@James Watching this endless list of new questions never gets boring
 
@NormalHuman mm... which part? :P
 
user259867
The very basics: creating, pulling, pushing. It wasn't really necessary anyway, I was just slow to realize I actually needed a new repo.
 
@NormalHuman yeah, pulling and pushing isn't intuitive

Is it kosher for a user who has accumulated a bunch of answer downvotes to flush them all by self-deleting and then reposting content identical to what they’ve just deleted?
 
@tchrist nope
 
Didn’t think so. Thanks.
 
actually I don't know what kosher means, but nope

Seems like it’s circumventing the system to me.

> The 15 known tiling pentagons, including the one discovered last month (bottom right). theguardian.com/science/alexs-adventures-in-numberland/2015/aug/…pic.twitter.com/3wd3AmhcoT -- Joshua B. Plotkin at 6:32 AM - 11 Aug 2015 via Twitter
 
user259867
 
user259867
The tweet is slightly imprecise in that there are infinitely many tiling pentagons: the number 15 refers to distinct types. For example, in the red one one can rotate the tripod dividing the hexagon; and in all of these one can apply some stretching deformation.
 
> It's weird. Even though I'm being thanked, it feels like being scolded by my boss.

Is it possible to make http://www.example.com appear as plain text in a post? (Not inline code, and not a link).
 
dunno

I see, it works if on its own line. I was writing stuff <p>http://example.com</p>

Q: Microsoft's scam

AshbatThis is a letter I wrote to the NYT today. It isn't a question: I was a software engineer for 23 years and a computer nerd since the Sinclair. Almost all of that time was spent using Microsoft products. But now I have discovered why they are pushing Windows 10 so hard. I had a very nice Dell XP...

I trimmed the fuck out of the English.

Hey @Tchrist dunno if you know or no, but regarding "the Indian are belong to grammatical error", Hindi is to blame.
A mistranslation as it is, it happens in Thai, Japanese and Hindi. (At least)
See the Japanese version proof:
"All your base are belong to us" is a broken English phrase found in the opening cutscene of the 1991 video game Zero Wing which became a popular Internet meme. The quote is included in the European version of the game, which features poorly translated English from the original Japanese version. The meme developed from this as the result of a GIF animation depicting the opening text which was initially popularized on the Something Awful message forums. == Selected transcript == == Mentions in media == The phrase or some variation of lines from the game has appeared in numerous articles, books...
 
4:56 PM
well, it doesn't surprise me, since in Japanese you can kill someone without actually driving it to its dead
