My new website is up!
I'm going to be making an online text based adventure style game called Amidst
Can someone verify this link works: amidst.dev
 
yes
great site, 10/10
 
I just bought it like ten minutes ago :p
I've been working on the back end for the past few weeks
 
Evidently, there's so much to show for it :p

@Razetime Does it work now? Chances are it was the quota running out for the API.
If it still doesn't work it's probably something front end, like the graduation userscript breaking something
 
@UnrelatedString At least it does credit the sandbox post...
 
I should probably stop volunteering for so many bounties when I'm trying to get to 10k...
Also it's nice scrolling down and noticing a 4-byte jelly answer to a problem, then realizing Ash can get the same score
 
1:45 PM
@RedwolfPrograms yess it does
@RedwolfPrograms things are getting interesting
 
@NewMainPosts What was this question?
 
@NewMainPosts Why is this challenge downvoted?!
This is a very clear and good challenge, it doesn't deserve to be downvoted!
 
@2x-1 What is it about? I can't see it because I don't have enough rep.
 
@user You can find a viewable copy of the challenge at archive.org.
 
@2x-1 Thanks
Huh, it's not downvoted anymore
 
2:01 PM
@user Yeah, people upvoted it back.
 
Oh ok
 
These 4 people who gave the downvotes must be crazy.
 
@2x-1 Wait a minute, that's not the same question
 
@user They are the same question. Their bodies are exactly the same.
 
:56969535 Why are you deleting your comments?
 
2:10 PM
@user Please don't mind, I think I've just posted very inappropriate content
 
I have a feeling you're messing with me here, but I'm not sure how or why.
 
2:26 PM
@JohnDvorak You could have just done:
example::cp:
        xchg    esi, edi
        neg     esi
        ret
 
that's not the same ABI though
 
2:52 PM
I updated my CGCC profile to reduce potential profile views. Not sure if that's going to help though. :)
 
Immediately goes to view profile

heh yes I just watched the PVs go from 41->42

Does anyone know where you can download a chinese word list from? aspell sadly doesn't cover chinese
 
Weird question, but...
 
thanks :)
oh.. not my question?
 
Hey I didn't say that I know the answer!
 
you would have thought it would be possible
 
No idea. You can still scrape Chinese Wikipedia and use something to extract the words.
The browsers can figure out the word boundaries with control+left and control+right (if I recalled correctly) so surely it must detect it somehow?
 
4:20 PM
@user202729 that's interesting
I can't even find it!
 
Find what? tools to split Chinese into words?
 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Wikipedia doesn't seem to give a link to the chinese wiki
I can't even find the wiki itself!
 
zh.Wikipedia.org
Again, if I recalled correctly.
 
thanks!
 
Otherwise just scrape random Chinese sites.
 
4:24 PM
you might have thought it would be linked from the english language wiki page
 
thinking Have you tried searching for "word list" translated to Chinese with a Chinese search engine?
 
oh it is there but hidden in the History section
@user202729 all good ideas

DeadbeefColorize a diff, unified format Introduction git diff is a great way to export patches of the source code, and its outputs are colorized if you don't pass extra arguments to it.

Q: Size of the Primitive Data Types

Arunabh BhattacharyaIn most programming languages, typically C, C++, and Java, the integer data types are "int", "short", and "long". The "int" data type is usually 32 bits. The "short" data type is usually smaller than the "int" data type and the "long" data type is usually larger than the "int" data type. The fir...

Thinking of switching to an INTL keyboard layout, but the extra keystroke for ", ', and ` is annoying for programming :/
 
Hm yeah the only part I want is the altgr
sometimes I switch only during italian class
 
Aha, looks like US extended is pretty much the same, but with the normal bindings for those and AltGr to switch to the diacritics
 
great! thx

9:07 PM
Also TIL I can disable the spell check on my laptop, since it's really annoying having red underlines under words like "quine" and "synesthesia"
 
I probably did that a million years ago, or maybe there never were red underlines pauses and considers life
 
Plsu its not lkie I shuold be makign too many spelling erors wthiout it, rihgt?
 
lol
 
also on all the websites I'm forced to use
 
@Wezl If there were never red underlines, you don't need to consider life. You'll only need to do that if you start typing like Redwolf Programs
 
9:10 PM
Yuo can raed wrods fnie if the wdors sitll strat and end wtih the oignrail lerttes
 
No I can't
 
oh yeah that coypu pasta
 
Oh
Well that throws a spanner in the works
 
@rak1507 Just throw a spanner at anyone who disagrees with you. Works for me every time.
 
9:11 PM
also apparently nutria fettucini is a real thing
 
@user I don't think people would like me very much if I did that
I'd run out of spanners very fast as well...
 
@rak1507 Do you want people to fear/respect you, or do you want people to like you?
@rak1507 Fair enough.
 
In australia if you throw a spanner at someone it hits them and then comes flying back
 
@rak1507 [citation needed]
 
I suppose you could steal some spanners, then use those to build an army of followers, and then tell them to take over a spanner factory so you'll always have enough.
 
9:13 PM
What if your followers disagree about the best way to distribute spanners, they'll end up throwing them all at each other! It would be chaos!
 
Would they be called the Stanners?
 
@rak1507 Can't be too easy throwing spanners when you're hanging upside down, though.
 
you'll always have enough if everyone throws them at people they disagree with, as long as you're good at catching
 
@rak1507 Survival of the fittest. Whoever is best at wielding spanners will be your general.
 
Or whoever is the most agreeable
And then you end up with weak leaders that cave to everyone's demands out of fear of being spannered
 
9:14 PM
@Wezl Or have a dislikable friend as a spanner magnet.
@rak1507 Control the spanner supply to avoid inflation and excess spannering.
 
friends are valuable, you don't want to lose one, even a dislikable one (at least I wouldn't if I had one)
 
lol
 
@Wezl Your friend should be honored to sacrifice themself for you.
 
@user * hypothetical friend should hypothetically
 
@Wezl Fine, instead of a friend, keep someone in chains and drag them around everywhere to collect spanners.
Actually, scratch that, this is going a little too far.
 
9:17 PM
Carry a really big magnet
 
@RedwolfPrograms You could become collateral damage.
 
I'd rather have a motorized magnet and let it carry me
 
Oh hey a new LiveOverflow video
 
Oh cool what about
 
The title is something like "does hacking require programming skill"
 
9:20 PM
Is it a 2 second video where he says the word 'Yes'?
 
@RedwolfPrograms This is unrelated, but I wrote a story in elementary school once about a bunch of alchemists who get locked up and cook up a plan to escape. They tell the king who's imprisoning them that if he gives them a lot of magnets, they can lead to gold, so he obliges. Eventually, they have a magnet so powerful that the bars of the dungeon come out and stick to the magnet, and the guard's go flying to it because of their swords. The alchemists are elated, but
 
@rak1507 or no.
 
@Wezl Well, considering the answer is yes, I would say that is the more likely option
 
I'll watch it in an hour or so but I'm on school internet and it's blocked
 
Oh rip
You have in person school?!
 
9:21 PM
@rak1507 well RMS says no, it doesn't
 
Source?
 
finding ...
 
they realize that now they're attracted to it too because of the iron in their bodies, and they too get pulled in and impaled on the swords. The magnet starts moving and getting bigger, and it eventually gets out of the palace to the top of a mountain. There it starts falling down, getting faster and faster, until it travels back in time and kills the dinosaurs.
 
lol
 
@rak1507 Yeah, we've had in person school since october here
 
9:22 PM
@RedwolfPrograms Wow, that's surprising in a way but unsurprising in others...
 
We get emails for every new case at the school, out of at least a thousand people there's only one or two a week
 
... found, see the bottom
2
 
@RedwolfPrograms More than ideal, and that's only the confirmed ones
 
@RedwolfPrograms One or two a week is surprisingly low, but it's still not that great
 
my school locks down the internet and most of the play store, but for some reason they allow termux, and I can proxy through it because apparently all the blocking is through chrome
 
9:24 PM
I mean most of the cases are probably from outside school
Everyone's distanced adequately and you can't walk ten feet without disinfecting something
 
@Wezl Seems like a different way of thinking about hacking to what most people refer to and what I assume LO is referring to in his video
@RedwolfPrograms oh well that's not so bad, I saw some schools were cramped and not distancing properly
 
shrugs
 
@Wezl My school restricts everything outside ports 80 and 443 and filters out protocols other than HTTP
They're smart, although I'm working on a way to multiplex SOCKS over websockets
 
All I know is that my school doesn't block codegolf stack exchange or the APL orchard, so I'm happy
 
Gonna call it sock²
My school blocks TIO and github.io, which is just evil
 
9:31 PM
yah, another essential tool is some static site hoster, e.g. I use codesandbox to use TIC-80
 
@RedwolfPrograms Why would tio.run be blocked? It's secure, right?
 
They hate security (it makes censorship harder), and they probably just keyword blocked it for "brainfuck"
 
Oh right
 
9:54 PM
Hello everyone, I hope that this time of the day (which just happens to be morning in my local timezone) finds you well.
I would like to enquire about what is happening for everyone in their lives, and if everything is pleasant enough.
 
@Lyxal what happens when you throw spanners in australia?
 
10:09 PM
@Wezl well you see, spanners are valuable here
So we don't go wasting them on hooligans we don't like
@RedwolfPrograms I was thinking over night and wondered if letters change colour while you're writing them.
Like, letters can be seen to have the shape of other letters while constructing them
Also, if one was to strategically place letters and numbers, could they form some sort of recognisable picture?
 
10:38 PM
@Lyxal It's not really like you see the colors; more like you just know it's that color. Like the word "attack", which is very red, doesn't appear as literal red in this message, rather I just sort of "feel" the color red when I read/think of it
 
Do you play any instruments?
 
Aw
 
@RedwolfPrograms so it's more associative than projective?
 
I think so (reaches for dictionary) :p
 
11:02 PM
Just go to Wikipedia
