@Mr.Xcoder lol rip

I found a bug in physics.

:o

It had six legs and wings, so I think it was an insect.

sigh I thought you found a glitch in physics and I was like "o are we all going to die yay" lol

Oh, I found one of those too.

really

@HyperNeutrino wait how does this work [2, 1] - 1 = [1, 0]?

I was running really fast then I tripped over my foot and I noticed that my shoelace was undone then I didn't fall then I noticed that I wasn't falling then I fell.

@Downgoat Pointers.

@wizzwizz4 wtflol <-- confused

@wizzwizz4 what do pointers have to do with numerical lists???

@Downgoat If the architecture has a built-in two-int list and your compiler noticed that [2, 1] was a constant, you could invoke undefined behaviour which, if [1, 0] was stored before [2, 1], would make [2, 1] - 1 = [1, 0].

or your programming language vectorizes subtraction.

But now I see that you actually meant map([2, 1], decrement).

also:

yeah that was my thought @HyperNeutrino

@wizzwizz4 no, I'm saying that is a counter example to his conjecture is what I am saying

[2, 1] -> [-1] -> constant

@HyperNeutrino Doesn't [2, 1] -> [1]?

@wizzwizz4 1 > -1

@clap You also thought also:?

I'm confused.

sure

Wait which conjecture are you discussing

in all seriousness I was talking about vectorized subtraction

anyway gtg o/

@ASCII-only ok so we could have like 'optimization' warning messages that give tip on how to optimize

Q: Should I submit a new answer for the Jelly tips page with my user friendly and optimised string compressor, or should I just comment on the existing non-optimal one?

but problem is we have to know if something is 'optimizable' or just desired behavior

so I think we should have threshold in terms of possible non-optimizable states/total predicate states

@cairdcoinheringaahing whatever you wish. Since you have put a lot of effort into it, nobody will mind if you post your own answer

And o_O i didn't leave because I don't find my notebook

@Mr.Xcoder Although (playing devil's advocate here), a lot of it is taken/based off Lynn's compressor and Dennis' decompressor, so it's not 100% mine

@cairdcoinheringaahing if You are reluctant about it then just comment

@cairdcoinheringaahing And? Just credit them. You still put a lot of work into yours.

Just because it was based on theirs, doesn't mean it isn't an improvement over them.

Hahaha, despite being the lowest voted question on the site, this never came up in the Low Quality Posts review

@wizzwizz4 Yeah, there is that

@cairdcoinheringaahing LQP is for auto- and manually- flagged.

@wizzwizz4 Yeah, but the irony still exists

@cairdcoinheringaahing the first statement is false

@Mr.Xcoder Huh, I thought that was at -22. Well, I'm still able to vote on the first question evil grin

I wrote a program with a bug... If anyone asks, North means Down.

@wizzwizz4 Kanye and Kim might object to that :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing Who are they?

I haven't seen Kanye or Kim here before.

They're not in the room.

@wizzwizz4 Kim and Kanye

> Kardashian gave birth to her first child with West, daughter North West,

@cairdcoinheringaahing Should I know about a singer and a whatever-Kim-Kardashian-does?

Yes.

@wizzwizz4 Maybe a singer, hopefully not any Kardashians

And the word you're looking for is "media hound"

@Scrooble Why?

@cairdcoinheringaahing That sounds mean.

Is it a technical term?

If so, which field?

@cairdcoinheringaahing I can't wait for the daughter's autobiography

@wizzwizz4 Trust me, its the nicest thing I could think of. I greatly dislike the Kardashians and that style of fame

I assume she's just going to call it "West"

(by North West)

@wizzwizz4 Unfortunately, it is near-impossible to escape news of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, at least in the US.

@Neil It gets worse, they named their second child "Saint"

The only thing I know about the Kardashians is that they exist.

@HyperNeutrino Lucky.

@HyperNeutrino That's all they want you to know :P

...

@Scrooble Just don't read tabloids or have friends or watch Fox News.

is that a bad thing about them

@wizzwizz4 I try (especially the friends bit), but It's hard to avoid overhearing conversations at school.

I knew about North West but only in a "Did you know that somebody named their child North West? Isn't that such a mean thing to do to a child who's going to go through an education system with human children?" sort of way.

@Scrooble Not having friends helps hugely with that.

You can read and not talk to people.

haha my friends are mostly all anti-social introverts lol

@wizzwizz4 Essentially what I do.

Although you have to have acquaintances or you'll probably be teased for having no friends.

Haha, I'm reading a new page about Kim and found the quote Thoughtful: Khloe, left, and Kourtney, right, say they are worried about Kim. Judging from what I've seen of the Kardashians, I don;t think "thoughtful" can be used to describe them :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing ... Who would name three of their children KK, KK and KK?

@wizzwizz4 wait if you zip their initials...

@HyperNeutrino No.

:p

That's it. No more talk about "celebrities".

@wizzwizz4 Well, their mother Kris Kardashian had some say

That was bad timing :P

anyway gtg o/

We'll move onto etymology.

Bye.

Where did the word "Etymology" originate?

For example, why "celebrities"? Should they be "celebrated"?

@cairdcoinheringaahing I know that the suffix means "study".

@wizzwizz4 They used to be, and some still are

The first bit, "ento", means insect.

@wizzwizz4 Etymology

I can't resist...

@cairdcoinheringaahing No, I want _Ento_mology man. I'm currently having giant insect problems.

Ninja'd.

@wizzwizz4 Ninja'd

@cairdcoinheringaahing Ninja ninja'd.

@cairdcoinheringaahing Not everyone is ELIZA.

@wizzwizz4 Wow Retrocomputing seems quiet

@cairdcoinheringaahing It has so few users that the activity seems to sync up.

People only us therwise it's borigneople use the site because otherwise it's boring.

People only use the site when other people use the site because otherwise it's boring.

What happened?

@wizzwizz4 Magic :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing My answer would be "Windows 10", because I'm starting to get used to stuff like that.

I jumped to a random xkcd and found one that seems kinda on-topic given what you two are discussing now: xkcd.com/347

@Scrooble s/brick wall/Windows 10 and it's perfect :P

Gtg, need to defragment my neural network.

Huh. That's weird. I was just in the moderation tools, checking delete votes, and every challenge deleted by users (not Community) has exactly 1 undelete vote
