Phoenix

10:20 PM

o no

evil sheep detected

@Downgoat is @EvilSheep your sock?

Downgoat

@Phoenix no it is my nemesis

Phoenix

Oh it says bot

What does it do

Downgoat

@Phoenix it is suppose to talk, does a decent job (obviously superior to marky)

Phoenix

Doesn't seem to be doing anything

Evil Sheep

@Phoenix excuse me

Phoenix

10:26 PM

Something tells me that's not its scripting.

Luis Mendo

@BetaDecay Watching this video. Reminded me of you

Beta Decay

I'm honoured :D

That's the documentary I first heard the quote from

Luis Mendo

I had already watched a lot of pieces, specially his interviews and some of his classes. But I'm watching the documentary in one go now :-)

Geobits

@Downgoat Pfft

Marky eats both goat and sheep for breakfast.

Phoenix

10:41 PM

I assume that's some sort of greeting, but I'm having trouble parsing it :P

Like, where did your other arm go?

Satan's Son

Quick poll: new programming language, custom code page, * x or ×?

Dennis

Nah, it's reduce by OR.

DJMcMayhem

It was tragically eaten by a goat

Beta Decay

It decayed, duh

Well that's what happened to mine anyway

Phoenix

@Dennis I didn't understand that reference.

Beta Decay

@Satan'sSon I like to program on mobile devices, so keeping it to mainly printable ASCII would be preferable IMO

Phoenix

oic

Destructible Lemon

@Satan'sSon depends on the lang

Phoenix

It seems to be finding the maximum

Luis Mendo

^^^^

Satan's Son

10:47 PM

@DestructibleLemon how?

Dennis

@BetaDecay What device are you on? Google keyboard has ×.

Satan's Son

@Dennis google?!?! iPhone all the way!

Beta Decay

@Dennis Oh yeah, forgot about that...

Dennis

Not in a million years, thank you.

Phoenix

@Satan'sSon Satan's Son indeed ಠ_ಠ

Beta Decay

10:49 PM

I'm on my iPod atm and the keyboard is abysmal :/

Android ftw

Phoenix

Satan's Son

I thought there was some shred of decency here but that is too far!

Phoenix

The majority of TNBers run Linux, so not too surprising.

Satan's Son

TNBers?

betseg

@Satan'sSon iOS has Gboard too

Phoenix

10:50 PM

I myself have a Windows Phone (not by choice) tho.

betseg

@Satan'sSon (The Nineteenth Byte)ers

Satan's Son

Thx!

Ubuntu Touch

Ubuntu Touch (also known as Ubuntu Phone) is a mobile version of the Ubuntu operating system that was developed by Canonical Ltd. and the Ubuntu community. It was designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. The project was started in 2011, but on 5 April 2017 Mark Shuttleworth announced that the project would terminate due to lack of market interest. The project was then picked up by the UBports. == History == Mark Shuttleworth announced on 31 October 2011 that by Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu will support smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and other sm...

Satan's Son

Exactly! iPhone ftw!

Beta Decay

@Phoenix Not by choice? Were you forced by Bill Gates to use his OS?

Phoenix

10:51 PM

It was a gift

Beta Decay

Ohh

Phoenix

@BetaDecay Killed off about a month ago.

Satan's Son

@BetaDecay that's his whole business plot :D

Phoenix

Same with Unity

10:52 PM

I really like the UI on WP, if/when I get an android I'm installing a WP skin onto it.

App support and overall stability is garbage.

Then again, I also like Unity, so maybe I'm just weird like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There, I've installed Gboard on my iPod. All is good again

Luis Mendo

iOS has pretty good voice recognition

ceilingcat

I'd like to hear a spoken transcript of source code from Jelly, Pyth or other golfing language

@Geobits I already have my lawyer on the phone

Q: Old C Code Transmogrifier*

*What is a transmogrifier? In the C programming language, there are formations called digraphs and trigraphs that are two and three characters sequences that evaluate to less common characters. For example, you can use ??- if your keyboard doesn't have ~. Given text, replace all instances of th...

Geobits

@Downgoat Oh, I haven't seen him in a while. Tell him I'll be over for poker on Tuesday.

Phoenix

@ceilingcat But first, how to pronounce {?

Geobits

Open curly brace

Or just open brace

Helka Homba

left curly bracket

Geobits

11:13 PM

[ is bracket :P

Helka Homba

left curly bracket

Geobits

I use brace and bracket to avoid curly

Helka Homba

CMC: Record yourself pronouncing &^%&^V$%(*&^ V$&^$*&^)(*^!T)~~)(*&KJH(*%) and upload it.

I finally found a use for Edge and IE: watching additional 10-minute previews of CNN

Phoenix

Have you tried incognito?

Helka Homba

Yeah, doesn't work

betseg

@Phoenix google translate(*%26KJH(*%25))

Phoenix

The Zilch docomentation used to only work in IE for some reason.

It's been fixed now

@betseg tinyurl maybe?

betseg

It is too late to edit this message

Phoenix

11:19 PM

My browser is refusing to load that.

Huh

Helka Homba

Apparently "ッ" means "Household appliances"

Phoenix

Good to know

Helka Homba

and ッッ means "forgetting"...

Phoenix

Thanks Japan

betseg

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Helka Homba

11:23 PM

"ッッッ" is "down", "ッッッッ" is "a bit"

betseg

@HelkaHomba what is the correct answer for Another Adventure #44's mini challenge?

Helka Homba

@betseg You got it right

Phoenix

@HelkaHomba I think Google translate might be borking

betseg

@HelkaHomba ah k

@Phoenix no, just people submitting troll translations

Phoenix

> it's a little tsu (tsu being the sound if it is not little - observe ツ compared to ッ), essentially a glotteral stop (or if you want to get really technical, it is a geminate consonant)
It has no meaning by itself.
It is used to indicate a slight pause in between two sounds in Japanese. For instance, if you say the word 'rock' (or how I say it anyway) you will find a pause between 'ro' and 'ck' (if you say it without the pause, it will sound more like 'rawk'). You probably wont hear it though, as in English we don't really need to use it to make a distinction between words that sound simil…
