@ShadowWizard Dodecahedrane doesn't react with water. :P
 
I was just searching on EE.SE for someone I suspected might have had a few deleted answers and just noticed a +4 one that said "use one of these..." followed by a picture of brain lol
 
rofl!!!!
I wonder if Nick is leaving the bug around on purpose, to see if we'll abuse it or not, then if not making it a feature.

@animuson Sorry to bother you but can you give me a explanation on the reason one of my answer got deleted ?
Poor animuson getting lots of pings :D
 
I should probably be thankful that the notification-flood is finally over :P
 
lol, you tasted how it's like being Abby or Jon, yeah :P
Doorknob Revenge, next year?
 
3:26 PM
@Doorknob冰 Hi
 
@ShadowWizard random clean up. He left some and deleted others.
 
@Doorknob冰 Guess what?
@Doorknob冰 Ch**ken b*tt!
 
@Derpy nah, don't think it's random. Though only animuson can tell for sure.
 
@ShadowWizard Well, I can tell another thing. We had something similar back with the paladin runestones when we had to switch them to the new version. The difference begin the fact that we actually told the users what we were doing, and that we would have to do it in batch.
 
Hey @Shog9, based on your limited exposure to me bitching and whining in the tavern and on the site, do you have any inkling of an impression that I might have what it takes for careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/102968/…?
Blunt reply welcome.
 
3:37 PM
@JasonC why not
 
Because I have an unhealthy, therapy-worthy need to guarantee success before taking risks, duh.
Blame my parents.
!!/blame
 
@JasonC It's DavidG's fault.
 
@JasonC everyone has that.
 
Also I'm looking for excuses to rationalize not getting out of my freelance comfort-zone / hole.
Scheduling's great, money's great, work is boring, my clients are vampires.
 
@JasonC as Shia says just do it
 
3:49 PM
Yeah. Well in any case looking for a job will at least help me start to untangle myself from the freelance web I've created, success or not. So I guess that's good. It's like a bad girlfriend.
@bluefeet Do you happen to work at the NYC office?
 
@JasonC no, I'm remote.
 
Full time? Do they treat you well remotely? Are you happy with e.g. vacation time?
 
Oh yeah, this is the best place I've worked. No doubt
Remote workers are treated the same as office staff. We get our home offices setup with a desk, chair, etc
 
Do you feel pretty connected despite being remote?
 
Yup, we use google hangouts for all meetings so we interact with everyone pretty much all the time. It's great
 
3:59 PM
Word.
Oh cool their NYC office is only a few train stops from my house.
 
@JasonC admit it. All you are after is the global diamond.
 
@JasonC The NYC office is really nice. I wish I worked there.
 
20 minute commute.
@ShadowWizard Nah, I'm just super picky and what SE does for the internet really agrees with my personal values.
I'm trying to find something that I enjoy, philosophically agree with, and that seems to make a difference.
Actually I think it'd be kinda fun to work for SE but hide the diamond. Secret agent style.
You never know. They're always watching.
@FatherChristmas Ho ho ho.
Are you here to bring me the 24" disc sander I asked for?
 
@JasonC I'm fresh out. Only digital hats left.

4:06 PM
What does a PM do?
 
@JasonC I'll say that I wanted to work here for a long time before I applied. I was hesitant to put in for anything because I didn't think I was qualified for anything. It's been the best decision.
 
I applied to Trello but not sure how to read into how the interview went.
 
@Moshe They are responsible for getting projects done.
 
And driving product development; new product research and specifications, making sure products are a good fit, user feedback and product improvements, etc.
 
Ah that's cool.
I only interacted with PMs at my internships in meetings.
 
4:11 PM
(I'm assuming you mean "product manager" and not "project manager".)

@bluefeet Because you can lay off the flags? ;)
 
@FatherChristmas The P could be whatever but from context we were talking about careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/102968/… above.
 
@hichris123 haha, I still process flags or at least I did until the last election
 
4:14 PM
Probably at a... slightly more sane pace. :P
 
@hichris123 that depends on the day
 
@bluefeet You still have Real Work™ to do, I assume?
(on those flag-clearing days)
 
An "in need of bluefeet intervention" flag reason to keep her busy on slow days.
 
@hichris123 I always have "real" work to do
 
@JasonC Yeah. I don't know what the distinction is. I guess a project could be any task and a product is something bigger and user-facing? (At JPL, where I worked before, projects are really big deals. Like "instrument in space" big deal.)
 
4:18 PM
@bluefeet well, get to it then? :P
 
@FatherChristmas I imagined you send a piano to Hubble...
 
@FatherChristmas From my experience with product managers, they're e.g. determining feasibility of a project (or projects) before they become actual projects, where project managers start working to get them done. But the lines are super fuzzy.
Like I've seen companies where their project managers manage projects only for specific products and double as classic "product managers" for that product. It's the usual amount of vaguery.
It's just an arbitrary label at the end of the day.

Hey, that's my job!
 
It's your job to suspend new mods in chat
:O
 
4:23 PM
Hmm, that generates a dilemma... I don't have moderator privileges over here...
 
waits how hichris123 obtains mod privileges...
 
I love the facehugger fan-hat-ic hat.
 
Good to see the Tavern's @Father around :D
@JasonC you were the one suggesting it?
goes looking.... nope, fredley did.
 
@FatherChristmas Cool!
 
4:34 PM
Now who wants to be Zwarte Piet?

@rene Whoa that is cool. Technology!
Earth looks nice with a mohawk.
 
@JasonC I might flag that as offensive
 
Lol, noooo!
 
You're making the 19th century Dutch cry.
 
For good reasons, no?
 
4:46 PM
I'm indifferent and instead present you with this.
 
Aaahhhh, how sweet....
 
@rene You know, your answer was super useful.
It directly pointed out that the bug was "strikethrough does not work in multi-line messages" as opposed to my interpretation.

Q: Question score goes crazy

PythonMasterI was voting on a question but I was just spamming the vote (on and off) just to see if there was a bug. Actually there is. After spamming the vote on and off for about 10 seconds, stop and watch the score change like crazy (not due to someone else doing the same thing). When the craziness stops,...

Remember when that happened a year or two ago?
 
@TheGuywithTheTux Well, nicael finally seems to be growing up into a fine young man.
One small step at a time.
 
@JasonC *fine old Japanese woman.

6:06 PM
@JasonC you & i may have had one or two spirited discussions here in the past. Can you handle doing that every day with one or more of a couple dozen different people, without getting frustrated?
That'd be my only concern for you.
a proDUCT manager at Stack Overflow is more or less the person stuck in a kitchen with 6 vats of soup and scores of cooks, trying to make sure nothing gets ruined.
4
 
@Shog9 And there's one cook who loves Sriracha.
 
a proJECT manager at Stack Overflow is someone else stuck in the same kitchen, but not really caring about the soup so much as just keeping the cooks from stabbing each other.
4
It's important to keep that distinction in mind, or you might end up getting stabbed and then dumped in the soup
 
6:24 PM
@SmokeDetector fp-
 
@Shog9 Honestly... I don't know... This is something I've been reflecting on a lot lately. The reflections will continue. That was valuable, thanks.
I do like a good debate, though.
The trick is letting it go.
 
yup.
 
Question for @JasonC from the peanut gallery: if you were to be made an employee, how would this impact your role as a room owner? Would you expect to still have time to visit back to your old room?
(any parallels between this and a hypothetical moderator election question are purely coincidental)
 
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
Haha
I'd probably get fired for spending too much time in chat rooms.
I mean, it'll either be that or the porn surprising pop-up windows that I have no control over, truly regrettable. We really ought to have IT look into this.
 
so you'd get fired for spending too much time in Anime.SE's chatrooms. Got it.
 
6:42 PM
Hey, there's totally a tangible distinction between Anime and porn!
Anyway, @Jason, why not work for DevDoodle? I can pay you in… uh… equity and DevDoodle stickers.
 
@bjb568isakat Thanks but I've already got enough kitty litter stuck to my shoes.
 
Do DevDoodle employeess get good benefits? Free de-worming, flea collars and such?
Do you have a groomer on staff?
 
uhh… benefits… uh… no
You can de-worm yourself.
 
You can de-worm ur face!
I've heard that on average calico cats make less per hour than tabbies for doing the same job. What is DevDoodle's position on this matter?
 
6:59 PM
@JasonC Whatever, at DevDoodle all employees are paid equally. Zero.
 
Lol

Do you people think that my latest revision to the Rate Limiting FAQ belongs there?
Asking because:
@Pro huh, looks like a new feature! I'm pretty sure I played with it once, voting and unvoting at least 10 times. That said, without the exact limit, I'm not sure it belongs here, e.g. post ban is not mentioned in this faq. — Shadow Wizard 36 mins ago
 
@ProgramFOX Just tested, it's 30 flip-flops.
 
Nice, thanks!

Dear client: Hint: When everything is "urgent", nothing is urgent.
My text message history for this one guy is 10 year's worth of "call me plz urgent" three times a day.
 
To be honest I ignore the word urgent on SO, or in worst case I give a down vote^^
 
Instant DV CV VLQ (if possible) from me.
 
On SO I just interpret it to mean the opposite.
 
urgent = not a real programmer, not a real question, GET OFF A ME SITE!

I like to type answers to those in under 5 seconds then wait 24 hours to post them just because.
