Right!
 
I'm playing Minecraft now. :D
 
You should totally drop that and try Nethack
 
I did try it.
Twice.
 
@Doorknob Did you vote on that strawpoll?
 
He probably voted for Perl, like a true bro.
 
@Calvin'sHobbies I refrain from participating
 
I can't select "Both" and "Alex as well"
 
Turns out that Alex is a sock of Doorknob.
 
No, they're both socks of each other.
 
sockception
 
1:06 AM
Sometimes when you're really chilly you need socks for your socks.
 
Illuminati confirmed.
 
I fail to see how this provides evidence for the existence of a secret society. That said, it does conclusively prove that Half-Life 3 will be released.

@AlexA. Which in turn confirms the Illuminati. Because there are 3 sides in a triangle.
 
@quartata Yes, Ill do that right now. Forgot about that :P
 
kewl
 
1:15 AM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You've inspired me.
 
im writing a chalenge inspired by jolf
 
\o/
What is it?
 
just w8
 
1:16 AM
ARGH
 
@quartata done. F( translates into System.out.printf(. Ill update the docs in a sec.
 
Jttllo
 
@Seadrus Well, I'll be waiting...
 
@quartata The latest commit seems to be two weeks old. Are you talking about a future update?
 
@Dennis Yes
Will be out today
i|f=java.time.LocalDate.now().getYear();F("%.1f %d\n",(3.*f-5755)/40,3*f-5720
not quite as golfy as I was anticipating, but I'll take it :P
Actually importing might be shorter
 
1:25 AM
@quartata OK. Ping me when I can pull it.
 
holy crap that was fast

I was being a shark on the new questions list.

@quartata golfing tip: you dont need the i|
 
@GamrCorps oh cool
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ literally about to implement a hex builtin for pl
Then it would be two bytes
 
@quartata Awwwww so sad XD
@quartata And it's hex characode
 
y the downvotes?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ No I know
 
1:29 AM
It would be 2 bytes in pl
 
@Seadrus because it's a boring challenge
 
^
 
òNBSP
NBSP = non breaking space
internet is being weird
 
i thought it was non-breaking space
 
1:31 AM
yeah that thing
 
@Doorknob I thought simple challenges were good
 
simple != trivial
 
I'm looking at your challenge, and I am seeing like 4 min ago, 48 seconds ago, and 2 seconds ago. Wow, that was fast.
 
@GamrCorps seems to throw an error without the i|
 
Oh @undergroundmonorail your userscript is really cool. :P
 
1:32 AM
@undergroundmonorail as demonstrated by very easy 3-5 byte answers in like 2 minutes
 
@RikerW thanks dawg
 
It's sequential!
ish
 
Why does this panel have such a high score?
 
And your profile icon is downright creepy big. P
 
@quartata Huh, its runs fine for me.... What is your current code?
 
1:32 AM

Q: Hexadecimal of a character

SeadrusGiven a unicode character C (or the first character of a string input), output that character's hex representation. Case does not matter. The output ranges from \u0000 to \u9999. Test cases A => 41 (65_10 === 41_16) ʣ => 2A3 (675_10 === 2A3_16) Ω => 3A9 (937_10 === 3A9_16) 7 => 37 (55_10 === ...

 
Okay, twice the amount of upvotes on a comment than on the answer. :P
 
@quartata OOOOOHHHHHH.... Yeah that is needed, I thought it was the capital I...
 
Thank you @NewMainPosts.
 
Congrats to @Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ for breaking 10k!

1:34 AM
@GamrCorps ah
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That makes a full page
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ \o/
 
@DigitalTrauma Hi
 
@SuperJedi224 hi
 
1:35 AM
'tis a historical moment
 
Why do they say that when you get 350 rep you can review, but actually 500 is needed to review anything?
 
@PhiNotPi Oh no! No more first page!
 
:(
 
At least he's no longer "holding us back." ;P

1:37 AM
@Doorknob wut?
 
I used to use regular languages.
 
@DigitalTrauma full page of 10k-rep users for the first time
 
Then I took a golf ball to the knee.
What have you freaks done to me.

;-;
 
wait u cant upvote ur own post?
 
1:38 AM
no of course not
 
grc
@Doorknob so we're ready for graduation then?
 
@Seadrus ...
 
@Doorknob cool
 
y not?
 
I'll post thirty questions and get 150 rep.
 
1:39 AM
Let me paint you a pretty picture.
 
@Seadrus you can't be serious
 
Suppose that I post twenty shitty answers.
Then upvote them all.
Instant mortarboard. Fun.
That was easy. Time to hit the bar.
 
@Doorknob y not a trust system
 
@Seadrus Because humans.. cannot be trusted.
 
@quartata but im not human
 
1:40 AM
Also why offer the option at all if the only purpose of it is to abuse it
 
I mean, when would you want to upvote your own post aside from cancelling downvotes on bad questions/answers or farming rep?
 
@Doorknob huhwhat
 
i ges

1:41 AM
4 mins ago, by Doorknob
@DigitalTrauma full page of 10k-rep users for the first time

@Doorknob Oh nice
 
I'm not on the first page of all time users anymore, I guess I can quit PPCG now.
 
@AlexA. says the guy whose previous message was also not a word :P

1:42 AM
!!afk eat food
 
I wish I knew how I got all this rep so I could do it again and get 10k
 
Do you guys realize how long I've been on that page?
Like my whole life.
 
@PhiNotPi since the end of the universe
 
Maybe not my whole life, but probably like a bunch of people's whole lives.
 
@Doorknob I just noticed something.
> seems to hate java
 
1:44 AM

> has silver java badge on SO
> also hates JS
> has silver javascript badge on SO
 
cue meme
 
Delete your SO account, start a new one and get a gold Ruby badge please.
This is just wrong.

One does not simply disapprove vertically
 
Boy you peeps are weird.
 
I love how when I post an answer on sandbox it asks me if I've read the other answers. It's so edgy to acknowledge that I've read the other 1900+ answers when I haven't.

lol
@NewSandboxedPosts I'm waiting...
@Doorknob @quartata I started learning perl today.
 
@Lojban people: How do you say "I don't know?"
 
1:50 AM
I don't know
 
@Maltysen how do you set a specific index of a list to a value in Pyth?

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

AmporaPrint as many numbers as you can A restricted-code challenge where you have two occurrences of each ASCII character from 20 to 7E to write as many programs as you can to print a distinct integer. For example, you cannot have T and TT to print 10 and 1010 in Pyth, respectively, as that is three o...

@Zizouz212 Welcome to The Nineteenth Byte
 
@Maltysen ah mkay
 
I disapprove

It's actually ಠ_ಠ

Syntax Error from what?

Here's another dumb question @Maltysen. How do I get the length of a string? :P

@quartata a long ruler
 
@quartata str.length() :)

Final dumb question of the night
 
@quartata strlen(s)-1

@AlexA. I wooshed

@ZachGates All of our food has been golfed to be small, so it takes fewer than 19 bites to eat a meal.
 
Let's see if I can do any 'challenges'...
I have a silver badge? o_O
 
You should make PPCG your chat parent profile
 
DON'T LISTEN TO HIM
 
@quartata yeah yeah I know
 
HE'S TRYING TO LURE YOU OVER TO THE DARKSIDE
oh wait
 
2:02 AM
My first language was Java, so I have tons of Java answers. :P
 
I actually want you to come to the dark side
Nevermind
 
@RikerW \o/
 
@quartata He is. My name will become black if I change my site...
 
@Doorknob What about those JavaScript answers?
@Zizouz212 eh being a mod is overrated
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ .i mi na djuno
 
2:03 AM
Not a good measurement...
 
@Zizouz212 yes you've almost become one of us
 
@quartata Ah, but who knows what @Doorknob and @AlexA. might do then
 
@AlexA. Thankfully! And all because of Dennis and his pioneering in odontology. His practice chewing BubbleGum helped him, I'm sure.
 
@quartata
 
I have an idea for a challenge with memes.
 
@Doorknob lol I did.
 
What single non-SE link is pasted the most in this chat?
 
What is with perl and camels???

Q: Alex-style Addition

quartataInspired by Alex's glorious Learn you an R for great good, we are going to humbly recreate Alex's "one true R program" -- but with a twist. Alex-style Addition works like this -- it has a 90% chance of simply returning the sum of the two numbers given and a 10% chance of recursively Alex-adding ...

I think this was the climax of meme challenges really
 
2:05 AM
@quartata are you proud of me?
 
@RikerW ?
@ZachGates haha
 
@quartata ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
@Doorknob Thanks!
 
@AlexA. oh god why did I say that
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ .i je'e
 
2:06 AM
@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ
 
cannot un-see (or maybe unhear)
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I get the feeling that you rarely leave when you say bye. :P
 
@AlexA. this is true :(
You guys are my friends :P
 
Thank you. :P
 
Oh, and should definitely be a thing.
 
2:07 AM
Wait, even @AlexA. is your friend? :P
No offense @AlexA.

Of course! All Birds are Dragon-friends :P
 
@quartata I started to learn perl today.
 
@RikerW good
 
@quartata Not even a thank you? :(
 
2:07 AM
@ZachGates Always ready to strike.
 
@ZachGates This is also true... slinks off into dark corner, next to Java
 
(╯ಠ ͜ʖಠ)╯︵ ┻━┻
 
@RikerW I wouldn't thank you for learning how to read or eat, would I?
 
rofl
 
Knowing Perl is basic human function.
 
2:08 AM
@AlexA. are you proud of me?
 
no
 
@quartata So @AlexA. isn't a human?
 
@RikerW He's a bird, clearly.
