Why is alex the subject of so many old memes

Upgoat

12:10 AM

i didnt know dogs were memes

Dennis

@Quill Because he's too polite to do something about it.

Quill

@Dennis That's what I figured ;-;

Mods, might manually excluding some challenges from HNQ be something that we could do or SE could do for us if we wanted it? I ask because if it's possible, I think it would be worth exploring as an option for pop cons.

DJ McMayhem

I've been wondering the exact same thing actually.

Quill

IIRC, CMs can exclude questions from HNQ

DJ McMayhem

12:22 AM

I actually just stumbled across this today:

13

Q: Can we have site-specific control over HNQ?

I know that the Hot Network Questions are chosen by some algorithm, but I was wondering if there is any configurability in that? If not, I would like that as feature request: It would be very good if site-moderators (for graduated sites) could specify certain limitations, i.e. either an inclus...

Quill

They were doing it to Christianity for a while

DJ McMayhem

Cross-site meta.

xnor

@Quill manually, or automatically?

Upgoat

^ When I see marky

DJ McMayhem

@xnor I think this is a very important question since on PPCG in particular, low-quality questions tend to get more answers, and "breaking" the HNQ formula in the process.

xnor

12:26 AM

@DJMcMayhem I completely agree with that post. I had proposed having Puzzling temporarily leave HNQ a while back and was told it wasn't an option

Quill

The other proposal was to automatically protect questions when they enter HNQs

DJ McMayhem

Lock or protect?

Locking them seems like overkill

Quill

@DJMcMayhem the latter

xnor

@DJMcMayhem Yes, exactly. I'd like to say that the hotness algorithm is a relic from the Q&A format that doesn't work well for challenge-style sites, except I'm not clear why having lots of distinct answers is a good feature for Q&A either.

DJ McMayhem

Probably because it means the problem is interesting to many people?

Quill

12:29 AM

There was a lot of discussion similar to this on The Workplace, except in the form of comments; everyone feels entitled to leave a million non-constructive comments there

DJ McMayhem

But that's just a guess.

Comments don't affect HNQ though right?

Quill

HNQ brings traffic, which brings comments

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Upgoat haha

Quill

The last town hall was about comments, actually. You could probably read the transcript if you're interested.

DJ McMayhem

;-; I wish I could've participated instead...

I won't be able for the next one either.

Quill

12:33 AM

The problem is that HNQs bring a lot of traffic to the site/s, but they also bring LQ posts/comments. Limiting the traffic is potentially detrimental to the site; most top-rated challenges generally end up as HNQs

Finding a solution that doesn't get the "eyeballs" on the post to leave early, but not to leave LQ contributions is the challenge

DJ McMayhem

Yeah, I agree. That's why I haven't really thrown a stink about it yet.

Quill

Protecting prevents contribution, in some sense.

DJ McMayhem

Personally, I think the main problem is not that HNQ brings more LQ activity, it's more that it does a bad job at the type of posts it "promotes".

For example, this post:

26

Q: Open the browser to http://codegolf.stackexchange.com

Your job is to open a browser window of the default browser to http://codegolf.stackexchange.com. Your code must open the browser itself, and cannot rely on an open one. This is code-golf, so the shortest answer in bytes wins.

code-golf internet browser

Right now, it's at +49/-23

Quill

As far as changing the HNQ dynamic goes, it's generally easier to let the site mods handle the deletion (a few posts every post isn't all that hard, right)

DJ McMayhem

But that's not always appropriate.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

12:37 AM

@DJMcMayhem in 20 hours?

about that

DJ McMayhem

I don't think that challenge should have been deleted, it just shouldn't have been promoted.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

^

DJ McMayhem

One easy and obvious improvement would be to weigh downvotes much more heavily than upvotes.

Oh, I gtg. Keep discussing! Fix all the problems!

Eric Tressler

The world is a real fixer-upper

Quill

@DJMcMayhem I'm not suggesting the challenge be deleted, I was referring to the low quality answers and comments

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

12:44 AM

And there are like 3 identical python answers.

DJ McMayhem

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yeah, that's my biggest complaint with the challenge. There's no room for creativity.

Quill

There was also an idea presented that mods should have the ability to see a HNQ list, so they can potentially protect them

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem hey, my answer to that has like 36 votes, and actually took a lot of work.

Seriously. @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ didn't document oration well.

LegionMammal978

@Upgoat Is there a way to create a global dependency graph? I can't figure out where the problem lies

DJ McMayhem

But it's so straight forward! There's no algorithm. It's like writing a hello world answer.

LegionMammal978

12:49 AM

@DJMcMayhem Challenge: Open the default web browser to codegolf.stackexchange.com... in BF.

DJ McMayhem

Admittedly, hello world can be very interesting in some languishes (like brainfuck, brain-flak, ><>, piet etc.) But for most any other languages, there's no way to golf it.

LegionMammal978

I guess that it would be technically possible to exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in the BF interpreter...

also Gulp is pretty good, it does TS conversion, orders the dependencies, concats them and then converts SASS and runs my 77 unit tests in under four seconds

Upgoat

like install babel-cli and then hvae make to babel --minify

wait is gulp better than grunt

Quill

Faster, probably. It's a little more confusing to understand though

Webpack is the best though, and more optimised for ES6

Upgoat

eh, I'm planning on moving away from JS automation tools. They are way to buggy and cause too much problems. make is ubiquitous on nix machines

That's fair for Cheddar, but for npm modules or JS progs, then using a JS build tool is probably better

@Doorknob How good at vimscript are you? I'm trying to figure out a way to make V accept 0 as a count. That'll help it with math and calulations. For example, that would drastically shorten your "Faro Shuffle" answer. Can you think of anyway to do that in vimscript?

Excuse the pun in the title, the project this is for is called "Cheddar" (a type of cheese). <shameless self promotion>Github</shameless self promotion> I have recently been writing a language, in which I was using grunt. Grunt was very slow for me, and had a lot more problems for me, so I swi...

Q: Calculate Euler's totient function

Background Euler's totient function φ(n) is defined as the number of whole numbers less than or equal to n that are relatively prime to n, that is, the number of possible values of x in 0 < x <= n for which gcd(n, x) == 1. We've had a few totient-related challenges before, but never one which is...

Hi everyone

looks like SE really doesn't want us to graduate

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@AshwinGupta He accidentally applied a name change on PPCG.

@Katenkyo They did graduate us.

@Katenkyo Hi part of everyone ^^'

But the only perk we have right now is the absence of "beta" in the site hat.

And in chat.

Katenkyo

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Let me rephrase -> looks like SE really doesn't want us to go over the entire graduation process

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

They have a huge backlog with us down the list...

Katenkyo

At this rythm, we could maybe have our design+ rep cap changes within 2 years

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 That's the problem, wy are we down the list? :/

@Katenkyo because PPCG isn't served well with the standard graduation process

Katenkyo

@MartinEnder Is that because we have so much to change regarding the texts in the help center+ the ask question button+ every other little things there's to change? Or just because we don't fit the standard as a SE site?

Martin Ender

yes it's mostly because of those things that imply we're a Q&A site. there is no point in calling the site graduated as long as it still tells new users that they can ask questions about specific problems here.

Latest xkcd: playing pranks on future linguists.

Quill

already beat you to it again

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

I have to adopt that hobby.

@Quill I guess it's your Posting-xkcd-Strips-Bot again. :P

Quill

that was a joke; we get the feed in CR chat and I like to post it here if the conversation isn't too serious

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

You get xkcd autoposted in chat? o_O

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 adopt posting xkcd earlier or hurting linguists?

@ArtOfCode I'm updating the QPixel on C9 instance to add closing/reopening questions and planning to release it to the public this night.

@MartinEnder I agree, that's why I'd like to see this site graduate for real. Actually, we have a lot of challenge posted by new user that are closed and bashed because we can't guide them, and nothing on this site shows our guidelines (except meta, but...).

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Implement Purgesort There are numberous sorting algorithms like Quicksort, Mergesort or Bucketsort that are both very complicated and slow. So it's time to introduce Purgesort. A new algorithm that is class O(n), simple to implement, kind-of stable and also cleans your data. The Algorithm The...
