Q: Hat position is wrong in iOS app, scrolls with page

When visiting my profile on the mobile app, my hat scrolls with the page: It doesn't stay linked to my icon at the top. I'm on an iPhone 6+ running iOS 9.2 and version 1.4.1 of the SE app.

David

@Quill-HATMANIAC so I figured, but...

@Quill-HATMANIAC what is it (because I probably already emailed it to him will save you another no email)

Quill - HAT MANIAC

@David I tried posting an inappropriate term on ELL but it didn't work

Aw. Too bad.

Q: What is the etymology of the term “Bumfiddler”?

I heard about about the term 'bumfiddler' from a E-Newsletter I receive, and I was wondering the etymology of this term? Is it a purely sexual phrase, or does it have a more mainstream / normal usage? This website seems to define it as: Noun: - A busybody / fidgety person. Is, or shoul...

etymology

how does that not HNQ ;-;

@JoshCrozier You're the only one, other than Community. But this early in the week, that shouldn't be possible... what'd you do? I must have missed an edge case.

@Pops that is what I was trying to figure out.

Josh Crozier

Votes on deleted posts don't count towards the 40 limit.

David

@JoshCrozier so you voted on posts, then deleted them?

Pops

So, you found a lot of posts that looked like they were on their way towards deletion and downvoted them before they went poof?

Josh Crozier

Yep

David

Pops

@Pops do all 250 votes have to be in the bash? (I expect so)

Josh Crozier

@David Yeah

Pops

Yeah. The answer to "does it have to happen during WB" is always yes unless the point of the hat is explicitly for something outside of the event.

My idea about Cleanup Crew had been wrong like the edited version of my answer. I have deleted yesterday and today together 42 comments on SO which had been from 2013 and got the hat.

So my guess: it had to be 40 comments older than one year and needs to be deleted in two days in a row. @Pops

Mike Miller

I didn't delete any comments the day before I got the hat.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

probably just delete 40 comments

I'm on my 5th or 6th email to Pops about one of the hats.

I'm actually never going to get a bathtub ;-;

Pops

Sorry, that is incorrect.

Mike Miller

@Pops: Your new hat reminds me of last year's bathtub.

Err, Aztec.

Not bathtub.

These are different words that mean different things.

@Pops: If it means anything to you: I just noticed commutative diagrams on Math.SE (which didn't used to load on the app, since it's not standard MathJaX) now load and actually scroll properly, making the map much, much more usable. Thanks to whoever did this!

@pops - If an hat required a "network wide" action, it would show as awarded on meta? Suppose an hat was given for joining X sites, you would earn it on meta I suppose, right?

To put it in another way: an hat that is displayed as awarded on meta doesn't actually have to be triggered by an action you did on meta. Meta could just be a placeholder for something network wide, right?

@balpha - did my silly mail about buying an hat with unicorn dollar of bacon coin actually at least reach one of us or it was trashed before? Did someone at least smile a little bit?

Occam's razor

Occam's razor (/ˈɑkəmz/) (also written as Ockham's razor and in Latin lex parsimoniae, which means 'law of parsimony') is a problem-solving principle attributed to William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), who was an English Franciscan friar and scholastic philosopher and theologian. The principle can be interpreted as Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. The application of the principle can be used to shift the burden of proof in a discussion. However, Alan Baker, who suggests this in the online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, is careful to point out...

@Derpy Ooh, you thought we reached back into the archives and resurrected Johnny Three-Hats? I like it! Unfortunately, that is not the actual trigger for that hat.

Derpy

@Pops Nope, I was wondering if in an attempt to make people help new sites you could have given a "meta" hat for action taken on another site. Or maybe an hat that triggers after a certain amount of flagging spam done on all the network.

You know... that kind of useful things.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

I've already made nine to Pops about It's over 9000

Mike Miller

:p

Quill - HAT MANIAC

I don't how many meme masters there are out there

but the original Japanese text for that scene

actually said "it's over 8000", but they mistranslated

or increased the amount to 9000 because it sounded cool

but...

no luck there

I've sent pops the general 8000 with x upvotes answers

and the 9000 with x upvotes answers

but no luck so far

note that IIRC one of the It's Over 9000 questions had 8800 views when it received the hat

Mike Miller

I think it's better to spend time on things we have more data on. Maybe we should wait on Over 9000 for a bit.

@MikeMiller It might not be the easiest to interpret, but sure.

Basically what it is: a series of text files, each named by their timestamp, with a list of secret hats, the user who earned that hat, and what page of the leaderboard that user was on.

Mike Miller

@hichris123: Great! I can work with that.
