What should I do for posts like stackoverflow.com/review/low-quality-posts/6879057? They answer the question, and the question is the problem.... so looks ok?
skip if not sure
@bluet ... that's not an answer to the question.
user259867
@hichris123 The OP says it doesn't actually answer the question. Also, the flag could be VLQ instead of NAA, which I take as "tried to answer, did not succeed".

(My practice on math is to delete unless there is a good reason to keep, but that's just me.)

@Fundamental Oh I was referring to @bluet's message as not an answer to my question. :P

@Braiam On chat? flags @bluet's message as offensive better? :P

Q: Site design for Workplace.se

Stéphane MartinI’m Stéphane, the new designer at Stack Exchange. First, I wanted to announce that this site is now starting the process of moving out of beta to become a fully-graduated site! Congratulations! Graduation and Your Site Design Graduation comes with a few perks. I have already begun work on your ...

It's not by Jin? oh, new designer. Looks promising!
:)
user259867
Two sites that Stéphane designed shortly after joining SE are easy to recognize by the very generous spacing of question lists (Academia and The Workplace). It seems this trend did not continue, however.

Ugh, it's 9 and I haven't graded any homework.

@bjb568 Why is this reminding me of The Homework Machine?

You mean, propose grading.SE, where homework gets posted and voted on? Neat idea.
@hichris123 Ha! I'm 300ms ahead.

It horrifies me that you say that as if it's a bad thing

Those kids nowadays...
Err, reading books, that is
@JanDvorak I know, right?
Yeah, I know.
@bjb obviously needs to read this:
Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury published in 1953. It is regarded as one of his best works. The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found. The title refers to the temperature that Bradbury understood to be the autoignition point of paper. The novel has been the subject of interpretations primarily focusing on the historical role of book burning in suppressing dissenting ideas. In a 1956 radio interview, Bradbury stated that he wrote Fahrenheit 451 because of his concerns at the time (during the McCarthy era) about...

Q: Under which branch of mathematics do vectors fall into?

bolovWell... this is pretty basic. Under which branch of mathematics do vectors fall into? A quick search on the web revealed many kinds of vectors so what I have in mind are this kind of vectors: that for instance in a 3D space are represented as $\vec{v}_{(x,y,z)}$ (with the origin in $(0,0,0)$ ...

@hichris123 watched teh movie
user259867
Much debate ensued, and then, later, the OP clarified:
user259867
I am writing a data structure in C++ for vectors and I want to know under which namespace to declare them.
@bjb568 Actually, read The Veldt.
Another Bradbury story.

02:09
You should also read the Gone series by Michael Grant. (I read it a few years ago, so my memory of it is a bit fuzzy, but I do remember really liking it.)
@Doorknob Never read it.
I like knowing though that I read series before they were cool. I read the Divergent books a couple years back (4?) and the Hunger Games books around the same time.
user259867
Book recommendations are off-topic.
@Fundamental Requests for fundamentals on a topic are off-topic.
@hichris123 "hi" is a greeting and does not belong on SE
Oh, by the way @Doorknob: if you ever have the time, read Michael Crichton's books. You've probably read one or two -- Jurassic Park is one, but all of his are super good.

... why?
Robert Cartaino on September 29, 2010

Stack Exchange is about questions with objective, factual answers. We’ve been crystal clear about this for as long as I can remember, even back to the earliest, pre-beta days of Stack Overflow. It’s right there in the standard Stack Exchange FAQ:

What kind of questions should I not ask here?

Avoid asking questions that are subjective, argumentative, or require extended discussion. This is not a discussion board, this is a place for questions that can be answered!

Thus, questions that are not answerable — discussions, debates, opinions — should be closed as subjective. It seems simple enough: Fact good; opinion and discussion bad. But why? …

The folks at Moms4mom owned up to the subjective issue and came up with a set of principles to create useful subjective discussions on parenting: the Back It Up! Principle. Back It Up! means that your answers must be based on either:

Something that happened to you personally
Something you can back up with a reference
They talk about how “opinion, by itself, is noise.” They’re not saying that subjective opinions are to be avoided; they’re attempting to mold and shape their inherently subjective Q&A into something constructive, informative and helpful. As it turns out, there is an entire f

Sounds like how many of the other sites operate: e.g. science fiction requires canon.

Q: How widespread is the "back it up" principle?

Monica CellioGood Subjective, Bad Subjective refers to the Back It Up principle that was developed on an early SE site. I've seen this principle in use on UX (though I can't find an example right now), and citing sources or experience is standard on Mi Yodeya. Backing up an answer includes citing sources,...

user259867
I never figured out how to actually use the ws: thing, but saw that that URL returns the information I wanted, and used it instead, sending a request every 5 seconds. Works fine.
you use JS
new WebSocket()
But what if we don't want to use JS?
(See github.com/KeyboardFire/stackexchange-chatty for an example of WebSockets in Ruby)
But if you just want to poke around JS is easiest.

@bluet OP is confused by different roles. Asking about mods, linking to Anna Lear...
@SuperstarGamer "this mostly has to do with JAVA networking" - Firstly, nothing about your question even lightly hints of anything to do with Java, the programming language, and I'm pretty sure JAVA is not a separate language. To continue, with no (research / attempt) effort shown at all, this does not fit into our standards of questions on the site as defined by the tour. And finally, your question is ambiguous, it's really hard to tell what you're asking for (even after my edit), and hence voted to close. — Unihedro just now
@Fundamental so s/he just linked to a random mod.. kinda weird question for someone with only 1 account on meta.SE created today... maybe it's a mod on some site that didn't want to post under their real account
