He was posting on twitter 9 hours ago, apparently. So he still appears to exist in some form. I haven't heard anything else since the unicorn room the other day...
So it's great that our whole community is now able to provide edit suggestions, but the decision to limit one-click approval status to moderators is causing me some heartburn.
Much to my surprise, today I encountered a nearly-good edit, one that I was about to make, and rather than be able to ...
The "close as too localized because we haven't finished yet" seems a bit... strange. "Wait until we've finished doing it wrong to tell us we're doing it wrong" :)
@mootinator, that doesn't really computer for me. If they're a badge whore with 2k rep, then they'd already be doing rubbish edits to get Strunk & White, so the problem is pre-existing.
I'd agree with @mootinator, people do many things even when there's no clear reason for them to. The only issue I had with the question being closed is whether or not the edit is actually blocked by that pending approval...if it is, and that thing is turned on all the time now (which maybe waffles is still only doing in in small time frames), that's kind of a big problem.
Also, I suppose it's not really a design decision until the design is decided. ;)
Yeah, I haven't been browsing about enough to notice either way.
Provided that people aren't being seriously edit-blocked now though, I'm inclined to agree with Jeff. Once there's indication that it's more stable, I'm sure the feedback will pour in.
As others have said, you can hide the keyboard through the UITextFieldDelegate protocol and through a [texfField resignFirstResponder] method. Alternatively, as vfn suggested, you can prevent thE keyboard from showing altogether.
For that button though, you are young to want to set the clearBut...
To be fair, he wasn't wrong, but it's a bit obnoxious. IMHO.
It is kind of annoying when someone picks out part of your question not really important to the answer which might be imperfect, downvotes you for it, then doesn't remove the downvote when you fix it.

Chrome's developer tools, turn on resource tracking, look at which request fails or has an empty body. It's probably your connection to YQL since it doesn't make it past the first step.
Well I get the same thing here in oz - if it helps the only request it makes is to "http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?callback=jsonp1295855371108&q=select+*+from+html+where+url%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fstackoverflow.com%2Felection%3Ftab%3Dnomination%22+and+xpath%3D%22*%22&format=xml"
He's got a point though. The absolute battle-tested best way to get more accepted answers: answer something useful as fast as possible, then after you've submitted, you can edit your answer to flesh it out. Otherwise someone else will do the same and the asker comes and sees two good answers, but theirs has an older timestamp and gets accepted.
@waffles. Some comments, if I may: I don't know if it's immediately clear that the highlighted text is the edit comment. And I wonder if it shouldn't be at the top.
> We sampled votes that are casted when there is a tie before the policy change (i.e., when there was a bias towards to older answer) as well as after the policy change (i.e., when you guys started random subsorting) and showed that there is actually not a significant difference. In other words, although the public thought that there is a bias towards the fastest gun, our analysis showed that there is not really a bias towards the fastest gun.
@waffles, I don't know if this is by design, but just in case: - before still has title 'diffed' - 'after' actually shows diff - not sure that 'diffed' markdown is more readable/useful than 'diffed' html
the short version is, you will get reputation for valid edits. This creates a way to create infinite sockpuppets... with reputation... all starting with 1 rep.
Here's a twist. 101 rep guy edits; a 2ker approves ("Sponsors") the edit. The edit goes live immediately but remains on /review. If a second user approves the sponsored edit, the editor gets a +2 and the sponsorer advanced towards a nice sounding badge. If a second user rejects, the sponsor loses 1 rep. Or somesuch.
but at 2k you don't have the right to edit something with a pending edit, or to approve a pending edit alone even though you're trusted to make your own edits without approval, it makes no sense
I'm unsure about the whole needing 2 people to approve edits - it means that posts can be essentially locked for editing until 2 people approve an edit, which is just going to be a pain.
@Jeff I suppose it depends on how much it gets used. If it gets used a lot or if people suggest edits on unpopular or old questions then you might end up with a lot of locked posts - I suppose only time will tell.
You should write out edits as text files, create new git repositories for each one, and make git merge the edits, then read out the text files into SO!
Have you considered starting out with NOT attributing rep for edits, just to see if that will work? Seems to me that would avoid a lot of these niggles
there's a lot of ways to tweak this process, but the idea that users can generate 1k (but never any more) of honorable rep through good edits, is something I feel very strongly about
@Jeff, Fine, but why do you feel strongly about it? Because you think that there won't be sufficient motivation otherwise? Because they 'deserve' it? Other (Please specify)?
@JeffAtwood, I'm not so sure. It's not 'I was going to edit this and I'm blocked' we're concerned about, it's "I want to approve this (to get it off my 'pending edits list'), but in it's current state, it's unusable"
I beg everyone's forgiveness for my TERRIBLE photoshopping skills in this mockup. Again, I'm drunk. The idea is that the badges "overflow" and wrap around the back
@Jeff, seriously, right after this I'll stop bitching. I've understood that it's still in flux, I just want to be sure that you've understood what my concern is: namely that I can't 'fix' a pending edit before approving it.
now just enhance each; by each by looking at the reflection on the unicorn's horn's tip you should be able to see the cheque's reflection in the lens camera!
@JeffAtwood There are edge cases where allowing them to comment could prevent some noise: like when people want to ask the OP for more info on the question.
So it's great that our whole community is now able to provide edit suggestions, but the decision to limit one-click approval status to moderators is causing me some heartburn.

i want to implement a searchBar as similar to google search bar ? is there any sample code how to do that
