@user1271772 what do you think is the benefit of starting up a new site on the SE platform now of all times?

user1271772

@user1306322: The proposal was made 6 months ago, when the "times" were not the same. I've put a huge amount of time, effort, and energy into it, so I'm not going to give up just because times are bad. Also, to answer the question more directly: it's a topic which gets dozens and dozens of questions per day, but on several different forums which are all not connected together. You would have to make a username and password on one forum to ask a question about A, then the next week you might

have to make a username and password for a different forum to ask B.

user1306322

I am not aware of any such forums

why is there need to move between them so often?

I'd argue that the "times" of slow development of the whole platform have been going on for about 5-6 years now, and now most recently in the last 9-12 months the management policy changed to favor profits over quality content dramatically. I don't mean just the last couple months, "times" have been not great for creating a new site for quite a while

user1271772

There's forums for various sub-topics. If you want to ask about topic A you need to sign up and ask in one forum, if you want to ask about topic B you have to sign up for topic B. There's not one unified place (yet!).

user1306322

what forums are you talking about?

user1271772

@user1306322 I agree that fewer and fewer proposals are being launched. But in the last two years we had Operations Research, Quantum Computing, and a bunch of cryptocurrency sites.

user1306322

00:25

I know about reddit where you can have one account and be able to post in all the sub-forums (subreddits) it has

quantum computing is sponsored so there was kinda money in it for the company

user1271772

@user1306322 We have two companies willing to sponsor, and they have much more money and are much more well-established than the company that sponsored Quantum Computing (called StrangeWorks): area51.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/29834/…

user1306322

what is the reason for wanting to sponsor a SE site instead of rolling your own Q&A site or sponsoring a site on a network other than SE?

user1271772

@user1306322 If you want to talk about it more, I'd prefer to do so here: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/104555/materials-modeling-chat. Don't want to bother too many people, and really came here to talk to Shadow!

user1306322

ok

user1271772

@user1306322 The reason is because I like the SE network!

user1306322

00:29

you might be in the minority these days :p

user1271772

@user1306322 There's a lot of people complaining about SE these days, but still there's thousands and thousands of users that are not complaining!

user1306322

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog why is it interesting, though?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@user1306322 There's a hint in an answer I've linked in the bio

user1306322

00:41

is it something about SE network and the logic/algos specifically, or do you like studying complicated systems in general?

πάντα ῥεῖ

@user1306322 "why is it interesting, though?" Aspergers and such. You'll need to hunt it down, no matter what. I know quite well.

user1306322

well, I also find certain things more interesting than others, so it's not unfamiliar to me

I'm wondering why the SE network specifically and not say Steam or Reddit or some other large community

Wikipedia is pretty complicated

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

I was interested in Wikipedia for a while. I used to contribute there actively and most of my contributions were to meta administration pages rather than main content articles. My interest in it waned, though.

user1306322

do you have interest in any complex games?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

Doom

@Sonic No offence BTW. I hope you can live with my comment.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@πάνταῥεῖ Um, sure.

I'm also interested in film photography

user1306322

I was thinking maybe you'd be into Civilization or Factorio or Dwarf Fortress genre

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

Doom is a puzzle game. You have to solve the complex labyrinth of a level to find the way out. The enemies are there to stop you.

user1306322

it's one of the things people actually don't like about Doom - its confusing level design

@avazula I happen to know they attempted to meet irl earlier and didn't work out at the last moment. With that context is was more then an educated guess ;)

they put a gdpr presentation I have to give to another company smack dab in the middle of my planned vacation

(Though Noa is now making steps towards USA too)

avazula

the last name sounds familiar

love that firstname. It sounds so good

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

Well she's more famous, and to be honest, better singer. ;)

@avazula Noa? It's a "generic" Hebrew name for female. Not special. My name is special though. :P

avazula

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou It's still beautiful to me :p

First time I see it on a woman though

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Heh, my firstname is boringly common in my country :p

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

11:23

Just because it's foreign.... e.g. "Stefan" is beautiful IMO, but only because it's foreign. I think.

terdon

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Really? "Noa" is female in Hebrew? Is it not related to the biblical Noah?

avazula

Oh, idk. I'm just a fan of names that end in an a :p

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@avazula Lukas?

@terdon not related to Noah at all. Let me see what's the source...

Nah. It's a religious one. Which is funny because I come from an atheistic family

Pretty sure most people move while sleeping, including the hand. So that might get interesting.

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou I used to, I conditioned myself into staying still

@M.A.R. why??

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou It's called a powernap

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Why I used to move or why I'm still?

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou I move a lot period. I'm a restless soul.

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

14:08

@M.A.R. you your force yourself to not move during sleep?

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Close enough

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

I don't move a lot, but sometimes bump into wife... but we're even, she does the same, it's an average of once a week. (Well, those that are strong enough to wake me up lol)

M.A.R.

For example, now that they have put the AVF on my left wrist, I shouldn't ever sleep on my left hand

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@M.A.R. AV what?

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Often. When I wanna move, I get into this half-awake state and remember all of my toss-and-turns the next morning

. . . That's not as scary as it sounds

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

14:10

@M.A.R. ??

avazula

I once slept at a friend's house who only had one bed so we shared it. He got agitated during the night (probably a nightmare) and I stroke his hair and said "sssh ... that's okay ..." while still half-asleep. Things got pretty awkward in the morning when I actually remembered what I've done ._.

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou AV fistula, for dialysis

avazula

Luckily he has no memory of it xD

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@M.A.R. you still need dialysis? Thought the extra kidney solved that.... :/

M.A.R.

No, I'm saying then

Although I still shouldn't sleep on my left hand, I don't have any wounds to heal

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

14:11

@M.A.R. you used present tense, not past. I think.... lol

M.A.R.

And then there are anaesthetic drugs. They do . . . weird things to the mind.

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

Don't they just make you sleepy?

M.A.R.

Yeah, you kinda drop dead.

You don't move a single muscle till morning

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@avazula eh. Sure he didn't.... do it on purpose? ;) (the "getting agitated" part)

M.A.R.

It's very soothing, but very dreamless, and you feel like a truck hit you in the morning

A fluffy truck. But with a cargo of lead

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

14:15

hmm.... reflecting on the past.... never slept in same bed with a friend, but slept for years very close to other people, in a tent (during army service). Not fitting for those sensitive to noise or smells. :D

@M.A.R. ouch

avazula

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Who knows? ;)

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

And aren't they addictive? @M.A.R

@avazula he knows..... :D

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou I think so

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@M.A.R. so you're lucky for not being addicted.... I guess....

avazula

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Really? That's something I've done a lot throughout the years ... never quite understood what's weird in that either.

A man's gotta sleep, huh?

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

14:17

@avazula nothing weird, just a test for how tired you are. lol

avazula

And when you don't have enough space... Adapt. Improvise. Overcome! tiredness defeated

M.A.R.

Never sleep close to @Sha is what he's saying

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

Sleeping 7 hours, when you work hard all day.... you really don't care about anything.

M.A.R.

He probably sleepfights

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

Couple of hours is not enough even for me.... kudos for surviving it!

oh wait, Burning Man might be also for free. Never really checked. lol

Feb 22 '17 at 15:32, by Jason C

Long story, my social community / Burning Man crew here, we want to buy a semi truck and deck it out. That, and it comes in handy on a handful of occasions, for some reason maybe once or twice a year I find myself in a situation where a 3-axle truck is there but we're short on a driver.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou wiki says its not free

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

oh

@avazula for how many years are you doing this? Who selects the destination each year?

avazula

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Since 2013 so 7 years now. Next one begins on March 30th. It's always in the same city.

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@avazula oh, you said "France, in this particular case" so thought it means that it's not always there.

avazula

14:36

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou I meant that I did volunteering in other countries :p that wasn't clear, sorry. Speaking in English is harder when I'm tired.

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@avazula lol all good.... :)

avazula

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Well... I used to. I can't physically be there anymore (I'm too far away) but I stayed to do more "virtual" activities. I design stuff and make their website.

Question to the powers that be: previously we would have generally closed questions like this as "too broad" because they are asking general implementation advice and are probably a better fit for another SE site. That no longer seems to be an option, which is fine, but the question as written really is too broad in general. What's the suggested action?

Magisch

@avazula heh, I grew up as an only child

my personal space is absolutely sacred to me

avazula

@Magisch fair enough :)

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@Mgetz well, there's always the "Other".

Gimby

14:48

Or "Needs more focus".

@Gimby I'd say it is focused, it's just a very broad focus

Journeyman Geek

@avazula lol. I think that word might not be the right one 🤣

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

Q: The newer close reasons don't account for questions that are too general and require lengthy answers

There are some questions that are incredibly broad. These used to be closed under the "too broad" reason, but that went away. These questions now fall right between two of the new categories: Needs details or clarity Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to hig...

Journeyman Geek

But totally have slept on a big mat thing in a shared space.

Mgetz

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou even with other I'd need to be clear as to why and what should be done. I don't have that clarity at the moment

Magisch

14:50

@JourneymanGeek promiscuity means something else?

Journeyman Geek

Also once in a grain storage place 🤣

rene

@Mgetz a broad focus is exactly why it needs to be closed for needs more focus

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch well uhm

If I understand correctly yes

Mgetz

@rene I'd rather redirect or move the question TBH

rene

@Mgetz you could argue it is a kind of whiteboard question. Not sure if it could fit on SE.SE

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

14:52

@JourneymanGeek oh wow.... how I missed it?? LOL... yeah @ava surely meant "proximity", can you please edit it?

avazula

@JourneymanGeek Huh ... another example of a faux-ami word that's written exactly the same way but doesn't mean the same thing ...

Journeyman Geek

I suggest googling it

Uhm... Yes 🤣

I'll fix it 🤣

Not judging either way. English is a bloody strange language

Mgetz

@rene I'd argue it fits best on softwareengineering.stackexchange.com

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@JourneymanGeek totally

avazula

@JourneymanGeek I just did ... that's terrible because it can mean "proximity" in French u_u

Journeyman Geek

14:53

FTFY

Yup

Stupid English. Can't even steal words properly some times 🤣

avazula

I'll never see those songs the same way

Journeyman Geek

....

Lol

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

@avazula no worry, nobody here thinks you really meant that other meaning. :)

Magisch

@avazula did you think they were singing about close people?

avazula

@Magisch ... Not really ;)

Magisch

14:55

actually, that makes some sense

avazula

I mean, "close" as in "emotionally close", yes

Magisch

This is like gift in german

it means poison

avazula

tries to remember the word

das Geschenk?

yeah

avazula

(hope I didn't say anything stupid this time ._.)

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

14:56

@avazula reminds me of old children's song that only after long years I realized how bad it can sound out of context. The song has a line going like "Let's open that zipper". Think these days the song is banned in Israel.

avazula

haha

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

yeah lol

Wonder if it has a wiki... or English reference....

Journeyman Geek

@avazula it's ok. Even native speakers get tripped up

Shadow Wizard is Ear For You

> The world is a ball, it's clear, it's clear,
But what they don't know is what's inside.
For that, for that, for that, for that,
The Richchart opens.

The Rich, the Hertz, the Richerch opens

For that, for that, for that,
The Richchart opens.

The Rich, the Hertz, the Richerch opens ...

"RichRach" means "zipper" in Hebrew, and can be either as one word or two words.

So Google Translate failed on that, "Richchart" is "zipper" and so is "Rich, the Hertz". lol

The rest of the translation is fine. I think.

> resist withdrawal and become reclusive during stress

am i reading that right

M.A.R.

@user400654 Your pronunciation of "reclusive" is a bit weird

user400654

shouldn't it be "resist withdrawal and becoming reclusive during stress"?

M.A.R.

Ugh, you're making me read it

user400654

just the graphic

M.A.R.

> When we are stressed, we tend to withdraw and become more reclusive, so that is exactly when we need others around us.

I found this one

@user400654 oh

Well, they want you to become reclusive, because, uh

Where does that constant misconception of what return or print actually does, coming from for beginners?

I've seen that for various programming languages.

But I think I've covered all the issues I was interested in fixing now.

@πάνταῥεῖ REPL environments where the output of each statement gets printed. In such a programming environment, the difference between "return" and "print" is minor.
