@timS - great job with the digest BTW... When the event was happening it was simply impossible to keep track of all the questions and answers being flung around... Had to just put my head down and answer one by one :P
Suppose you're a candidate in a moderator election and you could not attend the town hall chat nor post in the chat room until after the digest has been posted. What is the proper procedure to answer the questions? Is it ok to edit the chat transcripts to add your answers (in which case the THC d...
search is now a valid type under HTML5. name is of course for the server. id is to connect with the label using the for. user-search class is because there are now more than one place where I need to have an input element to search for users, so the JavaScript autocomplete code need something to select
So if I understand this article about how Google handles leap seconds correctly, within the w seconds the server is 'lying', each second is stretched such that in the end the cumulative difference between real time and server time is the one leap second
According to one of the questions already asked on EL&U, “E = mc²” is read as:
E equals M C squared
So my question is how to read “E = (mc)²” so that it's not mistaken for “E = mc²”.
@TimStone Isn't German the language that has a word for everything? Maybe each post random makes is just his attempt at a translation from one obscure German word.
Can't blame you for not wanting to visit it if all you see are the default subreddits
Protip: If you decide you want to visit the site, you'd probably want to create an account and unsubscribe from the some of the really bad defaults like r/politics, r/atheism and r/gaming
People talk about it like it's a mix of nerd jokes, unsupported opinions from Internet blowhards and links of varying quality. That's just... not interesting to me.
Yeah, technically speaking class names should be semantic (ie. they describe the content) instead of describing the style, which is what the CSS itself is meant for.
If you do the latter you're just repeating yourself without adding meaning to your markup
@ErnestFriedmanHill Having some of my oldest answers deleted was what originally led me to discover Meta Stack Overflow, and from it the podcast. Though I'd been on the site for a long-time, I always thought that moderators's decisions seemed fairly arbitrary. These deletions were responsible for me eventually becoming an enthusiastic user who appreciates the reasoning behind (most) community policies.
Hear that folks? Not only does deletion fix broken windows and keep the floors spotless, it also creates engaged, informed meta-users!
@TimStone My primary role would be to undelete posts, as that would be the reason for my election. I would search undeleted posts on my own and I would also respond to requests for undeletion from users. I would generally avoid proactively casting cast binding close votes unless the situation was extremely unambiguous or I thought the post would receive too little traffic for community moderation to be effective.
Welp. That's it, does anybody want to do the honors before I do? Because I really can't see a moderator that does nothing but go through and un-delete stuff all day long as his primary duty
@mootinator He actually stands a good chance of winning, you know. Not to un-nominate him, but to pre-empt the shitstorm that will occur if he does win
@TimYiJiang I'm not so sure. I suppose it's a fair question - even though I support undeleting stuff (as long as the archive isn't forthcoming),becoming a mod is not the way to implement your views.

As long as you add "/1228" to the end of these links, its perfectly acceptable.
