The Nineteenth Byte

Electronic Bach- Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor

@PhiNotPi my favourite section starts at 5:30

call me a heretic, but I actually really like this electronic rendition (although the video is 100% stupid cringe =/):

►

it's just much easier to hear the complexity this way

Wow, that is the weirdest video.

So many dank memes in one video

yes, the video is dumb

The guy who made it must be super cool and popular

but the music is good

By the way, this ^ is a long and deep rabbit hole into the Sierpinski triangle with many, many, many pretty pictures.

I tried using a CP1256 character in a UTF-8 file in Atom, and it confused the hell out of it

Sounds like something out of Zelda

Really? (I've never actually played Zelda)

Zach Gates

^^

or from the castle levels in Super Mario

Any clue what music from Zelda, then?

(If you actually think there's some kind of accidental-plagiarism-level similarities)

Zach Gates

Nope. never played it

3:26 AM

@PhiNotPi No, it's not close enough for that at all. Just the general feel imo.

Then again, I think all the music I've heard from you has an "old-school game" feel. It's great :D

Anonymous

@PhiNotPi No plagiarism, it's just reminiscent

Anonymous

If that was in a Zelda game, I wouldn't think it was out of place

Zach Gates

@PhiNotPi: Is your music public domain?

or creative commons or what

@PhiNotPi I really suggest checking out major 7th and diminished 7th harmonies

@PhiNotPi also, those chromatic notes leading up to the ground note really don't fit in this style of counterpoint

gives it a blues/jazz feel to it, which I don't believe is what you'd want

Anonymous

The jazzy feel to it is what makes it feel more like a Zelda piece

3:32 AM

@ZachGates I've never really put much thought into licensing.

More bluesy than jazzy: youtube.com/watch?v=Hy0aEj85ifY

@Mego blues?

Mariachi

Mariachi (/mɑːriˈɑːtʃi/; Spanish: [maˈɾjatʃi]) is a musical expression that dates back to at least 19th century Western Mexico. It is a tradition that can be defined by eight socio-musical elements: mariachi instrumentation and texture, musical genres and sub genres, performance methods and styles, singing styles and forms, dance styles, performative space, performance clothing, and the word "mariachi". Each element has its own history, originated at varying moments in time and in different regions of the Western Mexican countryside, and some, not all, had to have converged in order for the mariachi...

"more bluesy than jazzy"

It's closer to a blues feel than a jazz feel, though it's neither

Finally found the song Phi's song made me think of: youtube.com/watch?v=-dZ-iMFGY3Q

@orlp I don't really think I can simply "add in 7th harmonies" like that.

My new chatbot's first answer.

It needs some rep to get into chat.

please tell me you didnt write your chatbot in JS despite what I said

I don't actually make any effort to keep track of which chords I'm using, I just put down what I feel should be there.

@quartata Um... I'm not sure yet. I'll have to decide that once I get the basic stuff (like getting rep) figured out.

OK. Anyways easy +1 for ArnoldC

3:48 AM

@PhiNotPi As an exercise, try constructing a chord progression you like, and then improvise the melody in their scales

always funny

@quartata Indeed. But it has... problems... with string comprehension.

Calvin's Hobbies

@PhiNotPi what body part does programming relate to?

@Calvin'sHobbies The computer.

It's basically one of my body parts at this point.

Side note: one of the most fun things to do as a mod (of another website) is to be the person who gets to explain all of the mod tools to a new team member.

I've made a configuration script template for ninja, a build tool

3:57 AM

Another funny quote was "You knew where I lived this whole time!"

really easy to get going and get fast builds

@orlp Is ninja like Make?

@AlexA. yes

NinjaBearMonkey

Did someone say ninja?

Someone should make a build tool called bearmonkey.

He's a bearmonkey.

4:23 AM

Chatbot or Katbot?

Coolthx @Downgoat

dont bring it into this room or doorknob will whack you with a whale

I demand more cat pictures!

@quartata A whale?

@quartata Don't worry I'll keep it in the Kat's Kradle.

4:24 AM

@Downgoat Yeah. For when a trout just won't do.

@quartata ._.

@Maltysen whaaa? burps

mm! you taste just like cat

4:25 AM

@quartata s/c/K/

Alrighty, now I can go code my chatbot.

Speaking of raisin @Quill you should unleash Santa's Helper again some time. Hangman was fun.

@ӍѲꝆΛҐӍΛПҒЦꝆ If you're going to code it in JS, I recommend using my SE Chatbot Engine :D

dont even

@quartata make a Chatbot in JS?

4:28 AM

@Downgoat I'm doing it from scratch. (For now.)

@ӍѲꝆΛҐӍΛПҒЦꝆ will it be a conversation bot?

@quartata I'll try it first, then see what happens. Then we'll go from there.

@Downgoat You'll see.

oh well i tried

Is it the era of chatbots now?

i remember a time when everyone was making a new golfing esolang

better go drown my sorrows in some perl

Maltysen

4:30 AM

will it post cat memes whenever anyone tries to speak?

meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/8515/45459 this seems like a dupe to me?

golfing chatbot

Chatgoat v1 had a /golf function

It was just for TeaScript right?

@quartata nope, it worked for almost any language

? what did it do

4:32 AM

/golf me a course

@Downgoat <Chatgoat> ĝѬƼɤ is only 2 bytes in the XXB-76 encoding.

@quartata run this in the console of another account: github.com/The-Quill/SO-ChatBot/blob/master/bookmarklet.js

In the chatroom you want to boot it in

@Liam Why not comment that on the post?

@Quill oh I didn't know you had the codez on GitHub.

@Quill what does it do?

4:34 AM

@Downgoat boots up the bot

@AlexA. Well since it's Martin, I figured I'd ask first.

@Quill I get an error: [Error] TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating '$('head link[rel="shortcut icon"]')[0].href.match(/static.net\/([^\/]+)\//)')

The Kat is up!

@quartata it's not my code, it's zirak's code

Kat's Kradle

Here lies the Kat.

4:34 AM

@Liam It's not like Martin is unapproachable. :P

It's pretty useless as of now. It will evolve however.

@Downgoat idk, might be only in chrome or something

In two days, I'll set it up permanently, so I'll set it up in Beep Boop for you to play with

@Quill right but you forked it and added atuff

@AlexA. I know, I just figured they might be something I was missing and I didn't want to look like an idiot

@quartata Zirak's codebase is great as is, I just fixed the weather module and changed the welcome text

@Geobits i'm not sure if you're going to be a good idea.

@Liam The difference is, the one currently posted to main is scored by the largest n such that, if any k characters in s, for 1 <= k <= n, it still outputs s. That one is the specific subset where k = 1. I'd still rule it as a dupe.

@AlexA. okay that's what I thought.

4:51 AM

@Liam Did you mean to ping @Mego?

no?

@Geobits He's never sure if I'm going to be a good idea. Take a chance on me, Marky.

@Liam I don't know what I said that you're replying to though ._.

Well, at least he isn't always insistent on your wrongness. I don't know why he isn't... I thought I raised him better than that.

yes I did

I'm really bad at reading apparently

@Geobits He has his daddy to take care of that for him

4:54 AM

Yea, I'll pick up the slack for him. For now...
