I wonder how that picture looks in inverted colors...

Infinite Recursion

The direction of the head tells you it's me.

The beauty of the picture will be lost in inverted colors @Raff :(

Unihedron

Yeah, it's an artistic pic. Inverting the colors would probably make it anticlimatic.

Q: Profile Page Makeover, Part 3: the Prototype returns

You may recall this thing - our profile page makeover prototype, the reloaded user page. We posted a prototype 6 months ago and got a lot of feedback. Since then, generations of dinosaurs were born, fell in love, had families and were eventually killed by a comet. Or climate change, or maybe tex...

The Guy with The Hat

4:45 PM

@ProgramFOX What does that mean?

All I know about web stuff is the basics of HTML.

ProgramFOX

@TheGuywithTheHat You have to send a specific POST request to the server. That's the only way to get it. Just going to the tour won't help.

The Guy with The Hat

That's weird

ProgramFOX

POST (HTTP)

In computing, POST is one of many request methods supported by the HTTP protocol used by the World Wide Web. The POST request method is designed to request that a web server accept the data enclosed in the request message's body for storage. It is often used when uploading a file or submitting a completed web form. In contrast, the HTTP GET request method is designed to retrieve information from the server. As part of a GET request, some data can be passed within the URI's query string, specifying for example search terms, date ranges, or other information that defines the query. As part of a POST...

cVplZ

maybe the people helped should only add views * .05 , and then add upvotes, and revisions on others posts, giving person helped for every view is crazyness, that's like starring any message posted in the tavern

Infinite Recursion

I helped 58k people in 11 months, am happy!! \o/

The existence of that count is going to propell me to make more posts for sure..

Is @cVplZ upset?

cVplZ

@InfiniteRecursion i'm not upset, just sayin

user259867

Closing and deleting questions helps too, but is it counted?

cVplZ

@Raff you could say that each question you get deleted helps every single person that uses SO. So each question you delete should get 10 million people helps.

hichris123

@cVplZ Personally I don't even like the counter... I mean, it tells me nothing.

I prefer not to opine one way or the other. I could see an objective reason but I can't tell whether there is one because my Haskell is very very very very very very very very very very rusty. It's pretty much just rusty dust at this point.

what do you suggest instead of Haskell?

I don't suggest anything instead of Haskell. I just happen to work mostly with Python and JavaScript these days.
