A: What? No error?

celtschkC++ Make sure you compile the following code in standard conforming mode (for example, for g++ use the -ansi flag): int main() { // why doesn't the following line give a type mismatch error??/ return "success!"; } How it works:

This answer is invalid in C++17 ;_;
 
@MartinEnder Are they? I have to think about it for a second, haha
I guess there's ({}[{}]) and ([{}]{}) so, yeah
That's what I meant when I said I really like the nesting nature of bflak
 
@StewieGriffin Since the tree challenge is posted, can you delete the Sandbox post when you get the chance?
 
i tried coding bflak
now i believe bflak is black magic

The XKCD 404 comic just messed up my scraper lol
 
It's not a big deal it was just funny
 
That's hilarious
 
7:53 PM
Yeah, there is no #404
> However, I have always been of the opinion that xkcd.com/404 is an actual comic, if a slightly avant-garde one. I actually went out of my way to modify the 'random' button to include it, but that annoyed too many people—most of whom reasonably assumed it was a bug—and I eventually undid it.
randall trolling people again
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ what?
 
TIL python has an --increment operator--, it's the unary + instead of ++
 
@quartata I've been transcripting all the images
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC ???
 
>>> 2+
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    2+
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> +2
2
>>> a = 10
>>> +a
10
>>> a
10
no
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ You know they have transcripts right?
Retrieve the JSON and get the transcript property
 
7:58 PM
XKCD have an API?
 
> ((This April Fools' Day comic has a dynamic panel structure along the lines of a choose-your-own-adventure format - the viewer is presented with up to 4 options for each bit of dialogue, with each choice opening up a new subtree of potential options for the next bit of dialog, and new panel images are chosen semi-randomly based on a
> graph of potential panel transitions. Readers were also invited to submit dialog options for trees where there were not yet 4 fixed options, thus growing the potential story space. As such there is no fixed transcript for this comic.))
 
not an increment operator, just a regular operator
by default does nothing
 
Oh, Lorenz
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC ah you mean we can overload it as increment
 
I've written a human-assisted bot to crawl the tree
@TùxCräftîñg No...?
 
8:00 PM
;_;
 
Python didn't have operator overloading last I checked
 
__add__
__sub__
__matmult__
 
__a lot of operators__
 
I guess + would be __pos__

A: operator overloading in python

Alex MartelliAs other answers have mentioned, you can indeed overload operators (by definining special methods in the class you're writing, i.e., methods whose names start and end with two underscores). All the details are here. To complete the answers to you questions: you cannot define new operators; but <<...

 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ oh, yeah, totally not considering python is the most purely-OOP language out there (that still manages to not require you to use OOP unlike Java)

i can't spele or type
 
If you’re ever lost on an island, simply write “tabs > spaces” in the sand and you’ll have an army of programmers descending on you to argue
ಠ_ಠ
 
Actually I'm coming around to tabs
 
They're the one true way™.

spaces ftw

9:16 PM
Does anyone here play TheoTown? :3
 
@TùxCräftîñg Adding this as an easter egg to qNetHack
 
btw when a public beta of qnh will be released?
 
6-8 weeks
 
9:19 PM
ok :D
 
@quartata But then we need a marker-like thing that invokes programmers, and the programmer monster itself.
 
Yes...?
That doesn't mean I'm not going to do it
It's just a regular engraving
And programmers are for the most part normal humans
 
You are lost on an island
> engrave 'tabs > spaces'
An army of programmers start to arguing, and you succed to escape
'night
 
Okay, for the TL;DR people, TL;DR: TheoTown is a cool city-building game for Android.
 
@quartata sand?
@TùxCräftîñg night!
 
9:24 PM
@TùxCräftîñg night!
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Hm? no
engraving tabs > spaces or spaces > tabs reverse-genocides humans named "Disgruntled Programmer"
 
@quartata Maybe another way?
 
> Citation needed
 
@zyabin101 why?
@quartata I was just wondering whether you were planning on adding other tile materials
maybe that's a good idea
 
Like, the engraving glows in $, and releases a ray that spawns the human monsters.
 
(Replace $ with whatever color is det duger.)
 
???
@trichoplax any particular reason why? I personally prefer tabs, just wondering why you are starting to prefer them now.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I have a few I'm going to add.
Not a lot though.
 
9:48 PM
Question: Why is the next COD game Infinite Warfare and not Call of Duty 13?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Just a gradual drift - no particular logic...
 
10:36 PM
Tor
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ Infinite = 13
 
@betseg No, Source is better than GO
 
i mean, they are basically the same game engine, physics engine etc
 
Actually Source has different physics
The difference is slight
 
@quartata i cant find what physics engine it uses
what is it
csgo is havok
 
10:44 PM
CSS is also Havok.
 
well
 
But players don't actually use Havok, only props do
Players and NPC use QPhysics (which is a leftover from Quake)
But there are still differences
 
windows 7 and 10 are different too
 
@betseg And HL2ep2 isn't HL4
And TF2 isn't TF3
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ You've obviously never played Source or GO :P
 
10:47 PM
(But Portal 2 is, in fact, Portal 2)
 
Very different games in the way they feel. It's not easy to describe
 
Yeah, never had the money to cough up to fix a few missing GMod textures from CS:GO and such
 
usually source is what you need for that
 
source 2 in csgo amirite?
 
10:49 PM
Fun fact: I'm considered a paying user of TF2 because I once bought a $0.49 stamp
Now I'm no longer considered a newbie by others :p
 
@betseg Source 2 has been vastly overhyped. I wouldn't hold your breath
 
@quartata And I wouldn't hold either of yours
 
Most of the issues with Source is because very few people know how to work with the internals any more. Some of the code is almost 20 years old.
 
I can only really hold my own effectively
 
I don't think Source 2 will fix that, not unless they change everything.
 
10:51 PM
@quartata I died inside a bit when I read "20 years"
That's like 5 Moore's Law iterations
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ Well, it's all still Quake really.
They designed GoldSrc so that they could crank out HL1 as fast as they could, so they just piled the features they needed on Quake. They did a good job of redesigning and adding for Source, but the deepest parts are still Quake whether people realize it or not
The only reason why it's aged well at all is because they way overbuilt HL2.
 
Oh well, I was too young to be around for Quake's popularity
 
does windows 10 have msdos?
 
But really, when you think about it, they've only really had to change the engine significantly in the physics engine (Portal, Dota 2), the lighting engine (Orange Box) or the AI (L4D).
 
10:55 PM
csgo has quake code, does win10 have msdos code?
 
@betseg No, just Win2000 NT 3.1 code
NT kernel, remember?
 
The only thing of those that is really Quake-infested is the lighting engine, and I still don't know how they cranked out HDR + Phong shading in 3 years. I think they were already working on it for HL2 originally
 
maybe nt has msdos code :P
 
NT does not have any DOS code.
Or at least, it shouldn't.
It was supposed to be a complete rewrite
 
ah k
 
10:57 PM
> The architecture of Windows NT 3.1 was designed from scratch, and was originally intended to be a rewrite of the OS/2 operating system that Microsoft had co-developed with IBM; however, the popularity of Windows 3.0 resulted in a change to a more Windows-like architecture, a change which subsequently resulted in IBM discontinuing its partnership with Microsoft.
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ Quake was great, and its engine was great too. But there are little parts of it that weren't supposed to be built on top of and the effects of that have percolated to the top
Plus, I mean, it was Quake. That shit's old. Carmack didn't expect anyone to still be working with that
Most of the new iD engines don't have a lick of Quake's architecture in it
 
So I guess Win10 still has some '93 in it

Remember, this is code-golf, so the code with the smallest number of bytes wins. Leaderboards Here is...

 
You know, I once got bored and tried a 3.1 emulator
My first thought:
> How do I get out of this DOS prompt?
 
win
 
11:00 PM
My second thought (after some Googling):
 
Why do I know that?
I'm not even sure
 
> How in the world is this window system supposed to work?
 
haha
 
Too bad it didn't emulate a dial-up connection to the actual 2016 internet

No, I don't think that's the appropriate reaction
I'll make sure to add "Knit Cap Girl" as a unique monster in pyramids though
 
Easiest way to get me to add a monster: just mention something while I'm coding something boring

@betseg
typo there
 
What's the topological genus of a human body?
........yes, I'm aware that was a pretty random question. :P
 
I've seen this asked before
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC argh
 
11:28 PM
NameError: name 'topological genus' is not defined
 
@quartata Yay, question.randomness -= 0.0001!
 
I think 4?
 
I copied that sentence from github, which was copied from Google+, which was copied from Twitter, which was copied from Facebook
All of them have the typo ;_;
 
@betseg damn
@El'endiaStarman webbrowser.open('http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/680653/is-the-surface-‌​of-the-body-skin-homeomorphic-to-a-torus').add_bounty(500)
 
Yeah, I think 4. Nasal cavity counts as two, ear canal and the digestive system
Stil a strange question
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC No it doesn't
 
11:32 PM
shit a ArithmeticError
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC: Don't delete messages for no good reason.
 
What prompted this exactly? :P
 
@quartata Trying to figure out a single word or phrase that encompasses both "without holes" and "with holes". Genus is a possibility...except that it's also the name of a taxonomical rank. I'm not sure how I made the jump to the human body though. Just popped into my head.
