Tavern on the Meta

Anthony Pham

6:00 PM

How do you draw a line though text again?

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

And making 50 or so helpful suggested edits (and asking a meta question of whether that actually helps)

---text---

Anthony Pham

Thanks

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I gave up.

So, I created an alt account (rule violation!) and posted decent questions and answers.

Anthony Pham

And got suspended because Shog9 is looking over his (and your) shoulder

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I even asked a MSE question on seeing deleted questions, mod responded with "they're pretty bad, nothing you can do" (improving old deleted questions is how the ban gets lifted)

Anthony Pham

6:02 PM

But got suspended because he was testing Jon Skeet's bot without the unicorn's permission

again

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

The accounts were merged one morning

Anthony Pham

And became the user you now know today

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I freaked out a bit, but after realizing the q-ban was lifted, I sighed a relieved sigh

@AnthonyPham Yep!

Anthony Pham

And that's me!

As well

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@AnthonyPham Really?

Anthony Pham

6:03 PM

I was terrible at Stack Overflow at the time

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I have also traiged and closed and edited more spam and new user content than I posted, ever

Anthony Pham

I didn't read the Help Center, decided to ignore Jon Skeet's advice that you should never make your username like PythonMaster or JavaGuru (cough cough first one)

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

Was a bit bugged about your username, not bugged enough to tell you.

Anthony Pham

Same here! I have like 6 gold badges for reviewing and flagging and voting

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

IMHO you should change the avatar.

@AnthonyPham eyes pop

And I wrote this +222 meta post

That was previously at -20 points, and after hours of "ALL ENERGY TO DOWNVOTE FORCEFEILDS!"

Anthony Pham

6:05 PM

Ain't popular as this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/3470546/python-base64-data-decode/…

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

IMHO, the avatar emanates a childish view.

Anthony Pham

Downvoted for bragging :) Unclear what you are saying

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

Guns represent a nice upgrade into society where I am mature enough to understand gun control and polotics

Ok, now that was really old

Bart

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ the difference between the 1st revision and what it is no is remarkable.

Anthony Pham

6:07 PM

Don't judge me, I'm only 14

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

Perhaps that snippet from your profile could be moved to the bottom

Anthony Pham

Say what?

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@Bart Thanks! (I guess)

Anthony Pham

"from your profile to the profile"

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@AnthonyPham I am one year younger

I was told by shog that "30 edits by OP" was not a common community autoflag

whatever edits I did to forcefield my post worked

Moral of the story: I have proudly repayed my debts to the Community.

Bart

6:11 PM

That's almost like my story, but in reverse. I'm building up credit so one day I can go insane without backlash.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I still have -47 score on the documentation badge, lol.

I am still plagued by ALWAYS an initial negative vote score for asking any question on any SE site

I do read the help center

Anthony Pham

Lol

I just get duped first nowadays

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

Even on a code review question that is now +11

@AnthonyPham no dupes for me

rene

Yeah. sometimes things are just up-side down

Shadow Wizard

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ yeah, -23 is a nice start for MSE... ;)

Anthony Pham

6:13 PM

I'm feel ashamed... I'm a bounty sniper :(

rene

@ShadowWizard ... and counting ...

Shadow Wizard

@JasonC deal! So, forget what? ;-)

@rene nah, it's too old by now, doubt it gathers any new votes... ;)

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I apologize for self-promotion but if anyone can answer this code challenge, there is a +100 bounty waiting for you

wait wrong challenge

rene

siggh

down voting that one then

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

twitches

Shadow Wizard

6:14 PM

Last downvote: Dec 12 '16

Before that Jun 20 '16

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@rene Why, if I may ask?

Anthony Pham

Someone just downvoted and it ain't me

hichris123

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Not entirely surprised on Meta... it seems like a vast majority of your questions are the kind of things you should know an answer to, either via common sense or a little searching.

Anthony Pham

Gtg

rene

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Because I can on codegolf

Anthony Pham

6:15 PM

Ooooooooooooh burn!

Just kidding :)

Don't mine my childishness... I'm still 14

Shadow Wizard

@AnthonyPham not fair, I can't use my age as excuse... :(

hichris123

@AnthonyPham Yeah... it kinda shows. Might want to work on that. :)

rene

Since when is age a thing here?

Shadow Wizard

mining @Anthony's childshness

@rene dunno, since people mention it? ;)

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

Confirmed. Downvote, lost rep, suddenly can't view vote counts despite the obvious discrepancy

Shadow Wizard

6:18 PM

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ of course, you need 750 and you gave 100 away. What did you expect?

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@rene :(

@ShadowWizard it just took effect

Shadow Wizard

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ umm... nope. Bounty is instant.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I could yesterday on PPCG.

Shadow Wizard

You just noticed, or reloaded, now

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I used it yesterday

We need more these edits

Shadow Wizard

6:21 PM

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ on codegolf.stackexchange.com?

I doubt it, you have <750 for long time there

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@ShadowWizard yes

I held three bounties

Shadow Wizard

You're probably using the userscript to view vote counts, and today it broke.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I installed it yesterday, perhaps

Shadow Wizard

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ probably

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

But I have seen vote counts before... but you're right

Shadow Wizard

6:24 PM

the script is not dependent on reputation, it's taking the count from the timeline

or API? not sure

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@ShadowWizard what if someone does unupvote?

I only have a few options checked

Shadow Wizard

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ good question, but it should also affect the timeline, maybe with a delay

Anthony Pham

brings popcorn to watch conspiracies unravel before his eyes

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@ShadowWizard I thought of making such a script before I realized that engineering problem, without unupvote checking it sends the wrong signals to the author thereby making them doubt the very faith of the universe and making every waking moment of their life dull and dreary

Benefits for Developers from San Francisco to Sweden

Julia Silge on January 16, 2017

I just started my new job here at Stack Overflow, and like most of us, one thing I think about when considering a career move is what kind of benefits a company offers. Firms looking to hire developers can create a company page here at Stack Overflow. This means that we here on the Data Team can explore what types of benefits companies offer developers and how those benefits change across companies of different sizes or in different locations. In this post, we'll use text mining and data visualization to investigate the benefits companies offer to the developers they hire.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

6:26 PM

at least my life is already like that ;)

Anthony Pham

Unlimited vacation? So I could get paid for being on vacation?

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@AnthonyPham lookup ROWE

Psst, @ShadowWizard, check out [TNB](chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/240/the-nineteenth-byte), it's a great community; diverse, fun, and cool

Anthony Pham

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ First Result: Roe or hard roe, is the fully ripe egg masses of fish and certain marine invertebrates.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@AnthonyPham (imho not funny, too noisy)

and using age as an excuse for immaturity is immature (humble suggestions, saying this is not in the usual etiquette because it as seen as rude, not trying to be rude)

Are Chat Suspensions used to be network wide?

Anthony Pham

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ You should know that I am quite serious about that last message

Yes, it's Return on Equity but it is a fact

I use my age so that people don't misunderstand me

I will still take full responsibility for my actions

The actions of kids and adults do vary quite greatly

M.A.R.

6:35 PM

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ That's complicated

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@M.A.R. I installed the userscript and my ban (worry not, it is temporary) got lifted on all chatrooms hosted outside of the originating room

ROWE

ROWE - Results Only Work Environment is a human resource management strategy co-created by Jody Thompson and Cali Ressler wherein employees are paid for results (output) rather than the number of hours worked. Cali and Jody [1], who originally proposed the strategy at Best Buy, have since started a consulting group called CultureRx. The strategy has subsequently been implemented at a second large American retailer, Gap., as well as the Girl Scouts of San Gorgino, J.A. Counter and Associates, the Fairview Health Services I.T. Department. ROWE tries to give managers the tools to define goals which...

M.A.R.

The userscript?

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

SOX. I don't think it's related.

M.A.R.

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Oh well, I guess if you don't be cheeky about it you'll be fine

So you were manually suspended by a mod?

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@M.A.R. I was going to meta post dispute it, but I was like "naw I'm too lazy"

@M.A.R. I don't know

I don't know what I did caused it either

M.A.R.

6:42 PM

If you get a site suspension on site X, and your chat's parent account is for X, you won't be able to chat in that site's rooms

And prolly all sites' rooms

user315433

The rooms don't matter; the ban applies to the chat server.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

the last one punished me and my bot; my bot posted offensive content

"offensive"

user315433

So, if your host is 3D printing and you say that you hate 3D stuff because it gives you headaches, you won't be able to chat anywhere on chat.SE

M.A.R.

@zaq Aha

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

it was "BABY TERRORIST WITH GUN KIWI" (don't worry I'll never use that markov brain again)

it was never a good idea to train it on terrorism wikipedia articles

M.A.R.

6:46 PM

Hehe

That would be a fun bot for Den CC @Sha

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@M.A.R. who?

@M.A.R. I can upload the database if you wish

M.A.R.

Den is Sha's room

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ No no, I'm not terribly a programmer

user315433

Don't remember if this was posted before: Stack Overflow Joel Spolsky: How To Build A Business From A Q&A, an interview with Forbes.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@M.A.R. the actual database thing is not handled by my code

user315433

Misspelled Arqade as "Arquade" :(

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

6:48 PM

@M.A.R. Well if you can guarantee it from flags and suspensions, I can do that

@M.A.R. Who's "Sha" ?

M.A.R.

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ ShadowWizard

@M.A.R. your avatar looks like the hulk from a distance

M.A.R.

Thank you

"higher-level algorithms governing the intelligence ". Obviously

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

6:49 PM

I said that like people whisper "your pants are unzipped", but in a less pants-y way

@zaq obviously, and not a sweatshop of people in SOCVR

M.A.R.

@zaq he means Shog

Shog would be higher-level intelligence governing the algorithms.

-1 to today's blog post for its chart. "We analyzed the benefits posted by companies". If you didn't group "flexible work hours" and "flexible working hours" together, what kind of analysis is that? (There are also "flexible hours", then "competitive salary" and "competitive salaries").

Federal holiday, I suppose.

oh yeah

jon ericson and shog are active on chatrooms

user315433

7:01 PM

Someone has to keep an eye on things. Nick Craver also didn't get a day off today, with the SO hiccup.

M.A.R.

Not normal chatrooms, I suppose

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I'd like to imagine that "Is there any way to stop DDOS attacks?" was asked by shog on security.se while se was being ddos'd

user315433

Normal Chatroom

For normal activities. Ping me if you stop by.

Anthony Pham

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Oh, you mean ROWE

user315433

@M.A.R. Indeed, they are not there.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

7:03 PM

@zaq Huh. I can chat here but not there. (ban)

user315433

Yes, that room is chat.SE. This one is chat.meta.SE

user315433

It's the servers that matter, not rooms. The third one is chat.SO.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

But why doesn't the ban apply here?

@zaq Wait, they're on different servers?

M.A.R.

Mhm

user315433

Yes, or instances of chat software, but people say "servers". There are three, listed above.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

7:04 PM

SE has three chat servers?

user315433

They are independent of each other.

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

And one that hosts just chat.meta

Anthony Pham

Quick question: how long do you think before Shog9 overcomes me for number one for rep in this month, quarter, and year?

@zaq how do you know this?

This is brought up often on meta, when chat is discussed.

Q: Assimilate chat.MSE into chat.SE

Recently, there was a user in the Tavern who was... um, either highly delusional or a bot. In any case, since unfortunately no employees were around at the time, it took us almost a full hour to get enough people to spam/offensive/abusive flag one of his messages in order to get a measly 30-minut...

feature-request status-deferred chat meta

Anthony Pham

Why do I have the feeling Shog9 is watching us chat about?

M.A.R.

7:08 PM

@AnthonyPham Well, his word is THE word

Anthony Pham

Unless another SE dev comes by :)

Otherwise, you are right

M.A.R.

@AnthonyPham OK, that leaves us two questions

Why would a dev come by when the Shog has spoken? And why and how would they dare say something conflicting?

Seriously though, that just won't happen

And Shog is not the type to say something only to be corrected later on the main

Anthony Pham

One, the dev is Jon Skeet. Two, the dev is the one working for that field (i.e Android app, IOS app, etc)

Well not the first unless they're joking around about C

Three, it's an April's Fools joke

Hello?

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

I'm here.

M.A.R.

I'm reading Dilbert

There's not something to talk about unless you start a topic to talk about Anthony

Anthony Pham

7:19 PM

Book name or author name?

M.A.R.

Comic name

Anthony Pham

@M.A.R. Good or bad way?

M.A.R.

Hmm?

Anthony Pham

The topic about me... like me being good or discussing about my weak points

M.A.R.

And heck, I wish other comics had the ''innocent'' dark-ish humor of Dilbert

@AnthonyPham I don't even know you

Well, you could stick around so we could find all your weaknesses.

Anthony Pham

7:20 PM

I like Python 2 but am not learning Python 3

M.A.R.

Like, BJB's weakness is a fur ball

Anthony Pham

I'm also 14

You could start there

M.A.R.

Another teen

I think BJB used to be 13 last year

So either he sticks to his word and remains 13, or he's 14 now.

I'm either 17 or 18; I lost track

So many years to count

Anthony Pham

@M.A.R. Nothing here: weaknesses.com

M.A.R.

@AnthonyPham The first thing appearing there was a Privacy Policy link

So I guess that's the biggest weakness there could possibly be

Anthony Pham

7:25 PM

So my weakness is that I can use cookies?

M.A.R.

Cookies are a big weakness, yeah. My weakness is ice cream.

Anthony Pham

@M.A.R. But I"m not a big fan of cookies

@M.A.R.

M.A.R.

Yes?

You got me

Anthony Pham

There we go

@M.A.R. Also we have...

M.A.R.

@AnthonyPham Let's stick to the room's policies, OK?

Anthony Pham

7:30 PM

Okay

M.A.R.

Policy #0: All pictures of GIF's must be of cute cats or other animals.

Anthony Pham

@M.A.R. Okay, here's a cute cat eating ice cream:

I'm pretty sure Shog9 is going to ban me if I don't post a Unicorn picture

M.A.R.

Nah

The unicorn hype is restricted to the main and meta.SO.

This is why I don't eat that much ice cream nowadays:

user315433

Kind of awkwardly placed in an answer. Should other ideas be in other answers? Perhaps.

Shadow Wizard

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Stack Overflow got its own chat domain, Meta Stack Exchange (this site) got its own chat domain, and the rest of SE sites got one single chat domain. Suspension is per such domain.

user315433

The timing of beta removal sounds right, it's when the site goes from "we don't know if this will work" to "we will maintain it unless things get worse".

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. hmm? TL;DR?

M.A.R.

8:00 PM

@ShadowWizard TL;DR; That would be a fun bot for the Den Sha.

Shadow Wizard

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ nah, not enough cookies, too many blue names.... :D

@M.A.R. grr.... what would be a fun bot? What bot? waving angry fist

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard That bot

Shadow Wizard

stealing the Smiting Stick from @Bart to smack @M.A.R. in his core chemical

But... keeping in mind that even my Dummy Bot is good fit for the Den, any bot would be a good fit. :P

M.A.R.

Well, this one got someone suspended

But on Den we don't get zealous flaggers

Shadow Wizard

Not my problem ;)

Anthony Pham

8:04 PM

Lol

M.A.R.

And it makes funny markov chains, at least

Shadow Wizard

And you know what I do when Den gets overzealous flaggers, @M.A.R. ... :D

M.A.R.

It might know how to make ice cream too

@ShadowWizard Overzealously pee on overzealous flaggers?

Shadow Wizard

Though with current activity level in Den, doubt if anyone will even use the bot D:

Anthony Pham

cough cough M.A.R's weakness is ice cream cough cough

Shadow Wizard

8:05 PM

@M.A.R. nah, pee can't be overzealous. Or zealous. Or anxious. Just wet.

Ask @Jason, he got wet trying to Google something.

Anthony Pham

???

Shadow Wizard

?_?

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard I don't think Den will ever die

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. of course not, but there's also amount of activity

@Anthony see the star wall... look for the highest starred message.... go upwards in the transcript from there... you'll see what I meant about Jason and wet. :P

There's a new podcast stackoverflow.com/podcast but it's not in the sidebar because of the stupid "benefits data analysis" thing.

Shadow Wizard

So @Ant what happened that you are suddenly so active here in chat? You got addicted to the Tavern? ;-)

@zaq isn't there place for two?

user315433

I don't remember ever seeing two items from the blog being in sidebar.

Shadow Wizard

@zaq but the podcast isn't a blog post

bluefeet

@zaq I see both in the sidebar on SO

Shadow Wizard

9:27 PM

Should it have its own item?

user315433

I see it now too. Caching. Or the blog post was published a little later than podcast.

Shadow Wizard

@bluefeet maybe @zaq means on MSE?

user315433

The full "benefits" blog post (on the hiring blog) does have some meaningful data, but the one chart that's included in main SO blog is offensive.

Shadow Wizard

@zaq yeah, no exact time of publishing of neither, so we can't really know

@zaq offensive??
