The Nineteenth Byte

@Mendeleev You were kicked for an entirely off topic irrelevant image, not for asking not to be kicked (which has no reducing effect on previous messages)

Mendeleev

10:46 PM

@trichoplax OK, makes sense

I've seen irrelevant images posted (and starred) here a lot

trichoplax

We're not looking to suspend anyone. It's a last resort

Zachary T

And ban is fοr ... hοrrible ρeοple, I assume?

trichoplax

@Mendeleev You're right, and we're working to reduce that. We don't spot every one but I remove particularly irrelevant images and cancel stars where I can

Mendeleev

ok

@ZacharyT Ban == suspension

Zachary T

οh, just a life-lοng duratiοn?

Mendeleev

10:48 PM

Yup

Stephen S

@ZacharyT akaik you don't get banned on se

trichoplax

@ZacharyT Ban is not a separate thing from suspend. Suspensions are for unacceptable behaviours. People are all welcome, regardless of whether they have been previously suspended

Mendeleev

Although there's no guarantees that even the Stack Exchange Network will last that long

though I hope it does

Stephen S

@Mendeleev archive.org

Zachary T

If it does, then a bot could get banned and "live" tο tell the tale.

Mendeleev

10:50 PM

@StephenS there's no guarantees that even archive.org will last that long

Stephen S

@Mendeleev If the Internet's still around, these sites will be, barring worldwide natural disasters

Zachary T

Heck, English language might not last that long.

Stephen S

You guys are pessimistic

Zachary T

Yοu're tοο οpimistic.

Stephen S

What's going to happen, another Tower of Babel or something?

Zachary T

10:52 PM

No, just extinction of English language.

Due to spread of others.

Stephen S

Latin's still around, and I think English is much more prevalent now than Latin ever was

Zachary T

English has done it to a few, so who's to say one can't do it to English.

Stephen S

It's too big, it might die but it won't go extinct

Zachary T

It'll become the next Latin.

Stephen S

We have recordings now, so cryptoanalyists could always analyze them

@ZacharyT Then it's dead, not extinct :P

Zachary T

10:54 PM

Sorry, misterminology

Uriel

@ZacharyT well, if you are talking about your life time, you will have to be the last english speaker to make it happen

you can cryogenically freeze yourself

Zachary T

Nah, rather just have my brain made into software.

Uriel

how do you know the hardware it runs on wont be destroyed?

Zachary T

How do you know your cryogenically frozen body won't be destroyed

Stephen S

@Uriel If you're on the web, and the web spread across the world like blueprints are imaging, the whole net would have to go down :P

@ZacharyT Because you buried it inside a pyramid... oh wait

Zachary T

10:57 PM

That a plot to a movie or something?

trichoplax

I feel TNB needs one of these

Stephen S

@ZacharyT That's kinda the plot to ancient Egypt

DJMcMayhem

@trichoplax I love the title text on that

Stephen S

@trichoplax All that'll do it fill people with the desire to link to obligatory xkcds

Zachary T

^

trichoplax

10:59 PM

@StephenS I'd find that less depressing...

Uriel

@StephenS well, it might go down if it would be restructured in the future

Stephen S

@trichoplax xD

Uriel

as a part of some intergalactic communication system

@trichoplax Obligatory XKCD: Positive Attitude

trichoplax

Is it obligatory to post the horrifically low quality 3d version?

HyperNeutrino

11:03 PM

Obligatory non-trash XKCD

trichoplax

Considerably more readable

Destructible Lemon

@Uriel cryonically*

and also it isn't freezing

Mendeleev

Something's wrong here

trichoplax

Do they have an issue tracker?

Got to love it when Linux decides to randomly drop to 0%!

Mendeleev

@trichoplax I don't know

@ZacharyT Please elaborate

ATaco

CSS is basically the worst thing to happen to the modern internet. But I couldn't think of a better way to do it.

Zachary T

My plug wasn't in for like 5 minutes, then the battery percentage just dropped to 0.

JSSS was a thing.

ATaco

I've got SCSS on a-ta.co

But, it's not much of an improvement.

Mendeleev

@ATaco Why?

Destructible Lemon

11:10 PM

@ATaco hi

how is the bobby going?

Mendeleev

@ATaco Any way to disable the parentheses auto completion? Which userscript is it in?

Destructible Lemon

it is at your work at the moment? I was kind of disappointed I couldn't work on anything yesterday

ATaco

@Mendeleev AutoFormatter, I don't use it myself.

Mendeleev

OK, thanks

I just installed all of them]

ATaco

@DestructibleLemon Well now it's in my hands, and I've not yet continued on it.

Destructible Lemon

11:11 PM

cool

well... can you put the current thing on github mebbe?

ATaco

@Mendeleev Lack of cross-browser consistency, low quality syntax and difficult positioning in a project designed around design.

Mendeleev

@ATaco The consistency is on the browser devs, not the standard. The syntax issue is debatable. Positioning is easy with flexbox.

Q: Short Date into English Long Date

Convert short date format into English long date in as few bytes as possible. Input Input will be in the form of a string with format, yyyy-mm-dd, with zero padding optional for all values. You can assume that this is syntactically correct, but not necessarily a valid date. Negative year values...

I don't understand why we're so worried about thinking that PPCG has become a nasty site

I've found that SO is extremely hostile

HyperNeutrino

That's why we're concerned. We don't want to follow their hostility.

Mendeleev

IMO PPCG is one of the best sites

ATaco

TNB isn't that bad.

We're just, a bit loud and careless.

Mendeleev

TNB is a community of awesome people who do bad things sometimes

HyperNeutrino

I think we have the strongest sense of community of all SE sites (maybe also along with Puzzling.SE) partly because we're not a Q+A site, we write challenges and solve them and have fun on this site. Q+A sites don't have as much fun as us :D

Mendeleev

completely irrelevant funny thing I found in a game called dig or die

Beta Decay

PPCG is the party site of SE

PPCG aka Ibiza

Star bait
