I feel like I'm losing my plaice.

quartata

We're basting all this pun potential

Doorknob

@NathanOsman Like a fish out of water?

Please merciful cod, make it stop

Kaz Wolfe

wow, the future for this chat looks bleak.

Nathan Osman

(Sidenote: anyone else using this page? I can't be the sole one.)

quartata

02:01

@Mego don't use his name in bayne

Geobits

@KazWolfe I'm quite frond of this place, thank you very much ;)

quartata

@NathanOsman Nope all original

Serg

The pun quality might start to get slightly carp-y , but we're going. There's a few here and there that can kraken people up. I'm sure salmon can think of a few more

Anonymous

Those puns were so precise, you'd think they were made by a sturgeon

quartata

Nice bait. Did you rehearse that line

Anonymous

02:03

Nope, I just cast it out and hoped someone would bite

quartata

shipwrecked

Nathan Osman

Oooh! That's a snapper.

Anonymous

I'm quite the clownfish :)

quartata

With how mercurial you are I thought you were the tilefish

Kaz Wolfe

God, you guys are really drumming up the humor.

Nathan Osman

02:05

That's toad-ely funny.

coddammit are we on one of those pun things again

Anonymous

@Downgoat I think you meant coddammit

Serg

@Downgoat bass-icaly, we are

quartata

02:06

@KazWolfe Panko you

Kaz Wolfe

This chat is only goatfish or puns.

quartata

for the kind seawerds

Serg

@KazWolfe would it be better with seahorses instead of goats ?

Nathan Osman

I goat to get some work done now.

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg See starboard. (wait, that works! :D)

Downgoat

02:07

@NathanOsman +1 goat puns are best puns. We have goat to start using more

Serg

looks lovely, almost like plankton in the sea

Geobits

@Downgoat Oh geez, that's just being sailfish.

Kaz Wolfe

@Downgoat You've got to be kidding me.

Downgoat

ಠ_ಠ

quartata

@Downgoat I take it you cantfish

(drop the n)

Geobits

02:08

He can be part of the grouper not. His choice.

Kaz Wolfe

But downgoat reciting Hamlet would just not be cool at all.

quartata

@Geobits Let's not be bastey. There are weather options

I'm exhausted. I think we've pretty much done all the good ones.

Doorknob

> good

quartata

Someone go all the way back and wrap it in a proper conversation for our viewing entertainment

Kaz Wolfe

Well, it's been fun, Jack. But this pun train needs to stop before one of the mods snipefish our accounts.

quartata

02:12

@Doorknob They worm up to you eventually

Kaz Wolfe

Also I need help learning ><> if anybody wants to bother helping.

Geobits

@quartata With one sole exception.

Serg

@KazWolfe learn fish shell first

quartata

@Sp3000 or @El'endiaStarman would be the people to ask

Serg

@Zacharee1 i'm still not happy Zach didn't implement his merge sort with stingArrays

El'endia Starman

02:14

Sp3000 more so.

quartata

@Geobits Wrap up all the fish puns to-go will yah

Kaz Wolfe

So yeah, these puns have definitely goatten out of hand. Can we please stop kidding ourselves now?

quartata

I can't seem to get conversation bookmarking working for some reason

Geobits

I'd rather wait for it to actually die out. I just know someone's going to wriggle another one in as soon as I pull up the line.

quartata

@KazWolfe did you seriously just goat there

Serg

02:15

@KazWolfe wolf you kindly stop driving the conversation away from fish puns ?

Kaz Wolfe

@quartata I did just ram on that door.

quartata

no double goat puns

Serg

although we could use some fresh water here . . .

Kaz Wolfe

Are ewe mad, @Serg? (sheep count, they're close enough)

Geobits

If sheep count as goats, I've been feta lie my entire life.

Serg

02:17

@KazWolfe I'm mildly amusseled only

Conor O'Brien

hey are you the dude from that AU place the people keep on talking about

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg I think you should wolf down some food and just enjoy yourself.

Serg

@ConorO'Brien which dude you're point at ?

Maltysen

what sort of puns are we doing now?

Conor O'Brien

@Serg you

Geobits

02:18

@Maltysen I think you missed the meat, and just came in on the tail end.

Serg

@ConorO'Brien uh . . .maybe . . . i hope people are saying good things , if they're talking about me. . .

also why ?

Kaz Wolfe

@Geobits He really missed out on howling good time.

Conor O'Brien

39 mins ago, by Zacharee1

But where's the @Serg?

just this

Geobits

Wait what? Neither fish nor goats nor sheep howl. Where in the wolf are you getting "howling" from?

Serg

@KazWolfe I'm gonna be a lone wolf and keep on talking about them puns

quartata

02:21

Wolffish?

Kaz Wolfe

@Geobits It's obvious. Or are you just barking mad?

Serg

@ConorO'Brien well yup, that's me i suppose :D

Conor O'Brien

\o/

Geobits

@KazWolfe Sorry. I've just been lupine back and forth on the fish thing for too long.

Serg

30 mins more and time to go home

ain't nothing done as usual

Geobits

02:22

@Serg Full moon coming out?

Kaz Wolfe

@Geobits Wait, werewolf are you getting these jokes?

Serg

@Geobits nope, just closing time for my work place. I've plank-ton of of things to do, but i was procrastinating with xml files and python

Geobits

@KazWolfe "Getting" them? I wouldn't consider myself half man if I were cheating to find jokes.

Kaz Wolfe

Well, it's been fun, but I need to C my coffee machine for a cup of Java. (yes, @Geobits, i concede to your lupine pun skills)

Serg

@KazWolfe don't trip over a snake . . .i mean python

Geobits

02:25

It's hard to put a python strong pun-making skills.

Serg

I'm running out of steam here

Kaz Wolfe

My brain just can't compile good puns fast enough.

Serg

I need to start assembling them puns into lists . . .

But those puns better have class . . .

Kaz Wolfe

god damn it serg i was about to use an assembly pun to make a nice dynamic joke.

Geobits

sergfault

Kaz Wolfe

02:28

SergOverflow

Serg

@KazWolfe give me some pointers on how i can improve

Kaz Wolfe

does anybody else think these jokes are getting too Meta StackExchange?

Geobits

As much as I'd love to repl these things all night, I must be going. Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish!

Serg

o/ sail well into the dream land Geo

Kaz Wolfe

Don't let the bedbugs byte!

Serg

02:31

curl with some warm blanket

Geobits

Bed? No, no. You misunderstand. I just have actual things to do. And I'm going. Now. Really.

Serg

oh, ok . . . well for thing in things: do_things() . Bye

Downgoat

Conor O'Brien

Downgoat

Conor O'Brien

Downgoat

@KazWolfe s/bedbugs byte/upvoters vote/

PhiNotPi

Honestly, I wish there were a way to make my name always pingable.

Mainly so that people can always "get in contact with me"

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

03:05

@flawr r/spiderbro

Downgoat

@PhiNotPi use email :P

PhiNotPi

I have considered the use of my phinotpi.com domain as my own private source of throwaway email addresses.

Downgoat

yea but then they get your domain to dos

PhiNotPi

yeah, I know. Luckily, I also (for now) own the .xyz domains of qx3, jbij, ulub, and xoix.

(don't worry those all cost $0.08 combined total)

xnor

@mbomb007 i think that's a bit much for one tip, you can add a new one if you want

Downgoat

03:34

I made babel plugin \o/ \o/ \o/

Helka Homba

@El'endiaStarman Not sure I can 1.11 running rn

@PhiNotPi join up on helkahomba.mcserver.ws :D

creative mode fun

El'endia Starman

04:03

@HelkaHomba: Well done. You crashed Minecraft. :P

Helka Homba

Still running on my end

and I didn't start the reaction

El'endia Starman

You sure put hundreds of thousands of TNT blocks there though.

Well, technically, my Minecraft didn't crash. It just stopped responding.

Lemme know when it's done going "boom". :P

Helka Homba

Still waiting...

Helka Homba

04:24

@El'endiaStarman Should be good now

I ended up just deleting the whole end folder

El'endia Starman

Sheesh. Couldn't \kill @e[type=TNT]?

Helka Homba

idk, too late now

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

04:36

@HelkaHomba What happened to the survival world?

Helka Homba

It's still intact... but now lots of people are opped

El'endia Starman

04:55

Lemme know when TheRealAlien isn't playing anymore.

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

@HelkaHomba SORRY!

Why does everyone hate me

I was just messing around and I made a small error in my command

Helka Homba

....that's maybe why no command blocks

Even tons of tnt didn't crash my game

@DmitryKudriavtsev What were you trying to do?

@El'endiaStarman All good now. Reset nether. Disabled command blocks.

El'endia Starman

I need to go to bed now though.

Helka Homba

Yeah

Destructible Watermelon

what is

Anonymous

Man trying to be a newbie at Nethack and getting teleportitis sucks

Destructible Watermelon

Controlled teleporting is cool though

@Mego It took me about a minute to parse that

I had a cool idea for a 2d lang: sine waves

I think its fairly self explanatory

also I was led to believe there would be upvotes if I outgolf people?

ASCII-only

@DestructibleWatermelon Not self explanatory to me

@DestructibleWatermelon No, we're trying to discourage that

There should be upvotes if you have a smart solution

Qwerp-Derp

06:53

Hmmm

A portal lang?

Destructible Watermelon

07:09

@ASCII-only I think I did that as well

it was sufficiently different from other answers

@ASCII-only the IP goes up and down on a sine wave execution path, with commands to alter the wave as control flow

I'd post the answer here but I'm afraid of downvotes

Qwerp-Derp

I doubt anyone here knows about progcomp in Aus

Destructible Watermelon

?

betseg

Morning

Destructible Watermelon

yo

Qwerp-Derp

It's this programming competition thing

Which is really kule

For like high school students

Destructible Watermelon

07:16

huh

I hadn't heard of it before

Qwerp-Derp

It's in Australia

So yeah

Destructible Watermelon

I'm in australia

Qwerp-Derp

Oh kule

I thought you were in the US

engineering.unsw.edu.au/computer-science-engineering/… <-- Here's the link

Destructible Watermelon

please stop with the kules

Qwerp-Derp

:(

But "kule" is cool...

Destructible Watermelon

07:19

...

I want to compete with Turtlèd!

Qwerp-Derp

imagine if the markers get golfed code

Destructible Watermelon

It says the most tasks completed

and programmers produce about the same amount of lines of code

regardless of language

all Turtlèd code is on one line...

Insta win

Qwerp-Derp

Boom easy

Destructible Watermelon

I wonder how many esolangs have competed...

Qwerp-Derp

Imagine if someone gets a perfect score in BF

That would be beautiful

Destructible Watermelon

07:23

I think some of the tasks will include internet

JSFuck will probably work though

but that's not really eso programming

just translating

it would still be funny if they got a javascript submission as JSFuck

Qwerp-Derp

Where in Aus are you from?

Destructible Watermelon

Not new south wales

Qwerp-Derp

Ah

Destructible Watermelon

check out the old questions

> [...] A god solution [...]

Qwerp-Derp

In ProgComp?

Destructible Watermelon

07:29

For a second I thought they meant one that would get a lot of points!

@Qwerp-Derp yup

actual read to get an idea for the actual competition

also, wouldn't it be cool if we entered the ProgComp together? that would probably be extremely improbable though

Qwerp-Derp

True

Don't you need a team of 3 anyway?

Destructible Watermelon

... I know a guy who might be interested in entereing

IDK though

Qwerp-Derp

Hmmm

Destructible Watermelon

I also know another guy, but I don't really like them

ASCII-only

@DestructibleWatermelon wait you're Australian?

Destructible Watermelon

07:32

? Why is this surprising?

I don't get it

ASCII-only

I'm just surprised there are so many Australians here

Qwerp-Derp

I really want to chant "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE"

Destructible Watermelon

You know, a lot of these challenges would be thrown out of ppcg, because they can just be hardcoded

ASCII-only

Yeah, these look too easy for PPCG IMO :P

> Gotchas If your language is untyped, you may have to force integer operations

Destructible Watermelon

also 64 doors part just seems like print the number of numbers from 1 to 64 that have an odd number of factors

ASCII-only

07:37

Wait wat

Destructible Watermelon

one of the challenges

Is there a factorise builtin?

Hey, someone should enter with a golfing lang or something

There is a bad test case for the spoonerism challenge

Qwerp-Derp

Which one?

So are we just picking apart the ProgComp challenges now?

Destructible Watermelon

actually there are multiple ones...

also bad as in "naughty"

Qwerp-Derp

Hmmm...

I don't understand why the first input is the number of inputs in most of the questions

ASCII-only

@Qwerp-Derp Because C++

Ton Hospel

07:43

C++ has a fine vector class on which you can push elements

ASCII-only

It's a lot easier in some languages to just do

byte len = atoi(argv[0]) + 1;std::vector<std::string> foo;for (byte i = 1; i < len; i++)foo.push_back(std::string(argv[i]))

Ton Hospel

argv + 1 :-)

ASCII-only

@DestructibleWatermelon Enter with Jelly :P

Destructible Watermelon

someone should, not me

I don't know jelly

If someone entered with brainflak that would be amazing

ASCII-only

@DestructibleWatermelon 1. Too late for me to enter next year, 2. there's like nobody else other than Qwerp-Derp

Destructible Watermelon

07:47

;_;

Qwerp-Derp

Wait you guys can't enter?

Are both of you out of high school already?

ASCII-only

No just me I'm graduating in like two weeks

@DestructibleWatermelon What about you?

Destructible Watermelon

07:51

IDK

Qwerp-Derp

You can do the progcomp, right?

Destructible Watermelon

it actually says up to 3 students

protip

Wait, I think the school actually has to organise the teams...

._.

Anonymous

@mınxomaτ Only problem is that they used Bandicam instead of some free software that doesn't watermark (like OBS)

Destructible Watermelon

I would have liked to do Progcomp but I don't think the school is the kind of school that would do that

Qwerp-Derp

@DestructibleWatermelon Go to a different school

lol

Destructible Watermelon

08:03

I wish

I want to, but my dad said no

Mostly because he just wants to be difficult

Qwerp-Derp

I am willing to bet that you're older than me

Destructible Watermelon
