Is there a way to get the <Let's continue this discussion in chat> without the comment count going over the threshold

or should I just create a room myself and invite that user there

@NiharKarve there's no way, no

@ACuriousMind Look at mister ontology here

He has a device to measure realness

the realometer was a major breakthrough in my life, yes

The Humeometer

scpwiki.com/and-this-one-explains-humes

hm, I'd argue with you about it, but the device says you're not real, what a shame

oh god I'm not real either - brb after existential crisis

Reality is overrated

I worked long and hard to construct the fantasy world in which I live, and I'm not going to give it up without a fight.

Love isn't real and neither are perturbative expansions

what?! there's some guy who's upvoted 140+ posts on meta this week alone

that's insane

On my recent , there were two answers I got. Both of them explained my answers nicely. Then , why is it that we don’t have option to accept two answers. I mean , if someone checks the tick answer only. That is really bad for the one who gave the answer but didn’t get a tick right.

recent post I meant

You tick the one that you think provides the best answer. An upvote is only worth 15 rep, you're not going to ruin someone's life by picking another answer.

@Charlie (typo) accept=15 rep, upvote=10 rep

oops, yep

@user102532 there should be no checkbox, it's another structural tool that discourages multiple answers giving different perspectives

hi all

by clicking the "tab" key, we can indent a block of code, 1 space to the right

is there a way to indent it 1 space to the left ?

@user102532 Our meta has lots of questions about accepted answers, but in the end the reason is just history and the primacy of StackOverflow:

It's an open secret that almost all SE features are developed primarily for SO and its sibling sites. On these sites, questions are often of the form "How do I solve this technical problem I'm having?" and the asker accepts the answer that actually solved their problem. This doesn't make sense on more knowledge-oriented sites like ours because the asker usually has no practical problem they can "test" the answer against.

But still we have accept marks because we run on the same software as SO, and requests to customize this per site haven't really gotten anywhere (I recall at least one of these on mother meta but I can't find it right now)

@satan29 It's Shift+Tab in many editors

@satan29 in vscode it's ctrl+[

shift + tab worked in Vscode..

yep, turns out tab/shift+tab and ctrl+]/ctrl+[ are synonyms in vscode

@Charlie you are right.It’s just 15 reputation

but is that all what you want from a tick

When I give an answer to someone , it is very important for me that he understood

I spend more time in chat with him and finally make him understand

My answer is as equal to others ticks as well

So , if someone has spent their time in reading the question and then answering it.I think we should have multiple ticks option

That way , probably the user can also give suggestions why he didn’t accept it as tick.

As ACuriousMind said above, it's not really up to us especially as the Physics stackexchange makes up a small minority of the userbase of stackexchange in general, the single tick make more sense on SE sites like stackoverflow

So , another option which will be same for all but not tick , just some other option, which accepts the answer.That also makes them feel satisfied

What you're saying might be a good idea, but it would be a pretty significant change from how the site has always operated, and if it's just in the interest of making people feel better about missing out on 15 reputation, I'd say it's unlikely to change anytime

@Charlie ok . I accept curious minds answer

How to draw the first derivative curve from the previous graph

I would personally prefer that there just wouldn't be any "accept" feature

..but unfortunately that would have to be a SE-wide change, right?

yes, which is why I have no hope we'd ever get there

I also suspect we'd not find consensus on our meta that it should be removed in the first place

many people consider helping the asker specifically a primary purpose of their answers, and getting the accept mark is the sign that they've done so

@ACuriousMind I do accept it.Ok then let it be as it is then

@ACuriousMind what job do you have apart from stack exchange as a moderator.

@user102532 Being a moderator is an unpaid volunteer position, not a job :P In my actual job I'm a software engineer for SAP, as my main site profile says.

Ok.Great

Hello guys

Guys.Don’t you think that physics stack exchange chat room has significantly less members.So I am saying it since if you look at the population of whole globe.It looks like not very much people know about this site.isn’t it

Significantly less members than what?

Than population of world

or population of online users

Not much are present in chat rooms but yes there are some more on the sites asking questions

@Charlie

I guess so

I think it is just tooo less

Most people aren't interested in reading a physics website, and most of these in turn don't want to or don't have the time to hang around random chatrooms associated to that website. What's your point?

@ACuriousMind so my point is . That out of a population of a billion users, we are only almost 10 present in chat rooms. Also , students who are 16 and 17 in India who choose science field

Most of them will be interested in chat rooms

plenty of other places on the 'net where you can chat

@ACuriousMind Even I didn’t knew about this site unless I searched a lot of questions

yes@ACuriousMind

just think of it in a normal way

this chatroom's population is really "people who found physics.SE interesting, then accidentally discovered its chatroom, then decided they liked the weirdos around here enough to stay"

(also not everyone leads the kind of life where they have time to spend hanging around chats :P)

@user102532 ...uh, I was not under the impression that I think about things in an abnormal way?

@user102532 where are you pulling "a billion users" from?

@ACuriousMind sorry to say that.I didn’t mean in an abnormal may to you. Just that like we have Instagram over million followers. Then , considering many users on this site.Not much are interested in chat rooms.

also by billions I meant was that there must be at least 3-4 billions of people having internet. Out of that , probably a 100 million or more interested in science. But only almost a amount of 10K discover it and 10 stay in this chat room

so it’s just a very different feeling

I hope you got my point.It’s just my feeling I shared actually

It’s like . None of my friends nor my teacher know about stack exchange.that’s like I am one in a 500-600

Around 218,000 people have created an account here, just for reference

What's going on in here?

Skullduggery?

Physics?

bit of one, bit of the other

@DanielSank what is that?

it's the thing where the math is made up and infinities don't matter

>:0

what can I do to make this question more clear

@user102532 not exactly following your point(s) but it looks like a lot of them got deleted...?
