@Mayube same, 404 bad request here

and Firefox seems to be requesting it 6 times for some reason

Mayube

Chrome is requesting it 3 times

Redwolf Programmed

It's a 400

Oh ninja'd by like 10m lol

I didn't read the transcript :p

I wonder if pfps are another vector for the external images security vulnerability

Wezl programs redwolf

well, more data is always better :P

Redwolf Programmed

Fun fact: This image causes your browser to request the rickroll URL in the background, you can see it in the dev tools but it doesn't do anything of course

Wezl programs redwolf

@RedwolfProgrammed perfect, exactly what I programmed you to do :P

Adám

14:16

@RedwolfProgrammed That's clever.

pxeger

@Adám it's not even too hard to make it show as one image and, when you click on it, redirect to a rickroll

just a couple lines of php or whatever

@user as you can tell by the fact it's good at code golf, APL is pretty high-entropy

so it's probably too hard to predict most of the time

thejonymyster

@RedwolfProgrammed i cant see the image actually

Redwolf Programmed

You shouldn't be able to

thejonymyster

oh, ok

i was thrown off by the "This image" in the start

it is the null image

Redwolf Programmed

No, it's actually just the rickroll link with &.png at the end

So chat is a sussy baka and thinks it's an image

@Bubbler are you about?

caird coinheringaahing

it's 11:30pm where he is, so that entirely depends on if Bubbler has a good sleep schedule :P

Mayube

Would you consider being awake at 11:30pm a good sleep schedule?

I'd say even if they have a good sleep schedule it depends on how early they need to be up in the morning

caird coinheringaahing

I'd consider not being on CGCC at 11:30pm to be a necessary part of a good sleep schedule, as this place insists on making you stay awake 3 hours longer than you should :P

Mayube

good point. There's a difference between being awake and being on CGCC

@NewPosts I don't understand any of this, but I imagine that's more on me than the question

pxeger

@Anush it's not really any use asking me that if you're gonna post it 5 minutes later

but fwiw, I think it's a boring question

perfectly fine and well-specified, but boring

@Adám ah, that was probably it

(I already had enough problems with the en dash in the title)

Cox–Zucker machine

The Cox–Zucker machine is an algorithm created by David A. Cox and Steven Zucker. This algorithm determines whether a given set of sections provides a basis (up to torsion) for the Mordell–Weil group of an elliptic surface E → S, where S is isomorphic to the projective line.The algorithm was first published in the 1979 article "Intersection numbers of sections of elliptic surfaces" by Cox and Zucker and was later named the "Cox–Zucker machine" by Charles Schwartz in 1984. The name is a homophone for an obscenity, and this was a deliberate move by Cox and Zucker, who conceived of the idea of...

thats fantastic

Anush

@pxeger I remembered that you weren't interested so I didn't wait for your response. I hope that's ok

oh ok then

it's ok to think it's boring. That's my view of 90% of the questions but that's ok

@RedwolfProgrammed also Cox ring too I notice

Redwolf Programmed

15:36

Is this spam or an actual answer

Or both

Is it stolen from another answer?

Mayube

@RedwolfProgrammed Spam. They've copied the answer immediately below it sans formatting, then added their spam link

Razetime

spam

pxeger

looks like a copy-paste of some other answer to make it seem legitimate

Redwolf Programmed

Ah, ok. Flagged.

depending on your perspective that's either a sign that you talk too much or not enough

caird coinheringaahing

Redwolf Programmed

~~I just made codegolf.stackexchanghe.com my new tab page~~

hyper-neutrino

I actually can't autocomplete to wikipedia.org - e autocompletes to en.wikipedia.org though

Mayube

@pxeger pretty sure I don't have permission to edit that file on my work laptop

pxeger

@Mayube you could put it on your bookmarks bar

Mayube

@pxeger i don't use bookmarks

pxeger

@Mayube or set up a pi-hole with that added as a custom dns entry

@Mayube why not lol

hyper-neutrino

l autocompletes to learn.uwaterloo.ca and not leagueoflegends.fandom.com which gives me a marginal amount of self-respect

Redwolf Programmed

@pxeger This seems very cursed

pxeger

> ♦ a marginal amount of self-respect

(sorry)

Mayube

@pxeger because I use different browsers on different devices, and because habit

and because if I bookmarked everything I regularly use I'd spend more time managing bookmarks than it's worth imo

pxeger

16:08

@RedwolfProgrammed why? it's a pretty simple workaround to not being able to edit your hosts file, because its' essentially the same

@Mayube I only bookmark things that I (a) regularly use and (b) can't autocomplete in my browser

Redwolf Programmed

Most of my bookmarks are articles I was going to read between three and five years ago

hyper-neutrino

everyone here, apparently: ♦ lol a mod ♦ L ♦

DLosc

@Mayube What browser would you rather be using?

caird coinheringaahing

Am I the only person who just leaves tabs open on regular pages? I think c autocorrects to CGCC for me, but I just always have a tab open on the site. Same with my OLE for uni, and tnb

Mayube

@DLosc Edge

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing I do for email and tnb but that's about it

DLosc

16:14

@cairdcoinheringaahing I do this for a few sites, but CGCC isn't one of them. I can get there by typing c anyway.

caird coinheringaahing

I have 2 windows worth of tabs (I think ~20 tabs total) of sites that I just always have open

caird coinheringaahing

My laptop gets slow if I open more than 30 or so tabs, that'd make my laptop unusable

Redwolf Programmed

16:16

@UnrelatedString Do you not restart your computer? Or do they just reopen when you turn it on?

Mayube

@DLosc Vertical tabs, tab groups, and consolidation of spyware

Redwolf Programmed

And why not just close the window? And doesn't it slow stuff down?

I have so many questions

caird coinheringaahing

What do you mean, "when the computer is off"? :P

hyper-neutrino

i keep my discord alt account and my main two email accounts open as pinned tabs, always have at least one chat window open, and then just whatever i'm working on or intend to look at later

Unrelated String

they reopen when i press the restore session button :P

Mayube

16:17

@RedwolfProgrammed most modern browsers auto-sleep inactive tabs

hyper-neutrino

i've gotten better at closing tabs i don't need :P

it's really satisfying to finish a large assignment or project of some sort and be able to close off like 20 tabs at once finally

Redwolf Programmed

@Mayube Yeah sure but...I'd think a thousand of them would still use up a fair amount of resources

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino I've done that with CGCC challenges before

DLosc

Mayube

@hyper-neutrino My coworker called me a psychopath because after solving an issue I closed the 20 or so tabs I had open with right click -> Close tabs to the Right.

He said I was robbing myself of the joy of spamming Ctrl+W

hyper-neutrino

16:18

lol

caird coinheringaahing

No, you should actually click the x for each tab

Mayube

I actually middle mouse click tabs to close them

Unrelated String

i'd certainly hope so but my firefox generally uses several times as much ram as everything else anyways
at the very least it does have to store some minimal data for sleeping tabs

pxeger

@UnrelatedString lemme give you a tutorial: youtu.be/HJkwGlvN21A

DLosc

@hyper-neutrino I tend to have a separate window for each set of related tabs. So if I've set things up properly, I can just close the window.

Mayube

16:20

@RedwolfProgrammed in my experience the browser usually reloads the page when opening a sleeping tab, in which case all it would have to store is the info it needs to rebuild the HTTP request

depending on how you define "popular"

@hyper-neutrino didn't really think about it tbh

@hyper-neutrino but q<redacted>.dev is a secret project that I'm working on and will release soon™ so I can probably cope with the .dev being revealed

@cairdcoinheringaahing curious why you chose that topic in particular. Are you german?

ooh new secret project. exciting

caird coinheringaahing

@Mayube Nope, but I like Germany and politics is really interesting to me

@pxeger that would make sense. For some reason I have it in my head that caird is welsh. Not sure whether that's actually true or not

caird coinheringaahing

It is not

But I think I'm part welsh

maybe it's because your username sounds welsh

its name comprises three unusual letters, in fact

@RedwolfProgrammed challenge accepted

@Mayube I should definitely be a celtic druid, new career plan :P

Adám

Now, that's ^^^^^ probably intentional.

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfProgrammed "iks-d"

Redwolf Programmed

ziksid

Mayube

@cairdcoinheringaahing Good luck. Druidic practices were passed by oral tradition, and none of it survived the romans

pxeger

16:47

@RedwolfProgrammed "pxeger" was partly chosen for that reason

caird coinheringaahing

@Mayube Then I can just start new practices and claim them as druidic :P

From now on, code golf is officially a druidic practice

Redwolf Programmed

Huh, HEIF produces some really cool patterns with the lower bits

Not as good as JPG though

Mayube

> of the druids' oral literature, not one certifiably ancient verse is known to have survived, even in translation.

Redwolf Programmed

Unrelated String

ooh

Mayube

16:49

in fact we can't even prove that the druids weren't simply invented by classical writers

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing so your plan is to be a career code golfer? @Adám, you may finally have a match

Adám

xqzj is a nice name…

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger i mean

Mayube

@Adám Adám is a nice name :)

caird coinheringaahing

if I could, I would definitely go into code golfing for money :P

Adám

16:50

@Mayube Lots of search algos conflate it with Adam, though :-(

Mayube

@Adám but it's much more pleasant to the ears

Adám

I might just be a second-generation commercial code golfer.

pxeger

@Adám I'd say that's a good thing, else I'd never spell it right in the TNB chat box. "@Adam"

does it still mention you without the accent?

Adám

Yes, @pxegér

One of my father's tasks when he worked at IBM involved golfing a translation table so it could fit in memory.

Mayube

A few years ago there was a kickstarter for a modern-day NES game. For their backers they sent out the game on physical NES carts, which involved them rigorously "golfing" the game (though admittedly mostly the game's graphical assets) to fit on the NES cart's small storage

@Adám ooh, how about @Ã̷̛̻͔͍͖̱̮͍͕͖̥̱̦̄́̀̏̎̃̄̚͜͝͠ͅd̵̥̫͙̓̑͐̔̈̎̈́̎͆̀͛̈́͋͜ą̴̫̳̗̖̺̙͚̺̖̥̈́̉̽̌̅͛̽͆̽́ͅm̶̭̔

Adám

Nope.

pxeger

(I'll stop pinging you now)

Mayube

@pxeger Every time I see excessive diacritics/"zalgo" text I'm just reminded to never use regex to parse html

pxeger

@Adám probably because of all the zero width joiners and stuff

Adám

@pxeger That's ok, I like being pinged; it tickles.

pxeger

16:55

anyone else find this kind of ominous?

Redwolf Programmed

Now that you mention it, sort of yeah

Mayube

@pxeger "I'm afraid I can't do that, pxeger."

DLosc

@pxeger @Mayube The <center> cannot hold it is too late

Mayube

@DLosc embarrassing admission; I haven't actually seen 2001: A Space Odyssey :P

heck I hadn't seen Shawshank Redemption until 2 days ago. I'm really not much of a movie person

DLosc

@Mayube I was referencing this

Mayube

16:58

OH lol

pxeger

@Mayube What's the Shawshank Redemption?

DLosc

(I have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey, and it's a very weird movie. The part with HAL and Dave is the only normal part.)
