Wait, so, websocket client error events really give no way to get details about the error?
I guess I see the rationale... w3.org/TR/websockets/#concept-websocket-close-fail... but that's irritating.
Especially because the error details actually do appear in the dev console, like "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED", which kind of hilariously defeats the purpose of W3's choice there.
 
user315433
@Dr.YSG This is not strange at all. The error message in the developer tools is meant for the user of the browser so it can contain sensitive information. OTOH some random JavaScript code is generally not trusted. Otherwise you could write a worm (like a port scanner or a DDoS script) and just spread it via some random ad network. — jpc Jan 12 '15 at 14:03

Or does it, I guess it really just doesn't want the info to go to scripts.
Oh yeah like that.
Well whatever this seems super easy and convenient so far, I can take missing error info.

Not quite sure if this is the right place to ask, but searching for "@editor" on meta ignores the "@"
However, does using "@editor" in a comment notify a suggested editor please?

@Bart Ha, I try to be helpful, right? Doesn't hurt anybody to bring in some Dutch bluntness ...
@JamesWebster no, it doesn't. You can ping the user which edit was approved and/or the dupe hammer close voter. Those don't auto-complete though, so you have to type the username yourself.

Thanks @rene. This was just for an invalid suggested edit on one of my posts, I wanted to provide a comment with my rejection, but in the end, I settled for just the "other" box
Thanks for the link. I did check on meta, but the search box just ignored my "@"

rene

6:31 PM
So you can blame Bootstrap?
 
Jason C
Jason C
@rene Hey, you use git a lot, yeah? Is doing development on the master branch then occasionally merging it into a release branch a reasonable strategy?
Well, because I have no idea what I'm doing, and Bootstrap buttons look nice.
 
rene
rene
@JasonC Yeah, that would mimic SVN un-stable trunk
with a small team that should work
 
Jason C
Jason C
Ok, and then, if I have a production system, that's always on release, as long as the local repo is on release, I should be able to just git pull origin release to update it with no other git weirdness?
It took me a while to figure out how to merge master into release on the command line, but the "network" graph on gitlab didn't turn out looking how I expected it to look, although it seems to work.
Yeah it's a super small team.
 
rene
rene
@JasonC yeah, that should be the expected thing to happen.
 
Jason C
Jason C
Cool thanks.
I really need to rethink my workflow here, I'm trying to come up with this software auto-update system, for these Pi-based devices with no real UI, that involves the least amount of work on my part and it's a nightmare. It works great on the user side. But on the dev side it's gonna get awful real fast.
I think I got myself into a bit of a haste-makes-waste situation.
 
rene
rene
6:47 PM
@JasonC do those Pi's do git pulls as well?
 
Jason C
Jason C
6:58 PM
@rene No.
I've got an update server, it does git pulls from release.
When it pulls an update it runs a little build/sanitize script to remove source that shouldn't go to the Pis, .git dirs, etc. Packs it up into an archive, then serves it on request.
 
rene
rene
OK.
 
Jason C
Jason C
It also sticks a file containing the git hash of that release in the archive. The Pi's read that file to know what version of the SW they have. They use that in their update server queries so the server knows if a new update needs to be served or not.
That's about it.
But for some reason it's getting sticky on my end. I think it's because I just am not so great with git.
The other thing that's making it confusing is I've got all the code for this project in the git repo, including a bunch of stuff that doesn't affect the Pis (although they are the only thing that needs auto-updates).
So the "release" branch is actually more of a "new sw for pi" branch.
Because other stuff like the production server, if I put it in the release branch every time I update it, it triggers all the devices in the field to receive unnecessary updates, because it changes the release hash even though the pi sw itself didn't change. So it's messy.
I either need to separate the Pi stuff into its own repo, or more clearly define what my branches are for. There is no good "production update server release" branch, for example.
 
rene
rene
Maybe move the Pi stuff to their own repo?
 
Jason C
Jason C
Yeah that's kind of what I'm starting to think.
I'm also questioning if git is the most appropriate "back-end" for version management and deployment here. I feel like it's great for the job and saving me work. E.g. the hashes are great, I don't have to version the sw explicitly. But I wonder if it's making things more difficult.
And maybe instead of the update server updating from git it should just be manual deployment of Pi builds to the update server by the devs.
 
rene
rene
you can have two remotes on your local repo
 
Jason C
Jason C
7:07 PM
OR I could use explicit version numbers instead of commit hashes. But some of my devs are really lazy, with one-time short term jobs on the project, I don't trust anybody to do things properly.
I don't quite understand that concept but don't explain it, one thing on my todo list today is to sit down and go through a full git primer. I've been winging it but I'm hitting knowledge barriers now.
 
rene
rene
yeah, I wouldn't rely on manual process if you run the risk of updating field deployments
 
Jason C
Jason C
That's also the reason why I don't want to use master for releases. Some of the people on this project just won't be able to get their head around working in a git branch.

You know I think the other problem is that I've done too much work in too short of a time period, and a lot of it is first-time-for-me stuff, and it's confusing even in my head. I think the system might not actually be so bad. But I really need to take a step back, document everything properly, and then re-assess. I'm in too deep right now.

Ok, so I figured out that my class rank (which is on my transcript but which I can't easily see) is bad. What's important is that I'm not in the top 10% of my class, which basically disqualifies me from getting admitted anywhere respectable. The reason for this is
1) I will only have had 3 years of high school (2 that are shown and put in the class rank) and my freshman year grades were bad (explained by an essay).
2) Class rank was probably calculated before I sent my high school the college transcript, so dual enrollment classes aren't weighted.
This is probably a huge factor in getting rejected from MIT. 98% of accepts are in the top 10%.
So should I send them an email describing circumstances and ask for advice on applying to other schools which would have the same problem?
 
user315433
They are admissions, not admission counselors... I'd ask at your school.
 
bjb568
bjb568
Ha, my school won't do anything.
The admission people are pretty nice. Some of them call themselves admission counselors.
I think there's also a different email to contact students who are sorta in charge of some part of the process.
 
user315433
Anyway, if your class rank is bad, and is important for admissions (which it is), the way to go would be to improve the rank.
 
bjb568
bjb568
Well, duh. But class rank is calculated not including this year.
I'm probably just dead'd.
 
user315433

It's weird the school won't just tell you what your class rank is, given that they report it to universities about you.

Q: Meta sites' front pages should not hide questions with very low scores

kennytmOn Meta SO, downvoting merely means "disagree." This convention carried over to per-site metas. But questions with very low scores — e.g. this question on Meta Math SE with net score of -5 — are automatically hidden from the front page. The fact that a valid discussion seems to be deleted causes ...

feature-request status-completed voting stackexchange frontpage
 
E.P.
E.P.
@zaq yeah, and I agree with Steven Jeuris's answer
the accepted-answer-status-completed status is bogus on that one, the original request was watered way down
 
user315433
10:28 PM
I think the current system is fine, there is an infinite supply of stupid ideas that hiding pushes out of the way.
 
user315433
A mod can make a post featured regardless of the score, which brings way more visibility.
 
user315433
(If the discussion is really that important)
 
Shog9
Shog9
I can't find it. Anyway, the gist was that at some point you're just pillorying a question by keeping it visible, and that doesn't help anyone.
 
E.P.
E.P.
@Shog9 it's certainly pillorying if you make it featured
 
Shog9
Shog9
so, who did that?
 
E.P.
E.P.
10:30 PM
(as in zaq's suggestion)
but hiding it smells of censorship as much as keeping it looks like pillorying
 
Shog9
Shog9
right. So funny story, I'm pretty sure that didn't work for a long long time, until we had some company announcement that got massively downvoted while featured.
 
E.P.
E.P.
it's a case by case thing at best
 
Shog9
Shog9
so, you want stuff not-censored, don't downvote it
 
E.P.
E.P.
@Shog9 since when does "downvote" on meta mean "censor"?
 
Shog9
Shog9
answer, "Hey, buddy, I think this is a terrible terrible idea but I want everyone on the site to see it so I'm gonna upvote it instead. But just so we're clear, this post is worse than Hitler"
 
user315433
10:31 PM
@E.P. Hiding it automatically is not censorship. But you want a mod to personally decide which of -8 posts are shown and which are not... Step 2: accusations that mods decide on this unfairly.
 
E.P.
E.P.
it means "I disagree", not "I disagree, and I think you should shut up and no one should ever be able to listen to you"
 
Shog9
Shog9
The flip side of that is... There's only n slots on the home page.
 
E.P.
E.P.
@Shog9 yeah, but this is on a pretty slow meta site
 
user315433
The few who want to see heavily downvoted posts know how to find them.
 
Shog9
Shog9
If you consider not showing something there to be censorship, then we're censoring the vast majority of questions on most metas.
 
E.P.
E.P.
10:33 PM
it's not the main front page, that'd be silly
 
Shog9
Shog9
So, we censor. Ideally, we censor the stuff that everyone hates and will never be implemented
But, I guess we could hide the good ideas randomly instead
 
E.P.
E.P.
@Shog9 No. This question just had an answer, but you couldn't tell it from watching the meta front page
 
Shog9
Shog9
so?
 
E.P.
E.P.
@Shog9 so, the answer is an important part of the conversation we need to have
it's not a pleasant conversation
but it's good for the site
and it doesn't help anyone if it just drops out of everyone's radar
 
Shog9
Shog9
Then upvote it
 
user315433
10:35 PM
Won't help, I just downvoted the question further.
 
E.P.
E.P.
@Shog9 I am happy to upvote the answer
 
Shog9
Shog9
but not the question
why not?
you think it's an important conversation
but you won't upvote it?
 
E.P.
E.P.
@Shog9 because I disagree with everything in the question
 
user315433
This discussion may be important, but I don't want it to be framed by that question by that user.
 
Shog9
Shog9
yeah...
 
user315433
10:36 PM
So, -1 to the question, and I hope you'll have that discussion elsewhere.

What's funny is that he's doing so by doggedly supporting the same ideas that some of his most active enemies supported in the past: SO as a social network / MMORPG, down-votes as unacceptably negative, etc.

I don't really care. I'm going to down-vote and argue against the same lousy ideas regardless of who proposes them. If anything, his attitude makes this easier...
sometimes, the worst thing you can do for an idea is to let the folks who agree with it support it.

@Shog9 for clarity, I'm talking about this thread.

A: Can we talk about the voting culture here on Meta?

Shog9So I've been kinda chewing on this since your email, because... It's one of those simple questions that defies a simple answer. You're not the only person to raise this concern, of course: several respected users, moderators and even co-workers have expressed dismay upon seeing reasonable questio...

@E.P. ...why am I not surprised...

@Shog9 indeed.

@E.P. You think there is an important issue to discuss calmly, so put up a post that is conducive to that. Preferably not this week or next week, there is no rush.

@zaq Frankly, the discussion this time has been as calm and reasoned as I could reasonably hope for

@E.P. then bookmark it so you can close other questions as duplicates of it when they're less calm and reasoned.

@Shog9 That I can do, but it doesn't help the problem that it's still hidden from view when I think it shouldn't.
Anyways, arguing here won't do much for anyone.
I just wanted to know if the software mechanism exists or not.

@E.P. on the one hand, I kinda get your point
on the other, Physics has enough drama, as do most sites.
Folks who want to get in on it can find it
but I've gotten some really tired emails from folks in the past who just wanted to talk about physics, and were tired of having to argue about Physics instead

@Shog9 and I'm really tired of having the same old discussion in comments and in chat about how some answers are really wrong, and of having those discussions degenerate to shouting matches.

Just downvote and move on

@Shog9 I don't think ignoring this problem solves it.

yeah, you and Shog9 are wrong in this instance. I'm going to stop arguing now.

Is this still a thing?

Is there an auto-nuking regex for lmgtfy?
 
user315433
Time for BigQuery, I guess
 
user315433
Heh, a lmgtfy comment on an answer that is itself a link to Google, to a question that is OT/rec.

But no autonuke. :(
 
user315433
BigQuery doesn't have magically linkifying columns...
 
user315433
Anyway, there are only 49 comments with lmgtfy.com in them, so I don't know what they guy was talking about. Unless it was another SE site, because the ban isn't network wide for some reason (??)
