A: Do we still need the Retag privilege?

Yes, the retag privilege is useful on medium-to-heavy-traffic sites. It is useful because retagging allows a question to be directed towards the people who are best suited to understanding it, possibly editing it into shape (when that requires knowledge of the content matter and not just of Engli...

Q: Propose a privilege to sit in the 500 reputation mark

As determined from earlier discussions, the retag privilege serves a lot more confusion and a lot less of its benefit due to the suggested edit system. It must be done away with. It will be done away with. ♪ In light of this decided course of action, we're going to need a new snack for the road ...

I think I'm going to use Node.JS.

Wow... my trash bin was full.

Seth

Node.js?

For what?

Nathan Osman

For a project I'm working on.

I need something that can handle a lot of concurrent TCP connections.

I'm also trying to decide between MySQL and PostgreSQL.

chaskes

@nathan-osman I'm very interested in your thoughts on MySql vs PostreSql. And what do you think of MariaDB?

Nathan Osman

2:08 AM

I honestly haven't used PostgreSQL or MariaDB.

I've only ever used MySQL.

That's why I'm curious to find out if there are any performance gains to be had by switching :)

chaskes

Well, I'm still interested in what you find out!

Nathan Osman

Well, I'll mention anything I find out here.

Seth

I've heard good things about Postgres...

Nathan Osman

I had about 10 old kernels installed that were taking up nearly 3 GB of disk space.

Seth

Oh my word.

Nathan Osman

2:12 AM

I know. And the search database that KDE generates for quick file searches is taking up nearly 3 GB as well.

I think it's time to turn that feature off.

Seth

Hmm.

Nathan Osman

My disk went from 88% full to 60% full. Success!

How can I find a list of tags that lack a definition? I am wanting to provide tags with definitions (if I fully understand the tag) if they do not have attached information.

@travisw - I don't think that question you answered about cuttlefish was really a question. I think it was a repackage our junk request from a cuttlefish author who was too lazy to do it themselves. It was built for app showdown and now they don't want to maintain it.

@NathanOsman ^^

Nathan Osman

I'm doing pretty good.

How are you doing?

Call me V

Relatively okay.

I'm a little perturbed that someone told me about an adoptable Basset seconds before the "pay us triple" agency came in to snatch it and refused to give me a ride before they got there on purpose. Other than that I'm fine. I want a specific dog, so I sort of gave up on getting one.

Anyway, I'll stop complaining now. Life stuff wise I'm fine.

That sounds frustrating.

It is. Very. I'ld like a particular breed, but they're trying to start a shelter AND trying to manipulate me in multiple ways, so I just turned it off.

Is it necessary that we have an Amazon tag? Why not also have an Ebay tag? It seems to me that the Amazon tag is pointless, or am I not seeing its usefulness? Should we consider deleting the seldomly used Amazon tag? I also think that we should have a major tag cleanup. There are so many tags tha...
