What domain will this be on when it launches?

yesterday, by Rydwolf Programs

So we're still leaning toward langdev.stackexchange.com if they ask?

Feb 27 at 20:02, by Rydwolf Programs

I think we'd informally decided on langdev.stackexchange.com

Bbrk24

Only -6 people left!

Find your most negative and toxic friends and get them to commit, y'all

Preferably friends made of antimatter

Do we have a list yet of what questions we want to ask during the private beta and which ones we want to keep as HNQ bait?

I'd like to self answer "What is a generational garbage collector and what are its benefits?" but would like your opinions on if it would be during the private beta or after

Unrelated String

i think that's a good private beta question

wouldn't generate the kind of activity or attract the kind of views for hnq bait

Where were all these people when we needed them?

because now we're -9 people away

Rydwolf Programs

@mousetail That's not going to be great for HNQ bait (we want opinionated questions; number of answers is the most important factor), so private beta is fine

We want to save advantages/disadvantages questions on controversial topics for HNQs

Some will still get posted, which is fine, since we still need good private beta stats

@UnrelatedString this is truth

@Mast I wasn't trying send that message.

Yes I am aware you should have quality along with quantity on Stack Exchange.

@lyxal My understanding is sites are approved on a Thursday or Friday, since it got 100% over the weekend I don't think it will come out today.

From a former SE CM: area51.meta.stackexchange.com/a/29714

Sorry I meant it got 100% during the weekend and not over the weekend.

Wait those aren't synonyms?

@RydwolfPrograms I went to Google and found:

> Over the weekend means the same thing as during the weekend. It is used to talk about something that happened (or will happen) between Friday evening and Sunday evening.

Shockingly I didn't know Friday is part of a weekend. I always thought a weekend was just Saturday and Sunday. (OK this is getting too off topic.)

Rydwolf Programs

I wouldn't say Friday's part of the weekend either

I guess you could count the evening after work/school is typically finished though
