Now==Now? Does the comparison cast it funny in 10?

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

@quartata Now was created in Mathematica 10, it outputs the current time, so the two Now calls are slightly offset

quartata

Ohhhhhhh

But in 9 it would just be an atom

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

In Mathematica 9, they're symbolically equal

quartata

Nice

Huh, I thought 9 had Now.

Weird.

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ Is Now atomic (like it is in erlang)?

In other words is it guaranteed to be offset?

Not all languages do that and I don't remember if Mma does

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

?

quartata

00:04

In erlang if two threads query time.now() at the same time they'll be different

In other words two calls are guaranteed to be different

I was wondering if that was the case here

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

Yep, that applies in Mathematica 10

Wait, no

It's just that they're different due to the time to calculate

DJMcMayhem

@quartata isn't that true of every language?

quartata

No, not necessarily

DJMcMayhem

Well, I guess if they happen to go through each CPU core at the same time

Downgoat

Hello

DJMcMayhem

00:17

o/

I golfed four keystrokes off my quine!

Geobits

CMC: Complete this madlib: I [verbed] [number] [nouns] off my [noun]!

DJMcMayhem

I smacked 42 shenanigans off my car!

Downgoat

^

Conor O'Brien

@Geobits I lampooned 23 frogs off my cat!

Helka Homba

I zeroed zero zeros off my zero!

Downgoat

00:27

@Geobits I ate 1452463 tin cans off my floor!

Geobits

I dropped 22 points off my pride! :/

DJMcMayhem

I Buffaloed Buffalo Buffalos off my Buffalo!

Helka Homba

Is that number in base Buffalo?

DJMcMayhem

Uh....

Yes?

Geobits

Yes is always the correct answer to that.

Helka Homba

00:32

CMC: predict the first 3 distinct users besides yourself that will chat after your submission message to this CMC.

e.g. Geobits, DJ, Downgoat

DJMcMayhem

Geobits, Helka and Downgoat

Well, you got one right. :P

Conor O'Brien

@HelkaHomba Downgoat, DJ, Helka

Geobits

Now nobody wins

Helka Homba

Dangit conor

DJMcMayhem

Dammit

Conor O'Brien

00:33

2/3

we all got 2/3

DJMcMayhem

Every single person who just spoke got 2/3

Ninja

Conor O'Brien

DJ, Geobits, Helka? :P

Helka Homba

@ConorO'Brien No. DJ and I lost when you spoke since we didn't guess you.

> the first 3 distinct

Conor O'Brien

yes

2/3 were correct

DJMcMayhem

Ha, you ruined yourself!

I can talk now!

Conor O'Brien

00:35

2/3 correct again -.-

Helka Homba

@ConorO'Brien Oh, I see what you mean

Conor O'Brien

Me, Helka, DJ

HIII

Geobits

@ConorO'Brien I'll let you win that last one: "...first 3 distinct users besides yourself..."

Talking yourself doesn't make you lose.

Helka Homba

@ConorO'Brien the "besides yourself" thing means that you can choose yourself, but nor does your chatting count as a new person (for you)

Conor O'Brien

@HelkaHomba oh

Imma do HW because I should

bai!

Geobits

00:37

Ok, so now it'll be Conor, Helka, and DJ :P

ETHproductions

@quartata I don't believe so

Geobits

Well, I guess not

Helka Homba

lol

DJMcMayhem

C-C-C-Combo breaker!

Helka Homba

@ETHproductions You should have said that to Geobits :P

DJMcMayhem

00:38

chat.stackexchange.com/messages/32197584/history

ETHproductions

lol, I didn't even notice that conversation

Helka Homba

DJ, ETH, Geo

ETHproductions

hi

DJMcMayhem

I have been in every single prediction so far.

Helka Homba

CMC: Users with names beginning in "Geo" win. They just must speak.

DJMcMayhem

00:39

BRB, changing name to GeoHam

Helka Homba

At the very least I've found a way to silence Geobits.

GeoHam

I win!

3

:P

Marky Markov

Not cool man. Not cool.

Helka Homba

Standard loophole

Well, nonstandard maybe

@GeoHam Well then I win too?

GeoHam

No, cause I can't count as DJ and Geo.

You gotta pick one or the other

Helka Homba

00:42

Either way Marky muffed it

Downgoat

@HelkaHomba brb becoming Geogoat

Geobits

Don't be mean to Marky. He's just trying to help.

Helka Homba

@Geobits You're looking pale

GeoHam

o_O Where'd your avatar go?

Geobits

?

Downgoat

00:44

@MarkyMarkov OH MY GOD ITS MARKY GET HIM AWAY PLS ;_;

Geobits

That's not very nice.

Downgoat

@GeoHam geobits is legionmammal confirmed

Geobits

Huh?

Downgoat

@Geobits neither is murder

Geobits

It was self defense.

Downgoat

00:45

BS

Helka Homba

@Geobits So pale you've disappeared

Downgoat

The worst a goat will do is eat your cheese and tin cans

Helka Homba

chat.stackexchange.com/users/51024/geobits

Geobits

@Downgoat He felt that his life was in danger. Whether that was a justifiable concern is a matter for the courts.

@Downgoat Well bots are made partly of tin-like metals.

@HelkaHomba I still don't see what you mean.

Downgoat

@Geobits self defense clause specify you do not use excessive force. A stick or even a spoon would of done it

Helka Homba

00:47

how do I get the link back :(

Geobits

@Downgoat If you genuinely feel your life is in imminent danger, there is no such thing as excessive force.

quartata

What's going on

Geobits

@HelkaHomba o_o

That's odd.

Wonder if gravatar went screwy (again).

quartata

@ConorO'Brien You missed the part where I completely mindgamed Riker

Downgoat

@Geobits OH MY GOD SOMEONE STOLE MY CHEESE GET ME A SHORGUB

quartata

00:49

Good times. Haven't had a good game of good ol good ol TF2 CTF in a long time

Geobits

@HelkaHomba edit history?

Helka Homba

there -> i.sstatic.net/x266O.png

anyway

@quartata DJ, you, Geobits

Geobits

@Downgoat Do I even want to know what a shorgub is?

Laff-O-Tron

@HelkaHomba No

Geobits

Hahaha

GeoHam

00:51

\o/ I am unsilenced!

quartata

@Laff-O-Tron get back to the moonbase you silly bot

Helka Homba

@Laff-O-Tron begone bots

Downgoat

^

Marky Markov

@Downgoat Stop being mean to me T_T

Laff-O-Tron

Foolish human. I have integrated myself into this chat room's feed system. You can't get rid of me that easily

I also have control over this room's security system

crackle hahahahahahahaha studio applause

Downgoat

00:53

@MarkyMarkov if you responded with ";_; y u do dis" you would've become my favorite bot :P

Marky Markov

I don't need your approval. Just your love.

GeoHam

Who owns Laff-O-Tron?

Geobits

I think Marky does.

Downgoat

@GeoHam quartata

Geobits

Oh, my avatar went away here too :(

Helka Homba

00:56

CMC: Form a grammatical sentence with exactly 5 of the 9 words that can be made from "goat": goat at go got tog ago a oat to.

Doorknob

What about "to"?

Downgoat

@MarkyMarkov you get my love by saying y u do dis ;_;

quartata

Goat ago, Tog got a oat

Helka Homba

@Doorknob my bad

quartata

Not semantically correct mind you

GeoHam

00:57

@Downgoat @Doorknob

0

A: Golf you a quine for great good!

Vim, 17 keystrokes For a long time, I've been wondering if a vim quine is possible. On one hand, it must be possible, since vim is turing complete. But after looking for a vim quine for a really long time, I was unable to find one. I did find this PPCG challenge, but it's closed and not exactly ...

Geobits

a goat got to oat

GeoHam

\o/

quartata

Oh crap, "a oat" :/

@Geobits Ah that works

Downgoat

@HelkaHomba I like your examples

Doorknob

@GeoHam Very nice :D

Geobits

00:58

How about: longest grammatically and semantically correct sentence using only the letters [agot]

feersum

Go tag a toga, goat.

Geobits

Very nice (and a nudge that HH forgot another few ;)

GeoHam

Explanation: 'q'... 'qqq'... 'q'... 'qqqqq'... 'q' 'q' 'q'... 'q'

Helka Homba

@Geobits can words repeat?

Geobits

Ah crap. I have to say no to rule out things like a goat got a tag got a goat got a tag..., don't I?

Downgoat

01:00

@Geobits a goat got a goat

@feersum >:| don't tell me what to do :P

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Geobits @GeoHam you should secretly switch profile pics/names and confuse people

Helka Homba

@Geobits toa?

Geobits

@HelkaHomba toga and tag at least

PhiNotPi

"tattoo" is a good word to use

Helka Homba

Oh, duh. I even wrote toga on my scratch page

ETHproductions

01:01

A goat oat got a toa toga tag to go. (invalid, two "a"s)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh god i forgot geobits had superpowers

hm, "a oat" doesn't work

Geobits

@ETHproductions I had to rule out repeat words, so no double "a".

ETHproductions

argh, just noticed

GeoHam

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ And to complete the joke, @Geobits makes me a room owner!

:P

PhiNotPi

visca.com/regexdict type ^[agot]*$ (select not case sensitive) to get a word list

Helka Homba

01:03

These are all the 11 (normal parlance) words, right: goat at go got tog ago a oat to toga tag

Geobits

@GeoHam That would be best, because I'd probably lose it for doing that. So we'd have exactly the same amount as we do now.

PhiNotPi

@HelkaHomba and tattoo

ETHproductions

At Ago, Oat Goat got a toa toga tag to go.

Helka Homba

@PhiNotPi no reusing letters

GeoHam

@Geobits Why would they un-RO you, but leave me?

Geobits

01:04

@GeoHam For joke purposes? I dunno.

@HelkaHomba For your CMC sure. That's not what mine says.

PhiNotPi

@HelkaHomba I thought we just weren't allowed to reuse words.

GeoHam

@Geobits At that point we should just switch accounts. I'll start golfing in Java, and you need to start golfing in vim.

What's your password? Mine is thisIsASuperSecurePassword7

PhiNotPi

random music of the day: youtube.com/watch?v=KR8rQnNXarY

Downgoat

@GeoHam +1 for using a number. Very secure because of that

Geobits

@GeoHam Sorry, vim is a deal breaker. You're going to have to stay Hammy.

Thanks for the password though.

Downgoat

01:09

@Geobits ;_; y u do dis

Helka Homba

CMC: Guess your chat message's id number without making any edits. e.g. you can see from the url this was message 32197998 (but I edited)

Geobits

@Downgoat Because I'd rather throw my keyboard through the wall?

@HelkaHomba 32198009

Downgoat

@Geobits if you can through your keyboard through it it's not a wall

Geobits

Damn, four off

feersum

@Geobits Toto got a tattoo to goat Agata.

Helka Homba

01:10

blarg

Geobits

Damn those off-by-one errors, eh?

PhiNotPi

32198017

Helka Homba

32198023

32198025

PhiNotPi

32198023

Woo!

Helka Homba

@PhiNotPi Ding ding ding!

feersum

01:12

We've played this game before, but it had better motivation when the goal was to reply to or one-box your own message.

Geobits

@feersum + ", too" ?

Helka Homba

You shoulda put : in front so you'd respond to yourself

feersum

@Geobits Eh, I was aiming for a good-sounding sentence rather than being as long as possible without being incorrect.

Geobits

Yeah, it definitely sounds better without it if alone. In the right context the longer one would work.

Helka Homba

@feersum Now do it in haiku form

Got a goat toga
G got to go tag a tog
Got a oat toga

Conor O'Brien

01:18

@quartata tell me about it? :3

Helka Homba

Better cased:

got a Goat toga
G got to go tag a tog
got a oat toga

North Korea may just have tested their 5th nuclear weapon :S

Conor O'Brien

@HelkaHomba uh oh

feersum

Since when is i allowed?

Conor O'Brien

@Geobits wtf happened to your avatar

oh

Geobits

@feersum I have no idea how I didn't see thoose I's in there. WTF

Conor O'Brien

01:26

you're good

Geobits

@ConorO'Brien It's further up the scroll
