It's a variable, in this particular case it's the current index (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
ELegant...
Quetion: where are routes specified in a rails app?
Which language used fnu or v for loops? Was it Pyth?
I think so, but I'm not certain
Nope, it's not
20:02
It's not Jelly or CJam
Maybe 05AB1E
Definetly not @BusinessCat
@Mr.Xcoder v is a for each loop in 05AB1E
@Riley not what I was after, sorry
It actually is Pyth
Give me sth super simple to solve in Pyth, I really wanna learn it
20:09
@Mr.Xcoder VTR?
V-ote T-o R-eopen
@Adám ^
this goat is cooler than you :P
Please, no
btw :( did a mod nuke the goat rickroll?
20:11
This goat is "downer" than you
to be fair only 1/3ish of that goat is actually "down"
1/3ish and downer hurt English a lot... That goat was really cooler than we are :((
@Downgoat What goat rickroll?
If anyone knows Pyth, can this be golfed? VrZQN for printing the numbers up to the input.
@Mr.Xcoder I think U does that (UQ specifically)
20:14
@Downgoat Now I really hate built-ins!
Sorry, Mathematica!
@Adnan Awesome. Thanks!
ಠ_ಠ_ಠ
Mathematica is excellent

Actually just U alone produces [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... , n]
I didn't now Pyth handles those cases
@ATaco Chat Commands : Allow mixing arbitrary o and _ for generating ಠ_ಠ faces.
what if i just want to post "o_o"
20:17
@betseg Then you just post o_o
o_O are you talking about o_o faces?
but it will post "ಠ_ಠ" by Phoenix' suggestion
Jun 3 at 6:08, by Phoenix
You can make the pr
:P
@betseg It needs a / for commands
@Downgoat IDK enough JS
Also : Allow escaping the /
CMC: Make a language with more built-ins than Mathematica
20:18
@Phoenix string.replace(/o(_+)o/, "$1ಠ")
@Mr.Xcoder this is not very mini :P
@Downgoat Needs arbitrary o also.
example?
@Downgoat This was actually a Chat - MACRO - Challenge
@Downgoat o_o_o -> ಠ_ಠ_ಠ
@betseg Only if you put a slash before it
20:20
@Phoenix solution: string.replace(/[oಠ](_+)o/, "ಠ$1ಠ")
user165474
@Mr.Xcoder Mathematica, except there's a built-in which will find the builtin with the given name (unless that already exists)
user165474
It's not too hard.
user165474
Just take Mathematica and add one built-in.
user165474
Done :P
HAHA :D
20:21
Good luck copy-pasting the built-in list @HyperNeutrino
user165474
@Mr.Xcoder Thanks, I'll need the luck.
Wait so is the language spec for Mathematica free?
@Mr.Xcoder Code Mega Challenge
@MDXF yes
@programmer5000 That joke was old before I even joined TNB

20:22
@programmer5000 true
language is also free but not open source
user165474
Wait what?
@Downgoat Wait I thought Mathematica was not free
user165474
No it isn't...
No Mathematica is not free
20:22
@MDXF the online version is free
Free as in what?
Free as in beer, at least
Also, Mathics.
user165474
Are you sure you're not talking about Mathics?
@programmer5000 as in you don't need to pay money?
What about the list of built0ins
20:23
But since the spec is free it would be theoretically possible to write a free, open-source Mathematica interpreter/compiler

Q: Swep tha vowels!

Comrade SparklePonyNote: the title was misspelled intentionally. Given a string s, swap the first vowel runs of every 2 words. For this challenge, y is considered a vowel.

Wolfram Language Lab is free online
user165474
;_; I've run out of TNB stars noooo
@HyperNeutrino mathics is subset of mathematca feature
@HyperNeutrino that is not good thing s/:o/;_; :P
@Phoenix Free or free of charge?
20:25
2 mins ago, by Phoenix
Free as in beer, at least
@HyperNeutrino How long until you get more?
user165474
@Downgoat That doesn't imply that Mathematica is free though
user165474
@MDXF 3.5 hours or so
I am dominating the starboard today :O I have like ten starred messages
user165474
Yeah, exactly, stop starbaiting >.< :P
20:26
@HyperNeutrino ok now confuse
@HyperNeutrino Hey I'm not starbaiting, half of the time
the iOS joke was starbait :P but other than that I was just trying to be funny/serious depending on the message
@Mr.Xcoder APL, 39 bytes: ⍎¨↓⎕A[⍉26⊥⍣¯1⊢l],'←',⍕⍪l←⍳1E4
@MDXF your message before this one was the most starbaity a starbait message could get :P
user165474
"We have friends?" ~ gets almost 10 stars ~
@HyperNeutrino The most starred message of all time was "stop abusing stars"
of course, the juic avocad meme should've been top
20:28
oh no
user165474
@MDXF no
@HyperNeutrino I don't see why not :P i try for thirtee minut and no stars
there are three types of old: 1) CD-era old 2) french teacher old 3) avocado meme old. All three progressively older
@Downgoat 4) chat-mega-challenge old
user165474
@Downgoat lol "french teacher old" that is true for my french teacher; she taught some of the parents of my classmates :o
20:32
:O SE search has OBOE
@Downgoat gasp StackExchange has an oboe? I've always wanted to learn that
@MDXF no, you really don't, 0/10 do not reccomend :P
Oo do you play?
I'm pretty good at avoiding OBOEs
Oboe = musical instrument
just FYI if you didn't get the joke
20:38
@MDXF Oboe is really hard would not recommend
Violin is probably harder
@MDXF ik :P
@MDXF IDK about Strings but oboe is one of the hardest wind instruments
user165474
Hm, I know the violin is the hardest string instrument and I've heard it called the hardest instrument in general but I haven't tried wind instruments
@HyperNeutrino Yes. When writing a language, make sure it is stringly typed
user165474
20:40
>.<
Do not use var, 0/10 would not recommend. Use str 10/10 works every time
user165474
weak typing is interesting
@MDXF SNOBOL?
@Phoenix Absolutely
@HyperNeutrino But easier
Weak typing < Strong typing
20:42
@MDXF opls you can barely even reach the top of a double bass :P
@Downgoat Doesn't make it harder per se
Weak typing > Strong typing
@Phoenix No. String typing, if it does not have str it does not qualify as strongly typed
Math: $Weak typing > Strong typing$
20:43
@programmer5000 are we talking about ref counting, language typing, or like finger-typing-on-keyboard typing
@programmer5000 MathJax is not a thing
@HyperNeutrino O_O
...unless you have the userscript
@Downgoat language
Wait there's a MathJax userscript?
is he playing that with a squeegee
20:44
It's a tacoscript
@MDXF Comes with atacos scripts ninja'd
What did I tell you about installing all of them
... to do it :P
@MDXF it's borked last i checked
Dangit @ATaco
Looks like @Noone is needed :P
user165474
20:46
Wait we're talking about the AutoChatJax Tacoscript?
user165474
@Downgoat It's fine it just occasionally get's triggered on accident when there's two dollar signs in something.
user165474
$not necessarily$
Except the french accented chars, which mëssès úp ÉVÊRÝTHÏNG!
user165474
20:46
Especially links
@programmer5000 What about it
user165474
Oh wait were you talking about the one to parse MathJax in chats on the client or the one that replaces things with images?
@HyperNeutrino The former
user165474
Oh okay. Never mind then.
user165474
20:49
Also, I type french chars using the compose key :3
What compose key?
user165474
It's a setting on Linux.

Can I get a GH link if you have one?
Nope, a couple ten-thousand (oops lol)
user165474

No because I don't want anyone to see this atrocity
user165474

user165474

But it's not really the entire chassis, that wouldn't work, just walls and such
@DJMcMayhem Ruby: require 'i18n';->a{I18n.transliterate a}
@MDXF Right, I can see how
Although I've printed (in place) functional hinges and ballbearings before
The most useful thing I ever printed was a fidget spinner :P I printed like eight hundred and made over a thousand bucks online
But yeah, there's the whole supports thing
@MDXF What how do you buy bearings that cheap
21:32
@Mendeleev Bulk
Although, again, 3D printed ball bearings... hmmm...
You just gave me an idea
3d printing ball bearings is not the best idea, but it's cheap and dirty and it gets the job done (some of the time)
Those spin for like three seconds, but I don't want to think about fidget spinners, I don't miss having pure autism around me at all hours of the day (it's a joke, but I don't miss it)
Are they supposed to spin longer?
21:34
Yes? Metal ones can spin for probably a minute and a half
The shorter the spin, the less autism you have :)
HA that's one way to look at it
Yeah my sister has one that spins for like 230 seconds (I timed it)
Wow that's kind of impressive

Q: String manipulation simplification in Go

kissgyorgyI'm pretty sure this can be written as a couple of lines, but I'm unable to come up with a better solution than this: package main import ( "fmt" "math/big" ) func colonedSerial(i *big.Int) string { hex := fmt.Sprintf("%x", i) if len(hex)%2 == 1 { hex = "0" + hex } ...

Then you can take it to space and have an infinite spin
Huh
I bet they've made magnetic-field fidget spinners
That's just a spinner that attracts magnetic material :(
21:55
Yeah.
Disappointing
Well hey, the upside is, you can invent it, patent it, and make millions
And I wouldn't be surprised if you made literally millions
@MDXF Pretty sure there's one
Easily doable with a superconducting spinner with a hole in the middle, wherethrough there runs a stick (thinner than the hole, with a magnet on each end.
