When single-tasking, you always do the one task better then the multiple tasks when multi-tasking.

HTTPS Everywhere

HTTPS Everywhere is a free and open source web browser extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, a collaboration by The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). It automatically makes websites use the more secure HTTPS connection instead of HTTP, if they support it. == Development == HTTPS Everywhere was inspired by Google's increased use of HTTPS, and is designed to make HTTPS automatically used whenever possible. The code in part is based on NoScript's HTTP Strict Transport Security implementation, but HTTPS Everywhere is intended to be simpler to use than NoScript...

Brings me back to my 4th grade days, where we were learning how to write a good essay. Previously, we had a green intro (a broad sentence before, a broad paragraph by then), yellow intermediates (description sentences before, body paragraph intros then), and red "supporting details (new for the multiparagraph form). We were introducing the blue "attention grabber with transition" part, which was tacked on at the beginning and had really nothing to do with the main point, but led into the green…

…proper introduction. I feel like my edit is kinda like the blue thing, tacked on in front.

Anyway, soon after, I dropped out of 4th grade 'cause it was boring.

so the conversation came up in CR chat earlier about the "what brought you here" thread... which reminded me about the SE-related blog posts I shelved

in some sense, there's an ego that accompanies writing such blog posts... ego or experience, neither of which I have

and writing a "my story on X" post feels dramatic and annoying, especially when the end is "low rep pro tem on the second slowest site on Stack Exchange"

@Quill I'm currently wearing a rainbow pride shirt

Quill

@QPaysTaxes did some specific event occur? it's hard to keep track of these things when they're overseas

hichris123

@ShadowWizard Right, but if you search "Tavern" and nothing comes up... it must not be there. :P

user248725

@Quill The Orlando shooting

user248725

Someone walked into a gay club and shot a bunch of people, then later claimed to be Muslim

Shadow Wizard

22:01

@hichris123 yup, lol

Quill

@QPaysTaxes oh, right :(

user248725

@hichris123 ...And I forgot that there was more than just Chat.SE and Chat.SO, which is why it took so long for me to figure out, which is why I'm embarrassed

user248725

@Quill That's almost invisible on the near-white background of chat messages

Quill

maybe we should reopen the "Can SO become Love Overflow again" question ;-)

Shadow Wizard

@Quill nah, don't think that will happen

hichris123

22:02

@Quill Already happened.

KutuluMike

i think someone tried

Shadow Wizard

Unless some sort of official memorial day is established

Quill

@hichris123 somebody tried to reopen it?

hichris123

@Quill No, someone posted another question. Must've been deleted (it was on mSO), net score was -30 or something like that.

user248725

Whoah

Quill

22:03

ah, right

hichris123

Actually, nevermind, it's still there. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/326116/…

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector ] Pattern-matching website in answer: How do I troubleshoot a slow hard drive? by Rooney on superuser.com …

user311528

wait did I miss the meeting thing or is it tomorrow

user248725

I believe it's tomorrow

user311528

oh okay

user311528

@QPaysTaxes hey you left PPCG?

user248725

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Turns out code golf isn't for me

user248725

22:33

I like writing code that makes sense and doesn't rely on compiler bugs

user248725

Also I'm very nearly at 3k rep on SO so I decided to focus on that

user311528

@QPaysTaxes :(

user311528

@QPaysTaxes okay

Quill

argh, the design pattern for Angular Unit Tests is horrible

user248725

Hey @Quill you still active on CR?

Quill

22:42

I talk in chat and hit the review queue, but I've been really busy so I don't post much

why, what's up?

user248725

Just wondering if the general opinion on large projects has changed

user248725

Namely, "break them up"

bjb568 is not a pebble

22:57

@ShadowWizard It's useless and not all that funny.

Quill

@QPaysTaxes sorry, I replied straight away but my connection is borked at work ;-;

user248725

@Quill I know your pain

user248725

I'm in an airport

Quill

It's kinda weird, like on one hand, the post limit on CR is pretty big, but you're less likely to get good reviews, and breaking them up can be off-topic is the dependencies are too linked together

user248725

Hm, good point

user248725

23:02

Then again I see very short snippets on CR every now and then so who knows

user315433

23:43

@Quill Now that would be a good use of a chatbot, posting occasionally to keep the historic room #5 alive...'

Shog9

@QPaysTaxes unlikely

Those frequently contain insults directed at specific people, and anonymizing them is difficult if not impossible

I know this because I've tried doing it before, and it was a headache.

user248725

@Shog9 Drat. I was hoping I could train a chatbot/script/whatever to ~~be the most offensive bot on Stack Exchange~~ see which rooms tolerate the most rude behavior

Shog9

Even when everything looks safe, there's still a chance you'll miss something that - for folks who know the context - is incredibly personal and not something they'd want in public in any form.

user248725

@Shog9 Replacing anything matching @\S+ with [Someone] wouldn't be enough?

user248725

...No, wait, people might not ping the people they're mad at.

Shog9

23:47

right

hichris123

@Shog9 So likely meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/326494/… will fall to the same fate?

user248725

@Shog9 Well I wouldn't be sharing the data. It'd just be a corpus of data to train a bot on, and as such would stay on my computer

Shog9

Or you get stuff like, "That jackass from Perth" that's still plenty inflammatory for those in the know.

user248725

@Shog9 That's not a polite way to refer to David Cameron.

user248725

(is he actually from Perth? I'm not totally sure)

Shog9

23:48

@hichris123 comments are a little bit different, but... it'd be difficult

hichris123

Yeah, kinda guessed that.

Shog9

@bluefeet & I gotta find some time to build a dataset & argue about it a bit ;-P

hichris123

I setup a logger for SO comments a while ago. There was some... pretty offensive, pretty personal stuff out there.

user248725

I've never seen anything more personal than ad hominem attacks like "stop being an idiot" and "I don't need your input Mr. Idiot"

hichris123

@Shog9 Maybe meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228043/… would be easier? ;)

user315433

23:50

@QPaysTaxes You could modify Quill's bot to log flagged chat messages; after a while there'd be something to look at (later filtering on those that were deleted). But somehow I don't believe in automatic recognition of what's offensive...

user248725

I've never seen anything more personal than ad hominem attacks like "stop being an idiot" and "I don't need your input Mr. Idiot"

Shog9

@hichris123 yeah

user248725

That's not to say it never happens, just that I haven't happened to see it

ɥʇǝS

missed it, didn't I?

oh it's tomorrow...

Shog9

yup. The tl;dr is, "moar flags"

ɥʇǝS

23:52

scheduling fail

user248725

That's not to say it never happens, just that I haven't happened to see it

ɥʇǝS

aw shoot. I have something at 1000 -.-

user248725

Anyway, I gotta get on a plane. Bye!

user315433

I know new users get a reminder about accepting answers when they upvote them. Naturally, this doesn't help when they are under 15 rep. FR: also show the reminder when they leave a comment with \bthanks?\b in it.

user315433

If I had 15 rep for each "That works, thanks" comment...
