I just don't feel like doing - randomswdev.blogspot.it/2015/07/…
...I just started to see chat flag notifications in chat. Is that because I'm a 5K user on a site without a design?
No, you need to have 10K on the entire network (sum of the rep you have on sites where you have >200 rep)
You have 10K network wide
@DJMcMayhem Newline processing in PowerShell sucks. I'll freely admit that.
ah. I just got a bunch of rep from programmers, so that's probably why

Q: Braincopterify an image

CopperIntroduction Braincopter is an esoteric Brainf*** derivative that encodes a Brainf*** program as an image. As a 2D language, it uses two additional commands; they rotate the instruction pointer (initially pointing right) clockwise and counterclockwise. Braincopter is very similar to Brainloller,...

18:03
I never got a notification though, so that's odd
unless they don't notify you
I don't know (I only have 2.8K) but they probably don't notify you
Yeah, there's no notification. The flags just start showing up.
@NathanMerrill yeah, that's an understatement
@DJMcMayhem I really can't believe the question got that popular. I was just "eh, might as well write an answer"
it was literally a 2-minute answer
I've never seen a chat flag
And I've been 10k for about 2 months now
18:06
it's blue scary and decreases your sanity
Cuz they get handled really quickly
I got like a blue circle on my profile picture, but the instant I clicked on it, it was already resolved
so yeah, they get resolved fast
Oohh... Scary...
18:07
Up until PowerShell v5, the only way to not get an extra newline tacked onto your output (whether to a text file, on screen, whatever) was to use Write-Host with the -NoNewLine flag or construct a filestream and write raw bytes to a file.
I rarely validate them. They're usually pretty petty
^ definitely
@NathanMerrill That's how I felt about an answer I wrote on infosec, but it got 35, not well over a hundred

@NathanMerrill The ones in English get resolved fast. The ones from the foreign language rooms get resolved slower because everybody has to use Google Translate to figure out what is going on

@muddyfish There have been 12 in the last week or so
@NathanMerrill I upvoted your answer and didn't know you wrote it .-.
@ConorO'Brien there's like an 80% chance it didn't give me any rep
it was yesterday
I still hit the rep cap yesterday
I think?
heyyy if I unupvote and reupvote do you still lose ten rep?
18:10
nah, yesterday was the first day I didn't hit the cap
oh fantastic
Lets try if i can hit the cap upvote my posts
@ConorO'Brien my money is on test.ret using \r\n newlines
@TimmyD wait, is there a better solution now?
But is'nt \r\n the standard newline for Windows?
18:20
@MartinEnder works like a charm!
@TheveryevilROFLcopter right, but Retina splits the source code around \n, so the \rs would end up at the end of each regex and each substitution
why not split on /\r?\n/? (regex split)
18:25
@ConorO'Brien because then you can't put a carriage return at the end of a regex or substitution when you need to (well you could put it at the end of a regex for two bytes, but not at the end of a substitution)
ah... idea for a flag, then? -w or similar splits on \r\n or \r?\n.

Q: Inverse permutation index

Pietu1998Introduction The lexicographical permutations of a list with n elements can be numbered from 0 to n! - 1. For example, the 3! = 6 permutations of (1,2,3) would be (1,2,3), (1,3,2), (2,1,3), (2,3,1), (3,1,2), (3,2,1). A permutation of a list can be thought of as a function that transforms an ord...

why are your eyes boxes?
Probably because your font is not up to par.

As I said ;)

@DmitryKudriavtsev Because your font is borked
@DmitryKudriavtsev Your font doesn't support the script that TNB users communicate in daily.
@wizzwizz4 Double-ninja'd
dont have ms fonts
although let me download symbola or something
DejaVu support it

Yeah, it's not just MS fonts. You just need one with decent unicode support.
yeah, symbola apparently supports ALL OF THE UNICODE

This new asterisky challenge looks familiar ^^
@TheveryevilROFLcopter can you try enabling the serial console and PuTTYing to it so that you can copy paste commands?
How to serial console with VirtualBox?
@Dennis How does stdin work with TIO? I'm trying to make ABCR TIO-compatable.
you need to poweroff the VM
then go to settings and serial ports
20:26
@StevenH. The content of the input field is piped to the interpreter. Interactive input is not supported.
Now VB still crash for some sort of dangling pointer
Is there an EOF indicator?
End Of File, like a null byte to indicate that there's no more input
No.
20:30
The byte -1
End of file is a state not a part of the input
That's not a byte; it's the value getchar happens to return when there are no more bytes to read.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ I have no idea how to configure a serial port with VirtualBox
I think I found how to serial
@Zalgo Any tips on the classification of sequences of bytes as byte / non-byte?
Please stop with your weird IT questions, I am the master of the hell, not a software developer

It's hard for me to imagine a master of hell having any occupation other than software developer.

Hey guys, I have a question for you all. Let's suppose that Alice and Bob play a game where they choose unique numbers from 1 to 9, one at a time. If either of them manage to have three numbers (not necessarily in order) that add up to 15, then they win the game. Now, because of 3x3 magic squares, this means that this game is equivalent to Tic-Tac-Toe. Does that mean that these two games are the same, or are they somehow different?
> GM: Now you're stuck on an alien planet. // Player: I'll ask a local for assistance. rolls a one // GM: Meesa Jar-Jar Binks!
20:50
@TimmyD Sounds like it could be from Darths and Droids. :P
Anonymous
@El'endiaStarman C is equivalent to a Turing machine in terms of Turing-completeness, but they are quite different.
For perfect players, they're the same game. However, in practice introducing it to a new person, it'll be a new game and different because it needs them to think in a different way.
@Mego Indeed! That's pretty much the crux of the issue.
Anonymous
It's the same game under the hood (since there is an isomorphism between the two games), but with a different presentation
@Mego, C tokens don't have a 1-to-1 relation with Turing Machine instructions, though, while the 1-9 numbers have a 1-to-1 relation with the positions on a tic-tac-toe board
Anonymous
20:53
@StevenH. I never claimed there was an isomorphism between C tokens and TM instructions. The isomorphism lies in the set of problems each can solve being exactly the same (Turing-completeness).
And therein lies the difference; there is an isomorphism between Alice and Bob's game's moves and Tic-Tac-Toe moves
@Mego Mmhmm. Now let's suppose that there's a third game, which takes the form of a massive tree. Each node corresponds to possible configurations of the Tic-Tac-Toe board, and the (one-directional) edges between nodes are those moves that can be played. The choice now boils down to picking which edge to take, and Alice and Bob take turns.
Anonymous
@El'endiaStarman Same game, different presentation. Same thing as before.
Clearly, this is another isomorphism, so these games are equivalent. But are they the same?
@El'endiaStarman I get the feeling you already know the answer here :P
20:55
@Geobits I have an opinion already, yes. But it could be changed.
Yes, they're the same. Just like a soccer ball is the same as a cube.
@El'endiaStarman Is a handwritten 5 the same as a typed 5?
@Geobits Not if my friend is the one writing it, as his handwriting is not legible.

Let's take a lateral move into a different realm. Are Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and The Alphabet Song the same song?
Same melody, different lyrics.
20:57
No. Lyrics are a part of the song.
By definition, IIRC
Anonymous
I'd say the melody is the song, and the lyrics are the presentation of the melody
I can play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on the piano without singing the lyrics and people will still say "Oh, that's Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star!"
Or, alternatively, they'll hear the Alphabet Song.
I would definitely say that lyrics are part of the song. But that's a totally different type of "equivalence" that doesn't really have to do with game theory.
