There. Fresh air :) Good morning!

8:36 AM

for a swim?

Not alone... just peeking while on a ride.

8:54 AM

Nice! :)

9:26 AM

I wish I could see something like that when going out for a drive :) Oh well, farmland, forests, cows and windmills also has its charm.

9:36 AM

@Gimby maybe drive up to Zuid Limburg and have a look at a mergel groeve. But you'll miss the volcanic nature of the rock forming as in the picture

9:52 AM

@rene Limburg is on my bucket list, but it is juuuuuust to far away to make a casual drive out of it. I'd have to stay a long weekend or something to see more of the province (and Maastricht of course).

Yeah, I have done it once, drove from the Randstad to Vaals, made a hike of 20 km and drove back home on the same day. That wasn't ideal.

That reminds me, I should work on studying for my license.

10:21 AM

@Mithical I've been telling myself that for the better part of 20 years now :)

10:41 AM

@Mithical I almost had mine... then COVID came along and said NOPE.

They cancelled all the tests and rebooked them in a few months... I was in for one on April 7th, now it's August 8th. Grumble...

Welp.

gnat

applying 9-days rule of RemoveAbandonedClosed in the case you referred looks like a bug to me, its description explicitly prohibits this: "not closed as a duplicate" — gnat yesterday

^^^ folks I wonder if Thomas found a bug or criteria for 9-days roomba changed recently?

10:58 AM

With all the changes, moving to Core, etc. it's expected bugs will happen, so yeah, likely a bug. Is it reported on its own already?

You would expect going back to the Core would eliminate bugs ...

@ArtOfCode well hard to find a car with 2 meters between driver and passenger... ;)

@rene you forgot the dot.

:D

@Mithical you mean you're going to do the תאוריה test first, before starting driving lessons?

I did it in high school, maybe even it was for free.

You miss a lot by not going to school... ;)

11:27 AM

Anyway, here is my stash of quality food:

Kids love cottage cheese, it's consumed rapidly... :/

@gnat I slapped a status-review on it for that.

And who is the victim that has to actually review it?

No clue, that part of the process is sekrit.

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance Well... its cheap and easy on the guts I guess.

@rene Yaakov?

@Gimby not so cheap... one of those cost about 5.5 NIS which are about $1.5

So two of those a day... about $90 per month only on this.

But yeah, it's easy on the stomach, tasty, and healthy.

Lots of protein, calcium, etc.

Think they even add vitamins to it.

11:38 AM

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance Yeah but it's mass-consumed, that 90 bucks isn't so much then :) For a luxury product, it's cheap.

@Gimby true... and they eat tons of junk, don't worry. lol

1.5 dollars seems high though, I think it is being inflated a little because "health food".

No idea how they don't become fat. Maybe because they run and jump all day long....

They're not 30 yet.

lol

Well, there are chubby kids in their classes.

So it's not just age.

11:40 AM

No genetics break all rules of easy assumption making.

Heck, both me and my brother were chubby as kids... ;)

@Gimby nah.... it's in the category "because we can take so much".

It used to be more, about $2, then it caused a wave of protests, bans, etc, which led to lots of changes, and some new politicians. (Those leading the protests.)

lol it got a wiki...

Cottage cheese boycott

The cottage cheese boycott (Hebrew: מחאת הקוטג' or חרם הקוטג') was an Israeli consumer boycott which began in June 2011 using Facebook. The protest was against the continuing rise of food prices in Israel. The organizers called on the public to stop buying cottage cheese, which is perceived as a basic food item in Israel. Within a short time, 100,000 users joined the Facebook protest page. As the boycott gained momentum, it sparked a public debate on the high cost of living in Israel.Despite special sales campaigns designed to tempt shoppers, supermarket chains reported a sharp drop in the purchase...

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance There seems to be a lot of diary related problems in Israel? I once heard stories about butter too...

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance that... is not what I expected to be reading about today

@ArtOfCode en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_in_the_21st_century And down the rabbit hole you go.

@Tinkeringbell indeed

And they raised the price of a bag of milk recently as well.

11:56 AM

That's no fun :(

12:32 PM

Yikes, no butter :( I need butter and mayonaise to be able to breathe.

@Gimby Meme?

12:45 PM

No I don't joke about wasting precious mayonaise like that.

John Dvorak

Keep wasting mayonnaise like that, and there will be none left for pizza

*squints*

I'm a ketchup person anyways.

M.A.R.

My brother is a ketchup person

He even has bread with ketchup

Bread, ketchup, rookworst... perfect ;)

Rubiksmoose

1:15 PM

@Tinkeringbell My first thought when reading rookworst was that it was some sort of crow sausage.

I love it when Dutch words do that to people! ;)

Here's another rather famous one

Rubiksmoose

oh no! XD

That is beautiful

...huh, did not know @Glorfindel speaks French

or was that good ole' google translate

πάντα ῥεῖ

I believe he's a multitalented person ;-)

1:32 PM

@ArtOfCode no, that's part of the education here in the Netherlands. I just can't remember which preposition to use for these situations; even in English it's hard (do you ask a question on or in Stack Overflow?)

heh

in theory it was part of my education too

Now that I think of it, I don't even know which one would be preferred in Dutch ...

I can understand a decent amount of written French... can I write it? Hell no :P

πάντα ῥεῖ

Me also, I had latin at school

Same for italian, spanish and portugese

@Glorfindel 'aan'

1:49 PM

@Tinkeringbell hmm? Not that I know of. Example?

Scroll down to Mith's message before replying? :P

@ArtOfCode what did you expect to read about today then? :)

@Tinkeringbell meh I read FIFO

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance Glad to see you all caught up then :D

@Mithical milk is still fine, think it's cheap enough. But just because it's supervised, so they have no choice.

@Tinkeringbell oh, thought you meant health problems, not shortage. Yeah, butter is very rare, @Yaakov once bragged here (or was it on Twitter? ;)) when he bought some real butter...

That's because they're forced to sell it in a cheap price, so they prefer to simply not make it.

Yeah, the article reminded me ;)

Learning to work asynchronously takes time

1:56 PM

@M.A.R. and you?

Feeds

2:20 PM

Ryan Donovan on May 04, 2020

Whether you have worked in a traditional office or work remotely, software development has always had an asynchronous nature to it. But now that almost all of us are working remotely, it’s important to define exactly what it means to work asynchronously and look at some specific tips for folks that are new to it.…

@Tinkeringbell I'd use that when asking a question to Stack Overflow ... the company, though it'd fit if you think of Stack Overflow as a community. Too much confusion for me ...

John Dvorak

It's just like working synchronously, except red instead of blue

I'd always use "on". You're asking it on the site.

@Glorfindel I would say in English, you do something on a website, so you'd ask a question on SO ;)

But when in doubt there's always an SE site to ask your questions on :P

... but you're asking it in a community

I guess both work, I'm actually not sure which one I use the most.

2:31 PM

The latter does imply a sense of familiarity and personal relationship with it that most people don't seem to have though? ;)

3:12 PM

@ArtOfCode it looks like your elections site is broken, I see a 502 response from artofcode.co.uk/api/elections

yup, it's down

should probably remove the static pages too really, but I haven't got round to that

Yeah, no hurry. I know where to find an alternative list :)

7:07 PM

@rene sha-rt... smart... ;)

9:22 PM

Umm...this question was initially posted here, where it was then migrated to Electrical Engineering, then re-migrated to Electrical Engineering Meta, then re-migrated again to Software Engineering Meta, where it was deleted. What happened here?

@Catija What happened with that migration? Did something glitch up with a dev route?

Spevacus

Migrationception.

It was later unlocked, reopened, and closed with a different reason here on this site, but it still continues to redirect to the deleted Software Engineering Meta question. (I think this may have been overlooked since moderators are exempt from migration redirection.)

@ArtOfCode Taken it down permanently?

Catija

No. Nothing glitched. I was on my phone, there's no confirmation for migrations in the app, you just click and it goes... so I sent it to main first, then to meta... then I saw the comment and got really confused but... I don't know... stupidly trusted that it was correct... and then I just ... wanted to kill it all, so I deleted everything and unlocked it. I don't know why the post notice didn't go away, probably a bug but I don't have time to deal with it.

I think you need to clear the migration history for it to go away. (It also redirects to the deleted question for non-moderators, so clearing it will stop that as well.)

Also, you were able to re-migrate questions already migrated from another site without needing a special dev route via the app? As far as I know, moderators aren't allowed to do that ordinarily, and Yaakov commented that it requires a dev route.

Catija

The clear migration info specifically says that if you just want the banner to go away, you just have to unlock the post... which I did... and it's not working.

9:33 PM

Still, though...it still redirects (which you likely can't see because moderators are exempt from migration redirection), and it would be nice if that were resolved.

9:43 PM

@Catija I think it's because the question is closed, has a migration history, but doesn't have a migration rejection in its history, that it shows in the notice as migrated and redirects.

Thinking about it...it makes sense to me that re-migrating is blocked from normal use by non-staff, since where do migration rejections go?

stroopwafels

(never mind, it was just my browser caching the redirect response from earlier)

@Catija The lock is what creates the "post migrated" notice, the other notice is a genuine post notice, so you have to remove them both to restore it. Mod > remove post notice should do it.

@ArtOfCode Not the case. The notice was showing as "migrated" even though it was unlocked.

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog no, moderators can do that if they know the right buttons to press

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog eh, whichever notice it is. You've gotta do both to get it back to normal.

and probably mod > clear migration history too

@ArtOfCode So, tl;dr, it's allowed for mods, but disabled client-side, but accepted server-side?

no, it's allowed on both if you do the right things

9:51 PM

Hmm...I guess Yaakov's prior comment that it requires a dev route is incorrect, then.

not necessarily

there probably is a dev route that lets you do it in a single action
