A: Why don't we treat rubbish the same as spam?

I'm assuming that's not what "abusive" in this reason is referring to You know what they say about assumptions... ...they say that they're often wrong. Like you are. In this case. If someone is abusing the site by posting gibberish, flag it as such. Any combination of 6 spam or offensive ...

cybermonkey

@JanDvorak Shog9 still says that it should be flagged as spam.

Jan Dvorak

@cybermonkey where???

cybermonkey

Jan Dvorak

some cases. Not sure which ones, perhaps he means those that are later edited to contain a link?

cybermonkey

8:12 AM

perhaps

anyways, any more cvs? stackoverflow.com/questions/22446577/…

Jan Dvorak

@cybermonkey I'm not in a mood for moderation right now

@cybermonkey the help center is explicitly not exhaustive, so you can't treat an absence of a type of abuse as evidence that type of abuse is not abusive.

cybermonkey

@JanDvorak A message entirely comprised of 03 303030303030 isn't abusive, it classes as NAA and spam.

Jan Dvorak

not sure how you can consider it advertising

cybermonkey

@JanDvorak did you even look at the screenshot of Shog9's comment??

Jan Dvorak

yes. Did you read all of the words in that comment?

Andrew T.

8:21 AM

If you consider that as spam, well.. then the result will be the same (-100 penalty rep). However, I didn't see that as spam. NAA, yes, but it's more to abusive since I can't even understand what was the answer trying to convey. I value NAA (thanks/I have same problem) more than this nonsense post.

Q: Why I can remove my votes on old post if the post isn't edited

Why I can remove my votes on old post if the post isn't edited? I don't understand, on some posts my old votes has no effect. The browser shows that it's in the down/up state highlighting and counting it but it doesn't lock it and has no effect on the OP's rep.

Bart

@SPArchaeologist I haven't seen S1E01

attempt two: Visual Studio SQL Server explorer. Shows items, but designer is borked and doesn't allow for updates to object. One MS Connect related issue found, reply is "We will fix in the next version, until then make your time, we set you up the bomb"

One thing that intrigues me about spam like the above is a few times I've seen meta posts asking why a question "doesn't meet quality standards". I've seen a few that minus caps at the start of sentences actually aren't really bad so I wonder how that junk passes.

Someone outside there will one day need to contact Hotmail support and upon searching their phone number on Google will then click the SE result link instead than an official one, see a strange engrish wall of text, notice the number and decide to test it...

@bjb568 This is basically the idea of B-splines. For example, the cubic B-spline is built of these things:

bjb568

Well, splines just sound kewl.

user259867

Unlike the Gaussian, it does not go on forever; it turns to zero at the end of that interval. Which is good, makes it local.

bjb568

Huh, ok.

user259867

By the way, although this is not a normal curve, it still has a probabilistic interpretation.

user259867

It's the probability density function for the sum of 4 uniformly distributed random variables.

user259867

That is, pick 4 numbers out of, say, [-1,1] at random. Add them up, record the result. Repeat 100000 times. The histogram will be like that curve.

bjb568

Huh, kewl.

user259867

One thing that cubic B-splines do not do is match the given numbers perfectly, because each data point also contributes to its neighbors a little. So, it's an approximating spline rather than an interpolating spline. For some applications this is actually a good thing, for others not. As usual.

Those are usually seen on Database Administrators, where users come with diagrams of all shapes and sizes.

Hey @Hom, when do you learn about hyperbolic triggies? They seem interesting.

@bjb568 Depends on curriculum. Sometimes they are introduced in Calculus II when doing trigonometric substitution. The integrals like sqrt(x^2+1) are easier to handle with x=sinh(t) than with x = tan(t)... However, there is often not enough time for that, and Calculus II is packed with stuff already. In that case, they come up in differential equations.

user259867

E.g., the general solution of y''=y could be written as y(t) = A*e^t+B*e^(-t), but the equivalent form y(t) = A*cosh(t)+B*sinh(t) is more convenient for fitting A,B to given initial values.

bjb568

@HomegrownTomato hey, that's my question on Math SE!

yay

Well, I'm probably going to take multivariable and differential equations next year.

user259867

And nobody mentioned sinh and cosh there? For shame.

bjb568

In the course description things? I don't read those…

user259867

I mean in answers or comments to your question. sinh and cosh are named functions that satisfy y''=y.

oh

user259867

Of course they are just a combination of exponentials, but still. For completeness.

Feel free to answer!

Q: How do I prevent spam from the contact form [using php coding]?

My client is receiving tons of spam emails from their contact form, is there a way to stop or prevent them using PHP coding? I have added a simple math captcha, but it's not working, they are still getting spam emails. A lot of the spam emails are originated from Gmail (...@gmail.com). Thank you
