Maid Café (メイド喫茶)

I'm interesting in the trends of some of these. How big a part of the total number of questions were identification-request questions over time? — Madara Uchiha ♦ 7 hours ago

@MadaraUchiha What exactly do you mean by that ^^ ?

Madara Uchiha

@JNat How does the growth of identification-request questions compare to the general growth of the site?

JNat

Oh, I see

I'll try to add some more data until the end of the week

Toshinou Kyouko

I might add some graphs in a seperate question

cuz graphs r pretty

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko answer?

Toshinou Kyouko

2:06 PM

@JNat that's what I meant :P

JNat

I thought so :P

Toshinou Kyouko

I'll just post some graphs in a random meta question

from '12

Q: Fairy Tail: What does Horologium says every time?

I mean the "He/She says" part in Japanese. I tried to use translators but the results wasn't even similar :-(

fairy-tail

Matt

We should do something for graduation. Not necessarily a competition, but like a community thing where people can do something in celebration, and show everyone else

Kinda like the 'big reveal' post from the gift exchange, but with stuff celebrating the graduation instead

Toshinou Kyouko

throw our hats in the air

accept our degrees

oh

Matt

@ton.yeung Yeah, that could work ^_^

@ToshinouKyouko lol

Frosteeze

2:46 PM

omg you ppl will start playing ffxiv?

:P

Matt

@Frosteeze I only found out we did 3 minutes ago

Frosteeze

but i'd be open for that

Matt

Is it on Steam?

Frosteeze

@Matt come to gilgamesh

yes it is

Matt

@Frosteeze Shiggy, I'll see if I can DL sometime

@Frosteeze I will ask more about what this is once I get the game

Toshinou Kyouko

2:48 PM

that's not much of a celebration for all the users

something in-site would be better imo

Matt

And yeah, we need more celebrations

Frosteeze

@ton.yeung np, @ʞɹɐzǝɹ has life stuff too I think

#celebrate

Taisho

@Frosteeze Looks like there is no such command.

Matt

@Taisho Well, that needs fixing for graduation

Frosteeze

no-celebrations-allowed by order of @Taisho

Matt

2:49 PM

@ton.yeung Elections? Is that for pro-tem mods?

Unihedron

@Matt pre-grad mod election

Matt

@Unihedron Ah cool. I might do, maybe. See how I feel at the time

I think my name would like nice with a ♦ after it

I would transcend Matt and become a Matterator ♦

Alagaros

can you even elect yourself if you have less then 1k rep?

Toshinou Kyouko

3:02 PM

I dunno if I will run for election or not

My anime activity has declined

Unihedron

anime.stackexchange.com/election

^ bookmark that page and check back from time to time

Alagaros

Thx @Unihedron :)

Matt

@Alagaros This might help too meta.stackexchange.com/questions/135360/… . It seems there are certain rep and badge requirements, although these differ between sites

Alagaros

3:18 PM

@Matt ah I see, looks like I need to make some meta posts soon ;p

Matt

@Alagaros Same, haha

Toshinou Kyouko

now it looks like there's an election

Matt

@ToshinouKyouko It's all about preparation

Q: What is the stance of Evangelion creators (Including but not limited to Hideaki Anno) on the "Death of Author" concept, regarding the series?

The Evangelion franchise is full of unkonwns, most were never explained or have any "word of god" statement. Some examples: What Gendo whispered to Ritsuko after: "I truly... (muted)" to prompt her to answer: "Liar!" . What is real the motivation for Asuka to tell Shinji "気持ち悪い" at th...

@Eric go run for election

Eric

When was this announced? ._.

Cuz as Unihedron pointed out, the elections page is still empty. lol

Also @Frosteeze another Loot Crate video :P

Frosteeze

oh god

lol

Yuuki

@Sakamoto I do believe Anno said something that amounts to "I really don't give a s---, fanwank something".

nhahtdh

@Sakamoto This question is rather abstract

Hakase

@Matt that would be a collaborative manga

Yuuki

3:50 PM

Augh, I forgot I'm hosting Movie Night next weekend!

And I can't do this weekend because I have an assignment to finish.

Yeah, next Friday night sounds good.

7/31.

nhahtdh

@Quill I did, and I also read the manga

Hakase

4:23 PM

boom I'm back bebe

nhahtdh

Anyone got a copy of 5 centimeters per second?

Yuuki

@nhahtdh Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe?

Wait, it's been licensed in the US, right?

nhahtdh

Does your copy (the book) has a review at the end?

@Yuuki Yeah, according to Wikipedia

Yuuki

4:38 PM

@nhahtdh In that case, I don't have a copy.

nhahtdh

@Yuuki Not asking you to share or anything. I have a copy myself in local language

Taisho

Yuuki

Also, I don't have a copy of the book.

nhahtdh

I think this can be closed as being a Japanese language question: anime.stackexchange.com/questions/23469/…

Alagaros

Yup

Hakase

4:58 PM

when presented a textbox for typing in the translation of a phrase I instantly realised it's not very fun to do word learning on a phone

Sore ga Seiyuu - Today's guest is Tamura Yukari

Hakase

so far duolingo looks a lot better than memrise

memrise is basically an online database of user-generated walruses

Matt

Duolingo's useful, but I thought it was more simple stuff

like apple

Hakase

yea I'm not finding any difficult words yet

so far I see a lot of overly generalized translations expected from the users

almost every time I have to correct myself and replace more specific words with more general, or else I'm at risk of failing the task

there are discussions for every task which contain exactly my opinion on how proper it is to do that, as well as righteous users defending the importance of "general purpose" translations

"He's going to listen to this music"

how often do people even say "this music"

I got questions and they are very obvious

Madara Uchiha

@MadaraUchiha Cumulative id-requests over time: data.stackexchange.com/anime/query/261651/… / id-requests in each 2-week period: data.stackexchange.com/anime/query/261652/… (Summary: the identification requests are, indeed, taking over. Since this is from SEDE, it excludes deleted posts, but the fraction of deleted id-reqs vs. non-id-reqs is even worse - 400/1103 deleted Qs are id-req.) — senshin ♦ 37 mins ago

That is terrifying

Hakase

5:31 PM

so in 4 years the site will only have id requests?

Matt

@Hakase Yeah, it's generally just 'He's going to listen to music'

Hakase

nah I'm out of this app stuff

legend has it, russian government is gonna try to block youtube on 27th

let's see how it pans out

Alagaros

@Hakase Its just a stupid move.

Hakase

5:47 PM

I'm in it for the popcorn

Alagaros

Lol it will just be a week till they find out what proxies are

nhahtdh

How do they plan to ban YouTube?

DNS poisoning?

IP blocking?

Hakase

idk but they did successfully block github for a few days before

Alagaros

Probably IP blocking, since otherwise people can just switch over to google's dns servers

nhahtdh

Hakase

5:57 PM

I could dig up how they blocked github the last time but it's not that fun

instead I'm gonna set up some tea and cookies and watch something

Toshinou Kyouko

@Matt the whole soundtrack

it's probably ip blocking

pirate bay and some other sites are blocked over here

@Unihedron i found u on codewars~~

Unihedron

@ToshinouKyouko :o

i followed you back :P

Toshinou Kyouko

Matt

@ToshinouKyouko I've said it before and I'll say it again - collectively, the best OP's and ED's of any series

nhahtdh

6:15 PM

Bikini Warrior turns out to be mostly a comedy show

Toshinou Kyouko

oh

Frosteeze

@Matt my siruki rabu

JNat

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ added some info on the deleted ones

But only regarding the deleted ones that were a user's first post

Not total id-reqs

Matt

I know, I got it :L

The first 2 were the best imo though

Alagaros

Overlord is getting better and better ^^.

nhahtdh

@Alagaros You might like Maou no Hajimekata. Note that it's borderline hentai, but it's great with villain protag

Overlord takes too long with all the introduction and stuffs

Alagaros

@nhahtdh Will definitely give it a try, thanks :)

Q: movie about a baby that drinks blood

I saw this movie about 5 years ago on either HBO or Showtime, I believe it is American made. A woman is pregnant and her and her husband get in a car accident, husband dies, wife lives, but is told child is dead and will be stillborn. Child is delivered, is alive, but only wants blood to drink....

Q: Is a (British) wedding cake just a tiered fruit cake

I'm trying to find a good recipe for a wedding cake. I'm going to keep it fairly simple, one or two tiers, plain icing with some small decorations. Many recipes seem to be variations on classic fruit cake or Christmas cake. Is that the case? Am I safe scaling up a recipe like Delia's Christmas ...

If you don't like any, you'd have to pay more This is exactly what you should say. Now, prior to creating the logos, you should have a design briefing meeting with the client, so that the client can give you some direction and you're not just striking out blindly with your three designs. ...

my current work is giving me 3 weeks of working from home, let's see how well I can handle that

until the 11th of august when we get an office :p

Alagaros

7:40 PM

I like to be able to pick the hours I work myself, however working at home does prevent me from going outside :(

Hakase

I'm looking to change jobs and ideally not the classic 9-5 style

Alagaros

@Hakase What kind of work do you do?

Hakase

at the end of august I will officially have one full year of track record and… it doesn't really matter

@Alagaros I'm a load tester at an outsourcing company that mainly offers load testing and a bit of functional

it's not a field of work I was looking for in the first place, but it's work and I almost got through a year of it without trouble

now I'm thinking of a better way to earn money

Alagaros

@Hakase Sounds cool!

Hakase

it's really not cool at all

it's mostly the stuff I already know how to do, but it's routine and boring, without any possibility of career growth

kinda of a dead end job

Q: How can large open source projects be monetized?

Many open source projects I see involve having dedicated servers, as well as the expensive infrastructure that powers it. How are these projects monetized to cover the costs introduced during development and deployment?

monetization

not beating around the bush eh

Toshinou Kyouko

an operating system

Frosteeze

@Hakase looks like a watered down version of SE Law

Unihedron

@Hakase I stole a question from the proposed questions when it was back in proposal

Hakase

I guessed so, most highly voted Qs in young sites come from those

I'm innocent!

the fake internet police will arrive at your IP address shortly

JNat

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ added info on how many earned the informed badge. We don't keep records of whether or not the user has accessed /help. And the informative badge only gets awarded to those who read everything in /tour, so the numbers may not mean much

But at least you have those

Hakase

@Frosteeze good thing our government can block IPs :p

Alagaros

7:50 PM

@Hakase I hope you find a job you like more soon :)

Hakase

@Alagaros first I need to find out a lot more about jobs in general

coz I don't know much about where to look

but thanks

JNat

@ToshinouKyouko When were you planning on posting these graphs you mentioned earlier?

Hakase

I thought a combined graph of overlaid percentages could look cool

JNat

@Hakase Can you do that with the data there? Or is that something the query would produce? (Note: I can run some queries, but I'm a relative n00b doing it)

@ton.yeung pretty fine!

@ton.yeung Of course :P

How's stuff on your side?

@ton.yeung the red tape?

Never mind, I googled it

I was not familiarised with that expression

@Tosh what sorta graphs do you wanna make?

also-also how's your anime stats thing going?

oh yeah

i will make those graphs now
