CiviCRM Meta doesn't quite work with the face though because it has < 360 entries in PostHistory, but it's the happiest site.

Elephant

Didn't expect Drupal was that bad... or was it because of downvote from spam flags..

user315433

I think that's the reason.

user315433

65409 downvotes by Drupal Community bot, drupal.stackexchange.com/users/-1/community?tab=topactivity

Out of 97833 in total.

Maybe I should subtract out community's downvotes

What does community cast upvotes for?

Elephant

@JasonC transferred votes from deleted accounts

Jason C

Ah

and migration

user315433

Community has more DVs on Math (83688), which is mostly from my deleted accounts there.

user315433

Drupal certainly leads in Community DVs relative to the size of the site.

@JamesENL If it makes you feeling any better, I am currently in 'my life has no meaning' mode. Interestingly, I am also in a feisty mood. Maybe I should turn down my aggression a bit.

TIL ja.SO uses 万 (man, ten-thousand) separator, not "k" (thousand) for rep, and John Skeet's rep is almost 1m

user315433

@Elephant 281 days ago his rep was twice as far from 1M as it is now (from the graph on the network profile). This puts the 1M mark at January 16, 2018.

user315433

Assuming the rate of growth over the next 281 days is the same as over the preceding ones.

And ignoring any meta bounty extravaganza that's likely to happen near 1M.

Mumble.... Oddly , I have the feeling this boils down to the assumption that the less you talk about something, the fewer will notice it and the less drama (and work) it will cause. Considering that the whole notification system is built to make it more difficult to notice decreases in rep than it is to notice increases, it would seems that the interpretation is quite correct.

@Kylo you're assuming people would vote to "leave open". That is not the case in most careful reviews. You should demonstrate, with evidence, that the current system is hurting valid contributions.

Q: Editing without upping?

Is there some way to edit an answer without pushing the question to the top of the list? My use case would be this answer that I just edited because the English was bad enough for two people to add comments about it. But an edit that minor shouldn't have pushed it to the top of the question list.

A: Round x to the nearest integer in "asked x year(s) ago"

Date formatting is vexing because of so many hidden traps like pluralization rules across languages which require special handling for many cases. That and the fact that we re-use common formatting code in multiple places, sometimes because of layout constraints (in some places, horizontal space ...

user315433

Oh no, the question page now has "2 years, 9 months ago" and such things.

Stijn

that's a welcome change

user315433

For example, q/4 was asked "8 years, 8 months ago". Does the comma even belong?

user315433

I know that "8 years, 8 months ago" is not what I would say.

@Stijn yep. But if there are too much duplicates (as @Gerry said) I expected to see them in the list. Moreover, in the top of the list.

Math is kind of depressing. I'm sitting next to a bunch of high school math teachers in training in Number Theory. Prof asks what an expression that looks like 2xy is in the context of right triangles and nobody could figure out that it's four times the area.
