@LoganM In some places it's worse.
> If all stats are full, either Ask, Answer, or Upvote
 
That isn't so bad.
Upvote is a waste of time, but downvoting above max is actually worse.
 
No, but our choice to Downvote on full helped.
What? No way. We improved after that.
 
If your quality is already maximized, downvoting only has the added effect of causing users to decay.
 
It prevents decay of Quality, though.
 
Of course, "maximized" means 4.5, not 4. So we couldn't really tell. But downvoting twice in a row is surely a waste of a turn.
 
12:24 AM
Yeah.
A good program would know whether it's at 4.5 though.
 
Is the system at all random?
I thought it was, since our games usually ended up different by a turn or two, but I don't really know.
 
Nope.
 
If it's completely deterministic, a good program can just read off the optimal sequence of moves.
Doesn't need to know anything about the mechanisms of the game.
 
There's definitely no random, but it didn't feel deterministic.
In the end, we could have done better by recording PPCG's move sequence and copying it.

I guess these methods would all only weakly solve the game.
But I can imagine such a solution being remotely within reach if one works a lot at it.
At this point though, I'm more interested in the chat stars script thing than StackEgg.
 
12:32 AM
There are more fun things that await us out there than StackEgg.

Q: Where is the translation of "Dona Dona" from?

MaroonIn episode 16, what appears to be a Japanese translation of "Dona Dona" plays twice -- once where Nanami has a dream where she, like the calf in the song, is sent away to her death, and once right after Utena removes the cowbell. I know that there are translations of this song (which seems to or...

Q: Let me see stars

fredleyHere is how the chat sidebar looks, annotated with how interesting/useful stuff is: On my monitor, I can usually only see the top two or three starred items, but I want to see more. Could something be added so that I could: Reorder chat sidebar items? Collapse chat sidebar items? Scroll the ...

 
@LoganM main problem with that is we don't have any control over how many starred messages are shown at any point in time
I suppose a hack could be used, avoiding native starred message list to get more starred messages
 
But Maid Cafe has the longest room description I've seen until now

Q: How did Edward managed to KO Father?

user6760I remembered watching a battle scene from the 2009 anime titled Fullmetal Alchemist and was puzzled by how Edward Elric managed to throw volley of punches at Father, a homunculus or the dwarf in the flask whom had earlier absorbed an entity and gained the power of God. Is it because the power of ...

Q: Remove chat room description and tags

user1306322Chat room description and tags may only be useful a first couple of times you come by a chat room. After that, they are just wasting space. To hide them from the view, you can install the following userscript: // ==UserScript== // @name Hide chat room description and tags // @namespace ...

 
@Hakase Use document.head instead of document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]
And style.type isn't really needed anymore.
 
I just grabbed it somewhere off the internet, so idk
looks like I'm the only one using on stackapps
 
function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.innerHTML = css;
    document.head.appendChild(style);
}
That should work.
 
and it does
thanks
 
6:40 AM
Then just:
addGlobalStyle('#roomdesc, #room-tags {display: none}');
I don't think you need !important
 
you are correct
I forgot about !important

@Unihedro the royal singular they or referring to the body parts?

@GaoWeiwei Not exactly, but kinda, yeah
 
Software limitations. It doesn't show CMs as such.
 
9:41 AM
@Unihedro Funny how you use they to refer to a specific person.
 
Singular they is the use of they, or its inflected or derivative forms, such as them, their, or themselves, to refer to a single person or an antecedent that is grammatically singular. It typically occurs with an antecedent of indeterminate gender, as in sentences such as: "Everyone returned to their seats." "Somebody left their umbrella in the office. Would they please collect it?" "The patient should be told at the outset how much they will be required to pay." "But a journalist should not be forced to reveal their sources." A reason for its use is that English has no dedicated singular personal...
 
@GaoWeiwei it's unihex
 
I perfer gender-agnostic pronouns. :p
 
@Unihedro I know singular they
 
@Taisho Ohhh :3
 
9:42 AM
but
 
but you specified JNat
 
but
 
I'm just not used to that.
 
@GaoWeiwei Specified JNat as in: I know JNat is a person, but I don't know their gender
 
ask a friend if they could help sounds alright to me, but ask JNat if they could help somehow sounds weird
 
9:43 AM
@Taisho derpy horse
 
@JNat Are you a guy or a chick? :P
 
@Unihedro My profile says I'm a guy

Q: Help in remembering an anime!

Buen210Its about a boy with a super power. He discovered his power when a black monster is attacking him. He then throws a can and his powers activated, his power has a circle figure formed in front of him and when he threw the can and pass through the circle, the can accelerates and killed the monster....

 
@Hakase Does C# come with a browser component?
 
there's a WebBrowser control…

Ah, you just said it... xD
 
It probably doesn't hurt to create temporary files to render. :p

Flexbox can do this, just gotta look it up
Can open ticket?
 
11:25 AM
uhh but you know what to do, why open a ticket lol
 
@Hakase Cuz I don't have time now, and I won't remember.
Unless you want to attempt at a fix and PR
It shouldn't be more than 3-4 lines of CSS
 
yea I'm not that proficient in css yet
 
@Hakase No better time to learn than the present :)
 
imma learn from da best
look at all this free space!
 
oo lala
 
gotta see that
@MadaraUchiha I stopped watching naruto ever since that filler arc started :P
 
@EroSɘnnin Me too
But that ED is really something :o
 
11:41 AM
@MadaraUchiha Couldn't agree more. Watched 5 times . Lol, he was smiling the whole time :P
 
@MadaraUchiha Still watching that?
 
11:53 AM
@Hakase Does stackapps.com/questions/3260/… fix this?
Looking at it, probably not. It's likely not easy to do this via user scripts.
 
@JNat No\
 
@LoganM it can be hacked tho. The original star message feed only has about 10 items at max, so we'd have to get more somewhere else
 
It's possible to get the full list there, yes.
I'd think the trouble isn't so much getting those messages as making sure that chat handles them the same as the rest of the star list.
 
12:08 PM
it can also be hacked :p
but that's more work
 
Yes,,that's the problem.
 
still, possible
I'm sure over time people will realize how great this idea is and will want to help out perfect it
 
Some of it is doable with what I already know. I know the formula it uses to order messages, so if there aren't any new stars it's easy to tell when the order will change.

Buy bottled water but return the bottles for refunding #LifeHack!!!
 
just refurbish them at the blacksmith :p
 
@Unihedro The cost of transporting the bottles is also much more than the water.
 
you've probably seen reports from africa where 20 year old bottles are being reused infinitely
 
@LoganM The cost of distilling 1L of water is more than transporting and producing the plastic used for 40L of water... :(
 
Yes, that's not surprising.

Various studies have shown that the actual water in bottled water is usually just tap water taken from somewhere else, so that it tastes a bit different.

does anyone actually browse by tag on meta? I can't say I do.
 
do you just search?
 
I do just search. But browsing by tag is important for determining which to merge, especially because they provide stats.

I know most of the posts on MSE, but not that of M-A&M, so I can't comment much here. :p
 
2:05 PM
most of 70,925 questions?
 
Yes.
Even some of the deleted ones :D
 
A lot of those are probably random [support] or [bug] questions that have no practical use for anyone today. It's not that hard to know most of the useful ones.
 
@LoganM Among the random [support] and [bug] and [feature-request] questions, most important ones are reposted in Tavern on the Meta, which I participate in, so. :p
 
Yes, but most of them are not important.
 
Meta is unimportant...
 
2:17 PM
I kind of doubt you were familiar with, for example, meta.stackexchange.com/questions/104448/…. Even if so, there are thousands of other equally obscure and useless posts which few people have even seen.
 
Isn't that particular question only there because of the great MS[EO] split?
Those don't count :D
 
Yes, but so are a huge fraction of all the questions on MSE.
Anyway, what I'm really getting at is that you can never really be sure that you've seen all of the long tail of a distribution. That's why it was the long tail in the first place. But practically it doesn't matter.
 
I agree.
 
About music identification: should we tag both and or is this also not important? The only important tags on the main are the series tags?
 
2:35 PM
@GaoWeiwei I think they should allow mods to config the tags on the site which should not be used to show in the title for SEO
 
If you mean identifying a song from a known series, I think series tag + [music] ought to be sufficient.
 
I think it should not be solved by removing tags
 
@nhahtdh Isn't that already a thing?

Q: Low-priority tags for SEO

Logan MI've noticed that recently we've been seeing a lot of discussion related to changing the tagging structure, which is probably a good thing. However, one point that keeps getting brought up over and over again is that "general tags (anything not a specific series title) will always tend to be the ...

(There's an MSE version somewhere as well)
 
I mean how they choose the tag to place in the <title> for SEO, not about removing the keywords in the question title
 
Oh!
 
isn't there only one tag in the <title>? the leftmost gets chosen
 
Right, and it chooses the tag with the most questions, I think
 
The leftmost one which doesn't match the title is chosen. But the tags are ordered left-to-right based on popularity.
 
2:44 PM
@GaoWeiwei: Can you remove the part about the status-* tag? They are default tags on meta sites
 
@nhahtdh what about tag-wiki?

@Taisho Ohhh :3 cool
 
@GaoWeiwei Tag wiki is a feature, though?

we can't maintain them anyways, only possible with popular series
