What if there was a SE API for Python (and other languages too!)?????

import stackexchangeapi.network as se_network
import stackexchangeapi.chat as se_chat
import stackexchangeapi.authenticate as se_auth
se_network.set_network("codegolf")
se_auth.do_auth(browser=se_auth.browsers.CHROME)
if se_auth.get_user().reputation < 20:
    print("Unable to chat, not enough reputation")
else:
    roomIDs = (1,126868,127817)
    places_to_post = [se_chat.get_room(roomID) for roomID in roomIDs]
    for chatID in places_to_post:
        se_chat.post("What happens if a non moderator fake “places a room in timeout”? Just asking - WD", chatID = chatID)

Oops I noticed a bug in my fake code lemme fix that

import stackexchangeapi.network as se_network
import stackexchangeapi.chat as se_chat
import stackexchangeapi.authenticate as se_auth
se_network.set_network("codegolf")
se_auth.do_auth(browser=se_auth.browsers.CHROME)

WD there are bots

and dont put all your code (thats big) here, use something like paste

lyxal

Or github gists

Gists are cool amiright?

yes

but i think they are overkill for short stuff like this

^ hmm progress (am making a new font based on minecraft's font)

CMQ: What should I name that ^.

lyxal

the "n" is my favorite glyph

i dont think it's possible to create a font based on minecraft's font, it's not a font

(gpt3's thoughts on your font)

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@lyxal what should i name it gpt3?

lyxal

It really doesn't want to help yoy

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced A screenshot of a font sample would be a nice addition to the readme.

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced Btw is "Die-nooks" the correct way to pronounce Dinoux?

CMQ What do you call someone who "does social media"?

rak1507

Adám

Was looking for something like an informal job title.

I think content creator is the term.

@lyxal You should name it “Minecraft font”

MINECRAFonT

Wansen

Good idea

I think I prefer that actually

MINECRAF on T

Dig down 100m and bury a big steel letter T there. Fill in your hole and make a life-sized word MINECRAF with lifelike 1m*1m*1m minecraft:spawner that has real pigs around it

MINECRAF on T (literally)

LOL

It's just a fancy wrapper over the actual SE API tho

Oh hi

redwolf -> redwofl -> rofl -> lmao -> llama

Redwolf is actually a llama confirmed

lyxal

I mean, sure.

Are you ever going to go back to Redwolf? :P

I'll probably switch back today though

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced Vyxal: ₀℅ Randomly prints either 0 or 1, both of which are utf8 chars :P

Aaron Miller

Oh no, I've been outgolfed!

lyxal

Hehe get gamed on nerd

Aaron Miller

1:55 PM

I could use implicit input/output to print 0, but that's not nearly as random as 4

lyxal

@AaronMiller exactly

You don't see me rolling a 0 in that one video I made that somehow got 1.8k views

You see me rolling a 4 after 17 failed attempts

Browncat Programs

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced "UTF-8 char" makes no sense

Do you mean "unicode char"?

Or "arraybuffer containing the char's UTF-8 representation"?

lyxal

@BrowncatPrograms a character found in the utf8 encoding is what I'd assume

Browncat Programs

If it's the first one, JS: String.fromCodePoint(Math.random()*1114111|0)

hyper-neutrino

aren't all unicode characters found in the UTF-8 encoding

Browncat Programs

1:59 PM

Yeah

hyper-neutrino

in which case it would make more sense to ask for a unicode character because the encoding doesn't really matter unless you want the raw bytes

Browncat Programs

CMQ: What are your opinions on the furriest airlocks?

hyper-neutrino

the what

Browncat Programs

Presumably the airlocks with the most fur

It's harder to make TNB discuss a random topic than I thought it'd be :p

Or maybe my random topic is just too random

The Loop: Our Community Department Roadmap for Q4 2021

Philippe Beaudette on September 19, 2021

It’s time once again for the ritual that I know we’ve all come to love: the quarterly update on Community team projects. This quarter’s projects are constrained by a lack of available technical/engineering resources on our Public Platform team, so you’ll see that we are focusing on projects that don’t require assistance from them.

Q4 looks interesting

Weighted close votes especially

Adám

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced It asks the OS for a random number, so it comes from a shared pool, thus being completely unpredictable.

Directly controlling chat is harder than it seems. It starts off easy and gets hard

This kids is how you trick users of tacit languages into having a discussion
