A: Updates to the site

nicaelSeems that every redesigned site gets svgifyied voting arrows and The Star, while GD is left with the old pngs: FixPleasE!

they can haz a bug.
user259867
Still don't like the color of the bulletin. Too aggressive for this much screen area.
user259867
@nicael They probably found the SVG voting/star icons to be misaligned by 0.1px and scrapped the idea.

A: Markdown in chat fails for multi-line messages

Rebecca ChernoffIt is basically assumed that if you have something that is multi-line, you're either pasting a block of text and submitting it, or you're posting a block of code and the whole thing is going to be fixed-font/code. Markdown is only processed for single-line messages, unless the entire thing is co...

in CoGro Musings, 9 hours ago, by Tim Post
I'm really delighted to see the new Cogro Ops Specialists dig in and start writing replies. What they're doing was something that was added on to our jobs, but not really part of it, it just fell on our team to do, so we did it, and we basically just tried our best to get through our turns. For these folks, it's their main job and they're taking a lot of ownership in it. Replies much more thoughtful than we usually wrote, and great attention to detail.

in CoGro Musings, 9 hours ago, by Tim Post
Now, we're known for really good user support, a lot of folks have said they don't expect our level of service even when they pay for products. But these two are raising that up even more, which makes me happy. They can afford to take the time and really listen, which means if you order two cakes from us and want happy birthday written on both of them, you're much less likely to get this:
user259867
One of "these two" is animuson, who is the other?
@pizza JNat.

Q: Major design updates are now live!

Kurtis BeaversToday we moved the site's CSS to a newly refactored LESS system so that it's easier for us to fix SE network CSS bugs globally and launch new features in the future! The updates also allow us to use SVG for retina support. But while we were in there, we thought it would be a good idea to update...

OOO those voting animations!!!
user259867
@nicael UPVOTE ALL THE THINGS
@pizza nah.
yesterday, by Shog9
I'd blame myself, but that's what @animuson is for now
@pizza Wait, I found a bug in you. Since when "upvote" is the rule for you rather then "downvote"? :P
(Great you have been changed :D)
user259867
@nicael The message referred to you. And you don't have 125 on Android. :P
user259867
21:35
My record there is 42 up 40 down. I wish I could upvote more, but I usually have no clue to whether the proposed solutions work.
But I can still click the downvote, the animations happen regardless of the fact you vote or not :p
Interesting, webfonts showing as . in DevTools. .—72 glyphs
That roboto is nice, though.
@pizza The animation is working fine here...
user259867
It works, just shows warning in DevTools (Chrome 41) when inspecting the CSS properties.
Hrm not in 42.
user259867
@hichris123 It's only if :hover or :active is forced on the element. According to caniuse, Chrome has the prefixed version only up to and including 42. Unprefixed in 43.
21:45
ah, okay.

22:01
I need some advice, I could go for NAA here apple.stackexchange.com/a/179361/55266 but inspecting the link IMHO could also be seen as abuse or spam IMHO ?
abuse and spam both work, IMO
I'd go with spam, personally...
@hichris123 User blacklisted (120534 on apple.stackexchange.com).
22:17
huh, so apparently animuson/JNat's new jobs are permanent
For some reason I thought they were just internships or something
@Undo ... yeah...
@Shog9 YES GIVE US THAT
Big thanks to @pizza and compatriots for coming up with this idea

except the 'reputation >= 20k' thing, I dunno

Why not show actual rep?

user259867
It claims I have 4k rep.
IT LIES!
22:19
Ohhhhh I see how it works
Maybe add a link to comments?
I thought the >=20k was like a guideline
And bluefeet has a 40/40. Of course.
user259867
Reputation 20K+ would be better.
@hichris123 I see 27/40
22:21
Maybe add upvote:downvote ('d) ratio?
@Undo ...?
Maybe add how many steward badges?
user259867
@bjb568 Better not, knowing how voters react to those stats.
gah, singular foot, plural feet, whatever.
@pizza I mean the votes on the posts, not votes cast.
Maybe add net bounty rep?
@Undo ^^
I feel like the whole thing could be put into a to-be-mod review dashboard with a bunch of widgets and charts and graphs and dataz.
user259867
@bjb568 Which would not do much for regular voters.
Gah, require steward somewhere on the network to vote at all :p
user259867
22:24
In recent Stats election, the two also-rans had 0/40. Election was unnecessary.
@bjb568 ugh no.
Notice the ":p"
Interesting, google-chrome-arc had a question edited to include the tag by Jarrod. stackoverflow.com/revisions/25846837/2

Let's wait for an angry or confused post on GD meta about this score...
Guess Google wanted to sponsor it before people even started posting about it.
user259867
22:29
That project was announced in mid-2014 or so, if I remember correctly.
user259867
But without much detail, so I guess there couldn't be questions about it until now...
@pizza Announced at I/O, IIRC. Which was end of June.
@pizza seems like a new design for user cards in the mod election?
user259867
@nicael Yes, that's what it is.
user259867
The purpose being to display mod-related accomplishments of the user in an easily digestible form.

I am careful with spam flags on this page

user259867
@Shog9 On the previous SO election page the candidate scores are wrong now: some badges are missing. There is no Deputy for bluefeet (!) and nobody has more than 2 participation badges.
@pizza yeah, something is broken. We're investigating.
Oh wow that's fancy
user259867
Graphic Design shows up correctly (it seems).
22:53
By which I mean, "I'm waiting for the guy who wrote it to wake up so I can run around screaming with my hands in the air"
woah the rep display is awesome. Exactly what I was thinking, actually:
Mar 17 at 21:07, by Doorknob
A thought I've had for a while now but also never have gotten around to posting is that perhaps for users running for mod, only their rep "bracket" (20k+, 15k-20k, 10k-15k, etc.) should be shown (site-wide).
Because that's how I fix things now. I really love being a normal user.
user259867
Usability testing: I find myself wondering which badges are counted in which category, and looking for a link that would explain that.
user259867
I see the tooltip with earned badges, but that's just the visible side of it. When it's 1/6, I wonder what's lacking.
23:02
@Undo Same place.
I think it's borked
I think so too. @Shog9 can we double the screaming?
user259867
Especially because the bug makes @hichris123's candidate card look so pathetic...
status-bydesign
Oh noes!
@Shog9 if (user.username == "hichris123") { // break this guy's account, we don't like him breakAccount(); }
23:06
syntax error, expected }
It's commented out :P
ah, well, we're calling this psudocode. :P
Psuedocode where the commented out part runs?
more reasons to prefer C-style comments
even in pseudocode
actually, forget pseudocode. Just write C. It's easier.

23:08
I can write C in any language.
if (strcmp(user.username, "hichris123") == 0) { /* break stuff */ }
/* my comments are horrible */
@Shog9 Make it C++ and we got a deal.
@Shog9 Poor hichris12345.
I dislike alloc & malloc.
Actually, dislike isn't strong enough.
Oh wait, I failed at understanding strcmp. Never mind.
23:09
Hate with a passion?
alloca() is pretty nice
@hichris123 you can hate with passion, but with a passion????
It means he yearns to nail up malloc and watch it bleed out in front of an angry mob
yes...?

"nice"

Q: How Does A Stack Overflow Occur and How Do You Prevent It?

JasonMichaelHow does a stack overflow occurs and what are the best ways to make sure it doesn't happen, or ways to prevent one - particularly on web servers, but other examples would be interesting, as well.

23:16
@Braiam Apparently this is slang. Huh. Urban Dictionary has a page on it... but it's Urban.
@Shog9 "How do I prevent a Stack Overflow error" asks a question on Stack Overflow. Are we meta enough?
no. We need to figure out how to cause a Stack Overflow on Stack Overflow by viewing the Stack Overflow question on Stack Overflow.
Does OOM in a browser count?
I find it funny when there's a burninate request for a tag @Shog9 created:
