12:03 AM
yesterday our 2nd highest total pageview of all time, since open beta.
to day we're back to normals
 
@Krazer That's awesome. I noticed our jump to 400.
I wonder why, though. We didn't make the multicollider.
 
I think it's mostly due to current members being more active
there's was no big change in new visits
but a spike in visits
 
12:32 AM
Ah, gotcha.
 
12:54 AM
Do we want a parody tag?

Q: What are the episode titles of Boku no Imouto wa "Oosaka Okan" parody of?

nhahtdhListed below are all the episode titles from the official site (in Japanese). The title for the limited time episode on NicoNico is taken from the official (?) blog (in Japanese): Episode 1: ある朝、大阪おかんの妹ができまして。 (Aru Asa, Oosaka Okan no Imouto ga Dekimashita) Episode 2: 妹が大阪おかんなんですけど! (Imouto...

 
@LoganM I vote no.

> According to many characters, he has "manly interests" and seems perverted for his age, as he likes to grope women with "large, soft breasts".
The subject of this quote is 12 years old.
This world, man. This world.
 
Apparently I have the same number of questions as answers. That's a little bit upsetting.
 
@LoganM I'm offset by 2.
27A-25Q.
 
@Eric I used to have 41 answers/31 questions, then happened.
 
lol
You have no one to blame but Fruits Basket yourself.
 
I think parody between works happens quite often in comedy genre
I think is even further away from anime/manga
than
 
1:29 AM
@nhahtdh was April Fools' only and will be removed shortly.
 
Why is there April's Fool here? I think on Meta.SO, there has been discussion and it was agreed that no joke question even on April's Fool Day
 
I only gained 1 answer from .
@nhahtdh Nah... there's one that did pretty well on SO.
It's still alive and strong, 3rd on the newsletter today.
 
There was a pretty popular one on Math.SE as well.
 
The one on SO has almost 200 upvotes combined between question and all the answers.
 
@Mysticial I hope it's CW.
 
1:32 AM
It as masterminded by the guys from the C++ room.
@Eric No it isn't.

Q: What is this smiley-with-beard expression: "<:]{%>"?

XeoI came across the following program, which compiles without errors or even warnings: int main(){ <:]{%>; // smile! } Live example. What does the program do, and what is that smiley-expression?

 
That's awful, haha.
 
It doesn't need to be.
 
Oh, it's actually a real question.
 
The OP and the 2nd top answer (as well as all the deleted ones) are all from the C++ room.
 
@Mysticial: I think it is a real question
Some fruit questions are actually quite good, but some really takes it too far and it becomes silly
 
1:35 AM
It's a real question in that it stands alone. But the OP knew the answer ahead of time, it was contrived for the purpose of April Fools. I played along and upvoted all of it. :)
 
Most of our questions real questions, so there wasn't anything non-constructive about it. Ideally all of them would have been but a few of them weren't. Those are already closed and the worst of them are going to be deleted.
 
@nhahtdh And also the only one of two questions I could answer. (Jon Lin out-FGITW'ed me from the other one.)
 
I think anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3193/… is answerable, if we consider how different people have different order eating their food. Just that it will end up being a psychological question rather than an anime one
By the way, my question anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3202/… is answerable - if you want to grab some easy rep, just spend 15 minutes googling
 
1:51 AM
@nhahtdh If you know the answers feel free to answer the question yourself. I don't care enough about rep to Google for the answers, and there's at least one that I'm not sure what it's referencing.
I'm basically passing out from no sleep for 2 nights, and I don't think I'm going to be able to think seriously until I do, so I'm heading out for the night. See you guys later.
 
@LoganM Sleep tight.
 
night
 
Before I leave, is there anything I need to do with regards to ?
 
@LoganM Eat all the fruits. I looked at the meta post and it looks like it's been (generally) handled.
 
Okay. I edited the one obvious one of my posts, but if any of the others need editing I'll do it tomorrow.
'night all
 
2:22 AM
Haha, I found this question asked long before I joined SO and left a comment:
@Cinnamon I came across this question while searching for links from SO to my website. I joined SO quite a while after this question was asked and I thought I'd leave a comment confirming that the Binary Splitting approach is in fact the key algorithm. It reduces the computational complexity of summing the series from polynomial to quasi-linear. — Mysticial 51 secs ago
Now I should get back to my thesis... lol
 
@Mysticial Good idea. :)
 
I found that question while searching for posts that link to my website. I found 10 of them, 4 of them not my own posts.

Q: Tired of serverfault moderators

PatI really think you guys should rethink the moderator thing at Serverfault... Lately I've been suffering them a lot; they just got me tired... (fortunately it's only Serverfault; I haven't had issues with moderators from other sites) They act like a gang, if you have a problem with one, expect m...

^^ Might be a good read if you wanna see a spammer get crushed.
 
What a lovable little punk. xD
 
I'm going to clean up the questions now, anyone to say anything before I take action?
 
2:38 AM
@Krazer You're going to act as outlined in the meta thread as of now?
 
Yes we can discuss if we want to remove all the closed ones afterwards
 
Alright, then proceed. We can bring that topic up at the chat cast if necessary.
 
This is about deletion right?
 
unless anyone has any objections
 
AFAICT, all the ones that should be closed are already closed.
 
2:39 AM
some are just bad and should be deleted... like:

Q: Who is this character hugging an apple?

EricThere appears to be a character hugging this apple. Is Sasori the name of this character, or does it have another meaning? What anime is this character from?

 
Yup. xD
 
Logan seems against keeping them around for 60 days.
One thing we can try is to delete them now. Then after 60 days, undelete and redelete.
I wonder if that will restore the rep.
 
... lol.
 
I've only marked 3 questions for deletion here:

Q: 'Fruits' questions that need to be closed or deleted

KrazerBefore the closing of this fine First of April, there are a few fruits questions that have been deemed sub-par and will likely result in closure or deletion (typically the former to allow people to retain their rep). The following questions will be closed or deleted: #Question 1: List of ani...

 
The way I kinda look at the rep is: It was gained from a joke; should we care about people keeping that rep?
I mean, some people get to (cite: C++ question). But is it something we should be preoccupied with?
 
2:45 AM
Waiting...
 
Wait!
Okay, go ahead.
I just needed to get the URL list
 
Arming fruit lazers
 
Wouldn't a locust swarm be good enough?
 
@Mysticial lol
 
FRONT PAGE SPAM!!! I should flag @Krazer for moderator attention!
 
2:50 AM
@Mysticial I'll suspend him once I'm done with these tags!
 
xD
 
:)
 
@Mysticial Should we be editing questions which have a single typo in the title?
I've mostly been going with edits that make sense with SEO, but it's worth asking.
 
@Eric Go for it.
 
kk, thanks
 
3:20 AM
YES!
We're back up to 89% answered.
:D

Q: April Fools 2013

EricAs many of you may (or may not) know, shortly before April Fools' day, we decided that fruit was fantastic and that we should spend the day asking as many fruit-related questions as possible, with loosened bounds on what was, and was not, allowed. The result is 24 questions (rivaling, at the tim...

 
3:53 AM
oh noes our views dropped.
 
Yup. :(
Uh oh! I'm not supposed to be here!

Q: Tomiko's "new exercise" for Saki

Arturia PendragonShortly after Tomiko defended Saki in court, Tomiko escorted Saki to the pier where she would set off. Tomiko mentioned that after Saki's return, she would be given a "new exercise" for her Cantus, which allegedly would be more interesting than routine classroom exercises. What was that exercise?

Q: Did Saki become Head of the Ethics Committee?

atlantizaWhen Saki was younger, Tomiko (Head of the Ethics Committee while Saki is growing up) told her that she should become the new Head of the Ethics Committee since she is the most fit for the position in the village. Saki was even already learning the basics of Tomiko's technique to extend her life ...

@Krazer I think you should be able to destroy tags without bumping all of the questions.
 
@LoganM I think that's a community manager ability.
 
@Mysticial Seems like you're right about that based on MSO. Though it's a bit annoying that we can't do it ourselves.
 
5:41 PM
@Eric KLU just got 4 commits in a matter of 4 hours. I got a grassroots badge out of it and we're at the top of the hot proposals list.
(one of them claims to be a lizard)
 
ahahaha our lizard mod followed it?
 
5:55 PM
@LoganM Awesome! I wonder where they came from?
 
6:18 PM
@Eric you can see them in the recent followers section

Q: Why are there only 2 (known) paralell universes in DragonBall

Sam I amIn the andrioids/cell saga, when Trunks traveled back in time, he changed history and created a parallel universe. but Cell also traveled back in time, and apparently arrived before trunks, and was responsible for changes in history too. One would think that Trunks would arrive in a parallel ...

 
what's with @Sakamoto? Always asking questions... XD
 
@Sakamoto I don't completely understand this one, but I edited the title to make more sense.
 
7:28 PM
Gentleman and Lizards, I present to you "The Gathering 2013": imgur.com/a/UULdF
It's the second largest LAN-party in the world only the DreamHack in Sweden is bigger. Their site: gathering.org/tg13/en
 
@Krazer I was gonna ask you what it is :P
@Krazer lol, your correction was recorrected
 
@Krazer holy shit...
 
@Krazer Awesome
 
7:50 PM
@Krazer Title edited back, complete with the original "paralell" misspelling.
 
8:07 PM
@LoganM I don't even...
in other news, they found the gate to hell webpronews.com/…
these would makes some awesome profile pics: imgur.com/a/uujto
 
8:26 PM
@Krazer agreed
 
8:39 PM
for those of you who don't know it, here's the llama song: albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama
 
nooooo it's in flash~
 
@Krazer you can't see it?
here's the youtube version
 
@JNat I've seen it xD
 
@Krazer isn't it wonderful? XD
 
yes xD
 
8:59 PM
Sakamoto should soon ask about himself.
 
@Eric lol, nice
 
Watch, you'll see. :P
... Someday...
 
@Eric lol

Q: Why were Youko's friends added to the anime?

DanalogI was reading that Sugimoto only had a bit part in the Twelve Kingdoms manga, and Asano didn't even exist. Is there any explanation as to why they were added to the anime? Sugimoto has a pretty big role in the anime, but Asano felt pretty pointless. Were they just added to give Youko somebody ...

Q: Did Sakamoto really write in cursive?

Logan MAt the end of the translated version of the first chapter of Sakamoto Desu Ga?, Sakamoto agrees to write a report, provided he can write it "in cursive": Given that the manga is set in Japan, I assume the report will be in Japanese. However, I'm not exactly sure what is meant by cursive Japane...

Wow.
39 and 37 minutes respectively.
That's a record.
 
9:31 PM
Dammit @Krazer!
My manga is still downloading, so you beat me. :(
 
@Eric I downloaded it weeks ago so I could read the rest of the chapters.
 
lol
It's 103.7MB, tho, and I still have 2 mins left on the download. Sadface.
 
I already had it downloaded, but I didn't bother to check. Easier to ask here plus I get the rep and I created the tag.
 
Quick, someone ask 81 questions.
 
@Eric Why 81?
 
9:38 PM
We have 919 right now.
 
@Eric answers, not questions
 
Er. I meant 81 answers.
Brain is malfunctioning today.
 
@Eric We have 919 answers, not questions.
 
Though, hell. 81 questions would be awesome, too.
 
@Eric word
lol
 
9:39 PM
We'd be up to 13.0 Q/D.
:D
 
@Eric darn I thought we were gonna play 81 questions
 
9:54 PM
@Krazer lol
Should we? xD
 
@Eric only if you finished your homework
 
@Krazer Blargh. I have homework, but it's due next week. :P
 
@Eric get it done now so you can play~
unless it's a paper
 
lol
 
then hold off until the last possible moment
 
9:56 PM
One's a compiler, the other will take me a few hours, at least.
 
what do you mean your homework is a compiler?
 
I have to write a compiler.
 
@Eric do pascal!
or brainfuck
 
Brainfuck would have been so fun.
But easy as hell, lol.
 
or hq9+
 
10:00 PM
OMG YES!
 
@Eric I will eagerly await this.
 
If I was your professor I'd assign Befunge.
 
@LoganM That sounds awful. It sounds like parsing spaghetti.
'Kay, this is hurting my brain.
No more Befunge.
 
@Eric Malbolge is harder to write in, but easier to compile.
 
My brain.
I think I'll write a LOLCODE compiler.
 
11:10 PM
I'd like to see a Eric compiler, that compiles Eric visually
 
@Krazer I don't know how I'd bugtest that.
 
@Eric Eric has no bugs. Only features.
 
lol.. But what about the compiler? :P
If it doesn't compile me properly, I will have bugs!
 
11:28 PM
@Eric The compiler can only add features.
 
@Krazer That's an awesome compiler, then.
 
There are no bugs. Only features.
 
Unlike in OAuth.
OAuth 2.0 is potentially the worst thing I've ever used for anything ever.
