Morning everyone!
 
o/
 
Awww I thought Pseudo doesn't like me x)
@JAD: Do you know the python lib sage?
or maybe u ava?
 
sage?
Ha, it's for math. Then no. But maybe JAD knows. Maybe I could help anyway?
 
Well, I don't think so. As I need to know for what it usually gets implemented and how far its scope goes xP
Like you know, is it also being used/implemented for other purposes as the one it promises.
Or maybe you can... I wonder, why the sourcecode is kinda identical to the one of a lib being called "python" '^.^
 
6:13 AM
I suppose you should check the first release date
Python got to become a very popular language for math and computing stuff throughout the years
 
Well the thing is I am analyzing a project and it has quite a few components that have a 100% match with both files. So I have now to evaluate by their contexts. Thats why I am asking.
 
@dhein Mmh, that's weird. If they match 100%, why not just try to unbind one of them (preferably the one who's not installed by default if applicable) ?
 
6:36 AM
unbind? Again, keep in mind I am not asking this as developer. '^.^ Its an finished project an development team made. Now it is my job to analyze which resources are consumed for it. :P And I am kinda strugling here as I find python weird speaking from an structual component point of view ^^
Ohhh, I got you... Well. there is nothing to unbind. They have an own component by their own name. And it matches with these 2 lib's to 100%. Now I have to figure which of these 2 is actually the one having been consumed. And by trying to find a hint on that I was wondering (since having a 100% match with both of them means they are identical to each other, too ^^) why these 2 apparently major python libs are so identical in the first place.
^^
 
7:02 AM
ha :/
I don't know what to tell you, I'm sorry
 
HAHAHHA don't be sorry, as said I wasn't expecting you to be able to help if you don't even know the lib. Also its not really a problem. would just have been helpfull if anyone could have told me, now I have to analyze it my self. But hey that's my job and thats why I can call myself an profesionell analyst. So don't feel bad for me having to work for my money xP

A: Sandbox for Proposed Questions

TermatinatorHow can I contact a friend when I haven't heard from them in weeks? Online i got some friends who I regularly play games with, these aren't just people on the internet you meet for me. I know a lot of things about them and we've been friends for a long time. Suddenly out of no-where one friend ...

 
@Termatinator: At least try to be consistent with lower and upper case I xP
:D
 
@dhein sorry XD
@dhein added the upper case I's
 
Haha kk xP
 
JAD
7:15 AM
@dhein no, I'm not that familiar with Python
 
@JAD: kk, thanks anyways :)
 
@Sandman Online friends disappearing with no other way to contact is horrible
@JAD what's Snor then
 
JAD
@Mithrandir A Boa
 
7:36 AM
@JAD Buitengewoon opsporingsbevoegd ambtenaar? Guess it's always good to have one of those as a pet.
 
@Mithrandir i had this once before but was able to find contact then by some... controversial... ways (two different situations btw)
 
JAD
@Tinkeringbell Never have to pay for the metro ever again :-D
 
to clarify the controversial ways, that friend wasn't bothered by it

Q: In what direction should I explain a topic that requires in-depth knowledge to understand?

ahemmetterThis is most likely a general problem in interpersonal communication and teaching that I have come across frequently, but couldn't find a definitive solution for. Here is an example: I am a PhD student in the field of graphene electronics. Family members, friends or my partner want to kno...

 
9:21 AM
@ExtrovertedMainMan 30 minutes and already an answer. There is probably some commenting and moderating that need to be done here...

Q: How to deal politely with people asking about your job but unable to understand it?

TzasonI work as a researcher in a very abstract field of Mathematics (this kind of thing) It is very pure Mathematics, without any concrete applications. When I meet somebody for the first time, they often ask me about my job and they want to know the details: What are you working right now? OK, you ju...

Though seems different enough.
Hmmm.
 
@Ælis I added some bits to the question in the sandbox
more tags added as well
@Ælis btw, a question, is it common for questioons in the sandbox to be downvoted?
 
9:39 AM
@Termatinator Yes, it was me. Want you think the question isn't ready, you downvote. When the question is good to go, you upvote. If you don't know, you just don't vote. For now, I have reverted my downvote but didn't upvoted yet as I hope other people will take it a look and suggest other improvement
 
ah okay thx, I was just a bit confused as I didn't see many downvoted questions there

Q: How to ask a 3rd party to tell someone to contact me?

user1261710I am looking for information on my estranged father of 20 years. I found the sister of his old best friend on Facebook. Her name is Lily. Lily told me her brother George lived with my father for many years. Lily is very active on Facebook and I've chatted with her on the messenger feature a few ...

 
@ExtrovertedMainMan By Bollywood logic, you should get into the Police Academy, become a sergeant, grow a mustache, chase a criminal, and the criminal will end up being your father or brother.
QED.
 
1:00 PM
Morning everyone, happy Friday!
 
@Rainbacon sneezes Habby Fribay do you doo!
 
Afternoon
Fridays are our weekends.
 
@Tinkeringbell oh no. Are you sick or just allergies?
 
Just a cold, I hope.
Allergies would be way more 'fun' to handle :/
 
@Tinkeringbell Depends on how good of an allergist you have. My fiancee used to be on a lot of allergy meds, then she went to a new allergist when she moved and he took her off of all of them. 3 years and several sinus infections later, she got a new allergist who put her back on the meds.
 
1:04 PM
@Rainbacon Hmmm. I don't think I have allergies, I was tested for those a few times as a kid. I just have a lousy immune system that plays pokemon with rhinoviruses.
(ergo: catches them all)
 
Well, tomatoes got Vit C, but are also allergens
Do they make it worse, or better?
 
You really dared to advise tomatoes? To me!?
 
Oh wait you're the tomato hater
If you were Mith I would have
Try bananas.
 
I can safely eat bananas :)
 
Or strawberries
 
1:08 PM
strawberries are perfect too, especially with sprinkles
 
Banana strawberry omelet with extra tomato
 
Leave out the tomato and I'm in ;)
 
Also colds fluctuate more often than allergies, although this is hard to tell in more extreme cases
 
@Tinkeringbell I almost ate a banana this morning, but they aren't ripe enough yet
 
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ 'fluctuate'?
 
1:10 PM
Like, you get lots of sneezing or coughing in the morning, but it ends up being a watery nose in the afternoon
 
Also, I hate tomatoes too, unless they are ground into sauce
 
@Rainbacon I don't like really ripe bananas. I eat them while their skin is still a bit greenish ;)
 
@Rainbacon Those usually make me feel like a caveman
 
@Rainbacon ketchup is okay, but I don't really like tomato pasta sauce either.
And only 1 kind of tomato soup, the really sweet ones that are sold as 'chinese tomato soup' over here.
 
My little brother hates tomato too. It's annoying
@Tinkeringbell Hmm, we do have a soup we use tomato paste in, but it's usually in relatively small amounts so you won't even notice
The tomato taste of the tomato paste
 
1:13 PM
Well, some tomato soups over here are just water and pureed tomatoes :P
 
@Tinkeringbell I don't eat tomato soup, but I do eat tomato pasta sauce so long as it doesn't have chunks of tomato in it
 
@Rainbacon chunks are horrible...
I can eat a few, if I e.g. eat a salad and there's bits and pieces that I can't easily get out... but if I can, I put them to the side
 
Chunks of tomato in something nonviscous is pretty annoying, yeah.
But generally, tomatoes are life. Tomatoes are love.
Also good for you.
Might consider injecting them o.o
 
That must be why I'm having a cold right now then.
I'll eat some fries and ketchup tonight ;)
 
@Tinkeringbell chicken soup!
 
1:18 PM
@Tinkeringbell And I'll eat a pizza so as to avoid catching whatever it is that you have.
 
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I've got a cold, not a serious illness. There's zero wrong with my appetite :P
 
But fries works too. Although hot enough fries always burns your tongue
 
@Rainbacon Sounds like a good excuse :P
 
@Rainbacon Without pineapples, or anchovies. Some lemon juice, and olives.
 
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ With a whole bunch of meat and cheese, and pineapple. Perhaps lemon juice, but no olives or anchovies, that's right :)
 
1:21 PM
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Just pepperoni. It's the only topping my fiancee and I can agree on (I also like salami)
 
Pepper makes cold symptoms worse
Or anything that makes you go achoo
 
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Yes, and no. Perhaps don't breathe it in, but a bit of fiery food can clear sinuses very well :)
 
Anyway if being drowsy doesn't matter all that much
 
You recommend alcohol?
 
I'd take a Cetirizine before a meeting and enjoy the ride
 
1:30 PM
Only a few more minutes to go and I can safely shut this laptop down.
I think I can just wait until after dinner, then have a nice drink tonight.
 
Or was it Loratadin? I forgot which makes you sleep faster
I like Loratadin though. Fixes up your nose like no other.
 
@Tinkeringbell Make sure you come back to upvote the answer I'm writing ;)
 
And it's retro, unlike that new stuff that keeps coming out.
 
Well, considering I'm already struggling to keep awake those days that I take paracetamol, I don't think I need any other meds/painkillers ;)
@Rainbacon sorry! no binging and browsing ;)
 
@Tinkeringbell They're not painkillers
I hate painkillers
 
1:33 PM
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Well, I'm not fond of them either... unless it's that time of month. Then they're a gift of the gods :)

Q: How can I tell my wife to pay more attention to everything without sounding condescending or rude?

workoverflowMy wife doesn't pay attention to anything she's doing or happening around her. For example: she doesn't pay attention to holes, pits, and ledges when we're out and she's pushing our son's stroller. I repaired the front wheels two times each because she doesn't pay attention to where she's pushi...

 
2:26 PM
@ExtrovertedMainMan TIL Chrome spellcheck doesn't recognize the word "graphene"
 
@EmC IKR, even 'covalent'
Crimes against chemists.
 
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ shocked gasp
 
Even EmC
 
you'd think those nerds would have words like that in their dictionary :P
 
Crimes against, erm, English letters
 
2:28 PM
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Concocted Crimes Concerning Casual Chemists?
 
@scohe001 5 C's. That's so beautiful it should be Olympics motto or something
 
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ It would certainly compete for the gold medal in alliteration
 
@Rainbacon I think you mean the "Awesome Alliteration Award?"
 
Yeah, that sounds right
 
lol :P

in English Language & Usage: Multi-Layered Discourse Room, 17 hours ago, by Mitch
Attested state's assets assets sit aside Assads sated, detested adsit.
We have a contender from ELU chat who comes up with terrible puns.
 
Can someone drop a comment on this post to help the OP get it into a better state for the site?
 
@Rainbacon sounds like more of a logistics question than an IPS one. Not sure if that'll be able to be made on topic
 
If you don't think it can be made on topic, you could also leave that in a comment
 
I'm trying to write one now, if nobody else is about to post one ;)
 
Don't have time at the moment, just pitching in with my two cents. If there's not one by the time--
nvm, looks like @EmC's on it lol
 
2:45 PM
@EmC Thanks, I'd have left one but I didn't have the time
 
posted :)
 
Good comment
 
Looks good to me!
 
that was a quick response/edit from OP!
 
Ooh, I love when that happens!
 
3:15 PM
@Rainbacon Thanks!! :) I'm still recovering from the shock of having no schoolwork left to do
 
@ElizB What will you do with all the new found time?
 
@Rainbacon hobbies!! Cleaning up my area! I actually did that the first thing this morning
 
Nice!
 
Now i wish i took a before picture so I can compare
 
@ElizB oh wow I missed that message earlier - congrats!! that's got to feel awesome :D
 
3:25 PM
Party!
 
3:36 PM
@EmC Yeah, definitely feels good :)
@avazula Yup, that's tomorrow!! :D
 
@ElizB yay
 
@avazula I'm enjoying time with hubby's parents
 
:)
 
@ElizB Oh I've experienced that once or twice
It's like breaking out of a prison but now you have no idea what to do with your newly gained freedom.
 
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ yeah, it goes away some time after, because new things come up to do
 
3:43 PM
It's always perplexed me how the stereotypical guy lying down in a beach doesn't go crazy with the thought of calculating rent and taxes and salaries and how he's not doing any of them at the moment, propelling him backwards in the universe.
 
haha yeah
 
4:10 PM
Ugh, I forgot my headphones at home when I came to work today and now I'm having trouble concentrating

Oh hey, @Catija, since you're here. What's the latest on the minimum required age for posts to go to HNQ?
 
in The Closet, 1 hour ago, by IPS Meta Comments
@Ælis It's already written and in a PR but we're waiting on a build review before it can go live. I'm really hoping next week but it depends on a variety of things that I can't control. — Catija ♦ 1 min ago
 
@Ælis Oh, that's handy :)
How are you today @Ælis?
 
@Rainbacon The day has been long but it's almost over now and I'm able to rest which is nice. What about you?
 
Also have had kind of a long day. Got some feedback that my skipping of two optional meetings in order to work on my client work might be seen poorly, so that wasn't great
 
:/ I had hate it when some "optional" things turns out to not be so optional after all :/
 
7:45 PM
It wasn't so much that it wasn't optional as that I was told that unless I specifically mentioned that I had other work that needed done people would just assume that I was "not participating", thus showing a lack of caring for office development or something like that
 
@Rainbacon Yes, that what I mean by "not optional". It's optional but "society" still expect you to go, so it's not really that optional
 
Ah, yeah, it sucks
