I found a company profile in Jobs which is not in English, is that allowed? It looks spammy, too (though Google translate indicates it actually describes the company ... in some Far East language; not sure if it's Tagalog or Malay)

... Indonesian apparently

The great mother ~~nature~~ meta is more interesting on some days.

Today we have not one, not two, but three less than -10 posts. What a great day.

user202362

~~Sauce~~ source?

Elias

06:33

@tripleee I think I know the company you meant... and I'm not really sure if they have job listing in IT industry

On the other hand... how to report these strange company profiles like stackoverflow.com/jobs/companies/companyontheworld , stackoverflow.com/jobs/companies/adi-exmud , stackoverflow.com/jobs/companies/pt-pupuk-indonesia , stackoverflow.com/jobs/companies/pt-premier-oil-indonesia?

Oh hey, we have Indonesian sbobet company profile!

tripleee

@Elias similar to the one I reported

I submitted through "contact us" but not sure if that will fly

maybe time for yet another meta post ...?

@AdamLear could you please update transifex. I can't wait for the end of Nicolay's vacation :) BTW when does he return to work?

user315433

Both answers at Which user is "the most" legendary across the whole network of sites? count per-site metas too... and both are out of date because Boltclock earned Legendary on Meta.SO two days ago, so has two now (SO and Meta.SO)

Elias

I stack with the overflow

@Michelle that wasn't ruled out in the question ...

user315433

As usual, (see full text) comes to the rescue. :-(

user315433

Daniel Fischer is the only user who is twice-legendary on non-meta sites.

user315433

15:01

@rene True, just pointing it out because it isn't obvious.

user315433

Most people don't think about per-site metas in terms of reputation achievements.

(apparently I have a photo of my dog)

dunno what breed, but anyway... she's not with us anymore :(

Adam Lear

@alexolut I think he's back this week, but I'm not sure when exactly

user202362

@Elias she's so cute

Adam Lear

15:17

@alexolut new translations should be live in about 5 minutes

alexolut

@AdamLear good! thanx!

Adam Lear

alexolut

@AdamLear a some new work for translators just arrived :) Is it yours?

Adam Lear

15:34

... nope. looks like it's a bunch of SO Enterprise stuff, though

1 hour later…

rene

16:49

@AdamLear if you have a minute can you check if I talk poop here? it is another profile link issue, this time for a merge.

Adam Lear

@rene you're correct

Q: Is there a polite way to do this rude thing?
A: No, it's a rude thing to do.

Q: How does the Stackoverflow footer animation work?

How does the Stackoverflow footer animation work? Particularly clicking on one element (e.g. Technology), to expand into more.

user315433

The developers who ignored performance and blasted ahead adding cool features to their applications will, in the long run, have better applications.

user315433

Can't agree with Joel here... there is hardly anythin "in the long run" on the web.

> The last line of almost every function consists of a string of 3,296 right parentheses. You have to buy a special editor to count them.

user315433

This reminds me... what is more popular these days, Gmail or Inbox-for-Gmail?

Elias

18:10

I use both... Inbox for Gmail, and Gmail for Yahoo!Mail and Hotmail. shrug

rene

@Bart XD

@Bart one can't just talk poop

It's something that requires more efforts.

Q: Documentation is read-only. What’s next?

As previously announced, Stack Overflow Documentation is now in read-only mode in preparation for its sunset permanent removal from the site. Before we move on, I want to update you all on some responses to your feedback. I’m enormously encouraged by the thoughtful comments and answers to the...

@NathanOliver: We're still working out how the archive will work, but it's looking like you'll have to link to the entire data dump. :-( — Jon Ericson ♦ 8 mins ago

user315433

So, no GitHub repo with examples.

Bhargav Rao

How long before some community member takes the dump and gives a beautiful web view of that?

(someone did that with teams, so someone will surely do it with docs)

rene

19:42

I did the ugly webview with Teams

Bhargav Rao

yep, I remember that.

I don't care if the UI is bad, some UI is better than no UI.

rene

It was more an exercise to get into this nodejs stuff

user315433

A 3rd party web view is great but you never know what happens when that person loses interest in maintaining the site.

Bhargav Rao

true.

user315433

20:07

So we avoid linking to it, so the site does not get any traffic.

user315433

20:23

I worked on mathindex.wordpress.com for quite a while, imagining how it would prevent incessantly duplicate questions about this limit or that integral.

user315433

Turns out, the sets of people who dislike duplicate questions and those who post duplicate questions are disjoint.

user315433

Why not ask again and get personal explanation, anyway?

rene

20:57

In the challenge instructions I am allowed to use Stack Overflow or Stack Exchange as a resource

Well, someone said it was OK to post on MSE ... so there we go ...

user315433

Finally, this explains why we get these questions. They heard about "Stack Exchange" and are looking for a site called "Stack Exchange" to post their question on. And surely enough, find a site with "Stack Exchange" in its name.

rene

Yes, and that site does have a ask question button, pr0blam solved
