@quartata so, I'm relooking over some guides. is ld (DE), A basically saying "store the value of A at the register position represented by DE's value"?
@ConorO'Brien Store A at the address in DE
alright thanks now most of assembly makes sense lol
It's amazing what Americans can do to avoid using the metric system :-P — Luis Mendo 40 mins ago
@LuisMendo You're absolutely right. :D

@Pavel mineral that contains ore?
Oh, right.
00:27
I dide
died
NOOOOOOO :(

@ChristopherPeart edit button exists
too sad to use it
You don't know the meaning of heartache until you have a great hyperrogue run and you die
WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO???!!
@JanDvorak Why did you have to mention that game
Now i am addicted :P
00:49
AAAAAA WHAT'S HAPPENED TO SO
@LegionMammal978 oh my

@HelkaHomba Click the SE icon on the far right-hand side
found it
wat
wat
00:54
god fucking dammit
just spent like 1 hour building a fortress, then DF crashed
@wat RIP
I have been using the new bar for a long time
wat
wat
@ChristopherPeart F
01:04
oh no noes pls
Was about to have a 1 hour meeting
got canceled yasss
So i gotta hour
is DF really that good
It looked hard
Yes.
@ChristopherPeart it is
wat
wat
@ChristopherPeart yes
Just looks like toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much work
01:06
but the great thing is that losing is fun
wat
wat
@ChristopherPeart you will have lots of !!FUN!!
Alternatively, if you don't want to do it, SS13 offers a lite™ variation of the complexity.
You lose in the best ways. Watch out for those carp!
its a lot more fun to play a game where the civilisation is constantly on the edge of dying because dwarfs keep having tantrums
01:07
For an example of a very Fun game of Dwarf Fortress, you should read the archives of Boatmurdered
Space station 13!
those are two very different games
Setting, yes.
for one thing you control one character
Adventure mode.
01:08
secondly, there are people intentionally trying to murder people
@ATaco That looks like System Shock, but with people in it.
Clearly, you haven't played Dwarf Fortress Adventure mode.
I played it once
it was kind of boring
I didn't have much Fun
Also, Everyone should play SS13.
Is it free?
01:08
Yep.
Will do, rn
I tried playing it but BYOND didn't work ;_;
Bay, the Makers of Dwarf Fortress, also run a codebase.
trials and tribulations of not owning windows
My favorite Space themed game is FTL I think
01:09
at least I don't have only windows though
@MistahFiggins Yes.
wat
wat
I had my exhibition today
@wat Whazzat?
wat
wat
Basically the same importance as finals would be in a traditional school
wat
wat
01:11
You stand in front of an audience and present your work over the past learning cycle
why is the quick start so long
I thought it was quick
They lied
wat
wat
then they basically grade you, and then you get competencies
@ChristopherPeart It is.
wat
wat
@ChristopherPeart Not really
Hey bois
01:11
It is compared to the non-quick start
G'day Mathew.
G'day you too
wat
wat
Wait @ChristopherPeart does the page title say DF2014:Quickstart guide or osmething else
wat
wat
ok, good
01:15
Wot are you talking bois
wat
wat
@MatthewRoh Dwarf fortress
Oh
Something I absolutely dont know about
wat
wat
play it. it's fun
Is this a good guide for beginners?
I think I used it in the beginning
wat
wat
no
outdated
01:17
I haven't played for a while though
Yeah
Does it have a mobile version
Or is it a program source which has to be built or something
Is there a source code
So I could build and run it on my tablet
(Doesnt make sense, right?)
wat
wat
@MatthewRoh It is closed source
01:21
Oh
@ChristopherPeart dwarf fortress is like the most complex game of its kind
its relatively quick
I wasnt trying to distribute it, I mean I just wanted to build and play it on my tablet or something
Whenever I try to extract a .zip on Ubuntu, it dumps every file into my working directory without preserving the .zip's directory structure.
How to fix?
@MatthewRoh It's on the app store, possible android too
Dont use ubuntu
01:24
That is maybe the least helpful thing you could have said.
wat
wat
@Pavel use terminal, make a directory, unzip into it
Only way?
I mean, theres an exact copy of ubuntu inside windows then why'd you use ubuntu instead of windows

Q: Is my Graph Graceful?

Wheat WizardGiven a Simple Graph label each node with a distinct integer greater than or equal to zero. Each edge is then labeled with the absolute difference between the nodes it connects. If you can label a graph so that every number 1-n (where n is the number of nodes) labels exactly one edge that graph...

wat
wat
01:27
@Pavel It's probably a setting
@MatthewRoh Lol no.
Why would you ever use windows?
@wat because it has a strangle-hold on the computer OS market and so some computers actually don't allow you to uninstall windows
wat
wat
@DestructibleWatermelon how?
@LegionMammal978 Hmm... What browser is that?
I think it was mentioned in chat earlier
wat
wat
@MistahFiggins firefox
01:29
Ah.
I would guess Vivaldi
I downloaded DF linux, thinking that it would work since android is linux-based and has a terminal
wat
wat
@MatthewRoh umlolno
Different architectures
If you want to run DOS get DOSbox or Bochs
01:45
DOSbox
And run DOSshell with it
wat
wat
or win95
Nah man
wat
wat
Why not
DOSbox + DOSshell is better
I'm starting a new DF game
01:52
Does there exists a reverse wine that lets you run Linux programs on Windows?
Most people who play SS13 on Linux use a WIndows XP Virtual Box, you can do similar for other games.
@Pavel the great thing about linux is that it is free to dual boot or run in a vm
But then I have to restart my computer every time ;-;
wat
wat
@Pavel wsl
01:56
@wat stands for?
Linux subsystem on Windows
wat
wat
@DestructibleWatermelon Windows Subsystem for Linux
@Pavel that would be lsw
It's confusing, 'cause clearly the Linux is the subsystem and the Windows is the main system.
(Windows) (Subsystem for linux)
parsed
It's a linux kernel you can run on Windows, it's neat.
wat
wat
01:57
@Pavel no.
Only does terminal applications though.
(DOS (Unix (Linux) (Mac)) (Windows))
wat
wat
it's a wine-like shim.
@DestructibleWatermelon Yeah, no. It's a Windows Subsystem (there are others) for Linux compatibility.
>.<
@mınxomaτ Ok, makes sense now.
wat
wat
01:58
@Pavel no, you can run VcXsrv or Xming and have graphical apps. I prefer VcXsrv because it is free
Wait, really? ^-^
wat
wat
Those are X servers for Windows
yep look up tutorials
02:13
How do I make SE chatbots
I just used Tampermonkey, personally.
But don't do it that way.
@MatthewRoh don't
@MatthewRoh People will like you significantly less if you do.
I wrote TacoBot
And then proceeded to not use it anywhere, because people wouldn't apreciate it.
wat
wat
02:16
@Pavel what about beep boop maggot
Is there a way to figure out which questions on the site have the fewest views?
I mean, I would use this account as a bot too
I already made the part of sending messages and reading last message (a bit flawed tho)
@WheatWizard Ask a question. Now thats the question with the fewest views
wat
wat
@WheatWizard search by is:question, sort by views, go to last page
Alternatively, the API
@wat You can't sort by views
wat
wat
02:21
nm then
Then the API would work
yeah I'm going to do that, Its just a bit inconvenient
wat
wat
people
can you please close this challenge for no objective winning criterion or unclear

Q: Calculate the last digits of Graham's Number

Thomas OGraham's number ends in a 7. It is a massive number, in theory requiring more information to store than the size of the universe itself. However it is possible to calculate the last few digits of Graham's number. The last few digits are: 02425950695064738395657479136519351798334535362521 430035...

@WheatWizard Did ya register an application on stackapps
@MatthewRoh What?
02:23
@wat Golfed: is:q
@wat Uhh, seems fine
@wat It has an objective winning criterion
wat
wat
@Pavel "200 digits or more"
@WheatWizard You have to register an app to stackapps to get a token
So? That's fine.
wat
wat
02:24
also all the answers are invalid because the program must not contain digits apparently
If your program displays 200, that's fine. If it's golfier to display 256, that's also fine.
@MatthewRoh Oh I'm not actually going to use the API, I'm just going to use the data explorer
@wat No, it can't contain series of digits as included in the post.
wat
wat
@Pavel "may not contain these numbers (or similar ones)"
@wat No, the program shall not contain the grahams number instead of the digits. I think you misunderstood stuff
02:26
@wat That doesn't mean don't use digits >_>
It very obviously just means "Don't hardcode Graham's number"
I think Mathematica can solve this on a technical level.
I think Mathematica has a builtin, lemme check.
Nope, huh
The thing is, grahams number is calculated by knuth's up arrow notation, and literally nothing has knuth's up arrow notation as a builtin
If you feed Mathematica ($3\uparrow3\uparrow3\uparrow3$), will it give an ERROR: Memory Exeeded Observable Universe?
02:29
@ATaco I think ^ isnt knuth's up arrow notation
But a power function instead
@ATaco Syntax::tsntxi: "3^^^3" is incomplete; more input is needed.

[insert quip about real managers]
Does LibreOffice support equations/$\LaTeX$?
@Pavel Excel functions?
02:35
@MatthewRoh No... Equation formatting.
All things should support $\LaTeX$, even SMS.
Eh, how?

wtf amazon changed font D:
I don't remember DF being this poorly programmed...
> Because one bar of metal produces 25 bolts and a single bolt can be melted to 0.1 bars of metal, you can create unlimited adamantine wafers in your fortress using a clever setup with marksdwarves to separate the stacks of adamantine bolts into single bolts
what were the devs thinking!?
this is like the exact opposite of the devteam thinks of everything
wat
wat
@DestructibleWatermelon There is a bug where if you forbid a caravan, it will leave but leave the items behind.
02:43
> In adventurer mode, if you try to pick something up while both your hands are already holding something, it'll go straight in your backpack, even if it would not have fit had you first picked it up and then tried to put it inside. That means you can stuff as much as you want into your backpack.
why would you not see that coming?
wat
wat
@DestructibleWatermelon honestly there are so many things that of course there's a bug or two
but why were they not speedily removed?
I thought this game was realistic, but not really
perpetual motion is super easy in this game
you hook a pump up to a water wheel, and hook the water wheel up to the pump!
why would you even make that possible?
10 power to generate 100 power

Why is Amazon Ember being used everywhere?!?!?

this wiki has so many gems
@wat where am I supposed to look
INITILIZE THE VALUE
+++++++

SETUP THE ASCII VALUE OF 0
[->+>+++++++<<]

ADD THE VALUE
<
[->+<]

PRINT IT

For some reason, my Prettifier seems to recognize Brainfuck.
@ATaco prettifier?
03:05
doesn't work on BF?
just makes it look weird
still trying to find a suitable place to explore
Looks fine to me.
so the code gets colored huh
also you made typo
meh
ah it's pretty faint but it's green yeah
03:14
@TuxCopter are you there, can I request french assistance
wat
wat
@Downgoat font
@wat ah
@wat ... he is penguin so he live in antartica where it is day for 1/2 year
03:32
Penguins live in Australia Too.
And As an Australian, I can confirm, A day is a bit shorter than 1/2 year.
@ATaco but only in antartica you find penguin with rotor on head
That's better.
Question: What should I name GitHub client I am developing?
GoatHub. Duh.
errrr, potentially ambiguous with.... :|
03:43
?
nothing
@Downgoat gitgoat
@DestructibleWatermelon already done
goatgit?
gitly goat?
gittish goat?
what is the adjective form of git?
ok who starred that message I made
wat
wat
@DestructibleWatermelon me i think

#define   curpos(MYCOL,MYROW)   ld hl,MYCOL*256+MYROW
#defcont                      \ ld (curRow), hl
@quartata am I doing something wrong here? I get error SE119: Unknown syntax
What assembler
TASM
*SPASM
In TASM at least defcont does not need a #
hm. ik this works:
#define    clear    bcall(_ClrLCDFull)
#defcont          \ bcall(_homeup)
@ATaco the colors on your prettifier are pretty dull :/
04:03
Blame google.
shrug
My Prettifier just applies Google's Prettifier to Stackexchange Chats, I can change the colours, but that would require effort.
ah
wat
wat
prettyfier still does not work
@ATaco do you like lemons?
Of course.
04:09
@quartata for some reason removing the defcont makes it not complain
#define    curpos(MYCOL,MYROW)   ld hl,MYCOL*256+MYROW \ ld (PenCol), hl

Q: Shortest program to throw NullPointerException in Java

playing Dwarf fortress. not having much Fun yet
Would anyone be interested in a room where dwarf fortress stuff is posted?
maybe we could have a successive game like boat murdered?
06:54
anybody?
hello @KritixiLithos
Hi I've got tons of work to do
ok.
Two of my dwarfs have a beef for some reason
wait the fisherdwarf is on break?
I didn't even think he did anything...
apart from hauling I guess
> This is undeniably an exploit and possibly a bug.
from the DF wiki describing how you can get perpetual motion
how is it undeniably an exploit but only possibly a bug?
07:14
Because if you're smart enough to find an exploit in Dwarf Fortress, you deserve whatever benefits you get from it?
07:34
I have an idea (and a name too!) for a new esolang but I'm too lazy ;_;
What is it? I'm never too lazy to esolang
I can understand the laziness
Lol
I thought something could only be an exploit if it was a bug
also I would imagine it would be as much of an exploit as nethack credit cloning
which is not really
because if you're going to make two flow related items, one which outputs flow for 10 power and one that uses flow for 100 power, the consequences are obvious
CMC: Implement bubble-sort with only one run (also send me TIO link when you're finished)
If the program you send to me errors, you have failed the challenge

@Qwerp-Derp Try it online!

Q: Multiply without multiply, no loops allowed

Shaun BebbersMake a function, method, program or routine that will accept two interger parameters (say x and y) and the total of the two values multiplied. Except straight multiplication is not allowed so you must not simply do something like: int multiply (int x, int y) { return x*y; } Also you must n...

08:32
@DJMcMayhem That CMC was too easy...
Another CMC: Implement merge-sort, with only one run allowed. Again, send me the TIO link when finished.
@Qwerp-Derp do syntax errors count as run? ;_;
wat
wat
define run
I forgot a }
@betseg ???
@wat So you're only allowed to test the code once
I got a syntax error after I hit the run button
wat
wat
08:36
@Qwerp-Derp ...how would you know
@betseg Unfortunately that doesn't count :( I'm being hard-lined
@wat Self-control
I don't really care if you follow the rules, that's why I posted this as a CMC
If I was to make this a real challenge I would require you to actually make a video of you actually making the code
@Qwerp-Derp then I could just write it on a paper or something
And look at the paper while typing
wat
wat
@betseg Or dual monitors
wat
wat
I actually have 3 monitors
08:55
is anybody interested in a Dwarf fortress room?
@betseg Somewhat related: I may never implement it, but I've been thinking about an esolang where all tokens must be English dictionary words. Numbers are written like three hundred twenty five, etc.
