^ @nicael this one actually my suggest a new experiment: how long can a question title be before causing a breach in the multiverse?

@SPArchaeologist 130 characters is the limit.
 
7:48 AM
> Title cannot be longer than 150 characters.
 
user259867
@AndrewT. Hm, I tested directly by putting a bunch of characters in the title, and measuring how many fit.
 
I just copy-pasted aaaaaaaaaa in the title box, it says that, but I didn't count how many.
300 characters actually (just pasted now to text editor to count)
 
user259867
My method was to keep adding until it didn't accept more, then to copy-paste to an editor that counts characters. Will try again.
 
@NormalHuman But.. but... you didn't break anything! @nicael attempts are funnier to watch! :P
 
@SPArchaeologist We are just normal humans.

I see, my test was flawed. The box accepts 300 characters at first, but then rejects at validation if it's more than 150.

@NormalHuman 10k? i only show 9991? can you access 10k tools now?
 
slow day today
getting back into the swing of things
 
@PatrickHofman if started answering there is a grace period
 
@rene I know. This wasn't exactly an answer you need 20 minutes to compose. And the 'this question was closed' dialog would have been there for that time too.
 
@NormalHuman oh, i see 10,019 now, Congrats on 10k!
 
8:45 AM
@PatrickHofman Yeah, that user must have taken a long coffee break before hitting post answer.
@PatrickHofman User must have tricked the client-side validation or his javascript went busted: meta.stackexchange.com/a/91928/158100
 
@rene Which of the two it would be? ;)
Do you think it is useful to prevent answers after closure? I think this would solve some issues.
 
Hmmm, meh....
 
someone could make a query finding how many times a question has been answered after it was closed
 
look out for false positives for questions that got reopened and closed again
 
@PatrickHofman yes , b.c if people could answer closed questions less questions would get roomba'd
 
8:52 AM
But SEDE should be able to provide that
If someone posts a question on MSE, I'll write the query ;)
 
@Dronehinge indeed. my idea
@rene Will do
 
@PatrickHofman also, if someone really wants to leave an answer on a closed question, they could do their own new question (which is improved question that won't be closed) and self answer it
 
@Dronehinge True, but I guess this is one of the characteristics of rep farming.
There it is

Q: How often questions get answered after they got closed?

Patrick HofmanAs most of us know, there is a grace period for users who started to write an answer and the question got closed. This grace period is set to several hours server-side. In the web interface though sending an answer is blocked when a question got closed. This will prevent to click the button, but ...

12:42 PM
@DroidDev so +1 for what might be the correct answer and -1 for not enough details. Final result: no action. :)
 
@DroidDev, IMO for questions like that while the answer doesn't explain the why/how if it works it works. Most people with the same problem would just want a quick direct answer not necessarily the intricate details.

@ShadowWizard Registered question as false positive, whitelisted user and added title to Bayesian doctype 'good'.
 
@ShadowWizard ok, thanks
 
@PeterJ true, but those who want to learn will want a full answer. So such answer doesn't really deserve upvotes.
 
12:44 PM
@PeterJ umm...but, is that upto standards? Most people don't want details, but, I(or some others like me) searched for why after reading that.
 
@DroidDev, sure I wouldn't say it was great answer just an acceptable one. The real reason is probably buried deep in the Lint code and while knowing the exact reason would be awesome for anyone interested I think it's just one of those ones where a workaround is a useful, if not ideal answer.
 
false positive, but the example bad word used in the message is just useless since the expected result is already pretty clear.
 
@PeterJ well....if we get android specific, cleaning doesn't work either and doing this, app might fail to perform expected things in some devices. Anyway...I'll leave a comment under answer, though, I think getting an answer on comment is something that's not going to happen.

Can you please explain "how" cleaning project removes those warnings and "why" user shouldn't do something to solve those warnings and rather just clean the project and move on? — DroidDev 11 secs ago

inserts super-voice-cancelling earphones in his ears
 
@DroidDev, fair enough, not having done much with Android re-reading I'd misunderstood it a bit - I thought it was a case where it cleaning just removed a Lint bug. I take it that a clean rather than remove just object files like a C project for example actually causes warnings to be ignored?
(probably makes sense when Java has no object files now I think about it lol - although does it do the same for bytecodes?)
 
@PeterJ Actually, I have never seen warnings being ignored just by cleaning. If you want to ignore, you have to manually tell lint to ignore specific warnings. I am shocked at how that answer got so many upvotes. It never remove warnings just like that.
@PeterJ yes, java makes .class files
 
@DroidDev Sometime SharePoint+VS manages to do that. First compilation gives warnings, second one doesn't.
somehow related to temp file begin built on first compilation.
 
1:06 PM
@SPArchaeologist but, I think warnings/mistakes are still there and should be rectified. Right?
 
nope, in that case is just the msbuild task that is written poorly.
the point is, that one is a fake warning
 
@PeterJ if you want a proper answer, this should do and it has all the more reason for the previous answer being incorrect
@SPArchaeologist I wonder the usability of an IDE that shows fake warnings :/
 
@DroidDev only if the warnings are about stray files on the project directory from a previous failed build, which somehow makes make/dh/etc. more desirable (make doesn't care, dh runs a clean rule before building, etc.)
 
@Braiam oh...now I get it. Not much of a thing IDE can do in it....
thanks :)
 
yeah, IDE's are just that stupid... unless they are emacs ;)
 
1:12 PM
@DroidDev Usability AND Sp in the same phrase? HAHAHAHAHAHA
 
@Braiam well....latest android studio only works if you connect it to internet and it confirms that it is up-to-date. If somehow your connection is broken/you don't want an update/update is broken, you are done for.
 
@DroidDev @hichris123 should be crying more often
 
@Braiam umm...is he coding in android? If yes, such is the fate of someone who works with google ;)
 
and everyone is saying that Google is cool
 
@DroidDev Visual Studio new license system is account based, so you basically need a live id and refreshing the license data every now and then.
 
Basically it feels like the IDE was a Steam game.
