Userscript to make everything small caps

Dennis

s/small caps/little rectangles/

Vihan

@Dennis ?

oh

actually it doesn't because it uses CSS rather than unicode

Geobits

@Vihan That's worse than varying horrible fonts :P

Vihan

@Geobits this looks beautiful

Alex A.

@Geobits Is your mom... one of them?

Geobits

03:04

@Vihan Actually, it really doesn't look bad at all when it's the whole page. I'll reserve my smallcap hatred for times when it's used among regular text.

@AlexA. You have no idea. She's going to the convention as a delegate.

Alex A.

@Geobits :(

Vihan

Conor's name is really messed up though with the double-small-caps

Geobits

Well that's Conor's fault for being different or something.

Vihan

I wonder how long it'll be till this drives me crazy...

Dennis

How dare he!

Geobits

Michigan is getting pretty close now that Detroit is starting to report...

@Vihan It probably won't. I write in smallcaps a lot of the time.

Vihan

@Geobits really? It still hurts my eyes

Geobits

It got to be a habit in the military. Forms everywhere.

Vihan

I should probably get back to work...

Q: Is it acceptable to take input in two different formats?

This isn't an issue yet, but I could see it become one sometime soon. Can I take input in two, or even more, separate formats, provided they're both reasonable formats? For example, let's say one input was from the user over STDIN and another was a command line argument. If I made that clear in m...

@Vihan You're already crazy for using smallcaps

so um

Vihan

@Mego what's wrong with small caps besides them hurting your eyes?

Geobits

So um, the new sushi place is town is great.

crayzeedude

i made a GUI wrapper (or whatever the heck you call it) for CJam. its basically like the site except for a few small things

would anyone want to help me test it.........

Geobits

@Vihan They take longer to read if used a lot, by preventing your eyes from seeing the word shapes as well.

Doorknob

@Vihan what's wrong with making every word a different font and every letter a different color?

uh, that... is unrelated

@Vihan It hurts the eyes, it hurts the sanity, it enrages the elder gods

Vihan

@Mego Now that I've made everything small caps, everything looks weird without it, so I'll be keeping it this way

Stockholm syndrome

Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon described in 1973 in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness. The FBI's Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly eight percent of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome. Stockholm syndrome can be seen as...

@Dennis How exactly do you handle CP437 on TIO? just curious

Vihan

why was that deleted?

crayzeedude

no idea

Doorknob

Alex A.

It's obnoxious

Aqua Tart

what's going on

Vihan

is this one better?

Aqua Tart

It didn't even load for me before it was deleted

Dennis

@AquaTart I convert it to UTF-8.

crayzeedude

my browser told me somebody pinged me

Vihan

@AquaTart link but I won't onebox it: i.imgur.com/uYbRtKT.gif

crayzeedude

03:24

so i tabbed over and nothing was there

Anonymous

@AquaTart The input is in UTF-8. He uses iconv to convert it to CP437 before passing it in

crayzeedude

rip

Aqua Tart

Oh, iconv? k

Anonymous

@Dennis That reminds me, I've been meaning to bug you about an issue. Seriously output is also in CP437, so the high characters aren't displaying right in the output field.

crayzeedude

welp ill be back on tomorrow

night m8s

Aqua Tart

Is there a list of supported encodings for iconv?

Dennis

@Mego Ah, OK. I'll have to account for that in the wrapper.

iconv -l

Doorknob

llama@llama:~$ iconv -l
The following list contains all the coded character sets known.  This does
not necessarily mean that all combinations of these names can be used for
the FROM and TO command line parameters.  One coded character set can be
listed with several different names (aliases).

  437, 500, 500V1, 850, 851, 852, 855, 856, 857, 860, 861, 862, 863, 864, 865,
  866, 866NAV, 869, 874, 904, 1026, 1046, 1047, 8859_1, 8859_2, 8859_3, 8859_4,
  8859_5, 8859_6, 8859_7, 8859_8, 8859_9, 10646-1:1993, 10646-1:1993/UCS4,

@Mego Those are fixed. TIO supports dingbats instead of control characters in the first 32 bytes. Should I put those in the output as well?

@Dennis I need to fork Jelly and add the second dimension into it! Into the nothing-suspecting wagon!

Alex A.

I think formatting the drive or reinstalling the OS is safer.

Geobits

That reminds me of the time I found a thing that would make all the o in DOS spin like Sonic rings. It was fun for roughly seven minutes.

@AlexA. That's reserved for when your computer is infected with something serious. Like OS X.

@Dennis Since internally Seriously uses ASCII for the lower 128 and CP437 for the upper 128, it's probably better that the control characters are kept

@AlexA. I have no clue. I want to give it a different name to distinguish it from Seriously, given that there is no backwards compatibility
