WARNING - SUPERFLUOUS STORY AHEAD On September 3rd 2015, at 5:26pm, Dennis, one of the most prominent users of this site, posted this question. In it, he claims to have "proven" the superiority of tabs. This, of course, is illegal. Therefore I have wrought to punish the tab-users and destroy thei...

user

I really shouldn't have posted my song challenge like that yesterday

StackMeter

@user well that was the bomb of the century

caird coinheringaahing

@StackMeter I think I responded with this either when you first sandboxed it, or after you asked for feedback, but I suggest you remove the "superfluous story". It doesn't add anything to the challenge aside from a bit of context, and the bold header and warning just makes it look/read worse

user

I just realized people can plan for the next day to make their answers short.

StackMeter

@cairdcoinheringaahing edited

caird coinheringaahing

14:12

Also, the Sandbox works entirely on the OP responding to and fixing criticisms. When hyper-neutrino said "Also, I would strongly advise against subjective criteria like having an error message related to tabs", that generally means "remove the subjective criteria"

user

@user Also, the scoring system can be (and is) easily abused. Should've removed Day 0 from the scoring entirely.

@user Allowing people multiple answers on the same day but only letting them answer on alternate days would have been a good idea

May I change the rules now? It's only Day 0 still

caird coinheringaahing

@user It's not the best thing to do, but if you're going to change them, change them today

user

All right

pxeger

@user if you can find the right language + flags combo, it's probably possible to write several "verses" using only error messages (like I have started to do with zsh, but I'm only going to get to day 1 I think)

user

Should I change scoring too?

@pxeger I just disallowed answering on consecutive days, sorry

pxeger

14:18

@user that's probably the better solution

~~In which case, I'm going to change the lyric on my answer to something from a real song~~ Actually, I kind of like it like that. Maybe we can compose a song consisting only of error messages?

user

Good ol' "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Missing semicolon on line 42"

Does anyone remember a poem on reddit that consisted entirely of symbols like `, #, and <?

StackMeter

also how did @Wasif get suspended

user

Maybe the score could be something like sum(answer.score / 2 ** answer.day for answer in answers)

caird coinheringaahing

14:34

@StackMeter Please don't talk (or incite discussion) about other users' suspensions

Aaron Miller

@user "The day changes at midnight UTC+0." That means we're on day 1 now, right?

user

No, this is day 0

pxeger

@AaronMiller Midnight UTC is not for another ≈9½ hours

Aaron Miller

Oh, wait. That's my bad. I was looking at a chart and and read PM as AM, so I thought it was like an hour ago.

StackMeter

sorry

@cairdcoinheringaahing sorry

rak1507

14:50

damn, I didn't realise he was, that's a shame

are they permanent?

Redwolf Programs

Usually not

But further discussion should probably be avoided

caird coinheringaahing

@rak1507 No, and you can find out all the relevant information you need to know by going to their profile. Beyond that, it's kept private

I think the longest suspension I've ever seen is 10 years, which is crazy

rak1507

oh, I didn't know you could see profiles of suspended users, thanks

pxeger

15:04

huh, links on suspended users' profiles are removed

so why can't they do that for spam posts?

Redwolf Programs

New users are limited to two links per post IIRC

caird coinheringaahing

Also, suspended users specifically have all links in their profile disabled, to prevent any potential profile spam

pxeger

I'm talking about this proposal: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/363781/…

caird coinheringaahing

Well, that was posted 23 hours ago

SE typically either [status-declined] things quickly, or takes a few days/weeks to reach a decision

Wasif

15:58

@StackMeter if you are interested to know about my suspension, I used a sockpuppet account to vote for me in January this year, i didn't knew it was illegal, later in february i realized it was illegal and may lead to suspension I stopped. I quiet forgot about them when I got a lot of bounty reps, But it was revealed in April, resulting in a 7 day suspension. I used it in Super User too before, and I will wait till it ends

Jelly maybe? I think just

did golfscript/cjam have a codepage?

Razetime

CJam is ASCII

so if golfscript

GS2 uses unprintables and stuff(not very great to use)

Wasif

do you have a link for GS2

Razetime

esolangs.org/wiki/Gs2

the esolangs wiki is your friend

most of the time

Wasif

have you used GS2 also ;-)

Razetime

16:31

nope

caird coinheringaahing

16:49

GS2 didn't really have a custom code page, it was just bytes-based rather than symbol-based

rak1507

codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/22212/95516 what's the rules for working on this challenge seeing as it was already posted at one point?

I assume it's to not

caird coinheringaahing

I wouldn't

rak1507

damn, I wanna know if my idea works :P

I'll do it in APL this time not jelly

user

17:14

Is Jelly considered an APL?

Wasif

@user probably

No, of course jelly is A.P.L.

Adám

Ah, so it's considered an "APL-like language," not a dialect of APL

Redwolf Programs

17:45

Is it allowed for a program in a language like C to not work with inputs larger than a certain size?

Asking because of this answer

hyper-neutrino

in my opinion, no, because this is not a system / computing limitation but is part of the code

Luis Mendo

+1

hyper-neutrino

that is, even if the computer were given unbounded memory and time, this code still wouldn't work, so it's not modern computing limitations, it's just that the code is invalid

Redwolf Programs

Is there a way to get input of an arbitrary size in C?

user

I think so, as long as you know how big the input is

Just take a pointer, I guess

Redwolf Programs

17:52

Not sure if that's an allowed I/O method though

user

If you have a function, it's probably allowed. What's the context?

StackMeter

i'm sad

why am I sad

a lot of reasons

caird coinheringaahing

Ugh, I'm 46/50 towards Research Assistant on meta and have been for the past 2 days, because for some reason I can't get myself to write any more tag wikis :( Like, I want to, but whenever I click the Edit button, I just spend like a hour with my fingers "ready" to type, and not actually typing ಠ_ಠ

Writer's block

Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author is unable to produce new work or experiences a creative slowdown. This creative stall is not a result of commitment problems or the lack of writing skills. The condition ranges from difficulty in coming up with original ideas to being unable to produce a work for years. Writer's block is not solely measured by time passing without writing. It is measured by time passing without productivity in the task at hand. == History == Throughout history, writer's block has been a documented problem. Professionals who have...

rak1507

I knew there was a high iq maths solution

just couldn't find it

I don't speak mathematica, what is {#,#2,#3}+#4&~Array~{#,#,#,2}~Mod~#& doing?

caird coinheringaahing

@rak1507 # is the first argument to a function, #2 the second etc. & binds everything before it into a function. { } are lists, ~ is infix notation

Can't remember what Array does tho

rak1507

they've updated the answer now

@hyper-neutrino Have you gotten any SE swag as a mod? :P

hyper-neutrino

nope; they've never asked for my address either AFAIK

caird coinheringaahing

Disgraceful smh

StackMeter

I so want that diamond

but to get the diamond, I need to post answers

and to post answers, I need questions that don't have Python answers on

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing i've asked in TL about it; i actually forgot about that, lol. maybe I missed something

@StackMeter no python answers yet

StackMeter

however, Python is very populadr

caird coinheringaahing

19:14

@hyper-neutrino My guess is that either they silently stopped it, or just haven't gotten around to you guys :P

Wezl

@StackMeter or learn sed

caird coinheringaahing

Fingers crossed for the latter

hyper-neutrino

another mod hasn't heard anything about it either and they've qualified thrice since they stopped sending swag so they probably just haven't gotten around to it

we just need to be patient :P

@hyper-neutrino why the <s>s</s> tags

I've had to type that so much, Im adding it to the chat commands userscript

@hyper-neutrino If you're on CGCC, you've already turned to the dark side

i can't seem to find it anymore

Redwolf Programs

Well, I installed an Ubuntu 18.04 VM

I guess I could try Chrome, maybe that sends more details?

Nope, still doesn't work

Have I mentioned how much I hate college board

caird coinheringaahing

Any feedback?

@RedwolfPrograms Rings a bell :P

Redwolf Programs

Hopefully I don't have to download that malware in order to take the tests I paid $140 for

Not like I really have a choice though

caird coinheringaahing

This is why you use Windows

:P

Redwolf Programs

I guess I'll have to pirate windows 10 then

Actually my laptop was originally Windows 10, so it's not even really piracy

It might even recognize a hardware key or something and not even ask me to activate it

user

I wish all widely used software was forced by the law to support all major platforms (I know it's unrealistic, but still)

I hate it when something's just for Mac or certain Linux distros and not for Windows (although it's probably a bigger problem for Linux users)

hyper-neutrino

I think education software should be legally required to support all major platforms...

4

Wezl

@user It's more often Window's fault if software only works on Linux though

@hyper-neutrino Java ftw :)

hyper-neutrino

windows and iOS aren't free so only supporting them is kinda troll (at least, I think they're not free?? idk)

user

20:49

Windows isn't free

hyper-neutrino

i can understand video games only supporting windows (it's more or less why i still have windows on this computer)

Redwolf Programs

@user it practically is

It doesn't care if you pirate it

It just shows a little thing in the bottom corner of the desktop

user

Oh nice

I mean, uh, that is interesting but it will never be of use to me because I have morals.

Wezl

monetarily it's kind of free, but only because then it'll get you to play candy crush saga and stuff

hyper-neutrino

my uni stuff all runs nicely on both windows and linux; granted, it is just websites and we don't have to download malware or anything to write our assessments and stuff

Redwolf Programs

20:52

Unfortunately college board's been really shady about trying to detect VMs in the past, and I'm not risking thousands of dollars, so I'm going to have to buy a 128 GB external drive probably and dual boot it

Oh frick the exam's a week away

user

I think most schools/colleges are reasonable about that

Redwolf Programs

Guess not then

hyper-neutrino

our cs course provides us with a linux server to SSH into and actually it's significantly nicer to use linux for the course

user

I've only heard of a few people whose schools made them download that Lockdown Browser thing

@hyper-neutrino Oh nice

hyper-neutrino

it is my personal opinion that for most classes, if you need your students to download a lockdown browser thing or something like that, you are bad at writing tests

Redwolf Programs

20:54

AKA you are college board

user

The labs at our school disabled the terminals :(

hyper-neutrino

some classes like bio might have exceptions where memorization is actually important but like for math if you're testing people's ability to memorize you're probably doing it wrong

user

^

tbf there's Wolfram Alpha

hyper-neutrino

true

my Math 148 course actually allowed us to consult anything, including wolfram alpha, math.se, asking friends, etc, as long as we wrote our solutions in our own words and demonstrated understanding of the content in our assignment submissions

we didn't have tests, we just had 5 assignments worth 20% each

user

That makes sense

Although 5 assignments doesn't sound like enough

hyper-neutrino

20:56

granted, there was definitely pretty large margin for cheating in that sense. though my mark was still garbage lol. but i think it's definitely a better system than forcing people to install malware to write a test lol

yeah 5 assignments made it quite stressful since each one weighed so much

still not as much as finals lol. i don't like how a 3-hour final can be worth 40% of your entire term's grade, and 40% is low lmao

user

We used to have finals at my old middle school (only took them once before moving to the States) and it sucked if you were feeling down that day, because then you'd do poorly on 2-3 tests that were ~30% of the entire semester's grade

Redwolf Programs

After about a half hour of digging through college board's industrial scale sh*tpost of a website, I think I've determined that I don't actually need to download their app

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing I feel like returning a boolean and using booleans in $L$ might be a bit simpler

caird coinheringaahing

@user How would that work?

user

I meant returning False means you don't count, True means you do (instead of 0 and v+1)

caird coinheringaahing

21:10

How would you figure out the current count? Tracking the previous True rounds?

user

nvm I didn't read the spec properly :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Delfad0r Good point, I've updated to reflect your comment :P

user

I'm not sure I understand how the lists work. If the ith element always corresponds to the same bot, how is the list reshaped as bots become "out"?

caird coinheringaahing

Hmm

Not sure about that tbh

user

Maybe have a dictionary?That might be cumbersome, though

Also, "out" feels like too much like "disqualified," at least to me. I was pretty confused when I read that you want to get out (or am I still misinterpreting it?). A word like "free" might be clearer

Redwolf Programs

21:16

"safe" maybe?

i increasingly agree that MM should require >1 rep

Delfad0r

Woops, I just got rickrolled :/

caird coinheringaahing

Weird :P

@hyper-neutrino You got ninja'd by Redwolf in the comments btw :P

hyper-neutrino

21:21

incorrect

my comment says "there are comments discussing how this is off-topic"; that would not make sense had redwolf's comment not existed already, hence it was not a ninja, but rather that i saw his comment and added on as a result

user

@hyper-neutrino It's alright, just accept it and move on :P

Looks like HN is in the denial stage

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino sounds kinda sus tbh

hyper-neutrino

redwolf's comment is infinitely more helpful than mine

Good, good, accept their superiority

caird coinheringaahing

I'm tempted to post "Press Enter and find out" as an answer :/

hyper-neutrino

does coco village avis have a mall in it?

@cairdcoinheringaahing Redwolf pretty much said that already, so...

Redwolf Programs

Wow, 7th grade me really knew how to draw a cube

caird coinheringaahing

21:27

What's the extra line that isn't connected to anything?

The rest kinda makes sense, except for that

John Dvorak

It is connected to something, it's just that the wrong part is drawn

Redwolf Programs

When you got too close to the cube the lines would try to draw behind you, and end up going to weird points on the screen

user

I just found a Scratch project of mine that claims to be a CNN, but it's literally just (r, g, b) => r*w1+g*w2+b*w3+bias

I don't even know if it qualifies as an actual neural network since it has only one pixel of input and one layer

John Dvorak

I think it technically still is?

Oh cool, looks like I made an AI then :P

Delfad0r

21:37

@user The Singularity is near

Lyxal

22:20

@RedwolfPrograms seems like a happy little accident to me

Redwolf Programs

Wow, I just took a test where there was a question with two right answers

A math test

Lyxal

Which one was more correct?

Redwolf Programs

They both resulted in the exact same graph

Lyxal

Oh

I was going to say "sure the answers might both be right but one may be more correct" but they seem to be the same thing

Wow

Anyhow

I don't know if the Elo list is accurate

Because it's not including any answers from 2021

I searched the query results and the latest answer is somewhere in 2020

Meaning that the results aren't actually for April 2021 but for a period between 2016 and 2020

Redwolf Programs

I kind of want to make my own script that does something similar

Mostly for fun

Lyxal

22:26

So, CMQ: Should the Elo SEDE query start at April 2021 if I'm getting the results for April 2021?

caird coinheringaahing

It should use the most up to date answers

Lyxal

So should I modify the query to select answers after a recent date? And if so, when do I make the starting period?

Redwolf Programs

Why not just use all the answers

caird coinheringaahing

No, the query should download all answers before the previous Sunday (the last time SEDE updated)

Lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms because it doesn't give me all the answers

It only ever gives me 50k max

caird coinheringaahing

22:32

@hyper-neutrino On the other hand, a 1 rep user just posted a MM question which is actually good

Redwolf Programs

@Lyxal Imagine not just using a modulo on the ids to get them in four groups

Made by spent-way-too-much-time-doing-random-stuff-with-post-data-gang

Lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing not modifying the start date doesn't actually include recent answers though.

Redwolf Programs

Just download them in groups then concat the CSVs

I kind of don't think Elo is the best rating system for golfiness anyway

A good system would weight all challenges equally, which the current one seems to do, but it should also take into account how much the answers win by imo

If, say, Husk gets 4 bytes, JS gets 400, and C gets 4000, it shouldn't be equivalent to 4 bytes for Husk, 10 bytes for JS, and 14 bytes for C

I think I've designed a scheme to rate the languages, now I just need to get some code working to parse the answers

user

22:51

The gradscript may be of use there

Redwolf Programs

I should be able to do it without too much trouble, all that should be necessary to handle is the headers

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah. which is why i still don't think a >1 rep limit is necessarily good

it's not too hard to banish spam and crap especially with SD

but if a legit 1-rep user has something they need help on it's annoying if they can't get it

there really isn't that great of a way to solve it, but that's just true of all spam, lol. if there were a neasy fix, SD wouldn't be needed or so important

Lyxal

@hyper-neutrino SD = spam detection?

hyper-neutrino

smoke detector

Lyxal

Close enough

user

22:58

Smokey

hyper-neutrino

it is a third-party (unaffiliated w/ se) project that basically scans every post and edit on SE and checks for potential spam using a shit ton of regexes and other intelligent detection

caird coinheringaahing

Sorry to be somewhat off-topic and slightly inflammatory, but the newest post on MM has reminded me why I dislike religion. Read anything on this question on Islam.SE about a man struggling to reconcile his sexuality with his religion. I'd expect a site on the network to actually provide the kind of high-quality answers we generally expect, not the preaching BS and genuinely offensive remarks that are caused by the religious beliefs of the users

I don't mean to offend anyone, or their religious beliefs, I just wanted to vent a little bit and complain about something on the network :/

user

This post?

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah

hyper-neutrino

Islam.SE almost had to get shut down a while back due to how divisive it was and how much hatred and negativity it was producing (or at least, CMs had to make several posts on its meta about it). Of course, this is not representative of Islam as a whole, and I respect everyone regardless of their personal belief. But I agree - I think religion should be a spiritual guide and not a set of rules to discriminate by, and I have no respect for people who use religion as a justification for hatred.

user

23:00

@cairdcoinheringaahing It's totally all right to dislike the parts of religion cause people to do dumb/hateful things

caird coinheringaahing

@user Yes, but it can be a thin line between disliking parts of the religion and offending people. As an atheist who doesn't want to offend people, I try to be as conscious of that line as I can be

user

Isn't the right approach here to simply flag and downvote them and move on?

caird coinheringaahing

I'd do that if it wasn't +43/-1 (and if I had 125 rep on Islam.SE). Clearly, the site wants it

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing imho it's alright to offend people if their views are outright irrational and they're being hateful on purpose, as long as you don't do it for the sake of angering them

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hopefully the mods don't

caird coinheringaahing

23:16

In lighter topics, I think I managed to (somewhat) break my tag wiki writers block :D

Lyxal

@user you probably should have added some sort of restriction saying that only songs found on Genius before challenge posting can be used

caird coinheringaahing

@Lyxal The Once-ler song isn't on Genius

user

@Lyxal Why?

Also, please don't give me any more notifications on that GitHub issue

Lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing it is

@user Yeah, @Lyxal, I'm closing it and it's staying closed.

user

@Lyxal You can make your own songs or modify them, it doesn't have to be from a real song at all

caird coinheringaahing

@Lyxal Are you telling me you don't know it off from heart? :P

Lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing oh I definitely do

I just wanted to get the official line

CMQ: What's a good way to prank someone (assuming you know they'd be okay with it)?

Lyxal

@user rickrolling

ez

Uncooked pasta underneath the toilet seat

user

lol

Lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing .... that's very oddly specific

caird coinheringaahing

You sit down and it sounds like you cracked the bowl :P

Lyxal

23:32

still very oddly specific

user

Note to self: don't mess with caird. And if you do, do not allow them access to your bathroom

Installing a custom keyboard on their laptop that sometimes replaces spaces with (not to mention I find you quite dislikeable)

caird coinheringaahing

Alternatively, (got this from Captain Underpants) ketchup sachets, folded in half, underneath the toilet seat :P

:o

Bubbler

Is this really atomic code golf?

user

23:33

I think I'll go with rickrolling :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Bubbler I rejected the edit, but WW approved it :/

user

Can I have an F for that person's dignity? :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Bubbler I've rolled it back, I don;t get how it could even be [atomic-code-golf]

user

I think whoever edited it felt NEWS could be considered atoms

Bubbler

I was about to edit it out along with optimization manually...

caird coinheringaahing

...

whoops, sorry :(

Bubbler

No problem

I just thought it's a good opportunity when it's already bumped anyway

caird coinheringaahing

So, I thought that rolling back approved edits undid the +2 edit rep (which is why I think it was better to rollback, then edit more), but apparently not

Lyxal

dang why does the factorial of 100 gotta be so long?

Bubbler

Well, at least it is under 200 digits (100! < 100^100 = 10^200)

Lyxal

it doesn't play nice with code wrapping though

which is sad

caird coinheringaahing

23:41

Ah, ok. If the post author rolls it back, it does remove the +2, but only if the OP rolls back, not if anyone rolls it back

Redwolf Programs

:o

I did a smart

I did a much smart

caird coinheringaahing

What was the smart?

Redwolf Programs

Instead of having to download 240MB of answers and parse the CSVs, I just used some fancy SQL from the internet to only keep the first line

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms You keep stopping me from getting the 1 review I need for Reviewer ;P

Redwolf Programs

~~and I plan to keep doing it :p~~

Lyxal

23:54

~~and i plan to join the people stopping you ;p~~

Redwolf Programs

Hmm, wait, if I crossed out the :p too, does that mean I'm joking about joking about it, and therefore do actually plan to keep doing it?

caird coinheringaahing

It would be fun to see how long the LQP reviews can line up at times that I'm asleep :P

user

@RedwolfPrograms ~~No, it means the person the emoticon represents died in a gruesome accident where they were sliced in half~~
