@Dennis Isn't that just the memes post?
 
It's looking VERY likely that Adnan will outgolf Dennis on the lipogram question.
 
YAY
 
10:02 PM
@Mego I was thinking about something like the Chuck Norris/Bruce Schneier/Jon Skeet facts.
(Disclaimer: I'm not actually suggesting we should do this.)
 
I haven't golfed in a while, so I'll ask: is it cheating to redefine what truthy and falsy mean in your explanation of your answer? Example
 
@El'endiaStarman whoa 4 bytes
now I know how he got 6k rep in 3 months
 
@Rainbolt Non-empty strings are truthy in Python, wile empty strings are falsy. I suppose Osable behaves like this, but I haven't checked.
 
It does.
 
10:06 PM
Oh, so that's how you say that language's name
 
Or Osabie
 
Well, the pronunciation is due me. :P
 
Or Usable
 
I actually just say Base.
 
10:07 PM
Is it usable? I can hardly read it
 
No
@quartata That was the intended name haha
 
I'll just call it wasabi since we're all picking names.
 
@quartata For Jolf?
 
@Rainbolt Osabie, Wasabi, why all Japanese names
 
Is Osabie a Japanese name?
 
10:10 PM
Sounds Japanese
 
Osagie is Nigerian. Osabie I can't find at all.
 
:p
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Sorry, what are you replying to?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You need to make your code page look weirder so people have no idea what is going on
 
Oh yes haha

Identical to 437 except the accented chars are replaced with the Hebrew alphabet

I might try to beat you to the answer :P
 
My program worked last night when I finished and didn't work this morning, meaning either my code didn't actually work last night, or that when I woke up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I decided to start programming.
 
Anonymous
And by beat you to the answer I mean help you with it
 
@Mego I mean what chars do you use to make one
 
@MartinBüttner Case in point: I'm learning animal words and from "Die Spinne frisst die Fliege" I was able to deduce that "Spinne" meant spider because of the connection with "spinneret", which is where the silk comes out of a spider, and accordingly "Fliege" must mean "bug", but "fly" is more likely, and indeed, that was correct. Now, I understand that this example is particularly amenable to such deduction, but still. German makes sense to me.

I'm already in the top two pages, but I won't turn down free swag.
 
i'll probably ask my friend who's parents don't care what they do to give it to me and i'll give his address
 
Can I just buy it? I'd love a PPCG tee
If I programmed for fun as a child, I think my parents would have been ecstatic.
Instead I played Halo

Q: That's a prime... almost

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'BʀɪᴇɴIf you've ever learned about primes in math class, you've probably have had to, at one point, determine if a number is prime. You've probably messed up while you were still learning them, for example, mistaking 39 for a prime. Well, not to worry, as 39 is a semiprime, i.e., that it is the product...
