@Wanted no, that site is not for programming questions; stackoverflow is for programming questions
 
@MarcGravell What they really want is a Hindi StackOverflow...but good luck explaining that, and even better luck (to them) getting it to area 51 and launched.
 
12:30 PM
what is this I don't even
 
There are many Indians who don't have command on English but they can communicate better in Hindi and explain and solve issues in Hindi language
 
What is the probability that you find an engineer that works in the domain/programming language that you asked the question on && knows Hindi && knows the right answer to your question?
 
That can be a any issue or children issues, house wives issue,farmer issue or villager issues
Here in this room people are chatting in Hindi and they are asking question and getting their solution and solving issues also
 
lol house wife issues? that is so sexist.
 
It can be of cooking,Interior design,anything
Many Indians chat in Android room and they solve their issues very well
 
12:38 PM
Can't you just focus on something specific? You are creating an Hindi version of Yahoo answers on StackExchange.
 
let me state simply: if the site doesn't stay on topic, it will be closed
the topic is not "all questions, in hindi"; it is "hindi, the language"
 
Jepp
 
@Manjot there is a negative side to that, of course; in terms of both the audience to help answer the question, and the audience who can benefit on the long-tail, it is ... limiting.
I suspect this one is far too vague - what is the topic?

Q: Hindi Language and Usage

ManjotSinghMany Indian users face problem in asking question in English,So for better Q&A developers,children,families,farmers,villagers etc can ask there question in Hindi or English both.

 
2 hours ago, by tombull89
@Manjot ...which implies discussion of the language, NOT discussion in Hindi...
 
this one is tricky - a: what are children and farmers doing on a programming site, and b: there is a huge crossover with an existing site:
 
12:44 PM
What are French and German,Japanese & Usage chat rooms?

Hindi Language & Programming Q&A in Hindi

Proposed Q&A site for many Indian users face problem in asking question in English,So for better Q&A developers can Programming Q&A in Hindi,children,families,farmers,villagers etc can ask there question in Hindi or English both.

Currently in definition.

they are chat rooms about those sites, whose topic is the language and usage
etc
 
Methinks the three of them just want an alley to hang out.
 
@Manjot please look at the questions on those sites - they have a definite topic
 
what are children and farmers doing on a programming site?
 
12:47 PM
Hey, Apocalyptic Defense had a topic!!! [ducks]
 
> Hindi Language & Programming Q&A in Hindi
Proposed Q&A site for many Indian users face problem in asking question in English,So for better Q&A developers can Programming Q&A in Hindi,children,families,farmers,villagers etc can ask there question in Hindi or English both.
 
my above was quoting from the proposal
 
What is the aim of this room?
 
words utterly fail me.
the fail is strong with this one.
 
12:48 PM
nope the derp is strong with this one.
 
well, this is meta.stackoverflow - it is pretty much everything SE/SO really, but also a hangout for the people who care enough about SE/SO to spend lots of time on meta
 
4 hours ago, by Wanted
in Opportunity, 19 hours ago, by Jeff Atwood
per faq "This site is an extension of Meta Stack Overflow, so discussion should more or less revolve around the same topics you'd find at Meta Stack Overflow." This room does not discuss Meta Stack Overflow or issues affecting the Stack Exchange network.
then why did Opportunity room get deleted?
 
@Manjot I think that one was pruned due to inactivity, actually
 
because, as I said earlier, you're talking about programming on the M.SO site.
 
no, it was killed for being unrelated to meta
this room is about meta
we are, are we not, RIGHT NOW discussing SO/SE/etc? i.e. "meta"
 
12:54 PM
@TimPost It was not inactive,you can check transcript
The main aim is to make the site of Hindi Language & Usage
 
@Manjot Marc would know better than I. The last few times I glanced over the room list this past week, I didn't see anyone active there (which is why I assumed inactivity)
 
To help people those who don't have command in English Language in any aspect.
 
@Manjot - for that, there is English language & usage. A site on Hindi language and usage would be for people who want to learn or discuss the Hindi language.
 
@Manjot fine, then propose a site that is about "Hindi Language and Usage" - but what you really want, if I read between the lines, is "stackoverflow in hindi; a programming Q&A site in hindi".
 
Exactly
 
12:58 PM
(A bit of history: A bunch of users got suspended/banned from SO/SO chat for being gormos . So Manjot used the Tavern to ask programming questions. Then when he was told not to ask the same question over and over again. He created that room. )
 
Because If you will see last 3 month or 4 month transcript of Stack Overflow chat rooms
Exactly Reno
 
Thanks @Reno - if it helps, we can easily ban people here too ;p
@Manjot then propose that, and remove all trace of "Language and Usage" - but that is not a trivial thing, and competes directly with an established site
 
When People are getting solution for their questions in Hindi Language then Where is the issue?
 
I suspect it will be hard to make that fly, personally - but who knows
 
People are flagging the message those are being written in Hindi
Ok,What do you want now?My intention to make the site of Hindi Language as German,French and Japanese have as there are many Indians on SE those who don't have good command on English.
 
1:01 PM
which, where? (no context here...)
that isn't the issue. You are missing the point
The German site discusses German the language
The Japanese site discusses Japanese the language
 
Ok,tell me Why did questions down-voted?
I tell you
1.Repeated Question.
2.Poor Explanation or missing explanation as user don't know English properly.
But What if he wants to explain or solve their issue in Hindi,German,French etc.
 
I'm not going to go around in circles. Propose what you will propose; I'm just telling you that a "Programming Q&A in Hindi" will face challenges. I'm not saying it can/can't be done.
 
The German and Japanese sites are not for solving problems in that language. They are for discussion of the language.
 
Or their must be some option to ask question in any language,User should be able to choose their respective language
 
They have done that. 200 years in the future. True story.
 
1:06 PM
@Reno Don't joke or use memes, it goes over their head.

Q: Addition of the Translate Web Element to the proposed site

Amith kkProposal: Hindi Language & Programming Q&A in Hindi Id like to suggest that this proposed site is given the Translate Web Element by Google HTML: <script> function googleTranslateElementInit() { new google.translate.TranslateElement({ pageLanguage: 'en', multilanguagePa...

 
didn't they shut down that API?
 
I don't have much idea about it.
 
@tombull89 word. The android incident was triggered by bunnies. I'm not even joking.
 
@Reno bwahahaha. of all the things...
 
1:12 PM
Has anyone visited City of Djinns?
 
-_-
 
I saw many bunnies their :D
 
You stole pics from my dailybooth ?
You are not my first stalker tho.
 
No I was searching bunnies on Google and I got it :D
Looking smart
 
yep because Google thinks me holding a book == bunnies
 
1:19 PM
>_<
 
thank you .... o_o
 
@Manjot wut.
 
wtfirday?
 
seriously: WUT.
 
Nothing,Tomorrow is Friday
 
1:21 PM
That is my picture (stolen from my dailybooth account) which is now private :(
 
@Reno well the picture isn't any more...
 
and I wonder why that could be....
 
@tombull89 WUT
 
no. Just...no.
 
1:24 PM
@Manjot Don't post my pics on here or the internet. Just because you want to diss me.
 
I want to meet you
 
That is every stalkers dream come true innit ?
 
Hope,with the grace of GOD I'll meet you
Don't worry I don't know Ninja and neither I play chegy weggy :P
I am not from list of Stalkers.
 
...the f***?
 
Seriously,WUT
 
1:27 PM
@Tim, sorry.
 
@Manjot Seriously, chill out.
 
Ok
Tim,Can you tell me why follow count is not increasing?
As my friends are following that proposal.
 
@Manjot has it been a few hours since they followed it? You might just be seeing cached data
 
Is it so?But I am using incognito window,there is no cache and cookies stored in it.
 
A good note to all, community moderators (even Trilogy mods) do not have special access to Area 51 - only devs and our fine community coordinators can see / do special stuff there.
@Manjot the data may be cached server side
 
1:31 PM
Oh! I see,Then this is an error/bug
 
@Manjot probably not, followers need not update in real time (likely) .. it's probably by design. You can bring it up on meta if you like, provided you don't see a similar question.
 
Ok
 
@jcolebrand Sure enough, it's gone poof.
 
Anyone using a Nokia tried the beta mobile theme?
It looks considerably different on my E-5 (color wise) than it does on my wife's HTC Hero
Or, is that just what I get for trying to browse pages using an E-5?
 
2:16 PM
8.5K on StackOverflow \O/
 
1.5K away from all of the glorious 10k tools that will make you say WTF 20 times an hour :)

like a good site does
(reference to that good code vs bad code comic)
 
The real reason I ran for moderator is because Hulo is blocked in my country.

lol

"Google must be run by psychics at this point": http://t.co/XfrfDH6
@PopularDemand sure enough, so are the pins ;)
JOBS! Our @geeknet_inc overlords need Sysadmin http://j.mp/q5k9o3 NOC manager http://j.mp/o3zLip & TG HQ Perl still open http://j.mp/pRHLAb
 
I don't know if I could get work done if I had access to that many toys.
Hahah : "Warning: Using your browser's Back and Forward buttons may produce undesirable results.", I think they need a programmer too
 
I don't doubt it
 
Sometimes I wish I didn't have a search column for "stack overflow" set up in my TweetDeck...
@patrick_mc you'll be pleased to hear that stack overflow gave me an erection today.
 
That's ...
 
I don't know who patrick_mc is, but I'm not pleased by that news at all.

Wait, is there an esoteric language where erection is a keyword?
 
@TimPost i hope not
 
@TimPost Maybe , if you're into morse code?
 
@balpha I'm surprised that person didn't show up in my search for "helenos"

Q: Can the twitter link on public betas stop the title before 140 chars are used?

jcolebrandCan the twitter link on public betas stop the title before 140 chars are used? (title = 100 chars, t.co link + spaces = 21 chars, freespace after all that = 19 chars) So for instance here's an example Q: This question only exists to serve a point because I'm demonstrating something for a me...

Has this already been FRd?
 
The Twitter button appears on all non-Triology sites by the way.
 
oh yeah, it does
 
There's also a link below questions on all sites.
 
boom, updated
ok, but it's evident on the non-trilogys
whatever, we're almost at five, if you want to edit it you can too :p
So anyways, there's also the matter of I know you looked into it yesterday, but I'm curious if it has been filed before
 
Well, I just assume the link behaves the same way, but it's not done exactly the same as the button, so thought you might want to mention it too. I don't use Twitter, so I don't care :P
Oh, I already checked for you yesterday, I didn't find anything.
 
3:34 PM
ok cool
so now it's official
 
Admittedly I only half-searched, but that's probably good enough, right? ;)
> What feedback is necessary to escalate this bug? One would think that, seeing as text-shadow has been stable for quite some time, this would be seen as a serious defect.
 
I only used the titlebox
 
Yeah, the text-shadow issue is definitely not as serious of an issue as the resubmitting-iframe, but sure.
I'm always amused when people decide that the bugs that impact them are SuperSerial.
 
3:52 PM
followup to the "erection" question from earlier:
@patrick_mc @jcolebrand we found the exact question we had, wrd 4 wrd rgrdng Zend XML RPC and http auth. with a succinct and useful answer.
 
XML RPC, hmm? So he didn't get REST after his erection...
 
facepalms
 
The first person that attempts to relate USB anything to that tweet gets kicked from chat.
... and placed directly into a focused product testing group
BTW, I strongly suspected PHP was involved since the user reported an erection.
 
It's here It's here!!!
I thought it was gonna be all hard, but it's not, it's kinda soft and limp ...
 
Doesn't that kind of defeat the point?
 
4:07 PM
I can't believe two diamond mods, one of them a dev actually encouraged this.
 
uploading pics now
 
OH DEAR GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
@TimPost you don't know what I'm talking about do you?
 
@TimPost This is Meta, so I can.
 
Meta means .. manhood?
 
4:09 PM
@TimPost meta means ... MURDER
I thought it was gonna be hard plastic of some'n
 
Yeah, even in the first picture it looks a lot less solid than it did in the Amazon photo.
 
and it's kind dirty, but it came all the way from .cn
I'm going to go wash it in a minute
fortunately I can wash it real good with it being soft ;)
 
You've already picked up the tropical diseases, it's too late.
 
Oh I put it all in my mouth and licked it all over ;) :p
It came from HK actually
 
You've gone too far.
 
4:12 PM
@TimStone I knew you would like that ;)
 
Oh, you should have had me go pick it up for you.
Then I could have taken the vacation I wanted to take, but for reasons of extreme importance.
 
Kev
@jcolebrand what on earth is that?
 
@Kev it's an iphone speaker
 
@jcolebrand I was afraid to ask
 
it goes right on the end and makes a little dock for the iphone and plays the sound louder than it would be otherwise
 
4:15 PM
and?
does ti work?
 
can still use the mic as normally, can still charge it
 
Kev
@jcolebrand looks..... "medical" :/
 
idk yet
gotta go wash it before I try using it
 
for some reason, it grosses me out!
 
allo there Kev on the twit
@Trufa that's cool
 
4:16 PM
Hahah
 
4:42 PM
You know what the problem is when you're just too good?
SO doesn't provide answers anymore.
 
That's when we provide answers to SO instead

As a dev, do I need a quadcore? I think I do
 
$1800 only?
 
I think I should ask for a quadcore
Is that too much?
 
@jcolebrand I've got an i7, so...no. :D
 
I don't see i7 on that list
The box on my desk is a T3500 so ...
 
@jcolebrand you should ask, nay, DEMAND one!
time to queue the latest ep of Top Gear
 
5:34 PM
@jcolebrand It has four physical cores too, so for the purposes of comparison.
 
@TimStone so I need a quadcore. :p
 
No question about it ;)
Hmm, I just got an email with notes about what's been covered so far in a meeting, but I have no idea what meeting it's referring to.
 
So ... is $2k too much to ask for an employer for a workstation with a 22" widescreen (x1050) monitor?
 
Good question. I'd go for it, but I might not be the best person to base those kinds of decisions on.
 
I don't think it's too much to ask either ;)

I came to that after one of my nice answer badges was earned for helping some goofball admin de-leetify passwords.
 
Ah yes, the venerable hunter2. Don't you know we can just copy-paste your asterisks to read your pass, @jcolebrand?

on second thought, that's not a good reason... oh well, nevermind me..
 
6:43 PM
The password I use for junk accounts is so obvious nobody ever guesses it even when I tell them.

Yes. I've done it a few times.
