Not sure why we didn't have such a room on chat.SO already.
Clearly that is where most users are.

Maybe we had and I just forgot. :P

It's been rolled-back, but ... people need to not approve those.

Q: A query to get all posts that count for Archaeologist and Excavator

gideonI've been playing with data-explorer to peruse stackoverflow more and learn some t-sql. I managed to write this query, which lists out all posts the user has edited and then shows a difference in Creation vs Activity date and Creation vs LastEdit date. I then realized there is a more accurate w...

 
@gideon Shame - lessly? Nope, not looking ;-) I will need to see some shame before I click that link.
 
Hi people, what is "happy hour" on chat.meta?
 
not sure what you mean by "happy hour" but activity can be seen if you click room...
 
It's an hour in which we can be happy.
 
@jadarnel27 shame I think was just oneboxing the question here pestering you nice people :)
 
3:37 PM
We sprinkle joy and rainbows and love and unicorn barf
Then after the hour is over we revert back to our stoney greyscale Meta faces
 
@YiJiangsProble when next one?
 
@YiJiangsProble_ That's a little redundant, isn't it?
 
@jadarnel27 Brought to you by the Redundant Department of Redundancy
@moguzalp 2 days, or somewhen there about
 
@YiJiangsProble Are there similar events like "happy hour"?
 
Not on MSO chat
 
3:43 PM
so happy hour at every friday? as it is in companies
 
@YiJiangsProble_ I see what you did there.
=)
 
@moguzalp Wow, company-sponsored happy hour? Where do you work?
 
4:45 PM
What's up with the suspension notice on this profile? It reads...oddly.
 
Automated network suspension for 2! For the price of one! (some restrictions apply, see @RebeccaChernoff for details)
 
"Automated network suspension for 2!" - I would decline to go on that date.
 
Really, just because of that? Not because the photo is an old, apparently depressed man?
I'd star your first message for pointing out the unusual message, but I would feel bad for calling attention to a user's binning.
 
@PopularDemand Different strokes for different folks.
(I felt weird for even jokingly typing that)
@PopularDemand It's the star-thought that counts.
I was hoping one of programmer-types would see that =P I figured it didn't really warrant a post on meta about whether the wording is a bug.
Although, I suppose we don't have to fear the wrath of Jeff's giant "S" anymore. Did someone inherit that?
 
Yes. Bludgeoning to death is now @Shog9's job
 
5:00 PM
Dare I ask what his tool of choice is? I do not need or want an in-person demonstration.
 
 
o.O Did you get that from a museum?
Ooh, do you have any 8" floppy disks? I've been jonesing to play "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego".
 
@jadarnel27 That's not actually mine - that image is from Wikipedia and is a 1989 model; mine's from 1987 (I've had it since about '92). I need to replace it though, since I no longer have 5pin DIN keyboard connectors on... anything. Or even PS/2 ports.
@jadarnel27 Heh... No, I do have a 5.25" drive around here somewhere though
 
@Shog9 Aw, your keyboard and I were born the same year.
 
Now I feel old and creepy.
 
Lix
5:07 PM
That makes one of you really old... ;)
 
lol. Ok, I am stopping with the old jokes now.
 
Two edits and you still haven't fixed all the errors!
There. Man, kids these days...
GIT ORF MAH LAWN!!!

@shog - MSO is your "LAWN" now? ;)
 
dern tootin'

The grass is much greener over here - I must say!
 
5:09 PM
(Yes, I have a cesspool for a lawn. Big woop, wanna fight about it?)
 
Lix
Hey! I love it here :P no cesspool at all ;)
and NOOOOOOOO - do NOT want to fight with you about anything...thanks ;)
 
Greywater makes the grass grow green
 
Lix
... you put me in a difficult position ...
 
@PopularDemand In different software companies around Istanbul, but not every friday :) some fridays, you know beer & cookies
 
@Shog9 Ah, I dug out an old five-pin keyboard a few months ago. Even asked an SU question about it. Good times. (It was actually disappointing, though; I thought I had a Model M.)
@moguzalp Wow. I only know of one US company that does anything like that.
 
5:16 PM
@PopularDemand happy hour is very nice at office but not to much beer, otherwise trouble after days :)
 
@PopularDemand this is the one I want SE to buy me. Same plant that made the Model-M in Kentucky (Formerly Lexmark, formerly IBM)
 
Is that happen at MSO happy hour, every SO guy drink? :)
 
@moguzalp Of course. Except for the communists.
 
@Shog9 so they drink vodka? it is drink as well :)
 
@moguzalp Yeah, but they don't wait for happy hour ;-)
 
@Shog9 :) That would not be bad idea, while happy hour, each MSO guy have video cam but the size of their avatars :) you know hundred of them
including communists :)
 
 
1 hour later…
6:36 PM
@Shog9 Haha, thank you. What was my third error? I did not notice another one.
 
@Shog9 I had no idea that route existed. Neat.
 
Can I legally use StackExchange as name of my class for API wrapper I'm writing ?
 
@Martin Well, that really depends on what you plan to do with that API wrapper. See: stackexchange.com/legal/trademark-guidance
 
@Shog9 Hmm, I think that I can't. I plan to release it as OpenSource on StackApps. StackExchange PHP SDK
 
6:48 PM
@Martin read the guidelines. The rule of thumb is, don't do anything that would potentially confuse folks into thinking you are Stack Exchange.
 
@Shog9 What if I would use "StackAPI PHP SDK" ? I think that looks fine, doesn't it? That's marked green, so I think I can. Well, thanks for your fast answer
 
@Martin yeah that doesn't sound confusing to me.
 
I don't understand why this question has attracted such low-quality answers. It wasn't perfectly formed when it was first posted, but I don't see how the actual question was so misinterpreted.
 
@jadarnel27 Odd. It definitely deserved a better answer, and is a bit of an interesting question. Hopefully I've helped...
 
@David Upvoted, and that seems like it. I was just ranting, I didn't expect someone in here to go and answer the question =)
I certainly didn't know what was going on with the double-request thing.
 
7:04 PM
@jadarnel27 You were right, though. It was getting terrible answers for no reason, the question was very clear.
Besides, I need a break from glossing over 250 pages of vague and unhelpful use cases today.
 
@David Yeah, I thought that was odd, glad I'm not alone on that.
@David That's sounds...um...awesome?
Yeah, I bet it's totally awesome.
 
evening gentlemen
 
Hey there, @systempuntoout.
 
@jadarnel27 Well, this project has the potential for awesome. I just need to put up with some nonsense first.
 
Ah yes, the nonsense. That trash is garbage.
 
7:11 PM
I'm browsing the stackoverflow unofficial deleted questions repository stackoverflow.hewgill.com
great effort over there by Greg
still, no boat question
 
@systempuntoout That is really cool! Thanks for sharing.
 
@PopularDemand oh very nice thanks

I am doubtful that there are enough constructive topics for a Marijuana.SE.
 
"New iPad"? It will be quite easy to sell. "I'm selling New iPad for quite a low price" ...
 
7:50 PM
Sound the alarms! This is serious =)
 
@JeremyBanks What are the chances the proposer of that smokes weed every day? I can only see that site turning into an outpost for illegal drug activity.
 
@amanaP Really? That's not all that helpful.
@animuson What are the chances? They are...(wait for it)...*high*.
 
@jadarnel27: I should start a Justin Bieber proposal...
 
@animuson Please do that.
 
Hullo

Howdy @Moshe.
 
So tempted to preorder.
 
8:22 PM
w00t i am back ^_^
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Welcome back
Rested and refreshed?
 
@Shog9 Here and there
meta has gone a bit nuts, no?
 
It's mostly calmed down. Was pretty nuts over the weekend and early week.
 
I can haz new iPad?
 
@Shog9 What was the issue? what it it the auto calc thing?
@Moshe I HATE THAT NAME!
 
8:23 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Know what my purim costume is?
 
@Moshe what?
an iPad 4?
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Lol, close, but not quite.
 
then what? lol
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA That and a bunch of other stuff. There are like two blog posts about it now :-P
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA apple.com/support
 
8:24 PM
@Shog9 oy...
@Moshe ?
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA That's your clue.
 
@Moshe thats not helpful at all
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA you was suspended?
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Look for the people on that page.
 
@Moshe You're going to be an Apple Geniusâ„¢?
 
8:32 PM
@Martin I was.
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA when? why?
 
@Martin ask @Shog9
 
Anonymous
I don't think he's allowed to say.
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA He's not supposed to tell it to me
 
@jadarnel27 Yuppers.
 
8:34 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA If you want to talk about it, you can. You don't have to.
 
@jadarnel27 I bought a blue tee and a pair of jeans.
 
@JeremyBanks I could if I needed to, but I'm not going to gossip just for the heck of it.

@Shog9 Good. Gossip sucks.
 
@Shog9 ur in meta chat. gossip is what we do ^_^
@Moshe :-P
 
8:35 PM
I'm serious.
 
Why so serious?
 
@Moshe That's a very affordable, and practical, costume =)
 
No, that's pretty poisonous. Amana isn't suspended now, he's been welcomed back, and there's no reason to discuss the past unless the problem comes up again - at which point, it'll be me & him in private.
 
@Shog9 sounds good to me
 
@jadarnel27 Yup. I'm deciding how to get an Apple on the shirt?
 
8:39 PM
:|
 
@Moshe I would start by liquifying the apple. That way it will soak into the shirt and not fall off.
 
@Shog9 Is it bad to ask?
 
@Martin Ask once. Then let it drop.
 
@Shog9 He said "eh" so I described it a bit more
 
@jadarnel27 What Apple? A piece of paper? A sticker?
 
8:44 PM
@Moshe I mean a real apple. Or, preferably, apple sauce. It's tough to get a whole apple to stay on the shirt.
 
@Martin nahh im good ^_^
 
@jadarnel27 :P
 
@Shog9 thank you
 
@jadarnel27 If I have two Apples and then I get one more, how many do I have?
Speaking of Apples and my counting skills. ;-)
 
8:45 PM
@Moshe lol, indeed.
 
Almost time to go home for megillah! yay I get to eat :-D
odd:
 
@Moshe I'm terrible at riddles.

Q: Suggested Edit's reason saved instead of mine

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM AThere was a suggested edit on this answer I clicked on improve and I unclicked the checkbox that stated whether the suggested edit was helpful. I added my own edit reason. But the suggested edit's edit reason stuck: Why on earth did that happen?

@amanaP I added the suggested edit link =)
(to your question on meta)
 
@jadarnel27 ahhh thank you. How did u find that?
 
9:00 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Haha, I just hacked the URLs actually. http://scifi.stackexchange.com/suggested-edits/11XX until I found the most recent (which is not tough, because that site doesn't get too many suggested edits)
There might be a better way, but I don't know it.
 
@jadarnel27 lol maybe
cool
 
Does anyone else think it's strange that the number of helpful flags on your profile counts comment flags, but your flag summary (to which you get by clicking on the number) does not? So you can have a non-zero number of helpful flag, but an empty flag summary.

Q: Checking if your comment flags have been acted upon yet?

animusonEven though comment flags don't count towards your flag weight, I think it would be nice to add them into your flagging history so we can still see if they were acted upon or not. Could the flagging history be made into a dual-tab page, where by default it shows all of your flagging history, then...

Mind you, I posted that before comment flags started being tracked, but still the same idea of showing your comments flags in your history.

@PekkasReputationBordello I just screenshotted your profile for bug report submission purposes, and noticed that you have exactly 40,000 rep. Congrats!
 
@PopularDemand: I thought you'd like to know I haven't reviewed any posts in 4 days.
 
@animuson Hello, cyborg friend. FYI, when you review so many posts that your internal counter reads NaN (or rolls up past MAX_INT and through all the negative numbers back to zero), it's not really the same as not reviewing any posts.

11:46 PM
@PopularDemand thanks! However, I did approach the line from the other side by starting three bounties. :) This was the most rep I've ever had on Meta, though.
What kind of bug report? I'm curious.
 
Dang, I was hoping nobody would ask that. I got halfway through writing it and realized that I had made a mistake and there was no bug.
 
Is it because the "Night club" sign in my profile is not animated?
I looked for an animated one, I really did.
But they're hard to find.
 
Hm... would that be too localized? At 40k, you're kind of a Big Deal, maybe I could ask that.
You could join Jon and waffles in the "I have my own tag on Meta" club.
 
@PopularDemand The ultimate achievement on Meta: The vanity tag. Sounds good!
 
@PopularDemand 'fess up: it was yet another duplicate of "Why can't I flag profiles?", wasn't it!
 
11:50 PM
I gave up on flagging as "user is Shog9" after you became a mod.
