Compare Glorfindel's rep chart for SO with its equivalent for Math. A lot of 101 rep users. The double-outlier is two users with 400K+, both currently inactive. Everyone else is under 300K.

Other large sites look about the same.

Q: Why do you believe in God?

Anonymous 07With all the respect in the world, I would like address God believers, NOT atheists or agnostics. This is NOT in any way a chat room to create a feud or discussion between believers and non-believers. I am only a student doing a research paper. My question is: Why do you believe in God? It doe...

 
@Michelle which almost makes sense. You're kinda unlikely to go searching for advice on real world interactions on the internet unless you know its there

@redhand On the other hand, blockchain proposals on Area 51 stand out by their number of committed users. They don't get launched because those users do not participate on SE, despite there being Bitcoin etc. So, while we may not need new blockchain sites, it looks like other people do.

Low Quality Posts HQ got frozen. All posts now are medium to high quality.
 
3:08 AM
Is it easier to automatically detect (e.g. for bot/AI/etc) a low quality post than a high quality post?
 
@Elias yes. DEATH TO ONELINERS!

@TheLittleNaruto @JourneymanGeek ^^^
 
@redhand if you think about it. I've not known of anyone who has seen god and lived...
 
@JourneymanGeek so you don't believe in god?
 
hmm. My relationship with religion is odd. ;p
I'm a vaguely practicing hindu, but I also make jokes like that.
On the other hand, I believe faith or lack of it is personal, and every path has its own truth to it.
 
Didn't know Hinduism is followed in Singapore as well
 
@TheLittleNaruto may be migrant from india
 
9:39 AM
make sense then
 
@TheLittleNaruto singapore has a slightly sizable and very naturalised tamil community
 
for atheists, we made a god for them here in Kerala.
There are lots of trolling groups in facebook to troll other religions and political views
 
and there were pockets (at least) of hindus here before islam took root
 
@JourneymanGeek I see. So you moved there from India ?
 
@TheLittleNaruto nope, was born here
 
9:41 AM
Oh
 
So, some atheists, they troll everyone and no one can troll them because they didn't believe in any god.
 
God never existed
 
according to trollers from kerala, this is the god of atheists
It is a leading character in a pictorial novel in a child weekly
 
that's communist mighty mouse?
 
with ultimate power
yes. Mainly communists are atheists
 
9:43 AM
@TheLittleNaruto There's no proof god exists.
there's a difference.
 
So this is perfect
 
I believe in Spirituality not God.
 
Some folks might choose to believe that god exists, and that should be fine too.
 
@TheLittleNaruto ok. which religion you're?
 
@redhand Hindu
 
9:44 AM
this is the MAIN PROBLEM
hindus are always atheists. but islams and christians are not.
 
yanno what I believe? I believe I wish my home network would be faster, or I copied over the files I wanted earlier ;p
 
that's why they conquered India for hundreds of years
 
@redhand heh. Athiesm in india is a new thing
 
@redhand That is true.
 
9:45 AM
and hindus don't convert folks. Nor do we try to spread religion.
 
@JourneymanGeek not at all
 
And ... well, that's fine.
 
True @JourneymanGeek
 
and if someone converts for the "right" reason, good for them. If they convert for the wrong ones, who needs em? ;p
 
the main issue with islam is there are some unclarified things in Quran
 
9:46 AM
I follow Bhagwat Gita though
 
So, why get angry? Why blame? People can find their own paths, and truths
 
It is one of the best book you would ever read when you want to understand you, and your life, your existence. @redhand
@JourneymanGeek lol
 
There is a thing called Love Jihad exists in kerala. Some agents of terrorist groups, first love hindu/christian girls, do what they want(record it), then black mail them showing that and convert them
Love Jihad, also called Romeo Jihad, is defined as an activity under which young Muslim boys and men target young girls belonging to non-Muslim communities for conversion to Islam by feigning love. In November 2009, DGP Jacob Punnoose stated there was no organisation whose members lured girls by feigning love with the intention of converting. He told the Kerala High Court that 3 out of 18 reports he received expressed some doubts about the tendency. However, in absence of solid proof the investigations were still continuing. In December 2009, Justice K.T. Sankaran who refused to accept Punnoose...

I heard about it.

@TheLittleNaruto your existence. @redhand about my existence? O_O
it's 3.30. have to go for lunch

Your place is nice : goo.gl/J9CRiw (Just searched on Google)
 
so you're from karnataka
 
just searched my place and got this
This was done near by. years ago
 
10:03 AM
Why ?
 
The bus is on overspeed and hit an auto. some people died. So people burned the bus.
 
That's bad.
 
no. That's usuall
 
@redhand ?
 
we used to break glasses of bus and throw stones at them when we are on schools
for not stopping in bus stops near school or not allowing students to enter
 
10:05 AM
lol nice
 
but that's years ago when we're at 13-14
not now
how about our district
 
I'll give a visit soon.
 
@TheLittleNaruto where you're located in ka?
 
Capital city
 
bangalore?
 
10:12 AM
Yep

who will press enter for you?

no. but it is required to submit
 
@TheLittleNaruto based on the claims of one of my coworkers (which I assume would know this, having taken part in - and won - multiple Starcraft 2 competitions) that keyboard looks very close to the one Protoss usually use.

:O
That's new to me
 
search "Protoss keyboard" on google images. Seems to be a very common belief
 
 
1 hour later…
12:01 PM
@Derpy what about it? what brought it again?
 
12:16 PM
no idea what's the issue here grrr
 
@Derpy yeah checked.
 
@redhand rules applied by class won't appear there, the arrow points to inline style section.
See below for the "inherited from..." to see the class rules
 
@ShaWizDowArd yes but the style applied in css style should appear just below it.
there is nothing for the span inside the p tag;
the code is
.hdng_top {
         span {
            font-weight: bolder !important;
        }
    }
 
No bug, that's just how Chrome Dev Tools work.
There is no inline style.
 
@ShaWizDowArd and the css is not applied to element. I mean bolder font
 
12:23 PM
@redhand either it's illegal, or new to me... never saw such syntax of CSS.
 
it is scss
the same goes for less too
 
What I know is:
.hdng_top span {
    font-weight: bolder !important;
}
 
That is css ^
 
@redhand no idea what it is, so maybe Chrome doesn't know it.
Or at least can't track it in the dev tools.
 
@redhand You're working on IONIC ?
 
12:24 PM
It is processed before going to chrome by angular.
Chrome will get what you said
 
So probably Chrome just show the final CSS, not any fancy library used to generate it. :)
 
.hdng_top {
         span {
            font-weight: bolder !important;
        }
    }
will be ->
 
And that library might be bugged.
Good luck debugging! ;)
 
.hdng_top span {
            font-weight: bolder !important;
    }
 
@redhand will get if all works fine... that's the problem with complicated libraries, you can't tell when it's broken.
 
12:26 PM
@ShaWizDowArd I am using the same syntax in more than 100 places. Only this one got bugged
@TheLittleNaruto Angular 4
@TheLittleNaruto and probably ionic seems easy for me.
 
@redhand it was hard for me as I never worked on js/html/angular. I got a chance to work on an app which was on IONIC. That was just for once though.
 
Ionic 2+ is similar to angular 2/4
 
I was able to make that app but with too many bugs :P
 
@redhand well, probably something is overriding that somewhere...
 
only a few built in tags
@ShaWizDowArd If it is the case, it will show with a strike through in inspector
a debug on chrome is not possible because webpack will make this ugly while packing
 
12:32 PM
@redhand no I mean in the scss level, so it didn't generate the CSS you expected
just use pure CSS and be done with....
 
@ShaWizDowArd scss is like jQuery. It will save a lot of time and loc
 
@redhand so? It still got bugs. When jQuery fails for me, I just use pure JavaScript patch instead of spending hours/days trying to debug jQuery.
1 minute instead of 1000
 
Which company do you work for ? @redhand (Reply only if you live in capital city.)
 
@TheLittleNaruto in a capital city. (But not in kerala. In tamilnadu)
 
Ok nvm then.
 
12:39 PM
@TheLittleNaruto hakunamatata.in
will css make any problem if the selector rendered after some time?
That's the only reason I can find
@Sha ^
 
@ShaWizDowArd the comments about trolls seeking to get noticed. May be true for some, but many just feed on tears
funny. This one question just came up during a work break early this morning, and now by chance I saw this link

On the data team here at Stack Overflow, we spend a lot of time and energy thinking about tech ecosystems and how technologies are related to each other. We use these kinds of relationships all over the place, from making the user experience of everyone coming to Stack Overflow better by suggesting relevant content to helping our clients understand how to hire developers. One way to get at this idea of relationships between technologies is tag correlations. Correlation between tags measures how often tags appear together relative to how often they appear separately.

1:07 PM
@redhand Looks like another mod handled it
 
dunno why recent blog SO posts don't seem interesting to me
 
@Elias Probably because they arn't about the network any more
 
a good chunk of them are SO/data science or careers clickbait
I kinda prefer the engineering side stuff, and the sort of stuff Jeff used to write
 
@redhand maybe... not CSS guru...
@SmokeDetector gone
@Derpy oh. Well, I don't think trolls try to make others more unhappy than themselves. At least that's not their main goal.
It's more about attention and causing a mess.
 
@ShaWizDowArd that depends on the definition of troll you are going by. Atlas, I still adhere to my original claim that many of the troll do linger on the subtle difference between laughing with somebody and laughing at somebody.
 
@Derpy laughing at somebody will make them more bullies than trolls
 
nothing wrong with laughing with someone
most of my jokes are like that
 
1:49 PM
@ShaWizDowArd yep, that was what I meant. Even the definition of "internet troll" isn't exactly clear. Wikipedia states:
> In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.
this by itself wouldn't be cyber bulling by its strict definition. Yet the same wikipedia defines Internet trolling as a form of cyber bulling....
so it all depends on where you put the line.
 
Yeah it's very subtle
 
that said, IMHO even the not-bulling trolls are more interested in having fun by annoying people than to get noticed. Getting noticed is a trigger only because the fact that others acknowledge their presence is - in a way - a recognition that they did had the "power" to influence those other life.
 
I joke, they laugh, I don't.
 
@Derpy but if people don't get annoyed... there's no fun
 
anyway, looks like we need to call our 31337 troll @Telkitty
 
1:56 PM
@JourneymanGeek and again, that means that the annoyance is the purpose, not the media. The reaction and recognition is just the observable result of them being annoyed. Since you need to know they were annoyed you need their reaction, but the reaction is not the focus. The reason of the reaction is (- again IMHO).
 
@Elias bah, she's not acting like a troll anymore for long time. :(
Think we tamed her.
Need to find new troll! :D
 
why tim is always hiding behind the gravatar?
 
Jan 26 '11 at 1:05, by Tim Stone
@YiJiang Shhh, I'm hiding! I don't remember doing anything particularly bad, but I'm not sure, so just in case.
Hiding for over 6.5 years...
@TimStone do you remember now? ;)
 
@ShaWizDowArd maybe he stole TimPost's keys
 
@JourneymanGeek you mean he traveled to the future and did it? Yes... this makes perfect sense!
 
2:08 PM
@ShaWizDowArd that's why he dosen't remember.
 
@JourneymanGeek can't know, maybe people who travel in time do remember everything.
 
@ShaWizDowArd unless they all didn't
 
I'll find a time traveler and ask them.
 
@ShaWizDowArd how would they know if they forgot?
 
@JourneymanGeek they would know they forgot, so will travel back to remember
 
2:09 PM
then they forget again
and they're stuck in a loop
 
This might cause infinite loop though.
That would be nasty.
Might make the universe CPU (which of course handles time travel) reach 100%
 
yesterday, by redhand
well actually I came from the future. More precisely, from 2035.

There were many things happened in the past 5 years (from 2030 to 2035) and the market share of almost all IT companies went down. to overcome this, all of the companies increased their service charges, changed many licenses and stopped providing many free services. This make people stop using those languages and hence the companies had to face a loss in programming language share and they stopped their support to those languages.

^ **PLEASE** I beg of you, @Oded /@WhoeverWillWorkOnHatsThisYear..... make this happen.
Implement the fabled "Trollolollo Crown" that you will get by pinging @Telkitty 10 times on chat.
 
2:25 PM
@Derpy 100 times
 
She wanted the crown, give her the crown... @hairboat style
 
Was @Undo hired by SE???
 
@ShaWizDowArd nope, that is just me wanting to ping shog and pinging undo instead. Fixed thanks
 
LOL
But... how... @Derpy
"u" is far away from "s"
 
@ShaWizDowArd self-preservation automatic trigger.
 
2:28 PM
only "o" is common between the names...
@Derpy smart trigger. Replace Shog ping with Undo ping, low level.
 
@ShaWizDowArd was made by the same team that made the "reallocate smokey smoke to Shadow's Den" routine.
 
Well, I doubt @Shog has much impact on the hats... he must be too busy. I'm pretty sure there will be no hats this year. :(
 
@Derpy pinging @Telkitty 10 times in chat is easy
I mean pinging @Telkitty 9 times
oops I meant pinging @Telkitty 8 times
So what's up @telkitty?
4 and counting
 
@Michelle nah, still doesn't mean anything. @balpha might be referring to unicorn hats. Or hats he's buying for his family.
 
2:32 PM
So, where are you located at @Telkitty?
 
@redhand now do the math: stackUsers*10 = number of pings for Telkitty
 
Europe? Asia? US? /cc @Telkitty
@Derpy that will be a huge for @Telkitty
But I think she/he will manage it. right @Telkitty?
 
@redhand ANTARTICA!
 
The Trolololo hat can be unique, shared by several users. Given to anyone who pinged @Telkitty as long as it reached 100 pings.
 
@redhand thats somewhat annoying.
@redhand I mean, like, really duuuuuude
 
2:33 PM
@redhand try again when Winter Bash is on
 
Ok @Telkitty I will ping you 10 times when winterbash started
finally this is the 10th ping for @Telkitty
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@redhand just ten times wouldn't be enough. It is a troll hat, so to be sure it didn't got implemented everypony should ping Telkitty multiple times. Who knows....
 
@JourneymanGeek nooo
@JourneymanGeek don't think so
 
Maybe only users with an odd user ID can get it....
 
@Elias setting remainder
 
2:36 PM
maybe you have to ping her on ten separate sites
 
@JourneymanGeek bah, you miss apostrophes again
 
maybe on ten separate boards...
 
@redhand remain: 10 counts
 
@ShaWizDowArd I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED I WAS A MOD too
I was actually thinking of it.
 
All fixed now

nope

As far as I know, and I'm a swagologist
 
I know Jan and uni, but not John :p (at least, I didn't notice he changed username)
 
Well he didn't post since changing, just few comments on MSE...
 
There's swag for elections (winning), being on the first page on a graduated site (with a design?) , contests (mostly random ones on SO these days?) 100k and 250k reputation.

@Elias no, you are not. You are called Temmie.
 
@Elias bob's a fox
 
@JourneymanGeek contests are part of winter fun, always made in December as far as I know
 
@ShaWizDowArd was thinking the old SU anniversery ones
 
oh
Not aware of those
 
and that so hashtag one
(which was recent)

@JourneymanGeek same as me.

@ShaWizDowArd I AM THE REAL FOX!!!
 
@ShaWizDowArd no. recently @ItamarG3 got one on cseducators
 
(some context - I've always had my dog as my ava, and people joke I'm a dog, so I chat in charecter. So on root access, folk often have consistant animal avas... bob's always a fox, there's two people who're usually cats, our bot's a skinjob...)
 
@ShaWizDowArd See my tail
 
@redhand well it wasn't fun event... it was something to help the site grow.
fun event is like writing story, drawing something, etc
No real value whatsoever :D
 
2:55 PM
yup
anyway, no swag for flags
 
fun event is to plug a UPS into itself
 
@JourneymanGeek maybe cuffs? To remind you what will happen if you keep flagging too much? :D
SE cuffs
 
@Elias nothing will happen
It is liking plugging a powerback to itself
 
@redhand you.... didn't get the reference right?
 
@Derpy I don't think @red was around when it happened
 
2:58 PM
get off my lawn ;p
 
user315433
@JourneymanGeek With a design. No design, no site-specific swag to send.
 
Good point...
 
@Michelle yup
 
Maybe beta swag?
 
but designs for new sites seem to have slowed down a lot?
 
2:59 PM
Stopped, not slowed down.
