@betseg jediism is also an official religion...
 
How long until I reach 10k?
 
@betseg He's an american, how is he supposed to know then how something is pronounced?
 
Shots fired XD
 
@BetaDecay October?
 
10:15 AM
Huh, I'm alright with that. I'll probably be on half term by then
 
@B1KMusic There are no new classes, there's only one class (S). The code uses a static initializer, it throws the SO before the jvm figures out there's no main method. Works with java 6. — aditsu Feb 5 '14 at 20:20

Hello
 
@flawr British English is more different than Ye Olde English, than American English
 
@zyabin101 olleH

@BetaDecay american english is closer to this than british english is close to this
 
> And of his craft was he a carpentre
Definitely American
 
Why do people care?

10:58 AM
I still didn't tell anyone about my dice-only game. >.<
Should I tell?
Okay. because no one has attention me, I won't.
 
@zyabin101 I saw your initial post about it
 
And you want to listen more? :D

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

NeilValidate the traversals Given inorder and preorder traversals of a binary tree, return a truthy or falsy value depending on whether they could be from the same tree. Input can be strings of characters or arrays of characters or numbers, whatever is the most convenient. You can assume both input...

this room is quiet
 
^
I still didn't tell about my dice-only game. >.>
While no discourse is going on, I'll continue. Reminder to start of discourse.
The first tree turns of the example game were in vain.
[1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
[1] [1] (3) {4} {4}
3 statues came alive!
[1] [1] [1] [1] (1)
(1) (1) (3) {4} {4}
2 locks to wizards!
[1] [1] (1) (1) (1)
(1) (1) (3) <4> <4>
Turn 4: 16 pts
^ However, the forth turn is a miracle, making 5 statues come alive.
 
Woohoo! \o/ I just got my first bounty ever!

A: indent command does not indent matched lines

DJMcMayhemI'm guessing the problem is that :global operates linewise, so the \zs and \ze in your regex don't do anything; They still apply to the line that matched the entire pattern, not the line that the selection starts and ends on. For example, if you have the following text: foo bar and you do :g/...

 
When in a roll, there is no 1, some statues come alive and return to play.
The amount of such statues is the same as lowest die's value that is not a statue or a wizard.
Then, wizards come into play, and one wizard per statue is recovered.
The wizards themselves get the lock themselves, putting them out of play for one turn.
[1] [1] (2) [1] {4}
{4} [1] [1] (4) (4)
Turn 5: 18 pts
 
1:09 PM
@DJMcMayhem But it's on vi.se, so it kinda doesn't count :P
 
^^ Once the turn ends, however, the lock(s) are removed (they are wizards, what do you expect?) and they become regular peasants.
Fast forward to end of game:
[1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
{4} [1] (2) {4} {4}
Turn 6: 14 pts

[1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
[1] (2) {4} [1] [1]
Turn 7: 6 pts

[1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
[1] [1] [1] [1] {4}
Turn 8: 4 pts

[1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
[1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
Turn 9: 0 pts
None left to help...
^ The game can end in two ways.
One, the game is lost if at one point, all dice become statues.
 
anyone familiar with saml in here
 
Two, the game is won if after one turn, there are no statues.
 
@Geobits what? Of course it does! That's my second favorite site!
 
@Poke Nope.
 
1:13 PM
:P
 
@DJMcMayhem I knew there was something off about you ;)
 
That's all of the main rules.
 
My first favorite is obviously:
 
Anyone here know what a good design for a climbing wall would be?
I've thought of painting it with chalkboard paint so it'd be good for smearing on
 
You're building a climbing wall?
 
1:16 PM
Haha yep, on the back of my house
 
Woah sweet. I love climbing
 
A good design would start with a creek running through the yard. Then wait a few million years for canyons to form.
 
Except we don't have the few million years.
 
@DJMcMayhem It's more of a bouldering wall because it's only around 12 ft high and I won't use a rope on it
 
What about the water bill?
 
1:17 PM
@El'endiaStarman I remember a while back that you had some heuristics for parsing individual conversations out of the transcript
Did you ever implement those?
 
@BetaDecay I love bouldering too!
 
@zyabin101 Patience is a virtue
 
The example game of Dicing with Disaster, including a total scoring variant suggested by me.
(You can use any scoring variant however.)
 
@Geobits I'm all for waiting millions of years, but I don't think my house will still be there once it's formed
 
How ya doin
 
1:19 PM
You won't need a house. You'll have a sweet canyon to live in.
 
@betseg good.
 
Not really. North Wales is a very wet place.
I'd rather just move to Utah if I wanted to live in a canyon
 
Oh. Yeah Wales probably isn't good for canyons in general.
But then you'd be living in Utah >_>
 
Utah is pretty awesome
 
I dunno. I was there for a couple weeks once. It seemed like one of those "nice to visit" places more than "nice to live" to me.
 
1:23 PM
The southern sandstone is the coolest place. I imagine it'd be brilliant for climbing
@Geobits Yeah but you live in Arizona don't you? There isn't a huge amount of difference between the two
 
Me? No, Florida.
 
Florida iirc
 
Meh, same state
 
Except for basically everything, yes.
 
@DJMcMayhem Where abouts do you hail from?
 
1:26 PM
Colorful Colorado
 
Ahh nice. East or west?
 
I love it here. There are some great bouldering spots like 15 minutes from my house
 
Haha you must get great winters too
 
North. East Colorado is basically just utah
:P
@BetaDecay yeah, but it is pretty dry here. Not a ton of rain or snow. We never get those huge snow storms the east coast is always being hammered with
 
Not even hurricanes? :o
 
1:30 PM
Nope.
 
Well at least you have high mountains
Good for long runs
 
Many americans here, i want to ask something, are the fat/stupid stereotypes true?
 
Haha well that's a weird question
 
Yeah I love living at high elevation. I'm used to it but when people visit they're all out of breath, haha. I live just above 5k
 
@betseg Where are you from?
 
1:32 PM
There's also fourteeners which are a blast to climb
 
@Rainbolt not america
 
@betseg Judging from the current state of the elections, clearly the stupid one must be true. :/
 
@DJMcMayhem They're breathless at 5k? Wow haha
BTW I'm used to the Alps being measured in metres, so I was amazed at first when you said you lived above 5000 XD
 
@betseg This really depends on what part of the country and what social circles you're talking about, like it would anywhere else. However, it does seem at least more true than either Germany or Japan, the two other main countries I've spent a lot of time in.
 
@BetaDecay hahaha
5000 meters would be insane
 
1:35 PM
@DJMcMayhem saem in here :/
 
And you'd be surprised. 5k feet isn't that high, but if I go up a couple thousand more, I can feel a difference
Mostly when you're being active though
 
@DJMcMayhem Yeah. Unfortunately in Wales, the highest mountain is 3559 ft. It's not even the best mountain in the range
 
@betseg When I went for a school trip to North Carolina, I went two weeks to a highschool. I'd say about 1 out of 3 people was obese
which is a lot
 
Woah m8
 
That was about 9 years ago though

@Fatalize So, it's 1 out of 2 now? :D
 
Mt. Democrat iirc
 
Probably less now I'd guess
 
@DJMcMayhem Was that from your house?
Or were you camping?
 
@DJMcMayhem Where is that?
 
1:42 PM
MS update servers stuck at 2MB/s again ಠ_ಠ
 
@BetaDecay haha no, my house is much less interesting than that. I was hiking with some friends

Mt. Democrat iirc
@DJMcMayhem That's incredible :D
Have you ever been to the Alps?
 
No I haven't. I'd like to though, they look pretty cool
 
"Mt democrat" is there a Mt Republican?
 
1:45 PM
Haha, there is mount Lincoln right next to it, so kinda
 
I'm not clicking that
 
It's a pretty strange name for a peak
 
@BetaDecay What the... what kind of janky browser won't display webp images?

^ doesn't display either, Firefox
 
Mozilla Firefox
 
1:47 PM
Haha, I just googled it, and apparently it used to be named republic mount
 
Turns out there's math on comp sci class... this is last straw brb dropping out
 
@DJMcMayhem Does each party keep changing its name?
 
@Downgoat I don't know what you expected comp sci would be…
2
 
Apparently not java and/or math :P
 
Cats and doges
 
1:49 PM
@Downgoat I hate to break this to you, but comp Sci is basically just applied math.
 
discrete math
 
@Downgoat BTW just so you know, physics has a tiny bit of maths in it too ;)
 
@Downgoat is it a "comp Sci" class that's really just a programming class, or is it really a computer science class?
Cause I've taken both
 
@Fatalize I expected it to either be sorting algorithms or just a programming class since that's what comp sci classes appear to be today
@DJMcMayhem ;_;
 
It's actually more like meta math

1:56 PM
What kind of math did you do in that CS course?
 
Wait a minute... are you saying astronomy isn't about telescopes?
 
@Fatalize me?
 
@Fatalize I haven't even started but apparently we need scientific calculator which idk why we would even need in computer sci class
 
So you can learn TI-BASIC, obviously :P
 
That would be if it was graphing calculator

@DJMcMayhem array.prototype.sort :P
@Fatalize what is this "life" you speak of
 
@DJMcMayhem first by suit (alternating colors), then ascending two through ace. Depending on the game of course. Slightly different for things like rummy.
 
@Dennis Congrats on your mortarboard. :D
 
@TimmyD Dennis rep caps like everyday :P
 
Yeah, but usually not from solely one answer.
 
It's too bad you only get the mortarboard once.

I need to make more upgoat downgoat challenges t get Legendary
 
Some may say I spilled water on my desk and keyboard this morning. I maintain I was just cleaning them.
Six paper towels later and everything is shiny.
 
XD
 
The shocking truth Poke doesn't want you to know. Click HERE to see the disturbing video for yourself!
 
@Geobits -1 for Rick roll
 
It justifies keeping my water on the other side of my keyboard from my laptop, though
 
2:07 PM
@Downgoat Huh? I thought I linked to the ocean waves video. Because, you know, spilled water and all.
 
I mean that everything was intentional to demonstrate what could have happened >.>
 
@Geobits oh...

Q: Is it a Bumpy Word?

TimmyD(inspired by this challenge over on Puzzling) If a letter in a word occurs alphabetically later than the previous letter in the word, we call that a rise between the two letters. Otherwise, including if it's the same letter, it's called a fall. For example, the word ACE has two rises (A to C an...

 
@Fatalize How can you NOT have a favorite sorting algorithm when ones like the Intelligent Design Sorting Algorithm exist?!?!
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
2:11 PM
it's nonsensical
 
@Poke -1 for rickr— nvm
 
ha
 
Bubblesort is best sort. Cuz it's got bubbles.
 
Yeah but that time complexity, though
 
If there was, like, a chocolate-cake-with-dark-chocolate-frosting sort, then that would be the best sort.
 
2:12 PM
Not everything is better with bubbles. Take tea for example.
Or window tinting. Terrible with bubbles.
 
@Geobits or phone screen protector
 
I forgot people use those things.
 
._.
 
Don't forget nitrogen bubbles. No one wants the bends
 
well with hooves ya gotta

@BetaDecay I can't do a chat profile refresh but I can do a chat window refresh, will that it? :P
 
@Downgoat I have a 55% in mine right now. Stupid group projects with bad communication, forgot to turn stuff in. Nothing to do with programming until December...

In the meantime, Chip took the wrong way, and... whizz bang bummer!
 
@quartata Yeah. I never did get around to implementing anything more than chains of direct replies because I was baffled by messages cutting off at apostrophes, but I didn't have that problem with the TNBDE, so I don't really know what was going on.
 
2:33 PM
@El'endiaStarman Good one. I like how it's easily done in parallel. Glad to see someone is taking my poll seriously. :P
 
I've always been partial to shell sort
 
it's the 6th time zalgo ping quartata .-.
 
I know, I ignored it
 
@TùxCräftîñg just remove the msgs that ping him, and we will be okai.
Zalgo, Tux, quartata, and me.
 
2:37 PM
@BetaDecay you changed avatar? :O
 
Zalgo rickrolled
 
Do you get +2 rep when a topic you made gets an example on SO docs?
 
@El'endiaStarman Do you have some of the ideas written out somewhere, if not implemented?
 
@quartata Two ideas I had were to look for periods where only two, maybe three people were chatting, since that's pretty suggestive of a conversation, and also look for rare words or phrases that are shared between messages close together in time.
 
@zyabin101 Just a minor change
 
2:41 PM
@BetaDecay Looks okay except output format - "You may display this information however you wish" is pretty broad
 
yay zalgo succesfully rickrolled
 
@quartata Ultimately, I was thinking of making some sort of scoring system that combines scores from direct replies, closeness in time, sharing rare words, and maybe one or two more criteria and outputs groups of messages with a score greater than some threshold.
 
@sanchises There was a typo in the "bumpy word" challenge. After the correction in the challenge, I think your approach is valid
Sorry - I had typo'd ... ABB should be a truthy case (A to B is rise, B to B is fall), while BBA is a falsey case (B to B is fall, B to A is fall). — TimmyD 6 mins ago
 
@Sp3000 I see I'll tighten that up a bit
 
@sanchises In fact, d0>d (4 bytes) works
 
2:56 PM
@LuisMendo I guess you could say you guys are in a BATL
:P
 
@DJMcMayhem :-) Sanchises was correct. It was the typo in the test case that misled me
If he undeleted his answer, it would be 4 bytes
How many undelete votes does it take to undelete an answer?
 
@LuisMendo 3. :)
I Just casted the third
 
@DJMcMayhem Oh, great!

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ G'marnin
 
@El'endiaStarman This is probably what I'm going to do. I'll turn these ideas into classifiers and then train up an ANN that takes the results and spits out a score. Training will have to be supervised (and a pain in the ass) but the results should be really good
 
@quartata Yeah, I figured there would necessarily be some (or a lot of) fine-tuning in order to get the best results.
 
3:09 PM
The common uncommon words is a really good idea, by the way.
 
@quartata Thanks. ^_^ Incidentally, if you can manage to include synonyms too, that would be even better.

@flawr Damn that's too many. Not even The Edge could handle that
 
What happened to your avatar?
 
3:17 PM
beta decay
 
@flawr It decayed, I guess.
 
I changed it to the symbol of the Klingon Empire in the style of my other avatar
 
@flawr Oooh. Stompbox heaven :-)
I'm more into Boss stuff, though
 
@flawr oh my god that's beautiful
All my guitar gear is digital
 
Hiss
Analogue all the way
 
3:20 PM
@DJMcMayhem I recently got this. It serves absolutely all my needs
 
@LuisMendo Oh we have another expert on gutar stuff here=)
 
@flawr Haha. Aficionado, rather
 
@LuisMendo ooh, pretty. I have something similar, but I'm really bad with it
 
I like that word=)
 
@flawr The hardest part for me is to force myself not to pronounce it in Spanish :-)
 
3:21 PM
 
@DJMcMayhem Looks good too!
 
@LuisMendo How would you pronounce it in spanish?
 
No overdrive?
^^ Or is it included in "dist"? @DJMcMayhem
@flawr Hm... Do you know IPA?
 
@LuisMendo The kind of beer?
 
@LuisMendo no, it's got overdrive. It simulates a whole bunch of different pedal types, and a bunch of amps. The cool thing is they're all modeled after other well known pedals/amps
 
3:23 PM
@LuisMendo Oh the phonetic alphabet! Not really but I can look it up
 
@flawr Hahaha. International Phonetic Alphabet. It would be
/a.fi.cjo'na.ðo/
 
@LuisMendo Hm thats about how I would have pronounced it.
 
@DJMcMayhem It's similar to mine then. I bought it for the pedals, but the amp simulation is nice too. And one of the best parts is the USB output for recording
 
But then again, I don't know any spanish=)
 
Iirc it let's you mix and match amp, cabinet, two FX pedals, dist, reverb, delay, EQ and real pedals, if you want to use them
 
3:25 PM
Just got started with TensorFlow, and damn it's like machine learning heaven
 
@flawr Well, pronunciation in Spanish is really straightforward. Very predictable from the spelling
 
@LuisMendo Oh, nice! Avid makes eleven rack, so it's integrated with and comes with a license for pro tools
 
BTW: I'm thinking of buying a looper for practicing. I have an accustic guitar however. Most loopers seem to have an aux in, that way I could use the mic of a recording device. Is it possible to plug mics directly into those pedals?
 
I have a hard time understanding pro tools though
 
@DJMcMayhem What style do you play? Mine is quite varied, but here's an idea (and a bit of self-promotion)
 
3:26 PM
@flawr I would imagine so.
 
haha the only huh-less conversations of Zalgo are with Marky
 
@flawr I never tried. it's probably optimized for line input
 
Do you need some kind of preamp or so? I thought some mics need to be provided with some voltage, right?
 
Uhh no, I don't think so
My acoustic doesn't have a preamp and it works
 
@flawr When you say accoustic, do you mean completely acoustic? Or acoustic with line output?
 
3:30 PM
@LuisMendo Completely acoustic.
 
@LuisMendo I don't play as much guitar as I used to, since my band kinda fell apart and I spend most of my free time with computers right now. But I mostly liked playing heavier stuff, like rock blues and punk. We probably would have played metal if we were better at it, haha
That's what I listen to mostly
 
@flawr Ok. I have one of those too. I don't think it would sound good plugging a mike into the processor and playing
@DJMcMayhem Metal and hard rock seems to be very popular in US
 
In all honesty, I'm much better at piano than I ever was at guitar
 
@LuisMendo what do you mean by processor?
 
@LuisMendo it's definitely very much a sub-culture. The majority of people dislike it, and the people who do like it really like it.
 
3:34 PM
@flawr The machines in the pictures. Effects processors. They include some limited looping capabilities, I thought you referred to that
@DJMcMayhem More or less like in Spain then
 
I've never heard any Spanish metal before, haha
 
@DJMcMayhem I can't recommend any good ones, sorry :-) I'm not much into metal anyway. I do like some stuff by Metallica and Iron Maiden
 
@DJMcMayhem I dunno if it's within the same vein of the metal you listen to, but you should check out Psychocandy by The Jesus and Mary Chain
Actually I'm not sure if it's metal at all
 
@BetaDecay I don't think it is. I like that band. Well, some songs. Specially "Just like honey"
 
Yeah, they're amazing. Although listening to the whole of Psychocandy gives me a slight headache :D
 
3:40 PM
@BetaDecay Thanks for the suggestion! Do you like Ride? (the band)
 
@LuisMendo Oh, by looping I mean something like this: digitech.com/en/products/jamman-solo-xt
 
@flawr Ah, ok. A pedal for looping. My advice is, for a little more money you can get an effects processor that packs a lot of those pedals into one machine
 
@LuisMendo I haven't heard of them but I'll check them out.
I see the bass player from Oasis was part of Ride, so it sounds good :D
 
@BetaDecay Go look for the song Twisterella. It's a masterpiece. It gives me the goosebumps every single time
 
@LuisMendo Well I don't think I need anything like that, as I'm not planning to switch on an e-guitar in the near future, the only thing I'd like to have was an easy way to record and play back or perhaps overdub some chord progressions. (at least at the moment)
 
3:43 PM
@flawr For that I'd just use a computer with a program such as Cubase or Pro Tools. Not sure about prices, though
There are free alternatives too. I used Mixcraft in the past, but it doesn't seem to be freeware anymore
 
@LuisMendo They're brilliant, but not what I was expecting :D They're a lot more like the Stone Roses than Oasis
 
@BetaDecay They are the archetypical shoegazing band, if that makes sense (I'm never sure what those labels mean)
 
@LuisMendo Hm, I'd like to avoid using a computer =/ (My laptop is just enough for showing some slideshows but nothing more, and my main "tower" pc is not where usually practice=)
 
@BetaDecay Thanks, I'll check em out! I'm always looking for new music
 
@El'endiaStarman So my plan for training is to have a program hang out in TNB recording all messages, and have a human watching and plugging in the message IDs of complete conversations. Then the program will spit out the training data ("truthy" cases will be comparing all the messages in the conversation to each other, "falsey" cases will be comparing all the messages to an equivalent amount of random recent messages not in the conversation)

@BetaDecay But I agree, a lot more like Stone Roses. One of my favourite bands too!
 
The annoying part is the "human watching part." We might need a few volunteers
 
Oh and I should probably have mentioned that I had the opportunity to play around with a looping pedal and just really liked the simplicity=)
 
@LuisMendo Haha yeah, they are my favourite band
I've become slightly obsessed with Madchester music
 
Something nice is that if I play my cards right I could also make this Laffy's new metric. Two for one
 
@BetaDecay I must have listened to their fist album hundreds of times. I only like that one (by them) actually

@quartata What about having the program guess what groups of messages are conversations and then someone says "yes" or "no"? Is that possible/feasible? For instance, we had and still have a conversation about guitars and music.
 
@LuisMendo Have you heard their new singles All For One and Beautiful Thing?
 
@BetaDecay Hm no. I heard they reunited
 
Yeah. I wanted to go and see them in Manchester but I had exams the next day :P
 
@TimmyD Heh, that's quite true. In terms of upvotes per hour, I think this is my most popular answer so far.
 
@El'endiaStarman That would definitely work too but either way it involves human input, and I think the former will be quicker

@quartata what do metric do you use for laff?
 
Hamming distance currently.
