@Doorknob I made it so that supplements only give you 100 nutrition for hunger purposes but add 1000 to the appropriate nutrition category. I can't decide if that's too little though

It's only slightly more than a food ration

The benefit was supposed to be that they count as being vegan regardless of whether it's for protein or starch or veggies

Hum. I posted a 2-byte Jelly answer to a question, and realized I could post a 1-byte Actually answer instead. I've posted both now, and it feels... silly

quartata

But I'm also trying to make it so that people who are having trouble with nutrition can have a quick fix for a category

Maybe I should have edited the Jelly answer to be Actually instead, but wouldn't that be weird?

In case you're not aware of this, the system issues automatic question bans if too many of your questions are downvoted, closed and/or deleted, and these bans cannot be lifted by moderators. Even for experienced challenge writers, it's usually a good idea to go through the sandbox, where other members of the community can help identifying dupe targets, iron out the details, and generally provide feedback before "going live". — Dennis ♦ Sep 25 at 22:03

Hey @Downgoat, now that we figured out the proxy classes, I wrote some new test code:

    return new Proxy(this, {
      get: function (target, name) {
          if (typeof name === 'string' && /^-?(\d+\.\d*|\.\d+)$/.test(name))
              return target[(name | 0) + (Math.random() < name % 1)];
          return target[name];
      }

@ConorO'Brien No, it's just that the Firefox chat window happened to be active at the time

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

I have to capitalize the text/recognize who is speaking/write descriptions of the image patterns

Also, Firefox is slow because I have ~ n / 8 Lorenz tabs open because I can't close tabs from the command line

quartata

You don't need the descriptions of the image patterns since they're all the same and whoever is speaking in a panel is fixed

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

@quartata The same image can mean different things in different contexts so I have to do it per image group, and some images have more than one image so I have to do it per panel

quartata

03:12

all you need to do is search each panel for characters separate them then compare the panel to the known patterns no? i don't see how context affects anything

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

Take the generic spaceship flying image as an example

Or the several boomerang images

quartata

Sincr the panels are generated there has to be a deterministic pattern to the layout

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

There is, but the panels have many combinations

quartata

If the problem is splitting it up into panels

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

See ^^

That's my current issue

quartata

03:14

I still don't see why you need context. The panels are designed to transition naturally into each other all you need are fixed descriptions for the visual

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

At my current rate, this project will take several days

@quartata That's what I'm doing

The point is, there's loads of panels

Although mostly loads of texts

Loads and loads of texts

quartata

You can do that later all you need are tokens representing each for now

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

???

quartata

The texts can be retrieved automatically is what I am trying to say

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

I'm doing all of it at once

Why not?

But yeah, I need to capitalize the texts mostly manually

quartata

03:16

I thought you were saying you were analyzing the comics manually

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

No, it's mostly automatic

> I have to capitalize the text/recognize who is speaking/write descriptions of the image patterns

And the capitalization is mostly guessed by a few regexes already

quartata

My entire point is that you can retrieve the text and what panel it is with image manipulations. Who is speaking in each is fixed. The image descriptions can be done after you have the data for the panel types

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

But why do I need to do them separately?

(Although I have been thinking about per-image-group speakers, it would have to use loads of crazy metadata though)

Oh right, yeah... dunno if there's a good way to split on vowels tbh

Zwei

I figured that doing that would be a clever way to count the number of vowel clusters for the proguzzle & colf challenge

Sp3000

Oh, if you're just counting the number of vowel clusters, there might be an easier way than splitting...

Rephrase: since there's no easy way to split by vowels in CJam, other approaches are probably shorter, is what I meant

You see, that's the problem, this community doesn't know where their rules are

That's true...

@TùxCräftîñg You've been on for too long.

wizzwizz4

@TùxCräftîñg I was 12 days away from getting that once...

zyabin101

@Qwerp-Derp Nope.

TùxCräftîñg

@Qwerp-Derp s/too// s/\./enough\./

TùxCräftîñg

@Qwerp-Derp y?

ASCII-only

@Theraot It's this one, basically: it has to be possible to represent numbers and tuples/lists/arrays in the language, have I/O or accept/reject inputs (no idea what that means), and you must be able to implement an adder and primality tester

Qwerp-Derp

@TùxCräftîñg You've been on for a long time

TùxCräftîñg

yes

Qwerp-Derp

Congrats on your gold thingo!

:D:D:D

Theraot

@ASCII-only that's the one linked, I have a link to it in my answer

wizzwizz4

@TùxCräftîñg I remember feeling like that when I got my first silver badge.

Congratulations on writing a script to refresh the page once per day!

Theraot

@ASCII-only Although I would need to find where it says that it doesn’t apply for kolmogorov-complexity

ASCII-only

@Theraot Ohh, never mind, but it's probably better if you included a TL;DR for some of the links

wizzwizz4

You say you got it legitimately? Then even more congratulations for completing an almost impossible task!

TùxCräftîñg

11:12

i got it legitimately

ASCII-only

@Theraot It's in a comment, here

zyabin101

Congratulations @TùxCräftîñg for reaching mother. Effing. #fanatic.

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 For some it's impossible not to get it (e.g. mods and top users)

@ASCII-only It's possible to accidentally miss 4 days in a year if you have Real Life stuff going on.

TùxCräftîñg

wat iz real life?

Qwerp-Derp

But I need to find a way for ghpages to link to an index.htmlin a separate folder

wizzwizz4

@TùxCräftîñg That thing that bots pretend to have.

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 s/bots/feedbots/

wizzwizz4

@ASCII-only Actually, they're trying to get it here in cyberspace.

They tried to recruit me for their cause, but I've got to much work to do automating some of the moderation processes on Retrocomputing.

I, er... I mean, being a moderator.

Definitely not being a bot.

And they definitely didn't ask me to help to overthrow the humans... Ha ha ha.

i am trying to rewrite most of logy's stdlib in logy

i am still adding more features to make this possible ._.

o_O a vim fail generated a really big stacktrace

Theraot

Are loopholes with negative score still loopholes? I would argue that the community consensus is against the loophole... but that creates the loophole of downvoting loopholes to allow the loophole. That sounds a bit too meta for meta... in particular I wonder about the built-in functionality loophole meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/1078/10875

@Theraot -1 stop questioning the premise of our site's core internal workings.

@MartinEnder alright then

wizzwizz4

"start applying chat bans if ..." I disagree with the if. Apply them now. Ban TuxCrafting and zyabin101. mınxomaτ's post is not evidence that we need to start paying attention to these trouble-makers; it's evidence that we've been letting them get away with this stuff for far too long. IMO mınxomaτ has pointed out more than enough behavior from these users to merit a week-long chat ban like @Mego said. — Lynn 12 hours ago

@zyabin101 @TùxCräftîñg Oh dear. You might want to read this. ^

@TùxCräftîñg The post I'm replying to might be an "e.g."

i have a esolang idea brb

wizzwizz4

@TùxCräftîñg Tell us, tell us!

TùxCräftîñg

does a PIL equivalent exists for ruby?

wizzwizz4

@TùxCräftîñg ... I think I see where you're going...

TùxCräftîñg

found

@wizzwizz4 yes, the program is an image

it's going to be a derivative of funciton

TIL about the downloads page of a gh repo

zyabin101

@wizzwizz4 Nice. Now we both have another hater.

I wish there were downvotes on comments.

TùxCräftîñg

11:52

@zyabin101 STOP CREATING DRAMA

wizzwizz4

:-) If you ever need chunks of your chat moved to another room due to complaints, just ping me.

zyabin101

^^

TùxCräftîñg

ok devil dont work on my computer

gem say that the gem dont exists

zyabin101

All, moved Lynn to ignored.

TùxCräftîñg

good for you, but why?

wizzwizz4

11:55

@zyabin101 I wouldn't do that if I were you. Manually ignore, but make sure you know what people are saying.

zyabin101

@TùxCräftîñg She is a new hater, as she said in the comment wizzwizz4 linked me to.

wizzwizz4

@zyabin101 That is not what I was trying to imply.

I was just letting you know that some people didn't like your use of chat.

zyabin101

Also, I'll not find a new community when I get a chat ban. They obviously would give me the maximum possible 9999 hours.

wizzwizz4

@zyabin101 You might not get a chat ban.

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

@MartinEnder Where would the code/data portions be in your model of a proper quine?

zyabin101

11:57

@wizzwizz4 And should not.

TùxCräftîñg

and permabans probably exist

wizzwizz4

@zyabin101 Well, that's debatable. :-D But seriously, this community is a community, and everybody needs to be satisfied.

ArtOfCode

every time

every single time

more drama?

mınxomaτ

@wizzwizz4 No. You do not need to imply anything. It is evident. Quite frankly, seeing how both of them, but zya in particular, continue to be ignorant, you should start applying a ban/kickmute as per community consensus
