Is there a prize when you hit 210/210 complete on your careers profile, or am I just wasting my time?

I don't get the completeness meter. Just because people don't have anything to put there doesn't mean their profile is any less complete.

mootinator

I don't have a second or third thing to put in "writings" actually.

jcolebrand

@mootinator wasting your time

mootinator

@jcolebrand BAH

jcolebrand

well you asked

mootinator

1:45 AM

@jcolebrand So, in your professional opinion, did I add useful information to get to the 400 words in work experience, or does it just seem padded: careers.stackoverflow.com/mootinator

jcolebrand

Well I like it if it counts for anything

mootinator

It counts for something

Q: useHttpOnly="true" is not useful when I configed in my tomcat6.0.35

As I have said in the title,when I have set useHttpOnly="true" in the context.xml but I still can get the jessionid in my javascript.Is there something I have forgotten to config?

^ What was this migrated to Meta?

mootinator

Too many people have too much rep.

Tim Stone

Hmm, I can't delete it now that random closed it.

mootinator

4:00 AM

Or, it's already deleted.

animuson

Well, it gets auto-locked when it's closed because it rejects the migration...

Tim Stone

Ah, right...

mootinator

4:15 AM

I hate that I can't not do stuff like this now: stackoverflow.com/posts/12381077/revisions

@mootinator I...think you know the answer to that.

(and it's not green. Sheesh.)

Tim Stone

5:25 AM

@jadarnel27 He doesn't, that was an impostor @mootinator - note the lack of proper 'u' in his 'color'.

Good detective work, Tim. I should've seen that. Moot! You've been compromised, get to the safehouse!

Q: Merge and synonymize [exponent] and similar

Currently there is a number of similar tags: exponent (71) exponential (59) exponentiation (38) exponents (11) I think all should be merged and synonymized into [exponent].

Q: Normalize [code-first] and [ef-code-first] usage

I think all the questions tagged with code-first or codefirst, and in the same time with entity-framwork (or .net or c#. are regarding Entity Framework Code First, so ef-code-first is the most suitable tag for them. Stats: codefirst has 67 questions. code-first has 585 questions, has code-o...

in 90% of cases using code-first they mean ef-code-first!

meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/146749/…

Can anyone shed any light on why that question was removed?

Not quite 10k just yet, so I can't see anything anymore, but I wanted to add a minor update and now it's gone. Did it get somehow out of hand?

balpha

@Bart the user was deleted (probably self-deleted), that will automatically delete negative-scored posts as well

Bart

@balpha Ah, that would explain it indeed. Weird. Anyway, not a big deal. I was just surprised.

Ah, I see his subsequent feature request. He's gone indeed.

Tim Stone

2:49 PM

@belisarius I am now, what's up?

mootinator

Oy, it's one of those days again.

jcolebrand

Yes, yesy it is

RetroCoder

3:22 PM

Wow I'm getting bashed on a simple enhancement...

Why is it so hard to even request a change and have it affect your reputation?

Popular Demand

@RetroCoder The usual answer is "voting on Meta works differently," but could you link to your specific case?

Q: In a stack overflow answer allow for code examples to show a before and after solution approach

I would like to see an ehhancement to an answer i.e. in how a solution is applied on Stack Overflow to someones existing code example/s. Maybe right next to the users suggestion where you increase their score there is a button that says, "Apply This Solution" to the original question. When clic...

Popular Demand

Thanks, @Tim. @RetroCoder does bring up a valid issue, though. I have had a potential discussion post brewing in my head for the past few weeks about whether or not it's good for voting, and therefore reputation, to be tied to opinion here (and on other metas).

Tim Stone

Hasn't that conversation already been had in a few forms, though?

mootinator

I thought the consensus was that it's generally a bad idea, but nobody wants to give up their meta.so reps.

Tim Stone

3:35 PM

That aside, an unconvincing suggestion is not useful to me, so I don't actually consider voting on metas to be different for most cases.

(a general statement, as I didn't really read, and subsequently did not vote on, that request)

Popular Demand

@TimStone I can't think of one, but I suppose it's possible that there are still a handful of MSO posts I haven't personally interacted with.

Tim Stone

I was probably thinking of some of Steven Jeuris' questions, but they probably aren't the same thing, so assertion retracted. :P

This question might be more along the lines of what you were talking about.

Although it makes some odd assertions, so likely not a duplicate even if it were.

Hmm, @RebeccaChernoff, can you forcibly prod the elections site? Then yell at me next week if I haven't addressed that by then |:

LIVEBLOGS

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

where is the link to the liveblog?

my internet is going slow...

jcolebrand

There's only about a dozen of them out there. Pick a reputable tech news source

mootinator

Eh, I'm just watching the mashable one. There's approximately one liveblog for everyone in the audience there :P

jcolebrand

I'll be nice to you tho and share the better looking one of the ones I like today: live.gdgt.com/live-iphone-5-launch-coverage

OMG! the announcement is that iPhone is discontinued!

Zing.

Typo. Meant to say glass and aluminium.

This one seems the fastest: engadget.com/2012/09/12/apple-iphone-5-liveblog

mootinator

I'd be vaguely impressed by 802.11ac support I guess if that's where they're going.

No gigabit wireless. Scoff.

Phones need that sort of throughput. I swear it.

> One unicorn tear will power the iPhone 5 until the iPhone 6 comes out. Which is as much power as any Apple fan needs.

Thunder bolt and lightning. Very very frightening. Interesting choice of marketing message :P

jcolebrand

idk, still need to see some Mercury to go with tht

mootinator

Heh.

So do you think these companies intentionally announced a new iPhone/released Visual Studio on Programmers day, or were they as oblivious to the apparent observance as I am.

animuson

It's just a day... I don't see why people are so obsessed with it. Can't they find better things to appreciate in life?

mootinator

Like lunch.

I'm getting hungry.

Uh-oh Siri just told someone they asked a subjective question. Doesn't that violate some sort of StackExchange patent?

jadarnel27

@animuson Like appreciating the color brown!

mootinator

I only appreciate brown when it's spelled br0wn or bro\/\/n

All this for only $FIRSTBORN or $LEG on a 3 year contract.

@PopularDemand It seems that php does indeed have one of the lower question up-to-down vote ratios, but if you're really hoping to get down voted you should try homework, heh.

Although I'm not sure that's the best way to measure those numbers...I should be doing work or something though, so meh.

jadarnel27

Work?

Tim Stone

Sorry, work-work

Not Data Explorer/Election Site work.

jadarnel27

I think I'm just confused by the word. What does it meeeeean?!

Tim Stone

I know, I was just increasing the shock factor.
