I am a co-tutor for CSSE2010. Creating a throw away account on stack overflow does not ensure anonymity. This post is evidence of academic misconduct and I am currently in the process of co-operating with the moderators of this site to gain access to your session data. These moderators have been ...
@JonasCz Wonder if it's a troll anyway? Question makes so little sense and is so incomplete it's hard to imagine a Google search would have uncovered it.
I use the AVR ATmega series quite a bit and have no idea either, especially the "in decimal places bit". You can find the register address in the data sheet, perhaps the challenge is to convert a hex number to decimal...
It's because our primary is ISP is dropping outbound packets. It's mostly solved because we switched to using CloudFlare as a proxy which has a dedicated ISP, but normal outbound traffic, such as a request to upload an image to an external API, is still going out over the normal ISP, and therefore not actually going out at all.
Yes @uni, @nicael is going to test the penalty box during his suspension. It's a new time limited opportunity he got. He wasn't suspended earlier, so he couldn't test the "suspended" user features. I think he is going to be very busy for 30 days.
It just isn't being actively worked on. If we had decided to make chat a product back in 2010-11 I think we would be a pretty big competitor in the market, but instead chat has been in pretty minimal maintenance mode for years.
And probably most of the improvements or new features which have been written are largely driven by our internal needs.
In some ways, perhaps. In other ways no. I'm not sure things like integrating with our HR system to know whether an employee is on vacation when we try to ping them counts as improving the quality of the product for our users.
The company is definitely interested in improving chat though. We've discussed it, and all the way up to Joel, people think that it's worth investing in improving chat for the sake of helping our communities. It's just that we're a bit strained on developer resources right now, and it's not at the top of the priority list.
And given that chat hasn't been actively worked on in so long, there's a lot of technical debt to deal with before substantial improvements could be made.
I want Shog's job. I think I'd be good at it. I'm bitter, I love passively telling people that they suck, and I have tons of bad ideas that I'm passionate about. Also I like graphs.
@ShadowWizard What! No way, I'd probably just name it and give it a nice window sill to live on.
From Nicaels avatar on the right: I can't talk in chat unless I find a way :) but I can edit this. I found the bug which allows you unaccept through Android App (sorry @Sha) while being suspended. Please report! Maybe @Sha would do it
See the timeline of this question:
Looks legit, right? But now see the profile of the question OP:
Suspended for over a day now. The unaccept was done via the android app. This should not happen.
Credits go nicael for letting me know of this, kudos!
When a user is suspended, his account is reduced to 1 rep and all of his privileges are stripped. However, they can still join chat rooms.
This leads to various forms of abuse possible (all of those I've seen by suspended users):
Join/Leave spams
Expletives in profile messages
Hold one sided ...
> @hic then I can place all the updates all the updates in, for example, some jsfiddle and... ask @Astro to extract text from there, if they agree. this doesn't sound criminal? :D
@AstroCB What you don't seem to realize is that even though there are about 4.2 million users on SO, only 32 of us actually perform any actions on the site. It'd fall apart if they were all suspended.
New message from nicael: > @hic then I can place all the updates all the updates in, for example, some jsfiddle and... ask @Astro to extract text from there, if they agree. this doesn't sound criminal? :D
That almost worked.
xkcdBot's back to normal; nicaelSuspendedBot will run on my account and check for a new message once every three minutes.
@3ventic True; probably a bad idea. We'll see how it goes.
In the words of the great Shadow Wizard,
@Tim actually, I don't think he did that to get around the block, since he didn't try to exploit it further and informed us in chat about what he did. Finding such bugs are in his very core, he just can't resist it - and in the long run, it's good for SE. — Shadow Wizard3 hours ago
I mean, if anything, @AstroCB, it kind of just stretches out the drama of this whole thing. We don't need to be reminded of it every time nicael edits his profile.
Just let him deal with his suspension like normal people do.
The point is when you're suspended, you're suspended, and you put off whatever you were going to do until it's over. It's a normal thing to do, there is literally no sound argument against.
In chat searches, any search for the text "no" yields no results:
"No" said by me in the tavern (no results although I have definitely said "no")
RSS Feed for "no" in general (it's empty)
I thought perhaps it was because of a minimum search term length, but "ok" yields results:
"Ok" said by...
It is my firm belief that every +10 vote after reaching the repcap can be redeemed for free waffles{*}.
I often hit the cap on MSO, and I like to see how many waffles SE Inc owes me. So I have a bookmarklet that does the job--it adds up wafflevotes for every day on a page.

@AstroCB If you mean check localStorage for message changes; not sure if you noticed but the second (removed) message was slightly different from the first. Had the words "trying to" added to it.
I though you were "ugh"ing because nicael was making minor changes to force your bot to repost, which is why I was "ugh"ing, and why I don't think this can turn out well.
Change it to 60 minutes. There's no reason for a suspended user to be able to talk even every 5 minutes. Or change it to 24 hours and just force him to say things that are worthwhile.
My third would be a bottomless drawer full of bacon in the fridge.
Then I'd spend the rest of my life regretting not making better wishes, but at least I could take the edge off with bacon.
Ok I gotta get out of the house. Or something. It's 80 degrees and disgustingly humid right now, and I don't feel like busting out the window A/Cs just yet. Maybe there's a breeze outside.
It almost makes me a little sad because, as someone who wrote her own programming language for fun, there aren't very many resources out there to actually understand how to go about that.
@AlexisKing the only reason I discourage these kind of question is because I don't want a lot others to come up with similar one, it's genuinely too broad to answer. Nothing else. :-)
