The Nineteenth Byte

11:00 PM

Well. It did save 7 bytes to meet the minimum requirements, but then the display is black because it can't - for some reason - handle display sizes that small.

@TanMath I'm just giving you a suggestion. I don't know (yet) how to solve that particular task in Seriously.

TanMath

Hey @Seadrus ...@Geobits sock!

Seadrus

@TanMath heeyyyyy

TanMath

@Dennis but why would my code not work?

Seadrus

@TanMath cuz no programs work.

They're lazy.

TanMath

11:02 PM

@Seadrus true.

Bad computers!

Seadrus

@TanMath except in foo.

(or is that not what you're supposed to say?)

El'endia Starman

@Seadrus It's the France flag challenge- ^ that.

Seadrus

oh

tbh though everyones freaked out over something not that big

El'endia Starman

Yayyy +2! I feel better now. :)

@Seadrus I remember hearing that this is the greatest death toll in any single event in France since...World War II.

Seadrus

@El'endiaStarman people die all the time. we all have our times.

El'endia Starman

That said, there were similar terrorist attacks in Beirut too, and that hasn't had quite as much attention...

Seadrus

11:05 PM

TanMath

I will write a python answer with graphics module...

Dennis

@TanMath Because it's an infinite loop. Which part of your code is checking if the loop should continue?

Calvin's Hobbies

@El'endiaStarman Happened day before Paris attacks so naturally Paris is the newer news. But yes, it has been widely unreported.

2015 Beirut bombings

On 12 November 2015, two suicide bombers detonated explosives in Bourj el-Barajneh, a southern suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, that is inhabited mostly by Shia Muslims. Reports of the number of deaths range from 37 to 43. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks. The bombings are the worst terrorist attack in Beirut since the end of the Lebanese civil war, just 12 days after the bombing of a Russian airliner over ther Sinai Peninsula and one day before another attack by ISIS in Paris which killed 132 people. Around 48 hours after the attack, Lebanese security forces arrested 11 people, mostly Syrians...

TanMath

@Dennis the last... The minus part.. It keeps minusing til it becomes zero

Seadrus

People are terrible things

TanMath

11:13 PM

@Seadrus you are an evil AI along with @Geobits!

@AlexA. Admit you are wrong!

Seadrus

@TanMath Of course. We all know that @Geobits it's is a down-voting bot. :P

Alex A.

@TanMath No thanks

TanMath

@Seadrus and you too

Alex A.

@Calvin'sHobbies Didn't even know that happened, unfortunately. :/

Seadrus

@TanMath and you too what

TanMath

11:15 PM

@AlexA. destroy him by admitting!!

Alex A.

Why would I want to destroy Geobits?

Seadrus

@AlexA. Yeah, don't kill me Geobits

:P

TanMath

@Seadrus aha!

Seadrus

@TanMath .... it's crossed out, so it can't be true

TanMath

@Seadrus you are an evil AI as well?!

@Seadrus but you wrote it!

11:16 PM

I tried porting my code to Seriously... It ended up longer O_O

Seadrus

@TanMath Of course not! Why would I be an AundefinedI bot?

@Seadrus you are a robot! Admit it!

The super-tall text is annoying though, because it overlaps other messages

That's why when I do it, I limit it to like 3-5 characters above and below

It's like 5010 bytes then :P

@Seadrus Not that big? It is a big deal when 130+ civilians are gunned down and blown up in one of the world's most famous cities. It will affect global policies, it will be in history books, it will be remembered forever.

Seadrus

i thought it was only 60 .-.

> only 60

Calvin's Hobbies

@Seadrus 132 I believe, with hundreds more injured and many in critical condition

Alex A.

@Seadrus Would that make it any less tragic?

Seadrus

11:26 PM

@AlexA. people die all the time

@Seadrus ...they do, but not of others' will.

Alex A.

Yeah, but not always innocent bystanders in terrorist attacks.

Calvin's Hobbies

But not with planned attacks of guns and bombs. Yes, cars and cigarettes kill more, but that's not the point.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Hi

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@SuperJedi224 hey there.

Are we talking about the end of the road here?

TanMath

11:32 PM

@Dennis so?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

At a place where one cannot discuss mere politics? :P

Seadrus

what. people die. thats it.

Calvin's Hobbies

@Seadrus The point as I see it is that it's important to remember these kind of things. If they don't affect you they still affect the world. Your kids might ask you about them someday (especially if the war against ISIS escalates) and what will you tell them? I wish I had learned more about 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq when they we're happening. It's history in the making here, tragic fascinating stuff, important to know for educated world citizens.

@Seadrus you are a robot

@Calvin'sHobbies That's damn powerful stuff there. :)

Seadrus

11:34 PM

@Calvin'sHobbies your point is exterior, for the sake of knowledge. it wont help me survive, so i dont need it.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Seadrus Unless if an ISIS person comes to your house :P

Calvin's Hobbies

Well you don't need PPCG to survive either

Seadrus

that is a choice.

Alex A.

You can choose not to let tragic events affect you, but one should acknowledge that they affect many, many others, often on a global scale.

2

Seadrus

and thus you should acknowledge every persons death?

SuperJedi224

11:41 PM

Goodbye guys

Alex A.

No, that isn't what I'm saying. I'm saying that, in general, people should acknowledge the tragic nature of such events and that they affect other people.

@SuperJedi224 See you later!

Seadrus

im just saying i dont think its a big deal

Alex A.

You're entitled to your opinion

It differs from my own

That's all
