@Sherlock9 No, the set declarations are per file.

@ASCII-only I'll check it out more thoroughly when I wake up. I'm not sure if UTF-8 is a good default though. The most popular languages on TIO all use al 1 byte per character encoding.

ASCII-only

@Dennis Yeah, I have Jelly/Seriously/GS2 assuming 1 byte per character, since those were the only ones the design userscript detected

Dennis

Actually, 05AB1E, and 2sable as well.

@ASCII-only unescape(encodeURIComponent(string)) should be enough to convert to UTF-8.

ASCII-only

@Dennis ?

Dennis

Instead of the function you took from SO.

That's what the frontend uses to convert to UTF-8 before sending data to the backend.

ASCII-only

08:21

Done, and also added link and changing to byte for a one-byte program which I forgot

Q: Count how many characters are in the program's source

Write a program that counts and prints the number of characters in it's own source code to standard output. The number must be generated from counting the characters. This Ruby solution would not be allowed: puts 6 because it is not calculated. Spaces, tabs, new lines, etc should be counted...

DJMcMayhem

Sherlock9

"Usage of recordings outside of the podcast are prohibited." Does this mean I can't allow you to my recordings elsewhere? Logically no, but I wanted to check

mınxomaτ

@Sherlock9 No, that means I can't take rec.s out of context and distribute them without asking.

Ah ok

I don't yet know what the schedule for this semester will be so I can't guarantee several-hour stretches yet

@DJMcMayhem My online gaming handle is (slightly) more interesting. A bunch of friends and I were having a LAN party about 8 years ago or so, playing Silent Hunter at the time. This was right around when The Muppets started re-gaining popularity, and one of us found the Swedish Chef/Chacarron remix (which is hilarious), playing it on loop. By one of us, I mean me. Since we were doing naval battles, I temporarily changed my name to AdmBorkBork ("Admiral Bork Bork"), but it wound up sticking.
