Code trolling

That spike is on Dec 28, 2013, the day the first code trolling question was posted

Q: AoCG2021 Day 7: Bathroom security goes wild

Part of Advent of Code Golf 2021 event. See the linked meta post for details. The story continues from AoC2016 Day 2, Part 2. You finally figure out the bathroom code (on the weird diamond-shaped keypad) and open the bathroom door. And then you see another door behind it, with yet another keypad...

@RedwolfPrograms Unfortunately, Monica being fired wasn't out of the blue. SE had been declining in quality for the more dedicated users for a while before that, and our userbase was kinda stagnating. Over 12k users simply stopped visiting the site in 2017

rues

@RedwolfPrograms Or we could be uncreative about it and bring back code trolling :)

Adám

Maybe we could have April 1 as one day a year where code trolling is permitted.

Redwolf Programs

Seems like 2014 and 2017 might've been reverse-bubbles of sorts, where a whole bunch of users start joining, in amounts that the site can't sustain, then they slowly fall off

Adám

Compare to Judaism.SE where ridiculous/funny/absurd/impossible questions are allowed for one month a year.

caird coinheringaahing

12:05 AM

@RedwolfPrograms It definitely seemed as tho a lot of users joined during the code trolling and pop con era, but then slowly left once they realised those challenges were no longer welcome here

During 2016, we had some of the highest voted (and activity) questions posted, chat started to properly develop a culture of its own (the memes page for example), and we'd just graduated, so everyone was feeling heard by SE

@Adám Tbh, I wouldn't be opposed to this

The biggest issue with code trolling was that so many of the questions were just lazy, vague "write some code that looks like it has something to do with X". If we have a set date for them, we can prep them in advance, and make sure they're actually fun

Box-drawing character

Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. Box-drawing characters typically only work well with monospaced fonts. In graphical user interfaces, these characters are much less useful as it is more simple and appropriate to draw lines and rectangles directly with graphical APIs. However, they are still useful for command-line interfaces and plaintext comments within source code. Used along with box-drawing characters are block elements, shade characters, and terminal graphic...

Bubbler

If it has a clear algorithm to generate that, sure

caird coinheringaahing

One potential concern that all challenges with box-drawing challenges have is that they're unicode characters, which not every language likes

AncientSwordRage

@Bubbler it does

@cairdcoinheringaahing APL…

yeah. "you can count these as 1 byte" is a good mitigation but it doesn't work for many languages like jelly where it just trashes anything not in its codepage :/

rues

ASCII substitution can be allowed, though, right? It's not pretty but it's something

AncientSwordRage

I still have an unfinished sandpit answer I owe the stack 😬

hyper-neutrino

true; you could just allow any <x> unique characters in its place, and just deal with needing to put the output through a substitution to make it look readable

caird coinheringaahing

Mmm, I love having to juggle two GitHub accounts on the same laptop

Redwolf Programs

Why don't you get two laptops and juggle those

caird coinheringaahing

Laptops weigh more than GitHub accounts

Redwolf Programs

But it's easier to juggle real objects

And if you just try to juggle the account's session cookies, they crumble and make a mess

rues

git config is the real problem

Every time I clone a repository with the other account that I'm not signed into globally, I have to do git config --local user.name cgccuser

caird coinheringaahing

This is why I don't use git :P

Why use version control software, when you can just not? :P

rues

1:28 AM

Redwolf Programs

Solution: Put two motherboards in the same laptop, with all the stuff they need, so you basically have two distinct computers in one machine

Mmm, maybe I should put everything in Google Drive folders from now on, that's basically what git does anyway, right? :P

@lyxal No, these problems are local

@cairdcoinheringaahing Well, you won't know the odds of that being true until you catch up on Probability :P

i just added all the TNB ROs to it cuz it's meant to be to keep AoC out of TNB so it's an "extension" of it. but like, only half of the ROs actually go there

@cairdcoinheringaahing oh right, i forgor you could do that lol

caird coinheringaahing

If I can ever be bothered to do so, I will :P

Adám

@hyper-neutrino Thanks for the tip.

1:42 AM

Strangely, I don't remember getting a notification about having become a RO there.

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, you don't

I only noticed cause I was looking at my list of rooms and saw the AoC room under the "Rooms you own" list

Adám

So people can just go about making me RO nilly-willy‽

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, basically

It's hardly a bad thing

Advent

Advent is a season of the liturgical year observed in most Christian denominations as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Christ at Christmas and the return of Christ at the Second Coming. Advent is the beginning of the liturgical year in Western Christianity, and is part of the wider Christmas and holiday season. The term "Advent" is also used in Eastern Orthodoxy for the 40-day Nativity Fast, which has practices different from those in the West.The name was adopted from Latin adventus "coming; arrival", translating Greek parousia. In the New...

borrows everyone's computer to compute the answer to all things, for reasons

caird coinheringaahing

@Adám I would suggest taking a semi regular look at the rooms you own, if that's a concern, and un-ROing yourself if anything pops up. Also, while anyone can be made an RO of a room, doing so inappropriately (e.g. in an effort to falsely suggest association/approval) is a violation of SE's "Be Nice" policy

If it does happen, letting the person who RO'ed you know that you aren't ok with it is the best course of action

rues

1:48 AM

@Adám I can see that lol, but AoC isn't a Christian event, it's just for people to have fun

Adám

@cairdcoinheringaahing Yeah, now I know to do that.

rues

@cairdcoinheringaahing Is there a feature request on meta to let people know when they're ROed?

hyper-neutrino

to be fair, I should've asked before adding any ROs

and honestly, I didn't really need to in the first place

rues

Anyway, o/ have to eat now

Thomas Ward

@hyper-neutrino #AllGloryToTheDiamonds ?

hyper-neutrino

1:49 AM

unlike the trash can everyone has write access so the ROs here can move anything they need into it

@ThomasWard well I was gonna say there's no need because we might need to move stuff in but not really out, but yes, #AllGloryToTheDiamonds

Adám

@ThomasWard You can compute that in APL with the straightforward formula ⍎⊖⍕⊃⊂|⌊-*+○⌈×÷!⌽⍉⌹~⍴⍋⍒,⍟?⍳0 Try it!

I suppose it'd be given highest priority since it is about inclusivity…

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Interestingly, Shog considers self-un-RO to be one of the most overlooked abilities of being an RO. Which makes a lot of sense thinking about it - understanding that you no longer need to have RO powers is a solid bit of self-reflection

lyxal

@ThomasWard it's more customary here to wait until the 2 minute edit grace period expires for more lols

caird coinheringaahing

@Adám OTOH, it's a chat feature request, so it also gets lowest priority.... :/

Thomas Ward

@lyxal shrugs then they'll just ask us to change it for them :p

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah, that does make sense. although in this case it is just a matter of me not thinking things through before hand :P so apologies @Adám, BTW

@ThomasWard yes but you can just say no :P

pygamer are you reimplementing Jelly

PyGamer0

technically, partially, maybe, probably, physically, chemically

just the specs

havent started writing any program yet

Should codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/16826/… be closed?

hyper-neutrino

probably should. though there are quite a few popcon graphical-output challenges of similar ambiguity and idk if they should all be closed or opened

but this one seems a bit worse specified than most

emanresu A

Also, goto sleep, it's 3am

PyGamer0

^ so how does this code page look?

emanresu A

Pretty good

lyxal

@PyGamer0 needs a superscript 3

^

PyGamer0

what would ³ do?

cube?

....square ...root?

emanresu A

Nah, use √ for that

It's just weird to have 1245 but not 3

lyxal

^

@PyGamer0 1st input or a constant if no inputs

PyGamer0

input as in command line args?

and what should the constant be?

hyper-neutrino

whatever you think would be convenient for niladic programs

PyGamer0

16, 32, 64

ⓑ outputs 0 1

CMQ: Should I create a separate array class for flax or should I use lists?

hyper-neutrino

do you plan to have infinite lists? if so, it's probably easier to make everything your custom class; if not, i don't see why you'd bother

Bubbler

whatever suits the needs and feels more natural for you

PyGamer0

@hyper-neutrino does jelly have infinite lists?

Bubbler

no, but 05ab1e and husk do

PyGamer0

ok then flax might have infinite lists in the future

so is this infinite lists?

pxeger

8:40 AM

yes

there are other ways of doing infinite lists, of course, but that's definitely the most obvious

and probably most idiomatic in Python

emanresu A

@Bubbler And Vyxal, although it;s a little buggy

pxeger

> a little

PyGamer0

ok i shall start on flax

@JoKing how do mods know that?

ip address?

emanresu A

Just watched My Neighbour Totoro and I have the theme music stuck in my head

pxeger

@PyGamer0 I think mods can see users' email addresses

PyGamer0

8:52 AM

wha

Unrelated String

@PyGamer0 with the caveat that it doesn't entirely behave like a list, but you could probably build a more proper infinite list around generators if you want

might be worth looking at some of the funkier haskell sequence answers
