Has anyone here seen a chat room in the SE network for discussion about Git?

@user1271772 Search Stack Overflow chat rooms:

SE.SE has a meta about git.

@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog , @Rob you've both posted a link to a room that I created within the hour, which has only 2 posts in the room (both by me!). I was wondering if anyone has come across a chat room about Git int he past, perhaps on other network sites such as SuperUser. I was quite surprised that there was no rooms on the topic when I searched for it, so I made that one that you're linking there.

@user1271772 Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you created it.

I was also wondering though, if there might have been a room on the topic in the past. I did go through frozen rooms too.

But it's hard to thoroughly find out ever room that's ever existed! Maybe some others might have seen such a room in the past.

@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog Too few arguments.

@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog No, you won't be notified for that site in that room.

@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog You'll now get pings from me if I report a post on meta, in room 89 on chat.meta.stackexchange.com

@user1271772 That's not a direct link to the room you created, it's a link to the search engine for Stack Overflow chat (where you can search for whichever rooms you wish); it's no surprise that if you create rooms that turn up in a search that they show up. In addition a link was offered to Software Engineering's meta Q&A on GIT; which (at the bottom) also suggests that you can use that site's chat room to ask about it.

Indeed there's a lot of rooms to look through, and different search terms to try.

quiet day today

sorry. I thought you would like that.

@rene were not all a "stil muurbloempje" ;)

:D

Too quiet?

Or just nice and quiet?

Eh, no thanks. That sounds too insecure even for me :P

For once, I'll agree.

Hey cool, I got 100 bronze badges on MSE

@Luuklag Congrats! ;)

4 days ago I was awarded by 10 Stewards on ruSO XD

So, for example, you could identify if it’s likely to be a pathogenic bacteria or a gene associated with cancer. More importantly, you can ignore fragments that aren’t of use at the moment.

wait, are they reading at 4 kbp/s speed, or reading much faster but lossily?

DNA on a dongle, doesn't sound original.

didn't somebody get fired for making that joke?

@Tinkeringbell to be fair, it isn't a dongle. It's a box large enough to take test tubes that sits on your desk. portable, yes, and connects over USB, but I wouldn't call it a dongle

Oh dang. The smallest model from Oxford Nanopore is actually only slightly larger than a dongle! You can load the DNA directly on to it, so no need for test tubes. I stand corrected!

What do y'all think of this?

@Journeyman Congrats!

@Ollie It seems... to overly complicate something that's already frustrating to new users... I see questions many days from low-rep people who really need a tag created and can't. Further reducing the number of people who can create tags seems like a terrible way to keep the site curated.

@Catija Another reason that might be SO-only...

I mean... the rep required to create tags is already elevated on SO.

But what if the question is about something and there's only one proper tag for it... and that tag doesn't exist - would we allow posting that question with a tag in some sort of review status? What happens to tags that get rejected?

How do we connect the creation of the tag with the posts that need it? Would reviewers also have to review the questions that should have the tag and retag them if the tag is being rejected?

i'd prefer to not slow things down

what is more work, reviewing every new tag created, or cleaning up tags that shouldn't have been created and are causing massive problems?

(most cases aren't causing massive problems)

@Ollie tag creation is not a problem. Being on-time when its reason to exist gets violated is the problem.

Tag creation is not issue. Tag usage is.

And that does also start when you have to select tags. The undiscoverabilty of tag wiki's has always puzzled me.

I'm tempted to post an answer with only 6 to 8 NO!

but someone beat me to it ...

@Catija Ask the question with a remotely-related existing tag, as the answer to this says

@rene Yep, this is a huge problem on SU. It has an explicit policy against tags that are simply names of companies and not actual products, but usually an un-knowing user (re)creates a tag with a company name, and it gets used by others, resulting in larger backlogs for us to clean up.

@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog When I was elected as a mod on Super User I was told my first job was to organise a tag cleanup weekend. I don't thing we've had one since:) Apparently that is the traditional first task for a new mod :)

🎆 Yeah, somebody suggested the solution for excessive tag creation: The creator at least writes the excerpt 🎉

Saves me writing that answer.

The proposal is too complicated and has too many flaws (due to the differences even for existing per-topic tag policy), but I don't have enough time to compile and write the answer...

Like different tag versioning policy for different tags

@MetaAndrewT. Sorting that search by "Newest" puts that ^^ question first, going to the last page and working backwards finds one of the oldest 'versioning Q&As' here: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/251127/… which leads to our meta: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/85358/…
