@quartata you have the most obscure references

DJMcMayhem

I think it went over my head

PhiNotPi

Zacharee1

The real whoosh

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem newhart is a meh sitcom

quartata

They aren't that obscure

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

01:01

that was an episode/plotline

@quartata feels likes it to me

El'endia Starman

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Read a few messages down from the one I replied to.

DJMcMayhem

@Zacharee1 that's beautiful

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@quartata also, wasn't that from the 80s or something?

Zacharee1

ikr @DJMcMayhem

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh, there's matt #2

mınxomaτ

01:03

So, the mail is out.

PhiNotPi

Call one Matt and the other Mattt

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

lol

@mınxomaτ do you have the list of PPCG usernames to go with btw?

quartata

I am knowledgeable in all generations of pop culture except this one

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

lol

@mınxomaτ also, not to burst your bob: you obliviously have a choice

Geobits

This one isn't so hard to get. You just need a kid :P

mınxomaτ

01:04

Don't judge me, it's 3 AM.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

thanks for organizing this btw!

@PhiNotPi not maatt?

it is a word iirc :p

quartata

By the way what exactly is a hashtag? I thought it was a family of hash functions

2

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

it's what those people with tweeter use I think

feersum

It's the line at the beginning of a script that says what interpreter it should run with.

quartata

Actually I suppose it kind of is since it maps an unbounded string of stupidity to a finite string of memes

feersum

01:06

Like #!bin/perl

quartata

@feersum Ah gotcha. Thanks a bumch

DJMcMayhem

Just got it. Yay! \o/ now I just have to figure out who all of these irl names are, haha

mınxomaτ

Well, you don't really have to know that. I assume you know who you are

The other thing comes naturally with the first test

A: i.stack.imgur.com has an expired SSL certificate

We have contacted imgur and they are fixing this as we speak. Thanks for the report.

yay!

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem I'm Riker, Alex is Alex, Sherlock is Sherlock, Akif is Akif.

mınxomaτ

01:08

Ah damn

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

help much?

@mınxomaτ ?

Maltysen

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I'm Akif

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

TIL

thought there was another akif but i might be wrong

mınxomaτ

Alex didn't give me any times. Included him by accident,

DJMcMayhem

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Alex and sherlock aren't on the email

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

01:09

yes they are

check again

mınxomaτ

ninja'd both of you

DJMcMayhem

PhiNotPi

Also, @chattingpeople, please minimize the posting of my personal information in this room.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

triple sorta ninja

@PhiNotPi apologies

@Maltysen ohhh, I thought the akif on discord was a new user >_>

DJMcMayhem

Will do

Maltysen

01:10

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ we have a discord and I'm on it? (I sounds vaguely familiar but I can't remember)

DJMcMayhem

Just in case anyone is curious, I'm James

mınxomaτ

Also, keep the podcast discussion on the mail thing. I shall convert the horrendous CC to a Google Group or something later on.

Zacharee1

@Maltysen you sound like me when I review my close votes

Maltysen

@mınxomaτ hangouts?

mınxomaτ

@DJMcMayhem That's not really personal. James is about as anonymous a name as it gets.

quartata

01:11

@PhiNotPi Don't worry I'm terrible with names.Your social security number on the other hand is forever burned into my skull

PhiNotPi

sounds painful

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Maltysen somebody named akif is

mınxomaτ

@quartata Exploiting that is going to be a headache.

Maltysen

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ its probably me, I just don't remember

quartata

Yes. I could use some disinfectant

ASCII-only

01:12

> Sherlock is Sherlock

mınxomaτ

Sherlock is not Sherlock.

Maltysen

@mınxomaτ I reply as soon as I translate the times into EST and make sure that I didn't mess up (I'm really bad with times, as you can see)

mınxomaτ

But Sherlock (the one) has completely incompatiable times.

DJMcMayhem

@mınxomaτ what do you mean by anonymous?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@mınxomaτ wait wat

mınxomaτ

01:13

@DJMcMayhem It's both a very common name and a very common alias.

DJMcMayhem

My real name is actually "John Doe"

quartata

Why do I get the feeling that minxo is just data mining

PhiNotPi

@mınxomaτ I'm not currently aware of any schedule conflicts for any of the posted times, should I say that in my response email?

DJMcMayhem

I used an alias so that it's less generic sounding

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem well that backfired then

DJMcMayhem

01:15

Lol

mınxomaτ

@PhiNotPi Sure. You are by far the most flexible person anyway. Nice for me to have the choice :)

Nathan Merrill

hey, my real name is Nathan

mınxomaτ

gasp

quartata

I mean he's gotten rough locations, schedules, names, legal signatures. Wake up sheeple he's here to break into your FTP servers

ASCII-only

@NathanMerrill Huh, TIL

Maltysen

01:16

@NathanMerrill oh I thought that it was merril

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@quartata what about these poor ones without FTP servers ;_;

quartata

@NathanMerrill Whoa. That's a game changer

Nathan Merrill

@quartata I know. Think I can still chat here?

Geobits

Wait, people use non-real names here?

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

whoah, your name is bigtoes?

PhiNotPi

01:17

@Geobits Just look at El'endia.

Geobits

Mind. Blown.

PhiNotPi

My name is actually phi, the number.

Nathan Merrill

and Martin Ender obviously is fake, as he's changed it

Geobits

I change my name sometimes too, but only to other legally adopted names.

Maltysen

@PhiNotPi is your nickname 1.618?

ASCII-only

01:19

@PhiNotPi Oh hello 1.618281828

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Geobits TIL the name-change-office is fine with Drunk Bits

Geobits

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Maltysen

We should dolphinitely scale back on the fish puns

Geobits

Just let minnow when.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Zacharee1

I swear you guys are doing this on porpoise

Geobits

01:27

Puns get trouted out here reely often it seems.

DJMcMayhem

@Geobits I think you have an addiction to puns. you should sea kelp immediately

Geobits

Whale that was a nice one :)

Zacharee1

@DJMcMayhem OK, that was good

We should all batten down our hatches

DJMcMayhem

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

that's not fish puns

you're krilling me here

Zacharee1

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ fixed

@Mego nothing..... :3

So if there's a challenge on PPCG and you can't find a language that you like, do you just make your own?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

sorta

El'endia Starman

@Zacharee1 Hmm, it seems that way sometimes, huh? :P

quartata

01:29

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ What a load of abalone. You haven't reeled over yet

Geobits

No, you make your own language just for the halibut.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Zacharee1 if it was made after, it's non-competing

quartata

Alive as ever

El'endia Starman

Nah, I made Minkolang because I wanted a more powerful Befunge/><>, basically.

Zacharee1

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ OK, thanks

El'endia Starman

quartata

01:31

@El'endiaStarman *clownfish

DJMcMayhem

@Zacharee1 I've made two so far. One was cause I like golfing in vim, and the other was because I wanted to see how much you can do with balanced brackets

Geobits

Who'll be the next to take the bait? Find out next time on dragonfish sea!

Zacharee1

o_O

is it easy to make a language?

@Geobits literally painful

ASCII-only

I've made almost one so far ;_;

DJMcMayhem

Easier than you'd think

Maltysen

01:32

^

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

but still hardish

ASCII-only

@Zacharee1 Depends how complex you want it

quartata

you young whipper snappers and your esolangs

Maltysen

@Zacharee1 you know you're really gone down the rabbit hole when you start using a golfing lang for real stuff and write a repl for it

DJMcMayhem

I was starting on a third but got side tracked

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

01:32

@Zacharee1 start with copy-pasting jelly and swapping out some characters

DJMcMayhem

@quartata Don't even start with that

Zacharee1

Esotericy seems fun :p

Conor O'Brien

IT IS

ASCII-only

@Maltysen But REPL is easy, both Logicode and Charocal have REPLs

quartata

Jellyfish is actually a thing otherwse I'd make a joke here

ASCII-only

01:33

It's literallly read eval print loop

Maltysen

@ASCII-only I'm not saying that writing the repl was hard

it just shows that I'm using it IRL

ASCII-only

IDK, I just add REPLs because it's a lot easier to debug with

well, debug a challenge solution

Geobits

@Zacharee1 Thanks! I don't usually admit this, but I was just fishing for comments with that one >_>

Zacharee1

@Geobits I'm about to leave because of that <_<

Geobits

Oh? So you're not hooked yet?

Zacharee1

01:36

hooked, but you pulled to hard on the drawback

DJMcMayhem

@El'endiaStarman I'm gonna hop on as soon as I figure out why my internet is misbehaving

quartata

Just a reple in the ocean now

How many bad fish puns does it take to constitute a bannable offence? Because Geobits has made a lot, and they're pretty carpy.
