Also, side note: Doorknob's post about graduation is not going to get as many stars as "okay seriously stop abusing stars"
 
It's getting close...
 
For what it's worth, I starred both Alex's .Trash/ and Conor's riposte because they were both pretty funny and clever. :P
 
@mınxomaτ Image not found
 
10:02 PM
@mınxomaτ hahahaha
 
@AlexA. I doubt that it would get two stars if it wasn't found.
 
For me it says not found but when I click on it I get to the actual image, which is funny
Lewd, but funny
 
your mom jokes = comedy pyrite
 
afaik that comic strip stole the idea from an older one...
 
waits for people to get subtle joke
No one got it. I made it too subtle :/
 
10:07 PM
Here we go.
 
Pyrite is also known as "fool's gold"
I.e fool's comedy gold
 
@AquaTart Or "cat's gold" in Germany...
 
Clearly my humor is too highbrow for this fiendish world of disapproval and lenny faces
 
*comedy fool's gold
 
10:10 PM
Woah, @undergroundmonorail flew in at the speed of... a train.
 
undegroundmonorail joining broke chat for me for a second :(
 
Sorry dawg
 
Come over to

 VitsyJS

For VitsyJS.
 
run it's the attack of the long usernames
 
@AquaTart I got it. I was just not in front of the computer at the time. :P
 
10:11 PM
@El'endiaStarman <3
 
Is anyone working on an ooo answer to the ooo translation challenge? I only ask because I'm very very close to a working answer (I probably only need 10 minutes to make it complete) and I'm proud of it, but I'm not going to be able to get back on the computer for like 4 hours and I'm worried someone will beat me :p
 
You guys ported Vitsy to JavaScript?
 
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, we're working on it.
 
10:17 PM
cool
 
@flawr ...what's with so many airplane crashes?
 
Is this not something you're used to by now?
 
@VoteToClose Well those super stol competitions are really prone to crashes and almost-crashes.
 
In Python, is x[i::i] every ith element of x beginning with element i?
 
x[::i] if you want first to be x[0]
syntax is array[start:end:step]
 
10:22 PM
you've scoped into the variable i in the namespace i and you should be ashamed of terrible names.
 
I didn't write it
So I regret nothing
 
^was a terrible C++ joke
does python even have namespaces?
 
it has modules
each file acts like a namespace
 
does it use the same scope operator?
 
no
that's array slice syntax
it uses . for everything like all sane languages
 
10:25 PM
All sane languages?
C++ uses ::.
 
. is the method operator
 
C++ isn't exactly sane
3
 
in every OOP language?
 
It's good, but it's crazy.
 
rust uses :: too
 
10:25 PM
also, the class/namespace/property operator
 
because it really wants to be C/C++
 
@Liam Nope, php.
 
you mean rust wants to be php?
 
No, i answered to your questio nabout the . operator
 
Oh php doesn't use . as the method operator?
I've never used php
 
10:28 PM
$my_object->myvariable
@Liam Best if you do not change that.
 
haha that looks annoying
I guess other oop languages use . to scope into struct/classes
so . is sometimes similar to ::
 
in normal languages . == ., . == -> and . == ::
 
in abnormal languages . := ., . := ->, and . := ::
and we use the oxford comma
 
This is my new programming language ^_^
 
looks pretty cool (<-- mostly just loves gifs)
 
10:35 PM
If you're making it a golfing language, you might need some better optimizations. :P Right now, it's a bit verbose.
 
@VoteToClose It's not a golfing language ;)
It's based on a playfield.
 
@Dennis On my next update, I'm going to change the location of the VitsySafe.jar file. Can you pull, and then update TIO?
 
@Liam If Rust wanted to be C++, Mozilla wouldn't have made Rust; they would just use C++.
 
It wants to be a safer version of C++
 
compile time checks for days

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Fricative MelonPseudo-random Number Shuffling code-golf You have a deck of cards, consisting of cards with non-negative numbers on them, and you haven't shuffled it yet, and no player trusts the other players to be fair at shuffling. You devise a way to shuffle the deck that is completely deterministic, but c...

 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ whoaaaaaaaaaa
 
@AquaTart What?
 
What's the code for that?
The rectangle generation like that.
 
10:49 PM
Oh, the boxify?
 
Yeah.
 
I'm pretty proud of that myself :)
one sec
 
This is jump, right?
 
Looks like it could be good in ASCII art challenges.
 
10:50 PM
function boxify(arr,d,desig){
	desig = desig || "X";
	var res = [];
	for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
		res[i] = [];
		for(var j=0;j<arr[i].length;j++){
			if(arr[i][j] === desig){
				var k = [
					arr[i-1] && arr[i-1][j] === desig || 0,
					arr[i+1] && arr[i+1][j] === desig || 0,
					arr[i][j-1] === desig,
					arr[i][j+1] === desig
				].map(Number);
				//console.log(parseInt(k.join(""),2),k,arr[i-1] ? arr[i-1][j] : null);
				k = parseInt(k.join(""),2);
				// above, below, left, right
				if(d){
Sorry mobile people.
 
I meant the code in jump. Sorry :P
 
Holy hell that's a lot of indent.
 
@AquaTart Oh, I'll make a github repo in a little bit.
@AquaTart That's what I'm hoping.
 
/me waits for Alex to ಠ_ಠ
 
The language I'm using doesn't have regex, only parser combinators, so my oOo program is 200+ long :( It's also verbose, compared to all these languages made for golfing
 
10:58 PM
@RenderSettings Good thing competitions are really language-specific - the "winner" isn't really a winner. They're just the shortest overall. A code-golf is to see who can make it the shortest in each language, and what languages have specific qualities that can help them in those challenges.
 
@TogaDown in case you overlooked it, it's still not clear whether empty objects and arrays need to be supported (+test case), and whether we can put spaces after commas in arrays that span multiple lines
 
@VoteToClose I've never submitted an entry here before, just lurked and did them by myself. Is there a point to submitting to a question that already has super short solutions?
 
@RenderSettings Can't you invoke libraries like PCRE?
 
Nope, no FFI.
 
FFI?
What lang are you using?
 
11:00 PM
foreign function interface, for calling external librarires
Hoon :p It's the language in Urbit
 
@RenderSettings Yes, if you have an alternate algorithm, even if it doesn't win for your language, still posting it provides another method of doing something. :) Welcome to PPCG, enjoy your stay. :D
 
Haha, thanks
 
Yes, enjoy your stay, because you're never leaving. Muahahahaaa...
Wait, did I say that out loud?
 
kek @El'endiaStarman shhhh... ;)
 
11:06 PM
hahaha
 
Anyone here know how I can implement int cx = x/16 == floor(x/16) ? x/16 : floor(x/16) in Rust?
 
@RenderSettings How do you have chat privileges? I don't see you has having any posts on all of SE.
 
51 rep on area 51.
How fitting.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ But no rep activity (⚆_⚆)
 
11:17 PM
Now does this look ready to post?

I'm going to write a challenge that asks the user to do calculus, and require the answers be in BF
 
> 2016
> Still can't create a Windows folder called "con".
 
whoa why is that?
 
Ancient device driver issues or something
 
11:29 PM
@El'endiaStarman ಠ_ಠ What am I ಠ_ಠing at?
3
 
No one registered ಠ_ಠ.com yet. Disappointing...
 
@AlexA. Conor's tabs.
 
@mınxomaτ do it
 
@mınxomaτ When I hover over that, it shows xn--_-ncfb.com.
That's probably why no one has registered it.
 
@Maltysen Lemme see if I have enough leftover free credits to register that domain.
 
11:33 PM
@El'endiaStarman It seems that Conor will never learn the One True Way of Indentation™.
 
I don't think you can have underscores in domain names...
 
ಠ.ಠ.com
 
\o/
 
@VoteToClose Uh, to be honest I didn't know I needed any rep to chat here. So I guess that's lucky. I don't use stackoverflow that much.
 
Sadly ಠ_ಠ is not a valid domain, since ಠ can't be followed by a _.
@RenderSettings How did you get your rep though? You rep tab says "no activity".
 
You know you're doing something wrong when you generate a list of prime numbers and it contains 4.
 
happened to me yesterday with 6 instead of 4
 
You know you're doing something wrong when you generate a list of prime numbers and they're really the last digits of pi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@mınxomaτ I think I have 1 post on area51 for a now defunct trial site from a couple years ago
 
11:38 PM
@RenderSettings What was it.
 
roblox
 
I am really excited about this language.
 
what should i post a bounty on
 
nothing
 
i want to tho
 
11:42 PM
Don't unless it is really nessacrary.
 
@Seadrus don't
^^
 
and who tf are you anyhow
 
RikerW
 
> nessacrary
 
11:42 PM
@mınxomaτ I know.
I hate that word.
 
I feel ya
 
@Seadrus Language is not all cusswords you know.
@mınxomaτ I hate english in general.
 
@EasterlyIrk your point
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ link?
 
@EasterlyIrk None yet.
It's still in a dev stage
 
11:44 PM
okay.
 
omigosh I left it running and it's really cool
Time to try out a cellular automata
 
How are you testing?
 
I have a little webpage locally hosted
<dksddhukshdhdhwwhsssdwwududusuaausududussuauauauauauau>
(sorry just using that as an external clipboard)
 
okay
@VoteToClose how to pop from the stack?
 
11:47 PM
I remember asking that question myself XD
 
ugh I hate geometry tests
 
Sam
Hello
 
Hi there
 
Sam
11:55 PM
what chat even is this?
 
This is for Programming Puzzles and Codegolf, or codegolf.stackexchange.com
 
As it says in the room desc
 
Ugh I want to change my name to A Nerd - I but I have to wait 3 days ಠ_ಠ
 
Sam
what is codegolf.stackexchange.com?
 
11:59 PM
@Sam An SE site for programming competitions such as code golf.
Code golf is a challenge where you attempt to solve a given problem in as few bytes of code as possible.
