@Zacharý Peeking at the sun

Zacharý

I know that part, but what are "pot shots"?

Jordan

@Zacharý Hahah it's like something thats unfair to another person. So like in boxing for example a potshot would maybe be hitting the opponent right after touching gloves at the beginning of the match

Zacharý

Okay ...

And slowing everything else on my computer down as well

lol, Washington Post has a livestream up on a herd of fainting goats, to see if they faint during the eclipse

Socratic Phoenix

@AdmBorkBork are they fainting?

AdmBorkBork

one minute to totality

Socratic Phoenix

Arrays which can contain themselves at any level are incredibly annoying to work with......

Step Hen

@SocraticPhoenix Just convert them to JSON, it'll make everything easier

AdmBorkBork

18:26

doesn't look like they fainted :(

Socratic Phoenix

@StepHen But I'm working in Java -_-

AdmBorkBork

they are kinda freaking out a bit, though, looking uncomfortable

Step Hen

@SocraticPhoenix (the point was when you convert them to JSON it would infinite loop)

Socratic Phoenix

@StepHen oh... lol

Well that was cool. The path of totality for the eclipse in 7 years will go right over me, so I'm more excited about that one :P

Assuming you don't move before then

@DJMcMayhem I'll fly back :P

Zacharý

18:42

Totality is over here.

So ... for those that have experienced it ... how was the show?

Step Hen

@Zacharý just passed peak... we had 75% but it didn't even feel any darker than usual

the sun looked cool though, through the glasses it looked like a crescent moon

Zacharý

100% ... the halo around the sun looked pretty cool. But that wasn't really something to get out of school for.

Anyone here has the latest Chrome or FF and a webcam?

Partial eclipse just passed through my area

The most visible indications were the crescent-shaped anti-shadows(?) and the sky becoming a less brilliant blue

DJMcMayhem

@mınxomaτ I have chrome 60 and I think I have a webcam

An android phone with Chrome should work, too. Anyway, try to try this: turbo.github.io/wasup/demo

DJMcMayhem

@mınxomaτ I see what looks like a camera on my laptop, but I have never used it or verified that it is indeed a camera, and I have the correct drivers

Step Hen

@DJMcMayhem It's the NSA-approved random colored circle, you can safely ignore it

DJMcMayhem

@mınxomaτ What am I checking? It seems to work, whatever it is

mınxomaτ

19:03

@DJMcMayhem I shall explain later. The demo is just for verification. Glad that it works.

DJMcMayhem

@mınxomaτ BTW, I opened it in Opera instead of chrome. It seemed fine.

mınxomaτ

@DJMcMayhem WebAssembly seems to be widely supported. BTW the source code for the filter is turbo.github.io/wasup/demo/c/filter.c, it's compiled just in time.

@StepHen Could I bother you to guide me?

Well, I don't know the SQL...

I'm saying that because Dennis is PPCG's closest equivalent of Jon Skeet (the SO Chuck Norris)

@Dennis If you really feel the need to delete a one-year old post that adds to the topic, I feel sorry for you. But ok, I understand that you don't want any contributions. Can certainly do that.

Dennis

@Sec It's not about "adding to the topic". I linked you to our policy that all answers to a challenge question must constitute valid solutions to that challenge. Your answer solved a related but ultimately very different task, thus clearly violating that policy.

This question has arisen after reading this answer to a question prohibiting a built-in which solves the problem. The poster argues that the built-in is not defined as "repeat a single integer a number of times equal to that integer" so it doesn't count as a built-in. However, it was brought up i...

maybe one of them is lesser than itself..?

Mr. Xcoder

@WheatWizard you may reveal the byte count of the code to be changed though

If you want

@Zacharý -1 byte if you make the type string empty

-2 if you replace True with 1>0

totallyhuman

@Zacharý that's just a golfier version of my answer though :P

Wheat Wizard

22:17

But that was my solution

Mr. Xcoder

@WheatWizard Umm, I thought 4-3 equals 1

Wheat Wizard

The second CMC does not involve abusing type

@Mr.Xcoder I meant 2 cumulative bytes.

Mr. Xcoder

Ok 👌🏽

Although 2**53-1 is the largest non-decimal with perfect precision.
