@JourneymanGeek in Catija's Meta post about Glorfindel becoming a mod, she said there's a "dearth of work to do" for the mods. So why would a 4th mod be added, is it because you're becoming a CM? Meaning it will become 3 again?

Journeyman Geek

@user1271772 no

@user1271772 I think SE's pretty much wanting someone in the US/Europe timezone for the immediate future

user1271772

I saw something on Meta about you becoming a CM

I see

Journeyman Geek

They turned me down about 4 times. :D

so the ball's entirely in their court at this point

user1271772

But the last time was strictly due to time zone reasons right?

Journeyman Geek

That's one thing that can't be changed

user1271772

1:22 AM

Also I guess if you were to become a CM and we needed a replacement 3rd MSE mod, then having two in the Netherlands would not be so helpful from a time-zone standpoint, compared to getting someone else from Singapore vicinity.

So I suppose my theory that you were becoming a CM and they were getting another mod as a replacement, didn't make so much sense from a time zone perspective.

Journeyman Geek

I'm waiting to see if they actually hire someone from the community TBH

@user1271772 well - there's the hypothesis. Firstly, we're building in redundancy, in case we have extra workload, before we need it

this is possible, either in good or bad ways, and this is kinda why we have/need an extra mod

forest distrusts StackExchange

@JourneymanGeek You don't need to wait to realize that the answer is no.

Journeyman Geek

any member of the community

ANyway, if there's a crisis, we're in better shape to handle it

which is important

@user1271772 I don't think timezone was a particular critieria in being a MSE mod

besides everyone knows I keep strange hours

forest distrusts StackExchange

1:40 AM

@JourneymanGeek Why do you say that?

Journeyman Geek

@forestdistrustsStackExchange experience mostly lol

During periods like this you'd find that the flag queue is small and most of what we do is gentle redirection.

forest distrusts StackExchange

ah

Journeyman Geek

Its also the worst time to get new mods :D

user1271772

@JourneymanGeek Why the worst time?

Journeyman Geek

Who would be dumb enough to want to be a mod when everything is on fire? :D

+ there's a per site learning curve

user1271772

1:59 AM

@JourneymanGeek Everything is on fire?

Journeyman Geek

Yes, that's one definition of a crisis :D

user1271772

Yea but I didn't realize SE was in a crisis right now? I know there was one in 2019.

Journeyman Geek

lol we're not

that's why its a good time to top up mods :D

user1271772

2:15 AM

I see, I thought you said "It's also the worst time to get new mods" but that I suppose was not referring to now, it was referring to times when we're on fire.

But Catija's post made it seem like adding the extra mod was the CMs idea rather than yours, is it a correct interpretation?

Journeyman Geek

2:31 AM

@user1271772 well we could have turned it down

user1271772

But you liked the idea, I understand

How do I embed a YouTube video in a question/answer?

Ryan M

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard FYI, both of those posts have now been deleted by a moderator, with rude/abusive flags (as well as my custom flags explaining them) marked helpful. I'm always happy to explain my reports if you have doubts about them, especially ones where I'm indicating it's a troll and thus might not put as much information in the report. Those two in particular were sockpuppets of a long-standing network troll who tends to frequent a few particular sites, Law among them.

forest distrusts StackExchange

Thing is, I can create a GIF and embed it, but I have to really cut down the color quality:

Ryan M

@forestdistrustsStackExchange it's enabled on some sites and impossible on others

forest distrusts StackExchange

(Not that GBA had particularly rich colors, but those trees are supposed to be green, not black)

@RyanM How do I tell?

Ryan M

also normal imgur has higher upload limits than stack.imgur, if that helps

Oh, neato. Fitting that into 2 MiB was a pain.

A: Which sites have YouTube embedding on?

I've put together an incomplete list of sites based on manual testing and site-specific research. (Essentially, searching posts from every site and running tests when necessary) The majority of the hyperlinks below point to relevant meta discussions about whether YouTube embedding should or shoul...

forest distrusts StackExchange

Thanks.

Hm, @RyanM that list doesn't include Retrocomputing.

But I guess embedding is off, since the bare URL doesn't expand into an embedded video.

(testing if it works in chat)

It does work in chat. Why don't all sites enable it? It's not like it's using SE's bandwidth.

Ryan M

It was also briefly enabled in the Meta Stack Overflow revision history

Probably because most sites wouldn't appreciate it. It'd be a vector for spam and NAAs.

forest distrusts StackExchange

ah

Ryan M

For instance, I'd be opposed to it being enabled on Stack Overflow. Very rarely do YouTube videos add to answers.

forest distrusts StackExchange

3:33 AM

On Retrocomputing, I think that it'd be fairly useful: retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/search?q=url%3Ayoutube.com

Ryan M

It could be useful for questions, but strictly speaking it's still an offsite link that might become deleted.

forest distrusts StackExchange

Yeah that's true.

Journeyman Geek

3:58 AM

@forestdistrustsStackExchange Its 'optional' but up to the specific sites to request enabling. We already have answers that are "watch this video" on SU so... ehhh

Make a great case for it on RC's meta :D

@GWarner true, someone with the power to unstar did it on their own. Cheers! :)

@forestdistrustsStackExchange it is using SE's bandwidth, in a way. Pretty sure that to enable embedding, extra JS code should be loaded. Even if only 1k, when it's millions of hits per day, it becomes meaningful.

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard I voted FP and can't see the post any longer; can you elaborate on what happened there?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@tripleee you can see the original post on Meta Smoke, it's linked in the report itself. The author edited during grace period so it's impossible to see on SE.

I can't see it now, but I'm pretty sure it was very spammy even after edit. No?

tripleee

I know about metasmoke; my question is what happened after that

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

Unless they made third edit?

@tripleee what do you mean? After what?

Luuklag

It was an attempt at an answer, but with the same spam link in it

well a really long wall of text, probably copied from somewhere

@tripleee meh, not going to use translators. And after edit it was still very spammy.

tripleee

but no recollection as to what it actually said?

Luuklag

@tripleee It was really long, with the link that is listed in MS embedded somewhere in between.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

I didn't read too deep. I saw lots of text, with link(s) to the same site as the original post linked to. On first glance, it looked like obvious attempt to promote that site.

I still think it's spam. You can disagree. All good!

tripleee

I can agree if I see that it really was spam but in the absence of even anecdotal evidence to rebut the obvious alternative explanation (that they copied text out of the article) I can't

in Charcoal HQ on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 54 secs ago, by tripleee

@Glorfindel with the recent one I think a pattern emerges

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

8:09 AM

IE6 contains a buffer overflow bug where typing ms-its:%F0: into the URL bar will crash it. Chromium-based browsers have a crash test URL, about:inducebrowsercrashforrealz, which is an intentional debugging feature.

Meta Andrew T.

@tripleee AFAIR, it's a long post that explains many things about eye health (like a PSA). Not sure if there's any question in the end, since I didn't scroll it until the end.

tripleee

thanks, I concur now

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

:)

...and in the meanwhile, 125 new infected in Israel yesterday, some of them vaccinated. Not much, but it's only the beginning. :(

Well we had some fun.... guess very soon we'll be back to full lockdown and fifth wave.

I went to three restaurants and watched a movie in the cinema (WW84), so it's fine.

@forestdistrustsStackExchange ^

DavidPostill

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard Are they new variants? Or does nobody know? Most of our (UK) new cases (I think over 80%) are the Indian variant which has a higher infection rate. The good new is that folks who are vaccinated don't usually end up in hospital.

M.A.R.

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard the chances of coming in contact with human feces are smaller. Fecal-oral transmission is not as difficult as you think

DavidPostill

@M.A.R. Well washing your hands after going to the toilet (especially if it's not your toilet) with disinfectant soap will stop that. And before cooking. And after shopping. Wash you hands all the time!

Tinkeringbell

9:47 AM

@DavidPostill I haven't been able to find anything about 'long covid' (hope it's called that everywhere, it's where people just never become normal again after an infection, even a small one) and vaccines though... and from what I read, most people that get long covid only had a mild case of covid... :|

Fingers crossed these vaccines help there too and that the Indian variant doesn't spread too far here (fat chance with all the lifting of restrictions)

Luuklag

long or lung Tink?

Tinkeringbell

long :)

It's the name for a timespan (langdurig), not an organ ;)

rivm.nl/coronavirus-covid-19/long-covid

I see that one also calls it PASC, which may be more familiar to others.

Meta Andrew T.

hopefully 'long covid' is not like "multiple covid variants merging into one'...

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@DavidPostill new to Israel, it's the Indian variant, most likely. And yeah, no fatal cases so far but.... I remember how it started with the "vanilla" Covid.

@M.A.R. well, that's true.

Wolf

Same as with the Mexican Flu that was around a few years back

@Wolf Same reason the original virus is not longer the Chinese Flu/Wuhan virus: Hiding the name makes it less discriminatory apparently ;)

Wolf

10:02 AM

ok

Tinkeringbell

@Luuklag It's weird though, we can have a Brazilian variant, a British variant... and then when one is found in India we all of a sudden have to change again XD

Wolf

~~what?~~

Tinkeringbell

That ;-)

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell Meh, I think they just anticipate a lot of new variants to track. Scientific names are difficult for the general public. Also having 2 distinct Indian variants becomes difficult ;)

Tinkeringbell

@Luuklag Indian-1 and Indian-2 ;) I dunno, I've never had much with the Greek alphabet either, I find that harder to keep track which variant is which (is beta the variant that originated in Brazil or South-Africa?) than the place names too.

Luuklag

10:14 AM

Yeah I agree that the switch is hard. On the news I usually hear: Delta, formerly the Indian variant

Should we do something about the comments on this Q&A? meta.stackexchange.com/questions/366710/…

12:44 PM

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard If the angle is more than 90° and less than 180° it's obtuse, less than 90° and it's acute. It seems a bit bloated and weak, as most other Frameworks are lighter and offer more features: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… - plus it's a front for Google Analytics.

rene

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard is it a language? I thought it was javascript / typescript with a framework/library for routing / data-binding?

Rob

@Luuk, that link ^ compares Frameworks.

A rewrite (superset) of old ECMAScript.

Luuklag

12:57 PM

Yeah we need to find a platform for something we are making. And just talked to one who develop everything in Angular, and we have to make our own front and backend

Others already have a front and back end that we can re-use

So kinda in doubt what we should do, also taking dev costs into account

rene

Did you consider a low-code/ zero-code platform? Mendix, Be Informed, to name two.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@g3rv4 we were... but it came back with a variant that bypass the vaccine.

g3rv4

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard crap... is that the Delta variant? and... that bypasses the Phizer? sh*t

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Rob nah, Angular is fine. Can be better, like any framework.

Luuklag

@rene Well we're kinda looking where we can serve our userbase best. We really don't care much about the framework/hosting /online tool as long as it fits reasonabilly within the budgets.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@rene it's not a language, it's using several languages. Think it can be referred to as "framework", but meh, don't want to make things complex for @Luuklag. ;)

Luuklag

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard Meh, its probably not like I'm going to do any of the programming. We'll outsource that

I plan on including the stats of what happened posts tagged with that tag as a result of them getting attention from @Ollie 's burninate request. I think it'd be neat to see how many were closed, deleted, etc.

Ollie

@Spevacus thanks ;) I've been looking through them and I'm still deciding what to vote to delete...

Spevacus

I yeet'd one of them, but the others don't really seem that bad.

Luuklag

I added scope to one you recently edited @Ollie, might be a good tag to use here and there

Ollie

@Spevacus didn't see that. I usually balk at deleting a post if there's a well-voted answer there, unless it's really just crap

@Luuklag thanks

Ollie

2:34 PM

@Luuklag there are some good answers below this post, but the OP's answer is _. I threw it a delete vote as well

Spevacus

Eh. Not sure how I feel about that one.

Rob

@Oll, @Spe, my 2¢: Three uses of that tag seem fair, the remainder seem superfluous; we don't need the tag on MSE to ask about our own websites, what else would we be asking about - well, if it's elsewhere then that tag is useful. The three useful instances seem to be: meta.stackexchange.com/q/94022/282094 meta.stackexchange.com/q/134570/282094 meta.stackexchange.com/q/306015/282094

Spevacus

@Rob For the first link, I honestly think the external sources tag might be decent here. Not sure about the other two questions, though. Thanks for the 2¢!

Luuklag

The second is already closed as dupe @Rob, so we could just as well delete that. There are a bazillion copies of that kind of question.

And in the third we could change websites with hyperlinks I think

@SmokeDetector f

Rob

@Spevacus Yeah, that's another tag without usage guidelines; so we have to expertly guess what the best usage would be. For the first link I was thinking that they might be seeking an answer that offers suggestions for their website, so we don't visit a 2-3 paragraph article with 20+ ADs; that the blog offers extended value and that a more thorough explanation is offered by following the link - rather than it being spam.

Spevacus

2:52 PM

@Luuklag There are quite a few, I've gone ahead and voted to delete that one. It doesn't have any extra keywords that might help with search engine optimization so I don't think we need it anymore.

Rob

@Luuklag ... yes, and I noticed that both the dupes chose not to use the tag --- Darn people for creating a new tag and at least not creating the excerpt (as a minimum); I try to create both the excerpt and a short helpful wiki - four rep if you're low rep and your responsibility if you're high rep., and just lazy if you don't do the minimum - it creates triple the extra work later (frequently).

Spevacus

Good on your for including an excerpt 'n such. I wish the folks of old were as vigilant about that. :(

Rob

@Luuklag The hyperlinks tag seems good. That's an example of a poor tag wiki, it's a copy of the excerpt; no additional information is offered by clicking on the more info link, it's really less info for the effort.
