@TùxCräftîñg why the long face?

mınxomaτ

@TùxCräftîñg That smiley isn't as universal as you think it is.

Downgoat

@orlp ik wtf are you doing playing Tetris in this day and age

@Downgoat Why would you not?

orlp

@TùxCräftîñg oh no what happened to your face

Downgoat

@orlp must be a penguin thing

Stop now.

Downgoat

I'm starting to think Tux is a bot which just posts ._. doubling in length every message

mınxomaτ

@trichoplax You make the regex for it.

quartata

@Downgoat not ure what you mean by polyfill but here's the button in any other language

Downgoat

@mınxomaτ i already have one brb

TùxCräftîñg

@Downgoat sry, i am a real person, at least i think

Q: Rearrange a number into alphabetical order

Given a non-negative integer (n), create a function that returns n in alphabetical order, according to the literal spelling of each digit in n. Examples: Input: 101 >> one, zero, one >> one, one, zero Output: 110 Input: 31948 >> three, one, nine, four, eight >> eight, four, nine, one, three Ou...

code-golf

mınxomaτ

@Downgoat I'm confident that we, collectively, can break any RegEx.

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

Seems like the ._. emoticon is @Tùx' trade mark.

quartata

def onclick():
sleep(2000)
socket.write(packet)

TùxCräftîñg

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 .____.

quartata

damn that was easy

trichoplax

9:02 PM

@mınxomaτ Agreed... I was just thinking of making a rule for humans though

Downgoat

@quartata the bigger problem is why are you writing synchronous networking code

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

Seems it is.

quartata

The bigger problem is why can't you get that often times you need something exactly like that

Downgoat

I mean you can do a syncronous request in JS but it's considered such bad practice you'll never see it

quartata

also i could have sent the packet async doesnt change anything about timing

Zizouz212

9:04 PM

Really folks?

mınxomaτ

What? Have there been flags?

quartata

?

Sherlock9

The more I read this chat, the more I realize that there is far more to programming than my untrained imagination could dream of

quartata

Oh flags on the smileys

Zizouz212

I mean... -___- all you want... But if something happens, I highly doubt you want to add pings to that.

Downgoat

9:05 PM

function onclick() {
    setTimeout(() => fs.write(socket, buffer), 2000);
}

Sherlock9

Or maybe I should just pay better attention in class

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@Zizouz212 WOBBUFFET! (You're back)

Oh lol

hugs him

Yo!

9:06 PM

Hey there!

Zizouz212

Umm...

TùxCräftîñg

i should probably stop spamming with smileys

orlp

saturday will be such an amazing day...

super mario maker

Zizouz212

What makes you think I am a "him"?

orlp

ocarina of time

Zizouz212

9:06 PM

@TùxCräftîñg That would be a good idea

orlp

diablo 2

pokemon red

quartata

@Downgoat a potential 50 ms delay is criminal

Sherlock9

@Zizouz212 Oh don't mind me. Just saying hi :D

orlp

tasbot (!)

all of you guys need to watch the tasbot

@Downgoat Clearly 0.006ms will break my app

Zizouz212

@Sherlock9 Hey! I was mostly referring to @zʏᴀʙiɴ101 lol

Sherlock9

Oh misunderstood the umm

orlp

@aditsu you should definitely watch the tasbot on saturday

Zizouz212

I don't think I've seen you before :)

aditsu

the wat?

orlp

9:07 PM

TAS bot

Sherlock9

So which section of SE do you hail from

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@orlp The TAS bot?

orlp

tas = tool assisted speedrun

Downgoat

@quartata why?? Your app is most probably fundamentally flawed in how it's communicating if things need to communicate at perfect times

aditsu

¯\_(o_º)_/¯

orlp

9:08 PM

computer programmed controller providing frame perfect inputs for a game

Zizouz212

@Sherlock9 The fun and games section :)

Sherlock9

@Zizouz212 I've been here since November, but I'm here regularly

orlp

a literally perfect speedrun

Sherlock9

@Zizouz212 ooh :D

aditsu

@orlp I don't know why you keep recommending this stuff

Zizouz212

9:08 PM

#Open Source is fun!

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

He will make some game on some modern system connected to Twitch chat? :D

TùxCräftîñg

this is the definition of TAS

quartata

@Downgoat oh so every realtime webapp is flawed?

Sherlock9

@orlp Did I just miss one?

Zizouz212

So... @zʏᴀʙiɴ101 What makes you think I am a "him"?

quartata

9:08 PM

This is dumb.

mınxomaτ

Lolwhat. 50ms is insanely long.

Downgoat

@quartata no, you use APIs rather than reinvent communication protocols by yourself

orlp

@aditsu two years ago they made a speedrun for super mario world

they exploited a glitch that allowed them to run arbitrary gameboy code

they used it to stream twitch chat over the controller to the console

Downgoat

I'm saying your server shouldn't expect the ping from the client to happen at an exact time.

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@Zizouz212 -.(o.o).-

Zizouz212

9:10 PM

I'm outta here.

mınxomaτ

@Zizouz212 Probably a native language that has genders for thins like "user", so you think in genders no matter what language you speak.

aditsu

@orlp yawn

Sherlock9

@Zizouz212 @zʏᴀʙiɴ101 may be referring to the Wobbuffet

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@orlp Another year, they made Pokemon connected to Twitch chat :O

orlp

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 oh that one is what I wanted to refer to

the super mario world was a different one I believe

Sherlock9

9:11 PM

@Zizouz212 Have a good day :D

quartata

@Downgoat a time reasonably close to an exact time != exact time. Penty of realtime things would bork on something as long as 50 ms. That's huge

mınxomaτ

50ms is huge.

Downgoat

@quartata yeah but it isn't 50ms delay?

To put it in perspective 50 ms + standard internet conection would cause source to throw a prediction error and it was optimized for dialup

@Downgoat read what malty said

@Downgoat are you kidding, you get max like 50 ms prescision

^ that?

i thought it was well known that you're not supposed to trust random claims on the internet

quartata

9:14 PM

Yes. He then went on to explain that that occurs commonly during mid to heavy stress which your example is not

aditsu

I used to read his name as "Malytsen"

orlp

@aditsu well, I'm at a loss as to what's entertaining for you then :P

A: Programming in Minecraft (Redstone) - how to measure program size?

There is now an MC Standard for bytecount. With the 1.10 update, they introduced a block called the "structure block", which creates a .nbt file representing a structure in its entirety that can be measured in bytes. As this is a Minecraft standard for converting builds into bytes, this should b...
