"Cartoons are for kids" is a long standing fallacy. There's been pleny of adult animation out there, and not eastern only. Fritz the Cat is an animated western film for adults - from 1972.
There are so many anime shows that I wouldn't have my kids watch till they grow up a bit (mosty due to the themes, but for some - they are risque without any real reason).
@Oded also these days, old stuff that used to be considered totally innocent get whole new, bad, meaning... e.g. "את הריץ', את הרץ', את הריצ'רץ' נפתח ונראה עולמות משונים". If it would be written today, the writer would be arrested... lol
@Tinkeringbell if you like, since @ShadowWizard has called MLP an anime, I could just post a series of pictures of the anime-style Pinkie Pie action figure Kotobukiya is going to produce.
> Self-automators show that coders are in a unique position to negotiate with employers over which automation-derived gains—like shorter workweeks and greater flexibility to pursue work that interests them—should be kept by workers. There’s little evidence of any interest in doing so, but theoretically, self-automators could organize, and distribute automation techniques among middle- and working-class coders, giving rising to an industry that could actually enjoy that 15-hour workweek.
The more likely reaction is "Thanks for automating your job, your last day is in 2 weeks, remember there'll be no severance and you signed that non compete when you started, so prepare to get bent"
@ShadowWizard if you watch the original dragon ball anime, in some episodes Goku is running around naked, all bits showing. Very innocent really, but not something that would be approved today.
I seem to have been out of the loop for quite a time... congrats on the baby and on becoming a Stack employee, @Catija - I am assuming as a CM, please correct me if wrong...
@Oded Yeah, I realized the year mark got hit last week (it was my wedding anniversary, so easy to remember). Bunch of people I'm missing getting to see on the inside, including you.

@Magisch Took a few months to get my head in order. Then started looking for work - mostly wanted to find something that worked for me, which I did. Started work about 6 months ago (and getting back to a daily commute to an office took a while to get used to).
@Magisch this reminds me, another reason I originally thought you're from India is your messages about low salary; I assumed in Europe programmers always earn tons of money, and know for sure that in India the salaries are usually low, so I made 1+1. :)
The Dodecanese (UK: , US: ; Greek: Δωδεκάνησα, Dodekánisa [ðoðeˈkanisa], literally "twelve islands") are a group of 15 larger plus 150 smaller Greek islands in the southeastern Aegean Sea, off the coast of Asia Minor (Turkey), of which 26 are inhabited. Τhis island group generally defines the eastern limit of the Sea of Crete. They belong to the wider Southern Sporades island group.
The most historically important and well-known island, Rhodes, has been the area's dominant island since antiquity. Of the others, Kos and Patmos are historically the more important; the remaining eleven are Agathonisi...
@doppelgreener oh, was just a reference to an old "why are many modern American cartoons poorly drawn, apparently on purpose"? discussion I had in the Not a bar room long ago
think you may have been in that discussion too. BESW and Pixie surely were
I know very little about antennas. I know, that for a certain frequency the antenna needs a certain lengths for good sending/receiving conditions.
Often the antenna is at the end of a cable. Why doesn't the length of the cable count in addition to the length of the antenna?
though i wouldn't say many modern american cartoons are poorly drawn
if it's the aesthetics thing, choosing a weird nonrealistic (even kinda ugly looking) aesthetic is fine, the cartoon medium exists for being able to do those things.
TL;DR: if you have enough (more than 1K) followers on Twitter, just ask there for whatever you want to be done on SE, and chances it will be done are higher than if you'll ask this on MSE or here in chat. @Aaron. :)
we have a person who does data input of request emails into the system and transcribes sales consultation reports into a word document to send to the bosses
I think I have a skewed view of corporate culture. Due to nature of being in IT, I can see every department's dirty laundry and how the company is doing at all times
The Shakespeare Programming Language (SPL) is an esoteric programming language designed by Jon Åslund and Karl Hasselström. Like the Chef programming language, it is designed to make programs appear to be something other than programs; in this case, Shakespearean plays.
A character list in the beginning of the program declares a number of stacks, naturally with names like "Romeo" and "Juliet". These characters enter into dialogue with each other in which they manipulate each other's topmost values, push and pop each other, and do I/O. The characters can also ask each other questions which behave...
The regex task was easy - I literally spent 9 minutes between claiming the task and submitting it with 4 different variations of what the answer could be because it wasn't 100% clear :P
To begin with let's look at what is known as the coastline paradox. Briefly it goes like this: If you measure the circumference of Britain with a 1km long stick, and then do the same with a 100m long stick, you will find that with the shorter stick you obtain a larger measurement. This will happe...
"Wait until you can see the whites of their eyes" they said. We were going to fight Anubis they didn't know. Dog-face. No whites in his eyes. We realized too late what was the situation we'd gotten into.
