You can use format, but grudgingly. They're different just to be different.

man 3 round

       These functions round x to the nearest integer, but round halfway cases
       away from zero (regardless of the current rounding direction, see fenv(3)),
       instead of to the nearest even integer like rint(3).

user315433

2:31 AM

0.15 should be rounded to 0.2 according to "toward even" rule. But 0.15 < 3/20 in double precision, so it's not considered an edge case.

@Jamal That doesn't really work. :P For some reason, deleted messages still ping.

Just a quick check: this concern is not limited to only login, right? Due to non-ssl a MITM can post on behalf of the user?

Quill

Well, yeah. As long as you have the user cookies and details required by the system to post an answer, you could MITM the post

rene

Ok, I was going to post that your account is safe because all that is done over ssl but that is kind of defeated by an MITM. And the title is somewhat confusing in that aspect

if not click-bait

Quill

I'm not a SO dev, so I really only understand as much of the system as can be understood from using it and reading some of the JS, so it's probably better to get some info from one of the Devs

theoretically, fkey, body content, post type and cookies should do it

Q: The Closing of Humor

Proposal: Humor This was a tough one. It really was. The proposal suggests this will be a site about the subject and nature of humor, but even the proposal author does not believe there is enough theoretical study behind humor to fill an entire Q&A. I'm not sure I agree with that, but as folks ...

@Quill People always forget its precedence and associativity, which is why they always thing -2**3**2 is something it isn't.

Quill

@Bookend I love how the author states PPCG as a potential model, and yet PPCG are struggling to find an acceptable identity in this Q&A network

user315433

What should -2**2 be?

user315433

Stack Overflow em Português also have an election, their 2nd. Five candidates already, two spots. The network-wide election page doesn't see it... :(

Paging @TimStone.

Quill

He probably disabled it for non-english sites

hichris123

No, probably just an oversight.

user315433

I thought about it, but I think it's status-won't-fix, or rather status-why-don't-you-send-a-PR

Quill

which would end up status-6-to-8-weeks

user315433

In case of Tim, it's status-on-my-todo-list

status-ping-tim is always easier than any of those.

Quill

i'm still on his todo list.... ;-; github.com/tms/stack-election/pull/2

nicael

Great we have bounties for such cases.

user315433

I usually delete my comments in such a case, and leave with a Parthian downvote.

Quill

I feel bad doing that

@nicael nearly a month's worth of uninterrupted pings..... do we have a badge for that?

nicael

@Book But OP looks so desperate :(

I remember a user called MichaelT. Seems to have removed their account network-wide...

user315433

Yes. He left Meta first, and then the rest of the network.

Quill

Wasn't that the Programmers guy?

nicael

@Quill Yep.

user315433

I agree, but am more concerned that no one prompted the asker for the information needed to make the question better (either for our site or for migration somewhere else).

It is key to lead by example. programmers.stackexchange.com/q/312743 programmers.stackexchange.com/q/312761 programmers.stackexchange.com/q/312721 . I'm tired and done. Its someone else's turn now. Go through the recently closed list, check to see where there is confusion and better guidance for users. Thats what the 10k mod tools are for. — user40980 Mar 14 at 23:39

user315433

"It's someone else's turn now" is also my position concerning Math.SE. I'm done with its review queues and meta matters.

user315433

10:36 PM

Though I'm not deleting my account. :)

nicael

Deleted one already ;)

user315433

Many more than 1.

nicael

Lol why?

When I'm tired of SE, I could log out for a month or so and log back in when I want.

on the subject of Programmers, I recently found out I have FP review privs from some freak accident HNQ answer I gave a while back. I've been trying to max out my queues (there's usually like 300 FP to review) and I'm at about 187 for 15 days, which apparently is about half the max I could be on, but still

@gnat might help if several active 10k users didn't either quit or just decide to neglect the site recently.

Tim Stone

@Bookend Hm Hm Hm. Yes, that needs fixing. I've enabled the election manually in the meantime.

(thanks @hichris123)

@Quill There was some concern I had that I meant to test and then…didn't? So either it wasn't important or I'll remember, but I'll figure it out one way or another this week. Feel free to bug me especially about things like PRs since I should action those in much more reasonable timeframes

Quill

meh, if they're not breaking changes, then don't really worry about timelines
