[ SmokeDetector ] Blacklisted user: Dog who has escaped an animal shelter - name? by user103567 on english.stackexchange.com
 
okay, that must be a bug
I'll try something that might work here.
When we fetch an ID from somewhere, we usually convert it to a string, but at some locations, we do not. This might cause a problem where, for example, 1 != "1".

argh
 
I'm tempted to post a comment like "Please stop editing, you're flooding the Tavern" to the author of the answer being edited every couple of minutes :D
 
2:09 PM
meh -- we need something to test
 
now we need one more edit on an answer there to test :/
By the way, I also found out why the no-reposter didn't work for answers -- the title we register to the no-reposter is different than the title we post. And an alert still gets re-posted if the title changed, so...
 
@ShadowWizard nice, I hope it gets approved
 
Yay! Only 6 more before Coffee starts private beta! :D
 
2:20 PM
!!/rev?
 
good
 
Hmmm, firefox is already running ... it is probably updating to the next version but for the last 30 minutes it is only consuming CPU without any feedback...
Unless you consider the fan in my pc running at a higher speed as feedback
 
Second time in a short while that Firefox is put in a bad light - is this a conspiracy of some sort, @rene @Pro? :P
@rene just End Process, worst case you'll have to reinstall FF, but most likely your settings will be kept
 
@ShadowWizard :P
 
2:32 PM
On your responsibility
 
yeah, ending process seems the best here
 
by the way @balpha will we have post mortem for the morning downtime?
 
[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in title: Who can tell me from which porn film is this scene from? by Alex on movies.stackexchange.com
 
@ShadowWizard yes
We are investigating why egress traffic was being dropped and will have a postmortem up once we get more information on the upstream issues.
 
wow
@SmokeDetector tp
 
2:33 PM
@SmokeDetector NSFW image
 
we post-mortem all major outages now
 
highly NSFW don't click guys if you're under 18
 
@ShadowWizard too late
 
yeah
flagged as offensive anyway
@balpha cool, thanks!
 
@SmokeDetector eeek. Deleted, and user contacted.
 
2:39 PM
@Oded Thanks!
 
@ShadowWizard It was okay for girls?
 
heh
 
@Oded think it's eeeeeek based on, you know :D
 
Naw, wasn't that long.
 
lol
@rene sure! :D

heh
VLQ flag spent
@Oded just noticed what you said... so you think the user actually thought it's legit to ask such a question and post such a screenshot??
 
@ShadowWizard the help center doesn't explicitly say anything about porn... perhaps it should.
Just giving someone the benefit of the doubt.
 
@Oded hmm... well, it's a site about movies and porn movies are still movies so yeah, better add something in there just to be safe.
status-completed

A: Why is the Japanese Stack Overflow site classified as "uncategorized"?

Nick CraverThis is fixed, and it will appropriately appear under "Technology" but it will take a bit of time for the stackexchange.com cache to drop and refresh the current site list.

...
 
@ShadowWizard Maybe the cache is cached too? :P
 
@hichris123 yeah, 6-8 years until cache refresh. Won't be surprised if it's true!
status-check-again-in-2022
 
3:28 PM
@ShadowWizard @hichris123 @JanDvorak I think it should now be completely ignored. This report is the first one after using strings for IDs everywhere, so previous ignores wouldn't suddenly work.
 
hmm, ok.
 
@ProgramFOX we'll see :)
I wonder, are we going to have another edit war? meta.stackexchange.com/posts/247169/revisions
 
@ShadowWizard Why did you rollback?
 
@hichris123 because he's totally changed the question and there is an existing answer.
 
Oh, I see.

@JanDvorak Probably, but facial recognition is not the easiest thing in the world.

@bjb568 well, my own is still only 2 y/o and when being told "don't touch it" he touch it with a smug look on his face... but I want to believe that over the years people change ;)
 
Nope.

Perhaps.

@bjb568 notice we have a close vote effort going here
But it needs some coordination between 'normal' close voters and the regulars that handle the CVQ in an event

Q: Comment overflow

bjb568 Caused by this overflowed comment which isn't line-broken. Your table layout sucks! shakes fist

 
meh @rene, just skim trough someone else activity page (review tab) to search for them
that's how I would do it
 
6:03 PM
@Braiam But that doesn't bring me on the review item ... I want to use the 40 reviews I'm allowed per day. I have a top position to defend ;)
 
@bjb568 Err... there are spam questions on DevDoodle. Please nuke them.
 
wat done
 
@Braiam Hmm, Ok, I see what you mean...
@ProgramFOX run smokey there...
 
@rene dammit... don't see it until I explain it to you... deletes 200 characters

Looks like a n00b, using a web browser and stuff.
Should I captcha the create account page?
 
@Braiam But I'm sure Gnat doesn't use the CVQ so he simply close votes from the question. How would it work in that case? One of us should first hit that question so it appears in our activity tab, right?
 
Sam
@bjb568 Captcha all da tings!
 
:D
I'll also ask a basic programming/thinking question or something.
To keep out the riffraff.
 
Sam

6:17 PM
WTH
Google is crawling thru my JS and trying to GET all teh linkz?
 
use noindex
 
@rene yeah, unless he posts the links from his "votes" tab
 
@Braiam hmmm, either way it is inconvenient for someone...
 
@ProgramFOX I am. In a meta tag.

@bjb568 You can use "URL Parameters" link in the sidebar to set which URL parameters you want to be crawled. Google doesn't know if they change the content of the page or don't.
 
Wha?

10:14 PM
did you buy your new system?
 
@hichris123 Only 1k?
 
@hichris123 wait, Chromium was using SVN no?
 
@Braiam yeah
It's slow since it's on an external hard drive right now
@bjb568 Maybe more. I synced a few weeks ago, so...
I can check in a minute
 
stop blaming git then... ¬_¬
 
@Braiam They switched
 
10:15 PM
@hichris123 amen!
 
@hichris123 then is your IO fault not git... LEAVE GIT ALONE!
 
> Failed! Attempting to squash bookmark-copy ... Failed!
Can you say failed more?
@Braiam It's only been going at like 10% of max read/write speeds, so...
 
@hichris123 I only see spikes, through
 
@Braiam Oh, that's activity. Task Manager is weird -- it shows % active time, and not % of max speed.

Q: New in IT security

gmkI'm new in IT security. What should be my first step in. Can somebody suggest good books and online tutorials. I can program in C++ , python and Java. My default os is debian.

 
@hichris123 disk queue length might be more useful
 
@rene Queue length is inbetween 1 and 5.
 
you'll need more spindles in that drive if you want it to perform better.
 
huh?
 
ah, ok
 
Git's pretty disk hungry - we're about to move it off a VM/SAN onto physical hardware here with a local SSD array
 
And Nick randomly appears.
Yeah, I probably should stick it on an SSD.
 
Is it the 19th yet?
 
... here? No. UTC? No. Where you are? I don't think so.
 
10:53 PM
UGH
Why can't it be the 19th.
New Carpenter Brut!
WTB
IT'S OUT
 
Apparently the repo is 21.6 GB so moving it to an SSD wouldn't actually be too bad.

@Fundamental soo I should eat yogurt, take shower when nose get bad, and go to skary vet if maybe gonna die?
 
11:34 PM
@hichris123 after a git gc?
 
is a git noob
 
@NickCraver Uh, I'll see in a minute. But that does include compiled files (out/ just happens to be in the same directory, so...)
 
11:46 PM
@NickCraver After git gc, it's still 21.6 GB. out/ is actually 15 GB, so the repo isn't anywhere as big as I thought.
