httphandler (634) tag's wiki states:
ASP.NET Request Processing Introduces ASP.NET handling of HTTP requests...
So this tag is dedicated to ASP.NET ashx handlers.
Also there is ashx (228) covering the same topic.
Please merge or add a synonym. Even having a silver badge in ASP.NET I can't...
User suggests edit to question -> questions is closed, duplicate link added -> incompetent user with edit privileges approves that edit, which did not include the duplicate link.
Incompetent user rolls back and makes the changes the first editor made.
(Or maybe the suggested edits interfere with the dupe link, I guess that also works.)
So this is something I've seen happening a couple times, such as here.
When an edit is suggested before, and approved after the question is closed as a duplicate, the edit will appear to edit out the "Possible...
Not that I'm complaining, but I seem to have been recently awarded +1 rep on stackoverflow question 185575. Weird thing is, it only tells me this in the list of recent reputation changes shown in the info I get when I hover over my user name in the title bar. Weird.
I have no idea what I did to get this reputation, since I never participated in that question
@TimStone Yeah, spent ages composing it and got deleted before I refreshed the page. Was expecting it to be a bit controversial, but wasn't expected an instant delete. Should have stored a draft somewhere...
@TimStone And now I want to post it to programmers, but I can't face the prospect of starting from scratch.
Hello Unreliable @DanielFischer! While you're looking at deleted stuff, would you mind looking at this answer? I'm wondering if it was self-deleted, or deleted by casperOne.
@YiJiangsProble_ Ah, I can't believe I missed that. I was too distracted by the fact that my comment on that answer was moved to the question. But I guess it was following that answer =)
People say "Man, I'm really batting 1000 today" ironically when they keep getting stuff wrong. I like to say "batting 100" because it's even more ironic =)
(because then I have gotten the figure of speech wrong, batting 100 actually is bad)
@DanielFischer Sleep would be a good idea. I haven't drank anything in over a year, so that would probably be a bad idea =P
I found this math "problem" on the internet, and I'm wondering if it has an answer:
Question: If you choose an answer to this question at random, what is the probability that you will be correct?
a. 25%
b. 50%
c. 0%
d. 25%
Does this question have a correct answer?
Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two theorems of mathematical logic that establish inherent limitations of all but the most trivial axiomatic systems capable of doing arithmetic. The theorems, proven by Kurt Gödel in 1931, are important both in mathematical logic and in the philosophy of mathematics. The two results are widely, but not universally, interpreted as showing that Hilbert's program to find a complete and consistent set of axioms for all mathematics is impossible, giving a negative answer to Hilbert's second problem.
The first incompleteness theorem states that no consistent...
If I have two aggregate columns in my query, and I want a third column that's just a total of those two, is the only way to accomplish that repeating the previous two expressions and summing them in the third column?
I guess I shouldn't really be using SQL for that kind of stuff. That's more for the presentation layer.
Well. Depends on the context, I'd say. Core Data, the persistence framework on iOS, supports aggregation. So aggregation clearly can be considered part of the data layer.
It calculates once

@jadarnel27 I have it open in one tab continually. So sometimes I see a (5) there, but most of the time it doesn't real-time update. No idea what may cause it.
I'm glad someone appreciated that moment of levity.
I never did write that essay on the psychology of Stack Overflow. I guess it's on the list of things that would be nice to do but have such a low priority that it's unlikely they'll ever get done.
Actually, the main psychological phenomenon underlying Stack Overflow (and numerous other sites with similar reputation/karma/badge/reward systems) is something that's been discussed on meta before: Intermittent Variable Reward. Although I think the "correct" term (or at least the one more commo...
