@JF chrome for now. I can't cope with too many changes

@Henders expensive, but we have such slow internet here and windows is such a bloated buggy nightmare, I want a high performance machine. I'm tired of waiting half my programming life for my work to sync and compile stuff

Yvette Colomb

this pc is over 3 times faster on the internet and it took me 10 mins to set it up

angussidney

Yvette Colomb

when you set up windows is takes hours to update everything

Henders

@YvetteColomb Yeah, I see no issue with that. I had the same experience when I bought my MacBook Pro. It was a big expense but now ~ 5 years on its still a pretty solid workhorse!

CalvT

@YvetteColomb Not Windows 10

Yvette Colomb

@Henders good to hear :)

CalvT

I'm on a Surface Book and honestly it beats a Macbook 13"

Yvette Colomb

@CalvT still painful, the updates are intrusive. I used this little mac air and it was quicker than my windows machine - the machine had . ssd and good specs

ah ok, the surface machines are supposed to be good. I looked at getting one

CalvT

It even has a kind of "Magsafe" :)

Yeah, sorry, @CalvT I meant what is the criteria for removal. That user posted an answer saying 'Help me help help me.. ' etc on their own question yesterday. Glor removed so I wondered if there was a rule of thumb for when people could get removed from the list.

Also, if you submit fp- feedback via chat, they'll get removed automatically. Or so I thought, I can't remember the details.

Q: Can a machine be taught to flag comments automatically?

TL;DR: Yes it can. Background On June 27, 2014 Skynet awoke. It looked at Stack Overflow and thought "Why are all these people being so chatty and talking about obsolete things? I should nuke them all!" Fortunately, Skynet was a baby and only had access to my 100 comment flags a day. Prior ...

A large majority of my flags are comment flags. But, I'm active at flagging posts on SO too

So, for me this is spam:

A: Where can I listen to authentic Fado in Lisbon?

I think the only way to enjoy a true fado evening is with a local because even the good places have different musicians/singers in each day. And also the places where Portuguese fado enthusiasts go aren't listed. Go to www.fatum.pt or www.facebook.com/fatumlisboa so that you may have the chance ...

New user registers and posts about their company.

I would be inclined to report it to smokey.

@JoErNanO careful

generally, unless there's an exceptional reason, don't deal with moderator stuff off-site

JoErNanO

@ArtOfCode I agree. I will ignore this email and maybe even delete it. This has nothing do to with my job and should not be on my professional communication.

ArtOfCode

I tend to reply to stuff like that with "I won't discuss my moderation via email; if you'd like further detail or explanation, post a question on Travel Meta".

JoErNanO

Good idea.

ArtOfCode

basically only so that they can't say "ArtOfCode is evil and ignored me", but yeah :)

JoErNanO

Yeah but @ArtOfCode is evil.

So no harm done.

:)

Henders

Yeah, fair point.
