Well... that seems to be a counter-example to the theory that prior experience with SE makes for better users.

Of course, N=1 here, so there's no reason to dismiss the theory yet.

Q: I need to know this! 😱

I was trying to make a simple exploit for a game and it also relys on a batch file. The batch file needs to verify that the game process is running. How can I do this? (Without any add-ons)

@NormalHuman tpu-

user259867

Vague question detected. :) But seriously, I don't suppose so. New users want a specific thing: an answer to their question. Their question is what they want to know about, not the SE network.

S.L. Barth

@NormalHuman Fair enough, and it would be an answer to the question.

user259867

6:07 PM

But not going to be, because no Meta account.

S.L. Barth

Oh yes, forgot about that. Sorry.

My question was inspired by another thing Shog said:
> IIRC, we have a little bit of data that indicates folks who create accounts before they need them end up doing better when they do need them. So there's that.

> More striking are the outliers who edit, vote (with the help of an association bonus for being active on another site) or visit the site many consecutive days before posting. These folks do far better with their first posts and (with the exception of Enthusiasts) have much more productive careers.

The fact that people who already have an association bonus do better on a new site... well, that is hardly surprising.

It turned out that in the XML for my CardboardView there was the following attribute: android:layout_marginTop="172dp" It was probably put there by Android Studio for some reason, as I did not modify the CardboardView from the "Design" interface (in fact, Android Studio wouldn't let me). Remo...
