Q: New tag proposal - anarchy

somebodyThis is not to be confused with anarchy golf, which it is named after. This tag means that each language has its own leaderboard, and the leaderboard will not only list the answerer, but any editors as well. This can be overridden by a statement with a specific format at the very end of the post:...

@zyabin101 what a nice name :D
 
@Katenkyo You replied to the Dennis bat signal.
 
@zyabin101 Because I usually reply by pinging, and not by linking to a message ^^
(not having a mouse can make "replying" to a specific message hard)
 
@Doorknob really? When was that?
 
8:30 AM
^^^^^ is the Dennis bat signal. Just post it in comments or in chat (the latter sometimes works). Dennis will come and help you.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

PyrrhaChallenge about juicing avacadoes quickly (temporary title) code-golf Description In this challenge, you have a field of avacadoes which you would like to juice as quickly and completely as possible. You have several juicing tools of various sizes, but you can only use one of them at a time. ...

 
9:29 AM
Forgot about @Doorknob's "STOP CHANGING YOUR NAMES"
@VoteToClose can I translate Vitsy to my language?
 
9:57 AM
@zyabin101 Depends on what you mean by "translate".
Link to your lang?
 
@VoteToClose Python.
 
Umm... if you mean "port", I was hoping to do this myself. If you'd like, you may implement it. I don't have a problem with it. Send me some pull requests, I'll make sure it works right. :D
 
So, this implementation of Vitsy in Python is based on making objects of states of the program.
 
 
1 hour later…
11:30 AM
@zyabin101 As it stands, this is not Vitsy syntax, it's generic stack syntax (that supports hex)
 
I'm still adding commands.
 
Just found out my Mathematical Computing course has upgraded from FORTRAN to Julia this year fistpump (@AlexA. I'll finally understand your golfs)
 
@zyabin101 I suggest making the data types before making the syntax - the syntax relies heavily on various different data structures.
 
 
1 hour later…
1:01 PM
@Sp3000 why Julia?
I mean, its high level and all, but its not exactly common
 
It's a course on numerical analysis and such, so I can kinda see why?
Speed's probably the other thing
 
1:41 PM
Hello I have quetions how does juice an avocado I have try for thirtee minutes and no juic. I try alredy. thank
 
@Mego Could I make a challenge based on your holy number? :)
 
2:01 PM
@Doorknob should we try again? I would love to help if I could. Especially because that was a year ago and we've graduated now.
 
@Katenkyo The sequence or Mego's user No.?
 
@zyabin101 The sequence ^^
 
2:34 PM
How is Mego's User ID holy?
@ASimmons ask avocad master Alex
 
@ASimmons flag as off-topic
 
@EasterlyIrk it isn't, it contains a 1
 
@zyabin101 That is more on-topic than many posts in here. Flag declined :P
 
@Bigtoes I wish there was an appeal flag feature.
 
You can always take it to meta ;)
 
2:38 PM
We need a supreme court for flags
Should gay flag marriage be allowed?
 
Is that one with sour cream?
I can imagine the protesters now: "god hates flags"
 
@zyabin101 avocad is on topic
@Rainbolt How does that work?
 
@EasterlyIrk Link to policy?
 
@Dennis Can you pull 05AB1E?
 
You merge 2 flags like accounts?

I flagged as not an answer. It didn't fit too well, but that is pretty much the best description.
 
Maybe consider doing a Core War Koth?
 
@EasterlyIrk That's what the custom field is for. Not an Answer is for something really different, and will usually get declined on posts like that.
 
2:48 PM
Okay.
 
It's already got two delete votes, so it's probably only a matter of time anyway, fwiw ;)
 
VoteToBurn
 
@AandN Pulled.
 
Thanks :)
 
@VoteToClose does it turn out that mathematica has a different set of definitions of which countries border each other?
 
2:51 PM
@zyabin101 We had one some months ago.
 
@ASimmons Yea, that's the main issue. It's been posted by four different people now.
 
@Zgarb Link?
 
@Bigtoes are there other issues? Would it be best to leave one as a heavily downvoted answer to discourage other people from picking the "low hanging fruit"?
It might not be obvious to the "solvers" that their list acts differently
 
@zyabin101 I'm on mobile, but search for "nano core war" and it should come up.
 
2:54 PM
@ASimmons I'm normally a fan of that in a lot of cases, tbh. I'm not sure on this one, simply because it looks so effective and it's been in HNQ. Drive-by upvotes can cancel out the "heavily downvoted" part pretty quick.
 
@Bigtoes 5*
 
@VoteToClose What happened to the fifth? I only see four deleted ones.
 
I'm an idiot

@ASimmons The best solution is to delete it and maybe add a note in the question about Mathematica's map not being exact
 
@Katenkyo That sounds like a decent solution
 
2:57 PM
@VoteToClose flag to moderators
 
Flag as what...?
I'm gonna start flagging fake "flagged" comments as spam :P
 
Anyone know what specifically is different about Mathematica's inbuilt map
 
@Bigtoes flag for moderators to review this chat message
 
For what purpose? It's a pretty standard thing to say.
 
3:02 PM
@Bigtoes It may be offensive to others.
 
So what exactly do you think this sandboxed post needs?
 
> Do you have a flag? No flag, no country. Those are the rules I made up just now.
 
A normal chat user is not "an idiot".
 
@SuperJedi224 bad link

3:03 PM
(Oh right I deleted the post temporarily while I work on finishing the specs)
 
@zyabin101 What makes you think VTC is a normal chat user?
 
Also it got three downvotes before I deleted it because people thought the specs at the time were too broad
 
^^
@SuperJedi224 repost?
@SuperJedi224 I can help clarify but need something to work from.
 
I was about to post it as a gist so I could show it to you that way
 
3:04 PM
okai pls do
 
@Bigtoes Every chat user here follows the rules: Be nice.
 
@ASimmons From the comments at least, Russia -> Turkey, Germany -> Liechtenstein, some spelling differences (like Ivory Coast), etc. There may be more, those are just issues mentioned.
@zyabin101 If you actually think it's offensive, then actually flag it and let it get declined.

@Bigtoes I don't actually think it's offensive. I was being sarcastic...
 
@SuperJedi224 eh, still too broad as a topic.
Needs some serious strict rules.
@Bigtoes make a joke to restart chat.
 
3:24 PM
@EasterlyIrk RELOAD!
 
I'm not sure what you mean.
 
nothing happened.
 
I'm not Duga.
If you want the actual Duga, with the actual RELOAD, ask Quill.
 
what?
 
@EasterlyIrk Actually, you don't need to.

Hmm. Has anyone else noticed odd lines at the end of every MathJax snippet on the network today? I'm guessing it's a Chrome bug in a new update or something, but it's weird.
 
Others, too, that's just an example.
 
Hmm
 
Is there a random SE site button?

Very nice!
 
Thanks for your anagram and the notice in your profile about us.
@PinCrash ^
 
Pleasure :D
 
4:16 PM
is it allowed to be in here without an anagram name anymore?
 
@quintopia if you must... ಠ_ಠ
 
@quintopia Perhaps I should change my name to "Main Moss"
 
i just find it confusing when everyone's name is different
but i could be "I quip a ton"
 
Quit Piano
 
...i did that two decades ago
 
4:20 PM
Those are... actually pretty good :o Wouldn't recommend actually changing though :P
 
yeah it's already too confusing
 
@ASimmons You could definitely do worse than that lol. But it would be pretty vulgar.
 
one at a time would be okay, but everyone at once...
 
But "Helka" isn't anywhere close to an anagram for "Calvin" ...
 
"Mom's a sin"
 
4:21 PM
@PinCrash I'm not seeing it
 
in mom ...
 
@BogSite hahahaha
"mom"
 
@PinCrash it was perfect

@TimmyD I'm not gonna pull a Helka, don't worry.
 
@Roujo what city
 
@quintopia Montréal ^^
I get the feeling you're not too far from here
 
@Roujo very far, actually, but i know people up that way
 
tac
4:25 PM
I'm Canadian but I live in the 'states, so either Ontario, CA or New England USA
 
@quintopia Oh, okay =)
 
@tac what's up with "'states"
is it short for "apostates"?
(that's what isis would say, i think)
 
I'm also Canadian, lived in Montreal for a good while before moving to USA
 
That's nice ^^
 
@PinCrash what'd ya move for?

@Rainbolt you didn't say it. Me and @BogSite did. Less than an hour ago.
 
@tac That isn't no reason.
 
@Rainbolt Yes.
 
@EasterlyIrk Says the guy with an anagram name right now?
 
tac
@quintopia oh, i misread
 
5:21 PM
Of what is @EasterlyIrk an anagram?
 
Uh, lemme find it.
Something with 'riker' in it IIRC.
 
tac
@EasterlyIrk oh, sorry :c
 
@quintopia It's more important if I say it

@wizzwizz4 it's an anagram of cat, which is my nickname, and both tac and cat are handy unix tools c:
@Rainbolt doesn't match some real, in-use addresses though ;(
 
@tac doesn't there need to be a TLD in all real-world cases
 
@tac What's one that doesn't match? I'm just curious
 
@wizzwizz4 is that.. is that really minimal?
 
@ASimmons Golf it and see...
Wait, no. Post a question and see.
 
@wizzwizz4 I'm pretty sure that prints out "Hello, World!" when run in Perl.
 
5:35 PM
Isn't that what all perl scripts do?
 
Eventually.
 
@BogSite No. Perl is Turing Complete. This means that it can print other things too.
 
Some of 'em print other things first.
 
tac
@quintopia ehh, I don't know, last time I read that question there was a comment saying that you shouldn't try to be specific with the regex, just ensure there's an @ and let the Email library do the rest

I like "pics or it happened" better.
 
But Pi doesn't contain all possible strings of digits

It originally was about a statement like "if there are infinite universes, then there's one inside of which you're in a relationship with [some celebrity]"
 
@Roujo That's the one I live in, though, so no epiphany gained.
 
And it devolved into discussions about pi and infinity in general, which always makes for nice intuitive conversations - especially online
@BogSite Well one in which you're not in a relatioship with said celebrity, then =P
 
@Roujo Not necessarily. 0.01001000100001... is easily shown as infinite but doesn't contain any of the digits 2 through 9. Hence where normality comes into play.
 
@TimmyD That was pretty much my point back then, but it didn't take =P
