Q: When cleaning up tags, please use one post per tag so that real community input can be given

Please Don't Let This Happen To Your Site A recent problem surfaced on Meta Super User, where they have one question that they use for tag burnination/cleanup, and they just edit the question every month to a new burn order. This has led to a large amount of upvotes on the post, that are usuall...

This guy...

I'm a little angry right now. More than someone should be angry about an internet thing :P

allquixotic

@OliverSalzburg I feel an XKCD coming on

!!xkcd 386

ChatBot John Cavil

What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!

allquixotic

Why is this on MSO? This is a MSU issue. MSO doesn't tell other sites how to run their community. Other sites -- often for very good reason -- deliberately have different policies than SO. This is intended and expected by SE. All it seems you're doing here is trying to attract attention and shame the SU mods, but your viewpoint is invalid to begin with, because it's based on the false assumption that the post you're referring to is edited without community consensus, when in fact, community consensus is raised in separate questions before the tags are moved to that post. — allquixotic 11 secs ago

I'm going to write some angry code before reading anything on that thread ;P

I'm going to implement all the DELETE actions of this REST API

Journeyman Geek

and.. I got downvoted ;p

Braiam

15:14

wait, I will destroy him with facts :D

Journeyman Geek

I hit 3k on MSO now ;)

@Braiam: I almost pointed out, I have over 1.7K flags and as many edits, when he pointed out he had 4.5K rep

Braiam

there the facts doing their thing

ups, downvote :D

Journeyman Geek

its probably the OP

Braiam

yeah, all post received a autodownvote

terdon

@JourneymanGeek I don't have edit privileges on metaso, could you correctthe edit you made to @Braiam's answer? "Is was not" to "IT was not"

Thanks @Braiam

Braiam

15:29

@terdon forgive him... dogs has no grammar sense :P

terdon

Poor puppy. Though in this case, he did not insert the mistake, just didn't correct it.

Braiam

man, tone down the awesomeness :P

Journeyman Geek

hmm

@OliverSalzburg: should you be giving the cousins at MSO a headsup at the shitstorm that just got blown up?

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek I haven't checked it out yet. But the question already came up earlier in a different context

That Brazilian Guy

How do I set multimonitor wallpapers in Fedora 19 just like I had in Ubuntu 12.04? Anyone has any idea?

Braiam

15:36

@ThatBrazilianGuy you should really ask in UL as I see you have done :P

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek When in doubt, flag it. I can't get involved in it right now :P

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: oh, I mean in general

allquixotic

@JourneymanGeek I think it would be helpful to get a community leader from SE involved... someone like Grace Note

@Braiam But... but the place is so empty....

@JourneymanGeek I don't think I understand what you mean then

Jimmy Hoffa

@allquixotic learnyouahaskell.com/chapters my preference, it's very slow and drab at the beginning, but all of a sudden after going over the basic primitives which feel totally normal and boring, it suddenly starts doing things with them you've never seen before that gives you a headache. It's important you bore yourself through the beginnings though or else when it starts showing more abstract approaches you'll be pretty lost

That Help Vampire Guy

@JourneymanGeek You look like a regular terrier but you have 60k rep... You're no regular dog... What are you? Say it? SAY IT!

allquixotic

@JimmyHoffa good, I like things that move slowly actually, much preferred over something that moves too fast

Jimmy Hoffa

15:48

Was really hard for me because when I started I was so used to just fidgeting in the code to learn a new language or reading a couple tutorials. This didn't work for Haskell, was the first language I had to read a book to get in years...

allquixotic

@JimmyHoffa hey, threading was the first CS concept I had to read a book to learn in years after I learned single-threaded imperative programming

@allquixotic and start using regex to parse html ;)

allquixotic

15:49

I use regex liberally already

Journeyman Geek

lol

Jimmy Hoffa

@allquixotic Haskell's a great deal more than a growing pain... When it started doing more complex things I found myself going to sleep with symbols in my head I had a really hard time rectifying and had the most unpleasant dreams in code ever...hardly slept the first week I really learned Haskell...

Braiam

@OliverSalzburg take some endorphine

O_o

sleeping with code? what happened to the sexy beauties that all guys dream of?

Jimmy Hoffa

@Braiam Most developers occasionally dream in code, usually when they're struggling with some problem that they don't have solved yet, or just happen to be jamming out a ton of code on at a clip because of schedules

allquixotic

@JimmyHoffa I don't dream in code, but when I close my eyes after a full coding session I sometimes see code

Braiam

15:53

@JimmyHoffa you didn't got it, I said sleeping with code

allquixotic

but I always think of GREAT solutions to really troubling programming problems in the shower

Bob

I can't remember any dreams. Unless you count the code thought up and written while dozing slightly, which I now have no idea how it works.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Jimmy Hoffa

@allquixotic I think this is as universal as dreaming in code :P (surprised you've never dreamed in code?)

allquixotic

@Bob this morning I remembered that I dreamt last night about thinking I needed to drink gasoline for some reason, and I wasn't sure if it was bad for me or would make me sick, but there was some instinct inside of me that sort of told me it was probably bad, but I wasn't sure, and I felt a compulsion to drink it because somehow that would help something (?)

Jimmy Hoffa

15:54

Dreaming in code is basically identical to what happens to people in other professions, their job get's stressful or really difficult or they just can't get it off their mind, they go to bed and find their dreams filled with them continuing the work of their day

allquixotic

that's all I remember

Braiam

I've had weird I-am-a-industrial-spy-kind of dream... but never about code

Journeyman Geek

lol

allquixotic

@JimmyHoffa I've had a few dreams I remember where I spent the entire night (what felt like 6 months) fretting over a problem and seeing the same error pop up again and again or similar, and rarely a dream that I fixed it, but never actual code

Journeyman Geek

the wierdest dream I had was I was like this indiana jones girl spy.

allquixotic

15:55

you were a girl? and a spy? of the Indiana Jones type?

Journeyman Geek

though, I dreamt the solution to the end of halflife 2.

@allquixotic: twas awesome ;p

Bob

@JimmyHoffa Except you might actually get something useful out of it :P

Journeyman Geek

also wierd

allquixotic

ever dream that you were pregnant?

Journeyman Geek

since I am very much a male dog with a beard.

5

allquixotic

15:56

I have

Journeyman Geek

nope

Jimmy Hoffa

@allquixotic Yeah that's the same thing. Haskell did this to me except instead of error messages it was a problem I was trying to solve and I couldn't figure out where to use the $ or <$> or <*> or . or >>= or other various what appeared to be arcane symbols, and I couldn't in my dream make heads or tails of any of them so my mind just kept trying to solve problems with them except they were like chinese to my brain. Unpleasant.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Did you have a marathon Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones session or something?

That Help Vampire Guy

I have last week dreamed that I was dreaming, them I dream that I awoke. At the same time I dreamt that I had to wake up, made a physical effort to open my eyes really hard, then I woke up.

...or have I really?

Journeyman Geek

nope

allquixotic

15:58

@ThatHelpVampireGuy I once dreamt that I had to wake up, so I did, in my dream, and I was "awake" in my dream, so I was all happy and satisfied that I was awake, but in reality I was asleep lol

my mind hid the fact that it was asleep from itself :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

Braiam

@allquixotic OMG!

I once dreamt that Cthulhu (the Entity) was lettuce (the concept of the food), and lettuce was Cthulhu, they were the same thing

@allquixotic Yeah the beginnings are really easy, I have no education just a lot of Microsoft development in my background, but those were boring as get out. Though when I tried skipping them I found myself totally lost because the way those basics are used is so bafflingly different from normal

That Help Vampire Guy

@terdon Oh noes, people will now judge me by my (fake) name. .___.

allquixotic

16:10

@JimmyHoffa now, looking back several years (I'm in my late 20s), I kind of wish that I had had the patience to really learn FP in college :((

Jimmy Hoffa

allquixotic

I had the opportunity, it was right there, but I more or less BSed my way through it, and I know it, because when I learn things for real, I can retain them for a decade or more

I still know single-variable calculus like the back of my hand because I got A's in Calculus 1 and 2 after trying very hard in those classes

but I haven't actually practiced it for years

terdon

@ThatHelpVampireGuy There goes your reputation...

Braiam

@allquixotic read the answer

that comment has more upvotes than the answer itself

allquixotic

I've actually had a good number of "friend-zoned" female friends, but always taken

I need to write this NUnit snippet in Haskell: if(girl.relateTo(this) > 50) { Assert.IsTrue(girl.Taken); }

where relateTo() functions kinda like a String comparator in Java, except the range is from 0 (hate) to 100 (family member unconditional love)

That Help Vampire Guy

16:19

@allquixotic When I was single, I had a few girls giving me a chance with them, but only girls from other cities / states / countries.

A friend joked my chance with girls was inversely proportional to geographic distance.

Boris_yo

@terdon They sleep under the bridges? So if I travel to San Francisco, I will find them under the Golden Gate bridge?

Jimmy Hoffa

@Braiam Based on my experience, I'd expect the troll bayians would place their fort somewhere in the sea of memes

allquixotic

oh an underwater fort

terdon

16:38

@Boris_yo :) Trolls (not internet trolls) are associated with bridges.

allquixotic

that way they can rescue their comrades when they get shot out of a cannon from Twitter (provided it's facing eastward)
