@trichoplax Lots of "ಠ_ಠ" and just nothing worth reading.

flawr

@ConorO'Brien how about gay, can gah mean gay?

Conor O'Brien

@flawr ....no?

DJMcMayhem

@flawr yeah, pretty much "damn" for 7 year olds

Conor O'Brien

@DJMcMayhem oi.

quartata

@flawr definitely not

trichoplax

22:01

@mbomb007 The CMC didn't help with that, but it seems to be dying down.

Do you have something more on topic you'd like to discuss?

Conor O'Brien

it's not noise if everyone's doing it :P

El'endia Starman

@flawr I've always thought of "gah" as a sigh of exasperation, so to speak.

trichoplax

It's still noise, it's just not annoying anyone at the moment. It may be putting off people who would otherwise join us though (as people have expressed).

betseg

I will paint ಠ_ಠ into my avatar

Conor O'Brien

@trichoplax yes yes I know. hence the :P

trichoplax

22:04

And mbomb007 finds it annoying, so how about we drop the disapproving faces...?

I know there's more than 1 person who finds it annoying...

Helka Homba

CMC: Given positive ints for width and height, print a block of spam that size.

flawr

Anyone wanna see an photo of a plane?

trichoplax

@ConorO'Brien Excuse my misreading of punctuation faces :)

Helka Homba

22:06

e.g. 4x3

Conor O'Brien

@trichoplax haha not a problem. it's like tone, often nebulous :P

Maltysen

@HelkaHomba jm*"spam"E

trichoplax

@HelkaHomba And I thought the previous CMC was noisy :P

El'endia Starman

@flawr Considering who's speaking...ehhh...

Destructible Watermelon

hello

flawr

22:07

@HelkaHomba MATLAB: @(s)kron(ones(s),'spam')

Takes the size as a vector [x,y]

@El'endiaStarman Not crashing, I promise

Isn't that effing awesome?

DJMcMayhem

@HelkaHomba Àispam<esc>ÀÄ

El'endia Starman

@flawr That it is. Probably pretty shocking for the people on the plane too (well, at least the pilots).

Conor O'Brien

haha, shocking

El'endia Starman

@HelkaHomba Minkolang, 18 bytes: "spam"n$Dl0Gn$D$O.

quartata

Cinnamon Gum: whatever p~%spam%<literal newline>~ compresses to, on mobile

El'endia Starman

22:10

@ConorO'Brien I know, that was a cheap shot.

quartata

Should be about 8 bytes

DJMcMayhem

@quartata Dang it! I thought my 9 was unbeatable. Stupid compression

trichoplax

@quartata I read that as "whatever p~%spam%<literal newline>~" compresses to , on mobile

Conor O'Brien

@HelkaHomba J, 15 bytes: 'spam'$~{.,4*}.

quartata

@DJMcMayhem It will probably be 9. Depends on how lucky I am

Destructible Watermelon

22:12

@HelkaHomba python: lambda n,x:exec("print('spam'*n);"*x)

DJMcMayhem

That means I win in spirit, since I didn't use compression. :P

quartata

really my compression is just a lazy way of having 256 chars. only occasionally is it better

ASCII converted to base 256 holds about the same information as CP437 when you think about it

DJMcMayhem

V doesn't use CP437,

It uses Latin 1

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ

@HelkaHomba C#, 79 bytes: a=>b=>new string(' ',b).Replace(" ",new string(' ',a).Replace(" ","spam")+'\n')

trichoplax

@mbomb007 Is this better signal:noise now?

DJMcMayhem

22:15

OK, new CMC: Same as helka's, but all "spam" on the inside is removed

quartata

Sample?

trichoplax

Hollow spam?

quartata

Also Charcoal will blow us all out of the water on this it's like 7 bytes for each

flawr

@trichoplax Define signal ^^

quartata

Built in for every imaginable shape from what I have seen of their transcript

trichoplax

22:17

In this specific case, things mbomb007 is interested in hearing about

DJMcMayhem

@quartata sample

That's 4x4

trichoplax

@DestructibleWatermelon Yeah, I learnt the hard way not to trust that too - I always paste into another program before leaving the browser now

Destructible Watermelon

outputs pam

quartata

Oh wait

does height include the top and bottom?

DJMcMayhem

@DestructibleWatermelon Ah, good point. It should be "5h" not "4h"

Destructible Watermelon

22:21

yep

I mean, usually it remembers most of it, but this time it remembered the title only ;_;

Conor O'Brien

CMC: given an integer N > 2, divide N by the largest prime number < N

quartata

@DJMcMayhem Does height include the top and bottom

DJMcMayhem

Yeah

Downgoat

question: how to do a time literal

DJMcMayhem

@ConorO'Brien that doesn't work for 2

Conor O'Brien

22:24

@DJMcMayhem yes, fixed

quartata

Then I can't do it without math. If you let me take input as width,height-2 I can

DJMcMayhem

You should add some math. :P

quartata

Actually wait

DJMcMayhem

@ConorO'Brien terribly golfed but: matl.tryitonline.net/#code=dDpZcXRHPCkwKS8&input=NQ

quartata

d<backtick>11(?:])<backtick>F<backtick>P~spam~%%spam~ ~spam<newline>%%~spam~![%s,%s] is close but F doesn't work properly in this case

DJMcMayhem

22:33

Is it possible to see vote breakdown on reddit?

quartata

ddoing the math with regex sucks

Helka Homba

Hey guys who have a good idea to have the right place for you and I have to do it again in a while to respond from the airport.

Destructible Watermelon

DJMcMayhem

@HelkaHomba ???

Maltysen

quartata

22:35

This brain made my brain tingle

Maltysen

i knew it, he's a bot!

Destructible Watermelon

what is happening...

Helka Homba

^ result of first autosuggested words

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem nope

quartata

I mean sentence. It's contagious

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

22:36

@HelkaHomba i was about to ask that then I read down. >_>

DJMcMayhem

I am a beautiful person.

Result of autosuggest

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

uh-huh...

Destructible Watermelon

<_< or is it @DJMcMayhem trying to use suggestion

DJMcMayhem

The first to write you an opportunity. Please contact me for my family is going on with your family, friends. The other side, but the best.

Conor O'Brien

@DJMcMayhem I have 6 bytes of J :P

quartata

22:38

We need a bot that works like this

Destructible Watermelon

a primitive markov chain bot?

Helka Homba

> Hey guys are going well as a result of a sudden I have to be the best way for me and I have to be the best way for me and I have to be the best way...

Conor O'Brien

oo I made one of those once

Destructible Watermelon

@HelkaHomba Auto suggest has a nervous breakdown

El'endia Starman

DJMcMayhem

22:39

> the same time. The only thing that I have a great day. I'm not sure if you are not the intended recipient, you can also be used to be a good time to time.

@HelkaHomba for a minute there I was wondering if you had a concussion. :P

and then [is a lot of time to get a chance to win a free agent in charge of the day]*infinity

lol

Helka Homba

@DJMcMayhem yours likes mixing idioms :p

El'endia Starman

I wonder if this is the sort of thing you'd get if you tried to run WFC with English text as a source. :P

quartata

22:45

@DestructibleWatermelon Basically but much lazier

Destructible Watermelon

it would use words instead of letters

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@El'endiaStarman that's fascinating

El'endia Starman

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ orlp posted it in here a couple days ago. I've kept it open in a tab ever since.

Destructible Watermelon

also instead of probability, it uses determinism

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@El'endiaStarman hm, cool

El'endia Starman

22:47

I think the idea can be immensely useful in other areas.

trichoplax

I wonder if it can be used to write new algorithms

Maltysen

23:07

@PhiNotPi i have 22 kb of usage! yay?

quartata

@DJMcMayhem TF2?

DJMcMayhem

23:31

@quartata sorry, can't right now

Nathan Merrill

hey, what's the ideal string interpolation syntax?

(in your opinion, if that wasn't obvious)

"value:$variable"?

if that's the case, how do you handle "value:$variable.something"?

Downgoat

@NathanMerrill "value:#{whatever} where # can really be anything and { .. } is just any pair of delimiter

Nathan Merrill

so you prefer braces?

why have the #?

"value:{whatever}"

quartata

Braces are pretty common in strings.

#{ is an uncommon combo

Downgoat

because { ... } are rather common

DJMcMayhem

23:46

@Downgoat hackernoon.com/…

Downgoat

@DJMcMayhem well i mean it's not the libraries are at fault

DJMcMayhem

I know, it's just funny.

Downgoat

Browser JavaScript is such a shit and difficult language to code in you pretty much have to use a million libraries to get anything done

quartata

NodeJS's stdlib seems pretty sparse too

Most of the things I've installed have a lot of dependencies

Downgoat

it's pretty full-featured compared to other languages

but it is pretty difficult to use due to all the callbacks

quartata

23:50

Why would you retrieve React from NPM then use browserify

That sounds stupid and I just realized I'm noticing errors in a rant on JS

which implies I know JS

help

Oh, for Babel. Wow is that dumb.

Downgoat

you can use browser-side babel but it is slow

Anonymous

@Syxer It took me seeing your Reddit post to realize that you're VTC :P

quartata

Also I hope you JS people aren't writing your frontends with functional programming. That is definitely the wrong tool

@Downgoat I know. Ideally you shouldn't need Babel in the first place

ASCII-only

@Downgoat D: no i rarely use libraries, apart from my own

Downgoat

@quartata true, but with babel you can use strict-typing JS plugin which there is no proposal for even

@ASCII-only I mean for production sites

quartata

23:55

-I hear you. You should try the Python community then.
Why?
-Ever heard of Python 3?

At least there are only two versions of Python is all I have to say

Anyways that was quality have a star

DJMcMayhem

A: When was this language released?

15 years, Python Versions: 0.9.1, 2.0.0, 2.2.0, 2.2.2, 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.3, 3.2.1, 3.3.0, 3.3.3, 3.4.0, 3.5.0 and 3.6.0a4. Versions not linked can be found on the downloads page. The release date of 0.9.1 can be found here. Unfortunately I had to skip a large bunch of years due to...

quartata

Two major versions that matter at least

and __future__ makes it much easier

I think the main problem with ES5 and ES6 is that they lack something like that

DJMcMayhem

Hahahah

quartata

But since you can't extend JS with native code...
