@kingledion I remember working on porting models to run on A-IX on the new Risc System 6000. Modflow in particular. Horrors— trying to emulate dynamic memory management in arrays in Fortran!

@kingledion git has only been around for a few years…that must make you like what? A toddler?

A: Sandbox for Proposed Questions

A post-apocalyptic industrial revolution It's been a couple of thousand years since humanity bombed itself back to the stone age. Most places are now safe to travel through but there's barely any sign of the old cities, new ones have sprung up in their place. The population is recovering, the fo...

Q: Dealing with problem sandbox users

Since switching over to the new sandbox its use has been dominated by two users. They have proposed a number of questions that have been negatively received. Many of these questions have either been pointed out as being probably a duplicate or have suggestions of how to modify the questions to a ...

discussion sandbox low-quality

But take a look at it

Secespitus

@RedactedRedacted There is no Feed for answers to every post. Only to the Sandbox

Redacted Redacted

Ok

Oh, I see now, it only Feeds question

from the meta

Secespitus

Okay, so you've officially declared yourself a troll.

Redacted Redacted

10:46 AM

Indeed.

Secespitus

Now you already have two downvotes on that post. If you go on like that we can see how many negative answers you need to get answer banned on Meta...

You shouldn't expect too much feedback from me from now on.

@RedactedRedacted can you state what it is for the readers of this room? Assume nobody will watchnthe video just to find out what you’re talking about.

@RedactedRedacted What? Why did you ping us with no content?

Redacted Redacted

Why you pinged me thrice? It's almost ear rape for me!

JDługosz

@RedactedRedacted Jó nap!

@RedactedRedacted what?!

Redacted Redacted

Also, why Secespitus said, that I'm "officially declared myself as a troll?

Also, Broken magyar is not good.

It's Jó napot.

JDługosz

@RedactedRedacted because of your comment worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/55663/… you said that your remark «Also, I'm a genetic engineer» is an “obvious troll”.

Redacted Redacted

Everybody was that, once

But it was really just sarcasm

@RedactedRedacted listen. I don't know how serious you are being with some of the questions/answers/comments you put up on here. But many of the people do, indeed, take this hobby seriously. They enjoy doing this stuff and enjoy helping others. So if someone drops by that just seems to roll for the giggles, people will eventually get upset. If you're trolling, then fine, there's the door (marked with a friendly x) - show yourself out and go bother someone else.

Redacted Redacted

Have you even read the answer?

Secespitus

@dot_Sp0T Perfect summary

Redacted Redacted

Do you even realize, how long it took to gather all intel?

JDługosz

@RedactedRedacted and did not answer the query. Since your profile lacks any useful detail, I'll make something up to share my mental image. Score me +5 for on-the-nose random detail +3 for pretty good in right concept, 0 for could-be-anyone, -2 for misses, -5 for specific detail miss. OK?

Redacted Redacted

What are you talking about?

@JDługosz

JDługosz

11:47 AM

@RedactedRedacted you mean preparing for writing an answer? YES indeed. See all the high-quality informative posts around here? People put work into them.

Months passed when this concept was silently developed.

Along with the plasma weapons

JDługosz

@RedactedRedacted I'll say what I’m guessing about you, and you score the results. If others want to play, let them post before giving the score.

Secespitus

@JDługosz I'd love to, but we have a "Be nice" policy

dot_Sp0T

@JDługosz just, in case you feel like using them, don't use any profanities :)

Secespitus

@dot_Sp0T Great minds think alike :D

@Secespitus 10/10 would post again #D

dot_Sp0T

@Secespitus it's mostly about keeping to a baseline

@kingledion I did some poking around and found that the reason that MITgcm recompile s each time is because the code allows you to inject your own code for your simulation.

I was looking at the atmospheric simulation and there's a little *.F file for forcing. Bleh.

Compiling someone else's code then executing it seems like a security nightmare waiting to happen.

dot_Sp0T

@Green that's what you're getting everytime you use a library you haven't written yourself. You never know if there ain't a line somewhere opening a socket connection and pushing all your data to a server in Syberia

Ok, my mental image of User 32097 is: 14-year-old male, currently on school break. Staying, if not at home, at least somwhere in the same general longitude (eastern europe) but not in the UK. Native language is Magyar, but was exposed to American English at an early age, either via family members or lived somewhere else. …continues

Been into roll playing games for 2 1/2 years; Playstation as long as you can remember. Favored reading material is RPG stuff — don’t know what to call it — but things to incorporate into the scenareos you build, often with some story context.

Green

@JDługosz I think that's about right.

… bilingual, but goes to a school system that did not cover English Composition.

Also draws artwork.

Sometimes posts on an iPhone (as opposed to Android)

Lives in the city or suburb, heavier than what we call suburbs here though.

Green

@dot_Sp0T Good point. There's probably a way to lock down what that code can do super duper hard so if there are shenanigans, they won't get far.

dot_Sp0T

@JDługosz golly cheeseflips, you gotta pull one of these on me!

JDługosz

Oldest kid, has a younger sister. Close to a relative like an aunt or great aunt?

So… anyone else want to play before he scores it?

Redacted Redacted

@JDługosz TL; DR: WRONG

I have A Wii

But I watch youtube videos on it.

Also, don't dare to associate me with filthy console peasants

Green

Picked on at school though not a ton. Smart enough to exploit WB mechanics but not empathetic enough to consider other people's time.

I disagree on the reading material - doesn't read much, spends that time watching Anime

Redacted Redacted

Favorite Youtuber: Austin of Shoddy Cast

Green

@Secespitus agreed.

JDługosz

@dot_Sp0T well, you need to update your profile page since you got the new domain.

Redacted Redacted

@Green A bit close, but doesn't cross the Lolumbine Treshold.

Secespitus

@JDługosz Will you do an analysis on everyone on the chat?

Humor: "You see, it's all a show people laughing as you go, but remember, that the last laugh is on you."

dot_Sp0T

@JDługosz oh no, I should just put up some DNS entries whenever I get time

JDługosz

@RedactedRedacted I never would have guessed! Pegged you for Playstation but dislike Xbox. I got my parents a wii for Christmas BTW.

@Green be nice. And focus on deductions, not primary observations.

Redacted Redacted

@JDługosz I don't have an iPhone, those are for spoiled, Apple praising kids.

But an android

I have a tendency to mess up chat edits, because some idiot thought that 0.001% color difference is more than enough for a readable text.

JDługosz

@Secespitus no, I have not really paid attention; only the helping with post feedback and the stuff dumped on chat has given impressions. For people discussing work, there's no guessing needed.

dot_Sp0T

@JDługosz ah c'mon, please do me

@RedactedRedacted what about everything else? Total score?

dot_Sp0T

(Yes that came out wrong, no I'm sticking to what I said)

Redacted Redacted

@JDługosz About me?

JDługosz

@dot_Sp0T you’d be surprised how often I heard that in my younger days.
