Q: Why Are The Falling Buildings Still There?

imallettThe movie Patema Inverted is wonderfully complex. If you haven't seen the movie, you should go watch it first. Seriously. This is why prettymuch everything needs to be in spoiler tags. In the movie, it is revealed that: However:

 
12:25 AM
Are they really doing a hat for using the gold tag badge dupe vote thing? That's pretty obnoxious.
 
@Amelia Mellie?
 
@Mysticial you here?
 
ya
 
can you test some hat stuff for me on SO? I just need you to enable hats and then dupehammer a question.
If I'm right you'll get an incredibly obnoxious hat.
 
okay...
 
12:30 AM
@HamtaroWarrior while we're at it can you guys also make Spice & Wolf S3?
 
I need to find something worth duping. Not easy given the filters I have enabled.
Oh wait...
Review queue. ahaha
 
if odinson is for dupehapper, I really doubt I have a shot at it
 
@Frosteeze Sorry, we are too busy making Clannad After the After Story!
 
impossibru
 
and if I can't get that hat, I might as well give up already since most SO users can
 
12:32 AM
@HamtaroWarrior is that' the sequel to Clannad where Ushio becomes a magical girl and fight crimes?
 
Let's see what happens:

Q: Do I have to initialize simple class member variables?

FrankQuick beginner's question: Do I have to initialize simple class member variables, or are they guaranteed to get assigned their default values in any case? Example: class Foo { int i; // is i==0 or do I need the following line for that? Foo() : i(0) {} }; Thanks!

 
@Frosteeze Yeah, they are fighting evil guys. They are helped by the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
 
I don't have any hats.
I thought they always had some freebies.
IIRC, I spent 1.5k on the one I'm on right now.
@Taisho what
 
12:38 AM
@Mysticial did you enable hats before you close voted?
 
yes
 
okay then I guess it's just slow
you should definitely get at least 1 from that
 
Looking at that flag, I'm damn glad the SE mods don't have mod access in the Lounge.
 
that wasn't flagged by mods
mod flags are binding immediately. It was flagged by regular users.
 
I know, but I'm tempted to believe that at least 1 of the 400+ mods would validate that just because of the word "shit".
 
12:40 AM
you just got 2 hats, exactly as I expected.
 
I just got 2 hats?
Where?
 
SO
 
Oh.
Now I see them.
 
And yes, odinson is super-obnoxious
 
It's a secret hat.
 
12:42 AM
yeah, it's for using dupehammer
you're the second person I know with it
 
I guess I'll just wear it.
Given that I have no time to put into hats this year.
That might be the only non-trivial one I get.
 
@Mysticial fwiw the flag was invalidated, probably by a mod.
 
Boo hats :P
 
How do you know specifically that it's dupe hammer and not something like "final close vote"?
You have a lot of data points already?
 
plenty of final close votes to check against
 
12:46 AM
Gnight
 
we have id reqs on the that need are good fodder :p
 
What the hell are those hats guys?
@ToshinouKyouko Gnight :)
 
@ToshinouKyouko night
@LoganM Obviously, the solution is to get us to come up with 200 hypothetical Death Note questions and have you answer all of them.
 
Nah I can answer 200 already existing LQ ID requests
 
This room is now christen as the (accursed) hat strategery hq for this site!
 
12:49 AM
I think I'm already giving up on hats this year.
getting a gold tag badge is too obnoxious for one hat
 
yo, good evening guyz :P
 
evening
 
hmm this is true, they should've introduce new gold badges imo
 
publicist might be the easiest gold badge to pull off if we play our cards right
 
1:03 AM
The closest I am to a new gold badge is another Steward badge. I'm 600+ close vote reviews.
I had a 91 vote answer get deleted on SO. And the next highest thing I have is 86.
But year, I've basically exhausted my passive gold badge options.
Unless someone reddits one of my sub-100 answers.
 
badges on meta count too no?
 
no idea
 
might be doable for some badges like the editing one
 
Yay, winterbash!
 
1:23 AM
Boo hats!
 
HATS!!!
#hats
 
Burn the hats.
 
!!hats
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ gold badges aren't hard. Gold tag badges are very hard.
 
@LoganM ah yeah those are very obnoxious
 
1:25 AM
yeah and you can't get one of the secret hats without one this year
might as well give up now and save whatever time I would have spent
 
sadly 1000 is a bit unreasonable on smaller communities
imo
 
1000 is more reasonable than 200
we barely have any tags which even have 200 questions to answer
I could do it on Math SE, but answering that many calculus or linear algebra questions in a couple weeks would be horrible
 
1:40 AM
hats are no fun this year D:

Q: How and how much do the dolls know about the other dolls?

JanPreface: This is coming entirly from the anime’s perspective and yet without the 2013 one which I only started watching. We are introduced to Shinku, Hina-Ichigo, Suigintou, Suiseiseki and Souseiseki in the first season in order of appearance. Bara-Suishou and Kanaria are introduced in the first...

 
2:20 AM
So I had a krazy idea for a secret hat:
There should be a secret that that's contagious hat that spread to other users, by way of replies in chat, comments, answers, and or answers. The hat would be be incubated to a couple of ppl upon login, and only show up after a few days. Anyone that came into contact with these users will be infected and incubate the hat virus. Each community would have a community specific hat. First person to guess the patient zero was for the hat of a particular community get a another secret hat...

Q: Can't remember the name of this anime!

Megan Salloumall i can remember is that somewhere in the middle of the show they mc guy wakes up from a coma and the situation around him had changed drastically. I realize this isn't much to go on but i would really appricate the help

 
2:47 AM
We should change the Community bot's hat
any suggestions?
 
We can choose any hat or from the hat list?
 
@ton.yeung I'm visiting you guys, remember?
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ That sounds great
 
@ton.yeung hmm haven't put much thought into that

Q: Why did Funami Yui accused Toshinou Kyouko of playing dirty?

Ayase EriIn episode 4 minute 1:35 to 1:45 of the second season of Yuru Yuri, Yui accused Tomato of playing dirty after she won against the Lamb (Ayano). From what I understand, they are playing bomberman-like game. What is dirty from Tomato blowing the Lamb?

 
angle beats lmao
so... hats have startee?
oh i've already earned a hat
:000
 
4:21 AM
okay, the odinson hat isn't as bad as I thought. I have to dupe vote something which eventually gets dupehammered, but I don't have to have the gold badge myself
still obnoxious but possible
I assume Archimedes is the same as Eureka. If that's true I'm a bit surprised I didn't already get it, but I didn't get the hat exactly right before. I'll probably get it for some other secret hat.
I won't be starting to collect hats in earnest until Tuesday at the earliest, so I might be way behind on the easy hats early, but it shouldn't be too hard to catch up.
Hat Trick looks to be the hardest non-secret hat. I should be able to get it though.
 
4:40 AM
boobies
 
4:58 AM
where
 
5:18 AM
I guess this one is for getting an answer accepted at 7 upvotes, or something similar.
This one is a bit harder to test
It might not require the answer to be accepted at 7, but just accepted answer + 7 upvotes. I doubt it's just 7 upvotes though, since there'd be a lot more by now.
Sadly it's going to be rather difficult to confirm anything until I get one myself, since it's a rather rare occurrence which is hard to check after-the-fact.
(of course, standard caveats apply, namely that the answer should be created after WB started)
I wonder if self-accepts work. That would make it easier. No way to test for now though
btw @JNat are you able to give out archimedes, or should I ping another CM, or can you not tell me? I'd rather not announce to everyone in TL or meta how to get a secret hat, but if that's required I'll do it.
 
5:37 AM
We're at 38 hats in total
wheeee
 
I hate manually-awarded secret hats.
 
What's the point of manually awrded hats?
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ yeah they're a pain
 
whats a manually awarded hat
 
a hat that is awarded manually
 
5:39 AM
rolls on krazer
~_~ thanks.
 
@Logan by a CM?
 
@Tyhja u missed a movie session
 
presumably, but not necessarily
but in all likelihood Archimedes is awarded by CMs
either that or they've automated the process they used previously
(which would be rather difficult)
 
I'm sure JNat is generous :3
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Q_Q nuuuu
 
5:41 AM
Praise the great @JNat -sama
 
I've only seen 3 secret hats so far, and I'm pretty sure I know all of them
 
We get hats for praising CMs?
 
in previous years that easily would have qualified, but they could have changed the rules up this year with the hat name change
 
I want the Batman maskey-hat
 
I don't really want any of them individually, I just want all of them for the sake of having all of them
 
5:45 AM
~_~
 
none of them look very good. The lack of pirate hat this year means there's basically nothing fashionable enough to be worth wearing.
 
This is my first and I have basically the same mentality. But come onnnn is BATMAN
 
the closest I see is wireless, mostly because it's the least obtrusive
 
:0 this my first too and imma lost @_@
i blame @ʞɹɐzǝɹ
 
Pops on December 14, 2015
Another calendar year is ending, which can mean only one thing. It's time once again for the event that brings joy to all (with a slight helping of dismay for our friends in the southern hemisphere1): Winter Bash!
 
5:51 AM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ what did yew watchers
 
@Tyhja HAL, Birdy OVAs, Wolf Children
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ i was there for the first 2 ~_~
 
Another person got it. I don't think it requires accepted answer, just 7 upvotes, possibly in a short timespan.
Anyway the 7 upvotes is crucial. Can't say what else is required yet. Probably that the question is new too and you have the only answer or something similar. In any event the 7 is crucial.
 
7 upvotes in 7 minutes?
 
no, not 7 minutes. Maybe 7 hours
 
5:56 AM
pretty ok 7 hrs seem long
 
let's test it in meta
 
meta won't give hats unless they're meta-specific
 
in any event it's definitely not just 7 upvotes
maybe you need to answer within 7 minutes
 
How about we do a test on topic question on main that will enable most of our users to get hats?
 
5:58 AM
that's what i was thinking :0
i mean thinking about 007
 
Well there might be more requirements
 
pokes the sennin in the eye to edge past him
~~~/o/
 
:$
Arrgh I'm a pirate noww
 
Okay it's definitely not 7 minutes to answer, but it probably is a short time-frame
one case was 28 minutes, the other was 3 minutes
maybe <30
 
@EroSɘnnin which one is the pirate one
 
6:01 AM
<30 and 7 upvotes alone isn't sufficient though, because a lot of people don't have it yet
 
The two I have found who have it both had the only answer
that's probably a good thing to try
 
would be nice if we had actual questions
 
we can test with other people's questions on other sites
(if we're careful about it)
 
@Tyhja no one knows we exist D:
 
6:04 AM
this one is hard though because it would basically amount to vote manipulation, which isn't kosher

#wallpaper time
 
@EroSɘnnin that's not kosher either
 
hmmm
 
6:09 AM
If we go by the name literally, it could be posting an answer that gets to +7, with no other answers and no comments
both of the cases I've found did that
 
And did they edit the answers?
 
nope, no edits
 
+7, no comments, no other answers, no edits
All under 7 hours/mins
 
could be some combination of those
sadly I don't have many counterexamples to choose from so far
 
Yeah
 
6:12 AM
didn't someone have a script that went through the WB pages and found all instances of a given hat?
might have been @hwlau. I haven't seen him here in a while though.
 
Speaking of hats and missing people.. @iKlsR yo!
 
without that, and with only a couple examples and a couple counterexamples, I can definitely get the hat, but pinning down what exactly is/isn't required will be a pain
 
@EroSɘnnin waddup dawg
 
Ayye
Hat season up
 
meh
I haven't participated since '13
 
6:16 AM
he doesn't need a hat since he is one
 
I'm leaving for holiday soon
^ that
clean suede
with a feather on top
 
But why wouldn't a hat be interested in other hats?
 
hats can be loners too
 
You're no loner
 
I'm sitting in the dark thinking of project ideas
yes I am
I'm a 22 year old who lives alone, going on holiday to the country so I can be even more alone without internets
 
6:18 AM
living alone doesn't mean you're always a loner
Damn auto
 
for me, it is. I don't want any company
:)
 
oohkay then
 
I have my internet friends
 
So you're not a loner if you have friends
 
"friends" loose use of the term
meh :)
cheers o/
 
6:20 AM
lol
 
okay, unless self-answers don't count, all of the above aren't sufficient
found another guy who doesn't have the hat yet
 
When did he answer?
 
2 hours ago
self-answer
 
Ooh. Classy
 
6:25 AM
well I can't find any other examples for now and I've checked all the big sites other than SO (which isn't worth the effort since it's opt-in rather than opt-out)
 
Hang on. Out of the three answers you mentioned, any accepted?
 
of the two that got that the hat, one was accepted, the other wasn't.
my original thought was that you got it for getting an answer accepted at +7, but that isn't right since one of them wasn't accepted.
 
Hmm. Tricky
 
I'm confident it's just get an answer to +7 and do some other easy bonus stuff, but I can't say what exactly the bonus stuff is for now.
 
Hmm. I'm gonna go check out meta posts on last year's secret hats. Hopefully, there could be some pattern
 
6:30 AM
Not anything that applies here
at least that I can think of
okay, I think I figured it out.
or at least I have a really good guess now
You should get a +7 answer on a new user's first question. I doubt there's much more than that required, but that's my best guess now.
I'll test this once an opportunity arises
I don't quite get the connection to the movies, but w/e
 
oui
in the meantime, I'm gonna try get some basic hats
 
7:05 AM
well work as sunk to new low point. now any website i have visited in the passed week which is not directly related to PHP Website Development is blocked
no now i have effectively nothing to do during any break. i can't learn anything other than PHP, i'm not allowed to do any other programming besides PHP Web Development, not even sure why i have a break anymore
 
7:27 AM
chat profile avatar on the right not implementing hat?
 
@SeptianPrimadewa have you refreshed the page?
 
@Memor-X nothing changed, your avatar falling without hat
That ava icon above starred message
 
@ToshinouKyouko SweetsParade on twitter, she's a friend of mine
 
@Memor-X i see your hat
but not on the right
 
7:43 AM
@Tyhja i thought that was normal

Q: When will the season 2 of gangsta be released/announced?

abhishah901The first season of gangsta ended on a major cliffhanger and I searched but couldn't find any announcements or release dates for gangsta season 2. So I wanted to know if there is going to be a second season or no. If no, then why? And if yes, then when?
