The U&L questions in the Melbourne study are remarkably low quality so far.
 
7:40 AM
@MichaelHomer What Melbourne study?

Q: Project Reduplication of Deduplication Has Begun!

Tim PostWhile announcing the second iteration of the Stack Exchange quality project, I not-so-briefly alluded to a collaboration we're kicking off with the University Of Melbourne. The project presents some very interesting possibilities for us if their model validates as well as is hoped: Knowing ve...

@Mongrel please, make useful edits. Your last two edits were much insignificant, and you edited a posts which really could use a good edit. If you want to edit, do it right, please.
(will it reach him?)
 
doesn't seems to be logged in this chat
 
10:43 AM
@MatthewRock What edits are these?
I don't see many bad ones. I saw one where backticks were used incorrectly, but that's pretty minor.
 
10:55 AM
@terdon adding or removing some thanks or something like that
or some insignificant changes like fixing casing in small subset of post
 
@MatthewRock Yeah, those are minor. Feel free to reject them, but they're also not actively bad as such. I mean, if you have the rep to make such edits directly, editing only to remove thanks is fine. When other people need to review your edits, it's more annoying since it clutters up the queue with minor stuff.
@MatthewRock Fixing casing is fine. That's always a useful edit. Especially for things like lower case i for the pronoun I. That's very jarring.
 
He just made few(five?six?) minor changes in these posts, most of which have thanks removed, which would not bother me, but in one or two cases he added it
and the posts he edited were kind of bad, so that wasn't that helpful
I am a bit nit-picking maybe, but it looked a bit like he was farming rep or something
@terdon and I don't like partial fixing of the casing, because I can't really reject(there is some improvement), don't want to accept(improvement isn't nearly half as good as it could be), so I end up editing the post to improve the edit
I want my time back! ;)
 
@MatthewRock Yeah, I know the feeling :)
@AvinashRedy please see the discussion above. Avoid suggesting minor edits, wait until you have the reputation to make them directly and, when you do suggest an edit, please make sure you've made all the improvements you can and not only some of them.
That should reach him. You can only ping users who've been in a chat room recently. Mods have a super ping that can reach anyone.
 
Oh, good. Thank you.
 
Guys?
 
11:04 AM
I was pinged some time ago in the chat when I haven't been there before and I thought that I could do this mighty ping too :)
 
@MatthewRock Nah, that was probably a mod.
@Junaga Yes?
 
I just asked a question http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/319513/does-a-x86-computer-use-the-pci-bus-and-pci-protocols-to-access-memory
and only after rereading it, well I sorta realised that it actually is off topic af and has nothing to do with Unix
Should I delete it or can someone of you migrate it?
 
@Junaga I doubt it. I don't think it would be on topic there. I think you probably want Super User.
I can migrate if you like, but it's simpler if you just delete it and repost it. That way it will appear as though newly asked on the target site while migrated questions keep their time of posting so it will appear further down the front page.
 
oh, thats nice to know give me a sec I cpoy it
You need at least 10 reputation to post more than 2 links.
...
I just can't
I cut some x)
You can only post once every 40 minutes.
screw it
 
@Junaga I have the rep to do it there. Give me the link.
 
11:15 AM
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/319513/does-a-x86-computer-use-the-pci-bus-and-pci-protocols-to-access-memory
please put it on superuser :)
thanks ^^
I already got a comment for closing x)
 
Done
 
Thanks ^^

The FSB is a thing of the past. It’s even in the Wikipedia article, in the third paragraph. Also, this is more of a Computer Science question. – Daniel B 1 min ago
I'm done
"Computer Science" being a hyperlink to -> cs.stackexchange.com
@terdon You can't migrate it again, or?
nah, I just let it, computer science question, yeah of course, because its not like a question only covering x86 cases. And it's on a hardware level asked.
 
11:54 AM
@Junaga I very much doubt it would be on topic on CS and it is on topic on SU. Ignore them.
Hmm. It might be, but never mind. SU is not too hot on hardware but it is on topic and it doesn't sound as though you want or need an answer at the academic level.
 
Well, its a hardware realted question, It needs to be on topic somewhere on stack xD
 
Hardware questions are explicitly on topic on SU. See superuser.com/help/on-topic
 
12:49 PM
@terdon can confirm SU is full of total tards, wtf. I can't believe how some guy having 5 k rep doesn't know basic stuff I do.
I am pretty sure all experts left the site.
 
@Junaga I bet he knows all sorts of basic stuff you don't know though.
Maybe he's an expert on something you know nothing about.
 
seeing questions like I have FPS drops in battlefields isn't the kind of things you'd like to read as a expert on a Q/A site
 
@Junaga Of course it is! Those are on topic and hardcore gamers are experts on dealing with them. SU is not a site for professionals. In fact, it is explicitly a site for amateur users.
 
I honestly don't try to be a dick or sth^^ but comparing the community of unix to SU it's just ridicules, maybe it's just that Unix is the special case not SU. And to be honest Unix&Linux has the most friendly and intelligent community ive ever seen online
comparing that to stuff like subreddits because that basically are all forums I know and used
 
Well I admit that I have stopped participating on SU for largely those reasons. I'm just pointing out that they are a community that is aiming at the end user. Clueless newbies are very welcome. However, some of the regulars there are indeed very, very knowledgeable.
> And to be honest Unix&Linux has the most friendly and intelligent community ive ever seen online
Well, I'm not going to argue against that. Obviously :)
 
1:10 PM
:P
it's just that: no matter what, it still is named Unix&Linux, so if I have a hardware question even if it's an easy one that I am pretty sure a lot of people here could answer! (Because I know shit about computers) It's not the right place. That is definitely a good thing yes. Just having to ask other communitys that are not nearly as great feels..
not so good
 
I take some time to know where to ask among U&L, SU or ServerFault (or StackOverflow)
and some more time to know not to ask 'it is not working, pease help'
 
@Archemar Yep, that's definitely always annoying.

@terdon There are other good places. TeX SE is as friendly and intelligent, and chat is more active.
And there are good IRC channels out there too.
 
5:22 PM
@MichaelHomer Oh, that.

Congrats on 10K, @Wildcard.
