beginning work on the hecksome overlord ai for real this time
 
3:21 AM
Hi
 
I'm sending this message with my tablet, and my new (cheap chinese) bluetooth keyboard
 
well, I'm just thinking that this is going to be quite a task... also how I present info to a bot of whether a tile has no enemy in it, or that they don't know there is an enemy in it
 
hmm
 
wat
@Dennis Please eleven my profile
 
3:24 AM
also not much point of you beginning a bot, cos I haven't put out any docs of how to do that, and the code is really bad
@wat be careful what you wish for

Tomato is tasty

Q: Are we allowed to copy the output of the code to the clipboard?

haykamAsking for a friend... For "Hello, World!", you can save an extra 1 byte by using copy("Hello, World"). However, I am confused on if it's allowed for your output to be the clipboard. The question's rules say: The program must take no input, and print Hello, World! to STDOUT (this exact...

 
@DestructibleWatermelon No, I actually do not know who that is
 
@Downgoat lies
 
wat
Did you seriously replace space with goat?
 
@DestructibleWatermelon No I'm actually serious
 
3:36 AM
ok stop with the goats
 
wat
 
I'm starting to tire of your goat chauvinism
 
I am not Anonymous I swear
do IP lookup or whatever
send to NSA ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
seriously though there is no such thing as a goat literal
 
Running the JQuery $("div.user-116494").remove() complete removes goats.
 
3:38 AM
@DestructibleWatermelon There's a first time for everything
I wouldn't know though
 
Well, from chat.
 
also shouldn't v and V be combined using U?
 
 
@ATaco :'( pls, we do not need to engage in such discriminatory acts. #GoatsArePeopleToo :P
 
@ATaco not a literal
 
3:39 AM
@ATaco Ask @Riker for proof if importance
I did not porpoise that command tho

@Downgoat..?
 
3:43 AM
how about a command that spams goats in the language spec?
ok @Downgoat this is the way to ruin it for everyone
 
@HyperNeutrino Thanks.
 
@ATaco huh?
@DestructibleWatermelon ok sorry but picture of doat was last thing
:/ for some reason imgur is down for me, I thought AWS was back up.
Anyone experiencing similar?
 
imgur is up for me
 
@HelkaHomba :/ that works for me too but images on SE sites (stackapps specifically) are not loading
 
3:54 AM
What's with all the ses being changed to zs on the tomato doc?
 
Looks like Graffiti to me.
 
@Downgoat What are you talking about? That example is 2 lines tall, input is one character
 
4:21 AM
um so @anyonewhoknows when do we get our design
 
@Pavel I'll know when they tell me.
 
like November 2020 or something?
 
 
@ASCII-only I'm pretty sure that's scheduled for November 1st.
 
(never)
asking when we're gonna get our design is like asking when Tantalus is finally going to be able to reach the fruit

@ATaco ... I've been using the userscript for like a year
 
Excellent...
 
I wrote up my challenge. I've had not great response with the sandbox, so I'm a post it here and you lot tell my if there's any obvious problems, k?
 
@Pavel just link it
 
4:34 AM
Then I have to go all the way to the sandbox, and post there, fine.
 
Oh I thought you had already put it on the sandbox
Misread "I've had not great response with the sandbox"
Thought it applied to the reception of that particular challenge
 
most people post in the sandbox and link it here if they need more responses

@Riker Wat's new lang, tomato
 
5:07 AM
@Riker Is F.O.G. just "Let's throw some random shit in a lang!"?
 
@Pavel I think it is normal esolang just the goat part :P
 
oic. Is the Gaot++ functionality built in yet?
 
> Gaot++
 
Yes?
 
btw my new bluetooth keyboard is working seamlessly, I am even typing this message with my bluetooth keyboard
 
5:13 AM
@Pavel "wat"
@Riker I changed my username :)
It's pretty cool
 
Nah man
 
You know you can't change it for a month, right?
 
@MatthewRoh I've been using bluetooth keyboard for a few months now.
@Pavel yes, I'm aware
 
I used a bluetooth keyboard once, all of my gamer friends chewed me out for it.
I have a wired mechanical keyboard now.
 
5:15 AM
Not for gaming though. For that I use gamepad+mouse combo.
 
Change it to "Check out Tಠmatಠ"
 
lolno
I should make myself degdeg
 
also I'm using this bluetooth keyboard with my android tablet
 
@CheckOutTomato But like half the games stop mouse input when controller input is detected.
 
but I'm sad at the fact it doesnt have RGB ;_;
 
5:16 AM
Every esolang should have a gaot command
 
@Pavel yeah but tf2 doesnt
 
@MatthewRoh Bluetooth keyboards tend to not have RGB. RGB is for gaming keyboards, gaming keyboards and bluetooth don't mix.
 
oh darn I forgot middle click is home in android
btw mine doesnt even have a backlight
 
I don't know if this is true, but I think it has to do with battery life.
 
Backlit wireless keyboards would waste too many batteries I'd guess

nah that is cheating

@CheckOutTomato Yeah, just wait a bit
 
@DJMcMayhem Oh, right, I posted my challenge, you can answer it in V now.
 
Maybe, haha
 
I might be awarding bounties for clever solutions with no penalties.
Are there any langs designed specifically for challenges?
 
nah
 
5:27 AM
No, there's bound to be some out there
(Not counting Unary and Lenguage and such)
 
5:44 AM
I mean, anything that deals with ASCII codes, or just patterns is decent
 
I just made a cup of cup noodles, and it's so tempting to start eating them now and not wait for them to finish cooking >_>
 
@Pavel Lenguage might as well be esolangs.org/wiki/Lenguage
 
It's also the least golfy language to exist, maybe ever.

12:56 PM
I have a Python question for you all. I was thinking about how to find the largest divisor of n that is <= sqrt(n). The code that I wrote first was max(z for z in range(1,int(n**.5)+1)if n%z<1) (to be continued)
But I was thinking that if I just tried [n%z for z in range(1,int(n**.5)+1)] to get the remainders and found the rightmost index of a 0 (the remainder from a divisor) that would also work. The trouble is lists don't have a rindex function and I'm not sure how else to do this golfily. Any suggestions?

@Riker Deciding on peanut butter or marmite. Decisions, decisions.
 
marmite
that shouldn't even take effort
 
Yeah, but I adore both lol
 
peanut butter, of course
 
2:37 PM
Use both then lel
 
ew no. Tried that, it's sickening.

just use marmite
 
I'd suggest honey + butter mix
 
then...
 
I'm slightly ashamed to say I don't know what marmite is
 
2:38 PM
How to explain marmite....
Marmite - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite
Marmite (/ˈmɑːrmaɪt/ MAR-myt) is the brand name for two similar food spreads: the original British version, a Unilever product since 2000; and a modified version produced in New Zealand by Sanitarium Health Food Company and distributed in Australia and the Pacific.

Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. Other similar products include the Australian Vegemite, the Swiss Cenovis and the German Vitam-R. The British version of the product is a sticky, dark brown food paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty. This distinctive taste is reflected in...

@DanBrown Please leave political opinions and topics at the door.
 
@AdmBorkBork sorry, lemme rephrase:
Are people being censored for saying 'dammit'?
 
2:49 PM
In general, we're pretty lenient of language usage and swearing. So long as the posts don't violate the main Be Nice policy. And people remember that we do have minors present.
 
If people are getting censored for saying "dammit", how did you do that?

@Pavel Count from front, count from back
 
Actually, how do I answer this comment
 
@Pavel The order of bytes. Most significant -> least, or least significant -> most.
 
It doesn't seem to matter in the context of the challenge?
 
Well, 01001100 01101000 (big-endian) has no runs of 4, but 01101000 01001100 (little-endian; bytes are reversed) has one
 
It can, because that matters for how the bits are mushed together.
Yeah, what ETH just said.
 
Hmm
> 0xDEADBEEF
How can a beef die when its already dead
I have a question
would running a ddns server to direct to the ip on heroku be better than directly hosting the website on heroku
I mean, the first option could use domains more than just herokuapp.com or something
 
3:12 PM
@ETHproductions What's the normal way on modern computers?
 
wait, can I just direct a domain to another domain?
 
Well, that's an interesting question.
 
@AdmBorkBork Whose?
 
Both.
 
@Pavel I honestly don't know very much about endian-ness. It looks like most modern processors use little-endian, but I'd suggest just sticking with big-endian because that's the traditional way of thinking about bytes (at least on PPCG)
 
3:14 PM
Intel processors use little endian for storage, computation, and memory addresses. However, computer science convention and logical processing tends to use big endian.
 
Yes, that's what I thought
 
@MatthewRoh You can use a CNAME record to create an alias.
 
oh
thanks for telling me
I'm trying to use heroku to host a website with .io tld for free
 
@Pavel You could just let people use whichever is more convenient.
 
you know, hosting .io websites are expensive
 
3:18 PM
I think you'd still need to register a .io domain to do that
(I don't know much about setting up domains though)
 
:\ there are node.js ddns servers
maybe I should try directing a ddns to the ip of the original website
 
There are multiple steps. You need to purchase and register a domain. You need to designate the name servers for that domain. You need to purchase or setup a website host (IIS, Apache, Heroku, etc.). You need to create DNS records on the name servers to point to that website.
 
Heh, the only residents of the British Indian Ocean Territory (which owns .io) are about 4000 U.S. military personnel and contractors
