Moderator vacation

Stack Overflow uniquely requires moderators to operate with a standard of duty. Even so, moderators generally feel a sense of obligation to be around in case of problems. Such voluntary dedication is much appreciated and often means people really enjoy what they are doing. But everyone needs a vacation from time to time.

Currently, we have no good way for moderators to communicate their vacation plans to either to Community Managers (we suggest they email us), other moderators (this usually happens in chat) or other users (more on this momentarily). In addition, the temptation remains to "just handle that one flag" if a moderator happens to browse their site while theoretically off-duty. Finally, I believe "vacation" might be a graceful way for moderators to step down if the job stops being fun and rewarding.

This is a book for learning more Perl. Neither a reference book nor a tutorial book, the Perl Cookbook serves as a companion book to both. It's for people who already know the basics but are wondering how to mix all those ingredients together into a complete program.—Tom Christiansen & Nathan Torkington, "Preface", Perl Cookbook

Asking on Stack Overflow is a bit like sitting at a sushi bar. If you respect the traditions, there is no better experience. Where else can you get a personalized answer to your programming question from a true master of the field? Unlike sushi, anyone with access to a search engine can sample Stack Overflow answers. What could be better?

Well, suppose someone is standing behind you at the bar and they grab some fish off your plate. After tasting it, they tell the chef, "Hey, could I get that with a bit more salt?"

Completed

• Add date/reason for absence to the mod page instead of being in the title attribute.
• Network vacations for mods with more than one site.
• Send notifications to community@ automatically.
• Status on meta should inherit from main.

Declined

• Begin and end dates for pre-planned absenses. [Unfortunately, because of the way moderator vacation was been implemented, this was not easy this time around.]

Copying vs Assignment

Assignment Constructor

The Assignment Operator is when you replace the data with an already existing(previously initialized) object with some other object's data. Lets take this as an example:

// Assignment Operator
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

Since early on in the private beta of Documentation, we’ve used a simple, rigid structure:

Tags => Topics => Examples + optional sections

At the time, users wondered if this was the right structure. Since Documentation is a grand experiment, I figured we’d wait to see how the structure gets used and adjust as needed. But rather than being a step in the right direction, tags and topics were just getting in the way. We didn’t address the problem partially because we focused on other broken features and partially because we hoped the current system would pan out. At long last, we’ve got the message: fundamentally the structure we provided isn’t working. This isn’t something we can address by tweaking a few features; it’s the foundation of the entire product. Let’s work together to find a way of organizing Documentation that’s better than what we have now and, perhaps, revolutionizes the entire gen

I'm using R to plot some data I pull out of a database (the Stack Exchange data dump, to be specific):

dplyr::tbl(serverfault, 
           dbplyr::sql("
select year(p.CreationDate) year,
       avg(p.AnswerCount*1.0) answers_per_question,
       sum(iif(ClosedDate is null, 0.0, 100.0))/count(*) close_rate
from Posts p
where PostTypeId = 1

group by year(p.CreationDate)
