@drnikki @EricaJoy We've been seriously thinking about this one ("developer") just in general a lot too. What does it mean if we say Stack Overflow is for developers? Can/should we use more open or inclusive language?

Catija

If nobody's suggesting it, why does it have to be quick?

Shog9

you gotta jump on these things. If you don't, someone else won't suggest it.

Pretty soon, everyone hasn't suggested it, and when you also don't you feel like a follower

(as I type this, I realize that this conversation is an hour old. And poof, there go my dreams of being a Tavern hipster)

Journeyman Geek

@Shog9 essentially though - a lot of folks who work in tech don't directly write software. I don't, not do I want to.

Shog9

@JourneymanGeek to be fair, your SO rep ain't that great either

Journeyman Geek

01:51

Nope

It's entirely from one answer which was interpretative poking around

Alex

It's better than mine.

Shog9

Me, I like "programmer". I feel like everyone knows what that means. Unless you work in TV, in which case you're dead to me.

Journeyman Geek

I mean, I love everything else. Code on the other hand....

@Shog9 I worked in movies once. Loved that job :(

Shog9

I don't think movies have programmers though

Journeyman Geek

Hah.

Completely incorrect

A lot of modern video production involves bespoke tools and scripts

And some amazingly ugly hacks

Shog9

01:55

ah, but that's just computer programming

it's not movie programming

Journeyman Geek

Hm. True

Shog9

I mean, I've heard of TV programs. Even TV programmes, which the poms think are equivalent or better to TV programs. But I've never heard of a movie program.

Journeyman Geek

But... Isn't say python easier than programming a VCR?

Shog9

of course; that's why you can't throw a brick without hitting a Python programmer, but almost nobody even owns VCRs anymore.

Q: Why are email addresses from temporary email services (i.e. Temp-Mail) allowed to be used to make accounts?

Right now, the same account that is asking this question is made from an email from Temp-Mail. This means that if this account or others similar to this get banned somehow, they can create a new account easily by changing their temporary email, do the registration, and dispose of the email. Also,...

support user-accounts email

The way they chucked a link to a temp mail service on the end there feels a bit spammy

@angussidney Yeah, looks a bit like. The post would have been okay even without the link.

I think there's already the default(?)/standard stance from CMs about migration, because this is the 2nd time I've read this

> There are a few considerations with migrations and I generally recommend that you close the off-topic question and encourage the OP to ask the question on the other site directly rather than migrating it. It's often faster, since you don't need to wait for a moderator, and there are some benefits for the asker.

and the previous one

> Now, that being said, I do know that there's some overlap between users of both communities... so if anyone who is really active at SF&F and familiar with their guidelines sees something here they definitely think is a good fit there, great! Leave a comment suggesting the asker re-post their question on SF&F (and delete the one they posted here).

Journeyman Geek

Shadow Wizard

closing @Derpy question as "unclear what you ask" :P

Derpy

@ShadowWizard sharepoint-*

since tags do not implement any form of hierarchy

and on SO there are separate tags for each sharepoint version...

I am starting to get pretty annoyed at having to include explicitly ALL version tags in any query.

It would help if marking something as [sharepoint-2019] would automatically add [sharepoint] too....

but as I said... no hierarchy.

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy what's wrong with this search?

This will also bring [sharepoint-2019] when it will exist.

(just make sure to bookmark this exact URL, not the final result which expand the tags)

Derpy

10:08

@ShadowWizard two things:

Bookends

and that's all, folks!

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy umm... yes? waiting

First, that you are replying to my question "any way to search by partial tag name?" with "Y U no use partial tag query"

@Derpy that's been suggested. I guess though that would massively complicate how tags are stored

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy no, I wasn't sure what exactly you are after.

which brings us to point 2

that works for search.

Derpy

does not for watched tags

Shree

Bookends

Derpy

10:12

@ShadowWizard I know I know... was just hoping it would also work for the watched tags thing. It doesn't

Shadow Wizard

It used to work, I think... removed when they changed the backend and renamed it to Watched Tags instead of favorite tags.

And they also removed something much more useful, tag subscription.

So they made it look more nice with more colors, and be much less useful than before. meh.

Bookends

~~I'm worried those users who accidentally added [android-*] tags on their watched tags will have a hard time removing them...~~ i am an idiot

Shadow Wizard

@Bookends well, they can't add it anymore.

Derpy

@ShadowWizard it partially works.

if you add [sharepoint*] to the watched tags, clicking on it will correctly result in the expected query being performed

but you get no coloring in the question list.

So, it is mostly broken

Bookends

and then there's also the limit of 20 top tags

How the 2019 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Came to Be (And Your Last Chance to Take it!)

Julia Silge on February 07, 2019

For nine years, we at Stack Overflow have fielded a survey, asking people who code about their opinions on a variety of topics, from whether they prefer a dark or light theme in their IDE to how their challenges change with experience. This is a huge project for us each year, with contributions in 2019 from product managers, our UX researcher, designers, community managers, web developers, marketers, and me, Stack Overflow’s data scientist. We learn so much each year from our Developer Survey, both from the results and the process of fielding it; right now, we have a massive Google Doc of thin …

Dark energy

In physical cosmology and astronomy, dark energy is an unknown form of energy which is hypothesized to permeate all of space, tending to accelerate the expansion of the universe. Dark energy is the most accepted hypothesis to explain the observations since the 1990s indicating that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. Assuming that the standard model of cosmology is correct, the best current measurements indicate that dark energy contributes 68% of the total energy in the present-day observable universe. The mass–energy of dark matter and ordinary (baryonic) matter contribute 27...

@Alex - What I see is: "Asking: Users with < 10k rep trip CAPTCHA* if more than once per 60 seconds, or within 5 seconds of starting new post .... Users with ≥ 10k rep trip CAPTCHA* if more than once per 30 seconds, or within 5 seconds of starting new post --- Answering: Users with ≥ 10k rep trip CAPTCHA* if more than once per 30 seconds, or within 5 seconds of starting new post --- Note:

* For all of the above thresholds for hitting CAPTCHA, if you have at least 200 reputation and have solved a CAPTCHA in the last 5 minutes, you will not have to solve one again.

So if you are free of the CAPTCHA and it's not an 'IP thing' or a keyword block then it's because it thinks you've answered or asked too frequently.

@Rob Indeed, I tried posting an answer a few seconds after posting another answer.

But that's not listed as one of the limitations.
