The Nineteenth Byte

So I was making a chatbot in Ruby for SE chat, and I discovered that I could find out the starrer of a message. I'm pretty sure stars, like votes, are supposed to be anonymous. Although this knowledge would help for cases of star trolls like this. Here's the specific slice of code that do...

MD XF

@Poke Yep :)

caird coinheringaahing

got there eventually

CMC: output my username in the shortest code possible

MD XF

@cairdcoinheringaahing echo boring? (just kidding)

caird coinheringaahing

9:28 PM

@MDXF 4 bytes for you: print('MD XF')

MD XF

@cairdcoinheringaahing That's not 4 bytes

totallyhuman

Text, 22 bytes: caird coinheringaahing

caird coinheringaahing

@MDXF i play by my own rules

user165474

I just realized that the fifth line in my answer is completely useless because I first remove all newlines and then split on newlines... I may or may not have written that code at too late at night... :P

user165474

I don't actually know if I ever use that variable...

totallyhuman

9:30 PM

holy mother of god

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino You've got a lot of unnecessary spaces

totallyhuman

where'd you find the time for that

caird coinheringaahing

uh huh

MD XF

@totallyhuman If you think that took a long time...

user165474

@totallyhuman er... I may be slightly behind on homework... heh

user165474

9:31 PM

@MDXF wtf. literally wtf

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino computing homework?

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino And this is why you banned yourself :P

user165474

Yes.

user165474

:P

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino I thought about bountying +500

But then I remembered, I'm selfish about my rep :P

So I golfed a couple hundred bytes off instead

caird coinheringaahing

9:32 PM

@MDXF I feel the same way

user165474

Well I mean all you have to do is write another one of those repbait answers and cap like 10 times (binary ;P)

caird coinheringaahing

I've ony downvoted 2 things on this site

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino Gee, thanks ;P

user165474

@MDXF I do?

MD XF

@cairdcoinheringaahing I DV questions all the time

but only answers if they're total trash

caird coinheringaahing

9:33 PM

(answers) I've downvoted questions

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino I think so? I mean, you've got newlines at all and you've got spaces at the start of lines

user165474

I've DV'd a bunch of questions, but not many answers. I'm not too selfish about my rep (not enough to care about the -1 rep) but I really want my rep to be a multiple of 5. I'm tempted to seek out a terrible answer to downvote because I'm at a multiple of 5 +1 rep right now :P

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino Hahaha

user165474

@MDXF It's called indentation...

user165474

Wait

MD XF

9:34 PM

@HyperNeutrino It's code-golf, right?

user165474

I can use semicolons

user165474

I thought I needed those

user165474

Excuse my stupidity as I go fix that.

MD XF

:P

@Phoenix Did you really?

caird coinheringaahing

9:35 PM

@HyperNeutrino I'm on 1605 and never downvoting or accepting until I get off of a x5

user165474

xD

MD XF

Needs more tags, rules, and a catchier title

totallyhuman

huh i out-golfed ovs and then xnor out-golfed me

Oh :P

Riker

no

DJMcMayhem

Probably not

Riker

MD XF

@DJMcMayhem Could you move all our deleted messages to trash?

DJMcMayhem

@programmer5000 You think that's weird? Try this

well-known revision 38?

@programmer5000 100% accident. I even put a comment on why

@ASCII-only can you make negative integers have own type in tokenizer call NegativeInteger?

Christopher

mods please don't kill me

Conor O'Brien

that's not something you should be proud of nor state willingly >_>

@Downgoat idk what you're doing, but wouldn't it be easier to just develop a isNumberTokenNegative function for numeric tokens? negative integer tokens seem a little extreme

Downgoat

@ConorO'Brien Well only non-negative numbers can be candidates for unsigned types

Conor O'Brien

ah

Christopher

@ConorO'Brien Not proud but well yeah.

@Dennis uhh can you 11 the number on my serial voting boundaries?

I realized that was a bad idea to mention

Q: Multiply two strings

This was inspired by a function I recently added to my language Add++. Therefore I will submit an (very) short answer in Add++ but I won't accept it (it wouldn't be fair) Don't you hate it when you can multiply numbers but not strings? So you should correct that, right? You are to write a func...
