@sho I just want to know, were your more 1337 trollings your own creation, or were they influenced by others? (estimate your own strength, judge your opponents for the win)

user315433

Meta SE has low traffic and proportionally lower chat activity.

user315433

Mostly a place for mods of legacy sites to be unhappy about SO getting preferential treatment. :)

@qwer "should be"... ;) Alas, I don't see much dogpiling of closable posts here. :( (SmokeDetector excepted)

@zaq legacy sites?

user315433

They are usually on the front page of the site, no need for posting them in chat. More eyes on the front page than in any chatroom, anyway.

ɥʇǝS

@AwesomePoodles meh, MSE is small enough the review queue should be fine.

user315433

@loltospoon I always find that angle a little amusing: the idea of folks at SO gleefully rubbing their hands together while mods sweat it out at their computers, whacking spammers and sweeping up dirt (not that you're picturing that, but some do). On the one hand, yes, even activity on Physics indirectly helps make SO a bit of money. On the other hand, anyone can use the network entirely for free. No payment necessary. And I think that gets overlooked an unfortunately large fraction of the time.

@Telkitty Yeah. I get really annoyed talking about JSON out loud, because the people I'm talking to always make the same joke or hide the same giggle. So I just use XML everywhere instead.

user202362

Also I get contacted by my 1337 tr011s wannabes all the times - they want to challenge my 1337 status. Be glad when I actually reply because more than not, I will just ignore those contacts especially when I don't know you ...

Shadow Wizard

@JasonC yeah... felt weird, I bet.

Jason C

No traffic lights, no traffic, like a handful of pedestrians who were as stupidly curious as myself, and me in my car.

Oh, and the one taxi that was out, who I almost ran into at a lightless intersection.

Which, getting into an accident with apparently the only other vehicle in Manhattan would have been kind of awesome in itself.

Shadow Wizard

I've never damaged a rental truck in my life.

Shadow Wizard

nice! You need special license for trucks, right?

Jason C

Then when I returned it, I pulled into the gas station to get gas across the street from the rental place, like 50 feet left to go to home, and I clipped the freakin' fire suppression system at the gas station with the top, ripped right down the middle of the roof, and did $4k worth of damage.

No, only if they have more than two axles.

I'm going to work on my class C license this summer though.

Yeah... lol...

Shadow Wizard

@JasonC what for?

Jason C

15:32

Long story, my social community / Burning Man crew here, we want to buy a semi truck and deck it out. That, and it comes in handy on a handful of occasions, for some reason maybe once or twice a year I find myself in a situation where a 3-axle truck is there but we're short on a driver.

I do a lot of volunteer event production and stuff for fun. So it'd be handy.

Shadow Wizard

I see. Good for you!

Jason C

Also for same crew we use 50-foot shipping containers a lot, and spend a lot of money moving them around.

Shadow Wizard

> a 2-axle vehicle with a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less.

How to write evil code: create an optional but non-nullable DateTime field, so it defaults to DateTime.MinValue, and have code where DateTime.MinValue actually makes sense. Now you have buggy code with working unit tests and code that doesn't crash at runtime, and you won't even know the code is buggy.

/rant

Jason C

@ShadowWizard You also need a class C license in NY to drive a vehicle with 15+ passengers, which also comes in handy.

I intend to get an A/B eventually but not this year.

The laws vary by state.

Jason C

@Stijn How to write evil code.

Shadow Wizard

@JasonC lol, that can cause problems when people move between states...

i.e. in a split of a second one becomes a criminal

Jason C

No, it generally goes by the state your license is issued in.

All the requirements are fairly similar so there aren't like, major problems.

I suppose the unspoken assumption is if you've done what it takes to get the license in your state, you theoretically know how to operate your vehicle no matter how the laws differ elsewhere, which is what matters.

I mean there's certain special cases. Like if you have an oversized vehicle you need to get permits for that trip before you drive in every state you pass through, and the process/requirements differs by state.

But that kind of stuff is more connected to how a state treats their own roads, rather than how a driver operates their vehicle.

Q: Do NOT Maintain Multiple Accounts

There are several rings of users that appear to be maintained by the same individual. I started digging into some suspicious activity by one user, uncovered a group of four that I found suspicious, and escalated to the Community Manager team. It seems I may have struck the tip of an iceberg. The...

The entire iceberg: all SF users are Adrian.

Listening to NASA livestream and researching an anime's fact for anime.se. Can't concentrate to both...

Mistakes here are probably less embarrassing than the reverse (writing up a factsheet for NASA and suddenly going on about saiyans or whatever)

I'm disappointed at the scale of SFSE thing, though: salesforce.stackexchange.com/… shows invalidations in low hundreds of rep points.

@zaq that's still like 20 votes. If you don't catch it before it gets worse then you've got bigger problems.

well, small site; only one user on the site has over 100K. More importantly, low scores for posts - just a few votes can easily put you in the top for that week / month / whatever. Which tends to really put folks off.

Yeah, you get these invalidations on SO or Math or AU where folks are losing thousands of points, but usually those are over quite a few posts.

Even on SO, if you're consistently getting a half-dozen votes on your answers in a tag where 1-2 is the norm, that's really off-putting.

(unless you're actually writing really good answers, but usually that isn't what generates complaints)

user315433

Can anyone help Kevin get over this?

Some of those funky waffles with the big sugar lumps baked in, washed down with a trappist ale should do the trick.

user315433

Somehow I didn't really expect the Q-ban post to be re-featured after being un-featured for the weekend at shog's request.

user315433

Or maybe weekends are that long.

In any case, old news by now.

user315433

Hm, an email with subject "IMPORTANT TAX RETURN DOCUMENT AVAILABLE", sent from user named "ZAQ UNIVERSITY" but with obviously non-university account. Asking me to click a link and enter SSN as identity confirmation. These phishers are getting too predictable...

user315433

... but the punchline is: the email was legitimate.

@zaq yeah, now the auto spam flagging bot got the attention.

user315433

The uni contracted some 3rd party for this stuff, and they did such a nice job. :/

user315433

Literature got pro tem mods, including a certain emrakul.
