@WYSIWYG No not really.
 
Hey, @Chris thought you might like to know you work is appreciated:
in Unix and Linux, 2 days ago, by Faheem Mitha
@terdon Chris over in biology.sx writes pretty good answers.
 
1:59 PM
@terdon Oh, thanks for letting me know.
And no, I am not native english speaking. I miss typos sometimes.
 
@Chris Pfft, I assure you, you write better than many an article I've read or have had to review.
That's why editing is allowed after all.
 
I have no problem with that. I do the same for other people when I spot errors and typos.
It's also a chance to improve. When I don't write, I don't get better.

Is this chat usually this silent or I just came here at the wrong moment?
 
I would say, it depends.
Sometimes it is quite active and then again it is quiet for days.
 
this quite interesting
guess i had the image of a "traditional" chat in my mind
I'm still quite new here and tryong to learn the habits of this site
So where are you guys from?
 
6:37 PM
i am from germany, but have lived for quite a while in iceland
 
wow nice
I'm from Hungary
 
don'T forget that we have a relatively small number of regulars - if they have no time, then there is no chat
nice as well...have never been there yet
 
I've noticed that most reviews and answers come from a handful of people like 15-20 maybe
 
most people get not involved deeper into the site...so there are not many.
this can be problematic, as this influences the way the community reacts to questions

hi, may I ask why this happens? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUJLgKkmllA
It might be entirely physics, but I would like to ask it here first.
 
7:34 PM
so I'm back sorry I had to do some meergency house work
plus I spilled my cupcake with whipped cream on my laptop
but it works :D
emergency *
jesus that spelling :D
So we were at not many people participating
But what is the desirable size of "core" communitiy
?
I think that around 100 people would display enough diversity yet it is relatively easy to achieve some sort of consensus
but maybe I'm wrong

emergency house work - you needed to wash some dishes? :-)
 
almost :D
 
I don't know what the disirable community size is - I think biology will continue to grow. The last year was pretty ok.
