7:00 PM
I got 6 people! My actual blog: pyke.catbus.co.uk/blog
 
Thanks for the 5 views on My Blog: Bloggoat ;P
 
@Lembik np part of all
 
@muddyfish that is same link as previous rickroll...
 
It's not
 
the entire domain is rickroll...
 
7:01 PM
 
wait wat
 
its my compressor for english
it only takes english
 
@Downgoat removed
 
assert(word in words)
AssertionError
 
>>> assert(goat in barn)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'goat' is not defined
python is borked
 
7:03 PM
D:
brb
 
@Downgoat assigns Downgoat to goat and adds it to the list called barn
>>> assert goat in barn
>>>
Ah, so much better.
 
question: why is python prompt >>> instead of just > or python>
 
PS C:\Tools\Scripts\golfing> $goat -in $barn
True
 
@Downgoat No idea.
 
@Downgoat It shows how assertive you are that you're indeed typing in the python interpreter
 
7:10 PM
cheddar> @goat
@goat
 
Question: How much data can you upload to a Github repo before they get mad at you?
 
@zyabin101 i can confirm they actually work
@LegionMammal978 they'll contact you at around 1GB
iirc
though they don't allow files > 100MB so you'll need to compress your videos
 
So I shouldn't have any problems with a "small" 31MB file, correct?
(It's 31MB after run-length encoding)
 
@LegionMammal978 nope
 
@LegionMammal978 for infinite (lossy) compression just redirect the file to /dev/null

7:15 PM
My take on the rickroll (warning: very slow, uses much screen space, eats ~500MB RAM on Firefox, do not attempt on mobile):
 
zyabin101@avista MINGW32 ~/git/hello-world-java (master)

10/10 most descriptive commit message
 
@LegionMammal978 -1 no music
 
@Downgoat working on that right now
 
@Downgoat Music would probably take another 750 MB, also I only have 512 MB left until I crash my PC.
(in terms of RAM)
 
._. how much ram do you have?
 
7:17 PM
Yeah, currently looking at ways to make it eat less RAM/actually run at 25 FPS
 
@Downgoat 1024 MB.
 
@LegionMammal978 For those unwilling to risk the click, how does this work?
 
@zyabin101 ._____.
 
@El'endiaStarman It displays the grayscale video in the form of ASCII-density art
 
7:18 PM
@Poke ಠ_ಠ
-1 for suggesting illegitmite site
everyone knows no one would sell RAM for free
 
@Downgoat I tried it, works great
 
They're not selling it for free. They're giving it away
completely different
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ halp r u there?
 
My friend once edited my .bashrc to run an ansi rickroll with sound. In fullish colour and adapting to terminal size.
 
7:23 PM
@muddyfish That's pretty impressive. Did they code it themselves?
 
@El'endiaStarman they wrote a gif-ANSI converter and used the beep module
 
Shout-out to this answer from xnor, for the three people that haven't seen it yet.
 
@TimmyD I actually hadn't seen it yet, and that's amazing.
 
@Poke wut ಠ_ಠ
 
7:34 PM
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan thank you :)
 
@TimmyD that is brilliant
 
@TùxCräftîñg Should I do the packaging myself?
 
for wat?
 
@TùxCräftîñg just a friendly reminder
 
Nobody tried the NES rom?
 
7:37 PM
@TùxCräftîñg For your arbitrary base conversion micro-lib.
 
ah
> Please use 16 or more characters, or a mix of different-case letters and numbers in your password.
are you saying that my password is too weak ಠ_ಠ
 
@TùxCräftîñg I'm not sure, what is your password? :P
2
 
@Downgoat good try, but no
 
@TùxCräftîñg On PyPI?
 
yep
huh just need to capitalize a letter in my password
 
7:40 PM
@TùxCräftîñg no is pretty weak tbh
 
@Optimizer ._.
 
Here goes my try to get a package featured on PyPI, let's go back to reading the Python Packager Guide... gone
 
It's in the english dictionary
 
disappears(?) in a puff of smoke
 
7:41 PM
@TùxCräftîñg "no" is not working
perhaps I got your email wrong?
 
@Downgoat yeah, it's the bad email
try at gaots.com
 
still not wokring .___.
did you get hacked??? :O
 
Hmm. Do crackers even try super short passwords anymore? On the one hand, there's surely no service that still accepts them. On the other hand, they'd still be pretty quick to check...
(Don't you dare make a pun off of "crackers".)
 
@El'endiaStarman ಠ_ಠ -1 for offensive joke
 
7:44 PM
@El'endiaStarman ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ probably not, but 256² = 65536, so it's easy
 
@Downgoat Hey, I'm white, no big deal. :P
 
i didnt get the offensive joke
 
@TùxCräftîñg Did you public the ABC micro-lib?
 
@Downgoat what?
 
Hello @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ and @Doorknob!
 
7:47 PM
idk how to publish a pypi package
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ nvm. It was about symbols, fixed it.
 
@TùxCräftîñg why are you using pypi ಠ_ಠ
 
@Downgoat because @zyabin101 want that i publish a package with my base conversion micro-lib
huh this look complex
why there is no pypi init and pipy publish ;_;
 
7:49 PM
nodejs: npm publish python: read entire book on creating package
 
@El'endiaStarman Given that 123456 retained the top spot as the most-popular password, I'd say it's worthwhile to at least try 'em.
 
i give up
npm is simpler
 
@TimmyD Six character passwords? Absolutely. I was mostly thinking of stuff like 1 and 2 character passwords.
@Downgoat Well, to be fair, npm is muuuch newer than PyPi.
 
npm is muuuch simpler than PyPi
 
7:52 PM
@El'endiaStarman Eh, probably still worthwhile to check. At least as of roughly a year ago, a major bank in the US only allowed a maximum of 8 characters for their password for online banking.
 
@TimmyD Wow, that's insane.
 
@zyabin101 you have only solved 5 problems on PE ಠ_ಠ
 
Yup, I'm not so clever to solve more XP
 
ಠ_ಠ
at least, you have solved projecteuler.net/problem=10 , no?
 
@TùxCräftîñg I didn't.
 
7:55 PM
Y U DO DIS ;_;
 
@TimmyD My bank allows a maximum of five. Since they lock you out after a few invalid attempts, that's not really an issue...
 
@El'endiaStarman IIRC Skype still enforces a maximum password length. Just... why.
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@Doorknob Last time I checked (several years ago), GMail also had a maximum password length: 100 characters.
 
@El'endiaStarman 100 isn't bad. Skype's was something around 20-30.
 
7:58 PM
Hotmail does (or used to do) the same. The fun part is/was that they automatically truncate in when creating an account, but not when logging in...
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ well know programer lazyness
 
@El'endiaStarman Sorry, it was UK, not US. My mistake. link source
 
@Dennis Jeez, that must've made some people pretty mad.
 
Including me when my not-so-tech-savvy co-worker cried for help because he couldn't access the account he created a few minutes ago. Absolutely insane.
 
hotmail is evil
 
8:01 PM
I must not be tech savvy, because I have no idea how I would have known what the issue is
I don't Google "Why is my password not working?"
 
why not?
google probably knows ur working password
2
 
i dont use google
 
This puzzle is my life:

Q: Turning a goat?

prog_SAHIL This is a goat made up of 5 sticks. You have to move (change position) any one stick of them such that its head turns to the right side (above the right leg). Notice currently its head is on the left side and above the left leg.

 
doesn't matter, it knows ur yahoo aol password as well.
 
@Dennis Kinda reminds me of the old LanManager password hashing scheme. Which was awful.
 
8:03 PM
i dont use yahoo aol
sorry, but we have bigint
 
@TùxCräftîñg Did you publish the ABC micro-lib?
 
RIP
@zyabin101 no
pypi is too complex
 
Okay.
 
@Downgoat dayum
46
A: Turning a goat?

SamthereI've found a simpler solution that doesn't rotate the entire goat! See the image below for a visual explanation.

 
@TùxCräftîñg Then can I publish the library?
 
8:05 PM
yes
 
@Optimizer OH MY GOD WHY Stickgoat was so nice
 
@TùxCräftîñg Okay.
 
holy shit.. puzzling people are such huge trolls
apart from the one correct answer, all other answers are pure troll
and they have put such great effort in their answers
 
@Downgoat There's some really inventive answers on there.
 
@Optimizer why can't PPCG be like this ;_;
 
8:07 PM
because we have some thing called "ruled" for our "Challenges"
 
Has anyone answered the goat question the way the OP intended (or does the OP himself even know what he intended)?
 
unlike the troll-magnets of puzzling
@Rainbolt accepted answer
 
Ah... right
 
@Downgoat Ugh, the "creative" answers are the absolute worst.
In fact, my diamond there hasn't gone away yet, so I could still technically do something about it... :P
 
8:09 PM
doo eet
 
@TùxCräftîñg But bigint is not the way to solve that problem. I'd like to see you directly calculate the second example in the problem statement.
 
do something about the one which has a goat-kid in it
 
@El'endiaStarman D:
my program take a long time to calculate one line
 
@Doorknob are you not active on puzzling anymore?
 
8:12 PM
Not particularly, apart from handling the odd flag
 
@TùxCräftîñg I'm not terribly surprised, since both numbers are "over three million digits" long...

@PhiNotPi it's down right now because other projects are taking priority
 
8:16 PM
Fun fact: Extemporizing demythologizers demythologized overhomogenized, jackhammering azidothymidines; puzzlingly schizophrenic jazzmen diphthongizing hyperexcitement drizzlingly overemphasized jabberwocky jazziness, hypothesizing philosophizing jazzbos; quizzer psychochemicals hyperpolarized, contextualizing physicochemical jazzman phosphatization; remythologizing chazzanim blackjacking huzzahing quizzes psychologized nephrectomizing, zizzed pzazz.
 
@LegionMammal978 GOD WAT
 
@TùxCräftîñg I HAV NO IDEA
 
I thought that actually said something in Vietnamese for a second until I saw "ppaxiw"

Q: You know the rules, please Rick Roll Me!

Rohan JhunjhunwalaAutomatically Rick Roll Me Write any code in the language of your choice. Which will open up a browser to this very informative page! Shortest code in bytes wins!

 
just some random words, literaly
 
(shameless advertising)
 
That was quick.
 
that was quick
ninja'd
 
:O
this was quick
 
8:20 PM
It was! I got an error message when I clicked "close"...
 
Wow that was fast
 
##Pyke, 0 bytes. Try it here! pyke.catbus.co.uk/code
 
@El'endiaStarman Me too :P
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala Next time, Sandbox it!
 
8:21 PM
Tux's comment was gone before I could even flag it lmao
 
@quartata at your service
 
Managed to get a close vote in though
Got some speedy janitors here today I guess?
 
@El'endiaStarman, yea I probably should have, I am too eager to post xD
 
@quartata Posting the link in here helped...
 
8:22 PM
> NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN!
 
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, I think it's a new WR
 
Lol i think that was the fasted I have ssem something closed
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala I think @Doorknob's record is 13 seconds or something.
 
@El'endiaStarman Oh, yeeeesh
It'll be a while before that one's beaten then
 
8:23 PM
Well, it helps if you can single handedly close something.

DowngoatCheddar, 65 bytes cheddar.internal(cheddar.uid).require("open").c("http://ppcg.ga") Accesses cheddar internals and then calls upon open package and calls it with string to PPCG. Make sure you have open npm package installed

 
@Downgoat I still don't understand the cheddar.internal(cheddar.uid)
 
Feb 1 at 22:28, by Doorknob
@NewMainPosts 11-second close :)
 
Why can't you shorten that to just js or cheddar
 
@Doorknob Dang.
 
8:25 PM
@quartata it has to be a function mainly to get around poor planning which results in cyclic dependency issue
 
@Doorknob Slacker. :p
 
@Downgoat What's the cheddar.uid thing for though?
 
That one was 36 seconds. Still pretty impressive for 5 users having had to vote. :P
 
I'm amazed I got the first one in.
 
@quartata idk
 
8:26 PM
re.split is a thing in Python, right?
 
@quartata yes
 
@Doorknob If you divide it by five, you could say we beat you. :P
 
question: is it ok for an answer to error as long as it works?
 
@Downgoat AFAIK yes
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Well, to be fair, it's not exactly linear. But sure :P

A: Should submissions be allowed to exit with an error?

Martin EnderThere are a few different issues and cases to be considered here. I think most of what I wrote below is based on the unwritten rules we're currently applying (as far as I'm aware of them). But a few things are also my own opinion, so let the votes show what you think. Ignoring STDERR As far as ...

 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Someone's posted that before, it's not Doorknob
Although it is how I picture him in my head now lmao
 
so throw"Hello, World!" is a valid js hello world ಠ_ಠ
 
No it's not.
Additional output
 
@TùxCräftîñg oh shit that's actually really smart
 
8:30 PM
> Uncaught Hello, World!
 
just print "Hello, World!" in node repl
 
@quartata not in JSC
> throw"Hello, World!"
Hello, World!
 
@Downgoat Does in Chrome console
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just have to say Node.js, idk bytes
 
@quartata not in Safari console or node console
 
8:31 PM
Or just say JS but it's implementation dependent
@Downgoat That's weird, the Node console would say Uncaught too I'd think
 
^ that's your best bet
 
$ node
> throw"Hello, World!"
Hello, World!
>
 
nvm JSC adds exception it's only node:
$ jsc
>>> throw"Hello, World"
Exception: Hello, World
 
NODE IS THE BEST

Hello, World!
ninja'd you
 
8:32 PM
ah
k
throw"Heỻo, World!"
shorter if we count in chars, not bytes
 
Actually works now:

Pyke, 23 bytes

Never gonna give you up

this actually look like ll
@muddyfish ಠ_ಠ
 
@muddyfish why
 
@Downgoat Why not? I was thinking of making it anyway

The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called assassin flies. They are powerfully built, bristly flies with a short, stout proboscis enclosing the sharp, sucking hypopharynx. The name "robber flies" reflects their notoriously aggressive predatory habits; they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and as a rule they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight. == Overview == The Asilidae are a family in the order Diptera, the true flies. The common name for members of the family is the robber flies. The Asilidae are cosmopolitan, with over 7000 described species. Latreille was the...
oh god wat
 
8:43 PM
Hmm, Very interesting...I take it one is java script and the other is C#?
 
what?
ah k
>_>
 
All righty, finally got around to making Cinnamon Gum actually good
let's see if it works
 
brb fireworks
 
@muddyfish should issue a warning
 
@quartata Why?
 
8:46 PM
@muddyfish Joke :P
SyntaxError: only named arguments may follow *expression
urgh why?
Oh, I'm using 3.4
Why are the repository managers there so lazy
 
What is the policy on profanity here?
(Sorry im new)
ish
 
Really?
 
Um, what just happened?
Did that actually get that many flags
 
No clue.
 
@Doorknob just wanted to make sure, but is profanity permitted here? Especially for stuff like brainf*** etc? Sorry if its a nub question?
 
8:54 PM
It must have been moderator flagged? I didn't even know there were 5 people in the room....
Ack.
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala I haven't seen you around here... Flag things if something is truly offensive to you
 
It was not mod-flagged, or I would have seen it :)
 
@ArtOfCode It was...
 
Maybe someone was a repo manager
 
I am not really offended, I just wanted to know the policy?
 
8:54 PM
@RohanJhunjhunwala If it's in-context, i.e. brainfuck, that's okay because it's there for a reason
 
If you're using it humorously, you'll usually get away with it, but the official official policy is you should try not to
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala Not really much of a policy, but just because you see a swear word doesn't mean you should flag it - that sort of thing
 
Yeah I didn't flag
I understand people get angry lol, I just wanted to know what the policy was.
 
That's cool
 
8:56 PM
Anyways...
No Python 3.5 means I have to do this:

@Dennis Have you gotten a chance to fix Actually on TIO yet?
 
9:13 PM
I thought my challenge would be easy
where are all the fast answerers
 
Anonymous
@LeakyNun Delayed because Actually is borked on TIO right now and I don't have a local copy on this machine, nor the desire to download Python and install seriously
 
@Mego alright
@TùxCräftîñg et toi?
 
@LeakyNun what?
 
@TùxCräftîñg Ma challenge doit etre facile
ou sont les repondents rapides
 
9:18 PM
Mais c'est difficile!
@TùxCräftîñg C'est ma, je suis sur
 
repondents is not a valid word
 
@TùxCräftîñg Pourquoi?
 
@TùxCräftîñg because logic
@Zizouz212 c'est mon, je le viens de chercher dans la dictionnaire
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ repondents is not valid
 
9:19 PM
@TùxCräftîñg concurrents?
 
i think the correct form is
 
@Zizouz212 not with the final s
 
> ou sont ceux qui repondent rapidement?
 
@TùxCräftîñg i was trying to translate repondre + -ent, lol
 
Oops, I completely read that wrong
 
9:20 PM
but turns out it should be concurrent
 
Damn it... And here I am considering French programs in university -_-
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ french is strange, french is strange
 
@TùxCräftîñg ah oui merci
 
you are welcome
Simile is a tape-based esolangs.

Each cell is a unsigned 24-bit integer.

Commands:
a: Increment the cell under the pointer
A: Decrement the cell under the pointer
p: Increment the pointer
P: Decrement the pointer
f: Start a function
F: End a function and push it on the function stack
l: While the cell under the pointer is not zero, execute the function on the top of the function stack
L: While the cell under the pointer is zero, execute the function on the top of the function stack
o: Output the ASCII value of the current cell
too lazy to create a interpreter
HALP MY CONNECTION IS SLOW
 
@LeakyNun There's a nice short answer for you. :)
 
9:30 PM
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan thanks
French with Spanish accent :p
 
@Mego Didn't know it was broken.
I'll look into it when I get home.
 
@TùxCräftîñg What happens upon integer overflow?
 
945 rep :/
@GamrCorps for what?
 
the above language spec
 
bah the integer wrap
FFFFFF + 1 = 0
