@quartata As in, mods cannot be kick-muted.
 
They can be physically kicked, however.
That has happened to me on a few occasions.
 
@AlexA. You'd have failed your exam by the time I got there to kick you.
 
Haha
 
Physics or Chemistry?
 
12:01 AM
Why do you assume I'd fail? I didn't study for either of the other two exams for this class.
 
PHYSICS IS SUPERIOR.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I like both.
 
But chemistry is...well, y'know... ;)
 
Chemysics
 
Psymestry
 
12:02 AM
Is that psychiatry and chemistry?
 
^
 
s/psychiatry/psychology/ if you prefer
Just like telemetry is telephone chemistry.
 
ಠ_ಠ
Tell Calvin that! :D
 
do u no wats in ur fon?
@Calvin'sHobbies See prior remark regarding telemetry.
 
@El'endiaStarman ?
 
12:04 AM
I agree, ?
Is he a telephone chemist?
 
@El'endiaStarman I remember that one.
That's one of my favorites

A: Can we stop flagging poor answers as "not an answer"?

DoorknobIt seems we need a sort of guide for flagging, so... spam / offensive: self-explanatory NAA: for posts that do not attempt to solve the challenge (examples: "I like llamas," "Wow, interesting challenge," "user12345's answer is invalid," "This challenge is boring," "I don't know, but here's a st...

 
@ThomasKwa Oh.
That's what I flagged it as actually :P
I couldn't remember which one though
> Duck is a joke language made by user:Hurricane996. The language is different for every interpreter. When you write an interpreter, any program does whatever the interpreter writer wants. Duck interpreters are named by what they do.

@ThomasKwa Let us bring the cleansing rain of downvotes upon it.
 
kill me
what have I just witnessed
brb vandalizing esolangs page
 
@ThomasKwa Why is there only one delete vote on this.
 
@AlexA. Because I can't vote to delete on it et
Has to be two-days old
 
12:15 AM
@quartata Orly?
 
@AlexA. Ye

@AlexA. Fixed.
 
Because it isn't old enough.
 
We need our own delete vote reasons.
Because the builtins don't work on this site.
 
12:16 AM
@Dennis Thought about nuking it myself but wanted to make sure there was further support for deletion.
 
More to the point
What have I just read
The esolangs page makes my eyes leak liquid pain
 
Can you get mortarboard more than once?
 
No
 
It's not even an interpreter
 
12:16 AM
It's not even a programming language
 
The Mortarboard badge is awarded once, the first time you rep cap.
 
Not just by our standard
But from all standards
 
@AlexA. Your and my vote makes three.
 
@Dennis :D
 
It literally isn't a constructed language.
Mathematically, it isn't a programming language.
Or linguistic-theory
Whatever.
Anyways, my brain hurts now
 
12:18 AM
I can make a DUCK program that proves DUCK is a programming language X3
 
That feeling when you see the oven temperature and think it's the time and you're like "oh shit it's already 375, I gotta go"

Good luck alex!
 
Why thank you :)
 
My pleasure :D
 
I am back.

Welcome back!
 
Happy Holibytes!

Had to go. Am currently in computer class. You know they block Youtube, but not SE?
 
12:38 AM
@RikerW I'd be much more surprised if it was the other way around

My other class is the other way around. Go figure.
But they block BBC News?

@Dennis ... you need to upgrade your browser/machine
 
Why does he need to upgrade?
 
@AlexA. Commodore. I was programming in a flavor of BASIC when I was 5.
 
when was the last Marbelous answer?
has the language died?

@RikerW And it's not a stealth ping to be technical. ^_^
 
A link, then?
 
Yesh :3 @Dennis said they were O.K.
tho don't abuse them please :3
 
@RikerW [okay](http://@RikerW)
 
rofl click the link and see where it trys to take you.
I don't think it likes small caps.
for me it is "xn co 27b g2c8eg7if7062fycab .com"

@mınxomaτ wa
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That... actually looks like a bug. Specifically, this bug.
 
@IlmariKaronen huh'
 
I've got a client-side fix for it in SOUP, not sure why it's not working here in chat. :/
 
1:08 AM
It's so freaky to go looking at SO and find out you've already been there:
@TinyGiant Actually: don't use for...in loops to iterate over arrays. — Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ Nov 7 at 3:27

@quartata ... dur.
 
@quartata yeah, but its been nearly a month
 
@NathanMerrill Still.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Oh, right... the SOUP fix isn't working because ' isn't allowed in hostnames. The small caps would be fine, though. :p
 
@IlmariKaronen lel
 
1:26 AM
Stealth pings should no longer be possible. You can still put a user's name in a link like this, but that shouldn't ping anyone.
Did that ping you, Cᴏɴᴏʀ?
 
Yeah, they no longer work I'm pretty sure

@Dennis lel I asked you about [...](@....) and you said it was okay
but if that's no longer allowed... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
well I made a link with @user in it
no ping though?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Ahahaha, I wrote [like this](http://Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ), but using small caps in URLs seems to have unintended side effects... [...](...://@username) should no longer ping anyone, so there's no reason to forbid it.
 
1:37 AM
Really.
@feersum That does ping.
 
So there is still hope for stealth-pingers.

I have the ping, just need teh stealth.
 
so maddeningly close

@Dennis does that ping?

A: Random Golf of the Day #1: Shuffle an Array

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'BʀɪᴇɴJolf, 46 bytes Invalid, since language postdates question. Is otherwise a perfectly valid answer. Try it ici! v'nlKW«n)v'HC*mrhntv'S.Kn$K[n]=K[H];K[H]=S$}K Explanation v'nlKW«n)v'HC*mrhntv'S.Kn$K[n]=K[H];K[H]=S$}K implicit: K = input array v'n ...

\o/
wait is O(n) linear time?
Or is that O(1)
I get confused
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That's constant time.
 
1 is a constant, n is linear.
 
1:48 AM
Thanks :)
The only O complexity I ever learned was from KhanAcademy
 
An O(1) algorithm for shuffling would be quite impressive... :P
 
xD
:O I have one!
But it's too large for this comment box
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Too large for pastebin too?
 
...technology has killed the Fermat in me
 
1:51 AM
I started to really dislike Pastebin when I found out that they mess with newlines.
 
Every newline in a paste is CR+LF, no matter what you pasted.
 
@El'endiaStarman my O(1) algorithm runs constantly by filling the array to a length of arr max length
It always runs constantly :P
 
But it's wrong in general.
 
That's what I get for hiring birds to do my programming...
yeah
 
@feersum That is one big box.
I like how clicking see full text makes it smaller.
 
It's abuse chat day!

The one person more no-nonsense than Peter?
It's the end of the world.

Hmm, does <kbd>kbd</kbd> work in chat? Aww, guess not. :(
 
I don't think any sort of HTML-tag works.

OK, not to stomp on anyone's fun or anything, but the giant oneboxes come without scrollbars on mobile.

@Dennis Awesome. I should try mobile some time.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ 44
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ There's a chance the devs did enable one HTML tag!
 
@El'endiaStarman ?
 
2:05 AM
I now hold approximately 1/70000 of all the submitted soups for 3/23. Yay.
 
in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Exchange Chat, Nov 26 at 3:51, by Doorknob
I always just use the full site on mobile. Mobile chat is horrible.
 
@SuperJedi224 I hold one. And it's delicious.
 
So, because there's a chance, you should test all of the HTML tags! :D
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I've tried on other rules. The site won't let you submit fewer than 10,000 soups at a time.
 
2:06 AM
@SuperJedi224 o_o they doing a charity drive?
 
@IlmariKaronen I use ChatSEy. In the absence of chat abuse, it's actually quite usable.
 
Though for this particular rule 10,000 isn't all that many, and there are rules for which 10,000 is practically nothing
 
@El'endiaStarman :D writing JS
 
And then there are also rules for which 10,000 soups is a lot.
 
(I should probably mention that that chance is probably 0.)
 
2:07 AM
(shhhh)
 
(Though properly, it's not zero, but only very very small.)
 
Besides it isn't even literal soup

Hey, it's a good website.
 
No one uses www anymore. They should change their name to 'schools'.

@Dennis *okay is what I meant. And MDN isn't yours?
 
@quartata thankee. What you working on?
 
MDN would be my first choice, yes. Sadly, Google remains unconvinced.
 
@quintopia ?
Nothing at the moment.
 
Oh. Is anything of interest being made? By anyone here?

Q: Math in manhattan

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'BʀɪᴇɴI define the following operators: Manhattan Addition a +M b, for single-digit numbers, is the result of concatenating b onto a. So, a +M b = 10a + b. Therefore, the general operator +M is defined as thus: a +M b = 10a + b Manhattan Subtraction a –M b, for single-digit numbers, is the result of...

2:36 AM
@El'endiaStarman Yup o_o I was shocked, too
 
I thought of one: once per minute, output the current local time in a digital clock representation. Each multiple of 15 minutes, play m/15 chimes. On the hour, instead play H chimes.
 
Playing Spacewar! as the sole player. 3 - 3 at the end of one game. >_>

Both sides got one point because of an asteroid. -_-
No, like, the other ship is not controlled at all. :P
 
I turned off the sun but left the gravity.
 
One more game then I'll work on the KotH playfield...
 
This is, uh, research.
