@AlexA. You could always right a batch script that compiles then runs it
 
@FlagAsSpam Yep
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ In about 9 hours.
@AlexA. I don't tell people my sex. o-o Are you sure I didn't just strongly imply it?
 
Yeah
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It is absolutely fine to ping me whenever.
 
@FlagAsSpam Erm
 
9:02 PM
@AlexA. Huh.

Please don't ping me unless I'm in the room - it's 0217 here and I am really, really tired, and pings notify my phone. ;-;
o~o
confused
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Just ignore that. ;P I learned to turn off my phone.
 
@FlagAsSpam Oh! XD
 
@FlagAsSpam Phones have "off" buttons?
 
9:03 PM
No, that's just a myth
 
Right. And if it was an "f" button, it'd be a Pyth

ok people stop abusing pings
 
If there's one thing that The Nineteenth Byte is good at, it's abuse, be that of language features, chat features, or just general social norms.

@Mego Anyhow, ಠ_ಠ
@FlagAsSpam JS is beautiful and you should learn it. Learn ES6.
 
hello @Mego!
@Rainbolt i agree
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ [citation-needed]
 
@Dennis Beauty is subjective.

Why, @Dennis? Why?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ? lol
 
Wait, what?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ, while I like JavaScript, I have to say that a language where [1,2]+[3,4] results in "1,23,4" cannot be said to be "beautiful".

that is a dumb language
 
9:23 PM
OMFG PINGS ARE FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE WTAF
 
@Dennis Edit history makes it a reply from you.
 
@FlagAsSpam really disturbing
 
@TanMath It's not a dumb language.
 
It is really weird though.

@edc65 HELP ME DEFEND JS :D
 
I love the style how callback functions are used.
 
@Dennis Nah. It's wonderful. c:
 
@AlexA. PHP: Please Have Pity
 
js cannot be defended. But we are bound to use it anyway. So you get accustomed to its weirdness
 
@edc65 That's basically my view of JS.

Priscilla Novaes Leone (born October 7, 1977 in Salvador, Bahia), better known as Pitty, is a Brazilian rock singer. She had played in two bands, Shes and Inkoma, before starting her solo career in 2003. She has sold over 15 million copies in her career, being one of the best selling rock artists in the 2000s. Pitty was voted the sexiest rock singer of Latin America and Brazil, and the 35th sexiest rock singer in the world in 2010. Rock in Rio 2011 already has some big names on the Brazilian scene boundary, Pitty is one of them, according to the organizer Roberta Medina, daughter of businessman...

@El'endiaStarman What even is that
 
@El'endiaStarman pi/2?
 
@Dennis yup
 
9:34 PM
@Dennis ...wut.
 
@FlagAsSpam I figure he used Wolfram|Alpha like I did. :P
 
The part to the right of 1/x is a series for sin(x)
 
Cheaters. -.-
 
@FlagAsSpam The power series is clearly sin(x), and the Dirichlet integral has value pi/2.
And no, I did not need Wolfram|Alpha for that. :P
 
._. I've forgotten so much
I was about to grind through it using integration by parts.
 
9:36 PM
For once, I think the caption is wrong because more than 99% would fail
 
Considering that rounding the other way would lead to a 100% failure rate, I guess 99% is a lesser wrong =P
"Are you a genius?" sounds like a better tagline to me than "Are you a rounding error?", too
5
 
The power series looked familiar, but for some reason I didn't actually recognize it as sin(x)
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Why @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ why? lol
 
@El'endiaStarman My sister-in-law's approach: I can't solve the problem, but he shouldn't use Comic Sans.

haha
 
9:41 PM
How into golfing were mathematicians who came up with sin(x) as a shortened form of sine(x) ...
I mean, that's dedication.
 
lol
 
Eh. si(x) is golfier.
 
@TimmyD Not very...
 
@AlexA. s(x) FTW
 
sn(x) is also golfier
 
9:42 PM
se(x)
 
@AlexA. si(x) = 6
 
I actually have a text book that uses s(x) and c(x).
 
@TimmyD Sinus
@AlexA. Sinus integral?
 
@TimmyD well, csc for cosecant is alright
 
@Dennis Burn it
 
9:42 PM
1○x
 
Don't.
 
You could also do something like Fx
 
Today in math class I learned that calculating eigenvalues by hand is not fun.

Ah yes.
 
lol
 
9:43 PM
I could have told you that.
 
Hah
 
@AlexA. No way! I use it for teaching my class.
 
What class?
 
Real Analysis
 
Anonymous
Why would you torture your students like that? Oh right, teacher.
 
9:44 PM
@SuperJedi224 Out of context maybe? :P
 
@Dennis You're teaching them s and c for sine and cosine? D:
 
^
This is C(x):
In mathematical analysis, and especially functional analysis, a fundamental role is played by the space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space with values in the real or complex numbers. This space, denoted by C(X), is a vector space with respect to the pointwise addition of functions and scalar multiplication by constants. It is, moreover, a normed space with norm defined by the uniform norm. The uniform norm defines the topology of uniform convergence of functions on X. The space C(X) is a Banach algebra with respect to this norm. (Rudin 1973, §11.3) == Properties == By Urysohn...
 
50% of the grade is based on the area of the paper you turned in your work on.
 
@RikerW "Find the eigenvalues of this chest matrix"
 
9:45 PM
lol
 
@Dennis What level? My undergraduate level real analysis course was nice, but when I took the graduate level one I hated everything forever.

@Calvin'sHobbies Not square, can't be done
 
re: sin(x), I'm looking through the APL symbol table right now, and it feels so golfy =P
 
@AlexA. Undergrad, I think.
 
9:47 PM
@Dennis You think? Aren't you the one teaching it? XD
 
@AlexA. Even being wrong? :(
 
@Mego You pad it with wool and creeper heads
 
@Calvin maybe?
 
Yeah, I though Enter would auto-complete >_>
 
@AlexA. I never understood the levels of US education. You use very weird names for stuff.
 
9:47 PM
^
 
Sorry about that! I'm new to SE chat =P
 
@Dennis Like what?
 
As an american, I agree.
 
@Dennis Undergraduate is everything in university before master's/PhD.
 
Like graduate and undergraduate. :P
 
9:48 PM
1st grade through 12th grade is simple enough
 
Graduate level means part of a master's or PhD program
 
Undergraduate it is.
 
Oh, okay.
 
Grade/under isn't too bad, but ask me what level "sophomore" is and I'd have no idea
 
2nd year
 
9:49 PM
@AlexA. It becomes fun in Canada when there's really just one level before the Master's
 
So "undergrad" covers exactly "bachelor's", as far as I know
 
53,000,000 vs 214,000?
 
@El'endiaStarman Pi/2 ?
 
@Sp3000 freshman = year 1, sophomore = year 2, junior = year 3, senior = year 4. Can apply to high school or college.
super senior can mean year 5
 
9:50 PM
What is the difference between high school and college?
 
^
@Calvin'sHobbies That's just needlessly complicated.
 
You receive a bachelor's degree in college
 
^^ Ditto Dennis
 
Ah, nevermind. You can also do a minor, a major, a certificate...
 
But you cannot get a masters degree?
 
9:51 PM
You get that in graduate school.
 
@flawr what country are you? France?
 
No
 
@flawr yep
 
@RikerW Slightly more in the east.
 
Okay. Belgium?
 
9:52 PM
translate: colegio
(from Spanish) College
 
Nope, but there is good chocolate too=)
 
@flawr Nothing really for those terms. You might say "I'm a sophomore in high school" (10th grader), or "I'm a college freshman" (first year in college).
 
@Dennis What are you talking about? You've got pre-kindergarten, kindergarten (which may or may not be lumped in with Elementary School), then Elementary school usually grades 1-4, then middle school grades 5-8, unless the district is instead a Junior High, in which case 1-5 is Elementary and 6-9 is Junior High, then High School where you're a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior even though it's 9-12, then four years of college/undergrad (again Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior)...
Simple, really.
 
@Dennis That's funny, because it means high school.
 
@flawr Switzerland?
@Dennis this be true? VV
 
9:53 PM
Bingo!
 
@TimmyD Middle school for was 6-8
 
@TimmyD At my school, we have "upper school", which is 7-12.

See? Simple. :D

@flawr High school is part of primary education. It's years 9-12 of the general public education. College and university are used mostly interchangeably in the US, though there technically is a distinction - colleges only offer undergraduate degrees, while universities offer undergraduate and graduate degrees. Also colleges can be specific fields in a university's organization. For instance, my degree is from Stephen F. Austin State University, from the College of Science and Mathematics.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Didn't think anybody else had that. :P
 
@AlexA. the line between elementary/middle/high is not strict
 
@RikerW you two? :D
 
^^
 
@Mego Oh now I understand! Thank you!
 
9:54 PM
High school can also be called secondary school
 
Anonymous
@TimmyD The names also vary by region. In my public school district, elementary was K-6, middle was 7-8, and high was 9-12
 
^ is normal around where I live.
 
@Mego This is a really nice explanation.
 
My hometown district built a new mega-school and have K-8 together and then 9-12 in a separate high school
 
Australia: Primary school 1-6, High school 7-12
For NSW, anyway
 
9:55 PM
Lower school 1-5, middle school 6-8, upper school 9-12

@AlexA. :D
 
Canada: Primary school 1-6, Secondary/High school... 1-5 again =P

@Doorknob That's also a common one in Texas :P
 
9:56 PM
Although that might be a French education thing, not sure =/
 
Most school districts around SC are elementary K-5, middle 6-8, high 9-12.
 
@Doorknob Your state does weird things
 
@Doorknob er, s/1/K/

@AlexA. Agreed, since it's also my state :P

Don't listen to Alex. Washington will just clog your sinuses
 
Washington is objectively the best state in the US.

@AlexA. My family is actually thinking of moving there....
^^
 
@AlexA. Isn't that only if you like a lot of rain?
 
Where in Washington?
 
I went to like 6 or 7 different schools in my K-12 education.
 
morning
 
9:58 PM
@AlexA. IDK, I am not the planner. Near Seattle I think.
 
@Justin People think that Washington gets more rain than it actually gets.
@Quill No it's not, but hello. :P
 
Not only did I move, but different school districts organized their grade-levels differently.
 
Minnesota is the best
 
@Quill 2:00 for me... :P
 
9:59 PM
@AlexA. I heard that Washington/Oregon doesn't have a drought, though.
 
@PhiNotPi g l rade
 
At least there are some regions of the state(s) which get a lot of rain.
