are you serious about the weekend?

Shadow Wizard

@rene yup

Workweek and weekend

The workweek and weekend are those complementary parts of the week devoted to labour and rest, respectively. The legal working week (British English), or workweek (American English), is the part of the seven-day week devoted to labour. In most of the Western world, it is Monday to Friday; the weekend is Saturday and Sunday. A weekday is any day of the working week. Other institutions often follow the same days, such as places of education. In some Christian traditions, Sunday is the "day of rest and worship". Jewish Shabbat or Biblical Sabbath lasts from sunset on Friday to the fall of full darkness...

> Jewish Shabbat or Biblical Sabbath lasts from sunset on Friday to the fall of full darkness on Saturday; as a result, the weekend in Israel is observed on Friday–Saturday

Ok, I'll use your suggestion then

Thanks

It's not that critical, most people from Israel know that Sunday is weekend for most of the world, but still... :)

it's kind of true though, what else are rooms such as Low Quality Posts HQ for?

rene

To delete crap?

user202362

precisely

Shadow Wizard

1:09 PM

@Telkitty To catch low quality posts?

If it's causing people to downvote/close/delete without thinking, it's missing its core point.

user202362

explains 'travel in herds'

user202362

it's/their lone distress will attract more downvotes

user202362

in rooms like those

Shadow Wizard

You can mention something like "there are certain measures taken to detect low quality posts, which might lead to what appears as mass downvotes", but not take it into such extreme as you did.

what is DNS zone file?

Shadow Wizard

Zone file

A Domain Name System (DNS) zone file is a text file that describes a DNS zone. A DNS zone is a subset, often a single domain, of the hierarchical domain name structure of the DNS. The zone file contains mappings between domain names and IP addresses and other resources, organized in the form of text representations of resource records (RR). A zone file may be either a DNS master file, authoritatively describing a zone, or it may be used to list the contents of a DNS cache. == File format == The format of a zone file is defined in RFC 1035 (section 5) and RFC 1034 (section 3.6.1). This format was...

Hey, does the formatting sandbox ever get cleaned? My browser crashes when I open it.

Shadow Wizard

@VoteToClose not really, guess you mean mobile browser? If not, what browser? Chrome can handle it just fine for me.

Eh, it's really something I need to test with a question anyway. shrug You wouldn't happen to know whether or not HTML comments inside a post are passed to a user when they load a question?

I'm developing a userscript that might rely on that.

Shadow Wizard

@VoteToClose what you mean "passed to a user"? HTML comments are preserved as-is, SE doesn't remove them if that's what you mean.

VoteToClose

@ShadowWizard Yeah, that's what I mean. Thanks.

@tchrist one of my esteemed coworkers from the San Francisco office was elated that the city was free of jackasses for a bit due to the mass exodus to Burning Man.

As someone who enjoys San Francisco but does not much enjoy people... I may have to plan a trip out there this time next year.

(Of course, if this sort of thinking on the part of people like me becomes a trend, it may negate the entire advantage)

Hadn't realized they had a monopoly on jackasses.
