What! Why does Sandbox have a close vote?

Winter Bash privilege abuse...

quartata

I remember someone asking to close the Sandbox for hats or something equally absurd. @noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I think

Let me check the transcript

I didn't think they were serious mind you

Xanderhall

Question. Is it okay for a question to ask for a program that will theoretically run forever? Like, "Write a program that tests all natural numbers for x property"? Usually I see them written as "Take a number N and return the Nth in the series that satisfies the property", but I think it'd be an interesting variation.

TimmyD

It's from the same time as Dennis' pinned message

Sorry about the accident.

TimmyD

@Xanderhall Sure, infinite runtimes aren't usually a problem around these parts. The only concern is like what quartata mentioned -- making sure that there's some way to recognize that the program is doing something rather than just idling.

Sherlock9

@Dennis, I can't run anything on the Nexus now. Did you accidentally turn something else off when you turned off control mode?

mınxomaτ

Heh: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

wizzwizz4

15:13

@mınxomaτ How is that funny? Ironic, yes, but funny?

Kritixi Lithos

Different people find humour in different things

quartata

I believe the joke is that Wikipedia has a list for that

Xanderhall

@TimmyD Would it be acceptable to allow for an output that isn't periodic (such as an array or string) and let people prove that it works up to an arbitrary value?

wizzwizz4

@quartata Well, that's funny, I suppose.

quartata

@Xanderhall Tough to tell without seeing it. Just sandbox it :P

Xanderhall

15:17

@quartata I was just theorycrafting and wanted clarification

I suppose "Output a series" vs "Output the Nth in the series" aren't too different in most cases.

Plus the latter is more easily testable

trichoplax

@wizzwizz4 It's hard to judge the different indicators of humour in text, but I think "heh" is sometimes used as a kind of awkward half laugh, indicating that something is worrying rather than positively humorous. I obviously can't speak for individual usages though

ErikGolferエリックゴルファー

I interpret "heh" as an unreal short laugh sound.

veryRandomMe

@TimmyD THAT is funny lol

mınxomaτ

@ErikGolferエリックゴルファー Indeed.

Xanderhall

15:21

I think of "heh" as that slight exhalation through the nostrils when something's just funny enough to earn the bare minimum response.

There's also this:

Q: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

This is useful because writing a clear and fully specified challenge on the first try can be difficult. There is a much...

That wouldn't remove close votes, though. (Not to mention it's not in the queue.)

trichoplax

I seem to remember that does work (I accidentally cleared the close votes on a question when I only intended to not close vote), but it does depend on happening to see the question in the review queue.

Question: how do I get SE to make goat-themed hat next year :/

Tyler MacDonell

Is anyone going to get upset if I post (non-competing) answers to existing questions using a new language I'm developing?

mınxomaτ

If it's just to advertise your language, yes.

DJMcMayhem

Depends on what you mean by non-competing

mınxomaτ

Answering when you know your answer is invalid (non-competing isn't really an excuse for that) is also a bad idea. That just clutters the answers.

DJMcMayhem

15:57

If you write a good/valid answer just as if it was any other answer, there's nothing wrong with using your own language so people can hear about it. I do that all the time

Emigna

If you're answering old questions, please only do 1 or 2 at a time to avoid flooding the main page with older questions

mınxomaτ

But not if it's clear that it will be non-competing. If you have to ask yourself if it's OK to post something, you probably shouldn't.

If you want to show off your language, wait for the Showcase or make valid answers to new questions.

wizzwizz4

@Downgoat Ask nicely.

Tyler MacDonell

I mean non-competing in the sense that it's a violation of the rules to answer with a language newer than the question

Downgoat

@wizzwizz4 pweaasse

wizzwizz4

15:59

@Downgoat There's a contact form for exactly this reason. (hint: don't take this advice seriously)

Tyler MacDonell

but 'correct' answers

wizzwizz4

@Downgoat I'll... see what I can do.

mınxomaτ

@TylerMacDonell Just answer new questions where you can compete. This is a vastly superior way to show you language than bumping some old question with a non-competing answer.

Better show solutions to old interesting challenges in your language docs or in the Showcase :)

Tyler MacDonell

@mınxomaτ Cool, thanks

Sherlock9

@Dennis That may be it. Who knows? backend.tryitonline.net has an average ping of 280 ms or so

Alright, it seems to be working fine now. Thanks

Silver ratio

In mathematics, two quantities are in the silver ratio (also silver mean or silver constant) if the ratio of the sum of the smaller and twice the larger of those quantities, to the larger quantity, is the same as the ratio of the larger one to the smaller one (see below). This defines the silver ratio as an irrational mathematical constant, whose value of one plus the square root of 2 is approximately 2.4142135623. Its name is an allusion to the golden ratio; analogously to the way the golden ratio is the limiting ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers, the silver ratio is the limiting ratio of...

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Which username idea?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@zyabin101 Sanguine.

@betseg Tor?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

anybody else feel this question is worth reopening?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

We can manually get IPs to FB and Twitter..

zyabin101

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Link to the username idea. >_>

Gabriel Benamy

(I suspect my code gives a smaller number, but no interpreter will run it because whatever it turns out to be is too big for me -- I think it might just be 65536^65536)

betseg

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC will probably work, can't try atm

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@zyabin101 ...

betseg

18:18

@GabrielBenamy 2^16^2^16?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Doorknob you're not going for hats this year?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

one guy who posted a link about drugs on reddit got reddit banned for all of russia

It's deleted now and russians can use reddit again

Martin Ender

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ why does this have 4 reopen votes? O_o it simply doesn't have an objective winning criterion. as opposed to code-golf, tagging something fastest-code says nothing about how scores are determined.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

> The winner of a fastest-code challenge is determined by the runtime performance of the submissions.

Gabriel Benamy

@betseg I think so, but I'm not sure, because if I start with 1 +, I get 4, then ++ makes it 65536, then +++ makes it run for an incredibly long time

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/3grpdf/…

Martin Ender

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ which you determine exactly how?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

Would my challenge (codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/99674/41088) be metacode-golf

Martin Ender

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC no

(if you mean metagolf)

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

all the avatars got unblocked suddenly

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC metagolf means a program that outputs another program, but not a quine. it's like saying "write a generator function" kinda

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC imgur was blocked?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

18:21

still is blocked

Martin Ender

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ more importantly, it's scored by the size of the output, not by the size of the generator

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yeah

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC btw, not to slam you again or anything, did you try to close the sandbox?

Dennis

Firefox, I hate your guts.

Geobits

Firefox is a coward, so it has no guts.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

why?

Dennis

18:30

Because hiding and unhiding my animated SVG "returns" to a state it never had.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

:/

Dennis

My workaround for IE/Edge bugs works just fine in Chrome, but nooo, Firefox won't let me use it.

xkcd 404 xkcd.com/404

betseg

It's a comic in some sense.

DJMcMayhem

Huh. TIL you can still edit comments on deleted posts within the grace period

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

18:38

TIL

Dennis

That's probably a bug.

Gabriel Benamy

@DJMcMayhem Do they un-delete?

betseg

@DJMcMayhem report

DJMcMayhem

@GabrielBenamy no?

quartata

I'm fairly certain that's intentional

DJMcMayhem

18:43

I can recreate it in the formatting sandbox

Dennis

Hm, yeah, it might be. IIRC you can also delete comments on a deleted post.

quartata

At least I was always under the impression it was for commenting on a post with why you deleted something

So you can edit it to fix typos or whatever before the notification and all that

DJMcMayhem

@Dennis yup, just confirmed that works too

TuxCopter

What

When I go to the Sandbox it says I'm not logged in

Gabriel Benamy

@DJMcMayhem Oh I thought you meant, like, here

quartata

18:48

@ConorO'Brien @Downgoat Is there a place equivalent to window where local variables are stored in JS?

If so does it work with closures

TuxCopter

For testing go here

zyabin101

@quartata Node?

Gabriel Benamy

ok I get "this message has been deleted and cannot be edited"

quartata

i.e do locals from the parent appear in the child

@zyabin101 ??

zyabin101

Do you use Node?

quartata

18:50

No.

zyabin101

Okay.

quartata

Transpiling to regular browser ES5

zyabin101

Okay.

El'endia Starman

What's a term that encompasses both "surplus" and "deficit"? I.e., both are differences between budget and actual spending.

arda

@betseg rip us

quartata

18:53

@arda You guys should move if it hasn't already occurred to you

El'endia Starman

Emigration is hard though.

quartata

Yeah, and not just because of red tape and logistics

But the direction this is going is not good

I mean seriously

arda

@quartata there is a minor issue

by that, I mean that both of us are minors

quartata

Ah. (Also I see what you did there)
