Knight to e6, checkmate

SymbolicC++ is a general purpose computer algebra system embedded in the programming language C++. It is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. SymbolicC++ is used by including a C++ header file or by linking against a library. == Examples == The following program fragment inverts the matrix symbolically. The output is [ cos(theta) −sin(theta) ] [ sin(theta) cos(theta) ] The next program illustrates non-commutative symbols in SymbolicC++. Here b is a Bose annihilation operator and bd is a Bose creation operator. The variable vs denotes the vacuum state ...

@anOKsquirrel ....wow.

Surprisingly fast, actually.

OOOH...binary search. Smart.

@El'endiaStarman Hmm... I wonder who this Peter J. Taylor guy who keeps commenting on it is

@quartata Probably @Dennis.

Sadly I will not get it on Christmas but rather the day after. :/

Unless things really go to hell around here, I'm not gonna get the El Dorito hat :(

@quartata Assuming you have time to visit PPCG on Christmas Day.

@Dennis As if I have a life.

@Mego The what ha- oh.

@Mego I read this as El Doritos

My options are Electorate, Marshal, Illuminator, or Copy Editor

Socratic, Fanatic, and Legendary would take longer than Winter Bash to complete

Steward?

Don't forget tag badges

If you edit everything to try to get Copy Editor, I'll borrow Doorknob's trout.

Oh wait we don't have Steward on PPCG

@AlexA. Hence why it won't happen :P

Or do we?

Of course we do

but I doubt anyone has it

@Mego There are more gold badges. These are just the badges that can be awarded once.

Only 11 people even have Reviewer.

@Dennis Oh right

I'd need to double the views/votes on 2spooky to get either of those gold badges :/

The most common is Famous Question, but 10,000 views will be hard.

Or rather, take time.

@Mego By the way. 2spooky in pl is 12 bytes

I think that's as short as it gets.

Too bad I still can't get the interpreter working.

Caminandes 3 - TRAILER

....was NOT what I was expecting!

My approach to the hats is that I will get them if I get them and I will leave it at that

Cerro de whatnow?

2:38 AM

I actually laughed out loud.

Eggnog

translate: Cerro de Potosi

(from Spanish) Cerro de Potosí

This is why we can't have nice thing!

Publicist and Famous Question are likely awarded together :P

_spooky_2╬me

@Mego Not really.

100 spooky 102 me

I got Famous Question without Publicist.

me too

Publicist is actually really really hard I believe.

Unless you are internet famous

Unlike me

@quartata I meant, Publicist likely results in Famous Question

[insecurity intensifies]

@Mego Oh, good point.

Why Do Rivers Have Deltas?

Is the badge commentator worth losing rep? I'm at 181.

... why would commenting make you lose rep?

If I commented "fluff" and got downvoted for it.

There's no such thing as downvotes on comments.

I don't understand

2:45 AM

The fluff got downloaded

You can't get downvoted on comments but don't comment "fluff" anyways

Oh

Q: Effect of the MIT license change on PPCG

This is (probably) happening, and it's annoying me, and there's quite a lot of backlash from the community. If you read all of that post and the comments and the answers and the answers' comments (or, indeed, CTRL-F + code golf1), you will see niche sites like Code Golf and Code Review mentioned...

v

I didn't literally mean the string "fluff" I meant commentGenerator.generateUselessCommentsSolelyForBadges()

2:46 AM

Don't do that anyways.

Ok

@Hurricane996 Difference negligible

El'endia Starman

It's not exactly hard to get it legitimately anyway...

Ten comments.

@El'endiaStarman I honestly thought it was just one.

Anonymous

2:50 AM

It's fairly easy to get 10 comments quickly if you know at least one programming language and are decent at golfing in it
