Q: Why did Darkness pick the name darkness?

user1821961We understand she's embarrassed about her real name Lalatina and noble status. But was it ever explained how/why she specifically came to choose to go by Darkness of all possible names?

 
12:48 AM
It's almost a crime, you know. Pizza hut shows up in all sorts of anime, starting with Code Geass and Domino's president is a Miku fanboy, but Round Table Pizza? Why can't they see the value in a Fate/Stay license? Is it because it'd actually make sense? v_v

Wow both of my questionnaire suggestion made it
With just 1 vote, maybe because there was not many
This year I am not sure who to vote so questionnaire and meta profile will be a good way to dig

Q: 2016 Moderator Election Q&A - Questionnaire

Grace NoteIn connection with the moderator elections, we are holding a Q&A thread for the candidates. Questions collected from an earlier thread have been compiled into this one, which shall now serve as the space for the candidates to provide their answers. Not every question was compiled - as noted, we o...

 
oh i found it
oh thanks anyway xD
 
No answer yet, will surely take time
 
@AnkitSharma you said both your suggestions made it... was there a suggestions phase?

Q: 2016 Moderator Election Q&A - Question Collection

Grace NoteAs an opportunity for members of the community to pose questions to the candidates on the topic of moderation, we will once again be holding a Q&A with the candidates in connection with the moderator elections. Participation is completely voluntary. The purpose of this thread was to collect ...

 
ah i see, as far as i can see there wasn't a deadline for submission?
 
There was deadline for submission and it's over now
> During the nomination phase, (so, until Monday, August 29th at 20:00:00Z UTC, or 4:00 pm EDT on the same day, give or take time to arrive for closure), this question will be open to collect potential questions from the users of the site.
 
i see. i was away for a week and a lot of stuff happened
 
> At the end of the phase, the Community Team will select up to 8 of the top voted questions submitted by the community provided in this thread, to use in addition to the aforementioned 2 guaranteed questions.
 
i somehow missed the first quote
//facepalm
 
6:17 AM
It can happen with anyone
 
To me Questionnaire is very good way to sneak into the intentions of candidates
 
@Taisho i'm sorry taisho
psst tasiho is sentient
@AnkitSharma peek?
 
hmmm

Q: Was Archer a sword user first or was he an archer first

DragonThe Archer from the FSN series is both a great archer and a great sword/knife user. Since he's Archer, you would think that he was an archer first. however, i have been told that apparently, Archer is the future Shiro. if this is true, since Shiro started to use swords first why was he the Archer...

 
6:22 AM
I do think SE need to make this questionnaire compulsory and give a different window (few days) to answer it and eliminate candidate who failed to answer it in given time
 
@AnkitSharma +1
 
@AnkitSharma well, it is most likely that a savvy electorate will leave out a candidate that fails to answer appropriately
 
@Tyhja Not all voters are that serious
 
@AnkitSharma i'm not disagreeing, that's why i said a savvy electorate
 
6:33 AM
We can tell from id-reqs that ideals are not applicable in a real world ssetting
ideally we can have well described id-requests which we answer with appropriate responses
:)
 
@Tyhja Yeah that's why I shifted my full support of ID to complete ridicule of them. I am quite happy that anime achieved to make them off topic.
 
@Tyhja Before ban, they had rather strict rules
 
and likewise, a lot of the way SE operates, assumes the best in people
 
@Tyhja we are still working with strict rule but they don't help that much.
 
@arda yes i know i was around then
 
6:38 AM
The ID Reqs were not not answerable, however they used to fill our front/main/whatever page.
 
@AnkitSharma because it will continue to appear and everyone can keep arguing while they clog up the front page
 
@arda movies.se still suffering because of it.
 
I like the way it is right now more, because the allowed questions are the ones that might help more people.
@AnkitSharma also scifi afaik
 
@arda But there front page is way full with hypothetical question of harry potter that ID is not that much big of issue there. And tehre ID quality is always better then movies and anime SE
 
movies has 7/14 as id-reqs right now on the front page
 
6:42 AM
I like the way it is on Arqade, we basically require an image, sound or video and that eliminates most id-reqs :P We rarely get acceptable ones (88 open ones in a site that is 5 years old).
 
we tried that
doesn't work
 
@Tyhja yeah, ikno, still used to fill the site
 
@Tyhja Yeah they make good question get less attention they deserve
 
I think the final rules were "a) image/video b) if no image: place you saw that, art style, info on plot and estimated year"
 
@arda That vaguely defeats the purpose doesn't it? I mean in order to get something like that, you'd almost have to know what it is you're asking for already.
 
6:45 AM
@Tonepoet oh my, you figured out the plot already!
 
@Tyhja I think there should be a class action lawsuit against Arqade for their false advertising. Obviously we're seeking that all of the questions be reopened, with appropriate rep. gains and interest. =P
 
@Tonepoet heh heh heh
 
7:31 AM
@ton.yeung just downloaded it. Hope it works, the online page uses so much ram + leaks memory :/
 
Morning people
 
@Dimitrimx morning
@arda perfect. Media buttons work too
 
@Tyhja :)
 
@ton.yeung That was pretty nice, I will be using that.

Q: Are Board of Education members immune to Death Feedback?

lentinantAs we know from anime (I'm not familiar neither with manga or novel), Board of Education is responsible for disposing ("expelling from school/academy") of problematic student, who may turn to Akkis or Karma Demons. They may use variety of methods to do so - Bakenezumi assassins, nekodamashi, pois...

8:36 AM
@Sakamoto for a second there I thought this was academia
 
@Hakase when will our beloved cat die?
 
that's an interesting "morning" :p
when all interested in its survival parties run out of internet
 
@Hakase I mean the google's hosting thingy
 
uhhh wut
ah that
supposedly on the 1st
 
oh crap
 
8:43 AM
but it's supposed to be by US time or something coz google is based there mostly
maybe
 
can you send me a whole list of links that aren't posted?
 
you don't wanna wait until we find out if it won't work?
 
what happen to google?
 
@Hakase I'd rather download them all in case if it doesn't
better safe than taisho-less
 
long story short: google decided to stop allowing images to be hotlinked like we do here in chat, so we won't be able to use it potentially
the links are supposed to stay available for direct download though
 
8:45 AM
D:
why
 
coz it costs them money lol
 
@Hakase What! Monsters!
 
and we're not paying
so unless we start paying there isn't an easy way to fix this problem
I proposed to just use imgur despite the compression and downsizing
Logan estimated about 5% of his images to go beyond imgur's limits
with where others get their images I suspect it's 0%
 
That doesn't sound to bad.
 
so we'll just start feeding him imgur links and that's the fix I guess
 
8:47 AM
@Hakase as I said, if you can give the links, I can download them and if stuff goes wrong, upload to imgur etc
 
but no more thumbnails/full, there will be just full images versions
 
but wasn't Logan says that imgur picture will be deleted after some time?
 
yea that's on an unregistered uploads
if you make an account (as easy as logging in with google or facebook) they should be saved indefinitely
@arda you want everything ever or just the unposted ones?
 
unposted
everything ever would be easy
 
You can also look into other services @Hakase.
Imgur ain't the only one out there. Some might be more fitted
 
8:49 AM
@Dimitrimx we did
 
we've already investigated it
 
hm/
 
no free services other than imgur work easily and as well. But well, we can pay around 10usd for azure storage every year and continue having full & thumbs etc
 
so everything should be fine if you have imgur account? so what's the problem then
 
8:51 AM
unposted til now
 
ha, I would almost say, feel free to use my server for it ;/
 
@Darjeeling downscale
 
aha, didn't know that
 
@Dimitrimx problem with people's servers is they're most definitely gonna be slower than google or amazon
 
8:52 AM
@Hakase google costs more than azure (by well, 0.001usd/gb/mo), checking aws
 
and then there's a question of reliability and availability in time worldwide
 
Most definitely. I can vouch for the reliability / availability / time world wide though.
 
also if you have a weak server it's gonna choke every time Taisho posts an image
you could try posting a bunch of images in a row with direct links to files on your server now and see how it performs
 
Used to host several websites on it, and game servers. It's been laying dormant for a while now
 
amazon costs $0.0300/gb/mo, which is 0.0035 higher than azure and 0.0034 higher than google
 
8:54 AM
I've been hosting shit on this desktop for a while before and let me tell ya it was not the smoothest experience for everyone involved >.>
 
luckily this is a dedicated server ;p

A: Are Board of Education members immune to Death Feedback?

HakaseSomehow they've figured out that using additional objects or creatures to carry out the actual killing is a workaround which doesn't trigger the death feedback reaction. I suspect it was made clear at the time the death feedback was invented and introduced to people. There had to be some way to k...

 
But I will give it a test run after work today. If it's up for the load, you are free to use it.
 
can somebody who remembers check out if I remember everything correctly?
maybe I missed something about that death feedback stuff
@Dimitrimx we possibly could, Logan might be interested in uploading his images somewhere in full size and with our thumb/full script support
 
@Hakase we might open folders and assign users and ftps credential to them (for trusted users ofc)
 
8:58 AM
for uploading hmm it could work
 
link would be like ip.goe.she.re/logan/someimage.png
 
or we could side-load images via mega or something
 
@Hakase possible
 
we still got 2-3 days of peace and calmness
 
I'll set the servers on fire

Q: Is any explanation offered for the anime’s ending?

@Tyhja last 2 days: nyanpasu, tutturu

Don't forget to answer the questionnaire, nominees!

you can put disposable objects into a using clause if you wish
I prefer those extra curly braces for clause visibility personally
some people say it's wrong or they don't like it
I'm self-taught also so it's what I do
looks fine to me btw
 
I AM HALF DEAF!
 
I could improve it a lot more if I wanted to, hence I said that tbh
in fact challenge accepted
 
oh and with new c# you can write strings like this $"something is {object.property}"
so the parameter indexes don't get confusing
I always hated that
glad they added it
 
@arda you can use a parser to cast json so no need to parse
well unless its all string
 
10:42 AM
user image
2
 
@Hakase I love doing that, but mono doesn't like it
 
you could make a quick string BetweenTheseTwoStrings(input, stringA, stringB)
who's mono
 
i dont know the performance if contains vs just using the json parser
 
@Hakase .net framework for linux
 
shouldn't it compile and behave just the same as visual studio?
@Tyhja string operations are always faster
 
10:43 AM
It does, but C# 6 support is not yet in stable builds afaik (at least in raspi)
 
but they're tedious to write
ah ok
 
also less robust
 
hey you can code stuff well
you could probably get a job sooner rather than later
I mean if you want
 
@Hakase I do actually. I'd freelance but paypal got banned from turkey and international money transfer fees are too high
 
definitely look into other methods of money transactions
perhaps go bitcoin
 
10:45 AM
@arda why did it get banned
 
I wonder what the exchange rates are
 
@Tyhja because people used it more than their own banks for overseas stuff so they lost money
i don't know really
 
@Memor-X not really
 
coinbase.com/charts looks stable-ish
 
@Tyhja apparently for it to be a bank inside turkey, they need to move all user data (inc. non-turkish peoples' data). They were told that they need to either do this or stop operating in Turkey, paypal chose the latter option (which is good for them).
 
10:48 AM
seems like a reasonable alternative
 
cashing out might be the biggest issue
 
I have no experience with bitcoins though
 
me neither
but we have a bitcoin se iirc
 
idk if you wanna cash out, or maybe only cash a small amount that you need and learn to live with the losses :p
 
haha I can do most my internet transactions using bitcoin actually
 
10:50 AM
I would definitely look at the top voted SE posts and investigate reddit also before going into that
oh great
 
I can order a bitcoin debit card from xapo too
 
oh wow
 
steam and humble bundle supports bıtcoin = I can do %99 of my online purchases with bitcoin
 
this is really looking good all of a sudden
 
@arda it's missing bacon
 
10:52 AM
you could probably ask around here, I'm sure some guys here must have had experience with bitcoins before
 
i remember we could buy unicoins with bacon one year
 
@Memor-X also Yuricoin
 
@Memor-X how were bacon transactions handled?
 
@arda no, Yuricoins should only be used to buy stuff for your girlfriend
 
@Memor-X nah, you didn't buy them, you simply bartered with jzy
 
10:54 AM
@Hakase don't know, kept getting an error when i wanted to buy them
stupid payment gateway
 
this id-request on arqade is about to become my highest rated answer lol
 
oh wow I didn't notice it was you
saw halo and closed the page
I'm not a console guy
 
@Hakase that's a windows store game
I hate consoles too
 
I don't hate em, I just don't have em :p
I had nothing but a CRT tv to plug em into and they don't support that
now I don't even have that tv anymore
 
11:00 AM
@Hakase well, I don't really hate them either, but their pricetag of the console and games is usually too high compared to PCs
 
yea
there were also other things but there's too many to list
 
@ton.yeung but does it have skulls?
@ton.yeung western or eastern?
that sounds weird
also chat is about to pass the 32m landmark: this message is 31999616
 
hmm
 
@ton.yeung nucs are pretty great
@Hakase I found a bitcoin freelance website, some stuff seems shady, but I might consider the less-shady ones
@ton.yeung ah, that.
@ton.yeung that's a huge nuc though
normal nucs are smaller
random image:
@ton.yeung raspi 3
@ton.yeung and much less powerful
 
@arda perhaps use a normal freelance site and discuss possibility of receiving payment in bitcoins
or just in usd and convert them yourself
 
11:11 AM
@ton.yeung no-ish
@Hakase I can't login nor make a paypal account?
 
isn't there something else?
 
I need to check what the sites support tbh
 
@ton.yeung drone as in quadcopter or drone as in un-maned aircraft which can kill people
 
@Memor-X drone to deliver your purchases made with yuricoin
 
11:20 AM
@Taisho what
 
oh, that was the title in the back
 
they are in folders to avoid dupe names
what the hell
no
my own website is giving http 451
 
@ton.yeung avoid?
 
11:29 AM
@arda link is down, sec
the files are huge, and the server didn't have enough storage, lol
 
but those are thumbs
oh right you must have changed them to full
 
friggin freelancers
they either ask for too much (implement a whole face detection algorithm in 10 days etc) or they give too low (200usd for a 2-3 day project)
@arda link back up
