@user56656 The fact that you've been able to do 200 reviews without finding the rules of NAA, does highlight that there's a problem somewhere (don't think that I'm saying the problem is you)

quartata

also frankly I find it a little insulting that you seem to think the reviewers here are doing it for points. on something like SO Triage it might be true but all of the dedicated reviewers on this site are active and thoughtful

look at the review page, look at the faces

Downsheep

@Ｕｎｉｃｏｄｅ-ｏｎｌｙ being an internet fish composed of various ascii symbols talking to a goat and a cow that acts like a duck

are you honestly going to write them off as that

@quartata no but I have some friends who do

@quartata martin is review hunter confirmed

Downsheep

@Ｕｎｉｃｏｄｅ-ｏｎｌｙ do you have time to help work on VSL STL have a lot of STL documentation and classes that still need to be written

when I say a lot I mean like everything except integerrs

I'm also not sure on how we want to do arrays

Do we want to do a capacity thing like Java?

also how should we be hashing strings for dictionaries

Ｕｎｉｃｏｄｅ-ｏｎｌｙ

@Downsheep maybe. but not rn (sorry)

Zacharý

ASCII is a subset of unicode... so ASCII-only must be Unicode-only...

How/when is RO transfership decided? I've heard it's the most active user, but how/when does SE decide who that is?

caird coinheringaahing

@Riker name-request Picard

@Zacharý Check the room info, it has the most active users, but they only get auto-RO'ed when there is no existing RO

Riker

@cairdcoinheringaahing ty couldn't find a good one

Christopher

@Downsheep dude like what happened. I leave a week and you become a trator sheep

cute pupper

fixed

and riker is now Picard

like wth happened

Zacharý

What determines when one is auto-RO'd?

Other than no existing RO's ?

Christopher

12:31 AM

activity

Picard

most active user after like 2 wks

user56656

I know that the polyglot chat had no RO for quite a while. We had to get a mod to appoint one.

Picard

chat.stackexchange.com/faq#automatic-owner

> If a reasonably active room has no owner, or none of the owners have been in the room for a certain time, a new owner may be automatically appointed, to ensure that there's somebody who can administrate.

quartata

@Picard refresh my profile or I'm uninstalling tf2

user56656

I think the key word must be "reasonably active"

perhaps polyglot room was not active enough to get one auto appointed

Picard

12:33 AM

@passata ...

nice one tho

passata

hello folks im new here and i just wanted to ask if anyone has ever made a brainfuck deriv-

Zacharý

It's my birthday/april 1st/easter. Get used to it for today.

Picard

@passata yes it's called bit.ly/defcon

passata

this is the only other one I could think of that ends in -ta

Zacharý

Who hasn't made a bf derivative.

passata

12:35 AM

passata-sotto

it's also kind of the opposite of in quartata

Picard

hey my suggestion was pretty good @passata

passata

since its vertical rather than horizontal

@Picard but it didn't rhyme

that's true

What is SO triage again? SO, Math, and what else? Was it superuser?

Esolanging Fruit

@passata I haven't made one; I've made an Underload derivative (Underload is clearly superior). Z is kinda similar, but it's more of a strange ASM with 2 registers

Picard

@passata ?

oh nvm

league is pretty fun but yeah it's pretty garbage

@passata want to play tos w/ me?

@passata Agreement exists to express a person's thoughts regarding statements wherein an individual has remarked upon a conclusion they have come to understand and the agreeing party shares the beliefs expressed by the second individual, antecedent intra-contradictions notwithstanding. Naturally, many consider impoliteness to be exampled when one attempts to divulge information in consideration of themselves, therefore it is a necessity to circumvent such usages.

Which is the BF one

passata

@Picard ok that's actually clever

Picard

passata

@feersum esolangs.org/wiki/Quantum_brainfuck

Essentially the two operations are Hadamard and CNOT

rest of the substitutions are just to make up for the fact that it's not all monadic anymore

Anonymous

@user202729 Easter is a holiday that was originally celebrated as a pagan holiday (vernal equinox), but in modern times is usually celebrated as a Christian holiday (resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Christian faith)

Why does this only print 'B'?

echo A | tee /dev/stderr | echo B | tee /dev/stderr > /dev/null

...

I think I need -a.

Anonymous

@user202729 Because the stdout from the first tee (containing A) gets piped into echo B, which consumes it

user202729

Nope.

@Mego Wait a minute...

I think it works like ^?

Then why does echo A | tee /dev/stderr | echo B > /dev/null print nothing while ( echo A >&2 ) | echo B > /dev/null prints A?

Esolanging Fruit

4:17 AM

TIL the timestamp on a comment is a link to that comment

Dennis

@user202729 echo b doesn't accept input, so tee gets SIGPIPEd when it tries to write to STDERR.

s/STDERR/STDOUT/

Anonymous

You want a cat before echo B

Anonymous

(or any command that will read from stdin)

Dennis

That would only work up to the buffer of cat though, which will also exit on SIGPIPE.

Anonymous

4:28 AM

@Dennis Sure, but 1 byte won't fill up the buffer

user202729

... why isn't there any error messages ...

Anonymous

Well, 1 byte + newline. I guess it would depend on the buffering mode of cat

user202729

Or just use cat > /dev/null?

Dennis

@user202729 Because SIGPIPE is business as usual. You don't want an error message every time you use head.

Anonymous

@user202729 The output there doesn't matter. You just need something to consume the STDOUT output of tee so that the /dev/stderr output doesn't fail

Dennis

4:30 AM

What are you trying to do anyway?

{ yes | tee /dev/stderr | cat | true; } |& wc -c produces between 8 and 128 KiB of output.

user202729

Is there a way to detect sigpipe?

Dennis

From the Bash script? I don't think so.

Anonymous

Interesting: the starboard fails a basic voting system criteria: adding a star to the topmost item can change the order of other items on the starboard.

DJMcMayhem

What? How?

Dennis

You can check the exit code post execution though. SIGPIPE if signal 13, so the exit code would be 141.

Anonymous

4:38 AM

When I added the 3rd star to the current top message, the 14-star message and quartata's 1-star message swapped places

Dennis

@user202729 yes, tee, and cat got SIGPIPE.

user202729

If you remove it... does it revert?

Anonymous

@user202729 Too late now. The only way I could do that would be by removing all stars on it

user202729

Or is it just time effect?

Anonymous

Even mods are subject to the star timeout

user202729

4:40 AM

(because naturally new messages are on the top, but as they get older the more-starred messages get to the top)

1,2,3 sets the return value to that list. ; needs a left and a right argument, and it's left argument is given as 0, therefore it's right argument must be the return value ([1,2,3])
