@lyxal why?

@Fmbalbuena because i was bored and felt the need to create a funny image

it's the names of the moderators interpreted literally

Fmbalbuena

can you name?

lyxal

Fmbalbuena

i mean put to the image

lyxal

the point is that you should be able to infer which picture represents which mod by thinking about their username literally

Neutrino

A neutrino ( or ) (denoted by the Greek letter ν) is a fermion (an elementary particle with spin of 1/2) that interacts only via the weak interaction and gravity. The neutrino is so named because it is electrically neutral and because its rest mass is so small (-ino) that it was long thought to be zero. The rest mass of the neutrino is much smaller than that of the other known elementary particles excluding massless particles. The weak force has a very short range, the gravitational interaction is extremely weak, and neutrinos do not participate in the strong interaction. Thus, neutrinos typically...

hey did someone need me

currently busy trying to unban myself from a server i'm admin on

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino no, just making unfunny sh*tposts as per usual

hyper-neutrino

01:35

aight

lyxal

01:46

@hyper-neutrino how'd that happen?

If you're an admin, how'd you get banned?

hyper-neutrino

heh

so turns out my alt account was still banned since I was using it for testing

and I didn't bother to unban it, so after I left (also for testing), I also couldn't rejoin on my main because discord bans are account+IP bans by default

and I forgot about that, lol. I ended up using a VPN to circumvent the IP ban but I should've just unbanned my alt first; I didn't remember to do that

it's only after i looked up "discord says i'm banned but i'm not" and it mentioned IP bans that I remembered

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino why use a VPN when you can just use tor? /s

hyper-neutrino

idk why after i saw that thing i didn't think to just unban my alt

only after using a vpn and rejoining i remembered i could've just unbanned my alt and see if that works

pxeger

02:01

@RedwolfPrograms I shall take that as a challenge

game on!

user

Nice, competition should yield better products

As an incentive for both of y’all to improve, I will give 500 rep to whomever has more languages by the end of February :p

pxeger

they have to be usable, not just "well yeah they're ready but the rest of the app isn't", I presume?

user

Of course

Razetime

03:42

@hyper-neutrino how could this happen

Redwolf Programs

@user RTO's planned release date is like March lol (with around 40 languages initially, and approx. 10 per week for the next few months after that, plus any user submitted languages)

So in February it'll be like 3 vs. however many ATO has :p

Razetime

04:22

@RedwolfPrograms wew

Redwolf Programs

For many languages, there are pre-existing docker containers, and/or pretty simple instructions to follow to get them running in one. So all I'd have to do is take that and drop some scripts into it. And for languages like golfing languages that are built off of another language, it'll be just as easy.

hyper-neutrino

@Razetime so I implemented a function into the bot to make it ban anyone who deletes protected channels

and protected + deleted a test channel on my alt

later, I removed my verification role and left the server to test the verification flow since I needed to redo some of the embeds in the rules channel

Razetime

gmaer

hyper-neutrino

and then couldn't rejoin because my alt's ban also applied an IP ban to me

and only after I used a vpn to circumvent it did i realize i could've just unbanned my alt kekw

@lyxal lmao

DLosc

Also @Fmbalbuena if you have questions about how to use any of my languages, you can ping me here (don't use Github issues please). Specifically about tinylisp: to print something, you either just write an expression at the top level and it'll be printed (TIO), or in certain cases you might want to use the disp builtin (for example).

Razetime

@lyxal neutrino one gotta be the weakest here

Idk what tech companies have against buttons...I hate things that just detect when you tap them

Because you either tap them by accident all the time, or you can't figure out where/how hard to tap and it doesn't work when you need it to

And then sometimes they'll go through a ton of effort to add haptics and stuff for when you tap it...to make it feel like...a button

Unrelated String

it makes sense with touchscreens but there's no fucking point to doing that with anything else and i hate it

there are some ellipticals at the gym here where the buttons all lag a bit and barely depress

PyGamer0

@RedwolfPrograms poeple think its futuristic

hyper-neutrino

yeah i hate that the lack of tactility is seen as cool and such

arguably it's not great for accessibility and also in general it's just annoying, feels unresponsive, and dissatsfying

user

05:32

Are we talking about smartphones here?

Redwolf Programs

I mean things with screens are sorta different, since you can't exactly put a button in the middle of a touchscreen, and why even would you

hyper-neutrino

uh idk but i'm complaining about my microwave

user

Oh lol

emanresu A

My microwave's buttons are like that and barely work lol

Redwolf Programs

My microwave's buttons are like that, and the one to select the power level just stopped working one day, and even worse it seems to roll a die before everything you cook, and my family just hasn't noticed and refuses to adjust cooking times for stuff

So you'll get an even mixture of things which are quite clearly overcooked or burnt, and things that are half cold

lyxal

05:43

@RedwolfPrograms false.

Redwolf Programs

...well, I suppose it has been two months

lyxal

I have such a lack of life that that's been in the back of my mind ever since

Redwolf Programs

I should redownload the data and make an updated top 100 list

Even better, I should save the code I use to do it this time

hyper-neutrino

sometimes my microwave randomly decides it doesn't want to listen to button presses

unless you press stop and then it works again

@pxeger you can install this if you want to see the images directly in the starboard. if that's not the issue then all I'll say is I don't see a problem with memes/images being starred and it's fine if that's just something we disagree on

Take any 4 digit number where all four digits are not the same. Sort its digits in decreasing order and call it A. Now sort its digits in increasing order and call it B. Compute C=A-B. Repeat the same process with C until you get into a loop

That was meant to be a CMC

At the end output the number you get in the loop

I sense a mathematical formula coming up

I don’t think the code works with 1110

caird coinheringaahing

1110-0111=999, so the "4 digit number where all four digits are not the same" no longer holds

graffe

It should go 1110 , 999, 8991 etc

999 is 0999
