hot SO question: stackoverflow.com/questions/21910769/… - 9 answers just in a few hours. It always strikes me why there are so little upvotes in questions like that
@Jin I noticed that when I open a dialog to flag a question and drag it, it behaves differently from what I see at Programmers, SO and MSO. Part of the dialog that gets outside of white area, into the blue, disappears. Could you please take a look
n March 1999, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 5, which supported favicons for the first time.[4] Originally, the favicon was a file called favicon.ico placed in the root directory (e.g., en.wikipedia.org/favicon.ico) of a web site. It was used in Internet Explorer's favorites (bookmarks) and next to the URL in the address bar if the page was bookmarked.[5][6][7][4]
Okay, I will continue to refer it to the "URL tab image place thing" though. Or the Utipt for short.
There's another two or three layers of caching there, not sure it's worth digging through. Note that all of this will/would've fixed itself automatically at most 24h (and usually less) after the launch
(don't worry about it -- thanks for the support, thought it had to be done manually hence pointing it out)
@balpha I think we have taken enough of your time away from development in order to "fix the cache breakers" (no matter how cool it sounds, apparently it's very boring)
@balpha If you're around still, is the issue with the site loading slowly also related to caching? I am getting the backgrounds and elements about half a second before the text:
Well, the main issue is that all those images are delivered to you from a CDN ("content delivery network") that has servers all over the world, so when your browser downloads things like the favicon, it doesn't have to call New York (were our datacenter is), but can call a CDN server (called "edge server") closer to you, so you get the images faster. These edge servers cache the images for 24 hours, so when the first user requests "favicon.ico", the edge server has to ask New York itself, but for everyone else it can just remember what it sent previously. That only turns into a problem when…
takes breath
@jmac If at all that should really only happen the first time you load the site. Are you seeing it consistently?
@CMW similar to, it is a problem in the review queue, if i VTC a question in the close queue and scroll down one notch too far the box hides behind the background and i cant cast the vote
HTTPS support is experimental at the moment. Most static files are already protocol-relative, but you may get mixed-content warnings for things like user images etc. For the moment, that's [status-it-is-how-it-is]. Once we officially announce HTTPS support, we'd like to have 99.9% of those issues fixed.
Workplace has been officially graduated: new site design has no "beta" anymore, and privileges are set to the level of graduated sites.
This makes it possible to add this site to our migration path, does it make sense to do?
To better understand this, I would like to learn stats / rates of succ...

Apparently, as a result of a discussion on migration options it appears that Yannis and myself see different statistics when going to the programmers.SE.com migration stats tool and the stackoverflow.com tool respectively.

@StéphaneMartin related to the VTC and flagging issues in the review queues, the edit queues have a similar issue, the suggested editors avatar and name is cut off
I would like to ask some questions in regards with the workplace bullying.
I had my lunch in front of my desk, as usual, when one of my colleagues started complaining that my lunch was smelly and disgusting. She then came to me and said: “I know it’s your lunch, so yuck!” I did not say anything,...
@AlexM. basically, a coworker reacted badly and ruined his food, then threw items at his face (a hat), he reported the incident to HR, who informed the manager, the manager then blamed all the activity on the person being bullied, and threatened them even more basically
@CMW I dunno, HR didnt get involved that much, first they just passed it off to manager, but if he is complaing about the manager surely they wouldnt tell him
If your manager thinking it's your fault AND HR departement is refusing to do their work, escalate it to the next level of management. I'm sure, they're very interested in the (mis-)behaviour of your supervisor
sad I don't have 20k rep right now, would throw a delete vote there :P
@CMW I typically sympathize answers invalidated by question edits, but this is not the case here. Crappy fastest gun "shots" that basically exploit weaknesses of original question version aren't worth it
I got hired to work in this company for 6 months. My team consists of 4 people, a line manager, two senior level employees and me.
One day I was seriously ill and took sick leave for three days. When I got back one of the team member was talking about me in front of me and he said: "if she was ...
I have been on a show called All You Need Is Love(The Netherlands) and surprised my girlfriend on that show in a positive way.
Showing the video at my current job made several people say that I should have put that on my resumé even though my function has nothing to do with it.
Would it be a g...

A fellow who has been an excellent account rep with a vendor we used has been subject to a downsizing by his company. He has been out of work now since November. I've told him he can use me as a reference cause I've been so happy with how he has helped my company.
I was wondering if it would be ...
@Jin One day, the programmers will be outnumbered. And they will rue the day they called us a self-help group when Joel is asking on TWP, "How do I deal with the fact that my community of brilliant programmers has turned in to the cesspool it was intended to replace?"
@Shog9 maybe, but compared to only 10% rejection from Programmers to SO, it raises concerns. Current feeling tilts to keep it "mod-controlled" for a while...
@gnat I agree with this assessment. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking Workplace migrations out of the moderators hands right now. Perhaps if it only presented itself as a valid migration path for users who are high reputation to the target site? — maple_shaft5 hours ago

I've made a huge mistake.
In January (a month ago) I asked here what should I do to look for my first job. And I found it.
But it isn't what I wanted.
See, I wanted to work as a programmer. However, my father managed to find a work for me as a secretary in a small organization (it can be compa...
First of all, I would like to say many thanks to the one who helped me to restructure my post, much appreciated. Secondly, I do appreciate all the above answers. My story has not finished yet. My manager forced me to change the seat after this incident, I told him that even when I changed the sea...
I work as a temp in an office M-F. However, I was briefly considering going to cosmetology school, so I got an evenings/weekends job as a receptionist in a salon.
I've worked there one weekend so far, and it was MISERABLE. So, I'm not going to cosmetology school and would like to quit the job A...
I'm thinking if there are guides to building email rapport because I'm not really good at face-to-face communication.
Are there any guidelines about the frequency in communicating to coworkers?
The goal here is that the moment you get to face-to-face communication, half the battle is won.

I think there are a lot of false assumptions in your question.
Rapport has nothing to do with frequency of communication, but with content and quality, which in turn has nothing to do with whether it's face-to-face or via mail/chat/carrier pidgeon.

Apparently it's a thing to do, when your probation period is over, so would one go about that? A big dinner? Sweets? Drinks?
And also imporant: Who's to be invited for that? The whole company? Your direct colleagues? Your hiring manager and above?
@Chad It may still not be great. I tried to not remove the parts the OP was confusing when asking the question, but only shiftet the focus away from those a bit
Ahhhh this is so obvious I can't hardly handle it. I'd like to say I've never used those objects before or done similar things, but, well I can't. I'm going to try this on Monday (this actually makes me want to stay here later yet today since I can't imagine it not working very, very well) - 99.9% of my lookups are static and this will save me an absurd amount of time! — enderland47 secs ago
Very temporary fix:
In your inspector, search the node with ID "suggested-edit-[some number]"
In the styles for that node find class '.question-summary'
Set its width to 100%
