12:00 PM

@WillHunting to push SO dev questions out of view.

prime

@MattЭллен, which room?

ΜετάEd

That should be pinking balrogs.

Matt Эллен

@prime I'm sure if you search the site the answer will be in there

prime

user19161

I need lemons.

ЯegDwight

12:00 PM

Pinking balrogs and the braing balrogs.

prime

No pertinent room there

Robusto

@ЯegDwight A cold? That is your wild surmise?

ЯegDwight

@prime PIcture is here, why? How is it pertinent here?

Matt Эллен

@prime then search for the answer using the search function. it's a Q&A website - the question will have been asked and answered in there somewhere, I am almost certain

prime

@GraceNote, i think, you are a game developer, right? Which programming language do you use for game dev work and which library/api?

user19161

I should use the "ignore user" button as well.

Grace Note

12:05 PM

Visually here, yes.

Employed as one? No. And I haven't been doing any code work for game development since hiring

prime

@GraceNote, you don't code for game dev work?

@GraceNote, what's your profession? I think, you use opengl for game developing

tchrist

Stat rosa pristina nomine; nomina nuda tenemus.

Grace Note

I told you, my job is a community manager here at Stack Exchange.

I'd be amazed if you ever discovered what platforms I work with in my hobby, considering you have no product to even work off of. I could be using pygame for all you know.

ЯegDwight

I never ignored a user. Not even sure if that's possible as a mod. Or whether it should be.

Grace Note

@ЯegDwight It's possible, but for the reasons you can conceive, generally unwise.

Matt Эллен

12:08 PM

I wonder if users can ignore mods...

prime

@GraceNote, programming/coding is just hobby for you?

ЯegDwight

@MattЭллен That would be okay with me.

Grace Note

@prime Game development is, yes, because that's what it is when you aren't employed or paid to do it.

user19161

@ЯegDwight I will never ignore you!

Gigili

No flirting in this chat.

ЯegDwight

12:09 PM

@WillHunting sounds like a challenge!

Grace Note

@MattЭллен It's possible, but for reasons you can't possibly grasp, generally unwise.

ЯegDwight

Teehee.

prime

@GraceNote, i think, there are some company who hires game developers for android or iphone apps

ЯegDwight

No way!

Matt Эллен

@GraceNote oh my!

ЯegDwight

12:10 PM

Now prime is just making up things.

Grace Note

Now that's what we call a major tangent

ЯegDwight

That's lieutenant to you.

user19161

A troll is on the loose.

prime

@GraceNote, game developing is your hobby only , right?

Robusto

You can ignore loose trolls.

Grace Note

12:11 PM

Correct

@ЯegDwight I'm actually long unversed in the subject, but I thought majors were higher than lieutenants.

prime

@GraceNote, but there are professional game developers in UK, i think

tchrist

Canum virumque armo.

ЯegDwight

@GraceNote that was the joke, yes.

tchrist

oder: arma virumque cano.

Matt Эллен

@prime there are many professional games developers in the UK

ЯegDwight

12:12 PM

Next time I'll go for serge or private.

prime

@GraceNote,Which university did you take your bachelor degree in CS

Grace Note

There are professional game developers in a lot of places, UK included. I am not among them, neither in the professional capacity nor in the UK capacity.

user19161

Why are there majors and no minors?

Grace Note

@ЯegDwight Well, as long as you're not Major Major Major Major...

Matt Эллен

Grace Note

12:13 PM

@prime If you know what I actually studied, it's always coupled with the school I went to.

prime

@GraceNote, do you wish to be a professional game developer?

tchrist

I believe Grace is our muse.

Grace Note

I like my current job, so in the near term, I'd rather make products independently

Point is, this is irregular circumstance. Cycles are, by very definition, regular.

Only bicycles are irregular.

tchrist

Only Grace can turn "none of your business" into something that doesn’t sound in the least bit offputting.

And only Jasper talks about his bowels in public places.

ЯegDwight

@tchrist Not quite accurate. Only Grace can be bothered to do that.

Unless it was an irregular cycle, then, yeah, I guess that would not be regular. By definition again, as it were, to wit.

Iris (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Iris (; Ἶρις) is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. She is also known as one of the goddesses of the sea and the sky. Iris links the gods to humanity. She travels with the speed of wind from one end of the world to the other, and into the depths of the sea and the underworld. In myths According to Hesiod's Theogony, Iris is the daughter of Thaumas and the cloud nymph Electra. Her sisters are the Harpies; Aello, Celaeno and Ocypete.

Finian's Rainbow is a musical with a book by E.Y. Harburg and Fred Saidy, lyrics by Harburg, and music by Burton Lane. The 1947 Broadway production ran for 725 performances.

Rainbows End

Rainbows End is a 2006 science fiction novel by Vernor Vinge. It was awarded the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Novel. The book is set in San Diego, California, in 2025, in a variation of the fictional world Vinge explored in his 2002 Hugo-winning novella "Fast Times at Fairmont High" and 2004's "Synthetic Serendipity". Vinge has tentative plans for a sequel, picking up some of the loose threads left at the end of the novel. The many technological advances depicted in the novel suggest that the world is undergoing ever-increasing change, perhaps destined for a technological singularity, a re...

Arco iris

Un arcoíris, arco iris o iris es un fenómeno óptico y meteorológico que produce la aparición de un espectro de frecuencias de luz continuo en el cielo cuando los rayos del sol atraviesan pequeñas gotas de agua contenidas en la atmósfera terrestre.

Menos frecuente es el arco iris doble, el cual incluye un segundo arco más tenue con los colores invertidos, es decir el rojo hacia el interior y el violeta hacia el exterior.

Q: Is it appropriate to use 'the' when referring to someone's 'property'?

I was with someone today and we were talking about a woman, and she said: "Wow, the husband must be so proud." I was confused as to which was correct or more appropriate as opposed to: "Wow, her husband must be so proud." Thanks.

Husbands are property now?
