How do you propose changes to a post?
 
Propose changes or edit?
 
@DrMcMoylex what about the string interpolation stuff?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ fxd
 
@Yodle There's usually a little "edit" button underneath.
 
@Maltysen what do you mean?
 
6:01 PM
You may have to join Meta if you haven't already.
 
@DrMcMoylex I don't want to straight up edit the post since I don't know if he would want to change the challenge, but I think it'd be more interesting if he did it slightly differently.
 
-1 That red circle is nearly completely obscuring the issue.
 
@Geobits I was going to post the same thing, but look closely and you'll see it actually isn't
 
@TuxCopter better image
 
Yeah, I mean, you can see it, but it's harder to see with the circle than it would be without, which kinda defeats the prupose.
 
@Yodle then you should just comment. Even if you could propose an edit, that's not the best approach because other users would review it
 
wat
all right guys let's talk vim vs other editors
spoiler: vim wins
 
@Geobits Ah, yes, Easterly's image is much better
 
@wat No
@wat And no :P
 
wat
:(
 
6:03 PM
@DrMcMoylex Ah okay, will wait to see what they think then.
 
n00b here. Is there a wiki or guide for the codegolf stackexchange?
 
wat
@obarakon what exactly do you need help with?
 
@obarakon not exactly, no
@wat #emacs4ever
/s
 
wat
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Umm
Emacs is dead
 
I just discovered codegolf. I'm looking for possible tutorials or literature
 
6:04 PM
@wat if the competition is "which editor starts the most useless flamewars" then yes, vim wins.
 
no it's not
@wat it came installed on my mac
 
wat
To me it is
@DrMcMoylex Haha.
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ cool
macs are dead too
 
@obarakon There aren't really any "tutorials" as such, though we do have pages of golfing tips in specific languages
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I only wanted to show the star that is half in the message box
 
@Yodle Once you get 1000 on a public beta site, you can edit, so you no longer have the option of suggesting an edit. Once we get a design, that will go up to 2000.
 
6:05 PM
@wat no, that's headphone jacks
@TuxCopter yeah, but you can't see it as-is. the circle can be a little bit better than needed
 
wat
@obarakon There are questions on the site with pages of tips for code golf in various languages.
 
@obarakon what languages do you know?
@wat I literally just said that :p
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ right
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Cool. Anything on JavaScript or C#? Or are those not good golfing languages?
 
JS is, C# not really
 
wat
6:06 PM
@obarakon There are also some general tips that apply to most languages: omit whitespace where possible, use short variable names, don't use comments, etc.
 
@obarakon Welcome to the site! The best way to get started is just to write some answers. People are usually pretty helpful and friendly. You can also chat in here, where people are almost always hanging out and talking about various things
 
wat
@obarakon Some people use those.
 
@trichoplax Ooooh okay, I thought suggesting was a different thing than editing. I guess since I hit 1000 recently, I can just edit now.
 
wat
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Both are dead
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yeah, I noticed after sending it
 
@obarakon also, many people here create their own languages to golf in
 
6:07 PM
@obarakon Plenty of us use JavaScript and C#. Here are the tips: JavaScript, C#
 
@Yodle If you want to make changes that are too substantial for suggesting in a comment, remember that edits can be rolled back. Sometimes I make extensive edits and then say in the edit reason and/or a comment "Please roll back if this changes your intention".
 
@ETHproductions Thanks!
 
@Yodle Yes hitting 1000 means you are trusted to use your own judgement on when to edit now :)
 
@trichoplax Ah yeah that seems like the best way to do it. I think I'll leave the post alone though since it doesn't really seem like it'd be much different. I kinda just wanted to see different patterns other than the 37 one.
 
@obarakon No problem :) And good luck golfing!
 
6:10 PM
@Yodle Just []()
 
@ETHproductions I'm reading the C# tips. So much cleverness, it's inspiring
 
@obarakon but seriously, welcome to the site! don't be afraid to post an answer, the community here can almost always help you with golfing on an answer-by-answer basis.
 
@TuxCopter I know, i was trying to put parenthesis around the link text :P guess that doesn't work though.
 
You can do ([a](b)), but not ([a])(b)
 
ahhh, that makes sense
Oh cool, he just edited it to allow n points.
 
6:12 PM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ That's awesome. I noticed that from my first couple submissions.
 
@Yodle in that case, don't edit it
it would be cool, yes, but that changes the challenge significantly. that should be up to the OP
 
I did it guys, I answered a serious challenge using COW
 
@obarakon also, congrats on figuring out how to use the reply button, many people just ping the person without the context :P
 
@GabrielBenamy :O
 
@GabrielBenamy COW?

@obarakon Yeah when I posted my first answer a few months ago everyone was very helpful with tips and stuff (I started with C# as well, and am still mostly using it).
 
@GabrielBenamy wait wat
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ >.<
 
@GabrielBenamy my eyes are blleding pls halp
 
6:14 PM
@GabrielBenamy That language though...
I expect the cow puns to start again now...
 
It was the first esolang I ever came across and I've been fascinated with it ever since.
 
@Yodle Hopefully Geobits is off
 
wat
@GabrielBenamy copy on write?
 
Stupid me, I swapped the positions of popMatrix and pushMatrix
 
wat
@Yodle yeah, people really milked the language for puns last time
 
6:17 PM
By the way, the TIO link is actually a Perl script I wrote to interpret COW, and accepts a COW program as a parameter.
MOO
 
@wat ... No
 
Now to explain what the code actually does
 
@GabrielBenamy It's easy: It do black magic
 
@TuxCopter Milk magic.
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
6:19 PM
@TuxCopter no no no, its durk majik
not zis "black magic", durk majik

s.dk0.us redirected you too many times.

@TuxCopter I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about some people's bovine sense of humour
 
6:22 PM

@TuxCopter i read that as a misspelling of Canada at first
@TuxCopter I have it
 
@wat seriously, that's not working
 
Kannada /ˈkɑːnədə, ˈkæ-/ (ಕನ್ನಡ kannaḍa; IPA: [ˈkʌnːəɖɑː]), also known as Canarese or Kanarese /kænəˈriːz/, is a Dravidian language spoken predominantly by Kannada people in India, mainly in the state of Karnataka, and by linguistic minorities in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Kerala, and Goa. The language has roughly 40 million native speakers who are called Kannadigas (Kannaḍigaru), and a total of 50.8 million speakers according to a 2001 census. It is one of the scheduled languages of India and the official and administrative language of the state of Karnataka...

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Try it using http. This isn't an https website.
I redirect to http
you know what
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ so why are there sun like symbols (I forgot the name)
 
wat
6:31 PM
I should just start allowing https connections. I have a cert and everything
 
@betseg that's characters from a south indian language, kannada
 
It is? o_o i thought it's accent symbol without a letter
 
Like ◌͈
 
@betseg ಶ_ಶ
 
6:34 PM
@betseg Kannada is an abugida, which means vowel symbols attach to consonants instead of having their own symbols like in an alphabet. The dotted circle is a placeholder when there's no consonant to attach to. It's not a Kannada character.
 
Ah as I thought
 
oops, I was wrong then
 
@Doorknob Vowels have their own symbols, just they must attach to a consonant
 
@TuxCopter Right, I meant as opposed to an alphabet where vowels have standalone symbols and you just write everything one by one.
 
Edit summary: -21 bytes, and added explanation tree (not that I expect it to be especially helpful)
 
6:39 PM
please refrain from golfing answers with edits (if that's what you did)
 
Y'all talk a lot.

@TimmyD this is considered a lot? O_o
 
I just found an awesome library for making a compiler
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I'm not sure what you mean. If I manage to improve my answer, shouldn't I be able to edit my answer and update it?

it's okay

@ETHproductions This is true. Like a challenge posted by Calvin gets updooted out the wazoo.
 
I'd name-drop Calvin too if I was a new user looking for rep ;) — Geobits Jul 27 '15 at 18:01
 
@ETHproductions because they're very well golfed, not the name
 
@GabrielBenamy Dang, that's a slick observation with the repdigits. Have an updoot.
 
@marsh In theory, yes. In reality, people are flawed. It'd be an interesting experiment to run, having a high-rep user create a new account to post a few challenges to gauge the difference in reception. — Geobits Jul 28 '15 at 19:10
