@ShadowWizard Yeah, and it takes 6 spam flags to nuke a post. But that one was at -8.

A: How did I get unbanned? (I did not get any upvotes)

Tim PostWe changed the question block system to a rolling rate limit that slows folks with a recent history of ill-received questions down considerably. There is still an outright block, but it takes a bit more in order to hit it, and it lasts (at the most) a year. Basically, the amount of time it takes ...

Thanks @Tim!

sidequestion: Did the XKCD font change?
 
user259867
Its appearance changed, for me. But I'm using Chrome, so maybe it's the rendering that's changed.
 
chrome, too. Actually that's mostly why I am asking..
 
user259867
I'd guess it's the browser rendering, again. Don't have Firefox here to check.
 
It also changed in Firefox..

@Vogel612'sShadow score -3, on hold, edited after closed so likely in Reopen queue. No reopen votes at the moment
 
reopening is still slightly broken, huh?
 
I have 0 knowledge in python or pandas so can't cast anything myself
 
it's closed as too broad, since that was initially true
before closing it got edited to remove two additional questions
(see rev 1) and then I commented about PoB implications

unless you mean this answer which is crap?
@hichris123 if the bot means answer, better link directly to the answer, no?
 
@ShadowWizard I think the bot can only see the questions.
 
@Andy nope, score is also applied to answers, it's some new feature they added to the spam bots here a while ago
Maybe only @Pham and not @SmokeDetector though, dunno
 
@ShadowWizard Pham can see the answers. I don't think SmokeDetector can. @hichris123 is still linking to old SD code in his message so I can't confirm that though
 
@Andy ok, so it's weird how the question got high LQ score
 
1:46 PM
@hichris123 why?
 
For some reason chat's weird and I have to scroll every time a new message appears.

Q: Chat (non-mobile view) scrolls up and down rapidly on iPad

abby hairboatI prefer using the non-mobile view of chat on my iPad (in mobile Safari). The mobile version is great on my phone, but it wastes a lot of space and I end up missing the enhanced functionality on the larger iPad screen. But the non-mobile version is frequently unusable, because the room bounces i...

 
@ShadowWizard No, a desktop.
 
1:56 PM
@Frank browser?
 
@ShadowWizard Chrome version 38.0.2125.104 m
 
@Frank whenever the window is resized chat would scroll to the last message... maybe you got a tab resizing the window somehow then?
 
Sep 18 at 10:35, by Jan Dvorak
maybe it's afraid of you
 
Lol... Voting ring destruction on CR, and I am not affected yet...
 
@ShadowWizard I want it to scroll to the last message. The problem is, everything sits still, and to view new messages I have to scroll.
 
2:05 PM
@Frank I occasionally have the same in Chrome.
Can't repro it though :(
 
Me too^^
 
*me neither
 
@JanDvorak Depends which message she referred to.
Hi there duck!
 
Hiya Tree!
I referred to the first message

Has your Chrome stopped trembling @Frank?
 
@InfiniteRecursion Wasn't trembling, it was refusing to self scroll.
And not 'better' yet.

Give it some antibiotics.

@InfiniteRecursion /me blush
@Frank silly question, but do you see any JS errors in the console?
 
np
@InfiniteRecursion so right... he closed a question just now. ;D
 
@bjb568 No, I think it's a neurotoxin. It may react badly to antibiotics. I think a combination of chelators (protein form, such as DMSA, to absorb the toxin) and possibly conjugators, (in case the toxin is of organic origin) by conjoining a acetyl group to emulsify fat soluble toxins so they can be removed from reserves and expelled.
 
@ShadowWizard What's that mean? #ImANoob
 
2:48 PM
press F12
there should be a window on the bottom of your browser
there should be a tab "Console"
switch to that, press F5
is there any red text?
 
@Vogel612'sShadow no.
 
okay, then it's not Javascript....
most probably, that is
 
I think I'd make a better biologist than computer guy :/
@Vogel612'sShadow thx
 
yes it definitely looks like that..
 
@Frank also, is the browser window Maximized? If not, maximize it and it might help

Minecraft should have beer: 3 wheat + 1 water bottle. Gives nutrition and slight nausea, which worsens with each dose.
 
@Frank ^^^
 
@JanDvorak Brew it at the potion stand
 
good point
wait, that would be 1 wheat + 3 water bottles = 3 x beer
 
@JanDvorak reminds me of Runescape. Eating kebab had a chance of making you sick.
 
reminds me of netscape
 
2:55 PM
@JanDvorak In the lord of the rings version, I believe you can make mead and become drunk.
 
eating corpses had the chance to make you sick and die
but that was litteraly the only food on early levels..
and if you ate too much you'd vomit and pass out.
 
@Vogel612'sShadow Not die.
 
I like that brewing stand recipe. 1/3 wheat + a little bit of water should give out about the same nutrition as a full wheat at the cost of a little brewing action and the fact that you get drunk.
 
if you had food-poisoning, and didn't get your char to vomit, you'd die
after... 12 turns or something?
 
@Vogel612'sShadow Not me.
 
2:57 PM
@JanDvorak err... you need more wheat
 
@Frank why that??
 
@SmokeDetector tp
 
oh... 8 wheat + water bottle? About the same nutrition as three bread, but way more compact
gone at -6. Good job, everybody!
 
Ah! I had a thought! NAC can be produced in humans from the amino acid cysteine! Much better chelator than DMSA. So if the toxin is in the form of mercury or lead, I can use it with possibly CaEDTA in the case of lead.

Hello, I was referred here by a different chat room. I have an issue where a user name Semaphore on the History StackExchange had an argument, and shortly after a large amount of my posts were downvoted, un-upvoted and even closed. I have reason to believe the user Semaphore is responsible. I have sent in a request about 3 days ago talking about the serial-downvoting but nothing has changed. Can anyone help assist me?

@Frank don't do that, it generates unnecessary inbox messages
 
@JanDvorak Nice try, bird.

I was under the assumption the bot would preform it's course of action in under 24 hours. Have I been mis-informed?
 
@JanDvorak exactly.
 
so, you want to be a duck?

@JanDvorak oh no.
 
This happened three days ago.
Nothing has changed since then.

@Chantola I've looked at your rep history and I saw that there was a few hours delay between those downvotes, so it might be that the bot missed it.
You'll have to wait until the team reads your mail.

about during the first muzzle flash
 
gets stuck for me at the part where that guy's head blows up
 
5:22 PM
the video is under a second
so if it doesn't loop in your browser (like it should), it'll get stuck there
 
It doesn't loop

@Sam Hmm... What happened to that project?

Damn.... I only recently found the place in FF settings that forces gifs to loop only once....

Hmm.

@JanDvorak No idea, I've never seen it before.
 
What's the integral from -1 to 2 of x^-3? 3/8 or diverge?
 
@bjb568 what normalisation scheme?
It crosses an asymptote...
 
My calculator says undef :(
 
Sam
Have you tried Google Wolfram Alpha?
 
@JanDvorak wuts dat?
 
5:30 PM
@bjb568 That's what tells you the values of stuff that looks infinite
 
@Sam It says diverge. It makes sense that it'd be the same as from 1 to 2 since it's an odd function tho.
 
I got ten stars for saying bye. You guys...
 
Maybe you could normalise by subtracting 1/(x-x0)^2n around each pole, but I'm not sure if that preserves all invariants
 
@InfiniteRecursion cool!
 
@ProgramFOX Seems to be deleted now. Now we'll never know if it can beat this answer

maybe now
 
@Andy Nope, not deleted. And it has -126, so it has beaten the other answer.
Ah, it has been undeleted.
 
@3ventic nope. And can't play it again with the controls either, it got only Pause which does nothing. Will look into it later! :)

@Jan filerepair
Yup, it's part of a coordinated campaign to spam file recovery tools to Stack Overflow, Super User, Server Fault, and other sites on the network: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/269868/19679 . They've been getting progressively more creative with their spam, now seeding questions with one account and answering with another. The real problem is that reviewers are usually approving their spam now, so I have to sweep through every few days and remove the spam that made it through. — Brad Larson Oct 4 at 21:34

@bjb568 It makes sense (this sense is called "Cauchy Principal Value"), but this is not how improper integrals are treated in Calculus course.
 
user259867
In Calculus, they are treated in a more strict way: if there is a singularity inside the interval of integration, split the interval in two.
 
user259867
So you get two improper integrals. And then both of these must converge. If either of them doesn't, the whole integral is written off as divergent.
 
user259867
So, in the sense of Cauchy P.V. the integral of 1/x^3 from -1 to 1 is zero. But in the stricter sense (which is normally used, and not only in calc) it diverges.
 
user259867
Geometrically: there's an infinite amount of area above x-axis, and an infinite amount of are below it. We usually don't want to say that infinities cancel each other; this leads to all sorts of weird arithmetics.
