Already?

It's always morning in Iceland...

Catija

2:21 AM

@ɪBᴜɢ why do you think we lost both of our mobile devs? Brian is still very much here.

@Catija he dosen't do mobile dev now though

iirc

Catija

We still have him, though.

The question implies we don't even have the people.

technically we still had kasra for... quite a bit after mobile development spluttered to a halt too :/

I guess we could reword it?

actually... the question feels true ;p

Brian is still there, just not as a ios dev

ɪBᴜɢ

2:39 AM

@Catija I recall being told there wasn't an Android guy anymore, and I implied it on iOS as both apps are in the same box now.

dupe of "mobile devs were pulled to Team DAG"?

but AFAIR, the latest official statement was that the mobile apps will still be maintained... when there's a stopper (like cannot login into app at all)

Morning!

I don't believe it's morning...

Peter got a good sense of humor!

No, waffles. — Peter Mortensen 12 hours ago

I always saw him as editing machine.... :D

@ɪBᴜɢ iOS app enjoyed having a dev (and one heck of a dev, Brian) for about a year while the android app didn't have any, that's the main reason the iOS app got tons more features, and less bugs, than the android app.

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, third one seems to be the charm. Mine will arrive Friday, says the SMS :)

Even basic feature as revisions list... android app just don't have it.

@Bookends Kasra was on DAG too before leaving SE?

7:47 AM

@ShadowWizard yes

@Bookends oh I forgot lol

also, the last fix to prevent the app from being mostly unusable

8:01 AM

...army update: summons has been pushed off for a month to give me time for tests and doctor appointments. \o/

Yay!

now I have to actually get studying, though...

Good luck!

@Mithrandir good! (or not?)

@Mithrandir בגרויות?

@ShadowWizard possibly a couple, but mainly for the GED

(basically... look up how to write an essay, don't glaze over during the math portion, and try not to be foggy headed...)

@ShadowWizard yes, good

8:16 AM

@Mithrandir good then! :)

8:27 AM

@JNat just in case you missed the comment, email, and this question... trying here as last resort. I'm pretty sure the user just doesn't have proper email on their profile, as I said in the comment, but can't know for sure.

I'm not sure what I'm doing in the office with >37 fever...

@Bookends Infecting others!

@Bookends 37.1 isn't a fever

37.5 is on the verge

38 is already reason to stay home.

!!/tea sick @Book

:(

Not nice to ignore sick people, Smokey.

don't have thermo, so not sure how high it is...

though it's clear that I have a hard time to think clearly to chat, but I still can code...

TIL coding is easier than chatting

8:45 AM

morning

@Derpy I think your question has gone beyond a simple question, and an answer that is a couple of sentences long. If you ask on one of our sites and include all the follow-up details in the original post someone will be happy to earn a few rep and accepted answer checkmark. If you post a link here we can take a look at it. --- If your reformulation invalidates prior suggestions that's unproductive towards obtaining a quick and easy answer.

@Rob question? No question there, only a rant about local ISP companies trying to coerce people into unrequested services.

K

@Tinkeringbell could you please check the three tracking mail we got so far? Seems the last one started moving.

@Rob O

8:48 AM

@Derpy Yep.

Only the last one. I got an SMS saying it would be delivered Friday

Maybe it's some internal bug with Fedex...

DHL

the first two haven't updated for me either

So are non-English sites eligible for HNQ now?

Apparently. Perhaps it's just a glitch, like the meta posts were ;)

@forest always were, as long as there was still some English in the title.

(language sites, not SO in other languages)

8:56 AM

I meant SO in other languages.

oh

Q: local storage : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null

javascript

This is on HNQ.

13.566 hotness points

so yeah, a bug, probably residue of the bug showing meta questions as HNQ.

Erik A

@forest You can slap a comment under meta.stackexchange.com/a/324489 to ask if this is related and also a bug

What sloppy programming :D

8:58 AM

waiting for HNQ from CS50...

I didn't even know that was a site.

...why is that even a site though?

Kind of private beta type behind the scenes, e.g. not appearing in sites list.

@forest cooperation with some university, I think.

Are private betas just betas that aren't on the site list?

@forest among other things, yeah

I would have thought that it would require a login to even view.

9:03 AM

CS50 is "special" - its a course that harvard runs - and there's an online version on edx

Its kind of a "We'll run an instance cause we think it does good" things

ah

9:14 AM

@JourneymanGeek @Tinkeringbell shouldn't we pin Shog message on the starboard before it gets lost?

What message?

ponders deleting it

yesterday, by Shog9

needz moar ponies

Probably the one about ponies now dangling at the bottom of the starboard?

It is clearly a center point of the welcoming campaign - posting cute candy colored ponies to help people chillax

@Derpy contemplates clearing the stars

5

9:17 AM

we should pin it.

boop

@Magisch now you only need a way to clear it there too.

not hard...

;P

@Mithrandir could be, depending on whether you add justifications in the equation.

9:36 AM

I saw the star board moved...

whistles

Bug in one of our major local newspaper comment system...

it's 0.29... still under 1, so 0 is correct (serious answer)

rofl

RTL... it's a numbered list. lol

heh, working now. So it was just cache....

If anyone is curious... this is the page. Enjoy reading! :P

(TL;DR: the woman there won a title "Most Beautiful and Fitting Person" among celebrities, most others in the contest much younger than her. :))

10:26 AM

hehe, my first "serious" discussion on twitter, and guess with whom? :D

@ShadowWizard Most beautiful?, compared to celebrities ... Hmmmm.

@Rob and fitting... it's complicated, doubt other places got such contest.

She won because she has cancer and she gave ultra good performance in a reality show.

So it's kind of positive feedback for her, more than she is being actually beautiful in the physical meaning.

Here's someone younger, and over 40: shakira.com/official_photos/34

Or maybe "beautiful inside". :D

With your redefinition it makes more sense.

10:34 AM

@Rob we also got someone younger, but not over 40: instagram.com/the_real_shefita

Became a very famous singer after almost winning the pre-eurovision contest here.

So, the one on the left?: instagram.com/p/Bt2uNpigQSW

LOL

The one to the left won the last Eurovision.

😁

Q: Should you add buymeacoffee option to user profiles?

20 downvotes on coffee.... how rude.

-16

As I was browsing I came across this user profile which offers an option to buy him a coffee: (aka make a small donation of 3, 9 or 15 dollars). Immediately I thought to (hijack this idea) that such option should come built in with every Stack Overflow profile. So if we can all agree to i...

feature-request profile-page users donation

:D

@ShadowWizard Many people say Taylor Swift is really nice. Her nominations and list of awards go on and on and on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… - can also sing.

I think the coffee downvotes came as a result of duplication and begging for money.

10:56 AM

I downvoted it because I thought it was a stupid idea.

It was unworthy of my downvote.

It was so bad you didn't even want to waste 1 rep? :P

Erik A

You can just use !!/coffee if you want coffee anyway

11:11 AM

@forest It wouldn't cost me anything but time and effort, plus actually reading it properly in order to vote fairly.

Oh wait it's a question so it doesn't even cost rep to DV.

✔️

11:33 AM

seems Yvette post on meta.SO has been forgotten too now.

@Derpy Meta.SO posts have a shelf life directly proportional to their outrage potential

11:58 AM

@Magisch didn't expect much to come from that post. Furthermore, as I said before, I even downvoted it because I still think it misses a point.

@Derpy nothing will come from anything. Rambling on MSO won't get read much less considered I feel

We're kinda doing it to ourselves with the outrage escalation

@Magisch oh, yes, we are.

now, we only have to discover who is "we"

we... are... anonymouse...
we... are... one...

12:38 PM

seems only the last watch package tracking info is getting updated. I guess now it is safe to assume first two were an error.

@Tinkeringbell somehow tempted to press that big red "live chat" button and ask DHL support what the first two tracking mails were about

Sure, if you have time and energy to burn, go ahead ;)

Then let me know? :P

@Tinkeringbell maybe I can social engineer them to send me the package that was erroneously mailed to Wezep

Well, then I'd know who to accuse :P

user302202

1:21 PM

There is no "we" in "meta".

user437611

Just confirming: does the "let us continue this discussion in chat" option not appear when using the mobile app?

user437611

Usually there's an automatically generated comment from SE system that says something to the effect of asking you to move comments to chat after a few back & forth comments. I don't think it appears on the mobile app, however. — Kyle Kanos Feb 23 at 14:58

@Blue Seems right

user437611

Thanks!

1:40 PM

@Derpy if you have the time for it

should be entertaining to watch

Is Tezos the first beta site to directly get pro-tem election?

user302202

2:46 PM

@Bookends Yes. It's also the first beta in a looong time.

user302202

> After several successful pro tempore (and one that's not yet succeeded) elections, I'm extending the program to Tezos, a newly launched public beta site. We'll see if this is a bridge too far. meta.stackexchange.com/q/314459

user302202

Freelancing election is now kind of a success?

user302202

If the measure of success is "someone showed up to take a diamond".

user302202

With no votes cast, it can hardly be called an election.

user302202

Soviet Union elections typically had 1 candidate for a position, but at least one could vote against that one candidate, by crossing them from the ballot. SE doesn't have even that.

2:49 PM

I mean assuming that it's very easy for a determined afficionado of diamonds to acquire the 300 rep during the nomination period and then to just grab the diamond

But even if you do it with noble motives (wanting to help a site you were previously uninvolved in) it feels like gaming the system hard

user302202

I did not see anyone actually do that (a newcomer acquiring 300 rep during nomination period, and nominating), so I would not assume it's easy.

100 edits

user302202

Not easy.

very doable in a 7 day period

copy edit every single thing that gets posted during. Ask a question, write an answer, get some votes.

user302202

You can only submit 15 at a time. Then wait a few ~~days~~ ~~weeks~~ or even months for them to be approved.
