Q: "Forced" retirement for top users

After reading http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2012/07/kicking-off-the-summer-of-love/ and all the comments it occurred to me that some form of retirement for the sites esteemed users might not be a bad idea. Companies and governments do it all the time with "Forced" retirement if the person does n...

Q: Evaluating the risks of allowing teen moderators on the SE network

I have a David vs Goliath case here involving a teen moderator on Stack Overflow. His display name is BoltClock. I'm a low reputation SO user (less than 150 points) who was recently suspended for Voting Irregularities by BoltClock. Eventually the mistake was corrected by another non-teen moderat...

discussion moderation account-suspension

@murgatroid99 Clearly if you downvote, it's just because you didn't fully read and comprehend his awesome idea!

@MadScientist Oh of course, it MUST be age related.

@Sterno clearly. But then I did read the post completely, and I wanted to downvote again. Sadly, it wouldn't let me

1:31 PM

Isn't this just an awesome reactor design?

@murgatroid99 I couldn't even downvote once, because I don't have 125 rep. So sad.

@YiJiang needs more loops

This is the main reason why that solution is 8k cycles long

@YiJiang Actually, needs LESS loops. That looks all sorts of complicated.

But, good to see you picked it up.

It's possibly the least possible efficient design. I'm redoing the entire level

I also need to do something to dump 1/3 of the hydrogen atoms so that the stoichiometric ratio is correct

1:41 PM

@YiJiang I don't even know what a stoichiometric ratio is.

The ratio of reagents used in a chemical reaction

@YiJiang Huh. I have learned my requisite new thing for the day!

Stoichiometry () is a branch of chemistry that deals with the relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. In a balanced chemical reaction, the relations among quantities of reactants and products typically form a ratio of whole numbers. For example, in a reaction that forms ammonia (NH3), exactly one molecule of nitrogen (N2) reacts with three molecules of hydrogen (H2) to produce two molecules of NH3: : + 3 → 2 Stoichiometry can be used to find quantities such as the amount of products (in mass, moles, volume, etc.) that can be produced with given reactants...

@MadScientist After reading his other suggestions, and his, "Ooh, look at the mods covering for each other" attitude, and not understanding WHY this ideas are downvoted, I'm inclined to have a new favorite moron!

It's funny because although SpaceChem is ostensibly about fake chemistry, real chemistry concepts still apply

1:46 PM

@YiJiang Fake chemistry + basic programming = lots and lots of fun.

@fbueckert the poster of that question became my least favourite person on SE before I even got to his picture

@pixel We're basing opinions on pictures now? Nothing like a kneejerk reaction!

@fbueckert before the picture, before.

The clear discrimination between teen and non-teen

@pixel Your wording was implying that I was basing my judgement on his picture. :P

1:48 PM

boiling blood, unquantifiable rage, and all that

hmm, I suppose you could read it like that

@pixel Also, I'm more teasing than being serious at all.

@fbueckert really? I would have never have guessed. I was completely convinced that you had taken offence to something I said - it didn't bother me at all because I'm used to it, but I was trying to work out how I could simplify my simple statement further

@pixel And the sarcasm is shining through wonderfully. Well done.

I wasn't being sarcastic

Oh. Sorry. Thought you were.

1:51 PM

Another thing that happens too frequently, people thinking.

If you want to simplify the statement, don't mention the picture at all.

Just that the title made him become your least favorite person.

You're right, it was hardly art. I am going to submit an edit defacing his post into something people might actually enjoy reading

No no, I didn't make such an epic jump to pure hatred based on the title, that would be too much of an assumption. It was by the end of the second paragraph though...

@pixel There you go. "Two paragraphs in, this guy's my least favorite person ever."

"Before the picture" and "Two paragraphs in" share the same number of syllables, but the former uses less complex language which is more widely understood by less intelligent people. Plus mentioning pictures means people who don't understand what a paragraph is can immediately jump to the picture and work their way backwards...

You know, I think you were right. I thought that you thought that I had established my hate towards him based on your dislike of the picture.

@pixel I hadn't mentioned his picture anywhere!

1:56 PM

Oh.

Also, well done on giving me something for my brain to unravel!

Only 90 minutes until normality is restored

well, 93 minutes + travel time

(over optimistic)

Normality = home time?

Normality = stoned

the less stoned I am, the more higher brain function I have

which results in issues where I make sense to myself and make no sense to other people

@pixel That might be something you should work on rather than avoiding. Sounds like you just need some practice expressing yourself.

1:59 PM

I understand myself, that's all the matters

@pixel If you want to be a hermit, sure.

besides I would say that expression isn't my weak point - I can express myself, I just need to clarify the state of the conversation before joining it

often I join a conversation making a set of assumptions which do not match up with the public feeling on those particular subjects

which then causes confusion because its like a change of conversation to the same conversation from a different angle

while making perfect sense to me, because everybody else's responses match up with the angle I approached the subject

Yeah, context is important.

There, it's 2.7k cycles now. Time to try to complete the 2.2k cycles challenge

@YiJiang That's over a 50% drop! Well done.

2:05 PM

Yeah, well like I said the previous setup was possibly the worst possible way to complete the level

@YiJiang When I program something, I first hack something together to make sure it works. THEN I work on refining it.

When I program something, I first hack it together and then give it to an actual developer to make it shiney

Hmmm... how to remove 1/2 of the incoming water molecules

@pixel I'm curious how often this works. If someone hands me crap code and says, "Here, fix it.", my initial reaction is that that person is lazy and uninterested in learning properly.

The lazy part would be false, the uninterested part would be true

but since I don't claim to be a programmer, I get forgiven for the 'uninterested' part since the fact I did it at all means that they don't have to design most of the UI

and I comment everything

like essays

2:11 PM

@pixel Blech. I hate essay comments. That's what documentation is for.

Never more than 5 lines at a time

and always stuff that could be streamlined in the proper code, goes back to that 'context' statement from earlier

@pixel I'd find it frustrating to have someone hand me code that they didn't want to improve. You put in the effort to build it in the first place, but you're unwilling to add in more effort to make it better. That sounds like a disconnect.

@fbueckert normally its more of a 'oh thats a good idea, lets get a developer to make it' than a 'here you go, I cba with this, have fun'

like I wrote all of the scripts required to upgrade one of the versions of our software, and then wrote an application in c# that automated the running of the scripts

Wasn't my idea to turn it into a properly written application

@pixel I'm unfamiliar with 'cba'.

cba = can't be arsed

or assed

depending on geographical location

2:16 PM

@pixel Ok, that's a different concept altogether, then. That would be a lot easier to deal with, too.

Don't you hate it when someone takes control of your ideas away from you, though?

nope, any ideas I want to keep for myself don't get created during employment hours

I have no use for a tool to change the collation of a SQL server database while it's attached in my real life

only has a use in my work life

Mild language warning.

@pixel That...sounds dangerous. There's a reason you're supposed to take it down to change it.

@fbueckert meh, danger is my middle name

^_-

@pixel Something tells me to never let you ANYWHERE near my databases.

2:22 PM

but on a more serious note, it only changes user databases, you still need to reinstall sql server for the system databases

and I don't want to go near your databases. Ever. You're one of those developer types who blames the users for doing something you didn't stop them from doing!!!11one

@pixel No, I'm a developer that goes, "Why the crap did you try that!?" :P There's a difference between QA deliberately trying to break your product, and a random user that decides that facedesking his keyboard constitutes a valid input.

facedesking is valid input, I would never have been able to play WoW if it wasn't

1930 cycles - challenge complete :D

every time you say <number> Cycles, I think of this:

It does mean an extra reactor and 25 more symbols

2:26 PM

It says that there are actually people who managed to complete Molecular Foundry with only one reactor

In other news, I have almost 5-skulled every level in Orcs Must Die 2.

@pixel Facedesking is an input. So is directly wiring the USB cable's ground line to the 10kV high-voltage current line above your house. Not every input is valid though, and in some cases the software (and hardware) can just go "meh" and crash and burn.

user15026

@fbueckert I am assuming this is a good thing?

user15026

@fbueckert also, having a solid line of kairobots (or two!) is pretty much the coolest thing ever.

2:31 PM

@MartinSojka I have never tried the USB thing, I should definitely do that, would stop the children in support from sticking keys into USB ports

@AshleyNunn The game's been out for less than a week. I have over 10K career kills.

user15026

@fbueckert very nice.

@AshleyNunn Indeed. I just unlocked the fourth planet. And researched my second line.

@MartinSojka I'd like to meet the user that believes frying their hardware is something my software has to account for.

user15026

@fbueckert Nice. I have...6 planets, I think? And 2 lines of bots. Almost 70 bots :D

@AshleyNunn I have four level 4 houses, so that's 40 bots.

user15026

2:34 PM

@fbueckert Very nice. I have 3 level 6 houses and one level 7 I believe. :)

@AshleyNunn Whew. I need more items to do that.

user15026

@fbueckert my main problem is that I need new items - the ones I have aren't having any effect anymore.

@AshleyNunn Hence why I need new items. :P

user15026

@fbueckert Haha fair enough :P

user15026

I find if you get some Thin Pipe, it does a pretty awesome upgrade of your culture points

Q: How do I unlock all the special Kairobots?

In Kairobootica, you can research various items, and you get either a special Kairobot, another item, something you can sell in your gift shops, or useless junk. I find that the special Kairobots are super useful, and I love knowing what they are and what they do. What items do I need to rese...

if I ever emailed around a picture like that I would definitely get fired

somebody just emailed an animated gif named 'cocaine.gif' around

it is a picture of a henry vacuum cleaner sucking up a line of powder

user15026

@pixel I always wanted one of those.

I would use a word like 'cute' just because of its design, but I can't get away from it being a plastic container for storing dust

user15026

2:50 PM

@pixel psh, it is totally cute.

It is totally a vacuum cleaner

...fml

I nearly submitted a CRM update with 'It is totally a vacuum cleaner' in place of 'kindest regards'

i'm back now

@AshleyNunn Buy for Yak

user15026

@pixel This too.

user15026

@GraceNote Hello to you too, GraceNote :P

36 minutes \o/

2:54 PM

@AshleyNunn Well, the subject of cute things was up, plus I got an offline message from a friend after I sent him an IM consisting only of a picture of the Yak, and he responded "I KNOW" "Seriously considering preordering just for the yak"

user15026

@GraceNote Smart friend. The yak is amazing

user15026

.....great, now I have the "Shut up woman get on my horse" song in my head, but replacing horse with yak. I hate my brain

@AshleyNunn at least it's not going along to the tune of call me, maybe?

user15026

@pixel Yeah, I can't even make that work.

It's a good job, it sounds like you just tried

user15026

2:56 PM

I think I am immune to that song.

user15026

@pixel nope, actually. There were just brain-crickets.

@AshleyNunn You now has answer.

user15026

@fbueckert Hurrah!

I wish I was immune to that song

user15026

@fbueckert "beautiful flipping the table"?

user15026

2:59 PM

I AM SO CURIOUS

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I know. I have no idea what item that is.

What about seriously rusty?

user15026

@fbueckert Me neither. I look forward to figuring it out :P

I love straight translations.

user15026

Same with "easy furoshiki" What does that mean? :P

user15026

@fbueckert They can be pretty awesome, especially for kairo-stuff

3:02 PM

@AshleyNunn I envision the Dad Kairo as a middle aged man, with that thick belt around his waist, and going bald. And raging out and flipping the table.

user15026

@fbueckert Yeah. Just being like ARGH FAMILY AUGH TABLE FLIIIIIP

@AshleyNunn They totally have a video game for that in Japan.

It's been the highlight of my entire arcade history.

user15026

@fbueckert That is amazing. I want to play that right now.

@AshleyNunn As far as I can tell, the whole point of the game is to see just how much destruction you can cause when you flip the table.

I think I managed to get a cup straight out a window, once. Too bad that didn't cause collateral damage.

user15026

@fbueckert This is a beautiful concept. Do you actually flip a physical table?

3:05 PM

@AshleyNunn jamaipanese.com/chabudai-gaeshi-japanese-arcade-game

user15026

@fbueckert O.O I NEED TO PLAY THIS RIGHT NOW

@fbueckert lol I can't believe that is actually real

I have yet to play any other arcade game that makes me giggle madly while playing.

The music that plays after you flip the table just adds to it.

forwarded the video from that link around the office

different parts of the office are going WTF

3:11 PM

@pixel I'd recommend not judging it until you play it. It's remarkably fun.

it's a game where you flip tables

sounds like fun

If I could, I'd import it. It's an absolutely fantastic icebreaker.

"Hey, I got a video game where you flip tables. Wanna try it out?"

user15026

@fbueckert It sounds like the most fun thing ever, ever.

user15026

@fbueckert I would be like OMG WHERE HAVE YOU AND THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE! ahem Yes please."

I would be a little less believing, thinking it was a cheap pick up line

but would definitely want to play something that involves flipping tables

3:16 PM

@pixel Pickup line notwithstanding, it'd be a great thing to throw into the middle of a conversation, after you hit it off with someone.

what, the table? or the question?

@pixel If you're throwing a table into the middle of a conversation, I think you have bigger problems to worry about.

I was just clarifying that you weren't the kind to randomly throw a table during a conversation

twelve minutes until normalisation initialises

user15026

@fbueckert Yeah, once I realized you weren't being like weird, but seriously had this thing, I would be like OMG YES

@pixel Man, you think people do the strangest things.

3:20 PM

@fbueckert some people do strange things

@pixel Actual table-flipping is not just strange. It's very violent, and doing it in the presence of others shows massive anger control issues.

@fbueckert I know this! A table flipping game is different though, video games aren't violent. Ever.

@fbueckert Alternatively, it can show off good arm strength

@GraceNote New Olympic sport! Table flipping!

Can we do gnome tossing instead of table flipping?

3:23 PM

@pixel Throw gnome ON table. Two sports in one!

@pixel Why settle for only one?

@fbueckert (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ *checks watch*

3

oooOOooo

Flip a table that has a gnome on it, sounds like it could be even more fun

@Koviko Why are you checking your watch? Are you going to go find one of these?

@fbueckert No, I just meant that's what the guy in the video did. lol

3:24 PM

He's checking his watch because its six minutes until normalisation begins to initialise

@Koviko Gotta admit, though, that would be an awesome stress reliever.

You'd have to replace the backstop, or whatever it is that prevents the table from actually smashing into the screen, every few months, though. I could imagine the table legs snapping from the strain and crashing straight into the screen.

I want to grab one of these games for the Arqade meetup. It'd be so expensive, though.

3:55 PM

Does anybody know what the scope of audio is

it seems to be full of audio troubleshooting/audio configuration/game audio/game music/random audio/stream audio/blah audio questions

Do you want more work or less work

@tiddy I'm not sure if that is aimed at me

@pixel It is

@tiddy Surely the amount of 'work' is irrelevant with the particular goal in mind?

@pixel Well it looks like audio has a global scope, covering all audio issues. Breaking all the questions down into a more organized structure via tagging will look better but introduce the categorical debates that frequent this site

4:03 PM

@tiddy but by not breaking it down we fall victims of being hypocrites when the aim is to correctly, sensibly and accurately tag every question on the site, ensure they're on topic and edit them for neutrality, spelling, grammar, etc

Well I wouldn't be a hypocrite, but I can see where others would have to deal with that

all I wanted to know is whether or not the scope of audio is "everything to do with sound" or if its a tag like gamename where we aim to categorise audio questions that do not relate to a specific game under audio, and audio questions relating to options within a game under gamename

like a fair few audio questions also have sound-system

What do you think would be more useful to users

@pixel I don't even think audio should exist. Use technical-issues if your sound is broken or something, or just tag with the game otherwise.

well if I am being a user, when I come on a site like this for a problem with audio within a game I'm going to search <game name> audio problems

@StrixVaria interesting

4:06 PM

The question itself will still probably say audio or sound or some other keyword that will be searchable even if it's not a tag.

Lets hope so

@StrixVaria what would you say regarding headset sound-system

@pixel Also no reason to exist.

and yes, most of the titles if not all are easily identifiable as audio issues

@StrixVaria some of the questions under those tags only have that tag, would you suggest delete the question or create an audio-hardware for the specific instances where one of them is a useful question?

Q: Should I use a headset or a desktop mic for PC gaming?

My old gaming headset has broken and I need a new solution for various multiplayer PC games that have voice chat. I would prefer to use my Sennheiser HD555 headphones for sound (way better quality than any gaming headset), so I was thinking about getting some sort of usb desktop microphone instea...

Recommendation, close/delete.

4:09 PM

if you close it, it still needs a tag

Not if you delete it.

The ones with audio/headset are troublesome.

I'm not sure how I would want to tag those.

4

Q: What are the considerations for gaming speakers/headphones?

What features would distinguish a gaming audio system from the regular one? I would assume that direction from where the sound is coming is extremely important, would having 7 channels ( as opposed to 2 ) be beneficial in that aspect ?

audio-hardware works

Q: Razer Megalodon problems

I just bought the Razer Megalodons and I've run in to a problem. I cannot transmit while playing audio. I also keep getting "USB bandwidth exceeded" errors. I'm using a 850W power supply and I used to be able to transmit and receive audio simultaneously in the past using a USB headset. I'm using...

and personally I think "Should I use a headset or a desktop mic for PC gaming?" can be reworded into a good enough question

@StrixVaria the razer question I would say audio-hardware technical-issues

I'm not opposed to an audio hardware tag I guess.

It's certainly better than the current state of things.

4:11 PM

its more specific and easier to scope

You should probably make a meta to get some other opinions.

yes, I should

Maybe someone else has a good idea and just isn't in chat.

Not sure I have an idea better than audio-hardware unless we decide to straight up go with a general peripherals.

I don't think that would be too egregious, myself, and it encompasses a lot of things that are borderline burninate/synonym/etc.

Also good morning, all

A: Who is the guy in the opening movie of Dead Island?

its easy to say it's a random guy but the point is. they do this to show the character's BUT. why do you wake up on the same bed that some random guy passed out on? this is why it makes you wonder who it is.

@GraceNote Can you make this a comment?

@GnomeSlice That's not an answer.

@fbueckert Right, which is why it should be made into a comment on the question.

@GnomeSlice Oh, derp. Missed a word. Misunderstood entirely. Derp.

4:52 PM

@fbueckert Which word did you miss? It doesn't make sense with any one of those words taken out.

@GnomeSlice This

I guess 'can you make a comment'.

I thought you were asking @GraceNote to comment on the answer.

Gotcha.

Also: One week until Legends of Pegasus comes out! Woot!

4:55 PM

Hm

Hi @GraceNote!

Hi OrigamiRobot

How are things?

Thinking about whether to convert a non-answer to a comment or just to outright delete it

@GraceNote Deleting things is a lot of fun.

5:00 PM

@GraceNote I think it should be made into a comment, give him some slack. Besides, it's not any different from other comments.

Giving him slack implies that I'm imposing some sort of punishment to begin with

Comment conversion isn't a punishment; it's helping a new user with something he can't do himself.

Grace's punishments would involve more missiles.

@GraceNote That's not what I meant.

I meant he's a new user, just outright deleting his stuff when it doesn't break any rules (as a comment) might turn him away.

But he didn't post a comment.

Not everything that could be a comment is something that should be converted to a comment

Conversion is in place to retain that which is valuable to the question, not just any run-of-the-mill commentary. We even delete "Thanks" when it shows up as an answer, even though gratitude is pretty present in terms of comment variety.

5:07 PM

Weeew! New record on GIRP!

@GraceNote He doesn't have enough rep to post a comment.

@GnomeSlice So that means we should convert anything he posts that's not an answer as a comment?

@GnomeSlice And there's a reason we have a reputation requirement on comments to begin with. This user has more content than your average issue, but that isn't enough for me to convert it.

@GraceNote I agree, but I still think that he mentioned enough 'points' to generate some thought in terms of the question. He specifically mentions that the player wakes up on the same bed as the character in the intro, and that is some interesting information.

The content of the post is "It could be a random person" (not helpful), "This is part of something to show the characters" (already established by the question asker), "Why do you wake up next to a random passenger?" (tangential question), "Makes you wonder who it is" (well, the question is being asked)

5:10 PM

Well, alright, whatever you think is best.

@fbueckert Oh hey! I may be able to afford it then!

None of this spoke to me as "I should preserve this". That's why I hesitated.

@Fluttershy Good! I need someone to play it with! Nothing like two new users muddling their way through a game trying to kill each other.

@fbueckert We'll see... I dunno if I'll be able to afford it yet or not. >_>

my head just exploded trying to read gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/65234/…

5:13 PM

@Halfwarr Edit approved!

@fbueckert lol thanks

@Fluttershy I hope you can; otherwise I'm stuck playing against the computer.

@GraceNote Do you like the new Cho'Gath skin?

@OrigamiRobot You might want to start off with "Do you have Cho'Gath?", because since the answer to that is "No", the answer to your inquiry is obvious and your initial inquisition has ceased to become worthful to you.

@OrigamiRobot Well done. Nice edit.

5:17 PM

Fix'd

@fbueckert You were the one who gifted me Recettear, right?

@GnomeSlice Uh. Pretty sure, yeah.

@fbueckert Well, I'm finally getting around to playing it, hah.

@GnomeSlice It's got some good humor in it. Let me know what you think.

@OrigamiRobot I haven't seen it in action

I didn't realize it was anime. Have to see how that works out.

I really hope I don't have to play as the dumb one on the right.

@GnomeSlice Great game.

I'm not a fan of anime in general, so we'll see.

I spent more money on give away game than I did for myself. ><

@fbueckert What is wrong with you.

You're supposed to be selfish on the internet.

Recettear that is a great game

@GnomeSlice You haven't seen my game collection. :P

5:24 PM

wish the dungeon part was more required

Also, there's nothing that explains what the controls are other than the game setup utility.

I never really did just bought and resold things at much higher price

@GnomeSlice You're lucky you got that. I had to figure it out myself.

@fbueckert ...Yours doesn't have the utility?

@GnomeSlice Not when I first got it; they were two separate programs.

5:26 PM

@fbueckert They still are, when I run it in Steam it asks me if I want to run run the game or the setup utility.

@GnomeSlice It wasn't integrated in Steam when it was first released. :P

Ah, makes sense.

So what, am I like one of the shop owners in a typical JRPG game?

That's an... interesting idea.

@GnomeSlice Yes.

Although, I had previous experience playing japanese shmups and whatnot, so I was used to the whole z, x, c, shtick.

@GnomeSlice Yup. It's a reverse RPG!

@fbueckert ...Not sure how it's a 'reverse rpg'.

@GnomeSlice Most often, you're the one offloading your junk to the store. This one, you're offloading your junk to the hero.

Is there a hero?

@GnomeSlice Several

That's funny.

You hire them later to escort you through dungeons to grab loot.

Heh.

5:30 PM

Also, you should now understand, "Capitalism, ho!"

@fbueckert Understand?

@GnomeSlice It's been a meme for quite some time, now.

Now you know where it came from, and what the reference is.

Haven't heard of it. I'll take your word for it, lol.

And don't link it, because I'm not going to look at it.

@GnomeSlice Okie dokie, then.

But it came from this game? Huh, that's pretty funny, I guess.

Is it a really popular game?

5:34 PM

@GnomeSlice It's sort of an indie cult hit.

Carpe Fulgur just localized it, and hit it on so many levels that everyone loved it.

@fbueckert It's been here for a while, hasn't it?

Also, what do you mean 'hit it'.

@GnomeSlice Over a year now, aye

@GnomeSlice The humor of the game; it's never meant to be serious, and by localizing it and taking some liberties with the script, they kept the humor intact. And spawned a meme in the process.

@GraceNote At least two, I'd say; I was playing this in Japan, and that was two years ago.

@fbueckert Localization is only over a year old

@GraceNote ...Pretty sure it's two.

goes to check

September 10th, 2010

Speaking of great Indie games, you guys should all check out Out There Somewhere.

@GraceNote Ok. Close to two. One month out.

Steam sucks.

@fbueckert In this scenario, "Close to two" remains the opposite of the statement "At least two" ♪

I want to check the setup thing again to see what the gamepad controls are, but I have to close and reopen Steam now or it just hangs on the 'preparing to launch game' thing.

5:40 PM

@GraceNote Alright. You win. This time.

And now Steam won't even open.
