@bummi 92 rep user post smells spam

I took a look at him, other post seemed to be ok, and the question is inviting crap, other answers don't look reeaaly better for me, lets close the question?

Voted to close already, sitting and waiting for its final close vote of doom.

@Unihedro I'll add a delete vote then ..

Q: VLQ Review queue Recommend Deletion description

The description for Recommend Deletion action in the VLQ review queue is pretty silly: Recommend Deletion to recommend that this answer be deleted A new user can figure that out on their own. Can we change this to some more descriptive like the other actions have? For example: Recommend...

@bjb568 to be fair, only non-robo reviewers would ever read the tooltip. You have to wait like what, a whole 3 seconds for it to pop up? screw that

Default, unless you close it manually.

@Sompuperoo Pretty sure it's client side.

I just spammed the thing, it didn't take any time at all.

And once you close it, it will never expand again, so you won't be able to see which Off Topic reason the review task is under.

I just wanted to name a file com1.png for some good reason.... but nooo.

@Behaviour lolwhy?

user259867

Because Windows!

Really? :O

Yeah. :D

1:02 AM

@Unihedro eh? why markdown?

and I mean bare markdown on HTML

@Braiam I wrote a short script in the source <script> tags to parse them into links.

user259867

> Ever since I've gotten the vote to close privilege, I wanted to help!

Unfortunately, my javascript sucks, so it has a syntax error which I can't resolve.

user259867

At least it quotes nicely.

@Behaviour It's same as my about me here: stackoverflow.com/users/3622940/unihedro

1:04 AM

@Unihedro syntax errors are easy to find, just paste the whole thing in a JS beautifier

jshint.com <- Over-complainer, but ok

@Braiam What's that?

@Unihedro ie jsbeautifier.org

1:26 AM

whoooooooosh goes the wind

user259867

If your first step is 1 meter, second is 1/2 meters, third is 1/3 meters, and so on... you will walk infinitely far.

user259867

But if you turn to your right (90 degrees) after each step... you will never be more than 2 meters away from your starting point.

user259867

(that was your random math fact of the day)

Well, isn't that common sense?

1/n just feels slow enough of decay that it'll diverge.

@bjb568 ? think you mean jslint, jshint is a nice friend who barely ever complains

1:29 AM

But durr if you're turning, you're spiraling.

user259867

You can still imagine spiraling out to infinity.

@Sompuperoo It complains when I do if (whatever) return whatever;

@Behaviour No, spiraling in.

Each step is shorter.

It makes no sense to spiral out to infinity with decreasing lengths when it's just tau/4 angles.

@Behaviour You can't really walk 1/1000000000 of a meter, though.

user259867

Right, spiraling in to some point. I'll have to draw this.

@hichris123 Math is more pure than physics things.

1:31 AM

@bjb568 It's theoretically possible, but in actuality impossible.

Yes

user259867

Unless you are walking your spherical dog on a weightless inextensible leash.

@Behaviour Makes me think about Gravity

I love spherical dogs.

Way less annoying.

user image

Best approximation I could find.

@bjb568 Nothing like sleeping with the nose in the butt

1:40 AM

Yup.

Looks more like torus tho.

I miss having a dog :/

They're such little derps

user259867

user image

user259867

^ This is what I actually meant. Each step is 1/n, and at right angle to the radius-vector from the origin.

user259867

Not from the direction of the previous step, as I said by mistake.

user259867

So the path has infinite length, is spiraling out, but will never leave the circle of radius 2 around the origin.

I almost just migrated a question to pt.so instead of SO. That wouldn't have been funny.

@bjb568 it's that high? I hadn't noticed.

@UndotheSnowman Does it rival Jon Skeet yet?

@ɥʇǝS Frank has 101. Signup + Affiliation, no catch.

@Gemtastic Spam post! Another spam post! And this one needs closing! I better beg for CVs in the tavern! Another spam post has appeared on Drupal!

2:23 AM

@Behaviour goes to edit 5 posts

@Unihedro And occasionally "NO! Noone online in tavern! Java chat it is is! CV plz kitten eyes"

@Unihedro Yeah I asked a few stupid questions. That's probably how I got my rep. Or maybe I just found it under a rock. Can't recall.

Actually, I really want to try to make a bot to identify NAAs.

It really can't be that hard.

Undo the Snowman

As long as no one hardcoded credentials

@UndotheSnowman Not if I get to it first. :P

Oh oh oh!

You must redeem yourself, @Undo!

:P

user259867

IMO, NAAs don't really require a Blaze-type bot; since there is no urgent need to kill them, one can run whatever logic on SO weekly data in SEDE.

@Behaviour But... free flags! Flag weight!

user259867

2:34 AM

NAA flags don't have that much cumulative effect; one is usually enough. And there is no flag weight anymore.

Net flags (helpful - declined) still progress on expanding your daily flag cap until you have the max of 100.

@Behaviour I'd run off of a data dump.

user259867

But that one is updated like... once a year.

@Behaviour Few months, to be more specific. But you can run it locally.

@Behaviour Ha, guess what, happy new year.

user259867

2:36 AM

Hm, how many non-deleted answers does SO get per week? I think it may be under 50000, so the weekly dose may be downloadable from SEDE.

We can find out by doing experiments and applying basic maths.

user259867

(even if it isn't, it's not hard to split the week into two halves and download separately)

Rejected. And audits should handle the approver soon.

<-- le n00b :)

I think the pinned message should be unpinned. Anyone disagree? Speak now.

Infinite Snowflakes

Shog has no snow in his name, winter is coming to an end. I too, will revert back to my real name soon.

3:27 AM

@Sompuperoo is really the "helpers" tag needed?

idk, haven't checked it out

Infinite Snowflakes

@Sompuperoo is concerned about the pinned message ATM

user259867

Chinese New Year is in February, but... yeah, the message can go.

@Inf please unpin the message, it is good message, but takes up valuable star wall real estate. No one has spoken out against unpinning it. Please unpin so we can continue with usual business proceedings, thanks.

user259867

I wish winter was coming to an end. Unfortunately it's only winter celebrations that are ending...

Infinite Snowflakes

3:36 AM

Done

ty :D

@Behaviour FYI winter is always coming...

dunno if to an end or start... but it's coming

3:52 AM

In my country it's "Brace yourselves; winter is momentarily coming and going"

Sleet and black ice everywhere

It's all dry here

We only had snow for two day or so. Fast came, fast gone.

Idle observation: language-wise, Tavern appears to be leaning toward Java/Android. For example, I don't see C# or Python people around often. Is the observation correct?

@Behaviour no, because in the tavern there ain't people... just animals, geometric figures and 2D/3D entities

You should totally drop that and... wait no. You should totally place it down and listen instead.

@bjb568 It's mentioned in "code quality" part on DD

Oh.

Well, I suppose it's a good habit.

user259867

I now read Best practice for semicolon after every function in javascript?, which explained it somewhat.

And I think there were some side effects or something…

Oh yeah that.

Anyway, I don't do function parenthathes literal things.

@bjb568 you mean IIFEs? Why?

I have no need to.

6:06 AM

so that you don't pollute the global global namespace?

Everything is already in functions.

Like the HTTP server callback function.

Or file read callbacks.

Or database callbacks.

Infinite Snowflakes

Eek! Users are gaming flags from the LQRQ :/

@Luke - I apologize for the harsh wording on the decline reason, but we've seen a few people lately using flags from within the Low Quality Posts review queue to game helpful flags. We saw a number of flags that you had left immediately before you voted to delete posts, and it looked like that's what you were trying to do here. If it was merely a misunderstanding as to the purpose of flags, I'm sorry about the warning in the flag response. — Brad Larson ♦ 9 hours ago

@InfiniteSnowflakes Is it even possible to flag a post as NAA then also vote to delete it?

i thought that would make you ineligible to review it

if not it should..

Or just unbork NAA/VLQ completely and clarify the use of other flags!

Infinite Snowflakes

I don't know if it's possible, it never asked me to review anything which I flagged.

6:13 AM

@Servy allowing a user to simultaneously flag and recommend deletion is simply a bug, known and admitted by SE team. Other than that, there is nothing conceptually wrong when user picks one (not both) of either re-flag or recommend deletion, just for the reasons I laid out in prior comment — gnat 9 hours ago

so the abusive users are gaming it :/
