I'll make it easy for you: whenever you see a PHP question in triage, it's probably unsalvageable. — BoltClock ♦ 14 hours ago

Stats election entered the final phase. Number of positions = number of viable candidates. Easiest voting decision ever.
I find it odd that two of those candidates have 400-500 rep, one has ~14k, and the other has 95k.
That's a pretty massive discrepancy.

Yup, that explains things about some governments.

> IT SAYS ITS NOT COMPATIBILITY WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1
haha
COMPATIBILITY IS DISAPPEAR
@Woodface Yes, it does. I have to support Windows XP with IE8...
@Woodface I'm not a member on Stats, but this post is fairly lack luster:
> I like statistics and finance, which I also studied at Bachelor and Master level. Therefore I would like to also become a moderator for the site with a focus on undergrad questions.

@Andy Still better than the mods on Lifehacks. :P
LH might suck, but the mods are ours...
user259867
@AlexisKing The two high-reps have between 1000 and 2000 reviews (reasonable for the medium-sized site). The two other candidates have 1 review combined.
@AlexisKing Uh, thanks? ...
@Frank Hey, it's your fault for associating yourself with that abomination.
user259867
20:12
Lifehacks didn't have mod elections.
^^
@Frank You are not taking it out of context properly:
I know, I'm just teasing. :P
> better mods on Lifehacks.
Better hope that Musser guy doesn't show up here. He's gonna be really bummed about all the shit-talking y'all do.

It's okay until meta chat gets merged with SE chat. He can't be in blue here.

Q: Assimilate chat.MSE into chat.SE

DoorknobRecently, there was a user in the Tavern who was... um, either highly delusional or a bot.

@Frank I came here to show off my comment - it's above,
@SabreTooth seen it from ES chat.

@AlexisKing Me too.

@AlexisKing In that case, some abominations are AWESOME!
@SmokeDetector Weirdly, there's not a capital letter to be found in her user name.

LifeHacks.... no comment
@Frank I know! (source: I recently ate some cheesecake.)
@AlexisKing and bacon!
Cheesecake wrapped in bacon!
20:21
@AlexisKing Deep fried!
I'm not sure how I'd do that with my usual kitchen appliances. I'll go ask a question about it on Lifehacks.
You know, I came here thinking I'd learn a bit more about MSE, maybe ask a Q or two. But no, you're talking about Deep fried bacon cheesecakes...
@Shog9 huh?

@SabreTooth ... that would be SO
Lifehacks is the rec center.

lol, I would have thought it was the homewares department of Walmart
@SabreTooth haha

I am still very curious to see a 'lifehacks expert', maybe they work in walmart?
@SabreTooth macGyver

@SabreTooth @Mooseman and @michaelpri, possibly? They're quite good.
user273376
@JanDvorak lol
user273376
@Frank possibly
@SabreTooth I'll open a question on LH's meta requesting to burninate all the tags on the site due to lack of experts with witty titles like "What are we [cleaning]?" and "Do we need [efficiency]?"
user273376
@AlexisKing lol
If Metas had reputation, I'd totally farm so much rep from burninate requests. :(
20:34
@AlexisKing actually, no. You would get dv's, notifications, and eventually question bans... :D
@Shog9 will the team intervene somehow in the fate of the Coffee site? 0.6 questions per day sounds like a fatal illness.
Sounds like they need some sort of stimulant

@ShadowWizard what about community builders?
@Shog9 Coffagra?
20:35
@AlexisKing so SO is not really anything like LH... believe me.
@ShadowWizard pivot to cocaine.stackexchange.com
@Frank Oh, I was referring to SO with my rep-farming comment, not LH. :P
make off-topic
lol
so I take this as a "no" ]:

20:37
@ShadowWizard but 61 visits a day is really impressive.
@Frank those who committed as experts should have been those builders, but...
(I feel little bad too, but my knowledge about coffee sums up in drinking it :))
> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the OP could pass a drug test.
@AlexisKing wrong reply, think you meant it as reply to this, no?
1,579 visits a day on LH - much healthier than 61.
Would you flag this as spam? stackoverflow.com/a/29219573/2632129
It's more self promotion, but aint a flag for that
20:39
@Frank yup. hacks more interesting than coffee
@ShadowWizard No, my reply was intentional, but that's probably funnier. :P
@Frank yeah, but team can't do anything about it. They can however ask a bunch of questions themselves to try and revive the site, question-wise at least.
@James I think that qualifies as spam.
@James no, not monetal. And they did put in their affiliation.
but still lq
@ShadowWizard GL is up to 5,362 visits/day. Good for a slow beta...
@James no flag, just DV if you feel like that, and it might be better suited as comment.
@Frank yeah, guess GL will graduate at some point :)

Do sites have to go out of beta before they get their own visual themes?
user259867
@JasonC Yes. Normally, the two events are (nearly) simultaneous.
user259867
But SE is trying out a new thing, where going out of beta comes without a custom theme. Congratulations! You're about to graduate… with a twist
21:48
Mechanics and Magento are the two most popular sites that aren't in the graduation queue. Raspberry Pi is the next one after them.
Oh interesting.
@KevinBrown Yeah incidentally mechanics is the one that prompted me to ask that.
I think all three of them are going through self evaluations this month
@KevinBrown mechanics is only 88% answered...
Magento is at 79%, but it also gets ~45 questions per day
GL is at 99% cuz we actually have expert(s) there.
21:53
SO is like 75% I think

Well I gotta work; peace.

I wonder why lifehacks looks so healthy, if no one but me likes it? area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/64409/lifehacks

Jeff Atwood on January 31, 2012

Way back in 2008, we had Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, the founders and co-creators of Reddit, on the Stack Overflow podcast. We chatted about a bunch of stuff, but one of the things they said that always stuck with me was that Reddit always took an explicitly hands-off, no moderation approach to their content from the very beginning.

I found that a bit shocking, since I’ve… never seen that work. Certainly on Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange we are very much pro-moderation — and more so with every passing year. We have literally hundreds of community moderators. We spend  …

21:59
@Woodface So? ..
user259867
You pointed to popularity metrics and said "so healthy". So there.
@Woodface 'no one but me likes it' =! 'so healthy'
I assumed you meant SO healthy, as in "healthy like Stack Overflow".

@Woodface I keep trying to click "Yes" but it just opens your dialog by itself in a new tab, and clicking there doesn't work. Am I missing something?
Is it a problem with my cookies?
No, you need more RAM.
@Woodface Looks good.

Feel free to use it on DD.

But I just defragmented my hard drive so I should have plenty of RAM.
Yup.
@JasonC It's probably caching.
Ohhh that explains it thanks. I'll try to disable it in the registry.

Alexis KingWhat you really have are two sets, not arrays, but unfortunately JavaScript does not provide any sort of "set" datatype.

The top-voted answer is some massive JS clusterfuck.
@AlexisKing I have a total of 15 0-scored answers on GL, out of 564 in all. None are negative voted.
I don't understand the javascript tag.
