@AaronHall You should always blame people who tweak the firewall for outgoing traffic. It is a waste of their and your time

user315433

Chrome 4 and FireFox 3.6 would be flattered to know they are still reasonably modern.

@rene IDK, sounds like a good way to get fired. I should just get data on my personal laptop and forget about it.

user315433

But I guess this is uBlock Origin's doing.

rene

@AaronHall sure, don't complain on your own. Just make sure all high-qualified employees go on strike...

Aaron Hall

@rene like this? askamanager.org/2016/06/…

yeah, why not ;)

Aaron Hall

I can probably get away with a few gentle inquiries, and I probably will try it now that I feel a little stronger grasp of the situation.

user315433

Stupid things I do: 1) post a self-answered question; 2) accept the answer; 3) discover 1.5 years later than the answer is outdated but I can't unaccept it because the account is deleted. Gah.

user315433

But self-accept doesn't pin, so at least I got that...

Aaron Hall

fix the answer.

user315433

That would be deleting all of its content.

user315433

I doubt the reviewers would approve.

rene

Gain 2K on webapps so you can do the edit?

Aaron Hall

forget about it.

You already posted a new answer

user315433

Yeah, when I realized the self-accept doesn't pin, that basically solved the problem. Downvoted outdated answer, and now it's at the bottom.

Literature is in beta

Why does it say "warning" for a β? Are they really that skary?

Stijn

Not that private beta means anything.. everyone can sign up anyway

bjb568

Everything is lies.

A depressing QA: How do you clone an Array of Objects in Javascript

user315433

Explicitly about an array of objects. Hundreds of upvotes for .slice(0) answers.

Shog9

even the ones that avoid that miss the "with references to each other" bits

This is a rather good example of why blindly unpinning the accepted answer when it's outranked isn't a universal good.

user315433

But the accepted answer is horrible, there is nothing to copy-paste!

Aaron Hall

8:23 PM

Make unpinning (and repinning) the next privilege at the top!

@xkcdBot Is "vocal chords" in hovertext a typo or a pun I'm not getting?

I tried to prove a hard number theory problem. I thought I got it, then realized what i wrote didn't work at the end. Then I found a counterexample. Then I realized I read the question wrong.

user315433

@bjb568 More details plz, or do they not fit in this narrow text box?

@zaq Don't fit in the margins.
