The Tarpit's Silliness

petStorm

04:51

@Lyxal Did Ken Thompson know the word "Howdy"? They invented the hello, world instead of the howdy, world program.

Lyxal

@petStorm well they should change it.

Like go back in time and tell him to use the word howdy instead

2

Yeah. Lets do that

@y'all got a time machine i can borrow

petStorm

@Lyxal I know a time machine. It's called "transcript".

Unfortunately it only goes back to '11... way before Ken Thompson invented Hello World.

Lyxal

@petStorm i meant one that can go back to that day

petStorm

@Lyxal When you are looking at transcripts, you have a retrospective feeling that makes you feel like you're in that day.

Lyxal

@petStorm but can I change what happened that day?

Exactly. I didn't think so.

petStorm

04:59

@Lyxal I know an easier way that doesn't involve costly time-travelling.

Make a bot that changes all hello, world programs to howdy, world programs.

Lyxal

@petStorm okay but what if it's something like BF or some other tarpit.

Aint so easy to change text there.

petStorm

@Lyxal Re-generate the program and then replace it.

You are going to lose the shortest BF hello, world program, but it's worth it.

Lyxal

@petStorm just change the hw challenge to reflect our decision

petStorm

@Lyxal I mean, the shortest program isn't very easy to generate efficiently...

Considering that we need to change all programs in the 70+ BF replacements. We need to write something very efficent, otherwise it will time out.

Or, simply change the comic strip that affected Ken Thompson.

It's the root of all evil.

Lyxal

@petStorm sure

Why not.

petStorm

05:13

@Lyxal Factoid: Considering that strings in the B language had to be of length-4...

He might as well change the length of the output string to fullfill that.

Lyxal

Y'all need to know what decent memes are.

So here's some high quality memes from reddit

petStorm

However, howdy is exactly the same length as hello, so it will probably be accepted!

Lyxal

Not stolen, but reposted here because some people have never had the chance to see decent memes.

petStorm

Although I'm not sure, howdy is a less common word than hello.

Lyxal

petStorm

05:16

@NewMainPosts I'll donate to anyone who ruins (messes up) with my programs. The more you make my programs don't work, the more you'll get!

Lyxal

petStorm

@petStorm Actually, I'll donate some of my programs to you...

Lyxal

That's all for now

@petStorm *deletes entire program*

Welp, it definitely doesn't work now.

Where's my money?

petStorm

@Lyxal Gives you the program you just deleted

I clearly said that I will be donating my programs to you.

Lyxal

@petStorm oh sure

*Deletes every single program you have*

Whatcha gonna do now?

petStorm

05:23

@Lyxal The donation is measured in bytes, so the more you delete, the more you get.

Rollbacks to previous system state, gives you every single program I had in the previous state.

Lyxal

@petStorm *deletes all backups and then all files* checkmate.

HighlyRadioactive

Howdy!

♫People in chat, apparently few~♫

petStorm

@Lyxal Aaargh, but I have 100 separate computers with the same file!

Lyxal

@petStorm hmm.

This'll take a bit of thinking.

petStorm

@Lyxal Breaks your computer, checkmate.

Lyxal

05:25

* somehow deletes every single computer* go fish.

But who said I was on a computer?

HighlyRadioactive

%0|%0

Lyxal

*makes phone unbreakable*

Hahahahaha i win

HighlyRadioactive

I win.

petStorm

@Lyxal But I still have iPads over here.

Lyxal

@petStorm *sets up a system where everything you have gets auto deleted no matter how it's stored*

HighlyRadioactive

05:27

@petStorm Pour hydric acid over your iPad.

or DMHO or whatever.

petStorm

@Lyxal iPods are clones of phones that you can actually use. Obviously you made iPods unbreakable for the same reason.

Lyxal

Ha! We sunk your battleship @petStorm

@petStorm but everything you have is deleted

So, uh

...

petStorm

@Lyxal With nothing left, I'm going to program with Mathematical Notation with paper & pencil.

Lyxal

@petStorm h*ck

Foiled by something I can't delete

2

Hmm. Guess I'll go get some flamethrowers to burn the paper.

petStorm

@Lyxal I can write stuff on my pencil.

HighlyRadioactive

05:29

@petStorm Add the light bulb character before your program.

Lyxal

@petStorm foiled again by a pencil this time.

petStorm

@Lyxal If you burned all the paper, I still have the ground that I can write with my hand.

HighlyRadioactive

Lyxal

@petStorm puts you in black hole

You can't do anything now.

You don't exist.

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive Adding that will just cause Lyxal to burn my paper.

@Lyxal waits until white hole appears

I re-arrange myself and I exist again.

HighlyRadioactive

05:31

White hole pushes you onto the 1+ stack

"<*

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive and the 1+ stack puts me to the bottom. /

HighlyRadioactive

!

Lyxal

@HighlyRadioactive brilliant.

HighlyRadioactive

I rotate the stack upwards \

Lyxal

There is a language based on DNA

HighlyRadioactive

05:33

@petStorm It's "<*. you need to learn 1+.

petStorm

@Lyxal esolangs.org/wiki/COVID-19

Lyxal

So i delete the program that is your DNA

HighlyRadioactive

@petStorm WTF

I move the page to User:A

User:ais523 came and...

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive changed his username to User:a.

HighlyRadioactive

Alright.

I partipicate in Rosetta@Home in order to delete COVID-19 without admin.

petStorm

05:38

@HighlyRadioactive Only admins can delete copies of COVID-19 without the help of admins.

That's why admins always live on, forever.

HighlyRadioactive

A bettttttter one: I hacked Esolangs.org.

petStorm

I'm the zyabin on esolangs.org.

HighlyRadioactive

What is zyabin?

♫Anyone here, apparently not~~♫

Lyxal

Hmm

petStorm

zyabin is a likable person on CGCC who is very talkative. They are very good at creating dramas in chatrooms.

Lyxal

05:52

You know, Joe's pretty active around here.

petStorm

What is Joe?

♫People in chat, apparently few~♫

Lyxal

@petStorm Joe Mama.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That's a good joke

petStorm

@Lyxal who's Joe?

Feb 29 at 8:09, by Lyxal

@Lyxal Joe mama!

Feb 29 at 8:09, by Lyxal

Hahaha hahaha haha hahahahahahaha hahaha I'm so funny (that's sarcasm)

Lyxal

Wait

I've already done that joke?

Oh.

:(

petStorm

@Lyxal That's sarcasm.

Lyxal

05:55

Indeed

Foiled by my own words.

petStorm

Sdofg is an awesome Operating System, you should try it!

Lyxal

@petStorm sure

petStorm

Lyxal

But I thought that it was full of updog

petStorm

^^ A component of Sdofg OS.

Lyxal

05:59

Yeah, that's the one that had issues with updog

petStorm

What is updog?

2

Lyxal

@petStorm nothing much. What's up with you?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Got em

petStorm

@Lyxal I am bored. I didn't realize it's a joke...

Lyxal

My lack of humour strikes again.

@petStorm ah.

HighlyRadioactive

Alright.

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive Discuss it here, we're trying to get to 100 messages...

HighlyRadioactive

Alright.

Do anyone want to create a Narcissus program?

petStorm

06:06

@HighlyRadioactive Narcissus wants to create one.

HighlyRadioactive

Damn.

Bubbler

@HighlyRadioactive We already had that one.

HighlyRadioactive

@Bubbler Read context please.

petStorm

@Lyxal Your messages are going to get mad of you...

Because you posted so many messages.

They get stuck around in your phone, your phone black-screens.

HighlyRadioactive

Lyxal

@petStorm that's not how Android works

petStorm

Since phones are unbreakable, there isn't any place to replace your phone.

Lyxal

@petStorm 81. Now 83.

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive Actually, @Adám should request wizzwizz4 to do that, just like the previous off-topic message set.

Adám is well known for being dissatisfied with off-topic conversations, and they're the best hook to contribute messages to the chatroom.

Oh wait, the "Narcissistic Quine" challenge on CGSE is not "Narcissus program" on Esolangs.

petStorm

The conversation's GTG, any mods here?

HighlyRadioactive

Why am I logged out?

Bubbler

@HighlyRadioactive I don't see the difference except the output format.

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive I said the magic word.

HighlyRadioactive

@Bubbler The output format matters a lot here.

@petStorm Go hell.

Lyxal

06:55

Do y'all ever think of an interesting challenge idea only to find it's a duplicate?

2

Because I know I do.

HighlyRadioactive

I do.

petStorm

@Lyxal Never. My challenge ideas are taken from my 3 magic books.

All ideas over there have never appeared before on CGCC.

Bubbler

@HighlyRadioactive Why? 1 and 0, accept and reject, true and false all have the same meaning.

Lyxal

@petStorm well I base my challenges on real life events

So I guess my life is a dupe of cgcc

HighlyRadioactive

@petStorm Namely, Google, Wikipedia, OEIS.

petStorm

06:56

@HighlyRadioactive -- Bubbler

HighlyRadioactive

@Lyxal My life is a dupe of Cellular Automaton

So do anyone want to work on the Narcissistic Quine in 1+?

petStorm

@Lyxal Mine is a dupe of OEIS.

Lyxal

@HighlyRadioactive I'm gonna pass purely because it took me two years to figure out how to make such a quine in a language with more support for strings, input, etc.

So I doubt I'll figure it out

petStorm

@Lyxal It took you 2 years to write a working program?

HighlyRadioactive

@Lyxal It took you 2 years to write a working program?

petStorm

06:59

@Lyxal That's obviously less amazing than the Quest of Tetris project, which took 2 and 1/2 years.

Lyxal

@HighlyRadioactive a working narcissistic quine that is.

But yes

Well, most of the two years was making a quine

And it was a bit less than two years

petStorm

@Lyxal And the rest was reserved for sleeping.

Lyxal

Actually, probably just 1 year and a few months

HighlyRadioactive

Quest of Tetris is much easier if you work with ConwayLife.com people instead of ~~PhiNotPi~~.

petStorm

~~PhiNotPi~~ complicates stuff.

Q: Radioactive Quines

A radioactive quine is a quine-like program that has an even number of characters and, when run, outputs itself with exactly half of its characters removed. The output itself may be a radioactive quine, so the program can "decay" multiple times. It could be said that the half-life of a radioacti...

Q: Make a Virtual Pet

code-golf

HighlyRadioactive

@petStorm ...

So you are virtual.

1+ is not a programming language. It's a math notation.

TMN has ambigiousity. For example, if you write 11 down, who will know if you meant eleven or 1 1?

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive I mean 2.

These days people don't know the core of concatenative languages.

HighlyRadioactive

07:14

This is why we need 1+.

petStorm

@HighlyRadioactive 1+ -> >1

HighlyRadioactive

1+: I can see through the stack! I can see through the code! I'M BETTER THAN THE ONE!

petStorm

The smallest natural number >1 is 2.

HighlyRadioactive

Ha.

So it does not assume an implicit 1 @Lyxal
