@Qwerp-Derp discord.gg/CxNNA
> ps. My eanglish not god
Just found this on a YTB comment
Like it's not obvious
@TuxCopter Never read comments on YouTube. Lots of these are crap.
But some of these are pure grammatical gold
13:20
I've updated github.com/schas002/Muho starting writing the font's base.
The a looks... well, idk how.
So are we ditching this in favour of Discord or...?
@Qwerp-Derp Nope, TNB still remains.
What would you personally use then
@Qwerp-Derp SE chat.
@zyabin101 That font... is that part of yours?
It doesn't look good IMO
13:23
@Qwerp-Derp Yes, it's my font.
I got 75 posts edited, soon will be 80.
@Qwerp-Derp The a isn't.
A whole lot of effort for not a lot of reputation, editing.
and it appears the edit link has been disabled on SO, entire site
5 pending edits is too little
Just accepted 5 answers from old questions
13:41
@Qwerp-Derp But you can tell what I should change in the repo issues.
@zyabin101 That's true
I wish you could get rep for reviewing, even a small bit. Like +2 per five reviews.
FontForge said I can't design fonts, so I removed the font repository.
@zyabin101 ... Why did FontForge say that?
Because it dumbily added lots of glyphs just because it wanted, and I can't delete them.
I moved all development to Type light and fluffy-waddle.
13:54
Does anyone know how to get explicit TLS/SSL over FTP with git?
I don't.
How about Git for Windows Remote Repos?

Q: Optimising the Intermagpie-Gap

muddyfishEverybody knows that magpies change how lucky you are. The question is how long it takes for the luckiness to restart. In case you don't know, the number of magpies you see determines if you are going to be lucky or not. After a certain amount of time after the first magpie was seen (the interma...

@NewMainPosts I don't get my hat in the onebox ;(
14:28
bash is a readonly language for complex scripts
there is just way too much sig. whitespace
My goal: earn +25 rep a day, in a year I'l be a 10k+
I wish you could get rep for marking questions as duplicate - more than if you answered the question yourself.
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Gives an incentive to dupe tons of questions unjustly.
If the asker accepts your dupe, and frequent audits
I again use two tools: Type light for the heavy work, and FontForge to tidy up.
Will publish Ho soon.
14:41
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ pretty dumb for big sites, SO regularly has 5k+ close vote reviews.
but for small sites, yeah
Eh, even for PPCG, we don't need additional incentives to review close votes. Our queues are always empty.
Oh yeah, now that there's more people in here. Care to take a look at my Sandbox post again? meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/11035/47581
Edited in some stuff about the orientation of the polygons since last time
Oooh, I like the title.
That was Martin's idea :D
You can find our discussion in the transcript
I read that part, actually. I think I just missed that specific one.
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I got new secret hat (so I'm 2 hats behind you now) :)
(-x-)
@Sherlock9 Also, Discord now has a deejay bot.
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ But for triage and the other smaller queues.
Suggested Edits looks small, but it takes quite long for suggested edits to be approved
+55 rep today
Yes, the PPCG Discord server now has a music bot. Unfortunately, it is bugging out. Will keep you updated
@El'endiaStarman Any feedback?
@Sherlock9 Seems fine to me.
15:01
Alright I might post it before bed
please help me, my boss is a lost cause
I earned don't want to taco 'bout it, after editing
I think it's edit several questions without leaving a comment (in one day?)
@KritixiLithos which one?
"Like Clockwork" fitting for my Big Ben challenge ;)
@GabrielBenamy Okay how can we help you?
15:15
@Sherlock9 rewrite my boss's code into something usable pls
I don't know if we can, for a first problem. A lot of us aren't on the same continent as you
Ah. In that case, not without payment in either money, aspirin, or alcohol
Or some combination of the above
Let's just say that javascript is not my boss's strong suit.
His strong suit is the beige one, but the silver one just looks so shiny :D
Okay, seriously now, what did he do to JS?
Is the code unreadable, un-parse-able, heavily insecure, or some combination of the above?
and from the looks of it, PHP isn't his best, either
it doesn't work and I'd have to basically scrap it and redo it
I write unreadable code every day, but at least I can get it to do what I need it to do when all is said and done.
If he doesn't know JS and PHP, why is he writing JS and PHP?
15:22
because he's the ceo of the company
he's of the "how hard can it be?" mindset
I think a pretty major part of PHP programmers don't know PHP at all, but use it because it's one of the easiest languages ever.
and we don't have a null coalescent operator because it's 5.6
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Robo-reviewing is already a problem, and rewarding reviews with rep would only serve to make it worse.
3
@Dennis you're right. Editing should have give more reputation though
That is possibly troublesome, too.
Editing a challenge moves it to the front page
15:25
@Sherlock9 At least it's not JDSL
@Sherlock9 On SO.
It doesn't move a question to the front page on SO?
Anyway, after a certain point, rep encourages any edits, not just helpful edits
Made another informal proposal. :3
Junk Dysfunctional Shi System Language?
And I have forgotten strikethrough again
Also, rep is awarded for contributions to the content on the site. Hence, upvotes on questions and answers, answer accepts, bounties, and approved edits.
15:34
~test~
rip
there we go
@mınxomaτ This is beautiful
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ On every SE site
15:39
@Doorknob I know, but extra rep for suggested edits should only apply on SO
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Oh so that's your plan?
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ oppose

Posted "It's factors all the way down!"
I like to post non pure code golf challenges - often doing quine, polyglot, restricted-source or in combination
generator-node hates me, tries to publish my new package with no permission from me.
15:51
@zyabin101 dude, not everything hates you
CMC: your current pinned tabs
None at all.
Pinned tabs?
QtWeb doesn't allow pinned tabs.
@KritixiLithos In Firefox, Chrome and Opera, you can pin tabs to save them from accidental closing and intentional opening (in some cases).

Q: It's factors all the way down!

Sherlock9This challenge is inspired by this fantastic animated diagram (thanks to flawr for posting it in chat). Given an input n, draw all of its prime factors as nested polygons of dots, as specified. For example, given the number 357 = 17x7x3, you arrange 3 dots in a triangle, 7 versions of those tri...

I have soundcloud, TNB, devdocs.io, and usaco.org
15:55
I never knew, ok pinning TNB and PPCG and WB2016 now
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ I have none at all.
I have 3 now
I accidentally read the wrong thing, sorryoops
@zyabin101 way too privacy invasion
CMC: # of tabs
14 for me
@zyabin101 TIL, thank you!!!
15:58
@zyabin101 At all? I wouldn't be offended if you said yes, because it could benefit your country
QtWeb doesn't allow pinned tabs, so none at all.
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Yes.
@zyabin101 Huh.
That is what NPR got from russians when they asked them
@muddyfish Too long.
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ does that make it unclear?
16:04
@muddyfish No, but if you could make it concise it would have a higher chance of being reopened.
I'm not sure how to reword it so it is both clear and consise
@muddyfish make a fuzzy overall description in one part, put an <hr> and put the specifics in a second part
hemingwayapp.com might help

Q: In how many bits do I fit

Bassdrop CumberwubwubwubFor any positive 32-bit integer (1 ≤ n ≤ 0xFFFFFFFF) output the number of bits needed to represent that integer. Test cases | n | n in binary | bits needed | |----------------------------------| | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 10 | 2 | | 3 | 11 | ...

@KritixiLithos Might as well pin TIO too
16:15
Pinned it now, although I unpinned TNB and PPCG since I couldn't see the new messages indicator in the title
Sure you can. Just not the number,
not for me
it just has the favicon
^ same for me
@mınxomaτ what browser do you have?
Chrome.
16:17
hm, not for me
Firefox does something similar.
my new message indicator is a * after the words
Chrome previously had a subtle, almost invisible light animation. Now there's the dot.
hm, must be specific to whatever OS you have
This is how it looks in FF (fresh install)

Q: Clone yourself!

PythonMasterYou are to create a program that creates exact clones of itself infinitely until stopped. Whatever is in the original program must be in the clones. In other words, the clones and original program are the same in every way except for that the clones are text files. Example: If my original progr...

Know any good YouTube channels/series I can easily lose several hours to?
16:26
I have exactly 200 bronze badges. :D
other than the vsauce one no
Kurzgesagt
@DJMcMayhem congrats!
@LegionMammal978 Helka Homba's Another Adventure. :P
@KritixiLithos Watched that already
16:26
@DJMcMayhem ok V is freaking hard
@KritixiLithos Watched that already
and it doens't like math
@zyabin101 k
any way to convert a number to a different base in vim at all?
16:27
Probably but it's not easy
(Also, fun fact: I only recently figured out how to spell Kurzgesagt correctly)
What bases? If it's binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal it's probably easier
binary only
:%!xxd -b should work (from google)
for vim
Binary to...
16:28
but how do I take input for vim?
Kurzgesagt's animations are awesome
@DJMcMayhem dec to bin
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ That question has a lot of answers already
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ here's a start

Q: How do I replace a character with its hex value?

DJMcMayhemI want to replace a character with its hex literal. For example before regex: h After regex: 0x68 I'm trying this: s/\([a-z]\)/\=printf("%#02x", submatch(0))/ But this replaces it with 00 What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible?

Unfortunately it's extremely verbose
What challenge are you answering?
16:31

Q: In how many bits do I fit

Bassdrop CumberwubwubwubFor any positive 32-bit integer (1 ≤ n ≤ 0xFFFFFFFF) output the number of bits needed to represent that integer. Test cases | n | n in binary | bits needed | |----------------------------------| | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 10 | 2 | | 3 | 11 | ...

@DJMcMayhem ok I give up vim is not designed for this
Oh, so it's basically log2(input)?
and ceil the whole thing
No, floor and increment
Why doesn't ceil work?
log2(2^n) = n
16:35
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ vim has a log function
Unfortunately it's the natural log (base e)
You can still do log(x)/log(2)
yeah
@DJMcMayhem what's the input standard for vim?
16:37
You can delete the number and it will be stored in a register
Just put it in the buffer
Or a file and then vim file
I wonder if there's a way to do that challenge just in normal mode
I'm creating a function in Vim. How do I print the register "? I tried echo <C-r>" but it doesn't work
nvm found the solution on Vim.SE
Does @" work?
Q: my challenge will be about approximating. which tag should i use ?
17:18
I'm thinking about a more graphical approach using vim to the "number of bits" question since it is already trivial
0
Q: What time is it in ASCII-land?

carusocomputingThe challenge is simplistic, given an input time in any one of the following formats: hh, hh:mm or hh:mm:ss with 0 < hh < 24, 0 < mm < 60, 0 < ss < 60. Output what time it currently is using the following symbols: AA LABEL FOR ASCII SYMB ASCII HEXIDEC == ==================== ====== ...

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

muddyfishA bit, a nibble or bite? Inspired by this challenge Given an integer, output the minimum sized container it can fit in out of bit: 1 nybble: 4 byte: 8 short: 16 int: 32 long: 64 Testcases: 0 -> 1 1 -> 1 2 -> 4 15 -> 4 16 -> 8 123 -> 8 260 -> 16 131313 -> 32 34359750709 -> 64

@LegionMammal978 Most of my subs to educational channels: Extra Credits, Cody'sLab, Tom Scott, CrashCourse, Physics Girl, 3Blue1Brown, Kurzgesagt, minutephysics, Numberphile, SmarterEveryDay, CGP Grey, Every Frame a Painting, MinuteEarth, Veritasium, Vihart, Vsauce.
I used to really like vihart, but she's stopped doing math and is now mostly politics. :(
@DJMcMayhem Yeah, I feel much the same.
Her early videos are good. The most recent ones, not so much.
17:26
I think hexaflexagons was the last good one
How do you produce a breaking error in a vim function? I tried :norm l since each line is only one character wide but now the function is in an infinite loop
Wait, I think I have a solution
Yaas, I created a decimal to binary converter in vim
@El'endiaStarman The problem is, many of those upload so rarely I've already seen all their videos
17:41
@LegionMammal978 Have you seen the three Dan Recommends videos on Extra Credits?
@El'endiaStarman ?
@KritixiLithos congrats!
Can we have a new rule? No question-mark-only messages. It's pretty hard to answer an unspoken question.
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Thanks, I used did it without logs or baseconversion, just used two functions that convert a decimal number to the binary representation by incrementing and decrementing 0s and 1s
17:45
oh, cool!
But they are very verbose
ouch
link to answer?
@KritixiLithos a function or a macro?
:function!
I have a question though, how do I call functions that are in my .vimrc?
With :call
I'm not sure how to intentionally break a :function!
17:50
But it says the function is unknown
@DJMcMayhem It's ok, I found a way around that, instead of using a macro and calling my function, I just made my function into a recursive function my itself and it works
I even tried calling the Alt() function you made for me (that is in my .vimrc), it still says the function is unknown
Huh. That's weird, I don't know what to tell you
But it works when I create a function in the active vim window and then call it
Could you post your vimrc?
@El'endiaStarman Kind of intended it as a "@El'endiaStarman?", wondering what you meant.
@LegionMammal978 But I don't know what you didn't get.
18:01
@El'endiaStarman I don't get which videos or what channel you're talking about.
@LegionMammal978 Ah, then you must not have Extra Credits in your subs. You have a pretty big backlog to check out there...
@El'endiaStarman Great!
@El'endiaStarman definitely. "?" is about as helpful as a "wat"
@Downgoat Yeah, both are pretty much meaningless.
18:04
@El'endiaStarman Oh, yeah, vaugely remember the voice...
Must've seen a couple of videos
@LegionMammal978 My fiancée now easily recognizes the voice because I've watched so many of them. :P
@KritixiLithos Could this be the problem?
in Vim-golf, Dec 19 at 16:12, by Kritixi Lithos
alias vim="nvim"
> alias vim="vi"
18:07
@DJMcMayhem Yes, that was the problem! But why is it like that? Do I need to have something like a .nvimrc?
Pretty much
It's not actually .nvimrc though. It used to be, then they moved it and pissed a lot of people off
I think it's ~/.config/nvim/init.vim but I don't use neovim very often so I couldn't say for sure
I think I'll stick with vim for now :)
@KritixiLithos aha! bowler hat for me too
@LegionMammal978 ಠ_ಠ
So I've just spend the past hour fighting with my "factors all the way down" code and I can't get the spacing right
18:10
> alias ಠ_ಠ="emacs"
I got 2 secret hats so far
When it finishes drawing, I'll show you a picture of g(10000)
> alias emacs="echo 'ಠ_ಠ'"
@Doorknob clear comments here?
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ WHat's bowler?
18:11
seems to be do something for 9 days straight
it's the like clockwork one
> alias echo="sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root #"
This is plain evil
alias rm="echo \"use nvim to remove rm from .bashrc\" #"
^ That's what I seriously use
Factorization diagram of 10000 except the dots aren't distinguishable
@KritixiLithos how do you remove things?
18:19
4 questions ever to get tumbleweed
all from years ago and now have answers
@betseg vim .bashrc then comment that line out ZZ restart terminal delete vim .bashrc to uncomment that line
ಠ_ಠ
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ It's not really a no-go, it's just that it's going to be incredibly rare, unless someone asks a super boring challenge
Btw you can source .bashrc instead of restating the terminal
@KritixiLithos yeah, but it has to be both hard and boring
and if none are asked by new year, then it's going to be impossible here
because it has to be inactive for a week
18:21
Or make a tips question for a language that nobody use
@betseg For some reason that doesn't work for me
@TuxCopter 3/4 are that, yeah
Golfing tips in HQ9+
@TuxCopter I wouldn't classify MATLAB, F# or Groovy as languages no one uses
@KritixiLithos ah, right, forgot you didn't unalias, just commented. It still alias'd
18:22
@KritixiLithos The problem with that is that would get a lot of attention in the form of downvotes :P
F#/Groovy submissions are pretty rare
@KritixiLithos remove unnecessary whitespace
@quartata I'm suprised at matlab, but f# and groovy aren't too suprising
AppleScript is rarer, I think
If you want to go with rare language, why not a question for ALGOL-58
18:26
carrie fisher passed away today
You could do tips for V and I'll wait before answering it. :P
Yes but the answers and votes will still come
Either every (not literally) SO new user is a foreign language speaker or just lazy
@KritixiLithos VTC often uses it
18:28
or maybe we're just not decompressing the text properly
An answer philosophy: Demonstrate core understanding to the asker, preferably having the asker conclude the correct answer by themselves.

Q: New edit for the new Year

MiguelI am reaching out to you in regards of this this answer, I think it's time to chose the phrase for 2017. Since i'm relatively new here, and i have a few suggestions, i didn't wanted to try edit it. For the last 2 - 3 hours i have been having fun with this, and i got a few hypothesis: sum(map(o...

what's the software?
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ joke failed
@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Huh, I don't think I've heard of Joke Failed before. What does it do?
@EriktheOutgolfer I had 11 hats for like 30minutes! I felt so elite! I guess it takes a bit for the hat-checker to realise you have 11 hats sometimes
18:57
@redstarcoder I remember reading on Meta that the hat-awarding script runs every 10 minutes.
@El'endiaStarman lol, what if it was just a cron job on somebody's laptop
Ah that's possible too :)
Does anyone know what this means in vim Function call depth is higher than 'maxfuncdepth'? I tried googling, but all I get are results with GH
@El'endiaStarman It fails the ambiguity decider for grammar parsers
@redstarcoder The 011 hat was immediately awarded with the 11th hat, at least for me.
@EriktheOutgolfer I have evidence!
