@Vincent Besides for being tutorial on demand, it is sooo broad with no information whatsoever

Q: What to do with tutorial requests? -- part II

I am done with these kinds of questions. Made a meta

Meta Graphic Design

12:12 PM

As a sequel to my earlier question Changing how we handle low-effort and tutorial-on-demand questions, I'd like to ask some opinions on the current state of the site. In my humble opinion, low-effort tutorial-on-demand questions are swamping the site. Personally, I am very much demotivated by th...

@Vincent has any of the mods actually contacted the user(s) showing this problematic behaviour?

@PieBie No, this meta is also meant to bring that up in a later stage

if it turn out the consensus doesn't want t-o-d, we'd have to enforce them not being answered

fair enough

But. Isn't is a bit weird to start a vote on Meta about this, knowing that a few of the significant players in this might not frequent Meta?

Just now I made a couple answers to make it as easy as possible to express your opinion

@PieBie depending on how the meta discussion proceeds, it might be a good idea to summon some of them, indeed

I saw. I understand your intention and support it fully.

Good

I don't like calling names from the get-go though

1:04 PM

no I understand, I just wanted to warn you of how it might be perceived if the vote was held as binding while some users didn't participate. But it seems you are well aware of this :)

make the post featured so everyone sees it

I am

@WELZ I'll wait with that a bit, at least until my co-mods have had time to see it

good idea, though, hadn't tohught of it yet

1:28 PM

@Welz great addition

1:39 PM

thanks

woah for a second I thought @PieBie was a mod. Cause I thought I entered the mod chat

lol

@Ryan LMAO!

@Ryan he should be.

@Vincent well if I get the job and relocate I may step down. But that's still a big question mark at this point

I hear they're a bit strict with time monitoring

1:55 PM

so they won't let you log in at work? :o

@Ryan put the modding on your resume :)

@WELZ not sure but I doubt it. And they've gotten in trouble for their social media policies which tried to tell employees they couldn't post anything about the company, vendors, officers, etc.

So I would at least be very cautious initially

@Ryan Alright, you can't take the job.

Lol

@Vincent keep trying, maybe one day I'll break :D

@PieBie be a mod! :D

2:09 PM

@WELZ haven't started discussing salary but i'm pretty sure its about $30,000 more than I currently make. So yeah I can deal with no social media

They also offer tuition reimbursement if I want to go do grad school in the evenings

whistles

2:29 PM

@Ryan sounds like a pretty good deal. And btw, this isn't a social medium anyway, the SE network helps you do your job. Half of the worlds front-end developers would be without a job if they couldn't consult Stack Overflow

3:10 PM

yep just have to do a Math, English, and Internet test. The recruiter told me they basically ignore the Internet portion because its so outdated but I still have to do it

what's an "Internet test"??

no idea! Hoping to take the test this evening

> Please crank this up and connect my 1990's machine to the internet!

3:25 PM

Step 1: Install Netscape Navigator from this floppy disk.
Step 2: Search on AOL for three different newspaper articles about the fashion of 1998.
Step 3: Make a summary of these articles, preferably with pictures, in MS Word '98.

yas!

Step 4: Create a cool WordArt title for your work.

all wordart is cool

yes, as @johnp so aptly put it: "WordArt is a post-modern masterpiece." link

3:31 PM

morning

well hey @DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ

If WordArt is post-modern than Google is post-post-modern. developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started

DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ

@PieBie long time hope you've been well

@DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ yeah, thanks. Just very busy at work and life atm.

Don't know if any of you work with the IAB. but this white paper is pretty interesting: iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/…

3:34 PM

@PieBie Also, some of the 'parents' giving the 'child' the 'candy' are people who should really, really know better.

@Vincent some yes, but not all.

agree

I'm actually tempted to write a Devils Advocate answer, but I'll give it a few days to give other users the chance to stumble upon the question.

@PieBie now you've got me curious

2 hours later…

Q: How to draw a 3d arrow going up in illustrator (example provided)?

5:24 PM

If somebody answers this... that'll be the end of it!

-1

Can someone tell me how to do it like the picture above in illustrator? Thank you

adobe-illustrator

we just need one question for "How do I draw this" that has one answer "With the Pen Tool" and close em all as duplicates

L-M-F-A-O

@JohnB You should still be mod so we can do this!!!!

6:05 PM

haha

I won't name names but I have inside information that some of the other mods can be bribed

@JohnB 20% chance I get it right! (and since Cai and Wrz and newer) more like 33% and it's obviously @Vincent so 100% LMAO

@LateralTerminal 2 dv is not so many.

@JohnB here ya go
