@zaq I used to tap that sequence when I was like 4! I think I got up to around 7 layers deep (before getting bored of tapping a binary sequence). I still have it burned in my mind.

The plot is what I get by bit-shifting that sequence to the left and plotting the resulting numbers.

The remarkable thing is how far they all are from 0 and 1. Possibly answering my Math.SE question

@rene I was almost going to be humble. But after reading that reddit co-founder got engaged today, I start to think otherwise. Steve Jobs died within 48 hours after my first ios app was released, there was a serious reshuffle at microsoft after my first windows phone app was published.

user202362

so if something serious happens to reddit co-founder within 48 hours after my first question was published on reddit, I am hardly surprised.

user202362

coincidences do happen, but it happens a lot more on some people than the others

user202362

also did I mentioned that the day I departed the last company before I started my own app biz, it's the same day as the earthquake that killed more than 15000 people?

@zaq did you see this request? The OP pinged me and asked if those numbers can be done with SEDE, but I recall you also keep track of those A51 stats, didn't you?

user315433

No, I'm not scraping Area 51. I used to keep track of some review queues, but I stopped.

Shadow Wizard

hmm... has Shog cast some anti freeze magic in this room? 15 days and no auto freeze.

rene

@zaq Hmm, OK. I'll give SEDE something to do then.

@ShadowWizard maybe the temperature in that room is above the threshold

@JasonC failed to make breakfast? How can one do such a thing? ;)

@rene yeah, there was some heated discussion.... :D

user315433

I sometimes fail to make breakfast so hard that it turns into lunch. Like today, for example.

@zaq bacon and eggs for lunch? That can work.

user315433

I hear bacon is offensive nowadays.

user315433

My breakfast consists of coffee, bread, and something on the bread, usually cheese. Not really possible to mess anything there. :D

Jason C

@ShadowWizard Burnt home fries. Dried out some expensive fresh sausage. My home made peanut butter came out like crap. Burnt my toast twice. Kept cracking shells into the eggs. Made orange juice then spilled the glass.

I ended up just eating some yogurt and spending a half hour washing dishes.

user315433

@ShadowWizard Probably was the case; Andrew's names correlated with mine for a while. (As are the current zaq and qwer).

user315433

But then I stopped changing names, and he got bored / busy elsewhere.

Shadow Wizard

6:32 PM

@zaq right... Andrew... wonder if you'll change back to @NormalHuman will he change back to Andrew as well? :)

@JasonC oh my... guess it would be cheaper and cleaner to buy everything ready to eat/drink then e.g. fries you can just put in microwave... though not sure there are toasts ready to eat you can buy. :)

also... quora.com/… :P

@Jason maybe better have a coffee first, then prepare the rest? ;)

Jason C

8:08 PM

@ShadowWizard It's cheaper and cleaner to just stay in bed.

I am annoyed by this peanut butter though. I can't get it quite right. I want something thick and creamy like Jif, but it keeps coming out more like oily powder.

I kind of wonder if I'm roasting the nuts too long maybe I'm drying out all their natural oils?

7 Little-Known Reasons WordPress.com Sucks for Serious Bloggers

user315433

Was reading that post, because I came across reason #8: can't pay for hosting more than a year in advance.

user315433

I.e., when using a domain registered through them, one is billed yearly and that's the only option. :(

user315433

I kind of wanted to make sure that the thing is around for the next ~20 years, maybe.

user315433

The part about not being able to use MathJax sucks too. The formulas-as-images, created with nonstandard $latex blah $ syntax are so 2000.

rene

@zaq but doesn't that also depend if they have to pay annual fees to their up-stream supplier? And with this year scheme they can decide to keep the domain after you cancelled it/refused to pay for it any longer and put an ad on it and try to sell it for a better price? With the 20 year scenario they can't do that.

user315433

Yeah, I get that that's their business decision. But a reason to look elsewhere for stable hosting.
