@El'endiaStarman would [[[x1, y1], w1], [[x2, y2], w2]] be a reasonable input format?

@MartinBüttner Yes.

?

I'd ask "why would that be starred," but I already know the answer

Or to be more precise that there is no answer

Yeah, I'm considering clearing the star myself.

@ArtOfCode You still around?

@El'endiaStarman I still don't get why mods can't see who starred what.

much blue

@quartata vaguely

I'm not ssh'd into the server, if that's what you need

@quartata that's my fault, actually

@Quill Oh?

@ArtOfCode No rush

It used to work for everyone, but then I did that thing, and they turned it off

I thought Doorknob was the one who posted it on meta and got it fixed

@Quill orlynao

@quartata sure :) if you tell me what you need doing, I'll get to it when I next have access

As for SE mods specifically seeing them, it's probably a bad idea

@quartata Probably because 1. it doesn't really matter and 2. it's analogous to voting on the main site and mods can't see who voted

@Doorknob it was ignored for like three years beforehand

$ mount
<...>
/dev/sda7 on /home/user/LegionMammal978.github.io/eso type ext4 (rw)
<...>

Just set it up

anyway, stars don't have massive repercussions like flags do

there's no reason to reveal to anyone who starred something

@ArtOfCode In serverinfo there is a hub option that needs to be switched to yes. I also need you to fill out a connect block:

wait, are we seriously getting a design in november, or is optimizer trolling?

Mods and ROs have the ability to silently clear them, but give them the list of starrers and you're effectively giving them a big verbal stick to hit people with

wat even

?

+2/-1

why? :p

Idk

Two people upvoted and one downvoted

yeah. maybe they're a pirate hunter

connect {
  name = "qpixel.qpixel"; # can be anything
  host = "127.0.0.1";
  send_password = "PASS";
  accept_password = "PASS";
  encrypted = no;
  hub_mask = "*";
  class = "server";
};

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ here, its +3/-1 now

@ArtOfCode Something like this

@Maltysen +4/-1 :3

:)

@quartata cool, will get to it tomorrw

Ooh also add one of these:

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Why? It's invalid per the spec.

service {
  name = "qpixel.qpixel";
};

@AlexA. is it??

Ohshit

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ All of the current answers are.

oh

:p

This is why you use the Sand Box (ɔ)

@ArtOfCode awsum

@QPaysTaxes ?

@Maltysen Definitely trolling.

Well, it's not that far-fetched.

November is six months from now. SE graphics designers don't take that long.

Disturbing:

@QPaysTaxes Yeah

@BaldBantha o_O

@QPaysTaxes yeah, the first one was a google search for the url of the video

like, what?

TNB mini golf! Given X, find the greatest proper divisor of X.

Yeah I got the video, found the link, accidentally hit search for it, copied it out of the search bar....

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Common?

No, Proper

E.g, not X.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ why are you giving spam responses to your own question?

I don't know, why aren't you giving spam responses to your own question?

@MartinBüttner haha

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Jolf, 5 bytes: gZhmδ

@QPaysTaxes it's oddly quiet

cool, so do I

@MartinBüttner How do you know we didn't audibly or mentally say it? :P

brb waiting for animated gif to scroll up

@Phrancis right click, inspect element, del

So, I have a design question. In my KoTH controller, I have a Directory that keeps track of players. Specifically, it knows how to create a Player from a PlayerType, and should be able to identify the PlayerType given an instance of a Player

@El'endiaStarman I just do.

My problem lies in the "identify the PlayerType" part

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ J, 4 bytes: {:q:

@MartinBüttner whoa. I had no idea you could do that.

@QPaysTaxes Technically no, since 1 is a proper divisor.

But other than 1, yes.

I could make a userscript that gets rid of all gifs.

There are a couple ways to do it: 1. Use the class of the player. 2. use player.toString() 3. Have players implement a function getType()

BTW @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I love your brain-flak syntax highlighter. :D

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ :D thanks!

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Even better, make the gifs click to load

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Osable, 3 bytes: Ò¦P.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Julia, 29 bytes: x->findlast(i->x%i<1,2:x-1)+1

dunno if shortest but works

@Quill oo. that's a good idea, but idk how a userscript could do that--the GIF's are already loaded by the time the userscript sees them

@QPaysTaxes I like the nth syntax

Alright, well gbai everyone. Imma go play some frisbee.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You should be able to make gifs stop playing. I know it's possible since Facebook has that capability.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Sounds like fun! Have a good time!

bai

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I thought the same thing, but the gifs loading isn't the issue, it's the playback, so I suppose you could hide the actual gif itself and have a placeholder image until clicked, but that sounds difficult and painful

ty

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ bai! glhfdl

@NathanMerrill how many types are there?

Lol, sure.

IDK where you live, but it's probably a really long drive.

@QPaysTaxes s/live/lose

From New Jersey to Colorado?

@MartinBüttner potentially unlimited

We specifically told you not to die.

@NathanMerrill but in practice?

OK, I'm out for real.

do you know the number at compile time?

@MartinBüttner the number of entries to a competition

5

yes

er, no

I don't

because of cross-platform entries

unless I enforce that every entry has a class

even if its a different language

@NathanMerrill in that case, inheritance or enums don't seem like a good choice. just have the type be an integer ID and add a type property then, I guess.

An enum isn't bad, you can use it as a field and still get both a name and an ID for comparisons

Chat mini challenge: given a number n output all pairs of integers (j, k) so that j + k = n and j, k > 0. You may not include duplicates in your output. No builtins.

the problem with making it a property is that I have to have the type without constructing the object

@Quill the enum can't change its size automatically when you add another player, can it?

aka, I need a list of all of the types

but how do I make the list of types without instantiating all of the players?

@NathanMerrill couldn't that list just be [0, 1, ..., N-1]?

@MartinBüttner Oh, an enum of players, I thought you meant an enum of player types

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ pyth - 7 bytes: fq2lT./

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ n->[partitions(n,2)...]

@Quill if I understood correctly, those are identical

it sounds like there are multiple instances of each player, belonging to a unique type (identifying the player)

Oops.

players = [Martin, Quill, Nathan]; playerTypes = [Mod, NormalUser, RoomOwner]

@MartinBüttner so, after I instantiate a player, I set the ID?

@Quill as a test.

HAI

I thought it didn't work because he didn't respond.

HAI

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ can't stay, you made it on the bad influence list again, along with most of PPCG.

@NathanMerrill that sort of depends on how your players are represented. if each player is implemented via a separate class, it could also just have a static property returning the ID (but then you could also get its class directly, but that might be more annoying than working with integers, I don't know enough Java to tell)

:P

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ aw :( bai

If I were to make a successor to Jolf, what should I call it?

@MartinBüttner I'd like to avoid the "each player is a different class"

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Jolf 2

Jolfier

simply because it makes cross-language much harder

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ le jolf

@NathanMerrill fair enough. but you do know up front how many players there are, right? then just enumerate them and give the players the correct ID upon instantiation.

yeah, I think that works

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Scarf.

XD

I also have a list of all of the types upfront

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ right now I am teaching my sister about the glories of xkcd... :P

but i gtg, bai!

BAI

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ no seriously, scarf.

drinkbai

good name.

aka, there's a static initializer that simply registers every type

@Adnan I tried it actually. It sucks.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ not a bad name

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Java, 75 bytes... static int d(int n){for(int i=n-1;i>0;i--){if(n%i==0){return i;}}return n;}

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ hahaha

Vote on Jolf's new name

@QPaysTaxes is [range) a range between [a,b)?

@QPaysTaxes I like that a lot :D

oo that's nice

n=400; j=n-1; k=1;
while(j>0 && k>0){
   console.log(`${j--}+${k++}=${n}`)
}

None of those avocados look ripe
