HATS

@UriPopov Yep, and I don't have any!

Me neither, I'm not as active as I thought :(

Last year I got one by accident, this year I can't seem to get any

There is usually one for getting a message starred in chat at a specific moment. I'll have to look into that soon :)

I think that was after new years or something

Plus you need a message worth starring :P

@TomTsagk More or less, I think we create a room just for that

Is that the StackExchange way of celebrating New Years? :P

Oh yeah, star fest!

Sounds like a plan haha

So many bright stars that the Magi spend a bit more time looking for the Jesus... :P

Yay I earned a hat! :3

Looks like it's the promo Get-a-hat?-get-a-star! :P

It's the "I don't need a star, I have a hat" hat

:P

Is it a spoiler if I mention how I got it?

yes

make a hat spoiler room :)

It is a secret hat, so yes :)

I'm sure some would love to talk about them!

Fair enough, I'm not gonna mention anything

The list is here. The way to get the secret hats is "hidden".

The list of secret hats is not, though.

Aaaah yeah, secret hats

Errr... bad design. We use "gain" to adjust the sounds emitted by the various entities in the software, but the API of our audio library expects "dB". And internally, it converts those dB to gain before passing it to the 3rd party audio engine.

:(

Yeah; as long as we know about it :P

Is there a quick and easy way to know the speed of an falling object at when it hits the ground when I drop it one meter above the ground? (My brain is in strawberry jam at the moment.)

I came up with this script...

accel_mss = 9.8
time_increment_s = 0.001

speed_ms = 0
distance_m = 0
total_time_s = 0

while True:
    speed_ms += accel_mss * time_increment_s
    distance_m += speed_ms * time_increment_s
    total_time_s += time_increment_s

    if distance_m >= 1.0:
        break

print(distance_m, total_time_s, speed_ms)

v(t) = v0 + at

where v0 = initial velocity and a = acceleration and t is the time.

x(t) = x0 +v0t +1/2 at^2

x0 is initial position, x(t) is final position. solve for t, plug into top equation
