Any good charities for women in tech?
(some 501(c)(3)s I see: girlswhocode, blackgirlscode. anyone has any info on these two?)
 
@Ave i haven't like in depth investigated them but i'm familiar with them and they seem legit and doing good things

I'll go with blackgirlscode then

Q: How can you make a iron pickaxe break iron bars in MCPE 1.13?

ZaresademeI would also like to know how to upload a map to MCPE Addons because I want to relate some or two worlds that are really cool!

 
1:08 AM
Welp, this sucks. I've got a bugged patient. He's dead, but he refuses to die.
 
@Frank cancer
you need to flood the hospital with radiation
 
@Memor-X Nah. I just closed the treatment room he was blocking, and that seemed to have killed him.
Or...not.
 
@Frank Hospitals around the world struggle with this problem every day
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, but they can at least trust physics and entropy to take care of the problem.
My patient died as he was entering a toilet stall.
 
Time for a "How do I kill my dying patient?" question
2
 
1:15 AM
So now...he doesn't move. And he's blocking my ability to complete the level.
 
@Frank can you pick up patients? Have you tried sending them home?
 
@Wipqozn Can't. He's dead. The option to send him home is gone.
 
@Ave This was an opt in feature for testing, Guess they rolled it out for everyone
It’s not terribly useful IMO unless you’re a recruiter trying to read a GH profile and trying to distinguish if the user is actually writing code or just creating issues
 
Okay, well, I think I figured it out. But I think I have a zombie until I finish the level.
 
@Frank use this opportunity to cure zombieism before the apocalypse starts
 
1:24 AM
iOS keyboard’s shift key is driving me nuts
 
@Memor-X Sadly, I can't actually interact with him in any sense.

Q: How do I convince my patient that he's actually dead?

FrankI've got a patient I don't know how to deal with. You see...he's dead. But I can't tell him that; he's stuck trying to go to the bathroom. His case of deadness struck just as he was entering the stall, and now all he does is stand there. Blocking the door to the toilet stall. People go around...

 
For some reason it doesn’t seem to automatically detect where the start of a sentence is. Even weirder it seems to have memory, in that it’ll actually remember which letter you capitalised, so if you move your cursor back to that letter the shift key automatically turns itself on
I don’t understand this design decision. Maybe it’s just me that accidentally hit the shift key when tying Z or ?
 
@Lazers2.0 @Wipqozn You were saying?

@Frank Excellent

Q: What are the requirements for the different endings in Ys VIII?

bwDracoI've read that Ys VIII has three different endings, which depends primarily on your reputation score, but it also looks like there are additional requirements for the best (true) ending, and there is conflicting information for the amount of reputation needed (e.g. it appears the requirement is l...

Magic

Proposed Q&A site for magicians, studiers of magic, and people who are interested in magic.

Currently in definition.

 
^^^ Haven't really gotten into the game in earnest (need to finish Memories of Celceta first), but went ahead and asked this question. (@Memor-X)
Also... am I really the first person to ask an Ys VIII () question?
 
@bwDraco It wouldn't surprise me. The games have been around for a while, but I think they have a fairly small fan base. Plus it looks like that's on Vita, which was also has a small fanbase.
 
(see also pending suggested edit on tag wiki excerpt)
The tag was named to be consistent with the site's tag naming conventions (use full subtitle where possible but always use Arabic numerals for numbers in a series)
 
1:58 AM
@Lazers2.0 @Frank Nah, nah - he's just resting, look; [nudges Frank's screen] there, he moved.
 
2:11 AM
@bwDraco yeh when i start the series i'm starting at the first game and since that's on PC i'm holding off until i get my new PC

Q: Which way do the fade sliders in Skyrim go?

catI've looked around the web before but never clearly understood (and never observed the effects in-game from) these sliders. What do the "Object Fade", "Grass Fade", "Light Fade" etc sliders mean, and which way (to the right, or to the left) does what? Does putting a slider to the right (fillin...

Q: How can I get the shop worker's luxuries need met?

Tim S.The only method I have found to satisfy the "luxuries" need for inmates is via a shop. My problem is that the inmate who works there is one of the biggest troublemakers because his luxuries need is never met, because he can never buy stuff from his own shop! Below is the screen capture of what I'...

@TrentHawkins I laughed harder at this than I think was necessary but still
 
@Ash Aah, good! I was afraid my efforts would have gone unappreciated. @Frank might have inferred that I was referencing something, But I'm not sure he'd work out the source.
 
user15026
I followed :)
 
@TrentHawkins this is the internet, who is going to miss a pining for the fjords reference?
 
Although I was prepared to go so far as to tell him to send the patient to the Bolton Hospital...
@GodEmperorDune @Frank. Although we've probably given him enough context clues to google it now.

Q: Are there quantifiable benefits to using a frame rate higher than a multiplayer games server tick rate?

kamahayaI was having a conversation about video games with a friend, and we got to talking about frame rates. I just got a 144Hz monitor, and my friend swears that he will stick to 60Hz, because there is no benefit to multiplayer games. We had this conversation with Rainbow 6 Siege in mind, but it should...

CAT/CT and MRI are fundamentally different methods.
 
lol
 
@MadScientist So what you're saying is that actually dogs can operate MRI machines but CATSCAN't?
 
4:20 PM
Hm, so what do you guys think of these two prebuilts: One or Two
One of my coworkers is looking to get a desktop
They both look pretty good, but I don't know enough about AMD to be able to compare the two
 
user15026
@MadScientist ;I am glad I am not the only one who was like "wait a second"
 
@SaintWacko According to this article, the AMD model slightly edges out the Nvidia. And the builds you posted have an AMD 4GB card vs. a Nvidia 3GB card.
 
@Yuuki That's kind of what I was leaning towards recommending
Especially since that one has twice as much ram, too
 
not a fan of either one. 120GB SSD is a bit tiny, the AMD CPU is a bit outdated (not that bad, though). 16GB RAM is nice, I'd be cautious about a 3GB RAM GPU, that could become a hard limit very quickly
 
@MadScientist Yeah, I'm leaning towards the AMD one
 
4:34 PM
It's very difficult to compare the CPUs by spec for prebuilt computers, as OEMs can set a target TDP which drastically limits the CPU performance.

Q: What symbols match which personality types?

AshOften a daily task will ask me to match people with cats of a certain personality type (friendly, playful etc).

@TrentHawkins Yikes. I did 12km yesterday and my legs want to murder me, but that was over the course of the day, not like...in one go.
 
user15026
Did you get some good stuff in Pokemon Go at least?
 
@Ash Nothing THAT great; An Eevee, a little progres towards some of the 400-candy evolutions, hatched a couple starters, endless pidgeys to evolve for XP... spun a LOT of Pokestops downtown.
(An my phone's battery hit 5% after 3/5ths of the journey, so I closed pokemon go and activated "ultra-powersaving-mode" for the rest of the way.)

> Esport "killer games" aren't right for Olympics, says IOC, "We cannot have ... a game which is promoting violence."
Uhh... I agree that e-sports don't really belong in the Olympics, but that's not the reasoning I would've gone with.
Especially when you have multiple rifle events in the Winter Olympics and several martial arts events in the Summer.
 
user15026
I suspect the fact that you're not intending to "kill" in those the way you do in e-sports (aka actual character "death" is assumed to be a thing) is where teh difference is?
 
user15026
(Although I've always thought as Olympics as physical prowess stuff so putting e-sports in there feels weird)
 
@Ash I guess that stuff is more abstracted in Olympic sports than it is in most e-sports games.
@Ash Oh, I agree that e-sports shouldn't be in the Olympics, just not for the reason that they promote violence.
 
user15026
@Yuuki yeah, the reasoning is weird
 
That also doesn't even cover all big e-sports (c.f. Rocket League)
 
user15026
7:27 PM
Well, yeah but I am assuming they're referring to like LOL and DOTA and all of that, which is what most people think of
 
user15026
Like why not just say "we don't like it because it's computer games"
 
user15026
Use the physical prowess argument or something idk
 
Probably, I'm just pointing out even more reasons it's a stupid argument
 
I mean, there are also legitimate concerns that pretty much all e-sports are owned wholly by single companies (Rocket League and Psyonix; League of Legends and Riot Games; DOTA 2 + CS:GO and Valve).
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog giggles I am sure there are plenty, this whole thing is very silly on their part
 
user15026
7:32 PM
@Yuuki oooh, good point there
 
@Yuuki I think CS:GO is run primarily through ESL and ESEA but I might be wrong
also yeah about half of all olympic events are literally war drills lol
 
@Ash Should be in TIF?

NafineI'm shopping for a laptop. I prefer high pixel density displays. In a 15.6-inch laptop screen, 1080p looks blurry to me. 4K resolution looks much better. Here is the problem.

@GodEmperorDune oh gosh
 
user15026
like the kind where they give you just the design that looks liek pocket is bad
 
@Ash they are so terrible

but worst are the like half inch opened ones where you THINK there should be more pocket and then there is not

this is like good stretchy sweater pocket

that's what i was thinking of
