@Niko Hi
@lyxal Can't you just loop that for 5 minutes?
That would be cheating!
It'd be depriving us of quality, unique screaming
@user that'd be too cheap
Besides I have some ideas I want to record for it too

Why This was downvoted?
I've downvoted, because I'm disappointed about how this was rolled out. This should have been an easy win for y'all - the ability to advertise specific questions is a very good thing. However, y'all were given feedback on this idea a month ago, and you've all but ignored it, and the feedback you acted on has made it very vague (to the point where this has 2 close votes). I like Community Ads, they're probably one of the few systems of advertising I support. But I can't support the way you guys have done this — caird coinheringaahing Jun 17 '21 at 16:20

I want to change my GitHub username to Radvylf, but it'll break lots of links. Should I?
So long as no one else ever takes the name redwolf programs, you'll be fine
Not really true, GH doesn't set up redirects for a lot of stuff
It does set up redirects for repos
Source: personal experience

Weird issue with my new chromebook: Ctrl+clicking links only has like a 50% success rate
It opens stuff in the same tab about 50% of the time
And yet the control key itself works perfectly fine

@RadvylfPrograms Do you know why I get 1005'd when I kill you with instant reload?
it's a bug, not sure what causes it

I've got a golflang idea with a weird bytecounting system
It's half-byte but one of the characters (k) is a digraph / trigraph modifier
But all the digraphs / trigraphs have single-char forms
So you can have digraphs like k? which can also be represented as i for usability
It's going to be confusing
That would be effectively 15 half byte chars and 16 full byte ones, which doesn't sound that confusing
Hmm okay
and Nibbles has digraphs iirc
@Bubbler iirc it stores strings as ascii
also that, yeah
05:45
It's somewhat Vyxal-based

So here's me eating dinner and watching the real time questions page for the entire SE network. (I'd would've watched an active conversation in a SE chat room, but there were none active, so I defaulted to the list for entertainment). I see a question on stack overflow with the tags and . I think to myself "that's going to be vtc'd because it doesn't have an objective language tag"
And then I realise that code golf has really impacted my life that much that I no longer remember that other sites don't need objective criteria
07:58
lol
also im back from school
oh cool
anyone here can check and validate my challenges?
08:03
i thought of a good tacit language idea
idea: vyxal atoms and jelly quicks but they are like APL's trains
@emanresuA so i delete right
yep pretty much
Unless, if you have another idea, you could replace that

Q: Is there a tool in VScode to predict optimal amount of gas price?

MehmedBOn MetaMask, it shows you the optimal (estimated) gas price (and you can even tweak it). Is there a similar tool for VSCode (Visual studio code) as well? Below is the screenshot of MetaMask:

Ah yes
I love using vscode for gas prices
lol
@emanresuA would u mind check the rest, e.g. knights jam, travelers saleman problem
08:08
@lyxal vs code is overrated
You use vim for gas prices in ethereum?
what else would you use, emacs?
@lyxal nah i use nvimacs

Q: How to attach EXE file in Gmail?

Benjamin Possible Duplicate: How can I send a windows executable via Gmail? Why doesn't Gmail allow to attach EXE files? It's very annoying. Gmail even denies if I archive the .exe file to .zip. Why did they decide to do that? How do you do it when you want to attach an EXE file?

Hmm
Ngl probably not a good idea to send exes
@lyxal out of context quote of the day
here is a cool thing: [3 3]I gives [[[0 0] [0 1] [0 2]] [[1 0] [1 1] [1 2]] [[2 0] [2 1] [2 2]]]

i made it so u can take in input as list
Wait a little longer
wait a little longer meaning you feel it can be improved or that you think its ok but others should take a look?

@DialFrost why are you calling yourself worst lol
I scream at my computer for an hour only to realize I used the wrong variable name.
erm
cuz im bad
so I'm probably not the worst then
see message above
I meant to say I am probably the worst
sorry, words got mixed up
no I meant you're not the worst
man what am I saying
lol
happens sometimes when u accidentally use the wrong var
10:04
@Adám wow it actually is lol
@PyGamer0 (only now noticed this) the <html> and <body> tags there are useless, as the content is inserted already within the body of the site; I think <script> tags inserted with innerHTML (which is what paste does) just don't ever execute; you want to place the JS in the JS tab

user100690ophact is a randomly generated 6-character long string which came from a short piece of JavaScript code I wrote, a sort of "random competition" for JavaScript. It was the only readable word that came out, and has the sort of tone of "oh, fact?"

10:59
@l4m2 what are you trying to show here?
@PyGamer0 a behaves as an array, so a language can treat array as a special function
oh
i dont know such a language
CLCMC (command line chat mini challenge). Find all text files in the current directory with at least 5 strings of length 5 in them.
@l4m2 k
@Adám k?
example?
11:01
yes
@PyGamer0 Yes, indeed
@Anush what do you mean by 5 strings ?
@Adám lol what? so does it return the 3rd element?
@PyGamer0 @PyGamer0 there is one string per line in the files
@PyGamer0 Indeed.
Arrays are projection functions.
11:03
@Anush example of a file?
@Adám so k uses a different array model then?
Different from what?
K uses the same array model as Jelly.
@Adám APL and J?
@Adám whats the name of the model?
@PyGamer0 APL and J do not use the same array model.
11:05
@PyGamer0 or bpa.st/JA7Q
@Adám i know that,
@PyGamer0 I don't know if it has a name. Maybe "the list model"?
@Anush oh so a file with atleast 5 lines each of length 5?
@Adám the json model
lol
@PyGamer0 No. JSON has atomic strings. K uses character lists.
@PyGamer0 i do not own ophcat bruh
11:08
@PyGamer0 yes
@Adám is K an array language
wow 3 pings in a row
lol
sigh all my qns have recently degraded
@PyGamer0 That's debatable. See apl.wiki/Array_model
@Adám im asking because i saw that page
> Languages like K are usually considered part of the array language or APL family, but may or may not be considered array languages themselves.
@PyGamer0 So are you asking me to make a decision on that question?
Or are you asking is I personally consider K an array language?
11:15
@pxeger can we see the fish video?
fish video???
I really can't follow instructions any more :( I am trying to use https://github.com/google/sentencepiece . The example says: >>> import sentencepiece as spm
>>> s = spm.SentencePieceProcessor(model_file='spm.model')
but where does it tell me what spm.model has to be??
@Anush youtube won't let me upload it for some reason, so here's a screenshot of the first and last frames:
@Adám im asking this
@pxeger first frame: nice fish, last frame: wtf
@Anush i think i can do this in python
also @lyxal rickrolled me in discord DMs
@pxeger cool!
@PyGamer0 nice!

someone should do a primality check of 694201337
@StackMeterPlus it is prime
yes, it is prime
confirmed by JavaScript, everyone's least favorite language.
DID SOMEBODY BESMIRCH JAVASCRIPT?!?!
@StackMeterPlus well wolframalpha says so
@Anush yes it is funny
@AncientSwordRage EVERYBODY besmirches Javascript
we found the best prime
11:36
@AncientSwordRage "everyone" excludes me, of course.
quitely except me
Javascript is like using html to parse regex: an absolute no-no that will destroy the world
you mean using regex to parse html, or did you actually mean that html could parse?
greatest revelation: html can parse
well time to prove the world that you can parse html with regex :P
@StackMeterPlus I do like using HTML to parse regex. The way the div tags divide the regex into tokens is just so efficient
11:39
someone should make a scaled-down challenge of parsing html with regex.
maybe I'll do it
That is what divs are for right? Dividing regex tokens, right?
5
i mean, jelly is parsed with regex
probably the only language to be parsed with regex
@PyGamer0 I'm undecided.
@StackMeterPlus there's no way you could have meant to say that parsing html with regex is the naughty thing and that you didn't mean it the way you wrote it.
@Adám no, you're Adám.
11:42
CMC: given a string consisting only of HTML tags that are closed with a "long close tag" i.e. not <tag />, but no attributes or text within those tags, output a structure that corresponds to the HTML structure. For instance: <html><head></head><body><iloveparsinghtmlwithregex></iloveparsinghtmlwithregex></body></html> -> {html:[{head:[]},{body:[{iloveparsinghtmlwithregex:[]}]}]}. IO is flexible. However, you may only use regular expressions to parse the HTML. Shortest regex wins.
I mean CBC chat big challenge
so.... css can respond to things like :checked and :hover right? You could do some limited regex parsing using css selectors?
3
A: Manipulate css class without javascript

OkaThis is possible in pure CSS3 by (ab)using checkboxes, the :checked pseudo-class selector, and the general sibling selector ~. The idea is to hide an invisible (opacity: 0;) checkbox on a higher z-index, covering your menu button. When checked, this activates styles targeted by the :checked ~ .....

@StackMeterPlus you said that parsing regex with html was a no no
I'm saying that you couldn't have totally meant to put those the other way around
228
A: Using regular expression in css?

steveaxYou can manage selecting those elements without any form of regex as the previous answers show, but to answer the question directly, yes you can use a form of regex in selectors: #sections div[id^='s'] { color: red; } <div id="sections"> <div id="s1">one</div> <div id="s2">two</div> <...

@lyxal oops
Plus you didn't get me with the rickroll. As soon as it loaded youtube and before it loaded video details/the actual video, I called it.
we we on the verge of greatness
we were *this close*
Bonus points for my CBC if you can handle arbitrary HTML with attributes as well.
@ophact where
above
11:49
you should see the links in this comment
@StackMeterPlus I missed the joke :(
69|420|1337 (bars for emphasis) is prime
we found the funniest prime
3
@StackMeterPlus 1337 is leet... 420 is marijuana day?
I think it was a time, not a date, originally
4:20 PM
69 is a sex thing?
it's a difficult joke :)
12:22
@AncientSwordRage I’ve heard html+css is turing complete, so i guess you could do that depending on how you represent the regex

Can somebody explain me how TIO links are encoded?
they're composed into a format of "Header\0...\0Code\0...\0"

this is what i send to tio
it's very similar to the url encoding scheme

@GingerIndustries whats up doc?
@GingerIndustries yes
@GingerIndustries although if the project is written correctly, it can be cross compiled. For instance it used to be possible to cross compile Firefox in certain cases. (I don't know whether they still support that or not.)
@Neil you don't need to do that anymore, firefox-esr is natively supported

I am JS newbie and I am not sure how to run code (on linux). I just did git clone github.com/cityssm/unleet and I would like to run the sample code from that page "unleet("b@d w0rd");" How can I do that?
node
I'd use nvm if you're going to be running JS often
or you could use RTO
ok node seems to give me an interpreter. But > unleet("b@d w0rd");
Thrown:
ReferenceError: unleet is not defined
do I need to import something?
require("unleet") should work
Wait no, use npm to install it
No need to git clone
npm install @cityssm/unleet
@RadvylfPrograms hmm... seems not. looking in the directory I see bpa.st/5UCQ
15:48
You could require("./index") I guess, but that's a rather unusual way to use a node library
did I do something stupid?
Did you install with npm?
if not, you're basically automatically doing it wrong
@RadvylfPrograms no. I would like to get it to work from github . I will eventually want to use it on a system that is not connected to the internet so I will have to copy a directory over
Is posting random interesting unicode chars in sandbox ok?
@BgilMidol are they rude?
15:53
@Anush Maybe put it in node_modules
@Anush no
@BgilMidol then no :)
@BgilMidol Use the formatting sandbox on MM
???
@RadvylfPrograms ok
or do you mean the chat sandbox
15:54
@RadvylfPrograms can you explain more?
@RadvylfPrograms yes
yeah, that's fine
@Anush Not really, because I've never bothered installing a JS thing manually for node. But I think node_modules and package.json are how you'd do it
Just google how to manually install a node library
ok thanks
hmm. this is less trivial that I was hoping!
in python land I would just set up a virtual environment
16:38
I have an idea
that's dangerous
since so many challenges seem to involve lists, I want to make a golflang that is designed specifically for operating on lists
Jelly?
Maybe treat integer also as list
@pxeger is jelly made for lists?
huh
I've already made a Hello World program: "Hello World!"
and my solution for this question, even without any convenience functions or golfing, comes in at 11 bytes
i'm trying to think of a name
Dynalist sounds nice
17:00
now that I think about it what I'm basically going to end up with is a jelly clone
:|
I refuse to let that happen
@GingerIndustries found a 6 byte solution to this!
Bw↔‽↩;
all I have to do is create an interpreter for this
fun
@pxeger laughs in 41hr TensorFlow build
What languages use half bytes and is golf friendly?
