win by default is still a win
@Memor-X who is this? love live?
 
@Darjeeling yeh. Eli x Nozomi
 
3:36 AM
@Memor-X thought you would run
 
@Taisho who
 
@Darjeeling still debating. it a toss up of do i want the extra responsibility that my decisions carry more weight (like deleting and closing) or not

Q: Is the new Ghost In The Shell a composite?

CDspaceInspired by this question: Differences between the Ghost in the Shell anime and Live action I'm wondering if the new movie was meant to be a mash-up of everything in the GITS universe? Details below. I recently watched the new 2017 Ghost In The Shell (Scarlett Johansen), and noticed it started ...

Q: In Gintama, why are the Shinsengumi allowed to have swords?

Akaisteph7The beginning of Gintama clearly mentions various times the sword ban but the Shinsengumi are constantly carrying around swords. Why is that allowed?

boop
 
@ToshinouKyouko beep
hows things @tosh
 
@Memor-X okay, i started re;zero last night on chat's suggestion
 
@ToshinouKyouko good suggestion?
 
i also discovered that board games are real cheap here, so i bought a few
@Memor-X seems good so far
probably not gonna be a favourite for me, but i think ill enjoy it
 
@ToshinouKyouko like what?
@ToshinouKyouko not every title has to be a favorite, so long as you enjoyed it
favorites just have a greater chance of being re-watched
 
6:34 AM
@Memor-X I bought Carcassonne and a japanese-themed game
i can't remember the name of the top of my head

But I have much work thiese days
 
10:21 AM
@Avery why?
 
@Ikaros ME THREE
@Hakase wai not
 
@Gallifreyan fuck that rando guy tho, this is the only route imo
@Tyhja y yes
@Tosh what does a mod gotta do to make the site run these days?
basically the mod position requires at the very least to check out the review q every day
text says 30 minutes on the site minimum every day
I'm not even on the site for anything else other than to downvote and close an id which I see posted in chat
all my site activity I get from Sakamoto
 
@Gallifreyan this Life is Strange?
 
yes
@Yuuki she doesn't but what else can you do in that shitty town?
that guy? no
shoulda stayed in paris or wherever she went for that art exhibit
 
10:37 AM
hmmm, might play it now that i finished Nier: Automata. got it for free with my Playstation+ Subscription but it's been sitting on my PS4 since
 
10:56 AM
@Memor-X I brought it, still have to play it
 
@Ikaros Life is Strange or Nier: Automata
 
Nier:Automata
 
@Hakase y y
@Ikaros giffs meh
 
Gao
jesus, loli programs c++11 like a pro:
 
@Gao Japanse comments over English code? :\
 
Gao
11:05 AM
@Ikaros not that uncommon. i'd rather see comments in native languages than incomprehensible engrish
 
@Gao Yeah, that makes sense
 
@Gao New Game?
 
Gao
@Memor-X yes. you're also watching the second season?
 
@Gao no. havn't seen the first. was wondering why it was having a resurgence since i swore it wasn't new
 
Gao
@Memor-X first season's just last year
 
11:15 AM
@Hakase day to day, dealing with flags. less often, having to post on metas, discuss things with other mods, etc
 
Gao
lol that's one sexist workplace
new game 2 is off to a good start
 
11:30 AM
I watched 1 episode of New Game
It didn't seem good to me
Did you like it?
 
Gao
@Ikaros If you like cute girls, you'll like it. You should watch until at least the point when Nene-chi made her debut and then decide, because Nene-chi is, I think, the best girl in this series.
 
@Gao Typical Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime, is it?
 
Gao
@Ikaros That, and workplace humor.
But there were also times when it got boring, cliched and repetitive
But overall it's an enjoyable watch, and second season seems like it can only be better
currently the second best cute girls doing cute things anime i've watched
(aria doesn't count)
 
what is the first
 
Gao
ichigo marshmallow
 
11:44 AM
 
And k-on? :P
 
Gao
@Ikaros i dropped that one coz it's too slow-paced, haha
and the girls are not cute enough to keep my interest
 
11:59 AM
blasphemy
 
@Gao so if Aria counted where would it be?
 
Gao
@Memor-X third, obviously
 
Isn't she cute?
 
Gao
@Ikaros yea, rabbit cute
 
12:00 PM
@Ikaros lil-yui is cuter
 
Gao
@Memor-X i agree
 
@Gao Jokes aside, I quite like slow paced animes. Depends on the taste
 
like when she offered her red crayon
 
Definitely
 
Gao
but mio's the best
 
12:02 PM
@Gao I wish to disagree with your sayings
 
Gao
@Ikaros feel free to. i didn't even finish the series
 
@Gao >:(
 
blasphemy
D:<
there's even azunyan
D:<
rolls on hamham
~__~
 
Gao
@Tyhja yea, any black haired girl in k-on is cute. but she wasn't there in the beginning
 
yui isnt black haired
Dx
 
12:07 PM
@Tyhja I think @Gao is talking about Azusa :P
 
Gao
@Ikaros slow paced anime are hit or miss. for some reason, i love aria and dislike k-on
 
@Gao That's the exact opposite for me. I couldn't get to watch more than a few Aria episodes, still I loved K-on. The humour isn't the same, thought
 
Gao
@Ikaros if k-on starts out with azusa and mio only, i might like it more XD
@Ikaros i fell asleep half-way through aria the animation. maybe it's because everyone says it's a masterpiece that i continue watching it, but it's totally worth it
 
@Gao Again, may the moe gods pardon you for your blasphemies :\

Then, 100 years ago he started the cloning research, although we do not know where. Are there any leads in the manga that might hint at a specif...

Q: Has Sakura expressed signs of love towards Naruto?

Various times he tries to ask her out and the like but it never goes very well for him. We do eventually learn later in "Naruto:the Last" that Naruto's feelings for Sakura were a...

artist knows their job.
 
Hey, it's me!
Except my hair is longer and I don't wear chokers.
And tops.
But the rest fits.

Q: Was it not possible for Naruto to give a new sharingan to Kaksahi from Obito after Madara stole it?

Sharingan SaptarshiNaruto had the power to regrow body parts of any individual as we saw with Kakashi. Heck, he restored Guy who was on the brink of death. Therefore, was it not possible for Naruto to take Obito's left eye, transplant it to Kakashi and then just restore Obito's lost eye? It would have been the perf...

 
@Memor-X The copy of Spice and Wolf I received from ebay is unnumbered as far as I have examined it, so it seems as if the second batch both came and went without you noticing it.
Also, the manga style cover art is included in the interior pages pages (along with what I presume is all the rest), as you anticipated, so overall I am quite pleased with this. I think it would be unfortunate if Yen Press was to stop selling these, especially given that the exterior hardcover is more of the sort that I think would avoid the sort of prejudices Yen Press was anticipating when they made that other cover.
I'm also surprised to see that the book is only about 1000 pages long, given that it contains 17 volumes worth of books. However, with that having been said, it nevertheless manages to be around the size of an unabridged dictionaries (which are usually over 3000 pages long), which is probably because the paper is thicker.

This happened after Franz Bonaparta carried out the Red Rose Mansion massacre, and killed four other innocents so that the...

 
5:22 PM
So one nomination after 2 days. We're still fucked. :)
 
Gao
@Mysticial only 1 mod position is available though
 
Having a person become mod by virtue of there being no other choices is not ideal though.
Especially when the candidate score is 13/40, jeez.
 
Gao
it's not that bad... ranking 32 tied with six other users on A&M
 
I guess I'm a little biased coming from a bigger site, but I can't take any mod candidate seriously unless they have at least a 20/40 candidate score.
 
Gao
then 18 people satisfy your requirement
 
5:33 PM
Yeah but those 18 people aren't mod candidates right now.
 
@Mysticial is there a site where I can see my score without posting my nomination?
I think there was but I'm not sure
something about alternative view for mod elections
 
oh cool thanks

Q: Does taijutsu drain chakra?

Hostile AmigoWhen the user uses taijutsu like Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms for example, I understand that it uses chakra. However, what if the user is just running/punching/kicking/etc? This still counts as taijutsu, right? Does this use the user's chakra? Punching and kicking will probably exhaust the u...

 
19 huh
@Yuuki ye Makoto's alright
lol @Matt is up there too
I'm not against Makoto if he's that eager to do good stuff (whatever that means)
if it's mostly dealing with flags then I guess he'd be a good fit
 
Gao
5:44 PM
but seriously, why go for mod when high rep users can already do pretty much the same things?
 
well, that's what I commented under his nomination
he'll have to explain why he needs mod tools at all
 
Gao
how are mod tools useful?
 
I think I'm a 39 on SO. But I never ran for mod there.
Most of the SO mod nominees are 40s anyway.
 
@Gao For some reason one of my badges doesn't seem to be showing up in the count for the site you linked to.
 
I'd like to see my candidate score on SO too but I wouldn't be in the top 50 or however much that query shows
 
5:47 PM
@Gao A lot of mod power is actually soft power. Their opinions tend to hold more sway in meta discussions because the diamond means that a large, or at least not insignificant, portion of the community trusts them to do the Right Thing.
But yeah, if you want to be active on the site and do a lot of stuff, you're probably better off staying a high-rep user and not a diamond.

A: What would my Election Candidate score be?

Shog9Here's a SEDE query - this displays the candidate scores for some of the candidates in the 6th election on Stack Overflow. You can use the site-switcher to make this work for user IDs on a different site: Pass it one or more user IDs for the site you've selected, and it'll display a total ...

 
Since a lot of diamond actions becoming binding, I've seen several diamonds actually be less active on the site.
 
you changed your profile pic :o
 
@Yuuki actually that's why I don't want that diamond on me
it's like wearing a blue cop uniform in a bar
my score on SO would be 14
 
Eh, that's not a good analogy imo.
 
5:50 PM
Oh yeah, I'm 39 on SO.
 
Being a diamond is more like being the judge rather than the cop. Your words are the law. When a diamond closes, they don't vote, they close.
 
One of the reasons I never ran for mod on SO is because it means I have to stop being an asshole in the chat rooms.
 
Gao
@kuwaly that's probably because the database only updates itself once every sunday
you earned one mod badge yesterday
 
@Gao Makes sense
 
5:53 PM
well, then like wearing a black robe and a chalk white wig at a gym :p
yea I don't wanna have to stop saying fuck
 
@Hakase exactly :)
And I also play along when regulars troll people who dump questions in our room.
 
I'm absolutely fine with backseat modding just with regular close votes
 
This is probably the main reason why I don't want to be mod on SO:
in Lounge<C++> on Stack Overflow Chat, Apr 5 at 20:42, by Mysticial
Looking at the SO review queues is like staring at a pile of human stools that someone shit on your car. There may be different flavors of it. Some watery, some hard, some brown green or black. But in the end it's not very pleasant to look at no matter the flavor and how it's decorated. And after about 10 times, you kinda get a little pissed off.
 
you're talking about SO, that's its own thing
 
SO is also the only site that I even remotely qualify for running as mod.
 
5:57 PM
you know SO, then you know how the rest of the sites operate, on the technical level
if you want, you could start modding anything else, if the community votes for you
 
Gao
i don't see how bright people would want to waste time modding SO anyway
 
there's really not much to moderate here really
 
Gao
or clearing up the review queue
 
on SO it's unlimited infinte cleanup forever and until the end of times
so yea it's just useless
I bet SO mods have devised a different outlook on what a moderator is there
 
Gao
and it's only cleaning up the crap; they don't have the power to push under-upvoted posts to the top and pull over-upvoted posts to the bottom
 
6:00 PM
there have to be enough high rep users who basically have the review queue covered, and mods could probably guide the cleanup efforts with meta posts and deciding which tags to remove and retag
I wonder how Documentation is doing but not enough to actually go and see for myself >.>
 
Gao
last time i see it, it sucked
can't compete with other good docs/tutorials on the web
 
Docs is a failed experiment that SE is still hanging on to because they refuse to accept the concept of a sunk cost. Just let it die.
I have no problem with failing the experiment. It's just the pouring so much resources into reviving a dead horse that bothers not just me a but a lot of other users.
 
I used to think SO should separate "how to" Q&As from "I have this unique problem which nobody else would think to google, so it's only useful for like 5 people in existence", and they have made up this Documentation thing, but it looks so complicated with its design…
these days I try not to think about SO for too long
also the infinite AB problem type questions from coding noobs
that's 3 major question categories
ok nevermind
forget about all that
sunk cost etc etc
I'd rather think about things I can actually do something about
who do you think among active A&M users could be a good moderator?
I see some peeps who don't come in chat at all but they do a lot of stuff on the site
@kuwaly u wanna mod?
@Mem y u don't mod?
@Darj how bout u?
 
@Hakase I'm considering it, but I dropped off the map for a while and have only gotten involved again fairly recently, so I'm not sure if I feel qualified to mod.
 
I see you've got the rep
but if you don't have the will, then it's probably better to let someone more willing to take the spot

I think the whole "app" thing is silly. Just make good mobile sites, I shouldn't have to leave my browser to do every little silly thing in a much worse way. It's rare I ever use a websites app for anything unless it has functionality that utilizes the actual hardware features of the phone, like streamlining photos with the camera in the Ebay app or fingerprinting for banking. In general the whole make apps out of everything sucks. Let me stay in the browser where I can do all the things. The app has to be better than the website for me to use it!!! — Caimen May 16 at 20:50
 
Gao
lol what were they thinking?
 
idk why use an app if it's less convenient than the site
there's nothing wrong with the site
(aside from the contents but that's fixable through meta discussions)
 
6:16 PM
You also shouldn't be using a mobile device if you need help coding on a computer.

also yes, if you have a PC on which you code in front of you, why use a mobile app?
 
@Mysticial It's for repwhoring without checking your answer.
 
you can repwhore on the regular phone browser
just log in, no app required

User: What does your compiler say?
OP: I'm on my phone, in the middle of a test. plz halp!
 
just why
 
6:18 PM
Other sites? Fine. Gaming? fine. But SO?!?! Fucking SO?!?!
 
@Hakase uniform interface, not need to debug website for each device
 
debug website for each device? aren't there like 2 browser types total?
 
nope
 
chrome and safari?
 
and UC?
 
6:19 PM
huh?
 
duh
 
what's that
 
it's popular
UC Browser is a mobile browser developed by the Chinese mobile Internet company UCWeb and is owned by Alibaba Group of China. Originally launched in April 2004 as a J2ME-only application, it is available on a number of platforms including Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Java ME, Symbian, Windows Phone and Microsoft Windows. == Features == The browser uses cloud acceleration and data compression technology. UC Browser's servers act as a proxy which compresses and renders the data of web pages before sending it to users. This process helps to load web content faster. The browser can adapt to some network...

huh
 
is that mobile only?
 
6:23 PM
idk
couldn't find a site for mobile browsers which lists UC
 
also there are Chromium forks like Yandex.Browser
 
Burn them all.
 
hey there's actually a very cool feature called turbo browsing
it's basically cached and compressed pages relayed by local servers
 
Opera's got a "Turbo" feature.
 
opera had that many years ago
 
6:26 PM
But it's disabled when you use VPN.
 
it's also a kind of vpn in itself
 
I did my university project on a similar thing to Opera Turbo
 
@Hakase I doubt that opera cached anything
 
you can usually access sites unavailable in normal mode if you turn on turbo
it's cached when it's not personalized I think
 
Not if they run on HTTPS, afaik.
 
6:27 PM
perhaps you're right
 
anyways now it's called data reduction proxy in chromium
guess that opera uses it as well since it switched to chromium
 
afaik it reduces load time by sticking all the tiny image and script files together for a few big requests instead of many tiny requests, and also compressing images a lot
if it's not https and it's often accessed by everyone, it could just be cached
 
> With most of our products, if you browse a secure site with turbo mode enabled, like your bank or email, we get out of the way. Your secure data is sent directly between your device and the site.
 
@Hakase sticking together is http/1.1
 
6:30 PM
@Abyx really?
 
@Hakase welp it re-uses connection
 
I was under the impression these requests are processed separately, as depicted in dveloper tools
 
@Gallifreyan of course it doesn't compress TLS nor does it MITM it

Q: Can a jinchuuriki control how many tails their version 2 mode has?

Hostile AmigoWhen a jinchuuriki goes into version 2 mode, the number of tails that they have can be different from the number of tails their tailed beast has. For example, Naruto, the 9-tail jinchurriki, only had 6 tails in his fight against Pain. My question is does the user have to start at 1 tail and move ...

 
@Mysticial huh
seems like an easy way to melt a <word>
 
@Avery I'm not the first to put a figurine in a build before.
Here's the full build log: pcpartpicker.com/b/LkJ8TW
I stole the idea from this build: pcpartpicker.com/b/77hypg
 
@Mysticial wait why
why a i9 but only a 1050?
 
@Avery It's a not a gaming rig. It's a workstation.
 
7:44 PM
ah
 
Can't compile code on a GPU. (or at least it's not easy to do so)
 
why not i9's EX, then?
 
They haven't been released.
 
ah
 
I am genuinely interested in the 16 and 18 core ones. But they're not till October.
 
7:45 PM
still, I'd personally wait for 18core
if I had the money.
 
I'm thinking about trading up the 7900X in October.
 
what about ryzens?
 
No AVX512.
 
huh guess that's something important
 
And I have a Ryzen 8-core already which I'm using as my main machine.
 
7:47 PM
also
absolutely amazing view
which city is that?
 
If ram weren't so expensive I'd just do a brand new build in October with the larger chip and make this one my main box. But no...
@Avery Chicago
 
idk but I think amd's new server cpus should be pretty cool and affordable unlike intel's
 
@Avery I got about as many comments on the view and the shitty CPU/GPU pairing as I did on the build itself.
 
ah they're not out yet
 
server mobos are absolute BS usually
I can see why he (he, right?) went with a consumer CPU.
 
7:51 PM
@Avery They also burn out really easily. They aren't overdesigned like the overclockable gamer boards so they aren't meant to be abused.
 
I wouldn't know about that
 
I've burned out a $400 server motherboard 3 times - enough for the RMA department to recognize me.
 
damn
 
how are they not meant to be abused if they're supposed to be designed to run 24/7
 
<also a cuda or opencl version of y-cruncher would be great>
 
7:54 PM
or do you mean all sorts of under/overclocking and temperature resistant stuff?
 
@Taisho My particular board was initially designed for 95W Clovertown CPUs then "recertified" for the 150W Harpertowns.
"Recertified" my ass.
 
yea sounds fishy just from the numbers
 
I burned it out 3 times in 2 years and I wasn't even able to overclock it.
 
@Avery What on Earth is wrong with your Avatar?
 
@Avery That's not possible atm because there isn't enough parallelism and there's a huge memory bottleneck.
 
7:56 PM
Ave's avatar is being throttled in support of Net Neutrality :p
 
@Taisho exactly
@Gallifreyan did you call your senator
(obvious sarcasm)
 
Hm?
Oh.
 
It's a bug with stack.imgur.com
I will file a report later
