A: Why does the C++ standard's index have this entry for "undefined behavior [sic]"?

Lightness Races in OrbitThe boys over at std-discussion seem to agree that this is just an editorial issue. I have therefore raised it as such and it is now draft issue 409 on github.

 
@Rafflesiaarnoldii nope. They actually prevent it from getting kicked out of the LQP queue (every extra flag requires an extra looks ok IIRC)
 
someone care to correct this user? I seem to have gotten -1 b.c this mis-info

@hichris123 Thanks for correction. I stole it to post an answer.

Yay, more rep! Oops.

@Rafflesiaarnoldii -1 to counter. ;P
 
@JasonC That's very cult-like. Maybe someone/I should run some queries on these users to see if we can find anything of interest. oh nm, it's nothing interesting meta.stackexchange.com/a/118649/244519 :(
 
@LightnessRacesinOrbit It does characterize the whole forum as male, though. Which I know isn't what you meant, but it comes off that way. So I edited.
Creative username.
 
@hichris123 Meh, seems pointless.
It's like going to target and shouting at the uneducated minimum-wage workers about how there's a "boy's" clothing section.
It no make senses
 
@bjb568 I find it more offensive that you called them uneducated
 
Well, there ya go.

@bjb568 I'm confused how this relates...?
 
It doesn't.

@AndrewT. nah, a NAA at most
 
user259867
The definition of flag spam is "not useful or relevant, but promotional". I think this is relevant, but would be better placed as a comment.
 
Ok, thanks!
 
IMHO spam, but I can see disagreement.
 
user259867
The huge image is unnecessary and makes the post look like an ad. I would edit it out.

Q: We need to improve the quality of our spam!

UndoRecently, I've noticed a downhill effect in the quality of spam posted on Stack Exchange websites. Take this as an example (found on Space.SE): There are a great many things wrong with this artifact: There is not one capitalized letter in the entire post. (-1 grammar point.) The only pun...

This was the best example:
 
I love everything about that.
This results in the future. I also think we should merge sailsjs into sails.js as C++ requires an explicit return type to be int. — Cole Johnson Dec 11 '13 at 17:57

"Use 3 plusses to indicate inserted text" <-- I don't see these as pluses.
 
user259867
"add inline code which contents don't get parsed." <-- "the contents of which" would be more grammatical. And down with contractions.
 
user259867
Parsing 5^2 is nice. But spell-check "parenthatheses"

Using $ for subscript is weird, but you probably can't use underscore for that like mathematicians do.
 
user259867
3:43 AM
"a formatting sequence followed by the affected text followed by the same formatting sequence" is much too complicated. Just say that inline formatting uses symmetric delimiters.

Q: Why isn't the predictor predicting?

BraiamSince "Jan 8 at (more or less) 19:57" the predictor or Tag Future Report hasn't been updated. This could screw more than one Recommended/Interesting tabs of Stack Overflow users. How often does this script run? Will not run anymore? Why it isn't running? When will it start predicting again?

 
ah, I missed that post
 
So it looks like this predictor runs on all the graduated sites? and not metas? But shouldn't meta.SE have it or no?

A: Please use a more obviously synthesized username for new accounts on http://data.stackexchange.com/

Tim Stone Can default name be changed to some more obvious like "Unknown user" or "specify name"? I don't see any problem with changing it to "user####", to be consistent with how the rest of the network works. I think that should be straightforward enough. I'll check to see if there are any objection...

That would be kinda funny if the data explorer dummy name was jon.skeet

why is this query data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/249499/test showing like this? what is the blank?
don't really care
 
4:42 AM
@cVplZ The blank is people who have not entered a location.
 
yea, but it should be way more I'd think
this query picks up lots of spam-only accounts, (probably with no activity), data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/249502/test
 
user259867
And lots of LinkedIn profiles in about me. Maybe exclude those?
 
not saying they all are, just the obvious ones
 
@cVplZ Actually it's people who once had a location but no longer do (their location is an empty string, not null). Use COUNT(*) instead of Count(Location) to also get the NULL ones.
 
^ thanks, that explains it
