In fact, James Bond can hardly be called stealthy. Wherever he goes, massive property damage follows in his wake.
 
Incidentally, can you still get the dupehammer hat if you're a mod with the gold badge? :P
 
user260233
@Doorknob: I'm curious about that too.
 
Because if not, there's no chance I'm getting it. Way too far from a gold tag badge on SO.
 
@Doorknob most likely you can, let's try and find on MSE
 
Oh, never mind, I'm actually fairly close to gold [java]. But still. :P
 
user260233
1:02 PM
007 - 0 comments, 0 upvotes for original post, 7 upvotes for your answer?
 
Alright, good :D
 
Yup, now go and dupe-close something :D
 
Well, I'm still 8 [code-golf] answers away from gold
I remember when I was about 50 answers away, but I still had the required score. I've had the score requirement for a long time, just not enough answers :P
 
@MikeMiller I say post it on Meta. Good luck!
 
user260233
1:04 PM
It's not right. :)
 
user260233
Some popular questions that led to a 007. But - there are 0 comments on all of them.
 
user260233
0 comments, 7 upvotes doesn't seem like it would be strong enough. So "0 comments, 0 ____, 7 upvotes" seems like a good guess for what it is.
 
@MikeMiller 0 downvotes?
 
user260233
@ArthurFischer: Can't be, question you got yours for has 4 downvotes.
 
@MikeMiller My answer has zero downvotes.
But Undo's answer.
Dammit.
 
user260233
1:08 PM
@ArthurFischer: But if that was it, shouldn't a lot more people have it, at least on Math.SE? Downvotes are rare there, so it seems like half the people with 'nice answers' should have it.
 
user260233
Fewer nice answers than I realized. OK, what I'm seeing fits with the evidence.
 
user260233
And now I wonder if I doomed myself with an explanatory comment!
 
grrr changing avatar doesn't give any hat this year :(
 
@ShadowWizard And before you try it, the Onion isn't related to the glider thing.
 
@Derpy glider?
 
user260233
1:23 PM
Wait.
 
@ShadowWizard the hacker symbol is called "Glider", see Conway's game of life.

> Hairboat’s Revenge
 
Anyone remember what Hairboat was for? I remember having it, but...
 
ROFL!!!!!!
@Doorknob post a comment on one of her posts
 
oh right
 
This caused a HUGE flood of inbox items to poor Abby
 
@Doorknob For commenting on a post by Abby Hairboat. Who got drowned in comments due to that hat.
 
user260233
1:25 PM
Our friend didn't do that.
 
user260233
Upvoted an old Hairboat post to check if that works.
 
So... how can she revenge?
Maybe have Abby post a comment on one of your posts
 
user260233
Oh no.
 
@ShadowWizard it's not, I checked
 
@ShadowWizard That, or comment on a post by whoever invented the hat.
 
1:25 PM
Abby hasn't commented on SO for a while
 
Hey @Sha I likened your new avatar to an orange.
 
I prefer the snarky answer! — bluefeet ♦ 16 mins ago
Hypothesis: Comment on one of Jon Ericson's posts
 
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. you mean Mrs. Orange, perhaps?
 
user260233
Son of a bitch, that sounds right.
 
@ShadowWizard Sure, after you changed into Juice Wizard.
 
user260233
1:28 PM
@Doorknob I think you win. Grats.
 
@ShadowWizard Mayhaps.
 
I'm trying it now :P
 
@Doorknob probably need an upvote to such comment though
 
A better way to "bring a chat a little closer" would be to provide a link to a user's chat profile in their profile. Because right now that's mod-only, but I'd really like to have it everywhere (and apparently the chat.foo/accounts/123 method no longer works). — Doorknob 冰 27 secs ago
(I actually made a worthwhile comment! :P)
 
user260233
Better than I. I'm pretty sure Jon was the one who had the hairboat hat idea. It all fits.
 
1:30 PM
\o/
 
I hear Jon saying "Mission f***ing accomplished"
 
user260233
Well spotted @Doorknob. Clever to look at meta.
 
wait... @bluefeet doesn't have any comments on SO at all :(

You and I have very different definitions of the word "worthwhile" :P
 
@Doorknob DavidG, who also commented, doesn't have the hat, though.
 
user260233
Huh, that can't be it. I just got a Sufawhatsit for SO but not a hairboat revenge.
 
@ProgramFOX He commented before the Bash
 
oops

user260233
@Doorknob Yes.
 
As evidenced by Airing of Grievances
 
So you know the secret from the inside?

Yep, got the hat.

Q: Will there be any remains from the Winter Bash after January 4th?

h0ch5tr4355I feel like this question exists for every year (and the answer is no), but will there be any remains from the Winter Bash after January 4th, the description states no though, but I am a fairly new (registered) user and I really don't know. Stack Exchange invites you to celebrate the end of a...

"remains" -- Will we, um, burn them down at Jan 4th?
 
Good morning
 
@Derpy Still waiting for caching to stop happening here :(
I'll post it on the meta thing
 
No, bad morning!

@Doorknob exactly. Your post.

@Doorknob you should also get the other one for the correct guess
 
Congratulations!
 
user260233
I didn't get it from commenting on the same answer as our friend.
 
1:37 PM
Yeah I'm still writing the meta answer
 
Me too, on MSE, no upvote required
 
user260233
I wonder if you get a hat from commenting on a distinct thing by Jon?
 
Didn't I suggest commenting on Abby's "enemy" first? chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/4322268#4322268
 
user260233
There's a difference in specificity, at least.
 
leave that up to the mods
 
1:38 PM
posted the thing
 
user260233
Yeah, I think each post can only be used once to get a hairboat.
 
user260233
I didn't get one after 10 mins on SO. Trying on an untouched post on my home site.
 
maybe you have to upvote too
 
All I did was comment
It's almost certainly just caching
 
user260233
Deleted my rather spammy comment anyway.
 
1:43 PM
This guy doesn't have it (yet?) for a comment on Jon Ericsson's post: stackoverflow.com/questions/32255152/…
 
I don't think that comment is true
 
it worked for me
 
I've posted on CR and haven't yet got the hat
the first to do so too
 
user260233
@Quill: You just got it for your original comment, I think.
 
He's got it now!
 
1:45 PM
oh there we go
 
user260233
Oh, but you didn't get it on SO.
 
yeah
I'm sure he has enough posts
I'm tying for third!
 
I've commented on the post as well. Let's see if I get it!
 
user260233
I haven't gotten it... I wonder why.
 
@S.L.Barth probably only for comments posted in meta sites /cc @MikeM
 
1:51 PM
I should be at 12 now
 
user260233
Eran got hers on main. I commented on meta.
 
@MikeMiller hat earned for meta actions is shown as if earned on the main site
 
user260233
@ShadowWizard: I mean that she commented on a post by Jon on main.
 
Do we get this many Winter Bash questions on meta every first day of WB?
 
Yes
 
1:54 PM
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. yes, actually there are usually even more
 
(/¯◡ ‿ ◡)/¯ ~ ┻━┻
I'm feeling bored right now.
 
@MikeMiller oh. Well, I take my words back. And why you think Eran is a "she"?

QuillThere's a 'Show Controls' dialog to move around and resize your hat: This lets you enlarge, make smaller, rotate and move about the hat to however you want!

lol
 
The rush for getting hats makes me even more bored.
 
user260233
@ShadowWizard: My mistake, sorry. Read the username as "Erin".
 
1:55 PM
lol
 
I should be getting badge 12 and 13 soon
 
@MikeMiller anyway, "Eran" is a very common Hebrew name. :)
 
user260233
Thanks for the correction!
 
Cheers!
 
We were brainstorming a while ago
 
1:57 PM
I saw your comment and upvoted it.
 
ah, okay
 
Reversal badge could very well be part of it.
 
@S.L.Barth does commenting on the question also count?
 
user260233
Dunno why my first comment didn't work. Tried again, got the boat.
 
@rene I think it should be one of Jon Ericssons posts. The idea is that Jon Ericsson gets the flood of notifications that Abby got last year.
 
user260233
2:00 PM
It was. :P
 
OK, I'll wait
 
Maybe Jon have to open the inbox or something? ;)
 
my field work hat hasn't arrived yet either ;-;
or the hat for having 11 hats ;-;
 
Ok, I have the hairboat
 
The Stack Exchange Milliners are just a little overworked right now. Give them a little time.
 
2:02 PM
@Quill you need to gain all 11 in one site, you have Speedy Delivery only in MSE
 
user260233
I'm going to try for 007 to test my guess.
 
yeah, I just realised that @ShadowWizard
 
what is the hidden dependency on the Timey Wimey hat? the timing cannot be all
 
just edit like 20 question a year and a half since recent
 
@Quill Go deliver on Code Review! ;)
 
2:02 PM
make like at least 15 characters difference
 
boat on a flower? O_O
 
@Quill 15 chars good point
 
@ShadowWizard I did, but then they were like 'I'll wait a few days and see if something better comes in' ;-;
my rule was at least enough for users without instant edit privs

Noh! This is totally legitimate!
 
You're probably close to some silver tag badge, anyway

@Braiam great, did you star this?
 
lol Jon started to delete comments
(or maybe users flagging them?)

There were much more comments here. :/
 
@Sha star this please :3
 
err, diamond abuse, technically
 
2:44 PM
yay
I got starz!
 
I've posted a comment on a post of Jon on PPCG Meta 40 minutes ago, but still no hat :(
 
@ProgramFOX Do it on meta.SE. I got the hat in 3 minutes.
 
@ProgramFOX meta.PPCG or main?
 
@Braiam Meta, because he has no posts on main (and I believe it should still work because bluefeet commented on Jon's post on Meta.SO).
 
2:46 PM
@ProgramFOX did the same on EE Meta about an hour ago - looks like it doesn't work on other sites
 
@PeterJ Didn't @MikeMiller get the boat from a comment on meta.math?
 
@PeterJ it works on MSE
 
user260233
@ProgramFOX: No, actually, it didn't work. I got mine from one on the main math site.
 
Oh.
Well, no luck getting the hat on PPCG then :/
 
@ProgramFOX unless we can convince Jon to post there :P
 
2:48 PM

stupid question, but is there any specific reason i'm getting that one specific hat just for visiting different sites (including meta.se) regardless of whether i vote, ask, edit, etc. on the site?
potential bug, or ByDesign?
 
Well it's voting and posting and editing and any activity.
You might just not notice that you voted or something.
 
I am two upvotes away from a siver badge / hat^^
 
In Winter Bash, how do I query hats sorted by any of the 6 orders of site, user, hat?
I can query the hats of a user on a site on their user page, and winterbash2015.stackexchange.… shows hats sorted by (site, user, hat).
But I don't see any of the other 5 orders.
 
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Nope, the Meta.SE one i got was just for viewing a single page, and that's it :/
hence my thought that it may be a bug?
 
5:59 PM
Ah, winterbash2015.stackexchange.com/leaderboard/network shows them sorted by (user, hat, site).
What about the other four orders, especially (hat, site, user)?
and (site, hat, user).
 
@ThomasW. Maybe you voted before WB started?
 
Eg. how do I find out how many distinct hats a site has?
Maybe they aren't shown so that the secret hats can stay more secret?
