Ah that was you
Feb 22 at 4:23, by Famous Blue Raincoat
... which will enter private beta on Tuesday, according to schedule.
Wat schedule?
user259867
Yes, the schedule is to launch private betas on Tuesdays:
user259867
we try to launch closer to morning Eastern time, but once in a while things get in the way - designers are backlogged and don't get to make the icons, I sleep in another hour, systems are under maintenance, etc. etc. This may even change to another day in the week at some point, who knows.
@FamousBlueRaincoat I can't find "Tuesday " anywhere in your quote...
Wat am I missing...
Ha, I guess someone didn't like me destroying their sense of security.
user259867
14:08
@nicael You have to read between the lines, I guess. Or consult the timeline of SE sites and observe that in modern times (near the bottom of the page) all private beta launches are on Tuesdays.
@Bart must edit the question!
@FamousBlueRaincoat actually it's mostly Monday, not Tuesday
I'd say "beginning of week" is most safe to use
@ShadowWizard UTC Tuesday
:/
So that they have full week to evaulaute the site
@Braiam not sure what you mean. I saw "2015-02-02" in the timeline, and according to my Calendar 2015-02-02 is monday.
It can also be Friday on some distant planet...
14:12
@Bart You can also technically decompile C. You do lose variable names, though.
2015-02-24 is indeed Tuesday, so it's not 100% consistent
user259867
@ShadowWizard I'll look into that. Possibly borked conversion of timestamp to readable form.
@JanDvorak certainly. That kind of security is an illusion. But in this particular scenario it took me a literal 10 seconds to illustrate the example. Taking the screenshots took more effort.
true...
I also miss a good opportunity to practice my ASM.
user259867
Yes, the results returned by API are off by one compared to Area 51 pages. The table was grabbed from the API, except for a couple of last lines I added manually. Will look into it later today.
14:14
offuscate all teh things!
@FamousBlueRaincoat weird.... but still, it's not consistent so we can't really say "it's always on Monday/Tuesday"
user259867
In practice it was Tuesday for all betas after [ja.so], which was a special case.
user259867
It's true that in the longer term there is less consistency.
user259867
Gah, still no magic link. Unlike for Stack Overflow em Português
TIL that I'm not the only one in the world who rescued the source from an assembly...
14:19
wow this one really turned into gold mine of reputation... hope they won't delete it for at least 90 days :D
Uh, yes, indeed
[jp.so] [ja.so] [日本.so]
user259867
Also of People Reached. I had reached ~20K people before that thread; now I'm at ~30K.
2k for me. =D
I'm a lurker.
Well. I also review, close, downvote, etc.
Which reaches noone.
@FamousBlueRaincoat the PR is the most.... unreliable... stat I ever saw. But yeah, guess you are right :D
user259867
14:23
Well, it could be worse. It could be Klout.
Klout? goes Googling
user259867
@J.Steen site too slooow, will look on wikipedia
Yeah, the site sucks.
14:25
Klout is a website and mobile app that uses social media analytics to rank its users according to online social influence via the "Klout Score", which is a numerical value between 1 and 100. In determining the user score, Klout measures the size of a user's social media network and correlates the content created to measure how other users interact with that content. Klout launched in 2008. == Klout Score == === Overview === Klout uses Bing, Facebook, Foursquare, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Wikipedia data to create Klout user profiles that are assigned a unique "Klout Score". Klout...
much faster!
How boxed.
@J.Steen wikipedia links always onebox
same as xkcd and pictures
and amazon products
I know. It just can't do markdown. =D
@J.Steen it also can't make coffee.... :-(
user259867
@J.Steen No Markdown, just post the link and nothing else.
14:27
coffee... guess I should make one :D
!wiki klout
@FamousBlueRaincoat I meant, the box doesn't render existing markdown.
borked, or wrong syntax...
@ShadowWizard yes, please
@FamousBlueRaincoat think he means the onebox doesn't support markdown so it looks messy
14:27
@ShadowWizard Boxed coffee...
user259867
Got it

@J.Steen go get a cow then! but who needs milk? You can make yourself black coffee :D
15:17
@J.Steen what on earth are you doing to your coffee with milk?
flag given
@Bart Sometimes, coffee requires milk.
@J.Steen +1, for instant coffee
but no milk == black coffee or espresso etc
And I assume you eat your toast without butter, too!
15:20
@J.Steen and chocolate without sugar! gasp
@ShadowWizard Now you're just being weird. =D

Q: Minimum requirements of self-answered question

ArceusMaster0493Are there any rules (or guidelines) for a Asking and Answering your own question? What are the minimum requirements a self-answered question needs to meet, or do you treat it just like a normal question (like this one)?

You can delete them as well if you like
This one. ^ Can someone please vote to close as it is a duplicate? Thank you.
Is there some issue with SE? When I start to edit a post, the formatting bar is not showing.
The one that I never use?
15:48
@Farhan what post are you editing?
What formatting bar, like the one with bold and italic buttons?
Learn markdown
@ArceusMaster0493 yes
@Farhan Which question/answer/post?
^Undo
@Farhan F12 --> Network tab --> Reload
any errors?
15:49
@JanDvorak I know markdown, but that bar saves time.
@Farhan when?
keyboard -> mouse -> keyboard.. no, it doesn't save time
@ShadowWizard CDN requests takes a long time (I've been noticing it for several days). That's the only error there.
@Farhan but no 404 or 500 errors on your side? Console?
Can't see any reason for the editor buttons to just vanish
@ShadowWizard No
15:52
Is it on all sites?
@Undo I only notice it on aviation
norepro here
Behind a work firewall or something?
@ShadowWizard It could be my network, but i've have been seeing it for several days, only on SE. All other sites work fine.
@Farhan if you browse this, what you get?
15:55
...
oops
@Farhan I mean do you get error?
three rows of buttons
might go make a post on meta.Aviation.SE tagged [design][bug]
@ShadowWizard no error
15:55
So try hard refresh, clear your cache.
Now it's working fine
@ShadowWizard Why does clearing cache matter?
ah okay yay
@Undo nah, it would just get marked after 6-8 weeks/years
16:14
Nice flowers, @Doorknob
@InfiniteRecursion Long time no see!
16:31
What to do here, the only spammy thing is the irrelevant disclosure superuser.com/a/882990/172747, edit it out?
user259867
@bummi Yes, you could: with edit summary saying that last sentence is not really disclosure but an irrelevant link.
user259867
It's like me ending every post with "Disclosure: I have a blog at [url]".
@LynnCrumbling Was enjoying a long vacation :)
Well, it's pretty cold out there for a duck.
Avg temps at night here... 2F-6F.
@LynnCrumbling :D
16:37
@FamousBlueRaincoat A nice way to place spam IMHO
@bummi Yeah.. I feel like that entire thing needs to be edited out or changed to a non-link.
If they continue, cast a mod-flag to have their account deleted
@InfiniteRecursion I would have stayed on vacation longer ;-)
@LynnCrumbling You mean, Infinite Vacation? ;)
@ProgramFOX cheers
@ProgramFOX Or.. Infinite Vacation Vacation Vacation Vacation Vacation ...
16:44
@LynnCrumbling I tied the knot this valentine's, so it was a short vacation :D
@InfiniteRecursion Congratulations.. Mrs. Duck!
@LynnCrumbling Thanks
@InfiniteRecursion Hope you got to go somewhere warm.
@LynnCrumbling Yes :D
Hi Inf! Haven't seen you in a bit
16:47
Hiya @Frank :)
If you CW your own answer, can you then vote for it yourself?
no
@JanDvorak you can't
CW is still your answer. You get badges for it and it shows on your profile.
that's unfortunate. It would have been really useful for poll-type questions
nothing interesting in the transcript since I was last here...
@JanDvorak you already knew that, no?
16:50
Nope
@Frank Sorry to disappoint :-/
@LynnCrumbling lol
@Frank We'll try harder next time. Please. Give us another chance, man!
haha
Ok, you have one more try.
My car still smells like chili.
16:51
Fail me again, and...
thinks of something scary
@LynnCrumbling I misread that as "cat" -_-
where's dorky borky?
@ProgramFOX pictures circumstances of how a cat could end up smelling like chili
@Frank Don't summon them
where's ahmad?

le sigh
you're supposed to bring a spare pot half filled with half of it, and dump it all together upon arrival.
At least, that's what I do
@Frank That sounds much too thought-out compared to what I ended up doing.
16:56
*you're, half-filled
^grammar nazi
@JanDvorak idec, go lecture a worm
:P
People told me that I should have renamed the chili: "Car Floor Scrapings".
gross

@LynnCrumbling My truck is all leather inside, so easier to clean up.
user259867
17:00
It's Times Square actually, a while back.
@FamousBlueRaincoat The Shog !!
@Frank Hrmm. I managed to deposit most of the debris between the passenger-side door.. and the seat. I'm sure the tracks are filled that the seat slides on. Blech.
@Frank My seats are leather, so they were the only thing that was easy to deal with. My upholstery is borked, though.
@LynnCrumbling poor you
@Frank I was only 2 minutes away from work when it happened, too.

@ColeJohnson For answering an off-topic question?
17:34
@ColeJohnson thought you were gonna post a flag request. :D
@FamousBlueRaincoat I did mention in the question's comments puzzles.SE would be a better fit (I have an account there also)
user259867
@Frank It's an off-topic question that hit the Hot Network list and raked in some upvotes before it was shut down.
user259867
It would be more appropriate to downvote the answer, imo.
@Frank if you want to flag for migration, please
@ColeJohnson well you have 6 1/2 hours to get the next one :P
17:36
if it is migrated before the UTC day ends, and then I get an upvote, do I still got the rep cap?

@FamousBlueRaincoat Would there be? Maybe.. :-/
At least make it more audit-specific.
@FamousBlueRaincoat what about actions by other users only?
As in, the taverners help each other out
20:01
Like "vote to dispute this edit as invalid and relief the audited reviewer".
That way you don't randomly get unbanned.
user259867
@JanDvorak Or robo-reviewers help each other out?
But. Think of what the roomnottobenamed regulars would do, it's easily abused
@FamousBlueRaincoat unlikely
Sometimes the robo-reviewers just want to help, too.
For example, the robo suggested edits reviewers room occasionally changes reviewers. Some of them do take the education.
If the "get this innocent reviewer back on the road" feature is explained well and ensures thorough understanding for all good faith, then robo-reviewers would know better than to help each other out just for the sake of it.
