The candidate pool in Bitcoin election is unbalanced... one candidate has 7 moderation badges, the three others have 0. One has CS=38, three others have 23 combined.
user315433
Sadly, one must somehow pick 3 out of these 4.
00:22
cancer tho
@Telkitty yeah, I think huskies hit 12/13 easily
@JonEricson they don't complain much... they just clam up.

@Telkitty 12. Small dogs live longer tho
we're hoping he hits 17-18 then grumps quietly into the night

The practice of keeping 0-score unanswered questions forever because of 2+ comments is worth revisiting.

This isn't really about fixing question quality, @Mysticial - this is more about gearing up for a world in which we don't have to keep slapping folks in the face with lousy questions until they're manually closed and deleted. — Shog9 ♦ Jul 1 '14 at 2:23
user315433
Slapping will continue until morale question quality improves.

Also, the sentence reads as if "they" refers to "folks".

one posted this photo in one of the facebook group for android users
he bought a phone and opened it, he can't find the sim and sd slots
;p it's in built battery and the graphical representation on the back cover clearly states what to do
another one commented on that saying good to know you're unmarried
@JourneymanGeek I don't think so
ah. downvotes then ;p
user310756
@JourneymanGeek i voted
not my habit. I didn't downvote on off topic questions much. they will get deleted anyway. plus most of the off topic posts are added because the person is not aware of the rules (because they are b noobs)
user310756
it's because of the new topbar... everyone gets led back to stack exchange blame the new topbar for everything
07:01
@OptimusPrime downvotes are so I can delete ;p
user310756
@JourneymanGeek it has 3 dvs
07:32
@JourneymanGeek needs one more delete vote ... /cc @sha @Bart

@OptimusPrime SO is... special? ;p
though I recall Shog mentioning the site isn't growing as fast as elsewhere (hence SO.language)
@rene already hit it with mine
localized SO's are really not nice. they prevent many people from not using main SO site

there's probably a good reason they went for japan and brazil (russia was a no brainer since there was already a SO style site they borged)
@JourneymanGeek forgot to ask. do you know or using any workaround to solve the taskbar issue or is.. just.. ok with that?
@OptimusPrime its kinda not happening all the time so... eh, I just turn taskbar hiding off until it annoys me, then turn it back on
yup not all the time. but when it happens, it really really irritates me.
@ShadowWizard why'r you chasing @Yve?
08:03
@OptimusPrime hmm?
you entered few milliseconds after she entered. so the fall effect looks like you're chasing her
@rene kaboom
@OptimusPrime blame @rene for pinging me :D
!!/blame
@OptimusPrime It's Optimus Prime's fault.
08:05

@OptimusPrime It's Optimus Prime's fault.

@OptimusPrime It's Journeyman Geek's fault.
But yeah @Yve and me got special bond, no doubt. :P
08:18
a lady fall on the road from a scooter and a crain killed her
that seems like a very dark thing to share
hmm yeah. but there are some people who won't stop the vehicle even if they knew that it is going to hit something

@SmokeDetector define bad
@OptimusPrime Good. How are you doing ?
08:28
fine
Are you planning to move ?
Target big firms only
Like Amazon Google Honeywell EMC2 Intuit etc
going to resign from current company on monday
How is your problem solving skills ? Also Data Structure and Algorithm ?
08:31
@TheLittleNaruto that's risk with backlogs
@OptimusPrime you got an offer already ?
@TheLittleNaruto logically 4/5
@OptimusPrime that's really good. Even better than me.
@TheLittleNaruto nopes. The current company has already broken many promises and I am not so happy with that
What will you do after giving resign ? You should have something in hand
It's not Germany you know
08:33
In DS, not that good but average. My main area is Front end development
Not planned yet. I've to apply for few companies and also trying to get some freelance projects.
@OptimusPrime what area you're working on doesn't matter man! What matters is your problem solving skills and data structures and Algorithm
At least for big firms
Average in DS
Work on it then
Study hard like 2-3 months
And then start applying
as said, the back logs are an issue. still having 10 papers
Sorry I missed that
So you're still not completed your education
08:37
completed course. but not cleared backlogs
joined company before clearing it
That is more or less same ^^
Completing course doesn't count as long as you haven't cleared the exams
Which course you're studying BTW ?
here in TN, completing course means you've completed 4 years in college. pass out means, you've cleared all backlogs and got degree
@TheLittleNaruto BE CSE
@OptimusPrime mine was same
@OptimusPrime it was same of us. And everywhere in the country
There is one rule though
do you know some well reputed companies in bangalore focusing on web app/ dev field?
we can't trust google in it
If you won't be able to complete it in total 7 years then you'll get NFT
@OptimusPrime every company I mentioned work on web app
08:41
nft?
Not fit for technical
After that you won't be able to get admission in engineering anywhere in the country
but as per our university rules, we have only 2 years to clear backlogs
plus they will give mercy attempts after each 10/15 years
That's good.
But after all this try if you are able to clear
Does it matter ?
08:43
there is no value if we clear in mercy attempt
Many companies don't hire people who have completed engineering in more than the time that he should have to
But I can do something with my experience certificate
@TheLittleNaruto yes. Google is one of them
I had 2 backlogs in total. In first semester I got 1 and in second semester too I got 1
I had never failed in any subject prior to that
when did you cleared that?
I was totally surprised lol
2008-2012
08:45
?
I don't like theory papers and most of the papers I've is theory. I will sleep in exam hall within 30 minutes if that's a theory paper
Which subjects are those ?
didn't remember exactly
but afaik, the sem wise backlog table I had is
sem | no. of backlogs
--------------------------
1  |  3
2  |  1
3  |  3
4  |  3
5  |  3
6  |  4
7  |  3
8  |  3
now I've 10 to clear
a small mistake.
Clearing subjects is easy imo
Though to get a very good marks you'll have to work hard a little
08:55
sem | no. of backlogs
--------------------------
1     |   3
2     |   1
3     |   3
4     |   3
5     |   4
6     |   5
7     |   3
8     |   3
but I'll sleep when looking to books
Did you even pass in any subject ?
That statistics looks weird
3..4...5
Dafuq is that
08:57
I've to maintain the number of arrears
What arrears ?
once HOD told me very good keep it up.
arrears means backlogs. We use that term
Ok
My roommates used to have backlogs in 1st n 2nd semester.
only? that's shame
3..4
But later they cleared all
09:00
we advised our juniors

**without arrear, no career**
@OptimusPrime I see now why you have that many backlogs
bold is not working
It's ok to have 1 or 2 but having that many backlogs and feeling proud on it is totally shame
test with new line
**testing is completed**
@OptimusPrime it doesn't support with multi line
09:02
yeah
I am better in class
most of the other having 15+ now
and we are there to enjoy too. ragging, fighting and so and so
How long will you be doing that ?
in last 6 years
@OptimusPrime LIES
HSC + Engg
@OptimusPrime so you have friend circle like that too.
09:05
*maybe he's born with it*
Maybe its multiline...
*test*
**@JourneymanGeek**

**NO**
yeah, looks like formatting and multiline don't work
hmm
!!/blame
It was never working
@TheLittleNaruto not that much. but the team is good
09:06
meta.stackexchange.com/questions/302358/… not sure if this belongs on pets or lit ;p
@OptimusPrime all I am trying here is to make you understand that clearing backlogs is very important for you now. If you want to earn a decent money and want to work for a very good firm
yeah. I've to clear atleast 5 of them in this sem
+ the next 5 in april
@JourneymanGeek it is a poem
@OptimusPrime yeah, I made a joke
also, considering everything. Horrible timing.
09:13
he edited the title
He's asking what kind of figurative languages used in that poem. valid question. somewhere else
@TheLittleNaruto my aim is to start a company. I am working now to earn the capital for that
09:32

@Shog9 I'd recommend the team have a good look at this. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/358240/… It's time to make a satellite site for beginners, whatever it's called. It will clear up some of the issues on SO. It's something that needs to be discussed purposefully.
17:17
no one
ih
how's my formatting on this comment?
O_O? SO have the first priority than others — Optimus Prime 14 mins ago
@YvetteColomb to the extent that beginners need a q&a site, Stack Overflow is a good Stack Overflow for beginners. The problem we usually run into with beginners is that they need something other than a q&a site.
Mentors, tutors, introduction to the concept of research and debugging... Y'know, the stuff schools would teach if schools were interested in doing their damn jobs.
Creating a separate q&a site for the same topics is like taking a reference book and tearing out most of the pages. Yes, it's quicker to read, but that was never its purpose.
@Yve the last point on my answer SO is for beginners too but being a beginner is not an excuse for posting zero effort question.
I used to be a help vampire when I had joined SO.
For example check this question: stackoverflow.com/q/14157049/1944896
18:39
ah @EdCottrell I am trying to verify a bug. Can you show me a question you closed (alone with your mod power. I mean no other involved in closing)
@EdCottrell thanks but not a dupe one. an off topic one

A: Time for roomba to ignore comments

gnatPrior to February 2013 questions without answers were more useful than now. Back then these could serve as duplicate targets. From this perspective it made solid sense to be careful about deleting old unanswered questions because these could make duplicate targets for newer ones. It made sense ...

> If the reasoning for that 2-comment criteria to protect from deletion is indeed as described above then it's about time for it to go away. It probably should go away over three years ago.

23:35
@YvetteColomb heh. I've always felt that the problem with a "simplified" SO style site for users unused to SE is .... the kinda folks who would use it would never go off it
they would prefer to be handed fish than learn to fish
user315433
Compromise: delete 0-score unanswered question with 2+ comments after 2 years. If in 2 years nobody cares enough to upvote or post an answer, the thing wasn't that useful or important.
which is 'nice' from the "lets get the worst out of SO to this site" but dumping grounds stink eventually
user315433
We can already get the worst out of SO and to ... reddit, codeproject, quora, etc.
Contrariwise - How does someone learn to use a Q&A site effectively?
For most of us - that's kinda accumilated over years and missteps and getting things right
but how do we distill that into something someone new can 1. get close enough to quickly enough to stay 2. grow into without the benefit of being able to make things up as we go along, since the sites are mature?
beats @OptimusPrime with the Autobot Giant S of Power
user315433
I somehow managed to participate in Usenet, PHPBB forums, and then SE without making a mess when entering each new place... Mostly by observing the thing for a while before posting.
user315433
23:42
Obviously not going to work if one needs halp its urgent
@Desire yup
and a new site for people like that isn't going to help
