Q: Why are child pilots used in the first place?

About midway through Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, Kaji notes that the dummy plug system being introduced is considered more humane than the use of children, after Misato tells him that she distrusts it. But this raises the question: why are children even used as EVA pilots in the first ...

@Morwenn It was blocked at the school I worked for mandatory service. Apparently, it was regarded as "obscene, violent and pornographic" by the ministry of education. So kids, don't look it up and learn from it.

Darjeeling

Recommendations are not allowed here anymore; other than that, your question is just too broad - there can be hundreds of anime that you can "start with" (assuming all other anime are not suitable for "starting"). I recommend you check out this post. — Gallifreyan 36 mins ago

we never allowed it iirc

Gao

The new SE top bar is one step forward and two steps back

Now it takes one more click to get to the review page

and the icons don't auto drop down list anymore when you move through them

Darjeeling

but it's easier to see tools now

Gao

still same number of clicks

and it's not like many people see it anyway

iirc you need 4000 reps

Darjeeling

ehh, I don't know, I never really saw tools before, might be wrong tho

Dimitri mx

06:41

tools was hidden away fairly well in the old design

believe it took 3 clicks to get to it

Gao

two: first click review, then click tools

the old link is still there, they just added another shortcut

i believe someone here has mentioned it before: two SE logos, each at one end of the top bar?

man, Workplace.SE is so ruthless at deleting comments

got my upvoted, informational comment removed without notice and without adding into my post

Almost weekend... On fridays I always get a message that says "Go home!" :D

I am so looking forward for not doing anything tomorrow

Morwenn

But what will you be doing when you won't be doing anything anymore?

Toshinou Kyouko

Hello

@Martin-マーチン stuff dealer? :o

Martin - マーチン

Eating, sleeping, watching TV... it's something that's right, but not really something that amounts to anything

Morwenn

I'm often split between lazing all day long and actually doing stuff on weekends

I like actually doing stuff, but I don't always have occasions, and doing stuff often makes me tired :/

Martin - マーチン

@ToshinouKyouko Yeah, I didn't know how to describe it. Basically a comic book store with a lot of merchandise. You might know the chain: Animate.

Toshinou Kyouko

09:05

ahhh

I do

Martin - マーチン

It has been raining since last night, and it doesnt seem to end until tomorrow night... so staying in is the sane option.

Last weekend I went to the bottom of Fuji-san, so my activity quota is still a bit full :D

Morwenn

I'll probably go see my grand-mother during the weekend, and maybe try to go to the pub too ^^

Avery

Someone is reading this (nsfw description of a hentai, no nsfw imagery) in class. Ugh.

Martin - マーチン

09:22

Hmmm, I always found it very funny when people went to classes and then did something completely different. Why not stay at home? Or do you have to be there?

Dimitri mx

We had people playing eroge's at school when attendance was mandatory.

I usually just brought a pillow ;)

Darjeeling

hug pillow?

Morwenn

I played Pokémon and Metroid on a GBA emulator when attendance was mandatory

Darjeeling

I paid attention to the class when attendance was mandatory

seems like no one did that

Morwenn

Depends on the classes actually

Toshinou Kyouko

09:34

I have many doodles

Morwenn

There were some programming classes where I didn't need to follow the class

Dimitri mx

I remember a mandatory attendance class, where they teached you how to write a hello world in c#... In the 4th year of a programing study...

They just jammed 2 years worth of Unreal and Unity3d development into us. And come with that xd

Morwenn

wtf

Sometimes programs don't make sense ^^'

Dimitri mx

quite often even.

Darjeeling

I remember there was one class that actually teach you that mouse is an input device used to manipulate objects on your computer screen. Then they teach you how to make a new folder, how to type and stuff. In the 1st year of a programing study.

Martin - マーチン

09:42

hihi how awesome is that :D

Our maths teacher actually said: There is no reason for you to be here, I'm just going to tell you about stuff that is at least a century old. Grab a book and learn at your own pace. And then he handed out the syllabus... his exams though were very hard, especially when you didn't follow the class.

Morwenn

The tricky part about maths is that sometimes you need it

Taisho

Martin - マーチン

yeah, that's true. I use it every day now.

@Darjeeling lol yes i didnt

@ToshinouKyouko show me what u got

@Gao post it again and complain, that's what I see people do all the time :p

people like to comment crap on workplace

mods have learned not to pay attention

if something needs adding, people will re-comment it back

still, "comments are temporary and can be deleted at any moment, please add really useful information into the posts"

do a suggested edit maybe

if you feel it

@Gallifreyan I don't think we allowed them ever, but maybe only when asking where to start in a huge mesh of related works like fate/whatevs

Coldfire uses stock photo for an avatar :p

Cold Fire

yup

Hakase

you can cut teh white part and save it as a gif with transparency, and it'll work that way

pngs with transparency will get white bg

gifs are fine

@milleniumbug you can also do the gif transparency thingie, your avatar could look cooler on dark backgrounds

Morwenn

GeoTIFF master race

Hakase

don't think imgur supports that

or gravatar

Toshinou Kyouko

@Hakase i dont have one handy unfortunately

Morwenn

10:02

@Hakase I don't think either :/

Hakase

@Darjeeling our vice-principal in high school taught us how to do the advanced ms word shit like dotted spacings for table of contents, custom arbitrary intervals and page headers/footers

@Martin-マーチン math used to be so hardcore here just 30 years ago, and now nobody cares

our university professors for math were those hardcore old dudes and they had no mercy for us

thankfully something happened when the uni board saw our average scores and phased them out from our faculty in favor of a much friendlier, yet even older guy

Martin - マーチン

yeah, heard that a lot.

Hakase

apparently he was old and wise enough to know that what those hardcore dudes were trying to teach us isn't gonna be used by anyone in our group, and he just memed us up every class with his old school humor. Such a sweet guy

Martin - マーチン

I studied chemistry and not everywhere you need the hardcore math... at one point the university decided to hire an external teacher from a school to do the maths courses because scores were seriously in the gutter

Hakase

our dudes were apparently from a nearby math/tech uni which makes sense, but didn't make sense why they wouldn't ease up on us, coz we were in IT/economics

Martin - マーチン

10:10

and people were set back a semester or two just they couldn't pass the basic maths test. Even after lowering the pass barrier to 35% less then half of us would pass

Hakase

we all cheated like madmen

Morwenn

I've been bad at maths for my latest 7 years in school

Hakase

some even used the hidden earphone to whisper to the secret agent in the next room with textbooks

Morwenn

And I regularly have troubles nowadays when people ask me to code math stuff :/

Martin - マーチン

I had an economics teacher who used to be a mathematician. You should have seen the look on the faces of the students when she started doing microeconomics with differentials and integrals

milleniumbug

10:11

@Hakase found a person with a dark userstyle :P

Martin - マーチン

that was a brilliant joke though :D

Morwenn

@Martin-マーチン Uuuuh, integrals

Hakase

@milleniumbug no I mean in other char rooms perhaps, or just on the bottom left of the page, where your bigger avatar is

I tried a style once, it was too weird

now I prefer the beta blue theme

Morwenn

Every single year I had to learn again and again how to do an integration by parts, and forgot weeks later x)

Martin - マーチン

One of my friends studied maths, he used to say: Differentiation is work; integration is art.

Hakase

10:13

I remember we spent a whole hour figuring out the problem with 90%/10% glasses

Martin - マーチン

don't know that problem

milleniumbug

@Hakase I don't mind the white bg, but I never checked how it would look with a transparent one so I'll check

Hakase

goes like this: 2 glasses, 2 different liquids, non-soluble. Pour 10% from one into the other, mix until it's homogenous, pour back 10% of the new liquid. How much of each liquid is in each glass?

I don't remember for sure but I think it was 90% original /10% from the other glass in both

Martin - マーチン

ah... that one

Avery

@Morwenn I may or may not be repairing my NDS for that same reason

(battery will arrive in 15 mins and it'll be perfect)

Hakase

10:15

teach was legit angry at us for not understanding how it works

Morwenn

@Avery Go for it, it's worth it :D

Hakase

and we legit couldn't understand it ourselves for a long time

Morwenn

Now I want to play Layton again

Avery

(I replaced all of the outer shell, buttons, mobo, upper screen's protector etc)

milleniumbug

almost like getting a new one :)

Taisho

10:16

Morwenn

Is there any original part left?

Hakase

@Morwenn "hey, come do math!" the answer is always no thanks

milleniumbug

math, not even once

Avery

@Morwenn yes, some of screws, the screens, bottom screen's protector, microphone and wifi antenna

also r4.

Hakase

@Martin-マーチン our profs loved to integrate shit, and would do 4-5-6-7 integrations on a single thing until it didn't resemble anything

Morwenn

10:17

@Hakase My answer is often "of course, I like creating technical debt faster than fixing bugs"

Hakase

and yet the answer was exactly that at the end of the textbook!

Morwenn

@Avery Great :D

Hakase

but only about 70% of the time

Morwenn

wow

Hakase

the rest of the time teach just said "eeh, there's probably a mistake somewhere in the calculations or the answer"

everybody was like "nah fuck this" and we just sat and watched him/her integrate 7 times over, with only the most diligent and dutiful students copying down her writing into the notes

Martin - マーチン

10:19

haha... I had a maths book with pre-solved intergrals on yellow pages. It's been the yellow pages for all of us :D

Hakase

to this day I think that was the biggest waste of our attendance time

Morwenn

^^'

Martin - マーチン

yeah that doesn't sound very productive

Hakase

at least the grey old grandpas told us some interesting factoids about how the first computers used to work in the 70's

Morwenn

By the end of my scholarships, I kind of felt that lost in pretty much every class

Hakase

10:20

one old lady showed us her hand-knit array of ram for 256 bits

Morwenn

A facade is just a factoid in the category of endofactors

milleniumbug

:D

Hakase

it was kinda like this upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/…

Morwenn

:o

Hakase

she told us a story about how she was on an exam and her prof gave her some of that ram to connect to a computer wardrobe to solve some problem on assembly, and it didn't have enough ram, so she knit some more ferrite rings onto it and only then it worked

Martin - マーチン

10:24

O.O

Hakase

lots of other students didn't figure that out and prof then explained the purpose of the exam was to show how real life collides with what you get

sometimes you gotta change the things, you don't just take what's there

Martin - マーチン

kobayashi maru

Hakase

there were a couple other interesting stories, but this one tops them all

we had a .net programmer guy who decided to do part-time c# classes for us and it was visibly awkward for him coz we were just a few years younger than him but nobody knew shit about programming except like 4 guys out of 60 people

part of the class was for some reason delphi/basic

I had a windows mobile 6.1 phone then and managed to install pocket dos and a basic editor/compiler on it

640x480 display, fit just perfectly on a 3.5" screen

when it was time for the exam I decided to be a smartass and "cheat" by coding the assigned program on the phone, he saw it and said "juuust put it away, I know you know it all"

honestly that wasn't worth it

I should've gotten a different phone :p

but it was an interesting experience − a phone with a mobile windows os

Martin - マーチン

when was that?

Hakase

6 years ago I think

maybe 7

and now some kobayashi:

I think back then I still used a dumb phone...

Hakase

I bought a dumb phone after that one's battery could only hold 15 minutes

and used it for 3 more years until that phone couldn't hold more than 10 minutes

Martin - マーチン

haha... i was very tempted to buy the revamped nokia when they released it last year

but I'm not using the phone ability of the phone much anymore

Hakase

and before those two I had 2 more phones which also worked for about 4-5 years until their battery reduced in capacity to minutes

Taisho

Hakase

but 3 years ago I bought a mid-tier htc smartphone with a large-ish screen which can hold charge for 10 days if I don't use any internet, which is fucking incredible I must say

coz before I used to have to charge my phones all day every day and they all had their own charger port

Avery

10:35

niice

Hakase

and could hold max 3 days

my main problem with dumb phones is that they for some weird reason limit the length of contact names

like I wanna have a guy with a full name and add a comment about who he is and where he works, for work purposes

dumb phones only allow like 18-25 characters max

Avery

I want to buy that fidget spinner phone

Hakase

that's not acceptable at all

that too :p

Avery

Hakase

remember watches with built-in phones?

Avery

10:38

now we have fidget spinners with phones

Hakase

peeky boi! ur back!

dat bangstache

Martin - マーチン

@Avery now make it charge while spinning!

Hakase

@Martin-マーチン duuuude

but I guess if you add some magnet and a circuit, it would slow down the spinning noticeably

you know what?

Martin - マーチン

Think 2018, it's just around the corner

Hakase

ask on electrical engineering

you'll get into hot questions top

give them some specs like the width of the middle part of the phone

find the weight, the average spinning rpms

and it'll be a good q and farm you lots of rep

also if it really takes off, you might see it on reddit in the next few days as "some engineers decided to find out how fast you can charge a phone by spinning it"

theoretically if you build a loop into the edges of a phone and spin it on top of a large magnet, it'll be like wireless charging, except you'll have to spin it

it's like the bicycle dynamo generator, but you're not spinning the wheel, you're spinning the phone itself

I guess they correlate them to the number of male/female users who also liked them/retwitted and determine my gender based on it.

the code is so messy tho

I designed it to be work with hot-swappable dlls but never really used that feature

well, it's not that messy, it's actually pretty clean

but if I were to refactor it, I'd just shove it all into the main app, no dlls

no interfaces

that'd probably reduce the codebase by half
