Question. Say I have full control over a web server. It's a SW update server that serves a static prepackaged archive file. Now I need to add some per-device data to the response, different data for different queries. Is there some way I can include dynamically computed data in a single query?

I don't want to repack the archive per query. All I can think of now is custom response headers, or maybe store it in a cookie.

The custom data is key/value pairs, text.

I am working on a whack-a-mole game for a school assignment and I can't get it to work. The full code can be found on jsfiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/Lc30u5h7/5/) to make this question shorter. Whenever I load the code my "moles" (black square divs) disappear. By turning parts of my code in to ...

the current ones just display green squares. You could edit it so that it uses Shog avatar.

Then, to hide the fact that you just wanted to create a Whack-A-Shog game, you could do some other side improvements like adding a score.

Serotonin (/ˌsɛrəˈtoʊnᵻn, ˌsɪərə-/) or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter. Biochemically derived from tryptophan, serotonin is primarily found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), blood platelets, and the central nervous system (CNS) of animals, including humans. It is popularly thought to be a contributor to feelings of well-being and happiness. Approximately 90% of the human body's total serotonin is located in the enterochromaffin cells in the GI tract, where it is used to regulate intestinal movements. The serotonin is secreted luminally and basolaterally which...

@MonicaCellio I've written and argued more about the problems (and solutions) surrounding 'accepted answers' than I can possibly recount. Unfortunately with my 0% success rate, I don't have a course of action to advise. — Robert Cartaino ♦ 5 hours ago

Chances of coming to a workable consensus on this in... At least the next year... Are slim, @Suragch. — Shog9 ♦ 19 hours ago

This sounds a lot like strife within the Community Team.

A possible solution: take the "beta" label from the name of the site and apply it to all answers except the accepted one. Conversely, add a checkmark to graduated site names and call them "accepted".

Or delete all the comments on accepted answers.

A lot of 1-rep accounts with no posts on the Census badge page.

A possible meta-census: the distribution of rep among the Census badge recipients.

Probably the most common silver badge among the 1-rep users.

@SmokeDetector I was surprised by "few unique characters", but this turned out to be the case for original revision.

@SmokeDetector why

SmokeDetector

Title - Position 72-81: H.e.l.p.d
Title - Scam aimed at *hp* customers. Keywords: *care, customer, service*
Title - Phone number: 8556624436
Post - Contains 15 unique characters

Just curious about how it caught the obfuscated "helpdesk".

user315433

It actually didn't, but it detected the fact of obfuscation, which is itself evidence of spam.

user315433

Also, the "scam" method ignores all punctuation, so it correctly read "customer" and "service".

bwDraco

It's really alarming how these spambots are actively trying to evade detection.
