@tripleee #magic-spells?
 
@tripleee i agree with #magic-spells ^
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Pattern-matching website in answer: Satrix vs Sanlam vs? by Lorenzo Dikian on money.SE
tpu- by doppelgreener
 
hm, #magic-spells is kinda good
although definitely on par with #spellcaster
so, no, I vote against #magic-spells, since we're more used to #spellcaster
 
2:52 PM
#spellcaster is more consistent with what we've caught, IMO
 
either works. the spam is generally about a spellcaster willing to cast magic spells after all.
(or curses)
 
@doppelgreener Isn't ncurses used more widely instead?
 
on rpg.se it's predominantly just "cast a spell to grant you fortune / bring your loved one back / etc"
 
technically, it's the spell caster who is being promoted, not the spells themselves (which might be able to be cast by more than one spell caster)

I'm curious why it raised a NoMethodError (to_f on a Hash object)
Per my understanding, posts.where(xxx).count gives a Fixnum, so a Hash pops up from nothing?
 
naa- by Glorfindel
 
@iBug When you call #count on an AR object that has had #group called on it, you get a hash of {<thing grouped by>: number of things}
So in this case false_positive_count/true_positive_count was a hash of {post_id: # of reasons)
 
Then what's the result of posts.where(...).count?
 
Post.where().count would give you an integer. Post.where().group().count gives you a hash
posts = Post.where.group
posts.count.is_a? Hash
 
post.where(...).count.count looks like an integer
 
@iBug What's post there? Post is the posts model, and posts is the variable that's declared in #set_preview_data.
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad pattern in url body: How to also ftp on all directories ✏️ by Interessante Fakten on askubuntu.com
 
@thesecretmaster My bad, it was posts
 
So posts = Post.where(...).group("posts.id"), then to get @tp_count or @fp_count we were calling posts.count
count on a grouped AR object will return a hash.
 
@SmokeDetector ignore
 
4:32 PM
@Ferrybig Post ignored; alerts about it will no longer be posted.
 
@thesecretmaster Calling #count on the hash gives the desired result?
 
@iBug Hashes don't have a #count method

Hash isn't Enumerable
Or at least, {}.instance_of? Enumerable is false.

Enumerable is a module which is can be included in any class that has a #each method defined.

@Mithrandir Are you still doing that medium thing?
 
@thesecretmaster yes
 
Collecting links to posts and sticking them in a gist and periodically sending it to medium?
 
yes, although i've been a little busy and haven't been working on it for the last few weeks
 
Any idea what your success rate is?

100% when I've actually sent it - I'm just not very good at actually sending it
 
How many posts?
 
several thousand
add ~100 or so to this, for the first gist I sent in

Medium: 3,214 posts suspended, as well as an uncounted number of solitary reports (at least 100)

Ok, thanks!

Was working on a medium scraper script, and that reminded me of your project so I got curious.

I'll take a poke at that, thanks
at a quick glance I think I've got a bunch of those in my current gist already :P

Yeah, I haven't sent this one in yet
 
Oh, OK
Do the medium folks hand review?

i think so
(poor them :P)
 
That sounds fun for them

@EriktheOutgolfer You don't have code privileges, but I've created PR#2370 for you.
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Probably from a deleted MS user, then the SD one from the great duplication (I assume, but haven't checked). BTW: There's a "Something not right?" button on the MS post page (just below the title) that is specifically for reporting problems like this.
 
@Makyen yeah, I will make a report there too, but I'm posting it here so that I get a quicker response, and it's not really private
looks like the plan failed :/
ah, yeah, that button stuck out when I got core privs a few days ago
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Yeah, but there's (now) a review queue for admins that, I suppose, such reports go into. Assuming that the admins are using it, then one would think that would result in the problem being resolved expeditiously.
 
@Makyen are there automatic notifications for admins though? I'm not sure yet
review queues don't tend to give out notifications
 
11:38 PM
@EriktheOutgolfer Is there something that makes it urgent to have this one corrected, as opposed to all the others like it?
But why the need for notifying them?
 
@Makyen nah, just something that made my OCD beep loudly :P since the button is per-post, I'm using it per-post too, and, if we only consider that single post, then it does feel a bit wrong, although I'm pretty sure the button isn't to be used only for ultimate urgency
 
@EriktheOutgolfer The button should be used for "Something not right?" on the post. I was talking (wondering) about you notifying admins here in chat for that post. It just didn't seam urgent enough to notify in here (post is 1 year old & you didn't provide feedback yourself indicating what you thought it should be, other than the FP already there).
 
@Makyen ah, I actually did for the latest report, but I don't usually do for earlier reports
also, Core is something way newer than Reviewer to me, still getting used to it :-)
 
Ah, so you're saying that's the Core of the problem?
 
lol
well, part of it, that's probably why I haven't engaged in very serious usage yet, only careful little steps :P
another part is that it's past 2:00 and I should probably be sleeping rn
^ often causes inactivity of mine
 
11:53 PM
Well, I'd suggest staying away from playing with the JS Data Explorer, as I've managed to crash MS when trying to use it.
@EriktheOutgolfer Only 02:00? But, that's still early. :-)
 
@Makyen woah
point taken
@Makyen if you see me online after 04:00 Athens time, tell me to "go to sleep, idiot" :-)
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Obviously, it wasn't intentional. But, it was... inconvenient.
@EriktheOutgolfer So about 2 hours from now?
 
@Makyen still, woah
@Makyen about 1 hour, but I'll be most probably gone in the next few minutes
Athens time includes a +1 DST ;-)
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Ahh, so it's 02:58 there now.
 
@Makyen yeah, although my laptop insists on being ~a minute earlier
good job Windows 10
