New atomic chess video! Atomic checkmate with a knight and a rook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo0Ek7u107w

First time I heard about atomic chess... watching the game without knowing the rules was really weird.

It's atommmmmic chess.

it has a half life; every now and again you just take half the pieces of the board

The 2-rep requirement in MSE really reduced spam...

sudden urge to request to implement on all sites...

@AndrewT. That wouldn't be bad on SO only for questions.

Doorknob

I hope you're joking...

Andrew T.

3:50 AM

Actually, yes, I was joking. It'd be downvoted if I asked.

bjb568

@Doorknob I'm not. I'd certainly put a rep barrier for asking on DD if it became a problem.

And holy hell is it a huge problem on SO.

Doorknob

@AndrewT. I was talking to bjb

There are so many things wrong with that approach I don't even know where to start

Andrew T.

It's kind of a dilemma; when you add a rep-requirement, some (most?) askers will do anything to be able to ask, no matter how bad they are (e.g. suggesting bad edit). Meanwhile, they only need one acceptable suggestion edit.

bjb568

It's about resistance. One more barrier will turn away 80% of the vamps.

Now, of course, the suggested edit review system is broken and that needs to be fixed, but that's a different problem.

I've been in favor of removing the +2 rep from editing.

while we're at it, let's add a requirement for address and ID

@Quill It seems he doesn't have time for postmortems these days.

It probably wasn't serious enough for a postmortem beyond a few tweets anyway

although a status update on the HTTP/S situation would be awesome

user315433

He does some of the major ones, like the March 28 post.

Sometimes I wonder how new users discover SE networks (other than SO), especially the smaller one.

(then ask a horrible, off-topic question)

Best possibility is... searching an answer for their question, found an answer on SE site, browse other question, and.... ask wrong question?

That should be it. Without taking a tour or reading help center, it's a big chance they assume their questions on-topic.
