Just use Stack Overflow Jobs to apply for a job for the first time. :P

Actually, I guess I used it to apply for the Stack Overflow job itself, but that's a bit of a special case.

I am failing high school maths - calculating cross section on a random triangle (non of the angles is 90 degree) for planning purposes is so damn hard. It's not impossible but there are so many more steps to go across if you do it by hand

@JeremyBanks let us know if it works

define 'works'

I think if someone starts paying you that's a reasonable test

Make friends: it's much easier to make friends with people who share your common interest/vision or goals, because then you have things to talk about. Also bonding is easier by spending time doing things you both enjoy

We can't use the force from the sun to get us to other stars because solar wind stops outside of our solar system.
If we can capture the matter from when dark matter decays then we could potentially create a neutrino drive in deep space.
An ounce of dark matter is worth roughly 1 Septillion dollars.

omg tesla made a semi truck
It comes with a captains chair like from Star Trek, how cool would it be to outfit one with like rooms in the back and an observatory.

would be awesome to be able to control the location of a black hole - send it close to your enemies and watching them passing the event horizon from distance ...

yep, building trucks not cars ... and mow down people faster ...

Did it look at you in the eye, and then back at its feet, and then slowly give you the blue screen of death, as if to say "sorry, but well we were all talking and..."

sigh, I made this whole experiment using javascript canvas to debunk the idea that W is the pixel winner because it is only the widest letter but perhaps not the densest. W still won...
I had thought B might have a chance but no
 
Andrew T.
Andrew T.
How about M?
 
Travis J
Travis J
I can put an M together in a bit if you are curious
Takes a little bit of doing, gotta get the same font size, put it in an image, put it in the canvas, count the non whitespace
Once the writeup is finished I will include M and link it for you
 
Andrew T.
Andrew T.
oh, "not the densest"... I thought only "the widest"
 
Travis J
Travis J
W is definitely the widest
However, there was the post about which had more pixels
And so density came into play
 
Andrew T.
Andrew T.
erf, doesn't it also depend on font/typeface? anyway, I'll wait for the writeup :)
 
Travis J
Travis J
7:01 AM
It totally does, but this is using the font that SO is using so I got a break on that aspect
 
Andrew T.

anyway, re: "I want to flag any post to get Marshall badge", I wanted to suggest to OP to join SOCVR and flag to close cv-plz questions... dunno if it's a good idea or not :X

@AndrewT. heh.
smokey's probably the easy way to do that these days
 
Andrew T.
Andrew T.
that's why SOCVR is still a good choice because spam on SO is reported there :p
(and I wonder, sometimes CMs and devs instantly come into this room after someone posts a message, as if there's a trigger to auto-join Tavern :x)
 
Journeyman Geek

lol
If I knew anything about that, I probably couldn't talk about it. ;p
(personally I think its confirmation bias)
"If a CM or Dev joins a room, and there's no one to see it..."

I spy with my little eye
 
Travis J
Travis J
stackoverflow.com/a/47345527/1026459 . Okay so I made the post. M was close at 150 pixels, but W still won with 157 pixels.
 
Andrew T.
Andrew T.
W is for Width, but H cries because everyone ties on Height :(
 
Travis J
Travis J
7:43 AM
H wasn't a contender :P
 
Andrew T.
Andrew T.
btw, are the images anti-aliased?
 
Travis J
Travis J
Slightly, I took a screenshot of the screen and then cropped 3 separate images
The anti-aliased values are included in the data though. If you are curious, you can see the test fiddle I was using: jsfiddle.net/qv52f7et
It has a breakdown of the individual colors

@Telkitty sharing the same concept of "friendship" helps a lot, too. It seems nowadays the most common definition is "temporary alliance based on common goals, ditch them as soon as you can find a more useful ally". This obviously doens't work well for people that have a more shonen-like vision.....

@Derpy I have a more ... classical interpretation of friendship
My friends are people who I enjoy spending time with and pursuing mutual hobbies with
While we do help each other out, the primary purpose isn't a "us vs the world" kind of thing but more of a social thing

@Magisch that was part of my point too. Even if you go for a more standard and less "social convenience based" definition, you still have a full spectrum of "how much I am willing to sacrifice". From the "play cards during recess at school" to the "the world government decided she doesn't deserve to live so I will declare war upon the world government".

the beginning sounds like:
- email is effectively required to use many government services these days
- regular people usually only know how to sign up for a few major services like Google which usually ask for your phone number, therefore compromising their anonimity
- if somewhere on stack exchange, issues about email privacy/freedom are being discussed, the only people who can participate anonymously, which may be required in case their local governments are not in support of it, are technical users who know how to use anonymous services, therefore creating a bias in the voting on such q…
