That's punny.
Sadly.
 
Another challenge could demand sorting the words.
 
Grr, Doorknob!
 
That’s actually much harder than avoiding e :)
 
Still. Two words. I'm winning! :P
 
@Timwi That's prohibitively difficult IMO. I'd rather just take a vow of silence. :P
 
5:01 AM
^^ Also organized!
 
New goal: Avoid "a" on day one in chat, "b" on day two, etc. for 26 days
 
No way.
 
Hey, at least I gave it a shot. I had to avoid “alphabetize” and “all”, and I had to put “word(s)” near the end, and I still did it :)
@Doorknob That’ll be easy. I’ll start on the first day of my upcoming 26-day Christmas holiday
 
haha
 
@Doorknob Chellenge eccepted. When does it stert?
 
5:03 AM
that's also cheating :P
 
It's not cheating if you're just bad at spelling.
 
@BlexB.
 
♪ On the first day of Christmas, I wrote without the “a”: one bird in one pyrus tree. ♪
 
I know what to do on day 15: put , not o

5:04 AM
> ASCII#69
 
Oh hey... does this count as cheating? :-p
 
Oh I was lagging so that quote doesn't make any sense now
 
let's just make the rules then: you may not use a word which would normally contain the forbidden character, no matter how you choose to spell it (including common abbreviations)
 
5:06 AM
What is this ninja fornication party you display?
 
> (including common abbreviations)
I would contest that part: common abbreviations like “BTW” or “AFK” should be fine
 
@phase wtf
 
5:09 AM
@phase Wut?
 
@phase wtaf
 
@AlexA. You're welcome
 
@Dennis @Dannas
 
So why is Ampora avoiding 0x45 and 0x65?
 
For fun.
 
5:12 AM
Shets end geggles
 
I think I started it, but I’m now starting to regret it :)
 
Ah, but from whom and at what point did it start?
 
I don't know. Shats und gogglos I would think.

5:13 AM
Thank you. I was trying to ask bout tim3 and couldn't
 
Oh wow Dennis ninja'd my xkcd by like an hour
 
Yep
Everyone knew and nobody said
 
I am a man with a solid soul and I hath an ability to not put #45 or #65 in my chats!
 
@Doorknob Samurai'd
 
@AlexA. blown out of the park'd

@Doorknob Haha. :P

@Doorknob I was fine seeing the comic again, since I wasn't in here an hour ago

From now on, I will talk about things with a quality of "dank" as mimis. Sounds similar, but still contains no #65

@Timwi I don't display any ability to think on your musing.
I hath got much fun from this chat. Now I will go, but I want all of you to know, I will not put an ASCII#65 until 2016, mark my words. Thank you all, and good night.
 
@Ampora k l8r scubba toob
 
Sigh, what have I done
 
5:24 AM
@AlexA. This is what happens to me when I don't code. I haven't committed anything in 3 days
 
@phase If you need a task, ungolf o.c.

If thou hast doubts, cast your doubts unto Timwi, for it is this who did this to my typing. Good morrow.
 
@AlexA. I want to work on my JVM bytecode generator but I'm lazy
 
Story of my life, minus the JVM bytecode generator.
 
I want to play smash bros but PM OR MELEE?!?!?
 
5:26 AM
Half-Life.
 
@El'endiaStarman Project M, mod for Brawl to make it not Brawl
 
Ah, right!
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
I want to play games all holiday, but my gaming laptops are either in the shop or toast
 
5:29 AM
here's a game you can play in a browser. GOOD LUCK qwertysteno.com/Games/CargoCrisis.php
 
play qwop all day erryday
I wonder if @quartata watches QWOP speed runs.
 
That's...oxymoronic.
 
Probably closer to just moronic. :P
 
s/mo/i/
 
...i get 34 wpm on cargo crisis in qwerty
i have to keep looking up and down. it's not like when i'm actually typing stuff
 
5:38 AM
@Timwi That's replace all "mo" with "i" right? I want to be sure I got the right joke
 
@Sherlock9 Yes, regex substitution
 
moronic → ironic
It’s not a particularly good joke, don’t look for a laugh, you won’t find one
 
@Sherlock9 "Moron"-ninja'd! Dang!
 
tim → wi
 
I'm most familiar with Python and Ruby's regexes so I got a little confused
heh wiwi
 
5:39 AM
Oh my, here we go.
 
→→→→→→→
 
Well, there's a relatively common girls' name in Indonesia, "Wiwik". The "k" is NOT silent
 
Oh are you Indonesian?
 
Yep
 
I hear the food is awesome there :D
 
5:40 AM
It is. I'm having lunch right now and it's good
 
Nice. :)
 
/me resists the temptation of jumping up and yelling “Makan! Makan!”
 
/me is confused
 
the closest i've gotten to indonesia is the netherlands
 
"Eat! Eat!"
 
5:42 AM
translate: Makan
(from Indonesian) Eating
 
Hmm. I'm curious. Clock bands. Got all? In room?
 
What?
 
Okay, I'm gonna be done with both self-imposed restrictions now. :P
 
Yeah, well I don't know how similar the Netherlands is to Indonesia at this point @quintopia
 
Are all time zones represented in this room?
 
5:43 AM
“both”? There were two?
 
Not necessarily now.
@Timwi Two words and no e.
 
Lots of Indonesians go there for university but other than that
 
@El'endiaStarman Pacific for phase, quartata, and myself, possibly others.
 
I have UTC+7
 
5:44 AM
UTC-8
 
UTC+1
 
4 down, 20+ to go
 
Well who else is Asian
That's a part of the world that might be harder to cover than the Americas
 
Mini chat challenge: Given an integer n, print or return the name of the timezone created by adding n to UTC, i.e. UTC+n. n can be negative.
e.g. UTC-8 is Pacific, UTC-5 is Eastern, etc.
(idk if the others have names)
 
5:46 AM
lambda n:"UTC"+"{:+2}".format(n)
 
make it "print a city name in that time zone" to be sure
 
That would be hard.
 
“Eastern” is a very US-centric name for UTC-5
 
nah
 
Mostly we print West Indonesia Time
 
5:47 AM
it's just a table lookup
 
@Timwi Everything I think of is US-centric because there's where I am.
@quintopia Yeah a lookup of all cities everywhere. :P
 
@AlexA. uh...i'm still doing forward lookup. number->city. the reverse lookup is the hard one.
 
oh right
 
but i see no reason to limit n to an integer. might as well include those people in half and quarter hour time zones too

Q: Make a numeric list converter

Stewie GriffinDon't you hate it when you want to copy-paste a list of numbers (vector, array ...), from one program to another, but the format you have the numbers on doesn't match the format you need it on? For instance, in MATLAB you may have a space separated list like this: [1 2 3 4 5] (you can also ...

Hey @quartata, did you ever give your opinion on this answer? codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/66141/47581
@Dennis Out of curiosity, what would the Jelly answer to my Josephus problem question be? Here: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/64667/…
 
11:49 AM
Are built-ins for quines allowed? (see: Seriously) — FlagAsSpam 52 secs ago
ಠ_ಠ the answer should be no.
 
@FlagAsSpam What about quining implemented in the language in the standard library?
hypothetically
 
Is that a built in?
Would you count the code? If the answer to the latter is no, then yes, it's a builtin.
If you counted the size of the library, it'd be fine.
 
@FlagAsSpam We don't count the size of a standard library when we use non quining functions from it, do we?
 
@overactor No - but we consider those functions builtins.
 
Ah I see
So if it's a library, you've got to count the bytes
and if it's not, it's disallowed
 
11:56 AM
A standard library is part of a language. :P

Q: Finding the busiest time-frame in parking lot

NurlanI came to this solution. A little nuance here: The time is registered so that if one car arrives at 11:10 and another one leaves at 11:10, then this mean there where 2 cars at the parking lot at 11:10 My algorithm doesn't take that into consideration. public class ParkingLotHelper { priva...

'rd3* Standard quine. 8\} Push the bottom 8 items of the stack to the top. Z Output the current stack. There's no reason for me to go after the bonuses - they'd chuck on a lot more bytes.

Man, it is quiet today
 
@Sherlock9 I'm not sure that's possible right now in Jelly. Looping is still on the to-do list.
 
Shoot
Also I don't know how to throw multiple arguments in there
So that may be a problem
 
Right now, Jelly can take up to 2 arguments. With three parameters, you'd have to combine two of them in an array somehow.
 
Yeah, I wish you luck in figuring out loops and multiple parameters, man
A language can be Turing-complete if it doesn't have looping in it, right?
BF has looping but that's not what makes it Turing-complete, IIRC
Hm, I wonder if I can get Josephus to run in Brainfuck
 
e×pi - 4pi - log(4) - 7log(pi) + atan(pi) days until Winter Bash!
 
1:34 PM
@FlagAsSpam XD
 
@Doorknob I get -15.6314 days. Did it start already?
 
@Sherlock9 I get ≈2.4375...
 
e x pi and atan(pi) add up to ~ 9. 4pi is more than 12 so the number is negative even before you throw in the logs
So I am confused
 
No, they add up to about 9.8024
 
Yes ~9 is my symbol for approximately 9
 
1:40 PM
Oh, I thought you meant "they add up to approximately 9.4pi"
 
Sigh. Me and my communication problems
 
Oh, I typoified it

Unfortunately the built-in prime testing is trial division so larger primes take a few lifetimes of the universe to test
