I probably wasn't here

ok, good enough reason.

@Eran nicely done with the yearly "next bash" post.

stack reader

02:47

Just wanted to post some info. I got 8,243,721 by deleting exactly 6 of my upvoted comments. 5 was not enough. All those comments were from this year. There is no mistake about it and I am certain this is the way to do it. Pretty sure the date of the comment is irelevent.

I also got 6 by having a comment/conversation under a question that I created. Someone were asking precisions about my questions. I posted exactly 5 comments and same for him within the span of 1 hour, then I got the hat.

@nitsua60 ok then.. What if I delete my own Question and Undelete it again.. will I get "No Longer Grinchy" hat

nitsua60

@v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋ I've got to imagine you would. It just says "reopen or undelete," not that it can't be your own. Also, I think I mis-remembered that one when I first replied to you--sorry!

Alexander O'Mara

@David Assuming I find the answer before/around then. :p

v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋

no problem @nitsua60 ... I tried it yesterday, It didn't worked! I deleted question, and undeleted in 5 minutes

what's the difference between Undeleting a question and Participating in Undeletion...?

stack reader

You must vote to close a question and vote to reopen. You need 5 vote for it to succeed.

@AlexanderO'Mara Can I ask for a favor?

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Depends on the favor.

stack reader

You can always "ask"

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara I have an answer regarding JS but I don't think it's quite right. Is it okay if you give me feedback?

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Looks accurate to me.

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara It's the part with the snippet with the if statement

I didn't know JS did that.

Am I reading the text right for winterbash2016.stackexchange.com/philantropist... that can only be earned on the last day of hats? What is the last day of hats? Last day of winter bash 2016?

sorry Philantropist

Eran

@piRSquared The last day of hats is Sunday (Jan 8)

piRSquared

Thx @Eran

Eran

Just made my feeble attempt to win the Maverick hat. Probably won't work. Anyway, I won many more hats than I expected to win at the start of Winterbash. I guess I can't win them all :) stackoverflow.com/questions/41466653/…

Q: Identify clusters linked by delta to the left and different delta to the right

Consider the sorted array a: a = np.array([0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 11, 14, 19, 20, 20]) If I specified left and right deltas, delta_left, delta_right = 1, 1 Then this is how I'd expect the clusters to be assigned: # a = [ 0 . 2 3 4 5 . . . . 10 11 . . 14 . . . . 19 20 # ...

@Eran looks like a good answer to me. I did what I could

Eran

@piRSquared Thanks, but the question is too far behind on the votes. And too many people on the java tag enjoy deleting posts with negative score.

@piRSquared You got my vote. Did you actually post all that via the app? Impressive.

piRSquared

Yes... but I just copied from a text file in iCloud

Eran

07:29

@piRSquared That's why I think the Loungin' Around hat is pointless. It won't convince anyone to start posting questions via the app outside of Winterbash. It's just inconvenient.

piRSquared

@Eran I use the app all the time waiting in line to buy something. Every once in while I'll post answers. But it gets dicey as I can't test anything. But I agree, questions from the app are going to be low quality in general.

Eran

07:58

@piRSquared My Android device has been broken for a while now (I'm using a Windows Phone replacement at the moment), so I had to borrow my wife's phone to win hats :)

piRSquared

08:16

@Eran and how does she feel about that? BTW thank you for the help.

on to find a maverick candidate

Eran

@piRSquared She was amused when she started to get notifications from the app. Then I turned the notifications off.

piRSquared

08:43

I'm only missing 4 hats. Philanthropist and Epiphany I'll get as will most of your... I assume. Working on Maverick right now and missing Running Ragged which I'm not sure I want to even try.

Eran

09:36

I'm also missing 4. I hope to get 3 of them

Lol, I'm tied too ;)

Eran

I brought you a little closer

piRSquared

09:45

appreciate it. Let me know if you need me to review anything ;-)

SteamyRoot

10:26

Is there still confusion what "They Live" is about?

Eran

This hat it warm :)

SteamyRoot

I just got the hat after only doing 7 suggested edits today: 5x (improve) edit, 1x reject and edit and 1 time reject (which was a test).

So based on the patterns in the google docs, I'm guessing the requirement is "improve edit or reject and edit at least 5 times in one day"

v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋

@Eran WHAT!! How did you get that hat... ( ≖.≖) It's not 6th today..

SteamyRoot

It's probably the 6th somewhere in the world already?

I got the bacon hat a day early, too

Anonymous

@v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋ There's a 26-hour window on all date-related hats. You can get the hat up to 14 hours before UTC midnight. All that counts is that it is the correct date somewhere in the world.

Now I m confused, how did I get the Hat.. It's nearly 11:35 in UTC time

and Indian time os nowhere near to 6th Dec

How in the world I got this....!

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

12:09

@v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋ it's the same for all other date related hats. It's 6th somewehere in the world. Nothing to do with your time zone

v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋

okay... got it! wherever, new Date hits, applied constraint all over the world. :D

Question about Mad Hatter: do we get it for questions or answers? Or both? Does the answer has to be the first one?

Q: Epiphany hat awarded on January 5th

If I'm understand the epiphany badge correctly, it's supposed to be awarded for posting on January 6th, but I've been awarded it today (January 5th). This seems like a bug to me. Is this the desired behaviour (perhaps related to extreme timezones) or is it a bug?

starpilotsix

I'm guessing on Maverick your own upvote doesn't count (that is, if the question's gone from -3 to +3, but one of those + was your own upvote after posting your answer)?

starpilotsix

16:01

Yup, that seems to be the case, just after the one in question hit 4 votes, it kicked in.

+4, I mean

David

@starpilotsix exactly (it is the same as last year) your own votes do not count on the question.

starpilotsix

I wasn't here last year.

David

well then you could of asked me :)

Andrew Li

17:09

anyone here good with git?

Paul White

@starpilotsix What do you mean? You can't vote on your own posts.

starpilotsix

@PaulWhite Yeah, but Maverick is answering somebody else's -3 question, which goes to +3 after you answer.

(Your own answer has to also get +5)

Paul White

@starpilotsix Oh! I see what you mean thanks.

So you could upvote the question, but it wouldn't help.

Yep gotcha.

I would like to get Maverick, but the chances are slim. I am surprised I got Snapchat. The answers I post are few and far between and even fewer get past 1 up vote.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

there are a bunch of easier ones, go for those first

pnuts

This could well be old hat (!) but I've not been here before. Does the clue “When presented with 5 options, only 2 matter” for They Live point to "Skip" as one of the possible 2?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

don't think so

iirc the evidence pointed to improve and approve

pnuts

Thanks!

piRSquared

I've got all SO hats. I'm missing Ragged. I don't even think I want to try. Hat's off to those with it ;-)

My They Live came after completed my full regiment of 20 edit reviews having edited some and approved some, skipping some, rejecting some, and simply approving some

pnuts

Approve / skip would be the only two not to 'jeopardise' the edit suggestion.

Andrew Li

Uh oh

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh noes

Andrew Li

Spooked

starpilotsix

I didn't skip any edits and I got it. Someone recently suggested that it might be 5 of some combination of improve/edit reject/edits in one day, and that tracks with my activity when I got it.
