Mini Metro is a transport simulation video game developed by Dinosaur Polo Club for Windows, OS X and Linux. The game is about creating an efficient subway network for a rapidly growing city. == Development == Mind the Gap, the prototype for Mini Metro, was created in April 2013 during Ludum Dare 26. In September 2013, the first pre-alpha build was released. After several public alpha builds were tested and released, the game was made available for pre-order on 9 April 2014. The game was released on Steam as an Early Access title on 11 August 2014. Two days later, on 13 August 2014, DRM-...

in English Language & Usage on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, Apr 15 at 15:39, by Andrew Leach
Posts with Korean characters anywhere are now blacklisted on ELU.
 
@ProgramFOX ah so that means you can't ask/answer a question with those characters. It'll just give you an error message, I think.
 
@hichris123 Probably, but it did stop the spam bots.
All spam during that wave stopped after the blacklist.
 
@ProgramFOX Does that mean the u"오피" isn’t necessary either?
 
@minitech It might pop up on other sites. I doubt it... but...
 
4:34 PM
@minitech I thought of keeping that one, just in case they start spamming on another site.

I figured out my flagging problem from earlier - it turns out someone moved it, and by the time my flag had reached a moderator, it was moved already. :|
 
user259867
I tested this on ELU -- the usual "title cannot contain X" pop-up is shown.
 
user259867
It's a client side (what do I know) check as for words like Problem on SO.
 
client-side?
 
4:37 PM
It's server-side.
 
user259867
@hichris123 I thought those title warnings/blocks were client-side JS additions. (Based mostly on the fact that Shog could add them without going through dev team.)
 
@pizza That's where you're mistaken – Shog socks comprise the dev team.
Hmm...I think that's the proper usage; @tchrist?
 
@pizza They're server side -- there's a page for Shog to add them to. :) Mods can also see all of them (the blacklist page has both tags blacklisted and text blacklisted).

Q: How can I avoid the risk of mistakenly deleting data from a production environment with no backups?

Jude NiroshanI am a junior developer who is still not confident in my role. I am dealing with very sensitive, unrecoverable data in our production environment.

This is screwed up.

Q: Error in my proof?

Arulx ZWhat is wrong in this proof. It seems correct to me but still doesn't make proper sense. $=\sqrt{...\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{5}}}}$ $=5^{1/\infty}$ $=5^0$ $=1$ EDIT So does this mean that $5^{1/\infty} = 1$ $(5^{1/\infty})^\infty = 1^\infty$ But according to me, $1^\infty$ is indeterminate.

6 likes for a random user? Wow, their users must be seriously bored.

@hichris123 true, unless you pay I guess; but c9 has better billing
 
@DavidKron There used to be a simple 'delete' button, but with the new profile page it's been moved.
 
Okay, is there anyway to unlink my questions and answers to me without deleting?
Because thats essentially what i need, if i delete my account i would make a new one afterwards.
Ive had some private issues regarding the link between my se activity and me
 
@DavidKron To dissociate any questions/answers simply flag the post with a custom moderator flag and state exactly why you want it deleted.
 
5:30 PM
You can flag your own post that you want to be diso... ninja'd
 
"Linux has gone 258 days without being checked, check forced" ← it’s been a while since I turned on my laptop 😒
 
Not deleted, but dissociated, as u said
 
Yes, custom flag it, and ask to dissociate, while also explain the reason
 
@DavidKron If it's an issue that you posted some private code, usually it won't be removed. However if this is the case I'd edit the private code out and then flag the post and ask the previous edits to be purged from the database.

@AndrewT. But moderators can't disassociate posts; it's an employee function.

5:34 PM
I post an answer, it had an error and caused someone to post it to a chatroom which caused it to be downvoted. I then deleted it and posted a new edited answer. The same user then saw the revised version, told everyone that it's the same one (with no edits), causing downvotes..
 
Just edit the old answer...
 
I did, still got downvotes. Luckily the user who initially posted it to chat was told off (I think it was by a mod, not sure) and had their downvote reversed and messages removed (or maybe they did).
Downvoting an edited answer is, to quote that user, 'not cool', even if I did repost it after the other one was deleted.
in my opinion the C++ lot are the hardest of them all
anyways:
 
Hello everyone! @cy
@cybermonkey Why would you even bother answering that question
 
Oh god, am on bus, will see if I can get home in less than 7h (ie not get lost)
 
It seems to me that it is pretty opinion based, if you are talking about this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/29720288/…
 
5:45 PM
edit on grace period won't bump the post, right?
 
user259867
Yes, if it's folded into the previous edit, there'll be no new timestamp. However, the requirements for folding are stricter now: no comments since the previous edit.
 
Thanks, just a bit worry to my excessive edits after answering the question due to grammar/typo.

what to do with a user posts an OT question which is closed and is pointed to another SE site where their new question is closed again and they're pointed to the original site?
That's what's happened here: stackoverflow.com/questions/29720648/…
 
At least one of the communities might need to get educated in such a case
 
This happens between SO and PSE a lot
 
Yeah, in this case I think it's Server Fault...
that question is better suited to SF than SO since it's about server configuration, perhaps it would also be good to recommend SU..
 
@frank quit it with the pollen
you don't need children
 
6:07 PM
I think there's a bot that posts in the PSE chat every time an SO comment has "programmers" in it so we can quickly correct any comment saying "this should be on programmers SE" (if they're wrong); we might be an extreme case though
 
How about SU?
 
so... can any Server Fault moderator here re-open that question? If that fails, flag with a custom flag? I gave away my rep as a bounty.
 
SF only accepts questions that are related to a business.
Home setups are a no.
 
@hichris123 could be, but I have a feeling that the user will be pointed to SF.
 
6:13 PM
For some reason, sometimes the chat notification is bugged? I just received notification from pizza about NAA flag, but I already dismissed the mention here :/
 
user259867
@cybermonkey Not just "could be" but definitely yes. Those directing such questions to SF should stop doing that.

6:37 PM
@bjb568 Styling is still ugly, but I settled for just a sticky header (disorient.ddns.net/SOVoteMonitor/qa.jsp?q=1), thanks for the tips. Took me forever to figure out how to make it work with dynamic sized headers and the anchor links.
 
<q>? Ugh.
 
Why ugh?
@JasonC Why do you need prev/next when the controls are on the top?
 
... why would you need an HTML element for a simple quotation mark?
A: you don't.
 
@bjb568 It goes prev/next but jumps straight to that user, for navigating through just one person's responses.
 
I bet the argument relies on <q>the semantic</q>
 
6:39 PM
Although on the other hand I suppose you could just go read their answer. I dunno.
 
@hichris123 dude, semantics
 
@AndrewT. Correct! A cookie for you!
@bjb568 ...
 
It is a little disorienting for the users at the bottom of the page.
 
@JasonC Your tool is for looking at each candidate's response to each question, if you want to look at each candidate you can go to the actual page.
 
Hmmm... I'm totally on the fence but that's a good point...
 
6:41 PM
@bjb568: Anyway, not everything enclosed in quotation marks actually represents a quote
 
Argh

I don’t really mind prototype extensions that much, but it does stop essentials.js from being required and used standalone
 
Delete vote probably is too much. I thought SO accepts "bad practice" to be downvoted to let other viewers learn?
 
Oh god there're bugs now…
@AndrewT. you mean good practices right?
 
I dunno, I'm stupid on JS-thingy.
 
@AndrewT.: I don't see how having them around makes viewers learn.
Instead I hear about "omg moderator nazi downvoted this question I needed help with".
 
Should I post my new md parser on CR?
