33 messages moved to Chimney
Are the Charcoal users taking a a vacation, or is there so much more spam?
 
hmm
No idea
 
Maybe the room has just been too quiet. 33 spam messages in > 20 hours isn't too bad XD
 
12:47 PM
lol
I was uh... I wouldn't say busy!
Youtube recommended youtu.be/JaODfNEVSZE?t=67 and youtube.com/watch?v=kdYkIH6vmDg . Slightly different layout (and I get a floor!) but roughly the size of my new place
 
1:05 PM
@JourneymanGeek Love the random bunch of flowers in the first one :P
 
lol yup
my kitchen is wider/shorter and has the window at the end
 
Not anymore :)
 
I was half a second too slow
 
1:06 PM
Since it was gaming: "I win"
 
(Thanks btw :D)
 
@Spevacus And, also gone :D
 
Ayyyy
 
I think tink has shorter ping than me
or she's wallhacking :D
 
Aimbot.exe
 
1:08 PM
Hahaha Dunno. I have a pretty fast fiberoptics connection, but usually the work VPN limits that. Let's do a speedtest :D
 
lol
I'm behind homeplug ._.
When I move out tho... :D
 
Not that bad actually, it only seems to limit download, not so much upload (I pay for 100Mbps)
 
Well then you should be faster :P
 
1:14 PM
:( I feel that
Wifi?
 
Your ping is still faster than mine?
 
homeplug
So basically internet over power lines
at least it dosen't cut out whenever the dryer runs like it used to :D
 
I don't want to know what electrical is like over there XD
 
@Tinkeringbell Oh it was the dryer.
It was this old thing that my dad kept running beyond any reason, replacement belts, and it started failing electrically
And dumped a lot of electrical noise and tripped the house power :D
 
You mentioned that thing as a fire hazard before, I think?
Well that's slightly better then ;)
 
1:20 PM
Yes!
Until it tripped the house power when mom was watching TV, despite us having a seperate plug in breaker for it....
 
Heh. Usually once things start disturbing a 'mom'.... they're fixed soon enough :P
 
And mom is "I'm buying a new drier tomorrow"
 
Sounds familiar :)
 
Also, 'good' wifi is hard here
Solid walls + too many other APs
 
Hmm. I have the work laptop on Wifi, and some other stuff (phone, switch) that can't handle cables. But it's not too hard here, I haven't yet had a fight with the neighbors and while the walls are solid, the Wifi can reach :)
 
1:37 PM
......
@Tinkeringbell that would only be my phone I guess
 
I also have a tablet, and another phone :P But yeah, that's about it :P
 
1:53 PM
Oh I guess my SP would be wifi
so 2 devices
Also, the living room has 3 ethernet ports... so... that simplifies things a bit!
 
2 ports in the living room here, and 2 in the bedroom :)
More than enough :)
 
Oh that also means I can stick 3x 10GBe ports in the living room, and one in the bomb shelter
(or swap the TV one out for gigabit... )
Oh, and I probably can order my new switch tommorrow
(there's a sale on, so If I decide to pull the trigger, its a fair bit off what seems to be the RRP)
 
2:19 PM

Oh k...

I was kinda thinking about how SO is discontinuing jobs and moving towards "Branding" -- I don't really understand it though, wouldn't people searching for something already own the product they'd be trying to push? Like if I search for "how do I use Azure Devops to schedule my dentist appointments" I probably already know about ADO and own it, right? Or is it just for pure SEO juice, hoping Google picks up on the fact that there's a lot of ADO Qs on SO, so the thing must be important?
 
Hi all. I've come across a question which should be . Does anyone know of the correct avenue to get the tag applied? Should I just flag the post?
 
10:14 PM
@jrh Take what I say with a pinch of salt (as an outsider) but...
Basically SO Job's hasn't really lived up to expectations.
From what I hear it was pricy, and its a really crowded market they were competing in
It also apparently precipitated at least one or maybe both of the restructuring events
Branding is, well advertising, but to potential employees over potential customers
and SE's generally done well with advertising
 
@JourneymanGeek Honestly, I have hardly seen any comment being edited with in the last couple of years atleast within SO.
 
Uhhh
I feel like I am lacking all the context
 
@JourneymanGeek I was referring to your answer to @jrh
 
I wasn't talking about comments at all or editing or SO moderation
 
Oh, I did read the meta post, it was all about editing comments
 
10:26 PM
....
What meta post?
 
The post @jrh was refferring
 
There is no meta post @jrh is referring to
 
oops, sorry, I messed up with @Peilonrayz message :/
 
@Peilonrayz You flag, but generally we batch them up and get a staff member to deal with em, so lead times can be long
 
@JourneymanGeek Ok, thank you
 
10:28 PM
We don't have visibility of what staff actually did sooooo that's about the way
 
jrh
10:58 PM
Huh. maybe Jobs wasn't profitable then? Interesting. Advertising to potential employees? Still sounds a little weird, if a person hypothetically used Gitlab, they'd visit the tag, that doesn't mean that person is a Ruby dev and could work for them developing Gitlab's site.
The Intel and Go tags are even more baffling. Who are they trying to attract? Language devs? Hardware designers? That's not the typical skill set of somebody trying to debug their x86 assembly language or their Go code.
 
11:28 PM
@jrh Well tbh... I am still hazy over reach and relevance

Q: Practically - what are the changes that SO talent will be seeing?

Journeyman GeekThere was a recent blog post from Prasanth that talked about planned changes in Stack Overflow Careers. It seems to be an extremely high-level overview that something is changing, and both as a fairly visible advocate for at least the public Q&A (work has all sorts of fun that make teams an impos...

 
jrh
I provided my comment poke to Catija, in case that somehow produces a response
My corporate magic 8 ball says "Somebody internally is spearheading this project and is telling people more or less 'just trust me, this will work, wait 6-8 weeks, you'll see'"
 
@jrh And there's probably a disconnect between teams
 
jrh
yup. Either don't know, or don't want to know ("not my problem / not my OKR if it flops")
 
Anyway, I don't consider it something that needs an urgent answer, just an answer.
@jrh eh, I think the community team cares
Enough people grok the history of the network to
 
jrh
@JourneymanGeek yeah it's just a weird hobby of mine to study strange business decisions
 
11:39 PM
@jrh I'm a management major (Well Dual major including that :D )
But here I suspect its a mix of folks trying to work out what that is, and those folks probably being.. busy?
 
jrh
Could be some group's unfunded / minimally funded moonshot "science project" that somebody greenlit with more or less "yeah ok, sure, let's try it"
 
lol
I think that's unlikely
Its probably a pillar of the company just...
Well - its 'new' and communicating with us users is hard. + lots of layers
So hypothetically - the community team needs to ask the team working on it, and ... well they'd need to get back to them
then write a post over it
