The Nineteenth Byte

Wheat Wizard

21:00

I'd like to try.

MD XF

That's why I'm offering a bounty; it will be very hard before I add string literals or even an easy way to push characters to the stack

user165474

I'm bad at quines :P I'm only semi-decent at answering obscure and very long old questions :P

MD XF

I'm about halfway to being the second PPCG user to get the silver quine badge

Darn, not quite halfway

user165474

Nice

MD XF

Well I have 60 quine answers but only 189 votes

user165474

21:02

Out of 400 required? IIRC

MD XF

Yep

user165474

Anyone interested in going after this +100 bounty?

MD XF

Oh yes I will beat that

Wheat Wizard

@MDXF How do the chars end up in the triagle? it would be more helpful if you used 1-6 in the readme rather than dots

MD XF

Am I allowed to base mine on his answer? :P

@WheatWizard Oh yeah that would be a good idea. One sec

Wheat Wizard

21:04

@MDXF If you like quines its worth pointing out that I'm offering 1000 rep on a quine.

user165474

As long as you don't port it into another language, or just golf that one. You can use a similar strategy (or actually you can use the same algorithm).

MD XF

@WheatWizard Clarified

@WheatWizard Oh?

Wheat Wizard

Thanks

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino Oh darn I can't just golf his, nvm then

I don't have the time to write an entire new program

user165474

There's a 226 byte answer below the C one btw...

Oh it automatically merges the times, too. That's really fancy

that is true right

@HyperNeutrino A day is more than enough. I only objected to deleting it within minutes.

Beta Decay

What does it mean if someone is suspended for voting irregularities?

Helka Homba

@Downgoat yeah

Downgoat

:| online math class is doing stupid then

Helka Homba

why?

MD XF

@BetaDecay They serial voted or sockpuppetted

Q: Arranging arbitrary shapes to fill a rectangular space

A while ago, I posted a challenge asking to determine whether or not it's possible to arrange arbitrary rectangles to fill a rectangular space, here. That got answers, so clearly it was too easy. (Just kidding, it was fairly challenging, congrats to the answerers :D) Challenge Given a bunch of ...

code-golf

Downgoat

@HelkaHomba I did the latter x <= -7 and it said need to do x < 2 and x <= -7

even though it allow doing this exact same thing in other problems

Helka Homba

21:47

tell the teacher/admins

you're sure it's not set union?

though then it would be x < 2

Mendeleev

Just freed up about 4GB on my web server

Turns out I had Unity, GHC isntalled

Phoenix

Has anyone who uses KDE had a problem where sometimes when you wake up your computer from sleep it can only render the cursor and nothing else?

Mendeleev

also ZNC logs and system logs were over 2GB in all

MD XF

@Mendeleev Unity >.<

Mendeleev

@Phoenix No one has had that problem because no one uses KDE

@MDXF I accidentally installed ubuntu-desktop because apparently it was a prerequisite of some package

Phoenix

21:52

@Mendeleev A ton of people use KDE

Mendeleev

ehh

Also, what does it show when I'm typing?

MD XF

@Mendeleev Nothing

Mendeleev

What do you mean?

Phoenix

Try typing again?

Mendeleev

Trying again: does it show anything now?

MD XF

21:54

Oh now it says "Mendeleev is typing"

Mendeleev

huh what

user165474

@Dennis Oh okay. Thanks.

user165474

Please use Sandbox for testing the userscript.

Mendeleev

21:56

@MDXF @Phoenix What does it show now?

MD XF

@Mendeleev It shows you to go to the chat room Hyper just linked

Mendeleev

No one is there

user165474

Did you see the message I literally just sent?

Mendeleev

I just waw it

user165474

You can ask for people to go there.

Mendeleev

21:57

saw*

I was editing the userscript and literally just saw it

user165474

You dropped into the room though...

Mendeleev

Did I?

Helka Homba

If you guys could design your ideal computer desk, what would it be like? Say you have a $10k budget.

user165474

I was in the room and then I saw you enter it, then a bit later I left it, came here, and then you posted that.

Mendeleev

Huh

MD XF

21:57

@HelkaHomba I'd spend that all on a decent computer

'cause chromebook = trash

user165474

Anyway I got to go now. Bye. o/

Helka Homba

@MDXF in this hypothetical world you already have a $50k computer

MD XF

@HelkaHomba If only...

Phoenix

@HelkaHomba Even if you got 2 titan XPs and and an Intel i9 you'll still won't get to 50k without some exotic shit like liquid nitrogen cooling and whatnot.

MD XF

@Phoenix What, you mean you don't use liquid nitrogen cooling?

It's the hit new thing of 2017, everybody's doing it

Helka Homba

22:00

@Phoenix maybe with a couple crazy monitors

Mendeleev

@HelkaHomba It would probably have a glass top (thick so it doesn't break), the computer would be built in to a cabinet on the left (completely integrated into the desk), the monitor mounts would be built in (3x 32in 1440p monitors), there would be a cable management channel at the back, there would be a laser etched spot that would act as a mouse pad, customized things for my setup (e.g. mounts for speakers, etc.)

MD XF

@Mendeleev Cable management channel yes

Mendeleev

@MDXF Like a channel with a cover where you can punch out certain holes for cables to go into

the desk would have an ATX case built in, custom liquid cooling with some Noctua fans, hard drives on anti vibration mounts

Phoenix

As few wires/cables as possible.

Mendeleev

so basically the whole computer will be inside the desk

Phoenix

22:04

@Mendeleev No fans

Mendeleev

the cable management channel will connect to the thing that covers the back I/O panel

Helka Homba

just make the metal desk frame a heat sink :P

Phoenix

We have an entire desk, we can mount a massive passive-cooling aluminium block.

Mendeleev

then there will be a couple of USB ports, power button, headphones, etc. on the front

@HelkaHomba @Phoenix That would look ugly and it would make the desk warm, which I would hate. instead, why not just mount a 360mm rad with some silent Noctua fans?

Phoenix

I suppose

Helka Homba

22:06

I'm not sure I'd like glass

Phoenix

Ooh, most important part, RGB the fuck out of the entire set up.

Mendeleev

no

Helka Homba

bleh

Phoenix

@HelkaHomba How else would you show off your 50k computer

Helka Homba

rgb is distracting except on a keyboard

Mendeleev

22:07

IDEA! Build RGB LEDs into the glass top, have a switch for them

So the entire top of the desk will glow

Phoenix

Can at least haz RGB RAM?

Mendeleev

The computer will be hidden, no use

Phoenix

Y tho

Mendeleev

Clean looks

Hidden computer, all cables managed, nice keyboard and mouse with sleeved cables...

Nathan Merrill

@HelkaHomba 10K for a bed?

Phoenix

22:08

@Mendeleev But you have to show off your 50k computer to your friends

Mendeleev

@Phoenix I would show off my 40K desk with the 10K computer from which I siphoned the budget

I guess I'd also want a few drawers on the right (the computer would be the left "foot", the drawers would be rthe right one

Phoenix

Idea: Add cup holder, run liquid-cooling line around it so it chills your drink.

Mendeleev

That would be the opposite

Liquid cooling fluid would be at like 40C

Idea: Run the lines into another room (or outside) and have the fans there

Phoenix

@Mendeleev Have you seen the LTT episodes on Full Room Water Cooling

Mendeleev

yes

ASCII-only

22:10

@Mendeleev You mean this thing

Helka Homba

@Phoenix that was a >.<

Phoenix

Did not work

Mendeleev

Not planning to do that huge scale thing though

@ASCII-only No, but that's really cool

Helka Homba

(side note, what is >.< vs >_< ?)

Mendeleev

@Phoenix I would a) not have a huge reservoir, b) have just one block, c) have just one rad, d) keep it at computer level

Nathan Merrill

22:14

@ASCII-only I can get that price up to 13K

Mendeleev

I'm in Tacoma right now, "helping my dad renovate a fourplex" (leeching off someone's xfinitywifi signal and chatting on TNB)

Downgoat

@Mendeleev Using xfinitywifi does not count towards one's bandwidth so not really "leeching" :P

Mendeleev

Right...

It counts towards the account owner's abndwidth though

and I had my dad put in his Comcast account info

Downgoat

@Mendeleev like your bandwidth? O_o

;_; y u do dis xfinity

totallyhuman

22:25

@totallyhuman It's a tear

Q: Find all the Anagrams!

Despite having 17 questions tagged anagram, we still don't have this question, so here it is. Your Task You must write a program that, when receiving a string, prints out all possible anagrams of it. For the purpose of this question, an anagram is a string that contains the same character as...

code-golf anagrams

Mendeleev

Why is shortening blinds so tedious and annoying ;-;

Phoenix

23:00

I find making them go back down al the way significantly more difficult.

Mendeleev

23:11

No, like removing extra length

TIL there are autofeed screwdrivers

MD XF

-1 url is too long

Mendeleev

@MDXF That better?

MD XF

Much, you saved like 50 bytes

user165474

@MDXF 78 bytes, to be precise :)

user165474

23:30

@xnor Are you sure that 8 answers in 2 days is not enough attention?

user165474

I mean, answer count is pretty unrelated to attention

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino The deleted answers on that are gold

Phoenix

Not really

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

user165474

Oh right I forgot those existed

MD XF

Oh I finally figured out how too change my chat SE parent site

user165474

23:33

Wow I just realized how big of a gap there is between the scores of the top two unanswered questions

MD XF

And the gap between how difficult they are?

user165474

Took you quite a while ;) it's literally right on your profile

MD XF

'cause yeah, the freecell solver is hard, but the tetris thing is... damn

@HyperNeutrino I didn't even know Chat SE profiles were a thing :P

ASCII-only

:D I can see deleted posts now

user165474

@MDXF ಠ_ಠ

MD XF

23:35

@ASCII-only Wow I didn't know I passed you in rep lol

ASCII-only

@MDXF Not actually that hard, it simplifies to tetris circuit golf

user165474

@ASCII-only welcome to the club of people who really hate the sandbox now

user165474

Also I just realized that I posted 6 links in a row earlier

ASCII-only

@HyperNeutrino I don't use the sandbox often

MD XF

@ASCII-only Eh I saw a lot of your answers when I was on LurkerExchange

user165474

23:35

@ASCII-only same

user165474

@MDXF Wasn't it "StalkerExchange"?

MD XF

They're pretty good, you probably should have more rep :P

Phoenix

@MDXF You have a very unusually rapid rep gain

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino LurkerExchange sounds less creepy

@Phoenix Not anymore

I'll be inactive starting next week

user165474

@MDXF That's why I favor StalkerExchange.

user165474

23:36

@MDXF oh no D: has to do with your promotion?

MD XF

Yep

user165474

@Phoenix All because he found a way to throw segfaults ;_;

MD XF

I'm asking Dennis to ban me for 5 days next Monday, and after that I'll probably only be able to check PPCG for an hour or two in the evenings :I

@HyperNeutrino Hey >.<

Yeah, I got a spike from that

user165474

:P

MD XF

but look at my profile; the spike didn't slow down

I stopped getting votes from that but my rep kept going up at the same rate

user165474

23:38

Sheesh you have about the same rep as I had on May 8

MD XF

Whoa so you spiked too?

hOly... yup

user165474

hm?

user165474

No I didn't.

MD XF

Hey your rep slope is as steep as mine... but yours is spread out over three times as many months as mine :P

user165474

That doesn't make sense.

user165474

23:39

I don't even have twice your rep.

user165474

It looks as steep because there's a huge flat area in front because I used to lurk here a lot.

MD XF

No I mean open two tabs, one with my Activity and another with yours

user165474

And also I didn't gain much rep because I used to use Java.

MD XF

click between them and the slope looks very similar

but then I realized that each tick on your rep graph is 3 months from the previous, each tick on mine is 1 month

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

user165474

But you have twice as much of a mean rep gain (monthly) compared to me.

user165474

23:42

I checked using the JS answer on my question here :P

Phoenix

I'm more into posting challenges than answers, I don't really get that much rep.

xnor

@HyperNeutrino Maybe i should have put a message. I think there's room for more optimization and compression could be motivated by a bounty.

The challenge is a lot of work so I think extra rep is a good motivator

especially for a late-posted answer that might otherwise be missed
