@betseg there is really almost 0 situations anymore where you should use CW. usually on big-list posts where you'd like to invite others to add items

@El'endiaStarman thx

is rpn supporting strings?

@MartinEnder We certainly don't.

Martin Ender

haha

@El'endiaStarman What are moderation flags?

@flawr You can flag a chat message in one of two ways: spam/offensive, or moderator. They're handled differently and the notifications appear different too.

@El'endiaStarman I never noticed o_o, how are they different?

Q: Meandering around a lattice or grid

A meander is a self-avoiding closed curve which intersects a line a number of times. Your task is, given a (not necessarily Hamiltonian) self-avoiding walk on a lattice/grid, produce a meander a la the following: Input {{1, 2}, {2, 6}, {6, 7}, {7, 3}, {3, 4}, {4, 8}, {8, 12}, {12, 11}, {11, 10...

code-golf math

@flawr If enough people flag the same message as spam/offensive, it will automatically be deleted and the offending user kick-muted for 30 minutes. This also happens if any mod/10k user validates the flag.

I think only moderators see mod flags.

@El'endiaStarman it's not just you, see TL

Anyone working on the Bleen challenge? I'm creating a solution that works for all ranges, but it doesn't work for some reversed range edge cases. I'm having trouble patching it. ideone.com/2ZW4Cz

And boy, does my brain hurt right now.

Too many hours staring at a fake work.

Oh, and apparently my combined rep passed 10K!

@El'endiaStarman : based on this question that never received downvotes nor close votes. And as per meta consensus, my understanding was asking questions that crash things aren’t necessarily malicious code.

@TùxCräftîñg : Especially if the target is designed to be insecure and get it’s bugs reports closed as won’t fix in that case.

@quartata no you don't.

ah, chat doesn't like data links

I was wondering where my Pizza was for over 3 hours. Then I called. They said they rang the doorbell, but someone (that was not me) answered and (naturally) told them he didn't order anything. So I went outside and rang my own doorbell. Turns out that the wiring got mixed up somehow and it rings at my neighbor's apartment!

10:06 PM

o_O

@mınxomaτ Neat but I bet they aren't common because it's against the TOS. Section 4 parts A and C.

@mınxomaτ What happened to the pizza?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I think you've cracked the code, figured out how to get unlimited stars. :P

yup :p

@flawr It disappeared into the void where all such non-delivered things go (i.e. Canada).

10:15 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I'm gonna have a hard time learning that ASCII-only is CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@flawr ?

@flawr your point...?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ it's being taken literally. If that message reaches 30 stars, you must now change your name to the literal string ASCII-only.

@ArtOfCode oh

10:20 PM

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Yeah, that makes sense.

@flawr They are delivering a new one, as it was already paid.

@mınxomaτ I mean what happened to the pizza that you now didn't get?

Who knows.

Probably delivered for free to the next client.

pizza-slices-matter

I also get a free additional pizza once in a while because the previous customer wasn't answering.

10:34 PM

Nice.

Also, it is half past midnight here. That means that my neighbor probably had to get out of bed to decline my pizza.

That feeling when you copy a VM over to a new computer, and everything just works right out of the box and all your settings and data are there. Ahhhh....

@mınxomaτ didn't the delivery man notice anything weird when a different door opened?

^

@TùxCräftîñg : This isn’t bytecode.

10:43 PM

@NathanMerrill Uhm, why would any sane person open a door at midnight?

We have intercoms.

ah, makes sense :)

also makes more sense why the wiring was wrong

I was thinking a literal doorbell

@HelkaHomba Hemm… Would using the go language be ok ? I’m not talking about the google one, but the one used in france for teaching programming in elementary schools during the 80’s. The only thing it could do was to draw ᴀꜱᴄɪɪ art turtles.

Use whatever language you want that can do it

@HelkaHomba I mean beside looping constructs, the only instruction it had was for drawing turtles.

@user2284570 So long as they're the specific ASCII turtles in the challenge, that's fine.

@El'endiaStarman got wrong on the language : logo.
