Edit Profile & Settings -> Preferences -> Tags then fill out favourite and ignored as you want
 
Yeah, figured it out. Thanks
God dammit, I can't escape the JS infection

Q: Isolate css scope

marka.thoreFor a very mysterious reason, I have to limit the scope of a css file only to an element: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="one.css"> </head> <body> <div id="first-container"> </div> <div id="second-container"> <li...

Why would you tag this
It has nothing to do with it
Nor does it have anything to do with JS actually. It's a CSS question
 
You're saying people just add random tags so more people see their question? Shocking :P
 
When you expect tags to be used properly, you will be disappointed.
 
are you saying CSS is not a subset of php? ^___^
 
HTML! CSS! PHP! JS! ... By your powers combined, I am Captain Internet!
 
4:07 PM
Apparently, I can now time rooms I own out.
 
@FryAmTheEggman ooh, ignored tags are great :)
 
@zyabin101 That's new. Huh.
 
@LeakyNun Congrats on hitting 10k. :)

Hopefully I'm not too far behind you. :P
 
Well, good start to my SO career.
I typed up an answer and as soon as I went to click submit the question got 3 downvotes and was deleted
(wasn't even that bad a question)
And all the other questions I've encountered are incomprehensible or have errors that can't be reproduced
Fun times
 
ven
what was it?
 
4:19 PM
Just some regex question
 
ven
did you type an answer or a question?
 
I meant the question I was posting the answer on got deleted
I never got to post the answer
 
ven
ah...
 
I started on SO, but my greatest rep is on PPCG
 
about to post this, any last minute changes?
 
4:23 PM
make it shorter :p
 
You
Make it more detailed.
 
._. any suggestions as how to do that?
 
@You Me, how is it ambiguous?
 
You
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's not. I just wanted to annoy @aditsu.
 
4:25 PM
@You oic.
 
You
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ :P
 
> “You mean you didn’t press the pop button? Back to your lab minion!”
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ hey, what's the purpose of the two input words?
 
@NathanMerrill so that the programs have a purpose.
 
oh, I missed the "PY outputs the first word and program PZ outputs the second word"
 
4:27 PM
oic
should I make it clearer?
 
You
What is oic?
 
"oh, I see"
o i c
majik
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I think I'd personally allow languages to repeated
 
You
Ouc. (Oh, You sees...)
 
Ouch
Oh, you see him...
 
4:30 PM
@NathanMerrill well, the only problem with that, is that the challenge would have a tendency not to end. With a language limit, we will eventually run out of languages, with an eventual winner declared. Someone could cyclically repeat a language pair, if done correctly, until other nodes became unextendable, then win trivially.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ it would require multiple people on in it (and nobody interrupting)
 
You
@Optimizer TACSOTB (TAC still on the brain.)
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ sounds like fun. let it me..
 
@NathanMerrill not necessarily. it shouldn't be hard to extend the child of your own node.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I'd be ok with disallowing repeated grandchildren
but it'd be way fun to get the character set way down, and try to force Java or C++ to work
 
4:32 PM
@NathanMerrill perhaps, "you cannot use a language already used in the branch you are extending"
 
But how far back does a branch go
 
forever to the top node.
 
Chat mini-challenge: Given an input list of integers a, and two additional integers x and y, output all integers in range [x, y) that are not in a. Example -- (1,3,5,7) 0 8 should output (0,2,4,6)
 
let it be*
 
So if the first answer gives Java and C, both the Java and C answers can use Python?
That might get kind of confusing when you have to identify which branch you're working in
 
4:36 PM
@TimmyD Y,X>A-
 
You
@TimmyD I could probably make some ridiculously long program to do that in Swift or Java, but I don't have enough room in the margin of the chat responses.
 
@BusinessCat you still have to identify the branch regardless.
 
@Optimizer What language is that?
 
You
4:39 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ But comic sans is my favorite font! :(
 
:(
 
You
I like to love what others hate. :)
 
@TimmyD -rFE works in pyth, if X and Y are allowed to be in a list
 
@You are crazy
 
4:40 PM
@You beautiful
 
You
At least I didn't set my computer's system font to Comic Sans!


(At least, not yet. I haven't tried...)
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
@FryAmTheEggman Sure
 
What if PPCG's new design uses Comic Sans?
 
You
:P
@BusinessCat That would be AWESOME!!!
 
4:41 PM
Oh, even if it isn't -rEE works too :P
 
ಠ_ಠ
i am trying to create a sort of circuit in langton loop: tuxcrafting.wordpress.com/2016/07/26/…
 
So @You love Windows 10 ?
 
You
@Optimizer No, I'm more of a Apple guy. :P
 
KILL @YOU
 
You
You can't eat Microsofts, but you can eat Apples! That's all that counts!
 
4:43 PM
apple is evil. microsoft is evil.
 
You
@TùxCräftîñg Dramatically falls and dies.
 
does anybody know of a language that has a built-in ordered set that allows for a custom comparer?
 
chat macro challenge: given a regex, print all strings that match it
 
Well, that would at least be possible for some regexes
 
4:46 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Take a look at xeger
 
You
There are macros?
 
@NathanMerrill Java?
/runs away
 
You
Mmm, Java. The pinnacle of verbose code. The language I probably most fluently speak. :P
 
You
I should have chosen JavaScript over Java. :(
 
4:49 PM
java is great
 
chat mini challenge: write a program that, given a valid regex over containing only a, b, and {m,n} (with m and n being numbers), print all valid strings that match it.
 
You
@aditsu Yep.
 
oh, how did I not know that?
 
LinkedHashSet is also sorted iirc
not really sorted sorted, but as inserted..
 
You
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Can there be infinite amount of regexes that match a string?
 
4:50 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Surely the second "regex" is meant to be string? :P
 
@FryAmTheEggman yes, indeed :P
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Ugh, Cinnamon Gum would do this in like 3-4 bytes if I ever got around to implementing something
 
@quartata yes, I had that lang in mind :3
 
I'll implement ` in a second then
 
@TùxCräftîñg You should put your arbitrary base conversion snippet in a micro-library on PyPI.
So that I can import conv and get arbitrary base conversion momentarily.
 
4:56 PM
Oh wait, I already have f`g as a dedicated mode
Dammit, I messed up the regex quoting.
Need a new mode then.
:/
 
@quartata exrex is a pretty cool module.
 
Probably a bad Pyth answer: pyth.herokuapp.com/…
 
@FryAmTheEggman For a question to expand glob {m,n}?
 
Conor's chat mini challenge

chat mini challenge: write a program that, given a valid regex over containing only a, b, and {m,n} (with m and n being numbers), print all valid strings that match it.
 
5:05 PM
Ah k :)
I missed while I was in the GoL room.
 
5:29 PM
@quartata So, you could say that mode is f`g dedicated?

SEJPMIntroduction and Motivation I'm mainly active on Cryptography.SE and as such have already stumbled across the question: "How the hell am I supposed tools like cado-nfs to do stuff!?".

Q: Draw the national flag of France

steveThere have been many other flag challenges posted but not one for the national flag of France. This week seems like an appropriate time. Produce this flag in the fewest bytes possible: The image must be in a ratio of 3:2, with size at least 78 pixels wide and 52 pixels tall. Each stripe tak...

A total of two questions were featured today from the newsletter.
 
5:45 PM
Got my automatic egg-hatcher working :)
 
I got two mathy questions, one about complex numbers and one about abstract algebra, perhaps, someone here can help?
 
exempt
 
@muddyfish you just have to wait 9 months...
 
then I'll get my very own Mr Mime.
 
@muddyfish That's cheating.
 
5:57 PM
Did you tie your phone to a ceiling fan?
 
Nope
I attached it to some scalextric
 
I've seen a phone attached to a toy train.
 
I'm worried it might be a fire hazard because its getting rather hot
 
Tie it to your pet sea gull
 
I dont think its designed to have phones blutacked onto it
I could tie it to my pet rabbit
 
5:59 PM
Doesn't it rely on GPS signaling, though? Or is it only via the pedometer?
 
they just sit there
It probably wouldn't get very many steps
 
@muddyfish maybe,,
 
GPS
Currently its moved a total of 0.2km
 
@TimmyD 'you mean motion sensor.. but its via GPS
 
That's either a really long slot-track or a pretty inaccurate GPS read, then.
@Optimizer Yes, thank-you. My brain was only coming up with "Pedo-sensor" but realized that was very not right, and so went with "pedometer."
 
6:01 PM
XD
pedo sensor. Every parent should have one!
 
SMS and email OTP are getting deprecated as valid 2FA
 
what is not deprecated?
 
push notifications
finger prints
 
@muddyfish how is that thing carrying ur phone?
 
6:07 PM
authenticator applications like Google Authenticator
 
@Optimizer blutac
 
@Poke push notification is as bad as email..
 
@Optimizer According to the spec, push notifications verify that you have possession of the device
 
@muddyfish my concern was the size and weight .. not the stickiness
 
@Optimizer it's 32V
 
6:08 PM
email is not tied to a specific device
keyfobs are also still ok
 
kinda scary
 
that's just a draft so it's subject to change i guess
 
@Poke but... 2fa was built to involve more than 1 device for signing in...
push-notificaiton defeats teh purpose..
ur device with saved password gets stolen.. the thief has access to all accounts even behind 2fa
 
@Optimizer 2FA was built to require a different type of authentication. Authentication has 3 basic types: something you know, something you have, something you are. An example of something you know is a password. An example of something you have is a phone or keyfob. An example of something you are is a fingerprint or retinal scan
It's important to not keep all your eggs in one basket. You always have the choice to not save your passwords
or use a password manager application
 
wow ok.
 
6:13 PM
s/type/factor/ i guess
 
cheddar> @symbol == @symbol
true
cheddar> @symbol == @goat
false
\o/ \o/ \o/ cheese symbols work
 
@Downgoat If being exact, cheddar symbol equality works.
Symbols also could have a toString() function that makes the symbol a string.
 
@Downgoat Sorry V is screwed up. I think I know what's wrong, but I can't fix it right now.
Were you trying to play around with it?
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan :(
 
Like, @goat.toString() ==> "@goat".
 
6:19 PM
@zyabin101 It's actually String::@goat
 
Ah.
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan no, just messing around
 
OK.
I did close a bug though, which is nice.
 
@Dennis Did you install the dependencies on Actually?
 
:D yeah I saw that
 
6:21 PM
I also opened one, so there's that....
 
Apparently he did not...

i am back
 
@zyabin101 see this problem would never happen on node because it has npm ;P
@TùxCräftîñg hai
 
@Downgoat cheddar now have concurrence github.com/tuxcrafting/neoscript
 
@TùxCräftîñg Cheddar? Did you mean NeoScript?
 
6:23 PM
algorithm question: If you have two streams of arriving strings, is there a fast and space efficient way to determine when the two streams have seen the same set of strings?
 
my language is neoscript, and downgoat created cheddar
 
It feels like there ought to be a randomised hashing method but I can't see it at the moment.
 
nvm >_>
 
@TùxCräftîñg neoscript will never beat cheddar because cheddar uses babel and neoscript does not :P
 
@Downgoat neoscript use babel
there is a .babelrc
 
6:24 PM
then y u use module.exports and not import/export
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
;_;
> .parser.js.swp
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
were you using vim to code parser.js :D
 
my antivirus stopped vim
 
6:25 PM
too algorithmic? :)
 
and i have forgot to remove the swp
@Downgoat vim is my main editor
 
@TùxCräftîñg +1
@TùxCräftîñg Add *.swp files to your gitignore
wait wat u did ._.
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i am removing it and pushing it
oh wait
 
@Lembik Map<String, Boolean> ?
 
the swp is removed ಠ_ಠ
 
6:27 PM
> It's not a question of where 'e grips it, it's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not possibly carry a one pound coconut!
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan +1
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan brb stealing your vimrc
 
Go ahead, I'd be honored!
 
ok thx brb
 
6:30 PM
how to duplicate a line in vim?
(it's only my second day)
 
ok thx
 
@TùxCräftîñg Y to copy it iirc. and P to paste before and p to paste after
 
Someone should make a "Steal my vim settings!" site, where people could share their vim settings.
 
Or yyp if you hate Y
 
6:31 PM
;_; yy u haet Y
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk what is Y
 
@Downgoat Y yanks it, not selects it. V selects lines.
 
@TùxCräftîñg y is yank, it's used to copy things
 
@Downgoat I don't, doorknob does
 
ik, i use y to copy when i select
 
6:31 PM
¯_(ツ)_/¯ I love this face
¯_(ツ)_/¯ its great to put into code to troll
 
Which, he does have a point about Y
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala I love this face:
 
before i was using $v^yp to duplicate a line
 
._.
 
but now i know a shorter way \o/
 
6:33 PM
@TùxCräftîñg use 0 because that goes to beginning of line. ^ goes to first non-whitespace char IIRC
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala It's not as good as the Greek question mark: ;
 
NO
NOT THE QUESTION MARK
YOU HAVE VIOLATED RULE B3/S23 OF INTERNET: NO GREEK QUESTION MARKS
 
Lol "Rule B3/S23" i.e conqays game of life. @Business Cat I copied that into my code to try and troll someone and they figurd it out! ;(

6:36 PM
ik this is why i have sayed rule b3/s23
 
Isn't there something inherently wrong about needing to duplicate the same line wtice?
 
ok the number of typos in your sentences is insane
@zyabin101 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ why not
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala Yes, instead you should use a comefrom solution that checks if it hasn't already been ran before
 
@Downgoat :O
this is life
now just to fix lambdas
 
6:39 PM
from __future__ import braces?
the parser that fixes it?
 
lol
syntax error:
@Downgoat
@Downgoat so whython is just python but replacing tabs/spaces with braces and newlines with semicolons?
 
$ python

@RohanJhunjhunwala It effectively rewrites the parser
 
@Downgoat This is just so wrong... >_<
Also, there's this minor problem:
 
6:41 PM
y u haet normal programers :/
 
> That means that blocks (functions, if, else, etc.) can’t be nested inside a braced block.
 
Noone commenting on the python with goto?
 
GOTO considered harmful
But hilarious nonetheless
 
goto is the only real way to loop
goto is life
 
I support goto
 
6:43 PM
share the love - GILGIL
 
GOTO is love, GOto is life
anyone else cry when someones golfing lang solution is shorter than the smallest valid program in java?
 
nope

oh just me?
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala Not me.
 
6:46 PM
lol
 
I'd be out of tears in an hour's time.
 
haha
I did feel proud of beeting C and Python, but you beat me with ruby
 
an hour? thats kinda slow
which question is this?

6:48 PM
@RohanJhunjhunwala speaking of shameless self-advertising:
 
huh i mean ---444--- for java
 
pls i only have 3 views this week ;_;
 
+1 view
 
@Downgoat im confused, so you are advocated for use of special (unicode) symbols to indicate special behaviors?
 
6:50 PM
@TùxCräftîñg thx
@RohanJhunjhunwala I'm discussing an ES6 feature called "symbols" which aren't characters, rather a unique value created by interpreter at runtime
 
*[Symbol.iterator]() {
i see ಠ_ಠ
WHY ARE YOU USING A STAR
 
@TùxCräftîñg generator
 
Oh im a a fool, that makes sense
ALthough that gives me an idea for a language where only unicode symbols are permitteed for variable names
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala y u know that ASCII is in unicode, right?
 
zyabin101@avista MINGW32 ~/git/hello-world-java (master)
$ alias crosses='echo "$1 crossed it works..."'

zyabin101@avista MINGW32 ~/git/hello-world-java (master)
$ crosses jaws
 crossed it works... jaws

zyabin101@avista MINGW32 ~/git/hello-world-java (master)
$ alias crosses='echo "${1} crossed it works..."'

zyabin101@avista MINGW32 ~/git/hello-world-java (master)
$ crosses jaws
 crossed it works... jaws
 
6:52 PM
@RohanJhunjhunwala oh no why
 
@TùxCräftîñg because Downgoat is such a super star that his code can't not reflect that?
2
 
TIL that echo prefers literals first, and only then arguments.
 
@TùxCräftîñg @Downgoat I would permit anything outside of the range. So the default printable characters (10 -127) are invalid. Only special characters. You need dubious tehniques just to type the characters xD
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala huh, compose key
since everyone self-advertise... my blog ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
question: should a be a no-op so: what is a goat is valid cheddar?
though a is probably very common variable name
 
6:54 PM
On a side note does casting a unicode character to an int work in java (int) '(unicode) will that return an integer above 256
 
a is a common variable name
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala Y U USE JAVA ಠ_ಠ
JAVA IS THE DARK LORD
 
@TùxCräftîñg using the compose key for every variable would be a nuisance
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala oh, y u know, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
6:55 PM

oh hey that's today
 
Lol, I dont have a choice xD. It is my native language @TùxCräftîñg plus its fun
 
@muddyfish interesting blog
 
@muddyfish y u do dis ;_;
 
@muddyfish appreciate the rick roll
