As a apex predator/1337 tr011, the best thing is that I throw myself on to my victim and feel you trembling with fear under my body before I sink my sharp claws and teeth into your tender flesh. The worst is that your apex predator get capture, declawed and head bound for random petting and hugging ...

Which one would be a better mod? With 4 candidates for 3 spots, one of these two is assured of winning.

2 sounds like someone immature who has no respect towards the process and community governance. 1 might not outwardly want to, but they're still aware of how the process works and want to work within it.

@zaq we changed the sitenames to be shortened earlier today, so that we can fit more stuff in reports

I understand the rationale... but now I'm going to compulsively go to those sites to see what's there...

I don't know what .SE adds, actually...

Shortening to some form of hostname.split('.')[0] would make more sense to me.

Not sure about "fit more stuff in reports", but why not use site's magic link instead...

Those have some weird special cases... and it'd be a link one probably would never click (why go to the homepage?) so having it in the report that already has 4 links is adding negative value.

hmm... isn't it NSFW pic in this question? (not sure what's the site policy so not flagging)

@JourneymanGeek and who's that?! :D

@ShadowWizard if you were he, you'd know that ;p
I assume shog ;p
I only turn up when people refer to dogs apparently.
For some reason.
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@JourneymanGeek well, I wasn't referring to a dog, yet you showed up... ;)
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
oh, cause I closed all my tabs and reopened them ;p

For some reasons, I can tolerate that image since it's distorted enough. It's not an instant "woah, buttock" when seeing the image without knowing the context.
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@JourneymanGeek oh, how you do that? Can you save a tab "set"?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@ShadowWizard I have a folder of bookmarks and I open all
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@JourneymanGeek cool.... Chrome?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I coulda sworn FF had a feature to open a set of tags at startup
firefox
I think I linked my "oh man, I am chatting in 4 windows like a champ" setup some time back ;p
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@qwer hehe, it was for me, it's "clear" enough.... personally I'm totally fine with it though, as long as boss isn't watching my screen..... ;)
@JourneymanGeek yeah, Chrome also restore last active tabs on startup, but if you close tabs manually, you can't later choose to re-open them.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
1:45 PM
@ShadowWizard basically I keep opening things
then just close things...
then just close everything
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
lol
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
then reopen that specific set of tabs
Then I rejoin the chats on main chat
(since I just stalked and delurked here recently ;p)
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
I got three tabs open at startup.... gmail, MSE, and Den.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
15 tabs ;p
I can probably lose a few
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
Well, my computer is... not stable... so I prefer to not risk too many tabs
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
1:47 PM
lol
I have an 'older' gaming system...
so tons of ram
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
With only three tabs Chrome consume almost 500MB memory, so guess that more tabs mean more memory and my computer will crash.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
firefox is on... 1.7gb
I run 64 bit, which is more stable for me
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
Now with local SQL Server installed, it's even worse
@JourneymanGeek yeah, also switched to 64 bit chrome not long ago, which is indeed better
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
firefox is stable for me
buuuut, my reason for using is is a bit dumb
I use it cause there's a plugin that squishes everything into one bar, which saves space...
and I run dual 4k displays so...
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
whoa
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
1:59 PM
lol
4k's likely to be the standard in coming years

and while its a little pricy, (I paid about 500 USD for one monitor, and 350 for the other), its pretty nice
(and by pretty nice I mean, it ruins lesser screens for you ;p)
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@JourneymanGeek yeah, but can't see ordinary people using it just for work
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@ShadowWizard if you work on a ton of text...
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
most people don't :)
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
2:02 PM
most employers wouldn't invest that sort of money on monitors tho ;p
The place I temped at... just replaced monitors as they died so they had 4:3 1024x768 monitors still in use
the other place had a ton of spare dells. one standard model for normal folk, and eizos for artists and VIP sorts.
(eizos are ... pretty pricy monitors with colour caliberation and all that jazz built in)

I'm in an odd place though
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@JourneymanGeek meaning?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
I don't really feel any joy coding - and SO careers is very programmer centric
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@JourneymanGeek that is true, though SE itself hires sometimes too, including tech support
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Been trying to break into system administration (actually was talking to places to do training and placement but the recruitment place was terrible)
@ShadowWizard oh, I keep an eye out for those.
But more likely to be local for tech support no?
I'm in singapore, so unless they want to do something odd like train a sysadmin from semi scratch, or hire a new CM....
(I'd apply for tech support roles anyway ;p)
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@JourneymanGeek well, they do need support world wide available 24/7 so having people all around the globe is important, and no need to arrive any office to reply phone calls.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
2:16 PM
ah
been keeping an eye on SE's own jobs page
I mean I suppose in theory, I could do the whole blind resume thing...
anyway, in my experience...
I usually get hired due to plain dumb luck.
;p
so we'll see what the universe throws at me next

@JourneymanGeek heh, most good things happen by pure luck..... :P

Very interesting place. Closed down operations here less than a year after I joined ._.

tbh, this patch of not having a job worked well cause my dad had a quadruple bypass ;p

kinda old for living with parents I know ;p

that's just what I ended up doing a lot

@JourneymanGeek lol, yeah.... well, when I started working at programming, half the time I just translated documents for the boss
his English was bad... still bad actually. :D

Truth? Subsidies got cut. They got asked to have more local folk trained up
India is cheaper, canada has more subsidies.
So they moved the overseas folk. Told the locals our jobs are safe
then, well
yeah, people started getting chopped or asked to leave.

A year-long ban at 14 seems long because it represents such a large portion of the life lived thus far, @peterh... But let's not trivialize this; I've helped folks work out of bans during what was actually the last year of their life - one would hope that is not the case here. A year is an escalation from numerous shorter bans, and certainly not a first-resort approach. Also, I feel that you're ignoring a rather long and tumultuous history on Math, full of strong arguments and bitter rivals; this trivializes the work they've put in, and sets up bad expectations for Physics. — Shog9 ♦ 45 mins ago
