It actually feels like a community

Stack Overflow doesn't

Except in the R tag, where the majority of the answers are by the same 5 people.

@Dennis codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/47128/… , but it doesn't seem like that

Alex A.

@Dennis I lied. ^^

randomra

idk why that is called diagonal B-W, the only google hits are from that PPCG question

Alex A.

Oh interesting

Perhaps Google is secretly the Community user and is doing a plug for the site.

@Sp3000 I found the place you died and put your stuff n a chest

Alex A.

RIP Sp

Dennis

@AlexA. As far as I know, no.

It's part of the BZip compression algorithm.

@randomra Not even remotely the same. That's the Ion Lee Transform. :P

Alex A.

Claim of lying revoked then

Katya

The binding of isaac question on that list is my one :O

Alex A.

Nice! That's hilarious!!

I don't have an Arqade account, I was just browsing and came across that.

Q: Rearrange the sequence

Aim If you are given a sequence such as (A, G, M, _, _, C, D, _, G) your aim is to push all non empty elements to one side to get (A, G, M, C, D, G, _, _, _). You must preserve the order of the non-empty elements. Rules You are free to choose the sequence type. (strings, numbers, containers e...

@PhiNotPi @Calvin'sHobbies Are you two seriously playing minecraft right now?

Alex A.

For serious.

Do you play Minecraft, @TheNumberOne?

TheNumberOne

Eh, I played Mineshafter for a while. I got bored very quickly.

Alex A.

What's Mineshafter?

TheNumberOne

Something that I thought was an illegal free version of minecraft. Apparently though, it isn't.

Alex A.

Huh. Okay.

There is, however, an illegal free version of Minecraft. It's called Illegally Downloaded Minecraft. :P

TheNumberOne

10:21 PM

Urm, apparently the legality of it has changed since I last checked.

Just uninstalled it.

Alex A.

Okay.

Calvin's Hobbies

@TheNumberOne Alex and I were. (we've had trouble getting Phi connected)

TheNumberOne

@Katya Did you get my earlier message about your KOTH ?

Calvin's Hobbies

@TheNumberOne You can join the PPCG minecraft server (but you need a legit MC account(

Alex A.

He said he played Mineshafter (which I guess is similar?) and got bored of it.

Calvin's Hobbies

10:34 PM

But we would be there

Alex A.

:D

TheNumberOne

@Calvin'sHobbies maybe someday, when I'm really bored and willing to cough up an arm and a leg

Calvin's Hobbies

$30?

Alex A.

? Minecraft isn't expensive.

Less than 30

TheNumberOne

I'm frugal.

Alex A.

10:34 PM

Me too, but I like Minecraft.

It's not Steam Summer Sale cheap but it isn't Skyrim expensive.

BrainSteel

It was cheaper when it was in beta ;)

Alex A.

^ truth

That's actually when I got it

BrainSteel

Same here.

Calvin's Hobbies

Thats way cheaper than a movie for example. considering hours of entertainment per dollar

TheNumberOne

I don't like playing games very much.

@Calvin'sHobbies That's why I've never paid my own way to go to a theater.

Calvin's Hobbies

10:36 PM

@PhiNotPi Still no luck? (I can see you trying to log on)

PhiNotPi

I'm still not on the whitelist.

Calvin's Hobbies

I really don't know what's going on. Alex and Sp has no issues

BrainSteel

Enter PhiNotPi

Alex A.

Whitelist PhiNotPi

Calvin's Hobbies

@PhiNotPi You sure you have a valid account?

BrainSteel

10:37 PM

What's the server's name/credentials?

PhiNotPi

I have the email receipt from Mojang.

Alex A.

Name: Mr. Potato Head, Credentials: Registered Nurse

Calvin's Hobbies

@BrainSteel IP is 167.114.158.78 , I'll need to whitelist you

PhiNotPi

If my account were illegitimate, it wouldn't say a whitelist error, it would have invalid session.

Alex A.

Is it the same account you were using when you had a cracked version?

@Calvin'sHobbies Need port too though, right?

BrainSteel

10:39 PM

Just as soon as I remember my password.

Calvin's Hobbies

This is what I get when I do /whitelist list: 06.06 18:40:54 [Server] Server thread/INFO Sp3000, ararslan, HelkaHomba, phinotpi and pairleebel

PhiNotPi

Just the bare IP sends me to a 1.7.10 server

Calvin's Hobbies

So Phi is "on" the list, but something else is weird

Alex A.

Capitalization? Is is PhiNotPi?

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. Maybe? I didn't. IP: 167.114.158.78, port: 25932

PhiNotPi

10:40 PM

It is "PhiNotPi"

BrainSteel

My password is lost in the void.

Alex A.

Gone but not forgotten

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. I typed it in with the caps. I'm not sure why it shows up as lowercase

PhiNotPi

try removing phinotpi and then adding PhiNotPi

Alex A.

No wait, yes forgotten

BrainSteel

10:41 PM

Forgotten, but not gone

Alex A.

Yes ^

Calvin's Hobbies

@PhiNotPi Tried that earlier (But I'll try again)

PhiNotPi

ugh

Alex A.

All this work will be so worth it.

If you see a hole in an otherwise flat plain, that's where I'm going to show up when I log back on. I was hiding. It's where I was planning to build my abode.

Calvin's Hobbies

Removed and readded you (still listed as phinotpi instead of PhiNotPi)

PhiNotPi

10:44 PM

Try removing me multiple times?

To make sure I'm off.

Calvin's Hobbies

I did. I tried the caps and no caps version. The second time it say phinotpi cannot be removed (because you already were)

Alex A.

The server has a serious vendetta against Phi.

PhiNotPi

My piracy made the Minecraft gods angry.

Calvin's Hobbies

You could try changing your username.

PhiNotPi

Purchasing is not enough, they demand a blood sacrifice.

Calvin's Hobbies

10:46 PM

(I've also tried /whitelist reload and restarting the server)

BrainSteel

I'm pretty sure I've gone through every password I've ever used for anything.

Calvin's Hobbies

@BrainSteel Can you not change it?

TheNumberOne

@PhiNotPi Did you see my earlier comment in chat on @Katya 's Koth?

PhiNotPi

No

BrainSteel

I can't remember my email address.

Alex A.

10:48 PM

Haha

BrainSteel

I'm very bad at keeping track of these things.

Alex A.

How do you log into SE?

BrainSteel

I stay logged in.

If I disappear suddenly for a long time, you know what happened.

PhiNotPi

I will attempt to change names

Alex A.

How do you ever receive emails?

BrainSteel

10:49 PM

My mac is synced with those addresses. I don't have to remember those passwords.

Calvin's Hobbies

@PhiNotPi That's my best guess. I'm not even sure if this is an issue with the server or mojang.

Alex A.

Didn't Microsoft buy Mojang?

If so, there's your problem.

TheNumberOne

@BrainSteel Your browser might remember last time you logged in.

BrainSteel

Ahhh, it might.

PhiNotPi

Microsoft did buy Mojang

I can change my name, it appears.

What should it be, I wonder? Best not try phinotpi.

TheNumberOne

10:51 PM

@PhiNotPi What's your real name?

Alex A.

Phineus, Not Pi...ter?

PhiNotPi

Piter?

Calvin's Hobbies

ENotPi

BrainSteel

Wait, what... I managed to log in. I had typed that password like 76 times.

TheNumberOne

yesterday, by TheNumberOne

@Katya Your execution time limit is unrealistic for programs executed from command line. I would suggest using IO through pipes instead.

@BrainSteel Good job :)

Alex A.

10:53 PM

@PhiNotPi Pi... Pe... Peter. Piter. Idk, whatever.

BrainSteel

I blame caps lock. It was clearly caps lock's fault.

Where's that wheel O' blame?

Alex A.

Sure, blame Geobits for the fact that you forgot your email address and didn't notice caps lock. :P

Calvin's Hobbies

Though he will need to know his username to get on...

BrainSteel

I swear I turned caps lock off. Geobits turned it back on.

Calvin's Hobbies

:P

BrainSteel

10:54 PM

I know my username, but not my email address or password, haha.

Alex A.

Haha

It amuses me so much that you don't know your email address

PhiNotPi

I just watched the horse race.

Alex A.

...?

BrainSteel

Well, my account is probably linked to an old email address from several years ago.

PhiNotPi

That's all.

BrainSteel

10:56 PM

My username is LootBeer.

Calvin's Hobbies

@BrainSteel Added to whitelist

Are you getting on?

Alex A.

@BrainSteel Why is that your username?

Calvin's Hobbies

(Multiplayer -> Add server -> fill in IP)

BrainSteel

I am indeed attempting to get on. I'm getting an outdated server error.

PhiNotPi

^ same problem here.

BrainSteel

11:00 PM

@AlexA. Because I like root beer, and I thought it was clever. You know, several years ago.

PhiNotPi

you need the port number

25932

Alex A.

@BrainSteel :)

BrainSteel

Where do I put that number? I haven't had to do this in ages.

PhiNotPi

add it to the end of the IP like X.X.X.X:25932

Alex A.

IP:Port

BrainSteel

11:01 PM

I knew that... Kinda.

Alex A.

I was able to get on just fine

Must just be the port?

Calvin's Hobbies

>.< you do need the port, sorry. (I had pasted it in just didn't remember)
