An outsider can actively work to fit in. Or choose not to, and suffer the consequences of the choice.

Journeyman Geek

but that should be commented on and closed then ;p

Although John Cavan did not get his accounts deleted, he did resign as a mod on Pets and Photography.

Journeyman Geek

@Gerry I can't/won't comment on the details, but its sad to see people burn out like that.

My favorite diagrams describe a process in which diagrams are organized and created which in tern depict an abstraction of the interaction between pieces of software.

user202362

My favourite ... or my only activities are fixing things. Lawn mower, locks, website, apps ...

user202362

My heart yawns for making new things, but there are a bunch of old and crappy stuff waiting for me to fix

bjb568

I can't tell if your heart yearns for that or if your heart is just really tired.

user202362

It's more like bored than tired - I don't get bored when I have absolutely nothing to do because this world is full of interesting things, I get bored when I have to get boring stuff done.

Yes.

user315433

Am I missing something here? Answer +42... over 20K views... and the whole thing is "remove a space".

user315433

Did those 20K people who found the post after googling "OMG textarea not working" also have a space inside a tag?

Elephant

I can see it as beginner's mistake, or someone who doesn't know how markup language works.

Also, it has required in the titled, so not necessarily just textarea

user315433

Perhaps a common mistake.

user315433

But ugh, that HTML with no quotes anywhere...

Elephant

5:32 AM

And surely, googling "textarea required" returned SO post as 3rd result

Journeyman Geek

@Gerry no one better upvote or downvote that... ;p

Jon Ericson

@Gerry Depends. How many ways can you screw up a textarea tag?

user202362

Elephant

^ I expected that to fall, disappointed :(

I retagged this to bug because I assume the duplicate title check should also run for edits in the grace period. I would expect this to be already reported somewhere but I can't find earlier bug reports, not on MSO or MSE at least.

Elephant

First time hearing about this bug

rene

Yeah, not sure why this loop hole is possible. I didn't expect those edits to follow a different code path.

It is not uncommon to have similar titles: data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/664836

Maybe it is by design after all?

Best luck.

On-topic for meta?

Q: How can one get inverted names on StackExchange network?

I came across this question on Stackoverflow and saw the poster's name. It's mirrored on both x and y axis. The real name should be Chandran but actually it's this way How is this possible?

discussion

M.A.R.

@πάνταῥεῖ Shrug

Kinda yeah

Journeyman Geek

vaguely

I think its one of those "let it be, but consider voting appropriately" things

πάντα ῥεῖ

Borderline at least. Well, SE sites support rederening unicode. How Unicode works finally isn't a question to ask at SE Meta.

Journeyman Geek

If nothing else, its a handy dupe target

10:06 AM

^Good point that.

Journeyman Geek

And this is why they pay me the... imaginary unicorn dollars...

M.A.R.

Why do some sites require less spam flags before deletion?

πάντα ῥεῖ

As mentioned, all good luck for your interview. Unicorn dollars won't buy delicious dog food ;-)

Journeyman Geek

lol yeah ;p

or squeeky toys.

I am thinking large cardboard box sitting on a pile of rocks (in between rocks for stability), and plastic bags as water proof on the outside. Transparent plastic bag as windows.

user202362

or stuff that and buy a large tent

user202362

Also I need to stop buying tents, I broke 4 in the past 3 years

Journeyman Geek

You should cannibalise them

and make a big hobo tent

@JourneymanGeek look at what you have made me search for on youtube:

Hello.

I need some help.

I read a post on meta as how to disable notification on a particular site and disabled the same for one such site I have signed in. In the meanwhile I found a down vote and on retracing it discovered a comment, something I wasn't notified of. I want to enable notifications again but can't as I don't remember how I did it the first place and couldn't trace out that post either.

Journeyman Geek

1:44 PM

I didn't even know that you could turn off notifications

Q: Disable notifications from my less-used communities

I've visited some communities (like Software Recommendations or Meta) only once or twice. I found out a way to remove them from "Your communities" list, but I haven't found how to disable notifications (e.g. reputation for a question upvote). Is there a way to achieve this?

support notifications

@Tytoalba its apparently impossible

so... what did you do >_>

Elephant

Probably the notification was dismissed accidentally?

Journeyman Geek

userscript maybe?

Tyto alba

@JourneymanGeek :p My memory possibly betrayed this time.

Journeyman Geek

Its possible. ;p

Tyto alba

Well. When an user is pinged this way @Firstname lastname

is there a possibility that the user won't be notified?

Journeyman Geek

1:57 PM

Pings are odd.

Tyto alba

Yay.

Journeyman Geek

Usually pings are based on the first three letters...

Tyto alba

Ok...

Journeyman Geek

@tyt should work, unless there's a nick collision

but I just tab complete most of the time.

@Tytoalba or reply, which also works. ;p

Tyto alba

It worked.

Both of them.

Thank you.

Journeyman Geek

1:58 PM

natch. I spend too much time on chat, and know it pretty well XD

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek yup

@Tyt will ping Tytoalba

Journeyman Geek

yup. as would leaving the space

Tyto alba

:) I'm off now.

Shadow Wizard

Cya!
