Hey @Magisch you're famous: businessinsider.com.au/…

Should we say Stack Overflow, considering the question is on Workplace.SE?

They don't really care. It's just a slow news day.

Also they call SO a self-help website which makes us all sound like we're alcoholics

@bjb568 how's your prediction?

Took 8 tests, hoping for all 5s.

I'd be pretty happy if that were the case tho.

nooooo, I wasn't on the right page and collegeboard crashed.

Heh. Reminded me back then.. college's server couldn't hold surge amount of requests... server's down :)

Apparently they posted scores early, so if I just went there before it crashed I'd be done now :(

Yay, 5s everywhere except 4 on Lit and Psych.

Hehe! I'll be up with powers in 9hrs at SO again :-)
At our daily standup in GotoMeeting I've used my nick and the guys were pretty surpriseed.
I've explained them that my SO account will be unblocked tomorrow, and they started to be concerned _how nicely_ I would achieve them after all.
I calmed them and promised that I'm a mainly nice and helpful person, unless someone is going to overshoot my nerves.
I still believe that that suspension was kinda undeserved. I'll tell people how they're going wrong in using SO or SE in a way more mystic manner instead of being straight (or not will tell …

@ShadowWizard coz little point rage in the tavern

3:00 PM

@Telkitty To be fair, I use that phrasing all the time: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/299198/19679 , well before moderator messages were publicly anonymized. I know who issued this, but I don't make a point of publicly calling out moderators. In the limited time that anonymized moderator messages have been live, I've seen a marked change in the kinds of responses we're getting.

People are less likely to issue personal insults and threats when they get a moderator message from "Stack Overflow Moderator Team" than from "Brad Larson, Stack Overflow moderator". See how people react to a question being closed by votes from five community members vs. one moderator.

@Walt feel free do suggest such feature request... great way to lose nice amount of rep.... ;)

@Shokhet This was posted today, and linked to yours in a comment.

@Walt I figured it was something like that, but didn't see any similar questions on the MSE home page

Thanks :)

Thank you too, @Mithrandir, for the flurry of new votes on my question :)

user315433

Meanwhile, I DV'd because I don't want those notifications. If a moderator disagrees with my flag, that only means they are wrong.

You're entitled to your opinion :)

But wouldn't you want to read a custom response to a flag if a mod took the time to write you one?

πάντα ῥεῖ

@Telkitty Interesting to see the people at the C++ Lounge talking about me, and wondering what happened. Well, what actually happened were many, many rude / unconstructive flags placed at comments of mine, where I responded to _unconstructive_ (or even _abusive_) questions.
But well, that's just my POV. Mods seem to have better things to do than handling all these flags all day long.

@Walt Very interesting. Maybe it's time for me to try a new icon?

Also the last graph in the article was interesting, if unrelated to the main purpose of the study

user315433

I liked the cute-avatar blog post until the line "I don’t even know enough statistics to write an Hello World program in R"... There are so many things wrong with this.

@Shokhet 'twas also mentioned in the Teachers' Lounge (not by me).

@πάνταῥεῖ whoa.... Delphi... I started programming back at 2000 with Delphi 3, which was old already back then. Took some already existing projects and had to make changes. For some reason Delphi always felt like "toy language" to me, not real programming.

Why new job? @πάνταῥεῖ

(i.e. you left the previous job on your own to seek better job, or was, well, fired?)

Embarcadero did many things to improve it far over a _toy language_ though. At least mostly the same memory management and layout capabilities like c++ and c.
What should you do with an old (but successful) delphi code base? Throw it all away, go inside the house and rewrite everything within the next 6-8 years?

Anyway, @πάνταῥεῖ if you need help with the basic Pascal syntax guess I can still help, probably everything else is now very different. :)

@ShadowWizard Because I couldn't get warm with the indian management / owner at my last job. Big culture clash.

@ShadowWizard Well, there are always strategies, you can apply piece wise: laputan.org/mud

All in all what I heard from my new (old) colleagues (I've been working with most of them 20 years ago already), it sounds we should find a migration path for .NET, C# interop maybe.
I'm implanted at the core services team anyways.

@πάνταῥεῖ oh, so you actually migrate the existing code? When my company upgraded a project, we just did it all from scratch. Can't really import C++ to node.js I guess.

Also a (better?) different RDBMS than ADS should be considered. Fairly big tasks.

Q: Meet Team DAG! (Developer Affinity & Growth)

Sometimes, you really should pay attention to the folks moving around behind the curtains. We'd like to take a moment to introduce you to a very special product team at Sta...

Team Direct Acyclic Graph? Ah no ...

@Bart Ah, yes that makes sense. I guess you'd have to go out of your way to isolate whatever code you want to do performance testing on into it's own component. And even then, I imagine you want to test how it performs within the Unity framework code that calls it ("Update," etc).

It really only works well for "micro benchmarks" I suppose.

user315433

"Affinity Team" sounds a little like "Ministry of Love".

Yeah, and then there is either their old Mono (max .net 3.5) or their magical IL2CPP compilation ... it ain't trivial. But for some of the stuff we're doing I can at least isolate it.

8:32 PM

@Bart Oh wow, I didn't know about those two limitations of Unity3D. I have only worked with it a few times, following little demo tutorials.

Let's just say there is a lot of technical debt in what they currently have. There is some cool stuff in the pipeline though (went to their developer conference last week). But yeah, for decent perf, especially on mobile, you have to jump through quite some hoops.

user315433

Coincidentally, gateoverflow.in also has a quality project of sorts.

@Bart Nice, I bet that was a fun conference.

It was very interesting. Learned some cool stuff. Had some decent talks with some of their developers. Worth it. And the whole event was catered :D

I guess we should be gratified that there are no safe-cracking suggestions

though the number of "safe mode" results upon splitting "in to" is depressing

@Shog9 heh, thanks. How you explain the different results though?

Based on past searches? Location?

Anyway, @Walt here is how to identify DAG team members:

@Walt oh, turns out it's the same for me when searching via address bar, I just never did it before. Probably taking results from different cache.

I wonder how much tera bytes is Google Cache.

@M.A.R. shouldn't you be sleeping?? It's late night for you!

Firefox's search box renders the same suggestions as Chrome's address bar, but also includes a few more. Safe-cracking is #6 in the list.

(or did you wake up to pee and passed by? ;))

@ShadowWizard shhh not so loud

@ShadowWizard if my reviewing counts as peeing, yes.

@Shog9 probably you set Google as Firefox search engine?

@M.A.R. nah, if anything reviewing is like changing diapers.

of course

@Shog9 oh... maybe FF tweak the results a bit

Talking about taxi, a taxi driver here in Israel charged tourists 1200 NIS instead of 120 for driving from airport to Tel Aviv. Just added a zero "by mistake".

@Walt is Man Friends some kinda Manfred?

@ShadowWizard have any drivers forgotten to add a zero by mistake?

lol it's even on reddit reddit.com/r/Israel/comments/6kazyh/…

1400, not 1200 oh well

Lucky for them, it was featured in a popular TV show, so they got big compensation.

I bet many others never find out, or never dare to complain, or never get anything back if complaning. :/

@Walt come to Jerusalem instead. Same level of danger, more fun. ;)

@ShadowWizard not sure there's a "leader" as such. Our PM (product manager) is Joe Friend.

@Oded I guess we'll wait and see. Good luck on that by the way, it was great to see that you're in

Thanks
