which one is the best anime in your opinion?
  • Death Note was my first non-Toonami anime (dbz/voltron/etc). It's the only anime I could get my wife to check out. Truly awesome. I was 20 when I first watched it and thought Light was awesome. Watching it now 16 years later and man does it hit different. I now view Light as a complete psychopath and actively root against him. Love that my view of the characters is a complete 180 from my early years.

    Legend of Vox Machina is freaking incredible and is probably my most re-watched "anime".

  • We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!
  • This makes me wonder... wtf was the balrog's day to day like all those years? Was he really just hibernating? I mean, the maiar get bored. I can't imagine being a shadow hellfire demon makes you suddenly never get bored.

  • I spent nearly 6-7 years developing control systems applications in LabVIEW. While I loved working in LabVIEW, I don't wish LabVIEW was more popular, but I would love to see a graphical programming language take off. The dataflow paradigm is really interesting to work with.

  • What is a good keyboard for android?
  • I actually forked your code so I could customize the keyboard a little bit. I was impressed that I didn't have any problems building the thing right away. Doesn't always happen for me with open source projects.

    One thing that was driving me nuts was how sensitive the swipe gestures on the spacebar are. I guess my thumbs always do a slight swipe when I'm pressing space and it was moving the cursor position on me. I wiped out all of that code. If you're taking suggestions, a way to disable swipe gestures on the spacebar would be a cool add. I'll see if I can get together a PR for it as well and be a part of the solution.

  • What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job?
  • You mean Emerson now! :P

    I'm a CLA who spent 9 years developing LabVIEW applications for control systems. NI always annoyed me with their terrible decision-making and inability to catch up with modern times in the software world. (Their merge tool is so bad, it's next to impossible to have a multi-developer project)

  • The ADHD urge to lie about why you didn't do something because "my brain refused to start on it" doesn't make sense to a lot of neurotypicals.
  • You're welcome, but I'm no angel! His ADHD frustrates the absolute hell out of me. Trying to play with him results in a shift in activity every 5 minutes. It's painful when I get invested in drawing Godzilla pictures only to have to go play pretend Minecraft 5 minutes in.

    Reading these is a survival mechanism for me!

    On a side note: I've realized I share sooooooo many symptoms with him. Currently in progress getting tested for adult ADHD.

  • Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?
  • Did you ever happen to visit /r/samandtolki before it was banned? They really gave Boogie hell. They documented lie after lie from the dude. It's sad how much of a pathological liar Boogie is. The worst one I witnessed was him saying people were swating him. Mod of samandtolki did a FOIA request to Boogie's local police department and got camera footage from the officer that visited Boogie's home. Boogie was making a lot of suicide claims and a fan called a wellness check on him. One officer showed up and asked Boogie's roommate some questions. That was it.

  • What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?
  • When I got my mouse, it was so sensitive that I couldn't rest my pointer finger lest I accidentally click. Had to take the mouse apart and put some rubber pieces under it to reduce the sensitivity. Razer Deathadder V2. Works amazingly well after that mod.

    Also I use the MessagEase keyboard on my phone and I'm constantly hitting spacebar when I meant to hit 'E'.

  • Counter-point... sweat, manure, and baby spit don't mess with my allergies like perfumes do. Perfumes should be banned (and I also wouldn't cry if smokers smelling like smoke were banned too).

  • James Webb telescope makes 'JuMBO' discovery of planet-like objects in Orion
  • What's intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them.

    I always hate when science reporting does this. Astronomers are not struggling to explain them, they just don't have enough data to take a hypothesis to a theorem!

    The article even tells us possible explanations:

    One possibility is that these objects grew out of regions in the nebula where the density of material was insufficient to make fully fledged stars.

    Another possibility is that they were made around stars and were then kicked out into interstellar space through various interactions.

    "The ejection hypothesis is the favoured one at the moment," said Prof Mark McCaughrean.

  • For those who work in companies that subscribe users to emails, when users unsubscribe, what portion of them say they "never signed up for this"?
  • You are giving me explicit consent, though, as payment for downloading a whitepaper.

    You don't understand the word "explicit" do you? Unless I check a box that says "please send me bullshit", I am not explicitly giving you consent to send me bullshit. You're also not giving me an option to pay for the whitepaper to avoid being sent bullshit.

    Or if you’ve been prospected, I have to maintain a reason for emailing you in the CRM, and I’d invite you to consider the ramifications of “businesses can’t contact other businesses.”

    The ramifications are that your shitty industry dies over night, and I'm okay with it.

    What if you need your windows cleaned? Or your fleet vehicles need to have their tires checked? Or you need a new warehouse to expand your business?

    Okay, now I've lost respect for you as a person. If I need any of that I'm going to ask my peers for references because I trust references way more than some jackass sending me the same e-mail 12 times over 6 weeks. If I can't get references, them I'm going to use a search engine. Did you forget that exists?

    You personally in your every day role may not want that, but businesses, in general, do.

    But for all your bragging about being able to drill down and locate very specific individuals, none of you drill down and search by "this person in particular NEVER responds positively to spam". So until you start doing that, I'm affected by your immoral practices and I get an opinion too, whether you like my opinion or not.

    I am emailing you about your job if you are in charge of expensive ($10MM+) software applications and are interested in downsizing your compute and storage costs. Are you those things? If you are a CDAO of a billion dollar company, you probably would like to consider the product I work for.

    We're having a conversation about your industry in general. Not whatever goalpost you move the conversation to.

    It's clear to me from this conversation that your industry is not able to morally justify themselves and instead of owning your shitty behavior you have convinced yourselves that you're doing people a service. You are not good people. :(

    Also, I did notice you conveniently ignoring my comments on sending 12 freaking e-mails. I'd love to see you justify that nonsense.
