Hey all, I am recieving the new "Edit suggestions" moderator feature when I'm not a moderator. I have over 10k.
I can access this page: http://stackoverflow.com/edit-suggestions/{someNumber}, but I cannot approve or reject it. I can also see the numbers (when there is one) or an empty spot in th...
@balpha Hrump, well that wasn't fun at all, but at least it works - the userstyle now let's the entire parent element of the close vote anchors to be the hitarea for the link
@YiJiang Wait, since when are the close counts not public? Last I checked the close link shows the vote count in parenthesis (if you have close rights), and if actually closed the list of voters is shown in the question...
@Nyuszika7H One byte is only 256 bits, so you can't represent more than 256 different characters in a 1-byte-per-character encoding. There are many encodings that use many different (and variable) number of bytes per character.
... wait a sec, I can see the results for a successful close vote as an anonymous user. Surely that's public? Eg, try opening stackoverflow.com/questions/4905926/… while logged out
@Nyuszika7H UTF-8 uses between 1 and 4 bytes per character, depending on the character (earlier code points, like the ASCII characters, use only 1 byte, while those with higher code points use more)
What is the recommended method/syntax for denoting keyboard shortcuts in SO answers?
For example, to write the following in a less verbose manner: "Press ctrl, and press either the minus key, or the equals key), or "Ctrl or Cmd, and lower-case c", or "Ctrl, alt and a, then ctrl and upper case L"...
@balpha It's possible to mess up the text of the button that toggles between the two lists by closing the list while it's in the state which is not displayed when the list is minimized
yeah true ... what he meant is its not stable enough or something, i had this convo about 6 months back
I work with google engineers on some stuff, they are known to release great stuff but prematurely , and then iteratively fix it ( but that doesnt happen )
So if I can't get it, I can't redirect them to their homepage, right?
Other thing: Click to play was removed from Chrome, users who had this option selected got the Block all option. This way, plugins were hidden with clicking… we needed right-click -> Run this plugin. Now it's back. :)
> Looking at it now, this answer doesn't seem to be 100% correct. about:home does not seem to work in IE 8, and window.home() only works in Firefox (not Safari or Chrome). – idealmachineDec 3 '10 at 2:48
@badp That's why there's an encrypted file system inside the hidden partition. They get only the first password from me, which shows them the partition, and they think they have it all. It's just MILF porn. The real porn is in the hidden file system behind a second password they don't even know to ask for.

> You may have used other libraries in the past such as jQuery, so why would you move over to Spark? Well, Sparks aim is to be extremely lightweight and well optimised, so none of those functions that are easily accomplished with pure JavaScript will be created, because there is no point.
Hmm, jQuery 1.2.1 (minified) is ~45 kB, while jQuery 1.5 (minified) is ~80 kB. Spark 1.4.6 (minified) is ~25 kB. Actually, it can't do more than jQuery… it does less than jQuery.
? MAKE "num RANDOM 1
? IF [:num = 1] [print "Number is one.] [print "Number is zero.]
[:num = 1] is neither FALSE nor TRUE!
Why won't this work? I'm using Imagine LOGO.
I just read a wonderful article about headaches web developers have to live with nowadays. Several questions from that article busied me for some time as well. Now I am wondering whether I missed something, whether there are approaches other than Sproutcore or Cappucino to combine the eternal det...
Im gonna use some kind of accordion javascript (you click a button and some content appears), Id like to know from an UI/ergonomic standpoint what's the best orientation of the expanded state?
the button moves down as the content
becomes visible (UP)
the content beside the button (DOWN)

@chris ok then could you - (if you are a mod) 23.5k rep - close this question (only if my accept rate goes up) else ill wait till UI becomes a full fledged site
dunno why the question was posted as the first chat message (not the last)
@Knu ui.stackexchange.com is still a beta site. While I do have the ability to migrate questions there, I can't do so without a really compelling reason.
:sigh: Did I mention recently that I hate customers?
> I make a buy from your site and still wait to start my campaign!! Now I don't want!! Send me mu money back or I report you to the police!! stupid assholes!!! send me my money back!
He ordered advertising on January 31st. The advertising started on February 1st. He quoted the e-mail with his login information to view the status at any time. Moron.
@ChrisF I dream of being Google some day. Your customers need you so much that you can provide zero customer support whatsoever and still take their money, and they'll thank you for it.
as the one asking how can I possibly be able to tell objectively if he's right - I mean you can't be satisfied and Iv seen a lot of answer being accepted and then someone reply months later with the real solution
@Knu There's nothing to stop you changing which answer is accepted. There's no lock in of that vote. You can even unaccept and answer and not accept a new one.
All acceptance should mean is that "this answer helped me the most". If new information comes up there's nothing stopping some one posting that even years later
While trying to fix the hover bug in internet explorer I realised that the doctype was written wrong. I corrected it but now the formatting is wrong! This is what it should look like:

and this is what it does look like:

I asked a question sometime back, and then I saw someone answered it. But, when I try to open the page, all it says is 1 answer and there is nothing else there. There is no content, no-nothing!
Here it is: Improving first person camera and implementing third person camera
Out of curiosity, I ch...
I recently (18 hours ago) submitted one of StackOverflow's interesting questions to Hacker News and reddit, where it was featured on the front page all day. I used the personalized link the site gave me using the "Link" link.
That resulted in somewhere around 30,000 views of the question in less...
I'm actually a bit surprised that someone didn't try and close that as a duplicate of the last time someone asked about the award timeframes for those badges... (Not that it actually is a duplicate, you have a specific scenario that you're asking about).
I made a couple of changes that may help alleviate this problem.
We suppress the queue notification if there are less than 5 pending items in the queue
20k users can approve all tag wiki changes
I agree it makes sense hiding the items, however it is a reasonably expensive calculation that I ...
To English.SE! I think "fewer" is technically more correct, but honest I'm never quite sure either. I definitely don't feel that it was edit worthy, but. :P
I've just received a memo which says (effectively)
As more people leave, there will be less people available.
I want that word to be fewer. Are there guidelines for which word ought to be used when?
My printer looks almost exactly the same, but it's not. HP has a lot of models, some of them identical but with different numbers by what store sells them.
it's not worth fussing over stuff like that anymore, all the printers are basically the same, and you'll spend almost as much just buying the first set of non-starter print cartridges for them
if you don't like it, pick a different one when you run out of ink
