Can we make a checkbox in wireworld
Well cuz I'm going the long and hard way to make it
 
Hello
 
11:35 AM
A German newspaper sued (and won) a YouTuber for showing people how to setup Adblock for their site.
 
Anonymous
@mınxomaτ So they won the lawsuit, but now they're going to lose the internet
 
Each mention from him about blocking the adblocker-blocker in the future will incur a 250k € fine or 6 months jail.
 
Umm... blocking the adblock blocker?
 
Anonymous
@mınxomaτ My head hurts
 
The court that handled this case is known for lacking basic knowledge of anything technologically more sophisticated than a rock.
 
Anonymous
11:44 AM
Was the Youtuber German also?
 
I finally made a (somewhat) working wireworld checkbox
 
@Mego Yes
 
Anonymous
So the next step is for an American Youtuber to post a video showing how to setup Adblock
 
Anonymous
Then said stone-age German court won't have jurisdiction
 
(The somewhat working wireworld checkbox)
I'm going to go submit it on the create a checkbox question
(It sometimes bugs out but dont mind that)
the most important thing is I dont know how to score those
 
11:50 AM
@mınxomaτ Germany is crazy

@MartinEnder It seems you like reading...
 
@mınxomaτ ...wow
 
@mınxomaτ Huh? Source?
 
@MatthewRoh I think you score by the total number of pixels required to make that a working "program"
 
12:03 PM
umm
 
Yeah that might work but I just asked in meta to make sure
@mınxomaτ Well why dont we block blocking adblock blockers?
 
Wait you attended the court or something?

Q: How do we score turing complete cellular automata (GoL, Wireworld, etc)

Matthew Roh Here is a checkbox I made in wireworld, for the "Create a checkbox!" question. The problem is, we don't have a way to score answers like these. Do we score these by pixels, like piet did, or in other ways?

 
12:28 PM
@mınxomaτ This is ridiculous...
@mınxomaτ btw: I have another idea to test your inpainting programs: Removal of foreground stars in astronomical pictures.
 
Or a lake on a map/photo
 
Or remove iPhones from the face of the Earth
 
12:47 PM
Or removal of the apple company in the apple company
 
1:14 PM
Does this wireworld checkbox look good
Its just an XOR connected to itself, acting as a memory iirc

I found this question and immediately thought, "MAKE THIS AN ESOLANG"

Q: ASCII Triangles

OkxYours task is to write a program that makes an ASCII triangle. They look like this: |\ | \ | \ ---- Your program will take a single numeric input n, with the constraints 0 <= n <= 1000. The above triangle had a value of n=3. The ASCII triangle will have n backslashes (\) and vertical bars (...

mbomb007Your goal is to create an alphabet song as text in the following form: A is for <word starting with A> B is for <word starting with B> C is for <word starting with C> ...

@NewMainPosts I really wish if we could output whatever we want for case 0
 
Lol, I just got captcha'd answering mbomb's question.
 
I got Captcha'd on the triangle one
I guess that's what happens when you just copy-paste from TIO
 
I don't understand the captchas on this site. Sometimes I mistype my password, it then asks for a captcha and then brings me back to the empty login screen instead of login me in...

@ChristopherPeart what about modulus
 
Hmmm
You can choose as it is only a CMC depending on how hard you want it. But I vote for no

4:50 PM
I'm literally tearing up at all of the puns I want to make about this comment I just got from a coworker:
> nope... i trashed my browser "history" (witch is what i think ended my session Just like it dose with <redacted>) when you where standing here and had not started creating the bug before then. Anyway the point is mute its a <redacted> issue/bug.
"Better pour some water on that witch so you don't keep losing your history."
"Sorry, couldn't hear your mute point. Can you type it louder?"

But I can't make them because of this Slack chat is company wide and it would look unprofessional
So you guys get to tell me how dumb I'm being instead :)
 
That is great
Send it as a PM
 
Can't think of a good dose pun
 
Well that dose it

Q: Can I get a collection of Chat Mini challenges?

Christopher PeartIn TNB we get bored some times. So to spend our time we have Chat Mini challenges. They do not have to be very long or have every last rule written since about 2-5 people respond. For example Poke asked for a CMC, I replied with "Return the factors of a number without using the division operator ...

 
5:11 PM
@Trelzevir Like this. Now we can chat about code golf!
 
@J843136028 Yes
 
@Trelzevir How far are you with the golf?
 
Not very far at the moment.
 
I managed to do a lambda that 'twists' iterables.
@Trelzevir Having to write your name every time I post is annoying. I keep forgetting.
 
@J843136028 Yes, same.
 
5:19 PM
@Trelzevir I'm copying and pasting it now.
 
@J843136028 Me too.
 
@Trelzevir lol
 
@J843136028 What a lunch.
 
@Trelzevir With my lunch, that was a lunch. A big one, too.
 
@people In this answer, I found the easiest solution included the word zoofilia. Should I redact it in my list of words?
 
5:24 PM
@Trelzevir @J843136028 Welcome to the 19th byte! You don't need to at-mention someone unless you explicitly want a ping/notification sent to that person.
Like I did there, but not here.
 
Ok.
 
@AdmBorkBork I know. We've got Python and a browser in different windows.
 
zoofilia isn't a word in english
 
@LliwTelracs it's slang
 
@muddyfish I don't see it as more offensive than the plethora of Brainfuck derivatives, but, I'm pretty lax on whether words are offensive.
 
5:30 PM
Bother. I just realised you can't do [x,x+1 for x in range(10)] to produce [0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10] or anything like that in Python. Can you do anything similar (and don't give me a method specific to this example)?
 
I would say it's invalid because it should be spelt with ph not f
 
With the ph is the clinical word, with the f is the slang
 
It doesn't come up at all when I search the f version on thefreedictionary or dictionary.com
 
@Trelzevir Do you know?
 
Not even as slang
 
5:33 PM
Yeah, it's not common parlance.
 
Might be acceptable as slang, but I'm not about to search on Google, because, you know...
 
@J843136028 you could use [[x,x+1]for x in range(10)] to get a list of lists?
 
it's in the dictionary Pyke uses
 
I really don't want a list of lists, but if I can't do the other thing, I might as well.
@Trelzevir
 
@J843136028 you could flatten it with sum([[x,x+1]for x in range(10)],[]), but that might be too long
 
5:37 PM
@Trelzevir Thanks! That's amazing!
 
@J843136028 :)
 
Ehm
 
@Trelzevir When you're making deliberate spelling mistakes to see if your computer will fix them or not...
 
@J843136028 @Trelzevir You might want to move your discussion to another room since you seem to just be talking to one another and not the room as a whole
 
if you like, I could create a dedicated chat room for that
@LliwTelracs What is your profile picture from?
And what does your name mean?
 
5:43 PM
@DJMcMayhem It was a random free picture, name is Will Scarlet backwards
 
Ah. Is that your IRL name?
 
No. Based off of robin hood -> Nibor Dooh thing
 
Oh I haven't read Robin Hood in so long, I forgot that name
 
I technically can, but noone would like reforming a chatroom into a code editor
 
@LliwTelracs Sorry, I don't know much about chat.
How do you create a new room?
 
5:53 PM
You need 1k rep I think.
I'll do it for you
 
not 1k
 
@DJMcMayhem Thanks.
 
100 rep to create chat rooms
 
Oh. Nevermind then
Either way, here it is:

 Room for J843136028, MSoRMvzH8g and T

Chatting about code golf challenges that Trelzevir, MSoRMvzH8g...
 
And to create a chat room from another chat room click on the person's name next to one of their posts. It will show a popup which includes start a new room with this user.
 
5:57 PM
I found a weird thing with tag synonym wikis. They don't match up.
There's no way to edit the tag wiki for
A mod probably has to do it.
@DJMcMayhem So how does one create a chatroom?
 
Uhh, I kinda just fumbled around until I found the "create room" button
I think it's on the "all rooms" page
Yeah, at the bottom
@LliwTelracs oh yeah, I looked up the priveleges and 1k is for gallery chat rooms
 
@Trelzevir Come into our new room!
Oh, I guess you've gone.
 
Oooh, challenge idea "flak-sort" a string. Compare two strings by what they evaluate to in brain-flak
 
6:13 PM
hm
 
I'd remove the irrelevant parts of the language like <>, {...}, and []
Should I include [...]?
 
6:27 PM
nah
@DJMcMayhem I'd include it as a monad, but not as a nilad
 
Now seems a good time to ask. What exactly do the Brain-Flak brackets mean?
I've tried to read the documentation, but I couldn't parse it
 
okay
(n) evaluates to n, and () defaults to 1
[n] evaluates to -n, and [] defaults to the height of the current stack
{} is like while top_of_stack == True: execute_inside_of_the_brackets
<codehere> is execute codehere, but return 0 no matter what
{} with nothing inside is pop from the stack
and <> with nothing inside is swap the active stack
@DJMcMayhem am I correct?
 
@Riker Which one? Square brackets?
 
yeah
for -n, but not for the height of the current stack
 
What's <n>?
Wait I remembered, do n but evaluate it as 0
 
6:33 PM
Ok, several questions, but I'm trying to crunch all of that information. First, <> swaps the active stack with what? How many stacks are we dealing with here?
 
<1> or <2> or <3> etc.
@Pavel yeah
but it's not necessarily <n>, it can be multiple bytes of code
 
@Sherlock9 2
 
like <[5]>
@Sherlock9 yeah, only 2
CLA are pushed to the active stack at program start
so no runtime input
and only end-of-program output
 
@DJMcMayhem Just the top of the stack at the end, or sum of the active stack, or what?
 
So what is add 1 to the active stack? ()?
 
6:35 PM
@Sherlock9 (())
You need (n) to push anything
 
@Pavel No, that's push one
 
Isn't that what was asked?
 
@Sherlock9 That is ({}()) which translates to push (pop () +1)
Oh wait, push one or increment? I might have misunderstood
 
So two is (()())
I did mean increment
 
'Add' is ambiguous.
 
6:36 PM
Sorry, I was unclear
 
({}()) is increment iirc
right?
 
Meant add 1 to the top thing on the active stack
 
{} = pop from stack, and () is 1, and then () adds them
 
@Riker Ninja'd by like a good half a minute
 
Push two to the active stack is (()()), right?
 
6:37 PM
lol
 
@Riker Yeah that's correct
 
To transfer an element from one stack to the other is ({}<>)
Push(Pop()+Toggle())
 
So pushing two to the active stack is (()()), right?
 
Yes
 
You just asked that
 
6:39 PM
Nobody gave an affirmative
So I repeated my question
 
yeah, that's correct
 
Oh, I didn't realze who DjMcMayhem was replying to earlier
 
do we have a brainflak room @DJMcMayhem?
 
Thank you very much
 
I think it's frozen
 
6:40 PM
@Riker Yup!
Not frozen
 

 The Third Stack

A chat room for discussing the Brain-Flak programming language...
 
ninja'ed
@mods move the convo into ^^?
 
@Dennis @Doorknob ^
 
I don't think it's that big of a deal. I don't think leaving it here would cause an issue
 
@DJMcMayhem Guaranteed that the brain-flak code will terminate?
 
6:47 PM
@AdmBorkBork If I post it, I'll remove all branching/looping to keep it simpler, so yeah, guaranteed to terminate
 
7:03 PM
In Java, is there a good way to get every unix-style flag from arguments? Parsing args feels like more of a pain that it should be.

9:35 PM
My class got chosen to compete. We have to dance to this song
Seriously. No joke
 
I have that URL pasted on a sticky note next to my desk
I know what you're up too.
 
I fell for it

Gah, I have Steam open in Wine, and the tooltips "bleed through" so they popup randomly while I'm interneting.
 
they played it on my last day of secondary through the fire alarm system

@Pavel why? there's a native Steam
 
@wat Doesn't run all the games I want it to
By not all of them I mean Geometry Dash

@Pavel to*
@Pavel yay someone else likes Geometry Dash
 
BEST THING EVAR
NEW UPDATE WAS AMAZING

9:42 PM
what does it involve
 
@wat Interchanging some program components for newer ones.
 
New level Fingerdash, spider gamemode, new super-high dash ring, x4 speed mode, dash rings.

@Pavel diamonds?
 
@wat To be fair, it does seem like a good song to choreograph to, so... have fun :)
 
No microtransactions

@Sp3000 k thanks, I'm not dancing
 
Diamonds drop occasionally
Each of the new currencies (orbs, diamonds, keys, and gems) drop randomly when you make progress on a level, or in daily rewards.
Except orbs which you get a fixed amount per level when you get to a certain percent.

@DestructibleWatermelon I did
Just now
They are just the judges and they know all the songs. All the other classes (including ours) only know their own song and no two classes have the same song
 
@mınxomaτ I hear ya.
 
@wat ok. will they announce what song you are doing?
make sure they don't, or that they announce it misleadingly
 
@wat that would be the most amazing rickroll if the first and second were rickrolls
