I may went overboard
I registered a custom domain for this challenge to make my answer the shortesg
0
A: Include a JavaScript script with JavaScript

Bálint70 bytes d=document;d.body.appendChild(d.createElement`script`).src=`//mafg.tk` Took me a while, before I found an open and short domain

 
@Bálint Good!
ಠ_ಠ
You just exploited a loophole that allows you to make domains to your advantage!
@Dennis help!
 
Finding a new loophole should be a rewardable offence
 
@zyabin101 How do I add numbers into your list?
 
@LeakyNun You shouldn't.
The list is already finished.
It is all the numbers from 0 to 255.
 
> This time, we'll collaborate on it
 
10:17 AM
@LeakyNun You'll help by adding golfs.
 
What list is already finished?
 
@zyabin101 URL shorteners are allowed there
 
oh, you misunderstood me
 
The number list in this gist.
 
How do I add golfed numbers to the list?
 
10:18 AM
@LeakyNun Write them on the even lines that are after the naive solution for the number that was golfed.
It must be shorter than the naive solution.
 
Yes, how to edit the file?
 
@LeakyNun @_@
Well, just say it in chat. I'll apply the edits later.
 
fork?
exactly
every time you want to collaborate with someone
you never open the edit rights
the same with your language
the same with this project
and I'm not the first guy to tell you this
 
ಠ_ಠ
I deleted the gist.
No gist, no project.
 
good
 
10:24 AM
@LeakyNun But I have edit access to his language
 
@MarsUltor Do you remember that incident? Well he only shares to you
I don't call it "open"
 
Good job!
 
I'm adding you, Leaky Nun, to my ignore list! ಠ_ಠ
Don't ping me again.
 
Not going to

A: Include a JavaScript script with JavaScript

ansiarta page? or this current page? latter: 44 bytes $({}).append('<script src=//goo.gl/rPQ0Jk>')

This answer exploits two loopholes:
One allows to use the current page.
Another assumes the page is using jQuery.
 
@zyabin101 I noticed that too

Q: Separate alphabets and numbers

SibiCoderMultiline text has numbers and alphabets mixed. Task is to separate numbers to leftside and alphabets to right side in same order. The one who does with minimum keystrokes is the winner. Example: A word can have any number of text like 433884, but all the numbers has to be moved left side but n...

 
Can we assume the page is using jQuery? One answer is assuming so, but I think this is a loophole. — zyabin101 24 secs ago
Waiting for answer. Horsey, crowdey and weaponey.
 
@zyabin101 I think if you specify it
 
@LeakyNun Well, hardly anyone gives edit access to their repo, especially without requesting
Most people tell others to use PR's
 
10:44 AM
@MarsUltor But making it secret?
 
@LeakyNun Well, he's sharing the link, isn't he?
secret just means google doesn't see it
 
@MarsUltor Well I guess I was too impulsive
but I guess he already added me to his ignore list
so I shouldn't care anyway

Q: convert ascii box drawing into utf-8

Alex ZefferttI am shamelessly posting a request for something I would actually find useful. The task is to take an arbitrary ascii box drawing like this | +----+----+ | state A +---+ +---------+ | | +----v----+ | state B | +---------+ ... and turn it into so...

 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ 0/10 you use a lowercase S in your name
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Wait, are the poll answers serious? How is Trump leading?
 
@zyabin101 well it's my fault anyway but if you decide to keep me on your ignore list then I won't bother you again.
 
10:59 AM
@Bálint you should have used HTTP 30x redirection in your domain, not cloak the page!
 
@NewMainPosts Surprisingly good for a first post. :o
 
:D I shortened zyabinVI's URL!
I also made two other short URLs.
I shortened these with v.ht.
All these start with v.ht/z6, except v.ht/zyabinVI, which is a stylish redirect to zyabinVI's main page.
v.ht/z6main - main page, v.ht/z6blog - c'est mon "blog".
Weekly "dare to answer?" question: None for today.
 
@VTCAKAVSMoACE the idea is nice, but it seems very underspecified to me
 
11:14 AM
Weekly "dare to answer?" question: None for today.
Seriously, I checked the PPCG newsletter in the email just now while waiting for the v.ht email.
 
@zyabin101 Yes, I'm working on that
 
And there was no section "Can you answer these".
And there is where I get my questions and answers from!
No v.ht email XP
So I'm apparently using the wrong shortener.
 
11:34 AM
Wow, first time I've ever seen drama in this chatroom! Oo
(don't wanna keep the bridges burning, just really surprised)
 
Alright, new links that I can finally control: bit.ly/zyabinVI is stylish redirect to zyabinVI's main page, bit.ly/zVImain is canonical redirect to main page, bit.ly/zVIblog - blog.
 
@zyabin101 control?
 
@zyabin101 What is zyabinVI?
 
@MarsUltor I can see stats.
 
> zyabinVI is an experimenting orginization.
 
11:38 AM
@PhiNotPi You guessed it.
 
@PhiNotPi The organization performs experiments
 
You it is nailed to the bing.
I'd take bit.ly/z6* but someone took bit.ly/z6main.
I bet bit.ly/zyabinVI will do better than bit.ly/z6main.
 
@zyabin101 Is the asterisk treated as a special character?
 
@PhiNotPi It's a wildcard.
bit.ly/zVI* is any bitlink with prefix zVI.
Also, continuing on the zyabinVI topic: I'm planning to try various workflows next.
Next project to represent this will be a "goodbye gem" in Ruby.
I need a pretty unique name for it.
>>> require "name_of_gem_here"
true
>>> NameOfGemHere.say_goodbye()
Goodbye, World!
>>> NameOfGemHere.say_goodbye_in("es")
Adios, Mundo!
>>> NameOfGemHere.say_goodbye_to("Andrew")
Goodbye, Andrew!
>>> NameOfGemHere.say_goodbye_to("Andrew", in: "es")
Adios, Andrew!
It will be something like ^
I need to replace the name of gem heres with a pretty unique name.
Help choose it!
In exchange for help in naming the new gem, I'll make you closer to being a full-right member of zyabinVI =)
...
:(
 
11:59 AM
This chat room isn't feeling particularly inspired right now.
 
But can someone help, please?
 
So, it can say goodbye in differenr languages to different people?
 
@Bálint Yup.
Someone from Hungary clicked the link from chat.stackexchange.com! :D
I wonder who it may be...

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a working group of authorities that was formed by ISO and IEC to set standards for audio and video compression and transmission. It was established in 1988 by the initiative of Hiroshi Yasuda (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) and Leonardo Chiariglione, group Chair since its inception. The first MPEG meeting was in May 1988 in Ottawa, Canada. As of late 2005, MPEG has grown to include approximately 350 members per meeting from various industries, universities, and research institutions. MPEG's official designation is ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 – Coding of...

i haven't actually setup ~rys yet
too lazy~

Not sure what those eyes are ~__~
 
12:32 PM
@RenderSettings ~rys?
 
@MarsUltor His new galaxy.
I'm searching in chat for what he got it.
 
????
 
@MarsUltor Uhh...
I will tell you the full story in a link, if you'll have no questions left facepalm
 
@wizzwizz4 If you're going to reply hours later, a bit of context is usually helpful.
 
12:54 PM
I suspect it wasn't a reply...
 
Possibly, but without context it's impossible to know :P
 
That's the beauty of it.
Just realised I could have called my challenge "A bit mean" and avoided the name conflict with you
 
That wouldn't be any fun at all though.
 
It would certainly be considerably less fun
I haven't worked out whether the downvote is due to the name or something about the challenge (or just a random background one)
 
Hmm. Well it's not mine.
 
1:01 PM
I assumed you would have felt compelled to share the joke if it was :P
 
Nah, most of my downvotes are under the radar >_>
 
Oh I get that - but this one would be funny
 
I'd be much more likely to take credit for it to be funny, but I've already ruined that :(
 
\o/ Playing Pocket Trains. :3
 
Team lead assigned me to new task work, and other guys to bugs. Is that a good sign or am I reading to much into it?
 
1:04 PM
You've been switched from bug fixer to bug creator?
 
Sounds relatively good to me. Certainly not bad at least.
 
Presumably that indicates a fair amount of trust
 
Just finished my first work from plugging wagons to getting my train rid of wagons, all by myself. \o/
Hm, they should send me a notification soon.
The trains are returning to Milan now, and I'm sure that they still do in background.
Yes, the train on the green track should be in Milan byamin.
(byamin = by a minute from now)
@trichoplax "Programming Puzzles and Code Golf Highlights: Can you answer these? A bit mean challenge"
It's cool how it would sound by the time it gets to newsletters of the world.

1:10 PM
choo choo!

@PhiNotPi Yes, without wagons.
Hmm... I should have checked them more carefully.
(the trains)
Daaaaarn! I switched notifications on, and they failed to notify me that both trains are there!
Now the blue track train is fully charged.
What do you think, when the green track train will be fully charged?
(I need an exact time.)
I bet 13:30 UTC.
16:30 UTC+3.
In the meantime, we'll choose a name for the "goodbye gem" that I shown in the Nineteenth Byte a few hours ago.
"goodbye_gem"? Nope, very generic.
 
@zyabin101 I was sitting in my chair reading your messages, and I really thought you're working with real life trains.
 
@Bálint I'm playing Pocket Trains >_>
 
@zyabin101 I eventually got that
 
I'm not working with real life trains.
 
1:19 PM
are you sure
 
@zyabin101 Maybe "SayGoodbyeInDifferentLanguagesAndToSpecificPeople"?
 
@Bálint Too long of a name.
 
@zyabin101 I don't understand what you mean
 
@Bálint Gem names have to be short.
 
What's a gem BTW?
 
1:21 PM
like a module
 
@Bálint Ruby gem >_>
 
but for perl
*ruby
 
Ohh, like a plugin
Then maybe GemBye?
 
@Bálint Heh. I chose your name.
Then, are you on GitHub?
 
GemBye?
 
1:22 PM
GemBuy -- illicit auction site for stolen jewelery
6
 
Me? I think, but I need a new account anyways
 
@Bálint Yeah, @TimmyD make a cool joke that looks like this name.
Sorry @Bálint, I discard this choice.
6 before I lose :'(
Also, remember - only letters, numbers, and cabs--- oh, I mean, underscores.
 
Yeah, there's a site called gembuy, wich essentially sells clash of clans gems
 
Hah, so I was partly right.
 
@Bálint Don't trust this site - this may be a scam.
199/230 F, 3 minutes left...
 
1:26 PM
@zyabin101 I know
 
@zyabin101 how do people use non-one syllable names for all the weird characters, smh. "ampersand"? "exclamation point"?
 
@RenderSettings hepdot-cabpel--- -._(._.)_.-
 
@zyabin101 ah yes, the hep dot cab pel dot cab dot per cab dot hep emote
2
 
@RenderSettings Heh.
@RenderSettings But OTOH, some people use special words for some characters. For example, "bang" for !.
 
mm, but it's nonstandard! crunch vs. hash, for example. along with not having names for the majority of them.
 
1:30 PM
Those seem to be more in the programming realm than general usage.
 
shebang, crunchbang, hashbang
 
I guarantee you say "shebang" to someone of the general populace and they're more likely to think of a Ricky Martin song than #!
 
D: A minute ago, I lost my bet on charging trains!
230/230 :D
 
Today's xkcd made me laugh out loud.
My optimizer uses content-aware inpainting to fill in all the wasted whitespace in the code, repeating the process until it compiles.
2
 
@TimmyD Yeah, people don't actually use "she" to mean pound in any context except for #!. Actually, do people even say "pound" anymore?
 
1:32 PM
Okay, trains, shift up
 
@RenderSettings I think "hash" is overtaking
 
/me shakes fist at the heavens, yelling "Twitter!"
 
@El'endiaStarman Yeah I saw that and temporarily thought "Hmm this could be a challenge..." before realising I have stuff I should be doing
 
I've never even heard it called crunch once.
 
CrunchBang Linux (abbreviated #!) was a Linux distribution derived from Debian by Philip Newborough (who is more commonly known by his username, corenominal). CrunchBang was designed to use comparatively few system resources. Instead of a desktop environment it used a customized implementation of the Openbox window manager. Many of its preinstalled applications used the GTK+ widget toolkit. CrunchBang had its own software repository but drew the vast majority of packages from Debian's repositories. Philip Newborough announced on 6 February 2015 that he had stopped developing CrunchBang and that...
 
1:35 PM
Ok, so make it once now :P
 
Ah, "octothorpe"! That's the actual name for it, forgot.
 
Sounds like one of those medieval helicopter doodads.
 
I've always liked octothorpe, but it's a bit unwieldly.
 
@RenderSettings Well, 'pound' is used sometimes for phones
@Meanbits Like "ampersand"?
 
Shift down
 
1:36 PM
@MarsUltor Yes, but for that you can always just say and.
 
@Meanbits Yeah
 
Nobody says Barnes Ampersand Nobles.
 
Why do symbols have such long formal names though?
 
Programming Puzzles Ampersand Code Golf
 
Probably just to distinguish the symbol itself from what it's representing.
 
1:38 PM
 
I guess as a language evolves words get golfed in proportion to their usage
 
Also probably to sound more "formal". Imagine if # was called "booglybar".
 
On the other hand, at has no long form
 
@RenderSettings Programming Puzzles Pam Code Golf :D
 
> The fact that there is no single word in English for the symbol has prompted some writers to use the French arobase[2] or Spanish and Portuguese arroba, or to coin new words such as asperand,[3] ampersat[4] and strudel[5]), but none of these have achieved wide usage.
haha aspersand
 
1:39 PM
>strudel
 
@Sp3000 Henceforth this shall be its official title within TNB

@MarsUltor I always liked all the variations on "monkey tail" that other languages use
 
@quartata: Overwatch does look fun. Almost like it's the next Halo. (At least, it could be for me.) youtube.com/watch?v=WG53pICIGIo
 
@RenderSettings To me it looks more like a Danish
@RenderSettings P.S. You just need a space after the > to make it work as a quote
 
1:43 PM
b-but muh greentext
 
I think we should always type C♯ instead of C# from now on.
3
 
@PhiNotPi Nah, just change the name to C Octothorpe
That'll guarantee it gets the level of respect it deserves :P
 
Nah, just use D♭
 
@Sp3000 This music is in the key of Microsoft SQL
 
1:45 PM
@RenderSettings You have green text?
 
@El'endiaStarman Reminds me of this challenge - I wonder if any of them would produce believable at-a-glance code...
 
@El'endiaStarman No, infinity war is the next halo thats why everyone hates it
 
@RenderSettings You have greentext?
 
@BaldBantha Err, that doesn't make sense. Halo is basically the sole reason I would buy an Xbox if I had the money to spare.
 
@PhiNotPi is that the sl utlility
 
1:53 PM
@BaldBantha It is maybe Pocket Trains that inspired him to draw an ASCII train! :D
 
yeah but COD isn't supposed to be halo then they go make infinity war which is a space game, and eveyone hates it because
'COD isn't supposed to be Halo' and stuff
 
@BaldBantha No clue what that is, I just took it from here: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/34773/ascii-train-golf
 
@zyabin101 I love pocket trains!!!
 
@BaldBantha Oh, Infinity War is the seventh CoD game or something?
 
@BaldBantha You played it?
 
1:53 PM
@El'endiaStarman its the one with the dislikes on youtube
@zyabin101 yeah its a fun game.
 
I don't watch pop culture YouTube...
 
@BaldBantha :D
 
@El'endiaStarman not to be confused with this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_War and the upcoming movies.
 
If you want to give or take, my gift code is 14 B7 WX.
And yours?
 
1:55 PM
@MarsUltor SAME THING
 
dong dong dong
 
@BaldBantha Infinity War is Avengers 3/a comic storyline
 
@MarsUltor I know
 
@BaldBantha D:D
There is an emote from both---
dong dong dong
@BaldBantha I have Mallard and Dekotora parts, but I can't afford giving them to you.
 
1:59 PM
@zyabin101 ehh I stopped playing a little while ago but I think I'lll get back into it... idk why I stoped playing. Do ou play pocket planes or tiny tower?
 
@BaldBantha Neither.
Currently only Pocket Trains.
