@tchrist you did find this MSO post touching that topic?
> Me encantan los unicornios que pasan el rato detrás de la cocina, pero suelen comerse muchas de las margaritas. ¿Qué puedo hacer al respecto?
@rene Thanks, I had not. There is some discussion on meta.es.so though.
Yeah, I can't check that. I don't speak Spanish.
I want to make a drunken unicorn joke, but I keep getting interference with Please Don't Eat the Daisies. :)
@rene Oh ok. Are you francophone?
(Not that that would be a free pass to Spanish, of course!)
Nope, I understand English and German beyond my native language
I had to promise my French teacher to drop French as he felt I would never learn it...
I kept my promise
Ah ok, that makes sense then. There is some silly English stereotype I've stupidly fallen into where every person name Rene "must" speak French, just like how every person named Juan "must" speak Spanish. :)
1:06 PM
:D
And a person named Frodo, @tchrist?

Huh
Shog? Can you tell us a story please?
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man,

Lol wat?
Shog! I asked for a story, not a song!
Triage is empty... Interesting...
1:29 PM
@UNICYCLEZRDEBESTINDEHERE Shog is busy with the "Royal decree of Chat Nice-nes"
Wasn't mean to be a joke, the staff is really reworking the whole "Be nice" and chat tolerance problem.
How about the comment on that question?
1:52 PM

Hi @MadaraUchiha
Is this a hi? ^
@rene flagged as too chatty.
status-waiting-for-story
@ShadowWizard LOL, if I flagged it would I still have passed the audit?
2:00 PM
Just flagged as obsolete now it's been accepted anyway and must have been the last flag needed
@UNICYCLEZRDEBESTINDEHERE don't think so, it's not part of the audit
@PeterJ yup, ~3 flags are required to insta-nuke a comment
@ShadowWizard that is an option... I was more mentioning it as an example of a user not being pre-occupied with their own internet points
Remember flag gangs deleting mod comments?
@UNICYCLEZRDEBESTINDEHERE nope
2:01 PM
No.
Were those gangs evil?

@rene oh. To me it just looked on the verge of rude. Asking people to vote is wrong, even if not your own post
> The technique of nesting fragment caches to maximize cache hits is known as russian doll caching.
@ShadowWizard OK, I'll keep that in mind
Makes perfect sense to me. ^^
Somehow I can't find the vote gang thing
Tries MSE
@UNICYCLEZRDEBESTINDEHERE maybe because the mods revenged and deleted everything?
2:05 PM
Nah I don't think so
But it's an option

Q: Is killing fish with iced water really humane?

The interface of goo.gl pages is at least 2 generations behind most Google sites.

That navigation bar was replaced by black bar, which was replaced by a launcher thing.
in a regex, what's the difference between [a-z]{6,} and [a-z]{6} ?
what does that comma mean
user259867
Comma means: 6 or more.
{6,11} = at least 6 and at most 11.
{6,} = at least 6
4:03 PM
@PraxisAshelin no upper bound
{,6} would mean no lower bound
alright makes sense, ty
{6} means exactly 6
user259867
@Braiam No, that's not interpreted that way. You'd need {0,6}.
@NormalHuman mm? really?

you are right, but I kind of expected it was like that....

I think there was a reason once, but it was lost... If Triage does not hide the Unsalvageable from tag views, it does not serve the original purpose.
user259867
It still does something, being a version of "First Posts" with fewer questions but multiple reviewers.
user259867
But that doesn't explain having both.
4:19 PM
supposedly, FP should die after we figure out triage
user259867
In that case it might outlive us.
4:38 PM
It doesn't really do much given that Unsalvageable doesn't actually hide questions. Hopefully when it is more developed a concrete purpose will be easy to communicate to reviewers. — bjb568 13 secs ago
