hrm, while looking at Grace's different gravatars I noticed this message on CrossValidated

Q: TF2 - Medic Help?

I keep dying as a medic, now I don't run into the battle as a medic, I just stay behind my allies, but still, I'll die before I can deploy an Ubercharge. Any tips for Medic? Selfdefense? What Medigun? Help please.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi I believe they have 11 people, so one person will be left out.

Arda Xi

I count 10.

Precisely 11 comments, and the one by Dave is to withdraw.

Wipqozn

My apologies, dave withdrew.

I don't know, something about that bothers me. The fact she's doing this to collect methods suggests a list type question, although it is a useful question.

Grace Note

Lists aren't the devil, y'know

Wipqozn

13:31

And now she's just posting a bunch of methods

@GraceNote I know, just something about her question bothers me.

Grace Note

If you have a concrete, solveable problem, it's fine to have multiple answers.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote I agree, but I don't know. There is just something about it that is bothering me.

I really can't put my finger on it.

Arda Xi

I can.

It's a solved problem.

We've dealt with an exact question like this before.

Grace Note

Asking and answering your own question is acceptable. We've always noted that it's fine to be hasty about it, and fine to wait.

Arda Xi

I have this problem. I solve it like this, how do you solve it?

@GraceNote Answering it in the question however is something else.

Grace Note

13:33

@ArdaXi That is something to be fixed

Arda Xi

@GraceNote This question should be answerable by 'backups' and nothing else.

But that doesn't satisfy the asker.

Wipqozn

The fact she is posting multiple answers also bothers me.

Arda Xi

Wow, now, this is something lots of people disagree with, but I personally find horrible.

We are a place where you solve actual problems you have.

Not just a place to dump your own knowledge.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi which is what she seems to be doing.

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Exactly.

But, like I said, consensus is to embrace them, so I'll abstain.

Grace Note

13:38

I think argument can be given for the degree of dumping but that depends on how one looks at the big picture parts of some of our mission versus the big picture parts of other parts of our mission.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote I thought our mission was to help actual people with actual problems, not imaginary people who might or might not have certain problems.

Grace Note

@ArdaXi Our mission is to have the answers that people seek. Which is why you have a valid point.

However, not everyone sees it in the same perspective that we do right here.

Bah, stupid Bell internet, down for an hour and a half now.

And I have this cable and it hooks up to the network modem thing. And goes into the back of my computer.

So: Magic.

Anna Lear

@Wipqozn That we are.

Powerlord

Wait, AT&T hasn't swallowed Bell up in Canada?

Wipqozn

@Powerlord I believe they are the same company.

Powerlord

I thought they were trying to get all the Bell companies back.

Wipqozn

Oh never mind. I always think Aliant and AT&T are the same company.

Phone companies change their names so much it's hard to keep track.

Mana ಠдಠ

@Wipqozn I can't see it.

sjohnston

@Powerlord AT&T has eaten a lot of the baby Bells, but there are still one or two independent ones, and Verizon is also a Bell descendant.

Still, I suspect within a decade that entire antitrust breakup will be completely undone.

@fredley 108 chapters.

Excellent.

Dub or Sub?

Wipqozn

Either actually. The dub is really well done.

It only covers 26 chapters of the manga, so if you like it you'll need to read the manga as well.

You can watch all the episodes on youtube as well. Funimation uploaded them all.

I will give a warning though, the first episode is... a little iffy. You should watch a few episodes before deciding.

I saw a preview for it in Anime Insider back when I used to read it. Yeah, I'll watch all of it.

It's my favorite anime and manga.

I own the series on DVD, along with all the volumes of the manga. I've read/watched it several times.

Stack Overflow Blog: The SE Podcast Setup

Posted by Alex Miller on August 17th, 2011

We’ve gotten quite a few questions from people about how we go about recording and producing the Stack Exchange podcast from people interested in everything from the hardware to the software and even the process. Given the recent revamp of the entire setup (which has been happening during our recent break from live shows), I figured this was the perfect time to do it.

Our setup is massively more complex than what is normally needed for a podcast (since its normally 2 people sitting in a room talking into mics). We generally have 2-3 people live in studio (Joel, Alex and maybe 1 guest), …

Mana ಠдಠ

Yeah, true. Can you get some pics of the setup? I'm sort of curious about that.

FallenAngelEyes

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah I would.

@FallenAngelEyes That would be pretty cool, yeah.

FallenAngelEyes

there's like a case modding championship and even an open Parkour(!) area

You need to actually cap every day. We don't have the traffic for that to provide the necessary questions for that.

@Brant You probably didn't post enough, given that you only had one question and one answer by the end of the Private Beta.

@GraceNote what do you mean by "every"? I thought it's just capping in 50 days, but not necessarily one after the other

Grace Note

@Oak Yeah, it isn't sequential. Point is, getting to hit the cap, rather than having all that rep accumulated over multiple day spans, that's the key.

Arda Xi

Yeah, I thought it was the earned at least 200 reputation on X days on /reputation.

@Oak "rep cap was reached via rep from upvotes *only* on 28 days
earned at least 200 reputation on 46 days"

Arda Xi

Which means I only have 45 days left.

Raven Dreamer

So I'm 4 days shy.

(I think...)

Grace Note

Yes, you're 4 days shy

Arda Xi

Last time I hit the rep cap was in May.

All Portal 2.
