Tavern on the Meta

@William - Aibobot is my alternate account and I answered your other question with that (Cause I was at work, and it was too long to write on my phone....)

Is there any level of activity on windows phone ? Are there active mods?

Trying to expand the scope of the site might be a viable option if you can get folks chiming in/supporting bringing in other platforms

alternately, as folks suggested - is retrocomputing ok with a merger? I do realise "retro" is a bit of a blurry line...

@Ollie congrats for the status-planned! That's pretty rare. Can still take few months (or even more than 9 years) but there is real chance it will be actually done. :)

@JourneymanGeek only if it's dirty. :D

Journeyman Geek

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@William added my vote.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardWearingMask lol, wanted to update a post, and staying to the letter of the rules I decided to log into aibo on a incognito browser instance :D

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@JourneymanGeek why? As mod or high rep user you won't get any rep or other benefit from editing posts. Can't see any issue with editing your sock's posts. :)

It's like commenting.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardWearingMask well - by right, you don't interact with your own posts

I wouldn't comment either if I could avoid it

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

6:28 AM

I see it as "don't interact in a way that gives you anything". Common sense.

Journeyman Geek

well a critical part of the alt account is to be completely aboveboard :D

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Might be mistaken and I don't set the rules, but that's my view.

I don't use sock so often so it's less of a problem, but might use it e.g. for commenting on own post to test a bug with notifications.

I won't upvote the comments of course.

rene

When my sock starts commenting on my posts it always ends in an argument that I lose.

8:28 AM

@rene I took a moment to doubt if you were taking about an actual sock and then i remembered that it's the term to refer for an alt account :o

still relatable though

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordineLotfi well I do have actual socks. @rene saw them all. ;)

Let's see if I can find it...

Nordine Lotfi

I once thought of having two separate accounts, one where i could ask only questions, and another where i could only answer...

Didn't go along with it when i saw the rules on alt account though

hmm

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

No rules set in stone except "don't vote/flag/etc each other".

Those will lead to instant suspension, if detected.

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@ShadowWizardWearingMask yeah, i see what you mean

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

But commenting, answering without voting etc, should be fine.

Now let's look for my socks...

lol rene bookmarked it.

anyway, is there any SE/SO where i could ask the yet to unveil secret of most of the time: why do socks disappear???

or more precisely, where

I'm very serious, it seems like there some strange things at work here

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Let's see.... 3-4 pairs have died since I posted this, and I got 6-8 (literally ;)) new pairs.

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@ShadowWizardWearingMask So, not a total loss :DD

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

So it also meant I had to move them into their own drawer, with no underwear.

rene

we need updated ~~proof~~ pictures

Nord The Lofty Wizard

I usually lose 2-4 socks or so, don't know where they go though...

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

8:35 AM

@rene lol

You stalker. :D

Nord The Lofty Wizard

sockler?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordTheLoftyWizard in which time period??

@NordTheLoftyWizard awesome!!

Nord The Lofty Wizard

solker sounds better

(i think?)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

nah

Less clear.

Nord The Lofty Wizard

that's a good question
I wish i knew, as i don't take note on when the sock are lost

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

8:36 AM

Well, I somehow never lose socks. They just tear at some point, or become loose.

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@ShadowWizardWearingMask yeah, not really seeing the socks in the pun

@ShadowWizardWearingMask mine rarely tear, but there always one or two simply gone

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordTheLoftyWizard sure, Science Fiction/Fantasy SE site. ;)

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Nice, time to get some interesting reaction (hopefully)

though i wouldn't be surprise if someone already asked this

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordTheLoftyWizard lol I was kidding... it's only for existing books/movies/TV shows. :)

So first you have to write a book e.g. "Where Socks Go When the Night Falls?" then you can discuss it on the site. :P

Nord The Lofty Wizard

...I was about to hit the review question button though o-o

even written a decent post too

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

8:44 AM

Show!

Nord The Lofty Wizard

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

hehe, sorry! blush

Nord The Lofty Wizard

nah, it's fine :3

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

You could get some funny comments, but it will get closed.

Nord The Lofty Wizard

yeah, probably downvoted/deleted too :/

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

8:47 AM

On a serious (?) note, you can ask on Life Hacks SE site how to avoid losing your socks. :)

Nord The Lofty Wizard

TIL someone there advice me to put a tracking device in each of them...

there actually some waterproof one, might try this if I'm curious :o

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

e.g. I asked there how to avoid losing phone and got good answers. ;)

Journeyman Geek

@NordTheLoftyWizard I think someone did some fancy math on this...

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@JourneymanGeek are you serious? :o pls show me

Journeyman Geek

@NordTheLoftyWizard can't remember where I saw it :D

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordTheLoftyWizard that's not a bad, idea, might get such answer on LH. :)

Q: How to avoid losing keys/phone/wallet?

I constantly lose my keys, phone and wallet. I tend to leave them inside the car, house, bathroom, public places, etc. It costs me a lot of valuable time plus increases my stress levels. Any tips on keeping my valuables in check? I have tried carrying around a fanny pack, checking my pockets whe...

@Nord ^

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@ShadowWizardWearingMask yeah, problem is when you need to wear them, and you're in a rush...then it'll feel like stepping on a lego brick :/

mag

@JourneymanGeek journey cm overlord when?

Journeyman Geek

@mag hm

I might sit this round out

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordTheLoftyWizard depends where you put the device. Surely these days there are super small devices you can attach to the top of the sock. :)

Journeyman Geek

I'm looking at the job requirements and one of them kinda rules out basically every mod

Nord The Lofty Wizard

8:55 AM

the accepted answer though: putting your socks on a leash O-O
I guess it would be fine since i don't technically have a pet

@ShadowWizardWearingMask yeah, for sure

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Yeah it was posted years ago. :)

mag

@JourneymanGeek which one?

Journeyman Geek

> 3-5 years in a similar community facing role within an organization with millions of users

I'm still thinking about it - trying to get my cover letter cleaned up, getting my resume a little more focused for the role but...

mag

you could argue being a mod meets that

Journeyman Geek

@mag SU has slightly under a million registered users

Mithical

8:57 AM

SU + Meta

mag

anyone who's been a mod on MSO during 2019 has stood a trial by fire that dwarfs a normal CM role

Journeyman Geek

@mag so - yeah. its still on the table, but I'm taking my time to try to get it right

I've applied twice already, I don't think I have that many times left

Nord The Lofty Wizard

+1 for the patience
If it were me, i would probably stop at the first/second attempt and try something else

Journeyman Geek

@NordTheLoftyWizard I like this place, and I've been running communities on and off for the last 15 or so years...

Nord The Lofty Wizard

oh yeah, any place i could ask questions related to jobs? (like technical question on employment, resume/cover letter etc)

Journeyman Geek

9:01 AM

@NordTheLoftyWizard workplace.se

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@JourneymanGeek Thanks

Journeyman Geek

@NordTheLoftyWizard and well

I believe in the community - and the folks here. I might not always believe the company, but its a good way to get voices in that advocate for yanno....

all of us

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@JourneymanGeek yeah, i totally get what you mean :D

could be a good opportunity for you, and us too

Journeyman Geek

at the same time - there's more than one role up

so sitting it out, and trying later might be a stratergy

I don't really know.

M.A.R.

@JourneymanGeek Hey wait, the next presidential debate is two weeks away

I'd totally watch "Journey v. Trump".

Like, he'll go on a big rant about how Singaporese immigrants cause lots of problems and Journey'd say only one word: "Actually"

There. YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID

Journeyman Geek

9:14 AM

@M.A.R. I would end up biting him and it would be in bad taste

M.A.R.

Ugh, dental hygiene is important. I would not stand for this chat advocating otherwise

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@M.A.R. there won't be. The one yesterday was so horrible they're going to abort all others.

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizardWearingMask What, really?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

When two figures that don't fit to be president even a tiny bit try to have a "debate", the only outcome is chaos.

If they were on the street, without suits, we would be watching fist fight, for sure.

Which would be better. :D

M.A.R.

Would have been awesome to watch with Trump's funny cute lil hands

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

9:24 AM

@M.A.R. bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54350538

> President Donald Trump and his challenger Joe Biden have fiercely clashed in one of the most chaotic and bitter White House debates in years.

M.A.R.

Well it's the first of the three

Lol, Biden told Trump to shut up? I'm almost tempted to watch

mag

9:38 AM

@NordTheLoftyWizard I usually don't apply twice to a position either

that being said I've never sent a CV and haven't at least gotten an interview

the places where I didn't get an offer after that was a mutual thing, where I wouldn't have wanted to work anyways

mag

9:49 AM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask I'm pleasantly surprised by Biden. He seems to have the exact right strategy for dealing with trump

Nord The Lofty Wizard

sounds nice :)
I usually get an interview 1 time every 5 time i apply somewhere (very rough estimate), though i did had an offer or two before (but they required me to move very far from where i was, and considering the pay, it wasn't really worth it...)

@mag meant 1 out of 5* but you get the idea

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@mag on the contrary. Fighting with Trump with his own strategy (fake news, disrespect others in order to get respect for yourself, etc.) is doomed, as he's master of this.

Mithical

I was just slightly terrified by the debate.

That... wasn't what I wanted to see when I first woke up in the morning.

Queenie Goldstein

every countries politics looks the same nowadays

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@mag I didn't sent a lot, maybe 20, got about 5 interviews, and got the job in the one place where I mentioned my SO activity in the interview. ;)

Queenie Goldstein

10:04 AM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask Does SO rep also add to the pay....

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@QueenieGoldstein leaders fight among themselves, not caring a bit for their people? Yup.

Queenie Goldstein

@ShadowWizardWearingMask lol...7 bills passed in a day without opposition...xD

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@QueenieGoldstein I didn't have much back then, it was many years ago... not sure I even hit 10k. But I did have some "decent" (i.e. with positive score) answers, which was enough. :D

Queenie Goldstein

Ohhh nice, I got 4 years...I can make it to 100ks lol

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

:)

Queenie Goldstein

10:06 AM

but where's your github?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Don't have one. blush

All the workplaces I was part of (three, not that much :)) don't have open source repositories, so didn't have to commit anything publicly. And never got my head into committing stuff on my own just for fun. The few components I wrote from scratch were for work, so couldn't have them open source anyway.

Mithical

Well, if you're ever interested in getting involved with it, I know a few repos... :eyes:

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

10:22 AM

hmm... spam takes longer than usual to get nuked. That's the second spam post that last over 4 minutes in the last hour.

Usually it's nuked in less than a minute.

Maybe auto flag bots are off?

Mithical

didn't have a high enough weight

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Mithical so it's a bug, there's also link at end of the post, which is just wrapped as a paragraph.

Some wrong regex in Smokey?

Nord The Lofty Wizard

Smokey smoked too much? :/

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

10:42 AM

lol

Nord The Lofty Wizard

in all seriousness though, does Smokey just use plain regex with a db of known pattern for spam, or some weird trained AI?

I recall i may have asked this once but I'm not really sure

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

meh, 6 minutes is still good enough, and x100 times better than most sites being spammed. :)

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@ShadowWizardWearingMask yeah, for sure

at least it's not my emails ;)

mag

@NordTheLoftyWizard It's regexes all the way down

regexes long enough to stretch to the moon and back

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Somehow I don't get spam to my email. knock on wood

And I have that email for.... oh my... lots of years.

Nord The Lofty Wizard

10:44 AM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask usually, even if you don't post it anywhere, some spammers have a script that just randomize or generate existing email, then spam it

mag

different kinds of regexes too. Blacklisted Keywords, Blacklisted Websites, custom regexes, special rules based on known patterns of abuse, all that

Nord The Lofty Wizard

so you might just be lucky :o

@mag interesting

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordTheLoftyWizard there is list of "blocked words", but other factors like post ending with a link.

Nord The Lofty Wizard

@ShadowWizardWearingMask I see...it's on github/gitlab/git* right? :D

mag

yes

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

10:45 AM

@NordTheLoftyWizard so they didn't reach me. ;)

@NordTheLoftyWizard charcoal-se.org/smokey

@mag Thanks :)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@NordTheLoftyWizard yeah it's all there, Smokey is open ~~book~~ source.

If you feel like doing it you can even visit charcoal HQ and acquire privileges to give smokey feedback yourself

there's also a permission level for people to make new spamchecks via commands, and to approve certain PRs

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Yeah Sonic often do it, and it creates PR's automagically.

Sep 26 at 6:10, by SmokeDetector

@SonictheMaskedWerehog You don't have blacklist manager privileges, but I've created PR#4936 for you.

hmm... isn't the word "blacklist" blacklisted on SE? ^

Bad Smokey.

SmokeDetector

10:50 AM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask It's SmokeDetector's fault.

@Mithical the Trump/Biden debate?

mmm

Spevacus

@Mithical That was one of the wildest things I think I've ever seen. It was the softest of softball questions and he still was completely incapable of disavowing hatred like that.

Ollie

1:35 PM

Pure curiosity:

Why are all (most of) the users with "Trump", "stand by", or "hates" in their names suspended?

Rob

I think what is written juxtaposes each other: for and against - both candidates have a political history, and a political record (of doing or not doing). Voting outcome will be determined, most likely, by who has (and will continue) to provide measurable incremental improvements.

-- Like most elections: Pick your poison.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie because they're fire starters.

So better distinguish obvious fire before it starts...

Didn't see for myself though, also might be just socks of suspended accounts, suspended automatically. :)

Ollie

If you want to keep the fire from spreading, why suspend instead of delete?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

(if you're suspended, and try to create new account using same credentials, the account will be created, and automatically suspended.)

Ollie

Ah.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

1:44 PM

@Ollie delete will just make the offender create another account.

And another.... etc.

In the past major spammers were merged into one account, which was suspended for like 100 years.

Ollie

Really?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Maybe @Journeyman took part in that too, not sure. :)

Ollie

Just put them all in one pot and turn up the heat.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

That was like putting them in a shuttle and sending to the outer space. :P

Ollie

Until they create another account.

Journeyman Geek

1:46 PM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask naw, we can't merge or give 100 year suspensions

I do one year ones IF I know a spammer is recreating

Ollie

Unleash the hounds upon them, to quote @Spevacus

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Found it:

Q: How does the Deposit-User work?

On SU there's the Deposit User which is suspended for quite some time. And I also know that it is used for spammers, but how does it work? Does the account of the spammer get 'linked' to Deposit? Do the answers get moved there?

discussion spam-detection

@JourneymanGeek mods could merge in the past.

Ollie

What's the difference between hyperlinks and permalinks?

Spevacus

Hyperlinks are hyper and permalinks are perma. ;D

Ollie

Eyeroll

But downward.

Hyper? Do they leap and scream with anticipation if you hover your cursor over them?

Journeyman Geek

2:00 PM

@ShadowWizardWearingMask fixing merges are an epic pain

Spevacus

@Ollie To actually answer your question: A hyperlink is just a link that takes you to the linked URL. A permalink is a hyperlink that's intended to never change and be as immune as possible to link rot.

Ollie

Ah.

Rob

@Ollie No.

See: meta.stackexchange.com/q/277230/282094 and meta.stackexchange.com/q/339030/282094

@Ollie - answering dupes ....

I do it cause it helps people right now, without worrying too much about reputation

Gotta trust people have their reasons and know what they are doing

Spevacus

Depending on the situation, a gentler, personal touch in the form of a pointed answer is helpful I think, when it comes to Meta.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@JourneymanGeek yeah that's why the power was taken away...

Journeyman Geek

2:26 PM

@Spevacus more or less 😁

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMask That and it's twin should be historically locked, as they're 10 years old and don't reflect current practice.

Aibobot

3:04 PM

@Rob the twin is tricky - I'd suggest commenting there

the other one, sure flag it and we'll lock

rene

3:36 PM

Funny to see that mis-posted (10K only): meta.stackexchange.com/a/354791/158100 it kind of made sense, up to some point ....

Spevacus

Hah! Looks like it found its home a minute or two later.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Rob no, I don't agree. It's wrong to put historical lock on every old question. It should be used rarely. And the twin is just an outdated answer, there are thousands of these too, and they can't be locked with historical lock anyway. If the answer is also misleading and can't be edited to be in better shape, it can be flagged for deletion.

The Loop- September 2020: Summer Bridge to Tech for Kids

Jon Chan on September 30, 2020

In response to COVID-19 and its impact on SYEP, over 50 nonprofits and technology companies came together to design the Summer Bridge 2020 plan to continue the program. As one of Summer Bridge’s partners, Stack Overflow designed a workplace challenge to give students a taste of what it’s like to work in the tech industry and to give us a chance to learn more about how students engaged with our developer community.

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMask @aibobot It meets the guidelines for Historical Locking, while it could be deleted it's not necessarily a bad solution or a poor practice to bundle the accounts (particularly when the usernames seem auto-generated and consecutive; the name having no value). The FAQ seems clear enough, but if that's where the problem lies that's easier to fix.

Aibobot

@Rob I'm saying flag it so we can review

but for the outdated answer, commenting seems fine

if Ivo was still active - I'd ask him to fix but well, he's been busy with real life

Rob

5:03 PM

Ivo was on SO yesterday and at SU 2 days ago; so somewhat active. I'll be able to look at this later, as I'm in the middle of work.

Rob

6:13 PM

It seems more a matter of Oak adding their comment into their question (changing and clarifying it) before I would ask for action on the post; and since it's their own comment they know their own business. --- The other is already actioned upon, and doesn't need further action; not dying for my intervention.

-- So I'm leaving this at my observation with the aforementioned disclaimers.

Here's a p!ssed-off editor...meta.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/75102

Is there a limit to how long edit comments can be?

John Dvorak

Wild guess: 500
Educated guess: there is

Ollie

Uh

Not judging by the size of the comment in the link in my previous comment: chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8575095#8575095

Edit comments are [supposed to be] small, like just "Fixed grammar", or "Updated resources" etc. etc., if there is a comment at all. A limit would prevent comments like that.

John Dvorak

The comment is exactly 300 characters long; updating wild guess to that value; increasing confidence in wild guess to 95%

Ollie

And most of those three hundred was a load of &*$%@.

Perhaps a feature-request for a limit?

John Dvorak

There most likely is, otherwise the database would have collapsed by now. It may be reasonable to ask to reduce it, but I'm not confident in it being a beneficial change.

TIL that Stack Exchange won't advertise its blog post to me once, but literally dozens of times most likely. Would they please not?

Ollie

8:58 PM

Are SO notification banners only used for major announcements?

John Dvorak

The last podcast was advertised through it. The highlighter change wasn't.

Ollie

You mean:

Hell that was fast!

Much faster than a few days ago.

John Dvorak

Also, grammar note: talk to - they're the the other side of your conversation; talk with - they are on your side.

Ollie

@JohnDvorak Which comment?

John Dvorak

I'm referring to the adnouncement

Ollie

9:05 PM

Ah.

John Dvorak

Dismissed for the fourth time

Ollie

The banner?

John Dvorak

yes

Ollie

Just X it. It didn't come back for me.

John Dvorak

I X'd it for the fourth time. On four different sites.

Ollie

9:12 PM

Isn't that how the banners are supposed to work?

@JohnDvorak meta.stackexchange.com/a/337288/798831

John Dvorak

If so, it needs to be fixed

DavidPostill

I've just loaded 4 different random sites and I don't see any banner at all :)

John Dvorak

If it catches up in a few minutes, it's ... better than it laying dormant forever.

Ollie

@JohnDvorak Per Adam's answer, it should be gone network-wide. Are you blocking third-party cookies etc.?

John Dvorak

Nope.

Ollie

I am.

And it's still gone...

John Dvorak

Unless Firefox does it by default, that is

Ollie

Aha!

Nope. Didn't even see it.

Oh wait...

Rob

Spevacus

9:59 PM

@Ollie Most anonymous edits with that long of an edit reason are really low quality, yeah. I sometimes heavily explain a particular edit I'm making if it has the potential to modify the meaning of a post, or explaining to a user why I've chosen "Reject and Edit". The edit summary in this case is my justification for such a change. I also try to be pretty descriptive in my tag wiki edits, see this one: meta.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/71749

Side note: I rejected that suggested edit you posted on the grounds of the edit summary being abusive (didn't feed the troll, though, chose the "spam or vandalism" reason) - Those kind of changes should definitely be done on a logged-in account, and should also... y'know... not vent about their suspension.

Ollie

Huh. That user is suspended already...

One of the users I didn't see was suspended.

Spevacus

I went ahead and flagged for their name to be anonymized. We'll see what comes of that.

Feeds

I told her I'd take her address off the packaging if she'd stop submitting anonymous food safety complaints about my bakery to the health department, but she sent me a note that said NO DEAL along with an extra large batch of cookies.

Journeyman Geek

@Spevacus I have no idea if that's reflected in edit history

Ollie

I'll be going now

Ta!

Journeyman Geek

10:12 PM

@Spevacus uh. Bit of a story there

Spevacus

@JourneymanGeek Oh, I meant the author of a particular post that's suspended network-wide. Their username is relatively abusive. The edit Ollie brought up was an anonymous edit suggestion.

Journeyman Geek

But not for here

Spevacus

Yeah, that's fine.

Journeyman Geek

He kinda does have a point about it being nice if employees would pick it up though

Spevacus

Absolutely agree with that.

Actually... a better idea could've been to accept the edit and flag for that edit summary to be cleaned out.

The edit itself seemed fairly acceptable. Surface level observation on that ,though.
