lol
 
like planking
 
Hm?
 
people playing dead
 
An oldie, but here's a potential question: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/76156/…
 
"We've back-traced it... You've been reported to the cyber-police."
 
9:01 PM
but like 1995 video game dead (pre rag doll physics)
 
Well, that one guy actually did die.
 
ok what was that quote?
 
@CRoss Oh, no, I know what planking is.
 
Search is hard, let's go scavenger
 
Reno, from a rather popular video on Youtube of somebody who would miserably fail the internet competency test.
 
9:02 PM
I just got invited in here (I don't know by who, either), so I'm a bit perked up so to speak.
 
I didn't even notice waffles was in here. He's cloaked under this "SamSaffron" persona
@GraceNote I did, since you were asking about it elsewhere :)
 
Yeah, he snuck in all ninja-like.
 
Ah. I see.
 
Where are the animal noises in the background?
 
The Global Inbox should probably show that.
 
@random The CHAOS team
 
@Jonathan Is that what I think it is? Will the consequences never be the same?
 
I don't like the edit review page...I don't know why. It's a great idea. I just can't stand to use it...
 
@MichaelMrozek The CHAOS team has stolen the noise?
 
...okay, Hipmunk is impressive after all.
 
9:04 PM
@ThomasOwens Really? I don't care for other review pages, but that particular one I actually like
 
@GraceNote You got it ;)
 
Which other review pages are you referring to?
 
(I originally thought it must have been US only since I never heard of it, but it's not. It does only use USD though.)
 
Was that the quote he spent 1 hour searching o_O?
 
Zappos is phenomenal. Read about some of their stories in The Orange Revolution.
 
9:05 PM
@ThomasOwens Basically all of them; new user posts, low quality, 10k flags
 
Oh. I don't know. I should spend more time with them. Maybe that's all.
 
> These aglets are the best I've ever tasted. A+++ will eyelet again.
 
I like where this "paying copy editors" idea is going
 
@SamSaffron I guess the best you can do is compare to how many edits and flags were produced before these features were introduced, but you're right, it's not really something you could measure. The numbers are what I was really going for, I suppose, thanks!
 
Strunk & White, FTW.
 
9:07 PM
What @Joel is saying right now has been brought up on meta, where people argue that you shouldn't clean up English in posts because it loses info about the OP
 
But it's not about the OP. It's about the questions and answers.
 
@MichaelMrozek ...I wish I saw this around on Meta so I could downvote that post
 
And it's about the many.
 
@ThomasOwens Exactly, I wildly disagree with it. For a minute I thought Joel was agreeing with those people, I was concerned
 
9:07 PM
@MichaelMrozek If the information isn't necessary, I'd say edit it. Editing code is a bit no-no though, with the exception of formatting.
 
Ah. OK. I see what you mean, yeah.
 
@MichaelMrozek link!
 
Oh. No mention of the Rally/PM.SE thing on this podcast. Was that talked about last week?
 
@CRoss People always say that, like I have a giant list of every meta post I've ever read with keywords to easily look it up :)
 
@MichaelMrozek Grace does? :-/
 
9:08 PM
Oh, I missed the "like" word.
 
@Joel A lot of anonymous edits seem to be from unregistered users updating their own question when they've lost their cookies
 
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the SE meetings. The features and ideas you guys come up with are absolutely brilliant.
 
I what?
 
Ok, on a computer.
 
@GraceNote You drink the duplicates and post the links
 
9:09 PM
@GraceNote You robot.
 
@random That sounds like you moreso than I.
 
@TimStone we very rarely get any edit flags ... its usually "not an answer" these days

A: Keyboard shortcut to access the first link in a Google search page?

Jeff AtwoodAssuming you mean the first search result, this is already built in to Google! Notice there is already a little ▶ arrow will next to the first search result. Turns out pressing enter after your search will navigate to that first search result automatically. If you don't want the first se...

 
@SamSaffron Right, but stuff that should be deleted counts towards raising average quality too. ;)
 
Anything older than a week is old on the Internet. You should know that, Jeff.
 
9:11 PM
old is the new new.
 
We should have Marc back on so he can talk more about how personally people take flag weight, heh.

A: Editing for broken English: Acceptable?

pkchukissIn general, most communities are adverse to correcting grammatical and spelling mistakes, not only because it would enrage the original author, but it would be a false portrayal of the author's personality. However, Stack Overflow is primarily a Q&A site; therefore I feel that it is perfectly...

 
I discovered a sql-injection hole on a very large Conservative website about a year ago - still open today.
 
@JonathanSampson Sony.
 
Hearing half a conversation is very confusing.
 
9:13 PM
Haha. No, @badp - Can't claim that one.
 
Sony also .. discovered .. a sql injection hole
 
@JonathanSampson You should utilize that to tweet pictures
 
@balpha Seems to be popular now'days.
 
Food's almost done...I want to hear the end of this podcast, though.
Slow down, dinner!
 
Wife already called, "Are you coming home?" "StackOverflow is doing a live podcast..." "Oh my goodness. Okay."
 
9:15 PM
Ah, very neat.
 
we've been open-sourcing all kinds of stuff recently. I'm pretty much the only one who's not a curator of a StackExchange open source project
 
@balpha hop to it already, geez!
 
@balpha Just officially sanction our userscript. Problem solved!
 
Is the profiler not on all the time for devs? I assumed it was, but Joel's never seen it before
 
Gah. My profile on data explorer isn't synced? Boo.
 
9:16 PM
@MichaelMrozek is he registered in the system as a dev?
@ThomasOwens known bug
 
@jcolebrand ...I would hope so
 
@ThomasOwens data.se isn't connected to the sites.
 
@MichaelMrozek Joel isn't a dev
 
I still wonder if this Programmers question is related to sony. twitter.com/#!/gortok/status/76647922065883136
 
9:16 PM
@MichaelMrozek why?
 
View in order: 1) http://bit.ly/mGtkOD 2) http://engt.co/kka3CZ 3) http://bit.ly/ml3u48 This is why we can't have nice things.
 
@balpha I figured all SEI employees had the dev flag
Information porn!
 
@MichaelMrozek there's "IsEmployee" and "IsDeveloper" flags
 
Oh. Interesting
 
Why DC? Why not Boston?
 
By the way, this feature you guys added rocks: stackoverflow.com/tools/flagged
 
@RebeccaChernoff NINJA'D
 
@Thomas I bribed Joel to bring it to where I live.
 
9:20 PM
Well, when is it again?
 
Needs to be in Atlanta.
 
Dec 13
 
@GeorgeStocker The mods appear to like it too; Bill tweeted earlier that the SO mod queue was empty
 
marks December 13th on his calendar
 
@balpha stop slow-banning me on chat ):
 
Wichita!
 
Well, even worse. I can't afford take time off from work to go home for the holidays and DevDays...:(
 
user30
@GeorgeStocker Unexpected notification is unexpected
 
Come to Atlanta and you'll all get a home-cooked meal with free beer ;)
 
@MichaelMrozek It's one of my favorite features. Evar.
 
9:21 PM
STICKERS!
 
I need v neck SO tees for guys ( only girls get v necks =[ )
 
My Linux laptop has SO/SU/SF stickers on it.
 
@JonathanSampson Next time I'm in atlanta I'll take you up on that. Oh, that wasn't meant for me, was it.
 
I would love Programmers stickers.
 
9:22 PM
 
@Gortok If you're in the area, stop in ;) We'll have a beer and discuss RP :D
 
Can we get the live stream video when this is over?
 
Oh. I would love that beer stein.
 
I might well have to buy one of those mugs.
 
Jin
i want the gaming tshirt
 
9:23 PM
There's a gaming t-shirt?
 
My "large" StackOverflow feels more like a slighter-larger-medium. Can't wear it proudly :(
 
swagic!
 
Thanks for the show.
 
Anonymous
100? :(
 
OK. I'm out. Good night all!
 
9:23 PM
It's the lack of puppies, no doubt.
 
@JonathanSampson What's RP?
 
When do we get video of Jeff as well?
 
Again next week! :)
 
George, a 2012 candidate.
 
@balpha AUDIO'S BROKEN!
 
9:23 PM
Ah. Yes. RP.
 
If I say his name, there may be an uproar ;)
 
... still going to have to download and listen - missed a lot trying to divide my attention between a script gone awry and the audio
 
@MichaelMrozek YOU'RE BROKEN!
 
@Jin Maybe if you got us some lasers, we could get you a shirt.
 
Apparently if you say his name, Voldemort cringes.
 
9:24 PM
GNIGHT!!!!!!!
 
@GraceNote Oh, snap.
 
G'night, Joel. Thanks for the visual.
 
Jin
@GraceNote one of these days.. :) in fact i already broke the images apart locally..
 
@GeorgeStocker if you can think of any ways to make it better please post on meta ... also quite happy with it
 
G'nite, Joel ♪
 
9:24 PM
They have the shoe polisher from Mouse Rat on their SE team in NY?
 
Bye, all. :-)
 
thanks all
 
@Jin I feel it is my duty to warn you that the rumors about the forces planning to storm your home are only getting worse and more descriptive.
 
nighty night
 
Thank you, @SamSaffron.
 
9:25 PM
@SamSaffron Thanks for guest'in.
 
Jin
@GraceNote oh noez.
 
Always nice to hear a voice from the SO community.
 
Drat, just saw the tweet about this show as it was ending
That's what I get for not living on twitter 24/7, chatting online with hot babes all day
 
We don't get to hear @Jin's voice - we only bathe in the aura of his awesome via online photos of him making the peace sign.
 
What's the schedule - are these on every week at the same time?
 
9:26 PM
@JonGalloway aye
 
@JonGalloway Tuesday at 4pm EST
 
@JonGalloway The hot babes aren't on Twitter, they're in the tavern
 
@Jin You should be on a future episode talking about the design process for these various SE sites.
 
Jin
9:27 PM
@JonathanSampson design is boring :)
 
@JonathanSampson Did you hear him on HerdingCode a while back?
 
@TimStone I'm way behind on HerdingCode, so, no.

Q: Who Do You Want to See on the Stack Exchange Podcast

Alex MillerAs everyone is (hopefully) aware, we're now several episodes into the re-launch of the Stack Exchange Podcast. We're also focusing on having more guests on the show to keep things interesting, so we need your help! Let us know who you want to see on the podcast - as usual, please only one sugge...

 
I've got tons, and tons of podcasts to catch up with.
 
Jin
@JonathanSampson i'd rather to hear from community mods, power users.
 
9:28 PM
@JonathanSampson It was this one: herdingcode.com/?p=309
 
@Jin Design may be boring, but successfully implementing good design after good design would have a nice back-story I'm sure.
 
Jin and his bacon loving ways are in very high demand :)
 
@Jin Nevermind, I'll get my fix from herdingcode instead ;)
 
Jin
@JonathanSampson i started this blog post about my experience designing SE sites, back in november last year.. but never finished the draft..
 
@Jin Not a bad idea if I think about it. We've gotten a high power user last week (shirlock), and a Team member this week (waffles), so perhaps next we should get one of the community moderators.
 
9:29 PM
Jin got bored designing SE sites. Now he designs SE blogs. (;
 
Jin
@GraceNote shirlock never came on the show last week
 
@SamSaffron Bacon strips and bacon strips - youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc5wIpUenQ
 
He didn't? I thought he did. Did I hear things?
 
@GraceNote he was scheduled to, but ended up not making it.
 
@Jin I'd be interested in hearing more about the process.
 
9:30 PM
We should do a Cooking.SE Stack Exchange podcast special, where Jin just cooks bacon recipes.
 
I don't find it difficult to design a site, but I do find it difficult to constantly be creative and do something unique.
 
Oh. Fooey.
 
I'd love to hear a cooking.stackexchange contest
 
That's sad to hear.
 
@TimStone Yes, featuring Epic Meal Time: youtube.com/user/EpicMealTime
 
Jin
9:30 PM
@JonathanSampson i was on herding code once. talked about the design process a bit herdingcode.com/?p=309
 
He'll be on at some point. Not sure they've finalized a date though. Maybe later this month.
 
Oops, not contest, I mean podcast
 
@JonathanSampson Brilliant!
 
Jin
@JonGalloway speak of herding code, hai!
 
HAI!
 
9:31 PM
@Jin I'll check it out.
 
That'll be good, @Rebecca.
 
You mention Herding Code, I show up.
 
O, HAI, @JonGalloway
 
THat's awesome, and local too.
 
Cooking nerds in the .NET dev community: gcpowertools.com/cookbook
 
9:33 PM
@GeorgeStocker When he grabbed her arm, I was waiting for the Techno Viking to enter the scene.
 
Alright; with the podcast being over and all, I no longer have an excuse to sit around the office - time to go home and be husband and daddy.
See you all later.
