Is changing the type of quotation marks in code in a suggested edit vandalism?

I don't mean double to single: ‘ to '.

Qantas 94 Heavy

@AstroCB not vandalism but definitely invalid edit or radical change

If you're referring to the review I'm thinking of

AstroCB

@Qantas94Heavy I believe it is since you reviewed it.

It was rejected because the two of us and one of the robos that @bjb568 whipped into shape rejected it.

I know that you don't like migrations, but I thought that this was a good case.

@AstroCB: they usually don't like migrating things that don't need it in my experience

Santa Claus

@bjb568 Well thats what I'm experiencing

@AstroCB Only when it's to Code Review. ;) But we do get a LOT of "please migrate this to code review" flags and it's a drag looking through them.

@Shog9 All four of those checklist items are a resounding no. The only one questionable is whether or not it's on-topic. I'd say it's not; it's way too ambiguous and almost a fad or a sensationalist tag used to describe a user as being clever. — Qix Aug 9 at 0:12

The remake was announced and approved via the Steam Greenlight process in 2012, and released in October 2013 for Microsoft Windows and December 2013 for OS X.

NM, okay now. Seems there is a delay between first login and the time credential is pulled over from main server, of course I could be wrong.

Braiam

is each time a comment is upvoted supposed to trigger a notification?

@Cupcake: It wasn't BoltClock, it was some other mods. They reached some of the posts before us. Hope someone is looking into it.

Unihedron

@Braiam Don't think so.

Not sure whether it is related to cron job to push login changes to children sites

Anna Lear

@chmod711 that's not a thing...

user202362

well, everytime you change your avatar on a SE site, it takes about 1-3 hours for it to reflect on the chats

iStimple

@Braiam no, notifications never happen for comments other than @replies and new comments left on your post

Anna Lear

anyway, if you see any issues again, post on meta with details (error messages, steps taken, etc)

how do you even get from "avatar changes take too long to propagate" to "there must be a cron job to push login changes to children sites"? :)

user202362

Ok, will do ... I also got a mail telling me to sign up to SE from the email account I am already using on SE

Anna Lear

10:50

yeah, that's because you posted with an unregistered profile (the one you screenshot yes above)

user202362

Maybe I am really dumb, but that's how backups/sync are usually done ...

Anna Lear

you can ignore that email

there is no sync for login credentials. they're stored centrally, not per site.

avatars in chat are a different matter. chat uses our API to grab updates from the chat parent profile... eventually. I forget exactly how this is set up. point being, completely different infrastructures. :)

on that note, I'm heading back to sleep. Talk to y'all later.

Unihedron

Night!

Sumurai8

I really hope that one of the systems is called UniCornJob (or UniCronJob)

Because SO is not complete when anything is not unicorn-related

Sleep well @AnnaLear

Unihedron

@Braiam need one more close vote

@Tim: Is anyone looking into plagiarism issue?

user202362

now we know who sleeps with his/her mobile @_@

Unihedron

@chmod711telkitty I do too, so I wasn't surprised. :P

Jan Dvorak

I sleep with my laptop

user202362

11:02

I turn my mobile on flight mode when I do ... use it as alarm

Sumurai8

@Unihedron I can assure you that a pillow is more comfortable. You should try it.

iStimple

@chmod711telkitty you can hear her snoring too?

Unihedron

@Sumurai8 A pillow doesn't vibrate when you receive a new notification, be it SE or email.

Sumurai8

@Unihedron You bought the wrong pillow.

Jan Dvorak

@Unihedron and if it does, your parents will be surprised

Unihedron

11:04

@Jan LOL

user202362

why would anyone want to be disturbed when asleep, I would hate anyone who wakes me up when I am asleep

Jan Dvorak

I'd rather be woken up than die in flames

user202362

your mobile phone is a fire alarm too?

Jan Dvorak

unfortunately, no

OK...

iStimple

@chmod711telkitty thats what dogs are for

Jan Dvorak

11:09

I'd rather be woken up than have my company data die in flames

user202362

Oo anna, did we wake you up again? :p

Jan Dvorak

@iStimple canary + webcam + software is more sensitive, tthough

(and explains the need for a cellphone pillow)

Anna Lear

I just can't sleep. didn't wake me up in the first place - I woke up first, then checked my phone out of boredom. :)

my phone is in full silent mode overnight, so it doesn't wake me up.

user202362

@AnnaLear out of curiosity, are the cats battling with unicorns for the control over SE lately?

Tim Post

11:32

@chmod711telkitty Sorted now?

user202362

yeah ... for me on that site at least.

Shadow Wizard

@Tim do all the notification bugs now really result of the downtime test that took place yesterday?

anyone thinks that converting this question to "How to calculate X" is good? stackoverflow.com/q/100645/792066

@TimPost: Is anyone looking into the plagiarism issue? In case a solution is deployed, please let us know. So that we don't end up beating a dead cat (manually flagging stuff that scripts can auto-detect and remove.)

Mike M.

Is there something glitchy going on with data.stackexchange and the API at the moment?
