@Derpy Okay, so new thread for you: I saw this (Dutch) news video this morning. A while ago, a big shipping ship lost a few (270) containers of stuff, and they opened and now there's all sorts of stuff washing up on Dutch coasts. One of the things is MLP figurines. A real-life pony farm now has opened up what apparently is a 'My Little Pony Rescue Center' where people can turn in the ponies, they are cleaned up, and then people can 'adopt' them again :)
@ShadowThePrincessWizard while I appreciate the joke (and you should be really worried that you just made that)... sea ponies are actually a real "race" in the show.
How is an image of a real person worse than what you have now, which is described as: "Saved from daphnemaia.com Elf Wizard Art Beautiful sorceress Mage Female Dark Fantasy Robe".
This 1990 Russian(?) version of the poster for Star Wars: A New Hope is somewhat different from Western versions.
Assuming Darth Vader is the one in the middle, who are the characters along the left and right hand side of the frame?
Or it could be " hey poster guy, draw a poster with a bunch of aliens and a guy made of metal, they fight with energy swords of different colors" or then again, movie posters could be highly interpretive in that area, which would be kind of cool in it's way. I just feel like the person who made this may have heard of the characters but never actually saw them. Or maybe never heard of them either is possible too. It's just so out there. I think the message is clear: this movie is going to be interesting. Although 4 could be a Star Destroyer with an evil all seeing imperial eye. — IntegrationFeb 22 '17 at 0:34
> In 1990, Star Wars was finally released in Russia. At that time, local artists produced posters for foreign movies without any knowledge of the films, which led to some unique designs. This rare poster describes the movie as a “galactic Western” and features an imaginary image by Yury Bokser dominated by an unusual depiction of what could be Jabba the Hut and the Death Star with stars shooting out from the centre.
Presumably because given the content it was very very likely to cause an issue and there's no need to keep stuff around that is going to cause a problem.
That... and the comments really weren't headed anywhere constructive, which was an indication that the post itself wasn't exactly going to fare better.
Not really very constructive. I don't mind answering questions but if you're going to do that kind of stuff as a response... You're neither helping yourself (people will feel less inclined to answer) or others.
Ed note: This is a part of series where an author plays both sides of an issue, one of which is obviously terrible. Can you guess which is which?
Our industry needs to own up to something we’ve all known for a long time: whiteboard coding interviews suck. At best, they’re ineffective at measuring a candidate’s capacity and aptitude for the real day-to-day work of a developer, and at worst they’re an inhumane ritual that amounts to little more than fraternity hazing.
I have never, in over 20 years as a professional developer, had a single project that required me to stand at a whiteboard and impl …
I have to work with Angular too for one of the projects, luckily we have a dedicated freelancer who's responsible for it though, so when I get stuck I throw it back at him. :D
@Glorfindel In my view, the bug tag is for things where the system's intended operationalization doesn't work right unintentionally. The application of that tag seemed inappropriate. (cc @Shadow @rene)
When I made the first tag edit, I failed to notice it was in the actual system's operationalization, and thought it was just an opinion expressed by SE in some forum, and for that reason I tagged it as a discussion.
I realize that that was incorrect, but the first thing still applies, so I've retagged it as a feature-request. In other words, a request to change the design of the system.
Also, I've seen discussion and support questions tagged with status tags, so I didn't think too much into that at the time, but I now realize that the discussion tag is incorrect.
Arguably it is everything (3 of the 4), except a "bug". IE: He wants a discussion about a feature-request, and support to either make the change or explain why not; everything, but.
... my search-fu is failing me today. If anyone can remember a question about the mobile view not having the protect notice for users who can't answer, I'd appreciate it.
I'm trying to answer a question via the Android app, but I can't seem to find an answer button or instructions / reasons for why there isn't one.
I see the question and its existing answers, but simply no "Add Answer" button anywhere, and no banner/message explaining why.
I later realized the q...
Especially given how easy it is to farm rep off asking unhelpful, but easy questions, then collecting upvotes from the couple of answerers who FGITW before it's either closed or forgotten, plus accept bonus.
the avg question isn't going to go viral and get a bunch of "interesting" upvotes
well, that's what the rep cap is for
i wonder what the avg rep i got per upvote is on my top rated answer
it rep capped me for nearly a week
12 days in a row of rep cap
lol
anyway, my point is more that the most "useful" questions are often questions that are rather poorly researched, if we take score as a good measure of usefulness.
they're often not very specific, not tied to a particular piece of code, more general questions that are often closed/downvoted. But when they receive a great answer, they flourish.
the way the reputation graph presents my reputation for those two weeks are weird, how i can hit the rep cap, then through some kind of magic end the day under the cap, then on other days push above it due to regaining rep on those days that i lost downvoting answers.
