You can remove the document.getElementById('sayit-button').dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click')); to test it without pinging everyone -.-

@TuxCopter fixed :)

I'd be curious to see the linked posts stats on codegolf. Namely, I want to see how much more the sandbox is linked to than anything else

@drobilc Go to the Sandbox for that.

Still, pinging everyone, even in the Sandbox is not really nice

@TuxCopter If they don't like it, they can leave the room.

The room even says you can test anything except flagging.

yeah, I agree. Sandbox is free game

It even says in the description of the room that it won't upset anyone.

I even exploited an XSS vulnerability in a Chrome extension (now patched) to Rickroll anyone who had it and moused over my post. I mostly Rickroll'd myself over and over by accident. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/32894700#32894700

@mbomb007 wow, awesome :D

haha

Hmm, I was thinking of asking for PPM output only in this challenge just to make it a little less of a headache

Is anyone willing to review some code I put together to check if a day is a holiday?

ok

Should I allow other uncompressed image formats?

@confusedandamused golfed or real

i realize the implication i just made

deal with it

@Poke Sorry - should have specified - non-golfed :)

@confusedandamused based off of what list?

federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/k8.htm

i might take a look after lunch

speaking of which

bye

hmmm...

Never had that before lol

sec

@TuxCopter we just have to wait for time to overflow and wrap around again

pastebin.com/A1Cp9HCY

@PhiNotPi What if the number is arbitrary precision? D:

@PhiNotPi So long as it's not running PowerShell underneath, since that won't allow overflows (see above).

Chat poll: what image formats should I allow for output? I'm leaning towards just PPM

all?

^

Sheesh it seems like every challenge I'm thinking of to test out this new scoring has already been done as a popcon

@quartata All formats. Anyone can view PNG, GIF, JPG, etc.

TIFF

BMP

But I don't want anything compressed or vector

swg

@TimmyD Ah, the swag image format. Love it.

So at first I thought of inpainting but that's been done

LenPEG

@MitchSchwartz Did you mean "peg leg"?

Then I thought of "paint a still life with a CA still life" but that's been done too

@quartata Why not compressed?

@mbomb007 Hah. I meant that to say swf but it's funny that way, too.

PNG/JPG are very widely used formats

dangermouse.net/media/future.html

Damn, I only have FF 49

@DmitryKudriavtsev Because compression would make their code more complicated and hurt their score?

There is no reason to allow it

Just make it a c hoice of format

If they want to do it let them do it

There is no reason to disallow it either

^

It would also make my code a lot more complicated

convert it to bmp pbefore comparison or something

lol

For what reason? The challenge won't be about compression it's graphical output. And it isn't code golf

@quartata If you don't have a specific reason to restrict it, just leave it open. Same as with programming languages.

An uncompressed raster format just seems like the easiest for everyone

@mbomb007 I need to have a good idea about what formats will be used ahaead of time though

@quartata Why?

Just allow png, gif, jpg, tiff, bmp, ppm, etc.

So I know to detect and convert them appropriately

@quartata Just allow a few, and have users ask you if they want to do a different one.

anyone using notepad++ here?

No

Use vim

@drobilc Not at the moment, but yes.

I use Notepad or Notepad++ to write BF, or SMBF.

Or anything similar.

Notepad for BF and Notepad++ for SMBF?

^ depends. Line breaks in Notepad suck.

@mbomb007 ok, i was just wondering if you could try something

start recording a macro, press home button and then spacebar

@drobilc I don't use macros.

ok then

I did it.

Idk what's happening, though.

Space at the beginning, followed by a space at the end

@mbomb007 did the app crash?

alternating every other playback

@drobilc no

@mbomb007 hmmm, weird

Every odd time I run the macro, the space is added to the beginning, every even to the end.

mine does

@mbomb007 ok, thanks :)

@drobilc I have version 6.9.2

And I'm on Windows 7

gonna have to start using vim ;)

or emacs

Is your Notepad++ up to date?

yup

@drobilc ಠ_ಠ

One sec. I'm updating to 7.1

star for

vim

emacs

You sure you're up to date?

@mbomb007 maybe not

wait a second

@drobilc I wish I could give downstars

nope, updating now

@TuxCopter haha :D

@drobilc Please no vote-by-stars in here.

Use a strawpoll.

@quartata What do you think my next steps should be regarding the meta post? I feel like the support is generally in favor of keeping it open, but not necessarily because it's on-topic per se.

@El'endiaStarman sorry

i can't delete it :/

@mbomb007 working now, thanks

And so, I wonder if I should make another meta post specifically regarding your proposal of whether such challenges (talking more about popcons in general) should be considered on-topic.

@xnor Or you can use an old Pringles commercial: "Once you pop, you can't stop"

@drobilc It's alright, just don't do it again. Strawpolls are better.

We're all over the place on that topic.

Me, solving the mysteries of the universe

@drobilc Wtf am I looking at...

@drobilc wtf

@mbomb007 Is it a play on Buffalo Bill's line in Silence of the Lambs?

do people talk on the discord

What Discord room?

The PPCG room? There's never talking, only sounds of keyboard clicking and breathing.

PPCG have a Discord room?

Ye

linky?

Uh, one sec...

Oh for f*cks sake. I hate Discord so much. Together with any other resource wasting bull that came out of electron / node (looking at you VSC, Atom, Github Desktop and Slack). I just opened Discord and it allocated all of my remaining 3 GB of memory and swapping kicked in. Damn it.

Next try after hard reset...

huh

i've only ever used discord via chrome

May take a few seconds, I have to re-auth because Discord thinks my login location is suspicious.

bruh

...

I've registered with a throw-away mail address. Can't recover my account.

._.

@TimmyD I haven't seen it.

Well, actually forwarding is set up from that trash address. But looking at my GMail alias logs, the other provider decided July 28 to delete all of my mails.

And disable the forwarding.

I once created an account like: 666lluminati@gmail.com

and you didn't get assassinated for it?

@MitchSchwartz He's one of the devs for Half Life 3.

I sent emails to illuminati666@gmail.com thinking that they were the illuminati, soon after, I was unable to access the account

what do you guys use to view docx files?

@NathanMerrill Google Docs

I've been using wordpad, and I hate it

Google docs

Ninja

I don't really want to upload them

:/

Google Docs is easier to use

Google Docs -> Save as ODT. Use WordPad or LO to edit.

right, but there are lots of documents, and its more of a "download and view"

I don't really need an additional step of uploading to google docs

Then use word

@NathanMerrill You can batch-upload and autoconvert in Google Docs.

Oh.

@mınxomaτ its always one at a time

Google Docs is easy to use

Uploading it barely takes a minute

aka, I'm doing development, and somebody submits and issue in a docx format.

Use Google Docs, you can share Google Docs files with anyone you choose

Then get Office. Or LibreOffice, but the latter is usually painful to use.

I can't force that on them

@mınxomaτ bah, I was trying to avoid libreoffice

but maybe I'll try it out

What's your current problem with WordPad anyway?

images.

when you scroll, they scroll all at once

Google Docs is the long-lasting solution

the documents are image heavy, and so scrolling usually jumps way more than I want to

@KritixiLithos no its not! I don't want to keep these documents, I just want a quick way to view them

Also, why in the world are issues submitted as DOCX? Why not use a portable format like RTF?

@mınxomaτ most of our customers aren't really tech friendly

With Google Docs, you can view the files whenever you want to (even in offline mode once you enable it)

The files are with you wherever you go

right, but the quick is the important part. It requires me to open a window to google docs, then upload, then finally view

Less than a minute

my current process takes 1-2 seconds

@NathanMerrill I don't get this. You probably receive issues via email / web. You can set your browser to open documents in Google Docs without uploading them: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/office-editing-for-docs-s/…

If you're just looking to view them, you can use the free Word Viewer

support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/891090

nah, I get them via asana

@TimmyD oooh, perfect

forgot that that existed

@mınxomaτ looking into this

You'll likely also need the compatibility pack (linked on that page) if the Word version is new

yeah, the extension might work. is it similar to how chrome opens pdfs?

@mınxomaτ oh, this is even better. this removes a step entirely. I simply click, and it opens.

from 2 clicks to 1 :)

thanks
