✎The Official Edit / Race Condition Thread
-
Continuing the discussion from Easier Than Fizz Buzz - Why Can't Programmers Print 100 to 1? (article):
well accalia, does it work now?
EDIT: we should totally have a thread where all the discussion is done via edits
You may only have one post per edit window in this thread. All discussions must be done via edits. Discuss.
that sounds like a barrier to high post counts.
But who needs high post counts? inb4 spoon.
that sounds like a barrier to high post counts. :-P
well i'd like to take the spoon back from my beloved @RaceProUK
But that's what the other topics are for. Plus posting is a barrier to Doing It Wrong
Oi @loopback0 get your own post!
And I apparently overwrote your edit with my own. Nice conflict resolution Discourse!

Sweet! Another topic where the OP is a reply to the last post!
Now it's a reply to itself too
It will only get worse with this thread, I think...
ABUSE EVERYTHING!
Both posts are replies to each other
I think editing other people's posts has run its course for now
Yeah, that's a bit of a WTF
…though because I've been so quiet today, you'll have to get it back from @tar when he inevitably regains it
A new challenger approaches!

Disabled edit histories are a barrier to understanding the conversation in this thread.
The point is to be able to edit your own posts to keep the "conversation" going. Wikified, you have to trust that no one else will edit your posts (besides TL4+ abuse).
Although we can make an Official Wiki thread too I guess.
Well this thread isn't going to be confusing at all, is it now?
CLOSED: NOTABUGASDESIGNED
Maybe we shouldn't have reported that bug on meta.d...
+1...oh fuck I'm not going to get quote notifications either, except the first time someone replies to me...
AGAIN: AS DESIGNED!
Congratulations. You designed a worse forum than discourse. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!
VICTORY IS MINE! Now all I need is Jeffco's approval!
And @boomzilla said "wikified for greater editing" but I overwrote it. And now I overwrote his "Wikified! Edit away!" with this one
+1 to new thread title!
Had to click OK 6 times to get back to the forum...
Same, what tf is that about?
Now I'm getting "You are not permitted to view the requested resource" as the posts in the topic get Wikified. Sounds like a bug that needs reporting.
Oh, that's strange
Hey, @Zecc, I enjoyed your post, but for some reason I couldn't Like it, so take this instead: +퐱
Since likes are meaningless in this topic, +1
Surprised you admitted the mistake instead of deleting it with an edit. Would that be against the rules of the thread, @sloosecannon?
Actually believe it or not I did. I believe editing out mistakes is fine, if it's within the normal ninja-edit window. (figure that one out!)Also, everyone gets one @mention that actually works for everyone else. Use it wisely :P
I'm guessing you could get a reply, quote, mention, and edit notification once from each user...
Actually I got two edit notifications from @boomzilla so I think those aren't limited. This may need additional testing to confirm.
Reserved for future use.
Welcome to the party!
Thanks!
You should summon @boomzilla to wikify your post. I would but I've already used up my summon
(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)
Sigh, really?You're all insane.
And proud of itHaha! Joke's on you! Any TL4+ can wikify/de-wikify a post! And TL4+ can edit anything. As a result, I will be doing it wrong by not wikifying my post!
NO IT IS WRONG! NOOOOOOOO! (actually I don't really care. Meh.)
Well that's just boring
Mission: Bore @abarker completed!
Interesting that @boomzilla's wikification stopped it getting deleted.
Yes. Also YOU BROKE THE RULEZ!!!!!!1
@NedFodder referenced this thread!
Unfortunately I don't think it's still alive......

All discussions must be done via edits.
Gonna be a pretty short discussion then, since the edit time limit is 24 hours (last I remember).
that sounds like a barrier to high post counts.
That should help keep it off the list of "doesn't count for badges" though. Also, it is taking the "consolidate replies" toaster to the other extreme, and consolidating all of your replies into a single post for as long as you can edit the post.

Disabled edit histories are a barrier to this thread.
I never disabled mine, even when I leaked my email in a post.I can't like posts more than once what is this madness
Maybe we shouldn't have reported that bug on meta.d...
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Liked your post because of that quote.I just don't remember what episode it's from.Episode?
I really forgot that that is where the quote is from, and was thinking of something that referenced it.Surprised you admitted the mistake instead of deleting it with an edit.
My edit history is public, so my mistake would be there for everyone to see (unless I'd asked for my edit history to be purged, and someone did so)..
Now I'm getting "You are not permitted to view the requested resource" as the posts in the topic get Wikified. Sounds like a bug that needs reporting.
You're all insane.
You say that (maybe?) like it's a bad thing.
And there goes @RaceProUK already breaking the rules...

ABUSE EVERYTHING!
I can only like your post once.
Well this thread isn't going to be confusing at all, is it now?
I have to re-read every post a few times to understand what everyone is saying. Should become impossible to keep up in about three minutes...
Also I can't like posts more than once what is this madness

Now I wish I'd got the first or second post, CBA with all this scrolling up and down...
SucK it, Trebek!
Had to click OK 6 times to get back to the forum...
I wikified everything I found here.
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just don't remember what episode it's from.
Episode?
I really forgot that that is where the quote is from

Oh yeah, @sloosecannon is totally not gonna get notified...
Actually believe it or not I did

Did you forget the rules, @loopback0?

Maybe not? I got a mention notification.

I'm curious how headache-inducing this thread will be by the time the discodevs discover it
uh oh.
Also my earlier theory is right: stacking multiple modals on top of each other makes the grey approach black
I don't understand this thread, but I wikified everything I found here.
You fool! What have you done?!

well i'd like to take the spoon back from my beloved @RaceProUK

The spoon? Is mine again?! Mine aLL MINE!?!?!?!? we wants IT, the PRECIOUS!
It will be yours later today ;)

I DON'T KNOW! Seemed like the thing to do to prevent the thread from dying, though.
Oh, also, my edit history is public, so...
Hey guys, just wanted to say this thread is too silly for me, so I won't be joining. But have fun.
Hey, @Zecc, I enjoyed your post, but for some reason I couldn't Like it, so take this instead: +퐱
@loopback0 + @abarker YOUR DOING IT WRONG!

Unlikely. The flags were deferred, so probably had no impact on the post being kept around. It was probably the wikifying that saved it.
Nah, I think it was the flags.
I thought we determined that the flags had to be agreed with in order to prevent a post from being deleted. I could be wrong, I suppose.
Filed Under: Doing it Wrong™ x2
If anything, the flags would have to be not acted on.
