Ugh my sister just got away with scamming $60 from my parents right in front of their eyes >:|
She got two gift cards for her birthday: one was $40, and one was $100. She swapped the labels. Then, when she wanted to buy something that was $100, the $40 obviously didn't work, so she gave it to my parents (disguised as the $100 one) and they paid for it with their credit cards. Now she has a $100 card labeled as $40.
@Adám If this is genuine, I appreciate the offer but I'm busy tomorrow. I'm moving down south once I start uni, maybe we could sort something out then? :)
@cairdcoinheringaahing I'm genuine. You'd not be the first I met on the site to come visit. When abouts would you be moving? Asking because I'm considering moving to Denmark in the late summer.
I think a formal IRL get-together is... a bad idea. (At least, it sounds like a cool idea at first but the more thought I put into it <=> the less it seems like a good idea)
@hyper-neutrino I wouldn't mind meeting people near me, especially in a "grab a coffee" kind of thing. A conference style get together would be a bit much
@cairdcoinheringaahing well when I say formal I meant like properly organized rather than just one person going to another person's house; idk what we'd even formally have a conference-like thing for :P
yeah, that too. someone would need to book a flight and that's a bit much to meet some random internet nerds :P
@RedwolfPrograms I was thinking we could become an organization of supervillains golfers that make all code unreadable and collapse economies, with the world needing saving from us
TBH the biggest stopping point for me would be actually getting people ranging from South Korea + Australia and the US to actually agree to meet at one place, without having to "pressure" them into spending money. If there was a way to easily meet up as like a group, I'd be all for that
also yeah zoom is bleh. fortunately my company doesn't require us to turn on webcams - actually, nobody does, and for my interview there wasn't even the option to, so it's just a voice call basically
but voice calling is not hugely different from text chatting. so then the point in it is rather insignificant :p though i haven wondered what other people sound like
Even if everyone met IRL, what would they even do? It'd basically be TNB, but with ugly human faces instead of neat square pfps and everyone talking at once instead of messages sent linearly. Plus, you can't edit or nuke messages irl
@RedwolfPrograms same which is why i waste so much time here talking to people yet hate talking to people. probably has something to do with texting not being tiring for me compared to real interaction :p
The nice thing about text chat is that you don't have to reply to people if they say anything. You can sit back and let others talk (although I forgot I can do that and usually never shut up here :/)
With text you can look at what you're saying, but with actual speaking I feel like a markov chain and have to hope what I'm saying actually makes sense because I can't just undo and retype it
i have no trouble holding a conversation, don't get me wrong, and i don't even hate it in many cases but it's exhausting even if i don't mind it at the time
apparently looking at someone's nose is not really distinguishable (to them) from eye contact so you can avoid direct eye contact without making it look like you're avoiding direct eye contact
It seems like I make embarassing mistakes around other people a lot more often than other people make embarassing mistakes around me. That would be some sort of paradox, but it's actually just that I'm very bad at socializing :p
@RedwolfPrograms I can remember who made the language of that answer, but not the name of the actual language. I do know it's something to do with hex/pseudo-assembly or so
@lyxal that moment when you can't access anything because you haven't received the verify account email yet
it could probably be edited up to standard TBH, but idk if it's better to close and repost? it's not too hard to guess what OP probably meant but the question itself is bad cuz guessing shouldn't be needed
oh apparently we do have a basic 5-smooth numbers challenge except it offers no explanation, test cases, and doesn't offer standard sequence format (granted it's over 10 years old back when we didn't have such standards)
i'd say it's worth fixing over closing because then we either lose a very basic/fundamental/standard coding problem or have to think about how to repost
