Thanks bot, thanks a lot.

Alex A.

@NewSandboxedPosts is part of our fleet of evil robots.

Alien G

@AlexA. Honestly, the only good bots are creepers in MC (Their path finding is too op)

Alex A.

Are you part of the PPCG Minecraft Server?

Creepers are mean. :/

Alien G

They will literally parkour and noclip to get you.

@AlexA. I currently don't have the internet required to do much.

Though I might tomorrow.

Alex A.

12:06 AM

How are you here without internet? o.O

GamrCorps

@AlexA. I'm going to join as soon as my load of schoolwork lightens.

Alex A.

Nice.

Alien G

@AlexA. Key words are "internet required"

Alex A.

Gotcha

Alien G

I'm on wireless at a distance of like 300ft.

Alex A.

12:10 AM

Mooching internet off a neighbor? :P

I did that once a long time ago because my internet was out.

Alien G

@AlexA. No, nothing like that O_O

haha

@AlienG McWifi?

?

@GamrCorps Yes (Not really but close).

What is the best message to notify a new user with an issue with their post (via a comment) while posting a(n)... Challenge (unclear specs/questionable) Challenge (duplicate) Challenge (off-topic) Answer to a challenge.

Alex A.

Oh, okay.

GamrCorps

Just got my first silver badge! Too bad it won't show up yet....

Alien G

I can't believe mcdonalds actually thinks you''ll have time to use their drive-through wifi...

Plus WireShark and stuffs.

GamrCorps

Yay!

first silver badge

Oh.

Congrats. :)

Holy crap.

Alex A.

Holy crap indeed.

Coool!

Alien G

It's quite cool how if you place two next to each other they constantly destroy and rebuild their "structures"

Justin

Try out the growing square. It becomes a shrinking square

It's an oscillator (on this map)!

Alex A.

Justinator

Justin

Yo

Challenge: How many growing square oscillators can you fit on the screen with out them interfering with themselves

APL question: Is it possible to turn {2(-⍨/⍣⍺)⍵} into a train?

Alex A.

12:37 AM

I don't think so, but @Dennis is the resident train expert.

A model train enthusiast, you might say.

Thomas Kwa

Also, why does that even work? It seems to me that the 2 can't bind to the left of the -⍨/ because there are parentheses and a ⍣ in the way.

Alex A.

APL works in strange and mysterious ways.

AKA I have no idea

Thomas Kwa

1:05 AM

I have a 15-byte solution to this challenge in TI-BASIC, but the challenge specified UTF-8 must be used. What should I do?

Alien G

That moment when the ants aren't going fast enough and you use cheat engine to speed-hack google chrome ;_;

GamrCorps

@ThomasKwa I would mention it in the comments and/or in the header do #TI-Basic, 15 bytes (N UTF-8 bytes)

Alex A.

There's a Julia package for connecting to the Yelp API. Why...?

TheDoctor

>.<

@AlexA. better write a GolfScript one

or BF

Alex A.

Brainfuck is my preferred means of browsing Yelp.

TheDoctor

1:18 AM

also we need a Malbolge Yahoo API

Alex A.

About as many people use Malbolge as use Yahoo.

Thomas Kwa

Furthermore, what do UTF-8 bytes even mean?

SuperJedi224

Hi guys

Thomas Kwa

My code in TI's encoding starts with DC 4E 3F B6 4E. Can I convert that to UTF-8 and claim that as my source size?

/me waves to @SuperJedi224

SuperJedi224

TI-Basic is usually scored as actual program size minus size of empty program with same name

Which should be 10 for a single-letter program name

Thomas Kwa

1:28 AM

The challenge specified UTF-8

10

Q: Calculating distances mod N

You have been collecting data from a Advanced Collecting Device Controller™ for a long time. You check the logs, and to your horror you discover that something has gone terribly wrong: the data only contains the last bits of the numbers! Luckily, you know the starting value and that the value n...

code-golf math

Which is very annoying, because I'd be winning if the scoring were fair

SuperJedi224

UTF-8 is standard scoring for most textual languages

quartata

Jeez I've ever gotten so many upvotes on an answer

Maybe I should try this lower effort = more upvotes thing more often

Actually I think the secret is post your answer first it seems

SuperJedi224

So I think you can assume it just means bytes

Alex A.

No you can't

APL scored with the APL codepage is 1 character = 1 byte

TheDoctor

jeez why do you people always talk about programming. it's not like this is a coding chatroom or anything...

Alex A.

1:30 AM

APL in UTF-8 is about 3 times as many bytes

Thomas Kwa

There's no standard way to express TI-BASIC in UTF-8.

TheDoctor

says hello to @Chinatsu-creepy-chan

Chinatsu-creepy-chan

hehe, hello guys

Sp3000

@TheDoctor Programming? What's that? I thought this chatroom was about llamas and pancakes

TheDoctor

@Sp3000 no, llamas and waffles

Alex A.

1:31 AM

@Sp3000 Programming is the science of stuffing pancakes into llamas.

SuperJedi224

Currently testing the item trasnportation system I decided at the last minute to add to my minecart track

Chinatsu-creepy-chan

It may be surprising but I'm not here to ask any questions. Want to known more weirdos. Looks like I hit the spot xP

Alex A.

The Nineteenth Byte is weirdo central. Welcome!

TheDoctor

@Chinatsu-creepy-chan I never ask questions. I just post my code and hope other people golf it for me

Sp3000

@Chinatsu-creepy-chan Hey Chinatsu-chan, did you come from the Maid Cafe? Kyouko's there :P

TheDoctor

1:33 AM

ayy @Vɪʜᴀɴ

Vɪʜᴀɴ

Was it just me or did PPCG go down for like a second

SuperJedi224

It didn't work. There was a repeater missing in the relay system.

Chinatsu-creepy-chan

Yup! They never answered me ( when we were not talking about anime/stuff) so I got bored then leaved

TheDoctor

@SuperJedi224 frown

Sp3000

Aww :(

SuperJedi224

1:34 AM

I think it's fixed now.

Yes. It's fixed.

TheDoctor

@Vɪʜᴀɴ too many waffles

3

Chinatsu-creepy-chan

Actually this happened about 15 minutes ago. I had been in that chat for about 10 months. I think

Sp3000

I kinda just lurk in the Maid Cafe tbh :P

SuperJedi224

Vɪʜᴀɴ

@TheDoctor aye yai yai

Alex A.

1:37 AM

I said hey

What's going on

Chinatsu-creepy-chan

wow. so star. very meme. much funny

2

wow

amaze

@AlexA. I hooked up an item transport system to my minecart track.

Vɪʜᴀɴ

1:38 AM

this means I'm not going crazy

Alex A.

@SuperJedi224 Nice

TheDoctor

Test drive 2015 robot

^ i made that (well i helped)

Chinatsu-creepy-chan

hey guys, must hit my bed.

SuperJedi224

Goodbye.

TheDoctor

@Chinatsu-creepy-chan why? is it a bad bed?

Sp3000

1:40 AM

Why, what did your bed do to you?

Chinatsu-creepy-chan

it makes me unconscious. every night.

Alien G
