Here;s a link to my notes. Don't flag anything outside of the [status-declined] section, as those are ones that need more discussion. Also, don't blindly tag - double check that my notes/categorisation is correct. Don't edit the ones that shouldn't have [bug]/[feature-request] - those should be done later
If hyper says anything about flagging, obviously listen to him - I'm sharing this to help, not to overwhelm the site or mods. Above all, just be sensible :)
keep in mind that i did tell caird to just flag all of the posts at once and then i'd pace the edits myself (until i changed my mind on that too)
so as long as y'all are flagging appropriately and responsibly, feel free to put them all at once so i have a record of all of them and can handle them as I see fit
but I expect everyone to uphold the same standards when using flags properly, just don't bother with spacing them out yourself; i'll do what I see fit with the edits
@Razetime (or anyone), I'm looking for advice on what to do with the Pip tutorial now that TIO's version of Pip is out of date. I like having TIO links in the tutorial so people can try out the examples... but if I update the tutorial to use the current version of Pip, the code in the TIO links won't match the examples. What do you think would cause the least confusion for people learning the language?
`dalambsus` I remember old times when "sus" wasn't some amogus thing, but rather sauce thanks to YTPs. Sauce is a funny word in the good times, wasn't it?
@rak1507 Not sure why we're talking about moths, but I woke up a few days ago and found hundreds of moth eggs on my windowsill so I'm not in a particularly moth-loving-mood lately :p
rak doesn't like moths because rak is a moth (disclaimer: I used GPT-3 to autocomplete text. The dialogue after the indicated line is not at all representative of the respective users)
true but my process for constructing my queue is just either let it autoplay or if i see i won't like the autoplayed song, scroll through the recommendations and queue one and wait (brb lemme private all my playlists) and then see if i'll like the autoplay from that one lol
thing is i tend to not be at my computer for a long enough block and when i come back often i decide i don't want to listen to that song anymore or want to watch something else and then discard my queue :p even if i just step away for like 2 minutes
nah credit goes primarily to caird; they did a *lot*/most of the work and research on each question and i mostly just retagged stuff after he flagged it appropriately :P
it's a slang verb that has no real definition and roughly just means some sort of moderator action (almost exclusively used when there is no mod abuse)
Maybe a computer fan would work better. It'd move slower, but might still be able to resist low wind speeds.
Something like a backup charging battery for phones could work for both the phone and the fan as a power source
Maybe a cheap solar cell
Problem: computer fan will just cause phone + fan module to spin
One on either side might work, you'd just need some calibration to ensure they're balanced
You might be able to add lightwight sheets of plastic to add wind resistance and cause the fan to always face in one direction in strong winds, sort of like how wind turbines can rotate to become as effective as possible
I wonder how much this would cost, considering actually trying it
One balloon can lift 14 grams. A smart phone appears to be about 160 grams. Computers fans appear to be around 70 grams each. If I used the phone battery as a power source, which wouldn't last long, I'd only need 22 helium balloons. One tank of helium should be enough for that.
If I'm planning a longer term mission though, I'd need bigger balloons (made of mylar), a battery of some sort, and additional weight for steering sturctures, a parachute or landing gear, electronics, and solar cells.
Those computer fans will be useless in any amount of wind though, due to the massive wind resistance of the balloons, so they'll be used for rotating the rudder.

Fischer random chess, also known as Chess960 for the 960 valid starting boards, is a variant of chess where each player's pieces are randomly shuffled at the start. As a reminder, each player gets 8 pawns, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, one queen, and one king. For this challen...
