@bjb568 What's the difference between browsers?
none
I'm showing that they all are crappy, so you can't just blame Safari.
user259867
I'm not wild about the outline either, but it can't be changed for an embedded chart. If I rewrote the thing using Data Visualization API, that would be possible. Some other time..

Anyone planning on unpinning that message about the bots?
Why's it pinned anyway?

one word, duuuuuh
OOOOOO Bjb likes someone?
does he even like like somebody?
what is this, kindergarten?
Ummm, this is the Tavern, sooooo roughly yeah
1:02 AM
no

Obviously we are kindergarteners.

I sometimes catch myself using SE close reasons when answering questions by email...
1:21 AM
I close my history essay questions as NARQ then flag them for mod attention as plagiarism.
Then, regretfully, I answer in pain. I answer in vain.
user259867
Closing and answering... a move to score some points, I know.
That's what screwed up point systems are about.

diy use to be very well designed , but it was ruined , also something very weird is going on with the loading of diy since the change and still hasn't been fixed
still relevant ^
should i start a bug on meta.SE even though already reported on diy's meta here ?
hmm... the logo looks more like architect/engineering than home improvement
what loading?
it's like no one that could figure it out has seen it probably
@AndrewT. there's loading bug in firefox , maybe other browswers, i've timed it at 6 seconds to load any page all the time
even going back to diy from another site open in another tab, just scrolling is bugged slow....... so its made diy like unusable like dialup
no repro on Win7/Chrome42. loaded in ~2s, from SG
I'll try other browsers
Regarding the starred message by @BradLarson, is there a meta post about this? I agree those are junk edits and he deserved the suspension, and sure, we could go all OCD and roll them all back (those whose owners haven’t already fixed them), but I’d like to first see some pre-approval of that action by the community or its moderators or managers — just to be on the safe side.
3
@Roombatron5000 somewhat repro'd on FireFox... a bit sluggish
1:40 AM
@tchrist plus it was only a 3 day suspension! @nicael got 30 , also they should go through and suspend users that approved these edits... not saying if you approved 1 or 2 of them to be suspended, but if you approved a lot and didn't really reject any they need to be suspended too... well maybe not suspended suspended but banned from reviewing for a while
@tchrist Well, Brad is an SO moderator (I think you know, but...). ;)
Re: pinned message, I wanted to start, but without any status/coordination with other, I don't even know where to start reviewing those edits
@hichris123 Well yes, but so was Mr Superfreako. Then again, it’s harder to get a pin here than elsewhere, and I imagine somebody would have fixed it by now if it had been inappropriate. But I couldn’t understand why I didn’t notice that anything had been done yet.
I mean, it was 10h ago.
So I was nervous.
@tchrist ... Superfreako?
A recent ex moderator. No need to name names.
1:46 AM
That has nothing to do with this...
I’m sure. :)
Anyway, Brad was just saying that he didn't want to do it all alone, and so if the community could help, that would be great.
Too bad the judge’s suspension didn’t include social-justice terms and conditions under which the malefactor had to fix his own mess. :)
this should be on ELU too if not already
dear Firefox: please patch logjam. thanks, - Doorknob
1:54 AM
@tchrist Brad is an SO moderator. He was doing his own thing (which he'd do regardless of anybody's help) and asked for help. It's expected that one uses discretion instead of blindly rolling things back. Specifically, the edits that broke formatting.
The request is reasonable, looking at the list in question.
@santiago flag and disengage.
@santiago Flag the question and walk away.
Yeah that.
have flagged the comments, not sure if anythign would be done though
@santiago flag report it and take your hands off the keyboard
1:57 AM
Flag the question with a custom "needs moderator attention" flag
actually, I have flagged, but are looking at other questions
@santiago You did the correct thing. It will be taken care of when a moderator sees the flags. Until then, just pretend it doesn't exist.
I took the opportunity to beef up my helpful flag count there as well.
Please refer to the "Get Your Head Out of Your Ass" guidelines in the "F*ck You Centre" — Trddu 1 hour ago

@JasonC never let an injustice end without taking advantage of it
Exactly. Glad we're on the same page.

@Doorknob Chrome/ium is in the same boat since Feb, they are just fallbacking (actually FF did first)
preserved in all its glory
@bjb568 lol
2 nc comments left
@bjb568 Probably doesn't need to be preserved. :P
meh, it's funny enough for me
2:05 AM
Are comments automatically deleted after some number of flags?
@JasonC yes
there are some keywords that makes them removed in a single flag
@JasonC yea, think it's like 3 flags for 0 score comments, then add 1 more flag needed for each upvote score comment after that
no bother checking the correct rules since it happens so infrequently
Yeah, the keywords I know about. I didn't know about the 3-ish flag thing. That's cool.
@JasonC Define broke formatting. I feel that all those backticks suck.
2:09 AM
@tchrist If you would normally edit them out upon happening across that post, then edit them out. Otherwise, don't.
@bjb568 youtube google really needs to pay drivethrough window employees for all the harassment they've caused
@Roombatron5000 Because people who cause other people to harass should be payed?
Check your grammarz.
Jason's comment is so constructive that I can't even.
> I even got a brand new surge protector to prevent anything bad from the wall reaching my PC, and I also moved my build to the other side of the room so I'm on a different power rail. But still, card 3 shit the bed.
Is this… an idiom?
2:12 AM
Yeah
"shit the bed" = asploded
Huh, never heard it before. Is it local to a geographic area?
@JasonC assploded?
I dunno, I've heard it a lot before though (Northeast US)
we know you're in NY
I grew up in PA, so I picked a bigger area.
It might not be so much geographic as not used so much any more.
shit hit the fan?
i think thats more common
2:17 AM
It's kind of similar. Different usage, I guess. Shit hitting the fan is an event, and shitting the bed is something you can do.
Although I guess you could... hit the fan with shit. Or something.
oh so that's like shit for brains
Shit for brains is something you can be.
Like, what's up, shit-for-brains?
someone summoned me?

Although I guess it's something you can have but I've never heard anybody say "Excuse me, sir, but I couldn't help but notice that you have shit for brains."

@bjb568 What year were you born?
meh, can't say
somewhere between 2002 BC and 2002 CE
@bjb568 what is your favorite color?
@bjb568 I thought so: There is a strong correlation between your birth and poop.
2:27 AM
@Roombatron5000 hm… ~650Thz, pure
@bjb568 ... BCE, ya mean? Be consistent!
did you just express a color as a frequency of the wave?
@hichris123 whatever
@James yes
@bjb568 Either use BC & AD, or BCE & CE. Mixing defeats the whole purpose. :P
@bjb568 Wavelength is more traditional.
2:29 AM
@hichris123 I don't have purpose.
Screw tradition.

Oh you're such a rebel.

@AlexisKing We need a revolution of the proletariat or something. We can't let ourselves be dominated by the 1%!
2:31 AM
Lol you've exceeded my expectations of stupid.
MMMM domination
@James Yesh.
@JasonC Yes! I WIN
I almost wanted to argue with you about it.
2:33 AM
Lol Doorknob couldn't resist.
@James hahahaha the HTML source code for that one is awesome.
so many <br/>
@JasonC I'm pretty pleased since that really can't possibly be seriously taken out of context, but you don't really need to leave it on the pinned stars board. ;P
2:36 AM

well, productive-ish
@JasonC hrm, makes sense, yep, yep, nods and smiles
@James That told me to build something with Fortran and AS3.
NEVER. AGAIN.
2:40 AM
@Doorknob Before you say that, I think we're going to need a functioning definition of "productive" for the Tavern.
@AstroCB cats (with the notable exception of bjb)
"LIGHTWEIGHT FACEBOOK APPLICATION FOR CONVERTING PASCAL ROBOTS TO AGGREGATORS"
@JasonC HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's totally reasonable except "lightweight facebook"
that part crosses the line
This is so awesome.
What utterly crappy questions that guy edited! You usually have to roll back his ransom notes AND then edit them into English AND then close vote them.

Wow, you're like a moderator now!

@rene Thanks.

5:20 AM
> Do no select solely for intelligence. There are those infuriating individuals out there who are both intelligent and physically above average...go for both
agreed
user259867
People do web-scraping in R, there are libraries for that.
@Roombatron5000 This is a stupid question because a "genius" always has to be relative to some other population, and it's incredibly unlikely that somehow you'd be able to develop an isolated population of smarter people for lots of different reasons.
@AlexisKing we know what he means though - relative to before the society of geniuses
@Roombatron5000 Here's the problem: we already have.
Our society is already a society of geniuses in comparison to just a couple hundred years ago.
So... just keep on doing what we're doing, I guess?
@AlexisKing what? i thought we've been getting stupider.. as a whole for quite a long time, hmm

The Flynn effect is the substantial and long-sustained increase in both fluid and crystallized intelligence test scores measured in many parts of the world from roughly 1930 to the present day. When intelligence quotient (IQ) tests are initially standardized using a sample of test-takers, by convention the average of the test results is set to 100 and their standard deviation is set to 15 or 16 IQ points. When IQ tests are revised, they are again standardized using a new sample of test-takers, usually born more recently than the first. Again, the average result is set to 100. However, when the...

It's true. Nobody really knows.
But it's also very hard to quantify.
And it's hard to separate intelligence from knowledge.

In reality it relies on users flagging the posts as spam - six will delete the post and often a moderator / SE team member comes along later (or at the same time) and deletes the user
so even if we say "tpu" it does nothing to the actual post?
and it's just a coincidence that the posts usually disappear right after someone says "tpu"?

Just joking. In case when Taverners/mods are very active, attempting to tpu a post first might be slower than opening & flagging the post, hence when you open the post, it's already gone.
