and you can buy it here

$119 i would say is a good price for an adjustable bench for a laptop along with fans

JNat

@ton.yeung no, it was out of stock, and had to be postponed

will arrive on Tuesday

according to the tracking thingy

Frosteeze

@Memor-X Hmmm i wonder if you could use it as a fan for when you're sleeping

JNat

@ton.yeung I just preferred to have a physical copy

for no reason in particular

Memor-X

@Frosteeze i'd say you could considering the position the laptop can be when you use it laying down but it would depend how powerful of fans they are

JNat

@ton.yeung yeah, no problem

Frosteeze

12:11 AM

I'm judging. "I sentence you to have good taste in gaming." :P

Memor-X

@ton.yeung it says it can hold up to 60kg but i can't see how they would test a 60kg laptop on it for use when laying down as they have shown in the images

Logan M

@Hakase I did some experimentation with the thumbnail quality stuff. -quality 100 fixes all the issues I could find, at the cost of approximately doubling the average thumbnail size. -quality 90 fixed all the ones in my sample without really changing the sizes appreciably, but there are other images that it does worse than the adaptive quality default. Converting to png and then back to jpg works as well and seems to produce the smallest files, at the cost of requiring extra work.

So I guess the question is, is this a big enough issue to be worth doubling the average thumbnail file size. They're still not terribly large (most are around 100kB or smaller) but I don't know if that's acceptable to fix relatively rare issues.

Abyx

hm... Aldnoah Zero looks interesting

but ugh... it could be better

Frosteeze

12:28 AM

@Abyx How far are you into it?

Abyx

3rd series

Frosteeze

I take it you mean 3rd episode. It gets better, but 2nd cour just started so I can't really pass judgement on the series until that's finished

Q: Is Hidan Still Allive?

From what I recall Hidan head was buried deep inside a hole in the konoha forbidden jungle. Does it mean that Hidan is still alive after all this year. Is it possible for someone to rescue him and bring him back if he is still alive?

@Memor-X I always thought they need to at least know SO to get here

but these guy just ask some random video or picture

Frosteeze

@OshinoShinobu Eh anime SE sometimes show up on google searches when you're trying to find something anime related

Memor-X

@OshinoShinobu they don't have to know at least Stack Overflow to know of this place. it's just more likely than not. you have to remember that Stack Overflow is programming but not otakus are programmers. they could have came from

also, funny enough this image

we're ranked no. 4 for anime identification by google

Oshino Shinobu

@Memor-X oh wow we really shows up at google

Memor-X

@OshinoShinobu yeh, someones with obscure id requests with images you do a reverse image search you just get us again

and the fact we also edit id request titles for Search Engine Optimization

Oshino Shinobu

so basically we're the one who invite them here

Memor-X

@OshinoShinobu yep, as you can see in the image "Anime & Manga Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for anime and ... Need help identifying a manga/manwa (School, supernatural, fighting, aikido, ...)"

@Memor-X That text is, I believe, taken from one of the question titles. Generic question titles cause problems like that.

@Sakamoto This is Absolute Duo probably

Memor-X

@LoganM the second part i assume it is, after all, Akido to my knowledge is a fighting style, not a genre. the real question is, do we fix it?

Logan M

Aikido is a martial art, not a fighting style.

Memor-X

@LoganM to some people, martial arts is still fighting.

Logan M

4:51 AM

Anyway, the right thing to do is, as usual, to replace generic titles with more specific ones. That's possible for almost any good ID request. If it isn't, the question is probably not very good.

@GaoWeiwei if your talking about the answer % remember that's been rounded, it's probably got a few decimal places behind it and could actually be 86.23%

Gao Weiwei

@Memor-X I believe it's more around 87% because a few weeks (or months) ago, it was 88% for a few days.

Logan M

@GaoWeiwei You can get more precise data from the html of stackexchange.com/sites#traffic. We've been dropping slowly for a while. Right now we're at 87.061. Our high point recently was December 30th at 87.541

Yuuki

@Memor-X With dialogue choices and stuff!

Logan M

To get back to 87.5%, we'd need to answer 20 more unanswered questions.

(those stats are a bit cached.)

Gao Weiwei

@LoganM Sorry, but the link redirects to stackexchange.com/sites and I don't see more precise stats.

Logan M

6:05 AM

@GaoWeiwei look at the source.

Right click > view source > ctrl+f search "anime" > scroll down until you see the "hidden" section.

Septian Primadewa

@Memor-X still hoping regular new 3DS for NA or asia region

why why why

Logan M

Alternatively, just visit codemanteau.com/stacker/?siteId=225, which scrapes that data daily.

Septian Primadewa

@LoganM can't find the "hidden"

Logan M

It's there. Try searching for <input type="hidden" name="name" value="Anime & Manga" />

Gao Weiwei

Strange, searched "hidden" and only 3 results showed up, and it's none of those. The codemanteau link does work, however.

You should see the same text as this pastebin paste: pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yXrvfs9u

Try this link: stackexchange.com/sites?view=list#traffic

Gao Weiwei

OK now I see it. Still why don't they make it show up by hover like they do with other stats?

Logan M

Don't know

It isn't really statistically significant to show that many decimal places, but I'd like it if they default showed one more.

We're not an especially large site, but even here, a 1% change in that number is a really big amount (around 40 net questions getting answered). On bigger sites, it almost never changes very much.

Frosteeze

So should we have another one of those events where we try to get all the unanswered ones answered?

Logan M

Did it do very much last time?

I don't remember.

Gao Weiwei

@Frosteeze Like a hackathon?

Frosteeze

6:24 AM

I don't know how effective it was, but I thought it did increased the percentage for a short while

@GaoWeiwei No. It was like simple things such as upvoting answers that were good that had 0 points and other stuff I can't remember

Q: Help us answer these unanswered questions! Take #2!

The last 'unanswered question' day we had was successful enough, but now that we have an even bigger userbase and lots of time to grow our % Answered rate has dropped to 87%. I think that we can bump this back up with a little bit of effort. Here are some things we could look out for: We have ...

discussion unanswered-questions

that one?

Frosteeze

Yeah that one

Logan M

I didn't really do anything for that one.

I did do the first one though. The idea of the first event we had was that everyone in chat would pick one or two, research those, and write an answer.

A lot of the unanswered questions are technically answerable, and maybe not even especially hard, but require some effort and time. We cleared through a bunch of those questions that time.

But we only had around 100 total unanswered questions back then, so it was easier to do that kind of thing.

Gao Weiwei

That sounds like fun

Frosteeze

It's harder with over 500 questions though

Septian Primadewa

6:31 AM

some question already has correct answer but not accepted yet.

Frosteeze

@SeptianPrimadewa Acceptance doesn't matter for the statistic

it just needs to be upvoted and have a score of one or more

Taisho

Gao Weiwei

So 500 might not be hard, just upvote or close for many of them.

Logan M

Yes, if you notice a good answer with 0 votes, upvote it.

mirroroftruth

@SeptianPrimadewa accepting answer is solely depend on the user , we can't do anything but ask them

Logan M

6:33 AM

But don't do it just to move the question to the answered category. If the answer isn't any good, it should still be marked as unanswered.

!!wiki Flan

HoiHoi-san

Flan

Flan is an open pastry or sponge cake containing a sweet or savoury filling. A typical flan of this sort is round, with shortcrust pastry. It is similar to a custard tart or a South African melktert. British savoury flans may have diverged from the Spanish and French custard flans (also known as crème caramel) in the Middle Ages. == Etymology == The English word "flan", and the earlier forms "flaune" and "flawn", come from the Old French flaon (modern French flan), in turn from the early Medieval Latin fladōn-em, derived from the Old High German flado, a sort of flat cake, probably from an Indo...

it is not a pudding?

!!wiki pudding

Pudding is usually a dessert, but it can also be a savory dish. The word pudding is believed to come from the French boudin, originally from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", referring to encased meats used in Medieval European puddings. == Terminology == In the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries, pudding can be used to describe both sweet and savory dishes. However, unless qualified, the term in everyday usage typically denotes a dessert; in the UK, "pudding" is used as synonym for a dessert course. Dessert puddings are rich, fairly homogeneous starch- or dairy-based desserts...
