@EasterlyIrk LOL

Easterly Irk

@Geobits that is just really fast?

@AshwinGupta ikr

Maltysen

@Downgoat feature request: fix the background its really distruptive

Downgoat

@Maltysen ok, will add checkbox

Ashwin Gupta

You guys know of any place where I can host an HTML and JS file for free? Then when the people link to the html file it views and runs the js?

Downgoat

\o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ I MOONED!

Geobits

02:00

angelfire.com

Helka Homba

@EasterlyIrk Ooh, mgvez.github.io/jsorrery is really cool (though I see no moons)

Ashwin Gupta

Ty

Helka Homba

@AshwinGupta heroku

Ashwin Gupta

@Geobits ill check it out ty

aditsu

@AshwinGupta jsfiddle

Ashwin Gupta

02:01

Oh JSFIDDLE!

I totally forgot about that

Downgoat

> JDFIDDL

Ashwin Gupta

I used that a few times

@Downgoat Well excuse me, we can't all be perfect goats like you...

Easterly Irk

@HelkaHomba yeah I was too busy looking at that to see the ping. :P

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta post an answer to stackoverflow with a stack snippe

Easterly Irk

BAI for DINNER

Geobits

02:02

Wait, wait. No, seriously. Use angelfire. It's like geocities. Awesome stuff.

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta haha, I'm horrible at spelling, too :P

Ashwin Gupta

@Downgoat Even I know that's a joke :D

Downgoat

:^)

Ashwin Gupta

@Downgoat Hm. I see no perv things there.

Geobits

Is that live? I don't wanna refresh unless I can moon right.

Downgoat

02:03

Fixed the problem by separately calculating and updating the positions

@Geobits yeah

@AshwinGupta ??

Easterly Irk

@Downgoat TIL moons can pass through the sun. :P

DLosc

@Dennis So what's the procedure for getting a language added to tryitonline.net? I'd love for Pip to have an online interpreter.

Downgoat

@EasterlyIrk yeah... I need to add collision detection sometime

but collision detection = slow

Geobits

My moon is misbehaving :(

aditsu

@EasterlyIrk dammit moon moon

Helka Homba

02:04

my moons are just orbiting sun

Downgoat

@Geobits what does it do?

Helka Homba

(using all default settings)

Geobits

Planet at max mass/radius/distance, delta 26. Moon at default settings, just orbits the sun a bit further out than the planet.

aditsu

@DLosc I believe the procedure is chanting an incantation to Dennis the lord of the site

2

Downgoat

@HelkaHomba that is not right :/

Easterly Irk

02:05

@HelkaHomba yahh

Downgoat

oh shit

Easterly Irk

bob and bob jr are having fun tho!

yes, bob jr.

Downgoat

nice names

Easterly Irk

Thought about himarm and himarm jr though.

Downgoat

moons are stupid

Geobits

02:06

Not as good as 'j' and 'Moon 1'

Easterly Irk

or goatsy and lil' goatsy

Downgoat

@EasterlyIrk s/Thought about/tot abot/

Geobits

goatse?

Easterly Irk

@Geobits dang, you got me there.

@Geobits um no.

DLosc

@aditsu O domine Dennis... adde meam linguam... por favor!

2

Easterly Irk

02:07

BAI for DINNER for REAL!

Ashwin Gupta

@EasterlyIrk that's exactly what I named my planets when I tried his program yesterday :D

Geobits

Umm... obvious rickroll is obvious :P

Downgoat

@EasterlyIrk /defcon = rickroll?

Ashwin Gupta

I also named one foo and the other bar.

aditsu

@DLosc it probably works better if you ping him

Downgoat

02:08

:29179921 ??

why do you hate the Downgoat ;_;

Ashwin Gupta

I clicked on your rickroll :(

3

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta @EasterlyIrk =/= Downgoat

Geobits

@aditsu If it got ten or so stars it probably wouldn't need a ping ;)

Ashwin Gupta

Don't worry, Ill get you back

DLosc

@aditsu I did, didn't I? 0.o

aditsu

02:09

@Geobits yeah that would work too

Dennis

@DLosc Does Pip have file I/O, internet access or the ability to execute arbitrary Python code?

aditsu

@DLosc you pinged me

Downgoat

crap

Ashwin Gupta

How do I do links?

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta [text](url)

Ashwin Gupta

02:09

ty

Geobits

@Downgoat Your moon is flipping you off.

Downgoat

._.

DLosc

@Dennis None of the above (yet). It does use command-line arguments and flags pretty heavily.

@aditsu I meant in my original chat message. Anyways, it worked. ^^

Downgoat

@QPaysTaxes vihan.org/p/SSS

Ashwin Gupta

@QPaysTaxes woop

Dennis

02:12

@DLosc I'm asking because that would be a security issue with my current setup. (Sandboxing is almost ready, but there are still a few issues.) I'll add it later tonight.

Ashwin Gupta

Okay, clearly I didn't get anyone :(

Geobits

Oh, I think I got moons working for once.

DLosc

Sweet! Then I can post fancy "Try it here" links in my answers too. :)

Geobits

^ Look how many moons the sun has :)

Ashwin Gupta

Shoot that looks sick

More 3d then it did yesterday

Geobits

02:13

[feature-request] This, but in 3d

Ashwin Gupta

well I mean the orbits

Downgoat

@Geobits I wish. I cannot maths 3d

Geobits

I want planets orbiting in perpendicular planes though.

@Downgoat People usually use libraries for these kinds of things ;)

Dennis

@DLosc Try it online! preferably. ;)

Downgoat

if I make it 3D the sim won't be the only thing as hot as a star

@QPaysTaxes math is not that hard, it's the rendering

Geobits

02:15

I don't think this would melt my cpu in 3d.

Downgoat

@Geobits all the current libraries are crap

Geobits

Then use future ones.

Downgoat

@Geobits it's running in JavaScript...

Geobits

Oh, right. Javascript.

DLosc

@Dennis Yes, of course. ;) ¡Muchas gracias!

Downgoat

02:16

@QPaysTaxes I would need to add shading, navigation, etc.

aditsu

@Downgoat do it with webgl

Downgoat

@aditsu WebGL is still pretty slow

Geobits

@Downgoat shading? why?

Downgoat

@Geobits then it wouldn't look 3d?

DLosc

@Dennis ... Because it's fun? (Hablo un poquito.)

Ashwin Gupta

02:17

Ok JSfiddle is not going to work

Geobits

It's not like the current 2d setup is high-end graphics.

Ashwin Gupta

the html window is way to small

Besides I want it to be easy for people to see

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta you can always host it yourself

DLosc

@QPaysTaxes Ah, like this? I just got used to @-referencing whoever I wanted to talk to. Oops.

Ashwin Gupta

@Downgoat yeah but I'd have to pay wouldn't I?

Downgoat

02:19

@AshwinGupta no, because you are hosting it yourself

@QPaysTaxes a spare computer. I self-host my website (pls no DDOS)

Geobits

@QPaysTaxes My desktop hosts files just fine.

Ashwin Gupta

Well, TBH, I have no idea how I would go about doing that.

I don't even have a domain.

@QPaysTaxes same, this isn't even my computer

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta x10 hosting?

Ashwin Gupta

@QPaysTaxes how? When its on github it only shows you src code?

Geobits

You can get a crappy domain at noip (or others like it) if you want a free one.

Ashwin Gupta

02:21

@QPaysTaxes oh shoot, just did. Is it free?

Sick

TY

Phrancis

@Downgoat Did I just miss a ಠ_ಠ fest?

Downgoat

@Phrancis yees ಠ_ಠ :P

Phrancis

@QPaysTaxes Hey!

Downgoat

@Phrancis though my ಠ_ಠ was regarding this:

43 mins ago, by Downgoat

in The 2nd Monitor, Apr 4 at 17:58, by Phrancis

I removed code-golf from it; I'm guessing roomba will take care of removing the tag?

why would you delete code-golf ;_;

Ashwin Gupta

@QPaysTaxes working on it now, I think this is what I was lookin for

Phrancis

02:22

@Downgoat Because it doesn't really make sense as a tag on CR

Alex A.

Because code golf is relevant to us

Phrancis

I didn't, I was summoned here ;D

Dennis

@DLosc pip.tryitonline.net/…

Alex A.

Code golf belongs on PPCG, not on Code Review

Phrancis

^^

Downgoat

02:24

but what if I wanted a code-golf review?

those aren't on-topic on PPCG

Geobits

@AlexA. This is relevant to my interests. Also, did you know you can make $17294756 a month working from home???

Alex A.

@Downgoat Nor are they on Code Review.

Downgoat

so they should be on-topic somewhere

Alex A.

@Geobits r u nigerian prints?

DLosc

@Dennis [snif] It's beautiful!

Alex A.

02:25

@Downgoat We have the tips tag for a reason

Ashwin Gupta

@QPaysTaxes wait, I created the gh-pages branch, but it has this weird automatically generated home page. How can I make my html file the page of the website

Downgoat

@AlexA. so it is on-topic on PPCG?

Geobits

@AlexA. fo nau yes. soon i king uv all lite tuches

Phrancis

@Dennis GTFO wat

Ashwin Gupta

niwhsa9.github.io/Space-War

Replace what with what tho?

Alex A.

02:26

@Downgoat What's the actual question?

Ashwin Gupta

Oh got you, so I replace the index.html with my file?

Downgoat

@AlexA. are code-golf views on topic on PPCG?

Ashwin Gupta

cool

Do I have to name my file index.html? Or if I delete that one and put in mines will it auto run the html?

Alex A.

@Downgoat No, I mean what's the question you're wondering would be on topic here?

Dennis

@DLosc :) If something doesn't work as intended or if I should pull a never version, just ping me.

Geobits

02:27

What exactly is a code golf review?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

is it short? (yes) you're good. (no) let's golf it.

Downgoat

@Geobits getting code-reviews but asking how you can golf your code better

Geobits

If it's just "can I squeeze some more out of this", then it's been done here before.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

It's about abusing the features of the language

Quill

@Downgoat isn't that inferred in like every answer ever

Ashwin Gupta

02:28

Btw, sorry for all the really stupid questions, consider me a dummy in these subjects. All my code expirence is self taught through this one java book and the codeacademy.com javascript tutorial so I honestly don't know lol.

Q: How can I shorten this python code analyzing a 3d grid?

My Python 3 function golf(...) should take a list of lists of lists of strings representing a solid cube and return whether there are any places in which two equal strings are directly next to each other on the x, y or z axis (not diagonally). If there are no adjacent duplicates, True shall be re...

Q: Need help golfing Python 3 code to calculate volume & surface of spheroids in <150 bytes

I want to write a function golf(C, A) that takes the height (C = 2*c) and the width (A = 2*a) of an oblate (left image) or prolate (right image) spheroid or a sphere as parameters and returns the volume V and the surface area S of the shape as tuple. The output must be rounded to two decimal plac...

code-golf math tips geometry python

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta best way to learn programming is through SO imo

Geobits

etc

Downgoat

02:29

ok

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Not googling that word right now or anything

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

self-teaching

;)

Phrancis

@Geobits Making your code as elusive and incomprehensible as possible, while still accomplishing the task, I guess?

Ashwin Gupta

@Downgoat Oh of course I used SO, I forgot about that. And the javadoc, and tutorials point. Internet resources too

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ figured as much ;D

Geobits

@AshwinGupta Googling that definition instead of asking is very appropriate ;)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:29

@AshwinGupta :D

Ashwin Gupta

True.

shoot, I just deleted my file LOL

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

A more concise definition can be found here

Geobits

@Phrancis Pfft. Nobody cares if it's elusive or incomprehensible if it isn't short :P

Phrancis

@AshwinGupta Star of shame

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

>:D

Ashwin Gupta

02:30

:(

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

no saints amongst programmers

Ashwin Gupta

I will get you conor and downgoat..

you mean high-schoolers

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Ninja-Lenny-Edit

Ashwin Gupta

U guys seniors, juniors, freshmen?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:31

#FRESHMAN

Phrancis

#OLD-ISH

Ashwin Gupta

I'll be freshmen next year.

cool

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

:D it'll be fun

Geobits

I'm roughly a junior plus a sophomore.

Ashwin Gupta

Ok gtg, will be back after dinner

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:32

a junimore?

Quill

@Geobits + 20yrs ;)

Geobits

@QPaysTaxes I like to think they cancel each other out.

@Quill No, I mean a junior's age plus a sophomore's age. I was being serious.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Geobits sounds like starcrossed love

Geobits

Yea, it's a real Capulet/Montague scenario.

Phrancis

Did I just miss an ASL-fest?

Alex A.

Quill

All of the PII are belong to me

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

15, no, and here.

Geobits

If you mean giving vague approximation of age, then yes. You missed it.

Alex A.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:36

@Dennis How many comments have you received about Jelly answers being "XX bytes in UTF-(8|16)"? I feel like I see them on almost every answer o_o

Geobits

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Like counting the grains of sand at the beach, this is a most fruitless endeavor.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Geobits Cross-diagonalization!

Or, in my case, cross-driagonalization

Geobits

I almost wish I knew what that had to do with what I said, but then again...

Dennis

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Waaay too many...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Geobits sorry, am tired

@Dennis Maybe there should be a notice in the FAQ/site orientation that there exists different code pages used throughout the site.

PhiNotPi

02:40

Math problem: Are there any three numbers A,B,C such that:
A = 1 + min(A-B+C, 2B)
A = min(A-2B, B+C)

Dennis

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Or I could just stop forgetting to link to the code page. :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

oh

Alex A.

@PhiNotPi no

Geobits

-1 didn't show work

PhiNotPi

that's what I was thinking

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:49

A = B = 2 = C = 0

Alex A.

@Geobits You sound like my professors when I would guess on exams.

Phrancis

down ~~goat~~ vote

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Phrancis you are slowly being assimilated

Easterly Irk

@Downgoat yah

Geobits

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Wouldn't that mean A = 1 + min(0,4), so not A = 2 ?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:51

@Geobits Yeah, but more directly, 2 = C = 0.

Geobits

Missed that there was an equals instead of a comma there ;)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

oic ;D

Alex A.

@PhiNotPi Where did this come from, btw?

Downgoat

A pdf just listed these numbers with absolutely no description....

PhiNotPi

^ yes

Phrancis

02:52

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I swear, I didn't do it

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Phrancis if you insist ;)

Downgoat

Does anyone know what/who "EM Bary" is?

Alex A.

@Phrancis I think you did

Geobits

Random fact of the day: "Phrancis" = "Pin Crash" In C Sharp

Downgoat

@AlexA. bit.ly link? Rickroll?

Alex A.

02:55

no

Maltysen

@Downgoat I still can't kill the background

Geobits

@Maltysen stab it harder and twist

Downgoat

@Maltysen oh, yeah, sorry. I didn't care enough to fix it

will do now

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

bai guys

Phrancis

@AlexA. of course it's rick roll ;0

Geobits

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

RUN GEOBITS AND TAKE YOUR MINIBITS WITH YOU

Easterly Irk

@AlexA. You could fix this by admitting that you're wrong. If Geobits is an evil AI like we always suspected, the paradox should destroy him. — mbomb007 Oct 19 '15 at 20:23

Downgoat

@Geobits we know Marky became sentient and took over your brain and is now using your account for evil

Easterly Irk

@mbomb007 But now you've said that, Geobits can create some form of loop counter to prevent infinite paradox evaluation. — wizzwizz4 Oct 23 '15 at 11:50
