> Do ~~strikethroughs~~ work in quotes?

yep

VTCAKAVSMoACE

I forgot that they don't work quite right as tags. :c

Alien G

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Probably should of read profiles but it's so much effort...

El'endia Starman

@VTCAKAVSMoACE ---strikethrough--- -> ~~strikethrough~~

GamrCorps

YAY! My daily star count has reset! Take that doc!

Alien G

@El'endiaStarman What are you trying to accomplish? .-.

VTCAKAVSMoACE

02:03

@El'endiaStarman ;) Got it. I already fixed it.

El'endia Starman

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Can you see the history of your chat messages?

Doorknob

yes

Everyone can see the history of everyone's (non-deleted) messages

El'endia Starman

ah, did not know that

Alien G

@Doorknob That's not weird at all...

Doorknob

If the message hasn't been edited, it requires some URL editing trickery, but otherwise it's under the menu that appears when you click on the arrow right to the left of the message that appears when you hover

Of course, you need to be a moderator to see the history of deleted messages

El'endia Starman

02:05

Or to see what they were in the first place.

Doorknob

yes

@AlienG Of course it's not. It's just like main site posts, which have public revision histories as well.

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@El'endiaStarman I tried to change it - you'll note that we changed it simultaneously.

El'endia Starman

...okay. WHO is starring @GamrCorps's messages?!

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Yep. But my change was first. :P

Doorknob

Basically the only thing on Stack Exchange that doesn't have public revision history (when undeleted) is comments.

GamrCorps

Alien just found out about the stars... I told him to remove them...

VTCAKAVSMoACE

02:06

@El'endiaStarman beard strokes You win this time.

El'endia Starman

oh, LOL

Alien G

@GamrCorps whaa...

El'endia Starman

@VTCAKAVSMoACE WOOHOO! I never win on the main site! :P

Alien G

Oops :S

VTCAKAVSMoACE

02:07

@El'endiaStarman xD I got really close on at least one competition! But then CJam and Pyth happened.

El'endia Starman

@VTCAKAVSMoACE I know the feeling... >_>

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Me too

GamrCorps

I have been 1 or 2 bytes under Dennis like 4 times....

VTCAKAVSMoACE

Wayhey! A star that isn't a quote!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I'm ticked because I've been robbed

Dennis

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The code snippet doesn't load for me, but I don't think the regex does what you describe in the question.

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@minxomat Does this... even make sense anymore?

GamrCorps

Is the mystery string printer challenge still going?

El'endia Starman

@GamrCorps Last I heard, yes.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Dennis Huh. It works for me, fine

VTCAKAVSMoACE

02:10

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Built-ins - they'll always get ya.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Except I won! By a byte! O^O

lol

VTCAKAVSMoACE

Uh. Forbidden by the rules. >.> Missed that section.

Dennis

> Ignored call to 'prompt()'. The document is sandboxed, and the 'allow-modals' keyword is not set.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Dennis Are you using IE? >_>

Dennis

shudders

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:11

Oh, Chrome. I just tested it.

Dennis

Chrome. Chrome won't let you use prompt() in a snippet. Firefox does.

GamrCorps

@El'endiaStarman Well, I just posted a cops response if anyone wants to try

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Well then. Any suggestions? I tried HTML, but that didn't work.

@GamrCorps Link?

Dennis

Why didn't HTML work?

02:12

@Dennis The .getElementById would not work. ._.

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You mean $('#...'). ;)

Dennis

Is that in a former revision?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Yeah, it should be in the first. @Dennis

@El'endiaStarman OH GAD!

Doorknob

@El'endiaStarman -1 not enough jQue... oh wait

VTCAKAVSMoACE

Wait, hold up, @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ, this answer was legit. I stared a little harder at it, it does follow the rules. c:

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:15

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Whoa lemme check specs!

quartata

I'm so bad at regex

Doorknob

oh look a jQuery challenge that I missed :D

Dennis

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I seem to be missing something. Revision 1 does not contain a snippet.

quartata

[jJqQuUeErRyY\$x0]+ Why no worky in Java

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Dennis Huh. I don't get it. That is weird

El'endia Starman

02:16

@quartata ....but...those characters can't be in your code...

quartata

@El'endiaStarman I'm going to use a trick to get rid of them later.

Right now I just want something that even works

El'endia Starman

gotcha

Dennis

If you edited your question in the first five minutes, there will be no leftover from the initial state.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Oh. That's why

Doorknob

@Dennis unless someone left a comment in between your post and the edit

Alien G

02:24

Well, be on later.

Doorknob

Alex A.

They mean you should believe whatever is starred, unless it tells you I'm wrong.

Seadrus

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Seadrus Of two of the languages you named, the creators are currently in this room and speaking. ;)

Alex A.

I haven't made shit!

Doorknob

02:44

@AlexA. that was actually just a normal reply since you can't stealth ping in images anyway

I've made Snowman and Macaroni!

Based on writing style here and on main.

anyone know what a binary sorting algorithm is? i need to make one for my project

Doorknob

@Geobits Maybe because... IT'S YOU! dun dun dun!

(no, it's not Geobits)

@Seadrus it's an algorithm that sorts using binary
