and in Minecraft, you need to type /tell [playername]

Nevik Rehnel

@Vogel612 for realz???!?!?!?one

Astrum

which is super annoying

Nevik Rehnel

@Astrum /t or /w doesnt work?

Vogel612

@NevikRehnel man kann aber auch bestimmte messages als reply angeben..

Nevik Rehnel

@Vogel612 ja aber dafür gibts keinen shortcut

Vogel612

10:00

Hover to see linked questions

ja schon..

Nevik Rehnel

und die msg numbers werden ja nicht angezeigt

Vogel612

aber man kann ja immer @Nevik machen

Astrum

@NevikRehnel sadly not. I think in the last patch clicking their name in chat would work, but not anymore

Nevik Rehnel

aber das highlighted dann die letzte nachricht

nicht die gewollte

Vogel612

stimmt natürlich auch wieder..

Nevik Rehnel

10:01

@Astrum i cant believe the developers would want to type out that command all the time

Astrum

I don't know, I'll check into it another time when I'm playing

who wants to hear a funny joke?

Nevik Rehnel

> You can also do [tab complete] with commands: Type / and the first letter of the command.

^--- from minecraft wiki

Astrum

what does "tab complete" do?

Nevik Rehnel

same as everywhere else, it completes a started word (in minecraft chat, commands or player names)

you can also use /r to reply

Astrum

oh wow, thanks

/seen is also useful

Nevik Rehnel

10:05

this list also points out that @playername should work

Astrum

I'll give them a test tomorrow

it's time for a really corny physics joke....

Nevik Rehnel

developers would never want to type out /tell all the time when testing the game :P

there's always a shortcut for whispering

Astrum

Heisenberg was an awful lover. Whenever he had the right position he never had the right speed, whenever he had the energy he never had the time.

Nevik Rehnel

lol

Astrum

that's actually really funny, IMO

Nevik Rehnel

10:06

it would be funnier if he were unsure of the right speed

etc

Astrum

that damn communitor messes everything up

The tachyon leaves. The bartender says, 'We don't serve your kind here.' A tachyon walks into a bar.

Nevik Rehnel

rofl

Astrum

that is the greatest joke

Nevik Rehnel

> A branch, a tag, and a reflog walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this, some sort of rebase?"

Astrum

oh boy, I wish I could say I get it

programmer jokes

Nevik Rehnel

10:09

specifically, Git jokes

> I kissed a git, and I liked it. I hope my repo don't mind it.

Astrum

what is a "git"?

Nevik Rehnel

The best™ DVCS out there

Astrum

it doesn't really help me, I know very little about programming

it's kind of my weak spot...

Nevik Rehnel

it keeps track of file revisions

it's like an application-independent undo function

Astrum

ah

Nevik Rehnel

10:12

very roughly speaking

Astrum

I've been meaning to try and get familiar with python, I just need to finish some other stuff first

Nevik Rehnel

python is fun

it's so good-natured

Astrum

I'm only looking to have a basic idea of how to use it

so I can hopefully join some research projects

publications!

Nevik Rehnel

lol

Astrum

I'd kill to have a publication before I apply to grad school

QFT is so sexy

Nevik Rehnel

10:16

publications are meh

probably wont benefit me much in my field

project and work experience probably counts more

Astrum

I don't know too much about CS, or how the field works, but for anybody that wants to go into academia (in the natural sciences, at least), publications are worth their weight in gold

Nevik Rehnel

yeah, which is what i dont want to do :P

industry ftw

Astrum

1. Letters of Rec 2. Publications 3. grades 4. Statement of Purpose

I'd kinda be bummed if I ended up in industry

but only 20% of physics PhDs get to work in academia, so who knows what will happen

Nevik Rehnel

academia in germany includes a teaching obligation

which is like yeaahhhhhh no

Astrum

in the US, profs aren't known for their teaching abilities...

I'd like to work in a national lab

Nevik Rehnel

10:19

they are nowhere

but theyre publicly funded

so theyre required to teach the "public"

Astrum

I wouldn't mind teaching, you could get your grad students to do all the work

mwuahahahaha

Nevik Rehnel

>mfw PowerPoint can't properly embed PDFs

welcome to 1999

Astrum

hang on... you use PP 1999?!?!

Nevik Rehnel

yes, because there was a PP 99

<--- goes get out his sarcasm sign

@Astrum it was an exaggeration, because it's incredible that PP 2010 cannot embed PDFs

"other people's formats? who are we, the open source community?" -- microsoft

it cannot open SVG either

Astrum

oh, I see

Nevik Rehnel

10:26

because, psh, who would use vector graphics, right?

raster graphics are THE BOMB!

with their bad compression and limited scalability

Vogel612

<-- goes get his irony/sarcasm/nihilism sign

Nevik Rehnel

> nihilism sign

you mean the imaginary one?

Vogel612

the very one

Nevik Rehnel

:D

Astrum

.... I thought everything is raster?

Nevik Rehnel

10:29

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno

Vogel612

<-- goes to get his "facepalm" sign

Nevik Rehnel

in fact, fonts have been vector graphics forever

if youve ever heard of postscript, that is vector-based as well

as is PDF

Astrum

so... that means if you zoomed in on them....?

Nevik Rehnel

and for vector graphics, SVG is the de-facto standard open format

@Astrum it means they're losslessly scalable

Astrum

I never noticed that before... I'm gonna test it out

Nevik Rehnel

10:31

@Astrum the SVG logo on wikipedia

Vogel612

@Nevik there are still so damn many games, that use rasterized graphics as scalable textures and effects..

Nevik Rehnel

if you zoom it in your browser, the browser probably has a zoom limit of about 1600%; if you want more, use an image viewer ;)

Astrum

wow, I understand everything now!

Nevik Rehnel

@Vogel612 because engines prefer them

@Vogel612 the problem is that current graphics cards are optimized for raster graphics operations

because we've been doing that since literally forever

Vogel612

yea, but it still always (PG-13'd)s me up when the range indicator to whatever is so uber-pixelated...

Nevik Rehnel

10:33

vector pipelines are slowly coming along

Astrum

why can @Vogel612 say [buttcheeks], but I can't?!

Nevik Rehnel

because i didn't notice, haha

@Vogel612 no hard swearing please :P PG13 and all that

Vogel612

@Astrum WHERE... gotta PG-13 it.

Astrum

@Vogel612 I didn't see anything ;)

Vogel612

<-- raises hand to (PG13)slap Astrum for making him worry

Nevik Rehnel

10:36

ha

Astrum

my philosophy is that R language questions should be allowed, but I don't own the site sooooo

Nevik Rehnel

man, this lame joke from HIMYM is stuck in my head

Astrum

whatever, but I'm not happy about it -_-

@NevikRehnel never watched that show

Nevik Rehnel

@Astrum that might be something to discuss on German Language Meta

Vogel612

@Nevik you mean the story about 5 free slaps whenever ?

Nevik Rehnel

10:37

@Vogel612 no, the general/major joke

i just read "general setup"

and saluted to "GENERAL SETUP!"

SIR

Vogel612

that's generally not a good idea

whoops I did it again. major mistake..

Astrum

@NevikRehnel maybe, but I probably shouldn't be the one to bring it up. It just seems weid, because "adult" language just happens. Watching American movies, you'd miss a lot if you didn't know any bad language...

Nevik Rehnel

for your reference

@Astrum well if you wont, no one will :D

Astrum

I always have to be the bad guy, I see how it is!

Nevik Rehnel

yes

Astrum

10:39

Mr. giggles already dislikes me for some reason, no clue what got up his ass

and now everybody gets to come down on me after I post

Vogel612

WHAAAA PG-13 sensor alert

Astrum

ass is PG-13 though

Vogel612

it is?? dammit.

Nevik Rehnel

@Vogel612 not a four letter word

those are the dangerous ones

Vogel612

<-- grabbing something to eat

Nevik Rehnel

10:40

it makes as much sense as the RR \o/

OregonGhost

I don't get the PG-13 thing. Ask any Kita child about their swearwords and they'll come up with worse things than you'll get here.

Astrum

alrighty fellas

Nevik Rehnel

@OregonGhost indeed

Astrum

@OregonGhost I have a supporter!

Nevik Rehnel

@Astrum we never said we thought the rule was a good idea

OregonGhost

10:41

This is the German chat anyway, let's use German rules. And here is no PG-13 :p

Nevik Rehnel

it's in the network ToS, so there's not much you can do about it

Takkat

@OregonGhost Frag ein jedes deutsches Schulkind und es wird noch wesentlich schlimmer!

OregonGhost

(not that I'd use bad language anyway unless in person - but auto-censoring is bad, like clbuttical (; )

@Takkat Das ist wahr.

Nevik Rehnel

@OregonGhost there is no auto-censoring in place

(if you mean automatic censoring; if you mean "auto" as in "self", then i think that's appropriate here :P)

Takkat

Frage in den Raum: versteht hier eigentlich jemand nicht so gut Deutsch?

Nevik Rehnel

10:49

*zirp zirp *

Astrum

huh? Are you asking if somebody here understands German poorly? Cuz... that'd be me! =D

I really ought to go to sleep

this is waaaaaaay too late for me

at least I got some work done though...

Chopper Read - a great Australian vocabulary

ooookk

Q: Should chat discussions preferably be in German?

As of today the topic of our main chat room is worded as follows: General discussion for german.stackexchange.com. You may speak both German and English here. So everybody speaking German or English is welcome to talk and discuss matters on the German language or on issues with our site. We...

discussion

Opinions are welcome :)

drch

12:29

ich habe gedacht, dass es normalerweise immer auf Deutsch hier ist

fast immer sowieso

Vogel612

immer wenn du da bist..

ansonsten herrscht hier meistens da Englische ;)

Takkat

12:49

Wenn neue Leute hier hereinschauen sind sie vielleicht auch enttäuscht, wenn es "nur" englischsprachigen Smalltalk gibt.

OregonGhost

Ohne jetzt gerade auf die Frage antworten zu wollen. Ich finde es schon sinnvoll, dass man hier mehr deutsch redet und lieber Lernenden bei Nachfragen auf Englisch antwortet, wenn diese es fordern.

Es war auch nicht immer alles auf Englisch, sondern nur, wenn es jemandem geholfen hat bzw. sein Deutsch nicht ausreichend war. Also damals jedenfalls, in den guten alten Zeiten ;)

Vogel612

@Oregon du hörst dich an wie ein Opa.. na ob der Satz jetzt stimmte (?)

Takkat

hach - die guten alten Zeiten :)

drch

aber Leute bleiben manchmal wenn es 'smalltalk' auf Englisch oder Deutsch gibt

und nicht 16 hours later...

Vogel612

oder 3 Days later

drch

12:55

ja klar

Vogel612

ich habe das Gefühl, dass es in letzter Zeit auch am Wochenende hier voll ist..

Takkat

oder 3 weeks later

Vogel612

Haaach die guten Alten Zeiten ;)

Takkat

@drch Smalltalk auf Deutsch finde ich eine prima Idee!

drch

ja es ist ein neue Begriff für die Deutsche =]

Takkat

12:58

Schwätzchen

plaudern

Plausch

^^sterbende Wörter :"(

drch

die deutsche Weise ist besser. Niemand hier im Email beginnt mit 'How was your weekend? Hope you're well....' usw

hier ist es direkt auf den Punkt

Vogel612

hier im Email??

drch

hier in Deutschland

Vogel612

dann eher: Niemand hier beginnt eine Email mit [...]

oder noch besser: Kein Deutscher

drch

ah danke ;)

Vogel612

13:09

@Takkat würdest du vielleicht die Meta-Frage von oben statt der CommunityEvaluation featuren?

Takkat

Ich pinne das mal hier - es betriff ja nur den Chat...

Should chat discussions preferably be in German?

clinch

15:12

@NevikRehnel „derselbe“, „dieselbe“, usw. wurde schon immer zusammen geschrieben, das hat nichts mit der Rechtschreibreform zu tun
