is there ever a case where a "relationship" is between 3 or more items?

@cat :) Do you have a particular preferred pronoun?

@NathanMerrill It's called a love triangle

aka "1 of X is related to 1 of Y which is related to many of Z"

-.-

while databases don't natively support that, is it useful?

@AlexA. she and they are both okay ^.^ thank you for asking, I appreciate it :)

@cat No problem! That's good to know.

@QPayTaxes the cat hive mind

TIL @cat controls all cats with her mind

@QPaysTaxes {insert link to very-related English.SE question}

@AlexA. they are all my disciples

@QPaysTaxes It's like feeding her cat treats

@QPaysTaxes I do! Sshh, don't tell the users!

@AlexA. purrs =^.^=

What about the kitten command?

my babies who are learning to cat, of course

D:

@QPaysTaxes how can YouPaysTaxes if your SSN is java.lang.NullPointerException??

I'd post the link to the challenge but I'm on mobile

strawpoll.me/7367064/r o.0

ok, time to make SSN part 2

I actually use the Perl solution because tr A-Z a-z takes too long to type

o.o

Option I don't have an SSN seems to be missing.

@Downgoat can i just give you my PayPal creds instead, or... ? Do i have a choice... ??

strawpoll.me/7367116

@Downgoat why

"avocad"

@cat bank detail will werk to

@AlexA. ONLY for educatinl porpoises.

oic

Gotta learn them dolphins good

@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ

dolphin =/= porpoise

@Downgoat I'll give you my unusual. Hats > credit card numbers

@Downgoat yet

@quartata okay. Steam is "Downgoat"

@Downgoat Dolphins are porpoises

green energy magnificent mongolian

@AlexA. also, you are not learning the dolphins. It's for the porpoises who are very educational

@quartata Excuse me?

@Downgoat for the porpoise of edumacayshun?

wat is edfeuefwamafcasdygsgdhgun

@AlexA. Green energy = effect Magnificent Mongolian = hat

@Downgoat watching you edit that was very entertaining

@quartata This is not any clearer

^

@QPaysTaxes ok

stil vrey cunfoozd

...is this English or not? I can't tell.

@El'endiaStarman no we're now speaking dumbgoat

no :c

@QPaysTaxes ;_;

@Downgoat pls help how do i education i tri to spell for thirtee minut

my arrow was 1 second 2 l8

@Downgoat English, Oedipus! Do you speak it?!

@QPaysTaxes Okay, since you suggested it, I'll delete his account.

@AlexA. mod abuse! :o

@AlexA. mod abuse eleven?

@El'endiaStarman hhahaahaa

rekt!

mod abuse ten

mod abuse--

mod abuse eleventeen

*mod_abuse++

wtf

"There are other rooms" No ಠ_ಠ

@Quill everyones initial reaction to TNB

@Quill welcome to mod abuse aleph null

i think we broke alex :c

@Downgoat it was my initial and delayed reactions to TNB

TNB: Too Nany Buns

TNB: Toe naughty bags

@QPaysTaxes Why would there be? Is its meminess older than today?

TNB: Three night balls

is meminess the right noun?

I've said this before but the Nineteenth Byte really does feel like 4chan sometimes. It's just so... random

TNB: Tug No Boat

@quartata In times like these, yeah.

@cat yeah

@quartata I'm unfamiliar with this "4chan"

And then you get those times where people are talking about math or programming and it's wonderful.

@quartata The nineteenth byte comes after the eighteenth hole :P

@quartata I do not avocad what your saying

@El'endiaStarman What inspired you to learn to program?

TNB: The [M]eme Band

hi @poi830 :D

@QPaysTaxes the ability to fly probably

@QPaysTaxes what inspired you to pay taxes?

How is it possible that you're on the internet without knowing what 4chan is

^

> 4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images

what could possibly go wrong

TNB: [I am no]t [good with acro]n [yms ]b [ut i can still try]

what went wrong with that message

@QPaysTaxes I needed an avatar for Stack Exchange and I decided to go from identicon -> lame thing -> goose -> magpie.

4chan is... 4chan. It's like the heart of the Internet

@AlexA. I don't really remember. I know I tried learning C++ and Java back when I was like 13 or 14, so I presume that must've been at the encouragement of my brother (who was 7 years older). I must've taken to it because programming is in a way like math, and a love for math had already been instilled in me by that time by my 3rd grade math teacher.

@quartata I have a basic idea of it. It's like some kind of message board for trolling or something like that, right?

@AlexA. What inspired you to learn to program?

its where the memes come from

and also much worse things

@QPaysTaxes I have faith that our mods would promptly delete it if it were posted there.

much worse things

@cat I had to for a job. Haha.

Free poll: What inspired you to learn to program?

@AlexA. is it difficult to program with claws?

Talons and no

4chan is a place where there are no rules. Except illegal stuff (primarily child porn).

@AlexA. Basically. Let's just say 4chan invented the term shitpost

my brother put x=x+1 into a computer and it worked and i was very confused and wanted to learn more

@AlexA. A book full of BASIC games to type in.

@quartata they invented it by example

@AlexA. a book about Java

My friend showed me Python in middle school and I was very intrigued, to say the least. He doesn't program much anymore :c

4chan also invented the term Internet meme. you might have heard of those

my dad got home a python programming book when I was like 8, I read it cuz I was bored, got him to install Python…

@Doorknob You saw a book and you were like "well this is some kind of book I guess I'll start computering it up a bit"

@AlexA. windows batch ;-; nuff said

^ yessss

@AlexA. pretty much

@Doorknob Sweet

I learned TI-BASIC because a couple guys in the grade up were writing programs on TI-83s. I learned Blitz Basic because my parents got me a book named Game Programming for Teens (bless them!). Then my brother (same one as before) showed me Python, and Project Euler, and the rest is history.

@El'endiaStarman A couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood

oh my god

IIRC one of said guys got in trouble for hacking. The other didn't, however. :P

@AlexA. did u just

@El'endiaStarman My mom got me that exact same blitz basic book which started my programming experience :D

@QPaysTaxes Ah shoot, got the number wrong.

@cat I am a Fresh Prince

@HelkaHomba Eyyy :D

I'm 25

I watched my dad do Perl programming when I was a toddler. When I was 6 I asked him how to Perl he taught me all his bad habits and the rest is history

@cat You're super young. :P

most people here are pretty young

I'm 17, I'm not that young... maybe...

@cat Oh, older than I thought, actually. >_>

@QPaysTaxes I was so wrong I deleted it :P

@quartata Aw

I was never really interested in hacking. I always wanted to make stuff, not break stuff. :P

that's not what hacking means >:U

true, true

I was using it in the colloquial non-programmer sense.

@QPaysTaxes and then there were three

>:

@QPayTaxes Yes he is also a PHP programmer although he wasn't back then. Java was a bad habit I picked up all by myself though

@Quill :P

@cat yer mouth fell off

>:>

>:<

My mouth is right here but it's potty

@cat oh I confused your mouth for your eyebrows

I still have that Java program I wrote for 7th grade, incidentally.

if you say it was tattooed on you, that'd be an amazing turn of events

From 2005. Sheesh. :D

@Quill Java

@El'endiaStarman it'd take up your whole body :p

I found a 10 year old incomplete C program that interfaced with some sort of serial device about a month ago

One of the reasons I decided to relearn C just so I could understand it

If I had a program tattooed on me, it'd be something in APL because it looks cool even if it does some completely inane task.

@AlexA. Oh that's even better.

@AlexA. Related

@AlexA. you could get the oneline GoL implementation

I bet there's a hardcore APL programmer out there with an APL tattoo

IFLS: You Could Soon Afford To Have Your Own Personal Satellite In Space

> Based on current costs ($60,000 to 70,000 per kilo), you could send a FemtoSat to the International Space Station for $1,000 and to low-Earth orbit for $3,000. This might not sound affordable yet, but the rise of commercial space companies could make the costs drop.

You'd have to ask NBZ.

Might not sound affordable yet?! That's like, a mid-range 3D printer!

PPCG age poll: strawpoll.me/7367215

@HelkaHomba why are there two 15s which one do I choose

@HelkaHomba I was pondering that :P

dangit..

the first one

@Doorknob The one divisible by 15

thanks

np

Apparently Microsoft are redoing powerpoint: sway.com

AFT

@HelkaHomba lel I know who everyone who voted is just by who's in chat and the ages in the results

@AlexA. It says on a lot of peoples profiles anyway

lol

@Quill libreoffice.org/download

@HelkaHomba I know. I just mean it's funny because I haven't learned any new information from this. :P

you can just edit stuff ;p

\o/ I got earth to work

Pretty sure Earth was working just fine

strawpoll.me/7367245

@Downgoat Does it move yet?

I just got randomly logged out of SE.

@El'endiaStarman a little

I have a Chrome extension that turns messed up google search URLS into nice URLS it just didn't work

@poi830 Safari

also I can't select the poll checkboxes on mobile

@quartata haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaX

@poi830 I also use safari

no firefox? es6 gets no love

@cat use babel

@cat That's because ES6 is JavaScript and JavaScript doesn't deserve love

that's actually what you type at the top of a babel document:

"use babel";
// code goes here

@AlexA. you watch your mouth beak

@Downgoat lov babel even though I have no use for ES6

^^

@cat :D

:D

@AlexA. ಠ_______________ಠ

@QPaysTaxes of course

@cat I can't understand how you could use JS without ES6

I'm going to bed, I need some sleep. Night, y'all! c:

@quartata true!

@cat o/

@QPaysTaxes why does no one trust the goat ;_;

@cat night!

@QPayTaxes no not really. === helps a bit though

Apparently, ES6 is like a huge overhaul of JS to make it way better and more sensible, from what I've been hearing about it from Downgoat.

@quartata that what you're supposed to use

@El'endiaStarman pretty much

@cat don't let the mouse 16 bugs bite

@El'endiaStarman Downgoat is trying to fill your head with propaganda

@Down

:( no ping

@AlexA. ಠ_______))___________ಠ

@QPaysTaxes Or even @QPa

I'm not going to remove the )) because it looks like a nose

@QPaysTaxes oops

@AlexA. Something more fun. Desktop background color poll

@El'endiaStarman not really since apparently you have to do Array(n).keys() to make a range

@QPaysTaxes what arrrrr u talking bout

@quartata I didn't say they fixed everything. :P

@HelkaHomba I do not know what my desktop backgroun dis

I've actually not used any ES6 myself.

@QPaysTaxes The one currently set then

@HelkaHomba I have two monitors and two different backgrounds...

my background is geno from smrpg

Black/red and gray/beige.

I guess white?

@El'endiaStarman Use the one where your first opened the poll window

@Downgoat er, sure

somebody uses the screenshot tool too much

Alright, beige then.

@Quill there is no "too much"

unless it's screenshot-golf

I'm thinking of making another programming language

this time however, the programming languages has two forms: user-friendly and 'compressed'

is the latter allowed?

@orlp is it in JS?

lol no

@QPaysTaxes Average the color and compare it to the options using some color metric if you like.

@orlp 2/10

@orlp I had that idea for Pytek but I've kinda gradually abandoned the "compressed" idea. :P

@orlp does minified fall into that category?

most languages don't have a whitespace fetish enough to minify things

well, the compressed form would have no relation to the user-friendly form, other than implementing the exact same behavior

@Dennis I'm a bit annoyed at jelly

I explored it, expecting some inner elegance from the point-free programming, but the seemingly arbitrary chain rules make me fail to appreciate any elegance

I wouldn't call them arbitrary. I just combined the train types of J and Dyalog APL, with a few minor changes.

I'm not really sure how to respond to that. In any case, I was going for short, not elegant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
