Poll: Cornify - what else would make sense?
-
Continuing the discussion from Feature Request: Cornify tag!:
Why stop at unicorns? What about... oh, I think I'd better make it a poll:
What cornify-like gadgets should be available on Discourse at the click of a button?- piggify - remembereing Pink Floyd?
- toasterfy - in rememberence of a famous screensaver
- kittyfy - Hello Kitty, anyone?
- starwarsify - make yoda et al. appear
- startrekkify - beam me up, Scottie!
- @blakeyratify - for, you know, certain *mentions *
- some-other-i-fy - please specify below
- none of that
- all of that
- FILE_NOT_FOUND
Ok, that's all I can come up with right now so let the poll begin!
-
I voted too quickly. Had to change my vote.
-
-
Fucking knee-jerk reactionary.
The key is to train your reactions so they're right the first time. Unfortunately, FILE_NOT_FOUND in a poll is a barrier to reading the other options.
-
I voted for FILE_NOT_FOUNDify.
-
I'm highly disappointed that I can't select both "all of that" and "none of that". It's uncalled for.
-
As a big Pink Floyd fan, I had to vote Piggify - but all would be great!
Cornify first though!
-
What disturbs me are the two votes for "kittyfy" at this time (2hrs into the poll).
-
I assume the "like" that post just received signifies the person in question did not vote for "kittyfy". Good! :-)
-
Does "All Of That" include "None Of That"?
-
Now that you say it...
- all of the aforementioned
- none of the aforementioned
would probably have been better.
-
But I much prefer that "All Of That" contains a breakdown in logic. Because then I can be pedantic about poll options.
-
Does it really? Perhaps this is a "quantum poll" tm where "all of that" can contain "none of that" so that only when the votes are finally counted does the probability matrix break and one or the other option appears to have been voted for?
-
-
That doesn't look like a proper piggy/toaster.
-
"quantum poll" tm
Would that mean that we don't know if Hello Kitty is alive until we open the box?
-
Probably.
Filed under: But we could send Dirk Gently to find her if we open the box and she is gone.
-
Well, I see a problem right off the bat. The topic asks what would make sense, but the poll asks what should be available. What would make sense is clearly none of that nonsense, but what should be available is, possibly, all of it (except kittyfy).
Also, because this is TDWTF I feel obligated to vote for FILE_NOT_FOUND, but if I were free to chose one quasi-real answer (other than "all of that"), it would be "@blakeyratify", because reasons. I think there should also be a "blakeyrantify" option, to add swearing and YELLING and "you're the worst of the worst" to a post.

Should have had 'pedantic dickweedify' somehow.
-
Most of us don't need the site to do that for us.
-
But why can't we have the software make it easier for us to do so? I thought computers were supposed to automate shit for us.
-
-
Indeed.
-
-
And thus the need for huge pipes
-
And huge pipe cleaners for when the intertubes get all clogged.
-
Someone call for a huge pipe cleaner?
*unzips*

@Arantor did, oh looks like dropped the soap too

@blakeyrat-ify
foreach (String Word in Blakeypost.split(' ')) { if (Random.Next(0,10) != 10) {Word = Word.ToUpper();} }Should be enough.

Markdown supports ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.
Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably

Interesting, I had forgotten that + was a valid list char in Markdown. So is asterisk actually.
- list
- list
- list
as
* list - list + listWhat's annoying is that numbered lists don't respect the ultra-common ) as a numbered list signifier e.g.
- list
- list
- list
vs
- list
- list
- list
In Markdown-Next, the real spec version, we support both . and ) as numbered list chars.

My personal favourite is putting three hyphens after a line break bolds the preceding line

Because in classic ASCII layout

<h2>actually. Three ='s gives you<h1><h1>- equals<h2>- dashesOr
one hash - h1
two hashes - h2
three hashes - h3
...
six hashes - h6
####### seven hashes - h6 with a preceeding hash - that's just broken...

I certainly haven't.

I'm just more used to wiki-syntax
==Heading 2== ===Heading 3=== ====Heading 4====
Formatting indicators on the same line as the text they're there to format. Line breaks should be exactly that, line breaks. End Of Line.
I somehow never ran into this on any of the Stacks. I don't tend to try and use horizontal lines there, I guess.

[b]bold 1 (BBCode)[/b]
bold 2 (plain html)
bold 3 (Discourse two asterisks)
''not bold (MediaWiki two quotes)''
bold 4 (h2, hyphens)
##bold 5 (h2, hashes)
bold 6 (h1 equals)
#bold 7 (h1 hash)
Did I miss a markup?

I have no idea how to log into that ID thing you needed for SO any more.

GitHub, no, never. I'm not violently opposed to its very existence, like @blakeyrat; I've just never been involved with a project that used it.
I've certainly read SO; in fact, I have a Q/A open in another window at this very moment. I can't remember for sure, but I think I may have tried to ask a question once, only to be told I couldn't because I didn't have a high enough reputation. WTF? FTS!

Same, I find lots of good info on StackOverflow, but if I ever try to ask a question or contribute it won't let me.

They're convenient, but I don't trust them. Don't put anything there that you care about other than git repositories, I reckon, as those are easy to replicate elsewhere…

You must've posted something which really irritated someone, such as a flippant snark or something wrong. If it was something else, such as someone being a dick towards you, raise it on their meta so that someone with the privs can take a peek. Get a second opinion.SO is about questions that can be answered definitively, not about open-ended discussion. Getting rep's easy provided you're happy to play the core game by providing good content. Which is the fucking point.

If I'm not fabricating false memories of something that never actually happened, I simply asked a "How do you do X?" question, where I no longer have any idea what X was. I suppose I would have had to register just to ask that question, since that was the first time I ever tried to do anything other than reading, so I definitely had no previous negative snarkiness or anything to have tainted my reputation. The response was an (apparently) automated "You must have at least N reputation to do that," or something to that effect.

I remember when I found a question on
stackoverflowSuperuser that I wanted to add more information to. Something like "why does my computer not respond to the function keys", and I had found that in my computer this only happened when you had Asus Shitware 3.5 installed, information that would surely help someone smarter than me figure out the rest of the problem.But I could't add a comment because that apparently requires an account with 50 reputation. 50 reputation sounds like a lot. What am I supposed to do, spend 3 or 4 days posting the site before I can add a single comment? No thanks.
I even took the time to register and verify an email, which is enough for 99% of sites (the other 1% make you wait 24 hours), but nope.
Good thing I couldn't participate on the meta either, or I would have complained to someone.

Write it as an answer with a note that you wanted to comment but couldn't. A moderator will fix it up for you (a process that goes faster if you flag your contribution immediately after making it). It's not rocket surgery.

That's wonderfully discoverable, and rather a bit of a barrier to participation.

I love me a bit of irony.
