Q: ❄️ Winter Bash 2019 Hat list ❄️

DavidThe Winter Bash is back and the hats are listed below. As always, there are only two answers: one for the secret hats, and one for the regular hats. The secret hat list will be updated as we learn them. Only edit the secret hat answer with definitive and correct triggers. This is not the place ...

Q: Winter Bash 2019 Knitting

WELZRepost of Winter Bash 2018 Knitting Share your knits in the answers.

 
Hello. I have a question about the Philantropist hat. It says: award a bounty, to someone else, on the last day of hats. So we are going to wear that hat only one day?
 
@ellisaba very likely to be a bug.
historically that hat was for just want it sounds like awarding a bounty on the last day of the WB. So I'm pretty sure that is a but too.
I'm confident enough to put the trigger in for the Merlin.
 
@David I think would be better if you award that hat, just by starting a bounty on someone else's question, no? :)
 
@Ambo100 what you go and remove that for? You anti fun too?
 
@ellisaba that's not up to us, we are not Stack Exchange staff or devs
 
12:53 AM
@SamuelLiew :) I see. I'm just expressing my humble opinion. Because if it's going to be only one day.. well
 
OK first secret hat is solved! (and in under an hour, not bad!)

Q: Winter Bash 2019 Hats Don't Appear in Chat

RobApparently Winter Bash hats are supposed to appear in chat, but they do not.

 
1:44 AM
@David meaning?
 
@Ambo100 the edit on the Q of the hat list.

DavidSecret hats The Merlin Warm Welcome

 
@David I understood that part. I removed that link because it’s redundant as you were referring to previous years. By all means redact the edit it you like.
 
@Ambo100 no, no. My ping was in jest. The edit does not really bother me.
 
2:17 AM
Hello and Happy Winterbash!
 
2:37 AM
Hi again!
Seems like "Living in the Future"'s the only new hat design so far?
 
2:59 AM
@Panda that is not new
@Eran good to see you again.
@Panda you too :)
PS is nobody else looking for the secret hats?
I have found and solved four already
 
I've already spent all my votes, maxed out a few review queues, deleted old upvoted comments of mine
closed at least 50 questions
added two tag synonyms
 
@SamuelLiew wow. you are going full force.
 
nah, just doing what I normally do (except for deleting my old comments)
 
but mods do not have review limits?
 
maxed means reached at least the normal limit
 
3:05 AM
ok

Q: I just earned a New Year's hat on Dec 8

MachavityI have a new hat... but it's not clear why. And the description needs some help post a message in chat within ±12 hours of the UTC New Year’s begin that gets starred "New Year's begin"? Did you mean within ±12 hours of the start of UTC New Year’s Day And it's Dec 8 to boot. I think w...

 
well I rep capped on meta already...
 
so far I've closed 62 questions, deleted 11 posts, deleted 32,610 comments

32,610 comments! what?!?!
 
+1/-40 votes
we have lots of things to do :)
 
3:08 AM
and I just got 2 more secret hats :)
 
Stack Overflow has 70+ million active comments
you're good!
 
@SamuelLiew that is a LOT!
 
yeah, we can see network stats on SEDE's homepage
 
ok so blue in the face is the only one so far that I'm not sure of the trigger.
I think it might be rep cap, but that is just a guess.
 
multiple comments saying the same thing/has same keywords? flags?
 
3:17 AM
@SamuelLiew I have only left one comment on meta...
I did delete a -3 answer, so that could be something.
 
editing a post multiple times?
 
maybe
that was another of my ideas
 
3:32 AM
@David ahh missed that, it's from 2015; so there aren't any new hat designs this year :/
@David that is fast! and great to see you too!
 
@Panda not yet (and probably not)
@Panda 5 now :)
 
@David congrats! bummer there isn't Eureka anymore
 
Wow cool !
 
@Panda I know right :/
@Panda I did get 2 of those one year though.
 
@David impressive, secret hat triggers were much difficult to figure out back then
(now they're just all the same)
 
3:38 AM
@Panda yes! and I did not have a list(s) of all hats to search :)
 
4:04 AM
wearing two hats now!

Q: Will there be a blog post for Winter Bash 2019?

PandaIn years past, there would be an announcement on the Stack Overflow Blog to launch Winter Bash. WB 2012 WB 2013 WB 2014 WB 2015 WB 2016 (even includes a video!) WB 2017 WB 2018 There doesn't seem to be any announcement so far regarding this year's Winter Bash. Will there be one this year?

 
I can't wait for the end-of-bash post where 9 of the top 10 users will most likely be named Reinstate Monica :)

Almost forgot to knit :D
 
4:14 AM
@X-27 and you just got 007 for that. :)
 
ANy secret hats known?
 
@U10-Forward lol you have not been paying attention. meta.stackexchange.com/a/339894/278094
 
@David True...
Got the hat :P
Uh i got three hats on my snail alredy @David
 
4:30 AM
@X-27 Interesting you got 007 and blue at the same time too.
did you do anything else on meta?
 
@X-27 stackoverflow.com/users/8708364/… decided to rename as well
Oof 1 up-vote away to get 3 hats on stackoverflow.com/questions/56985094/…, just saying don't need to up-vote
 
looks like there is no Galaxy Brain hat this year. odd because there is the Cosmic Brain and Universe Brain hats.
> answer a question that has never been commented on; your answer gets no comments and scores 7+
that would work but would they really have two hats with the same trigger?
 
4:47 AM
@David Errr... not that I know of?
 
@X-27wantstoReinstateMonica hmm then I'm still stumped as to blue.
 
I mean, I upvoted a few of the knitting answers as well
and made that one comment
but other than that, I don't think so -
 
same set up as me both came at the same time.

5:42 AM
Is there a delay in assigning hats associated to earned badges? I earned "Steward" (a gold badge) 3 hours ago but haven't received "Foot of the Rainbow".
 
@dbc same here.
2 hours ago, by David
the Foot of the Rainbow is a slow delivery hat.
@dbc in past years there were some hats that were slower then others, but this one is getting to a point where I'm wondering if there is a bug.
also the get a silver hat comes out in regular time.
 
dbc
And yet I received "Amazing Grace" fairly promptly after receiving the Reviewer badge which makes me think maybe I got the gold badge a few minutes too early...
 
so I do not know. either we'll have the hat tomorrow, or there will be a bug report on the meta tomorrow.
@dbc just checked you got the badge 1h and 50m into the bash. so your good. I guess we just got to wait.
 
dbc
Been waiting for "Werewolf Hunter" (edited 5 questions on meta that were posted more than a year ago) for nearly an hour now as well...
@David Is there a query for that? I couldn't figure out how to get the UTC date & time for a recent badge assignment.
 
@dbc no... just hover over the "3h" on the Steward line stackoverflow.com/users/3744182/…
 
dbc
5:51 AM
@David Ah the disadvantages of having so-so hand/eye coordination and consequently mainly using keyboard navigation. I never think to hover the mouse over anything.

Q: Winter bash Hat Glasses with a number on top was issued early

Gypsy SpellweaverSomehow, with a few hours to spare, I've earned the "Glasses With A Number On top" already. It is slightly more than 12 hours until the UTC New Year. Note: The year number is correct. The timeline is off by a few hours.

Q: The Winter Bash chicken easter egg is broken now - can we fix it?

HitodamaShort story: last year the Winter Bash site featured a little easter egg about a chicken - you can read more here. Now, we all know that the Winter Bash site for this year is based on a recycled version of the last year one. Apparently, in the rush, the easter egg was copied to. The problem is t...

Q: Please don't refer to 2019 as 'a great year'

GlorfindelThere's a bug on the Winter Bash 2019 homepage: Stack Exchange invites you to celebrate the end of a great year …with HATS! As you use your site, you'll discover hats and other items hidden behind certain actions. Collect all of them, some of them, or none of them, but be quick – the hats get...

@Heslacher David's solution is correct. You just have to upvote whether you do it while coming across the post or reviewing it in the queue.
 
@AJ Thats what I did first and waited about 30 minutes. I didn't got the hat and checked on my main site what others had done instead and the only difference had been that they worked the first post review queue.
Which I then did as well and received the hat.
 
A J
Can you link the items you reviewed?
and the post you first voted on.

and that first post you voted on?

Q: Hosted service for queuing and running tasks in parallel in ASP.NET Core

BryderI am attempting to construct a background service for an IIS-hosted ASP.NET Core project that basically queues tasks and runs them, and I decided to go with the IHostedService interface in Core 2.1 because of this tutorial. The tutorial does describe the case of running tasks one-by-one and in th...

ok, maybe I misunderstood the solution. "First post" <> "Post of New user"
But maybe not, because "Hosted service..." is the only post from this user.
 
A J
@Heslacher The post should be posted during Winter Bash.
That post wasn't.
 
Ok, maybe thats the trigger.
Thanks

Q: Long time to get a Winter Bash Hat

YCF_LI gained a golden badge more than 12 minutes ago: but until now I didn't get the Foot of the Rainbow hat, do the hats take so many minutes to be shown in my profile?

Q: Should we close old Winter Bash questions?

Columbia says Reinstate MonicaI see a few questions in the Close Votes review queue here on Meta Stack Exchange for specific questions about the challenges and rewards of Winter Bashes gone by. Some people are voting to close them using the "can no longer be reproduced" reason. In a sense that's true - Winter Bash 2018 and be...

Q: Spot on! Oh, now it is not. The hat positioner is a little off

hatThe hat positioner seems to have a slight offset to the right: I adjusted my new hat to my liking, but unfortunately it doesn't show like that on my profile. I took this picture after reopening the hat pop-up. It is the same with my other hat. I'm running Firefox 70.0.x on Ubuntu.
