Tavern on the Meta

12:24 AM

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog It reported it, just didn't give you feedback in here. The Charcoal team has minimized what Smokey says in here so if you don't get a "you're not privileged to do this" message, it's safe to consider it reported...

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Catija Ah, was wondering that. I did a similar thing in CHQ and got an immediate return message

John Dvorak

should smokey always report to the room where he was commanded from to report?

Mithrandir

meh

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@JohnDvorak Probably a good idea for a feature-request

Mithrandir

Tavern reports are delayed intentionally

Catija

12:26 AM

The reports only populate in here after five minutes, I think?

Mithrandir

Why should !!/reports be any different?

John Dvorak

so that you get feedback to your actions

Catija

If you want feedback, the feedback can be turned on... doesn't need to have the report show up.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Catija Then turn it on

quartata

FWIW manual reports have never bypassed the delay

It's not a bug

Technical Communication... you can tell that a proposal is mostly SE / Area 51 regulars by comparing the activity of its main and meta sites. The number of questions: 25:9. Compare to Stellar with 113:13.

user315433

The site proposal was originally titled Documentation but was renamed because of a certain ill-fated experiment.

@if.... Actually, it was refocused later to cover things like oral communication, to prevent it from being closed as a duplicate of Writers.

@if.... Didn't Stellar reach 100% commitment within two days? Is that the record, if so?

It's accusing the people attempting to help of being "crazy", after we tried to guide him on his two other deleted answers there.

...which also included things like "What's wrong with you people?"

Anyway, it's gone now.

@bluefeet as you have some access to the prod db now and a minute to spare would you mind giving me an hint here on how much the SEDE db size for StackOverflow is different from the production db size of StackOverflow? All numbers in bytes on disk.

@rene yup

there, stupid formatting

rene

@bluefeet does that include logging since 2008 or so? That is way bigger then I expected.

@bluefeet thanks!

@rene that's a straight query of select name, type_desc, size from sys.database_files

5:38 PM

Just out of curiosity, what do you think of a proposal to allow moderators to mark a chat room as "do not freeze"?

In other words, prevent a room from freezing even if it meets the criteria

Andy

Why would you need that feature?

rene

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog having it unfrozen is frictionless if you prepared for that upfront with a mod. We let the SOCVR Roommeetng chatroom freeze and then flag for a mod before the next meeting to have it defrosted.

It wouldn't need a mark or so, me thinks.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Andy Several official chat rooms for certain sites get frozen unnecessarily (e.g. Area 51). Also, unfreezing doesn't count as new activity, so it's possible that a room can get frozen immediately after a mod unfreezes it

Also, The Assembly, a room whose one of its explicit intents is a place where you can request a mod to unfreeze any room, sometimes itself gets frozen

(Just a quick side question: are mods able to manually freeze rooms, or are all freezes automatic?)

Andy

Mods can freeze a room

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Catija Just received a strange email about a skeleton found at Pickle...what's happening?

Catija

6:58 PM

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Eww?

I don't have any additional info... just what's in the email... there's a reason one of the streets at UT is "Robert De[a]dman Drive"?

Shog9

sounds like if UT had a mod who'd been able to freeze the correct room you'd have a corpse instead of a skeleton

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog yes

Catija

> Skeletal remains have been found in what appears to have once been a transient camp in a wooded area on the West Pickle Research Campus, located 9 miles north of UT's main campus. There is no evidence of foul play.

Please avoid the West Pickle Research Campus area.

There is no threat to the UT main campus or the Pickle Research campuses at this time.

For the curious... There's not really much to it.

@Shog9 Or if UT was somewhere that actually froze?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Shog9 "If so, why don't I see this in the revision history, even on questions where it was publicly visible before?"

If the answer is "because there's no point", then why was it previously publicly visible for a time?

Shog9

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog it's not a publicly-visible revision entry

entirely possible it was for a while

I'd have to check

9,223,372,036,854,775,807

The number 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 is an integer equal to 263 − 1. Its prime factorization is 72 · 73 · 127 · 337 · 92737 · 649657, which is equal to Φ1(2) · Φ3(2) · Φ7(2) · Φ9(2) · Φ21(2) · Φ63(2). == In computing == The number 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, equivalent to the hexadecimal value 7FFF,FFFF,FFFF,FFFF16, is the maximum value for a 64-bit signed integer in computing. It is therefore the maximum value for a variable declared as a long integer (long, long long int, or bigint) in many programming languages running on modern computers. The presence of the value may reflect an error, overflow...

Even has its own Wikipedia article.

That seems a lot.

Yup he changed name.

Well, I did the same when I got married.

Changed the surname, though not to the wife's name, but a different name. Long story.

@ShadowtheHedgehogWizard Wha? My email was from animuson...

Shadow the Hedgehog Wizard

@Catija yeah, saw it now on PC too, saw it first on phone where there's no picture so didn't know it's him

In Israel it's common to change "unreadable" surname to something more simple.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@ShadowtheHedgehogWizard Ah, in India and here in the States it's common for the wife to change her name, while the husband's name remains the same. It's a rather sexist practice in my opinion, and I prefer the French practice of making no changes whatsoever

Shadow the Hedgehog Wizard

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog same here, what I did was uncommon.

But the moose became an elk, interesting.
