Morning! Quick question... has anyone ever noticed a small pink-ish line in the top center of the comment box when adding a comment? Here's what I saw: i.stack.imgur.com/kSia2.png

But now I can't reproduce it...

@M.A.R. blame the sun

:)

@Rob maybe!

rene

@ShadowWizardWearingMask just a glitch at your end ...

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

:/

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMask I haven't seen that on comments, do you think it's related to the broken expander on the Q&A editor box?:

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Rob expander?

Rob

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

6:41 AM

Anyway, turns out the fix for old time bug in code which I didn't write myself was to remove one line... which cleared some array.

rene

Keep your arrays clean is in general good advice

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Rob nah, can't see any relation. Comments textbox has no expander...

Rob

You're supposed to be able to grab that and resize the box, but it's been broken for me as long as it has existed.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@rene keeping everything clean is even better advice. :P

@Rob well, that's browser thing...

What browser? @Rob

Rob

Probably, does it work for you? -- FF

rene

6:43 AM

@Rob works for me in Chrome

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizardWearingMask The sun can do that? Did your hair get tanned or something?

Rob

Hmmm, I'll have to try sometime, thanks rene.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Rob ohh.... ditch FF, move to Chrome. ;)

@M.A.R. on second thought.... might be the light. lol

Q: Kiss me for 100 dollars?

I am baffled by the usage of "for" in the following sentence: A girl asks a guy "Would you kiss me for 100 dollars?" Does she mean: A: You kiss me and you get 100 dollars or B: You give me 100 dollars and you can kiss me?

Tinkeringbell

> The girl actually knows the answer, and depending on what that answer is, you could've been up a hundred bucks by now. None of us here know the answer, and none of us in here will pay you even just a nickel. Do people now refuse to talk to girls even if there's potentially a $100 in it for them? Humanity.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Tinkeringbell

6:51 AM

Comment is gold too :P

M.A.R.

@Rob I . . . have no idea what to make of that

Rob

^^^^ Amusingly that means both, so you break even; besides a hun gets more than that.

Probably the price is higher due to C19

Tinkeringbell

No clue. I've heard rumors that prices might rise though, I've seen it happen for hairdressers.

M.A.R.

Same diff

Rob

So, Brazilian Wax price quadruples ...

M.A.R.

6:59 AM

Only the kind Bolsonaro applies to his hair

Tinkeringbell

Perhaps. Hairdressers haven't quadrupled their prices over here... but there's definitely been an increase because they've lost income for a few months and can't make that up right now. So, just to break even, they had to increase prices.

Rob

The Internet says 50€ for 15 minutes in Amsterdam, this month - seems low.

Tinkeringbell

I have no clue what prices were before XD

And did they reopen the red ilght district already?! I thought that was supposed to happen a lot later :/

Rob

Many decades ago, when I was a teenager, it was that much; in the expensive part of town.

Tinkeringbell

@Rob Yeah, but that would've been guldens then. Which means prices have doubled since then... a single euro is 2.20 gulden ;)

Also, thanks for clearing our comments.

Tinkeringbell

Heh yeah... thought I'd write up a quick comment instead of an answer because it's almost too simple for an answer (and, if the Q gets downvoted into oblivion, not having an upvoted answers allows for self-deletion)... but you're right. Answers are answers ;)

Is it time to give Drupal another look?

Ryan Donovan on June 23, 2020

For many people discussion of content management systems raises unpleasant specters of the early 2000s. But while CMS platforms may not feel like the shiniest new tech on the block, they still have a lot to offer, and they’ve evolved in ways that might surprise you. Let’s talk about Drupal, a 20 year old open source project that still manages to be on the leading edge of the CMS world.

user400654

no, it's not

LinkBerest

@Tinkeringbell I actually had upvoted that before you answered (or I commented) just because I had the thought when they first started this - why SO? (there are smaller sites where this is also a problem if you really want a decent test - this seems like a cannonball into the ocean after chumming the water)

I knew the answer of course (SO is the only site that matters to SE) but it still seemed a weird choice to me

Tinkeringbell

@LinkBerest It's probably also a matter of scale. Sure, smaller sites get the occasional thank-you-for-this-answer comment too, but I guess SO is the one where you'd get enough data to also have it statistically mean something :|

user400654

Right, the author's page does, but it doesn't in the article. it's hidden, that's my issue with it. Before, that would be noted right at the beginning

Sounds like a MSE/MSO question to me...

user400654

2:41 PM

Rob

It is free software, but as an associate one cannot help but wonder if there's a financial interest ...

John Dvorak

user400654 is right. Generic contributors aren't allowed to promote with undisclosed affiliation, and the best way to support that rule is to lead by example.

Rob

It differs from my mention of GNU or GCC, for which I receive no renumeration; though you are forced to use it (or benefit from it) if you own a cellphone, and some (but not all) computer programs:

GNU

GNU ( (listen)) is an operating system and an extensive collection of computer software. GNU is composed wholly of free software, most of which is licensed under the GNU Project's own General Public License (GPL). GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix!", chosen because GNU's design is Unix-like, but differs from Unix by being free software and containing no Unix code.The GNU project includes an operating system kernel, GNU Hurd, which was the original focus of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). However, given the Hurd kernel's status as not yet production-ready, non-GNU kernels, most...

LinkBerest

@Tinkeringbell yeah, I thought about that but it doesn't ring true (the smaller sites allow for a proof of concept). The problem I see is they saw Teams as the proof of concept (I've sent emails through Teams requesting ways to remove reactions and the result is we are leaving Stack because you cannot disable it and the regulations we operate under do not allow these)

Tinkeringbell

Well, at this point I have reached the end of conjecture... I think they picked SO because it would give more/better data over smaller sites. But it's really just that, conjecture.

I do know about Teams and that when it was rolled out there, there was some post stating they might come to the network too.. but I don't know if Teams really was the proof of concept.

LinkBerest

2:57 PM

Journeyman Geek

@BlueSoul what do you use to log in?

google?

there is a SE native login method using your email and a password

BlueSoul

nope, I use the native login. What I meant is that before from my experience it listed a single line with the email address I used to create the native login.

now I get 4 lines, two for the native logins and two with the words "Stack Exchange", almost if I had 4 logins

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@BlueSoul kudos!

Oh, ok - they are dupes, so now both logins are listed two times. Maybe it was intended to work this way, I don't know.

LinkBerest

3:16 PM

@djsmiley2kStaysInside note, I also know other people in regular business (mostly aviation) who hate reactions because they moved to Stackoverflow Teams over Slack because it didn't have emojis which they feel hurt productivity (and at least one added a "employee will not use reactions" rule)

BlueSoul

I have confirmed that both first two link take me to the change password screen for the first native account, and the last two to the other one. So they are just listed two times for some reason. Weird.

I was one of those when I worked at one of the companies (we were using Slack at the time and made a "No emoji chat" channel back then which the majority of the devs and engineers preferred to use)

djsmiley2kStaysInside

....

that's a really weird thing to get annoyed at

now, if someone tried to communicate only in emoji's, I'd stab them in the eye

but.... just... what

get on with your work.

Thje gifs in MS Teams are annoying, for the first 10 seconds of a big chat.... but I work with people who have the ability not to be annoying ****s and keep posting things.

So I really don't 'get it'

LinkBerest

you don't have to: its their shop. They don't like it so they don't use it and disallow it. My shop doesn't have a choice because of the regulation we work under (which just straight disallow it according to our contact). The point is if these people want to turn it off they should have an admin option to do so (MS Teams had one and is adding it back) and right now they don't and it seems like there's no movement to add that

note, in the shop I worked with: OPS and Customer Service also had access to the Slack channel and so over-used the gifs & emojis it really was just social media and very annoying when you were actually trying to get work done so it was more that just "using any emojis annoys me"

terdon

Long words can't be impolite

Now if it was %^&, I would have definitely flagged it

% would have caused me to rage quit

Big emoji's are the best.

I used to have a room where it was a bit of a habit to post them...

@Mithical Wonders if that's "Barriers to collaboration or participation". Doesn't really seem to meet the explanation given though...

M.A.R.

As with all the da-best things, people overuse them and you're suddenly 🤮 when you see a 😆

Tinkeringbell

Hmm. Disappointing, that one is tiny...

And that one too, gawd it's so overused it sometimes feels like it means the opposite

Tinkeringbell

I shall strive to find the least used emoji and post it here.

LinkBerest

🔤

Tinkeringbell

According to Google:

@LinkBerest Right :P But too tiny ;)

LinkBerest

if you can still see it: its too big :P ;)

Spevacus

@LinkBerest Hahaha Can you image a post written with emoji as big as these though?

@Spevacus Either it's all a quote, or none is :P

Spevacus

:(

Multiline is evil
Multiline is how Shelob trapped Harry Potter

Or was it Austin Powers?

Hmm, maybe it was Shaggy

Tinkeringbell

yabba-dabba-doo?

M.A.R.

Which one says weird stuff in a made up language and saves their skin?

Spevacus

Was that before or after Danny Phantom saved Narnia?

M.A.R.

4:40 PM

Oh, I should be more specific?

Spevacus

Something something time turner plot lines.

LinkBerest

@Tinkeringbell lol, yes actually (my aunt uses the zoom magnifier so she doesn't have to wear her glasses and facebook posts are amusing when that big)

Tinkeringbell

@Spevacus Before, but I think it was after Coyote caught Ernie.

@LinkBerest Ahhh. Yeah, that makes sense ;)

John Dvorak

@M.A.R. any Python programmer

M.A.R.

@JohnDvorak No cigar unless they look famished and nerdy, with big glasses.

Then they can be the protagonists

and a scar

LinkBerest

@M.A.R. Presto, the magician? (or really anyone who remembers playing a magician in D&D)

Yaakov Ellis

@Mithical would be helpful if users link to the context of their poems. Some of them I can't figure out

M.A.R.

Professor Calculus?

LinkBerest

There is only one "Professor" and his name is Farnsworth!

I actually forgot about Tin-Tin though (my dad used to love the comics)

Tinkeringbell

Never been much of a Tin-Tin fan... but I got a load of Lucky Luke and Asterix comics from dad, and also Suske and Wiske (don't know if they have an English name)

LinkBerest

4:53 PM

Spike and Suzy, Willy and Wanda, or Luke and Lucy depending on which English country you were in (I knew them as Spike & Suzy)

Tinkeringbell

What boring names...

LinkBerest

I just barely remember them from my dad's TinTin magazines

Tinkeringbell

Of course, those would've been similar... I think dad's Lucky Luke comics would also have a list of other comics by the same publisher...
