to board this train I'll need to see your exclamation points

There's no point to our exclamations

@JanDvorak y won't you let me see your exclamations? got something to hide?

Now that the train is borked I can ask my question...

Where do questions about an .ldif script that I have trouble with go?

Is that on-topic for serverfault?

Isn't that for Stack Overflow? "Getting your code to work"

Exactly, this would go down fast on SO...

This question appears to be unclear what you're asking because it's about what the close-voters do not understand!

Q: Can I ask about openLDAP and an LDIF script here?

0

I have a seemingly simple problem with adding two attributes to an objectClass in an running/live ldap instance. Expecting it to be off-topic for SO, can I ask this question on SF or would Unix and/or SU be more appropiate? If it can go on SF, do I need to add any extra information beyond the ...

Is there any stats about the spam distribution in SE? Seems like Drupal is mostly the spammer target?

6:17 AM

the muscle spam seems to solely target MSE and Drupal

others are way less picky

why are you asking?

@JanDvorak This one time the spammer had the question posted as a questions, and in the "about me" in his profile. In the profile it had a link at the end but not on question. So I thought maybe that SE did implement something to strip the url at end of post in some cases?

well, just curious, since I've joined this chat recently... helping flagging

6:24 AM

@iStimple Tim Post has mentioned about holding a grudge longer and being faster to block, but not about link stripping. He also said that the "ends with a link -> spam" only worked for a while, then spammers learned to bypass it.

Any suggestion for 2 identical-duplicate, unanswered questions posted by 2 different users? stackoverflow.com/questions/25520002/… and stackoverflow.com/questions/25520243/…

If you suspect sockpuppetry, a custom flag will do

I doubt those are sock-puppets

Isn't there a dup-target that has an upvoted answer?

@rene Everyone is a sock-puppet until Shog verifies otherwis

@iStimple never used that

all link-only answers should be deleted or fixed

I never bother fixing them, though

@SPArchaeologist usually I just go ahead and flag them with a LQ-Flag.

@SPArchaeologist but don't flag them for moderator attention. declined - flags should only be used to make moderators aware of content that requires their intervention

If I'm feeling lucky I'll leave a comment, but..

Apparently instead we should ask people to downvote a given answer and then find more people who have delete permissions.

DV pls stackoverflow.com/a/25527877/2371861

Seems a bit harsh at first glance? Is there a big problem with the answer?

@Bart agree.

jQuery is still JavaScript, it just happens to be a library. Would you downvote answers that tell OP to make use of another selector engine? Cause jQuery isn't the only library with a selector engine.

@Bart it uses jQuery on a non-jQuery question

So @JanDvorak? It's an alternative answer perfectly suitable for those who happen to use JQuery anyway?

@Stijn he didn't even tell the asker to use the library; he just assumed it

@Bart maybe if it stated it used jQuery

should I edit?

1:49 PM

@JanDvorak it does

> Use jquery to set class on span:-

That would be my route, yes @JanDvorak. State that "should you be using JQuery, an alternative solution would be ..."

@Stijn may I edit in "if you ..."?

@JanDvorak sounds good, go for it.

does what I did look good?

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: DETERMINISTIC FINITE STATE MACHINE on programmers.stackexchange.com

1:51 PM

Seems reasonable @JanDvorak.

Ha, we had similar ideas @Stijn

@Stijn Of course!

It's a bad answer to the question that uses a bad library (all libraries are bad libraries).

@bjb568 ok, hypothetical situation. I ask how I can draw a bunch of things on a <canvas>. I get an answer that says "use this library and this piece of code, instead of doing the hard work yourself". Imho, downvoting that answer would be stupid.

@bjb568 sounds like not-invented-here syndrome.

Not invented here

Not invented here (NIH) is the philosophy of social, corporate, or institutional cultures that avoid using or buying already existing products, research, standards, or knowledge because of their external origins and costs. The reasons for not wanting to use the work of others are varied, but can include fear through lack of understanding, an unwillingness to value the work of others, or forming part of a wider "turf war". As a social phenomenon, this philosophy manifests as an unwillingness to adopt an idea or product because it originates from another culture, a form of tribalism. The term is...

... geez, stop it @Stijn

@Stijn I once saw a question related to how to replace with regular expression in Notepad++. An answer advised using Microsoft Word's %PARAM% token. I downvoted.

@Bart :D

2:01 PM

@Stijn That question is probably too broad.

@bjb568 "a bunch of things" being undefined for this example, a real question would of course properly define it. For example, "a sphere".

@Stijn I'll use other people's code. If it's good and after I update it to my coding style and fix it's inevitable bugs

@Unihedron with that example a downvote would be warranted if the user explicitly excluded jQuery for an answer.

@bjb568 yeah, I honestly would never want to work with you on a web project.

@Stijn Never asked...

2:03 PM

@bjb568 It sounds like you waste a lot of time.

I still would @bjb568. I mean, working with a kitten == awesomeness

@Stijn Too broad! A sphere is complicated.

@Andy I believe creating good code is more important.

@bjb568 you should try coding in Android

@bjb568 Out of curiosity, are you a student or do you have a job?

totally open source

2:05 PM

@Stijn Can I guess?

@DroidDev Oh noes. Not android. iz allergic

@Stijn Whom's the question targeted at?

@Stijn Not mutually exclusive.

@bjb568 it has life destroying traits ;) :P

@bjb568 Of course it's not. But it does help shape your philosophy.

@Andy Fine. Define "work".
