Tavern on the Meta

Ha, I guess someone didn't like me destroying their sense of security.

@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...

2:12 PM

@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.

2:14 PM

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...

2:19 PM

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

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

2:23 PM

Well, it could be worse. It could be Klout.

Klout? goes Googling

klout.com/corp/score

user259867

Though please do confirm that it's actually *me* on Klout first, and not one of my friends trying to get me punched. The great thing about this douchebag deadman switch is that I will never dare trigger it.

@J.Steen site too slooow, will look on wikipedia

Yeah, the site sucks.

2:25 PM

Klout

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.

2:27 PM

coffee... guess I should make one :D

Andrew T.

!wiki klout

@FamousBlueRaincoat I meant, the box doesn't render existing markdown.

Andrew T.

borked, or wrong syntax...

@ShadowWizard yes, please

@FamousBlueRaincoat think he means the onebox doesn't support markdown so it looks messy

2:27 PM

@ShadowWizard Boxed coffee...

user259867

Got it

Everybody on a coffee-break, even the spammers?

@rene it's like the Christmas truce

In that case, where is the football match?

@rene apparently not here. Just kicked a ball through the office, but it wasn't appreciated.

Oh, sod, coffee! I need coffee.

I HAVE NO MILK.

@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!

3:20 PM

@J.Steen and chocolate without sugar! gasp

Q: Minimum requirements of self-answered question

Phew long time no see

Are 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?

@Far

3:48 PM

@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?

3:49 PM

@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

3:52 PM

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?

@ShadowWizard this:

cdn.sstatic.net/beta/Img/wmd-buttons.png?v=e3424bd42fad

3:55 PM

...

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

3:55 PM

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 status-norepro after 6-8 weeks/years

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]".

Well, it's pretty cold out there for a duck.

@LynnCrumbling :D

4:37 PM

@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

@LynnCrumbling I tied the knot this valentine's, so it was a short vacation :D

@LynnCrumbling Thanks

@InfiniteRecursion Hope you got to go somewhere warm.
