@Doorknob冰 Yes except a mod is why my question was closed(it had a bounty) they are essentially identical questions except they closed my and left the other one open.
Diamond Moderators and others(my bounty was given back). I believe both this question and this one should be closed not just one.
I want a justification and a technique to better help users.
I am tired of finding nearly identical questions(which people use as justifications to ask new question...
In my server side console getBookDetails is being called before id=1 could even be passed through '/api/book/1'. Why is this happening? Why isn't it synchronous? Should I learn async for this?
Here's my routes.js
app.route('/api/book/:id')
.get(function(req,res){
var id=req.params.id;
bookapi.getBookDetails(id,res);
});
and here's the function it calls
scope.getBookDetails=function(bookId,res){
console.log('unnecessary thing@@');

@rnrneverdies My theory is 5 downvotes and a positive score. If it was +5/-5, then the user who asked this question would have received it. — Josh Crozier7 hours ago
Although note they might not take too kindly to that, CV requests are really only for when something needs to be closed now and the normal process isn't fast enough.
i think according to previous policies, it'd be like 150k, but policies were updated to remove many questions faster from Close queue, so now it only 6-7k
When you think of Q&A sites, you think of a place where you come to get answers to your questions. But, where do those answers come from? What doesn't immediately stand out for many folks is that it's not our software that's giving them answers, it's other people that are taking the time to share...
Sure it'd stop the most impatient spammers, but all they really need is an account and then they can sleep for a few days before using the credentials. So, it'd be a temporary dip
A fair number of posts get deleted on Stack Overflow each month, for a wide variety of reasons and by a diverse set of methods.
Because these posts are, by definition, not visible and not searchable, there tends to be a lot of misinformation about how much gets deleted and who deletes it.
So,...
This is how I imagine most new users experience SO. They hear about this magical place from their coworker/classmate/teacher/bondage-slave who we will call Brick-headed Bill. Brick-headed Bill hasn't actually used SO before, but he's pretty sure that if you've got any kind of programming problem they can help you solve it. So new person who we shall call Pudding-headed Phil, comes to SO and makes an account and then posts a vague description of their problem on SO.
@Undo Isn't that just a plotting artifact? Seems like the first graph is missing the leftmost datapoint (possibly because it's zero and so doesn't show up in the SQL results)?
He doesn't bother to actually read any of the helptext on the How-to-ask page, because reading text just seems like too much hard work (Which is what he's here to avoid, remember). The question immediately gets DV'd/CV'd to oblivion.
At this point Pudding-headed Phil has 3 options. He can give up and try to actually figure out the problem, he can edit the question to insult the people who obviously don't understand his brilliance or he can actually read the help section and maybe understand why he got smacked for his lack of knowledge.
@IlmariKaronen Hah, that was because of a migrated question, where the question was 'created' fifteen minutes before the account was created (stackoverflow.com/questions/34208610/…)
The majority of new users choose option 1. Some choose option 2 (to our great amusement). The minority (who will also eventually find Meta, and other SO sites) actually fix their question and usually get an answer
But it's the I can't be bothered understanding this attitude that causes the flood of crap from new accounts. Because most of the first world thinks that programming can't be that hard
@Undo If you find an appropriate Meta-post where that would fit. I'll gladly post and expand on it
@JasonC It's closed first questions as a function of account age when asked, with a logarithmic x-axis.
Also, I have absolutely no idea what the heck is going on with the total first question counts (blue graph) around 1e5 seconds. :o
Hmm, OK, 1e5 seconds is about one day... makes sense that the account age at first question would have peaks around multiples of 24 hours, because most people tend to have a sort of regular sleep schedule.
Incidentally, that massive peak is centered at about 15 minutes. Looks like that's how long it takes most people to ask their first question after registering.
