@SmokeDetector @Ferry if you type them without the http:// then you get more accurate results
that one isn't blacklisted

@ArtOfCode Thats a great tip, only if copy website url removed the http prefix, I'm going to blacklist all 3 websites

Q: Real Mithril. .. New material fantasy based

Diego EmilianoI have access to real Mithril my friend, it's a nanotec new material EXACTLY THE SAME AS U CAN SEE AT LORD OF THE RINGS !!!! please take a look at my YouTube channel and see for your self... it's made of steel. . Harder than titanium, light as aluminium, stainless, blue and silver Gray, flexibl...

 
@Randal'Thor If you do !!/report <website url> then it will be broadcasted by smokey, and we safe a copy of it for future improvements of smokey
 
@Ferrybig There's no actual URL in the question.
 
@ArtOfCode Chat is really broken for me, I keep getting ping spam from smokey and you
 
@Ferry same here
@Randal'Thor post url, not website
 
@Randal'Thor Post 1: Could not find data for this post in the API. It may already have been deleted.
 
@SmokeDetector Well, yes, because I nuked it first.
 
that'll be why
Likewise you lot: if chat is dying on you, IRC is available as a temporary solution: stage.artofcode.co.uk port 6667 channel #chq
 
@ArtOfCode It might just be replying to messages that's broken.
 
potentially, though it seems more widespread
some of my messages seem to have been posted, but don't appear to me
only to others
@Undo what happens if you analyse tech support titles from HR? I'll go grab some

@Ferrybig CI build is still pending, wait until the build has finished and then pull again.
 
still tiny samples... the API isn't giving me everything for some reason
 
!!/pull
 
Restart: API quota is 3812.
 
gonna file a bug for that API thing
Okay, not gonna file a bug - it's doing what it's meant to and not returning deleted posts.
@Undo so that's why the API isn't returning more than 570 rec questions on SO - the rest are deleted.

oh shush
 
@ArtOfCode No harm was done, this time
 
5:55 PM
indeed
advantage of admin status: can invalidate feedback if I get it wrong by accident
 
@ArtOfCode That's a great way to improve your invalid feedback amount
 
yep
well I am at around 0.6%, so I'm not overly concerned there
you know you've done something pretty wrong when you get a stack overflow in JS

@Undo can you run some queries for me?
Looking for the average, max and min length of (a) tp'd posts with 'eltima' in the body; (b) fp'd posts with the same

@ArtOfCode yuck
 
indeed
(I've got the stats for tp'd posts now)
 
@ArtOfCode still need?
 
@Undo probably not, actually :)
Most of the way there with JS
 
lol, okay :P
Wish I had NAAs too
 
Noting that eltima tp's are generally shorter than eltima fp's
and wondering if we can't do something with that fact
For fp'd posts:
> amax(lens)
2230
> amin(lens)
104
> aavg(lens)
1041.75
> aavg_wo(lens)
750
For tp's:
> amax(lens)
1728
> amin(lens)
178
> aavg(lens)
463.8857142857143
> aavg_wo(lens)
409.42857142857144
 
7:28 PM
graph of lengths, tp on the left and fp on the right
so if we set the length limit for eltima right around 800... how does that sound?
 
Seems sane

Makes sense, those'd be broad questions

@ArtOfCode CI build failed! :( Please check your commit.

sad trombone
 
how did I break it this time
I broke a lot of things... KeyErrors everywhere.
 
7:55 PM
yay, CI is working!
 
so, um, how did I manage to create KeyError: 'stripcodeblocks' for every single rule?
Gotta say, it'd be useful if pytest gave you a full stack trace...
 
Good Luck in solving :)

8:07 PM
So who should I report a metasmoke UI issue to?
 
@NathanOliver me or @Undo. Drop it in here, one of us will get to it :)
 
@ArtOfCode you can probably just use a regex for that instead of a method check.
 
Okay. Looks like I cannot reproduce it anymore but for a little bit the height of the rows for the invalidated feedback was smaller for the top of the list then the bottom. It is fine now so maybe it was something on my side.
 
@NathanOliver I'm seeing it. It depends on the width of your screen - I'm not sure if there's anything we can realistically do about that. It expands the rows to fit all the text in.
@hichris123 you can? <750 chars and contains 'eltima'? I couldn't come up with one

@ArtOfCode Oh, OK. Thats fine then. I thought I might have gone even more crazy.
 
@NathanOliver well, you did, but I'm crazy enough to see it too.
 
@ArtOfCode For sure you can do before/after with .{0,x}
 
yeah, I thought about that, but I couldn't figure out a way to make the keyword fit anywhere in the string and still constrain to 750
 
8:19 PM
When you realize you've had that script on all day
 
oh, the xkcd one? Got a link?
 
no, but googling 'xkcd userscript' should work
That's why subtle things were confusing the heck out of me today
 
@ArtOfCode Just check how many characters are usually before/after it. Probably 700 before + 100 after would work
 
deleted, that thing's a little dangerous for me to be running :P
 
@hichris123 there's no common pattern

BAHAHAHAHAHA
I just ran a recursive thing on my bad question list, so it counts all relationships, not just to root
First two:

@ArtOfCode Doesn't matter, you can do {0,300} and that's anything in between 0 and 300.
