@SonictheMaskedWerehog That pattern looks like it's already caught by Potentially bad keyword in body and Potentially bad keyword in answer; append -force if you really want to do that.
@MadScientist Sometimes those business types (think pointy hair) see "experience and critical" personnel as "expensive" and think "why not hire a new person at half their cost!"
I wouldn't think that was what happened here but I can also not deny it as possible based on the current decision making track record
@LinkBerest I don't think "hiring a new person" was part of the plan at the time
that's part of the headache for me here. I do think that the current upper management is actually pro community. But its going to take a while to resolve a lot of obvious internal tensions, and I don't know if in 6-8 years, a future CEO/CPO/CXO is going to feel the same way
@JourneymanGeek ehh, I'm doing triple workloads on certain projects (double on others) because covid means skeleton crews and upper-level people keep referencing how this will become the "new normal" - i.e. why can't we keep this up all the time?
They are only now seeing how the burnout is causing more mistakes and quality issues (which cost more) but ..... they still keep referencing it :\
So my opinion of c-suite decision makers is at a particular low point right now (and SE has been low enough for a while) - so I just cannot discount the possibility of that type of thinking (when it happened) whether change happens now or not
@LinkBerest also its probably as much "We could probably use the money elsewhere and make more money" not considering the main people who would push for teams are people who use SE
and its semi trivial to set up an internal Q&A site
I always thought that was a big push for DOCs because if you could combine the forum and manuals (SOPs or whatever) that would be a big sell corporate side
yeah, I haven't rolled my own intraweb since the late 90s but I do have a bit of an "essientials" list for when I do pick options (of which proper hosting of all documents from SOPs to CSRs is one - another one is proper automated forms which I don't think articles would handle)
Yeah, I used to push for SE during boards but that stopped last year (ironically when my main job decided to finally follow my advice and try it out - cause covid - but we moved from it cause emojis)
New platform has some integrations which allow for Q&A (not as good as SE but better package as a whole for thousands of people so shrug)
Which returns to your point earlier - kill your advocates enthusiasm and well...
Apparently, your Iranian counterpart for our university's servers sucks so very much. Exam.universitysite has been down since last night, and this morning one of the students calls them at 9 a.m. "sorry, when is the site going to be back up? We have an exam on 10:30" "Oh don't you worry your pretty little head, the questions will be available for answering at 10:30" "BUT THE SITE IS DOWN" "Wha, really? Oops"
often times a series will not be sorted by # of book and it will also not be in the title, and I have so many books by now that sorting by acquired is useless.
I know it's not right, it's just that sometimes I can't find the book to buy a paper copy, or I already own a copy and it's not digital and easy to take with me ... I haven't used the e-reader for a long time too...
meta.stackexchange.com/a/352575/369802 < can I get some eyes there (and please read the question carefully too...)... I have a feeling I'm going slowly crazy but I can't see how the first part of that question (which I addressed in the first part of my answer) is supposed to be general and how the rest of my answer isn't answering the general case of election moderation?
I might've ordered an avatar if I wasn't saving up for an apartment.. I saw an artist that did pretty nice bird drawings on Twitter (I think it was portfolioday or something?)
@Magisch It's getting pretty bad lately though... Every purchase I make it's 'do I need this or only want it, in which case I could better save the money for later?'... I'm annoying myself sometimes XD
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Still keeping on keeping on. As a practiced hermit I haven't found "shielding" to hard but I'm lucky enough to have a garden and a pension I can live on. Whole swathes of people aren't that lucky and Boris J and his government are not covering themselves in glory, the way they're mismanaging everything. Not that I think I could do better, but I didn't finagle my way into being PM.
@Tinkeringbell Ditto. My shirt (from the stuff-a-way) is still in good condition. The pens are lurking somewhere in the pen drawer (with 101 other free pens, none of which will work when I finally get round to needing one.) The hard cover notebook is lurking somewhere n my study -- I'm sure I'll think of a use for it one day. The drink bottle didn't survive being knocked onto the tiled kitchen floor by a cat.
My Stackoverflow pen is lying on my desk and being used almost daily, the superuser pen not so much, it's a weird one. There's also a sharpie somewhere that European me couldn't figure out how to use (open) at first...
I did get one of mom's old nightshirts when I was younger, it was mintgreen with a print of Tweety. That one was old before I got it, I know that... and I wore it for at least 15 years as well.
@Ollie Followup on what JourneymanGeek said, I recommend you don't engage with that user at all when they post. I'm not condemning anything you said in them, but it's best to just leave them alone in their bubble of hatred. It'll eventually get lonely enough that they'll give up.
We all know that stuff, but IMHO there is some often overlooked excellence in the books
I guess though there's always the lagging effect of trying to catch up to something that's been getting a lot of attention. If you want to get impressed, you won't be.
That effect needs a good name to prevent so many fights on the internet. The Big Lebowski effect?
