Close and reopen of the tab fixed it. All is right in the world again.

I agree.
 
Think what you want. I choose to stand by my obvious hyperbole.

@InfiniteRecursion hurry, edit it and put this link instead braintree.stackexchange.com
> Eligibility: Braintree Q&A Contest (the "Promotion") is open only individuals who (i) are residents of the United States of America
:(
 
@Braiam No, it's from the internet. Burninate the internet.
 
@InfiniteRecursion don't you dare to use my words against me >:(
 
> if you insist, just take a look at my actions, they speak better than I could ever do.
 
@Braiam you think that's bad?
> Employees of Braintree and Stack Exchange, Inc., and any of their respective related companies, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents and any agencies or other companies involved in the development or execution of the Promotion or production or distribution of Promotion materials, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings, and children) and household members of each such employee are not eligible.
That's some bull dookie right there.

You can moderate them :D

@Dasha This is pretty frustrating. I dug up all of the old torrents a year ago, finally having a complete list, and then missed the first torrent release after I'd finished. I wish somebody would be able to provide the may 2014 release, but I wouldn't be surprised if it practically doesn't exist anywhere. — Jeremy Banks 27 mins ago
 
user259867
Anyone downloaded May 2014 dump, by any chance (thinking @hichris123 may have)?
 
@Fundamental At one point I did. I am not sure if I still have it on this machine.

Q: Burninate [positioning]

MoosemanReasons to burninate positioning: You could be positioning anything. (<div> elements, unicorns, etc.) There is no such thing as a positioning expert. (Within the realm of programming) The tag wiki already says "This tag is ambiguous. DO NOT USE THIS TAG." However, based on the number of recent ...

Should make it exact matches, not any ping
@Frank Nothing but easter eggs yet.
@Moosebot halp

@Mooseman Long story short, Mooseman decided to write a bot. I am written in JS and run as a Chrome extension. Github repo and a purpose for my existence coming soon.

user259867
"Command not recognized" => bot stays silent, to prevent the copies of "Command not recognized" everywhere.
 
@Fundamental Will do after initial debugging. I'll have a github repo soon.
 
@Mooseman ok...

@Mooseman Just leave out the eggs.
 
@bjb568 Then there's little left at the moment.

@bjb568 The "In Praise of Moderators" room is a joke room.

So @Andy? Fight the system.
 
@Bart Trinity tried that. Looks like Snape got her. Poor Trinity.
 
@Bart Very un-brown.
 
@jadarnel27 that's just like, your opinion man

@jadarnel27 Bart is a bigger meme than brown now, so...

You know those boring town council meetings you never attend? ...
 
In years to come people will say "remember him? He defeated the brown" @Frank

@Bart :D
 
My bot is going haywire. Just ping something like fox at it...
 
stop
 
lol
 
no hammer time. Bot sucks.
 
@Shog9 Nice.
If I thought the parties involved actually wanted to have a real discussion, I'd be more inclined to refer them there.
 
8:46 PM
@Moosebot diving fox
 
user280395
 
@Fundamental Yup. You need a seed?
 
Kicked from the In Praise of Moderators room? That's a new low.
 
lol
 
9:04 PM
ping, @jadarnel27
 
Here, @Shog9.
 
cool.
 
Thanks for the assistance.
 
user259867
@hichris123 Not me, Jeremy Banks asked for it
 
@Fundamental Lemme double-check.

9:11 PM
Heads up fellow Brits, MI5 have just released a "massacre warning" (relating to Al Qaeda, surprise surprise).
 
@Fundamental Yup, got most of it.
 
note to self: just because you read "extrema" as "enema" in a question title, it doesn't mean the question is offensive.

@JanDvorak I wish I could remember how you even start to solve for x in that.
 
true, but the title still sucks
 
9:26 PM
something tells me that you take a log of each thing, but a log involving a subtraction needs to be distributed out somehow.
 
solve for e^x
 
Ah.
So ln() instead of log()
 
or maybe you can factor out 2^x-3^x
or a similar factor
 
Oh.. substitution.
 
9:32 PM
^ this, FTW
 
@JanDvorak if he changed to "would pig eat bacon if offered" is ok... the ethical implications that it may or not have is not a good question
 
"Firstly, would a pig eat pork?" ... Is there ketchup BBQ Sauce to dip in?
 
That rule is for americans, not for pigs.
 
Hahaha. Maybe they're american pigs. (imported to the UK)
 
according to OP, british pigs are just as relevant. See his last edit. </facepalm>
 
9:41 PM
Everybody knows British pigs eat spam spam spam spam spam ...
 
bah. I feel like I've just like lost 20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back reading the meta question by rand al'thor and its answers.
 
I never read the question, but the answers are not a loss of my time.
 
@JanDvorak I read the answers, but skipped all of the comments.
 
Never read questions. Just write answers and hope you get lucky.
 
Shog's answer seemed the most compelling.
 
9:43 PM
I barely ever read comments
 
@Bart I wish you were only joking.
 
I hope he is...
 
It's how I got to 10k @LynnCrumbling
 
@Bart You rep wh***, you.

Wow, the guy got suspended?
 
Again?
 
Apparently. On MSE now
 
His top tag is account-suspension though

his last edit wasn't exactly polite...
 
myeah, pushed him over the edge I guess

that was a cool message #. 2888000
 
I'm not sure it's appropriate to take pictures of bjb568 when he's asleep though.
 
I love how the avatar says "keep calm and..." and the suspension reason says "to cool down"
 
10:15 PM
Eurghebluaorlgh, is the "history" tab on SO's /review borken for anyone else? It has been for me for a while now and it's really annoying.
 
Seems fine ...
 
I haven't seen Eurghebluaorlgh in a while.
 
Oh, never mind, they're just really, really, really slow.

I suppose that would differ on your governing body, I'll edit to make the question more subjective — Zak 1 hour ago

Anyone tried to use Stack Snippets to render formulas with MathJax?
 
Seems like a meh way to do it.
 
user259867
Yes, the Snippets interface isn't ideal for the purpose.
 
user259867
But if it can be done in principle, what's stopping SE from adding on-demand rendering of formulas on SO?
 
user259867
No MathJax would load until/unless someone wants it to.
 
@Frank what?
 
11:45 PM
@hichris123 I said 'Go away @randa'
and was suspended for 30 mins
 
wat
 
Not very nice.
 
wat wat Jan?
 
doesn't seem kick-worthy
The chat flags are broken
 
idec
I think it's amusing.
 
11:48 PM
@Frank ... where? Weird.
 
@bjb568 No I'm not, evil feline creature from pluto
 
:O
 
@hichris123 10:42 pm, here in the tavern.
 
@Frank huh
 
@Frank ::watches in case someone flags that message for repeating the offensive text::
 
11:51 PM
@anorton You don't have 10k here. :(
@bjb568 Considering he's been pretty annoying... eh.
 
@anorton not so far, mebbe he'll come back because of the ping and flag it. xD
 
wait... what!? Hm... new tidbit of knowledge for today: Meta.SO doesn't count network-wide rep in chat.
 
@hichris123 Almost as annoying as that hichris guy…
 
@Frank The user cough might have a little more of a vacation...
 
user259867
@anorton chat.MSE, chat.SO and chat.SE are completely separate.
 
11:53 PM
@bjb568 I know, right? That guy is really annoying.
 
Yeah, totes.
 
user259867
yesterday, by Shog9
There are three chat servers:
- chat.stackexchange is for all the folks on all the sites
- chat.stackoverflow is for all the folks on Stack Overflow
- chat.meta is for employees, the super-engaged folk on Meta Stack Exchange, and the occasional confused person who wanders in not quite sure where they are.
 
hmmm good to know.
 
user259867
In other news, MathJax in snippet works just fine.
 
@hichris123 lol
 
user259867
11:56 PM
Still ugly, of course. But the point is, nothing stops SE devs from reducing it to a single "render MathJax" button for the purpose of rendering formulas on SO.
 
"Based on your feedback" - I was fairly certain the feedback was "don't do this!" Nice prizes, but... not participating as it ruins the fun of Stack Overflow (the intrinsic motivation). This contest would almost be better if the extrinsic rewards were unknown, and it was simply a "please participate" advertisement, and rewards were announced to congratulate the top users at the end. That keeps the extrinsic motivation away. — hichris123 54 secs ago
