ArtOfCode

it'll get rewritten in the next recalc, though

Cyoce

10:05 PM

Writing length-n detour snippets that demonstrate something about the language is hard. Especially since they're not long enough to get into two dimensions yet.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

okay :3

Doorknob

making progress

ArtOfCode

Heh, cache expired again and deleting quartata is back on top

We must be close to 25 questions...

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode we have 25

ArtOfCode

10:12 PM

@ArtOfCode My future wife and I will be doing that eventually.

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode why are the pagination buttons gray?

ArtOfCode

@El'endiaStarman Some advice for you.

@Maltysen shruggity shrug shrug

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob what is this for

Doorknob

33 mins ago, by Doorknob

I'm making a Cyrillic keyboard cover thing out of a ziplock bag

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob Oh, interesting.

Maltysen

10:14 PM

@Doorknob I believe the proper term is "keyboard condom"

Helka Homba

@Doorknob Typing through plastic seems annoying

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode also, I can get around min char limit using spaces

and your site edits it out for me

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen Yeah, I need to exclude those

user207712

@Maltysen must leave this room. inappropriate content.

Helka Homba

@Doorknob Why not put the sticky notes on but label them with both letters in different colored ink

Doorknob

10:17 PM

@HelkaHomba It's not like I need English letters there anyway; the keys could be blank in English for all I care

But if I put just paper they would get dirty

user207712

@El'endiaStarman oh so you are a he? so am i.

Doorknob

@HelkaHomba If it's annoying, that'll just be an extra incentive to learn to touch type in Cyrillic :P

El'endia Starman

@Solver Not the worst I've seen in here...

@Solver Maybe I'm lesbian.

user207712

ArtOfCode

4 flags. Slacking, mods.

user207712

10:19 PM

i don't think so.

El'endia Starman

Haha, no, you're right.

user207712

I miss the starboard,

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode boomed cleaned it all up

user207712

@El'endiaStarman Forgive me, but when i first saw your name, I thought that you were a she. :P

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen that was easy :)

El'endia Starman

10:20 PM

@Solver Yeah, the -a at the end does that.

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode click decline, press enter, repeat x5

user207712

my name is gender-neutral.

user207712

@El'endiaStarman and the -i

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen What if I run a userscript to repeat flag everything 'cos I can cheat 'cos I know the routes? :)

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode I ban you :P

user207712

10:21 PM

@ArtOfCode good idea!

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen have fun ;)

Have yet to build bans

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode i get your ip, and then dos you? =)

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen um

yes, if you can get my ip

Maltysen

don't you record them in your db?

ArtOfCode

but not if I DOS you first 'cos I already have your IP :)

@Maltysen yep

but needs console access to get at them

Maltysen

10:23 PM

@ArtOfCode yes, but NAT

@Geobits just in time to test the downvote button!

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen eh?

Maltysen

Network Address Translation

Geobits

Huhwhat?

ArtOfCode

what about it?

Maltysen

@Geobits stage.artofcode.co.uk

@ArtOfCode you can't actually ping me

ArtOfCode

10:25 PM

@Maltysen which one's your account?

#3?

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode not telling...

ArtOfCode

or y'know, I could just dos everyone :)

Geobits

@Maltysen Doesn't work if not logged in. Gives some terrible alert ;)

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode sounds good to me

@Geobits make an account then. you can lie about everything

ArtOfCode

@Geobits yep, that's cos you have to be logged in ;)

Geobits

10:26 PM

Will later. On mobile now.

ArtOfCode

Yeah, it's only me that gets the data, and... I'm a mod, I can deal with private data :)

Geobits

It's just the usual stuff, like SSN, bank account numbers, etc, right?

ArtOfCode

of course

Geobits

K

ArtOfCode

card details including CVV

all that

Maltysen

10:27 PM

@Geobits oh you can't lie about those ones

you can only lie about your favorite color

ArtOfCode

and your email address, they don't get verified

Geobits

I wouldn't dream of lying. I'll make sure to give my full name, Downy McDownface, just like I usually would.

ArtOfCode

Boaty McBoatface ;)

Geobits

That's not me though, it's my cousin.

ArtOfCode

oh right

oh god someone changed the hot questions count didn't they?

-5? Huh, that's an odd one.

Hah, that's cached now for half an hour

Unless...

Yep, cache bust.

Still winning at this rep game :)

That said, I'm about to go mobile and lose console access... break it but try not to break it so hard that it needs a console to fix, or it's stuck till morning :)

Maltysen

10:34 PM

I broke the ask question thing again

flawr

2

ArtOfCode

Heh.

That can probably be fixed without console :)

Helka Homba

@ArtOfCode I can't log back in

(though perhaps you banned me, which I wouldn't blame you for)

ArtOfCode

Nope :) I don't even know how I could ban people at this stage.

user207712

Hi @Geobits ! Haven't seen you in a while.

Cyoce

10:37 PM

@Dennis Detour source code just got updated. git pull at will (TIO).

ArtOfCode

Don't know why you can't log in though - sure you've got the details right?

Helka Homba

Pretty sure. My pw had numbers and a ! in it if it matters

ArtOfCode

shrug shouldn't do

What's it doing?

Helka Homba

Just reloading the login page with nothing changed

ArtOfCode

so it's meant to be showing you an error but it's bugged

Helka Homba

10:40 PM

When I try pw reset "helka.homba@gmail.com" is not found

ArtOfCode

password resets are a thing?

Helka Homba

stage.artofcode.co.uk/users/password Aren't they?

flawr

@HelkaHomba Try "calvins.hobbies@gmail.com"

ArtOfCode

@HelkaHomba there is no account with that email

Alex A.

This fake site will probably graduate before PPCG

oh wait

Helka Homba

10:43 PM

@ArtOfCode You sure? I was id 6, and I coulda made a typo but I'm sure I tried to type that in

Alex A.

nvm

ArtOfCode

Heh. I see the issue. You misspelled the address. Let me fix it.

try now

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode why are logins with email and not username?

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen because emails are unique, usernames aren't

Maltysen

@AlexA. ~~graduate~~ get a design

ftfy

Alex A.

Q: Drilling For Oil

Congratulations! You have just been hired by a Fortune 499 company specializing in oil drilling. Your job is to write a program to determine the optimum placement of OilRUs' drill (represented by a single alphabetical character of your choice, I use a capital "O" in the examples), given a length...

Thank you @NewMainPosts.

For people still in grade school: How common are computers/laptops in schools now? When I was in school we had a "computer lab" and the library had lots of computers and each classroom had a few but there were still more students than computers. Is that changing?

user207712

O_O

Maltysen

10:48 PM

I was gonna give him a "Welcome new user comment", but then it turns out that he's almost as old as me

@HelkaHomba yes, but slowly

we got a lot of chromebooks recently cuz google

but still computers << students

ArtOfCode

@HelkaHomba both libraries and a whole load of computer labs, and the top two years get iPads.

Alex A.

O_O

ArtOfCode

And the bottom two get e readers.

Maltysen

o_O

user207712

@HelkaHomba I am under 13, and in our school, we have two ICT suites with terrible monitors, and 15 netbooks equally terrible and old per year group.

Maltysen

10:50 PM

> I am under 13 - Solver

Helka Homba

@ArtOfCode Personal i pads, say what! I only remember getting my own en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaSmart

Maltysen

NUKE HIS ACCOUNT ^^

user207712

@Maltysen are you?

ArtOfCode

@Maltysen we've done this one, he's good

user207712

I don't need nuking.

user207712

10:50 PM

I'm clear.

ArtOfCode

Parental supervision, so it's fine.

Maltysen

oh k

user207712

Actually, I've already been nuked once.

user207712

and not my email address.

Alex A.

I wish I had parental supervision :(

user207712

10:51 PM

lel

user207712

it's midnight round here.

Maltysen

I spend all my time trying to avoid parental supervision ;)

user207712

@Maltysen lol same here. I want to be independent.

ArtOfCode

Yeah, I got pretty lucky in terms of it resources... Great equipment and incompetent technicians basically means I'm the network admin.

Helka Homba

@Solver ICT?

Alex A.

@ArtOfCode o_O What grade are you in?

user207712

Information and Communications Technology

user207712

@HelkaHomba ^

user207712

It's a subject.

ArtOfCode

As in, they didn't notice when in year 7 I offered to help them fix my account, and in doing so made it a network admin account.

Had it ever since.

user207712

10:53 PM

@AlexA. he's 18

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode lucky

we have to do sethc on computers to get admin privs

ArtOfCode

@AlexA. 13 equivalent. I know they don't go that high but if they did.

Maltysen

and we still haven't got a net admin yet

user207712

@ArtOfCode Honestly, thank you for the idea. I am in transition to secondary and will surely do this.

i could just use sudo, though...

ArtOfCode

@Solver your techs likely won't be quite as incompetent...

Maltysen

I just need access to the PDC for 5 minutes… :D

sank yu sandbox....

ArtOfCode

Like how do you not notice a kid bypassing UAC dialogs, going into the network control software and clicking Make Admin?

Maltysen

@Agawa001 why is the chart in french?

Agawa001

10:55 PM

@Maltysen there is an english one in wiki

Maltysen

@ArtOfCode have you changed your grades yet, or do you have integrity?

Agawa001

just note, elagage means pruning, oui means yes, non is obvious

user207712

@ArtOfCode i will also be improving my skills too ;)

@Agawa001 Merci!

Hi @NewMainPosts

ArtOfCode

10:57 PM

@Maltysen I have some integrity. I did change my attendance record to 100% though, because they gave out free £20 Amazon vouchers for full attendance.

@ANerd-I what was your username pre-anagram?

Agawa001
