idk why they waited until I made so much progress to delete, thus disturbing both me and like every active PPCG user
 
@HelkaHomba Help, Wardoq!: Quine, H
 
You should contact them. They might have done a soft delete, and even if they might not be allowed to restore your account, they might be able to at least preserve a few things like votes and all
 
H9Q+, Que, H
 
@Phoenix are H an valid inglish word?
 
@Zizouz212 I did already; I'm hoping they could at least merge into this one
 
12:01 AM
@ATaco HQ9+ is not a language
 
It is, it's just not Turing Complete.
 
@HelkaHomba Ruby: print'a' $><<'hi'
 
@ATaco No it isn't.
 
That's good. Hopefully they'll be able to do something :)
 
@Mendeleev Not short as possible
 
12:01 AM
These restrictions are arbitrary and boring.
 
30 secs ago, by ATaco
It is, it's just not Turing Complete.
 
@ATaco It is strictly not a language.
 
@ATaco hello world is not a single english word
 
Our definition for programming languages specifically mentions HQ9+
@HelkaHomba good point
 
That's a much better point.
 
12:02 AM
@Zizouz212 Yeah, I hope so. I don't know, they know I'm more than 13 years old already so it's either a mistake or there's something going on, but either way I'd like to know at least why they'd do that.
 
Julia REPL, "hi", ?
 
Me wants to write Being Canadian makes me oppressed because I have to act polite!
 
Besides, Help, Wardoq! is a superset of HQ9+, and it does count.
 
@HyperNeutrino It could be legal, or it could be a mistake. I don't know
 
12:03 AM
Are we allowed to print things other than the word?
EG, {Hello}?
 
Although if it was because of age, then I think they normally send an email explaining why with it
 
@ATaco a trailing newline is ok but generally no
 
@Zizouz212 they did
 
Aah. Probably good to follow up
 
> Per our terms of service and US regulations, we're unable to store personally identifying information belonging to minors under the age of 13. I regret that I must delete your account and information and welcome you to return to the site once you have reached the age of 13.
 
12:05 AM
import sys;sys.stdin.write('go') and print 'the'
 
Yeah makes sense.
 
Does that work?
 
> once you have reached the age of 13
 
@totallyhuman Not shortest possible
 
That is an annoying restriction, as stated, it's non-observable.
 
12:06 AM
Huh?
 
It's required to be the shortest possible code to print the two words
 
A seed program may be length a which outputs Hello, but there may also exist as seed program b where b < a which also outputs Hello, but there is no way that one can reasonably determine if b exists or not.
 
print 'Yelp!', and print'Yelp'*2
 
As such, the restriction of "Shortest possible" is arbitrary, and unobservable.
 
12:07 AM
Arrrrrr those are the same length
 
Hm. My account was deleted through SO, as expected.
The email was sent from the SO team, not the SE team.
 
This is one of the reasons rarely works.
 
@HyperNeutrino lol they are the same thing :)
 
@Zizouz212 oh right SE was created from an expansion from SO right
or something like that
 
@ATaco Shortest possible as far as you can reasonably know. e.g. there is probably not a shorter python program to output dog than print("dog"), agreed?
 
12:09 AM
but I'm sure it was the SO account that triggered deletion
 
Yep. Community Managers are the same across all the sites, and the company is called Stack Overflow
 
ah ok
 
@Zizouz212 I'm not sure. they do have dedicated app, staff and stuff for SO
 
vim:
:h ril<cr>17_yeZZp (15 bytes, outputs "Bidirectionality")
iacclimatization   (16 bytes, outputs "acclimatization")
 
@HelkaHomba Arbitrary! There may exist a package that we're not sure about which instantly outputs "dog", so one could theoretically import d
 
12:09 AM
(@DJMcMayhem ^ I have a feeling you might enjoy that one. :) )
 
Oh no, the company is called "Stack Overflow", so that's what everyone calls themselves: e.g. Stack Overflow Team
 
@ATaco assume you only have standard library
 
import antigravity!
or import this
 
@Doorknob Is that a CMC?
 
@DJMcMayhem Yeah, this one
 
12:11 AM
That was rather aggressive of me, I'm sorry.
 
import this and `print 'Mua ha ha ha ha!'
 
@Doorknob but second word is not longer?
 
@Doorknob Ooooh, that's a cool one
 
Or even, import this and __import__('this')
 
@HelkaHomba Whoops, I swapped the order. The bottom one should be on top.
 
12:13 AM
Could someone check if this challenge makes sense?: codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/13016/36759
 
@CensoredUsername I think its dupe.
 
@Doorknob I had a challenge in Sandbox on my other account; can I post it from this account? I can "ask for permission" but even then I wouldn't be able to prove it. What should I do in this case?
 
@Doorknob It's actually nvim-specific, but works in vim if you replace the 17 with a 23
@HyperNeutrino Going by common sense I'd say you're fine. :)
 
Okay. thanks :)
 
12:14 AM
@Uriel: sure? I couldn't find anything specifically like it
 
@HyperNeutrino I don't think any active user is unaware of your incident, because it's pretty much their incident.
 
I have an idea brb downloading wordlist
 
@ASCII-only /usr/share/dict/words
 
sigh I really should be studying for my French exam
 
You said you're in 12th grade
Why would you care
 
12:16 AM
@Phoenix :( don't have it on WSL
 
Here in Aus, your 12th grade results matter quite a lot.
 
@Zizouz212 just use cursive font in the test.
 
Oh god xD
 
@ASCII-only It's a package
 
@Phoenix They matter a lot here actually
 
12:18 AM
@ASCII-only sudo apt install wamerican
 
Does that work on Fedora? dnf install wamerican?
 
@ATaco dnf install words
 
Neat.
 
@Uriel Ah, that is very true.
 
(On Ubuntu, the file is /usr/share/dict/american, not /usr/share/dict/words)
 
12:20 AM
Interesting Fact: If you click the first link of any Wikipedia article continuously, there is a good chance you will get to the "Philosophy" article
Except for that has a low chance
 
@Phoenix * ai wamerican
 
@Zizouz212 after <number of values + 1> clicks?
 
It changes, but you can probably find it after around 7-8 clicks in most cases
I don't know... My friend showed me this
 
CMC: Find the Wikipedia page that takes the most clicks of the first non-disambiguation link to get to the Philosophy page.

fact, experience and knowledge are in an inifinite loop!
and a lot of things lead there!
 
That Flip Rows and Columns challenge is annoyingly restrictive about its IO.
 
@HyperNeutrino I find it sorta odd that you commented on an answer directly below a question I had without responding to the question lol
 
1:04 AM
@notjagan ?
 
@HyperNeutrino on your most recent challenge
 
Sorry, did I miss a comment?
 
@HyperNeutrino I asked whether a list of lines would be acceptable rather than joining on newlines
 
Oh. I'm going to say no; since it's an ascii-art challenge, I think it should be ascii-art as I specify, but if there's a community concensus otherwise, I'd be happy to change it.
 
Ah, fair enough. I figured as much from the challenge, but I just wanted to make sure since it would shorten a Python function for it.
 
1:08 AM
Ah, okay.
yay I can downvote people now
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
I don't know if this is bad, but I feel slightly more inclined to upvote your submissions than others after your account deletion.
 
@notjagan That's probably normal; I was slightly more inclined to upvoting SIGSEGV after finding out he got age-restricted. However, I would recommend balancing it out to avoid serial voting reports. Also note that I probably have like about 4 posts so you could at most give me 30 rep :P But I mean, it's normal and probably not bad on your part but idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@Adám How did you take a screenshot of i.imgur.com/L1FA44H.png ?
 
@HelkaHomba very carefully ;)
 
it's like 3 times taller than my monitor
 
1:14 AM
Can't you just right-click the image and click "save-as"?
 
on webgraphviz it's not an image
 
Oh ??? then idk
interesting
 
could be multiple shots stitched together I guess
 
that's some nice stiching then
but that's a possibility
 
Print -> Save as PDF?
 
1:20 AM
@HelkaHomba Woefully is very lonely ;_;
I need to make a language inspired by woefully and some other things
 
@HelkaHomba You inspect element to get an svg
Or use the desktop Graphviz
 
actually I think woefully might have been very loosely based off of jelly fish
but only in the fact that it is 2d and not a funge
 
@HyperNeutrino are you here I have some questions about your challenge
 
@ATaco why does this exist
 
Welcome to the internet? Everything exists for no particularly good reason?
 
1:29 AM
I think I might write a "concisified" woefully lang
it will be called:
sadly
and there will be some other language influences in there to tie the graph together
I can't find an esolang page for loopy. or a repo because it's got a popular name
 
and it isn't on TIO
Check the revision history to see who added it and ping them.
 
CMC: compress this number in JS: 1497916800
 
what other language should my woefully derivative derive from?
maybe it will be brainflak derived
because brainflak is cool
also where is changeling
o it is on the shapescript repo
 
1:46 AM
@DestructibleLemon cheddar
 
nah. I've decided on brainflak, except that I want to tie some more threads to the main graph tree
 
can we cloes the transpose as a dupe of:

Q: Transpose a 3x3 matrix across the anti-diagonal

Mukul KumarWrite a program which takes a 3x3 matrix on stdin and prints its transpose along the anti-diagonal to stdout. You may assume that all elements of the matrix will be integers. Columns are space-separated and rows are newline-separated. Example Input: 1 2 3 3 4 5 1 2 3 Output: 3 5 3 2 4 2 1 3...

I mean it's that + a rotate
 
@Downgoat Go ahead, though I'll be gone soon
 
@HyperNeutrino do we need to output 0 if no rep change or can we have undefine behavior
I want to close as dupe but I have hammer so will be binding
 
why is it dupe?
@Downgoat And finally, should I have had no voting on that user (in the past 60 days), your program should return 0.
 
1:54 AM
:|
 
didn't V inspire charcoal? @ASCII-only
 
that's the second question that was already specified lol don't feel too bad
 
@HyperNeutrino because this challenge if f(a) and that challenge if rev + f + rev
 
@Downgoat wait hold on you're talking about the zip challenge?
 
yea
 
1:55 AM
oh
I thought you were talking about one of mine lol
fml
anyway rip I gtg now. o/
 
@DestructibleLemon Uh no?
 
how should separate areas of code be separated in my lang?
@ASCII-only not at all? I mean you know, it's an ascii art lang
like V!
 
@DJMcMayhem Wait what V has verbose mode now
 
V's had verbose for almost as long as V's been out
 
also I need help deciding on commands for sadflak (is that a good name?)
 
1:59 AM
@DestructibleLemon in ASCII art languages, formfeed is probably the golfiest of the common separators
although most editors will display it badly, and double newline is only slightly longer
 
@ATaco pls example
 
because multiplication and bool in woefully are the main part of tcness
 
@ais523 formfeed?
 
separating via a continuous line of whitespace is prettiest but actually fairly inefficient byte-wise
 
I meant deciding between these:
 
2:00 AM
@ASCII-only you know what a linefeed is, right? a formfeed's like that but a bit more dramatic
 
some numbers, newlines, some pipes
 
@DestructibleLemon woah v is really old
 
originally, if you printed it on a printer, it'd eject the entire page then start again on the next
most modern editors/languages don't treat it specially, though, or incorrectly treat it as horizontal whitespace
which is a pity because it used to be really widely used
I've seen programs which put formfeed characters between functions so that they'd all print on different pages
 
@ASCII-only Yep!
 
when I say different areas. In woefully, the rivers are separated, by a certain number of lines. in this, I'm going to separate the parts, but it isn't separated by ascii art position because this is de-ascii-art-ified
 
2:02 AM
@ATaco No, it's a recent development
@DestructibleLemon Sounds interesting. What's sadflak?
 
does woefully have any relation to actually/seriously other than the name?
 
@DJMcMayhem brainflak + reduced woefully
control flow will be from woefully, but the lines will be brainflak style
 
@DJMcMayhem pls give an example
@DJMcMayhem also i didn't know V was so old haha
 
hmm, I guess I should separate lines by newlines, but at the same time that would be really long for some programs...
maybe I will just use numbers on their own line
(long to the point of cumbersome)
what I have so far:
() = 1
<> = push to b
[] = bool pop
{} = pop probably
(...) = push to stack
<...> = eval but return 0
[...] = minus this
{...} = multiplication
actually that misses the most important command lol
I think I will need to get more brackets
maybe I will make a new code page
recommended unicode brackets?
 
@DestructibleLemon Charcoal's
 
2:14 AM
post in chat pls

@DJMcMayhem I could have sworn it's had something like a verbose mode for a long time.

Yeah just use that and save money.
 
@HyperNeutrino Don't think so :(
 
aw :(
 
@Phoenix O_o
 
2:22 AM
Fun fact; compose + ( + ( gives [
I don't even know why
 
@HyperNeutrino Because some keyboards don't have [?
 
@ASCII-only maybe.
 
@Downgoat idk what that O_o is pointing at, I'm on the old mobile chat.
 
I am thinking of getting this monitor but surely there is cheaper alternative
 
2:23 AM
oh great I need to memorize my new user ID
 
There is
It's called not getting a new monitor
 
@HyperNeutrino you memorise ids?
