Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

3

What is the name of the software that PaleoHacks uses? I've seen it other places and am curious.
Has anyone else had differences in the their points not being updated? For the most part, I could care less about these point things (though I do think it is an ingenious way to crowd manage the conversation...also has a draw back to limit potential fresh thinking...aka the hidden dangerous of one-person-one-vote democracy defending itself from innovation), but I do find it interesting that for me they are not being updated in the gray box or on my own stats page, but will be show up with higher points in a particular question that I answered. Any thoughts on why this is? Similar experience?

Thanks, Justin

Can't answer the question, but I think it's a good one. As a former teacher, I find it fascinating that people (myself included) are highly motivated to post, read, and study in this format. Certainly, college classes would benefit from using a similar setup, perhaps to discuss the readings. Might enhance participation. And I think high schoolers could benefit as well. – wjones3044 Apr 1 2011 at 17:07

...yes, me too, I'm an adult educator...also studying adult learning and development and this format is facinating to me as both a 'hacker' but also a student-educator interested in the phenomena of hacking...and this format is facinating for those of us who are looking for tools to facilitate learning-growth-development...scaffolding our own growth. Cheers to that! – Justin Apr 1 2011 at 17:14

Justin, this is what I think is going on. The 107/97 thing is easy: you just got upvoted. The 107/131 thing is because you have two accounts: both with the name Justin, both with the same auto-generated avatar pattern, but nevertheless different accounts. One is 3519, the other is 3560 (look at the four-digit number in your URL). I'm guessing you log into one of them in one place and the other in another place? We can merge the two accounts, if you want. You just have to tell us which one of the two (which four-digit number) you want to subsume the other. – Paul Apr 1 2011 at 17:30

There you go, accounts merged. Your questions and answers and reputation points from the other account are now in this one. – Paul Apr 1 2011 at 18:55

Software is Stack Exchange. They have a whole network of sites based on it.

I'm guessing that the database caches pages or stats and that's why its not updating uniformly. Clear your cache and try again - see if its consistent throughout?

Stack exchange is the programming set , and when I've wanted to learn more about how it is being implemented and used I check out http://meta.stackoverflow.com/ and read around.

Very educational to me, I always get a bit more out of watching people troubleshooting a question or problem than I do out of reading a manual.

Come to think of it, that may be why I love paleohacks so much!

	...thanks for the link. ...also...yes...learning from watching others learn is an efficent way...a self-directed learning hack. – Justin Apr 1 2011 at 20:51
	when I look at the stackexchange site it says there are only 46 sites and this is not listed. so is this part of that network, or independant of it. Can someone use this software outside of that network? thanks – Justin Apr 1 2011 at 22:24
	meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/65051/… states that we are a stack site, but not connected to The StackExchange site. – Adam Crafter Apr 1 2011 at 23:03
