My grandpa has awful English and he spells "alphabet" as "alfebit."
 
Geobits's cousin
 
Hehehe
 
Do chat pings still makes sounds for everyone?
 
Yeah
You can mute them
 
Mine has not for a couple of months.
 
12:01 AM
I just always have sound off on my laptop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@Doorknob ಠ_ಠ
 
What?
 
One does not simply ignore chat pings.
 
@Calvin'sHobbies Wow, that was a hard choice.
 
@feersum Look for the volume horn next to the "All Rooms" button
 
12:02 AM
@AlexA. I don't ignore them. I keep a browser window open perpetually on my laptop monitor, so I see notifications as *s in the chat tab.
 
> when mentioned (current setting)
 
Meme coming up
 
@feersum Turn up your volume
 
@feersum Get working speakers
 
I have 1 working speaker
Is that not enough?
 
12:03 AM
 
@El'endiaStarman I figure a yardwork company couldn't do too much harm
 
Yardwork is hardwork
 
@feersum Pings require 22.2 surround sound
 
@Calvin'sHobbies It's not enough to "not do much harm"...you have to also "not let harm happen", and in that case, I think a landscaping company would not do very well. :P
 
Ok bye guys!
 
12:06 AM
Are we allowed to opt-in to stealth pinging?
 
no
 
I opt in!
 
@PhiNotPi Good question. I don't mind them if they are just occasional.
 
I won't hear a thing so go right ahead.
 
@Doorknob Might it not make more sense to only ban people for stealth pings when it is clear that it's bothering others? (Like with Sock earlier.)
 
12:09 AM
I think if there's one thing that'd be more of a pain for a dev to implement than removing stealth pinging entirely, it's making it opt-in.
 
> Their use may result in a suspension
 
@AlexA. I think Phi just meant "can we freely use stealth pings against people who won't be bothered by them".
 
Oh, I see.
 
Oh. Uhh, sure, I guess... just don't overdo it.
 
I'm running into some lag with the Scratch online editor again :(
 
12:18 AM
Dorden Alemar would be a nice character name for PPCG fanfiction
(I hope someone got it)
 
I get it :P
 
Anonymous
Too busy mathing to get it, sorry
 
@Doorknob Oh but i'm stupid, it would be Dooden
 
Now I've got it too. :P
 
Anonymous
Got it :P
 
Anonymous
12:23 AM
Would it be Alemar or Marale?
 
Marden would be a legit surname. Or was it Marsden? Shoot.
 
Dengnidoo Alemar
 
@VoteToClose I tried. Too many bytes. :(
The problem is that I don't know how many repeats of the whole sequence to have other than by duplicating it W*H times...and to do that without W and H also getting duplicated is not easy.
 
I didn't get the joke!
 
12:31 AM
Meanwhile, in minecraft: I just noticed that I accidentally put three gold chestplates in the wrong chest.
 
@SuperJedi224 That's fascinating
 
allo again
 
@quartata Hi
 
I may or may not have run into a tiny problem implementing my modification to Martin's sequence
Well, I wouldn't describe it as a problem per se
It's more like something that makes it boring...
 
Is it now totally x=y? :P
 
12:34 AM
For the numbers n < 9 the shortest base is usually n :P
So you end up with this lame 1x1 matrix
It's fine after that.
Anywho, I've made some changes to what my sequence is going to be like.
So it starts out like Martin's, but instead of transposing
It takes the top row and iterates through it
 
@Doorknob Can you make it so @Dengnidoomarale will ping all the mods simultaneously? c:
 
@quartata Uh, 8 in base 2 is 1000, which has 4 digits, which is a square number.
 
Anonymous
2^([log2(n)]+1) is the dumbest way ever of writing 2n
 
@El'endiaStarman Right, that's an exception. It still means for the rest that my method is just going to produce points at 0
As I was saying...
 
@Calvin'sHobbies oh! Hahaha

For the first element, it takes the mod (number of rows) of it and removes that row from the matrix.

For the second element, it takes the mod (number of columns) of it and removes that column from the matrix.
And so on.
 
I have still made history!
 
I think the results will be fairly interesting.
Especially at higher numbers
 
@TanMath Anyway, so, all digits have to be 1, 4, or 9?
 
Why did that just got downvoted?

Q: Find the largest prime whose length, sum and product is prime

Calvin's HobbiesThe number 113 is the first prime whose length 3 is prime, digital sum 5 = 1 + 1 + 3 is prime, and digital product 3 = 1 * 1 * 3 is prime. A prime that has these 3 properties will be called supremely prime. The primes 11117 and 1111151 are other examples. Goal Write a program that can find the...

 
@Mego Confirmed by WolframAlpha: wolframalpha.com/input/…
 
12:47 AM
But that doesn't work here because you need f(f(x/2)/2). Hmm. Maybe it does work...
 
WolframAlpha is usually not wrong
@El'endiaStarman I like this syntax too
 
I'm trying to remember what common example uses that syntax.
 
Anonymous
Let f(n) = floor(n/2). I need f(f(n))
 
Anonymous
More generally, I need f^k(n)
 
I thought of sin^2(x), but that's sin(x)^2, and I've done that with ln^2(x) = ln(x)^2 before.
 
12:49 AM
It uses the syntax but not the meaning
I think that's why people don't use that syntax
 
@El'endiaStarman Nth derivatives can have that syntax
 
I still like it
I wasn't quite sure if you meant "looks like that" or "acts like that" :P

I've seen the notation where the nesting is indicated by repeating the function name, or sometimes the first letter
