@FTP Hey, not all pro-tems get elected...

@FTP Weird... I guess there were a couple of inactive protems? Otherwise, I'm not sure why they'd drop down to only four... though, I guess the voting with that many slots could be a bit weird...

I'd think that it'd not be too rare on first elections from beta to Graduated? Seems like a decent number of beta sites have four mods to start.

@Catija I think on SR.SE 2 of the 3 pro tems didn't stand ;p

That happens, too. :)

@FTP They've been rare of late :) But PPCG had, as you said... six? So I suppose it makes sense.

I guess it's morning, but I'm not sure if this is a real world...

meow

It's probably a real world... whether it's the real world... is up for debate.

is this the real world? is this just fantasy... caught in the landslide, no escape from reality.

@Shog9 Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see....

... a yellow lemon tree

That sir. Would have you eggwashed, breaded and fried. Cause tarring and feathering is too good for you.

I would make an awful daydreamer then... dreaming of 3 baby chicks that might be cockerels...

@AdamLear I got an empty tag question page on stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/c%23 at 7:03 UTC, the response payload doesn't look off, except the empty div#questions, refreshing resolved it

for c#. I think the special symbol destroy it

@OptimusPrime It has destroyed many developer hours, sure. In general it has worked (and does now).

cv-pls Unclear what you're asking. Title seems like a valid question (albeit a dupe), but the question body is a totally different, off-topic question. I prefer "unclear what you're asking" to provide better guidance; it looks like they just copied and pasted text from the question they were trying to edit: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307218/…

@ShadowtheHedgehog chaos-emerald-pls meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307220/…

@SmokeDetector tpu-

@Ano It looks like he simply posted his intended Markdown without explicitly indicating the problem in the body. I still stand by the "unclear what you're asking" close reason.

I also vtc'ed as unclear... and might become no-repro...

Why did this question from the 13th most popular SOer attract so many downvotes? I'm not a web guy, is it that bad?

Because it feels like the same type of questions that newbies shovel in by the dozen these days, perhaps

@JohnDvorak Seems plausible. It just amuses me that people became this negative about it.

@JohnDvorak yep

reopen-pls OP claimed that they accidentally left the question text out, and added it back: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307218/…

@Derpy T -5

@Ano Also, it's not a dupe; the target I was thinking of was the same error but a wholly different cause.

> There is a single good thing you get from working with SharePoint. Every time you have to ask an horrid question and someone nitpicks by saying that your idea is against coding best practices... just say "SharePoint" and even the most extremist code style inquisitors will just drop the argument.

I'm hearing sharepoint in the camp fire horror story voice every time you guys type that

Whenever I hear about camp stories I remember that line from Portal 2

An Android app that consumes PHP web service and using Sharepoint as its data storage?

That's the whole trifecta.

you forgot Oracle

wait... it gets better...

... never mind, found out. Forgot that SharePoint still switches to IE 10 compatibility mode... Time to override (Trombe)

@rene gone by the blue feet...

@Derpy hmm? What "this"?

@TelautonomousKitty little bit, there's always the chance to get burned. ;)

@rene Confirmed that something's ill on the tag engine side. Marc's looking into it

May the force be with him ...

well, I've given the servers a thorough kicking; I'll be trawling through logs trying to figure out what happened for a bit :(

The server beatings will continue until engine performance improves.

I would have hoped I could repro this is a reliable way but have failed to do so, sorry.

I doubt it'd be anything you could repro deliberately without insight into the backend stuff.

Don't under estimate my ability to break things for you ...

Don't under estimate my ability to break things in advance of even turning the server on

lol

@MarcGravell I'm so certain I'll be questioned about accessing this over the corporate network...

naming is hard

I kinda regret that title

@MarcGravell loooool

@MarcGravell Regret regretting it. That title is awesome.

@ShadowWizard I think Derpy means that since I'm changing my username, it would be the perfect timing for you to change too. Just guessing tho :D

@RougetheBat whoa... you can understand @Derpy better than I do... guess you're a better pony than me! :D

Y'all change your usernames too much.

:D

@Catija One does not simply change ones username TOO OFTEN! There's no such thing!

:D

At least @ShadowWizard Is easily recognizable because it has the same root.

@ShadowWizard No, I just know the context :D

@Catija yup I'll always be @Sha :P

Not calling you an "it"... the "it" there is the username...

@Catija and then there are those of us with thousands of names :D

@RougetheBat As long as you don't expect me to recognize you.

:P

naw, you'll recognize me from my user ID :P

I don't even recognize myself from my user ID.

Because it's more common reading user IDs than names :P

@ShadowWizard I'm a better wolf :D

@Catija oh I know... :D

@RougetheBat Wolf Pony

one sec

Welcome to the furry fandom, where everything is possible!

@RougetheBat @Derpy will like it! :D

AAAND there goes my weekend xD

furtunately, the winter break is next week (so not really a problem :D)

wtb anonymous iterators

Anonymous iterators is not a good idea. They're better off as a separate class instead of a single-use one

Why?

@JohnDvorak why are they better off as they are or why would I want one?

if the iterator is re-used, it has to be re-written when reused if it's an anonymous one

Code example @RougetheBat?

Any anonymous iterator will do, there's no need for an example

relevant: Eric Lippert's blog post from 2009

and anonymous iterators are a pain to pass data to
