@Riker I don't think so, but I don't really know a lot about Julia.

for those that have used the SE Oauth API: Is it really over stackoverflow.com?

api.stackexchange.com/docs/authentication

I want to authenticate a codegolf user, but it's telling me to hit stackoverflow.com

NieDzejkob

the whole authentication system of SE is fucked up

they've been an OpenID provider for a while, now it's oauth I guess

I'd say go with it

Neil

aren't they killing off OpenID support?

Erik the Outgolfer

actually, OpenID is to be removed in July

Thomas Ward

and is already in the process of being phased out on some sites

Nathan Merrill

oauth has been around for a while

Pavel

20:37

@NathanMerrill You can ask the PPCGv2 people, I think they have this SE Auth thing figured out

Nathan Merrill

oooh, good idea

Christopher

@DJMcMayhem busy

like that is why not gonna stay most likey

Pavel

The average SO user visits 7 times a month

That sounds extremely low

I visit more often than that per day

stackoverflow.com/company

Christopher

Wow

Had great idea (dibs)

Website where every pixle is 10 cents (buy 10x10 area) but u can buy already owned blocks for 2x the rate or somthing\

DJMcMayhem

And why exactly would people be interested in buying pixels?

Erik the Outgolfer

20:50

something like that did exist some time ago, but it eventually died

(million pixels)

Christopher

@DJMcMayhem the block would link to ur website

basically an ad

Pavel

Or. When someone buys the pixel from you, you get part of the money for it.

Like a pyramid scheme.

Christopher

ohh

that is genus

u get 1/2

Poke

@Pavel where are you getting this statistic

@Pavel imma code this, if i get rich ill ping

Pavel

@Christopher It's definitely illegal though

Proof that Bing is superior to Google (/s): If I search for Dota team liquid or some other team in Bing, it'll give me a live-updating set of information about their current game if they're playing one

Christopher

@Pavel no

it is just like an EA game

u give me money and I screw u over

Pavel

Except if you actually do what I just said, it's a pyramid scheme, which is illegal.

Christopher

well sure

it is legal

illegal only if it is a scam

Pavel

Isn't it

Christopher

20:59

no

u get ur pixles

DJMcMayhem

If it's a pyramid scheme, then it is a scam

Christopher

Shhh

My idea was legit

pavel wants me to scam people (@FBI i know his schools location hook me up and ill confess)

caird coinheringaahing

Can we move that entire conversation to Trash? It contributed absolutely zero, and just seems disruptive.

Christopher

I was talking about a project idea i had

And disruptive is false because no other conversations were going on at the time. And as DJ didn't move it when he last talked I think it is fine

Pavel

@Christopher You have time for a game of DotA in like an hour?

Christopher

21:05

@Pavel School night m8 :()

but put me as a maybe

Pavel

I don't really have any homework for tomorrow

K then

@ConorO'Brien Please look at pr: github.com/ConorOBrien-Foxx/Attache/pull/39

Christopher

@Pavel how about in 2 hours and we get the luca

Pavel

Sure

Christopher

K i have to meme (english project)

caird coinheringaahing

I dread to think what you guys learn in English if it involves memes :P

Christopher

21:20

uhh

It is a 20 time project

20timeineducation.com/20-project

Mine about dota

@DJMcMayhem changed the bounty to 400 for a quine and 20*50 rep for any Pain-Flak answer

so if anyone wants rep just answer crap in pain-flak and ping me

must not have a pain-flak answer on that question (otherwise can't do 50 rep have to do 100)

caird coinheringaahing

@DJMcMayhem What does the "quote" at the end of your profile mean? Is it a reference to something?

Christopher

XKCD iirc

wait nvm

caird coinheringaahing

@Christopher It references Jon Skeet and SE, I doubt it :P

Christopher

yeah XKCD

DJMcMayhem

@Christopher How does pain-flak take input?

ETHproductions

explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/footnote

DJMcMayhem

Oh, args duh

Christopher

lol

I mean u wrote like the 90% of it

@DJMcMayhem you are going to take all my rep aren't you :P

Also when I run out of rep can u make sure to give me chat privs back?

I will prolly enjoy starting with 1 rep again but having to earn my chat back :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Christopher He needs it to keep his privileges when the requirements change. Wait...

DJMcMayhem

@Christopher No

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hehe

caird coinheringaahing

Does anyone else have the Team Spirit userscript?

Pavel

Wheat Wizard does I think

The old version with the colors filling the entire screen

caird coinheringaahing

I think DJ does, but I'm not sure

DJMcMayhem

I used to

caird coinheringaahing

Does it have any purpose? I get that the stars show what team you're on (even/odd user id), but I don't know what the ?/? or the half-red, half-blue line near the chat input box is for?

ETHproductions

21:29

IIRC it's a sort of competition for which team has more stars on the starboard?

DJMcMayhem

Basically, yeah

I don't even remember which team I was on. I think I was blue?

caird coinheringaahing

Red

All the mods except Mego are red :P

Ah, my screen looks much better without a bunch of stars scattered around. I see why people disliked it

DJMcMayhem

@cairdcoinheringaahing on my phone all the diamonds render as an obnoxious red

no onebox

caird coinheringaahing

> last message: 1s ago

Proof DJ is a chat ninja :P

ETHproductions

wait, we get separate about sections for chat?

how is this the first time I've seen "about (edit)"

caird coinheringaahing

21:43

> 31 per day

I'm not sure if that means I use chat too much

> 184 per day

Actually, in light of that, I think I'm fine :P

ETHproductions

> 7 per day

I guess I'm not addicted to chat

it pains me to vote to close the latest NMP as belonging on SO, but...

I think I might get closed over there too

Q: Combine two printfs into one

I want to combine 2 printfs that have a different structure. One has only text printf("Jocul s-a incheiat. Egalitate\n"); and the other one has some integers as parameters + text: printf("A castigat jucatorul "%d cu %d lovituri\n", q, r). The text is in romanian, but as you can see there is a com...

I wish the "This is better on SO" close reason included something like "You may be able to get help on Stack Overflow, but be sure to read their rules about [asking questions](link) before doing so"

ETHproductions

I want to comment, but I'm not sure what to say

looking past the most upfront issues, it's not quite a valid challenge, and not quite a good question for SO either

how would a challenge along the lines of "combine these two printf statements into one with the shortest code possible" go over?

xnor

22:07

a new record! code-golf.io/scores/fibonacci/python

9

totallyhuman

@xnor Is it golfier than the shortest on PPCG? :o

xnor

@totallyhuman hard to say, our fibonacci challenges have been flexible so I don't think there's been one that required printing a list

(the challenge)

Riker

@Dennis hm, ok

totallyhuman

Oh, I should've checked the problem statement first. :P

Riker

wait, since when has codegolf.io existed

xnor

22:11

apparently for a few months, i just found out yesterday

caird coinheringaahing

@xnor It's a shame that they only allow a few languages

This user is very prolific on codegolf.io

ETHproductions

@xnor That's impressive that you beat the record in one day. Was it a simple modification of an existing answer (on PPCG or elsewhere)?

Riker

since it doesn't seem to have rep, I think ais would like that

xnor

@ETHproductions I imagine a lot of people wrote the same 38-byte python answer, and I thought at first there's really nothing to possibly improve, but then I tried some stuff and it worked

totallyhuman

Damn, I got the 38-byter too.

xnor

22:15

anarchy golf experience though tells me that once golfers know there's a byte save, many of them find it

ETHproductions

Hah, within 5 minutes of trying Divisors in JS I'm within a byte of the record, putting me in 4th

not sure where the last byte will come from though...

Q: Add two numbers

Input: Two integers. Preferably decimal integers, but other forms of numbers can be used. These can be given to the code in standard input, as arguments to the program or function, or as a list. Output: Their sum. Use the same format for output integers as input integers. For example, the input ...

H.PWiz

@ETHproductions See if you can beat me on prime numbers :)

ETHproductions

@H.PWiz Working on Emirps right now because it was the next one in line, but Primes might be a better place to start ;)

H.PWiz

Emirps? nvm

ETHproductions

22:31

@H.PWiz First shot is 51 using a recursive function, what's your score?

H.PWiz

ETHproductions

H0tSauce or jakobwitte?

H.PWiz

The former

ETHproductions

There's 47 46

@NewlyFeaturedQuestions Is it possible to change bounty messages?

Golfing tip of the day: you don't need to explicitly check whether 100 is prime :P

@H.PWiz Nope... stuck at 45 for the moment

I seem to recall some folks having a discussion about this a while back, maybe I can find it >:)

H.PWiz

No problem, I still can't figure out how to reverse a number in JS

ETHproductions

[...n+""].reverse().join``

Either that or a recursive function

H.PWiz

that looks good

ETHproductions

R=n=>n?n%10+R(n/10|0):""

two bytes shorter, but costs more to invoke if you already have the n

H.PWiz

83 bytes on Emirps, without golfing (fully)

ETHproductions

23:06

whoops, accidentally wrote a program that finds palindrome primes

ugh, finally got it at 100 bytes

xnor

fyi code-golf.io counts UTF-8 characters as one character which lets you do some crazy stuff

ETHproductions

thanks, that may be useful on FizzBuzz, and other challenges that require long enough code

I'm part of a JS golfing group that found a way to compress any JS longer than 144 chars, so that should be interesting

ETHproductions

23:43

I'm sorry, not FizzBuzz, 99 Bottles of Beer... what was I thinking
