$("thread").append($("Does anyone feel it strange that three people came to complain about suspensions simultaneously?"));

Manishearth

14:03

What does appendTo do?

Yi Jiang's Proble_

@Dharmendra It's usually called an avatar. In this case, SE uses the company Gravatar to display the avatars, so you can also call them gravatars

Dharmendra

I know that, anyways thanks. :)

Manishearth

@yij Ok, I see

Yi Jiang's Proble_

@Manishearth Like append, but reverses the subjects so it's the caller that is appended to the element selected by the selector string passed to appendTo

It's easier to understand than to write about, eh

jadarnel27

@Dharmendra Oh, gotcha. Thanks.

My face finally did get stuck like that. I should have heeded my parents warnings.

Q: Awesome package from Careers 2.0

So, I got home yesterday, and found a mysterious package waiting for me. I opened it up to be greeted by a very fancy Careers 2.0 box, with the phrase "go forth and be awesome" on it. Inside this box was a Stackoverflow branded portfolio. It came with a copy of my Careers 2.0 résumé, a copy of...

I also got a package the other day and I thought it was from Stack Overflow... Then I realized that I had been spending too much time on the site and the logo was just burned into my retina...

Yi Jiang's Proble_

@Timootinator I have immortalized your uneasiness. Take that!

It took me 20 minutes to decide on a word to describe the ":/" emoticon.

@Timootinator Ah. That also explains what's going on in my gravatar.

I was quite drunk when that picture was taken (if you can imagine).

I genuinely don't remember why I decided to make that face though. I think it was the excessively bright flash on the girl's camera, but I'm not sure.

Somebody actually flagged you a while back to complain about the "disturbing" picture. I think they had the impression that you were trying to look menacing or something.

That's so epic.

HA!

Has someone flagged me to complain that my sunglasses are on my nose the wrong way? o.o

Tim jadarnel27

@mmyers That is hilarious. Thank you for sharing =)

I miss my sunglasses.

The last time I saw them I remember wondering about whether to take them with me through the airport or not. I don't actually remember what I decided.

I never realized how big camels were until right now.

So tag wikis require approval to edit below 20k, but the privileges pages don't...

Are edits manually reviewed by staff before they're pushed out from meta, or something?

Tim jadarnel27

@TimSiteisaForum Yes, I'm 98% sure I've read that somewhere.

A: Privilege page updates not being pushed to the rest of the network?

Not strictly a bug, you just need to ping waffles to get updates pushed. I always review the changes prior to pushing this across the network, it is too risky to automate this. I just updated our templates, will be pushed tomorrow.

A: Typo on 'Edit Tag Wikis' Privilege Description Page

I'm working on sorting this out. This is actually caused by 2 things: I have to manually sync the privilege wikis on meta to the local repo on a regular basis, till they are stable. There is a really nasty serialization bug with the persistence of privileges in our cache. This is causing much...

You found a better result than I did.

Tim jadarnel27

@TimSiteisaForum Agreed =) I found the one you found, but I knew I had read an exact explanation, so I kept looking.

A: Where'd our community bulletin board go?

This was an error with a new check added to the code recently. It's been corrected and deployed. The community bulletin is back in its rightful place in the sidebar. (:

Tim jadarnel27

@TimSiteisaForum Nice find! It's still not back on Stack Overflow, but perhaps that has not been deployed yet.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why that white space is there between the menu bar and the background gradient for the next section.

It should butt right up against the menu bar. Blegh.

@Timjadarnel27 Top margin on the Log In header?

Tim jadarnel27

@TimStone I feel sort of foolish right now. Thank you =) It's been a long day.

I just hadn't explicitly set h2 to have margin:0, and so the default 15px margins were showing up.

Tim!
