The Nineteenth Byte

I may have to make a custom CSS sheet if I'm going to keep using SE chat

cascading style sheet sheet

@undergroundmonorail Now the "cascading" part makes sense

5

Well we all know the C in CSS stands for CSS ...

GNU's Not Unix!

8:02 PM

@Cyoce o.o

@undergroundmonorail Technically CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets" so, it's Cascading Style Sheets Sheet (a sheet of the sheets)

but what if you only have 1 css

checkmate

There is only one true css

One CSS to rule them all, One CSS to find them, One CSS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

@undergroundmonorail uh what

I like your scarf too.

8:07 PM

my preCiouSS

@MartinBüttner cool scarf

right.

listen i'm sorry you got caught up in all this silliness

thanks.

that's my bad

Exit is latin for exit. Try it on the online interpreter!

@BrainSteel In the land of Zen Garden, where the styles lie. One CSS...to rule them ALL.

Side note: Google suggested searches for "lenny" include (in order) "lenny face," "lenny kravitz," "lenny letter," and "lenny kravitz pants rip."

o-o

I don't know who he is, but I now immediately feel sorry for this Lenny Kravitz fella.

@AlexA. Oh god I just looked up that last one

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

@quartata Why would you but also what was it

Adriandmen

@Cyoce That made me laugh a bit too hard haha

@AlexA. Oh, it's that guy.

8:16 PM

Haha yes indeed

@BrainSteel use reply function pls

my eyes hurt

That involves using a trackpad. Much slower.

uhhhhhh

Isn't this invalid?

@AlexA. I don't want to say since some people here are at work and stuff

Google it yourself

"Hardcoding the output"?

8:18 PM

@BrainSteel Doorknob has a GitHub repo for SE chat keyboard shortcuts, including replies.

if you dare

@quartata I'll pass.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Shower it in downvotes if you don't like it

@AlexA. Good idea.

I just said upvotes instead of downvotes

@quartata I was wondering XD

I'm in a positive mood I guess.

8:19 PM

How it had +1/-0 is beyond me.

@AlexA. Did it really?

had being the operative word

Now it's +1/-4.

it almost feels mean

but you know

bombs away

And all those downvotes came within like 4 minutes.

As an aside, that was my first downvote. \o/

8:20 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Ever?

ಠ_ಠ

My first permanent downvote.

I think

@AlexA. Link?

@BrainSteel Aw look at that, you replied. <3

It pained me.

christ

you weren't kidding

8:21 PM

Is that me?

yeah

^_^

I'm a nice person.

Downvotes aren't about being mean, they're about maintaining site quality.

^

^^

8:22 PM

Don't be afraid to downvote.

That's me

I'm surprised there are only 470.

i don't vote enough

For real

Does that show downvotes on deleted posts?

I don't think so

8:23 PM

Almost all of my downvotes are on deleted posts

@AlexA. I think I'll spend another downvote to make my score a multiple of ten ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Adriandmen

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

good try

@Adriandmen Gotta escape the backslash

@BrainSteel github.com/KeyboardFire/sevichat

Me: 1569 upvotes, 19 downvotes.

8:24 PM

@El'endiaStarman ಠ_ಠ

376 up, 12 down

I'm on 3 down.

hey @Geobits

@BrainSteel \o/

this is a conversation you'd win

8:26 PM

I actually think Peter Taylor has downvoted more than Geobits.

oh

They're comparable IIRC though.

Chat mini-challenge (?). Given a natural number n graph a rose with n petals

I was thinking of making a full challenge out of this

graphical-output?

Or some kind of ascii-art?

@quartata do it

8:27 PM

@AlexA. Yes, graphical output.

I'm not a huge fan of graphical-output challenges usually since they eliminate a lot of languages

Same

@quartata I have a 13 bytes solution ^_^

Geobits

@AlexA. holy shit

Peter Taylor

8:30 PM

He does downvote more than he upvotes

sometimes you can smell a picture

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You do?

@quartata Yeah.

Can we see it?

@quartata Desmos

8:31 PM

Is there an online prototyping environment for tmLanguage definitions? Editing them without an instant preview is a PITA.

I'm good, I know.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ k petals

2n petals if n is even, and
n petals if n is odd.

@quartata but k is a natural number

@quartata Geobits is at about 48.1% upvotes, Peter is at 46.3%.

(percent of total votes)

They need to add chat to the SE app

8:39 PM

AFAIK they're working on providing an improved mobile chat experience.

The bird has spoken

i thought that said "the bird is broken" and i was concerned

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ So if the input is even you need to graph cos(n/2 theta) and cos(n theta) if it is odd

Otherwise it is double the petals when even

@quartata oh

darn

Desmos has modulo so shouldn't be too tricky to fix :)

8:44 PM

Yeah, but mod\left(x,2\right)

JavaScript people: What's the difference between defining functions like function f(x) and var f = function(x)?

i'm not a javascript person but i think one is sugar for the other

I've seen code which uses both.

I feel like if they were functionally equivalent, one wouldn't use both in a script.

@AlexA. The former is a unary named function, and the latter can be an unnamed or dual-named function

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ What is a dual-named function?

8:58 PM

Also, the latter is declared only in the current scope

@AlexA. You have the reference name, and the property name.

Does the former declare globally?

var f = function car(x){} has f.name == "car"

wait gimme a second

Second granted

nevermind

they're both current scope defined

So then the difference is just that the latter has a .name property?

9:02 PM

@AlexA. With the var, there's no big difference. Without, you can modify a global function. jsfiddle.net/5y9yukhu

@Dennis Oh interesting. Thanks.

And thank you too, @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ.

@AlexA. No problem ^_^ All I can do for you teaching me some R

I taught you some R? o_O

I think so?

Ohhhh CoderPad, right?

9:05 PM

Yeah!

The only R code you'll ever need to know

How to make 10% of all addition operations off by 1

Can you make that recursive?

So you have a 1% chance of addition being off by 2...

And a 0.1% chance of it being off by 3...

^

Actually, the percentages would be 9%, 0.9%, 0.09%, etc.

That could make a good challenge

9:07 PM

> Bork your language's addition functionality

APL would win of course but still

@El'endiaStarman I was thinking more like just make a function

LegionMammal978

How do you post in it?

You can't. It's a gallery.

Moderators and employees post in it but regular users can't.

There isn't really a reason for anyone to post there anyway.

Room owners too.

Oh really?

9:25 PM

That's the whole reason to have a gallery. They just can't keep us out, no matter how hard they try.

"large margin"

one stinking byte

Hi

salut

there we go.

9:41 PM

@MartinBüttner whyyyyyyyyy

;-;

Don't you have enough rep? XD

CJam cares too much about readability

@Cyoce that's why it's a beautiful language

@LegionMammal978 Pretty sure there was an option to not install games with Win 10.

@MartinBüttner but it should be the last concern in a golfing language...

But, aside from that, why wouldn't Microsoft include Candy Crush? It is a popular game...

9:46 PM

@Cyoce I'm very glad that CJam doesn't want to squeeze out every last byte at the price of usability, because I'm actually using it a lot outside of golfing.

(which I wouldn't, if the source code had to contain unprintables or stuff like that)

Really? I can't imagine it used in production code

Also, what I mean is that it uses two-letter names for functions to make it more clear what they do, while they haven't used all the one letter.

@Cyoce obviously not for "production code"

it's a great language to write simple throw-away scripts in, though

Ok

for very simple computational tasks, typing speed is actually the bottleneck.
