Why?

Add your os and examples of expected and actual behavior and it seems reasonable

@internetofmine Oh, I don't mean long-term. Just for the hours you need to test different hardware configs.

I had like a dozen different dreams

> Third: This may be good news. Ive is, to state the obvious, preternaturally talented. But in the post-Jobs era, with all of Apple design, hardware and software, under his control, we’ve seen the software design decline and the hardware go wonky. I don’t know the inside story, but it certainly seems like a good bet that MacBook keyboard fiasco we’re still in the midst of is the direct result of Jony Ive’s obsession with device thinness and minimalism.
Today’s MacBooks are worse computers but more beautiful devices than the ones they replaced. Is that directly attributable to Jony Ive? With…

Jony Ive is leaving Apple? Holy...

Okay... having a tooth pulled is... interesting.

@rahuldottech I searched Evans Hankey and got Ive results.

Can I see somewhere their designs other than the market? Either of Hankey or Ive

@bwDraco software I am running on does not really support cuda from what I can tell, so going for expensive gpu will be waste of resources, we might wait for new ryzens though :)

Heh. But I thought WITNESS had CUDA support...

internetofmine

@Bob still there's a problem of not having floating licence for the software, but usb key :)

Only support it has is for visual basic :P

When I have to do some edits in witness' models it feels as if i had entered a time capsule and moved back to late 90s actually

@bwDraco What happened in our room (SOes)?

Some old messages were flagged. They were old enough that one would have had to dig into the transcript to do so.

Anonymous

@bwDraco oh, from the same day?

One of them was some 20 hours ago. Forgot the other.

Anonymous

@bwDraco But, how can be old messaged flagged? In the transcript there is no option to do that.

6:16 AM

Or not quite transcript, but scroll very far back.

("load older messages" at the top of the page)

@bwDraco Ok, thank you

I'm not a mod, but the flags were on messages long enough ago that it looked like flag abuse.

(10k users on chat get to see chat spam/offensive flags)

This is not the first time I've seen this sort of flag abuse...

Anonymous

@bwDraco In our room or somewhere else?

Elsewhere.

I don't really speak Spanish, just know a tiny bit from my high school days :p

Anonymous

@bwDraco Do you remember the offensive word used?

6:24 AM

IIRC it's Spanish for the F-word.

Anonymous

@bwDraco 'puto'?

Yup, thanks for jogging my memory.

I've seen messages get flagged simply because they contained profanity, even if they're not actually offensive.

Anonymous

@bwDraco yeah, we are having some issues with that this week

Look, if you insist on flagging non-offensive content simply because you don't like it or you just want attention, then you need to go elsewhere.

in Mathematics, Jun 5 '17 at 0:51, by bwDraco

Whoever is flagging these messages, please stop. They're not offensive solely because they contain profanity. They're not meant to be offensive towards anyone.

Anonymous

So, the last message will gonna get flagged

I don't get why people get a kick out of abusing flags this way...

Anonymous

@bwDraco Are you learning some spanish with us? xD

Sadly... not really. I just saw some odd flagging activity and responded to it to the best of my ability. It took a bit of help from Google Translate, though I had to draw upon my old Spanish experience because I knew the machine translation wasn't quite right.

Anyhoo, good night. It's almost 3 am here.

Anonymous

@bwDraco Good night :)

8:05 AM

@bwDraco I was having a talk with a native Spanish speaker over that

Apparently it's rude in one dialect but not another

In these cases grab a mod ( I'd not have been much use sleeping) and we have tricks for grabbing a native speaker

No, the images are the same, but they've put them (all 5 are identical) in different orders.

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, well. Amazon India sellers are pretty crazy.

9:43 AM

Hmm

amazon.in/dp/B002GHBYZ0/… vs amazon.in/dp/B0023BYDHK/…

I can't tell which would be better for me

Is the only difference the optical out?

@MichaelFrank And that one ground connector (?) near the RCAs, I think

Oh that looks more like a knob for the preamp

oh wait, yea it's a ground.

nevermind me.

Oh yea... so the ground is for a turntable!

@MichaelFrank wha?

As in vinyl turntable?

that's a phono preamp, so yea. Vinyls.

9:49 AM

@MichaelFrank oh wow. Not for me then, lol

Yea, you probably want the red one.

Red is cooler anyway.

Q: How to track mail undetectably?

4:33 PM

@DavidPostill you HNA'd !

As far as I have searched, there are many third-party email tracking systems; and many of them are in the form of add-ons for gmail. I have tested two of them, and they work fine when the recipients are using gmail or yahoo web clients. But when they use MUAs (Mail User Agents) like Outlook or ...

I should of wrote my own answer based on yours :D
