@Mast twitter; 15 hours ago so that's not helping
I put in an edit on that question, which clarifies the past attempt, but I suppose we'll see
@StackExchange @Quill You're aware you're linking to only one blog while you're talking about several users?
yeah
I'd say that's bad practice.
15:05
anyway, I'll ping a CM in the tavern next time I see one to ask
I'll edit it for ya
The answer will probably be: we're not getting one
Although we could make a very specific request if we got enough people willing to vouch for it.
I would like to have one but at the same time
The people likely to contribute to the centralised blog would already have their own blog.

Legally, we have to produce one for every Pension Transfer we do.
And we do quite a lot.
Updated figures: More like saving 2 hours per report, and we do ~20 a week, on average.

And it will scale (for a reasonable amount of scaling. Say an order of magnitude, at which I'd hope we might get an actual software dev. team going.)

that could work, provided that you first put in research effort

There are a few reasons this question is too broad. 1) Asking us how to design your system is (by definition) primarily opinion based (and too broad, as there are a lot of different ways to do it). 2) You're asking too many questions. 1 question per question; and it should be about a concrete problem you have; not an open ended "how do I best design this" question.

how do you know that 10 / 0 != infinity?
@Malachi It's undefined because it's an illegal operation.
Unless l'Hopital, but that only counts in some events.
You got 10 mugs, but you divide them over 0 users.
How many mugs does each user get?
you are guessing
you divide 10 into pieces of the size .0000000000000000000000000000001 you have more than 10
Yes, that statement was bogus. But you're dividing a defined number by another defined number and assume the result is undefined.
the value of f(x) as it approaches zero for f(x) = 10/x, is infinity
1 / 0 == infinity
2 / 0 == infinity
1 == 2
That's JavaScript.

anyone knows how to set up a Twitter feed in a chatroom? it seems VBA Rubberducking has lost its Twitter feed, and I don't know how to restore it :(
@SimonForsberg?
@Mat'sMug same problem in Cardshifter TCG.
both of us used some kind of Google Script thingy that took the Twitter data and converted it to RSS
so I guess the Google Script thingy broke
or Stack Exchange broke
I had the idea of making use of Twitters API in @Duga, so that she could fetch tweets
19:02
wouldn't that be stretching her scope a little?
I call feature creep!
OTOH, you could host a service that does what Stack2RSS did, no?
@Mat'sMug I was hoping to hook her up to Twitter in another way

Q: Promise.spread "Polyfill"

Jack WilsdonI have written this "Polyfill" for Chrome's Promise object and I have some concerns about the implementation; Does it actually work as designed? It seems to work but I'm not sure if there are any "edge cases" I am not accounting for. Is there a better way to do it? The inner function way seems ...

Q: Using fetch() and a new Promise object to get API results

Ben HoytI've written an ES6 function using the new fetch() API and returning a new resolved promise with a data object or a rejected promise with an error subclass. I'm pretty new to both ES6 and Promises, and it looks a little unwieldy, so I'm wondering if there's a better way. I'm also wondering about...
