Yeah, right.
@Walt that's been true for a while. It's a tease: Disqus still makes you create a Disqus account after pumping whatever other service you authenticate with for your info.

Q: How to make a relationship more romantic?

10 RepliesI was in a relationship with a female, went out on several dates (more than 3), but, nothing exciting happened. We didn't break up, we just kind of stopped talking to each other. About a year later (now minus a week or so) she asked if I wanted to "hang out." I agreed since I still liked her and ...

user315433

On one hand I understand PC concerns, on another... this is an ugly use of the word, imo.
ESL maybe?
user315433
Doesn't seem so, my impression was that the OP doesn't feel like choosing between "girl" and "woman".
user202362

Tempted to answer that with a Shawn special
> As far as strategies go, I try to come up with a really funny joke to break the ice. "A SQL Query walks into a bar and goes up to two tables. 'Mind if I join you?'" If a girl (or guy if you are into that) doesn't laugh, I know right away they haven't worked with SQL. Maybe they're old school and know some assembly or whatever, but most programmers have touched SQL at some point and should get it.

Why does a link to SO post redirect to Meta.SE only to show 404 there?
user315433
2:12 AM
(Under 10K, I mean)
because it was migrated to MSE and then deleted

But that ought to mean that migration is rejected, and redirect is pointless.

Looks like that guy doesn't understand the meaning of infinity... so weird.
@Telkitty but as for your question, answer is obvious...
user202362
and ... the answer is?
How come Smokey didn't catch this? ^
@ShadowWizard True infinity is hard for the human mind to grasp
We haven't evolved with a concept of infinity. For us everything has limits and ends.
@Magisch even my children understand that infinity can't be counted.
and that it's "bigger than the biggest number", etc.
Anyway, daily rant: Stack Overflow is no longer part of Stack Exchange network, at least not where design is involved. It looks totally different from all other sites. Maybe they are ashamed of the other sites, dunno.
I wonder when they will remove anything that is related to Stack Exchange from Stack Overflow, so that people won't suspect it's part of such a network?
</rant>
user202362
am I the only one finding this funny?
what is the maximum number of votes we can cast within a minute?
user202362
without getting yourself banned suspended that is?
what?
6:57 AM
@SagarV the maximum number of daily votes. Votes are not rate limited by time.
@Telkitty won't happen, one can write script that use all daily votes in an instant (e.g. making array of post ID's to vote), and pretty sure no alarms will be triggered.
@ShadowWizard My script made 40 ajax requests and only 4 are successful
Since votes is the most important feature of SE, they didn't want to limit it in any way.
Remaining all are failed
@SagarV you should wait for one to succeed before making the next.
Otherwise you trigger race conditions behind the scenes.
Still, 40 such votes shouldn't take more than few seconds.
Use recursive function that calls itself in the success callback. @Sag
If that fails, well, what's the error?
Also @Sag I really hope you don't just vote randomly? That's bad.
the script prompt me how many upvotes and how many downvotes it should cast. When I input it, it will start running. Working on questions/ page only
that is if I am in the featured tab and set 20 Upvotes + 20 downvotes, it will run randomly.
7:02 AM
@SagarV so random questions voting? Please do NOT do that.
I am testing this feature
This is the most harmful thing for SO.
I have to improve it in such a way that If a question has more than 2 downvotes, it should cast a downvote
If a question has more than 3 upvotes, it should cast an upvote.
@SagarV again, stop doing that.
I don't want to flag you, as the only way to stop such bad and destructive behavior is suspension.
What is the problem with this one _I have to improve it in such a way that **If a question has more than 2 downvotes, it should cast a downvote
If a question has more than 3 upvotes, it should cast an upvote_**
7:04 AM
@SagarV that's the worst thing I've ever seen. Like I said DO NOT DO THAT, period.
It's bad in so many aspects, and against everything SE stands for.
You should vote after reading a post, based on your own opinion.
I'm amazed I have to explain this.
In SO, I spend only 10 - 12 votes per day.
I think I want it in MSO.
Ok no issues.
I should find some other way

@Telkitty probably...
@Telkitty well, the one with boy-ish avatar of course.... plus he's also a troll. ;)
@SagarV you are obviously limited by the amount of posts on any one site, it's not unusual to spend more votes on sites which get more questions ... but really, what on Earth are you actually trying to accomplish?
@SagarV your comment on that question is kind of weird, are you missing a "not"?
shit. I missed a not
I didn't noticed that
@tripleee he said it earlier, a script that automatically downvote any question with score of -3 or less, and automatically upvote any question with score of 4 or more. (running on the /questions page.)
@ShadowWizard I see that much, but I'm trying to ask why

Q: Make links posted by users open in a new window

Gordon GustafsonMost of the time when I follow a user's link, I just want to see their site, look it over, then return to answer their question (not leave SO completely and not come back). Could we make the links users post open in a new window please? EDIT: I originally wanted this implemented because it's wha...

CC @Oded
status-declined
Or did you miss that?
@SagarV What about it? One of thousands of old declined requests. It won't be re-considered.
If you really want it so badly, write a userscript...
Because it is very difficult from Lap
I mean from the touch pad of lap
"Lets take control away from the user, by making links open in a new window/tab. Never mind what they want to do and that there are easy workarounds".
@SagarV so, we should cater for the minority of users by taking control away from the majority?
Ideally, this will be a user preference, like for example the keyboard shortcuts, but it's just not worth the development efforts.
8:41 AM
Sane defaults trump lots of settings/preferences.
yup
That's what userscripts are for. :)
@ShadowWizard want to make one.
really tired of right click -> open
$(".post-text").find("a").attr("target", "_blank");
@Sag ^
Just turn this into a userscript and you're done.
@Oded Ah I like the simple dialog box
Very similar to WinHTTrack's settings wizard
@Oded what are the criteria for matched jobs ? I am just a junior Front end engineer with 6 month experience. And the matches show me jobs for Senior Developer with atleast 5 yr experience
8:49 AM
I don't work on the jobs team. But from what I know - we match what we know about your with relevant jobs. If we don't know your exact details, difficult to match up correctly.
@Oded If we don't know your exact details how do I fill the details? In developer story, I filled all the fields correctly
Guess it's best effort then.

Q: Network Flair uses Stack Overflow profile photo on all sites

Sagar VI recently changed my profile picture and saved it only to Stack Overflow. I included my flair in my profile page in all SE sites.

Probably uses site you have registered on first.
If that is the case, is there any way to change this without changing SO pic?

no. change the image on network flair

any solution @Oded ?

Is there any visible difference between "aged away because the reviewers decided to Leave Open" and "aged away because review never completed"?

The former is considered as "review complete"?

If three reviewers click Leave Open, the existing close votes still remain but begin to age immediately (one vote deleted every day). I consider it as "review complete".

I should leave "flags" out of this, since they'd be marked disputed/declined in the former case.
