@Henders That's the part of ads I don't understand, it makes me less likely to buy something, since I already decided I don't want to interact with that website anymore
@Ferrybig Brand recognition though - If I do decide in the future to go climbing, I'll probably visit go ape first because I know the name. (And I hear the employees in some of their branches help to fight spam here so... )
Angry noises about the Audit Queue! Decent gramatically correct useful relevant and secondary education level academic answers from very high reputation users are supposed to be deleted.
Hey @Mithrandir thanks btw for your edits to the auto comments - I was the one that pieced them together from SOCVR's so feel a bit responsible for them - what you did is something I should have done in the first place
This audit answer is supposed to be deleted: stackoverflow.com/review/low-quality-posts/19044580 It looks a lot worse from this link, because it has downvotes and the latex equation is raw. But in the audit it looks a lot better.
I guess the point is that you can't just base audits on quality, you have to research backstory.
Heh funny, there is the post by @ArtOfCode on the meta and below it the post by tim post about benevolent bots. Gives the impression of people talking but not listening to eachother heh.
@Chris_Rands In a sense, sort of. You'll still be on Stack Overflow, you'll still see the public Q&A, you'll just also see the private team stuff and additional navigation options. So from the UX point of view, you're still on SO, it's just that private content is very clearly differentiated. Now, if your organization favored lots of subjective questions, then you would sort of feel like you were on another site. I think it depends on perspective. SO For Teams is designed for teams too small for a whole private instance, so sort of like a site .. no single good answer here :) — Tim Post ♦1 min ago
When you use Stack Overflow to solve some of your problems, you begin wanting to use it for everything. We've often said that Stack Overflow isn't a place for everything that programmers want to do and talk about, but we've always wished that we could make it easier for teams of engineers to bet...
TL;DR: We get alpha access. We own our content; SE owns Channels; we license our content to SE to use within Channels. Any feedback (including usage data) we give or generate is not confidential and our ownership of it gets assigned to SE; SE has to ask if they want to use our logos or text feedback in public materials. Don't be a dick or our access gets revoked. No warranty; no liability; backup your data.
I'm gonna trim banana-for-monkey and corn-for-horse down to just one of the two so that the tags fit on two lines still

On Mobile Chat there's this nice little tab that shows the number of participants currently in the room:
Would be nice to get have something like that for web that said:
"40 Users" (and it can be linked to the Currently in room page).
So I bought licorice from jumbo which is sugar free. advice, don't eat as many as you would eat if they had sugar, otherwise you'll get intimate with your toilet for a while. Bloody sweeteners

According to this post, I thought the new recaptcha API was used network-wide.
Though today, when going to SEDE (which for whatever reasons never recognized me automatically), I got this message instead of a usable captcha image.
V1 Unsupported

I found a paper on an indexing scheme for regex queries, but I doubt it'll be very useful since we don't really have a fixed set of regexes we search for
(it literally solves an optimization problem in that regard)
@quartata trigram indexes can speed up regular expressions from what I read, and while they don't work for all kinds of regular expressions, they're not restricted to a fixed set
-F, --fixed-strings
Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings (instead of regular
expressions), separated by newlines, any of which is to be
matched.
