2:01 AM
Infinite
@Downgoat ^ The idea is to be easily useable by as many people as possible, right?
 
I like Base16 as a tradeoff for characters used up by number definition, as well as simplicity to use.
 
@Pavel that is not possible in this universe
1/3 = infinite space required?
 
Oh, I meant infinite precision integers
Being able to store rationals would be cool tho
Whatever you chose for floats though, cut off the last digit.
So no one has to deal with rounding errors
And 0.1+0.2=0.300000000000000000000000000000000001
 
The last digit you say?
0.25 + 0.25 = 0
 
Not like that
 
2:11 AM
Darn.
 
0.25 + 0.25 is actually 0.250000...+0.250000...=0.500000...
So if you cut of the last digit, you just lose a zero.
 
Or use the last bit as an 'repeating' flag.
You don't need to know what's repeating, just that something is, when you do math.
 
Basically, this needs to be able to work. (n=Math.log1p(n)/Math.log(3))==(int)n
 
Hello
 
Hi
 
2:14 AM
Haha I have more rep than Des now
 
wHO?
 
des?
@Pavel #capslockproblems
 
wHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM
 
hE'S JUST GOT HIS tAURUS GOING ON
 
2:16 AM
@Downgoat ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
Dude seriously
 
You asked for ideas
 
how the hell is he supposed to know what that refers to
 
Count the number of carrots
 
Those who know, know.
 
2:17 AM
That is barely more useful than ?
 
Those who don't, can be glad they don't.
 
@Pavel so? there's 21
can't you just quote the message
it takes the same amount of time and is infinitely more clear
 
Oh yeah
 
@Pavel I cannot tell if you're serious or joking...
 
Well, one time I pinged Dennis with ^^^, to refer to the message above, and he told me three lines up was his own message
 
2:19 AM
yeah
 
So I assumed that was how carrots work.
 
3 is okay
but 21 is just stupid
 
I think at 21 quoting it is the way to go.
 
@Pavel ... . what were you expecting him to understand from 3 of them
 
Just one up
 
2:20 AM
why did you put 3 then
 
I though any number of carrots in general meant "look up"
 
why would you put 3 when 1 would suffice though?
 
I figured it doesn't really matter?
There's no real harm
 
Why are we bickering about this when there are corgis without back legs
Think of the CORGIS!
 
because no cute pictures have been posted yet
 
2:22 AM
That's like when I tell people to use tabs instead of spaces because it saves disk space.
 
 
that is cute corgi
i have cuter non-corgi
 
Most every corgi is cute.
 
2:23 AM
@Pavel Just, don't use carrots. Everyone benefits :D
 
beat that for cute
 
That's a good point.
What I was suggesting, is that however precise your floats are, throw away the last digit so .1+.2 actually equals .3 instead of .3000000000000000000000002
 
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Destructible Watermelon, it was too much typing
 
@Downgoat ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
2:24 AM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ if this is picture of you, be careful where you sleep because when San Andreas throws its next earthquake tantrum you will be not-so-happily-sleeping cat D:
 
haha, carrots
 
@Qwerp-Derp taurus = destructible? o_O
 
@TrojanByAccident dude have you even read chatiquette
 
@Downgoat that is babby pic yes
 
Are you still hanging onto that?
 
2:24 AM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Des = destructible watermelon
 
@Downgoat It was a joke e.e
 
makes sense
@ATaco mine?
 
Yeah.
 
it's a pic of my cat heisenberg (profile pic cat), about 1.5 years ago
I've had her since she was a newborn
 
2:26 AM
That cat is very much adorable.
 
thank you
she is staring at the printer right now
 
 
that is either a massive corgi or bad scale
that breaks ever bit of formatting on this page for me
 
@TrojanByAccident still, you're contributing to the noise problem by doing such jokes
 
whatever you sent
can you nuke it please
 
2:28 AM
Does it actually break the whole page?
 
What OS what Browser?
 
you guys having fun with these flags? :p
 
Can I resend it while you take a screenshot?
 
doesn't nuke page for me, I'm on Safari & OS X
 
2:29 AM
that's just boxes
 
@ATaco what
 
Esolang
 
@Downgoat what are you doing on macOS?
 
@ATaco rn I'm mobile chrome
 
@Zacharee1 We here are not as chill as AU room :P
 
2:29 AM
I can render that properly but what the heck is that
 
can you seriously not post unicode like that
 
@Downgoat yeah, but chat flags should not be used for content that merely doesn't belong
 
mobile chrome does not like it
 
@Downgoat AU?
 
@Zacharee1 uhhhh... installing linux? :P tucks mac under desk
 
2:30 AM
@Qwerp-Derp ask ubuntu
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ can you get a screenshot? I'm curious now.
 
I thought it was Australia
 
@Downgoat glares
 
@Pavel no, mobile
:34720460 ............ seriously not cool
 
You can take screenshots on mobile
 
2:30 AM
It, was intentional.
 
@Zacharee1 yeah... there needs to be a way to address people mucking around in rooms when ROs are not around
 
my phone doens't like them <shrug>
 
I act like this with or without mods.
 
@Downgoat use mod flags.
 
@Downgoat it's called more ROs IMO
@Zacharee1 hm, okay. doens't that still summon mods?
 
2:31 AM
@Zacharee1 those go out to all mods on chat IIRC
 
Note to self: this website kills Easterly Irk's phone
 
@Downgoat so do normal chat flags
 
pretty much same as normal flag?
 
along with every 10k user
 
2:31 AM
How bad is Quora on a scale of 1 to full trash?
 
it's fine
nothing interesting
 
@Qwerp-Derp Probably 1
 
Hi everyone!
 
It actually has quality stuff
@Hugo Hello!
 
@Qwerp-Derp My Quora Digest constantly has Trump-related questions
 
2:32 AM
H U G O
 
and my interests are set to Science and Food
 
@Hugo Hello
 
@Zacharee1 ....... orange = carrots?
 
This is so awesome!
 
2:32 AM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ guess the AI thinks so
 
After looking at this question I'm starting to get the impression that Quora is filled with angsty people that think the world is against them and can't deal with anything themselves:
 
@Zacharee1 That is like everywhere now :P
 
What why
 
Alternatively, there's just only trump there.
 
@Qwerp-Derp ...... wat
 
2:33 AM
@Qwerp-Derp TIL Mr President is angsty people
 
Not everyone is angsty, just a significant portion
filled != everyone
 
I am one of 7 Billion people, that's 0.001 Parts Per Million. I'm Scientifically Negligible.
 
@Downgoat your script keeps forgetting that it's supposed to affect chat
And it loses the tags I set for the question of the day widget
 
@Pavel you clearing your history/cookies/localstorage/sessionstorage/etc.?
 
It's doing it like twice a day
Ah well. It's not that big an issue.
 
2:37 AM
are you clearing your localstorage/cache? that causes it
 
I did it once earlier when I was refreshing TIO, but other than that no
 
hm, yeah, the chat is broken for me also
 
Userscript doesn't clear or delete any storage, so it's probably not likely possible unless your browser is doing something weird
 
same with tags
@Pavel chrome, right?
 
Ye
 
2:38 AM
@Downgoat I love how you're saying that I'm contributing to noise, while you guys are posting pictures and talking about animals -.-
 
noise != cute images
 
It remembers how many challenges I want for the challenge of the day, but not which tags
Oh yeah, I just refreshed and it lost it again
 
being annoying with giant caret messages/making jokes in bad taste isn't really noise, but it's annoying
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ 'cute' is subjective
 
@TrojanByAccident Chatiquette explains this all, please read it if you haven't already
 
2:39 AM
yeah, but I'm fairly certain nobody can deny most people think my cat is cute
 
@Downgoat I have
 
@Downgoat ehhh he has a point
it's more of the definition of noise
it's being applied to everything
 
@Dennis perhaps swap "General discussion ..." and "Guidelines ...."
> Avoid posting messages that add nothing to the conversation (^, ಠ_ಠ, rofl, etc.).
 
he wasn't posting noise per se, he was just making joke in ill-taste
 
ಠ_ಠ contributes. What are you talking about.
In moderation, that is.
 
2:41 AM
not significantly
 
@Downgoat Doubtful that that would have any effect.
 
1) it doesn't help barraging me with absolutely useless pings. 2) It's specifically specified as annoying and noise 3) Idle chatter and noise are not to be mixed
 
@Downgoat lol your bounty is the only current one, today/yesterday all 6 others disappeared
 
@Doorknob probably not, though I don't think people are really seeing the link
 
The link is there. If people don't want to read the sidebar, there's nothing we can do about it.
 
2:44 AM
I dunno if a bot which pings new users with Chatiquette link would help or contribute to noise, the JS room on SO has it which probably has helped keep noise down but we don't have the same level of new users entering here
 
I'm actually not sure who that bounty is supposed to be for.
 
it probably wouldn't
 
@Pavel Read each word carefully
 
0
Q: Make a string a e s t h e t i c

blehBasically, between every character, add a space, but there can't be two spaces. aesthetic becomes a e s t h e t i c. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog becomes T h e q u i c k b r o w n f o x j u m p s o v e r t h e l a z y d o g. I'm Nobody! Who are you? becomes I ' m n o b o d y ! W ...

 
one word will stand out and that is word is one of the unique characteristics of the answer it'll be awarded too
 
2:45 AM
hahahaha
 
anyone here on an FRC team?
 
A ctrl+f for goat only returned the text in the bounty
 
@Pavel mine
@Pavel .... how? it's in the answer + comments o_O
 
Must be on page two
 
it's the most upvoted answer though?
and it's the one I linked
 
2:47 AM
I see it now that you've linked it
 
@AshwinGupta I used to do FLL & FTC if that counts :P
 
literally anything you can come up with would be amazing at this point.
 
O_O the robot uses JVM?
oh my
 
tfw you forget you have a dupe hammer
Anyhow, I think this is a duplicate of this
 
2:53 AM
@Downgoat yup.
it's actually fairly fast. I have the option of switching to C++ at any point if stuff really slows down
 
a e s t h e t i c also has to have already existing spaces removed.
which, for the jelly answer, is one more byte.
 
@ConorO'Brien yeah it's a dupe
 
@ATaco so? it's pretty much the same thing
 
@ATaco answers can, more or less, be ported directly.
 
2:57 AM
Yeah, I agree.
 
@AshwinGupta okay, what is the port that you are connecting to attached too?
 
Is there an SE for programming languages/esolangs/programming language design?
 
@AshwinGupta uhh itk but the 2017 changelog says they changed the DigitalSource interface?
 
@Pavel software engineering, but they're total sophists :P
 
esolang.stackexchange.com when?
