That's certainly more obvious. But what was wrong with "should be closed"? I feel like there were some announcements about this. Was it considered anti-welcoming?
@Alex worse is the Triage "requires editing" (which means "only needs format, grammar, or spelling fixes that any user can apply") over "unsalvageable" (only the OP can fix as needs <add flag reason here>)
however, I do remember something about that from back when Jay used to write for the blog (like 2012 or 13-ish)
^ yep it was Jay from the first overhaul (or first major one at least)
The Meta discussion is buried somewhere in the trail of posts linked in this question if you really want to dig in <- from back when they actually asked Meta about stuff then did it
That goes back a while. But I remember until pretty recently in the flag choices it said something like "this question should be closed". Now it says that the question needs improvement.
Also, now only two out of the five headings actually answer the question of "What kind of improvement does this question need?" that the flag dialogue asks you.
> We’d like to reconceive “closed” as “hidden” so that users can improve their question without feeling embarrassed or exposed.
oh, that's also where the first reference (of many) is made to the "Why, for the love of all that's holy, do you tell people to ask a new question instead of editing?" issue
Which to me is the biggest problem with the new close stuff
This is fixed.
The problem was a bad abstraction in the audit log code. The audit logs take an IUser abstraction when recording who was affected by a change; this can be a user, a room, or a message. Users and rooms both have concrete primary non-null Ids. Messages have nullable foreign user I...
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Ah, yeah, I remember when my younger brother had a cough so we had to go into a 2 week quarantine as well...I missed the chance to go into school for the last day :,)
@EleezatheCharacterWizard oh wow, just due to a cough?? That's crazy... here quarantine is only if getting positive result for Corona, or being nearby one with positive result for more than 15 minutes.
@Ollie define "hike". I've walked at >4k meters, but I got there in a car ;) I've walked from ~1500m across several kilometers to climb a peak that was at the horizon and reached 2509 meters. That's the only one I count as having hiked though. Driving up to the mountain and then walking around is cheating!
I've stood at 2509 meters, looking out across the view and seeing the mountain I started from on the far horizon, knowing I have walked every meter between there and here. I had driven up to the first mountain, but started walking from there across the intervening distance to this other mountain and then hiked up it. That has to count!
@JourneymanGeek I bet you have a whole setup with an external array of RAM chips that Ash can wear in a little vest and you then hook up to your machine.
@Shubh-Khandelwal Not really a joke, actually. I mean, I have 32G of RAM on my ~3-4 year old laptop already. That's not sooo far away from having a few hundred gigs.
@JourneymanGeek I will probably do that next PC I build too. I want to finally get me a proper silent one.
lol I am running two FHD displays(one of my laptop and other a monitor) and chrome (with like 20 tabs), PyCharm and spotify on just 4 gigs of ram and i5
