2:01 AM

@GypsySpellweaver Are you in?

Gypsy Spellweaver

@HenryWHHackv2.0 so far

Henry WH Hack v2.0

OK

@GypsySpellweaver What do you like about the site?

Gypsy Spellweaver

I think one of the big things I'm seeing that I like is civility. Users who are new to SE and joining this site are not being pummeled with error messages, so to speak, but are given helpful encouragement to adapt to the SE style of Q&A.

Some sites on SE can be quite unfriendly to new SE users

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@GypsySpellweaver OK

Yep (SO)

We have a SE site that covers almost anything.

And even more are coming.

It just keeps coming

Sorry

Wrong message

Gypsy Spellweaver

2:18 AM

One of the coming sites I'm keeping an eye on is self-directed learning

Henry WH Hack v2.0

There's a stack for that. ;)

Ok

@GypsySpellweaver Like learning without school?

Gypsy Spellweaver

If it doesn't make it, I hope that we (CSE), can absorb a lot of their users

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Yes, and no.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Ok

What do you like doing in your free time.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Self-directed can be totally outside of school, for subjects not covered in school.

It can also be just going above and beyond in classes students are in already.

Or a blend of the two.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Well ok

Next question

Ben I.

2:26 AM

We've had to work a bit on the civility front, though. We have had, in the past, new users who came in and got immediately jumped on by 2-3 commenters

I like the principle that we were discussing that, in general, the power user who responds first should try to be the primary helper

That way it doesn't feel like such a pile-on

Also, we have some advantages over other SEs, because we don't attract as many horrible questions. (Like the endless stream of homework-dump questions over at CS)

Gypsy Spellweaver

"no" can still be said in a civil manner, even to homework dumps.

Ben I.

Sure, but... the questions aren't exactly off-topic, just usually poorly constructed. And there are >10 of them per day, and the users rarely edit (or even come back to accept answers), so it tries the patience

I posted about it

4

Q: Impolite to new users

I've noticed that new users, who often ask rather poor questions, are often downvoted with no guidance at all, or are given harsh criticism without being welcomed into the community. The purpose of the First Posts review queue is to allow corrective suggestions, so downvotes without guidance are...

discussion

Gypsy Spellweaver

And that's why I think having the question help room is a good idea. First regular user that spots the bad post can comment, directing them to the room. Everyone else sees that comment, and knows to hold off on comments, at least, and to go to the room to help if they're willing.

Ben I.

Some time after I posted that, I also started getting fed up with the people who come and ask you to do their homework for them, but don't even bother to accept an answer.

I 100% agree that we need that room. And I think we will never attract that kind of soul-crushing stream of lazy people at CSE, because our name doesn't really invite that the same way

Gypsy Spellweaver

True on the stream of lazy people, hopefully.

Ben I.

2:35 AM

Mostly, we'll get teachers, or people who feel like they have something to share with teachers :)

Gypsy Spellweaver

I don't mind having some students in here either. HS and/or uni. They can help keep perspective.

Ben I.

They'll come, too. :)

Gypsy Spellweaver

Can't hurt to have a student pipe in with, "that's not we think at all." once in a while.

Ben I.

About 1/3 of our more involved users appear to be students, about 1/3 are developers, and about 1/3 are teachers.

(I'm just thinking about the folks who frequent this room)

Gypsy Spellweaver

Some are wearing two hats even/

Ben I.

2:40 AM

Definitely.

I will be teaching a class next year where the kids are supposed to be teaching each other about CS

I will make points on this site (not awarded by each other) worth some form of extra credit for that class, as what we do here is at the core of that course.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Ooo. That sounds like fun

Ben I.

(Well, I'm contemplating it, anyway)

Gypsy Spellweaver

Except that the votes are anonymous, so you can't tell if they came from another student or not.

Ben I.

Honor system.

Or, if I think that way, then I would tell them to only upvote a comment by a friend if they really think the comment is actually useful, and apply the honor system that way

Perhaps that's a better way

Gypsy Spellweaver

Just found it, there is

Ben I.

2:44 AM

Eh?

Gypsy Spellweaver

On your own profile page, votes tab will record what you voted on. No one else can see it, but you can.

You can have them open that screen for you an demand.

Ben I.

I've apparently only downvoted 3 times, though I've voted to close questions roughly 10 times.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Just knowing that it is recorded, and they can't remove the record, should be enough to keep them honest

Ben I.

I am the source of a substantial portion of the number of points awarded on this site so far :P

Gypsy Spellweaver

One point of order, however. They are all over 13, correct?

Ben I.

2:47 AM

Definitely

Gypsy Spellweaver

If even one isn't that can mess up the whole plan.

Ben I.

The course is only open to sophomores and up, so 15 is the minimum age

Gypsy Spellweaver

That make the plan easier to deal with.

Ben I.

And the course really is about teaching each other, so it dovetails so very nicely with this site :)

Gypsy Spellweaver

Sounds like a perfect match.

Ben I.

2:49 AM

(I would never make this required, ofc - only extra credit for contributing to cs education more broadly)

Gypsy Spellweaver

It would be unfair to allow some to have the chance to earn points and deny it to others though. Over 15 solves that problem anyway.

Ben I.

Yeah, no one would be younger than that. And they're all bright kids

(That's how they got into the school)

(It's very selective, which I have mixed feelings about)

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I need to do more better Ask Ubuntu edits than the standard indent the code thing.

I made a lot of reps on AU by changing things like this:

Gypsy Spellweaver

Maybe, to help the mixed feelings, once they're solid in the"teach others" concept, they can be encouraged to share with others, as tutors, or just helping out a friend or neightbor.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Oh you guys are still chatting I will come back latter.

Gypsy Spellweaver

2:54 AM

Give them the tools and the mission.

Ben I.

@HenryWHHackv2.0 You don't need to worry about interrupting this conversation :)

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Gypsy Spellweaver

Just filling time and space with random characters to keep the universal entropy alive.

Ben I.

Precisely so.

I have noticed that, aside from occasional spurts of activity, this site, and chat, acts like school is still in sessionl

Ben I.

Thank you, nicely done.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Dead most of the day, comes to life around 2200-UTC

Ben I.

Heather's edit to the React.js question makes it closer to being on-topic, but is different from what OP is asking. In principle, is that the sort of edit I should approve?

Gypsy Spellweaver

@HenryWHHackv2.0 H̸̡̪̯ͨ͊̽̅̾̎Ȩ̬̩̾͛ͪ̈́̀́͘ ̶̧̨̱̹̭̯ͧ̾ͬC̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟Oͮ͏̮̪̝͍M̲̖͊̒ͪͩͬ̚̚͜Ȇ̴̟̟͙̞ͩ͌͝S̨̥̫͎̭ͯ̿̔̀ͅ

Ben I.

My instinct would be to say probably not. A closed question is presumably better than a question that subverts what OP wanted

Gypsy Spellweaver

2:59 AM

I'd approve the edit, good effort should be rewarded. The question still stays closed, however.

Not sure it does subvert OP's intentions

So few clues in there, including which react he means

Ben I.

What if her edit made the question on-topic. So, we would approve, and presumably reopen, but then the question is (also presumably) no longer what OP really wanted to ask. Isn't that a highly undesirable outcome?

Gypsy Spellweaver

It probably is. And, based on the original question, not the title, I think .js is what OP meant.

I don't even know what React VR is.

Unless it's using React.js to create virtual reality

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Maybe it's a program in react.JS that allows you to create VR applications called react.VR.

Ben I.

That's it for me, folks. Have a good night!

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Ok

Good call on that one @thesecretmaster. edits so far have been helpful to same extent, adding undergrads is going to far.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@GypsySpellweaver Ok we can chat now.

As I said before

I have gotten a lot of reps on Ask Ubuntu by changing some questions from this:

I'm looking for an example.

Gypsy Spellweaver

For adding proper formatting to code ?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

yes

from this: askubuntu.com/revisions/921699/1

to this

askubuntu.com/revisions/921699/2

I can't believe those things are still getting approved.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Ugh, I really don't like those kinds of posts. I can ignore lots of grammar errors and stuff. But that stuff is totally uncalled for. Even a newbie ought to know better.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I sometimes feel like someone is going to come out of my computer and slap me in the face for not doing something different.

well doing a edit different.

Gypsy Spellweaver

3:46 AM

Anyone who reads the old version will come out of the computer and shake your hand for doing that

Henry WH Hack v2.0

why?

I can see it now

Gypsy Spellweaver

The original version of posts like that are rather difficult to read, and probably don't get answers until they are fixed, by you or someone.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

The wise geek coming to shake my hands.

with his paw.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Keep your camera handy :D

He'd just tell you that you're doing a dog-gone good job. :)

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Here the edit messages I use:

improved formatting
fixed formatting
made image visible
fixed grammar

Gypsy Spellweaver

3:51 AM

What do you think of my answer here?
https://cseducators.stackexchange.com/a/816/104

Fixing grammar while fixing code is a good idea. Better if one edit can fix all the problems in a single sweep.

@HenryWHHackv2.0 What's made image visible?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@GypsySpellweaver Example:

WHAT?

Ok that's what I mean by made image visible.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Ok, turn links into embedded images. Good. I don't like those either.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

What?

Oh you don't like clicking links to see images.

Because who knows what you will see after clicking an image link.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Nope, If the image is important to the post, include it in the post, if it's not, don't even link to it.

Here's an example of another on I don't like: screenshots of the console.
https://superuser.com/posts/1208028/revisions

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Well you need a certain number of reps to add an embedded image in your post.

Faisal

3:57 AM

jb

Henry WH Hack v2.0

greetings

Gypsy Spellweaver

For a low rep post I'll just embed the image and move on. If they have the rep, then I don't like them doing it. I usually comment about the linked image and tell them to fix it.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Also I thought you was going to wonder what's the difference between improved formatting and fixed formatting.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Fixed = broken, Improved = not really broken, but could be better

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Well improved formatting is basically when someone just copies and paste the code or error without doing any formatting at all.

Gypsy Spellweaver

4:02 AM

Do you know how to have some control over the size of images without using <img> tags in the post?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Fixed formatting is for when the OP tries to format the code but did it wrong.

@GypsySpellweaver Will if it's hosted by imugr

Gypsy Spellweaver

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Yea, "broken" formatting.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

You can add the letters s,m,l at the end of the image id.

s = small
m = medium
l = large

Gypsy Spellweaver

You can also use t = thumbnail

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I need to try this on a post.

Well a test post that I will not be posting.

Gypsy Spellweaver

4:06 AM

Sometimes s will crop the sides, and I don't like that :(

Sometime thumbnail will to, if it's a banner shaped image.

medium and large are predictable, small and thumbnail I always check before committing the post/edit

Henry WH Hack v2.0

ok

Oh did I told you that I spoked to Adam Lear.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Nope.

Any news about this site?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Oh well I ask him to make me a mod for one hour and he said.

no

Gypsy Spellweaver

Never hurts to ask. They can't say "yes" if you don't ask, and the answer is always "no" until you ask.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@GypsySpellweaver Dude who is Adam Lear to make me a mod for one hour?

@GypsySpellweaver It's against the rules.

No one should become a moderator just because there asked for it.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Isn't that what they're going to do here anyway?

How many nominations did we have? Two, I think. So, the 3rd mod will have to be one that "asked" for it.

Ok, three nominations, but one declined.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

4:44 AM

@GypsySpellweaver Well if you ask without showing you are worthy of become a mod you will not become a mod.

If I just post on the nominations post something like:

Gypsy Spellweaver

True, they'll probably dig through the site looking for qualified ones, and privately ask them first. Then announce it to all of us.

Yay. Privilege acquired. Not that it matters much...

Gypsy Spellweaver

Are you going to become our synonymizer now?

Itamar Green

I want to. but I don't want to start "abusing this power" from day 0.

Although, I want to synonym coding-conventions and coding-style.

Gypsy Spellweaver

There is no day 0 :) No year 0 either.

Hows the voting going on that?

Itamar Green

@GypsySpellweaver I disagree

Gypsy Spellweaver

Which one? Or both?

Voting has been very light on the tag issues.

Itamar Green

5:41 AM

No wait I think I need 5 score in a tag to do that.

Gypsy Spellweaver

Think we ought to wait for mods to be set first.

Itamar Green

so just 1 more upvote XD

Gypsy Spellweaver

That shouldn't be too long anyway, votes keep trickling in.

Itamar Green

Hey, Gypsy, could you give me a quick intro to Perl? What's it like? Just to get me going. Or is that a broad question? :P

@GypsySpellweaver usually, from what I've seen in other metas, mods pro tempore announcement comes about 1 month after nominations

Gypsy Spellweaver

The tags shouldn't get too far out of hand in that time.

Itamar Green

5:44 AM

@GypsySpellweaver not on any of my coding conventions questions (almost alliterative)

@GypsySpellweaver yep.

Gypsy Spellweaver

What langs you best at now?

Itamar Green

Java.

And a bit of python

Might as well mention Matlab though it's a merging of the previous two

Gypsy Spellweaver

Java is a child of C, correct?

Itamar Green

I don't think so

sorry for my lagging reply, I'm trying to answer a question.

Gypsy Spellweaver

6:00 AM

Ok, I'm doing some code work myself.

Biggest differences between Perl and Java, for starters: Perl is interpreted, not compiled; Perl is so loosely typed that it has NO types; Perl is imperative, and functional, as well as being function-based and object oriented.

Itamar Green

oh my. it's the flip side of merging python and java.

XD

Gypsy Spellweaver

Perl has some very basic rules, but will allow you to do almost anything, including shoot your own foot.

Itamar Green

public static void main(String[] args){
    Foot leftFoot = Body.getLimbsToolkit().getLimb(Limbs.FOOT_LEFT);
    Gun g = new Gun("magnum");
    g.shoot(leftFoot);
}

Gypsy Spellweaver

lol

sub main {
    my $args = $_[0];
    my $leftFoot = $body->getLimbsToolKit->getLimb(Limbs->{FOOT_LEFT});
    my $g = Gun->new('magnum');

Gypsy Spellweaver

RE: the CLI question's answer.

Itamar Green

My point is that there are no existing GUI tools that can outperform the terminal

Gypsy Spellweaver

I'd do this chat in CLI if there was a good way to do it.

@thesecretmaster this question of yours has apparently garnered a CV

14

Q: What is a good analogy for the Object Oriented paradigm?

What is the most effective analogy that you have used or have thought of to teach the object oriented paradigm? Hopefully the analogy can translate well to inheritance as well, and includes the concepts of instance methods, class methods and properties. Even better would be if it also includes th...

object-oriented-paradigm teaching-analogy

Looking at it now that the site is a little more mature, it probably should be modified to be more about teaching anyway. Thoughts?

TuringTux

I like the second and third sentence, because they give a clear specification of what the analogy should contain.

Judging from the comments, the title might need to be refactored to something which contains the requirements, like "What is a good analogy to teach inheritance, instance methods and class methods"

I could even imagine splitting this up in multiple, smaller parts (one for each requirement), e.g. "Analogy for instance vs. class methods", "Analogy for singletons" etc.

Furthermore, you could add something about the target audience, but I'm not sure whether we need to use two limiting criteria at one (either splitting up in multiple questions or adding audience info).

Ben I.

1:20 PM

@TuringTux Are you thinking about going into education?

TuringTux

I'm not sure. I've given a few hours of "class" for now in front of different audiences (one today), and one problem to me seems the motivation of the students. If they are (like in the case today) forced to attend the class, I can see many of them come even though they are not slightly interested in the topic.

This is something which is (of course) okay, because no one has to be interested in the stuff I like, but if I went into education, I'd like to give courses where you're not forced to sign up for, so I know that my students are really interested in the topic.

Ben I.

@TuringTux I see what you mean. Student motivation is one of the central challenges of teaching. You learn over time how to motivate students (and how to know whether they are engaged at all, which is a separate question). Electives and core classes both have their place - required classes are often the ones where you can cover more important ground, because the kids would never "elect" into courses that cover certain dry (but central and vitally important) ideas.

TuringTux

Hello @thesecretmaster

thesecretmaster

Hi. I don't see a CV

On the oo analogy question

TuringTux

@BenI. I understand. Thank you for giving me some information :) Maybe I'll ask some more questions in the following time on teaching, if this is okay :)

Ben I.

1:32 PM

@thesecretmaster I'm not sure that you would.... ?

OH I SEE

No, it wasn't CV'd. It was flagged as opinion based.

I'll ignore that, because that's the site that the community has been developing.

You still might want to modify the question, though.

TuringTux

Maybe it's just because of the "most effective analogy" formulation?

Ben I.

We crossed the 1000 threshold!!!

TuringTux

Because, of course, all those questions asking for experience are somehow opinion based but in my eyes nevertheless really important for the site.

A: Do your students pay attention when you speak?

As thesecretmaster once intoned, "Just from my experience as a student, computer out == doing whatever you want." Kids won't learn from you if they won't give you their attention. And a quick glance into a restaurant, with faces aglow from phone screens, is enough to demonstrate that prioritiz...
