The Nineteenth Byte

JSFuck is an esoteric language in which any Javascript statement can be accurately reproduced into another valid Javascript program that uses only the 6 characters []()!+. The JSFuck converter, when given an input of alert("Hello World!"), produces a block of code that is 22,948 characters long....

@ChrisJester-Young what do the numbers mean?

Bigtoes

You've never played minesweeper?

A Dong Wot

no?

Maltysen

2:19 AM

minesweeper is the best

Bigtoes

That's how many neighboring bombs there are.

A Dong Wot

oh

Chris Jester-Young

@ADongWot The in-grid numbers tell you how many of its neighbouring cells are mines.

Bigtoes

The object is to not blow up.

GamrCorps

2M1

for example

A Dong Wot

2:20 AM

@Bigtoes well I failed that pretty quickly

Bigtoes

The trick is to not click the bomby ones.

A Dong Wot

What is a flag?

GamrCorps

To flag the bomby ones

Bigtoes

Right click a spot to flag it as a bomb.

GamrCorps

so you remember

not to click on it

Chris Jester-Young

2:21 AM

I use flags purely to "clear around".

Otherwise, I play no-flags. :-P

Bigtoes

I play with blank boxes instead of flags. Much cleaner that way.

A Dong Wot

this is very difficult, is it even possible to win?

Alex A.

@ChrisJester-Young A moderator reviewed your flag but found no mines to support it

@ADongWot It does sometimes require luck, though. Every now and then you get into a spot you can't logic out of and you have to flip a coin.

@Bigtoes 50-50s are annoying, but otherwise you can use statistics to help you some.

@ADongWot Well yes. That's why they included it with windows along with solitaire. For the desk jockeys to waste time with.

Chris Jester-Young

Anyway, that video was from 1½ years ago. I play somewhat more quickly these days. :-P

@ADongWot Impossible!

A Dong Wot

@Bigtoes then they should include PPCG with windows

Bigtoes

@ChrisJester-Young What is this "without detonating more than 2 mines" nonsense? :P

Liam

they should include any programming language with windows

Bigtoes

@ADongWot Maybe now. Minesweeper started coming with windows in 3.1, so like early 90s. Before the internet was even really a thing, if you can imagine that :P

Alex A.

They should include a better OS with Windows

Oh, I didn't know we were all fans of mandated whitespace usage. My bad. I just assumed freedom :P

Doorknob

@AlexA. there you go :P

Alex A.

Thank you!

Chris Jester-Young

3:00 AM

@ADongWot Tabs are not always 4 (or 8 or 2 or whatever) spaces; it pads with enough spaces to get to the next 4/8/2/whatever.

A Dong Wot

what does kick-mute do?

RenderSettings

I like tabs much better actually, because then you can change the indentation in your editor according to preference

Doorknob

@ADongWot kicks and mutes

GamrCorps

Oh yeah, I am using a Mac, Windows PC, and a Linux all at once atm

A Dong Wot

@Doorknob but does it let them back in?

Alex A.

3:00 AM

Never

Doorknob

@RenderSettings You can do that in any reasonable editor with spaces to— ok, you know what, I'm not getting into this again :P

RenderSettings

But no open source projects use tab indentations, so I just use spaces for everything :(

Doorknob

well, all of your this.variable = variable is gone, and private variables construction is with the declaration

If it can only be computed for the subset of languages supported by that online IDE, it doesn't make a good scoring criterion.

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981's "Don't Stop Believin'", which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band's eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular...
