So order 2

Well, one potential first step would be to prove or disprove the existence of fixed points.

(Other than 0.)

What do you mean by fixed point?

A number generates itself.

So you mean the prime that the process terminates with is the same as the input?

Prime inputs have order 0

Right, I mean a composite number that is the same as its distinct prime factors concatenated.

Also, the fact that this is base-dependent makes this a bit messier.

Oh, that would be interesting to know, just in general.

Heya

El'endia you need a hat.

Wow, I posted that Math.SE question just about 15 minutes ago and it already has 6 upvotes and 1 favorite. :O

speaking of math...

(amazon.com/gp/product/B00JD1LBBY/)[This] is a great book.

whoops

@anOKsquirrel I do have one. Look closer.

@AlexA. Pretty sure some of those upvotes (like mine) are because you posted it in here. :P

oh.

@El'endiaStarman Haha that's probably the majority of them

@anOKsquirrel Your afro is inferior to mine.

Mine grabs my messages.

It's beautiful.

@FlagAsSpam hmmm, no.

I'm going to learn Hexagony now.

@anOKsquirrel Good luck

dangit :/

Your link syntax is backwards

it always is :p

[text](URL)

so I can do (this)[codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/66708/… in hexagony

still no?

this

heh mine was backwards

heh

heh

heh

heh

Dang, "heh" backwards is "heh".

whoa.

Recursive "heh".

heh

ohoho

"Gnad" is "dang" backwards.

"gnat" is "tang" backwards.

no...

That would be "danG"

Gnat is inverse tang.

@FlagAsSpam Palindromic Santa Claus

tang^-1(x) = gnat(x)

Also - I was the 1500th voter on the FAQ for SE.

gg?

@FlagAsSpam Not necessarily. Have you checked the vote breakdown? Surely there are at least a couple downvotes.

@AlexA. I can't. xD

I would but I can't.

I don't have enough rep :/

I can't either.

why not?

I don't have enough rep on Meta.SE.

does anyone?

> Alex A. feels our pain.

+1510/-10

Dammit.

Reminds me of youtube.

There's a Chrome extension that lets you see the vote-breakdown.

"first!!!!1" "actually, this has 1,000,000 views already."

@El'endiaStarman o-o

I wonder if people could commit point fraud by contributing a little bit with a bunch of accounts to get them able to vote and then make them all upvote all of their questions and answers.

Easy way to get banned

The SE system looks for that already.

How does it detect it?

Exact details are purposefully kept secret.

Makes sense.

IP?

I bet it's done with graphs!

or something

as in, graph theory. Not a chart.

@DanTheMan I just realized that you're a dinosaur, not an ostrich.

just some clever heuristics and common sense

I'm sure you could base it on the rate of upvotes, but you could probably make the bots stagger it.\

They could use what users each bot upvotes.

@DanTheMan That's called serial upvoting, which is caught and reversed automatically. It's also sock puppet voting, which warrants nuking all sock accounts and suspending the primary account.

I bet they use what users the bot upvotes, and if it's only one it bans?

ninja'd

If all of the upvotes pointed to one user, then that would be a telltale sign.

Hi

as said by me, two posts ago

hey jedi

> Golf Me a Sock Maker!

What, like a sewing machine?

That was my point. ;D

Does anyone know how to run a program on Mac from a terminal, without its stdout going to that or any other terminal?

/dev/null or something

exec something > /dev/null

bearmonkey'd

myprogram > /dev/null

git ninjad

git gud

git bearmonkeyd

I didn't think that was going to help but it actually does. Thanks!

...he just made the splitter.

git push it real good

> lagAsSpam

:p

Although in chat, I am:

> FlagAsS

At least on my screen.

flagAsSp

@FlagAsSpam Gonna flag that as spam

@NinjaBearMonkey ಠ_ಠ

do it

Wait, what am I saying

Don't do that

Ooh.

This donut thingydoingy is interesting.

I already flagged all of his answers

I'm now attempting to make my hat as obtrusive as possible.

@Mego I will not change myself to be accepted by society! D:

How is that inappropriate? xD

Maybe a more constructive Username (PostUsefulAnswer, ImprovePostByEdit etc.)

xD

@Mego I was thinking something similar.

Sometimes, I wonder what people actually consider what they post on the internet.
