Q: What's the reason behind Sidonia no Kishi's 256 frame formation?

In episode five or six of Sidonia no Kishi, Tanikaze and Shizuka were rescued by their fellow knights against orders of the captain. The rescuers adopted a 256 Gardes formation traveling to and from the protagonist's location. Is the scientific reason behind this peculiar formation and why 256 fr...

@ton 10? I'll hijack your Prius at 9~

@ton.yeung Wait, you drive a Prius too?

@ton.yeung I drive a Prius IV, apparently.

Or III.

I can't tell the difference.

@ton.yeung Sunroof?

I wish I had a sunroof.

@ton.yeung Probably.

@ton.yeung It would come in handy whenever I decide to go stargazing.

Speaking of, we should have a star party some time.

I need to find a good location.

@ton.yeung Park it off to the side and watch stars from inside the car.

@ton.yeung All of West Texas is great.

The only problem is the drivetime.

The area around the Davis Mountains is especially breathtaking.

Davis Mountains

The Davis Mountains, originally known as Limpia Mountains, are a range of mountains in West Texas, located near Fort Davis, after which they are named. They are a popular site for camping and hiking and the region includes Fort Davis National Historic Site and Davis Mountains State Park. The historical and architectural value of the fort, along with the rugged natural beauty of the park are a significant destination for tourism in Texas. == Origin and geology == The mountains are of volcanic origin composed of strata associated with eruptions of the Trans-Pecos Texas volcanic field 35 million years...

@Eric hah see everyone drives a Prius

Yuuki

@ton.yeung It's a great view though.

Not just the night sky but some of the mountain scenes are just gorgeous.

Q: Are there any prominent non-fan dubs of "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" in other languages?

Remembering that there was a dubbed version of one of the OP's from the 2003 FMA in Cantonese, that seems to have been popular in Hong Kong (judging from YouTube), I wanted to know if there was anything similar for NGE's "A Cruel Angel's Thesis". I found this song on YouTube - there was at least...

@ton.yeung It's more the fact that they're actually discussing it.

@ton.yeung I'll bring my own and tooth paste

On another note, I'm offering free resume formatting and writings services to all those interested. I'll look over and help you reformat your current word resume. If you would like a customized PDF version (and business cards), I can do it for a negotiable fee.

(only caveat is that I'm not redoing all of your job descriptions, but I'll tell you what you can to do with them)

Yuuki

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Can you redo my job for me? </joking>

@ton.yeung 'Kay.

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@Yuuki yes </serious>

Yuuki

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ If you could just teach me how to feel more confident about my abilities, that'd be great.

I'm terrified that I'm going to bomb this interview.

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

as a matter of fact, I do offer that service

Yuuki

Or just how to better quantify my skills.

Because I don't even know if I'm "entry-level".

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

04:59

via skype or hangout

@Yuuki tip number one: stop underestimating yourself, everyone starts somewhere

tip number two: you gotta want it or something else is going to take it

Yuuki

I always have this sinking feeling that I don't know jack and that anyone with a passing comprehension of English and Google could replace me.

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

tip number three: don't be afraid to say that you don't know, it's better to not know and ask for help, than to mess things up and tell no one that you need help

@ton.yeung Did you mean LOLIS?

Yuuki

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Yeah, but then I'm always worried about the tipping point where someone just says, "You've asked for help so many times, why did we even hire you? It's like you know nothing."

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

Interview tip one: Do some breathing exercises before the interview to calm yourself

@Yuuki this would be a valid case if you were an experience hire, but since you're not, asking question is expected

typically if they ask you where do you see yourself in 5/10 years, it's just a time filler. Snap back at them by telling them rather than focusing on where I would be in the future, I should be focusing on what I can get done here and now.

as for your greatest weakness soft spots question it requires a degree of amplitude to navigate, everyone has weaknesses, but if you know them and can cover them, it can be made into a strength. basically knowing the areas where you are deficient will help you cover and overcome them

Yuuki

Should I say that it's probably my self-esteem? Because it feels like it's my self-esteem.

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

05:08

@Yuuki last point: Don't believe in yourself, believe in the me that believes in you

2

Yuuki

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Y'know, I always got hung up on the first part of that phrase. Why would you tell someone to not believe in themselves?

That feels kinda counter-productive.

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@ton.yeung things change and circumstances change, even the best laid plans of mice and men often go a rye.

Yuuki

I mean, "Believe in yourself, believe in the me that believes in you.", doesn't feel wrong, per say.

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

plan as we like for the future, but what tomorrow brings is anyone's guess

Yuuki

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I think it's "aw'ry".

Pronounced the same way though.

Whoo, remembering stuff from 8th grade English!

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

05:12

@Yuuki awry actually, my computer is chugging to much

@Yuuki basically if you just believe in yourself, you're alone with only yourself to rely on, if you have others that believe in you, you have others to rely on when you need it

@ton.yeung who is? I want to look at their linkedin

Yuuki

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Why not both?

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

Yuuki

I have a Facebook, I just don't use it. Haven't touched it in years.

that's a poor choice for someone that's making the decisions

@ton.yeung don't you have two?

@ton.yeung why not a husky?

I'd rather train a savanna cat to guard

Yuuki

05:40

@ton.yeung How are your dogs with other dogs?

Hakase

@Yuuki if they ever say that respond with "lol would you rather me make all the important decisions myself? Is that what you want?" They probably don't want that, whoever they are and whatever you're doing, I haven't really read the rest of the chat this morning >.>

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ that phrase alone is what makes the series worth watching

How about a dog park? Never been to one of those before.

On second thought, probably not then.

Julie's never interacted with more one or two dogs at a time.

@ton.yeung We're not sure. She seems to be a chihuahua mix or something.

But she's not aggressive at all.

She's mostly passive and kinda lazy.

Kinda like a cat.

@ton.yeung She's pretty small, we haven't found a lap she hasn't fit in yet.

Q: Why was the framerate so low in the first episode of Sidonia?

I only watched the first episode of Knights of Sidonia, and the main reason I dropped it was that the CG ran at an unbearably low framerate.

@nhahtdh OK fine. I won't ask it

Why is acceptable, providing it is a valid concern (instead of the mangaka going on break for a month, and announced publicly)

Madara Uchiha

@nhahtdh What's wrong with asking Why even if the mangaka went on for a break for a month and announced publicly?

nhahtdh

Well, if they stated the reason already, then I think there is no point

Madara Uchiha

@nhahtdh And how would asker know that they stated the reason?

JNat

@nhahtdh Then most questions here would have no point, since their answer can be found elsewhere
