@WheatWizard Any particular reason you declined my "rude or abusive" flag here despite the answer being nonsensical and you deleting it? While I understand "not an answer" is supposed to be used for pure code submissions, in this case it was example code for a nodejs http server which I think pretty clearly falls under the "gibberish" / "not appropriate for polite discourse" criteria described here.

Not WheatWizard but I don't read the flag policy as saying that that answer would be rude/abusive

While it does mention gibberish, it seems to mean it in the sense of "deliberately malicious gibberish to cause harm to the community [by imposing a large moderation load or reducing signal/noise ratio]". Stuff that's just highly off-topic/low quality doesn't strike me as deserving a redflag unless you can justify it being deliberately harmful

I do hate NAA and VLQ as a group of flags though, they're terribly fuzzy

But I'dve gone with one of those for that post personally

NAA is kind of ok and I'd be inclined to mark helpful if applicable, but VLQ is a nuh uh

I'd be careful with r/a flags because those are penalty ones iirc

I feel like the intent behind NAA and VLQ collectively is like a catch-all for answers which are off-topic+useless or incomprehensible

But the overlap there doesn't feel perfect going off of the flags' descriptions, which makes them so annoying to use

R/A seems to be for systemic flooding of gibberish

yeah, that's how I read it. Maybe not even systemic, if they state/imply somewhere amid the gibberish an intent to cause harm/abuse the system

(user did post another answer which was very clearly r/a though, and another that was chatgpt'd)

@RydwolfPrograms Alright, this feels borderline but I guess I'll err on the side of caution in future

@emanresuA I accidentally declined it thinking it was flagging the other garbage answer on that question, which is off-topic but not jibberish. That answer is borderline R/A imo.

@NewPosts You could create some storage in a stepped design using galvanized square steel and eco-friendly wood veneer

All the butter storage in the world in a functional and aesthetically pleasing form factor. Does seem to attract tigers though...

Ah okay

I think I've realized that I won't be happy unless I graduate college with the requirements for literally six different majors

I'm going to have to compromise somewhere :(

I'll try to overload to the absolute maximum allowed, which could get me maybe 50% more courses than a typical undergrad degree in the same four years, but even then I doubt 540 units (equivalent of 180 hours, CMU's weird) would be enough room for political science, math, bio, chem, robotics, AI, and a minor in russian lmao

But when I look at the course list for literally any of those it's all things I never would've imagined leaving college without knowing

I obviously don't intend to formally get all five of those majors, since double-counting limits would make it impossible, but just for my own happiness I would really like to take the courses necessary for all of them

Although...IIRC double-counting limits don't matter if the exact same course is required by both majors, it's only for electives, so I could probably get at least three of those officially tho lol

I should casually email my advisor and ask if there're any resources on sextuple majoring

Wait this calls for a spreadsheet hold up

good luck

Okay the spreadsheet has been compiled

Without including any electives, I would need (drumroll)

891 units, across 94 courses (12 per semester), the equivalent of 2.5 undergraduate degrees xD

What I'm optimistically aiming for is 500 units, which is approx 50 courses

But by doing some division, that does indicate i could still probably triple major, or quadruple major ignoring electives :p

But IRL I'll probably just take whatever I feel like and shove it into one or two majors once someone tells me I have to

Let’s go!

I can now edit anybody’s posts!

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer congratulations!!

Why do they call it banana bread when there's banana but no bread in the recipe?

Like banana, sure, but you never see anyone say "add 5 teaspoons of sourdough", "mix in 300 grams of rye", or "incorporate the wholemeal white loaf, ensuring it's in toast slice for better consistency"

Just saying, it's kinda misleading naming

False advertising even

TIL that you can access mobile chat on desktop and it's a little cursed

It's nasty

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer Okay but that doesn't mean you have to... :P

I was trying to make an improved course schedule viewer for CMU and instead I accidentally found an XSS in the existing one

you love to see it

@RydwolfPrograms That's pretty nearly what I did. Ended up with CompSci and a double major in Math.

I could've had a dual degree instead of a double major, but I'd've had to fulfill the requirements for the College of Arts and Sciences to get the Math degree, and I didn't want to have to take a foreign language. In hindsight, knowing what I know now about myself, I really should've done that. :P

I'm gonna take Russian. Depending on what my major is it may or may not be a requirement, but the air force will like it, and it'd be interesting, so I'm playing it safe

It's surprising how little of HTML conflicts with regex syntax

It's like they're meant to be together (hides from zalgo)
