The Nineteenth Byte

6:00 PM

iirc there are Greek letters that look like Latin letters lowercased, but different uppercased

@user It is especially messed up because Unicode didn't separate normal I from Turkic I and ditto for the lowercase.

user

Homoglyphs are annoying but they're a necessary evil imo

@Adám Oh lol

pxeger

@user I presume they mean that "A".lower() could be a or α

user

If by "they" you mean me, and you were talking to StackMeter, then yes

pxeger

@user But then what about the distinction between ENGLISH INDEFINITE ARTICLE A and ENGLISH FINAL LETTER OF TITLE OF CHART-TOPPING VILLAGE PEOPLE SONG

StackMeter

6:01 PM

@pxeger I'm gonna use that at some point

user

@pxeger Wait what

Adám

@pxeger Should 3 lowercase to з?

user

When I look up "ENGLISH FINAL LETTER OF TITLE OF CHART-TOPPING VILLAGE PEOPLE SONG", I don't get any meaningful results

pxeger

@user well, the meaning of A in A bagel is completely different form the meaning of A in YMCA

user

Okay?

Adám

6:03 PM

@pxeger Yes, but that's literally literally how English works.

pxeger

it was a joke

user

Oh ok

StackMeter

@Adám no

it don't lowercase

do not ask me why I know that

Adám

@StackMeter It does in Russian.

Ze (Cyrillic)

Ze (З з; italics: З з) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It commonly represents the voiced alveolar fricative /z/, like the pronunciation of ⟨z⟩ in "zebra". Ze is romanized using the Latin letter ⟨z⟩. The shape of Ze is very similar to the Arabic numeral three ⟨3⟩, and should not be confused with the Cyrillic letter E ⟨Э⟩. == History and shape == Ze is derived from the Greek letter Zeta (Ζ ζ). In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was землꙗ (zemlja), meaning "earth". The shape of the letter originally looked similar to a Greek or Latin letter Z with a tail on the bottom (ꙁ). Though a majuscule...

pxeger

GET TO З CHOPPAA

StackMeter

6:05 PM

It's a 3

Adám

And in Dutch, the uppercase of ÿ is Ĳ

pxeger

or how the lowercase of ẞ is ss

(sometimes)

StackMeter

I can't do it

it don't work

Adám

@pxeger No, never. The uppercase of ẞ is sometimes SS, though.

pxeger

@StackMeter what

@Adám yeah that's what I meant

My German is rusty

StackMeter

6:07 PM

@pxeger I said what I said

it don't work

in Python, it quits

pxeger

@StackMeter what is "it"

StackMeter

the prgogram lowercasing ẞ and friends

pxeger

$ python
...
>>> 'ẞ'.lower()
'ẞ'

Adám

@pxeger Looks like a bug to me. APL:

      ⎕c'ẞ'
ß

StackMeter

then why doesn't this work
````print(ord(("ẞ".lower)))````

pxeger

6:10 PM

you need parens after .lower

@Adám that's the same?

Adám

@pxeger No, Python returned the char unmodified.

pxeger

oh there's a difference, I didn't even notice

that's probably the source of the confusion

@Adám Python didn't actually do that. I didn't copy and paste; I typed it out because I thought they were the same

Adám

@pxeger Cheater.

pxeger

well they're really close to indistinguishable for me

I'm using quite a small screen though tbf

Adám

Pretty clear in the screenshot, no?

StackMeter

6:13 PM

so the lower case of ẞ is ẞ, so it's not ss, and thus you lied to me

pxeger

@Adám yes

StackMeter

I feel betrayed

pxeger

@StackMeter I didn't lie; I was wrong

different

StackMeter

ok

let us test it with the other ß

Adám

What do you mean?

StackMeter

6:14 PM

well, I tried it, and unless the ASCII code of "ss" is 223, you are wrong

Adám

Unicode specifies various ways to case map.

There are modes that preserve length, and modes that allow changing length.

Also, relevant:

Q: Case-fold German

The target case may be taken as any three unique values (please specify what they are) of a consist...

StackMeter

Why does title case ß go to Ss

Adám

6:35 PM

Because it is really a double-letter, so the first half of it is upper.

StackMeter

oh ok

That actually makes sense upon thinking about it

based on letters: CMQ: letter(s) you could go without, and why - most creative answer will get starred.

caird coinheringaahing

c

StackMeter

and why?

Adám

Always k or s

caird coinheringaahing

c kan be kompletely replased with s and k

StackMeter

6:38 PM

ok

hyper-neutrino

ch

Adám

@StackMeter x: always ks or ct or z

StackMeter

@hyper-neutrino Flag messages don't allow for markdown, do they?

if you mean flags on main site, it seems they do allow it

also wait does this let me farm infinite helpful flags in theory? (I just retracted my own flag but like in theory)

caird coinheringaahing

Guess it doesn't support [tag:style-markdown] then

@hyper-neutrino I don't think so

user

@hyper-neutrino Imma flag this ;P

caird coinheringaahing

Mods can't get Marshal or Deputy, because they can't get helpful flags IIRC

hyper-neutrino

7:15 PM

just confirmed, I can raise and validate my own flag and it will add to my helpful flag count...

user

@StackMeter Is it okay if I go back to before HN mentioned images?

StackMeter

@user too late, the round has started

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing But what about when HN is unmodified?

StackMeter

@user they will get it

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Oh, I guess that might be how mods get Marshal after they step down, as you just can't get those badges while mod

hyper-neutrino

7:17 PM

would seem like it

caird coinheringaahing

IIRC Monica noticed she was fired because she received the Marshal badge

hyper-neutrino

if anyone notices they were fired for any reason other than that they were told that they were fired (and why) that raises many red flags :/

but okay, i see

user

@hyper-neutrino Pun intended?

hyper-neutrino

not particularly but I did notice before I sent it and didn't bother rewording

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino I mean yeah. But of all the shit that happened around that, the way Monica found out is like the least worst

hyper-neutrino

7:19 PM

That's true

caird coinheringaahing

It's a bit like going "Hey, I killed your puppy" but instead of telling someone, you just send them a bitmoji of that. Like, that's not a great way, but there's so much worse to unpack there :P

hyper-neutrino

that's... an interesting analogy

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah :/ TBH I don't think anyone's found a "good" analogy for what happened with Monica, or anything around that

I cleared that star; we don't need that on the starboard

StackMeter

I wanna know how to convert ASCII to binary but it uses 6 and 9

step 5: profit

caird coinheringaahing

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino “string”, preferably “string when I can

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino The Java programmer in me wants "string", and the Python programmer in me is too scared of snakes and snake-like objects to deal with Python strings (or strings in any language)

hyper-neutrino

i like to use "" possibly because Java was one of the first languages i learned more seriously

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Either is acceptable. Languages that require one (looking at you Add++) are bad

hyper-neutrino

'' still feels like character literal to me

also having to use both quotes is weird. it's a single character; there's no ambiguity as to the length of it, the second ' is totally extraneous

i was gonna code something far more cursed but didn't want to waste too much time

user

@Wezl Those are annoying

@hyper-neutrino What was it going to utilize?

hyper-neutrino

Wezl

@user May I ask why?

user

I would like to waste time on it, since my brain's malfunctioning today anyway

@Wezl No real reason, just don't like not having the character be between ''s

@hyper-neutrino How is that cursed? That is very idiomatic in Java.

hyper-neutrino

Wezl

caird coinheringaahing

@user Excuse me, how is that idomatic? He doesn't even have a factory factory?

And, tbh, if you don't have a factory factory Factory, are you even coding Java?

Neil

@pxeger huh, you're right. (I actually had to look this up, since I've redefined my AltGr to be the more useful Compose key, and I can still type the Euro using AltGr, E, =)

hyper-neutrino

you need a factory to produce your infinite chain of factories

user

Here's a checklist for whether or not you should do something in Java:
1. Is it verbose? If yes, continue on. If not, add some meaningless words to all your classes and methods.
2. Does it have at least 2 factories and/or builders? If not, make sure you add some design patterns. A `BuilderFactoryProviderAdapter` is best.
3. Does it have enough abstraction? Make sure you don't get too abstract, because then some might think you're an FP programmer, and we don't want that. But make sure it's just abstract enough that no one understands anything.

Damn, I was hoping that'd be starred like my headless chicken thing

@StackMeter either better consistency/quality, or luck, lol

the top average scorer for jelly has only one answer in jelly, because it got +53, and that is therefore their whole average. if you have very few answers, any outliers are basically just the whole statistic

@hyper-neutrino it's probably luck, or at least that's what I tell myself to stop me crying

Easiest way to game the system is posting high quality answers and challenges

@hyper-neutrino One slightly lesser-known trick is that it's better to post an invalid answer, delete it and edit+undelete than to take your time and post later on

@elementiro i 100% agree with this, and it's a bit hypocritical (or whatever the other term was) for someone like me to say this but focusing on rep detracts from the whole point in participating here anyway; it's a byproduct of the actual fun part of codegolf and CGCC

hyper-neutrino

8:37 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing oh. yeah, I suppose you could do that too. that's... probably something I'd contact users over if I notice them intentionally doing it

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino I've done that before, where I've posted an answer I think works, it turns out not to, I delete it, fix and then undelete it

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing ah yes that's the term. yeah, I think as long as one isn't sacrificing quality or fun entirely for rep and still looks to participate for the sake of enjoyment, wanting more rep is totally normal because a) internet points go brrrrr and b) SE's whole privilege system is based around it

user

Oh wait, I just realized that my average score for Python answers is much lower. My Compose a Song question just happened to contain ## Python, 0 bytes

@StackMeter So when factoring the exponents, we can either do p1^x1 * p2 ^ x2 * p3^x3... or p1 * p2 * p3 ...?

And if we choose the later, do we repeat the process on the exponents' factors' exponents too?

You can get a maximum of 200 reputation a day (barring bounties/accepts). I've already hit that limit, so any new upvotes on my posts go to "waste"

Is it just me, or did TNB use to pile stars on everything? Looking at the starred messages here, many have upwards of 10 stars on them

Redwolf Programs

There were just more people then

StackMeter

@cairdcoinheringaahing no I was making a meme

We still pile stars on, there are just fewer people starring
