@es1024 So the grep command is counted as 0 bytes
13:16
@es1024 2 bytes of flags? What about -, E, and the space?
Isn't -E generally not counted?
Why wouldn't you count it? It's... important
@Doorknob冰 I didn't count it since you wouldn't count the -e in perl -e
@es1024 They're completely unrelated flags...
@Doorknob冰 Oh, must have confused it with grep -e...
I suppose it'd be 16 bytes then
13:30
That's how I counted it, yes

Why does my computer automatically translate "Doorknob冰“ to "doorknob ice"?

Christmas was yesterday for a lot of people btw.
I prefer to believe that everyone is in the same timezone as me
People who live on the other side of the world are actually just nocturnal
That has nothing to do with timezones.
We just celebrate on the 24th, not the 25th.
Oh, really? I didn't know that.
It's December 26 for the Pacific and eastern Australia at this point

Does anyone know what is going to happen here?

/Who decides what is going to happen?

Oh ok. The gods.
In case it is going to happen, I wonder whether it will affect the rep on the questions that have been posted before the change.
It would
> Note that the change would apply retroactively; reputation would be recalculated for all users who have ever posted a question on this site. That is, in the system, it will be like the user earned the reputation the day the upvote was given, even if it was in the past. The 200 reputation per day cap would still apply on those days though. For some users, this may result in many thousands of reputation points gained.
15:28
@Doorknob冰 Is there an "official" meta review tag? I don't see one on the question, just curious.
@mınxomaτ Yup. (Click the tag in my chat message above.)
The repuation cap is also something quite misterious to me.
I suppose the SE team just hasn't put the status-review tag on the meta post yet.
@flawr What about it?
200 rep per day max, accepted answers don't count towards the cap.
No I know how it works, but I think it does not make sense.
Oh. Yeah, there are lots of discussions on Meta Stack Exchange about that.
15:45
They could let the site mods decide that. I think they are way too restrictive with the 'privileges'.

Q: Ratio of Uppercase Letters to Lowercase

DowngoatIn this challenge you and your friends are debating on which case is better, uppercase or lowercase? To find out, you write a program to do this for you. Because esolangs scare your friends, and verbose code scares you, your code will need to be as short as possible. Examples PrOgRaMiNgPuZzLeS

@AlexA. I just need to figure out what we are going to print with it.

Hush you "hey mummy I got Onion Knight first"...
19:41
what?
quartata was the first person to get the Onion Knight secret hat.
From his profile:

Wait what. All the answers on the secret hat thread are deleted?
Sometimes (depends on the current context), numbers are represented as decimal strings internally in Perl. With the current phrasing, which disallows the 2, 0, 1 and 5 numbers from being represented as strings, Perl and pl cannot compete in this competition. I'm assuming that you meant more that they cannot be inside string literals. — quartata 2 mins ago
I taught the masses something about Perl today
I didn't say this but pl actually always parses numerals as strings regardless of context
So it was really bad for pl and only moderately bad for Perl
Although I'm still pretty sure that you couldn't print out the numbers in Perl without it converting it to numeral format internally

@mınxomaτ 100% quartata's fault.
@El'endiaStarman I love it
I do too...I'm not totally sure why, but it hits basically all of my music pleasure buttons.
which songs give you your highest highs and highest lows, consistently?
(it's like a personality blueprint!)
How do you mean? Like, songs I like the most and least?
no
songs you like the most
both for making you joyous and tearful
21:36
Well...my Favorites playlist on iTunes has 73 songs in it right now, and none of them are Christian music. Adding Christian songs would add another 20+ songs...
But for sadness...one song immediately came to mind.
@Dennis :(
I forgot Retina was a thing
Too bad pl's regex magic seems broken right now
Hmm
I participated in closing something
...the applause at the end of that video is kinda...incongruous. It's kinda a sad song!
Ah, I think this is the video I usually watch when I listen to this song. No lyrics onscreen though.
21:52
Yup
I have new hat!
Merry Christmas!
BTW your welcome for the hat. I had the 5th close vote :P
(I see there is already a highly starred Christmas message)

yupp
@quintopia I have decreased my answer for the absolute value question to 4 bytes, how can I decrease it to 3?
@quartata I don't think you need the g.
@Dennis Yes you do.
Otherwise it won't replace them all
Just the first
But -p processes one line at a time.

@Dennis Really?
Uh huh.
Would be 12 in pl but something is busted with the regex :/
22:07
I don't really understand why I need the pilcrow in Retina.
Can someone accept the edit on the challenge?
Apparently one vote isn't enough
one vote is never enough
@MartinBüttner m`[^;]$ matches empty lines in Retina. Is that by design?

@flawr ...except that I often read the transcript...(also, it was kinda obvious what you originally wrote anyway...)
I hope you did not feel too offended!
I always read history of suspicious edited messages
like Alex A. editing the bots's posts to "HI I AM BOT FEED ME BUTTER"
It was quite inappropriate. I apologize.
Whoever wrote ffmpeg was definitely a code golfer. The filter commands are ridiculously terse. hb|y/vb|a means Apply deblocking on luminance only, and switch vertical deblocking on or off automatically depending on available CPU time.

@flawr Not terribly so, no. Worse has been said.
@Dennis it doesn't, it matches the linefeed before the empty line
That should be the same in any regex flavour I know
Oh, I thought it processed one line at a time.
And I couldn't really do anything about it, because I'm not planning to implement my own flavour any time soon
@Dennis that would be horribly limiting
Although Sp suggested adding a way to do that if required
Like an option that could be applied to any type of stage
I'm not saying that it would be better; I just misunderstood how multi-line mode worked.
22:30
All multiline mode does is make ^ and $ match in more positions
I see.
Well, that is what the description says.
Don't worry, multiline mode and single-line mode confuse many people because of their rather unintuitive names
Yeah, I immediately thought it would work like perl -p.
@MartinBüttner You have Mma 10.3, right?
Only at work
At home I'm still using 10.2
22:40
Okay, was wondering if ToCamelCase was defined in 10.3
So far, it only seems to work in 10.1
It says in the docs when things were added, changed, removed
ToCamelCase is undocumented
AndItOutputsItsInputLikeThis
That's a problem
Currently using it here
Valve is having caching issues allowing users to view things such as account information of other users. Don't use Store for now.
Warning for anyone buying stuff on Steam.
22:44
@LegionMammal978 well I won't be able to test for the next two weeks
Alephalpha has 10.3
Funny, though, how that solution was shorter than regex
Isn't the pattern for that challenge just [A-Z][a-z]+?
What infernal command do you have to use for regex in Mma
RegularExpression to define it and StringMatchQ to use it.
Oh, right
That's.... fun
#~StringMatchQ~RegularExpression@"pattern"&
22:51
ew
Very verbose
Has there ever been an answer where regex was shorter? :P
It would have to be some regex...
Actually, let me look...
Is there a language that has a state-machine regex engine built-in?
This one is shorter:
1
A: Remove more than n consecutive vowels from input string

LegionMammal978Mathematica, 68 bytes StringReplace[#,RegularExpression@"(?i)([aeiou]{3})[aeiou]+"->"$1"]& Just another regex answer...

Mainly because all Mma string processing is verbose
Simple byte manipulation requires ToCharacterCode and FromCharacterCode
Just listing characters requires Characters
Every string method is prefixed with String-
So... yeah.
23:04
RegEx can be pretty verbose, too. E.g. using the BSR_ flags. Or try verifying an ISO std. URL :)
You can use the raw numbers for that
23:16
Wait, no, just replaced that answer with one of the same length that doesn't use regex :p
Just accepted an answer to get +2 to bring my rep to an even 4,500. :P
