4:07 PM
@BhargavRao I know. not only that, the first ever to win the WB twice.
 
Yep
And the title of the "Maddest Ever Hatter"
 
@BhargavRao can you look to see who has gotten an audit on SO, for me?
I'm curious about this user
 
This user hasn't got it -----^
 
@BhargavRao stackeverflow.com/admin/review/audits is didxga on that list?
@BhargavRao I noticed... well that is interesting.
 
@David There's 21 pages of data. Not sure if I can check all of those.
 
4:14 PM
wow you guys have quit a few of those.
how many just during the WB?
 
That is for 1 week. I need to search 2 weeks to cover complete WB 2016
 
400 in a week! wow
ok so nvm that is not it.
 
Yeah.
 
BSE has had 0 in last 30 days
 
I'm sure that it's 2 Reject and Edits.
 
4:16 PM
got to be more to it then that, because I've done many of each type.
maybe skip too?
 
Hmm, Yeah
 
skip is one think I haven't done yet
 
I skip a lot
 
interesting.
wow that just was just a light bulb moment for me.
skips do not show up anywhere!
well this I have to try...
@BhargavRao any guesses on how many?
 
Just a sec, I'll tell you
 
4:20 PM
@KazWolfe by any chance did you skip any reviews yesterday before you got the theylive hat?
 
@David exact 10
The 10th was 10 minutes before I got the hat
 
@BhargavRao 10 skips?
 
Why is the room blue???
 
Yes
 
Who METAed it ???
 
4:22 PM
well that is something
 
@X-27 We painted it blue
 
@BhargavRao light blue
 
well, you chose one of the best shades of the best color to do it in...
 
Yeah, That color of a clear sky on January 1st
 
ok, so lets say you need 10 skips, what is the other part of "only 2 matter"
 
4:24 PM
@X-27 Is it?
 
The meta chatroom theme looks better than the other ones!
@David can you change 8888 to a meta room? :)
 
@X-27 NO!!! we discovered why earlier (read transcript)
 
huh?
 
@BhargavRao edits. that is the only other one that everybody has done
 
uhhhg/ fine.
starts scrolling up
 
4:26 PM
@David yeah, Me too.
 
@BhargavRao see if stackoverflow.com/users/231010/didxga?tab=activity is in any chat and wants to try skipping 10.
 
@David Any user can view the review history.
 
happy new year, guyz!
 
@BhargavRao um... no they can't...
at least, I can't..
 
@pinckerman Happy new year
 
4:28 PM
@BhargavRao no we can't
 
Damn, I can. I think it needs 3k
 
just us normal users, can only see our own.
 
@David 10 skips on Dec 19th.
 
@BhargavRao what user are we talking about?
you?
 
any news about "Like Clockwork"?
 
4:30 PM
@David Nope the one you linked.
@pinckerman vote on 7 days continuously
 
@BhargavRao Ah. thanks
@pinckerman yah, what he just said.
Dec 27 at 4:00, by David
nearly 100% sure it is vote every day for a week
 
thx, I have missed a day then..
(can I have a star, too?)
 
@pinckerman it will be on the meta.
if you want the hat on your home site, you will have to go to a chat there.
 
If I weren't a mod, I'd 100% participate in WB with full zeal.
 
@BhargavRao no reason being a mod has do dampen your fun for the WB
 
4:38 PM
I'm not able to devote my time to answering. There's a lot of poo that needs to be deleted
 
oh I know.
 
There's been 1000 flags today, And it's a "silent day".
On few days, we cross 2.5k flags per day. It's a lot of flags.
 
before I was a mod, I would answer almost every day. Now (when not during the WB) I have gone a month answerless.
 
5:04 PM
"cephalic-accessoires" best tag ever
4
 
@CoffeeandClonazepam yah, that was Wrzlprmft who added the tags.
pretty funny
 
5:29 PM
Hatty New Year everybody!
4
 
Happy new year !!!
 
Happy hatty new year to you as well.
 
Just got They Live
 
@user65768 sigh. good for you.
 
@user65768 and I suppose you have no idea how?
 
5:34 PM
@user65768 could you please post a picture of your review history, with skipped items checked.
 
Best guess? "Improve and Edit" 3 times, "Reject and Edit" twice.
I can't count how many times I did just approve, don't think I skipped or rejected once in the WB period
(reject was going to be my next test but it popped up before)
 
you did not skip any? shoot there goes that theory.
 
Is 'TrendSetter' hat scenario confirmied? 'Change your hat at least once daily for three (UTC) days in a row.'
 
@RezaAghaei That's what I did and I got it.
 
OK, Thanks :)
 
5:36 PM
@RezaAghaei yes, but you have to not check the this site only. and it seams to have to be hats you earned on the site you are changing them.
 
I check stackoverflow only.
 
and all days have to be from the same site.
 
OK, thanks :)
 
Yeah, confirmed, no skips for They live (at least, assuming skips show up on the review queue)
 
@user65768 they don't you have to click the button on the bottom "show skipped"
 
5:39 PM
The clue was 5, only 2 matter, so my guess is you have to have 5 from "Reject and Edit" or "Improve and Edit" (possibly including one of each type).
I don't even see that button, maybe I'm looking at the wrong review queue
 
I am working on a 10 inch laptop and it is not showing the skip option, will try again when I have the bigger computer handy.
 
Ah, there we go.
Yeah, my last skip was Dec 4
And also no plain Rejects
 
hmm interesting. well thanks
 
Also the last 4 before I got it were (in order starting from most recent), Improve, RejectEdit, Improve, RejectEdit
Did one more Improve 16 hours ago with a few Approves in between it.
 
sigh, I really don't know what triggers the crazy hat.
 
5:51 PM
I have been reviewing my normal (high for the site) amount and not gotten the hat yet.
I just added a skip to the mix, as I did not know what way to vote and the option was within reach.
 
6:35 PM
Michael0x2a has TheyLive and has only done five edits
 
6:57 PM
Hi all
 
Where does one go for a ☆?
That'll work.
 
@AlexanderO'Mara depends on who is in the room at the moment, and if they feel like dishing out stars to anyone who asks :)
 
@AlexanderO'Mara well now that we metafied this room, it'll work.
 
Metafied?
 
@AndrewLi you never used meta as a verb?
 
7:03 PM
@David Many times. But what do you mean by metafying a chatroom?
So the chat is on meta?
For the hats. I see.
 
@AndrewLi yep (look in the bottom right corner)
 
On mobile atm. Colors are different
 
Taking a while for the system to give the hat.
 
@AlexanderO'Mara Script runs on the :05 IIRC
So 1 more minute
Nobody will answer my code-golf challenge :(
 
@AndrewLi on Code Golf, if someone can manage to answer with 1 byte, is that a hole in one?
2
^^^ lame pun.
 
7:06 PM
claps
 
@AndrewLi Yep
 
golf clap I hope.
 
The puns ;)
 
56
A: Index of a multidimensional array

DennisAPL, 1 byte ⊥ Test it on TryAPL.

 
Yep! hole in one!
lol
 
7:09 PM
Oh, look, a hole in one while golfing! — QPaysTaxes May 10 at 21:03
 
When should we start bounties to award them on the last day?
 
272
A: "Hello, World!"

FatalizeStuck, 0 bytes Well, can't get shorter than that... An empty program will output Hello, World! in Stuck.

 
@DJMcMayhem Aww! I had literally just copied that link!
 
@AlexanderO'Mara 2nd
at earliest
Latest 8th?
 
@X-27 no, it's called "goddamnit dennis"
it's always dennis
 
7:15 PM
lol
 
 
Guyz star this
 
Congrats
 
@David how?
what'd you do?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ wow
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ not 100% sure all my theories fell flat.
last things I did were improve suggested edits.
I still have no idea, about this hat. its crazy.
no way it is as simple as improve edits, everybody would have it.
but I'm 100% sure it does include improving edits.
 
Happy New Year from india
😃
 
happy new year!
wait it's actually new year for you guys lol
it's only 11:30 on the 31st for me
 
some of us
 
what time is it for you?
 
7:28 PM
12:30. Soon to be 1:30 when I get back home
 
@David then I guess I'm left to review like mad and hope for the best.
 
@AndrewLi are you down near mexico then?
@David did you do anything else then improve edits?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ No, that was for vacation. Back in the states in Denver waiting for a connection
 
YES!!!!!!!
Behold my hideous zombie head!!!!!
 
7:36 PM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ hold on, I'll check
 
8 mins ago, by X-27
@David then I guess I'm left to review like mad and hope for the best.
It worked!!!!
 
Somebody star this
 
@StephenLeppik starred.
 
@X-27 you too? nice. congratulations.
 
@David yah. I just made another account to sugjest edits. (good ones, of course) and then improved them.
 
7:38 PM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ that is what I did. before that I skipped a bunch, but that has since been proven to not matter.
 
If anyone cares, ^^^
 
Might be an unbroken series of improve/rejectand edits?
 
@user65768 I was just going to try doing 10 of each type, but I got the hat after doing just a few improves.
it can't be as simple as "improve 5 suggested edits"
 
In my case I got the hat after two of each improve/reject-and-edit in a row.
 
well I still dont know what triggers it...
 
7:41 PM
Had one improve edit earlier in the day
 
who cares!
lol
 
I do!
not good enough to get all the hats, I want to know how to get all the hats (and bonus points if you know before the blog post)
 
but this does seem a bit unfair to users who don't have review privileges - are they not able to get the hat?
 
betwen me and @X-27 we have found out 4 of the triggers
 
yah, a little bit of ingenuity here and there...
@David and my new pet account!
He was finding lots of posts to edit!
 
7:43 PM
no ingenuity needed, just log out and suggest a boat load of edits.
you made another acc?
 
(I actually just searched for posts containing, "noob," "thanks," and "advance")
 
no shortage there
 
and then edited out the noobness
- Which by no means is abusing the system - those were good edits!
 
ok, ok back to the hat trigger
 
"do lots of stuff on SE"
 
7:45 PM
how many did you do before getting the hat?
 
that is a great trigger
5 mins ago, by X-27
user image
 
@X-27 was already looking. but that does not help me much
I'm almost sure it has to be "do X reviews with some super secret trigger, all in the same day"
 
yah, that sounds about right
but I still kinda like:
2 mins ago, by X-27
"do lots of stuff on SE"
 
I think that was originally my quote.
 
ehh, possible...
 
7:49 PM
TTFN
 
8:02 PM
I can't review edits, does that mean that I can't get a hat?
 
8:20 PM
@10Replies you can't get that hat
 
I guess I will go cry now.
 
8:41 PM
whens new years hat staring start
 
Here, (UTC) in 3 hours 15 minutes
The hat has started 12 hours before.
You may get in on this site in 10 minutes * :)
 
"post a message in chat within ±12 hours of the UTC New Year’s begin that gets starred"
It doesn't work in every chat room, only ones that have an appropriate parent.
 
chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/198/mos-eisley anyone feel like tossing me in mos?

8:58 PM

@David congrats on getting all the hats! :)
 
@Math Yes :)
 
hi

I don't know what's the exact trigger, so I will describe my latest actions just before I got it, in case someone is interested:
* I did a downvote
* I added a comment
* I cancelled my downvote
* I attempted to edit my comment at minute 6
 
9:12 PM

Q: Is 'Mmmm Bacon' hat in poor taste?

frostbiteI hold the stack community to very high standards in everything from technical discussions to being acutely aware of cultural sensitivities. As a vegetarian and animal lover I found the 'Bacon' simply too offensive. I'm keen to hear what the other stack<*>ians have to say.

 
First responder started already?

"post a message in chat within ±12 hours of the UTC New Year’s begin that gets starred"
 
@DavidPostill Cool, let's wait for it then :)
 
10:04 PM
@SouravGhosh You missed the -12 bit. It started 10 hours ago :)
 
10:22 PM
@DavidPostill erm... I meant wait for the hat to appear, it appeared, BTW :)
 
How do you get first responder? Does using mobile chat work?
 
Wait up to ten minutes and tell us
 
I was chatting 7 hours ago, no hat. Someone said it started 10 hours ago...
 
Maybe they missed that you had not yet gotten it and forgotten to star for you
 
Oh, I missed the part about getting a star
 
10:31 PM
@SouravGhosh lol
 
@DavidPostill Wearing it... :)
