Is the joke that it loads forever?
 
^
 
no. Clearly your internet connection sucks.
 
Oh, stupid thing uses flash and can't even produce an error message.
 
12:45 AM
you ask so much of Flash
 
grr. Well, changing the front part of the URL to http://youtube.com/watch seems to work
 
Competent error messages are such a first world expectation. You need to check your privilege
 
I was talking about how flash was deprecated 7 years ago…

@SmokeDetector fp- huh?

@Doorknob yes, but it doesn't loop over the part that I want it too
 
user259867
@Doorknob "black magic" as usual
 
Ah right.
 
Totally invalidating the joke
cam
can't you just enable flash
 
@James Well then find a way to make it loop without Flash.
 
Has anyone in here had good experiences with a personal / home NAS device? I was thinking about buying this one.
 
12:48 AM
no I can't enable Flash without first downloading Flash and why would I ever want to do such a thing?
@jadarnel27 it's the wrong color
 
@Doorknob Good point, although I don't know if I should hold out for a high-quality brown NAS.
 
@Doorknob jaaaaahvaaaaahscrooooooooooipt!
@jadarnel27 Brown? You mipselld black.
 
@JasonC lol, you sound so surprised
 
The one time I hankered for a NAS, I ended up building a mini-itx "server".
 
12:51 AM
@jadarnel27 You could always paint it brown, I suppose. (sorry, don't have any actual advice :P Super User chat might be a better place to ask)
I like how when you hover over it, an incredibly useless zoomed-in view pops up.
 
@Doorknob I appreciate your efforts, regardless =)
 
Also, I'd imagine that page would be about 10 times better with the Cloud to Butt extension installed.
 
Irregardless, even.

Q: Visited links don't disappear with the rest of the spoiler block

AstroCBWhen you hover out of a spoiler block, the text disappears. However, it appears that the styling of visited links prevents them from disappearing with the rest of the block. From here (although the post has changed, it still contains a link). You can also test it here: As a side note, ...

Finally got around to that.

[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in answer: Homeomorphism on the Hilbert space by user244291 on math.stackexchange.com
 
You know, @bjb, I find your comments borderline offensive, and I'm like the staunchest hater of organized religion I know.
2
(And unorganized religion, for that matter.)
 
Meh
I think the title unnecessarily opposes religion to science and is misleading in a way that can be considered offensive in itself.
But what I think doesn't really matter.
Especially with, waves paws, that site.
@AlexisKing like as in I'm more staunchy?
 
Mostly just the fact that all your attacks on religion come off as really ad hominem, and honestly kind of annoys me because there are way better things to get frustrated about wrt religion.
 
Well, of course I have actual attacks, but I don't share them in the tavern for fear of banning.
I just thot these ones are milder.
It's more of a "hehe look!" than a "these people are stupid and their ideas are worthless" kind of thing.
 
3:22 AM
Don't get me wrong, I hate the religion-focused SEs. Especially Judaism. Probably because its nature lends itself so well to the Q&A format, managing to produce a seemingly endless flow of pedantic bullshit that doesn't mean anything and only serves to confuse.
5
But don't mind me. I'm just a programmer. whistles
 
@AlexisKing I wholeheartedly agree. At least as a bystander, the discussions they have just seem to obfuscate the whole idea of a unifying religion thing.
It reminds me of pitchforks and dark ages.

I think that discipline in a STEM field, kinda precludes the ability to seriously belong to an organised religion. Religions like their members to be biddable and not think too hard about the whole mystic being in the sky. Rosy cheeked boys also seem to be a plus for some reason.

The part after ?query= is the normal URL of the query (parameters appear to work, too). It is assumed that the query was already run normally, so that the results are cached by SEDE; otherwise the viewer won't work.

Q: Why is this map called a fold?

a studentConsider the map $\varphi : \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2$ defined by $(x,y) \mapsto (x,y^2)$. Apparently this map is called a fold as the $(x,y)$-plane is folded over and creased along the axis $y=0$. But I really don't see how this is the case: $y^2$ does not "fold" or "crease" anything it ju...

Q: how to eat loud food (chips, celery) quietly

BrettFromLAI like munching celery at work, but I don't want to annoy my coworkers. Today I cut my celery into 1-inch (bite-sized) pieces so I don't have to loudly bite it off from the stalk. How else could I eat celery (or carrots or tortilla chips) quietly?

3
A: how to eat loud food (chips, celery) quietly

Pieter BBlend it in a blender. Chips require you to also add some salsa or in general a "wet" component, celery or carrots don't. Carry it to work in a container of some kind and use a spoon to eat.

@JanDvorak is Smokey able to see the content of deleted questions? I've always wondered that..
 
why?
 
@JanDvorak on some questions it reports (like the one we just acted on), are deleted
 
race condition
 
@JanDvorak true
makes sense now I think about it. probably puts offending posts into a queue and reports them after it's done.
probably could be modified to check for a question deletion before it reports, but would use up the API calls far quicker
 
9:15 AM
Not even that. These posts do exist when Smokey reports them.
 
^^ Was about to say the same, often I've put the final flag on a post that was only posted a few seconds earlier so often they've been deleted by the time you get to them
 
true, was that post on Meta? spam always is removed within 30 secs there.
 
Think that was SO, I opened the link pretty quickly and think my flag took it to -5
 
probably already had some spam flags before Smokey noticed it.
