Hey, @TimStone neither yawned nor raged at Java today. Must have been a good day. Or he's been unconscious all day.
 
I have a friend visiting, so I had to clean up before she got here. :P
But have no fear, I have work to get caught up on tomorrow and I'm sure there'll be plenty of rage.
And yawning, since...you know...sleep is for the weak.
 
@TimStone Hahaha, that makes more sense.
I may join you in raging at Java soon. I plan to start playing around with Android development again this week.
 
Hahah, very nice. I'm hoping to get more done as far as Data Explorer/election site stuff goes too since I won't have to go into the office...although I suppose I shouldn't be a boring host either, heh.
 
Nice, I hope that goes smoothly (both the coding and the hosting).
 
Thanks! (fingers crossed :P)

The data was updated in an unusually timely fashion this time. I think it was right on the 30 day mark or so.
(If I'm remembering the dates correctly - I might just be crazy as hell)
 
Also brought down the site temporarily, I saw. Good stuff though, fresh data is best data.
 
Ha, I did not notice the outage.
 
Saw a Meta post about it earlier, was just relieved it wasn't my fault :P
 
Meta post, you say? Who does that? How rude. Also, I missed that one goes to look

A: What should one do when he feels he has asked a silly question?

LuciferDon't worry. There are other genuine users and moderators who take care of it by editing the question or closing the question (for e.g. this question). However, you can: edit your question. delete your question if it hasn't been answered. close your question by flagging for moderator attention ...

My answer was first with 12 voteups but i didnt get Enlightened badge, why ?
 
@Lucifer it's only just been accepted. not all badges get awarded the minute you're entitled to them
 
It was accepted 18 mins ago , i waited and then asked

Q: How do badges get awarded? By a service or on change?

SchotimeDo badges get calculated in real time, or do they get calculated by an external service? Does Stack Overflow use any external services to do things? E.g. maintenance, e-mailing, badge calculation?

 
I know Silver and Gold Badges takes time for querying
 
notice that the times (hover over '1h ago' ets) are all in clusters
 
8:28 AM
Yes, but it doesnt include minutes so till 1 hours all badges awarded are at 1 hour ago queue
 
You can hover over the "1 hr ago" part to get the exact timestamp...
 
Yes it is :)
 
@Lucifer: That badge can take up to an hour or more to get awarded. My last one I got on Meta was awarded an hour and 14 minutes after it was accepted.
 
ok
ok, got the badge :)
 
8:47 AM
@Lucifer congratulations

Hi guys. Quick question. When reviewing a tag-wiki edit I often see copied content from Wikipedia without a back link. I can't improve it but only reject it. Then it's often accepted anyway, because the content looks good and not everybody searches for copied content. Is there a way to notify other reviewers there might be a problem? Or do I really need to manually go back and improve the content later on?
 
@Bart No, you have to do it manually. I don't really see why we can't have an improve button for tag wikis, but, oh well
 
@TimYiJiang Mwah, thought so. Annoying though. An improve option for such easily inserted backlinks would be nice.

@AakashM: I think this question should get closed. It's not constructive question for SO. It can be well fit on programmers.se
@all: Please have look on this question. Please check if question can be reopened. I have edited question. This isn't duplicate of indicated question. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/138113/…
 
@SomnathMuluk I'm not convinced it is good for pse - it's still asking for a list of personal suggestions wherever it is
 
@Flexo: I have assumed asking suggestions about programming done in spare time. that's why I said it will be suitable for programmers. Otherwise it will not acceptable anywhere in community according to my knowledge of all SE sites.

So, I've been trying to be less NAA flag happy lately on link-only answers (commenting to explain why they're bad, instead).
And now this happens. RAWR.
 
what is NAA ?
 
Not an answer
 
and what is RAWR ? :)
 
Hahah. It means nothing in particular. Just an expression of frustration.
 
Short for RRRRAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRR
 
1:46 PM
Or joy. Or anger.
Depending on the context =P
 
Well, yes some people throw a google link search with out even know what it is, and then are argue from top.
and you can not add -1 because may this link help, but nether +1 because is not explain what it is and what is done there.
 
@TimYiJiang Haha, precisely!
@Aristos The downvote tooltip says "This answer is not useful." I'm pretty comfortable using downvotes on link-only answers.
 
yes... correct
I have downvote some with link only lately...
I do not even know what this 'nancy' is :)
 
Ha, me neither. I thought the question title was odd, which is why I clicked on it.
Then I got sucked into that answer. I should probably just calm down =)
 
I think I will call my next wild Dog "RAWR" :)
Rawr come here now... (sounds good), or, Rawr eat that person with link only answer.
 
2:12 PM
That's a great idea haha
 
I saw something like this the other day: "Hey your link isn't working" with the response, later, being. "It's working fine for me." The rebuttal was then, "it wasn't working for me earlier when I needed the answer"
 
Ah, the guy is affiliated with the "Nancy" project on GitHub that he linked to. Interesting.
@dash Haha, that's terrible.
 
I upvoted your comment because a brief summary, and the link to the site may be enough to help someone solve their immediate problem if they can't reach the other site.
 
Thanks. His most recent comment indicates to me that he's not going to change his mind. Oh well.
 
My first answer on SO was effectively a link. It got voted as the correct answer, but, a few weeks later BoltClock came along and edited it to include the relevant bit from the other site. It looked miles better and since then I've taken that as my benchmark for referencing external content.
 
2:31 PM
That's good. Few people actually learn from experiences like that.
 
hiya.
so, @jadarnel27..
 
What up L-Crumbles.
 
Tell me about how to deal with someone modding down stuff for vengence?
I voted a guy down... he found one of my answers from a month and a half ago and down-voted it.
 
There's actually not much you can do. There's an automated script that reverses "serial voting", but one vote is not enough to trip it.
 
I see.
sigh
 
2:35 PM
I know it's really annoying, but I'd just move on =/ Happened to me once, too.
 
Do you have enough privilege to see who actually cast down votes for a given answer?
 
No, no one can see that. Not even zee mods.
 
ok... well... then yeah... I guess there isn't much recourse, other than calling the person out on it, I suppose.
 
@LynnCrumbling Yeah. If it becomes habitual, and you have evidence / reason to believe that it's the same person, you can use a custom mod flag to report suspicious voting. They can see general patterns, and get the votes cancelled / user suspended if necessary.
 
It's pretty obvious he just found one my answers and downvoted it. He was last seen 16 minutes ago, and the month-and-a-half old question was down-voted 11 minutes ago.
But... yeah, I'll keep an eye out.
 
2:40 PM
@LynnCrumbling Also, this is relevant. It discusses "serial upvoting", but the same thing applies.
 
reading atm.
 
It's just sort of a useful explanation of how to report suspicious voting in a way that's useful to mods.
 
I'll keep this in mind.
Hah, maybe he'll go in and downvote on of my +1'd answers so that I finally get unsung hero
 
@TheCodeJunkie is quite correct, the whole point of linking to the answer is it's a very active and very fluid project - something he'd know being the main developer. He answered the question and it's incredibly obvious what the link is and where it goes. Perhaps certain people need to spend less time telling people they're doing it wrong, nitpicking and fixing typos and more time, you know, being useful and answering questions. Just a thought. — Steven Robbins 2 mins ago
Ouch. Perhaps I...approached that wrong somehow?
 
2:56 PM
I hate it when people just post links... and appending "maybe this will help" + link is really no different than just pasting a link.
 
@jadarnel27 don't sweat it, telling people they're doing it wrong is after all one of SO's primary raisons d'etre :)
I do like the confidence of "it would have a huge risk at turning old and out of date, while the actual wiki wont "
 
well, there's my $0.02.
 
@AakashM Yeah, that's good stuff right there =)
@LynnCrumbling Very nice. Perhaps you will not be met with hostility haha.
 
Well.. the general sentiment is that you shouldn't get dinged rep for being helpful, especially if the answer isn't wrong in any way... if it's useful and correct, but doesn't necessarily give you a solution, the answerer shouldn't incur a hit for adding to the knowledge base.
Like I said, I would have made it a comment.
 
@LynnCrumbling casperOne just converted it to a comment.
 
3:09 PM
But that's just me. I don't feel it's egregious that he posted it as an answer... more of a faux pas per se....
Jeebus .. english, french, and latin in one sentence.
@jadarnel27 Excellent. Now I can resume coding.

Q: Changing the edit limit for tag wikis

ACarterFollowing on from my previous post (which I admit was not very well thought out), I have decided to ask a better question. When too many of your tag wiki suggestions get rejected, you get banned for 7 days, which I think is harsh if you are editing in good faith, and just are not quite sure what...

Anybody have an opinion on this?
 
@ACarter I have an opinion on everything
> which I think is harsh if you are editing in good faith, and just are not quite sure what you are doing.
This is horrible.
 
How?
 
How can you NOT know what you're doing, but still be editing and submitting wiki requests?
You either know what you're doing, or you don't
If you don't, then why would you edit the wiki in the first place?
 
I sort of knew what I was doing, I just didn't quite know how to write a perfect wiki
 
4:39 PM
So ask on meta for help in writing it better.
That's what meta is for.
 
One of the comment given to improve (that I have now found) was to give a less basic description. I knew about tag wikis, just didn't know this guidline
But that's not the point. The point is that I should have been given a warning.
I couldn't find the reason why, I didn't even know it had been rejected.
 
@ACarter So you do realize that tag wikis are an advanced portion of the site, right?
And are intended for power-users, etc.
 
Why?
 
I mean the editing is for power-users
 
@ACarter If you go to edit a tag wiki, those guidelines are in the right-hand sidebar, AFAIK
 
4:46 PM
Wait, they opened the edits on that up to everyone didn't they?
 
Just becuase I'm relatively new too the site, why should I be discouraged from editing/whatever
 
@ACarter because you're obviously not reading the whole screen.
 
@jcolebrand suggested edits. Still gotta have some rep to approve them
 
@Shog9 aye, but I thought you couldn't get to that screen without X rep
 
It says what to include, but not how to include it; it doesn't say "don't be too basic" ect.

Jeff Atwood on March 23, 2011

In the spirit of our recent redesign of the users page, we felt it was time to enhance the tags page, too.

As you can see, the tags page now shows a bit more information about each tag, namely:

The first three lines of the tag wiki excerpt for the tag. The number of questions asked in that tag over the last two relevant time intervals — day, week, or month. These intervals are also clickable so you can zoom into recent questions with the tag.

The number of questions asked in that tag over the last two relevant time intervals — day, week, or month. These intervals are also clickable so you can zoom into recent questions with the tag. …

Jeff Atwood on August 01, 2010

Every question on Stack Overflow, or any other Stack Exchange site, must be tagged with at least one tag. Tags are simple keywords or labels that help categorize your question with other, similar questions.

It’s important that questions get tagged correctly, because that makes it easier for everyone to find the questions they’re interested in — and potentially answer them.

These tags are built by the community, in what is commonly known as a folksonomy. While we do a bit of pre-seeding when sites launch with a few dozen really obvious tags, most tags you see were created by ano …

and blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/01/… but that isn't helpful
 
Yes, but if you're a newish user, do you look there?
I know you should, but do you?
No.
Sorry, but that's what happens
 
Then why should you be given a warning when they put a link RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU?
They say "hey, please read this"
and you say "no, I'm too good for that"
How do they make you read that?
 
If I'd just been told the edits were rejected, I would have looked
 
If you read that, you would have been better informed.
@ACarter why would you look after they were rejected? Why not before?
 
I didn't know there were rejected for god's sake
I didn't know I was doing anything wrong
 
4:51 PM
@ACarter to be fair, that is what the new notification system is for.
 
@ACarter Newish users tend to get a lot of rejected suggested edits when they touch tag wikis. At least when I'm reviewing. It's... A learning experience.
 
You don't need an inbox that you're getting close to your limit, you just need to be gently reminded they were turned down at all
 
The alternative is forcing folks to wait 'til they have 20K rep on the site, which dramatically reduces the number of folks who can participate.

A: Decision on rejected edits should be displayed as a notification to the editor

Shog9I like this idea, but I also agree with Jeff's concerns that this is the wrong way to be using notifications. In particular, if we're notifying you of stuff that doesn't encourage you and that you can't do anything about, it's unlikely to have a positive effect. I think the right way to expose ...

^^^ that would help, I think
 
Shog, do refused tag wiki edits show up on the notification now?
 
(apart from probably just now) when did you last look at that post? I would reckon a while ago. You (probably) won't have looked, because you didn't need to, becuase you know what you're doing.
 
4:52 PM
@jcolebrand Nope
 
@Shog9 That question is brilliant
 
@Shog9 FR #1 needs to be done, it's not that much more code from what I can see.
Can we escalate that internally at all to have it be considered?
I like your suggestion too, but one of them needs to happen, preferably #1
@ACarter and there it is, I happen to know what I'm doing.
I've been here for three years. I've been reading meta for 2 and a bit
 
Nobody likes reading policies.
 
I just reproduced the mobile site favourite tag mixup bug
 
@jcolebrand Not wild about notifications simply because they lack context - the folks who need this the most are the ones diving in and editing multiple wikis. Caught up to a guy last week and warned him about it, but only after I'd had to reject a dozen of his suggestions.
 
4:55 PM
@Shog9 but if you get one for each rejection, why can't that link back to the suggested edit page to show the rejection reasons?
Then they can at least show up on meta whining
 
On Arqade. It highlighted ME3 and Skyrim questions
 
@jcolebrand Uh... Not the best outcome there
 
@Shog9 I concur, but we have to tell them before they can know there's a problem.
 
Even though they weren't my favourites
 
putting "17 suggested tag wiki edits have been rejected" is not as preferable as getting one per rejection
remember all the notif's for the election?
 
4:58 PM
Good point. 99 NOTIFICATIONS FOR EVERY REJECTED EDIT!
 
lol, that's not what I meant
I meant, one per rejected edit
I just meant, don't pile them up and count each one
 
If they were told, they (if they were anything like me) wouldn't get 17, becuase they would change.
 
@ACarter but why would you change?
What he and I are discussing doesn't involve an exact reason, just "we didn't accept it"
there's no context to the rejection, no explanation of how to make it better.
 
And that's what I'm getting at - if you jump into the editor and there's a warning right there, you can't exactly ignore it the way you can a notification. "Oh yeah, i do vaguely recall a little gray baloon... Probably was a badge or sumthin"
 
The way we can make it better is to give you links to read, on the page.
@Shog9 @ACarter wants to see something that tells him it got rejected, so he doesn't get a ban. I like your method too. I want both of them.
 
5:00 PM
@jcolebrand Why? Because I wanted to help. If I was trying to help and not actually helping, then I would either give up, or start helping properly. Being myself, it would be the latter.
 
However, @ACarter, when we give you a link, and you refuse to read it, we can't do much more, except let you get banned.
@ACarter please read the entire narrative before responding to the first comment in the chain. I gave my elaboration following that question.
 
I don't refuse to read it, I don't think I need to read it, becuase I don't know I'm doing anything wrong.
 
You get rejected, and don't know how to improve it.
@ACarter ahem, that's called "I refuse to read it"
 
It's not.
 
I won't argue semantics with you, but one of us is a moderator, and one of us is not.

5:01 PM
If I was told "You're doing something wrong. Have you read this post?" I would read the post.
 
What if we said "don't do it wrong, read this post first"?
One is proactive, the other is reactive
We prefer to to do things proactively around here, to make the network better to begin with. Reactive means the system doesn't work well enough to begin with.
 
New users don't read policies before editing, they just dig in.
 
Some people are able to jump into the concept of tag wikis without coaching, they don't need hand holding.
 
Perhaps you don't let them edit until they've read the policy
 
How do you verify they read the policy?
 
5:05 PM
Just so you know, @ACarter, the editing "ban" only lasts for a week at the most. There's no long-term rejection or deemphasis or even a mod-only mark on your account.
 
I don't know, make it very short, to the point, and don't let them edit if they haven't spent 30 seconds reading the page. Vandals/spammers would just do something else for 30 seconds, but good faith editors would proabably read it.
 
So that's not a solution.
I know you like it, and you thought about it real hard for less than 30 seconds, but that's a technical solution (can be easily overcome) to a human resources issues.
This needs to be a policy, not a technical gimmick. Stop thinking like a programmer, and start thinking like a behavioral psychologist.
How do you change human behavior, and make them read the links, or pay attention to the notifications that their edits have been rejected?
 
(I have to go)The point is this: If I had been told, I would not have been blocked, and the site could have been better off.
 
@ACarter Agree. Whether or not jco and I agree on the specifics, I think we're all convinced better (earlier) notification of a problem would be beneficial.
 
@ACarter Apparently the site would not have been better off, your edits got rejected, now the site will be better off.
@Shog9 Aye, and is there any way to escalate that request?
 
5:10 PM
@jcolebrand I haven't forgotten about it - I'll bring it up again (probably early next week).

Hey all
Is it "correct" etiquette to downvote because the OP rolled back your edit??
Took me a long time on mobile. Now I need to down vote and sign off. Unless you care to explain why it was bad? — Arjan 1 min ago
 
No, it's not correct etiquette to downvote because someone rolled back a change.
However, if you believe your change was substantially better, and that the OP rolled it back out of spite, flag it for a moderator and give that reason.
 
@jcolebrand Thank you. I just do not understand it
@jcolebrand I am the OP. I rolled it back.
 
Better, however, to re-edit it, and leave a comment stating that you think this edit is for the better.
Why do you believe the edit was substantially worse?
 
@jcolebrand It looked like gibberish
it added nothing.
 
5:22 PM
It looked like gibberish to you.
I think it added value, and I for one would prefer to see that on there.
 
(And no, the down vote would be for an incomplete question with an annoying "update" text!) — Arjan 39 secs ago
annoying update text?
wth
Downvotes mean disagree, not just bc I don't like the text
@jcolebrand I added an example to my question.
 
Downvotes mean "did not invest effort into making a better question" and using super massive text stating update that doesn't actually update the question is "did not invest effort into making a better question"
 
Well I fixed it.
The commenter just had a cat up his pants today, not sure what his deal is. Time to move on.
 
Actually, I think he achieved his intended goal
he made sure the question showed what the problem is and he made you edit your post effectively to demonstrate that. Sucks that it cost him a downvote for the day.
 
@jcolebrand Haha he can always take back his downvote :-P I did edit it
 
5:28 PM
Maybe next time you'll leave the edits of users on meta who have 10k more rep than you. That generally means they have a tad more experience.
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA if he comes back. You've already dissuaded him from trying to assist you.
You've actively said "I don't want your help, I don't want to be a better member of meta" and so he's going to remember that.
 
@jcolebrand haha I have much more than 10K rep on main SO, I know how stuff works, and just bc you have high rep, doesnt mean you know what you are doing.
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA I don't care. Quit being a cocky spoiled child.
On meta, where you posted, where you're asking how the site works, rep does mean something.
 
@jcolebrand Only my wife can call me that ^_^
 
You've seen people get their asses handed to them in downvotes on meta
You know that rep matters on meta
So when someone with 10 or 20 or 70 thousand more rep than you tries to edit your post on meta, you let them edit your post.
 
@jcolebrand ehhhhh if that is true I should have over 10K rep on meta already the # of bounties ive given out.
sorry almost 10K rep ^_^
 
5:30 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA then quit giving out bounties. Bounties are a way of saying "I'm not so sure I'm doing the right thing" when you give out 4k worth
When you give out 20k worth of bounties that's a little more "I'm just paying things back"
if you had 12k and that was after giving away 4k in bounties, I would see it differently, but I'm just one asshole with an opinion
 
I dont think rep counts for much on Meta.
That is just my opinion.
 
So anyways, I think his edit was substantive, yours was not, and you got called out for it.
Use comments next time, that's what they're for. Understand the edit that was made.
 
I don't care if you disagree with me.
I'm telling you as a mod, if it were put to me to decide on my site, I would've sided with him.
 
@jcolebrand In my experience‌​, there is little point in arguing with the person with whom you're arguing.
Unfortunately.

Noticed in Chrome for iOS dev FAQ: What are the differences between UIWebView and Safari? Mobile Safari uses the Nitro JS engine, which is often faster than the one in the UIWebView. UIWebView scrolling may appear slower, since it renders on the main thread, while Mobile Safari renders in a background thread. There are other differences, some of which are described in this StackOverflow question.

I'm about to head to bed
But one question to those in the U.S
I'm looking to travel the country some time this autumn. I may be taking an iPad with me.
Do any pre-paid 3G plans exist in the states? If so, would anybody have a recommendation?
I'm looking for something that I pay a couple of bucks for per day, or a couple of cents per hour, with a reasonable traffic limit...
No idea whether anything like that exists. I'm not looking to be online all the time, not at all, just to check mails in the evening without having to find a wi-fi hotspot first.

@DiscountGucciHandbags - prepaidwithdata.wikia.com/wiki/USA may be of some use - a colleague used the advice from it recently when embarking upon a trip to the US with an iPad
I believe he bought the 25$ 1 Month 1.5GB deal
from T-Mobile

If I post on another site and my question goes unanswered due to lack of interest or exposure, is it okay to repost on SO? It is on topic.
