2k helpful flags!
@AvinashRaj Someone keeps proposing the tag synonym [regex] <- [pcre]. We might have to tell HamZa to make a meta post about this.
is this really programing related? stackoverflow.com/q/12414009/792066
feels more like deployment of something, not creation
Ugh, internet is slow for some weird reason.
someone is DDoS'ing internet

@hichris123 my star on @braiam's message took 5 secs to show up..
@Unihedron the scary thing is that is possible
Congrats on 2k flags @uni.
yeah
Thanks @inf :)
15:31
Hi @Frank. You really changed your name to Frank!
[regex] <- [pcre] , no...
regex also includes BRE..
@AvinashRaj I am well aware that's not a synonym, but i've seen it suggested 12 times, we gotta do something to stop it
:( What... happened to J. Musser? WHO'S THIS @FRANK THAT REPLACED HIM???
@InfiniteRecursion I did.
I can become J. Musser again in 30 days. :)
56 mins ago, by Unihedron
@Frank he's dead. I burned him.
15:33
Next time I will suggest something ridiculous and see if you change your name to that too :)
do you know the user who suggested it for 12 times?
@Frank ... or you just go to another site and press 'save & copy to all SE sites' or whatever.
@Unihedron YOU'RE KILLING THE ENVIRONMENT!
@hichris123 But I like a little fun sometimes
15:35
@AvinashRaj no
synonym suggestions are anonymous
@InfiniteRecursion aha!
@Unihedron no
Why would anyone download w3schools books? — Braiam 5 secs ago
@Braiam Some people are smarter than the folks who rail against that site ;)
It's a great reference, with a grain of salt.
@hichris123 Did they redo that page? Something looks... different.
no, looks the same
15:37
Yes @Frank, it's nice to use a different name sometimes. Look at lostsock, he gets a new name frequently, and there is a user who is "Will" on SO and "Won't" on MSE :)
@ɥʇǝS I personally feel bad seeing people doing stupid things
@ɥʇǝS Not that I know of...
@InfiniteRecursion I agree. Will/Won't is good.
Can you have different avatars and profile names on different sites?
maybe I will never reach enlightenment
@Unihedron ask Grace Note
15:40
! (has an idea)
The users you were frank with haven't budged though. Annoying is in the room, diseased is still staring, self-centered is still eccentric @Frank.
@InfiniteRecursion +1 for making me google and learn the word "eccentric"
@Unihedron thats embarrassing, Unihedron. You should know that word.
@Frank yet I don't.
I'm just this other user, you know? :P
@InfiniteRecursion True. But they're inactive, because they're afraid of what migh happen...
@Unihedron So am I. Must have something to do with age.
It's an old word.
15:44
It's funny @uni, all your funny attempts to camaflauge your gender. You are not in a ratio of 1/5000 in SE population, so need to try so hard :D
3
I'm not really trying to hide my gender, just keeping the gender-neutral environment. :D
@Unihedron Which is stupid.
(glares)
I can stump FOX's bot with scientific names of plants. :)
@Unihedron (glares back)
quick, it's animuson. Hide the cake!

I made it through season 7 of Doctor Who and now my life feels so empty without more of The Doctor to watch. :|
@animuson that's how I feel after each catch-up marathon on Youtube
@animuson I ran out of my 100 comment flags flagging comments with just the word "thanks" and now I have no clue what to do with my life anymore..
@animuson I love doctor who, but I don't like fish fingers in custard.
16:02
@Unihedron 23 hours of sleep, then resume
@Unihedron 1) Post a challenge on Programming Puzzles & Code Golf. 2) Post a question/answer on Moderators. :D
In other news: currently building Chromium. On ~ 10530 / 16723.
@hichris123 but... why?
That's how I feel every time a season of Sherlock ends.
@JanDvorak I'm sending in a patch for a bug.
16:04
nice
@InfiniteRecursion I love Sherlock too.
Cumberbatch is better than anyone else.
including Robert Downey Jr.
Sam
Sam
@Uni almost done typing up the tag definitions readme...
@Sam great job!
Hunt for questions be right back..
Robert Downey Jr's worst performance was in the Sherlock movies as Sherlock. Cumberbatch is unmatched.
@InfiniteRecursion ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
16:12
How is eccentric an old word @Frank? I remember the Time magazine used it to describe Cumberbatch when he was on the Time cover - actor par excellence known for depicting eccentric genius on screen...and that was just a few months ago.
room topic changed to Tavern on the Meta: MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS! Wheel of blame link bolted on for your ease of use: jsfiddle.net/AYPpF/82/embedded/result [bug] [crickets] [discussion] [excuses] [support] [waffles]
@InfiniteRecursion It's not, entirely. That's why I think Uni should be ashamed of himself.
plot twist: @hichris123 patch for Chromium breaks everyone else workflow
Thanks @Balpha. No more edge case resolutions, only stars. Now it's officially @Bart's world.
@Braiam hehe.
No, this one will be touching the AutoImport logic. (basically, it'll change it to only auto-import bookmarks, etc. from a default browser, and if there isn't one let you choose it manually.)
16:18
@hichris123 but, I always want to import things from the non-default browser!
YOU BROKE IT FOR ME!
status-dont-care
:P
No @Frank, nothing to be ashamed of. I didn't know it when I was in school. Everybody's vocabulary is different. @Uni's is full of programming words, and he learns very fast.
@InfiniteRecursion I know all words.
Which is why i would win in den if I had more time.
@Frank You sure? I own a regex library..
@balpha : room description didn't update itself until I refreshed.
16:20
@InfiniteRecursion Thank you!! .. :D
Are you a native speaker @Frank?
@Unihedron Yeah.
status-no-repro
@InfiniteRecursion Why?
^^ delete that
Another day, another new account!

@hichris123 a(nother(A(?1))?)Account!
@Frank Use "> url" if you want to post without oneboxing elegantly
A native speaker's vocabulary is expected to be better than an Asian school teen's vocabulary @Frank.
@Unihedron url ...
@InfiniteRecursion You might be able to call me one, not sure
16:24
@JanDvorak What's a url?
@InfiniteRecursion actually that is a fallacy
:)
universal resource locator
@hichris123 Really? Worked for me.
16:26
@balpha Hmm, maybe due to me running Chrome dev channel (39)? I'm not sure.
@ProgramFOX your bot replied 'laughter' to 'drown'. A very merciless bot.
@Frank :D

@Uni Readme created. Now I just need to commit...

now commit -> push
@rene I'm in if we have a CV stream!
Is your review ban over @uni?
14 hours @inf, but I find my moderation activity more productive outside the queues.
Sam
Sam
16:35
... committed 'n' pushed.
@Uni This is the current tag filter.
Are there site-specific implementations of them?
Good to hear that @uni. You should write about it on MSO. Let me find the post.
Sam
Sam
@Unihedron For those specific tags? I'm not sure.
@Sam some tags may be worse on some sites.
@InfiniteRecursion Really? But it says here that "We prefer questions that can be answered, not just discussed." Never mind I'm stupid.
@Sam I was thinking if you make it read stackoverflow.com:object it would be amazing.
You are not stupid @uni. You can write an answer for meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/271095/…
16:41
@InfiniteRecursion wish I could star that...
Sam
Sam
@Unihedron Yeah, well it currently gets: title, post url, author name, author profile url and site. I can get post body and score, but that requires additional data to be downloaded.
@InfiniteRecursion It might be well-received as a post but it doesn't really answer the part about audits in the q :/
@Sam I mean tag "object" when it's used on "stackoverflow.com" questions.
Sam
Sam
@Unihedron Oh. Just add it to the list then ;)
@Sam :))
yesterday, by Infinite Recursion
Please stop starring my messages. It makes me grumpy:
16:45
@InfiniteRecursion But bart is not on :(
Sam
Sam
@Unihedron Happy now? I've updated the definitions now (not committed yet though).
He has gone with his team have gone to keyboard a user @uni.
wonder who got keyboard'd :)
I have a deputy badge on GL now. compares to 2k flags
writing a post, @inf
16:55
Last time I heard from him, he was going to keyboard the one that called a pair of glasses a keyboardwarrior
yesterday, by Bart
@InfiniteRecursion we're on it
Are you writing a post for being banned due to improper review audit @uni?
- You're a developer / programmer too. We all know how hard it is to have the best system.

Congrats deputy @Frank :)

@bjb568 some people do upvote spam
@JanDvorak Yeah, but we're talking signal/noise ratio here. Of course there's false positives/negatives, but we just want the best algorithm we can get.
@bjb568 the... wat?
Sam
Sam
@bjb568 I can't, the functionality is there to get post body and score, but it requires an additional request to be made, which'll slow my internet down too much. I'll just have to unblacklist "beneficial"...
17:41
ah, forgot crash @Sam
Sam
Sam
@Braiam Added.
If you want to find a bunch of low quality posts, the easiest thing to do is probably code to blabber ratio.
Sam
Sam
That still involves getting the post's body...
I guess… So what can you get?
Sam
Sam
Title, post link, author, author bio link, site, tags.
17:45
Author reputation?
Sam
Sam
Nope. Well, not without an extra request.
@Sam tag in title = VQ?
Sam
Sam
@JanDvorak I've thought of that, but it's a matter of defining all the tags.
Title is lowercase, author is user\d+, site is stackoverflow. OR anything in the regex tag.
17:47
or rather, title is all-caps
Sam
Sam
@bjb568 The current LQ regex: homework|newbie|\bq\b|question|correct this|school project|beginner|!|asap|urgent|please|(need|some)( halp| help| answer)|(no(t)?|doesn('t|t)?) work(ing|ed|d)?|(help|halp)
I'm not solely relying on regex though, there are other mechanisms at work too.
Brb, dinner...
@Sam for (i in tags) {if title.match(i) do_stuff()}?
@hichris123 why?
@Braiam duplicate
acknowledged by the OP as well
@Unihedron I find that the dup should be backwards

odd. that didn't copy well

Sam
Sam
@Braiam foreach (var tag in post.Tags) { if (badTags[post.Site].Contains(tag.ToLowerInvariant())) { return true; } }
I don't think you should be discouraged from meta participation because your first post here wasn't well received @EduardLuca, you well-elaborated your thoughts, the votes were to express opinions and that they do not agree with "Why are Review Audits not more clear and well-explained?". As I mentioned Meta is a great place to gather accurate feedback from the community instead of the person who has to write it, who will eventually burn out from writing a "fail summary" for every audit task in the system.. — Unihedron 4 mins ago

Q: What does "thot" mean and when was it first used?

HugoThe word thot is all over Twitter. The @lovihatibot Twitterbot routinely finds it in searches for "I love the word [X]" and "I hate the word [X]", in fact it's the most hated word and third most loved word (presumably use in one category feeding the other). Similarly it's the second most commo...

Welp, if you were using thot as a word... you're using it wrong. It's a noun, you're using it as a verb.
@hichris123 I'm using the new spelling of WARNINGTHENEXTWORDISWRONG thought.
I don't really care about other definitions.
