The Nineteenth Byte

Idea: Every time you earn a star while the Team Spirit script is on, you earn a point. Points can be spent on microtransactions like changing your team.

ATaco

The the entire game would be Blue team.

Phoenix

Good point

With all that blue in the Starbox ;-;

@Geobits change your icon colour!

No

ATaco

I think it's fitting that Downgoat is on red.

It fits their avatar.

ATaco

You're slightly less fitting.

Random question: Would you say it's possible to calculate permutations for a set without storing intermediate result, so without variables, with pure recursion?

ASCII-only

@Appleshell all permutations?

Appleshell

yeah

ASCII-only

@Appleshell what do you mean by intermediate result

Appleshell

No storing of values at all, except as parameters to another function call.

ASCII-only

@Appleshell without variables? i don't think so, this is the closest i could find

@Appleshell except as parameters?

Appleshell

1:43 AM

I mean, arguments. I'm working on a minimal purely-functional language without variables and loops, and wondered if it's viable enough for solving some common problems, but I got stuck at the problem of computing all permutations.

ASCII-only

@Appleshell oh, so you can have variables as arguments but you can't modify them?

if so, as long as you have decrement then you should be able to use Heap's algorithm

Appleshell

On first sight it looks like I might be able to get that to work, thanks!

ATaco

@Appleshell See: Tacit/Point-free Programming.

Languages like Jelly, J, APL, and such.

Appleshell

I'll have a look.

@Dennis Few questions. 1. If I'm suspended, can my chat relay keep posting? 2. Can the room "OPPCGMCS Relay 2.0" be thawed? (I'm Mendeleev btw)

Phoenix

1: Why do you need to know? 2: Ping @Dennis

Destructible Lemon

(using the stack exchange app test account to post while suspended is working around a suspension and isn't allowed)

Stack Exchange App Test

@DestructibleLemon This is a question about the one and only job of this account. After it is answered, I will leave. I am not using this to perform other chat related functions.

@Phoenix I pinged him.

Q: Wikipedia URL Search Engine

Introduction Today we're going to build a search engine that will search Wikipedia's list file. This file lists every URL on Wikipedia. However, the hard part is the quantity of data and that it is included in the byte count. I went ahead and grabbed the link we will be using. Download htm...

Dennis

@StackExchangeAppTest No. The suspension is targeted at the person behind the account rather than the account itself. For the duration of Mendeleev's suspension, please consider StackExchangeAppTest suspended as well and refrain from using it in chat.

@Dennis That... wasn't the best phrasing. I meant to ask if it could keep performing its function, i.e. posting messages from the Minecraft server. I wasn't meaning to ask if I could use it for personal reasons.

Dennis

It doesn't matter what it is used for. The account is yours and cannot be used for the next 30 days.

Stack Exchange App Test

I see

...that wasn't the best phrasing either (the account is a bot most of the time) but I see the intention. Will the room be thawed?

Portland International Airport carpet

The Portland International Airport carpet is a carpet at Portland International Airport (PDX) in Portland, Oregon. SRG Partnership designed PDX's original carpet design in 1987, and since then, the carpet has received much media attention. Its pattern featured geometric shapes on a teal background, representing the intersection of the north and south runways seen by air traffic controllers from the airport's tower at night. In 2013, the Port of Portland announced the carpet's replacement with a new pattern conceptualized by the Portland-based firm Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects. The announcement...

Dennis

@StackExchangeAppTest There's no reason to, as the only two accounts that can use it normally aren't allowed to now.

Stack Exchange App Test

@Dennis All right. I'll ask again after the 30 days.

Leaving now. Goodbye.

^ I made a challenge about that a while ago

ATaco

All official bots are now on team red, for reasons.

I'm definitely not baised.

Wheat Wizard

Everyone seems to be on the red team

Phoenix

Mego isn't, neither is Mendeleev

ATaco

Update and refresh, you should appear on blue team.

Phoenix

2:30 AM

I am on the blue team I was just remarking how lonely it is

ATaco

Your team is winning >:(

Wheat Wizard

Oh cool

I couldn't do the challenge in Brain-Flak so I haven't really been payin attention to it

Phoenix

Idea: Since team is based on ID, we can use the Data explorer to calculate how many stars each team has

Now we need someone who knows SQL

What's this team thing going on?

ATaco

I made a userscript that semi-arbitrarily assigns users to teams.

Wheat Wizard

You are on Blue

Hello!

Qwerp-Derp

I just got the userscript and I'm blue... huh

I might want to enter the challenge using ClojureScript, just for the lols

ATaco

I should point out, the teams aren't necessarily the same as the King of the Hill challenge.

Wheat Wizard

Whats the difference

ATaco

This uses Chat's UserID, the KOTH uses PPCG's.

Also, Red has 23013 stars, Blue has 37062

Phoenix

;-;

ATaco

2:40 AM

Blue has Mego, Leaky Nun, some other big hitters.

Wheat Wizard

Blue has ais523 as well

ATaco

And Doorknob, and with that, "okay seriously stop abusing stars"

The top 7 starred messages are all blues.

Wheat Wizard

Ah big hitters as in stars

@WheatWizard yea I learned from yoru challenge

CMC: Find a room where with all visable messages are the same color scored in number of people.

My best: 3

ATaco

I think Stacked still is all blue.

Wheat Wizard

And if the chat history went back further it would be 4 because QwerpDerp is also blue

@ATaco feature-request Add coloring to transcripts

ATaco

chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/57723/stacked is entirely blue.

And evidence that the little score bar isn't perfect.

As the creator of this script, I declare myself Red Team Leader.

Phoenix

Can I be Red Team Lieutenant?

ATaco

Red team is a flat structured dictatorship.

Would photoshoping a Soviet flag with "Red Team" and a taco be too "On the nose"?

Nah

Go for it

It's a userscript

ATaco

New userscript I wrote assigns users to teams, I'd like to say I was aiming to promote an increase in constructively competitive communication, but really the entire goal was to see what would happen if a community was arbitrarily separated by colour.

I repeatedly, and still advise against installing it and participating, but it's there if you want to.

Helka Homba

3:02 AM

Seems familiar...

ATaco

Surprisingly not the KotH that inspired it.

If you're curious, you're blue team.

Helka Homba

@ATaco well, through codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/117482/26997

ATaco

That's the one!
