Tavern on the Meta

Although the trendline did go from an upwards slope to a more flat slope.

@Meta :P

The change in reviews/day does show up in the reviews today data though:

stackoverflow.com/questions/36342350/…: Something tells me this doesn't quite meet our MCVE requirement.

A sketchy question

I'm not going to hammer it

The MCVE thing is specifically for debugging questions

You... can't really debug something with no bugs

user315433

> You may have been told to include a MCVE by some helpful commentatory, or perhaps even an MVCE if they were rushed; sorry for the initialisms, this is what they were referring to.

user315433

Could that font be any smaller?

whoa, I never noticed that before

Apparently I can edit that page. Sorely tempted to.

Is "commentatory" a word? If so, does it fit in that sentence?

I... don't think so

user315433

OED says it's an adjective.
commentatory, adj. Of the nature of commentation.
1868 C. E. Appleton Life & Lit. Relics (1881) 331 So far as it was not merely commentatory on the past.

It's no adjective I've ever seen

user315433

Anyway, the sentence requires a noun, it's a person who comments.

user315433

@Undo I think if you chop off the final y of that word, that will match the writer's intent.

12:24 AM

@Meta The text is there only so that searching for MCVE or MVCE works.

user315433

@bjb568 Makes sense. Found the meta post, help center: search for 'mcve' does not return the mcve help page

user315433

The first version of that article did have MCVE in it.

@bjb568 If you can find me an SQL query to do that, sure.

@hichris123 Just subtract current value from past value.

Maybe average it a little if you want it to be fancy.

That's... harder than it seems. :/

Couldn't you just import the data into R or something?

in Charcoal HQ on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, Apr 9 at 2:03, by hichris123

SELECT *
FROM reviewstats
GROUP BY TIMESTAMP(DATE(Time), EXTRACT(HOUR FROM Time)), QueueId

@bjb568 I suppose... but then I'd have to learn how to use R. :P

Bah.

Learn R!

user315433

@hichris123 You could ask on some programming site, if you can find one.

@bjb568 He knows Python and Python should be able to do it fine

Go forth @hichris!

Q: Query to get change in value day-over-day?

I have some historical data in a MySQL database, and I'm making graphs of it. Currently, my graphs look like this: I'd like, however, to get the change in the value over time - i.e. show the change since the last measurement. Something like this (obviously the data isn't correct): How can I...

But it didn't help too much. :P

So much for no experience required...

lol

user315433

They meant no prior job experience. About the only reasonable interpretation anyway.

Even that interpretation is a bit of a stretch...

user315433

Why? It can be expected that an aspiring programmer knows a language and used it to make something.

That's true. But usually when people say knowledge they mean expertise... though it does say familiarity, not expertise.

Much as it's probably true in some cases, "Requirements: - Can fog a mirror" would actually be more shocking.

I've actually never heard of that idiom before now.

Is the regular expression responsible for URL -> question title conversion documented?

user315433

As far as I can tell, it does not support: (a) https links; (b) {site}/a/{id} short links.

user315433

Maybe I should add an answer to What limitations does converting question links to links with titles have? which seems incomplete.

user315433

My URL->title conversion in chat doesn't have those problems. :)

user315433

I haven't found a FR to enable conversion for https links...

user315433

3:17 AM

Oh, it's supposed to be fixed: https links to same site don't auto-prettify. Can anyone check that it's not just me imagining things?

"some moderators may hesitate to take such drastic action" You're falsely introducing a metric of nonconformity. What matters is not whether an action is drastic or mild but whether it makes sense. Not deleting a link only answer that is flagged as a link only answer when it is known and accepted that link only answers are bad and should be deleted doesn't make sense. — bjb568 47 secs ago

If I parse this correctly, it means CoGro no longer debates the merits of proposals like they did with Emacs/Vim etc, it's mostly Robert now. Makes sense, I guess: there is more to do on existing sites and less to do on Area 51.
