I don't like the commas in stackoverflooooooow logo... should have used thin space separators.

user259867

Commas in a logo never work, whatever the purpose.

Q: Oh sweet, sweet distration... [Hot Network Questions]

This is my first question on meta so please be gentle... I can't count the number of times that I've been looking for a question that I can helpfully contribute an answer toward or an answer to something I'm working on and ended up reading about why cyclists land rear wheel first or about the ad...

Pretty nice for a first meta post!

I think the question rate frozen at 2.7 questions/minute is an API bug. Post on Stack Apps or Meta? Probably Stack Apps.

@NormalHuman What if it's 2.701 at one minute and 2.789 at the other? Is the value truncated or rounded?

Who's got the Stack Exchange app on iOS that can create a screenshot for me? I'm looking for a screenshot of the comment autocomplete described by Anna here so that I can compare it to the lack of autocomplete on android as seen here

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Or a rolling average over a longer period of time

It's an average, but a wrong average. There is no period of time that justifies returning this low rate for 24+ hours.

@ᔕᖺᘎᕊ Thanks! I've even got an answer, although it will require me to go to the appstore.

Going to see about my Mac problem tomorrow when I'm back at work.

Oh noes! Hacked by some random group, they must be proud...they can post an answer.

user259867

@Andy Were there any script tags in the post? I got to it too late to see the source.

user259867

... and that answer counts toward 16M or whatever figure is cited on that page. Well, it counted until it was deleted.

Andy

@NormalHuman Ah. Yes, there is quiet a bit in there that I didn't think to look at.

ᔕᖺᘎᕊ

@S.L.Barth Welcome! :) Hope it works for you in the end! :)

S.L. Barth

We'll see tomorrow, I guess. I do have a new lead, at least.

A: How is the "times a developer found your solutions here" figure calculated?

According to this query in SEDE (that doesn't include deleted questions) the total number of views is 14,932,504,077. The data was last updated Sunday, so there is about 4 days of views that would need to be added to it. Taking 14,932,504,077 DIVIDED BY 2 , gives us 7,466,252,038.5 So I'd say t...
