Unless that's just a userscript feature.
Don't think userscripts can change how things are parsed, right?
And chat doesn't do HTML
@forest problem with that library is that you'll keep finding child processes getting terminated for the wrong reason
oh ouch
autocrat() handles that by ensuring that only a certain group of privileged processes get access to the library
Maybe if the kernel wasn't so slow at responding to errant signals...
00:27
@Neil That's only because the implementation doesn't meet the specs
Malicious processes are given access to things they shouldn't have had access to
:think: poorly disguised political discourse :P
If the discussion goes any further we should probably move to TNH
I think this dialogue needs to be cleaned up and turned into a Kolgomorov complexity challenge! It'd be funny, at least.
00:45
There's no link to TNH in the TNB description
@Pyautogui I don’t think there’s enough repetition in there for someone to compress it much but you could try putting it in the sandbox and tweaking it all the same
Want me to unfreeze it?
Yeah I'll unfreeze it.
is IIV a way to express 3 in roman numerals?
if I had to express 89 in 3 characters should I go with IXC or XIC?
as in (c-x-i) or (c-(x+i))
I think that'd be more of an extension of roman numerals rather than roman numerals themselves
01:16
@RadvylfPrograms is it supposed to be IXC or XIC? or something else?
i mean yah i searched that
i wonder if ixc or xic is valid]
1 2 2 50
just like iiv is valid just not quite used
@thejonymyster wait what
that's some cursed flags...

@Emanyalpsid There's no "valid" or "invalid", just depends on what interpretation of roman numerals you're using. A really vanilla one would only accept the "correct" encoding of each numbers, and various natural extensions of that would allow IXC or XIC (but probably not both)
I don't think there's any canonical roman numeral parsing rules
As evidenced by the IIII on clocks, and the fact that things like IIV don't create any ambiguity
01:21
What, so IIIIIV would be a valid representation of 0?
ok
@forest yes
even
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC
> There's no "valid" or "invalid", just depends on what interpretation of roman numerals you're using.
but it couldn't be ambiguous/it must have been 0
Would someone mind asserting that two d20s labelled with 1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15,16 and 1,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,22,24 have the same roll distribution as two regular d20s?
IIIIV would be really unconventional, but whether it's "valid" is determined only by how much you generalize the vanilla roman numerals
@emanresuA I don't think they do
Just taking the sums and comparing to a d20's sum should work, right?
I get 170 for the first and 210 for the range 1 to 20
@RadvylfPrograms yeah that's how I tested it
take all 400 possible outcomes and see if the lists are permutations of each other
Ohh wait I misread that
I was comparing them individually against single d20s
Thanks! Messing around with alternate dice right now
170 + 250 is 420, and the sum of a normal d20 is 210, so yeah
01:26
That doesn't necessarily work
Although I just realized this method doesn't actually check if the distribution is the same
Just the average roll
yeah
Hm... the algorithm is only producing a single set of dice, which is probably my fault
Now that math.SE exists, these companies are useless
We've got an infinite supply of free flags apparently
french.SE too lol
Really? I only see russian.SO flags
01:47
haha
Hm... interestingly, there seems to be only a single set of alternate dice for any pair of regular dice...
@emanresuA why
program/math?
And only when the side count is even and not a power of 2
else none?
@emanresuA ?
@emanresuA why
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
01:52
@emanresuA where's the program...
And they seem to share the same prefix - One is 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 etc but it'll jump in the middle, the other starts with odd numbers, then counts up normally, then ends with only even numbers
found it by hand or with program
i think hand?
@emanresuA .
Programmatically with polynomial algebra
@emanresuA ...... good
so by hand
... no
01:57
wait
i'm confused
how

why

can you share it

Oh and I changed my name, I like that pun
@emanresuA so if you feed [[[1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15,16],[1,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,22,24]]] into it it should return two d20s?
good, changed my profile
@emanresuA how's pluto?

@emanresuB Doorknob created the Sandbox account I believe
The Sandbox account gain the 5 reputation from 2 edits here and here
I want to make doorknob look how many notifications there are
what happened to the rep by upvotes?
you need 4 rep to participate in meta
*5
so with 1 reputation you need for more
*need 4 more
an approve suggest edit gives you 2
So I guess Doorknob don't want to golf that day
@SandboxPosts also I think you should paraphrase your challenge
@justANewbstandswithUkraine um how
06:47
Adding a twist is usually a thing to avoid
what about now
Sometimes an algorithm made by SE will place underappreciated posts on to the recently active page
It's to avoid questions going stale

although robbers' answers would just consist of proofs

cross out which, i mean what
is the idea
You'll see

when i share link of ans or q why ncludes your user id

I'm going to do something radical tonight and actually work on my blog post

thnx
It's not done yet so there is no link lol
oh ok
i'd like to see it, is it ok if i ask what's it about or sth?

Russ GSomeone should just post "Replicate CodeGolf" as a challenge and we'll end up with the most efficiently coded online community in the history of the internet.

@lyxal 36 minutes later and I still haven't started because I got distracted watching TedEd videos
procrastination 😎
11:43
@lyxal which
which teded vid
*vids
just a bunch of stuff from my recommended list
ssssssssssssssssss
@lyxal do you watch riddles or pschylogy
holy shit
as you can see, both.
11:44
i watched 4 of them this morning

watched 1 before today
and saw one on recommended.
o/ gotta go
@lyxal .
12:19
@lyxal advice: break it down or only publish the main points
o/
The thing though is that I'm intentionally going for long - esolang popularity isn't something that can be easily conveyed in a few paragraphs
if it was, I wouldn't need to be writing a blog post :p
does printable ascii include newline? I can't actually find a clear answer :o
@lyxal esolang popularity golf?
Esolang popularity is something that needs to be comprehensively explained imo
of course lol i was just being silly :P hype for the blog post :D
12:40
I knew you were kidding around, I just thought I'd clarify why it's gonna be so gosh dang long lol
> hype for the blog post :D
gosh dang it
that's like the opposite of what I'm currently writing about
oh umm
soo not interested in the blog post
really hope you take your time with this one
I will be
I am :D
therefore i think, i think
@thejonymyster no lol I meant I just finished a paragraph on why there shouldn't be hype for a big reveal and that it should instead be a journey people take with you
and yet here I am, treating the post like a big reveal
ahh nah dont think of it like that
12:43
I'll post a progress update in the blog room soon lol
I am therefore I am - Tautology Club motto
we're just really excited for more writing here
@thejonymyster all I'm saying is that there's a little bit of irony lol
oh for sure :P
gotta keep a nine iron in the golf bag /cheesy
sorry i live for jokes
we all do
hell, I live for jokes in places that otherwise wouldn't have jokes

we found jokes in a jokeless plaaace

Easy solution someone upvote it and someone else downvote so the asker gets a rep increase but the score doesn't change :P (disclaimer yes I am joking please don't do this)
most people probably wouldn't make a joke from that message
yet

@HyperNeutrino no, you're not JoKing.
hence, jokes from otherwise jokeless sources

12:55
i keep forgetting the acronyms... i thought that was "let's get this money"
ಠ_ಠ
which i did read as equally positive as the correct "looks good to me" so theres that
@WheatWizard typo in round harmony section,
"At it's simplest under [round] harmony if [-high] vowel"
should be *a [-high] vowel
and might i suggest a comma after "simplest" :P
ignore the comma thing i dont actually know where it goes
other than that seems good to me as well
Alright nice.
i get the impression that this isn't simplified at all, which is surprising for a natural language based question
Oh no it's simplified.
13:01
:P oh what a fool i was
There are disharmonic words.
Oh I should include a link to the paper.
ah yea please do, i love when theres an option to read more :]
side note: ive only seen it on this site, but i kind of love it when people use ascii symbols to represent symbols that dont appear in ascii from other languages
aesthetically its just fun to me
like omg that word has a 3 in it? not really but it looks close enough so i used a 3

13:49
@lyxal the problem is, people can see this post, scan it, say wtf this is way too long i have stuff to do and quit reading it
well if you dont have time to read a blog, then a blog is not for you :P
And the idea is that this one will be a sort of go-to reference for future esolang designers, meaning it needs to be detailed enough to stand the test of time
well now im really hyped
no pressure :P
