oh, you can still potentially do that, but he's right that it's not non-difficult to get that information. :P

@RebeccaChernoff If you wanna try, I'm actually kinda interested in how often this has been used (destroying a revision by editing it out within the grace period)

@RebeccaChernoff I see the upside-down bobblehead one... There's a different one?

@Shog9 Well, and since most things are Markdown-related I guess I can always test locally if the code's up-to-date and it really bothers me. I'm just not sure it's a good experience to be told there's activity on the post only to find out that nothing at all changed. But...this does happen already with new-but-deleted answers, so I'm willing to begrudgingly accept even that, I suppose.

(well, to most people the new-but-deleted answer case is also like nothing changing, that is)

@Shog9 different rotation and speed. I got picky about the rotation not forming my trademark (: hehe

@RebeccaChernoff how... do you know I'm seeing a...

(wait, filename changed didn't it)

hmm, actually, it's the sickness clouding me...I was the one with the cached image q:

no...

duh ):

You could tell me anything at this point and I'd second-guess myself. "You nuts? The sky's been bright green for a good five years now!"

@Shog9 I'm supposed to be a moderator on Stack Overflow, but you never checked the "admin" box next to my name. Could you take care of that real quick?

@Timjadarnel27 Fortunately, that would require @Rebecca's intervention. And I don't think she's quite that sick.

Well played, well played. golf claps

bows

It was worth a shot ;-)

@Shog9 You don't, eh? She's the one with a body, you know. She's always properly aligned. You, with the disembodied head thing going on... you're the one who's been backwards all this time!

@PopularDemand Hey, check my new Official Employee Photo - not only a body, but headphones

@Shog9 we can just toggle him to be a mod on a site he can't log in to (;

Is that what you see? Very interesting, very interesting....

@RebeccaChernoff Not exactly what I had in mind =)

This the right place for discussion about stackexchange layout?

Not officially, but there happen to be a couple of team members here at the moment.

I'm just starting to wonder if it is getting to be time to split SO into a couple of sub-sites

sorry, gotta go! hides behind @Shog9

(;

there seem to be sooo many questions posted now that most of them are ignored if they've been up for more than an hour

Most people who complain say that SO has already been split into too many sites.

(Not arguing, just pointing out.)

And hey there, real Josh.

well, I think they are wrong :-P

javascript could easily have it's own site

@LeeQuarella Posting to meta.stackoverflow.com would probably draw more eyeballs than this chat.

yeah, I'm working on that, but I wanted to do a little sanity check here first

It's unlikely that we'd be splitting SO into subsites, to be honest.

;-)

@LeeQuarella I think that's one of the "big city problems" that a site that size has, but I don't think the solution is splitting into more specific programming sites. In fact, I think that would be detrimental to smaller / less-popular topics.

For instance, Prolog is not a very popular tag. SO is probably not drawing in tons of Prolog experts. But I imagine some experts in other (popular) topics (like C#) are at least somewhat knowledgeable about Prolog, and thus those questions get at least some eyes on them (and possibly answers).

@LeeQuarella - my perspective is that the tag system works more flexibly than a split

Whereas a site dedicated solely to an unpopular topic is likely to become a ghost town, and not help anyone.

there are certain tags that I watch and if they don't get answers by the time I see the notifications it means they're probably either hard, interesting questions or bad questions

lots of people do similar

so the solution is to get more people to watch things they care about more closely

which looks awfully like what careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/19463/… is looking to get someone to do...

@PopularDemand -_-

@Timjadarnel27 I wasn't talking to you.

@PopularDemand Oh, I know!

@Timjadarnel27 Well, then, shush, you're interrupting. Man, some people. Rude.

We are about to throw down.

starts taking bets

When the first throw in the opposite direction joke/remark comes, @TimStone?

@TimStone Be careful how you bet, I know the secret to getting him to back down.

Oh, I don't gamble...I'm just a trustworthy party willing to hold the cash.

Hahah

Break on Through Back Door Man The End When the Music's Over People are strange, yup, that's the right one. I just got Guru for knowing that character constants have type int in C.

=)

Upvote ALL the trivia!

fancy

@DanielFischer Doors songs!

<---Gets it now. Thanks Google. Also, congrats on the Guru =)

Google? What's happened to culture? Those were icons.

Also, thanks.

@DanielFischer Icons...those things on my laptop?

@Timjadarnel27 No, those things that are revered in religions. Holy stuff.

@DanielFischer Ohhh, those icons.

Everything I know about classic rock, I learned in "History of Rock Music" - a bullshit class I took during my senior year of college.

That is, assuming that "The Doors" are considered rock. I'm pretty sure they were mentioned in the class.

You should listen to some of it. What remained until today is mostly far better than anything from the last two decades.

The Doors, Black Sabbath, the Pistols, Ramones ...

Aw, but I like lots of music from the last 2 decades. That's the whole time I've been alive!

Off my lawn!!!

If rock music were an SE site, I'd close The Doors.

Bazinga!

@DanielFischer Hahaha. I do like some older music though.

Oh, Bach and Händel, they were absolutely fantastic, yeah.

Or is that too old?

A pun involving Mozart's ear.

@DanielFischer Slightly too old. Liszt would be closer =)

Never heard much of him, I have to admit.

(heard as in "listened to")

I like listening to baroque in the car; it's much more relaxing than, say, Liszt.

Hungarian Rhapsody #2 is incredible. You should check it out.

"If it ain't baroque, don't listen to it"

Of course, if you ever watched Looney Tunes you've heard parts of it.

@Timjadarnel27 More modern than Bach and Händel, perhaps Ravel, Mussorgsky, Shostakovich?

@DanielFischer I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard his Hungarian stuff. It was used for a ton of cartoons

@mmyers My cartoons came on paper. We had no TV yet when I was that young.

@DanielFischer Heh. Ravel wrote an awesome piano concerto for just the left hand. Commissioned by a virtuoso pianist who lost his right hand in an accident.

I'm no classical music expert, but my brother is, and he's a huge Shostakovich fan.

Yes, he (Ravel) did some fancy stuff. And since 1984, his Bolero is of course immortal. (Google Torvill/Dean, if you don't know what I'm talking about.)

@DanielFischer I didn't see much of the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons until I was in my late teens

@Timjadarnel27 I'm a huge fan of some of Shostakovich's work. The first (gee, what's the English word for it?) Satz of his 7-th and 13-th symphonies are some of the best ever.

It goes down to merely very good from then on.

Haha, no kidding. I know I've listened to some of it. Our local symphony did a feature on Shostakovitch recently, but I didn't go.

I know NOTHING!

That's okay, you can pretend you don't

whew

Wait, that conversation still makes sense now.

SCHULTZ!

why would someone think SO is Google support: stackoverflow.com/a/10707628/168175 ?

Por favor?

google translate makes pretty good sense of it

apparently it's Portuguese

Daniel's disconcerting daily dilemma: suggested edits with edit message "Spelling and grammer".

I did 1), but not 2), had to also fix formatting.

Hmm, someone tries to retag all domino tagged questions lotus-notes, does anybody know whether that's correct?
