@RichardU Those are 3 different answers which happen to be represented by the same word, that is all. Anyway, we don't look for one word answers here.

@puzzlepiece87 True, but one thing I like about it is that it cuts out most of the nonsensical rambling that chatrooms and forums are prone too and it does so by design. The fact that an entire site is basically dedicated to "what if" discussions really irks me.

@Lilienthal we'll see how it comes out, but what if is a spin-off from Worldbuilding. Because what if [the German won WWII] are not accepted on WB. So some people decided to create a new site for it. The start of the site would/will be critical, IMHO.

What if?

Proposed Q&A site for people who have a hypothetical situation they want answered.

Currently in commitment.

it seems I somehow lost track of the whole thing... there were one "what if" meant as a worldbuilding-like... but to collect the questions refused on WB...
that one seem to have taken a turn to something else

@LightnessRacesinOrbit Frankly, I'm rather surprised to see that you still haven't realised that your personal morality isn't shared by the entire world. Based on the discussions I've seen you start the problem isn't due to cultural differences but rather your overly moralistic attitude. — Lilienthal 16 secs ago
Not sure if this is crossing a line but I'm starting to think it's time someone spoke up against this guy.

To be honest, I don't see the discussion going too badly at least until your comment. But pointless, sure. They (Lightness) aren't going to be convinced. So there's nothing to gain the in that discussion.

Well I've gone ahead and invited him to join chat if he wants to discuss it further as it is wildly off-topic to the post at hand.
Oh, good answer by the way @Mast.
Ah, mods cleaned up the thread. I think that's probably the best solution.

A: Is being casual unprofessional?

KilisiAs a 17 year old you'll probably find two sorts of clients to start with. Those who already know you or are referred to you and online ones wanting cheap work done. With the online ones it's not actually necessary to meet them physically. I've done a lot of work for people I have never met. I've...

Somehow I can't picture Kilisi as a gamer. It just doesn't match the International Strongman vibe. :)

@MaskedMan It was an analogy, not to be taken quite so literally. The point of it, is that an answer may technically fit another question, but it doesn't mean that the question isn't looking for a different answer. The first question I asked at this site was killed because another question had answers that the people who closed it thought applied to my situation. They did not.

@enderland I don't understand the voting. The highest rated answer I got, I think was for that question about a company that screwed a P.Eng, then wanted to know how to force him to stop his job action.

This is probably a worthwhile answer to read through as it's pretty much the same problem - workplace.stackexchange.com/a/7342/2322 — enderland ♦ 18 hours ago

@RichardU I just read the question to your top answer and the answers to it

And they can't fire him either since he could very easily spin that into that he got fired for refusing to sign unsafe tests and then they're even more hosed

@Magisch The OP was absolutely out for blood too. There's an old German proverb, "When you set out for revenge, first dig two graves", and an American saying, "When you're in a hole, stop digging".
@Magisch The OP also refused to listen to any advice that didn't include screwing the P.Eng further. He had them over a barrel.
 
Magisch
Magisch
@RichardU I take great pleasure in imagining OP and the dunces above him realizing just how hosed they are and just how much their little "Lets promote a family kid as a favor but have our one actually decent guy pick up the slack while still getting paid less" not just didn't work but came back to bite them
Thats what happens when you have a good, dependable employee who has earned a promotion duely and instead of giving it to him when it comes up, you screw him. Very few people react positively to that, and that guy is a highly intelligent highly qualified highly important engineer - what did they think could possibly happen?

1:13 PM
@Magisch My present employer is currently going through a similar situation. He was a very patient man and gave them two years to deliver on what he wanted. They are going to need to hire three people to replace him, and they won't do near as good a job.
 
Magisch
Magisch
My company didn't. we have one guy with a master's and a whole truckload of experience in the field, so much so that we get lots of contracts just for advertising that he'll be working on them
You're damn right the company owners bend backwards for him
 
Richard U
Richard U
@Magisch I know I come across as a hardass, but taking care of your people makes good sense from a business standpoint. Happy employees are more productive, are more loyal to the company, and will go above and beyond.
I once had a manager who was so protective of his people that we would have marched into hell and sworn we had frostbite if he'd asked us to.
@enderland I can sense your disapproval through your brevity
 
enderland

@RichardU heh it was a mess. :P

Its great to see that sometimes, people who play with hellfire get to feel it, too

@Magisch The OP was ranting and raving in them, the situation was even worse than the question suggests. Details came out such as it was a nephew of a board member who was unqualified, and eventually sacked. The OP was also frustrated as hell over the fact that we wouldn't help her screw the P.Eng
I think that was the most thorough dressing down I've ever given anyone.
@Magisch the OP's comments were histrionic, to say the least. Definitely a LOLCow

wow. another question from workplace on HNQ
man. HNQ is so screwed up
 
puzzlepiece87

Why?
It's good for workplace, right? I know HNQ is a double-edged sword, but at least workplace is popular?
 
enderland

It just seems weird that we'd have four questions all on HNQ at once
 
puzzlepiece87

Or do we prefer it to be the size it is now for site culture reasons, or?

HNQ causes a lot of work for me as a moderator, heh

Ah. Well I have been mildly surprised by which questions have appeared but I am not surprised workplace is popular.
It's both relevant to a lot of people and a well-managed subsite.

Speaking of, an answer I wrote spontaneously this morning that will net me zero rep is currently +10 because of HNQ

Speaking of things that are popular/unpopular that surprise me, I am surprised Dating & Relationships never made it out of beta considering how popular questions that have gender as a central facet become on workplace.
 
enderland

@puzzlepiece87 considering how many flags and, ah, unpleasant things come on those sorts of questions, I'm not :P
 
puzzlepiece87
puzzlepiece87
Dating and Relationships was active when I first started coming to coming to SE, I think I saw them in HNQ occasionally
@enderland Ha, Amen to that, looking through the top rated questions on the people's rep rankings, it doesn't look like as many intelligent questions were asked as could be hoped for either.

2:47 PM
@Lilienthal I'm a world-building supporter, when I read their HNQ it seems like they generally get thoughtful, well-informed answers :) The nature of the question doesn't bother me as long as people are finding interesting, well-informed things to say.
@Lilienthal I am guessing you are not a fan of the what if xkcds either?
@enderland I am not sure if this either reinforces your point (you're surprised we do so well at answering in this way) or explains it (you're not sure why workplace does well, answering in this way is why), but I think Workplace does a great job of keeping it as objective as possible. There's a lot of key tenets repeated over and over: everyone should be treated with respect. Learn, grow. Communicate well. Be forthright even when someone has it out for you.
 
enderland

I more mean the entire site being successful

@puzzlepiece87 The problem with any (inherently) subjective site is that there is no arbiter of what is "right" other than the opinions of the masses. Which means it becomes dominated by politics.
 
puzzlepiece87
puzzlepiece87
@Zak Is that a problem? Sounds like real life?
 
Zak
Zak
@puzzlepiece87 It's a problem in that most nascent human communities don't survive to maturity.
And those are communities where people (generally) live and work together and interact with each other and have strong incentives not to ruin the whole thing.
 
puzzlepiece87
puzzlepiece87
@Zak Interesting point. Well-put.
 
Zak
Zak
With a site based on an existing well-defined community, or based on some kind of factually-verifiable subject, the community can always fall back on a foundation of what is right and/or established convention.
For something more subjective, you have none of those to fall back on, so either the community manages to never ever make a fatal mis-step, or it implodes (or explodes) in some way shape or form.

@Lilienthal Worldbuilding, like any subjective site including Workplace, has to contend with the "I want to discuss $topic" problem (as opposed to "I have an answerable question about $topic"). I don't think Worldbuilding does worse with this than other subjective sites. We shut down the forum-style questions.

I answered this after I had already recapped today, and it's a HNQ too
 
puzzlepiece87

@enderland (joking) Which begs the question if it's a HNQ because you answered it or people like the title?
 
enderland

3:34 PM
@puzzlepiece87 I've wondered that before, I tend to write fairly extensive answers and end up on HNQ a lot -- causation? correlation? :)
 
puzzlepiece87
puzzlepiece87
What are the criteria the system uses for HNQ?
 
enderland
enderland
I think it's a combination of vote count, view count, and answer count over time
in other words, magic :)

@puzzlepiece87 I'm not a fan of its subject matter but that by itself isn't that big a deal. What I take issue with is the apparent lack of policing done by the community or, to be honest, the mods. I see endless discussion threads on there that should just be wiped if we want to respect the SE spirit. Frankly, on its best days it doesn't seem all that different from /r/whatif or /r/writingprompts. The biggest requirement to participating seems to be an active imagination.
As for XKCD, I don't waste my time on their what-ifs but the issue is that a humorous article is in the right place there. They don't belong on SE.

@puzzlepiece87 it was my first language, and I'd consider myself an expert with it

@puzzlepiece87 VBA is brilliant at what it was designed to do, which is to develop file-specific software that inter-operates with anything in the MS ecosystem, especially other Office Apps.
Most of the hate comes from the fact that the barrier to entry is incredibly low, so you get a much higher incidence of people writing VBA "code" that is just a horrible ungodly mess.
Good VBA code is just as good as other good code, it's just there's a lot more of the terrible stuff out there.
Same problem as PHP.

@Zak I'm an expert in VBA, and I have built a career by cleaning up the messes of those low-entry people. I revamped an application and took processing from 10 hours to under ten minutes.
The old joke about VBA is that any idiot can code in it, and just about every idiot does. The "Record Macro" feature has been the bane of many a coder's existence as we go back to clean up the messes.
 
Zak

@RichardU We get that at least once a week over on CR "My Macro takes 10 hours to run, how can I make it faster" "Well, not writing to/from the worksheet (and also triggering calculations & screenupdating) 10 Million times would be a good start"
