Is there a documentation for the Smoke Detector? I suppose "fp-" means "false postitve, remove", where can I find the options?

ProgramFOX

@S.L.Barth fp is remove by default, the - makes sure it's "quiet mode": it won't respond that it registered it. See github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/wiki/Commands

To execute commands like "fp", you'll have to be a added to a privileged list.

S.L. Barth

@ProgramFOX Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

Makes sense.

Don't want the spammers teaching it.

ProgramFOX

Exactly.

@bjb568 nginx is also often used as a firewall/loadbalancer, so you're only seeing the edge server

nodejs is good for all things! use for all things!

A: Can we have a guaranteed pipeline for responses from Stack Exchange?

Neither of your suggestions are particularly hard to implement. The search is: is:question [bug] or [feature-request] score:50 -[status-completed] -[status-declined] -[status-bydesign] And you can find questions that have been offered bounties by three or more people using SEDE. The problem is...

@rene ... did I miss something?

rene

Not yet, just wait...

durron597

@NormalHuman meh.

As an aside: this question meets both criteria (50 votes and at least 3 bounties and hasn't been dev evaluated). Any chance it could get a dev repsonse? — durron597 14 secs ago

@Undo Although Smokey is the perfect platform for these kinds of applications, makes me wonder if we should turn it into a platform with filters as plugins. (cc @ProgramFOX, not sure if you saw that)

@NormalHuman ^ Thoughts?

I wish I knew python a little better. @NormalHuman you make a good point about hardcoding and stuff spread throughout, smokey could use a good ~~makeover~~ refactor

some functions are really long and such

8:38 PM

wow, that was quite the diversion: beer glass went empty while looking for a way to bend the API to my will, ended up making cake. Anyway, I'm wondering if there's a publically accessible (non-scraping) way of getting a count for items returned by a search, specifically when the search is questions in a given month with a given string in either the body, title, or exact-match to a tag

Even beer glasses access API these days.. :/

austinian

I'm trying to do something like what's here, only with search terms instead of tags, but it doesn't look like that's something I can do with the API

user259867

@austinian Since you've already looked at the API, why doesn't api.stackexchange.com/docs/advanced-search suffice?

nevermind, I missed the body parameter

Agreed. Though, this is the tavern. Why doesn't the API itself have search?

user259867

You mean, like Ctrl-F on a documentation page?

no, more like ctrl+f through all of the doco for a specific term without use of google

Trying not to abuse the API here: I'm looking specifically for a count, not the objects (or references to/abbreviations of). I'm not seeing "count" anywhere in the documentation, but I know that if I run my queries, I'll get something around 40k, so I'd have to split it into 4-5 days of calls, with the throttle of 10k/day.

@NormalHuman Thanks.

^ Code Review already had their election, of course. Looks like they will be the first site to get a few other things without a custom design:
- removal of the much-reviled "beta" label currently attached to your site's name
