Actually the correct way to make a std::shared_ptr is auto obj_ptr = std::make_shared<MyObject>(whatever)

Pavel

@Mego I'm back to calling copy constructors. What does a shared_ptr copy ctor do?

Anonymous

If you're using std::make_shared, only move constructors should be invoked

@NewSandboxedPosts that user's challenges need some work on i/o formats

Pavel

> Complains about challenge in chat
> Doesn't leave comment on sandboxed post explaining the problem

See this is why people say the sandbox is useless

@Riker I don't actually see any problems. He doesn't specify any IO format, and leaves open how you want to take input or produce output.

DJMcMayhem

@Dennis For some reason the election Q&A isn't showing up in the sidebar even though it's featured

Any idea what could be up with that?

Pavel

@DJMcMayhem Maybe it only supports 2 featured posts?

DJMcMayhem

3

MM counts

If that's the case, we should close the best of PPCG 2017, since the election is more important

Dennis

@DJMcMayhem Caching. I've seen the sidebar take over 24 hours to notice a change on meta.

Pavel

._.

Dennis

17:30

Or not. I've just visited a tab I opened a while ago, and I see it there.

Pavel

@Dennis Does it show 3 featured posts?

Or is a different one hidden

Dennis

Anonymous

I see anywhere from 2-4 featured posts, depending on the alignment of the planets

Pavel

I see 2, I don't have the Mother Meta post

@Dennis Huh, 4 features, but only one HMP when I have 2.

I wonder if the gradscript has an effect

@Adám I've discovered recently that the ~ diacritic's sound in Portuguese is unique to it. People who don't speak Portuguese often can't pronounce it, and I actually don't have a clue on how to explain how it's pronounced >.>

totallyhuman

quora.com/…

Mr. Xcoder

@betseg On it...

J. Sallé

@totallyhuman yeah, that's kind of it. The problem is the actual pronunciation of it for someone who doesn't speak it natively, a lot like the rl digraph in English.

mudkip201

It's a nasalized vowel, no?

Mr. Xcoder

Kudos to anyone who’s able to correctly pronounce my last name :P

caird coinheringaahing

19:14

Doom-bra-vah?

J. Sallé

@mudkip201 Yes, but not as the a in an, for example.

mudkip201

@J.Sallé I know

AdmBorkBork

@Mr.Xcoder Ecks-code-er. Done. :p

caird coinheringaahing

Q: How would you pronoun my (full) username?

Erik the Outgolfer

uh, of course that's not his last name

DJMcMayhem

19:21

@AdmBorkBork What?

J. Sallé

@Mr.Xcoder I've also learned recently that Romanian is really really close to Portuguese. (linguistically speaking)

mudkip201

@J.Sallé well, Romanian is a Romance language

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Ugh. Nope :)

AdmBorkBork

@DJMcMayhem I need to beat you to Socratic ;-)

Mr. Xcoder

@J.Sallé Indeed it is.

Erik the Outgolfer

19:24

I don't think that's how you get badges in real life ;-)

AdmBorkBork

@cairdcoinheringaahing cared coin-herring-ah-hing

J. Sallé

@mudkip201 yeah, but so are Italian and Spanish, and those are not really close to each other or to Portuguese

Erik the Outgolfer

no that's totally wrong it's ca-ird coin-herring-aah-ing

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing cáird coin-hering-áh-híng

caird coinheringaahing

@AdmBorkBork Huh, 'cared'? I agree with the second part, but I pronoun the first part as 'care-d'

J. Sallé

19:26

@cairdcoinheringaahing Kerd Ko-in-hering-aa-hing

Mr. Xcoder

Q: "I pronoun or I pronounce"

mudkip201

@J.Sallé eh... not really

caird coinheringaahing

One of my friends pronouns it as 'card co-eyen-herring-arh-hing' :P

@Mr.Xcoder In normal english, "pronounce". In TNB english, "pronoun" :P

J. Sallé

@Mr.Xcoder '+ce'

mudkip201

@J.Sallé Spanish is much closer to Portuguese than Romanian

Mr. Xcoder

19:27

I disagree...

J. Sallé

@mudkip201 no it's not.

mudkip201

@J.Sallé yes it is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Romance_languages

Mr. Xcoder

Where are you from, mudkip? Or more relevantly, what is your main language?

(of course if you want to reveal it, if not just ignore me)

mudkip201

US, and English

Mr. Xcoder

That might explain it :P

AdmBorkBork

19:29

s/English/American ;-)

USian?

Statesian

J. Sallé

@mudkip201 Mutual intelligibility doesn't mean languages are close to one another or not, linguistically speaking.

caird coinheringaahing

@AdmBorkBork Isn't it Usanian?

mudkip201

Historically speaking, Spanish and Portuguese are much closer than Portuguese and Romanian

Mr. Xcoder

CMP: Which one do you find harder: Romanian, Portuguese or Chinese?

AdmBorkBork

@Mr.Xcoder Yes

caird coinheringaahing

19:31

@Mr.Xcoder I bet I can pronounce your first name :P

Mr. Xcoder

@mudkip201 Historically, yes. Structurally, yes. Linguistically, erm.

Erik the Outgolfer

@Mr.Xcoder what AdmBorkBork said

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder French

Mr. Xcoder

Ok, revised: Which one do you find less pleasant to hear?

caird coinheringaahing

Um...

I've never heard any of them :/

Mr. Xcoder

19:33

You've never heard Chinese? I don't believe you!

mudkip201

@Mr.Xcoder What are you defining as linguistically? If spelling counts, then Spanish and Portuguese are very close

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing It's just like how it's pronounced English, but the i has a slightly different accent.

Erik the Outgolfer

@Mr.Xcoder yes, definitely

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Well, not enough to judge how it sounds.

J. Sallé

@Mr.Xcoder I've read a study a couple years back that put Polish, Chinese and Portuguese at the top 3 most difficult languages to learn/master.

Mr. Xcoder

betseg

my name is officially pronounced with a hard g but everyone pronounces it with a soft g

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder I was going to say Vik-Tor, but now I'm thinking Vike-Tor :P

J. Sallé

@betseg if you pronounce jif you can burn in hell for all I care.

caird coinheringaahing

@betseg Really? I'm always though it was -seg as in segfault.

betseg

nah just a gif joke

caird coinheringaahing

19:35

Don't you mean a gif goke? :P

Erik the Outgolfer

uh, do you pronounce your name like bet-sage?

betseg

how's sage pronounced

Erik the Outgolfer

with a soft g (like, dz)

betseg

then no

Erik the Outgolfer

I don't think anybody can even think of pronouncing your name like betsedz, it's just totally awkward

does that really happen where you live?

Riker

19:38

I think it's def pronounced "seg"

he was just making a joke about it

doesn't actualyl relate to how his name is pronounced

@betseg also ಠ_ಠ

caird coinheringaahing

Everyone knows that Riker's name is pronounced Ree-Kai-Er, right? :P

J. Sallé

@EriktheOutgolfer German speakers might pronounce it betsek

betseg

thats how its supposed to be pronounced, except not k but hard g

Riker

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Kinda like this
