I'm not sure how that guy answered the question above ^ .. it looks like he answered in python? but there is no mention of what programming language in the question, not that it matters for an algorithm, but thats why I cv'd as off topic. Thoughts?

Q: Tag name poll: [swift], [apple-swift], or [swift-language]?

Jeremy BanksWe recently had a discussion about the appropriate tag to use for the Swift programming language. Swift is Apple's successor to Objective-C, which is currently the 16th most popular tag on Stack Overflow. The tag it ended up with (due to unilateral moderator action, not community consensus) is sw...

That warrants a bug report, I think.
 
@JeremyBanks A poll like that was never a good, on-topic question, but I left it alone so the community could vote. Now that it's taken care of, the question is useless. If someone else has a problem with it, they can start their own question because nothing constructive would come out of anything else being posted on that one.
 
I guess it does make sense to lock the votes.
But why comments, edits, and flags?
 
@bjb568 because you don't have more granular locking (yet?)
 
What comments, edits, or flags would need to be made on that?

@animuson I think we should also hold a poll on that position.

@JanDvorak I don't think it's a question.
 
It's an inner question

I suppose there was an implied rhetorical question, although I'm not sure whether rhetorical questions should be considered questions. I should probably do some reading on linguistic philosophy.
 
@bjb568 gone
 
Yeah, but great.

Q: Are poll-style questions ever acceptable on meta sites?

Jeremy BanksOn proper Stack Exchange sites, poll-style "questions" are not considered acceptable. They typically would serve only to measure users' opinions in aggregate, which is not constructive. However, meta sites are a bit different, as determining users' opinions is one of their purposes. The scores o...

@JanDvorak I'm again struggling with flag type for it, will too-broad go fine? because, I think that duplicate won't work, because other question has no answer.
@bjb568 I didn't know we have standards for these also. :O
 
@DroidDev Some of them have variants, but that's what I've seen used the most.
 
@bjb568 like for :)
 
Oh yeah, that makes more sense.
 
@DroidDev that would be deletion vote, wouldn't it?

Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure, particularly in leisure activities. Fun is an experience - short-term, often unexpected, informal, not cerebral and generally purposeless. It is an enjoyable distraction, diverting the mind and body from any serious task or contributing an extra dimension to it. Although particularly associated with recreation and play, fun may be encountered during work, social functions, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. It may often have little to no logical basis, and opinions on whether or not an activity is fun may differ. The distinction betwe...
 
A rerun or repeat is a rebroadcast of an episode of a radio or television program. There are two types of reruns – those that occur during a hiatus, and those that occur when a program is syndicated. Reruns can also be, as the case with more popular shows, when a show is aired outside of its timeslot (for example, in the afternoon). In the United Kingdom, the word "repeat" refers only to a single episode; "rerun" or "rerunning" is the preferred term for an entire series/season. "Repeat" is also used to refer to programs shown less than a week after the original broadcast, before the next...

@TimStone the links to your profile pages on elections.stackexchange.com are dead - "This page was put together by Yi Jiang and Tim Stone."

@TimPost Thanks. That might explain it.
 
@MartinvonWittich Additionally depressing is that clicking on the unicorns link at the bottom does nothing. Well wait, oh no, DOES IT KILL A UNICORN EVERY TIME YOU CLICK IT?

@TimPost We can repair that in a blink 10 seconds flat. Have the link point to the MPL:FIM Hub page...
 
@TimPost oh my god you made me click on that unicorn link. Now I feel bad :(
@3ventic I'm confused. Am I in the wrong channel? It says chat.meta.stackexchange.com in my URL bar.
 
@MartinvonWittich the profile links, replace stackoverflow with stackexchange and it works

@TimPost do you have access to change elections.stackexchange.com? ^
 
I have access to change it, but I have no idea where to change it, Tim Stone's key is also on that server so he can easily login
 
@TimPost what do you mean "where"? Isn't it ordinary web page sitting on some server?

It's a node.js app
Tim will need to make the change, push to github, then we can pull / restart on the VM

@JanDvorak it always feels like an icky non-language.
 
why?
 
The existence of a bunch of languages that compile to JS is enough proof that there's something wrong with the language.
 
more than likely my lack of knowledge @JanDvorak. I have to use it on such limited occasions that I'm always merely hacking away at it until it seems to work.
 
11:38 AM
I've been working with TypeScript for over a year now and I don't want to go back to regular JS.
 
And to auto-generate it from my C++ code, to be embedded inside a PDF which does not have a really nice development experience in their non-pro acrobat ... sigh
 
@Stijn or that it's the only language in which you can do X (web development), but you prefer another language
@Bart I agree, that results in unreadable code (but so does any compilation)
 
ah, with javascript and css that looks a lot better...
 
@JanDvorak I might just be whining unreasonably, but I will never admit to that. JAVASCRIPT IS AT FAULT!!
