@AlexA. All Five Airplanes Inadvertently Crashed Together

ArtOfCode

@Geobits until I fix the bug, yeah

Alex A.

oh god

mbomb007

@Lembik Answer it yourself if you can.

Alex A.

Always with the plane crashes

Geobits

@flawr That's very flawr of you. +1

@flawr Jeez.

Lembik

@mbomb007 well there is an answer in the question (and first comment). It just isn't any good :)

Anonymous

Oh man Geobits and Alex are here. Troll overload. Trollverload.

flawr

@Geobits thank you <3

Geobits

@Mego Well, it's better now that Your Mom has left.

Lembik

@mbomb007 if no one answers by the end of the challenge I will either ask SO or double the bounty.. which do you think is best?

9:01 PM

@AlexA. It is my profound duty and honour.

Nathan Merrill

Apparate For An Important Cause Today!

Lembik

@mbomb007 the question is in much better shape than it was when the bounty started :)

mbomb007

@Lembik idk. the rep gets lost if nobody answers.

Alex A.

Ah Fuck, Another Inappropriate Chat Transcript

Geobits

@flawr I was in the air force for ten years and I've seen more plane crashes in here than during that whole time.

Lembik

9:03 PM

@mbomb007 oh you keep the rep if you answer yourself??

Nathan Merrill

@Lembik its impossible to recover rep

Lembik

@NathanMerrill I thought as much

Alex A.

@Geobits Presumably the Air Force is the place where you'd see the fewest plane crashes, assuming they're teaching their pilots well

flawr

@Geobits Really? What country? And what function did you have in there?

Geobits

@AlexA. Oh, I meant training videos and safety briefings and such included.

@Lembik If you award the bounty to yourself, you get the bounty rep back, minus the part that gets lost to post the bounty

@flawr US. Avionics install/repair.

Ice cream is the only thing keeping me going through these hot days. It's like 100 degrees here.

Quill

Good morning, all

flawr

@Geobits Woah, thats cool, so what planes did you work on?

Alex A.

@Geobits Hah, if they showed too many crashes in safety videos, I think there'd be a big abandonment problem in the Air Force.

@Quill good afternoon

Geobits

@flawr Mostly cargo planes. C-130s more than anything.

Alex A.

@Mego Fahrenheit or Celsius

flawr

@AlexA. Kelvin.

TùxCräftîñg

@Quill good night (it's 23:00 currently)

Alex A.

Ice cream is probably pretty warm in comparison to 100 K.

Geobits

9:06 PM

@AlexA. We saw some terrible things, but the worst was a black box audio recording of a ground incident where a tech died :/

flawr

@Geobits These are beautiful beasts, did you like your job?

Alex A.

@Geobits ...oh :(

Anonymous

@AlexA. Like flawr said, Kelvin. I'm a penguin, remember?

Geobits

@flawr Yeah, it was a good job. I got out for personal reasons, not because I didn't like it overall.

Downgoat

@Mego i thought you said you weren't an arctic penguin?

Jun 23 at 19:27, by Mego

@Upgoat Many penguins are antarctic. Not all of them.

Geobits

9:08 PM

@Mego The hot weather is really messing with my egg-hatching. It's much more bearable at night.

Alex A.

Aw, is Minibits going to have a little brother or sister?

Geobits

Nah, he has eggs of his own.

FryAmTheEggman

I just noticed an ad on math.se for the OEIS, anyone else think we should have a similar one?

s/add/ad/

Downgoat

@FryAmTheEggman i dont think so because most people here A) know about OEIS B) won't be that interested as it's not very relevant to code-golf on its own

but if you want to post one sure and let the community vote

Nathan Merrill

9:09 PM

I think so

Anonymous

@Downgoat I think you are quite confused. I am an antarctic penguin. There are no penguins in the arctic.

Alex A.

@FryAmTheEggman Perhaps. You could always put a proposal on the meta post and see how it does

Nathan Merrill

I'd pick a better sequence

Alex A.

Dennis numbers

Downgoat

@Mego wait, so does your cat get cold or not?

Jun 23 at 19:25, by Upgoat

@Mego can penguins own cats? Won't the cat get cold in the igloo?

FryAmTheEggman

9:10 PM

Sure, I don't have time right now, but I'll try to do it soon

TùxCräftîñg

@Downgoat igloos keep heat, so it's not very cold in igloos

Alex A.

IIRC El'endia submitted it as an OEIS sequence and it was accepted.

Anonymous

@Downgoat No, she has lots of fur to keep her warm

FryAmTheEggman

Yeah it is, lemme find it...

El'endia Starman

@AlexA. I didn't submit Dennis numbers though.

Downgoat

9:11 PM

@Mego ohk

El'endia Starman

I have submitted two other unrelated sequences.

Alex A.

@El'endiaStarman Oh you didn't? What did you submit then?

El'endia Starman

@AlexA. The one from Electrons Bouncing in a Wire and...um...

Random OEIS of seemingly little importance

Alex A.

Oh that's right, it was GamrCorps that submitted Dennis numbers

flawr

@ArtOfCode Submitted my question, I hope to get answers soon!

Nathan Merrill

9:16 PM

oooh, here's an interesting sequence

oeis.org/A190810

feels like a really good code golf challenge

quartata

4.86 clicks per day on the sandbox ad, not bad

Nathan Merrill

a(1)=1, and if x is in a then 2x+1 and 3x-1

flawr

@NathanMerrill What is interesting about it?

FryAmTheEggman

Wasn't that random brainfuck IDE getting the most clicks? :P

flawr

I think we've seen one or the other quite similar sequences.

Q: Consecutive identical digits of pi

Your goal is to output the strictly increasing sequence of consecutive, identical digits of pi (π). So 3 (0th digit of pi) is the first time a run of digits occurs (length 1). The next to occur is 33 (digits 24 and 25 of pi). The ones I've found so far, and they all occur within the first 800 di...

Nathan Merrill

@flawr I can't seem to find any

also, did chat just die for any of you?

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill I did get the "connection died" banner.

Nathan Merrill

I was kicked off for a good 5 minutes

TùxCräftîñg

me too

quartata

chat.stackexchange was borked for 5 min

El'endia Starman

Must've happened when I wasn't really paying attention.

quartata

@FryAmTheEggman It's only been up for about a day, probably just got a lot of clicks when it was first posted

TIO is getting a lot of clicks.

Most users know about the sandbox so I'm not surprised it's not getting as many but it's good to see that it's getting some. That's 4 or 5 users whose posts won't be closed today ;P

mbomb007

@quartata I've been clicking it whenever I see it, to give it more clicks.

quartata

@mbomb007 Aggressively helpful

Nathan Merrill

@flawr anyways, its similar to the collatz conjecture (which is basically of the same format, but the conjecture is that every number is in the sequence)

mbomb007

9:27 PM

@quartata If not, I normally just type the start of the URL, then go.

quartata

@NathanMerrill Why did you ping me lol? Anyways yeah I noticed it looks pretty interesting

Nathan Merrill

er

mbomb007

I type r, and retina.tryitonline shows up

Nathan Merrill

my bad

you must have been chatting when I was trying to message flawr

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Calculate A190810 code-golf number Your task is pretty simple, calculate the n-th digit of A190810. Digits of A190810 are calculated in this way: a(1)=1, and if x is in a then 2x+1 and 3x-1 are in a. Test cases a(1) = 1 a(2) = 2 a(3) = 3 a(4) = 5 a(5) = 7 a(10) = 17 Since this is code-...

hey, do SSDs still have a skip time?

aka, if I wanted to read block 1,5,9,13, ect, would that be slower than 1,2,3,4...?

TùxCräftîñg

since SSD use flash memory, i think there is no skip time

Nathan Merrill

if that is true, then aren't Column-based databases going obsolete?

quartata

except for the fact that SSDs are still pricey and will be for some time I suspect. It wouldn't be cost effective to outfit a database server cluster with ssds I wouldn't think

especially considering you'd need big ones

Nathan Merrill

hence "going"

but yeah

quartata

9:43 PM

Oh, well sure

But it'll probably take longer than you might think
