@HyperNeutrino you're not alone

ArtOfCode

Smokey's still reporting, and metasmoke's still secure. Therefore, not critical :P

Thomas Ward

14:13

There are some issues with MetaSmoke currently, so some functions such as manual reporting or accessing MetaSmoke post records may not function properly. We're aware of the issue and working on it.

@ArtOfCode I'll let you explain that to SOCVR which likes to report posts a lot :P

Locutus of Borg

@ByteCommander @HyperNeutrino tsk tsk, y'all should hurry up and become blue

Byte Commander

I tried a year ago.

HyperNeutrino

See I have like 0% chance of becoming mod because the only site I have like any rep on is Code Golf and we are in no need of new mods or re-election.

Byte Commander

I think I was 5th or so...

HyperNeutrino

I've never even tried because I've never had any chances lol.

Thomas Ward

@ByteCommander where?

Magisch

I'm only really active on the workplace and SO

HyperNeutrino

If I ran I might get like 10th idk depends on who else runs

Magisch

And there is a fat chance in hell that I'll become mod on either

Byte Commander

@ThomasWard AU of course.

HyperNeutrino

I wouldn't be eligible either because I've been suspended in the past year, though by the time we have another election that will be the past (side note: since I asked for the suspension, does it still count? I assume yes)

Mithrandir

14:16

@HyperNeutrino i doubt it

HyperNeutrino

huh

Mithrandir

it just warns you, not actually blocks you afaik

Byte Commander

You took my place.

AU Mod election results 2016

HyperNeutrino

really? huh

The thing is Code Golf is still a pretty small site compared to some of the others because we don't often get new users who stay lol

Thomas Ward

@HyperNeutrino if you were suspended at your own request that'd have been logged in the system and likely annotated by a moderator as to why you were suspended.

not sure if that would directly impact ya

Mithrandir

in Contact, May 8 at 20:05, by Beastly Gerbil

just a thought

Magisch

iirc the thing that un-nominates you if you've been suspended in the past year is automatic

HyperNeutrino

@ThomasWard Ah okay. Dennis did warn me that my suspension message would still just say "suspended by moderator" without additional annotations but idk

Thomas Ward

"extenuating circumstances"

HyperNeutrino

hm

Thomas Ward

14:18

@HyperNeutrino then the moderator didn't put additional annotations on your account :P

but meh whatever

yawns

Glorfindel

@Magisch nope, that's a manual action by a CM.

Magisch

@ThomasWard Lacking coffee?

HyperNeutrino

I'm pretty sure there were no additional annotations but I have no idea. The only two I've seen are "suspended by moderator" and "automatically suspended for suspicious voting"

Magisch

suspend all the things

Thomas Ward

Thomas Ward

@Magisch not intentional. Insomnia and very loud neighbors who I had to call the cops on. (Again)

HyperNeutrino

lol I can't recall the last time having slept 8 hours in a night

last night I slept about 5.5

Magisch

Why is it that developers chronically sleep too little

HyperNeutrino

@Magisch because coding > sleep /s

Magisch

14:21

8h minimum or gtfo

ArtOfCode

5h maximum :P

Magisch

Thats actually ridiculously unhealthy long term

Not sleeping enough makes you fatter, more depressed, less motivated, less accurate and generally less productive

SmokeDetector mostly scans posts from new users.

bwDraco

There is a bit of CPU steal on my Linode instance, albeit not much.

Not sure if Linode is overreporting CPU load, though.

Glorfindel

@bwDraco I didn't know that (just that some spam detection rules were only enforced for low-rep users), but I still think the spam posts make up a negligible fraction of all posts by new users. And I'd expect those to follow the general daily usage pattern of Stack Exchange, which means 'peak hour' is 7am - 11pm UTC (IIRC).

Did we fix the deploy/master thing? That's most likely caused by MS going down

Thomas Ward

@quartata It should be fixed now, yes.

quartata

@angussidney did you see my message about allspam btw?

Thomas Ward

Namely because any error will result in going back to the deploy branch

quartata

15:16

I don't know much about the SE api but it's probably just a typo'd key

@ThomasWard ohhh that's what that gitmanager stuff was about

taking a peek right now

Thomas Ward

@quartata yep. gitmanager handles adding to the blacklist, etc.

quartata

That should also fix when blacklisting fails it staying on the auto blacklist branch

Thomas Ward

that's the idea

quartata

you could maybe make it a finally clause so that you don't have to repeat it after success

woops tripleee beat me :(

Thomas Ward

@quartata true, however that's why I only threw it into the exception section

quartata

15:19

interesting, looks like the codecov bot edits its report comments

that's convenient

Thomas Ward

@quartata it won't work there.

@tripleee @quartata It won't work that way

> @tripleee maybe? But what we're missing is that there's a return called for errors. See the next commit. Every error case needs to issue a return. Such return calls, whether in finally or not, trigger the end of the function. So it'd never get seen. That's how we get the chat messages back to the system, that return.

To properly report things back her,e we have to return a tuple

True OR False (for success status), and the chat message to report back.

quartata

finally triggers on return too

Thomas Ward

that return call has to happen (see the commit after the ones you commented on) in order to get error messages back here.

@quartata Not from what I've seen.

quartata

>>> def f():
...     try:
