@Pham fp
is not spam... just a bad Q
 
@Braiam Doesn't really make it an fp.
@Sam What's the effect if a question has been registered as tp and fp (like in this case)?

@ProgramFOX That depends.

1:37 PM
Hmm still not for me :/
 
Sam
If the site didn't previously have that term white-listed then the overall score diff will be -4, otherwise there's no change.
 
@ProgramFOX we want accuracy, don't we?
 
@Braiam We do. But fp'ing spam doesn't make it register as a bad post instead, but as a good post. fp == no action needed
 
Sam
cough Pham also has LQ filters cough
 
@ProgramFOX "But fp'ing spam" that's exactly the problem, it shouldn't catch that as spam
is not "spam" in any way possible
if anything, LQ filters should have kicked in, not spam
 
1:41 PM
@Braiam I see your point. Perhaps we should add something like nospambutlq command that handles cases like this.

Q: Chat intermittently experiences good vibrations

BartI'm on Google Chrome (39.0.2171.95 m at the moment) and over the last weeks have experienced vibrations in chat. The kind that make the content move up and down.

i'd say it's good enough to not delete

maybe is because I haven't played the game, but I can't make sense of the answer
 
and I can't mark as false positive anyways

What about an edit to say this:

but in that case he isn't saying how to chop trees....
 
I assume that is what "demolish" is
 
@gunr2171 I still don't understand much
 
hmm.. is there a userscript to add topbar inside chat room?
 
Eh, yeah. Well I'm going to leave it.
 
Not as far as I know

Unless there is a demolish command in the game and the OP didn't realised it could refer to chopping down trees?
That's about the only way I can think the answer could make sense

4:27 PM
Ahhh! I missed it!
 
@LynnCrumbling Because with his conditions he does not get rows with the same RANK, so Row_Number and RANK are showing the same values, other then shown in the examples posted in other answers, that's the point which makes him ask. Inserting a duplicate row is the fastest way for im to see the difference between RANK and Row_Number. BTW he was posting another answer before on SQLServer, where I can't see how it should be useful, but at least it's no question
 
@bummi I see two rows that I would have throught are dupes:
Insert some data

INSERT INTO dbo.#TestTable (id, create_date, info1, info2)
VALUES (1, '1/1/09', 'Blue', 'Green')
Repeat same Values for 1

INSERT INTO dbo.#TestTable (id, create_date, info1, info2) VALUES (1, '1/1/09', 'Blue', 'Green')
@bummi Aren't those lines identical?

Search "turtle," ......there are 24 separate codes for turtles :)
 
@Shokhet If there was another jet lined up PERFECTLY, or perhaps an unattached one, mounted to a testing platform just behind the other, I argue that we would indeed need a subsequent encounter diagnosis.

Holy crap. They actually have INDIVIDUAL codes as to whether you were hit by a VOLLEYBALL or a FOOTBALL.
AND!! As a bonus!! Was it flag football? Touch? Perhaps tackle?
 
@LynnCrumbling And, obviously, separate codes for initial, subsequent, and following encounters
@LynnCrumbling And, regarding football,
> It does not include non-north american football (= soccer)
 
@Shokhet Well of course. OR, perhaps you were hit by a football helmet and not a actual football.

@Undo Statistics or probability? A lot of schools seem to mix the two different subjects into one class, which I then observe in the form of wrong tags on Mathematics

A problem involving fair dice is a probability problem. Generally, probability is the science of manipulating with assumed distributions; statistics is the science of validating assumptions about distributions.
