I've recently been editing out things such as "hope this helps" and "good luck" from posts and was wondering if that crosses the imaginary line that seems to not exist in the scattered mess of questions on things that should be removed from posts.
So, let's build a neat community wiki with a lis...
Ok so that means If I open the list of questions from the review option and if I click on any of the question to review and if edit that question then the count will change is it ?
@TimStone Regarding the elections page, it's been 24 hours. I'm not sure why @RebeccaChernoff didn't work. Is she still on vacation? Should we call @Shog9 or @balpha instead
The time to send a packet to a remote host is half the time reported by ping, which measures a round trip time.
The display I was measuring was a Sony HMZ-T1 head mounted display connected to a PC.
To measure display latency, I have a small program that sits in a spin loop polling a game contro...
@TimStone How many reviews someone has done from /review is what I was thinking (and how many actioned, like the small table on the right side of the review page).
But I wasn't thinking about the fact that you can't see that about other users normally, only yourself. So I guess that makes sense.
I've seen one before, but it was a garish, high-contrast monster of blue and bright red. This one kind of sneaks up on you if you're not really paying attention.
Examples:
Q&A and meta (though they functional are different, the difference to my knowledge is minor)
Stack Overflow Careers (never had an account, but assume the workflow is of it's own)
SE Data Explorer
SE Chat
Area 51
SE blog (likely just a customization of Wordpress)
APIs
Ecommerce (S...
Although Grace Note is currently working for Stack Exchange, it predates Stack Exchange, and therefore was produced by an entity other than Stack Exchange.
By the way, I'm mildly curious where you fall with respect to my comment under this answer, @everyoneWhoHasBeenInTheTavernMoreThanTwice.
@YiJiangsProble_ yeah it's a bit of a headache that one
I was trying to keep the bug separated between kernel releases I knew I could support quickly and more distant ones, but they all got merged by others so I gave up on that
but I really just maintain it in Debian and then it gets auto-pulled into Ubuntu
"Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart" Doesn't sound like anything I need. I don't know, did I accidentally install this when I was playing around with MPI and parallel computing stuff?
@TimStone I fixed elections.se looks like it didn't like when we had to kill off a whole generation of hampsters and replace them with a new stronger breed
Initialization complete. Now up in ur tubez, fetching ur updatez.

Thanks! We have some pending updates that should make the process a little more reliable in the future too, I hope. The new process will probably also be strongly against hamster genocide though, as a matter of principle.
@Zypher You should change your architecture to use a larger number of narrower pipes. That way, people wouldn't be able to send you requests carried by anything larger than hamsters in the first place.
@TimStone What are you babbling about? SATA is a hard disk thingy of some sort. I just want them to support Hamster-Tier Tunnels and Pipes.

I can only assume they were using Hamster-Tier Tunnels and Pipes, Superset in an attempt to be forward-compatible, support armored hamsters or some other nonsense.
Thanks @awoodland, @mootinator, and @YiJiangsProble for your input on my monitor issues yesterday =) I'm going to attempt to fix it this weekend (if I can borrow my friend's soldering iron).
And anyone else I missed or forgot about.
(I meant to do that yesterday, but I got rather busy)
The reputation report now has a clearer description:
rep cap was reached via rep from upvotes *only* on 13 days
earned at least 200 reputation on 11 days
So "rep cap was reached" means exactly what it says, you actually capped.
The second line now accurately indicates "200+" rep on those day...
@PopularDemand: Well, that appears to show that it was in fact changed, but it isn't really clearly stated that a change occurred or why. A user who wasn't familiar with the old ways would read that post like it was always that way.
edit: actually, you're right.
The recent global rep recalc affected this badge, because it "unlocked" reputation above the cap for accepted answers.
accepted answers and bounties were only partially immune to the rep cap before depending on the time of day you earned them, but they are f...
Suggested edit: "WHAT THE HECK?!? IS STACKOVERFLOW BROKEN?!? I AM EDITTING THE POST OF A COMPLETE STRANGER. WHY THE HELL CAN I DO THIS?!? I AM NOT AN ADMINISTRATOR - SF]" Associated edit comment: "I am confused and am testing if I can really edit strangers' posts... If I really can, I won't do so again. I'm not sure why I have an option to do this." (source)
So, I could reject it and the guy will think SO is broken, or I could approve it, but that would make me a terrible person.
Perhaps it's performance art. I found it to be amusing. Or perhaps he was so dazzled by the fact that he gained access to an editor window that he had everything-else-on-the-screen blindness.
@TimStone Should have put something like "This attempt at abusing the system has been recorded and appropriate action will be taken. Be afraid. Be very afraid."
I think this post would have been insta-closed if it had been posted by a low-rep user. It's seems like people are more hesitant to cast a close vote on a higher-rep user's questions.
At least that's my perception. I feel like I've seen that many times, but this is the only example I can find now.
I really think if a brand new, 1 rep user posted that question, it would have been downvoted to oblivion and closed (I guess depending somewhat on the time of day and tags).
Usually after I downvote or vote to close, I look at the author's user card. In some cases, that leads to me thinking "oh, well, no wonder." A few of those cases apply to >10k and even >20k rep users. I don't remember names -- and wouldn't share them if I did -- but I know their avatars when I see them.
I've definitely felt that way a couple times as well about a high rep user. I can't remember who it is either now, but I imagine it's someone in the asp.net tag.
(because that's pretty much where I spend all my time on SO)
Hmm, strange. I had two downvotes earlier today, got another upvote that got me 4 points to the repcap, was at 25956, +245 for the day. Later one of the downvotes was removed, now the profile says 25954 rep, but +247 for the day. (/reputation gets it correct to 25956, +245.) Is that a bug report, or do I just trigger a recalc and forget it?
I HAVE A DAS KEYBOARD PLUGGED INTO A THINKPAD RUNNING LINUX. FOR SOME REASON, SOMETIMES UBUNTU REQUIRES ME TO RE-RUN XMODMAP WHEN I UNLOCK MY SCREEN, WHICH SWAPS MY CAPS LOCK KEY WITH CONTROL, AS I DESIRE. THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN THAT I USUALLY LEAVE A TERMINAL WINDOW OPEN WHERE XMODMAP IS THE LAST...
The topic of web development is extremely broad, and since we also have the Webmasters.SE site, anything related to the general discussion of web development should be asked there instead. It seems that this tag just gets added onto questions which are about websites, when it really has no meanin...
