@SmokeDetector notspam - it's "misleading" because the link is rewritten as SE affiliate Amazon link.

Reminds me of emailing a department chair last week. His email was stated correctly, but the mailto: link had the email of their previous chair. Some secretaries aren't very good at editing HTML.

Q: Why relevance points are added to the querystring of search results?

Shadow WizardI just noticed that search results now contain a new querystring parameter named "s" with value in the format of s=[a]|[B] where "a" is the search result index and "b" the relevance points, i.e. how relevant is the result to the search term. For example, this search returns this as the first res...

 
user315433
Hm, all of mine have 0.0000 relevance, presumably because I'm sorting by creation time, not relevance.
 
user315433
IOW, because I'm using search in lieu of navigation

Is A way for “new users” to ask about their post specifically still disabled on MSO? What are the experiences so far on the other sites?
 
user315433
I thought users can post on Meta if they have either 5+ points or 1+ posts on main (including deleted)
 
user315433
But I may be mistaken...
 
5 rep is mandatory IIRC
I tried to SEDE some of those posts but I couldn't find one

No, meta.MO has 1 rep level to post on Meta.
 
user315433
Was set at the time of migration to SE 2.0, so that those who lost accounts could post on meta to get help reclaiming them.
 
user315433
That was a while ago (summer 2013), but the setting remains...
 
ah
 
user315433
So if this is one you found, then I guess the feature isn't used much...
 
user315433
I'll try to test with a sockpuppet
 
user315433
Some of those are suspended.
 
user315433
And some may have lost their rep after posting on meta.
 
funny enough not all seem to be about their own post but the general complaints we normally get on meta
 
user315433
And some are migrated from main site.
 
@zaq yeah, I hoped they used the boilerplate text as shown in the proposal but it looks like they didn't.
 
7:52 PM
@zaq timeouts, it's always timeouts.
Emails also not being sent. (with unread inbox items)
 
Probably they finally brought their SQL Server to its knees.
@zaq yup. Those are after all the relevance points, so not relevant for other filters.
 
@ShadowWizard they are field testing the next SqlServer release
 
@rene true
 
ah, thanks
 
8:02 PM
@zaq wrong. Only MSE.
MSO never had it set to 1, it would cause huuuuge flood of crap there.
 
user315433
@ShadowWizard Wrong about MSO. But rene's query suggests it's on at SU. All those templated meta posts "I have a question about my post:..."
 
@zaq oh, that's a different matter, yeah.
(and quite a new feature)
@rene heh, not so sure about it.... maybe Nick is away somewhere so nobody knows how to fix it.... D:
 
user315433
> This query has been on my list for a while but we've been queued up on work. I just pushed a fix for the job (a new filtered index) and emails should resume sending on the next pass (within 24 hours). -- meta.stackexchange.com/a/287714
 
user315433
Nick has a list of broken stuff to fix.
 
user315433
And apparently spent Saturday night fixing it.
 
8:08 PM
Huh, missed that. Still, wonder what SE will do when Nick won't be around.
 
user315433
Will have to migrate to cloud.
 
lol
Or hire 10 new programmers to fill his place...
9 will try to figure how he made things work, one will write teh codez.
 
user315433
Interestingly, they have an extraneous line break at the beginning. A bug.
 
user315433
(For some definition of "interesting")

There is a stray <p> </p> at the beginning.
 
user315433
A byproduct of having stern pre-filled HTML comments: meta.math.stackexchange.com/revisions/…
 
@zaq yeah, but I use that bug in my favor
Oh I might take the raw source from posthistory
 
user315433
Suggestion for columns to add to the output: Score and CreationDate.
 
8:32 PM
@zaq done
 
user315433
Most are positively scored. Of course we don't see the deleted ones.
 
yeah, true

Yay, in my Linear Algebra final, we have to do some proofs and I'm totally hammering them into the ground.
They're not that hard, but the engineering students are going to fail on some of the questions.

proving what?
 
user315433
Stuff like: Intersection of two linear subspaces is a linear subspace.
 
neat
