Did you know there was a tripple-path-integral sign?

I did!

Looks like a confused bug.

Why stop at 3? Why not 100?

Zgarb

There's also the quadruple integral: ⨌

Alex A.

7:33 PM

Path integration exists beyond 3 dimensions, right? So it doesn't stop at 3.

@Zgarb Is there a way to do a quadruple path integral?

\circint in LaTeX IIRC

flawr

Yes, but unicode only has them up to 3!

Alex A.

You need to use UTF-n for n > 32.

Zgarb

@AlexA. In Unicode or in math?

Alex A.

Unicode

You know what this is? ⨒

HAHA! Is that a real Unicode character?

Yep, one of the new emojis

Alex A.

That makes me happy.

iOS is the reason I was excited.

Q: Cut a pizza into identical slices

This is what I thought this question was going to be, before I fully read it. A group of code golfers walk into The Nineteenth Bite Pizzeria and order a pizza. It comes in an irregular shape, made of unit squares. Your task is to help them cut it into identical slices. That is, the slices mus...

Best use of mod powers ever!

Mod powers are most useful when it comes to chat banning Geobits for using tabs

Geobits

@Doorknob Deleting accounts of tab users won't make your unholy use of spaces right. It'll just feed your echo chamber, entrenching your beliefs until one day when the scales fall from your eyes. On that day, you will know the truth.

Really? Somebody flagged me for that? :P

Somebody flagged @Doorknob too!

Richard

@Geobits - /Sighs

Shockingly, I can see and respond to flags on my own posts.

Doorknob

Please stop. Flags aren't jokes. They get broadcast to every single moderator and 10k+ user on chat.

Optimizer

yeah.. although, how come we get a new mod pop in everytime we have flags (which happens rarely though)?

Richard

@Doorknob - Indeed. And flagging maliciously is cause for suspension

Also, moderators can see who flagged a message. Just sayin'.

Geobits

@Optimizer Because everyone 10K+ (and mods) in every chat room sees them, and some pop in to see context before deciding whether to agree or invalidate.

mods can't see that?

@Optimizer We can see it, but we're not allowed to tell.

Doorknob

It used to be possible to see who starred a thing through the WebSockets, but not anymore AFAIK.

@Richard Good to know, thanks.

Pietu1998

Mods should also be able to reverse that, i.e. force a random user to star a message

Someone is unstarring my messages even before they get starred! its really hard for me to get stars :(

(The removal of this "feature" is my fault.)
