For those out there better skilled with the Data explorer and other tools, I have a question: What is the highest single-day rep gain by any user?
 
@cdeszaq Theoretical, or actual?
 
This user, who posted this question, makes me ask, since he gained 990 rep yesterday!
@YiJiangsProble_ Actual. Theoretical would be something like (maxBountyAmount+acceptedAnswerAmount)*dailyAnswerLimit+dailyRepFromVotesLimit
 
If you look at my rep chart on MSO, you'll see two very high bars sometime in Jan '11 where Pekka basically transferred 1k rep to me through bounties
 
@YiJiangsProble_ yeah, it looks like you got in the 500-600 range (roughly) on 2 different days.
Theoretically, one could get about... 515*10+200=5350 (with a conservative guess at the answerPerDay limit, and assuming there were that many 500-point bounties all awarded to you on that day.

Q: When reviewing suggested edit, an overlay covers over the page

NealFor this question: Is it true that your heart skips a beat when you sneeze? I see there is a suggested edit: But then The page has an overlay which I cannot get through and I have no choice but to refresh the page! (or pressing escape which both removes the overlay and the dialog)

:-(
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA I don't believe that happens on the Skeptics site. You're going to have to prove it to me.
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA I seem to remember this coming up on MSO in the past as well. It may have been a slightly different manifestation, but same general issue.
@David I don't believe that you don't believe...
 
Did you try hitting esc?
 
@YiJiangsProble_ I did hit escape. read the post!
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Pshh. Reading is for chumps ;-)
 
2:02 PM
@cdeszaq LOL
 
2:20 PM
Oh hey, four stars! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Lix
@pop - if you want me to say it... i'm not gonna :P
 
I actually have no idea what you're implying.
I withheld the YEAH yesterday because of the lackluster response to the joke.
 
Lix
that you are very popular (* face palm *)
 
Oh. Well that's not CSI-related at all.
 
Lix
no... not that much...
 
2:32 PM
@PopularDemand I get it. It's like the theme song. HA!
 
Hey @amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA, try to reproduce it again.

Q: Is it true that your heart skips a beat when you sneeze?

NealIn this answer to the question Does your heart stop beating when you sneeze? it is stated that your heart can skip a beat when you sneeze? Is that even possible?

 
@minitech yep, thanks, still the same issue.
 
Lix
I'm still waiting to catch someone who is about to sneeze and shout "PIKA PIKA!" just before :P
 
Lix
@ama - I saw that somewhere on ****book... can't find it now - but there were some great ones there :P
Walk in to a crowded elevator and say - "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today..."
Stand on a corner wearing a t-shirt that says "LIFE" and hand out lemons to people...
 
2:43 PM
@Lix Go into an elevator and do not turn around to look at the floor numbers and door - just walk straight in and continue to face the back wall. That earns you some seriously weird looks.
 
Lix
@jad - lol :P
Run into a store and ask "What year is it?" - when you get a reply yell "IT WORKED!!!" and run out cheering :P
Get 4 pigs - spray paint a number on each one - 1, 2, 3, 5. Then release them in a mall and watch the security personal search like crazy for number 4 :P
now THAT is just mean :P

@Lix Mooo hahahaha

4:42 PM
Is anybody here?

possibly...
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Peekaboo
only those of us with nothing better to do ;-)
 
Lix
@cde - speak for yourself! ;)
 
And technically, your query should have been "is anybody else here?" #justsayin
 
Lix
4:45 PM
hehe
 
status-justsayin
 
@jadarnel27 That's what I was after! (reached for the first thing I could think of, since I had to get it out within the 10sec edit window)
 
@cdeszaq Haha, twas still a good one =) Also, those [status-junkandstuff] things only work in a message by themselves, I believe.
 
status-testing123
yup
Which I think is actually a bug... but whatever
 
@cdeszaq By design. It's an Easter Egg that existed before support for "regular" tags was added.
 
4:58 PM
ahh, good to know.
 
Lix
two votes shy of the edit privilege! Help a msopedian out! ;)

A: The Stack Exchange voting system is not fair!

LixOk I will attempt to contribute my $0.02 to your dilemma. I was using experts-exchange.com Glad it's in the past ;) I saw stackoverflow I liked its idea Now you are in the right direction! ...allows the users to vote on a question which has not yet been resolved. This is actua...

 
@Lix I like you. You're a lot of fun.
 
Lix
@jad - I like you too... You're sexy.
lol - thanks guys :) I know I can always count on you <3
 
no prob bob
 
5:08 PM
@Lix I don't feel uncomfortable about that at all.
 
Lix
@jad - glad to hear you are becoming accustomed to my humor :P
 
Hahaha

@jadarnel27 Ouch.... Harsh indeed... @amanaP is right up there ;) I wonder who #2 is...
 
@Lix I think that's Community
Epic answer to a meh question:

A: Using Regex to search for a string that contains "http://" and does not contain "mysite.com"

tchristWARNING Attempting to rope regexes into boolean logic best accomplished in a proper programming language is a thankless job. While it is possible to write /PAT1/ and not /PAT2/ using complex lookaheads so that it is just one pattern, it is a painful task. You don’t to do it this way! You shoul...

 
@Lix That user doesn't even have a user id!!!
 
Lix
5:19 PM
@cde if it is Community their user ID is -1 :P
 
Lix
@cde - ahh - I see what you mean...
 
I think that's for spam / deleted posts, Community "owns" those downvotes. But I guess the user ID doesn't show up in the Data Explorer for some reason. Hm.
 
@jadarnel27 Yeah, i wonder if it might be a bug? Perhaps @TimStone might know?
 
Lix
Right... back to work... I'm sure i'll see you guyz around soon! CYA!
 
5:22 PM
pokes @TimStone for his insight on this, and to harass him incessantly about the Data Explorer
 
Lix
He also seems to like the chat sandbox :P @TimS is always in there! :P

As in this sentence: "A word to the wise, @TimStone doesn't like it when you ping him for no reason."
;-)
 
@jadarnel27 Heh, at least we have a reason
 
5:25 PM
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA I think there was a similar problem with the flagging menu, not sure if it was ever resolved. I'll see if I can repro it in a bit.
 
Lix
@jad - Gee - that could have been useful a few seconds ago :P Sorry @ Tim ;)
 
@jadarnel27 Community doesn't own the posts
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Nope, sorry. But then again, I haven't gone through many suggested edits recently
 
@TimStone Ah, just the votes.
 
(and the query is asking for the post owner's ID)
 
5:26 PM
@TimStone Hmmmm kk
 
My mistake =) think before you speak, Josh!
 
So, any idea where that empty (or possibly null) value is coming from in that query? I mean, someone has to own the posts, right?
 
Deleted users
 
@TimStone As a group, then, I assume, since they don't seem to have an ID anymore?
 
You could probably compensate for that by looking at the denormalized name for the post.
 
5:28 PM
Cool, thanks. (Sorry to bug you, was just curious to know why it looked strange)
 
No trouble, I was just eating lunch :P
So not doing anything particularly important.
@PopularDemand Ire's answer was automatically converted because he only had one additional line of text. David's has one before and after the in-network link, which is (apparently) sufficient for the algorithm not to classify it as such.
 
@TimStone Originally mine was auto-converted as well. I re-answered with the additional post-link text and that seems to have gotten past the conversion mechanism.
 
@David Tricky bugger!
 
Ah ha, well, I was almost correct then. :P
 
@TimStone Ah, very nice. I wasn't aware of that feature.
 
5:38 PM
@cdeszaq It's part of my standard response to almost everything. "What's that? I wonder if I can break it..."
 
@PopularDemand Oh, you must have missed this gem, then.
 
@cdeszaq Try the lever from a different side; Try the lever from far away with some kind of lever-pulling extension; etc.
 
@David And in all cases... ZAP!
 
@cdeszaq Clearly after the first try I would want to employ the Dr. Megavolt suit during further tests.
 
5:45 PM
@David That's fantastic!
 
@cdeszaq It's a hell of a live show. The year that I went to BurningMan it was the largest of the "someone brought a giant tesla coil to BurningMan, apparently" shows. There were others :)
 
I've done similar things with chain maille (while anodizing other chain maille, in fact). In my case, the spark wasn't intended, but thankfully I at least anticipated it.
 
@cdeszaq The coolest part was when he'd run a steady current through the suit, pick up a piece of wood, and draw on it (scorch it) with his finger.
 
@David sweet
 
Hmmmm, I seem to have gotten +2 reputation for a tag wiki edit that was rejected. Should I report this? The system still owes me +2 more from previous tag wiki edits that it did not grant me reputation for. o.o
Oh nevermind. That's weird how the excerpt would get approved and not the wiki itself...
 
6:24 PM
My dog thinks she's a genius.
 
@mootinator Please elaborate.
 
I'm going to wait until he goes inside to start sniffing around for somewhere to get under the fence.
 
@jadarnel27 That was quite distressing. So I modified it to show most downvotes per post. That made me feel better.
 
@mootinator Lesser animals can't conceive of higher intelligences, so they often regard themselves as being intelligent. Case in point:
 
It would seem that a lot of people have come to MSO, posted one unpopular thing and gotten run out of town so viciously that they never dared to return.
 
6:37 PM
@PopularDemand Ah, I see that. Not nearly as entertaining =) Why did it distress you? I didn't see you in the top 25 haha
 
I expanded it to the top 50 so that I would be distressed.
 
HUMMMMMMMMMMMM
 
Haha, well done. Self-inflicted distress.
 
6:59 PM
Someone sent me the word "BUILDED" in the game Hanging With Friends (similar to Words With Friends, but with hangman). Builded is not a word.
And I will never subscribe to a worldview where builded is a word.
 
You will be happy to hear that WWF prevented me from playing ODDLIEST yesterday. I knew it wasn't really a word, but as you say, that doesn't always mean it's invalid, and it would've been worth so many points!
 
LOL. Yes, that does make me happy. Not that I haven't sent some questionable words.
 
dictionary.com (dunno if you consider that to be an authoritative resource) says builded is "archaic."
 
"Builded" just bugged me more than most.
 
Do you play WWF, or only HWF?
 
7:03 PM
@PopularDemand I actually read that after I got the word wrong. I think that's a poor excuse to allow the word =P
 
That's so ageist. 985-year-olds are people too!
 
@PopularDemand Just Hanging so far. I just realized that I do have WWF installed haha. Just never played it.
 
@PopularDemand You and Tim both play, right?
 
Tim has been MIA recently... he even commented on that here in The Tavern a day or two ago I think.
 
7:11 PM
Wuttamaroon.
 
@David wow...just...wow
@SantaFosco That user has more gems of similar quality.
 
@cdeszaq wow.... thanks for that.
 
@SantaFosco Yeah, I almost always check through a user's profile if I see stuff like that. It's usually a "tip of the iceberg" sort of thing.
 
7:27 PM
Hi
Anyone know the proper way to solve for X in:
 
0 < |x| ≤ 14
I know that x can be any number from 1 through 14, but how to do that algebraically?
 
|x| is ABS(x) meaning X could be any number between -14 and 14
 
excluding 0
 
^ what he said.
 
7:32 PM
I'm crazy.
 
You's cray cray
 
=)
I want my smiley faces to turn sideways (like in GMail chat).
 
Nooooo if I was pinged I should be able to read the message whether it was removed or not xP
 
There isn't really any "solving" needed. As far as I can tell, it'a already reduced about as far as it can go
 
Noooooooo, don't star that! I was just joking =)
 
7:34 PM
@jadarnel27 But I wasn't :) I would love to see a bit more emoticon-lovin.
 
@Moshe I think it might be clearer if you write it as 2 expressions.
 
even if just as a user script
 
stackoverflow.com/suggested-edits/228702 <-- Just to point out, only 853 out of the 2,257 questions tagged with [float] are even related to CSS. So why is [float] determined to be a CSS tag? This makes no sense!
 
@cdeszaq Keep your weird fetishes to yourself.
 
@jadarnel27 But that's about all that can be done... I mean, the notation for absolute value is pretty much standard (I hope)
 
7:36 PM
Yes, I agree =) I just think it makes more logical sense. When you have an absolute value in those chained inequalities, it's a bit hard to conceptualize what it means.
 
I think you've just uncovered balpha's 1 Apr 2012 plan: emoticorns in chat.
 
@jadarnel27 Good point, especially for more complex ones.
 
@PopularDemand I thought that was a typo at first. Then I realized you had just created the greatest word ever.
 
@PopularDemand As long as it's turned into a user script afterwords, i'm all for it
 
I was wondering if anyone's brain would see that without inappropriately autocorrecting it.
 
7:38 PM
@PopularDemand: Only those who have a true love for unicorns. Go away fakers!
 
@PopularDemand My brain corrected it 3 different ways simultaneously the first time I read it
 
e·mo·ti·corn [ih-moh-ti-kawrn]: noun a type of emoticon displaying human expressions on faces of unicorns for enhanced awesomeness Origin: a portmanteau of "emoticon" and "unicorn"

There, it's all official now.
 
7:54 PM
How do I find all of my own unanswered questions, so I can skim through them and assign answers?
 
@RobertDailey Or, "user:me hasaccepted:0"
if that's what you mean.
 
You're right @jadarnel27, can't assign acceptances to zero-answer questions.
 
@RobertDailey: stackoverflow.com/… :)
 
@RobertDailey Or, you can brute-force it and simply look through your list of questions you've asked and look for ones without an accepted answer.
 
@RobertDailey Come to think of it, that means what you really want is user:me hasaccepted:0 answers:1; that'll weed out the questions that have zero answers.
 
8:01 PM
@PopularDemand: I already covered that in my link, jeez.
 
@RobertDailey For an interesting list of advanced super ninja search options, see stackoverflow.com/search
 
@animuson Maybe you shouldn't post new messages while I'm off doing other things. You ever think about that, huh, you inconsiderate jerk?
 
Seriously, I just noticed that that page actually says "Advanced Super Ninja Search Options". How cool is that?
 
@PopularDemand Sorry, cyborgs don't care about feelings.
 
8:06 PM
He probably thinks we're all crazy now.
 
Well, we are. Except you, but you're programmed to simulate human craziness, so tomayto tomahto.
 
@animuson Well, he'd be correct.
 
@PopularDemand It's funny, because he probably won't understand your "tomayto tomahto" reference.
Parser error: unknown word "tomayto"; Parser error: unknown word "tomahto"; exit(returnToReviewPanel());
 
Is there a simple way to retag all questions which match [css][float] to [css][css-floating]?
 
@animuson Put it on MSO and/or ask a mod
 
8:10 PM
@cdeszaq Fixed =)
That's also probably more accurate.
 
@PopularDemand meh. You tried
 
What a rude person.
Haha, I've never noticed the revision history link for chat messages.
 
@jadarnel27 Yup, it's there... for all to see... FOREVER

Q: We need to get rid of the [float] tag!

animusonCurrently, the float tag is used as a CSS tag representing the float property for floating elements to the left or right. There are currently 2,257 questions tagged with it. However, only 853 of these questions are tagged with css, leaving 1,404 questions tagged otherwise. My question: how does...

 
@jadarnel27 Are you one of those people that would say that to any XKCD I posted?
 
8:22 PM
@Chacha102 Haha, not... exactly.
 
@Chacha102 I am. Well, most of them anyways.
 
I really like that one. And the "I've invented calculus" one.
 
They need a Justin Bieber related XKCD
 
Do you Rachel, take this woman... Oh, hold on, this card says it's Justin Bieber.
 
8:24 PM
Aha, I just figured out where Jeff Atwood has gone now that he's left StackExchange! I just got an e-mail from Starbucks about my new gold card:

Hey is there a way to see how many deleted questions I have with the data explorer?
 
I'm fairly certain you cannot, @amanaP. Like, 99%.
 
@jadarnel27 What about the other 1% ?
 
I...uh...what?
 
I want a Data Explorer entry that spits out how many of your edits have been reverted :) go find
 
I probably spend far too much money at Starbucks.
 
@jadarnel27 Yes, that's what the gold card means (welcome to the club).
 
I've never spent a penny at Starbucks
 
8:41 PM
@cdeszaq That's what I was afraid of.
 
@jadarnel27 Your best bet to escape the cash-suck is to learn to drink "normal" black coffee (if you don't already) and then buy a coffee pot. Saves me tons of cold, hard, cash. (but mostly the soft, warm, papery kind)
 
I like how they say "You get a free drink with every 15 purchases". Sounds a lot better than "You get a "free" drink after every $75 you spend here."
@cdeszaq Indeed. I started doing that in the mornings. I haven't broken the habit of buying a triple venti latte after lunch every day though =/
 
@jadarnel27 If it's the caffeine you're after, you can get them to add extra shots to a normal coffee. It will probably knock you for a loop if you go with a triple venti dark-roast, but it should do the trick.
At least it's a bit cheaper
 
@cdeszaq 'Tis the caffeine boost, but I also just love the flavors =). /has a drinking problem.
 
"I don't have a cellphone or a pager. I simply hang out with everyone I know always. When someone needs to get a hold of me, they just say 'Tyer', and I say 'What?' and turn my head slightly...."

random phrase of the day:
BANANA NUT PANCAKES!
 
@Chacha102 Is that from something? I just genuinely laughed out loud.
 
powdered sugar mini donuts &mdash; mmmmmm
Awww it doesn't work :(

Q: Add chat oneboxing support for comment links

XeoSince we have direct links to comments now, IMHO it would only be fair for comment links in the chat to be treated on the same level as question and answer links. (This question feels kinda empty, and I don't even have a pony picture handy to pad it...)
