AAAAAA
Reddit started giving me company ads :/
 
> way too many branches
Did you actually look at the assembly? ;-)
 
(oh yeah...)
Thanks!
 
Don't you need at least 4 loops to have an inner inner inner loop?
 
wow is the rep cap broken
I downvoted and flagged some incorrect answers while I was at 200 rep

Q: A Rather Knotty Conundrum

Jorge PerezWrite a program to draw a 2-D diagram of a knot based on the knot's structure. A knot is exactly what it sounds like: a loop of rope that's tied up. In mathematics, a knot diagram shows where a piece of rope crosses over or under itself to form the knot. Some example knot diagrams are shown below...

 
11:22 PM
then my rep went up to 201 for no easily explainable reason
then one of them got deleted, the rep counter said +1, but I was back at 200
and then I just got +1 rep from a question upvote (?)
 
@ais523 o_O
 
now I'm back at 201
 
well I don't think question deletions count as part of the daily rep
 
Proud to announce my nomination for Secretary of Agriculture will be a goat.
 
I think I get it
 
11:23 PM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(
 
that's a) offtopic and b) not the real account
@Zacharee1 answer deletions, not question deletions (on other people's answers)
 
@ais523 what I meant :p
@ais523 it loooks like you downvoted something, then got some upvotes on your answer, so you got +1 total from that. Then the answer you downvoted got deleted. The counter probably just took some time to update
 
Why n0000, you were hoping for State?
 
@ais523 ik but joke
 
hm, busy flagging night
 
11:25 PM
@feersum i was going staight for pres
 
@ais523 mod flag for OT, not chat flag
 
there's a difference?
 
I hate Trump less than most people here, and that made me laugh out loud. So it stays.
 
yes
 
i had a #VoteGoat rally earlier this morning
 
11:26 PM
@ais523 chat flag notifies every user with at least 10k chat rep
 
this thing should come with an instruction manual
 
@ais523 or just don't flag everything :p
 
this is the first time I've flagged anything in chat, but it's clearly very OT
 
OT doesn't mean you should flag it necessarily
 
which is not a reason to use an offensive flag
ever
 
Kaz
11:27 PM
@ais523 Sure, but "spam/offensive" is probably not a great characterisation.
 
it'd be an offensive flag on the main site
 
chat != main
chat is very very very different
 
@Downgoat Interpreter Error at line 1; too much ambiguity
 
Kaz
Chat flags exist for things that need immediate deletion (where appropriate). Everything else can either be handled in chat, or by a mod flag.
 
although there is a chattiquette in this room....
LG, I just want to thank you for using DT2W/S
 
11:28 PM
it took me a while to even find mod flag in the interface, when someone mentioned it existed
I was kind-of expecting the flag thing to have a dropdown of options
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC solution is to use cheddar so your code will syntax error before runtime error
 
btw, I really hate SE's chat system, I'd be here more often if it were more like IRC
 
I can't stand IRC :p
 
but a) having to use a browser, b) supporting bulky things like images
makes it very hard to enjoy being here
 
@Downgoat PPCG is an english-language community, sorry
 
11:29 PM
eh i think SE chat is good
 
@ais523 why?
@Downgoat me too
IRC would be good if it was customizable by a lot and had better clients
 
IRC always has such terrible formatting
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC in IRC you can have like four or five conversations in parallel in the same channel without getting lost
and you can idle in a ton of channels
 
I can never tell who says what
 
across a ton of different networks
 
11:30 PM
@ais523 like how we're using direct replies right now?
 
Starboard is good
 
Wow, I'm really close to the rep cap. I'll need to wait until tomorrow for a cool answer.
 
well on IRC you don't need the mouse to say who you're replying too
 
@ais523 What's better about IRC for parallel conversation?
 
@ais523 oh no, my cursor needs to move 45 pixels :p
 
11:31 PM
messages take up less vertical space, and it's easy to filter out conversations you don't care about by eye
 
I like IRC too but I don't see that.
 
because they aren't bulky or full of images or the like
@Zacharee1 I have to move my hand to the mouse
 
@ais523 I need the separation. I have a really hard time separating vertical lines
 
I can IRC for hours without touching the mouse at all
 
@ais523 nuuuuuu. btw, there are userscripts to add vim-like controls to SE chat
@ais523 I like to use my keyboard more than my mouse, but I don't go that far o_O
 
11:32 PM
in almost all IRC clients, I could reply to your most recent message (as you're the person I'm replying to) by pressing Tab before typing my message
that's one keypress
 
Yeah, and if you don't like the vertical separation, you should have written your own CSS, you lazy bum! :P
 
if I wanted to reply to someone else, I could type the first letter or two of their nick, then press Tab
 
LG, I also want to thank you for this amazing DAC in my phone and these free earbuds
 
I mean SE chat is GUI based so yeah you're gonna need mouse. IRC is from a more... Textual? Era
 
@ais523 .....
 
11:33 PM
@ais523 se lets you do that?
 
here, though, if someone posts an image, a) it forces my browser to load it, which is something that I might not want to do; b) it goes and scrolls everyone else's text off the screen
 
@ais523 you just add an @ here and then tab complete though..?
 
the @ is twice as many keystrokes and doesn't put a reply arrow on
 
@feersum I actually did that! although mine's for dark theme
 
apparently if I just do @tab, it expands ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ's name
so actually it's three times as many keystrokes
 
11:34 PM
@ais523 non-Latin chars
 
we're meant to be golfing here :-(
 
@ais523 golf up a JS script to add the controls you want
or use one that's already been made
 
I should really come into chat less often, it just leaves me feeling annoyed
 
@ais523 :/
 
@ais523 we've had a shift to clarify that we golf code not anything else :P
 
11:35 PM
Or solder on an extra key to your keyboard for one-press @.
 
@feersum lol
 
@mınxomaτ that assembly is looooong, even after isolating the code
 
@flawr let's see how well I can do reading French with my Spanish knowledge :p
 
11:36 PM
not too well...
but something about bad visibility and only one death?
might be a second death?
 
To the suite of [ce] [drame:noun], the Euro Airport [to?] été fermé et the vols suspendus. The piste devrait rester fermée jusqu'à 23 hours, the temps d'être (coup de d'être??? :P) dégagée. Beaucoup of supporters d'Arsenal sont bloqués [to?] the EuroAirport, au lendemain of the rencontre of Ligue des Champions qui opposait le club londonien au FC Bâle.
Interpreting french with spanish ^
 
lol
let me try :p
 
CMC: Write a piece of text that means "The Nineteenth Byte is the main chat room of PPCG, a member of the Stack Exchange network of sites." in both spanish AND portugese
 
> A tourist plane, un bimoteur Piper PA-34, has crashed en bout de piste ce mercredi à 17 h 41 en tentant after landing at EuroAirport in Bâle-Mulhouse, alors que du fait d'un épais brouillard, visibility conditions were bad. L'appareil s'est alors embrasé.
meh
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC wut
 
@Zacharee1 Clarified.
 
11:40 PM
@Zacharee1 Mix between Fringlish and Englench. Interesting.
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC that could be interesting
@Zizouz212 like @noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC, I was using my Spanish to translate what I could understand of the French :p
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC too bad I don't really know Portuguese :p
 
Je peux parler en francais
 
Or any other distinct (and not dialects) languages. Go!
 
You can, eh? @Zizouz212
 
I understood a surprising proportion based on 5-year-old French and an A level in Spanish
\o @Ziz
 
11:42 PM
@ArtOfCode right? English + Spanish helps a lot with written French. Spoken, though...
 
If you know spanish and french, you can (supposedly) compile portuguese.
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC this is entirely false
well, not entirely
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Lo sabía!
 
(not a primary source)
 
I can do Spanish and some French, but I can't do Portuguese
 
11:43 PM
A tourist plane, a Piper PA-34, crashed at the end of the runway this Wednesday at 5:41 PM after attempting a landing at EuroAirport in Baie-Mulhouse, in heavy fog, visibility conditions were bad.
 
@Doorknob would zilni'i be a correct translation for true in Lojban, under the context of booleans?
 
Been studying French for the last 12 years :)
 
@Zizouz212 so piste is runway?
 
Yep
 
interesting
 
11:44 PM
@ConorO'Brien someone should write a programming language in Lojban
4
 
Technically, it means track iirc, but it's also used to mean runway
 
@ArtOfCode indeed!
 
oh, it's pista in Spanish, lol
 
@ArtOfCode Dos maestros de español told me this
 
@ArtOfCode Hey @Art :)
 
11:44 PM
@ArtOfCode it would be at least interactive though
 
fully: la pista de aterrizaje, so French would be something like: le piste d'atterrir?
 
Poles polish poles in poland.
 
Piste d'atterrissage
 
although, if it's feminine in Spanish, it's probably the same in French
@Zizouz212 right, not a verb
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Polish Poles polish poles in Poleland, Poland?
@Zizouz212 scarily similar to Spanish
 
That would make a good tongue twister: Polish poles polled a polling poll in Poland
 
11:47 PM
I guess I should stop being surprised at the similarities though...
 
A lot of the western european languages are awfully similar.
 
I need to learn German again
Ich Weiß ein bissen, aber es ist nicht viel
not es...
 
In America, the order of learning languages is:
 
Well, I don't know German :P
 
1. English (obvs)
2. Spanish
3. French
How 'bout in your country?
 
11:49 PM
We're your hat.
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC correction. In America, it's learn just enough English to get by :p
 
English. French. Whatever the heck your mother tongue likely is. Random languages of the world :)
 
@Zizouz212 Canadia! (my history teacher calls it that and I have to say I agree)
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC really? I don't think that many people learn French
 
lol
 
11:50 PM
@DJMcMayhem not many people in the US learn a third language
 
How you 'mericans doing down there?
 
Heck, I know more people who know Japanese than people who speak French
 
@DJMcMayhem Always two spanish teachers and one french teacher.
 
@Zizouz212 cold
 
Choices for second language
 
11:50 PM
@DJMcMayhem really?

Q: Smallest possible runnable exectuble

Martin M.What is the smallest possible runnable Mach-O executable on x86_64? The program can do nothing (not even returning a return code), but must be a valid executable (must run without errors). My try: GNU Assembler (null.s): .text .globl _main _main: retq Compilation & Linking: as -o null....

 
Yeah, it just snowed round here
 
@Zizouz212 all our nice famous people are dying, (fact not opinion -- not going there) a non-politician is our president-elect, all our phones are getting rid of IR blasters and removable batteries.... 2016 is BLEGH
 
Just snowed? We got snow a while back... but it's half melted :(
 
11:51 PM
oh, and it's raining at ~0C almost every day now
 
@Zizouz212 do you Canadians use Fahrenheit or Celsius?
 
Both.
 
ew
 
Fahrenheit for baking. Celsius for everything else :)
 
dafuq
 
11:52 PM
Oh. That would actually be really nice, never be confused again
 
Canadia is a strange place...
they even use LTE B29 there, pshh
 
Most people's oven will use fahrenheit... But that's just about it :)
 
@Zacharee1 that's nothing. :P it's -13C here and the sun hasn't even set yet
 
Are the ovens Canadian brands or just imported US ones? @Zizouz212
 
I have no clue what
is Canadian :P
 
11:53 PM
@DJMcMayhem You in Alaska or something?
@Zizouz212 tsk tsk :p
 
Colorado
 
I just focus on making food. Not figuring out who made my oven :)
I make good food too :)
 
@DJMcMayhem the now-aptly-name Mile High City of Denver?
 
@DJMcMayhem Colorado, and the sun hasn't set?
 
@Zizouz212 it's like 4 or 5 there

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

fortyCakesChristmas Present Viewing code-golf ascii-art You're stacking Christmas presents, and you'd like to make sure that the pile will be aesthetically pleasing from whichever side you view it, without having to actually go through all the hard work of stacking them. Write a program that takes the s...

 
Oh wait. You're west :P
 
@Zacharee1 lol. Yep
 
@Zizouz212 where are you?
oh Toronto
 
@Zizouz212 setting. It's not dark yet
 
On top of you :)
It's pitch black here (been like that for a while)
 
11:55 PM
@Zizouz212 I'm PA/NJ, so no :p
 
@Zacharee1 Where are you from?
 
^^^
I feel like I have an obligation to go to Canada again or Mexico now that I have T-Mobile :p
 
@Zizouz212 that's cause you're basically in the north pole. :P
 
lol
We live in igloos!
 
@Zizouz212 so I can't figure out Canadian accent regions. The place where I heard the deepest stereotypical accent was 5 miles north of NY.
 
11:57 PM
@Zizouz212 With free healthcare!
 
The one time I've been to Canada it was pretty nice
 
How'd it go?
 
Stereotypical accent?
 
@DJMcMayhem Toronto dips below part of NY ;P
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC not in Vancouver I hear
 
Oh geez my phone is at %1
 
11:57 PM
or was it BC?
 
RIP
 
@DJMcMayhem runnnnnnn!
 
@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Such a smart subject. bundle.js:14:9656
 
@Zizouz212 ohh, soary aboot that, eh
 
@Zacharee1 Healthcare falls under the provinces. All of them have free healthcare though
@Zacharee1 That sounds british...
 
11:58 PM
@ConorO'Brien :)
 
@Zizouz212 sowrry abaout that, mayte
 
That's better
 
I think I mashed like 3 accents together there
 
Never heard that
 
@Zizouz212 just Googled, haven't watched, but youtube.com/watch?v=Uogdn7zWDmY
