A: Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange

Sonic Wizard April 2018 2018-04-27: The feature to allow <5 rep users to ask on the per-site meta about their own post was enabled on Stack Overflow. February 2018 2018-02-14: Post owners can no longer delete their own question if at least one of the answers has earned a bounty. 2018-02-13: Bounty own...

Not really. "please post only feature changes that affect the whole network"
 
user315433
(Not that I care about that list)
 
user315433
IPS had comments renamed as "suggestions for improvements", so ... ?
 
Don't you know??? SO is the whole network. 😉

@Catija sometimes I wonder if that's literally a corporate blind spot
 
With 170+ other sites... you'd hope not. 😕

you know the best way to test data? building an A.I. to achieve certain goals, tainted data should would give not accurate results

> Prior to that blog post going out, our executive team was hauled to the carpet by employees that were severely upset that we're not doing enough about this problem both internally and externally. People ended up crying meta.stackoverflow.com/revisions/366690/2
 
user315433
This deserves to be framed.
 
user315433
Next time you wonder about reasons for feature changes... it depends on who cried in whose office.
 
... or house.
 
@hey I just got another response that causes the survey to no longer have a majority of users choosing one option, so depending on responses I receive over the next couple of days I may keep it open for another week
 
user202362
3:21 AM
Judging by who is crying is biased, I cry on average once a week back when I was in the uni or fresh out of college.
 
user202362
I need to meet this quota somehow, and if I don't the next time I cry it will last much longer. It could be trigger by anything also ... like a movie
 
@Catija If I may ask, when is the expected delivery date of Bennett's brother?
 
@SonicWizard Mid October.
 
By the way, the overall assortment of frozen food at Trader Joe's is just impressive

I'm sure someone was in a hammock.
MSE is now my top-rep site... that... probably isn't a good thing.
 
user202362
can you tell if someone was actually sitting on the toilet while making this call (while muting sound) ... you probably can tell from facial expression, can't you ...
 
@Catija Meh, I now have three times as much rep on MSE as I did just before leaving SO (my then top rep site). The rest is all from random upvotes accrued over the course of three years.
 
Yeah... that's totally the same thing.
 
Edge bug (or possible feature): if you edit your Clipboard from a private window, then close all private windows, your Clipboard gets cleared.
@Catija Take a look at the yearly rep league for Meta, you'll see a lot of weird things about me
I'm just behind you if you exclude SE employees.
 
3:45 AM
Numerically, sure... there's still a 2K rep split.
 
But if you look at others around me, all of them are veterans. I'm the only "newbie".
Also, if you include about 1,100 rep gained on my old account (user215114), ...

hello, sorry for the interruption, but could anyone please help me understand the disagreement on this meta post? meta.stackexchange.com/q/309511 I could not interpret from the comments why this is necessarily such a bad feature request. Thank you
 
I sometimes join group video calls. It's still sluggish over Wi-Fi despite it being about 250 Mbps each way. I usually have to plug in my Ethernet cable, which brings it up to 900+ Mbps each way.
Well, it was abused by a user who kept offering 50-rep bounties not just for rep, but to just keep promoting the question because he was the author of a project mentioned in the answer: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/91814/…Sonic Wizard yesterday
 
3:49 AM
@SonicWizard but this is a feature request to change what used to happen, isn't it? With the new mechanics that I've proposed, how could it still be abused in that way?
 
Besides, when you select "reward existing answer" as the reason, there's no check to ensure you're only awarding the bounty to an existing answer. You could lie about your purpose.
@GaurangTandon You have to consider the technical burden behind the request as well. Right now, the "featured" tab just lists all bounty questions. But with your FR in place, it will have to go into the history of each question and check which notice is attached. Currently, the reason is saved in a separate "notice" event; it's likely that the featured tab just checks the "bounty" event.
 
@SonicWizard I actually found the mechanic to be pretty simple, maybe I didn't describe it in enough detail. I want it to work this way: when I would select "reward existing answer" as the bounty reason, the webpage would immediately - without leaving that page - ask me to select one of the answers below that post. Once I select one of the answers, the bounty is immediately applied to that answer. That's it.
And if I exit the page without awarding the bounty, then no bounty is started.
 
@GaurangTandon Adding more detail when you first post is less likely to make it incur downvotes first.
 
okay let me edit it
 
3:58 AM
I think folks just have a kneejerk reaction against changes to core mechanics
 
@JourneymanGeek i wouldn't call it a change, everything else stays the same, but just that now the "reward existing answer" bounty would be forcefully applied immediately. And that makes sense.
okay fine that really is a change
 
;p
It is!
I'm not saying you're wrong,many of these make sense, and it does work more in line with what most people assume a bounty to be.
(Since maaan I go "a bounty is reputation spent to advertise a post" a lot)
 
hmm right

It's about whether we should translate non-English posts for the OP.
Of course we shouldn't, so is there a "canonical" referenelce that I can quote or link?
 
If the post is salvageable English, we should help.

Q: We need to help non-English-speakers somehow

After discovering where he was from in his profile, I invited him in the comments to ask his question in Portuguese also - this ...

 
hmm
SO, here's the thing.
 
Jeff Atwood on July 23, 2009

Since this came up on meta, here’s our official policy towards non-English questions on Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and Super User.

(note that I say “programming” below, but this policy is the same across all the sites — when reading, you should substitute the actual topic of the site you use, e.g. “sysadmin topics” for Server Fault, etc.)

It is not, nor has it ever been, our goal to be the one place in the world for all programming information in every possible human language. …

 
Minimal effort would be nice.
If you see a site's all in english, and you post in some other language, it makes it hard for everyone else to help you
bad english mixed with unavoidable other languages we can live in
or heck even google translate
People need to take exactly the sort of steps they expect others to take
 
Broken English is better than non English
 
2:56 PM
yup
and there's less of an excuse if you're in one of the language SOs
 
bad English mixed with uncomprehending 中文
 
hey
last time I remember, we told not to, especially for question... because even though it helps OP getting an answer in English, the answer itself might not help OP due to the language barrier (and possible Google Translate's lost in translation)

About that Hinduism suspension... if it's necessary so that the rest can dig out from the mudslide of meta posts and get something done on the main site, it looks like a good decision.

Minirant follow up: I have not received any links to specific cases of discrimination. Offer still stands - one link to specific discrimination against someone based on a protected category, one suspension.

I probably won't suspend someone if it was four years ago and they've shaped up, but I'll find something useful to do to their account

Eh. You are supposed to listen and nod in agreement, not to ask for facts.
 
@Undo My guess is there aren't any

Well yeah

One good thing I see coming from the blogpost is well-articulated pushback by those who actually use Stack Overflow (but probably would not bother writing on the topic otherwise). Nicol should do it more often.
 
hey
@hichris123 the other answers are not less suspicious... duplicate answers, a random comment by another similar answerer's username, most of them mentioned Surat as their location and worked at same company...
 
Yeah, definitely looks like something odd there.
Comments like this are what I think people most think of when they say that SO is rude:
I said it wouldn't compile because your loadedCart is incorrectly constructed. You should not be using an array of [String:Any]. You've been given lots of correct explanations on how to do this right. Do it. (Actually the answer you rejected, from Sh_Khan, though somewhat allusive, was exactly correct.) — matt 3 mins ago

user315433
I mean the second one... I don't have a problem with the first.
 
user315433
When talking to a person who is hard of hearing, one has to raise their voice. Not to be rude, but to come through.
 
But imagine that's a new user to SO... are they ever going to want to come back if they are told "I said X. Do it."?
It might not be per se rude, but it definitely doesn't leave a good taste in someone's mouth.
 
user315433
4:55 PM
That's their decision.
 
user315433
People are entitled to feel how they feel about things.
 
user315433
The comment may be useful to others.
 
And they're also entitled to some sense of decorum as a fellow human.
The comment may be useful, but it needs a tone change.
 
user315433
And the OP of the question needs a question ban.
 
user315433
4:59 PM
Looking at their other "contributions", I'm sure I won't be sad if they decide to leave.

Yeah, that's a racist view. With a bit of kitchen psychology knowledge mixed in.
Did you actually understand what's making the humor in BBT?
 
hey
I.. am not following many shows, did you mean this BBT?
 
Bluntness is one point of professionality. What makes you efficient and successful most of the time. There's company politics involved on the other hand.
@hey Nope.

I haven't heard the term BBT before, I'm lost :(
 
Try "Why is Sheldon Cooper such an unpleasant person?"

Ah, Big Bang Theory. I knew that show and that character, though I didn't follow it much.
And yes, Sheldon is probably the most memorable character

5:47 PM
@bro ooh, that is a good essay.
Gonna chew on that for a bit
 
5:58 PM
@Undo So there's some clarification that needs to happen here: This isn't a "totally doesn't happen, prove it to me" campaign. This is a "I have tools to fix cases, throw me the cases to fix" campaign. Apologies if anyone understood it the first way, I'm not that person.
With each case I see, I'll become a stronger supporter of this movement. There's definitely an element of proving this to myself, but not in a challenging-other-people's-feelins way.

This may not be well known. However, highly talented men and women are different. Highly talented men, tend to be very strong in math skills and weak in verbal skills. Tech is a good fit for them. Highly talented women tend to be good at math and have strong verbal skills. As a consequence, they can go into a wide variety of fields. Why would women go into Tech when they have better opportunities elsewhere? — Peter Schaeffer 3 hours ago

same reason more women are child care workers, statistically speaking not a lot of men have that skillset and enjoy it
Which is of course not to say broad trends apply to the individual

That good lady went away from us recently BTW :-(
 
@YvetteColomb ah... So that's why management is predominantly female.
 
my company is actually 2/3 eastern european women
not sure why just everyone in the lab and all of the material scientists are

Speaking of, management page has not been updated after the departure of CMO and COO.
 
@user5389107 that's the opposite of what he's saying though

Subtracting CMO leaves 0 women on that page.
 
@Shog9 Yes that is a bad comment
 
user315433
But I don't remember a passionate blog post about that.
 
And I'm not sure where I was going with that argument
 
@bro I know a CRO (Chief relaxation officer) from my recent job.

Q: How to get people around the network to stop holding grudges?

D.HutchinsonI've often encountered very rude comments by high-repped users around the network - particularly at the Interpersonal Skills site - and these comments do not align with the views of Stack Exchange, e.g. its Theory of Moderation. For example, if I ask a question that's on-topic and is based on ...

Also... I'd hesitate to classify programmers as a group as "highly talented"
