I'm really tempted to super-ping the user and ask them to join chat (using their Mathematics account)... but I won't.

Socratic Phoenix

super-ping-ing sounds scary...

wizzwizz4

@SocraticPhoenix It's like a ping, but you can never escape.

The system treats it as though the user has its hat.

It likes its hat.

Socratic Phoenix

I was going to say "Wait what" but I assume your referencing something... perhaps XKCD, perhaps not...

wizzwizz4

Oh, and, uh, if the Russian government asks, that submarine was always there.

Socratic Phoenix

Do i get social points for recognizing a reference?

John Dvorak

20:06

Not this time

wizzwizz4

@SocraticPhoenix We don't have those yet.

Socratic Phoenix

I'm waiting eagerly :)

wizzwizz4

//TODO: Update the TODO-detecting regex to detect TODOs outside single-line comments.

HyperNeutrino

20:10

Ooh we should have a Social Points system in TNB /s

that is such a good idea lol

And we have Social Mods who can give or take social points from people

AdmBorkBork

Isn't that what stars are for?

HyperNeutrino

well... kind of :P

(This reminds me of the Social Point system my friend created in grade 6 when he was really bored)

Socratic Phoenix

all of this sounds really Orwellian...

HyperNeutrino

It lasted until the end of grade 8 :P

I don't know how many I have/had but I think I had around 16, while the most and least points held by individuals were around 150 and -45

caird coinheringaahing

CMP: What is the most boring thing you ever had to do in school?

HyperNeutrino

20:13

school itself...? :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing go to it

Socratic Phoenix

@cairdcoinheringaahing first day of school: dress code and rules shpeel that I heard the last 3 years -_-

caird coinheringaahing

Nah, school is alright if I've got maths or CS that day

John Dvorak

@cairdcoinheringaahing go there

HyperNeutrino

Most boring thing like subject or just anything we ever do/did?

AdmBorkBork

@SocraticPhoenix Yeah, I'd agree. First day tends to be the most boring.

caird coinheringaahing

20:14

Subject or extra-curricular activity

HyperNeutrino

Probably the entirety of Civics and Careers (I took it online)

dzaima

@cairdcoinheringaahing For me even then school isn't 'alright'. Even fun stuff gets taught the most boring way possible

Socratic Phoenix

Subject? "Research Block" a.k.a. we have nothing for you to take in this period

@dzaima I guess I'm lucky... my CS teaching is awesome!

HyperNeutrino

I would've said Geography but at least one of my friends was in that course and the teacher didn't care about if we talked as long as he wasn't teaching at the moment (which was like always)

For me, school CS is absolute hell. They haven't even started with actual programming yet.

AdmBorkBork

Most boring subject for me would have been Trig. I don't think it was worth a whole semester.

caird coinheringaahing

20:16

@SocraticPhoenix Yeah, same here. They basically gave us a spec and 20 hours to code it

HyperNeutrino

You had a whole semester of trig?

AdmBorkBork

Or keyboarding class ... yeah, I'm old enough we had a keyboarding class to learn to type.

HyperNeutrino

geez we had like 2 weeks and I almost died from boredom like how did you live lol

AdmBorkBork

Yeah, nothing but trig for a semester

Socratic Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino well... the teacher was awesome because she supervised me learning more advanced topics than the classes I wasn't in xD... the advantages of being self taught...

caird coinheringaahing

20:16

I just wrote a program on my calculator to do it for me :P

Socratic Phoenix

trig. is. evil.

Eric Tressler

@cairdcoinheringaahing your calculator is a program to do that for you

AdmBorkBork

I got penalized a lot on my grades in keyboarding class because I was (and still am) a fast typist. So, I wasn't "showing improvement." Sorry, but I figured typing at 90+ wpm was good enough.

Socratic Phoenix

I've never taken a keyboarding class...

caird coinheringaahing

@EricTressler Nah, as in you enter the type of triangle and the angles and it outputted all possible angles :P Not as good as using the simultaneous equation solver though :P

Eric Tressler

20:18

@AdmBorkBork don't stenographers typically need ~120wpm?

HyperNeutrino

@SocraticPhoenix Those were a while ago :P

AdmBorkBork

Stenograph machines =/= QWERTY

Eric Tressler

really?

HyperNeutrino

My typing speed is around 105 IIRC, though errors bring that down to about 95 - 100

Socratic Phoenix

I've never tested my typing but its always been fine for me...

AdmBorkBork

20:19

@EricTressler Yeah. Stenotypes are more like typing in syllables rather than spelling out the words with letters.

caird coinheringaahing

Same here, I just type and correct spelling errors afterwards

DJMcMayhem

@AdmBorkBork How'd you get there? I can't get >90

AdmBorkBork

@DJMcMayhem Online gaming, lol

DJMcMayhem

Well I do that too

AdmBorkBork

I correct my errors inline.

DJMcMayhem

20:20

Huh

Oh, you mean from chatting?

HyperNeutrino

At what age did you first start typing decently long things?

(general question)

caird coinheringaahing

About when I discovered computers :P

wizzwizz4

@HyperNeutrino What sort of things?

DJMcMayhem

@HyperNeutrino Probably 15-16 when I started learning python

caird coinheringaahing

testing very long word with out spell checking

:P That went alright

HyperNeutrino

20:21

Ah ok

@wizzwizz4 Just anything like essays, research papers, etc

Socratic Phoenix

80 WPM according to free internet tests...

AdmBorkBork

@DJMcMayhem Yeah. Had to type fast in Team Fortress.

Scrooble

I can peak at about 30 wpm...

HyperNeutrino

rip

Scrooble

Much faster on my calculator.

HyperNeutrino

20:22

what typing speed tester are you using?

caird coinheringaahing

I don't understand American school "names" (Senior, freshman etc.) Just use the year/grade :P

Socratic Phoenix

20:26

@cairdcoinheringaahing agreed

HyperNeutrino

ikr :P

Socratic Phoenix

but what I if I forgot my grade... or age... or birthday... (all of which I have done at times)

Eric Tressler

@AdmBorkBork I assume the lefthand side represents the court shorthand?

caird coinheringaahing

AdmBorkBork

@EricTressler Correct.

Socratic Phoenix

@cairdcoinheringaahing dawn of the I don't remember

Eric Tressler

@AdmBorkBork that looks really bizarre, but I'm sure someone thought that through carefully

AdmBorkBork

Yeah. See what I mean about it being almost like typing in syllables? It's really weird. But, it gets the typing fast enough that they can type real-time compared to someone speaking.

Socratic Phoenix

@EricTressler It must be a fancy encoding... faster appears to take a lot of space...

HyperNeutrino

Does anyone here know the proper notation for Tautology and Contradiction in boolean algebra? I suddenly forget lol

Socratic Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino when I learn Boolean Algebra, I'll tell ya

HyperNeutrino

20:29

:P

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino Does Google count as "here"?

AdmBorkBork

@HyperNeutrino Tautology is phi = 1, isn't it?

HyperNeutrino

@AdmBorkBork not sure?

I remember it being T_0 and T_1 but that seems wrong

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino Wait, you forgot the numbers 1 and 0?

HyperNeutrino

yes

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino What's that in age? (or UK years)

Socratic Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino I'm in not-Canadian grade 10 or higher...

HyperNeutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing I'm 15 right now which is the standard age for grade 10; some people are 14 and the odd person will be 16 in a few weeks (or maybe even now, depending on circumstances)

UK Year 11

Socratic Phoenix

I'm in U.S. year 12, and I'm 17...

caird coinheringaahing

20:34

@HyperNeutrino Wait, there are 14yos in your year?

Scrooble

@SocraticPhoenix Same

HyperNeutrino

They're the youngest ones in that year, with birthdays near the end of the year. I have one person in my grade whose birthday is in early November.

Usually age == grade + 5

wizzwizz4

@HyperNeutrino Isn't that early in the year?

HyperNeutrino

no

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino age = grade + 5 ± 1

HyperNeutrino

20:35

I mean calendar year :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing yes, that is true

wizzwizz4

Wouldn't August make you youngest in the year?

HyperNeutrino

Only people with their birthday in the summer vacation will have their age perfectly aligned with their grade for the entirety of the school year (like me)

Scrooble

And me

HyperNeutrino

@wizzwizz4 no because your grade aligns to the calendar year but the school year is not :P

Scrooble

Even better is being born in 2000. No need to remember year, just my age

wizzwizz4

20:36

@HyperNeutrino I thought you said UK. :-/

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino Huh, that's different to ours. My birthday is late in the year, and I'm one of the youngest in my year

ATaco

Australia aligns the school year to the year

Socratic Phoenix

@Scrooble except you also have to remember if your birthday has passed yet...

HyperNeutrino

@wizzwizz4 I live in Canada but Grade 10 here is UK Year 11

AdmBorkBork

All these grade numbers are confusing. Freshman / Sophomore, etc. is much easier. :p

HyperNeutrino

DJMcMayhem

Has anyone in here read the Book Outliers by Malcom Gladwell?

Dennis

@Neil Well, that was in April and Firefox 50...

caird coinheringaahing

Probably because our summer is at the end of the year

DJMcMayhem

This conversation reminds me of the first chapter of that

Socratic Phoenix

20:37

@DJMcMayhem I owned it once

HyperNeutrino

@ATaco oh yeah that's true

caird coinheringaahing

@ATaco Do you have Christmas in the summer holidays?

DJMcMayhem

Interestingly enough, being older than most people in your grade is a huge advantage that carries throughout your whole life

wizzwizz4

@Scrooble Hello millennial. Apparently you are the cause of all modern societal problems. Is this true? :-p

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem How?

DJMcMayhem

20:38

So he analyzed a bunch of professional Hockey players in Canada, and he noticed that a massive portion of them (like 40%) were born in January

Uriel

@HyperNeutrino wiki claims it to be ⊨

HyperNeutrino

huh interesting

Socratic Phoenix

And canadian hockey players are a representative sample?

Scrooble

@wizzwizz4 Not us collectively! Just me.

3

HyperNeutrino

I prefer 1 and 0 because golfier in terms of UTF-8 bytes :P

ATaco

20:39

@cairdcoinheringaahing yep

DJMcMayhem

Because January is the cutoff birthdate for hockey tryouts, that small advantage of being a couple months older than your peers (when you're 9-10) is a massive advantage, so coaches see you as more talented, put you in better training, and encourage you more. After many years, that small age/size advantage adds up because of all the extra opportunities you've received

Scrooble

@ATaco That is almost beyond the limit of my imagination.

DJMcMayhem

@SocraticPhoenix Not necessarily, but the concept extends to academics too

AdmBorkBork

Fascinating.

Scrooble

IIIIIIII'm dreaming... of a whiiiiiite Christmas...

DJMcMayhem

20:40

And the same effect is noticeable in other sports too. Most Baseball players are born in August

HyperNeutrino

That's an interesting concept, except in school there's no "better training" :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Scrooble If you're in Australia, keep dreaming :P

Socratic Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino yeah... I heard that some schools once had honors programs...

DJMcMayhem

@HyperNeutrino No, but there are labels. Succeeding in school makes you enjoy it more, and try harder, repeatedly failing makes you doubt your own ability

Scrooble

Hmm. Should that have been "Iiiiiiiii'm" instead?

caird coinheringaahing

20:41

@DJMcMayhem What about golfing? Does your birthday affect that? hopes birthday is same as Dennis'

Scrooble

Scratch that.

DJMcMayhem

And yeah, there are honors programs too

HyperNeutrino

I suppose

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing No, because there are no tryouts or age limits for golfing

People only golf because they're weird nerds :P

Socratic Phoenix

@DJMcMayhem I prefer the term 'geek'

Scrooble

20:41

The older ones go to sports instead of golf...

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem I'm sure Hyper knows about the age limits :P

HyperNeutrino

I mean early on I guess; I was put into the enrichment class under "-Intellectual -Giftedness" (they look like flags but improper ones :P) but in high school there's just AP which is just more stuff that's still boring :P

let's say some points continually oscillate between two boundaries, inclusive

e.g. a point is defined by [l, r]

and it starts at l at t=0

and moves towards r at 1 unit per time unit

when it reaches it it goes back to l, and back and forth forever

now if you have two such points [l, r] and [a, b], at which times do the points overlap?
