you can get 384 if you allow going to the left of the starting point, but this will require understanding how it works :) (or taking it from my anarchy golf submission)

i tried and it said it was too late

It's always too short when you need it :D
 
@AlexA. Is there a "jump to line" feature in Atom?
 
8:03 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Uh, try Ctrl+G?
 
@AlexA. :D Thanks
 
Did that work?
 
Nice!
 
Though I lost my place testing it :P
 
8:04 PM
haha
 
Is there a "jump to last position"?
 
Atom cheatsheet: d2wy8f7a9ursnm.cloudfront.net/atom-editor-cheat-sheet.pdf (idk what you'd use in place of the command key, which is Mac-specific)
 
@AlexA. CTRL I suppose.
 
@mınxomaτ Usually
 
8:06 PM
That's what I would assume, but some of these commands already use Ctrl. So maybe Alt.
Who knows.
 
^^
not alt ?
Oh, maybe Fn
 
@mınxomaτ Based on a little research, no. However, there seems to be a package that adds that functionality.
 
Most apple mice don't have right click, so they use ctrl+click where windows would use right click. Usually.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Fn is usually not accessible by any program.
 
@SuperJedi224 The newer Apple mice have right click.
 
8:09 PM
My last bet would be WIN
 
@mınxomaτ ʏᴇᴀʜ, ᴛʀᴜᴇ
 
@AlexA. So apple finally did at least that much right.

@BlockCoder1392 Hi
 
@NinjaBearMonkey Are you a web developer of some kind?
 
@AlexA. I do it for fun, but nothing professional

Ah, okay. What do you do professionally?
 
I'm a student :P
 
Oh, okay. Nice! University?

Anyone know how to make a regex matching everything except "github.com"?
 
What flavor regex?
 
whatever stylish uses
 
I don't know what stylish is (aside from the adjective)

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ wait it doesn't work
 
@BlockCoder1392 Wait really?
 
I don't know that the rather limited regex flavor the addon uses for that supports negation
 
@quintopia what is the meaning of your wrapping question? The program starts with a minus, after all.
i guess non-wrapping means cells can be signed bignums and the code would still work?
 
Except the mozilla developer article on the css @document rule implies that it uses full JS regex, so I don't know

@BlockCoder1392 There are a lot of font questions on Graphic Design.

Well, that apple didn't fall too far from the tree :P
 
Sexuality was closed.
 
9:02 PM
really?
I didn't know that
 
And I think gender identity would not have been covered there.
 
@MitchSchwartz non-wrapping can vary. it could either mean signed bignums, or that incrementing MAXINT does nothing.

@El'endiaStarman I also just like this format of a talk, by a radio moderator but stil involving slideshows=)

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ For some pairs of languages (IE any two Trivial Brainf*** Substitutuions) this is prettty trivial
 
@SuperJedi224 ^^^
 
@flawr Me too. Hey, Radiolab did one like that on the extinction of dinosaurs. Have you seen that one?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Too vague.
 
@SuperJedi224 Perhaps a pop-con
 
Maybe
 
9:09 PM
@El'endiaStarman Radiolab? Never heard of that.
 
@quintopia ^^^^^^^^^
 
Does the transpiler have to be in language X, or can it be in language Z?
 
So it is like this:
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Pointing out that you recognize there are problems doesn't prove they can be fixed. Suggest solutions.
 
EXample.
 
9:10 PM
I was thinking in language X. Language Z might be complex enough, whilst X and Y be trivial
 
Maybe `How to make stupid SE sites SE`?

@quintopia Point out problems.
 
OK, so according to some older messages, I now need to add Array.prototype.fill and String.prototype.search to Japt. Any other requests?
 
@ETHproductions import antigravity equivalant. :P
 
9:11 PM
What if X is a fairly complex language, but Y isn't?
 
@ETHproductions Match?
 
Aww, no captioning.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I mean, given that this amounts to "write a compiler" whenever language Y is specified, several existing "write a BLAH interpreter" already do this. It feels like a meta-duplicate of half the site.

@El'endiaStarman so do you have the current code in any repo anywhere?
 
Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία, geographia, lit. "earth description") is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of Earth. A literal translation would be "to describe or picture or write about the earth". The first person to use the word "geography" was Eratosthenes (276–194 BC). Four historical traditions in geographical research are spatial analysis of the natural and the human phenomena (geography as the study of distribution), area studies (places and regions), study of the human-land relationship, and research in the Earth sciences...
 
9:37 PM
Geology and Geography are both sciences, people!
 
@Maltysen Not yet. Still mulling over how best to do that.

I mean, it'd be a single HTML file and a single JS file (and maybe a CSS file too). A whole Git repo is kinda overkill and the work it takes to set up the process whereby you can change the code on the site just by pushing to GitHub is not exactly easy. Seems a bit much for so little.

Speaking of astrology, I'm reading a book that's a collection of science historians' essays debunking many myths of science, like Newton's apple. One of those myths was that astrology and alchemy were little more than superstitions. There was actually a lot of observation and methodology in those fields. They just became astronomy and chemistry, and what remains today is the most superficial stuff.

Hey mods, I have a question: I noticed a recent meta question, meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/7887/… was closed as a duplicate of a question that is over 4 years old.

If there are multiple in a short period, close it, but allow new debate after years. @AlexA.

Martin BüttnerWhat is our policy regarding closing an old challenge as a duplicate of a new one? I know this happens on other sites (at least SO), if the newer question is generally better or usually if it gathers better answers (such that the old one acts as a "redirect" to the canonical answer). Now this do...

Type this in your URL bar: javascript:alert(202839 .toString(25)+" "+265540 .toString(25)).
(Don't copy, it auto-removes the javascript: prefix.)
 
@mınxomaτ I've noticed that. Why do you think it does that?
 
@SuperJedi224 To support safe smart bookmarks.
You wouldn't want any website to pollute your clipboard with random JS code, would you.
 
Anyone else ever notice that the textured background moves in chat?
 
9:56 PM
But you can manually add a javascript: url to your bookmarks and it should work
 
@FlagAsSpam I just noticed that there is a textured background.

@SuperJedi224 Yes.

9:58 PM
@isaacg While I agree with your general concern, I think specific case is one of those things that's been kind of discussed continuously throughout the history of the site and the consensus has always been not to discourage any language that meets our definition of a language.
 
@FlagAsSpam The background is textured? [leans in and angles screen] Ah! Extremely subtle.
 
@El'endiaStarman If it is too subtle, chances are your brightness is set too high.
 
textured? i can only see blue
 
@mınxomaτ Nah, probably not enough contrast.
 
on my laptop i can only see it well if i tilt the screen back
it's visible normally but it's too faint to focus on
