Well, that and the user hasn't been since since August of last year

@Andy That's quite an absence. How on earth do people not visit SO at least once a week in search of how to do something?

Unless he's quit programming altogether.

Not sure. I'm not the one to ask such a question

@bjb568 Rewriting xy'+y as (xy)' is "using the product rule [backwards]". Then you integrate.

and it's xy = sin(x)+C

I'd be in favor of a regex for the same 1-10 characters repeated at least x times, though.

@Undo In favor of making it a keyword?

@Undo But yes to this.. for sure.

^^

@LynnCrumbling Errmmm maybe

that's something I'd want to ask @ProgramFOX

@Undo Thing is a lot of code is that way..

7:21 PM

@Undo I missed the spam, what was it about?

@Frank we already have a way to strip out code

@ProgramFOX uh lemme get you a screenshot :)

hmm...

@Undo What if a smart troll puts offensive stuff in his code/

user259867

A possible test: split text by space; if all words are of the same length the post is nonsense.

7:23 PM

@Frank how many smart trolls do you know?

@Undo true... lol

@ProgramFOX What's the context on a small sample of those?

user259867

@Frank Currently, code is removed only for repeated characters test.

(sample = [3,5])

@LynnCrumbling I bet a couple hundred of them were on Gaming

7:23 PM

@Undo This is not an accurate depiction of the spam. I didn't have to scroll seven times to see the entire thing.

user259867

But I don't know how often such posts come up.

@LynnCrumbling I found posts on English, Homebrew, Parenting, Scifi, Skeptics and even Electronics.

@Pham I THINK that's an answer... thoughts?

7:37 PM

right

It was TPA'd by Mooseman - but is it actually a tp?

@LynnCrumbling It was originally posted as an answer. A moderator converted it to a comment.

:D

... oh, right, now it also matches "aaaaa" because the space is optional

@Andy Ah!

Mooseman

7:38 PM

@LynnCrumbling yes. it should be a comment on the accepted answer. even the answerer thinks that.

I'll make the space non-optional

@LynnCrumbling He posted as answer, I flagged naa (others prolly did too), and it was converted to comment.

@ProgramFOX Looks awesome, thanks!

Hiya sue, how are you?

whoops, didn't mean to rhyme lol

I'm wishing I could get multiple copy editor badges on one site

Lol. Isn't that from Boy Named Sue? My name is Sue, How do you do, Now you gonna die...

never read.

lol

@Frank That would be cool cuz I do lots of editing.

11:11 PM

@Sue So do I.

On GL, 1184 revisions, 937 of which count toward copy editor.

I'm praying for a new laptop so I can make use of the functions of the site, and answer questions better.

Go buy one from craigslist

xD

@Frank Glad you're still editing though-keeps up the quality.

Yeah, badges aren't the main incentive here

Fun though! Got excavator on biology.

11:14 PM

awesome!

If Electorate was awardable multiple times, I'd have almost 5 now

You're user#6 on GL (by rep) this year, nice

You should suggest it-people like badges, and there's no harm if they're earned doing good stuff.

But I know what they would say I think

@Frank Cool! Prob cuz activity's been quiet...

@Sue oh don't be such a pessimist - you worked for it.

@Frank I've been wandering around meta looking for something before asking, and came across a comment from someone who said they used meta for bedtime reading! Cute!
