What is SEDE?

@Vi. Here's a cookie just to make it feel less like we're all ganging up on you: 🍪

@Vi. Stack Exchange Data Explorer.

@HelkaHomba that is a box. :c

@cat (source)

@QPaysTaxes Which language, Ruby?

If my question "Anti-golfscript anti-golf" were posted now, will it fare well?

What about my musical quesitons (also inherently subjective)?

What about (non-mine) question about transpositioning pixels in a picture to match another picture?

@Vi. The ideas behind your challenges are all pretty interesting. I would focus on that. The scoring for your challenge can come second. Basically, if you can make the winning criteria objective, you should do that. If you can't, then it is acceptable to post it as a pop contest.

@QPaysTaxes base64 </dev/urandom | head -n 1

@QPaysTaxes Markov chains?

@QPaysTaxes use a markov chain if you want it pronunciable

ninja'd

@QPaysTaxes ;_;

@QPaysTaxes it's not?

@QPaysTaxes D:

mall-tease-n

That's how I pronounce it.

< "mall-tee-sin"

/ˈmɑːltiːˌsɛn/

@QPaysTaxes That's how I pronounce it

btw I just got my hundredth overall badge \o/

All these pronunciations of "Maltysen" are what I say in my head. :P

@Doorknob invalid regex. now you have 2 problems

except I forgot about zen

@QPaysTaxes I don't know what that means lol

@Optimizer /bʌt ɪt͜s naːt ə rɛd͜ʒɛks/ :(

@cat That's because a lot of those are combining characters

@QPaysTaxes I think that's supposed to be an arrow. :P

Everything sounds more superficial when you add "lol" at the end lol

@QPaysTaxes blasphemy

@Doorknob invalid again. Gosh you need training!

Oh... yea. < means "This is how I say it." Read my mind next time

^

Rejex rejected?

@QPaysTaxes oh ok, carry on

@HelkaHomba world peace lol

@QPaysTaxes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@QPaysTaxes +1 for the proper pronunciation of "gif".

@Doorknob You pronounce it with a soft g? And I thought you were a well brought up kid too

No, I pronounce it "heef"

what

Djee-ei-eff?

@QPaysTaxes You mean guif?

Does anyone know how to memory map a file in Perl without using syscall?

strawpoll.me/7411762

It's actually pronounced "ih," the g and f are silent

I still don't know how any of you pronounce Maltysen, as I have no idea how y'all say "mall"

This reminds me of when people pronounced Linux "Lie-nux"

Then Linus had to record himself saying it to get people to do it right

It means "graphics interchange format" how about we compromise with "grif"?

@HelkaHomba that seems reasonable

Just golf it down to "g"

@HelkaHomba There's really no need for a compromise when we already know the correct way ;)

@Doorknob How are you pronouncing that...?

I know it's wrong, but it makes sense to me. Linus : LIE-NUSS :: Linux : LIE-NUCKS

Life hack: If you use Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install oneko, then oneko

@Doorknob and a .gz?

@Rainbolt But Linus says it differently...

@QPaysTaxes Serious?

Nope, it LEE-nuhs inogolo.com/pronunciation/d1083/Linus_Torvalds

@HelkaHomba jriff doesn't sound right

@cat waaaahhh its a cat

@Optimizer Exactly. No confusion

@Maltysen try oneko -dog

it's so cuute

@HelkaHomba but you are making us pronounce it like that >_>

@Rainbolt What?

@QPaysTaxes :O

@QPaysTaxes oh that reaction was positive

What part of "Linus told you how to pronounce it" don't you understand

I like cats

I guess the same thing applies with GIF though

@quartata Er - I tried to say that nicely :P

@quartata I said I understand why people think that way. I didn't say I totally ignored the creator of Linux when he said how to pronounce it properly.

@trichoplax Who needs nice when you have benevolent dictators

@Rainbolt ok

@QPaysTaxes wuh

You guys all voted for GIFF over JIFF just because you like Gilbert Gottfried better than Jessica Jones, right? Gotta scrap the poll... I introduced a bias.

@cat omg its chasing my cursor

@Maltysen ye! i love it!

@Rainbolt Why would you have a poll between two things pronounced the same way?

@trichoplax Just so I understand your question, are you going with Jilbert Jottfried or Gessica Gones?

@QPaysTaxes That sounds... unfun

I am proud to announce I have never been pepper sprayed in my life

I hope to keep it that way

@Rainbolt Oops - I should have read the poll first... And now my eyes hurt from reading your last message...

strawpoll.me/7411817

anyone who knows the slightest bit of german knows how to say it

butter xD

byut-ner is objectively right, right?

@quartata ya

That's what I thought.

Ask @MartinBüttner, he'll tell you how to say it

@HelkaHomba All the best polls are 14% butter

@QPaysTaxes It's closer to Byoot-ner, and yes, it does

I say it the way the aussies say "ay she's a beaut" or something

I don't know

@quartata or, y'know, the word beautiful

@cat Or you could search the transcript rather than asking him yet again ;)

@cat But this way I got to incorporate Australian people into it

That way if I'm wrong I can blame @Quill

I only know "du hast" in German

@trichoplax I wasn't really asking him; I know how to say it :P I didn't know y'all'd been over this

Actually, I think it's not Australian people.

I think I meant Scottish or something

I really don't know anymore

@quartata Same planet, close enough

@quartata I have a feeling it's common in both places

Suppose I have an active PPCG user's name in my head. I want to find their profile on SE, but I don't have a directly clickable link on hand. What's the easiest way to find this person's profile?

Reposting for more responses: strawpoll.me/7379582

@cat go to codegolf.stackexchange.com/users and search for it

@quartata :o I didn't know there was a user-search

@HelkaHomba O_o people have been to Antartica and not South America...

@Downgoat No. I accidentally clicked yes to Antarctica. It should say 0

> Antartica

If they're really active, click on the link to main and click on their profile from the questions they appear in at the top of the page. Otherwise, click on "Users" from main and they'll be nearish the top if they're active. Oh - very ninjad

Did you get doxxed again? :P

@QPaysTaxes Uhh... this is for a challenge, right?

You could always just go for a copy of 4096 Names for your New Baby or something

Closed as off topic

Something like elliot154 is generic enough I presume.

You could try just using a word from /usr/share/dict/words too

zygomorphic653 lol

"Alternate" vowels and consonants, allowing no more than two consecutive vowels or consonants.

That'll get you a lot of plausible names.

@El'endiaStarman Now I'm back in "The Nine Billion Names of God"

You could go up to three consecutive vowels or consonants, but those are somewhat less likely to be plausible.

@trichoplax Haha. :P

Hoi Evreewon!

@trichoplax ...did you just edit this to reply forward? :P

@El'endiaStarman Yes - my reply suddenly made even more sense as a reply to your next message :)

Haha, nice. My only gripe is that now I can't get rid of the highlight on the previous reply.

@El'endiaStarman Frozen yellow? I've never seen that...

There's no longer a trigger to remove the highlight.

@trichoplax Frozen gray, actually.

@El'endiaStarman I switched it back - any help?

nice

Like, when you mouse over a message, it highlights the one it replied to if applicable and any replies if applicable. When you click on the triangle dropdown to the left, it never gets the memo that you moused off of the message.

@trichoplax It's still a reply-forward.

@El'endiaStarman Oops. Fixed

Ahhhhh...much better...

Mod editing powers FTW! :P

(You can change it back to a forward reply if you like. :P)

@El'endiaStarman I forget about those - so you could have fixed it without my help :P

@trichoplax .....I could have......

I rarely edit other peoples' messages though.

Incidentally, do users get notified when someone else edits their message? [Non-malicious test]

@El'endiaStarman I don't think so. Try it

Nope

Woah, the name highlight went away.

It was El'endia's name, so he would have seen it red

Hmm.

How about now?

Is your name still red?

you can get notifs for pinging yourself, TIL

Interesting.

@QPaysTaxes hi

hi @QPaysTaxes!

@cat Nope, like this

@QPaysTaxes All I edited was "me" -> "it".

It might have something to do with the apostrophe in my name. That's definitely caused bugs before.

@El'endiaStarman Try this one.

@El'endiaStarman I'm guessing you didn't get notified of this change earlier?

@El'endiaStarman Have you ever considered not having an apostrophe in your name?

@HelkaHomba Yep, name highlight went away again.

@trichoplax Nope, not at all.

@El'endiaStarman We'll all just have to trust each other then...

Halp @AlexA., non PPCG mods are abusing their edit privileges D: (:P)

@PhiNotPi NEVAR. For extra evilness, my username on my computer is "El'endia Starman". That's right, with a space too. :P

@HelkaHomba >:O

@trichoplax Chat mods are implicitly trusted with the power already... :P

@QPaysTaxes 8080 isn't used for HTTP.

WEE WOO WEE WOO fun police on the scene

BEEP BEEP BEEP EXCESSIVE FUN DETECTED

@AlexA. THEY WENT RUNNING THAT WAY [points opposite direction]

@QPaysTaxes ports below 1024 are for system use only, and you need root to bind there. 443 is for HTTPS

Everybody run while you still can!

@El'endiaStarman Okay I'll go get them! >:O

8080 is just used because it's like 80, but in user-bindable-land

@QPaysTaxes I know :P

@QPaysTaxes I think you meant HTTP !============== HTTPS

@Doorknob @AlexA. Can you Make Dennis say something like this?

HTTP ≈ HTTPS

@PhiNotPi Exact equality holds if S = 1

cat @ mint-kitty : ~ $ make Dennis say something like this
make: *** No rule to make target 'Dennis'.  Stop.

@HelkaHomba Why do you want us to Make Dennis do it?

@AlexA. Next time try cmake, instead of autoconf.

@AlexA. Prove he's not robot

@HelkaHomba I have no evidence for or against this hypothesis

@QPaysTaxes I used to use Linux Mint, so that was the name of my box; now I use Ubuntu and the name stuck

@HelkaHomba How would me saying BEEP BEEP BEEP prove I'm not a robot?

@cat Ubuncat

Helka

Pro tip: go to http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/ukdhs1/ServiceTag/######?s=BSD&~ck=mn‌​. Wait. Then, laugh at the URL in your address bar.

@Dennis I mean being goofy :)
