siikamiika

I'm sorry for the offtopic question but does anybody know what's wrong with our 16x16 favicon?

Ben N

The Super User favicon?

allquixotic

O___O

siikamiika

It reads "SL"

allquixotic

so apparently Super User is "SL" now. lol. nice catch!

DJMcMayhem

20:02

Super Luser? :P

allquixotic

Super Lusers?

siikamiika

If I zoom closer, it becomes the old one

Ben N

Weird, it looks normal to me at normal zoom level

DJMcMayhem

Yay! First star in a new room :)

Ben N

Try a hard reload?

allquixotic

20:02

@siikamiika bug ?

siikamiika

relevant sprites: cdn.sstatic.net/img/favicons-sprite16.png?v=0b5182b5ddfc cdn.sstatic.net/img/favicons-sprite32.png?v=d83f309374a8

@allquixotic probably

allquixotic

hard reload = Ctrl+F5

siikamiika

persists :/

allquixotic

what browser/OS and link? is this on stackexchange.com ?

or wait, it's probably on your profile page

siikamiika

Yeah, it's my profile page at japanese.SE

Firefox 54/linux

Ben N

20:05

The other icons are all wrong too, in your screenshot

allquixotic

-ENOREPRO on Chrome 60/Win10

Ben N

No repro in either Firefox or Chrome on Win10

allquixotic

any JS console or network errors?

it might be defaulting to letters (though why not "SU"?!) if it gets a 404 or 500 or other abnormal HTTP code from the real icon

Ben N

It looks like an off-by-one (or some other offset) in the spritesheet

Notice how the SO icon has an extra red line; I'm pretty sure that's the icon for one of the international versions

siikamiika

This also happens on chromium 59

If it's relevant I'm from Finland

allquixotic

20:09

could it be a geographical thing?

siikamiika

The only error in console is blocking quant.js with adblocker

Anyway, 1. happens only with 16x16 sprites 2. FF 54/chromium 59 on linux 3. Finland

allquixotic

would it be loading higher res sprites on our systems for some reason?

the background-image property of the icon for me points to cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/japanese/all.css?v=99cf0dfa598a

Ben N

What are the first few icons you see at the top of the spritesheet?

I see 3D Printing, Meta 3D Printing, Academia (books), its meta, AI, M.AI, "B", its meta, then Android and its meta

allquixotic

TS;CR (too small, can't read)

bwDraco

Missed the drama earlier because this laptop crashed on me.

Ben N

20:15

On Chrome you can click the tiny vertical strip to zoom to 100%

allquixotic

@bwDraco good; we're currently trying to figure out why Super User's favicon is loading as "SL" in a generic blue bubble for this guy in his profile

Ben N

There appears to be an offset of 2

bwDraco

SVG drawing oddity?

siikamiika

Ben N

Ohhhh I think I know what's going on

bwDraco

20:16

Is the sprite sheet SVG or PNG?

allquixotic

png

Ben N

There's a new Augur site launching, which will be near the top

I suspect the list of sprite positions has been updated to account for that, but the sheet itself hasn't yet

bwDraco

If the resolution is too low, rasterization can cause some pixels to be lost, especially if it isn't interpolated properly.

allquixotic

Ben N

Though I don't know why none of us are getting the weirdness

allquixotic

20:17

definitely looks like an off by one (or two?!) thing; the blue SL is two down from the SU one

bwDraco

CSS bug.

Ben N

Augur just launched a few minutes ago

Or an hour, time zones are hard

siikamiika

@BenN Ahh that must be it :D

allquixotic

so can we blame CDN caching or something?

Ben N

Yup

allquixotic

20:18

sweet; problem solved

and it's off by two because meta.augur

siikamiika

Thanks all!

allquixotic

lol.

Ben N

allquixotic

so SU -> SL and meta.SU -> meta.SL

Ben N

If anyone wants a very low user ID, now's your chance to get it

allquixotic

20:20

lol

don't you have to get in to Augur via the A51 participation?

I didn't participate :S

Ben N

You have to go through the A51 page, but anyone can join

allquixotic

oh!

well. I'm not going to join a site that's completely unrelated to anything I do... I'll probably wait for seltzerwaterdrinkers.stackexchange.com or macbookproowners.stackexchange.com or peoplewithfliesintheirhouse.stackexchange.com

that's not hugging, Inspirobot

@BenN I already have 3.

allquixotic

8 years; WOW

Ben N

This one is actually profound if you think about it for a bit

allquixotic

@BenN O_O wow

Ben N

allquixotic

I hope that's not the usage of that word I fear it might be

it's missing an "in"

The code is quite funny if read.

allquixotic

20:50

@NotAdminDave lol :D is that from a TV show? there's Java, a matter-energy converter, time warp code based on DateTime, and apparently the actor using a live system and typing sdfsdfsdf...

NotAdmin Dave

yeah its from KungFury (its on youtube) and free to watch, its quite funny.

My friend thinks transferring 1 GB data to his SSD drive will permanently degrade the reading speed, even if I remove that data. If this is true, how many times would I have to transfer 1 GB of data to have any visible impact on performance?

Avery

also after a whole day I fixed my install issues with this pc

Ben N

Yay!

Avery

disabling fastboot worked to get usb boot working, on rufus I had to pick UEFI only. Apparently this PC can't boot from MBR without CSM, and CSM didn't like the drive, so... in the end I got it working with UEFI and secure boot and everything.

Most important question in the world: Why does device setup appear when you plug devices you've already used 100 times and especially when you can use said device to close the popup, since it already works?
