Remind me to upvote this in 20m :p — Redwolf Programs 22 mins ago

Yay, an upvote!

Lyxal

If you think the gap from 5 to 10 is bad, then you've never experienced 10 to 20. Sure you get the ability to protect questions at 15, but we rarely need to do that around here

CMP: Privilege(s) to get at 7.5k rep?

caird coinheringaahing

4 mins ago, by caird coinheringaahing

TBH changing inline tag editing to 7.5k would probably be decent enough

Redwolf Programs

I like the "vote on any synonyms" idea, although maybe it'd be better for 12.5k or 17.5k

Lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing for question deletion only. There's barely a chance to use them because we rarely delete questions. In the last 30 days, there's been no delete votes in questions

Redwolf Programs

On a related note, Razetime, Caird, and probably Original should be able to vote in a few hours

@RedwolfPrograms I'm an upvote away from doing that, actually

And for fairness's sake I upvoted half the active page of pretty much every question y'all've answered and I'm probably low on votes again :p

caird coinheringaahing

Choosing to make an edit bumping or non-bumping would be so good

Yeah, 15k or 20k for that would be the coolest thing ever

I think they should remove repcap as a rep milestone

caird coinheringaahing

No way :P

They should do the opposite, if anything

Or increase it to maybe 300

The repcap should lower the more rep you have, then it gets harder and harder to get more rep :p

@cairdcoinheringaahing Why?

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, otherwise people like Jon Skeet would have hit 1m years ago

@RedwolfPrograms Eventually, you can only get 1 rep each day

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI That would be epic

@cairdcoinheringaahing Jon Skeet hit infinity the moment he made an account, he just chose to present his rep as being smaller than it really was so as not to discourage us :P

Redwolf Programs

12:09 AM

Maybe the repcap should just increase by a little bit for every question/answer in the day, that way it still prevents 1000 rep in a day from one post, but doesn't hurt you for posting lots and lots of quality stuff

Maybe start it at 100 or 200, then increase it by something like 100 for every new question and 40 for every new answer

~~remove the rep cap entirely so i can stop feeling bad for never hitting it~~

caird coinheringaahing

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI I have repcapped 36 times (according to SE). If I didn't cap on those days, I'd have around 3k more (32940 total), and that's only 36 times. Dennis and Martin (and a few others) have done it over 150 times. In fact, Dennis would have 244,930 (+40k) if there was no repcap

The cap "hurts" higher rep users more, and it's supposed to

A few questions regarding the New Posts userscript:

1. Should newer answers be prepended to the list instead of added to the end?

Lyxal

yes

Redwolf Programs

2. Should there be an option to load new posts from an amount of time before the page was loaded?

Lyxal

no

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms yes, fits in with SE's style better

Redwolf Programs

3. Would it be fine if tags for questions were just formatted as [code-golf] [math] with links?

Lyxal

12:51 AM

yes

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms I think New Posts works best as a "what just happened?" tool. The Recently Active page works for anything longer ago

@RedwolfPrograms Personally, I'd prefer the SE tag formatting, but Imm fine with any readable/usable style

Redwolf Programs

What should be default time be for the discard after setting?

Lyxal

5 minutes

caird coinheringaahing

15 mins

That's the time frame used with chat notifications

Redwolf Programs

On mine I've got it disabled completely by default, but I'll probably go with 15m

@cairdcoinheringaahing Do you still have problems with the other userscript preventing Question Reception from working?

Sandbox posts last active a week ago: Irreducible Rube Goldberg Sort (WIP)

Lyxal

What's our policy on command-line flags for convenience purposes (for example, a flag that treats inputs as strings to make it so that users don't have to wrap input in "s)? Do I have to include it in the header of my answer?

Redwolf Programs

I think it's that stuff that affects how you run the program is ignored (like how you input to the actual interpreter), it's stuff that affects the program itself (like modifying the output) that has to be in the header

Lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms turns out the flag I tried to create to do what I put in the example doesn't work anyway

The irony

Redwolf Programs

I mean theoretically the program would be receiving the same input either way, regardless of whether or not the user needs to put it in quotes. As long as they don't abuse the input rules to use the flag to strip quotes off an input it wouldn't need to be in the header IMO.

Lyxal

also the more you upvote the harder it is to catch up

Yes

caird coinheringaahing

Huh, it didn't for me

Check the console for errors

> Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

Redwolf Programs

That's normal, since I stole a 404 page :p

It might be a bug, are you on 0.2 or 0.3?

caird coinheringaahing

0.3

Huh, I don't know then.

caird coinheringaahing

Weird. Probably just a one-off, I'll let you know if it happens again

Redwolf Programs

Did you get an answer a second ago?

caird coinheringaahing

No, but I did get an actual error message:

> Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
at WebSocket.ws.onmessage

And:

> Hi, you must be looking at your console wondering what the heck this message means. It means you should be happy that this message is being logged otherwise something very wrong happened

Redwolf Programs

That's not my error message, oddly

Maybe you used up the quota for the API

caird coinheringaahing

Oh, fun :P

I also got one more error:

> Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)

Go to https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions/18556?site=codegolf and see what it returns
