Montgomery Montgomery dying was so sad, not least because he had the coolest name in the book

caird coinheringaahing

And was the best guardian by far

user

I remember there also being a judge or something who was kind to them? idk if she was a guardian though

caird coinheringaahing

Justice Strauss, yeah. She wasn't a guardian tho

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

IIRC 12 and 13 were really good but I don't remember the details of the books super well anymore

user

Aight imma skip to the end and get all the juicy stuff about the fire department or whatever

caird coinheringaahing

00:02

12 and 13 basically revealed all of the history + backstory and solved all the mysteries all at once, so they were so much better than the previous 11 :P

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Idk, I like a lot of the previous 11 too

The build-up to the reveal is usually a lot more fun than the reveal itself

user

There was also another series where Lemony Snicket was the main character, I think, and that revealed more about the VFD than all the unfortunate books I read

caird coinheringaahing

They were alright, but they did get formulaic too much

user

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Depends on the build-up

thejonymyster

@cairdcoinheringaahing perhaps those last two were so good Because all of the mysteries from the previous 11 were so interesting and tantalizing...............

user

00:04

There's a series called Pendragon, and you spend 9 books hoping for some cool sci-fi explanation, and in the 10th book they reveal they're all angels or some crap like that

caird coinheringaahing

@user the unauthorised autobiography

thejonymyster

now thats a thinker

caird coinheringaahing

@thejonymyster I mean, yah, but you had to suffer through 11 books of "Olaf disguises himself, the orphans immediately realise, and have to convince all the idiot adults around them"

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Ahem, "unauthorized" :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing tbf in the first book or two they don't immediately realize

caird coinheringaahing

@WheatWizard Huh, did not know the books were older than I am O.o

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Don't remember that, I think I read All the Wrong Questions (or at least a part of it)

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I've read the first two books of that

So no spoilers :p

user

00:08

You mean you don't want spoilers or you don't have spoilers for me? Because I only read the first one iirc

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Both

I don't remember much about the second one

caird coinheringaahing

@taRadvylfsriksushilani It involves some wrong questions :P

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I heard it was most or even all of them

caird coinheringaahing

All?? That seems far-fetched

user

That's not a spoiler! Here's a real spoiler (hover to see)

lyxal

00:10

@user does that involve asking right questions?

user

Spoiler: No

Wheat Wizard

@cairdcoinheringaahing IMO while you could describe it this way it really wasn't that formulaic.

lyxal

@user So then would you say I asked a wrong question? :p

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I really love the scene in the first book with the coffee shop and the A, B, C buttons

caird coinheringaahing

@WheatWizard I reread them last year and appreciated them a lot more, and saw more unique details in each, but as a kid, they seemed very same-y

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

00:12

Huh. I noticed a lot of similarities, like them all having a library, but they never really felt formulaic

They do still discover small bits of information in each one, and even if it was the same story told 11 times, Snicket's writing style is a lot of fun :p

Wheat Wizard

It was pretty character driven, the writing was fun and there was an overarching mystery to follow along.

user

I learned more new words than details about the story through those books :P

Is the TV series worth watching?

Wheat Wizard

If you only look at plot it can seem a little drawn out.

I thought the tv series was fine.

caird coinheringaahing

I remember as a kid thinking that they were all "New guardian. Olaf shows up in disguise. They fail to convince people its Olaf. They find a small bit of info about 'VFD'. Right before they're able to resolve things positively, something bad happens. Repeat". But, again, rereading them, I enjoyed them a lot more

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Has anyone (in the US) ever wanted to poke a paper clip through those two holes in the prongs of a plug, and then plug it in?

caird coinheringaahing

00:14

@user Yep, I really liked it

The "fourth wall" style of narrative storytelling is really fun tho :P

user

Definitely, more books need to do it

Although perhaps it wouldn't feel as unique if everyone did it

caird coinheringaahing

I learnt so much vocabulary from Snicket :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Fmbalbuena It identified 11 as a Fmbalbuena number

user

@Adám For poking paper clips into, what else?

Fmbalbuena

@cairdcoinheringaahing why Jelly program thinks 11 is a jelly program?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

00:18

Whenever you see a plug that's missing the two holes (which do exist), it feels cheap

So that's probably one reason

People just keep adding them 'cause that's what everyone else does

The truth is shocking

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

The D shape of our grounding holes (?) was something that I wondered about for much longer and only recently found an answer to

thejonymyster

"just cause"

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

00:22

It's because there are some plugs with D-shaped grounding pins, made by taking a flat piece of metal and bending it 180°

You mostly see it with the bigger outlets for dryers/ovens/ranges

thejonymyster

well why are those d shaped

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

You can see it here with this NEMA 14p:

(It has 4 pins, but ignore that, it needs an extra hot because it's 240v)

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

00:29

Yeah, it's almost impossible to find ordinary NEMA 5 (the kind you use day-to-day) plugs with a d-shaped pin

They might've been more popular a century ago

Fmbalbuena

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Please remove katlani because This will make everything hard

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

But even finding pictures of a non-round pin on anything other than a dryer plug is basically impossible

@Fmbalbuena From my name? Or remove the language like...from existence?

Fmbalbuena

@taRadvylfsriksushilani no, Full katlani

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

(Don't worry, TNB will keep its english-only rule, katlani will only be used in the katlani room)

Fmbalbuena

@taRadvylfsriksushilani then why you need katlani?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

00:32

And if you just want it gone either way, sorry, but not happening :p

@Fmbalbuena It's fun to make and use

Fmbalbuena

@taRadvylfsriksushilani this is useless

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

But if you don't enjoy making it or using it, nobody's going to force you to do so

If you find it pointless, just pretend it doesn't exist, but we can't just get rid of it because you don't see the point in it :p

I wonder...how many english letters can you clearly and unambiguously represent with a 4x4 grid of on-off cells?

Fmbalbuena

@taRadvylfsriksushilani When katlani ends?

tbf after school activities have been cancelled again, but the people making decisions seem to pretend that everything's just fine

More people get sick every day (there were 60 new cases at my school on Monday) and all they tell us is to sit tight, wear masks, and wash our hands. According to them, virtual learning is a "last resort" >:(

I could maybe stay home and only come in for the math final exam (final exams are banned, so the match teachers got inventive and started calling them BFTs instead ಠ_ಠ)

That doesn't sound legal.

If you know the material, you could spend the time you'd be learning it researching your legal options instead.

user

Well, instead of being >=50% of the final semester grade, they're 45% of the quarter grade

@wizzwizz4 I can't tell if you're joking, but since they're technically not final exams, I'm not sure I'd be successful, and I don't know enough of the material as a backup anyway

Bystander effect

The bystander effect, or bystander apathy, is a social psychological theory that states that individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when there are other people present. First proposed in 1964, much research, mostly in the lab, has focused on increasingly varied factors, such as the number of bystanders, ambiguity, group cohesiveness, and diffusion of responsibility that reinforces mutual denial. The theory was prompted by the murder of Kitty Genovese about which it was wrongly reported that 38 bystanders watched passively. Recent research has focused on "real world" events captured...

lyxal

lmao

Serious question: what was the "stupid decision near the beginning" of Ash that "ruined" it?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

None in particular, I just made a lot of choices that would be a huge pain to change, and so I had to stick with. That includes the way dynamics and those other weird things (alpha, tau, and stuff) worked, some details of the code page, some of the built-in and overloading choices, and likely a few other things I'm forgetting

Having to deal with the parsing and especially those weird greek letter things, which were like...meta-dynamics? was really difficult, not much fun, and I knew they'd hardly ever be used. Ash's control flow/dynamic-like operators were just in general really poorly planned, which made it a pain to use and to interpret.

lyxal

Since then, have you learned/gotten familiar with 2 or more other golfing languages?

Someone on esolangs.org once said that it's a good idea to do so before language creation

I think my synesthesia has a very real effect on how I write code

Like...I go to very great lengths to avoid using e

Unrelated String

is there anything unpleasant in particular you associate with e or does it just generate raw disgust directly

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Honestly I think it's the second

Like...when I was a kid did e murder my parents and run over my cat?

3

With english I still avoid e to some degree, but I've gotten better at ignoring that, but I've gotten progressively more anti-e in my code to the point where I'll spend 10 minutes refactoring things to get rid of an else or a variable name like response

I wonder if I could train myself to see e as green instead

hyper-neutrino

if you look at a letter that's very strongly colored as something else does it affect your synesthesia in any way?

I don't think it does now, but I wouldn't be surprised if something like the colors of a poster with the alphabet on it had some impact on it while I was a kid

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

So I guess yeah, with enough exposure I can change the associations, but I don't think just looking at a really big, bright green e would help unless it was like, framed on my wall and I stared at it every night for hours before falling asleep

What's interesting is that u is also a yellow-ish color, but I am incapable of describing it as a real color

And I don't know if that's because it changes a little depending on the context it's in, keeping me from getting a consistent idea of what it looks like, or because it's at some sort of more abstract color-processing stage than real images

I think writing code just gives the es a different context, if that makes sense

Which it really doesn't

Adám

I forget which colour you see e as, but what do you experience if an e is coloured differently? Do you see both colours simultaneously?

And what happens if an e is written on a background that matches the colour you feel from e? Does it become invisible to you?

@Adám I don't actually see the letter itself as having a color. It's more like an association. The word "let" doesn't appear yellow, but it just "is" yellow. Just like how you'd read a really long word and think "this word is long", I read words with "e" and think "this word is yellow".

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Array depth of a ragged list code-golf array ragged-list counting TLDR: Implement Mathematica's ArrayDepth built-in. This is not a duplicate of this challenge. Here by an array, I mean a nested list that is "not ragged", i.e., it is either a list of elements, or a list of arrays of the same shap...

Q: Universal Command Sequence

Universal Command Sequence Definition An \$n\$-maze is a \$n\times n\$ chessboard which has "walls" on some edges, and a "king" on the board that can move to the 4 adjacent cells, which cannot pass through any walls. Starting from any cell the king should be able to reach every cell on the board....

@NewPosts this will be extreme hard to even answer it ungolfed

there should be a way to give a brute-forcey sequence with loop I think

@Niko enumerate all mazes and starting positions. for each maze and starting position, play out the moves you have so far to see where you end up. then add more moves to complete that maze. rinse and repeat.

Q: Is this a word?

Toki pona is a minimalist constructed language, and thus it has minimalist phonotactics (rules describing what sounds make valid words). Toki Pona has 8 consonant sounds m, n, p, t, k, s, w, l and j and 5 vowel sounds a, e, i, o, u. A single basic syllable in toki pona consists of any 1 consonan...

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Do the associations feel less strong to you now?

CMP: Can you reach porkbun.com?

lyxal

yes

wizzwizz4

@Adám CMP: Give me your IP addresses.

Adám

@wizzwizz4 172.27.238.83 and 192.168.0.28 but why?

wizzwizz4

@Adám I was attempting to make a joke; if porkbun.com were your website, the CMPs would be equivalent.

Didn't actually want your IP addresses. :-p

Adám

porkbun.com is a domain registrar, not my website, but I use them, and now I can't reach neither them, nor 2 of the 3 domains I have registered with them.

@Adám Works for me

Adám

First I thought it was just my home having issues, but now I got an email from someone I'd sent a link (to one of those 2) and they can't seem to reach it either.

wizzwizz4

isup.me can't reach it either.

I think one or more of their regional datacentres is down.

Q: Is there a way to replace multiple "replace" functions?

For a code-golf challenge, i had to use multiple "text.replace(" ","")" inside my code. Such as something like: r=replace;text.r(" ","") Although that doesnt work, unlike i=input;o=i() Any ideas?

from the past 3 days, their questions are getting closed.....

caird coinheringaahing

@PyGamer0 6/12 of theirs are closed as dupes, 3/12 are closed as unclear. They've been repeatedly told about the Sandbox, which is literally designed to prevent duplicate or unclear questions being posted, and still post straight to main

Plus, the 3 that are closed as unclear have potential to be clarified, but OP keeps posting new challenges instead of fixing their older ones
