I'm just going to assume it means headed in the direction of a flipper.

Erik the Outgolfer

I think it refers to penguin flippers btw

Geobits

Oh, I really would never have guessed that.

Erik the Outgolfer

Flipper (anatomy)

where "bound" means that, well, the flippers are stuck to the rest of the body, you can't just remove them without painful sadistic and gruesome procedures

let alone penguins removing them themselves at will

and I think mego guessed that because... noot

caird coinheringaahing

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) Stop the penguin flipper talk

Neil

so, the duplicate of that main post got me thinking

caird coinheringaahing

19:03

@Neil In what way?

Neil

for which other pair of decimal digits can the product be corrected to 42 by changing the base?

Geobits

@EriktheOutgolfer Probably because he has a basic grasp of English also

Anonymous

@EriktheOutgolfer Actually it's because my ~~hands~~ flippers are bound to the keyboard. I'm a developer - I don't get to leave the computer.

Anonymous

@Geobits This is news to me.

Erik the Outgolfer

@Mego are the keys big enough? :p

Anonymous

19:09

I just bash my flippers on the keyboard and stealthily remove the stuff that doesn't make sense

Mr. Xcoder

Dennis, how dare you outgolf me with two different answers in the same language?

Geobits

@Mego In that case, I offer Basic English tutoring via the messaging app of your choice for $75/hr, with minimum two hour sessions.

Anonymous

@Geobits I prefer IceChat, for obvious raisins

Erik the Outgolfer

@Mr.Xcoder two answers, or he posted one, you outgolfed and then he re-outgolfed you? because the latter has happened to me quite a few times

Geobits

I'll have to install it on my iGloo, but that shouldn't be an issue.

@Geobits It frequently freezes, so there could be some interruptions

Geobits

It's okay, I can just chill in the meantime

Mr. Xcoder

@EriktheOutgolfer Leaky posted. I outgolfed Leaky. Then Dennis posted a normal answer that outgolfs me, and then he posts another answer using exit codes (and he technically outgolfs himself)

Erik the Outgolfer

that just means he posted using two different algos

Geobits

What did you think was going to happen? It's Dennis.

@Geobits I was surprised he stopped at 2, but then I remembered he's not Leaky.

caird coinheringaahing

To Dennis: To completely annihilate everyone else, including yourself, at code golf.
To Leaky: To post 16 or more answers with the exact same algorithm for a fairly easy code golf

Mr. Xcoder

To Mr. Xcoder: Post 8 answers with the exact same algorithm for a fairly easy code golf

Anonymous

To Mego: To forget to look at challenges for a month, post no answers, and then post a huge answer as part of a large team effort.

El'endia Starman

@Mego It's been wayyyyy longer than a month for me. :P

Mr. Xcoder

@Mego And sometimes randomly post smth in Actually

caird coinheringaahing

19:16

To caird: To complain that code golf is unfair while still doing not to shabbily at it :P

Erik the Outgolfer

To Erik: To post 2 or 3 answers and then feel a strong force push against you.

caird coinheringaahing

ಠ_ಠ What did I start?

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing This one is rather interesting.

Geobits

To Geobits: To completely ignore the site for months, only to finally jump into chat with a joke

caird coinheringaahing

@Geobits To Geobits: To downvote

Geobits

19:17

Well yeah, that goes without saying. -1

Mr. Xcoder

heheh

You like downvoting?

Geobits

Nope

@Mr.Xcoder Do you see his avatar?

Q: Draw an S-Chain

Background When I was younger, I was taught a method of drawing a weird "S" shape, that I (along with my classmates) found fascinating. Today, I rediscovered it, and due to its formulaic approach to drawing it, thought it could lead to an interesting challenge :P Drawing the "S" The S can be d...

Poke

@EriktheOutgolfer there are no memes anymore. for all we know, Geobits likes upvoting and is always very straightforward with people

caird coinheringaahing

I have a theory. NMP is actually AI that waits for breaks in the conversation to post new challenges.

Erik the Outgolfer

@Poke that's why it was...

Poke

@EriktheOutgolfer Because it gave newcomers a bad perspective on this "Geobits" individual?

Erik the Outgolfer

19:23

now that the memes are deleted we can have a profile picture we like and not be a meme ourselves

@Poke no because they weren't "historically significant" at all

Poke

living memes are the best memes

Take john sakars, for example

classic meme

caird coinheringaahing

@EriktheOutgolfer Admittedly, underhanded questions aren't "significant", but they were locked under that name because there isn't a better one to use

Mr. Xcoder

Bleh, My python answer is absurdly long

Erik the Outgolfer

remember "alex-is-wrong"? that was a bad meme having fun at the expense of alex

Poke

well it was a good meme

caird coinheringaahing

19:25

@EriktheOutgolfer That was quite funny... for 2 seconds. Then it got mean

Poke

put people use stale memes too much

caird coinheringaahing

Also, the tag conversations in chat are so annoying to read in the transscript

Poke

gotta only use fresh memes

caird coinheringaahing

@Poke Like?

Poke

as if I can just produce a fresh meme out of thin air

caird coinheringaahing

19:26

:O I just realised. @Mego stole the GoL rep cap meme from us!

Neil

@Mr.Xcoder I was just about to comment on that 4-byte saving...

Mr. Xcoder

@Neil hehe, ninja'd

Anonymous

@cairdcoinheringaahing I did?

caird coinheringaahing

@Mego Now that you've solved GoL, we can't make jokes about people answering it and rep capping forever D:

Anonymous

I've only rep-capped 4 times from GoL so far

caird coinheringaahing

19:30

@Mego That's twice as many times as my entire time here :(

TuxCopter

Wait, the QFT computer is finished?

:o

El'endia Starman

I've only rep-capped three times. :( I did get close to another rep-cap yesterday though.

Poke

I rep-capped one time with a builtin

caird coinheringaahing

@Poke This one?

Poke

that's the one

Geobits

19:37

@Poke I think it was usually Geobits that gave newcomers a bad impression about that Geobits individual

Anonymous

@Geobits Yeah he was really mean. Glad he's gone.

Mr. Xcoder

yay tied Lynn

Geobits

@Mego Mean as a penguin he was

Poke

@Geobits never heard of him

Mr. Xcoder

Yay beat Lynn :-)

caird coinheringaahing

19:41

I really want to go back and slap past caird. I would have 4000 rep if I hadn't thought of having sock accounts

Geobits

@Poke Who?

Poke

@Geobits Geobits

Geobits

Who?

Poke

No. Geobits

caird coinheringaahing

@Geobits In order for the joke to work, you'd need to change your username :(

How about Bigtoes? :P

Geobits

19:43

@cairdcoinheringaahing What joke?

@Poke Oh I think I've heard of him

Poke

@Geobits I would hope so if he was giving newcomers a bad impression about you

Geobits

No that was Seadrus >_>

caird coinheringaahing

@Geobits ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

Geobits

Is that Jelly?

trichoplax

@Geobits did you see all your inbox messages during your absence or should we start sending them all again?

caird coinheringaahing

19:45

@Geobits None of those characters do anything in Jelly :P

Poke

Geobits

Uuuuuhhhhhh.... send them all again

trichoplax

Actually I think I only sent one then realised you weren't around

Geobits

@Poke Just assume everything fun or able to host images is blocked here at work :(

@cairdcoinheringaahing -1 VTC as dupe

caird coinheringaahing

19:46

@Geobits As what?

Poke

@Geobits unlucky. I'll try to ascii it for you

Dennis

Is -1 VTC a vote to reopen?

Geobits

That was done like the day that face started showing up

@Dennis Damn

HyperNeutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing Yeah I didn't notice that lol I'm dumb

caird coinheringaahing

19:47

Hey @HyperNeutrino how's school?

HyperNeutrino

ok, why?

Geobits

@Poke Ah. You must not have known Seadrus much then

Poke

Correct

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino Just making conversation. Trying to stop Geobits from making "jokes"

Geobits

I never joke

HyperNeutrino

19:48

Then I shall discontinue this conversation to allow Geobits to continue his humorous remarks.

Geobits

At least a topical pun chain hasn't started yet, right?

Poke

It did earlier, no?

when you were talking to Mego

caird coinheringaahing

@Geobits No, but it will swiftly

Poke

cold puns

Geobits

I hope not, because if so I missed it. Unless you mean the mini-chain about ice.

Poke

19:50

yeah that one

Geobits

Oh, that. That was nothing.

Poke

so i guess it wasn't a tropical pun chain

caird coinheringaahing

@Poke To do a Geobits, -1 ಠ_ಠ

Geobits

@Poke I was hoping to get around to tropical at some point. Thanks :)

trichoplax

@Geobits I just made a very late reply during your absence:

Jul 19 at 16:02, by trichoplax

@Geobits Sorry for the 2 year wait. I think the vaporware might finally be about to condense. Final testing on meta at the moment

(but that's since been deleted)

Geobits

19:52

Oh, I do remember seeing that. I still had the app installed on my phone, so I get notifications on pings anyway.

Just been busy with life and blah blah blah excuses reasons

trichoplax

Oh great. I felt a bit bad that it was released when you weren't around. It will remain open if ever you feel like competing though...

I just assumed you hadn't seen it from the lack of downvotes...

Geobits

I might get around to it :D

HyperNeutrino

Heehee, its fun watching Xcoder and Lynn battle at golfing Python :P

The downvoting it that is

@cairdcoinheringaahing RProgN2, Unknown bytes. `_*`ಠ\`ಠ).

I say unknown, because RProgN2 shouldn't accept that character, but for some reason it does on TIO.

HyperNeutrino

(I think it's because Java uses the computer's default encoding, which on UNIX, which TIO runs, is UTF-8, although on windows, which RProgN2 was developed on, it uses Win-1252)

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino Then ask in the APL chat room

Neil

for those of you still wondering, the other base-correctable single-decimal-digit 42 multiplication correction is 5 * 6 which is correct in base 7

HyperNeutrino

oh nvm visiting the chatroom made me remember what I had done incorrectly facepalm

@Neil Wait nobody solved tghat?

Neil

23:43

if they did they didn't mention it

also, what did your comment about assigning the index of a string refer to since I couldn't quite follow it?

also I hope my comment on my ascii ladder charcoal answer was helpful

rip my rep is falling behind lol. Mr. Xcoder and Jenny both now have at least 300 rep more than me

wait huh?

oh

I got the bounty

never mind I got 11 and 12 mixed up so no Jenny doesn't have more than me (yet) lol

xcoder does tho lol

by almost 500 huh rip

ASCII-only

@Neil also sorry haha I've been a bit busy lately, and I've been implementing some other things, I'll try and get around to fixing those ASAP

Neil

@ASCII-only is there a point to that feature or is it just there in case you run out of variables?

ASCII-only

@Neil It's used to access Wolfram variables and builtins (not that they are that useful as variables haha)

I'm working on a new userscript.

remember to escape backticks. just sayin :)

but yay :D :D :D good idea

ATaco

One step ahead of you, Backticks are used a lot in RProgN2, hard for me to forget them.

HyperNeutrino

ah I see :P

ATaco

Just need to hook into hotkey mode and I'll upload it.

HyperNeutrino

yay
