The Nineteenth Byte

yawns I think someone forgot to give me my coffee or morning breakfast pastries

@ThomasWard ☕🥐🥐

consumes

ANYWAYS how is everyone

@Adám I think I feel hungrier.

@ThomasWard Good.

@grandBagel And I offer you an APL?

6:42 PM

@Adám Are APLs edible?

@grandBagel apl.wiki/apple

@Adám I prefer Py'n'APLs

unrelated: i hate when major vulns make everyone go insane in the programming/security world >.<

@ThomasWard Not everyone…

@ThomasWard I love it

6:46 PM

@grandBagel Today, a colleague suggested putting Py'n'APL on Tatin.

IRL you rarely get to see things go really really horribly wrong all at once, whereas with major vulns you get to watch the world burn

Plus they're fun to read about

I'm probably going into cybersecurity in a few years, so this is the sort of stuff I like :p

And this one's not that significant, since Log4j isn't as widespread as, say, OpenSSL, so you get to watch the panic unfold without needing to make sure you're safe

@PyGamer0 Yeah, but that's a whole interpreter file. Vyxal's elements.py alone is larger than Jelly's full codebase

[text](link "hovertext")

(The hovertext is optional)

The "hovertext" is optional text that'll appear when you hover over the link

The link is where the actual link should go

Anyone who can crack this?

Finally it worked!

@RedwolfPrograms It’s still pretty widespread lol, we probably indirectly depend on it

I uh...forgot to go back in and fix that

Hopefully the teacher doesn't look at it super hard

@Adám heh.

7:33 PM

@Adám well, I mean, I still hate it 'cause we on IT Security teams have to audit everything and do a ton of mitigations and stuff xD

and then attend all the security briefings xD

:o I got one of my own challenges with the random questions script

8:49 PM

This looks like a very good idea by SE: asking people to list "essential" userscripts so that it's easier to not break things with their JS updates

Ooh that's cool

Should any of mine be listed? I'm thinking GRT

Not sure how widely used it is, but GRT would definitely be a nice idea. Maybe Custom Fonts?

pxeger

CMC: given a positive integer n, if n = 0 or n = 1, return -17, else return 0. Can you do better than -17*(n<2) in Python?

4 bytes in Jelly: insignificant, times -17

Custom fonts is basically deprecated

8:53 PM

Seems like something bitwise might work, given that ~16 = -17

Userstyles work much better for that purpose, CF was mostly just a stand-in

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah, that's why I asked for something so boring and trivial because it feels like there ought to be a better option

@pxeger APL: ¯17×<∘2 or ¯17×2>⊢

Oh, and in conjunction with asking about userscripts, they are also asking about thoughts on an official API for userscripts

A: Essential Stack Exchange userscripts and the dependencies they utilize

0

Userscript name: Generic Review Tool (GRT) Primary audience: Reviewers Brief description: Automatically detects new review tasks and opens them in a new tab (a much lighter weight and actively maintained replacement for the older Review Stalker and Review Stalker Reloaded) List of objects/propert...

@cairdcoinheringaahing This is sooooo awesome

It's almost like the site plugins idea we'd had a while back, but much more feasible

9:19 PM

My suggestion: Reliable HTML/CSS and UI manipulation

@cairdcoinheringaahing Maybe someone should bring up the gradscript here

@RedwolfPrograms Maybe. The gradscript is sort of getting more and more irrelevant as time passes, as it's not longe being maintained

Oh, I really do need to make that leaderboard script I'd been planning...

Honestly, the only things jt still does are a different header, tags being green and a leaderboard on [code-golf] challenges

This seems like an interesting challenge, but definitely unclear in its current form

Maybe printing the steps in some way would be neat

:D I can upvote and do cool stuff on SE on DDG for Android again!

@Adám hey hands off my stash! You can't just go stealing a man's croissant stash like that

@lyxal Those are Danish pastries.

Not according to unicode

> Croissant was approved as part of Unicode 9.0 in 2016

^

Searching for the emoji on ddg returns results for croissant

It also renders as one, for me at least

9:58 PM

Same.

That's a shiny croissant lol

The fact that Adam denied the fact they were croissant makes me even more suspicious that my night stash of croissants is under attack by code golfers

"Pastry" is golfier, I suppose

@emanresuA @AaroneousMiller @user remember when we were discussing getting a domain for vyxal? Well I just remembered I'm part of github education and that gives free stuff (such as domain registration for a year) to students

vyxal.me could be plausible lol

10:03 PM

vyx.al

I don't think they'd be giving that kind of domain for free lol

It is only $18 a year.

Pretty cool domain, if I may say so myself.

pxeger

brb, gonna buy it and resell it to you at twice the price
