Just because wizzwizz said the word spam doesn't mean you need to spam Tux ;)

He was just saying the word "back".

@Fatalize The user has two accounts already...

@wizzwizz4 huh

@Fatalize: Do you know why writeln prints on a newline here? It seems as if 2 should be on the same line as 1.

Do you think I should add their other account to the chatroom?

TùxCräftîñg

idk

logic programming look like a weird version of functional programming

Lynn

Wait, do we require <?php for PHP answers or not

wizzwizz4

@Lynn Yes, we do.

TùxCräftîñg

Otherwise Hello, World! wouldn't be a valid PHP answer.

@BetaDecay I hate to break it to you, but print r'''(the literal pie)''' is actually 155 bytes in Python.

Python 2, 147 bytes Don’t overthink it... print'()'*6+r''' |\3.1415926| |:\53589793| \::\2384626| a433832| a79502| a8841| a971| a69| a3| \__\|'''.replace('a',' \::\\')

replaceing is hard! It’s so expensive in Python

Make that 145, but still it's amusing that it doesn't save much :/

O RLY?

O RLY? is an Internet phenomenon, typically presented as an image macro featuring a snowy owl. The phrase "O RLY?", an abbreviated form of "Oh, really?", is popularly used in Internet forums in a sarcastic manner, often in response to an obvious, predictable, or blatantly false statement. Similar owl image macros followed the original to present different views, including images with the phrases "YA RLY" (Yeah, really.) and "NO WAI!!" (No way!). == History == Outside of Internet forums, O RLY? has been referenced in various video games, including World of Warcraft in which the auctioneer characters...

this.tokens.shit(); why do they named the function shift ;_;

zyabin101

@TùxCräftîñg It does, i.e. for setting VM memory size and virtual mediums, such as the boot floppy and hard disk to keep the data in.

A: How should Community Wikis be used?

Community wiki is not a rep waiver I've mentioned that from time to time in the past. Community wiki doesn't just mean that you cannot earn rep from a post. Yes, it does have that side effect, but the community wiki option is for posts that can be edited by anyone without worrying about post ow...

I just feel guilty when someone offers byte-saves that contain new key insights, like Sp3000’s '_:'[n<''] here

@JonathanAllan I'd encourage you to take the rep, so that we don't create a culture where people feel they need to waive rep.

Sep 2 at 14:29, by trichoplax

@JonathanAllan I understand how you feel. One of my favourite of my own solutions was only possible thanks to huge amounts of help from 4 other people, but they encouraged me to not make it CW and in hindsight I think that was the right decision, as I don't like the idea of there being a peer pressure to sacrifice rep. I know yours is an extreme example, and you're getting plenty of rep from your other solutions, but I'd rather see CW avoided just so it doesn't set the example

@Lynn So uhh, unless you insist, I'd un-CW your answer if that's okay?

That’s okay :)

I still feel a little guilty about this. Rep is weird
