Q: Badge count inconsistency

Nathan TaylorThere appears to be a discrepancy between the badges displayed next to my username and the badges displayed in my profile. On M.SO I see 2(S) 13(B) (total:15), but on my profile page there are only 13 badges listed. Similarly, on SO I see 14(S) 31(B) (total:45), but on my profile page it lists ...

ya that one :)
 
I take this as a sign I should actually be doing work :-)
@NathanTaylor I see a definite lack of freehand circles... ;-)
 
interestingly, there's a problem on SO too, top says 45, profile says 46
 
@TheUnhandledException |:
 
@rchern Hey! I can't argue with the WOB!
Sowwy
 
3:03 AM
hrmph.
 
@NathanTaylor Oh, weird. They must have broken something..
Because I realized that I have the same issue, heh.
 
Oh? let me check my own account
 
@TheUnhandledException Yep, the count didn't go up for the Talkative badge I received on MSO or SO
 
in The SO Tavern (General) on Stack Overflow Chat, Nov 7 at 6:27, by Dan Grossman
"There are two hard problems in computer science. Naming, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors."
 
Ok @NathanTaylor I fixed that question for you
Now everyone can upvote it

3:06 AM
@rchern I tried to vindicate you by spinning the wheel to see whose fault it was that the WOB pointed the finger at you....but it landed on you again, so my hands are tied.
 
Oy. ):
 
I tried. :(
 
Luckily though, I spun the WOB to see who's fault it was that the WOB said it was my fault. 'Tis @YiJiang's fault.

A: Badge count inconsistency

The Unhandled ExceptionI am seeing a similar issue:

 
@rchern That seems likely. Glad we have resolution on that issue.
 
3:12 AM
@Tim post your issue also :-)
 
@TheUnhandledException Ver iz zis zupposed Rozterrr?
 
@drachenstern I don't speak Z, sorry.
Oh
@drachenstern It's here
You're #8... on page 2 :-)
 
So I spun the WOB without anything in particular in mind. Does this mean Marc Gravell is to blame for nothing?
 
@TheUnhandledException yeah ... I think I know what it is ... Kevin will fix it
 
@waffles See my updated comment, what you said makes sense for what I am seeing but not for @NathanTaylor ?
 
3:16 AM
@mootinator it means that you don't need a reason to blame Marc...
 
@TimStone you were right. Have a waffle ;-)
 
@rchern Ahhh, thanks.
 
Hooray!
 
11 mins ago, by Tim Stone
@TheUnhandledException Yep, the count didn't go up for the Talkative badge I received on MSO or SO
 
@TheUnhandledException If you keep handing out waffles, will @waffles become @waffle? And then if you hand out one more....! |:
 
3:17 AM
I like coming back to chat only to find I was right about something.
 
(:)
 
@TimStone must...resist...commenting...
 
@rchern I think long before that happens you'd find I have only 1 rep ;-)
 
I don't know what way to smile anymore
4
 
3:17 AM
@rchern :p
 
@waffles this way! (:
 
@rchern That way for the meme... ;-)
 
Badge counts in flair being higher that expected in the flair will only happen if we revoke badges
 
@TheUnhandledException Extra imaginary +1 for FHM (freehand maths)
 
Haha thanks @Tim
@waffles Does that ever happen?
 
3:18 AM
we revoke badges in extreme conditions ... like a dupe badge is assigned and so on
 
:289858 Self-referential reply!
 
I revoked a bunch of dupe "autobiographers" a few months ago
 
nice try.
 
Hi
 
@mootinator @drachenstern beat you to that one earlier I believe :P
 
3:19 AM
Wow, such loud conversation here.
 
@waffles Ahhh, OK
 
@TimStone I was hoping it would break the internet and I wouldn't have to deal with the lack of originality.
 
Ah, tough break then. Better luck next time.
 
Happy Woot-Off everyone.
 
@Moshe We tried to keep @TimStone quiet, but you know how hard he is to control.
 
3:20 AM
@rchern - heh
 
@rchern Almost as hard to control as you are... almost ;-)
 
pfffft
 
Zing. ;)
 
@TheUnhandledException, any other Jewish folks, Happy Hannukah.
 
high-fives @TheUnhandledException
 
3:21 AM
(he lacks plumbing-clogging powers)
@Moshe Likewise!
 
@TheUnhandledException - Thanks. Finally, an excuse to spend on a woot off.
 
This is true. While my commentary is unnecessarily abundant, my ability to go into people's homes and break their kitchen appliances has not matured to a level where it'd be effective.
 
I almost got the iPod external battery. Decided against.
 
Ugh don't remind me. Hanukkah being early this year caught me totally unprepared.
 
3:22 AM
@TimStone HAHAHA
 
@TimStone ...oy.
 
@rchern Me too, but don't tell @Moshe ;-)
 
@TimStone - It's a good thing O'reilly's "Head First" series's Java toasters aren't reality.
 
@TheUnhandledException How much is my silence worth to you?
 
@TheUnhandledException you have waffles but no coffeee?
 
3:22 AM
@TheUnhandledException, @rchern - Honestly, I ran out and got a menorah last night a few hours before lighting time.
 
@Moshe Hah ;)
 
@TimStone and it didn't break anything either
 
@rchern Hey, I didn't bring it up. :P
 
@drachenstern I know, it's tragic!
 
is backreading the convos ... sorry for lameduck jokes ;) ... it's all doubleplusgood I'm sure
 
3:23 AM
@drachenstern It did kind of, I meant to mention it when you did it...when you hover, the action icons on the right hand side had the wrong background colour. ;)
 
Is it bad I just read "O'reilly's" as "Oy Riley"?
6
 
LOL
I'm gonna go with yes.
 
@TheUnhandledException - Go have yourself a doughnut.
 
@TheUnhandledException Well, you may have finally taken the plunge off the deep end.
 
@TimStone Yeah I did that years ago :-)
 
3:24 AM
@TimStone We all have, or else we wouldn't be programmers. :-)
 
@TheUnhandledException As long as you didn't impulsively try to star it as a result.
 
I hate comcast.
With the passion of a thousand fiery suns.
 
@GeorgeStocker - How about a thousand fiery menorahs?
 
Oh, and it's really hard to spell fiery correctly. Sometimes I spell it firey.
 
Hating your isp is pretty much standard I think. ):
 
3:25 AM
@Moshe Wrong George ;)
 
Because ever since their #DC outage on Sunday, I've been having dropped packets, extra latency, and slower than normal speed.
 
Oops. i thought I fixed that
 
<3 Comcast.
 
@TimStone did they really? I'll have to recreate that one just to verify ...
 
@Fosco That's because you live in Comcast Country ;)
 
3:26 AM
@GeorgeStocker Who doesn't?
 
@drachenstern Serious chat-breaking problem, I know.
 
58 secs ago, by drachenstern
:289916 repro bug?
 
I've had my neighborhood descended upon by Verizon's military of recruiters.
 
Reset my modem.
 
oh wait, I can't see my own buttons ... /facepalm
@TimStone you do it!
 
3:26 AM
And not to mention I've spent the last three days on their chat with their 'support' and all three have tried to do the same thing.
 
@TimStone Through the magic of chat...I'll reply to myself.
 
@GeorgeStocker - Have you tried "gethuman.com"?
 
Reset my modem.
 
@drachenstern You think that's bad, I've misplaced an entire datagrid!
 
@TimStone I see now ... how interesting
 
3:27 AM
No, I'm talking actual online chat.
 
who do we complain to about chat bugs?
 
@GeorgeStocker - Perhaps a phone call will yield better results?
 
@drachenstern balpha
 
@TheUnhandledException well I could help you look for it but I would have to charge ;) ...
@balpha @balpha where are you ATTTTTTTTTTT ? :p
 
@drachenstern I'm sure it's somewhere in my head ;-)
 
3:28 AM
Either I'm talking to a chatterbot, or just someone reading from a script.
 
@drachenstern @mootinator there's self referentialness for you ;)
 
@GeorgeStocker The effectiveness of any interaction with Comcast is usually dependent on the time of day at which you call, mixed in with a few parts blind luck.
 
@GeorgeStocker or a chatterbot reading from a script! Or @PopularDemand
 
@drachenstern Hah!
 
3:29 AM
@Tim can I borrow some blind luck?
 
@GeorgeStocker - gethuman.com/search/…
 
@drachenstern It's not actually a chat bug since you shouldn't be able to reply to yourself in the first place.
 
@TheUnhandledException ):
 
@GeorgeStocker To ease your frustration, you're welcome to borrow as much of mine as you'd like, heh.
 
ugh, too expensive, $129 camera on woot.
12MP though
 
3:29 AM
@rchern There. I fixed that
 
@Moshe I'm replying to myself
odd
 
@mootinator shame it doesn't nest tho ;)
 
\o/
 
@TimStone so?
 
@rchern what is that thing you've drawn?
 
3:30 AM
@drachenstern Damn these programmers and their limiting our ability to be annoying.

@drachenstern Functionality that the site doesn't give you access to but is misused with unexpected results anyway is never considered a bug. ;)
 
Anyone remeber @YiJiang's javascript program to post laughs to chat?
 
Does anyone else think that Jimmy Wales looks like a hobo with that beard? upload.wikimedia.org/centralnotice/images/…

@GeorgeStocker ROFLMAO
 
@GeorgeStocker Nah.
 
3:31 AM
If you replace 'money' with alcohol, it'd sell it for me.
 
@TimStone [status-bydesign] then is it?
 
@GeorgeStocker I was hoping that they'd finally run out of different pictures of his face to show in that banner....which they did, swapping over to random Wikipedia authors instead.
 
@GeorgeStocker did you see the "ceiling jimmy is watching you"?
 
@drachenstern - Everything is [status-bydesign] on SO.
@TimStone - It's a good thing I'm not a Wikipedia author. My photo has no face.
 
@Moshe It's C#'s fault!
 
3:32 AM
@drachenstern no, I didn't.
 
@mootinator - ?
 
@radp, i.imgur.com/jLq8o.png - something tells me this isn't right...
 
Yea; they didn't pick models either.
Just sayin'.
 
Oh the [status-bydesign] thing
 
3:32 AM
@Moshe The WOB told me.
 
@Moshe Yeah, I'm not sure that would bring in a lot of donations...decapitated bodies and what not.
@drachenstern Hahah, wtf.
 
@drachenstern Rofl
 
idk, a buddy of mine fb'd it the other day
 
@TimStone - funerals are expensive.
 
That's great @drachenstern
 
3:33 AM
@rchern Now you're getting double accepts too, good stuff. :P
 
he said he was getting tired of seeing the face ... I'm sure that's attrib to someone else tho
 
@drachenstern I think it's a parody of "Ceiling cat is watching you fap" lolcat
 
Oddly, I think the original was not touched, except for cropping. That face doesn't seem changed. Probably just transposed the sheetrock.
 
@TheUnhandledException oh I'm quite certain it came from reddit
 
President Obama made a Photoshop remark tonight at his Hannukah address at the White Wouse.
 
3:34 AM
knowing my buddy and all
 
Nov 23 at 15:54, by balpha
put this in your browser's address bar on the chat page (or anywhere that has jQuery):
 
I should really make it a point to pick up another 102 points on SO
 
Nov 23 at 15:54, by balpha
javascript:var s=document.createElement("script");s.type="text/javascript";s.src="http://thingadongdong.com/jw/jw.js";document.body.appendChild(s);
 
@drachenstern I should really make a point of picking up another 8800 or so points on SO.
I think WoW is about to interfere with that ever happening.
 
3:36 AM
@mootinator lol
 
He seems to have a swollen lip, so at the end of his address he reassured everyone that the press photos will be photoshopped.
 
I just want to clear 3k before a recalc ;)
 
When is a recalc?
I lost 2K in the last one, or something like that.
 
Whenever I press the big red button.
 
@TimStone - Really now?
"That was easy"?
Woot selling a star trek model for seven bucks.
Sold!
 
3:38 AM
@Moshe No, the other big red button: "That really sucked"
 
My best questions were closed & deleted though :(
 
Hey, do folks in Texas have the best shot at Woot-off goods, since they live right there?
Or are the servers elsewhere?
 
@TheUnhandledException I still have nothing to lose from a recalc, so. :P
 
@mootinator that sucks
 
Aww, it's over. Screaming Monkey with woot cape.
Not cool.
 
3:39 AM
I would probably go up since I deleted some downvoted answers after badges ;) (ok, so I only needed one, whatever)
 
@TimStone Yeah the only time I ever lost was the Great Rep Recalc when questions went from +10 to +5
 
@drachenstern Not really. I'm just being a primadonna about my joke question on cooking.
 
@TheUnhandledException - That's when I lost too.
 
oh lol
 
I'm afraid they're going to go from whatever they are now to zero.
 
3:40 AM
food, i need food, time to go lurk in the kitchen
well? how do you guys like hanging out in my kitchen? Boy am I glad you all fit in here. doesn't feel crowded at all
 
I like it better when there's food being served, but otherwise I'm OK.
 
@drachenstern I need a drink.
 
and no, I'm not going to any of ya'lls bathroom with ya'll, you can just leave me in the kitchen ;)
@mootinator what'll ya have?
 
@drachenstern I'll take a double rye and Coke.
 
The coke I have but not the rye
settle for a double coke will ya?
 
3:43 AM
Sure, why not.
 
sadly with the upcoming move and the desire to have less stuff, I haz no alcohols
I'm certain that will change in about six weeks time, but for now ... meh
 
@drachenstern I have a large assortment of ends, mostly.
 
all I want is a few bottles of nice reds

Q: Implement the <spoiler> tag

radpPlease consider implementing the request for some sort of a spoiler markdown using the following syntax: why did we trust <spoiler>rchern</spoiler> ? WHY OH GOD WHY? <spoiler> The cake is a lie. </spoiler> I propose <spoiler> over the modified blockquote syntax &...

@radp: >_<
 
You didn't see that before? :P
 
3:47 AM
no
 
Ah..
 
>! The end boss in minecraft is super cool.
 
@drachenstern I always think of that a few seconds too late.
 
@mootinator me too normally, till someone else does it

A: Implement the <spoiler> tag

Jeff AtwoodThis has been implemented in spirit, but as the >! syntax instead. We really don't want to be in the business of making up new HTML tags; it's already confusing enough mixing HTML with Markdown arbitrarily. The syntax is >! Spoiler text! Examples Spoiler text! This is not yet re...

I like how as it got posted in here, it got answered over there
 
3:53 AM
@drachenstern I think she noticed it because it got answered. ;)
 
aye
 
@TimStone that's what I said ... as she posted it here he answered it there
it was like a simul thing
not when she saw it, but when she hit share, he hit answer
more or less
 
scratches head
 
I didn't exactly get out my stopwatch ya know ;) :p
answered 8 minutes ago, same as (roughly) her link above
 
@drachenstern no.
 
3:55 AM
can I not count?
 
The only reason I saw the question is because it got bumped to the top of the recent activity listing by Jeff's answer.
 
oh ... then I can't count
55 - 46 = 9
and it is 11 since the post
ok, there you go then
for the bonus round, who can explain why I have a minor in Mathematics?
 
@drachenstern Because you had the sense about you to register for it, unlike me?
 
@TimStone posh, it was one extra class over my degree ;)
 
Can anyone explain why I never finished my 3 year degree in Drama, even though it was only another two classes over my degree ;)
 
3:58 AM
so for dinner tonight, I have prepared a lovely creamed potato with garlic, a bit of cubed carrots, some bite sized green beans and some excellently seasoned roast beef with a nice rich brown gravy ... who's joining me?
 
I qualified for it, I just never filled out the paperwork apparently (mainly because when I learned that I had to it was supposedly too late to do so, which ended up being untrue)...so no dice on that one.
 
Oh right, I remember now.
 
@mootinator because programming is more fun?
 
@drachenstern No, it was because even though it was only two more classes you had to do 6 years to get a 3 and 4 year degree.
 
I like how my bringing everyone into the kitchen made everyone else get quiet :p
so @TimStone did you ever figure out about the timesheet? I say training and peer review
 
3:59 AM
I only had 5.
 
@mootinator that's bumpkiss
 
@drachenstern We were marveling over the masterful meal you had prepared.
I logged over 200 hours last month, so I think I'm good on my timesheet. :P
 
@TimStone and you all sat there so quietly watching me, I felt like I was on one of Ramsay's shows
 
Who did you kick out of the kitchen?
 
@TimStone better you than me then ;) ... i don't care how many hours over 8 I put in, I still only have 8 per day most days ... I gotta fix that
@TimStone egads no, I'm trying to not get kicked out
 
4:01 AM
@drachenstern I was disappointed with his choice of who to kick off Hell's Kitchen this week.
 
waiting for next week, see if he finally sends trevor home
@mootinator I was too
and i figure if people haven't seen it oh well ;)
now is the time to ask nicely
I would naturally >! block it but noooo
 
Well I am off for the night. Have a good one guys!
 
If I hear the word "wikileaks" one more time I'm going to be forced to steal the intellectual property of @rchern again.
 
Alright Josh, you too
 
@TheUnhandledException You too!
 
4:04 AM
@TheUnhandledException Knight
 
I'm not sure why I started, so I'm done. :P
 
Erm, what happened when I wasn't looking?
 
I like how it keeps the reference to the message the deleted message was in reply to.
 
spoilsport :p
@mootinator yeah I noticed that earlier today
 
@mootinator Ah, that looks like it is a bug.
 
4:08 AM
and you can still edit deleted messages
 
To Chat Feedback!
 
they just stay deleted
 
@rchern Nothing.
 
@TimStone I don't believe you.
 
@rchern You should, because that's actually what happened. It was intentionally a chain of nothing. :P
 
4:09 AM
I wouldn't believe him either
It was a chain of redacted nothings!
 
Well, I should go turn in.
I have to actually wake up before work tomorrow.
 
yeah my alarm is set for 5am so I'm off after I eat
 
Fun stuff, g'night
 
@TheUnhandledException No.
 
night @mootinator
 
4:15 AM
I apparently got [talkative] on SO too. I don't even remember talking there
 
@Chacha102 Aw, man! :-(
 
sells for $31 new with a buyback price of $16... published in 2004... which means there's a really healthy market for used copies on amazon
 
@MichaelMrozek You got that for talking about SO chat so much in here
 
@TheUnhandledException Sophisticated algorithm they have going on
 
@Chacha102 Can I buy room ownership? Maybe a 500-rep bounty? ;-)
 
4:16 AM
I think I deserve the badge on AU too then
 
@MichaelMrozek did you see my numbskull Unix question? I felt totally sheepish, I wanted to delete the question, LOL
(why am I still here, i was supposed to be sleeping!)
 
@TheUnhandledException I was going to ask you the same thing :P
 
@TimStone @Chacha102 's "no" pinged my XMPP client and drew me back in, LOL. This is why I dream about chat, too much chatting before bed
 
Ah ha, heheh
 
@TheUnhandledException I hadn't seen the answer until now. Nice :)
 
4:20 AM
@MichaelMrozek Should I delete it? It was totally my fault, wrong authorized_keys2 file, LOL
 
Meh; people who do stuff like that on SO usually leave them
 
I just can't bear top part with my +5... er, +15 now, wth? You must have taken pity on me ;-)
 
It was the right answer :). Or so I'm told
 
LOL. It was :-)
OK. It stays then. And I am going to bed for real this time. A sad boy because @Chacha102 has denied me :'(
sniff Goodnight everyone!
 
remember that undeleted questions are searchable later ...
 
4:23 AM
He does that
 
night josh again
 
G'night
 
4:47 AM
would this question be better suited to CSTheory?

Q: Is message priority inherently unimportant in message queue systems?

scompt.comIt seems like most of the messaging systems I've looked at have basic, if any, support for priority message queues. For example, the AMQP only specifies a minimum of 2 priorities. RabbitMQ, an AMQP implementation, doesn't support any priorities. ActiveMQ will be getting support for 10 message pri...

 
4:59 AM
It got quiet.
 
@rchern Sorry, I went to shower, which is one of the places chat doesn't go with me.
@drachenstern Hm..
 
My internet was down for a while, so I decided to build a Spanish Vocabulary quiz app
Javascript
 
@TimStone we could've kept dinging you ;)
 
This is true
 
I love Fringe :D (not quite as much as Heroes but ok)
 
5:05 AM
@TimStone Heh.
 
And now, coffee time.
 
I should think you two would be able to solve this one quickly enough ... stackoverflow.com/questions/3523983/…
 
la la la
 
lol, ignoring it are you? :p
oh hey, I didn't notice you actually did update your screen name
 
I just did.
 
5:11 AM
durn, I preferred the other way ...
 
gasps
 
Though I haven't yet copied it to the other sites.
 
Damn other Tims making me put my last name. shakes head
 
I'm gonna have to sleep on this one, I think I feel betrayed slightly ...
(;
 
betrayed?
 
5:13 AM
lol, idk ... was trying to be funny and yet surreal
something goofy
@TimStone not leaving just yet
 
teehees for good measure
Ah, in that case..
 
There are 14 users with a display name of Rebecca on SO. |:
 
Do they visit chat, is the real question?
 
how many with a displayname of rchern?
@TimStone do they visit chat on MSO?
 
She lurks on chat.SE/SO too, so they're all fair game. :P
 
5:18 AM
mm
 
5:40 AM
Hmm, I wonder if I can get all of these remaining changes done tonight...Oh, ambition.
 
I'll just be over here...with my eyes closed...good luck with that.
 
Heheh, thanks. ;)
 
@TimStone LOL I was wondering about that.
Oh, it's best not to talk to yourself, or at least, not to let anyone else notice. :)
 
Hah :P
 
@drachenstern My brain isn't in SO mode at the moment, but I'll try to remember to have an opinion on those two tomorrow, heh.
 
lol, I figure putting them with "close?" let's me find them faster later
 
@drachenstern Or, you could just bookmark them. ;)
 
@GeorgeMarian what would be the fun in that?
 
Heh, fair enough.
 
5:58 AM
here at least I can share with others and they could concievably close them before I get to 3k
or whatever the close threshold is
ok, time for closing the eyes, see ya'll tomorrow
 
g'night
 
G'night
