12:00 AM
We don't exactly get a lot of showcase submissions.
 
Happy new year everybody!
 
you mean year
 
-1 for black borders and "day"
 
UTC+1, tho, right? What is this.
 
12:00 AM
Happy new year to all!
 
Why you no get reference?
 
No now it's UTC.
 
Also, it's a screenshot from majoras mask.
We should all just switch to internet time. So much easier.
 
it's not one that makes much sense without the context of the rest of the game though
but it's really heartwarming when you see it
 
I'd expect people to recognize it. It's a pretty basic reference.
 
12:04 AM
@Pavel Stack Exchange time is UTC. So, now it's new year for SE.
 
Yay! Glad everything makes sense.
 
@Pavel well you need to at least know the game; it's a pretty basic reference in the context of the rest of the game (and even if you haven't seen that part, it's instantly clear what it means if you've played past the intro), but if you don't have the context of the rest of the game, it's just a statement
 
I just got the outspoken badge for ten started messages. Didn't know I had five.
I've never played the game, it's just part of gamer culture. Wrong chat room,I guess.

Q: Determine whether a number is 2017-smooth without primes in your source code

Joe Z.Out of all the years I've been making this challenge, 2017 is the first year that's been a prime number. So the question will be about prime numbers and their properties. Your task is to produce a program or function that will take an arbitrarily large positive integer as input, and output or re...

 
Happy new year guys! :)
 
12:09 AM
Happy New Year UTC+0 \o/
 
Anyone here live in UTC 0?
 
iirc tricho and muddyfish, they're in the UK

UTC is best time zone
 
Also Mego apparently.
 
my dad has a windows 10 computer
and they have to keep resetting it
because it keeps updating without asking and making the computer unusable
 
12:12 AM
Hey, we have the fiery explosions too now
They're a bit late for it though
 
@DestructibleWatermelon disable Windows update?
 
@Mego are you in the UK/other UTC+0 country?
 
my brother says its possible, but its hidden really well or something
really it should just ask at the time
 
I know BetaDecay is
 
Start regedit.exe on the machine where you want to disable Windows Update.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
3. From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD value.
4. Enter a name of NoWindowsUpdate, and press Enter.
5. Double-click NoWindowsUpdate, and set it to 1.
6. Close regedit.
Anyone here in PST?
 
12:15 AM
CST for me.
 
That's how you disable Windows update.
 
Or, just get a Linux.
 
@EriktheOutgolfer eh no
 
@ZacharyT "Steps to disable Windows Update: 1) Wipe computer. 2) Install Linux. Windows Update should now be disabled."
 
12:19 AM
Instructions unclear, but at least screen doesn't have finger prints any more.

So there was a loud noise outside earlier. I thought it was just people shooting off fireworks. Turns out it was actually a plane crash. @flawr
 
@Mego Oh no! That's not really a good way to start the new year =/
I hope they are ok!
(Or to end one.)

One confirmed dead
 
=(
 
12:21 AM
Oh shit. How close to your house?
 
^ major milestone
 
Anonymous
Thought you might be interested, given your interest in plane crashes and such
 
@Mego Seems to be in an area with a lot of houses!
 
Anonymous
It's mostly commercial where the planes landed
 
Anonymous
The residential area is a few blocks away
 
12:24 AM
Ouch
 
Anonymous
The planes landed right outside of a Taco Bell
 
That bird is far more spastic than I expected it to be.
 
Anonymous
@flawr Yep that's the one
 
Well cu next year, for those who haven't hopped the line.
 
You know, when someone mentions a plane crash, mainstream media had trained me to assume that's it's a passenger jet.

@Pavel I live in UTC+0 this half of the year
 
Is there a way to dismiss pings without replying?
 
Tap on it.
 
I feel a little silly now...
 
*alot.
 
12:30 AM
@orlp Oh, because that's too normal in Greece, like dropping loud stuff on the roads for festivity etc.
 
hi guys anyone wanna help with my koth?
should I have health packs in it?
 
Link your koth?
 
um, how about the room
 
Sure
And they're generally called medkits these days.
 

 Maze battle Koth

@Pavel whatever
 
12:41 AM
happy new year from the UK!
(40 mins ago)
 
15 minutes until UTC-1!
 
Thx
 
Who's the farthest - from UTC? I've got -5.
 
Pavel's in PST, which is -8.
 
12:49 AM
CMC: Which TNB regular is the nerdiest?
 
Dennis
:P
 
What is Dennis.
 
we're all nerds here. we write short code for fun
anyway, have a good prime year everybody
there won't be another one until 2027
 
True, but some are more nerdy than others
 
No one knows what Dennis is. It's a great mystery.
 
12:50 AM
Unless of course, your name is Adam, then you pretty much do that for a living.
6
 
haha
 
Didn't we just have UTC 0?
 
I've still got 6 hours
 
Sorry, -1.
 
@DJMcMayhem "All nerds are equal, but some are more equal than others"?
 
1:00 AM
Happy new year to negative UTC!
 
@El'endiaStarman thank you
 
I know y'all are a little excited, but c'mon.
 
WAT.
 
Goddammit starman. It was fun.
 
1:04 AM
How about your new years resolution is to stop fooling around in here.
 
@Pavel Your fun does not take precedence over others enjoying a (relatively) noise-free environment.

I still have seven hours to dick around in that case @mınxomaτ
 
My new year's resolution is to stop wasting so much time on TNB.
Oh crap, I already broke it. Oh well
 
@Pavel I am not averse to suspending you for a short time.
 
I just wasted several hours refreshing PPCG. There is surprisingly little to do with seven hours till new years.
 
1:09 AM
4 hours here. :O.
 
Btw years actually isn't special for me. I'm just probably going to watch anime for the rest of the day. It's a shame too, but all my friends are away...

1:24 AM

> Power on hours: 8 months
WAT?

@TuxCopter is that a lot?
 
8 months is ~240 days and that's a lot
 
wat
@TuxCopter got the drive ~2 years ago and the computer has been on for a lot of that time
it's my main desktop and I rarely turn it off
also my nvidia gpu seems to not be working
 
Have you tried rebooting your computer?
 
wat
1:29 AM
@TuxCopter for what purpose?
I just installed Arch Linux
 
btw do you never update your kernel?

Oh wait it's ot the uptime it's the total power on hours >_>

The "Showcase language" thing says it's unlocked
But it's locked
It's 9:30 here
 
8:30 here. Lucky.
 
Ah hah! @wat, I found someone in my time zone! Unless you are twelve hours away from me.
Actually, that wouldn't make sense since you just have 24 hour time.
 
wat
1:37 AM
@Pavel PST?
 
We can celebrate 2017 together!
:D
 
EST!
 
CST!
Is it OK to repost a challenge that was previously posted by someone else and closed? What if it's improved?
 
15 minutes until UTC-2.
 
@AndrewLi yes, but you should specify which question you're replacing. I believe this had been successfully done only once before though, you should make sure it's good for before reposting.
 
1:47 AM
Okay, thanks
On mobile, huh?
 
Yeah.
 
;)
 
2:00 AM
HAPPY NEW YEAR (UTC -2? Is that it?)
 
The first UTC of the negative of a prime number! Happy new years, all! ✨ ❇ 🌟 (I think that's Greenland, actually)
 
Still 8:00 for me
:(
 
Still nine o'clock here.
 
Greenland and a weird corner of Brazil, apparently.
 
2:22 AM
It's 10:22AM here
 
Wat. +8, right?
 
That's Australia,I think?
 
+8?
 
Isn't it?
 
Qwerp-Derp. Isn't his time zone +8?
 
2:31 AM
Part of Australia is +8
 
Irkutsk, Indonesia, west. Australia
 
So is China, part of Indonesia, Philippines, and a small part in Russia
 
That's it, from now on @Qwerp-Derp is Australian in my mind.
 
He's probably Australian.

Q: Generate a Padovan Spiral

Andrew LiIntroduction Similar to the Fibonacci Sequence, the Padovan Sequence (OEIS A000931) is a sequence of numbers that is produced by adding previous terms in the sequence. The initial values are defined as: P(0) = P(1) = P(2) = 1 The 0th, 1st, and 2nd terms are all 1. The recurrence relation is s...

 
2:36 AM
@Qwerp-Derp, are you australian?
 
That's China's timezone as well, I'm in China
But yes I'm Aussie
 
Cool
 
@Pavel But I am Australian.
 
So I was right, is what you're telling me.
 
Yes.
It's just the phrasing of "In my mind" in your sentence that kinda implied it needed clarification.
 
2:40 AM
Ok. Whatcha doin' in China on new year's?
 
It's the holidays in Australia right now, so decided to visit relatives and stuff.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ can we please make this a "Best of PPCG" category. :3
 
@Pavel Where are you from?
 
I live in Seattle, I'm from Russia.
 
@Downgoat up to you :p

@Downgoat what should be a PPCG category?

Worst CAPTCHA ever

@wat yes.
 
2:47 AM
I wanted to get first responder from that
 
wat
@Pavel kek
 
@Pavel at the end of year we have categories for best PPCG posts. I'm proposing a category for the best PPCG post that uses farm animal
 
I'm for that, but aren't there only ~2 posts that qualify, both by you?
 
it's not a bug, it's a feature
 
@Pavel Well they are 2 goat challenges I've posted but I think Helka posted 1 too
 
2:59 AM
Might as well, HAPPY NEW YEAR UTC-3!
 
:(
 
Two ... hours ... left.
 
I feel sorry for anyone in UTC-12, UTC-11, ...;
 
Are there people that live in 12?
 
3:05 AM
No, there might be people, they just don't live there.
 
First time I've ever been safe in a CnR. :D Can't add solution now due to exhaustion, but I am a proud parent.
Using an exploit in my own programming language that I don't quite understand. \o/
 
@Downgoat I presume then you know about the farm animal Steam Award right

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Stewie GriffinRock-paper-scissors king-of-the-hill This is far, far from finished, I just want to get feedback on the idea. I'm not entirely sure it's doable, and maybe there's a very simple "This approach will guaranteed give you 1/3 wins, and can't be beaten" or "The latest posted submission is almost guar...

 
@Pavel The main cause of fireworks around here are football games.

Don't talk Mr. Lenght!
