@taRadvylfsriksushilani They could, but it wouldn't take effect right away
 
i see smth about decentralization and pfps
y'all better not be making nfts
 
No lol
We're planning an even bigger pfp swap
Where we don't know who's who
 
oh no
 
@hyper-neutrino I've always wanted to try making nfts lol
 
5:01 AM
@taRadvylfsriksushilani Though I think, from the wording, that they could pass it in October 2022 and it would go into effect after the November election? Unless the "after an election" bit is interpreted to mean that the next Congress has to take office first.
 
Note for the pfp swap: If you get Lyxal, you also get Lyxal's fridge
 
If you get me or Aaroneous, you is plat
 
If you get me, you have to take care of NPSP for me ;p
 
@emanresuA meaning you'd need to quickly develop immunity to radiation
 
5:02 AM
if you get me, you get mod powers
4
 
ill make an nft now:
 
If you get me you get control of vyxal which includes veto powers and full organisation access
 
its called the sunset
 
I'd never participate in NFT stuff, too environmentally harmful
 
5:04 AM
I'd rather keep a lightbulb on for 14 years, instead of make a single transaction
 
idk whats nft
and now @emanresuA is not in AI pfp gang
 
@DLosc yepyepyep
 
@PyGamer0 Non-fungible token
 
No more
 
@PyGamer0 blessed
 
5:05 AM
i think NFTs are random pictures people buy on the internet
 
My only reason for participating in NFT business would be to see if people really would buy "ownership" of anything
and see just how much like the art market NFTs are
 
@PyGamer0 Sort of. NFTs can technically be any resource, not necessarily pictures
But when people say "NFT", that's usually what they mean
 
This message could be an NFT
2
heck, they sold ownership of the "Charlie bit my finger" video as an NFT
 
@PyGamer0 i am selling it for $πe100 :P
 
the definition of an NFT is any thing that cannot be copied / is unique - that's what the "non-fungible" means
 
5:07 AM
wdym by screenshotting nfts
 
so even if you reupload charlie bit my finger, unless it's the actual original upload, it is not the same thing, and the original cannot be cloned, therefore it is not fungible
even if you screenshot an NFT, that doesn't matter, because you do not have ownership over the unique token value whose ownership can be verified in the blockchain
 
for instance: youtube.com/watch?v=0EqSXDwTq6U isn't the original upload
 
AFAICT the image is just a representation of the underlying token right?
 
but it's the full thing
 
oh wow NFTs are just another fancy use of so called blockchains
if i am right
 
lmao
 
Basically, any time you use blockchain to manage the ownership of distinct objects, they are NFTs
 
technically it doesn't need to be on the blockchain
 
if anyone comes to you promoting blockchain technology for anything other than cryptocurrency, run as far away as possible
 
you can own a physical NFT
 
5:09 AM
@Razetime Well, first of all, I think it's not working :(
 
if they promote crypto you should probably also run away
 
Would that be a "token" though?
 
since cryptocurrency and NFTs use blockchains, both are similar
 
^^^
 
@hyper-neutrino that's true, but I more meant for powering things, not the actual product
 
5:10 AM
i never understood the point of cryptocurrency
 
@DLosc it is performing the best squish
 
oh i guess it wouldn't be a token maybe
 
Blockchain is not just a buzzword, it's a buzzconcept
 
@lyxal true
 
but honestly the question needs a more comprehensive search, greedy doesn't work
 
5:10 AM
@Razetime Should be ⟨ 7 7 8 8 8 ⟩ for that input, right?
 
It literally has no purpose IMO
 
like almost no country accepts cryptocurrency
 
blockchain is good for crypto/nfts
and afaict that is basically where it ends
 
@hyper-neutrino I disagree
 
@PyGamer0 the dark web does
 
5:10 AM
with the first or second message
 
I honestly think a semi-centralzed system is more secure
 
oh yeah we were talking about that a while ago
 
@DLosc yeah it only performs a single squish which produces the highest sum
 
I wrote up a short paper on my idea
 
what is blockchain; just a linked list using hashes
 
5:11 AM
well, i mean blockchain has a purpose in that it supports a fully decentralized ledger system
regardless of if that's actually the best system
 
but obviously we need to check all squishes for the question with a recursive search
 
I guess it's sort of an XY problem IMO
 
@Razetime Ohh, got it. I thought the first 8 was coming from a second squish, but that's the original value at that index.
 
the point isn't that it's secure, more that big corporations can't frick with it
 
@hyper-neutrino lemme guess a 3b1b video
 
yeppo
 
yep 3b1b is great
 
5:12 AM
@lyxal They still couldn't with even a fully centralized system
As long as there's proper signatures and counters
 
only a handful of youtubers use manim
 
The worst you can possibly do as the central authority in a centralized system using proper cryptography is refuse to accept a transaction
 
@taRadvylfsriksushilani but the ones in charge of the centralised system can
 
Not true
If the two participants digitally sign the transaction, the central authority cannot fake a transaction
 
I'm talking in the traditional sense
 
like actually physically
 
Physical objects suck ngl
Uploading my consciousness to TNB in the next update
 
@taRadvylfsriksushilani no, only vacuums suck
 
that sounds like a terrible idea
I wouldn't trust SE chat
 
It only goes down like...occasionally
 
5:14 AM
@taRadvylfsriksushilani see you virtually in 10 years
assuming SE actually updates chat in that time
 
@Razetime I'm not sure whether there's going to be a better way than just trying all possibilities, is there? Since there's an example where the greedy approach doesn't work.
 
yeah pretty much
 
@taRadvylfsriksushilani you are probably using a physical object to talk here
 
the best way to do digital ledgers would just make each transaction a Pull Request and require at least 2 people with write access to approve and require checks like linting/test cases/etc before approval /s

15.(e) It is a floating point constant.
(i) 4.2
(ii) 4.2f
(iii) 4
(iv) both (i) and (ii)
^ computer exam
what do yall think the correct answer is?
i think its (ii) but the answer is (iv)
 
What language?
 
Java
 
5:24 AM
Can't help you there, I'm afraid.
 
@PyGamer0 makes sense
 
@lyxal?
 
4.2 is technically a float
as is 4.2f
 
@lyxal but isnt 4.2 double ?
 
hence it's both (i) and (ii)
@PyGamer0 not neccesarily
 
5:25 AM
hmm ok
thanks
 
depends on what its assigned to
 
i got 47/50 for computer
 
@lyxal no
you can't assign 4.2 to a float because it's a double
 
@Razetime Here's a dyadic squish function that takes the index to squish as the left argument. Might be useful.
 
@hyper-neutrino ok now i am confused
 
5:40 AM
4.2 is a double
4.2f is a float
however, "floating point constant" should theoretically include both because both are floating point numbers
regardless of their data type and encoding
 
So the "both" answer is correct because float = "single-precision floating-point number" and double = "double-precision floating-point number," so they are both floating-point constants even though they are not both float constants? That's confusing.

yep. bad problem wording
 
my first silver badge in code golf exchange! yay
although i accidentally left for a few days last week so i lost the streak of consecutive days :(
 
@Razetime One golf of your original that I can spot: (1-˜≠𝕩) can be (≠1↓𝕩)
 
5:53 AM
ah neat
 
I wonder if dyadic might be useful in some way (give it a left argument of 3, perhaps)
 
the problem is that dyadic ↕ gives only windows of equal length
and we need to modify the array
3↕0∾0∾˜ or similar
 
looks way too similar to in this font
 
ah i just use stylish to change stuff to iosevka
 
6:20 AM
uh so i changed the monospace font here to iosevka and ~∾∞ look very similar
oh and btw all of my Jan exams are over

@hyper-neutrino so VTC as unclear?
 
@PyGamer0 most of the time i don't have a problem with these

7:02 AM
what are a minimal set of commands for turing completeness?
 
2
If you want a non-lenguage language
Otherwise 1
 
depending on how you define command you've also got oisc architectures and similar
 
That's true too
And then also, if we define command as a built-in function, exec in python and equivalent in other languages are enough for TCness

> 89% of Americans said fair elections are important to democracy
Source: a poll cited by xkcd
 
10:19 AM
I, for one, don't think fair elections are important to democracy.
 
Wait what
Why?
 
10:45 AM
Because elections are only to assign posts to politicians. We don't need those very much. Referendums, on the other hand, are critical.
 
whats that?
 
The people voting for what (not who) they want.
If all politicians swore to do the will of the people (sounds crazy that they'd do anything else in a "democracy", right?), then it wouldn't matter who won the elections, so they could be unfair, and it'd make no difference to the democratic rule.
 
11:00 AM
You want purely direct and not representative democracy?
 
What I want and what I think about democracy are unrelated.

Q: Count the ways to transform

Wheat WizardA continuous transformation of a square array is a mapping which rearranges the elements of the array such that the neighbors of each element remain the same. For example on the array: \$ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 4 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \$ There are 8 ways to transform it: \$ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 4

 
Is SEDE a little broken for anyone else right now?

has anyone done a study on the effectiveness of bounties to get answers?
 
I don't think anyone has on code-golf.
But my feeling is it has more than zero but still rather little impact.
 
@WheatWizard for code-golf I feel it works because there are few bounties. But on SO there are hundreds at any given time so I wonder if it has any effect at all

if I have a directed graph with weights on the nodes, is there a bijection to another directed graph with weights on the edges?

@Adám I've died in a dream before. Somebody stabbed me in the foot with a pair of scissors and then shot me in the heart. 0_0 Like Redwolf, I immediately woke up.
 
when i die in dreams usually i just hang around like a source game
and get to look around
 
So the difference between dying in a dream and dying IR"L" is whether or not you wake up?

@Adám in real "life"?
 
If you died, it isn't life, right?
 
@Adám hmm
 
4:02 PM
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an expert. I can't recall ever dying, so what do I know‽
 
i remember every time ive died
 
Yeah, the identity element for ∧ is True.
 
I used to remember every time I'd been born. Then I forgot.
 
@Adám I mean, that's a theological question.
As to the wording, you could argue that dying is the last thing you do in life, so it's still "in life" (but being dead isn't)
 
4:06 PM
@DLosc I wouldn't call rebirth or afterlife "waking up".
 
Ridiculous things discussed in TNB #10203: Existentialism and the semantics of death
 
@DLosc Do the white squares touch?
 
@DLosc I've died in a dream before as well, I fell off a cliff and immediately woke up.
 
Darn.
 
I think, I mean that's how I remember it, but then again I don't really remember.
I just remember dying and then waking up.
 
4:08 PM
Maybe you were unconscious from when you died until you woke up…
 
hmm
Somehow, when I close my eyes in a dream, I wake up in real life and it just so happens to be 8:00... this happening during the holidays.
 
Anyway, folks, if I get a chance to it, I'll let y'all know what happened once I've died.
 
thank you adám
 
worst thing that ever happened to me in a dream was i got hit by a nuke like directly

@thejonymyster there is no period in your sentence
 
@thejonymyster óh, whý ýóú stíll dón`t hávé ácénts? ýóú cán préss "´" lol.
 
@mathcat I think he/she meant that you are doomed because you didn't study the period properly.
 
@Fmbalbuena Ada`m
 
ooh
 
4:13 PM
@Fmbalbuena Could use some clarification as to what a regex code is, and the method to convert to unary.
 
@ThisFieldIsRequired I added
 
@ThisFieldIsRequired "The Period" is the first chapter of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I have studied it quite thoroughly, myself. It's a great piece of social satire.
 
Comma, period.
 
@DLosc Uh, that's not the normal word for "awake". The same root is used two verses down and there it is translated as "end [of times]".
 
@Adám Hmm, interesting!
 
4:16 PM
I'd maybe translate it as "be finalised".
 
Any final feedback before I post this? codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/24339/106710
 
@ThisFieldIsRequired wait for at least 3 upvotes probably
 
@Adám So together with context, it's something like "be done [sleeping]"? I think the same verb is used here, here, and here (that last, interestingly, also referring to death).
 
@ThisFieldIsRequired plus i dont think anyone is letting you get away with posting that image lol :P need a computerized graph more likely
 
@thejonymyster Indeed, but I figured I might be able to garner upvotes from here if enough people liked it, or if not enough people liked it, put the challenge on hold for a while
and is the challenge itself clear enough or do I need to clarify some more?
 
4:31 PM
@DLosc Not sure what you mean with the first one. The second one uses both the normal word for waking up and immediately after the root in question "wake, finalise (or maybe make yourselves ready) for my judgement". The third one would actually change meaning a lot if we were to interpret it as "not finalised".
Yeah, the first one does fit nicely with waking up. Although "[nobody] rose" would work too.
 
The scariest dream I’ve had is one while I was half awake. I hadn’t opened my eyes yet, but I could tell I was in bed and I could feel all these hands with iron grips on me. I just couldn’t move for a good 20 seconds, then I woke up
 
Is there a way to find the chat profile of a main user?
 
@user Sleep paralysis?
 
@WheatWizard Search for their name here then follow the link to the main user to confirm.
That is, if they have a chat profile and it matches their name. That may not be the case.
 
Yeah hmm.
I could find one of their posts, invite them to chat, then observe their user. But that's quite disruptive.
 
4:38 PM
You can also search by typing in the "when said by" box at chat.stackexchange.com/search and looking at the autocomplete; I find that search better than the one at /users. Then take their user ID
 
@pxeger Does anybody else have trouble with that autocomplete? Sometimes I start typing and it just spins forever and never gives any results.
 
yes it does do that sometimes, idk why
 
@WheatWizard Which do you like most, Convey or Haskell?
 
but it gives better results IME
 
@Fmbalbuena For what?
 
4:39 PM
@WheatWizard answering CGCC challenges
 
Probably Haskell.
 
@taRadvylfsriksushilani I guess? It’s never happened before or since though
 
@Fmbalbuena "3 steps" does not include the start and end, right?
 
you get an email from your coworker:
"Please see attached."
attached is a copy of the same email
 
@ThisFieldIsRequired yes

This is soooo weird...my school district's wifi just randomly disconnects SOCK² after some time
No idea how it even knows it's a proxy, or if it does at all

@taRadvylfsriksushilani I would doubt it would. Either the WiFi simply drops out sometimes, or it just periodically terminates long running connections

@pxeger Thing is, there's no long running connections in the first place. It starts a new one for every connection, like normal.
 
And normal websockets haven't had any issues
 
@taRadvylfsriksushilani what do you mean by "disconnects SOCK2" then?
 
All of the connections just...stop working
It'll send the SOCKS5 header over the WS, get a response, and then do nothing
 
and then how does it fix itself, or how do you fix it?
 
4:50 PM
I just switch back to un-proxied wifi, wait a bit, then start it up again on my end
 
BTW have you tried Chisel? It sounds like it can do more or less what SOCK² does
