Tavern on the Meta

btw, Shog, is there any feature request about listing recent suggested edits on tag wiki/excerpt that I can vote up?

Sometimes people edit for formatting in a way that makes the post worse. When that is all they are doing, I reject it as “too minor”, even though that is not the right reason.

However, when they have done some good stuff (fixing misspellings or adding obvious dropped words that somebody out) as well, I "improve" theirs by fixing the formatting corrections myself. I still give them the +2 because I want to encourage help.

I have mostly suppressed the custom rejection reason of “You screwed up the formatting even worse.”

I guess you could argue that the graffiti artistes who go in and backtick every third-and-a-halfth word for that awesome ransom-note look are committing vandalism, but I usually reject those as too minor instead.

12:19 AM

What’s the right rejection reason for an edit that makes the post harder to read not easier to read?

Or is that too subjective a thing even to contemplate?

@tchrist Change meaning/vandalism, depending on the severity

@AstroCB Okay, then that is a problem.

Because it is neither changing the meaning nor overt vandalism.

It is just being dumb.

They are trying to be helpful.

@tchrist I guess you could use a custom reason saying just that.

I'd say something like "Thanks for the effort, but it appears that you've obfuscated the post more than you've clarified it."

just me or SE is having random timeouts?

@tchrist "incorrect - This edit does not improve the post."

@Braiam Reproduced over here on Safari.

I'm having random issues, like "Connection was reset" and "Timeouts" when trying to access the different pages of SE and when posting in chat. Is difficult to nail the exact problem because it works fine until it doesn't and then start working fine again. I've noticed that as general symptom whe...

@AstroCB mm...?

@Braiam Well, I figured I'd post it here since you just discussed it above.

Ok, just ran the SO edit queue. 3 tag wiki edits, 2 for regular posts. The regular posts both needed a lot more help that what was proposed. So I “improved” them, including annotating the log message. I gave them all their +2, even though the last one really took much more work than it should have.

I almost never approve an edit but deny them their +2. I wonder if I am too generous, or not generous enough.

@Braiam SE is also lagging for me.

List of sexually active popes

Andy

I thought the ALT text on that first image was going to lead to a joke Wikipedia entry. It did not

This is a list of sexually active popes, Catholic priests who were sexually active before becoming pope, and popes who were legally married. Some candidates were sexually active before their election as pope, and it has sometimes been claimed that other popes were sexually active during their papacies. Such relationships were undertaken outside the bond of matrimony and broke the vow of chastity. There have been 266 popes. Since 1585, no pope is known to have been sexually active before, during or after election to the Papacy. There are various classifications for those who were sexually active...

It would have been deleted anyway, so it couldn't have hurt too much, as long as it's not spam or a different question.

mod-delete-plz dv-answers-so-autodelete stackoverflow.com/questions/10275588/…

@ColeJohnson I give up: why mod delete? And what’s DV?

@tchrist it has upvoted answers. The auto delete only kicks in when every post has a negative score. So a mod delete would be quicker than waiting for downvotes.

And dv == downvote

@ColeJohnson Still should only take a few delete votes for the whole kit and kaboodle on the original question, right?

I do so wish our delete-vote system were as streamlined as our close-vote system is. Review queue.

Could I just flag the question as low quality and it go to the LQQ?

Theory and practice diverge on how “bad” questions — and as applicable, answers — will ultimately be downvoted, closed, and deleted. That really doesn’t happen a squidgen as much as theory would have it.

4:08 AM

Bad questions' answers will still be upvoted by people thinking they are useful

But it is closed, so we can delete it.

@tchrist I wish there was syntax such as [so-tag:microsoft-word] so I don't have to edit the linked url

ponders

As for autoclose, we could modify SmokeDetector to post questions tagged ms-word spell-checking

@ColeJohnson These are the troublesome ones.

Yeah, people think that if microsoft word squiggles them, they must be doing something wrong.

They don’t ever seem to consider, or at least not seriously enough, that just yet another bug.

Or that they shouldn't write code in word

It’s strange. Usually when a program does something ugly to me, I blame the program, not myself. But with Microsoft Word, lots and lots and lots of people make the opposite default assumption.

@ColeJohnson boggles

4:17 AM

Well, if everytime I misspelled a word and it popped up with the spell checker after the space bar, I'd get more upset

Ugh. My jello is sugar-free.

@bjb568 Add some.

The grammar-checker is even worse than the spell-checker. And that’s saying something.

It may be, I suppose, that some distinction is being made between coördinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions as to whether they are valid as sentence-starts, but this still seems like so much Prescriptivist Poppycock™ from where I’m standing. Yeah ok fine: you probably shouldn’t invert a “Not only X but also Y” into a “But also Y, not only X” type of thing, but I cannot really see where this silliness is coming from. IMHO, it’s just meaningless cargo-cult language laws, rules without reasons. — tchrist 19 mins ago

4:23 AM

There is not now, nor has never been, nor shall ever be, such a “rule” of English grammar. And now you’re telling me that Microsoft Word tries to enforce such nonsense? Really?

If this made your English teacher happy, you should have fired them and gotten a real one.

Or dropped it and tried jQuery.

@ColeJohnson On the internet, avoid sweet @Cupcakes

@tchrist I don't know where you're from, but here in America, teachers are part of a union and can't be fired. Not to mention, I can't choose my teachers

I'm in high school, not college

You can choose jQuery!

How’s that go? “Fire them all. God will know His own.” Something like that.

I have never met a high school English teacher who knew the least bit about English grammar.

Literature, perhaps. But language? Never.

4:26 AM

The English teachers teach literature also in California

Languages should have specs.

We do not teach English to our students in America.

@ColeJohnson Not just CA.

@bjb568 And a test suite.

The annoying thing is that English and a second language are "so important", schools don't even teach basic life skills such as balancing a checkbook

4:27 AM

Suites are sweet.

@ColeJohnson or jQuery.

@Cupcake Boy, if he thinks SO has high standards, I cannot imagine his umbrage at certain other SE sites.

@bjb568 It isn't a language.

@InfiniteRecursion flag

@InfiniteRecursion Bah, there's a jQuery plugin to fix that.

And that was Boy as in Gee whiz not as in You my slave.

4:28 AM

"Learning a second language will help you get a job!" Not if I can't balance a checkbook, take out loans, buy/sell stock, get insurance, etc.

And all the math teachers at my school assert that sqrt(x^2) == x

@ColeJohnson I’m afraid you aren’t going to get much sympathy with that line. It’s silly.

My line or the teachers'?

Maybe if you find some other insular monoglots to group-gripe with about being forced to learn something, you might, but not ’round here.

I don't mind learning

I mind bad education

Everyone should learn a couple seven languages they weren’t born to. It’s good for you.

4:31 AM

I agree, but my argument is that you shouldn't shove a second language down my throat if you won't teach me basic life skills.

Placing stock acquisition skills higher than language skills is silly.

Multiple languages is a basic life skill.

@tchrist Seven! How many languages have you learnt?

The stock market is not.

They were just examples of things that a school should teach.

English is the universal human lang. What more could you want?

4:32 AM

@InfiniteRecursion Perhaps I am being a hypocrite and suggesting that others do more than I did.

If you don't know English, you're not important enough.

Do programming languages count :p

Trying to fragment human langs is bad.

@ColeJohnson They should.

@bjb568 Nonsense.

The Ugly American is a 1958 political novel by Eugene Burdick and William Lederer upon which a 1963 movie starring Marlon Brando was based. The novel became a bestseller, was influential at the time, and is still in print.

@ColeJohnson Holy Java! They sell kids Java!

@InfiniteRecursion I don’t know. I’ve studied . . . a lot of them. I am competent in very few.

Well, comparatively few.

Far fewer than I’ve studied.

@ColeJohnson High school teaches one how to learn. What one learns depends on the individual.

4:38 AM

Horses. Water. Drink. Drank. Drunk.

@InfiniteRecursion not where I live

No reason to argue with kids. They know everything already.

@InfiniteRecursion not most of them

If you haven’t lost track of how many languages you’ve worked with, then you haven’t worked with enough of them.

Whether human or programming.

Monocultures are unhealthy environments: far too vulnerable to extinction events.

So you are an unhappy high school kid. I’m sorry that you have not had a fulfilling education experience. But honestly, you are the most important factor in what you learn, nothing else and no one else.

I had the most asinine of “Advanced” Algebra teachers. And my Chemistry teacher would come to class drunk off his butt.

But I still learned them. Because I wanted to. That’s really all that matters.
