@badp Never knew that the mac's not responding icon was actually so low-quality. Looks good from zoomed out!

Huh?

Double post...?

Oh. Gone. Phew...

May I ask—how might one go about posting one of those 'integrated questions', here in this chat room?

fredley

@wolfboyft What do you mean by 'integrated question', and... just ask it?

badp

09:06

@wolfboyft it's probably just a low quality not-responding icon, I doubt it's what's in use currently.

Anton

@wolfboyft find the share button near the question and paste it here

Okay.

@5pike Heat is dehydrating, so a dilute solution of caffeine, which is also dehydrating, will cure this #homeopathy

@wolfboyft A word of advice: tone down the level of messages until you've been here long enough to see how we chat here. If people aren't responding to you, it's probably a sign to tone it down a bit.

wolfboyft

Okay.

Arperum

@fredley Or a sign that multiple people have ignored that person, because of a recent bad memory.

fredley

@Arperum Yeah

Arperum

It's not a good time to be a new person in this chat. Especially if you jump in as blunt as some of our regular users.

@Arperum Is this something to say that I've been ignored...? Or am I being paranoid :D

@Arperum Python is probably the least obscure scripting language. There should be some reasonably hard data on Python popularity, if your boss can be convinced by data

fredley

Python is literally based on pseudocode

Private Pansy

@MadScientist My university teaches Python in the introductory CS1010

A lot of other schools probably do too

fredley

@badp Are you sure?

@PrivatePansy We were taught ML, then Java

Arperum

@MadScientist I haven't been able to convince him to try Django, I'm pretty sure it's a lost case, since the only two languages that are good to him are C# and php. I'm already having some work to keep him away from php.

New Age, Berlin School of Electronic Music - AU REVOIR by Sequentia Legenda

►

I wonder if Berlin School is literally the name of a school, or if it was like a movement or something

Berlin School of electronic music

The Berlin School was a style of electronic music that emerged in the 1970s. An offshoot of Krautrock, Berlin School was so named because most of its early practitioners were based in West Berlin, Germany. It was shaped by artists such as Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Manuel Gottsching. Innovative Berlin School recordings were a precursor of ambient music. The genre's identification with space music distinguished it from the more percussive and rhythm-oriented Düsseldorf School, which included Can, Cluster, Kraftwerk, and Neu!. These latter bands have had a greater impact on synthpop and...

Q: How many name prefixes can be stacked onto one weapon?

A lot of weapons aren't just your standard weapon. Certain 'Qualities' can be applied to weapons to make them stand out or increase their rarity.
