So, before coming to stack overflow, I knew nothing about javascript (at all) and had done all of my scripting in PHP. I have very few answers under the PHP tag and a bronze badge in javascript.

Still pending :D

Proposed, in four months got the first approve vote... when the second is coming?

hichris123

Sure

seems to be how to flag what contest running on gaming.stackexchange.com/questions

nicael

Lol, I can report it on the local meta :D

bjb568

Heh, I got an email from adnet.com, ublock refused to even load the site's CSS.

@hichris

hichris123

That's... totally relevant.

Tiny Giant

Lol, narawa doesn't like you

10:30 PM

merged

nicael

@hichris123 sorry. Mistakenly thought that the edit was on the q.

hichris123

@bjb568 rolled back. Almost no one will see the old dialog, so who cares?

Tiny Giant

@bjb568 not

bjb568

> Since a few days, a new image upload is being tested on Meta, adding support for paste and drag-and-drop:

That only applies to the old image.

hichris123

Actually, the chat dialog doesn't even support drag & drop, so...

bjb568

10:32 PM

The edit is invalid by Radical Change.

Tiny Giant

Clearly conflicts with the authors intent

hichris123

It's nice to keep these things up to date.

bjb568

The old dialog is definitely relevant.

Tiny Giant

@bjb568 lol

It doesn't matter what it looked like. It matters what it looks like.

nicael

@TinyGiant sure :D

hichris123

@bjb568 ^^ It really doesn't matter what the dialog used to look like. Absolutely no one sees it.

bjb568

No, the answer says what it looked like at implementation time.

Post your own answer if you want.

hichris123

... and who is looking for what it looked like at implementation time?

NO ONE.

bjb568

It doesn't matter. Vote down the answer if you don't like it.

10:37 PM

Sheeh. Common sense people?

Oh good, YCS is back on SO.

Tiny Giant

@hichris123 Doesn't exist

bjb568

Substituting the answer for your own is not appropriate.

Sadly no meta common sense.

Q: Understanding isPrime function from Wikipedia, a function that determines if a number is prime

I know there are several questions on how to determine if a number is prime but none of them help me understand this particular implementation on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primality_test I understand the two if statements, not the for loop. Specifically, why does it increment i by...

@hichris123 Back in what sense? Stopped visiting both SO and ru.SO on June 9, before the suspension expired.

user259867

Was quite active on ru.SO, but not anymore.

hichris123

@Idisagree back as in able to be back.

nicael

You might want to update your about me ;) — Undo May 12 '14 at 20:49

Heh, since he stepped down, hasn't visited at all....

Strange.

@TinyGiant The wise words of bjb, of Parenting fame.

nicael

Q: Why all the Stacks Overflows are svgified except pt.SO

SO, ru.SO, ja.SO are svigified: But not pt.SO: It seems to use semi-old design (can be seen by looking at the logo). That's also strange because pt.SO is older than ja.SO or ru.SO, but still not svgified. P.S I don't know to which word I should append "s", so I've written Stacks Overflows...

Looks like completed, time to poke @Shog?

(As pt.so is no longer beta and seems to have gotten a redesign)

@nicael You poke him in two places? Really?

nicael

11:38 PM

@hichris123 @Shog needs two pokes, just in case ;)

bjb568

Yeah, we should all totally poke @Shog, that's a good idea.

nicael

O.o

lol

hichris123

... and this is how one is able to quickly and effectively make people mad at them.

you dare awaken the Shog????!?!?!?!

@santiago that was a bug.

@bjb568 This, bjb, is why you can't be mod. You don't follow simple disclaimers.

user259867

feature-request Inbox by SE, with bundled notifications

bjb568

What's a bundled notif?

user259867

A requested feature. The main new thing in Inbox by Gmail is bundled messages.

bjb568

What does that mean?

Group by thread?

user259867

No, by type of content. Like "Purchases", "Forums", etc. Stuff that you don't necessarily need to see quickly. So it gets bundled and the bundle can be scheduled to be shown only once a day.

huh

"Man" as a verb has never meant "to assign male persons to" or the like. It has literally never been gendered, as evidenced by the absence of any replacement to refer to females. This PC crap is going overboard. — cHao 5 hours ago

JeromeJ

Hello pips! I was wondering if this was the place to ask people's opinion about a rejected edit suggestion? As meta.stackexchange is the place to ask 'where to ask' specific questions, I'm assuming my question might belong here. Thanks in advance fellows.

AstroCB

@JeromeJ Go ahead.
