cv-broad stackoverflow.com/questions/26831279/…

@JasonC is it? The answer doesn't seem too big

nor low quality

@JanDvorak "The" answer? Or one of the two among infinite current possible answers posted?

Infinitely many answers can be posted to any question

yep, with a change in variable names

This part of the close reason is aimed against big list questions. This isn't a big list question.

"name every possible algorithm that ..." would be a big-list

@JanDvorak "pls gimme the codez" is also too broad, that's discussed in "Let's bring the minimal understanding cv reason back" meta thread

'cuz explanation due to lack of proper demonstration of use case and problem -> any arbitrarily lengthed explanation is needed -> too broad

@Unihedron No. The point is not every gimme teh codez is too broad

Isn't the question potentially useful for googlers?

"HERE"?

@JanDvorak Nothing about "I'm looking for a way to convert between arbitrary bases in Scala, preferably in an efficient way ... I'd like to do it in a functional/scala way. I'm also happy to use a Java library as long as it really does have a method close to the above signature." isn't too broad, no matter how you look at it.

He did demonstrate his level of knowledge

by the same through @Jan, wouldn't be any way to make money fast using programing be useful for googlers?

SPAM? stackoverflow.com/a/26842717/3041194

@Braiam that would be spam

And if you don't like "too broad", then the "please provide a self-contained example of your problem" may suit better.

@cVplZ Recommend flag.

@cVplZ I believe so

@JasonC it's not a debugging question

@JasonC would posting asker's code make it a better question?

@JanDvorak Nobody will hold it against you if you vote to reopen.

@cVplZ blames question

@JanDvorak I don't think that's going to happen. They self-answered it already.

@cVplZ the question needs cv too

@Unihedron Also, it would turn the question into off-topic (plz debug my working code = code-review)

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: ADDING EXTERNAL SERVLET JAR FILES STILL SHOWING ERROR by Gokul Krishnan on stackoverflow.com

^ ???

needs CPR

@Braiam the question seems too broad, not rec-format

@JanDvorak more context?

@Braiam [edit approved]

@SmokeDetector edited

@Braiam the one with spam underneath

@JanDvorak yeah, but how to relate "blames question" to "the question seems too broad, not rec-format"?

@Braiam look at the closevotes there

@JanDvorak mmm? +28/-1?

@JanDvorak look at my reputation on SO ×_×

@Braiam whore more ;-)

the API shows the amount of close/reopen votes right?

@Braiam At least SEDE does

3 close votes right? stackoverflow.com/q/26844740/792066

@Braiam I can see two

@Braiam stackoverflow.com/posts/26844740/revisions

1 cv pls stackoverflow.com/q/1680949/3622940

fwiw

ahmad has a question

upvoted but not a close reason IMO

Lol oh man

At times like these I appreciate the ability to downvote without comments. The asker's thought processes escape me. I can't comment-answer them even if I wanted to.

@Unihedron Lol what

Hmm?

Oh, I forgot to actually look for the duplicate. I did see one around somewhere in the past.

That's awesome

@Unihedron well, he's asking to just know the reputation of the voter, make sure it's a dup of that

He has...lots of patience to ask the same thing over and over again :/

inb4 visit to the tavern

I better get my fire suit.

@InfiniteRecursion I don't understand "inb4", can you expand that to a real sentence?

@JasonC in before (ahmad takes a) visit to the tavern

@Unihedron I still don't understand. In what before Ahmad visits the tavern?

Which means that you expect something to happen, and say that, before it actually happens.

in before. Yeah, like that.

in this particular case we don't want it...

Oh wait wait, you actually meant to say "I bet Ahmad will be visiting the tavern soon".

No...

@JasonC it can be implied, but no

The electricity is running out. -> inb4 internet dies

No, it's a pre-emptive prediction

^ By the way.

@JasonC feature-request if (message.content instanceof JavaCode) ban();

inb4 inb4-ban

inb4 bart

dammit!

So slow.

inb4 bart barting himself

inb4 Bart gets stars

inb4 bart charming rene

inb4 infinite effect

inb4 star troll

inb4 regex replacement correcting Braiam's sentence

inb4 The longer Ahmad goes without coming to the tavern, the snottier the original inb4 gets.

inb4 visits to the tavern crashing train

inb4 all inb4's get obsolete

inb4 we ignore and continue train

inb4 SmokeDetector will break the train

inb4 time to leave..

inb4 see you

inb4 Jan finds spam before smokey

inb4 bye train going parallel with inb4 train

Hey, unrelated, how do you guys feel about people who say "CALLED IT!" all the time in real life?

inb5 because inb4 chain wrecked

@JasonC That's why I hate dealing with real people.

inb5 uni enjoys new train

inb42 inb4 of life

inb5 inf joins uni

inb5 shadow uses dupehammer

@Unihedron And "inb4" is clearly better than "called it".

who said shadow?

I support inb5 completely.

inb5 spammers are sleeping

inb5 can be "in waaaaay after".

inb5 ahmad gets added to the wheel of blame

inb5 We need a wheel of blame.

Whoa

Wheel of blame gets two mentions at the same time in a sea of wheel-of-blame-lessness.

inb5 it's Nick Craver's fault

inb5 achievement get: wheel from nothing

special icecream this time!! :D

ITS FUNNY CAUSE IT LOOKS LIEK BOOBS

@JasonC haha :D

it's funny cause... it didn't load

@Unihedron hosted on imgur this time

@ShadowWizard loaded for me this time.:D

yay!

yay!

@ShadowWizard No, I don't need a spoon for that...

inb6 previous train gets wrecked

Hi

Oh, you came! Hello!

Yes and like always compaining!

*complaining

There he is.

Spell checker.

Votes are anonymous @Ahmad. Thanks and have a nice day.

@SilentKiller Yes, but you know I am here with add-on disabled.

@JasonC You're so quick to it, you should let them talk first. :P

@Unihedron You should compliment me on taking responsibility for my shitty comment instead of hiding it behind an "inb4".

@SilentKiller I use a filtering add-on for the chat, and to break it should disable add-ons

@Ahmad add-on for spell ?

@JasonC Who said they shouldn't I just asked a possibility, which doesn't necessarily contradict anonymity

@SilentKiller Yes for spell, but now I notices it doesn't need addon

@Ahmad hahaha. this room already have many Spell checkers. don't need add on.

@ShadowWizard and My question is not duplicated of the one @JasonC linked.

@Ahmad Adding metadata to the votes table reveals identities. It does. It does. It does. It does. It does. CODE DEMO It does. Goodbye.

I have Fireball spell

Jan slepping

@Jan !!/alive?

!!/alive,smokey?

@Unihedron ... did I miss something?

If you need a good spell checker: Role-playing Games

@Unihedron umm...

@Unihedron you are too huryy, how just an age does?

@Ahmad IT DOES. IT DOES. CODE DEMO It does.

!!/alive?

@ShadowWizard Of course

@jadarnel27 ಠ_ಠ

@jadarnel27 Lol

@Ahmad it doesn't lead back to specific users, but does tell you about the voting behaviour of age groups. Which gives up a level of anonymity.

@Ahmad Only an age probably doesn't on Stack Overflow, but it does on smaller sites. And it doesn't make the votes entirely anonymous because a part of the identity is revealed.

but I had 5 downvotes just to asking a possiblity

You mean +1/-6?

Who upvoted that?

Dunno.

@Ahmad Why are we repeating ourselves in chat when the question has already been answered? Also, why are we explaining basic principals of privacy to you? What is it that you want from us here right now?

Can I have the age distro of that?

Why? you deny the possibility at all? why?

@Ahmad You cannot get the information you are looking for.
