I find this hard to believe
 
omg Microsoft Word 2002 has French autocorrect
 
...it is now 00:01 UTC and we are waiting on @Calvin'sHobbies...
I couldn't autocomplete his name. o.O
 
Really? I can: @Calvin'sHobbies
@phase As long as you set your language, I think Word will work with a whole bunch of languages.
 
@AlexA. BLACK mAgiC!!!
 
Also Word 2002 on Windows XP... For shame, @phase. For shame.
 
12:03 AM
Weird font in pre's?
 
Hm?
 
Code looks blurry and there is an extra line on some blocks

I can't get over this.
 
@AlexA. ...
That is, indeed, a reference.
 
@phase If you're referencing the image you posted, it says "image not found."
 
12:06 AM
[].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.stars .vote')).map((x,y)=>setTimeout(_=>x.click(),y*2e3)) stars each chat message every 2 seconds.
 
@El'endiaStarman That's the article I'm referring to that says it was published online when my dad was 9. :P
 
@AlexA. dafuq
@AlexA. looks fine for me
 
@AlexA. me too

Windows 2000/ME
 
@AlexA. Oh, in the "Info & Metrics" tab.
Windows 10 here.
 
@El'endiaStarman lol I wasn't saying I'm on Windows 2000
 
@AlexA. ......which I belatedly realized...like two seconds after...
 
:P
 
12:10 AM
@AlexA. But you are wrong. So is W 2k
 
This is true.
Windows 95 for life
 
links to a 404 on your own site

@AlexA. the version of the 404 page ;-;

12:15 AM
Error: divide by zero
Error: undefined token nginx
Error: malformed number
 
@PhiNotPi Did you know that stealth pings are officially gone?
 
Error @1:6: underflow
 
Yeah. :(
 
I never knew they existed
 
I still don't understand why they removed that feature.
 
12:18 AM
@phase Phase Error: Troll Overflow
 
@PhiNotPi Well, as Chris mentioned, it doesn't really make sense that it was possible in the first place because there's no reason to scan link text for mentions.
 
But they were totally dank.
 
d4nk m3m3s 4 d4y5
 
@PhiNotPi This made me lol
I still haven't gotten over the use of "dank" as an adjective to describe things other than basements and marijuana.
 
12:21 AM
@AlexA. dank og kush in mai og basement
 
> og basement
You are an original basement gangster?
 
my basement was the first gangster to ever live
zombie og dank basement
somebody make a language called that
 
You could.
 
The most stunning innovation in the world of computer science since TempleOS.
 
12:25 AM
@AlexA. what about my OS?
 
@phase You're not using TempleOS? gasp
 
The one called "Operating System" where each line starts with 7 for some reason?
 
@phase That, my friend, is the only programmatical representation of the Universe itself.
 
@AlexA. The 7 was from the mouse
 
Which makes even less sense
 
12:26 AM
@AlexA. Anytime you move the mouse, it prints 7 onto the screen
 
Haha you say that as if it's some kind of justification for the behavior.
@PhiNotPi How is your TempleOS VM working?
Also are you still underwater?
 
I sacrificed it.
 
D:
 
That may or may not have been the intended behavior, but I'm just going to ship it as a feature. How many times have you moved your mouse and expected the number 7 to appear on your screen? Now OS does it for you!

As a result, I am no longer underwater.
 
12:29 AM
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ I think I can write that in a couple lines of K
 
halp
I'm looking for a tab I opened in Chromium
but I can't remember which window I stuck it in
D:
 
What's your address?
 
127.0.0.1
 
I can come to your house and help you look for it.
No no, not your IP address. Your physical street address.
 
This sounds like a scam.
 
12:33 AM
@El'endiaStarman What's that?
 
@AlexA. How dare you make such an accusation?! I am an honest man!!!
 
@Doorknob The identifier for the house which contains the door on which you are a knob.
@El'endiaStarman s/man/hedgehog/
 
@AlexA. I'll post my stuff within a few hours

Make sure your search is spelled correctly. Try adding a city, state, or zip code.
 
@El'endiaStarman Roseville, CA

12:36 AM
There's also one in Fort Myers, FL.
 
@Calvin'sHobbies Excellent. How many posts?
@El'endiaStarman Yes, but phase is in CA.
 
@Calvin'sHobbies I have one ready, El'endia has one, and Doorknob was supposed to make one but who knows if he actually did...
 
@El'endiaStarman I actually think that's a pretty bad score.
 
@PhiNotPi ಠ_ಠ
OF COURSE YOU WOULD!
 
12:45 AM
@_@
 
> PhiNotPi has fainted!
 
I'm about 20,000 soups away from breaking my record for most soups tallied in a single haul
At 200 soups/second, 2.3 million soups takes a while
Okay, just cleared my 2.347 million soup previous record
How much longer should I let it run before submitting?
 
@AlexA. I can bring something out of the sandbox.
and wtf:
 
Probably a renderer bug.
 
^ Very likely.
 
1:02 AM
Huh.
Note to self: never use chrome
 
...I'm using chrome...
 
im changing my username to ¯_(ツ)_/¯
 
@Seadrus With or without the left arm?
And Chrome here too...

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The var keyword returns undefined.
If you just said ಠ_ಠ = 3 without the var it would probably have yielded 3.
 
1:09 AM
ಠ皿ಠ
 
@SuperJedi224 I know it
 
yus i changed my username
how does it get showed up here
 
I think you have to have a mod refresh it
 
like so
 
1:13 AM
yus
my username is butiful
 
"Stibe OG"? As in, "Geobits" reversed?
 
... i will neither confirm nor deny.
 
Ha, I think you're right. Except that he transposed the e and the o.
 
@El'endiaStarman Ah, good point.
I hid that pun too well.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ wat pun
 
1:15 AM
@ಠิ益ಠิStibeOG Ah is Ha transposed ish
 
"GO Ebits", sounds like something from Pokemon...

indeed!
 
@Doorknob Challenge progress?
 
Nothing past an idea. :P
I'll get to it. Hopefully...
 
@Zgarb Do you have any challenges ready to post, by chance? We're going to spam the main site today. Hit the graduation requirement in a single day.
@Doorknob ಠ_ಠ
 
1:21 AM
@AlexA. Not really, unfortunately. I can try to whip up a short one, but I won't promise anything.
 
Haha alright
Also 10 questions/day has to be a sustained average, so spamming main with a ton of challenges in a single day won't actually do anything toward graduation. :P
That's why we're counting on @Calvin to post 10 questions/day every day.
 
Yeah, the Area 51 page shows a two-week average (or so I've heard).
 
Apparently we were doing really well with the requirements back in the code trolling days.
 
@AlexA. Do you want me to? :3
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Sure!
 
1:25 AM
@AlexA. Yay!
 
So that's 2-3 from Calvin, 1 from El'endia, 1 from you, and 1 from me.
Hopefully one from a certain metal handle...

1:27 AM
I don't think set var=set with var i=0 would work. Wouldn't you need %var% i=0?
 
@AlexA. riight
 
@El'endiaStarman Guns, people losing limbs... What goes on in that head of yours? :P
 
Forgot about that
 
@AlexA. Uh...

^.^
 
so that's the last one, 10/day for how many days?
 
2 weeks
Or so says Zgarb
 
well... why sandbox then?
 
Because we want quality posts on main.

1:32 AM
Wouldn't it be fun/funny to hit the 10 q/day threshold for two weeks, get graduated, and then drop back down to like 5 q/day? :P

what about when all hell breaks loose?
 
What hell? How'd it get loose?

Did someone leave the gate open?
 
1:34 AM
close first, discuss/edit, reopen
 
@CSᵠ This is why the sandbox exists
 
i was under the impression, you should sandbox first, ask questions later
^see what i did there :)
 
Hmmm....Mexican Standoff ...
 
Have we had the challenge "partition input array A into as few increasing subsequences as possible"?
 
Doesn't sound familiar
 
1:37 AM
/me starts coding :P
 
Is that strictly increasing, size > 1?
 
Nah, I'm sandboxing another KotH.
 
Don't know about strictly yet, but size > 0 so there's always a result.
 
So if you have [1 2 5 3 7 9 1] then your increasing subsequences are [[1 2 5] [3 7 9] [1]] -> [1 2 5], [3 7 9], [1]?
I'm an idio
 
> I'm an idio
 
1:40 AM
@Doorknob o u donno?
 
@AlexA. Yeah, but not necessarily contiguous.
 
@Zgarb What should be done with the trailing 1?
 
Actually, you know, this task is beginning to sound familiar...
 
@El'endiaStarman Nothing. It's fine as it is.
Input [1,2,1,2,5,4,7,1] might give [[1,1,1],[2,2,4,7],[5]] as output.
 
Ohhhh so not preserving order
 
1:48 AM
@AlexA. Order is preserved, but only within subsets.
 
I don't understand what you mean
 
Each array in the result is a subsequence of the input.
So its elements occur in that order.
 
Oh, okay.
 
1 1    1
 2 2 47
    5

1:51 AM
I don't want to boot up my Windows VM just to test this, but isn't Batch entirely case insensitive? That is, couldn't you use sEt or Set in place of SET or set?
I know you can use all caps or all lowercase
 
Yeah what?
 
@AlexA. Yes it is insensitive
 
Oh okay

El'endia StarmanSpacewar! king-of-the-hill If you've ever played Spacewar!, you know it was a fun game. If you haven't, know this: it was (and is) one of the very first and most important computer games. And it's still fun! The Game There are two spaceships, and both have a hitbox x pixels wide and y pixels ...

 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ, I'm thinking about soliciting your help on this... ^
 
@El'endiaStarman YAY!
ʜᴀᴘᴘʏ ᴅᴀɴᴄᴇs
 
Ever played the game?
 
No, but it sounds interesting
> Also, the sun has gravity.
 
"protected"
 
Please tell me you tried to start Windows SmartScreen.
 
I tried to run @El'endia 's link
 
Also, I'm not really sure why the ships would fall into the star instead of just orbiting around it. It normally takes effort to fall into stuff.
 
2:12 AM
@PhiNotPi Ships start out with no velocity.
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's actually possible to turn off gravity. It's also possible to leave it on but make the sun not fatal, which is quite fun.
 
@El'endiaStarman XD
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Did you run it?
 
Yeah
As an admin
It seems really fun
I'd like to see this work.
 
How would the bots receive data?
 
2:15 AM
...we probably ought to make a separate room for discussing this further...
 
^ good point
tho I g2g soon
 
@RetoKoradi I saw your answer
 
I'm in high school and have school tomorrow >_<
 
How close does this (meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/7669/42736) post look to ready to go? Any concerns on the pliability of the game? Ideas on how to improve?
 
2:16 AM
@RetoKoradi I have a sad answer for you though

@PhiNotPi That sounds really unclear
 
@ThomasKwa Whoops, in all the editing I forgot to make that clear. I am fixing it now.
 
@Zgarb Is there an example where the greedy algorithm fails?

@Lembik ar eyou here?
 
@ThomasKwa just finished updating - see edits under input/output.

@JAtkin Will the player order be consistent for each game?
Or could you have a 3 player game where the player order is, say, 132312231231?
 
@orlp Looks like I'm not going to win then? ;)
 
No, it should be randomized. If you follow the comment trail it looks like it will change to each round will be a random pick X number of all the players.
 
2:36 AM
@ThomasKwa I never claimed it to be "clear," "complete," or "English."
 
@orlp Let me guess what you're doing: You're generating numbers that meet the condition, i.e. have the form 1 + 2^k * p^n (with p a prime). Then you're using a probabilistic prime test on the result. Am I on the right track?
 
@RetoKoradi yes
good chance I didn't do rigorous enough probabilistic tests though
and that my result is invalid
kinda lazy
@RetoKoradi oh I'm dumb
@RetoKoradi I didn't generate k at all
(I always used k = 1)
so my answer is almost surely invalid
 
@orlp If the result is a prime, it would still be valid, right?
 
@ThomasKwa For A = [4,12,2,10,15,2,2,19,16,12], the greedy approach gives [[4,12,15,19],[2,2,2,16],[10,15],[12]], but the optimal length is 3: [[2,2,2,12],[4,10,15,16],[12,19]]
 
@RetoKoradi nope
@RetoKoradi the answer asks about consecutive good primes
if I'm using k=1 then I'm almost surely not generating consecutive good primes
 
2:41 AM
@orlp Oh, I see. Yes, if you miss good primes, you would get a bigger difference between them.

Any suggestions for a witty challenge title? The task is "partition a given list into as few increasing subsequences as possible".
 
It seems spammy.
I think another edit popped up for Seriously, anonymous user.
See that edit here.
It seems strange...
Explanations? Look at the comments.
Those are weird comments.
 
If it wasn't for the weird edit reason, I'd say it's somebody with encoding issues.
 
The editor is wrong. They don't recognize the proper encoding.
Reject the edit.
 
2:53 AM
Already did.
 
Ah
 
@quintopia I don't think this is the reason - see Dennis's comment.
