9:00 PM
@Doorknob You should use rust-lang/rust.vim instead of wting
 
@AlexA. oh, thanks
 
:D
I actually use it
 
\o/
 
"ar ar slan" sounds like a pirate
 
9:02 PM
@AlexA. whats it do?
 
@Fatalize Yeah... It's definitely not obvious that it should be A. R. Arslan. -.-
 
You should marry and change your name like Martin to solve that
^ good advice
 
Then I'd be Alex Bell, the guy who invented the telephone.
 
^ that doesn't ring that good
 
._.
 
9:04 PM
HAH HAH HAH. ಠ_ಠ
 
sorry
:(
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you should start a TF2 website bloggy thingy with the TLD .tf. :P
 
@Fatalize All will be forgiven in time, my brother.
 
you know that guy who changed his name to Heywood?
 
Was his last name Jablome?
 
9:07 PM
no, but he also changed it to that ^
 
Wait, for real?
 
is that supposed to be a pun?
"Stands for "Hey, would ya blow me?"" oh ok
 
""
You I had unmatched quotes
 
Not anymore
 
Also not anymore
 
9:09 PM
@AlexA. hmm, maybe not really real, snopes.com/media/goofs/heywood.asp
 
(also, this is a dead giveaway that you are doing CS)
 
@AlexA. it looks like arse-land at 3am, just fyi. >_>
 
@aditsu Holy crap, I even got the spelling right O_O
 
unless this one is real: sirchumpsalot.unsquare.com/name.jpg
 
> officers escorted Heywood Jablome away after he held up a sign directly in front of Burk that read "Make me dinner" before shouting "Oprah rules."
What
 
9:11 PM
(this one says Jablowme)
 
46 secs ago, by Alex A.
What
@Fatalize When am I doing CS? I've only ever taken one CS class and I dropped out in the first week so I didn't have to pay the tuition for it.
Sign up, download course materials, "alright see ya"
 
@AlexA. There's not word in English for CS as a very general thing
 
Well, computer science itself is a very general thing
 
> dropped out in the first week so I didn't have to pay the tuition for it.
Cool technique.
 
Why thank you (⌐■_■)
 
9:14 PM
@Fatalize Quotes in quotes aren't even clear. You could have been quoting "Stands for " and the empty string.
 
> paying tuition
hahahah... sorry
 
Do you not pay tuition in France?
 
mine was about 700€ per year, if your family has low income it's less
and in universities it's more around 300€
 
WHAT
 
@AlexA. welcome to the rest of 1st world countries
 
9:16 PM
@Fatalize I pay over 3 times that much every semester for my master's program ;-;
 
47
Q: Is education in Europe really this cheap?

Jack BauerIs tuition in Europe really US$300 or €200 a year? That is one tenth the cost of the tuition in the developing country university where I took my bachelor's and master's. Is it really true that some developed country universities charge that much to non-scholars? Why? I heard of universities lik...

 
@PhiNotPi Hey want to move to France with me?
 
@AlexA. now I do
 
in ENS and polytechnique, students are even paid as State employees to study
those schools are really selective though
 
Let's just relocate all of PPCG to France
 
9:18 PM
 
@Fatalize In graduate programs in the US, students who are able to get a stipend for being a teaching or research assistant (not all of them get that opportunity) get an income that puts them below the federal poverty line
 
@PhiNotPi s/the rest of //
 
@AlexA. You're not paid for a Ph.D. if you don't teach?
 
@aditsu rekt
 
No
 
9:19 PM
lol
here it's mandatory for science Ph.Ds
 
∏_∏
 
not social science and litterature, cause nobody wants to fund it
 
@Alex I pay €105 per year.
 
@Fatalize can I come bunk with you for like the next 6 years >_>
 
9:20 PM
@Maltysen I live in an 18m² room, so no
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Good god
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ oh wow that is awwwwsome :)
 
@Fatalize That's enough for multiple code golfers to live comfortably. We just golf our living space.
 
9:21 PM
the only way it could be better is if it was Nissin cup noodles
 
@Fatalize no prob, guess I'll just go and roost on the eiffel tower
 
@aditsu and its on sale
 
@Lynn I don't even
 
9:22 PM
@Fatalize I live in a 24m cubed room. The extra dimension makes all the difference...
 
@AlexA. Idk, they have more guillotines and frog legs :s
 
@trichoplax I don't want to see your energy consumption to heat this
@HelkaHomba Guillotines have stopped being used in the 70s when death penalty was abolished though
 
And they got replaced with frog legs? ;P
 
@Fatalize do you have poptart
> \vim/
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ popwhat?
 
9:25 PM
ftfy
@Fatalize ._.
 
@HelkaHomba Never eaten one, but apparently it's pretty close to chicken
 
@Fatalize Nyan cat bodies
 
Can't be more disgusting than Hershey's I'd say
 
Watermelon?
 
9:26 PM
WATERMELON POPTARTS!?
 
wtf this looks like plastic
 
Pop tarts sound gross.
 
@Maltysen yes
they are life
 
I hear they taste like candles.
 
9:26 PM
When I was a kid they had strawberry and cinnamon and that was it
 
@Fatalize not the actual image
@Lynn no
they taste amazing
 
@Lynn No, they taste like sugar with a candle coating
 
had one for lunch
 
@Fatalize regarding the price of education... I'm lucky enough to have enough scholarship money (>11k per semester) to pay tuition + room & board.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ have you ever had shower poptarts?
eating poptart while showering?
 
9:27 PM
no.
...
 
@PhiNotPi 11k per semester scholarship? Damn that's a lot of scholarship
 
it gets all soggy and its pretty awesome
 
iirc that is not what shower poptart means
 
you should try it
 
9:27 PM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Pro tip: You should probably have something more sustaining than a Pop-Tart for lunch. It'll spike your blood sugar so you'll feel less hungry, but it doesn't provide any actual nutrition.
Just sayin'
 
@AlexA. oh I also had a avocado and slice of pizza
 
should probably eat a second poptart
 
@Maltysen ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ That's a really bizarre lunch
@Maltysen Gross
 
@Fatalize I did. The packages contain like 6 bags of 2 tarts each.
@AlexA. I am bizzare. Why else would I be in this chat?
 
9:29 PM
wtf is that flavor
 
Oh come on, that's heinous
 
↑ Who???
 
I would say maple bacon flavor?
 
@Fatalize half of it is from my state (general scholarship based on high school performance), half of it is from my university (as a result of the National Merit Scholarship program).
 
Why would you be Belgian and want to buy Pop Tarts
 
9:29 PM
@Lynn ?
 
@Lynn Yeah, you could have Belgian waffles
 
The National Merit thing is the dumbest way to hand out money.
 
Exactly
 
@PhiNotPi #jealousy
I was extremely fortunate that my parents started saving money to put me through college when I was born. I only spent two years in university (two were taxpayer funded years at a community college) so their funds plus help from my grandparents paid the tuition, and I was working the whole time so I could pay for food, housing, etc. I made it out without debt, which I think is really uncommon anymore.
 
Delete college sport teams, save a crapload of money
 
9:33 PM
Would if I could
 
@Fatalize college sports are a business at this point
America is currently undergoing a demographic wealth distribution crisis (and I'm not talking about the 1% thing). As in, if you compare the net worth of different generations, a 25-year-old today has less "real value" than a 25-year-old had last decade.
 
TIL my sister is worth more than me ;-;
 
TIL Alex has a sister ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
So here's me happily playing with the Stack Exchange data dump, doing some queries on who gives the most bounties over a few sites. Apparently, Jeff Atwood himself has awarded 1.2k bounties to people on Open Source, and I didn't even know he had an account.
 
9:40 PM
TIL I have an account on Law.SE and have awarded 150 bounties
 
...until, of course, I realise that I forgot how to schema, and I've been querying from the wrong part of a table.
Turns out it's actually Martijn. Not Pieters.
 
lel do u even sql bro
 
sudden sadness that Jeff doesn't care about my site
 
Jeff doesn't care about SE at all anymore. That's why he left. He's like a dad who left to buy cigarettes and hasn't come back for 7 years.
 
^ speaking from experience? ;_;
 
9:43 PM
No, ma daddy's at home wif ma mommy and ma doggy
 
@ArtOfCode FWITW I care, but there is nothing I can do there. Q_Q
 
Wait, it's Friday. My parents are probably both at work.
 
Now that I've fixed my SQL, turns out you lot award a lot of bounties
 
@AlexA. oh, so he came back on the eighth year. ;P
 
9:44 PM
@Maltysen -.-
@ArtOfCode We have to because people keep posting challlenges that are hard as shit so no one answers them.
 
@AlexA. did someone say hard challenge?
 
Yes, I just did
 
@ArtOfCode I'm missing.
 
Who receives them?
 
@Dennis award moar bounty
 
9:46 PM
I have awarded 1,000.
 
Now, is this number of bounties or reputation worth of bounties?
 
@Dennis before or after March 10?
@AlexA. rep worth
 
Oh, that makes more sense
 
I should be on there too I think then
 
9:47 PM
7,400 bounties seems like a lot. :P
 
@ArtOfCode After.
 
@AlexA. what kind of bird is she?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Haha yeah, that's what I was thinking.
 
@Dennis that's it then, those stats are from March 10
cuz that's when they last updated the dump
 
9:48 PM
@aditsu A chick
 
@AlexA. probably same thing, March 10 stats
 
@ArtOfCode I haven't awarded a bounty in the last few months
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Thank you for your appreciation of my puns
 
it is June
that's just what I got out of queries...
 
9:50 PM
Oh, I'm an idiot. I've only awarded 150 rep in bounties, not 1000.
 
@ArtOfCode who is xfix?!
 
@aditsu shrug
 
@AlexA. yeah, 150 is what comes back if I query for your stats
 
I overestimated my own generosity >_>
 
9:51 PM
well, that guy is impressive
 
having the dump is actually pretty interesting, you can query for a lot of stuff
 
A lot of people here are really impressive
 
Also I've re-done it so that you can actually do cross-site queries
 
It's a really neat community that way :)
 
I think I gave about... takes out calculator and taps feverishly ... 0 rep in bounties
 
9:52 PM
Turns out the tapping was just to type 80085
 
giggle
 
I guess I'm too much of a hoarder
 
IMO everyone else is impressive and I’m the impostor.
 
^ that's impressive that you're the only non-impressive person here
therefore there cannot be a non-impressive person here
Q.E.D.
 
This is why France pays you to get a PhD
 
9:56 PM
#worthit
France doesn't directly pay me though
a company does, but they get subventions from the State to finance research
 
OIC
 
On this note, I'm off to bed
night
 
The whole state sponsorship thing reminds me... one time I got to go to some kind of week-long camp held at my high school to promote their new Chinese language program. Why was it free? Because it was sponsored by the NSA.
 
you mean NASA right? oh
 
@Fatalize o/
 
10:01 PM
@Fatalize night!
 
@PhiNotPi 1. You speak Chinese? Cool. 2. Haha
 
@AlexA. No, I never followed through and did the language program.
 
why would the NSA sponsor that though? o_O training spies?
 
Not exactly, but intelligence work
 
Not bad
 
@flawr ._.
 
My friend asked her little brother, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Donald Trump!" "Why??" "Because I want attention!"
 
10:32 PM
That was easy
I can't sing and I'd rather not die

Q: N-uniquely additive sets

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'BʀɪᴇɴRemember that a set is unordered without duplicates. Definition An N-uniquely additive set S whose length is K is a set such that all N-length subsets in S sum to different numbers. In other words, the sums of all the N-length subsets of S are all distinct. Objective Given an array/set as input...

 
@HelkaHomba Learn foreign language = Learn Jelly? :P
 
Well, one should probably start with a regular sport before taking on an extreme sport.
 
@Upgoat no
@mınxomaτ Sure but some people here may already play normal sports. (Well... in theory.)
 
I definitely do more than code all day /s
 
10:37 PM
@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ vim is already great
 
@flawr TOO MUCH PLANE CRASH
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ s/\/s//
what about play tf2? :P
 
Turns out correlation really does imply causation >_>

10:41 PM
@flawr D:
 
> Number people who drowned while in a swimming pool correlates with Power generated by US nuclear power plants
 
I finally found a decent argument for copyrighting art: It lowers the slipping fatality rate of NY females: tylervigen.com/view_correlation?id=1388
 
DOE you know what to do
 
Also, here's a very good reason not to buy an iPhone: tylervigen.com/view_correlation?id=28669
 
That... actually could be something real
 
@quartata Oh, good point. New PSA: Stop looking at your phone while going down stairs.
 
PSA! PSA means Please Stand Away, so PSA for each PSA
 
Partially Sensible Acronym
 
Whoa

Q: Swap bits with their neighbours

LynnTask description Given an integer, swap its (2k–1)-th and 2k-th least significant bits for all integers k > 0. This is sequence A057300 in the OEIS. This is code-golf, so the shortest code (in bytes) wins.

 
10:54 PM
@quartata I have [:*//:~=] for checking if a list is sorted in J. Do you think this is optimal?
 
Huh, I must've somehow missed Lynn changing avatars.
 
Hello~
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ think there's something shorter one second
