Do u care? It isn't minor, is it?
I did want to post a req to svgify The Snowflake.
They seem to use the same image from year-to-year so it might be worth posting

hmm, do you get hats on per site metas?
@ɥʇǝS No. They're disabled.
I see.
I thought they worked last year?
I figured out how to make hats larger.
01:05
I don't know if they did on per-site Metas or not last year because MSO was still MSE last year. :P And I don't really participate on any other Metas.
@hichris123 just drag the rotation knob
@animuson oh okay :P
Eeek! The blog has been over-run by odd characters I don't understand!
Hahahaha I accepted their challenge of running it through Google Translate and I feel like I'm reading a mad lib.
@animuson Yep, this is fun :D
An elderly off-topic on which the close votes expire :( stackoverflow.com/q/23183100/1864610

heh ;P
Any luck with hairboat @Doorknob冰?
@ɥʇǝS Oh yeah, I was going to try to figure out how to get that.
I just found out that existed this morning.
I've been thinking and tinkering all day but I can't figure it out.
@animuson Ahh - the power of the diamond... Thank ye.
I reread something Pinkman-style... that was horrible!

Q: How to draw in NDC co-ordinates?

user2759617I am new to openGL and working on a game. My viewing parameters are: eye 0 -5 3 viewup 0 1.5 0 lookat 0 0 0 I have multiple objects all transformed,scaled,rotated differently. I want a background with texture for the game. Someone told me the best way to do is draw a quad in NDC. How would I do ...

Someone cv as off-topic so we get one of each. :D
@HoboSapiens Out of curiosity, is the profile picture a reference to Nethack? ;)

towson.edu/ows/faultycomp.htm jajaja (sry, spanish exam comming up)
> Botto ice cream contains 50% less fat
sounds like an ad
Yup. Spammers no tienen ingles y son stupido.
Wow, I didn’t know Guugle Transfate worked here!
Huh google translate says stupido is italian.
estúpidos is spanish.
Of course.
No liquid s’s in Spanish.
01:44
I have no idea what a liquid s is.
That means they can’t occur at the start of a syllable before a stop.
Okey
So they pronounce the English word STOP more like estoz.
Or estof, or estó. But they can’t do st-.
As you see, they also have trouble with unvoiced stops at the end of the word, too. :)
Huh.
Yeah.
01:46
Why don't we all just speak javascript? Much easier.
We take for granted what can go where, as though everybody does that.
Spaniards and Japanese are two of the better known groups who have rather limited syllable possibilities.
But think of all the crazy Greek words we don’t say both consonants in at the start of the word anymore.
Psyche. Gnomic.
Or even Germanic knight.
Pneumatic.
but spanish is easily readable
Sure.
If you say so. :)
you just have to read it as it's written
no weird three consonant plus two vowel sounds
The phonology is rather more complex than people think.
Well, how do you explain to somebody that the second consonant in Spanish cada is the same one as at the start of the English word the?
01:50
btw, my name can't be separated in syllables :P
Yes it can, because there are no phonemic triphthongs in English.
that's the catch... my name isn't english-based
Doesn’t matter.
¬_¬
You can’t squeeze aia in one syllable.
01:52
writes "aia" in a paper and name a box "syllable" and squeezes the paper in it
DONE! >:)

A: Do “playas” and RP “pliers” have triphthongs, or are they two syllables?

tchristThe word playa is pronounced /ˈplaɪ.ə/ in English with two syllables. English doesn’t really have triphthongs at the phonetic level. Famed English phonetician John Wells, author of the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary doesn’t, believe that vowel sequences traditionally considered “triphthongs” ...

Gosh, what horrible punctuation.

DELETION NEEDS MOD. I NO CAN DELETE
Where?
"phonemic"?
And I fixed the pucktuation so you can take back your downvote.
And fixed that.
It can occur at the phonetic level but not the phonemic level. See JBJ’s comment.
@bjb568 What do you want deleted?
Oh fine.
@MartijnPieters That doesn't sound like something I would do.
I'm a real jerk.
@ɥʇǝS I know, just figured that out.
Really?! What?
I literally spent about an hour trying to figure it out..
oh bah.
Thought you had replied to an earlier message of mind.
@ɥʇǝS I did. ;)
02:03
No, an even earlier one.
or hrm, maybe it was a later one.. anyway, a different question :P

I'm outraged this question was deemed 'not a real question.' This is pathetic moderation. — user May 8 '13 at 15:36
If you don't understand the question due to your lack of knowledge of a specific field, does that imply the question is not real? What kind of wisdom is that? P.S. Do you see the votes on the question? — Usman.3D Feb 10 at 6:46
@Doorknob冰 Still, I remember on meta it said you can flag for a mod to edit if you can't (on child metas). That "I no wannu" attitude is annoying.
Can I have your delete votes, @Doorknob冰? ;)
@hichris123 You already do, for all three. :P
@bjb568 It's not called "annoying;" it's called "community moderation."
@Doorknob冰 I meant can I steal them and use them on my own account. But that works too.
There's more!

Q: Github gist copyright

cbabyWho holds the rights on github gist posting, or any other public posting for that matter, when no licensing information is provided?

@Doorknob冰 Deletion of a question takes insanely high amounts of rep that it is highly ineffective if not facilitated by a moderator which regularly handles exceptions like the post I flagged.

@hichris123 best to sort by newest; the questions that remains closed and unanswered for years are the most obvious candidates.

Q: Answer count in network profile is less than the actual count

BehaviourMy network profile cites the number of answers on Mathematics that is consistently less (by 13) than the actual number, shown on my site profile. It goes like this: network profile: 1306; site profile: 1319 network profile: 1307; site profile: 1320 network profile: 1313; site profile: 1326 ...

Wow, they really don't vote much on Math.se
I haz near your rep on GL, but with less than 500 answers.
Of course, I don't dv so much
@Frank there is just this guy that downvotes "too much"
