Just keep in mind, that you should think twice before saying not possible, please. "a pre-push doesn't change the history of the repo it is about to push" FYI, pre-push doesn't do anything by itself, it's a human who writes commands and just tells git to run his commands before pushing.

I cannot be sure, but it feels like he would like to keep one local stuff

while working with two remote repository. It is a very odd use case inherently.

but what he would like to achieve, I think, is to push from one local to different remotes where different remote pushes would use different author description.

it is certainly a technical problem, but why it happens in real life is beyond my league.

None of your 'advice' makes any sense. Dont install it locally because it "may have defects"? What does that even mean? I want to install it to the application directory (which is NOT /usr/bin but rather /usr/share/[application name]/). The way I am doing it is much less likely to screw up the system and better because my version of the libraries I know will work with the program whereas other versions may not. — chacham15 Dec 28 '13 at 17:19

Going afk for lunch, but in case Nick sees this or anyone else sees this: _plugin/hq/#nodediagnostics reports Doop as the node name, EMVMSTAGING01 is the machine name and my config is { "clusters": [{ "name": "EMVMSTAGING01", "refreshIntervalSeconds": "10", "nodes": ["Doop"]}]}.

11:34 AM

It's a hard topic to nail objectively, so you start out hoping for 'not too squishy' and end up with so much discussion surrounding how to discuss the topic that the topic just eludes you. They gave it a really good try. It has a place on sites that talk about the dynamics of human behavior, though, but that's a really dry glass of wine to sip if you just want to talk about how to get over being dumped.

Shadow Wizard

@TimPost true, I'm not terribly sad but did hope to see it launched. Guess there's no way back, right?

Tim Post

@ShadowWizard It can be tried again, just needs a more .. observational spin on it. More focus on the why and a bit less on the how could work, e.g. Why are [gender] attracted to [trait] instead of How do I attract [gender]?

Strong overlap with CogSci, I'd say, but narrow enough that interested people could conceivably form a core around it.

Otherwise it just becomes a common sense dispenser with a reputation system. Q&A sites are designed to help you get better at something, and while it could help folks improve their relationship skills, there has to be a bit of distance from the relationship aspect and a bit more focus on the behavioral aspect, imho.

@ShadowWizard good catch, what's up @nicael? can we expect a new meta post soon?

nicael

nicael

@VotetoClose I need 3k to cast close votes. Don't know if it is a bug, but I could reopen. If it is not closed I can press "close" and it lead me to "flag > closing" menu.

I really thought the other day that I saw @nicael leave me a reply comment on a post, then I went back later and it showed the reply was from @martinPietjer

Shadow Wizard

@DaveHaney awesome, thanks! That was a major request long ignored.

Bart

Nice

Shadow Wizard

@VotetoClose that might have been just a case of deleted comment. But then maybe he faked the id....

Vote to Close

feature request for nicael , it could be a synonym of bug if you want.

Bart

Or of [status-declined]?

Shadow Wizard

@DaveHaney if you're into bug hunting, see my above post on MSO. Looks like a serious loophole to me.

Dave Haney

Shadow Wizard

Must leave now, but will be online again later. Cya all!

Shadow Wizard

@ShadowWizard If Dave creates it, there is.

Oh, and @DaveHaney would you mind putting up the repro steps after you fix it as I'm curious how it works?

Andy

@hichris123 seconded

Dave Haney

@hichris123 possibly will post the repro... I'll check w/ team on whether or not they feel it appropriate once fixed

hichris123

ok.

Oh, I got it.

Is there any way to make sure that bug report doesn't end up on the CB?

3ventic

Community bulletin only shows questions tagged discussion or featured

hichris123

@3ventic And [support].

For some weird reason.

3ventic

Example?

Andrew's a Unitato

@VotetoClose Are you asking because you are concerned about it being too visible?

If it's something that should be kept confidential, you should consider sending it via a Contact, instead.

hichris123

@3ventic meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/262662/… showed up until animuson [status-completed] it.

3ventic

4:11 PM

If a support question is also tagged discussion, it can appear

hm, odd

Vote to Close

@Andrew'saUnitato well, yea, I don't want my votes to close being reversed by false reopens

@3ventic oh, thanks, didn't know it was only for certain tags

Andrew's a Unitato

@VotetoClose I'm not sure what you mean there.

Vote to Close

just don't want the questions that are suppose to be closed being reopened is all

Andrew's a Unitato

@VotetoClose What does the question being visible have to do with that? The community decides whether a question is supposed to be closed or not. Reducing its visibility artificially increases the chance that something is closed/opened 'incorrectly'.

@Andrew'saUnitato Not sure what all this talk is about. So I'll just leave it at : / confusion.

How did nicael leave an answer on the locked post?

Shadow Wizard

@VotetoClose LMAO!

nicael

@VotetoClose I simply didn't found a way to comment on a locked post, so I posted an answer.

Shadow Wizard

@DaveHaney yup, already replied. Good luck, should be piece of cake for you. :D

@VotetoClose For me, it may be strange, many of buttons are shown (:DD LMAO). But not the comment button. Would be glad to be able to comment.

@ShadowWizard taking a look now, thank you for the info

@ShadowWizard or anyone: got a link to a closed Q I can play with?

Anna Lear

@DaveHaney reproing locally should be faster/easier

Close a question, impersonate a sub-3k, go to town. :)

@ShadowWizard Have you considered it could be both? ;)

Q: The new mobile theme seems to think the Questions page is the same as the homepage

Ever since the new mobile design pushed out, it seems to think that the Questions page (located at /questions) is the same as the homepage (located at /). The tab is highlighted as if I was there, and clicking it continues to take me back to the homepage. The Questions page does exist on mobile....

bug design hyperlinks mobile-web
