@Shog9, @AnnaLear - strange question for you. I opened my recent MSO question after I got home and I was able to see some of the deleted comments, including one that I deleted. How should I report that bug and do you need to see a screenshot as proof?
@UndotheSnowman For once, @TimStone is the right answer here.
user194162
My apologies & never mind - I misremembered which comments I had deleted.
Holy crap I need to clean up my MySQL database... o.o So much junk in here.
Some of this data has been obsolete for years.
00:31
@animuson What do you have in it?
@hichris123 Some of the stuff, I really don't know to be honest. I've been trying to figure out what this zulu table is.
@animuson If it's important, you probably would have remembered. I guess you don't need it then...
00:59
I have a better idea. gets out the big eraser
New database structure! Woooo! Let's recode everything that I never finished in the first place!
(Probably because it had such a terrible database structure!)
What are you keeping in it?
Well, I apparently also have two installations of IPB and an installation of phpBB in here...
I have no hard feelings about deleting all that crap.

bah humbug
Now that I think about that that onebox may not have been appropriate to post here.
02:09
Thanks @animuson.
02:20
Can we burn /?
Great tag wiki for :
"var is a keyword in a number of programming languages."
Gee, thanks. I didn't think it would be something used in a programming language since it was posted on SO, right?

@hichris123 yep
looks like it could just have a manual retag, I say burn with fire.

Q: My flag on a link-only accepted answer got declined. Why?

Jeroen Vannevel13 days ago I flagged this answer for the "not an answer" reason. This got disputed. I asked in the chat about it and I was told by a moderator (I can't recall who it was exactly) that it probably got disputed because after all it did attempt to answer the question. He advised me to flag it as "V...

@JeroenVannevel Maybe this will help you:

A: Flag declined, link-only answer subsequently deleted

gnatAt the risk of receiving downvotes from both flaggers and mod-supporters, I would say that both you and "declining" moderator made mistakes here.   Your mistake is of using wrong flag. VLQ description says "answer is unlikely to be salvageable through editing" which makes it a very (very) ba...

02:35
@hichris123 It is highly relevant and reinforces my case. It speaks about using a custom flag message instead (which I did). I'll edit it in my post as another source on the topic.
This was actually a hard audit: stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/3579846
Considering very little was changed. Instead, stuff was added, and it wasn't a lot.
The title have it away though
@Jeroen Are you refering to this answer: stackoverflow.com/a/20308547/2581872
I am, yes.
Ah, I don't explicitly link to it.
Let me fix that
@Cole How do they generate those audits?
 
10 hours later…
12:30
@hichris123 I'm not sure (nor am I Cole), but the average audit basically looks like someone let a Markov chain run wild.
I think that's actually how spam edit audits are generated ;)
 
1 hour later…
13:47
@Bart can you add a link to a question in the unity3d tag that has a link to a sample project as you mentioned in your MSO question?
And it's not so much that there are tons of such questions. It's more that I'm often tempted to ask for such data (rather than go "did you do this? And that? And how did you attach that? And did you check that?)
And there is currently no nice solution I can think of to have a good bit of content in the end.
14:05
Hmmm, yes that file is 153kb and you don't want to have everybody attach vs solutions, java-spring and ror projects to every question. You could imagine some special markup that let you include a base64 encoded zip file inside the question that doesn't get rendered but that file woudn't fit for size in that format...
Size is limited to 30.000 chars meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/185027/… so maybe it is not so bad idea after all...
But throw in a couple of assets (textures/meshes and the like) and you're screwed again.
14:25
Agree, it will grow out of hand rather quickly....
14:40
At least I've answered the guy's question. A good illustration of a situation where code does not tell you the whole story.
 
1 hour later…

For several minutes a while ago, SO was behaving strangely. The "Unanswered" tab was returning 0 questions, for example. Is this a known, periodic phenomenon?
yeah, saw it as well. Stuff like that happens every now and then. Particularly when there is some work going on or a deploy of some sort
Since it lasted quite a while, I was surprised there were no meta questions posted about it. Is all posting activity blocked when that happens?
Nah, just a Saturday I guess.
16:20
Probably caching issues.
(probably)
17:11
@jmac is*
17:43
Are "how does this code work" questions on topic?
I feel they shouldn't be, but there's no close reason that covers them, is there?

Q: How does wrapper class works?

JigarI have below code class ABC { public static void main(String[] args) { Integer inta = new Integer(10); Integer intb = new Integer(10); if (inta <= intb) { System.out.println("inta is less than intb"); } if (inta >= intb) { System.out.println("int...

Also, is this NAA?

A: My Player Falls Through the Ground

EsaCouple of things pop into my mind without downloading the project: Does your floor have a collider? Does at least one of your objects have a rigidbody? Is the floor's collider thick enough to realize it was hit when the characters passes through it?

I was tempted regarding the second one. They seem a bit too much like comments asking for clarification to me
As for the first one, perhaps a title change would do the trick?
Because that's not the actual question the OP seems to be having
18:13
@Bart I still feel the first one is off topic, or at least should be. Because then we have a crapload of questions all titled a variant of "Why does this code do this?" or "What does this code do?"
Woo hoo! 13-second Meta off-topic close! meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/211585/…
@TheFestivusUnicorn wow
I bet he didn't try jQuery
@ColeJohnson though the question seems to be "How can two wrapper objects be both equal and unequal at the same time?" Which makes it a bit more fair as a question. Though probably a duplicate of some sort. In any case, not the best question
Well done @TheFestivusUnicorn. That is the evil unicorn overlord we elected
@Bart the world would be a better place if Java class wrappers didn't exist.
Haha, perhaps propose a "This question is off topic because Java class wrappers" close reason
18:18
@Bart woo hoo! (don't miss also it was on Meta ;)
@Bart I'd like that
And now we wait for the "abusive moderator" complaints to roll in /me grabs popcorn @TheFestivusUnicorn
Oooh... popcorn! Me, too!!!
@Bart fixed post
Great @ColeJohnson. Christmas spirit and all that. ;) Now let's see if it remains.
18:28
@Bart the OP likes to mix tabs and spaces 0_0
(-。-;
I saw .... arghhh
Aaaaand. Deleted
@TheFestivusUnicorn is he postbanned on SO?
Needs closing:

Q: Custom login page in Java for GAE accounts

tuazkuI have a Java application, and GAE application. Here is what I want to do: I want GAE account users to authorize in my Java application, and I don't want to use "Sign In with..." solution. Instead I want the users to login from my Java application login page ( e.g providing username and passwo...

Wow
I just accepted that (−_−;)
Stupid fat fingers
^^^ someone needs a suspension
Or we need a mobile interface
The thanks filter isn't working: stackoverflow.com/questions/20583351/…
Is there a thanks filter? I know there is a Hi filter, but don't know about one for thanks
18:38
Besides the function
@Bart pretty sure there is
Is someone editing in ccpreference @ColeJohnson?
@Bart cppreference is a wiki, but both of those sites are great resources
Don't know the latter.
I was wondering if there's anything else besides that
@Bart neither did I until today
19:05
@cole nope, not qbanned.
20:45
@ColeJohnson, why the [on hlod] in this edit?!

@brasofilo ಠ_ಠ
@ElfSlice, he complained about fat fingers a couples of msgs above... I'm reading this as Fat Frozen Fingers right now :P
 
2 hours later…
22:55
@brasofilo why not
Also, I couldn't add [on hold]
It wouldn't let me
What, were you using it to test?
@hichris123 partly
23:10
Halp!
I can't read anything on Br.SO!
23:25
@ColeJohnson, I don't understand, is there a deeper history behind that post? Why would one add [on-hold] to a title? I had a major cognitive dissonance seeing (3) close votes and what looked like an already closed Q. Took a while til seeing the typo. Why that?
@Undo Don't you already have a direct support line with SE? If not, I think you bother them enough that they should consider it.
23:49
@brasofilo ♪(v^_^)v
@hicris I have a big red phone on my desk that I'm ready to hook up. I might need to bother them more, though.
