Hello

12 hours ago, by Tyler Chacha

I've scrolled to the top and not a single message has been starred. That is truly incredible..

It's happening again..

George Marian

@TylerChacha Eh?

Tyler Chacha

Hows it going @GeorgeMarian? Back from Holidays?

Tim Stone

'Ello @TylerChacha, @GeorgeMarian

George Marian

@TylerChacha Nah, I've just been busy with the holidays and mostly lurking in here.

Tim Stone

:O

Tyler Chacha

06:06

@MarcGravell How ya doing?

George Marian

heh hey @TimStone

Tim Stone

All praise @GeoffDalgas :P

George Marian

@MarcGravell Breaking more chats? ;)

Marc Gravell

heya all; back for my first "proper" day's work since xmas invaded my nice orderly home

I'm busy breaking the moderator dashboard first, then I'll get right on breaking chats

Tim Stone

Heheh, did you have an enjoyable (though seemingly hectic) holiday? :)

Tyler Chacha

06:14

@MarcGravell There is a very critical bug with the Moderation Dashboard

@MarcGravell The bug is ... I can't see it......

Tim Stone

Didn't you already make that joke before? :P

Tyler Chacha

Reuse and Recycle

Note 'Reduce' is not listed..

Marc Gravell

The code is written to also be a drop in replacement for the 10k flags page - just needs some sanity checking

Tyler Chacha

@MarcGravell Does that mean the 10k page will look nicer?

Can we get keyboard shortcuts for the moderation page?

Marc Gravell

what shortcuts would you need?

nhinkle

Quite a while ago (11 days to be exact) I asked on meta.SO if there's a possibility of seeing any year-end statistics for the SE sites besides SO, like what was posted on the SO blog a couple weeks ago. Quite a few people seem to like the idea, but there has been literally no response from the SO team, in support or against the suggestion. Any idea if this will ever happen? Can we get some sort of status update on whether this is in the works or just not happening or completely overlooked?

Q: 2010 analytics for all Stack Exchange sites

The 2010 analytics data posted on the Stack Overflow blog recently were very interesting. It would be nice however to see this sort of data for all of the Stack Exchange sites, or at least for all of the original trilogy. Would it be possible for the Stack Exchange team to provide this informatio...

Tyler Chacha

[j] Next [k] Previous [f] Flag

Marc Gravell

@nhinkle I'll ask...

Tyler Chacha

[o] Expand

That way we can go through and look at content in a more efficient manner

nhinkle

@MarcGravell, thanks. Sorry for the hassle. Usually there's a pretty quick response on SO for this sort of thing, so it's surprising to have heard nothing. We from the other SE sites appreciate it :)

Marc Gravell

bumped

Tyler Chacha

06:19

@MarcGravell Also, I can't flag a post from the moderation page, but I can look at the content..

Therefore, if I'm able to look at the content, I'm able to judge whether it needs to be flagged. Thus I should be able to flag it

Marc Gravell

it does make sense to include that option - a bit like /review does

Tyler Chacha

Also, can you make an easter egg that if you down-vote Jon Skeet, random parts of the site are replaced by the word 'thingadongdong'

Marc Gravell

is this change reflexive? how about if you downvote "thingadongdong", random parts of Jon Skeet are replaced?

Tyler Chacha

no...

Tim Stone

I have a strange feeling that he wouldn't like that.

Rebecca Chernoff

06:28

lulz

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff I'm thinking at some point we should probably take a look at the userscript as a whole and figure out how we might tidy it up. Of course, if you'd really rather go to extensions, I guess that might not be worthwhile.

Rebecca Chernoff

I think it would be anyway. If we go the extensions route, I'd picture the userscript itself existing and then just ui's that present options to the user being browser specific for however the extension needs to be built?

Tim Stone

Hm, that's true. :) In that case we'll have to pick a good point to break from adding new stuff. ;)

Rebecca Chernoff

Right...

|:

Hehe

Tim Stone

What, have you gone and added 20 more features in the last half hour? Hahah, but I was thinking maybe once we have this notification stuff sorted out or something, unless you had anything else big planned. On a semi-related note, I checked some changes into my repository, so I'll probably take care of the pull in the morning (trying to do other stuff before I forget, and want to make sure I didn't forget any changes).

Rebecca Chernoff

06:37

The only other thing I plan on adding is explicit notification + onebox support.

My regex didn't work when we tested the other night.

Or something related to the check if not the regex.

Tim Stone

What do you mean as far as explicit notification support?

Rebecca Chernoff

Well right now it just looks for .mention inside of .message. If you explicitly reply to a message with content that gets oneboxed, there is no .mention, so it doesn't trigger a desktop notification.

Tim Stone

Ah, gotcha.

Rebecca Chernoff

A regular explicit reply is ok because that will have the .mention element. It's just when it is a onebox.

Marc Gravell

still toying with adding chrome notifications to the main script; then it will rock as an app-shortcut

Tim Stone

06:40

:o

Rebecca Chernoff

o:

lol @TimStone

Tim Stone

Copycat! ;)

Rebecca Chernoff

@MarcGravell If you want the code, take a look at the userscript hehe.

Or at least, hackish code. >_<

Tim Stone

Marc going behind our backs to add awesome things to the chat that he created, for shame!

Oh health insurance application, why will you not allow me to enter my birthday?

Rebecca Chernoff

All the new tabs that the chat creates when you click on just about anything is not kind with a desktop shortcut.

Marc Gravell

06:42

well, I imagine we'd hook in at a different place, and we'd have things like user-prefs to worry about - so we know when to (or not to) bring up the "request permission" bar...

Rebecca Chernoff

Well you only need the request permission bar once per domain.

Tim Stone

Yeah, doing a livequery on the DOM is definitely not the most effective way to get the notifications. I wanted to hook into the event responses, but I didn't toy around much with what @RebeccaChernoff did yet. :P

Marc Gravell

true, true...

Rebecca Chernoff

@TimStone Well, as usual, I went for the quick and dirty route. >_<

Tim Stone

Hey, it works and it's cool, so it's all good. \o/

Rebecca Chernoff

06:45

Hehe.

Hmm, I just glanced at the clock and thought that I needed to get to bed because I needed to wake up for work. Bad Rebecca!

Tim Stone

Heheh

Yeah, you need to work on completely trashing your sleep schedule so that when you do have work to go back to you'll be completely unprepared ;)

Rebecca Chernoff

oy

Tim Stone

07:15

Oh, it's already past 2...hrm.

Rebecca Chernoff

'tis indeed!

For those in less than stellar time zones. (:

Tim Stone

I'm not sure that best is less than stellar, but yes.

Rebecca Chernoff

yada q:

giddy

hi everyone.. just wondering what the new high lighted questions are about??

stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/linq-to-entities

(the light yellow highlights on the questions)

Yi Jiang

@giddy You added a tag to the 'interesting tags' list, so the system highlights all questions with those tags

George Marian

07:25

@TimStone If it's any consolation, I would be in bed, but I have to wait for the soup to cool down so I can put it in the fridge.

giddy

hah! lol i see. true. its the first time ive set my interesting tags.

George Marian

Yah, it's the interesting tags.

giddy

and I thought it was a new feature =P

Tim Stone

@GeorgeMarian I should be finishing up work, but my brain isn't functioning properly at the moment.

Rebecca Chernoff

If you don't set any interesting/ignored tags, then I believe they've written logic that figures one out for you, so people could be seeing highlighting without ever setting anything.

Tim Stone

07:26

@RebeccaChernoff Yes

George Marian

@TimStone Sometimes, it's best to leave it alone for a while. I've done lots of great work late at night and I've also caused lots of work late at night. :)

giddy

thanks guys! =)

Tim Stone

I think I just have to write a few more lines, but I might cave and watch TV instead, heh. But yeah, I know what you mean.

Rebecca Chernoff

and when you say TV, do you mean Minecraft or NFS? (:

George Marian

lol

Tim Stone

07:31

@RebeccaChernoff I could play NFS (Well, not the one I was playing, as I've pretty much completely beaten it now), but I was thinking about actually watching TV, what with the sleepiness and such.

George Marian

So, I finally took the dive into python. I ended up in Django. Now, I have to find my way into GTK. /shudder

Tim Stone

I also just realized that I only ate once today, and that makes me sad.

Rebecca Chernoff

heh

Tim Stone

Ah ha, good stuff. I've yet to fully take that plunge, mainly due to being busy with other things.

George Marian

It's pretty nice. There are some oddities, but I like it. I haven't dome much, but so far the strict white space hasn't been an issue.

Tim Stone

07:33

That's what I like to hear :)

George Marian

Django also seems pretty cool. I futzed with the templating a bit. What can I say? I like the idea of one template extending another. :)

Tim Stone

Ah yeah, Play! does its templating like that too, at least in the sense that you say that some content extends some other content.

George Marian

I like it. I like it a lot. It makes it easy to create a shell and fill it.

Tim Stone

yawns Alright, time to go lay down and take care of that whole TV thing. I'll either get a second burst of energy and be back to code, or I'll pass out, which seems a bit more likely at the moment. ;)

George Marian

@TimStone Heh. Good luck with that and g'night.

Tim Stone

07:41

Thanks, see everyone later. Also, someone feed @YiJiang while I'm gone, he's over there in the Sandbox asking for cheeseburgers. :P

George Marian

heh

Yi Jiang

07:54

@TimStone Ha!

radp

09:18

Sigh. I still get logged out.

Morning gents.

Let's try using a non-Google OpenID :|

mumbles Stupid Yahoo.

mumbles This better not work.

Yi Jiang

@radp Ha! Cursing the Internet gods will only make things worse :P

radp

@YiJiang Yahoo is an internet god?

A fallen god at best.

Yi Jiang

@radp Used to be

radp

YES! I got logged out.

Take that Yahoo.

Yi Jiang

@radp Not sure why you'd want to be happy - it indicates a problem with the StackAuth login system

radp

09:34

@YiJiang ...well at least that means I was right about that.

Not my connection, not my OpenID provider, not the moon phase

I mean, if the problem had been with Google, it'd have been fixed sometime in 2015

Now instead I can bunny poke @Marc to death...

Yi Jiang

@radp You're right! @MarcGravell needs to hear about this!

Q: Stack Exchange Chat logs me out every 3 minutes

I tried to log in via the ghetto login button, via StackAuth on the room list, via StackAuth on the login page, via StackAuth after logging in and out of a SE site (SF), via the 'chat' button on Gaming... ...but no matter what I do, today I'm consistently being logged out. The 5 minutes figure ...

support chat stackexchange-2.0 login

@marcog whoops :) sorry.

marcog

@radp No worries :)

Marc Gravell

@marcog Sorry, I'll change my name

ok ok, taking another look at that damned asldkhfslfdkj jilfdsjgsldfkjglkfdsjg lkfdjg lkdfsgkljdflg logout issue

marcog

@MarcGravell How kind of you

radp

10:11

@MarcGravell I suggest "Rebecca"

Yi Jiang

@radp Chernoff is equally good. Better, even!

radp

@MarcGravell would you like me to try logging in some more times for your diagnostic pleasure?

Marc Gravell

feel free, but I don't have any special logging for you at the moment ;p

this is such a brain-ache issue

Yi Jiang

Dunno why other room notification suddenly fails now...

Marc Gravell

core? or user-script?

Yi Jiang

10:27

@MarcGravell Userscript - mine. That was part debugging message

Marc Gravell

(leaves users to script themselves silly)

Yi Jiang

Leaving two windows open like this, then talking in one and waiting for the notification to turn up is weird

/blames @MarcGravell for not providing an API

radp

the DOM should be good enough for everybody™

Yi Jiang

@radp Without XMLHttpRequest, chat is nothing

radp

and jQuery.

Don't forget about jQuery

@YiJiang you can use the DOM to insert arbitrary response nodes in your page! hides

Yi Jiang

10:34

@radp Erm...

radp

that's the basis for <script> injection when XHR origin policies get in the way, yes?

(I think that, instead of replying to @YiJiang's erms, I should instead star them and pretend they were valuable internet currency instead. Then I think this room can do with just one valuable internet currency, @RebeccaChernoff's oy, and that I should leave it at that.)

You don't want to have arguments about how many oys is an erm worth, right?

Yi Jiang

Q: Add paging for user activity section

I'm curious, are people interested in paging on the recent activity page?

feature-request status-completed users recent-activity

Woot! [status-complete] at last

@radp Possibly, but the market rates are made up on the spot and are generally accepted to be correct, so it's not that big of an issue

Pekka

11:18

Did you know that Cyrillic has a letter for "Oy"? Ѹ

2

radp

@Pekka If this doesn't deserve a pin, I don't know what does.

Yi Jiang

11:36

Uk (Cyrillic)

Uk () is a letter of the early Cyrillic alphabet. It was originally a digraph of and or less frequently , a letterform called digraph uk. To save space, it was often written as a vertical ligature (), monograph uk. In modern times, has been replaced by the simple у. In later manuscript, the digraph uk has three case: lowercase , uppercase , and an all-caps form which is used in all-capitals titles, . Borrowing from Greek Both the horizontal and the vertical digraph were borrowed from the Greek alphabet. The Greek ligature is frequently found in Greek medieval manuscripts and ...

Dammit! All the Ѹ's are gone! We demand a fix for this @MarcGravell!!

radp

11:58

groans

radp

12:22

setInterval( function () {$("#input").text(Math.random()); $("#sayit-button").click()}, 5000) and setInterval( function() { $(".pending a").last().click() }, 1000) are not enough to keep me logged in :(

Marc Gravell

Quick test - anyone around who might be able to reply / mention me?

radp

@MarcGravell

@MarcGravell halp! edit test

Marc Gravell

Cool - desktop notifications (in Chrome) now available in the core build. Back to keeping @badp logged in...

Yi Jiang

Hehe... but won't that means that @RebeccaChernoff's script would actually double notify unless you turn one off?

Marc Gravell

hmmm... I wonder if I need to remove some formatting...

@YiJiang perhaps, but ultimately that is a user-script issue

Yi Jiang

12:26

@MarcGravell So when is it coming out? And what options are you defining for it? Also, is other room messages supported?

Feeds

hi @Marc bold italics

Marc Gravell

@YiJiang when: when you reload; options: which would you like? other-room: should be - will validate

Yi Jiang

@spoulson Evening

spoulson

@YiJiang Morning

radp

13:10

woo, I can has notifications.

@MarcGravell You give the "enable desktop notification" message to logged out users too

Marc Gravell

d'oh! fixing

Yi Jiang

Does @-mentions like Blah@Feeds work?

radp

blah@YiJiang

Yi Jiang

@radp It does, apparently

radp

@MarcGravell Receive desktop notifications for: [ ] Moderator flags, [ ] Offensive flags, [ ] mentions

drachenstern

13:25

But does it work on mobile safari?

Fosco

Good Whatever, everyone.

Marc Gravell

@drachenstern which "it"?

radp

@radp test

Marc Gravell

@radp self reply/mention isn't necessarily going to happen

Feeds

@radp which is one reason I'm handy; isn't that right @Marc?

radp

13:34

> You were mentioned by Marc Gravell @radp which is one reason I'm handy; isn't that right @Marc?

Your Feeds shenanigans don't work via notifications!

(that, or two people's @replies get merged in one notification with the former's title and the latter's message.)

Marc Gravell

oh, that

I edited it as me; I don't have a UI for editing as other people

radp

@MarcGravell That was an interesting reality check.

Fosco

14:03

there's no 'disable desktop notifications' option?

Marc Gravell

@Fosco The browser itself gives you that. We could also possibly add a user-preference if needeed

Yi Jiang

@MarcGravell The problem is that the browser will (AFAIK) never ask again, so if you only need to momentarily turn it off...

Marc Gravell

will look at

Fosco

where does my browser (Chrome) give me this option?

Yi Jiang

@Fosco I'm not sure if there's a global option available, but the site will need to ask for your permission before it can do the desktop notification

Fosco

14:15

ok since you pinged me, there was an option on the notification to access the settings... turned them off

Yi Jiang

@YiJiang I need to see if this works cross-room. How about edits.

Gah!

Pedro Loureiro

14:33

hello

is there anyway to include a link with parenthesis in it?

example:

Yi Jiang

@PedroLoureiro You need to encode it

Pedro Loureiro

Encapsulation (object-oriented programming)

In an object-oriented programming language encapsulation is used to refer to one of two related but distinct notions, and sometimes to the combination thereof: * A language mechanism for restricting access to some of the object's components. * A language construct that facilitates the bundling of data with the methods operating on that data. Programming language researchers and academics generally use the first meaning alone or in combination with the second as a distinguishing feature of object oriented programming. The second definition is motivated by the fact that in many OOP language...

manually? :x

sorry.. I didn't mean to actually link to the page

Yi Jiang

@PedroLoureiro I'm sure there are online tools to do it for you

Pedro Loureiro

yes

Yi Jiang

meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder

Eric Meyer, of all people :P

Pedro Loureiro

14:35

but I guess it should be integrated with the composer :)

hmm

that makes it as http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FEncapsulation_(object-oriented_programming)

which doesn't work

Yi Jiang

@PedroLoureiro Not really very easy, since you can't tell legitimate end of line ) from those in the URL

Hmm... well anyway you should only need to replace that last ) - use %29 instead would work I think

Hmmm... copying that URL causes Firefox to encode the two brackets for me automatically

Pedro Loureiro

trying: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

yay!

it worked1

:D

thanks

Tim Stone

14:51

So much to do, so little time to sleep.. yawns

drachenstern

@MarcGravell Sorry, was getting ready for work, desktop mentions from either the userscript or the "chat infrastructure"

@MarcGravell Oh you should totally do that for debug for yourself, plus it would be fun to spring on people on Friday's :p

Somebody @ me? Pretty please, wanna check something

Yi Jiang

@drachenstern sure

drachenstern

@TimStone bah, just goto bed ... :p

Ok, I think I like rcherns better than marcs ... sorry guys. Also, @MarcGravell how long does yours take to go away? Must I click on it?

Yi Jiang

@drachenstern There's a little x button that should dismiss it

drachenstern

Yeah, but that's hardly helpful IMever-soHO

edits double it

Tim Stone

14:58

@MarcGravell Presumably this second notification is your doing, so can we shorten the title text to "Reply from <user>:", and have it disappear after a while? :)

drachenstern

That's what I'm getting at!

And we know he's lurking ;)

lul, "Serious Putty"? Seems like Randall's a little off today ...

Tim Stone

This is really cool though, means that I can sneak it out of the userscript.

drachenstern

@TimStone not till he fixes it :p

Tim Stone

Did you see the mouse over? :P

drachenstern

on what?

Tim Stone

15:01

the xkcd

Yi Jiang

Serious puTTY :P

drachenstern

Yes, still didn't feel it was that funny

Impact ... really?

for a terminal window? It's not even a good fixed width font!

Yi Jiang

@drachenstern You mean you actually know of a good bold monospaced font? :P

drachenstern

@YiJiang I barely know of a good monospaced font ;)

Yi Jiang

Anyway, the Prism app is done. Some things are still a little weird, but it should work pretty well I think

drachenstern

15:04

So I've been hearing you talk about this prism app, what is it? got a linky?

Yi Jiang

Ironically, with the apt gotten version of Prism I now have file association with .webapp files, on a platform which the docs say should not work with

drachenstern

I just love this stupid error message, makes it so tricky to figure out just what broke:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: REDACTED.com/…
Line Number 1, Column 1:


^

So I think I'm gonna block two people on twitter and facebook simultaneously. Think they'll notice?

Tim Stone

naaah

Yi Jiang

Hang on, I'll drop a copy onto my Dropbox. I think I might still want to polish it up a little

You'll need the Prism add-on for Firefox, or the standalone app thingadongdong

Tim Stone

15:20

> To All Students, All network services are up and operational again. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Always annoying when the network goes back up, yes...

drachenstern

Well they can't very well send you an email while it's down can they? Altho that would be an ultimate case of CYA

Tim Stone

Well, presumably they're apologising for any inconvenience the outage may have caused, but they didn't say that, so. :P

Yi Jiang

dl.dropbox.com/u/1722364/chat.webapp

The Prism bundle

Oops... I forgot to remove the Firebug Lite getScript from the JavaScript file there

Ah well... it can't do any harm. I'll go remove it

drachenstern

Then I'll wait

Yi Jiang

Updated. Same file

drachenstern

15:28

@TimStone well yeah I noticed that. I personally would've delivered a copy of the email to each local mailbox as a CYA hey you're getting this mail while the networks down, sorry you can't read it. PS: the network is down.

Tim Stone

:P

Yi Jiang

There's a version of Greasemonkey that runs on Prism. Hang on while I restart Firefox...

drachenstern

techcrunch.com/2010/12/29/…

So if ~50% of the userbase runs that version, and about ~1/3 of the supernodes were on that version of skype, then that means that probably another ~1/3 of the supernodes were on the copies of skype that weren't that version, which means that skype is responsible in it's datacenter for probably roughly ~1/3 of the supernodes for skype in the first place. Since we can estimate how many users use skype (we know how many are online at any one time yes?) then we know something ...

what it is we know I'm not really sure just yet, but interesting stuff nonetheless

Yi Jiang

Here's the repo for the GM for Prism thingadongdong: github.com/teramako/greasemonkey-for-prism

Since I'm on Ubuntu right now I thought I might as well pull a copy and build it

drachenstern

So prism lets you build a framed webapp as a desktop app, so pretty much what chrome did with their version of the same thing then?

Since I use my FX for my daily testing for our core product, I'm not gonna disrupt that config further than I already have so I'll have to lookit later

starred for finding ;)

Yi Jiang

15:37

@drachenstern Yeah, except that I looked at the ability for Prism to bundle a set of js and CSS files, and tried to make use of those

drachenstern

when did @MarcGravell leave and is he gonna fix our chatnotification? wah wah wah

Yi Jiang

Yup, GM works! \o/

I'll drop the xpi file into my dropbox too

Greasemonkey .xpi file: dl.dropbox.com/u/1722364/…

@RebeccaChernoff Good morning my sleeping beauty :P

morning sleepyhead (@yijiang :p)

lol, jinx

Rebecca Chernoff

Yi Jiang

@RebeccaChernoff How often do you update the userscript on stackflair.com?

Rebecca Chernoff

Oh, erm, not in a while. q:

I've just been linking people to the repo

Yi Jiang

15:53

@RebeccaChernoff Geesh... that's the link I give out to people, ya know?

Rebecca Chernoff

But hrm, I guess the pinned messages still have that eh?

Yi Jiang

@RebeccaChernoff Yup

in JavaScript on Stack Overflow Chat, Nov 9 at 22:04, by Yi Jiang

Keyboard shortcuts and IRC-like /commands for chat: Install Link and Github site

drachenstern

just put a redirect 301 on those scripts to the github locale

Yi Jiang

Brilliant. Grrr... @MarcGravell

Rebecca Chernoff

Um, ok, so I see @MarcGravell added notifications, but, uh, do they go away??

drachenstern

15:54

errr, not a 301 probably

@RebeccaChernoff no, sadly, they do not

see :418236 ish

Rebecca Chernoff

Kinda like that a feature from the userscript is being integrated into core. Really do not like it not aging away. >_<

drachenstern

Yeah I don't care for that omission, but glad for you that a feature became mainlined ;)

Yi Jiang

@RebeccaChernoff Go and bunny poke @MarcGravell. With a stick.

Rebecca Chernoff

I think you just did...

drachenstern

ah-ha, a 302 redirect says "for now go there, but keep checking here in the future"

I think @MarcGravell is sleeping ... hmmm

Yi Jiang

15:56

@RebeccaChernoff But hey, one is never enough, right? ;)

Rebecca Chernoff

Tis the middle of the afternoon for him!

Yi Jiang

@drachenstern When I should be sleeping? Nah!

drachenstern

@YiJiang lol, during the nighttime of course

Rebecca Chernoff

Hrm. No way to get Chrome to show me userscript notifications and not core notifications.

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff well he surely isn't removing that offending bit of code is he? ;) ... I believe the fade-out code has already been written and tested, and just needs to be integrated in. Even if he left it for 30 seconds or a minute, so long as the growl left I would be ok

@RebeccaChernoff yeah, I considered that too earlier, sadly not

Yi Jiang

15:58

Moving the chat Prism to a new workspace should improve my productivity by ten folds :P

Now I just need to create one for SO and SE chat and offshore those to Prism too

Rebecca Chernoff

Wonder if he looked at the userscript at all. (:

drachenstern

Rebecca Chernoff

Hmm, I should probably post on Meta about the Keyboard Shortcut script. Nothing is really happening with it as I don't know what to change really. Seems fine enough for me for a v1.

Yi Jiang

@RebeccaChernoff Want an ad for the Open Source sidebar thingadongdong?

Rebecca Chernoff

o:

drachenstern

16:03

keyboard shortcut script?

what's it do?

Yi Jiang

We're near the deadline here though. I thought I saw some of those ads online already.

Rebecca Chernoff

Adds keyboard shortcuts (;

Deadline?

drachenstern

lol, you don't say. what do those keyboard shortcuts do?

Rebecca Chernoff

q:

keyboard navigation for SE sites.

drachenstern

got a 20 second keyboard pitch?

Yi Jiang

16:04

@RebeccaChernoff The OSS sidebar ad thing has a deadline if you want the ads to be displayed in the first half of next year

drachenstern

do you mean I can wasd myself to bliss?

Yi Jiang

If not it'll be second half of next year, which would be a pretty long wait

Rebecca Chernoff

drachenstern

is it in the github readme?

Rebecca Chernoff

@YiJiang Oh, hrm. I had not pondered this.

Someone should really contribute to that script and cleanup the look of that dialog. q:

Given that I'm already seeing ads from the question, I'm not sure if that deadline has already been passed

Also remember the required number of votes

Why do I suddenly feel eyes partly roving over me? hmmm

@YiJiang I have no idea how it works.

@YiJiang Seems like that was for 2H 2010, not 1H 2011...

@RebeccaChernoff Admittedly, I'm not quite sure how that thing works either

I mean, that's how I thought the thing worked

Stack Overflow Blog: Free Vote-Based Advertising Launches Second Round

Robert Cartaino

It’s time once again to support your favorite open source project through our Free Vote-Based Advertising for Open Source Projects. We are clearing the leader boards to start the second half of 2010 anew.

For the past six months, Stack Overflow has been providing free advertising for open source projects. For those of you who missed it the last time around, this is a true, grass roots movement for programmers to publicize their favorite open source projects. Users create the ads, users vote for their favorites, and Stack Overflow features them in a sidebar ad slot. …

I think once an ad post gets 6 votes, it starts appearing as an ad. And the 2H 2010 period started 6/11 and goes for about 6 months.

Yi Jiang

@RebeccaChernoff Which means that the next one will be starting soon

Rebecca Chernoff

So it would seem. (:

Yi Jiang

Hmmm... do you want one for the scripts?

Rebecca Chernoff

Yeah, would be cool.

I thought 12 pages would be a good number of pages to load, but apparently not

Heh. Nice edit, yo. (;

Can someone else try to reproduce this so I don't feel like it's just me? meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/73467/…

Q: Able to vote on comments for a deleted question

I'm able to vote on comments to deleted answers on deleted questions. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding: I did this multiple times in this post, in fact the "4" with the upvote is another one I just did in the post, but I had forgotten to take a screenshot before I did it. I also ma...

bug voting comment-voting deletion

Rebecca Chernoff

Not 10K, sorry. ):

Yi Jiang

@GeorgeStocker Yup. I can too. I'm not sure if that's [by-design] though

George Stocker

Are you 10K On any site, Reb?

Thanks Yi.

Yi Jiang

@GeorgeStocker She's mod on WA, hmmm

Rebecca Chernoff

Neg.

George Stocker

It doesn't seem like it should be [by-design]

Rebecca Chernoff

Well, mod on WA yeah.

Yi Jiang

@GeorgeStocker True, given that the question comments are locked

Hang on, isn't that because Bill locked the question?

George Stocker

Yea, but since it's deleted, we shouldn't be able to vote on it.

Yi Jiang

16:56

@GeorgeStocker I just tried - you can do it on unlocked questions too

George Stocker

unlocked/deleted questions?

Yi Jiang

@GeorgeStocker Only spam/offensive deletes are auto-locked I think, so those deleted by three 10k'er aren't locked. I think

George Stocker

When you try to upvote a deleted answer, you get a 'Hey, you can't do that, this post is deleted' but not for comments.

drachenstern

@GeorgeStocker correct, has been that way for some time

Also I commented on the post in meta, cos that's what I think is going on ...
