The 2nd Monitor

Q: constexpr Sin Function C++ 14

@N3buchadnezzar 'nighty night!

I must say that The 2nd Monitor, in my opinion, is an exceptionally good room. I don't recall ever seeing someone banned or the room frozen in the 2 years I've been here.

Q: PigDice game in C#

In the C# Player's Guide book there's a challenge in which you have to write the PigDice game in C#: It's a multiplayer game, every player starts with score 0. Player X rolls 2 dice. Player X's score is increased by the sum of the 2 dice' numbers. If Player X gets 1 on either die, hi...

I have written a constexpr sin function using c++14 and would like to know what I can do to improve it. I am trying to balance code clarity/maintainability with performance. My goal was to have every part of the algorithm that does not depend on a run-time parameter be evaluated at compile time. ...

I think it was frozen just once in the time I've been here.

At one point, rolfl banned a couple people temporarily.

@Phrancis It has been frozen.

And he froze the entire room once.

Q: How much idle chatter do we tolerate in The 2nd Monitor?

Related but not a duplicate: How far off-topic can we get in 'the 2nd monitor'? Today was a complicated day in the history of The 2nd Monitor. On one side there appears to be consensus something went wrong which should be handled. On the other side there appears to be disagreement about how muc...

Exactly one year ago.

There was a massive fight with a brain-dead troll, people kept putting their oars in, and everyone got kicked so it was just him and the troll, then the room was frozen.

@Mast wow, that has exactly been a year, I do recall this series of incidents

Sorry, I didn't mean to stir it back up

I don't recall being that bad when I read monkey's answer, I just hope it has been much better lately.

I'm probably the worst one when I'm here now.

@Mast There have been very few incidents since, I can only recall one other but that was a completely different situation

I believe this technology is a RESPONSIBILITY, not just a privilege. We have an obligation to use it responsibly in a way which improves our relationships to each other, not creates another environment for us to behave badly in.

Lots of good things said in the town hall, this one post stood out to me

I still have nightmares about just how bad some IRC channels were, way back when

@Shog9 IMO, at least the main chatroom for a site should always be welcoming. If you allow main chatrooms to be too insular, the natural next step is to allow the site itself to be too insular. Making new users feel unwelcome isn't something anyone should be doing.

Agreed. I strongly disagree with Shog there. You should not have the choice to make a main chat insular.
