so i wouldn't be that excited to "salvage" it from a help question

Thomas Ward

@EriktheOutgolfer i'm exhausted from 2 hrs sleep

Erik the Outgolfer

@ThomasWard drink your coffee then :)

Magic Octopus Urn

It probably didn't need to be done, but I made a meta-post on the previous ~~argument~~ discussion: codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/14838/…

Thomas Ward

and the asshats in the apartment above me last night going at each other angrily until 4AM when I basically beat on their door and said "SHUT THE **** UP ALREADY OR I'M CALLING THE COPS!"

then they stopped, and I could get 2 hours of sleep.

Magic Octopus Urn

@ThomasWard Male + Female?

Thomas Ward

20:01

mhm

probably why they stopped they didn't want a domestic violence/dispute charge :p

AdmBorkBork

It's pretty well established consensus to "don't polish a turd" -- it just depends upon whether this qualifies as a turd or not on our community.

Magic Octopus Urn

@ThomasWard That's the worst, aside from the couple that had a newborn and I swear to god they duct-taped that child to the other-side of my wall EVERY TIME IT CRIED. WHICH WAS ****ING ALWAYS.

Erik the Outgolfer

did you call the cops? that's child abuse

Thomas Ward

^ that

Magic Octopus Urn

@EriktheOutgolfer They used a baby-safe harness, unfortunately. Cops had nothing to go on.

Erik the Outgolfer

20:03

so? enclosing a baby in a small space every time it cries instead of caring for it isn't child abuse?

Thomas Ward

welcome to the grey area of the law :P

Erik the Outgolfer

@MagicOctopusUrn hm, I'll edit the title of your meta post, it looks kinda misleading to me rn

Magic Octopus Urn

@EriktheOutgolfer Uhhhh... no, it's not lol.

@EriktheOutgolfer Do whatever man you're more of an authority than me fosho.

Erik the Outgolfer

reputation ≠ societal position :P

Magic Octopus Urn

@EriktheOutgolfer How long have you been on this site?

Erik the Outgolfer

20:05

apparently since March 2015

Luis Mendo

@AdmBorkBork My pleasure :)

Erik the Outgolfer

edited :) feel free to roll back or modify if you feel like it

wait, I refresh and it says "Object moved to here"? something's broken...

Magic Octopus Urn

@EriktheOutgolfer feels nothing... my life is a tempest of bytes...

Thomas Ward

@EriktheOutgolfer yeah your web browser :P

Magic Octopus Urn

@EriktheOutgolfer Also longer than I've been at my current job by 1 year lol. 1 year longer than I've been at PPCG.

Erik the Outgolfer

20:10

no, looks like now the title of the post in the URL actually matters, I don't think it used to in the past

@MagicOctopusUrn then try engaging in other real-life activities :)

Οurous

@EriktheOutgolfer If you ommit the title completely it works.

Erik the Outgolfer

@Οurous but this doesn't

Οurous

@EriktheOutgolfer that link? Works for me.

Erik the Outgolfer

doesn't it say "Object moved to here."?

Οurous

Nope. (Most recent version of Chrome on Android 8.1)

Erik the Outgolfer

20:17

and for me it still doesn't work...maybe I should update Chrome

nah, up-to-date already

Οurous

Huh.

Internet magic.

J. Sallé

@EriktheOutgolfer works fine on FFQ/W10

DJMcMayhem

@HyperNeutrino Python, 443 bytes: Try it online!

I'm so glad I got that working

Cows quack

@betseg the second looks better, but aren't 3x3 regions of only mines disallowed (since each mine should be adjacent to at least one non-mine)?

@EriktheOutgolfer bytes are love, bytes are life...

@EriktheOutgolfer also, conversely, love bytes and life bytes.

AdmBorkBork

Hey @MagicOctopusUrn ^^^ I took your challenge as we discussed.

Magic Octopus Urn

@AdmBorkBork np man, cool!

betseg

@Cowsquack oh didnt think of that. also, there arent any in those screenshots, white spots have 0 adjacent mines (looks like that now: i.sstatic.net/PnDzr.png)

Magic Octopus Urn

@boboquack thanks for the edit suggestion!

How do I tag someone who's never been in here before.

Erik the Outgolfer

you don't

even if you invite them, they will not know why they were invited at all

Magic Octopus Urn

20:32

He made such a legit wording edit.

cries @boboquack, who ARE you?!!?

slams row of books to the floor in distress

Erik the Outgolfer

first of all what post did he suggest an edit for?

you can thank him by approving his edit ;-P

since it's your post, it will be approved and applied automatically

Magic Octopus Urn

I approved it, but I can't tag him here or in the comments for the answer haha.

@EriktheOutgolfer I have enough rep to approve any edit :). That DJMcMayhem hasn't ninja'd.

Erik the Outgolfer

but on your posts you make that decision single-handedly

Magic Octopus Urn

@EriktheOutgolfer Oh is it like ~5 people to approve edits for regular users with the rep to do so?

Erik the Outgolfer

I think 2-3

Magic Octopus Urn

20:36

I've never been able to because hammer users swing their bighammer errytime before I can.

Erik the Outgolfer

there are no hammer users when it comes to reviews, only post authors and mods

Magic Octopus Urn

@DJMcMayhem can you approve post edits in 1 vote?

B/c there's no friggen way mego and DJ have that many reviews without that ability.

DJMcMayhem

Not unless they're my posts

Magic Octopus Urn

Wat, so a review counts if you get a vote in then?

Erik the Outgolfer

@MagicOctopusUrn why

uh, what "vote"?

Magic Octopus Urn

20:39

@EriktheOutgolfer You said 3 people have to "approve" a review with a vote.

Erik the Outgolfer

it's called a review

you don't vote on reviews

Magic Octopus Urn

I am so friggen confused now.

Erik the Outgolfer

just 2 "approve" reviews for a review queue item

Magic Octopus Urn

Oh, so yeah, I was ~~right~~ 1 off??

AdmBorkBork

@DJMcMayhem Currently 74 to 97, I'm still catching you up.

Erik the Outgolfer

20:45

lol why is everybody trying to compete DJ

AdmBorkBork

He was hovering at 96 challenges for like a year

Erik the Outgolfer

so?

:P

AdmBorkBork

That's it. Nothing beyond that aside from I started joking that I was going to get Socratic before he was.

Magic Octopus Urn

Oh god I'm 46 O_O

Really? That's it? I thought I had a ton of challenges...

I guess I have like 40 crappy ones.

Actually only 6 of my questions are poorly received lol. Really though? I've only made 52 questions? Rookie numbers...

Who's posted the most questions of all time?

Erik the Outgolfer

not actually

totallyhuman

20:49

~~helka~~ calvin's hobbies probably

AdmBorkBork

Yeah, he has 2x Socratic plus more

Magic Octopus Urn

@totallyhuman That's what I was thinking lol.

totallyhuman

SEDE can confirm though

Magic Octopus Urn

@totallyhuman I've never witnessed him, but on all his most-recent posts there's comments like "when are you coming back to us, all powerful question master?"

totallyhuman

all kinds of good questions, that's why :P

the second most voted challenge is by them and it's technically off-topic

but ppcg made an exception because it's a good challenge

Magic Octopus Urn

Magic Octopus Urn

Tetris was a cool read lol.

Mr. Xcoder

That feel when a Pyth port of a Jelly answer of mine is 2 bytes shorter >_>

Magic Octopus Urn

@Mr.Xcoder Total # bytes + link? That's fairly rare.

Mr. Xcoder

@MagicOctopusUrn 9 bytes Pyth, 11 Jelly, this "challenge" (uh well...)

@NewMetaPosts Incredibly slow today.

Magic Octopus Urn

Q: On editing somebody else's off-topic question to make it on-topic without the owner's word

Recently a user joined the site asking a question that was an equivalent of the routinely closed, "hey guys please solve my homework for me". Here's the specific question I'm talking about. An existing user then proceeded to edit the question to make it more fitted to our site, and I voted to reo...

Mr. Xcoder

I was just writing one in 05ab1e too

Magic Octopus Urn

@Mr.Xcoder I got to like 10 bytes then cried.

Erik the Outgolfer

@NewMetaPosts 58 minutes, fast wake up

totallyhuman

faster than me on mondays

Mr. Xcoder

20:57

Ok I am trying it too...

Magic Octopus Urn

@Mr.Xcoder It actually not hard, but the fact that you can't vectorize the duplication of elements is killer.

Mr. Xcoder

I know it's not hard lol

Magic Octopus Urn

I had an answer that was 7-bytes, but forgot it wouldn't work on 2-digit numbers in the list.

Used × which is bad for 10+ lol.

For [11], 11 I was getting 1+1+...+1

Mr. Xcoder

I wish 05ab1e took the arguments in reverse order...

10 bytes

@MagicOctopusUrn Here is my version

totallyhuman

;-; i just can't get left unclosed strings to work

Zacharý

So much blue, black, and white

DJMcMayhem

@HyperNeutrino Any golfing tips here?

AdmBorkBork

@Zacharý You're only saying that because your avatar is purple.

Mr. Xcoder

Ah, nevermind, sorry!

DJMcMayhem

:42902746 Nope. x.append(y) -> global x;x+=[y]

Mr. Xcoder

@DJMcMayhem while len(a)and a[-1] => while a and a[-1]

I think.

DJMcMayhem

21:17

Ah, good one

Mr. Xcoder

Wow that code is odd, have a +1.

DJMcMayhem

Thanks! :)

I'm really glad I was able to outgolf the other answer so much

totallyhuman

if you have to use global in golf, what are you doing :P

Mr. Xcoder

Also ಠ_ಠ print(a) => print a

Zacharý

@AdmBorkBork ._,

DJMcMayhem

21:18

@Mr.Xcoder Oh duh. I forgot to change that when I switched form 3-2

I wish I could do n=lambda c:print(c)or c, but alas, python 2 doesn't allow print in a lambda

Mr. Xcoder

@DJMcMayhem 350 bytes

HyperNeutrino

I'll look at your code later for golf tips maybe

totallyhuman

@HyperNeutrino if you have to use __future__ imports in golf, what are you doing

HyperNeutrino

21:20

lol true

DJMcMayhem

@HyperNeutrino +1 million bytes

totallyhuman

oh no why is your eye leaking

DJMcMayhem

The w() function is hideous, but everything I can think of that's shorter causes weird bugs

@Pavel "Vim Anywhere" is false advertising. No Windows support. :(

Zacharý
