As it stands right now, this does not fit the nature of how CR works and would be flagged as off-topic. That being said, though, you could rework this question to be on-topic. You have the basis for a strong question here. You just need to solidify your proposed change and design a full question around that. Don't worry about the old code.

@Quill The Stack Exchange Statistics Explorer I've been working on for, well, forever has some screenshots in chat.
And will be live here shortly.
Okay, not sure why you're pinging me about it, but cool nonetheless!
Oh, I thought you were one of the ones interested in it.
I haven't been in chat much lately, so I don't really know much about it, to be honest
One of the users in the PPCG chat is making a Data Explorer for chat
I started this project in April...lol
01:12
Yeah, but I haven't been following your updates, so I don't really know much about it beyond those pretty graphs and daily stats you used to do
01:23
Well I'm building a front-end for the graphs.
<-- Still looking for person to do critter colab with.
Nifty, you can now choose a field to filter on.
And they all work.
And theres nothing hardcoded for them as far as JS goes.
Sweet.
@EBrown What is this project about? I think I heard some about from Phrancis but I don't quite understand (unless this is differnet)
It's basically a portal/dashboard/whatever for people to view a bunch of data I'm collecting on all SE sites.
So you can select a site and see a plethora of stats on it.
Is it like an API?
01:31
It will have one, but it also has a GUI.
I'm about to deploy it live so that you guys can mess with it for a bit while I add the actual graphing.

@Trojan404 No lol
random is as secure as you can get
16 random = more secure than 33 sentence
No, it's not, really.
from an instance of social engineering at least
01:52
if you're talking about pure digit tracking then that's different
HOLY CARP IT WORKS
Quite slow, though.
Never mind, it's fine.
Just compilation crap for first page view.
@EBrown the difference is most sights still don't realize they need to allow longer passwords. thus the limit is 16 usually
Why is IE so dumb.
Now Safari doesn't view things correctly.
Because IE does.
@EBrown just render everything on server and send image to user. Include some js to send clicks to server so it can rerender. (yes I'm joking)
I can't imagine the bandwidth costs or ttfb if someone actually did that

Feel free to play with that.
I need to fix one bug with the Sites Currently Logged page.
@Trojan404 Guess what? Most places don't accept passwords 2048 characters long.
As a matter of fact, it is having trouble downloading the remember tokens for one that long :P
@Hosch250 See my link above ^^
@Hosch250 which ones do?
@arda Don't know any off-hand.
I do 50 sometimes and consider that overkill
02:02
My U stops at 32 for some services, and 128 for the Google-based ones.
@EBrown Where's the graphs?
@Hosch250 Working on them now.
@arda That happens on small screens, I'm going to be doing away with that whole table most likely.
@EBrown ok :/
I need to get a bugs/features thing up quick for it.
for that matter, 1366x768 is not THAT small.
@EBrown just open a github repo
02:04
@arda Windowed or full-screen?
@EBrown full screen
@arda Alright, let me see what I can do with that.
@arda What size device?
@arda Does that on my 5K display as well. Definitely a bug.
I honestly have a hard time believing they make 15" laptops with that pixel-density anymore.
02:05
@Hosch250 15.6
I wonder if a reword of "Unanswered" and shrinking that column a bit would get more room.
@EBrown loads of free space around the page
Same as my screen, which is 1920 x 1080.
reduce the offset
02:06
@arda Well foundation makes it in the middle like that for a reason.
It makes it easy to make it responsive.
Yeah, you don't want the lines too long, typically.
@EBrown I know
It is, what, %25 atm? I'm recommending reducing it a few percentages
TBH, I didn't know Arqade had that many users and votes.
Oh, I guess the password generator figures that if your password is 51+ characters long, you can remember it without help :P
@EBrown arqade gets loads of new users. we are also a pro-vote community. There is literally one tenacious badge awarded.
02:08
@arda Fixed. :)
Just removed the parenthesis around the changes, should be self-explanatory.
@EBrown looks much better
@EBrown any raw links to data? wanna mess with it in pbi
@arda No, not yet.
Going to add those here shortly.
Those actually come with graphs...lol
@EBrown You should add one graph to the boxes.
It will make things look a little spicier.
@Hosch250 I can.
I was thinking that questions asked would be a good one for that.
@arda That's actually really good, though.
Do Questions Asked Per Day in a specific range.
02:14
@Hosch250 Last 30 days?
@EBrown yeah. Wish it was still at zero though. Can I like, refund the badge or smth?
No axis labels or ticks or anything, just a line.
@arda If only...lol
Yeah, just a line that goes up/down.
30 should be good, maybe 60 if it seems too narrow.
GTG. BBL.
02:15
@arda Lol That's kinda funny.
@Hosch250 Should be fine, it's all responsive as is.
@EBrown yeah, having the only badge that was awarded once in a huge website is a weird feeling
Performance will be the only concern.
^bragging silently
@arda I'd bet! Lol
oh man 2 hours until gamejam ends and I still have loads of stuff to do :/

@DanPantry why would I be?

Not only that, you've been RO for as long as I can remember.

@DanPantry that's not really a bad thing. It helps retain users if it's not an office meeting in here :)
because office meetings are usually boring
10:45
Yeah, that's the good part
Sometimes it may get taken a bit too far
so for future reference: I sure wouldn't mind additional ROs
because that (most probably) means I can step away for things without worrying
If you need me, you know where to find me. I'm available if you do, but I'm not going to push for it.
In the meantime, there's questions and answers in need of some votes. I'll be out shooting some.
I'm also available, but I would be hesistant to accepting it before seeing my workload at Riot.
@EBrown whıch parts are confusni
I assume that means you got the job? Congrats :)
10:53
@Vogel612 Yes, the preliminary offer should be received sometime this week (I'm hoping today but it's likely not until Tuesday)
I can't help but wonder why sometimes getting an actual job offer takes so long after you went through all interviews
Well the situation is that after you go through all the interviews you need three references, one of which must be your boss at your work
On my last job I've had one interview (with CEO, CTO and a Dev) and I signed my contract not quite a week after that
I told my boss I was going to get the job at Riot on Monday but I needed him to be a reference
Riot emailed him the reference form, as well as my other 2 references, on Tuesday
But my boss didn't hand it in.... so his manager filled it in in his stead, which was submitted on Wednesday
@DanPantry Is that Riot policy or something you've encountered more often?
10:57
Given those timescale it would have been very unlikely to hear anything last week
I expect I'll hear something early this week. Today, or tomorrow
@Vogel612 I'm definitely a bigger fan of such timescales than the likes Dan encountered here.
I've been in close contact with the Hiring Manager since he submited the offer and I'm basically on the team in spirit now so it's just finalising how relo will work.
@Mast It's Riot policy, I've never been asked for a reference before.
That said, you could be a really good interviewee and a really bad colleague
or your boss could be out for you :/
He has no reason to be
I'm not on his project any more. From a selfish POV it doesn't matter
My boss was also going on holiday the next day so it's not unreasonable to think he would be busy
His manager didn't even bother to try to counter-offer. NOt because they didn't want to keep me (they did) but they knew they could never compete
my office politics skills are basically nonexistant
10:59
It's entirely possible he has it in for me, but I would consider it very very unikely
I mean, my boss literally said I could take all of my AL off to leave my contract early... (17 days => 16th sept last day)
Zak
Zak
IMO, taking an extra week or two before you hire somebody just to check everything on their CV that is confirm-able and ask for references is well worth it. But if you were going to be extra-awesome, you'd hire sombody immediately, with a proviso that they'll be fired if their references don't check out satisfactorially. Best of both worlds that way.
They have already hired me in essence, as I said. It's just a case of having a formalised offer on the table.
Zak
Zak
Plus, I would imagine, they wouldn't just take your boss's word for it if he decided to try and sabotage your reference.
I really, really should be looking into Dublin rental prices at lunch today so I can be prepared for how much to ask
Zak
Zak
@DanPantry Have you not discussed salary yet?
11:01
I am 100% confident my boss would not give a crap reference.
@Zak There has been a ballpark estimation
But it is still open for negotiation
@Zak Smells like a linked list problem
The ballpark is €60k/y. Given the rate of taxation in ROI, this works out to be approximately €3.5k/m, which is just not enough to have a healthy balance of rent costs if I want to live in central Dublin. I'd need to ask for 70-80k for that
@DanPantry did you work out how the brexit thing works with you and riot?
@Vogel612 No one knows yet, not even Riot
Brexit has not been negotiated
Hell, we haven't even pulled the trigger yet
I think if riot are willing to pay this much though they would be willing to get me a visa if it came to it
@DanPantry really? Because that's a solid amount more than I earn in Central London
11:03
@Zak That's what happens hear. Your first month or so is a period where both parties can decide it wasn't a good idea after all.
@JeroenVannevel renting for studios starts at €1.4k a month.
ah, living on your own?
@DanPantry youch that's heavy
That's more expensive
Zak
Zak
@DanPantry Maybe, but you have something of a problem in that you've already taken the job, in essence. So your negotiating position is limited.
11:04
@Zak I have not taken the job
@DanPantry In Dublin?
I have not said "Yes, I will work for you"
You've quit your other job though
Zak

@DanPantry No, but you have told your current boss.

@Mast Germany has a probation period by law. It can be at most 6 months and the contract can be terminated at two weeks notice during that time
But I have faith Riot won't low-ball me.
@Mast yes. check out daft.ie
the riot office is in Dublin 2
@Vogel612 I think it can be terminated with even less notice here during that period.
11:06
Of course, there is public transport, but I'd realllllly prefer to be nearer to the city center if possible - within 2km, which is what I do now to walk to the office.
I currnetly live within 1km of the city center of Cardiff
@Mast if you mess up hard enough you can be terminated without notice, so there's that
I see 800-1000/m for a shared accomodation
that's doable
Don't you want flatmates?
I am never, ever going to do shared accommodation again. It's just not on the table.
I've done it before, it didn't work out.
@Vogel612 Of-course, but the employee can decide it isn't going to work out as well. And IIUC he doesn't have to work a full 2 weeks from the moment he tells so.
Eh, you had some bad luck then. Could go a lot better 2nd time around

And if I were, it would have to be with a girlfriend or someone who I trust. Not some random person.

@DanPantry Not a question of low-balling. But it is leaving money on the table. Have you ever read this?
@Zak, no, I haven't. Thanks for the link. Ill read it during lunch
I have 6 weeks after moving to Dublin to think about htis
My main concern is getting somewhere too expensive such that the deposit is too high to be covered by the wage of the first pay packet.
I have savings, of course, but I'd rather not dip into those to rent a place lol
eh, that deposit is offset after 1 à 2 months
And Riot have said they don't want the relocation to cost me anything
not really dipping into savings
11:09
so it's possible they may yet still offer help with that. Who knows. this is all TBD
Zak
Zak
@DanPantry IMO, this is one of those times when it's worth thinking about what's best for you first, and then figuring out short-term cashflow around it.
@Zak definitely.
I live 4 minutes by bike from the station. It would be 15 minutes walking. Consider getting a bike if you can get something decent just out of the range you got in mind.
Zak
Zak
Help with relocation is also one of those things you can negotiate over.
Going to get food, we can talk about this after I get back. @Mast My main concern is living too far from the city (and by extension social sphere). @Zak yes, that's will be part of the offer package I should receive early this week.
