@mınxomaτ a textbook works good too

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

what should I blog about :/

El'endia Starman

@Cyoce Aside from what quartata said, weren't you complaining just yesterday about having to define __le__?

Quill

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you should write a blog about the benefits of doing code golf challenges to improve your programming repertoire

or some new feature in some language that you like

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

meh

that's a good idea, thought it's just ES6

Quill

or you could do one on cats that only say no

No No No Cat

What should I name my blog post on symbols?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Symbolically

Quill

@Downgoat Symbols in ES6, or something similar. If you want people to be able to find your blog from a search engine, use decent terms

or use keywords

Helka Homba

Is there a python module for finding the urls in a string? (I know I can use super long regexes but I'd rather not.) stackoverflow.com/q/520031/3823976 is rather old and unpromising

Downgoat

11:30 PM

@Quill ok, I made the title a pun

Quill

@HelkaHomba will the string only contain a url?

@Downgoat :/

it better be funny

Helka Homba

@Quill No. It could contain normal text as well, e.g. a chat message. You could assume the urls start with http or https though

Ashwin Gupta

Are we the most active chatroom on SE?

I wonder.

Quill

@AshwinGupta no

IIRC The Bridge is the most active

Ashwin Gupta

oh ok

lol

Helka Homba

11:32 PM

chat.stackexchange.com/… <- recently active rooms, we are usually up there but not at the very top

cat

strawpoll.me/10241355

El'endia Starman

@AshwinGupta Top ten, I'd say. Maybe top five.

Alex A.

@Quill #me_irl

Helka Homba

@cat idk about offensive but it's annoying to try to pronounce

Ashwin Gupta

thats still pretty good.

El'endia Starman

11:34 PM

@cat I voted "No." and want to add "Please name it that!" :P

Quill

@AlexA. I watch that video like once a month to cleanse my soul

cat

@HelkaHomba Just say it like LISP, but with a lisp.

@El'endiaStarman okay :D

Cyoce

@cat should probably be called ((()lisp())(.)js)

cat

"yes" is catching up

Quill

daringfireball.net/2010/07/improved_regex_for_matching_urls

cat

11:36 PM

@Cyoce doesn't even compile tho

() is the application of nothing to nothing

I was thinking of stylising it as (lithp.js)

@Quill :(

Q: What's the chance that I'll win a door prize?

My local ACM chapter gives out door prizes to people who come to the meetings. You get an increased chance of winning if you solve the programming puzzle, however (but I always solve that puzzle). Thus, some people have 1 entry, while others have 2. But wait! The way the raffle program works is n...

Cyoce

@cat you probably didn't count your parentheses right.

Quill

I'm no longer familiar with the tags on this site; if you think of a more appropriate tag, please edit away! — Justin 3 mins ago

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Doorknob I talked to multiple people, and they said it was fine.

Helka Homba

@Quill :)

cat

11:39 PM

@Cyoce You don't have to if you use a LISP-aware text-editor. Plus, the counting comes naturally after a little while

R. Kap

Python 3:

len("ಠ_ಠ")==3

Python 2:

>>len("ಠ_ಠ")

cat

@R.Kap Counts chars not bytes.

R. Kap

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AlexA. Yeah. So numeric is basically any number?

Helka Homba

@R.Kap :3

R. Kap

11:42 PM

ಠ_ಠ

cat

>>> list("ಠ_ಠ")
['ಠ', '_', 'ಠ']

strings are just lists of single-length strings

Helka Homba

Say, what emotion is ":3" exactly?

It's "cat"

cat/feline

11:43 PM

...

Justin

@HelkaHomba I've only seen it as "pleased"

cat/feline/hug/g

hug?

This whole time...I thought it was a kiss...

cat

11:44 PM

cats like hugs, but... ?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

lol

I used to think that.

@cat >_> no we don't.

@cat please don't stereotype your fellow cats.

Helka Homba

I'm feelin :3like

cat

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ <_< this one does

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@HelkaHomba :3 you count.

cat

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ some cat you are D:

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

11:44 PM

scratches @cat

it's a catfight!

How about ":4" then?

hmm

Is :< a bird?

@HelkaHomba I generally think of it as pleased, but in a different way from :). I'm not sure how to put it.

cat

11:47 PM

No, it's a very pouty face

Rhythmbox isn't good for anything but Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Helka Homba

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ U:< is an angry bird

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

we should ask alex

Helka Homba

Go ask Alex...what the dormouse said

Quill

@cat the word you're looking for is char

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AlexA. what emoticon would you say represents a bird? Like :<, :>, what?

Justin

11:50 PM

El'endia Starman

@HelkaHomba Dragon == doormouse?!

Justin

Isn't that how we all drew birds as little kids?

cat

@Quill Python doesn't have char

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@HelkaHomba ಠ_ಠ

Helka Homba

> 1. partially burn (an object) so as to blacken its surface. 2. material that has been charred. Mhmm...

Quill

11:50 PM

BURNE

cat

Would you like some charred Python?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

yes

cat

@Quill Did you mean: CHARRED?

Quill

@cat internally they probably compile to chars anyway

cat

11:53 PM

@Quill Nope.

Cyoce

ಠ_ಠ brackets

Quill

@cat my hovercraft is full of eels

Helka Homba

@El'endiaStarman Actually I misquoted the song :|

kinda

cat

@Cyoce use atom instead D:

Downgoat

@cat pft, vim is obviously the best

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

11:54 PM

thebobclub.com/allbobs.html

@cat NOOO ATOM IS HORROR

cat

@Downgoat as soon as I figure out how to select text in it

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Downgoat yes pls

Downgoat

@cat use nvim

Quill

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ -1 atoms make up the core of our being, how can you hate them

cat

@Downgoat Is it in a terminal? How do I select text with my keyboard in a terminal? I can't. GUI wins, once.

Cyoce

11:56 PM

@cat nope. I tried atom, didn't like it.

cat

@Cyoce k

Quill

@cat you can in Vim

Cyoce

It has all these autocomplete suggestions that are really annoying, first of all

and they only have to contain the letters

Downgoat

^ how 2 select in vim @cat

Cyoce

like it will suggest "elif" if you type "ef"

cat

11:57 PM

@Cyoce that's a feature of the language-python package. Disable it if you don't like it... ?

they're snippets

Cyoce

@cat too complicated. and it does it for everything

besides brackets has really nice and easy-to-install extensions and stuff

Justin

What's the difference between nvim and regular vim?

cat

@Cyoce I love it, because there's the same sorta thing for all languages. to each their own

@Justin it's neo

Downgoat

@Justin nvim has a bunch of cool features

Justin

If nvim has a bunch of cool features, that might be enough to convince me to use it instead of Sublime Text
