@Telkitty masterpiece ...

5:01 AM

I think this is the first time I want to ignore a user's posts on SE lol

The user is not a troublemaker per se, and has relatively good contributions

It's just... dunno. Seeing the avatar made me want to punch the avatar

5:47 AM

Virtual violence. You're not in a first-person shooter, you know ...

6:57 AM

@bjb568 getting big end of a stick isn't always a good thing. ;)

@Disney umm... who? Hopefully not someone here?

And only because of the avatar??

@ShadowWizard currently not here, but had been here

...

how many guesses do I get? ;)

hmm.... someone who was here.... with weird/bad avatar.....

@nicael?

lol, nope, he's cool

I think Jason had the same feeling about this particular user

Oh, I think I know. Starting with "P"?

@ShadowWizard unfortunately no

but close

and currently not pingable

7:04 AM

@Disney yeah, figured as much when you said "currently not here, but had been here". :)

yay! hint!

huh? Starting with "S"? @Dis

Yeah...

What's so irritating about him? He's just... pedantic. :)

probably :)

but perhaps, it's about his self-answer Q&A on some sites...

I'll come visit you in jail. ;)

user202362

@ShadowWizard end in jail ... where?

Guantanamo Bay detention camp

The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, also referred to as Guantánamo or GTMO (pronounced "git-mo"'), which fronts on Guantánamo Bay in Cuba. Since the inmates have been detained indefinitely without trial and several inmates were severely tortured, this camp is considered as a major breach of human rights by Amnesty International. The camp was established by the President George W. Bush's administration in 2002 during the War on Terror. His successor, President Barack Obama, promised that he would close it, but met strong...

For making fake news

@Telkitty so he'll give you USA citizenship first.

Of course not! Although us 1337 tr011s have been treated rather inhumanely ... suffered plenty of bullying and humiliations online. We have been repeated violated and mistreated. There has been no apologies from the authority, none!!

Now that SO no longer has a direct link to Meta.SE in the footer, we might see fewer programming questions here...

You are assuming that's where they come from.

Also - there is a direct link. Only behind an extra click.

omg I searched for something and I ended up on stackoverflow document

lemme check out how great it is :p

@Telkitty congrats! You're a programmer.

Just don't forget to upvote!

:D

Is this the start of SO Docs golden age!?

oh wait, you mean Documentation? @Telkitty

Is this indexed by search engines at all??

I thought it failed.

> ("Fresher" is an adjective that refers to how you smell, not your skill level.)

2:50 PM

@ShadowWizard Yes, it's indexed, but currently it's low rank

Mar 23 at 6:09, by Jon Ericson

It's indexed, but Docs isn't being returned high in the results just yet. We can probably change that, but it's not worth driving traffic to the content. Some topics are pretty good, but many are not.

oh wow not bad:

@rene hmm? source? context?

W3Schools is better ranked

@ShadowWizard out of context

Google has it, otherwise check MSO

> British. informal term for freshman. -- Google Define

@rene actually Google gave me @Cody answer.

ooo, a late drama

2:54 PM

never a dull moment on MSO

user315433

Quite possibly, Google's page ranking algorithm ties sources and keywords together, so that stackoverflow.com is considered a good source re: javascript on the strength of its Q&A part.

getting SO Docs as a result is still difficult though, but probably because the things inside the Docs also exist on official docs, which... sometimes defeat the purpose

@Walt correct. duckduckgo search gives back this downvoted question on SO.

No documentation at all there.

Q: What color bikes for Guys?

I know color is a personal choice but today when I told my significant other that I wanted to get a red bike for myself she said - "Red bike for a guy ?? !!" Obviously guys will not get pink but other than the famous black what color bikes should guys look for?

I tend to stick with Amazon Music (because of Prime) but Google Music has its perks... like the "Looks like it's raining" suggestions for a rainy day.

user315433

Neither one has a way of automatically arranging soundtrack from a given movie, though...

ɥʇǝS

6:12 PM

@Walt it's annoying now with Amazon Music Unlimited tho

Prime Music is basically became a gimmick

user315433

Eh, I still get most of what I want on Prime. Which at this moment was the Over the Edge soundtrack‌, of which Prime has 8.5/11 tracks. (0.5 because I replaced the last track by its original version, rather than the cover used in the film.)

user315433

Maybe it's different if you are after recent releases.

Kaitlin Pike on June 27, 2017

If you go anywhere on stackoverflow.com today, you’ll notice a brand new footer, new About pages, and possibly a few other surprises we’re still testing out (not everyone will see these yet).

Back in February, we updated our top navigation, and today’s changes follow in the footsteps of this effort. We wanted to make it easier for developers to find what they need so they can learn, share, and build their careers. We also needed to make our company information more accessible to press, and to surface our product offerings for customers. …

"7 Visits Average Per User, Each Month" - that doesn't seem right (from here)

Unless I just don't understand what that number is supposed to communicate.

(which is not unlikely)

number of times an average person who visits Stack Overflow visits Stack Overflow in a month

Andy

large number of single visits by millions of people

People in this room are at the very end of the tail for visits per month

Actually, @jadarnel27 visits the site 49 million times in a month, and the other 7 million of us just check in once and never leave.

Then Update Day comes around, we reboot, and a new month begins.

Andy

Someone needs to optimize their visits. Or get a new F5 key

jadarnel27

I'm hoping to break 50 million / month by August, @Shog9.

Maybe if I do that, it will force Nick Craver to write another blog post: "What it takes to run Stack Overflow for jadarnel27 specifically"

Thanks to both of you for the sanity check. I clearly can't see past my own site usage bias to imagine that most people only visit the site via Google a few times a month =)

So much for stats one could compare like in Comparison of network statistics, 2014 vs 2015

user315433

Now we get the stats that are easily obtained from the site itself (total # of Q and A), and fake "got help" number.

user315433

A user who opened 15 tabs and still hasn't found what they were looking for (that'd be me on some days) was "helped" 15 times.

user315433

At least the footer is better than it was.
