This map preserves the shapes of Tissot's indicatrices pretty well, as long as you draw them in before running the resize.

@bwDraco That post was not automatically flagged by metasmoke.

Which is good, because it's not a clear cut case. I didn't flag it either.

@bwDraco India’s really not doing so hot in this particular model. Most of it’s less distorted than I’d expect, though!

user315433

I like the map, it brings the countries closer together. Things would be a little different if people could hop between U.S. and Europe on a weekend without thinking much of it.

I like this map because it's much easier for the terrorists to travel to other part of the world

user202362

coz ocean boats are expensive

user202362

@bwDraco also racism!!! why is africa so far from the U.S.?? </trollololo>

user202362

there is a huge space in between the two

It's quite surprising how few users participated in the Winterbash. Well, to me at least.

@Bart start here

I personally didn't go out of my way to earn hats, just went along with it

10:00 AM

@Derpy sure, you might not like it. But even the hat you get for simply participating doesn't really have a high count.

@Bart that would bring me to conspiracy theory #2 - Stack userbase is slowly declining

or at least: the % of the userbase that wants to get involved in "Stack Exchange social life" is slowly declining

Dunno. Didn't look at the figures of others years

10:32 AM

@Bart just look at this chat room. You really think that there hasn't been an user-message drop lately?

Sure, but keep in mind that this room goes back to the MSO age where things were far more active

And several new rooms have been spun off from this one

12:24 PM

Do any bugs related only for Stack Overflow sites (main, meta and any of localized ones) should be posted on SO meta or Meta.SE also appropriate place for them?

Stijn

@alexolut if it also affects the localized ones, I think it's fine to post on MSE. If people think otherwise, they'll just migrate it to MSO, so don't worry too much about it.

@Stijn ok. Thanx.

@alexolut oh, and give you free downvotes and salt in the process.

Q: Alignment issue for "questions that may already have your answer"

12:44 PM

0

When asking a new question the list of "Questions that may already have your answer" contains questions with (green rectangle) and without accepted answers. As you can see these types or question has different indent: Related only for Stack Overflow sites (localized and metas too).

@Derpy you are welcome ^^^

1:03 PM

thanks, already took my daily dose of salt today.

@Derpy what do you mean under "salt"?

they probably tried configuring Share Point

That reminds me, I found out why our hosted SP is so incredibly slow. Management went with the cheapest tier available.

They always do

1:11 PM

@Stijn don't worry, someone tried to force us to use D1 sized azure vm for sharepoint development....

Always make sure you put stuff in your proposals that management can ditch. That makes them feel important

@rene and remember to tell them they should ignore the raw almond smell too.

It is just your new perfume.

:D

@Derpy fun video, but I can't understand about "salt" whatever, sorry.
