I guess that CloudFlare didn't already have this particular page cached, or else it might not have just shown an error. (?)

Q: What are some common "gotchas" associated with moderation activities?

DragonLordOver the past few years, I've run into several little "gotchas" when it comes to common moderation tasks such as migrating questions, reviewing posts, or evaluating suggested edits. These mistakes aren't as well documented as I'd like them to be. What should I look out for when performing these ...

A: How to discern a case of illegal sockpuppetry from a group of people legally contributing from the same workplace?

Shog9Don't. Sockpuppets, meat puppets and collaborating cliques can all result in the same harmful effects. So there's not a lot of value in trying to differentiate between them, since you'll need to mitigate the effects of all of them. Which is what you should be doing in the first place: mitigati...

The article doesn't mention "societal truths" exactly, but I presume you mean the "shared societal events, memories, and values"? I wouldn't call those truths tho. I disagree that "children" and "adults" generally process information differently in a way that would create a noticeable discrepancy in their responses to the revelation of a good-spirited lie, nor would I assume it'd be more appropriate to reveal to one of the groups its "mythical" background vs letting it find out itself. — bjb568 9 secs ago

@MarianoSuárez-Alvarez
Study the object in question,
That you develop a sense of what might be true,
What might be false.
One does not intuit walls,
One learns not to walk into them,
By experiment.
The fetish of intuition is dangerous.
Students, who think they are missing something
And then get discouraged,
You can ask an expert on subject X
If he expects Proposition A to hold;
He does not consult the fairies of intuition
But his expertise on the subject,
his familiarity with related matters.

@Braiam Reserved instances are $75/year or $151/three years, all paid upfront. On demand is $0.013/hour.
Amounts to ~$13/month, if you run it 24x7.
Dedicated instances are probably a bit more... lemme look.

But everyone seems to be breaking everything. :(
 
not me 😲
this font looks promising for CSUR coverage: unifoundry.com/unifont.html
that should give you the text I pasted above
 
@yellowantphil Define “properly” for PUA code points.
 
3:29 PM
@tchrist the way I intended, being the person who sent the characters
 
@yellowantphil can read (actually no, I don't know how to read hieroglyphs) that
 
# This is the base used by the Conscript Unicode registry
use constant _CONSCRIPT_UNICODE_REGISTRY    => 0x00_E000;
# ...which differs from where they think they'll put these
use constant           _UNICODE_CONSORTIIUM => 0x01_6080;

# This matches the assignments of the Free Tengwar Font Project
#       @ freetengwar.sourceforge.net
use constant TENGWAR_BASE => _CONSCRIPT_UNICODE_REGISTRY;
 
@Braiam like this? ^
 
Notice that all your base are belong me.
 
what you say?
 
3:31 PM
And to the Elves.
 
I’m OK with the elves owning everything, but you worry me a bit
 
use charnames ":full", ":alias" => { reverse (
    (TENGWAR_BASE + 0x00) => "TENGWAR LETTER TINCO",
    (TENGWAR_BASE + 0x01) => "TENGWAR LETTER PARMA",
    (TENGWAR_BASE + 0x02) => "TENGWAR LETTER CALMA",
    (TENGWAR_BASE + 0x03) => "TENGWAR LETTER QUESSE",
# and so and so forth
our $TENGWAR_GRAPHEME = qr{
    (?:
        (?= \p{In_Tengwar} ) \P{In_Tengwar_Marks}
        \p{In_Tengwar_Marks} *
    ) |
        \p{In_Tengwar_Marks}
}x;
It is annoying to give properties to PUA code points.
 
@tchrist Why are there underscores in the hex values?
 
@yellowantphil To separate out the plane.
 
3:33 PM
@Braiam looks like you have another font installed that stomped on your pIqaD characters at the end
@tchrist so I can just take out the underscore?
 
@yellowantphil So long as you’re paying, sure: they’re easy dates.
 
@tchrist I was thinking McDonald’s
 
@yellowantphil Unifont CSUR, LIberation Sans, and Standad Symbols L Regular
 
@yellowantphil That underscores your insincerity.

Well, second.

@hichris123 no idea. The file is 15 terabytes, but only takes one byte of storage
 
@yellowantphil you are just allocating the space
