@Geobits Do you find it easier to accumulate reputation on other Stack Exchange sites? If so, which?

I'll make an account there :P

Geobits

Puzzling, EL&U, and Lifehacks spring to mind.

My average rep/post at Puzzling is about 50% higher than here I think.

BrainSteel

I'm exhausted, so I'm going to go to sleep now.

Geobits

And, they go even crazier than we do on upvotes for "funny" in my experience.

Alex A.

@BrainSteel Good night!

@Geobits But ugh, Puzzling. (Sorry @Doorknob)

Geobits

Hey, you just asked about rep :P

@El'endiaStarman Are all of you using the same font? I can distinguish crossed out 44 from regular 44 just fine, both on my phone and my desktop.

Alex A.

I'm using best font, has 100% jQuery build in

Geobits

I can easily distinguish on Android, but with Chrome/Ubuntu's default, it's only barely distinguishable.

Q: Make Seeing Deleted Answers Optional

When Stack Exchange site users reach 10,000 reputation they can view deleted posts. This can be very useful but deleted answers stay in their default ordering so viewing a question with a lot of deleted answers can be cumbersome if you only want to see non-deleted posts. The Sandbox at PPCG is a...

@Dennis Chrome default, they're almost indistinguishable. The struck-through version has a slightly thicker horizontal bar for the 4s.

Geobits

4:07 AM

@Calvin I think they only stay in that order if you're not ordering by votes (where they're all at the end). On most sites, I use by votes for everything.

That's probably why it only really bugs me on the sandbox here.

El'endia Starman

Yeah, I don't really have an issue with deleted posts on the Sandbox because I just leave the sorting order on votes.

Calvin's Hobbies

But votes doesn't make sense for the sandbox, you want to see the active ones

Alex A.

That's only true of SO

The threshold is much lower here

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. Well is that the default at least?

feersum

I don't want to sort by votes anywhere.

Geobits

It's 10k on any graduated site, which will be us later in the month.

It's only lower here because we're beta (for now).

I'd like to suggest that the content of deleted answers, which is visible to 10k+ users, be hidden from view by default. Often times you'll see a user edit their deleted answer and replace it with something like this: <! -- Replacing answer with comment so Jon Skeet won't see my ignorance --> ...

@Mego No, that still works, it's just x in parens

The downvotes are probably because it's not very different from the leading Python answer

@TanMath Yes but there are caveats. You will almost certaintly be downvoted if the language is just for that challenge

TanMath

4:38 AM

@Calvin'sHobbies so I can't do something like the riCkroll example?

Sp3000

@TanMath To be honest, the downvote was probably because your initial answer didn't work, or something to that effect. If so they should really have pointed out the problem instead of just downvoting (although I'm only just guessing here)

Anonymous

I got away with posting in a newer language than the challenge because it's a catalog, Seriously is Turing-complete, and I've been working on it since before the challenge went up :P

@MorganThrapp There's a subtle difference with the suggestion you put out, since 169 is 16 9, but 6 is not square itself

Morgan Thrapp

@Sp3000 Oh, yeah, then I really didn't get it. :P

But my point remains about it not totally being clear.

Maybe composed of squares? I'm not sure.

Sp3000

Partitioned, probably

Morgan Thrapp

Yeah, that could work.
