@AshwinGupta So let me get this straight. You think I submitted something derogatory about downgoat to some random cheddar form over an hour before I'd sat down in the room for the day. Does that sound about right?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@EasterlyIrk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Scrolling?

Easterly Irk

12:06 AM

oh

quartata

@AshwinGupta I started programming in Perl when I was 6. It's never too early to learn IMO

Easterly Irk

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ did you submit that?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata no wonder you've gone so wrong ;)

@EasterlyIrk submit wat

Ashwin Gupta

@Geobits I was kidding OFC =/. Remember though, people don't think straight when being accused.

Geobits

@AshwinGupta No, no. That definitely sounds like something I'd do.

@R.Kap what you mean?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Dancing people :D

R. Kap

@AshwinGupta I saved the GIF you posted

Captain Obvious

Ashwin Gupta

@Geobits you should actually make him a SE account called Minibits.

@R.Kap lol I don't care

quartata

@Geobits yeah looks like he has hair around the ears

Ashwin Gupta

it was just creeping me out so I removed it.

Geobits

Easterly Irk

Ashwin Gupta

@EasterlyIrk yeah I realized.

Easterly Irk

@AshwinGupta okai

quartata

Oh I'm on WIFi don't worry about that

Ashwin Gupta

12:13 AM

ok good

I have like a gig a month and I normally blow it away in like 2 weeks lol

R. Kap

I'm on Wifi too, so it does not matter to me either

quartata

I don't particularly mind shitposting just a comment

Alex A.

Please don't just post random GIFs in here, especially a bunch at once.

Geobits

I don't mind GIFs much either, but multiples in a row is another story.

R. Kap

@AshwinGupta You don't have wifi?

Geobits

Oops I said a baddie. Avert your eyes Minibits

Geobits

@QPaysTaxes Oh I don't curse when I'm playing him at Mario Kart. I win :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@QPaysTaxes nope. say N = 20. f(20) => 1, f(400) => 1, etc.

Ashwin Gupta

@Geobits really, goes backwards for me. I gotta let my parents get a couple wins in there sometimes. And believe me, thats PAINFUL. I gotta like drive off cliffs and into the chomper guys and stuff. Laps take like 5 minutes each.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Geobits You should take the edge off his game (title text)

Geobits

12:18 AM

@AshwinGupta Meh, I've been playing mario kart for a looooong time.

Ashwin Gupta

@Geobits lol fair enough.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@QPaysTaxes yeah, I think. is there a succinct way to do that other than mentioned?

Q: Edits of default scoring units in answers

Ever since I've been active on this site, I've usually added a score header to my answers like this: Malbolge, 1337 i.e. just a score number, with no units. My rationale for doing this is as follows: bytes is the default scoring unit for code-golf. Unless otherwise stated, the default scori...

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ doesn't this accomplish the same. int function(int param) { return param - param + 1; }

sorry wrong person, not geobits, Conor.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta nope. f(401) => 2

(I might be off-by-one)

Ashwin Gupta

12:21 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ oh.

is that not the goal?

@QPaysTaxes nope. say N = 20. f(20) => 1, f(400) => 1, etc.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

sorry, f(400) => 0, f(401) => 1 iirc

how the hell do you do the block quotes in chat...?

I'll brb, gotta get another one now.

Easterly Irk

how long have you had them for?

Ashwin Gupta

12:26 AM

5 days ish.

Easterly Irk

you get used to it a couple months in

@AshwinGupta oh, well then of course they feel weird

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I can't get braces :P

Ashwin Gupta

A couple months!!!!

Easterly Irk

yah

stahp with deadpool pls

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ y?

Easterly Irk

12:27 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ why not?

Ashwin Gupta

@EasterlyIrk fine.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Because they would snap off my tooth :P

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ um =/, I don't really wanna think about that.

Easterly Irk

why?

Life is too short for man pages, but occasionally much too short without them.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta I broke half my tooth when I was young. It was glued back on.

Ashwin Gupta

12:28 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ oh lol

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Easterly Irk

wtf

um... okai

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ well at least you don't have to deal w/ the pain :D

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta I will eventually. It's going to be capped ;_;

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ouch. I thought you dodged a bullet there.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:30 AM

I still might have! if they forget >_>

Easterly Irk

Ashwin Gupta

Doctors/Dentists forgetting things is HIGHLY unlikely. Whats even more unlikely is parents forgetting things.

Easterly Irk

My sister needs brace badly, but doesn't have them yet.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

function mayan(number) {

Ashwin Gupta

@EasterlyIrk y's that?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:31 AM

@EasterlyIrk that's the mayan thing

Easterly Irk

They took me in just to check if I needed them, and bam! 1 week later I had braces.... :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta you don't know my parents obviously

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ obviously..

Easterly Irk

@AshwinGupta ... messed up teeth....

Ashwin Gupta

@EasterlyIrk why hasn't she got them I meant.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:31 AM

@AshwinGupta ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Easterly Irk

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ nope

dang, it worked well for 33

Ashwin Gupta

@EasterlyIrk ah I see. Yeah normally you gotta be like 4-5 grade to start

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@EasterlyIrk what should it be?

Ashwin Gupta

I hate JS

this language is dumb.

Stupid filter() function doesn't even work

Alex A.

Everyone realizes that at some point

Ashwin Gupta

Makes no damn sense.

=/

boohoo :(

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:35 AM

That's not its fault, you're doing something wrong.

Ashwin Gupta

well what lol?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

show me your code in a gist or something

Ashwin Gupta

gist?

Oh like JSBIN?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

gist.github.com

or a jsfiddle or something

Ashwin Gupta

ok

jrich

12:36 AM

anyone around here got js experience by any chance

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich YES

PLENTY

jrich

got any ideas for codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/78591/…

Ashwin Gupta

gist.github.com/niwhsa9/64f9879da6a6137982d40b2efd0fe1a1

Relevant function here is the checkHit()

Doorknob

filter does not modify the original array

jrich

@QPaysTaxes ok then :(

Ashwin Gupta

12:37 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ look at checkHit() in the Alien class. Sorry, it may be kinda unreadable lol. Its being called near the bottom at update()

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich I was thinking about that. It's going to be nigh impossible, but I figured some equation trickery might be the best, hooked up with some jsfuck

Ashwin Gupta

> I have a joke on UDP, you might not get it though
< aha

jrich

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ i got 2 for 4...

Ashwin Gupta

Whats the TCP equivalent to that joke?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich oh?

jrich

12:39 AM

the problem is the reversing erroring out

the idea was kinda like jsfuck

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta filter is an immutable property. You need aliens = aliens.filter...

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ someone JUST told me to remove that in this chat =/

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich that's tough. I'd suggest a comment, but that doesn't work :P

@AshwinGupta who

Ashwin Gupta

idk I'm looking

jrich

yeah, since you need 2 chars in a row to comment >:(

Ashwin Gupta

12:40 AM

40 mins ago, by QPaysTaxes

@AshwinGupta I dunno. You might already be doing that. Try removing the aliens= and see if it works.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich Maybe multiline strings as comments?

Easterly Irk

@AshwinGupta no. She is 7th grade.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta ew. wtf @QPaysTaxes, do you even know JavaScript?

Easterly Irk

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ shit it does work

nvm

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

#fail#fail

>:3

jrich

12:41 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ yeah, I thought about that but then you need to end the string...

Easterly Irk

whatever

Ashwin Gupta

ok problem still here though

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich ugh true

@AshwinGupta same problem?

Easterly Irk

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ try \n\n\n?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@EasterlyIrk kk

Ashwin Gupta

12:42 AM

yup

jrich

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ making strings was easy, just template string and then get the char at index 1 and add it up, but it's tough to do the 12 and 3 orientations

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich Ahhhh. maybe you could abuse ASI somehow?

Ashwin Gupta

this.checkHit = function (currentIndex) {
        if(gameTime-this.lastHit >= 500)
        for (var i = 0; i < missiles.length; i++) {
            if (this.intersects(missiles[i].x, missiles[i].y, 11, 5)) {
                //alert("hit");
                aliens = aliens.filter(function(i){ return (i.uniqueID != this.uniqueID)});
                //aliens.splice(currentIndex,1);
                this.lastHit = gameTime;
                console.log(aliens);
                console.log(this.uniqueID);

anyone see anything that I did wrong?

jrich

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ what's ASI?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich automatic semicolon insertion

Ashwin Gupta

12:44 AM

ignore current index param

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

oh I know why

jrich

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ hmmmm..... did you have a specific tactic in mind?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta the function you pass to filter is not bound to the object -- thus, this is not the object. Add .bind(this) after the } in the function.

2

@jrich not really, it was just an idea.

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ok will try that ty

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

np :)

jrich

12:46 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ alright, guess this is tougher than i thought. thanks anyway tho :D

Ashwin Gupta

ah shoot

almost worked

It killed the first 3 aliens

but the last 2 don't die.

and doesn't look like the hits are being registered either =/

hmm that could be a new issue.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@jrich no prob ! I'll sleep on it and see if I can come up with anything

Ashwin Gupta

wait it worked this time

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AshwinGupta Yeah, I'm 99% sure the new code works

Ashwin Gupta

ahgghghhghghghghghghghh!!!!

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ yeah seems like it should, I'ma keep testing, maybe the last time was bugged or something.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:48 AM

@AshwinGupta Maybe. Good luck!

Ashwin Gupta

no there's a differnent problem here

I think it has to do w/ something else, hold up I'll diagnose and tell you

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

kk

Anyone have any ideas for the 10-length snippet for jolf's showcase?

Easterly Irk

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I'll help with that, you generate 3 more length 5 for FOG?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

?

Ashwin Gupta

weird. If you hit them in a certain order (which I'm still trying to figure out), one alien wont die

Easterly Irk

12:51 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ sorry typo. ' vs \n

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@EasterlyIrk uh

Easterly Irk

I am doing 1 length 1, 2 length 2, 3 length 3.....

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ is right next to each other, okai?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

wait

your doing N length N answers??

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ well ty for the help w/ filter function, that I would've never figured out in a million years XD

Easterly Irk

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ yeah

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:53 AM

@AshwinGupta My pleasure! It's a hard concept to grasp. Thank @Downgoat for a meta thanks, he taught me that.

@EasterlyIrk why?

Easterly Irk

fun

why else?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

:P idk

someone give me a random number 0 - 4000

Easterly Irk

4001

3752

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta You should of used babel. You would of never had this problem in the first place

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat why?

Downgoat

12:54 AM

babeljs.io <-- highly reccomend

quartata

@Downgoat Babel wouldn't solve anything

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ because you would then be able to use arrow functions and it'll work on all browsers

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@EasterlyIrk sorry, 0 - 3700

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ 1578

Easterly Irk

12:55 AM

hmph

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ 0.8123

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat well yeah, I guess. arrow functions don't have that problem

@Downgoat thanks!

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ np

Easterly Irk

@JSHaters: At least JS isn't as bad as:

colors.rgb("blue") yields "#0000FF". colors.rgb("yellowish blue") yields NaN. colors.sort() yields "rainbow"

Ashwin Gupta

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ okay sometimes, the alien at index 0 in the array won't die. I can't figure out why: niwhsa9.github.io/Space-War

Can I have 4 more upvotes so I can make an awesome length 8 snippet:
