So, a little question for the room: if you have a web application that shows a table with some filters and you perform pagination server side and sorting client (javascript) side.... what will happen? Will it work? Because apparently this must be really hard to guess....
Any decent back-end API should receive parameters that allow some customization or filtering of the results it gives back to the client. For something that returns a list, it's usually common to provide:
parameters for ordering (ASC or DESC) based on some field criteria;
parameters for paginati...
I still don't get how the api "try it" section returned less than 9999 on my first query of the day if I haven't done this on that page in years. I don't think I have any userscripts that call the api without my knowledge...
I've tried posting in the sandbox, commenting and editing but that doesn't decrease the counter
I just noticed that on some sites only a couple users have access to stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/site-analytics site analytics because of how small the sites are and how little activity allows to earn enough rep to access that, and I wonder if that's beneficial to restrict high level privileges like that
At least the current one has two variants, so it's less confusing than having different ones for each site... and what would you do if a site over time becomes more active, or less active?
Hmm. But that would mean people get privileges when they may not be ready, or lose them and with that you lose a portion of the userbase that does the moderating...
maybe take into account the total rep on all sites, not just on that one site? like if you have 50k overall, it's counted as 10k rep towards privileges on all other sites?
you still know how to use the tools you have access to, on other sites, presumably
I get that there are moderation culture differences between sites and that requires some adjustment but that's a different issue and I think users with that high rep on one site would know that by that point
One other thing I'm afraid of, is people using this kind of things to put their own stamp on a community without ever becoming a 'real' part of it (meaning that they contribute questions, answers, knowledge)...
@user1306322 Yeah, perhaps, but in this case it's people that actually in some way or another earned the high rep on the site they are defining... not people from other sites ;)
I keep thinking "but if a user is that high rep, then they have already proven that they know what's good for the site" -- but no, I seem to be thinking of moderators, and even then people can disagree with some of moderator decisions
yea it's not a simple issue
I suppose counting other site rep towards privileges on a given site is not the best approach
Yeah, even moderator don't always know... One thing I try to keep in mind (but often forget until it's too late) is that if you have a new user on your site that seems like a valuable member, you can always bounty their posts a little towards more privileges.
still, I have issue with potential to earn rep to reach thresholds to be considered even a trusted user (10k) on certain sites, which limits your ability to fix typos and such without having to go through the review queue, although I suppose if the site's activity is that low, there's nothing else to do and it's not really a big problem anyway :p
do 2k tools not allow instant tag editing or something? or is inline tag editing somehow more resource-expensive than using the full-size question editing page?

@Catija I have the same with dogs and their dinner time.
@user1306322 yes. If you have to edit the whole post, you might remember to actually check whether the post content needs help. If you can quick-edit tags, you might just ignore the body.
@user1306322 it’s worth remembering that the privileges were created based on assumptions that may not reflect reality. Also, apparently some are there just to make the privilege more interesting... apparently that’s why usercard expansion is a privilege.
I’m guessing I’ll end up with the taming of the shrew kids. Older one is introverted and withdrawn and younger is a big people person. I won’t require Bennett to get married before Gus, though... that’s just weird. 😂
@Catija my son (almost 7) keeps saying he won't get married. Reasons changing, current reason is "because I don't want to have fights like you and mommy have". o_O
@SPArchaeologist-様 I added it to the previous message since other messages made it be out of context. It was just "It's the same as going to parties, maybe even "worse. ;)"
I see that it's considered to be a big faux pas to use it, but I'm not completely certain of the social rules here
I'm only familiar with that the american/western public considers it a bad tone, but myself being from another country of origin, it's kind of a ... learned thing? for me
I figured a CM decided it was a step too far. If it's possible, I'd like to learn exactly why
The issue to me is - similar to calling people "literal nazis" on the internet - that first of all the situations such statements are pasted on generally don't deserve it. And furthermore they show a great misunderstanding, historical ignorance or what not about the atrocities faced by those who underwent the actual Nazi regime.
@user1306322 not just that. Imagine talking to a holocaust survivor and saying "that's nothing, did you ever have your diamond removed on SO?" ... you don't get to trivialize it like that.
@user1306322 It’s been trotted out at least twice before over the last month. It’s inappropriate and hurtful to some. I don’t think it’s furthering constructive discussion.
If someone wants to answer the question by saying that speaking out is the right response when you’re dealing with injustice... then say that. There’s no reason to use a touching poem in a loaded situation.
@mag I will even assume iBug didn't mean it like that. But there are certain parts of our world history we should not forget about, nor trivialize. Even if it's by accident.
@rene Update on solar debacle: it's been a week, and no action from them about defamation countersuit. I'm thinking more and more it was an idle threat.
I'm seeing inappropriate proposed edits to questions which are intended to be messages sent to OP or anyone who can read suggested edits, is that a thing on MSO only, among all meta sites?
@djsmiley2k-CoW been there too, yeah. This hatred vanish magically when you give him something he wants though, be it favorite food, a sweet/snack, TV, etc. :)
somebody out there is aware of the heated discussion and how this works and are sending people these wack edit suggestion / direct messages, I've already seen 3 today
