10:00 PM
lol I was being non-serious there...
 
@HyperNeutrino Water cooling on your very first build project != good idea
 
halp look exactly the same
 
lol accidentally short-circuits entire computer
 
@Phoenix it's not watercooled. Some sort of passive heat tubes but no pump/fans
 
Mine's silent - it only has passive cooling so no water pump, just a lot of heatsink - yes like Helka just said
 
10:01 PM
@Downgoat The one one the left and right are the same card for reasons. The one in the middle is a blower style.
 
@HyperNeutrino hey any progress on your actual account?
 
which one make least noise?
 
Blower
 
@totallyhuman 89 rep now
+28 from earlier with the 51
*+38
*94 *+33 **+43
yay almost 100
anyway, gtg now. bye! o/
 
Quick question about rules, like this one:

Q: Output the text "Code Bowling"

Albert RenshawCode-Bowling You've been hired by Brunswick Bowling to create a simple program to output the text Code Bowling on their monitors. This company is worth a pretty penny and you feel you can swindle them for quite the bit of cash. The job description clearly states that they pay on a scoring basi...

 
10:03 PM
@Downgoat Note that noise is relative. My pc fans are a few feet away from my mic when recording videos but things like the mouse and keyboard are far more audible in the final recording
 
Specifically, the rule: "Naturally, a subset of the program should not be able complete the task on its own without the rest of the program."
 
Quesiton: what does it mean when a case has 'VR' support
 
That there's room inside for your head?
 
@Downgoat It has a thunderbolt port
 
:O
 
10:04 PM
Actually IDK if VR necessarily mean thunderbolt
 
That means something like this: PRINT LEFT('Code BowlingXXX',12) is invalid because it can, via the strategic removal of certain characters, be reduced to `PRINT 'Code Bowling' ?
 
Whichever video standard VR uses, that case has a port for.
 
@BradC only one character can removed at a time I think
 
@Downgoat Are you building a Hackintosh?
 
yes
 
10:06 PM
Good luck
 
@totallyhuman Ok, so if the removal of any single character removal breaks it, then I'm ok?
 
@quartata :| why do I need luck
 
@Downgoat for saying that again you get kittened: youtu.be/FFwbII94meY
 
(that's a bad example, removing any X doesn't break it)
 
@Downgoat Because it's hard and I hope it goes well?
 
10:07 PM
@HelkaHomba aaaaahahhhhh cats
 
I'd like to know how it went when/if you get it working
 
@quartata oh >_< thanks :)
 
he's also doing windows
 
Are you using Chameleon?
I'm told that's the best boot loader for it nowadays
 
planning on using Clover, tonymacx86 says Clover is new fancy one

Q: Must answers be given as SOURCE code, or is machine code acceptable?

nitro2k01It's been my understanding that answers in code golf competitions should generally be given as source code. But lately I've seen a few answers specified as x86 assembly, counting the size as the number of bytes in the compiled binary blob. For example this answer. Firstly, it seems like this way...

 
Oh OK. Last time I tried this was a long ass time ago so
 
@HelkaHomba I am glad that exists
 
@HyperNeutrino 250 now, this is getting ridiculous...
 
I am in awe at how a top-of-line PC cost less than a baseline MacBook ._.
 
@Downgoat Look up the Gigabyte Aero 14. it's a good laptop for 1200-1400 that beats the pants off of any macbook in price vs performance
@quartata Nope. Clover.
I have a Hackintosh laptop that my sister uses
 
10:16 PM
Jun 6 at 23:55, by Phoenix
No one on earth would find that remotly surprising.
 
Jim
Anything beats macbooks in terms of price vs perfs. No?
 
Very much so.
 
2 macbooks
 
@Jim Mac Pro
Did you guys see the OP5 annoucement?
 
As far as performance/price goes, nothing can beat an apple product.
 
10:34 PM
doesn't everything beat apple product wat
 
performance/price
not price/performance
That was the joke
 
@Downgoat Why are you asking me?
@Phoenix You got it backwards
Having a high performance/price ratio would be good.
 
> As far as performance/price goes, nothing can beat an apple product.
O yeah, I did.
oops
 
@Mendeleev :|
has anyone here use OutletPC before
 
@Downgoat |:
downgoat more like updonkey O_o
Today was my last day of school, I can finally relax PPCG 24/7
And WatOS. Don't forget WatOS
 
10:47 PM
Question: is 7th gen intel CPU worth it. It cost more and also may not have hackintosh compatible
 
not that much of an improvement honestly, you just get more DRM (always bad), newer uarch and higher temps
 
oh, ok, also don't want to have to use windows so I guess no Kaby Lake
Question: what is Micro ATX and ATX
 
@Downgoat motherboard sizes, called form factors
ATX is most standard
 
Should I buy a Google Home?
@HelkaHomba uatx is much much cheaper
 
@Mendeleev lol I mean everytime I go to friends house who has alexa first thing is "Alexa, order condoms"
 
10:54 PM
This is google home not alexa so that wouldn't work
That reminds me
 
> OK google, text mom do you have the weed
 
I once went to someone's house who had alexa
I ordered 99 pillows
They came
They were returned
@Downgoat There's voice locking
I'm sure that you sound different from me
 
i mean surely you have google home set to work with your pet goat you obviously should haev
 
Should I post a picture of the goats that live about half a mile from me
 
YES
 
10:57 PM
actually
Not right now
But later
 
ok change build not going to bork into bork overdrive right?: pcpartpicker.com/list/pRqCWX
 
@Downgoat read this
 
Could anyone give me some tips with this?

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

CensoredUsernameData exfiltration Frenzy in the frequency domain. Summary of the challenge You must find a way to broadcast a ten-character password through a lossy communication channel and recover the password on the other side. To achieve this you must write two programs. The first program will receive the...

 
11:01 PM
@Mendeleev don't reccomend oneboxing, pretty big gif
 
used the size restricted one now
 
That's still 12 MB. Too much.

Q: What happened to the memes page?

caird coinheringaahingI was just browsing the Many Memes of Meta when the question was edited in to add, next to the PPCG entry: and recently deleted Not believing this, I clicked on the link, only to find out that it had. Why? Why was the post deleted? While it wasn't the best fit for a Meta question, it was ...

 
I think that worked
 
O_o Dennis deleted the memes page
 
11:08 PM
Folks have memes around here?
 
@Zizouz212 -_- [disapproving face inserted]
 
:D
 
and also referring to downgoat as an actual goat
 
Nobody knows you're a goat on the internet
 
no I am not starring that. I'm hoping everyone else has the temperance not to star it either
5
 
11:11 PM
Why would you star it?
Stars aren't useful anyway
Stars are the equivalent of tears for you golfers
 
because it looks like that was a bad piece of starbait
@Zizouz212 u wot
 
If a golfer is on the verge of tearing, they star it
 
legitimate question because I don't know
@Zizouz212 this was not a very good clarification
 
Wait, what don't you get?
 
@DestructibleLemon ._.
 
11:13 PM
Lol
sigh It's unusually quiet here
 
It really is
 
I'm pretty sure TNB is the most active chat on SE.
 
yup
 
At least was
 
It's exam time for most of us. Ugh -_-
 
11:20 PM
AU and JS are pretty sctive too
@Zizouz212 99% of US schools have finished exams
so have austrlia
 
I'm just out of school
School year ended today
 
Oh really?
Canadians are doing exams right now
 
Australians are still on the tail end of exams.
 
I had a lan party where I played CS:Source with some of my friends
because
 
@Mendeleev Mine ends fridays
 
11:21 PM
it was bsically a free day everything was already finished
 
I have finals tommorow and thursday
 
@Phoenix Cool
 
I've got two more exams at the end of the week
And then I'm done for good!
 
gg
 
I'm working. I'm at work right now. Stay in school as long as possible.
 
11:24 PM
But you don't get paid for school.
 
I'd prefer to be broke and still in school.
 
ono someone put superglue in my fidget spinner :O
how to remove?
 
Hot water.
 
that just hardens it
 
Or Acetone if you have it.
 
11:26 PM
@Mendeleev throw fidget spinner in sheep :P
 
My mom has nail polish remover
> yhtoe
Hooves?
 
That's basically acetone, it'll do the trick.
 
@Mendeleev You don't
 
@ATaco Problem is this is made of ABS
so it will dissolve
 
Dilute it to about 3:10, apply whilst forcing the spinner, quickly wash off.
 
11:27 PM
OK will try
Problem is
It's in the bearing balls
 
I'm assuming you don't have enough to pour it over it.
 
I have a 4oz bottle
But I don't want to melt it
 
does superglue burn
 
Ehh they're like $4, I'll just order a new one
 
Your options are kinda thin here.
Might as well try.
 
11:29 PM
I just realized something
 
Superglue is specifically designed not to let two things detach by any force known to man.
 
now everyone knows how I voted on their posts whereas normally votes are anonymous
/disapprove
 
@HyperNeutrino how?
 
oh wait no tacoscripts on mobile
@HelkaHomba by checking how much rep they gain or lose
though they don't know which posts, just how much
 
@HyperNeutrino /o_o is golfier and easier to type
 
11:33 PM
I jsut got a 18 kill streak in CS:GO arms race O_o
 
@ATaco lol, I'm planning on staying for at least another 6 years
 
@Zizouz212 Wait. If ou get out of school in 12th grade, that puts you in 6th grade now.
 
@Phoenix does university count?
 
How are you a diamond mod
 
Haha, I'm graduating Grade 12 this year
 
11:36 PM
@HyperNeutrino O right, dur
 
Then I'm heading over to Carleton University :)
Actually, no. I'm officially graduating in like 8 days if I can do well on my exams :P
 
@Zizouz212 good luck! :D
 
@Phoenix Modraters are just monkeys with guns in their hands
 
> Modraters
 
But really, I think they just made me a mod because I complain too much
 
11:37 PM
so you're talking about people who rate mods, not mods themselves?
 
Right, you lot haven't had an election yet
 
Ran for the Law election, placed 4th
But recently, I've barely been able to put a lot of time.
 
lol I was planning on eventually submitting an entry into the PPCG mod election (just for fun and to get some feedback on how I can improve) but so much for that now ಠ_ಠ
 
Which is good, cause Open Source literally needs like 10 minutes a week
 
and then there's SO which is under constant spam threat
'SO' == 'OS'[::-1] :o
 
11:39 PM
lol I have no clue how those folks manage
How many questions do they get? Maybe 7-8000?
We get... Maybe 3 on a good day :P
 
lol I think you need like 10 or something to get out of beta
 
Yep. That's one of the main things. It's more complex than that - you need to have 10 quality questions without much for fluctuations, and a solid user base and so on
 
And if you don't get enough then the beta fails and they kill your site
 
They try and give public betas as much time as they need. They only kill private betas
 
I'm pretty sure CSE is safe.
 
11:44 PM
Unless a public beta has completely broken down and disappeared, it's basically a permanent site
 
It's had a better beta than we did.
 
CompSci educators?
 
Yeah.
 
We graduated long ago and still have no design >.<
 
Right, because we have other features we'd rather have first.
 
11:45 PM
They're getting to ya, there's a big backlog and they're trying to focus more on standardization for the time being :)
 
I'm not complaining; we don't need as much rep for priviledges this way :D
Which is especially helpful for me ಠ_ಠ
 
lol
 
anyway I should stop complaining about that
@Uriel have that already
 
@ATaco sigh I have a lot of reservations about that site
 
11:46 PM
looks nice
 
 
I'm actually kind of concerned we're popping up too many sites right now without any long-term plan sort of thing
 
Look at us in the background, chilling with our nemesis CR.
 
lol
> Software Quality Assurance
 
And whatever Quantitative Finance is
 
11:47 PM
what even is that
 
Music Practice & Theory is the odd one out there :P
 
and then there's PPCG which is like "it works but it takes a couple of hours, but it works so whatever we don't care"
 
What
 
@Zizouz212 why so?
 
@Zizouz212 its actually pretty legitimate
 
11:48 PM
"Just because it takes 3 Aeons doesn't mean it's not a solution"
 
Seriously, why was the memes page deleted
 
It's the only colourful one, and it's among a whole bunch of tech sites :P
 
It was bad enough that it was locked...
 
but there are stuff like cs educators that are half-so half-academy
 
@Zizouz212 Mi Yodeya is not a Tech site ಠ_ಠ
 
11:49 PM
But it's not as colourful
 
still
has color
 
@HyperNeutrino neither are christianity, buddhism or beers and wines
 
and not tech
@Uriel we were talking about the 12 in the photo :P
 
I'd think that PPCG is atleast as popular as CR, We deserve a design!
 
@totallyhuman ask the person who deleted it
 
11:50 PM
What is Mi Yodeya btw?
 
@HyperNeutrino oh, blank for me (vpn)
 
@HyperNeutrino Judaism SE
 
@Zizouz212 judaism
 
Aah
 
@Uriel ah. same for me at school ಠ_ಠ
 
11:51 PM
Oh that reminds me
Toronto District School Board had to block a whole bunch of things like netflix, snapchat, twitter and so on
 
I need to go back to using Gyazo.
It just works better.
 
@Zizouz212 Toronto Ontario?
 
Yep
 
ooo I think you're the SE user that lives closest to me AFAIK
 
Not because it was distracting students, but because it was used so much it took up all the bandwidth and brought down internet speeds a lot
 
11:52 PM
oh wow lol
 
Where about are you? (If you don't mind me asking)
 
(cc @Downgoat)
@Zizouz212 Waterloo
 
Aah
I used to live there :P
 
I see :P
 
11:54 PM
@Downgoat yeah why
 
@WheatWizard :o even DENNIS had negative rep change today :o
 
CMC: In the same language write two programs. One outputs an english word and is as short as possible. The other outputs a longer english word but the code is shorter than the first program.
 
@HyperNeutrino O_o what
 
@ASCII-only because he lost 125 rep from removed-user
 
I had a net of -105
 
11:56 PM
rip :I
 
print 'English'
print 'rip'
 
I had a net of -5800 or so
 
Lua, io.write("Pip") print("Honk")
 
@ATaco would print("Pip") not work?
 
@HyperNeutrino You lost that much?
 
11:57 PM
Short as possible
 
if so then it's not as short as possible
 
Python print('hello'[-1]), print('hello')
 
@Zizouz212 yep
 
@Uriel Not short as possible
 
That's... weird. Normally they preserve votes
 
11:58 PM
@Zizouz212 no it was my account lol
 
"As short as possible" is non-observable, -1.
 
Your account was deleted?
 
@Phoenix now?
 
@Zizouz212 age restrictions ಠ_ಠ fun fact: I turn 15 in under 2 weeks
 
You can write print('hell') which is shorter
 
11:58 PM
actually not quite
 
@HyperNeutrino nice
 
... You only need to be 13
 
@Zizouz212 exactly. but my SO account was created when I was 12 (no idea WHY they even let me create it in the first place given that I gave them my actual birthday)
 
Observable restrictions only please.
 
Aah
