i've heard from places that apparently so mods celebrate when they get their flag count down to 3 digits
a mod told me there were 1126 flags shown in the top bar (as of a couple of days ago) and the actual count is higher because some flags get collapsed together
as of december 5th there were 7.2 million flags with an average handling time of 1d 8h 49m
which is actually lower than our all-time flag handling, though that's mostly because doorknob was the only mod for almost/over a year and unlike SO, we actually cleared all of those which each added several months to the timer lol
@hyper-neutrino Yeah, they're all reopen votes. I'm guessing from the SO query (which shows 21170 flags all raised at exactly 00:00:00 UTC) that it just logs them at the start/end of each new day
> Close votes age away harmlessly if the threshold is not reached after a number of days. If the question has at least 100 views, close votes will age away after 4 days; otherwise close votes will age away after 14 days. Each new close vote resets the timer, so all close votes must be at least 4 or 14 days old respectively before aging occurs.
it's actually one of the questions i'm currently designing language features around to be able to solve :P since it has two main approaches that are both good to have in a golfing language IMO
@Wezl assume it's possible. then, output must start with either ; or #. therefore, the program must start with ; (otherwise it would output 0-byte). the output is equal to the number of #. therefore, the program has at least one more character than its output length. therefore, it is not a quine. contradiction
@Adám For example, it'll output ;# for ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;#;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;#;;;. If there were enough trailing ;s that would affect the final output. Yes, the input should be run at least once
@Adám What doesn't make sense? The # is what outputs in a ;# program, so if there are only two #s, the output should only be 2 characters. SHashes is essentially just repeated application of the ;# interpreter on the output, it's nothing "new"
Recently, Stack Exchange decided to switch to system fonts. For those of you who prefered the old appearance, or would like a different font to appear in code blocks or across the site as a whole, Custom Fonts is a user script I wrote this morning to allow just that.

although usually if there's a conversation that's ongoing but off-topic i'll move it to a new room
if it's ongoing but bad overall and should be stopped i'll just tell people to stop and trash it, or if it's stopped but should be removed for clutter, trash as well

@RedwolfPrograms you should just have it link to your site and then have your site redirect to the newest version so you only need to update that one place each time :P
if you have a site/server (you have one just in your basement/home right?)
@Wezl they are not just using sans-serif, that's the problem. they specify a list of fonts with sans-serif as fallback, and if any of them is available, it will take precedence.

Maybe we're attacking SE wrong. Rather than "the community is unhappy with your choices" which obviously is consistently ignored by SE, maybe we can say "in the name of INCLUSIVITY, have mercy on the UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY of users that have poor eye-sight"? Relevant: "I am blind / have difficulty seeing: 1.1%"
