Q: Why did Darkness pick the name darkness?

We understand she's embarrassed about her real name Lalatina and noble status. But was it ever explained how/why she specifically came to choose to go by Darkness of all possible names?

It's almost a crime, you know. Pizza hut shows up in all sorts of anime, starting with Code Geass and Domino's president is a Miku fanboy, but Round Table Pizza? Why can't they see the value in a Fate/Stay license? Is it because it'd actually make sense? v_v

Wow both of my questionnaire suggestion made it

With just 1 vote, maybe because there was not many

This year I am not sure who to vote so questionnaire and meta profile will be a good way to dig

Ankit Sharma

There was deadline for submission and it's over now

Q: Was Archer a sword user first or was he an archer first

The Archer from the FSN series is both a great archer and a great sword/knife user. Since he's Archer, you would think that he was an archer first. however, i have been told that apparently, Archer is the future Shiro. if this is true, since Shiro started to use swords first why was he the Archer...

I do think SE need to make this questionnaire compulsory and give a different window (few days) to answer it and eliminate candidate who failed to answer it in given time

arda

@AnkitSharma +1

Tyhja

@AnkitSharma well, it is most likely that a savvy electorate will leave out a candidate that fails to answer appropriately

Ankit Sharma

@Tyhja Not all voters are that serious

Tyhja

@AnkitSharma i'm not disagreeing, that's why i said a savvy electorate

Ankit Sharma

k

Tyhja

06:33

We can tell from id-reqs that ideals are not applicable in a real world ssetting

ideally we can have well described id-requests which we answer with appropriate responses

:)

Ankit Sharma

@Tyhja Yeah that's why I shifted my full support of ID to complete ridicule of them. I am quite happy that anime achieved to make them off topic.

arda

@Tyhja Before ban, they had rather strict rules

Tyhja

and likewise, a lot of the way SE operates, assumes the best in people

Ankit Sharma

@Tyhja we are still working with strict rule but they don't help that much.

Tyhja

@arda yes i know i was around then

arda

06:38

The ID Reqs were not not answerable, however they used to fill our front/main/whatever page.

Tyhja

@AnkitSharma because it will continue to appear and everyone can keep arguing while they clog up the front page

Ankit Sharma

@arda movies.se still suffering because of it.

arda

I like the way it is right now more, because the allowed questions are the ones that might help more people.

@AnkitSharma also scifi afaik

Ankit Sharma

@arda But there front page is way full with hypothetical question of harry potter that ID is not that much big of issue there. And tehre ID quality is always better then movies and anime SE

Tyhja

movies has 7/14 as id-reqs right now on the front page

arda

06:42

I like the way it is on Arqade, we basically require an image, sound or video and that eliminates most id-reqs :P We rarely get acceptable ones (88 open ones in a site that is 5 years old).

Tyhja

we tried that

doesn't work

arda

@Tyhja yeah, ikno, still used to fill the site

Ankit Sharma

@Tyhja Yeah they make good question get less attention they deserve

arda

I think the final rules were "a) image/video b) if no image: place you saw that, art style, info on plot and estimated year"

Tonepoet

@arda That vaguely defeats the purpose doesn't it? I mean in order to get something like that, you'd almost have to know what it is you're asking for already.

Tyhja

06:45

@Tonepoet oh my, you figured out the plot already!

Tonepoet

@Tyhja I think there should be a class action lawsuit against Arqade for their false advertising. Obviously we're seeking that all of the questions be reopened, with appropriate rep. gains and interest. =P

Tyhja

@Tonepoet heh heh heh

Q: Are Board of Education members immune to Death Feedback?

@Sakamoto for a second there I thought this was academia

arda

@Hakase when will our beloved cat die?

Hakase

that's an interesting "morning" :p

when all interested in its survival parties run out of internet

arda

@Hakase I mean the google's hosting thingy

Hakase

uhhh wut

ah that

supposedly on the 1st

arda

oh crap

Hakase

08:43

but it's supposed to be by US time or something coz google is based there mostly

maybe

arda

can you send me a whole list of links that aren't posted?

Hakase

you don't wanna wait until we find out if it won't work?

Darjeeling

what happen to google?

arda

@Hakase I'd rather download them all in case if it doesn't

better safe than taisho-less

Hakase

long story short: google decided to stop allowing images to be hotlinked like we do here in chat, so we won't be able to use it potentially

the links are supposed to stay available for direct download though

Darjeeling

08:45

D:

why

Hakase

coz it costs them money lol

Dimitri mx

@Hakase What! Monsters!

Hakase

and we're not paying

so unless we start paying there isn't an easy way to fix this problem

I proposed to just use imgur despite the compression and downsizing

Logan estimated about 5% of his images to go beyond imgur's limits

with where others get their images I suspect it's 0%

Dimitri mx

That doesn't sound to bad.

Hakase

so we'll just start feeding him imgur links and that's the fix I guess

arda

08:47

@Hakase as I said, if you can give the links, I can download them and if stuff goes wrong, upload to imgur etc

Hakase

but no more thumbnails/full, there will be just full images versions

Darjeeling

but wasn't Logan says that imgur picture will be deleted after some time?

Hakase

yea that's on an unregistered uploads

if you make an account (as easy as logging in with google or facebook) they should be saved indefinitely

@arda you want everything ever or just the unposted ones?

arda

unposted

everything ever would be easy

Dimitri mx

You can also look into other services @Hakase.

Imgur ain't the only one out there. Some might be more fitted

arda

08:49

@Dimitrimx we did

Hakase

we've already investigated it

Dimitri mx

hm/

arda

no free services other than imgur work easily and as well. But well, we can pay around 10usd for azure storage every year and continue having full & thumbs etc

Hakase

ufile.io/0c032

Darjeeling

so everything should be fine if you have imgur account? so what's the problem then

Hakase

08:51

unposted til now

Dimitri mx

ha, I would almost say, feel free to use my server for it ;/

arda

@Darjeeling downscale

Darjeeling

aha, didn't know that

Hakase

@Dimitrimx problem with people's servers is they're most definitely gonna be slower than google or amazon

Taisho

arda

08:52

@Hakase google costs more than azure (by well, 0.001usd/gb/mo), checking aws

Hakase

and then there's a question of reliability and availability in time worldwide

Dimitri mx

Most definitely. I can vouch for the reliability / availability / time world wide though.

Hakase

also if you have a weak server it's gonna choke every time Taisho posts an image

you could try posting a bunch of images in a row with direct links to files on your server now and see how it performs

Dimitri mx

Used to host several websites on it, and game servers. It's been laying dormant for a while now

arda

amazon costs $0.0300/gb/mo, which is 0.0035 higher than azure and 0.0034 higher than google

Hakase

08:54

I've been hosting shit on this desktop for a while before and let me tell ya it was not the smoothest experience for everyone involved >.>

Dimitri mx

luckily this is a dedicated server ;p

A: Are Board of Education members immune to Death Feedback?

Somehow they've figured out that using additional objects or creatures to carry out the actual killing is a workaround which doesn't trigger the death feedback reaction. I suspect it was made clear at the time the death feedback was invented and introduced to people. There had to be some way to k...

Dimitri mx

But I will give it a test run after work today. If it's up for the load, you are free to use it.

Hakase

can somebody who remembers check out if I remember everything correctly?

maybe I missed something about that death feedback stuff

@Dimitrimx we possibly could, Logan might be interested in uploading his images somewhere in full size and with our thumb/full script support

arda

@Hakase we might open folders and assign users and ftps credential to them (for trusted users ofc)

Hakase

08:58

for uploading hmm it could work

arda

link would be like ip.goe.she.re/logan/someimage.png

Hakase

or we could side-load images via mega or something

arda

@Hakase possible

Hakase

we still got 2-3 days of peace and calmness

arda

I'll set the servers on fire

cc @Hakase

the code, your likely response, your eye bleach

Hakase

you can put disposable objects into a using clause if you wish

I prefer those extra curly braces for clause visibility personally

some people say it's wrong or they don't like it

I'm self-taught also so it's what I do

looks fine to me btw

Memor-X

I AM HALF DEAF!

arda

I could improve it a lot more if I wanted to, hence I said that tbh

in fact challenge accepted

Hakase

oh and with new c# you can write strings like this $"something is {object.property}"

so the parameter indexes don't get confusing

I always hated that

glad they added it

Tyhja

@arda you can use a parser to cast json so no need to parse

well unless its all string

Taisho

10:42

arda

@Hakase I love doing that, but mono doesn't like it

Hakase

you could make a quick string BetweenTheseTwoStrings(input, stringA, stringB)

who's mono

Tyhja

i dont know the performance if contains vs just using the json parser

arda

@Hakase .net framework for linux

Hakase

shouldn't it compile and behave just the same as visual studio?

@Tyhja string operations are always faster

arda

10:43

It does, but C# 6 support is not yet in stable builds afaik (at least in raspi)

Hakase

but they're tedious to write

ah ok

Tyhja

also less robust

Hakase

hey you can code stuff well

you could probably get a job sooner rather than later

I mean if you want

arda

@Hakase I do actually. I'd freelance but paypal got banned from turkey and international money transfer fees are too high

Hakase

definitely look into other methods of money transactions

perhaps go bitcoin

Tyhja

10:45

@arda why did it get banned

Hakase

I wonder what the exchange rates are

Memor-X

@Tyhja because people used it more than their own banks for overseas stuff so they lost money

i don't know really

arda

@Memor-X not really

Hakase

coinbase.com/charts looks stable-ish

arda

@Tyhja apparently for it to be a bank inside turkey, they need to move all user data (inc. non-turkish peoples' data). They were told that they need to either do this or stop operating in Turkey, paypal chose the latter option (which is good for them).

Hakase

10:48

coindesk.com/price same here

seems like a reasonable alternative

arda

cashing out might be the biggest issue

Hakase

I have no experience with bitcoins though

Tyhja

me neither

but we have a bitcoin se iirc

Hakase

idk if you wanna cash out, or maybe only cash a small amount that you need and learn to live with the losses :p

arda

haha I can do most my internet transactions using bitcoin actually

Hakase

10:50

I would definitely look at the top voted SE posts and investigate reddit also before going into that

oh great

arda

I can order a bitcoin debit card from xapo too

Hakase

oh wow

arda

steam and humble bundle supports bıtcoin = I can do %99 of my online purchases with bitcoin

Hakase

this is really looking good all of a sudden

Memor-X

@arda it's missing bacon

Hakase

10:52

you could probably ask around here, I'm sure some guys here must have had experience with bitcoins before

Memor-X

i remember we could buy unicoins with bacon one year

arda

@Memor-X also Yuricoin

Hakase

@Memor-X how were bacon transactions handled?

Memor-X

@arda no, Yuricoins should only be used to buy stuff for your girlfriend

arda

@Memor-X nah, you didn't buy them, you simply bartered with jzy

Memor-X

10:54

@Hakase don't know, kept getting an error when i wanted to buy them

stupid payment gateway

arda

I'm not a console guy

I hate consoles too

Hakase

I don't hate em, I just don't have em :p

I had nothing but a CRT tv to plug em into and they don't support that

now I don't even have that tv anymore

arda

11:00

@Hakase well, I don't really hate them either, but their pricetag of the console and games is usually too high compared to PCs

Hakase

yea

there were also other things but there's too many to list

arda

@ton.yeung western or eastern?

that sounds weird

also chat is about to pass the 32m landmark: this message is 31999616

arda

@ton.yeung nucs are pretty great

@Hakase I found a bitcoin freelance website, some stuff seems shady, but I might consider the less-shady ones

@ton.yeung ah, that.

@ton.yeung that's a huge nuc though

normal nucs are smaller

random image:

@ton.yeung raspi 3

@ton.yeung and much less powerful

@arda perhaps use a normal freelance site and discuss possibility of receiving payment in bitcoins

or just in usd and convert them yourself
