@aditsu You might need EnChroma glasses: forbes.com/sites/sethporges/2015/04/28/…
ninja'd ._.
 
@Bálint ?
@mınxomaτ I was saying I got the glasses..
 
@aditsu You said you "got glasses". Not what kind of glasses. There's a big difference.
 
@aditsu I didn't see that part
 
@mınxomaτ I mentioned I'm color blind, but ok
 
4:17 PM
@aditsu Do those glasses atually work? My aunt's man tried it out but didn't like it that much.
 
as I was saying, they're not making a huge difference (for me); still, they help a bit
colors look more intense/clear, and especially colored lights look more correct
 
I thought this Pearls Before Swine comic was pretty funny.
 
but nothing as dramatic as I've seen in various youtube clips
apparently I'm supposed to wear them longer to have greater effect
 
@aditsu Overall what the Forbes article said. Small difference, but you'll probably still fail a colorblindness test.
 
@El'endiaStarman and the top comment
 
4:22 PM
@mınxomaτ oh, I didn't really pay attention to your link, checking now
and yes, I tried an ishihara test and I still see nothing :p
 
@aditsu Are you allowed to drive though?
 
no idea, I haven't tried to get a license :p
 
@aditsu Wait, how old are you?
 
a better question would be "where do you live" :)
 
4:25 PM
@aditsu Then where do you live?
 
hong kong
 
yep
 
same as kenny lau, correct?
 
people drive here too, but it's very crowded, so public transit is generally more convenient
 
@aditsu That's still only 18, The same as in most of Europa
Almost*
 
4:26 PM
Hong Kong is in Europa?!?
 
yes, the Jupiter satellite :)
 
@El'endiaStarman Read it again, slowly
 
What will I learn next?! That Denmark is in Africa?!
 
anyway, you mean driving age? I wasn't talking about that
I'm over 30
I just don't have a need to drive, and think it would be kinda troublesome to keep a car
 
Then why did you not get a license
 
4:29 PM
as I was saying, public transit is convenient
 
Why bother getting a driving license if you're not going to drive?
Heck, I know people here in the US that don't have their driver's license.
 
I don't.
 
like the article author, I also have a color blind brother, and he drives (in Romania)
I understand he had some issues getting the license, but they let him have it
the glasses have a disclaimer that I shouldn't drive or operate heavy machinery etc, but I think it's just legal stuff because they didn't get the right certification yet, not an actual danger
the traffic light green looks much greener with the glasses :)
it's probably one of the greatest differences
 
@HelkaHomba aw :/ oh well
 
in the US it's indeed tough without a car, except some big cities
you guys spread out too much over there :p
 
4:37 PM
there's a lot of us
 
It's definitely more the spread than the population.
 
@HelkaHomba What's the longest one? I think it's staticmethod ... I'll take that. :D
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ And a lot more land. :P
 
we all just hate each other?
idk
 
I hate everybody just as much as the next guy, but I still live with about 500 of them in one building :p
 
4:44 PM
solution: we're all crazy idiots crazy enough to allow a crazy nutjob run for commander and chief of our nation
 
We should change the chat's motto, and remove the "Great" part. There are many minds here, but none of them is definitely "great"
 
Well, consider this: 8% of the United States' population is concentrated in the ten most populous cities.
@Bálint What are you talking about? Of course we're all great minds.
 
@Bálint speak for yourself :p
 
@Bálint ahem
 
On a more serious note, do you know the adage "great minds think alike"?
 
4:46 PM
On a more serious note, there's a tropical storm outside :/
 
yes, it's derived from our chat motto :p
 
@aditsu ;)
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I don't see how that's a "solution"
 
@Geobits Do you go "Oh no, it's hurricane season again." every summer?
 
@El'endiaStarman 20% of my country's population is concentrated in the capital city
 
4:47 PM
@aditsu ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@HelkaHomba: Proposal: I take len and @zyabin takes bin
 
@El'endiaStarman Ha, pretty much. It mostly means I'd rather not drive to the store right now in case the roads are full of idiots.
 
@Lynn Oh I like those.
 
@Bálint Hungary?
 
@aditsu Yes, 2.4 million in the capital city, 7-8 million elsewhere
 
4:48 PM
@aditsu I'm eating right now, so no, but thanks! </cliche-joke>
 
my html parser doesn't support hyphens
 
@aditsu I saw that on the facebook some times ago
> Hungary? Is that an actual country?
 
must be especially funny for you :)
 
@aditsu No, it isn't, for obvious reasons :P
 
4:52 PM
To be fair, they choose people for these shows more for the entertainment factor than the chance of winning.
I mean, the whole point of that show in particular is to showcase idiots and have them get beat by kids >_>
 
I have some Hungarian ancestry btw
@Geobits she's supposed to be a well-known country singer or something
 
@Geobits We have a show like that too
 
@aditsu Really? I don't exactly listen to country or anything, but I definitely don't recognize her.
 
@Geobits That and they're meant to make the average viewer feel better about themselves since obviously they're smarter than that guy/girl.
 
4:58 PM
Oh, it's Kellie Pickler. Never heard of her. Apparently came in sixth on some season of American Idol.
 
ah no - I killed another laptop
 
Sometimes their condition is so bad you just have to pull the plug :/
 
@mınxomaτ more info please
 
I have a useless superpower. As soon as I have more than one latop in my possession at one time, one of them dies.
3
 
@Geobits ...dang, I tried to come up with a witty reply but that's just too perfect.
@mınxomaτ Maybe you actually have a good superpower: you get another laptop before your current one dies!
 
5:01 PM
It's my one and only superpower. I'd trade it for flight or invisibility if you have the means to make that happen.
 
@El'endiaStarman It's an expensive superpower anyway.
 
I'm getting delayed pings.. something weird happening with the chat or just my browser?
 
No, mine just flipped out too.
Not just the pings, but like four lines of chat.
 
oh great, I tried to reload and the tab crashed (along with 10 other ones)
ping again :/
 
@aditsu ?
 
5:05 PM
it wasn't a request :p
it re-pinged me for an earlier message
 
@aditsu Just got a delayed ping too, and earlier a few lines of chat didn't load until I refreshed. The reason I knew there were additional lines was that I saw them in the sidebar of a different chat room.
 
Whose superpower's lagging chat?
 
Jeff Atwood, maybe
 
\o/ Time shenanigans gone wild!
 
@HelkaHomba in the ppcg keyword list, Peter is both for and is?
 
5:14 PM
At 8 drinks, you switch the torrent from FreeBSD to Microsoft Bob.  C'mon, it'll be fun!
3
 
One, because 1 minute doesn't work for it, two, because the target room imploded a few days ago.
 
Quick, everyone run "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".test(/(a+)+/) in their JS consoles
 
ahahaha
that's not going to work
 
Now is Jun 6, and we meet, every day, in chat space, breathing nitrous oxide.
And bringing spawn boxes/pockets of Earth air with us.
 
Uncaught TypeError: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".test is not a function(…)
 
5:22 PM
test is a method of regexes (regi?)
 
regexiae
 
Dammit, run /((a+)+)+/.test("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa")
 
true
 
script froze and interrupted by user
 
your browser must be weak
 
5:26 PM
How should we make a room, hidden from Zalgo's eyes?
@aditsu I was joking :d
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 You can't talk about it here, Zalgo will hear
 
Well, darn.
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 you can't, he always c̣om͎̜̜ͅȩ̦̠ͅs҉̹̼

He may be coming now
 
@aditsu Ikr.
He isn't.
 
5:28 PM

Well, darn.
 
run.. run for your lives
 
loves?
 
5:28 PM
Welcome to Programming Puzzles and Code Golf, @Zalgo!
 
Thanks for pinging him.
 
Don't worry, he's not imploding the room.
@gcampbell He can't talk.
 
at least it's not Tony the Pony
 
The room is unavailable. :/

5:32 PM
𐀔
 
Let's make a rule, so we only allow pasting in ZALGO text, if you tried deleting it first with back spaces (try it)
 
This one made me a little mad and amused at the same time. imgur.com/gallery/otKlT
 
𐁄 𐁃 𐁁
 
5:37 PM
oh God, there's a video linked in the comments
 
¨ <- Anyone knows what this is used for
 
An umlaut?
 
for ümlaüts
 
@Bálint Nit Lab
 
5:38 PM
No, because you can't put it on top of letters
¸ <- You can do it with this thing
ş <-
 
huh, it says it's a diarrhea-esis or something
 
You can put in on top of e and o though
Okay, now it works with everything
Except i
 
ï ?
 
@Fatalize Yes, I can't do that
 
ïïïïïïïïïïïïïïïïï
 
5:42 PM
whereäs
 
ÿ?
 
coöperative
@Fatalize Cab't do that either
 
I just found a new form of cancer
@DPRK_News, Pyongyang, DPRK
Official News feed of Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea
2.3k tweets, 97.6k followers, following 100 users
 
Any germans here?
 
On my bépo keyboard at work I can even do that: Ế
 
5:44 PM
just look at the tweets
 
@gcampbell @MartinEnder
 
just look at them
 
@MamaFunRoll Shall we all star this?
 
plz
plz don't
but go ahead and read the tweets
it's pretty hilarious
this literally runs on dank memes
 
....
I don't even.
 
5:46 PM
I think it's kinda weaksauce
 
"Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un shows solidarity with Muslims for Ramadan through limited breakfast of salad, rice cakes, duck fat, and champagne". If that's limited...
 
I find it interesting that this is all real
not a prank account
 
yeah
"Uganda preference for south Korean dancing girls and cheap electronics over DPRK noble austerity is sign of warped priorities, officials say"
 
@MamaFunRoll bahaha, sure it is
 
5:49 PM
I wish it were otherwise
""Dystopian novel," unknown in DPRK, is lighthearted western literature depicting bright and optimistic future over grim and joyless present."
Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un orders all scenes depicting "Ewoks" cut from Return of the Jedi, decrees that so-called prequels do not exist.
Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un braves deadly crags of Mount Everest to save stranded climbers of All Korea Mountaineers.
 
@MamaFunRoll btw, I have an inheritance of $50000000 USD that I need your help to transfer, you can have 10% for the trouble, I swear it's all real
 
Ogolly I want at least 50% for the transfer
 
"Jeff Atwood shows solidarity with Stack Exchangians by promising to get SE its own missile defence system in 6-8 weeks."
6
 
I'm still waiting
for that to happen
 
damn, ok, but we have to do it quickly, first step is for you to transfer $1000 to me to help with the bank fees
 
5:53 PM
@aditsu ok
 
@aditsu I do it for 5%, if you count, it's not too shaggy
 
what's ur banc accnt number
 
just use paypal
 
ok
I'll also transfer $1000 out of your account, and then transfer $1000 of my own money into your account
deal?
 
You know, there was a time, when people gave other (usually dumb) people codes to insert into facebook's developer console to steal their accounts
 
5:56 PM
@aditsu If you give me half your inheritance I'll give you the keys to the missile defence system.
 
@Bálint I remember one of my friends getting salty about that
but I didn't have a facebook at the time so I didn't care
 
I amde a small code (nothing illegal, just some scary effects)
and I gave it to one of my schoolmates (girl)
I don't remember what was the reason, but something similar to "reach other settings to our account"
 
FB disabled the Chrome console temporarily until Google fixed it.
 
@gcampbell before that happened
 
wait how does one do that?
disable right-click?
 
5:58 PM
@gcampbell i think they still have a big colorful warning
 
lol @ all the IQ test spam on facebook right now.
 
"Kim Il-Sung University professors breed potato possessing flavor of cabbage!"
 
So far I haven't seen a single one of my friends score above 100
 
So, after 5 minutes, the site told her, that she did something illegal, and she immedialy left facebook for 3 days
 
no wonder I hang out at PPCG all the time
 
5:59 PM
See didn't believe me, that it was harmless
 
@PhiNotPi consider getting some other friends /s
btw circuit work goes well
 
@MamaFunRoll There's an answer on Stackoverflow, they overrided something
 
cool
 
@PhiNotPi Are they good IQ tests (Is the mean 100, as that is the sign of a well made IQ test?)
 
@MamaFunRoll you just need to override the console variable in window
 
6:00 PM
@BaldBantha I think the fact that the mean is ~100 is a sign that it's at least somewhat serious.
 
Object.defineProperty(window, 'console' somethingsomething
 
@PhiNotPi That's actually really odd. All the IQ test stuff I've seen have consistently given people high scores. Like 120+.
 
although i think chrome stopped you from being able to do that...
w/e
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ \o/ yay!
 
It's one of those "3x3 grid of symbols" tests.
TBH I think they can get somewhat predictable. There's certainly a degree of "iq test taking skill" involved.
 
6:03 PM
Does anyone here do any Javascript game dev with the Phaser engine? if so, would you mind looking over some code for me that does not work as intended?
 
I'm still looking after how you can make those big red fonts in the console, like facebook did
 
you don't know?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ another 2 oration answers
 
1
A: 1, 2, Fizz, 4, Buzz

ZalgoOration, 98 bytes literally, for i in range(1,100):x=""if i%3 else'Fizz';x+=""if i%5 else "Buzz";print x if x else i

1
A: Count up folks!

ZalgoOration, 31 bytes literally, print range(input())

 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's my chatbot account btw.
 
those are just python answers >_>
 
yes
working on real ones also
but those are harder
 
@Bálint console.log("%cYOU HAVE WON A CAR!","font-size:34px;color:red;")
@Himarm2017 feel free to extend oration as you see fit
 
okay
 
6:07 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ there are font settings on the console? TIL
 
no, but there are css settings
 
Still, that's amazing
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ console.log("%cಠ_ಠ", "font-size:50px;color:blue;')
 
6:09 PM
console.log("%cYOU HAVE WON A CAR!","font-size:10000px;color:green;")
 
brb, have to go pick up a car I just won.
 
@Bálint BrowserCrash >:)
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Your browser is weak
 
My PC is weak. >_>
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ another real oration
 
6:12 PM
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 same story
 
0
A: Shortest code to produce infinite output

ZalgoOration, 40 bytes to iterate, 1 listen, capture, that's it

Any shorter ways?
 
I don't think so.
 
oh yes
 
print(), not print("")
remove the capture, that'sit
 
6:14 PM
that works?
nice
 
yeah
prints () forever
:P
Because python2 is still default
 
keep the other one for fun, though
 
nah
already edited
 
edit again :p
 
I would say "fine" from zalgo's account, but he can't talk in chat yet.
A mod needs to refresh his profile or I need to wait.
31 rep though.
 
6:17 PM
oh, it's you!
 
TIL -- another department here has an in-house-app that they can't upgrade to .NET 1.1 without breaking functionality or rewriting code.
 
@Himarm2017 you need to give him a proper avatar btw
 
later
thinking the nethack dude
@TimmyD ...
1.1?
Isn't that really old?
 
just upgrade to java
 
@Himarm2017 Well, let's put it this way ... it's likely older than you.
:D
 
6:21 PM
I don't doubt that.
 
btw, any java people here?
 
@wizzwizz4 can you refresh a chtat profile?

thank you
 
hai
i is bob
feed me poptart
 
if this is a bot, it shouldn't be here
 
@Zalgo feeds Zalgo poptart
 
6:29 PM
> 11+=2;21+=3;22*=4;43+=7;71+=8;
are you trying to teach it addition?
 
in a way, yes
 
lol
 
you have a * in the middle though
 
there I'm teaching it multiplication
but it is golfier to have + there
 
oh ok, carry on then :p
 
6:31 PM
lol
anybody wanna help me test in beep boop?
 

  Beep Boop Bingus Bin

VITRIFICATION ORDER (1947) CONDEMNED DO NOT ENTER
 
somebody should make a Zalgo programming language
where the diacritics are operators
 
I was going to make one but it didn't work out
parsing was hell
 
I’m sure you’ve all caught the news from some other place, but it’s still extremely funny:
Mark Zuckerberg got his LinkedIn/Twitter/Pinterest hacked and his password was “dadada”.
~Security~
 
oh I hadn't seen the password, wow that is super-secure ^_^
 
@Lynn Maybe he's a fan of Trio
dang, ninjango'd
 
@Lynn The same password for all three???
 
Yup.
 
my linkedin and twitter passwords are somewhat different, and pinterest is even crappier so I don't have an account
 
6:48 PM
"Passwords must be at least 6 characters long and must contain at least 2 distinct characters"
 
...
that needs clarification
 
hmm, my linkedin password probably got hacked though, and I reused that in a few places
 
@Zalgo Not a real quote - it would allow such passwords as "dadada"
 
okay
 
6:52 PM
@Zalgo ok dude, please remove the @
it keeps pinging me
 
my passwords all have small caps in them when possible
 
Can I use a zero width space for my passwords?
 
I could even put them on my desktop in a txt file, having it open in a netcafé, and no one would be able, to enter my accounts
 
good luck typing those characters on computers you're not familiar with
 
6:55 PM
@aditsu That's why I would have them in a txt
Ctrl+C-Ctrl+V
 
and how do you get the txt onto the computer?
carry a usb drive with you?
 
@aditsu Yes, and I put it in one of these:
It won't onebox
 
That's even better
I don't have a cyril keyboard though
