Fun fact, at one point I had more gold badges on Movies & TV, because I have 6 famous question badges there, but only 3k rep

mousetail

Ok other flags that could be interesting include: Chile, United Kingdom, and Greenland,

@mousetail 275 more days and I get a gold badge :P

@emanresuA X - doubt

Ginger

@emanresuA 🤨

caird coinheringaahing

@mousetail Yes, but actually no: UK's been done, and flag challenges are boring

Ginger

20:03

~~but profitable~~

mathcat

^

caird coinheringaahing

I actually doxxed myself posting a crappy flag challenge years ago :P

Ginger

whoopsies

Radvylf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing Did you post a IRL photo of it or something?

caird coinheringaahing

No, it was "I live in <city>, draw it's flag"

Ginger

20:07

lmao

caird coinheringaahing

Not quite exact-address doxxing, but enough to be stupid :P

Then again, I have told people what uni I'm studying at, and what I'm studying, in TNB, and have met multiple people IRL from the site, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mathcat

@cairdcoinheringaahing I'm sorry what

Ginger

@cairdcoinheringaahing WHAT

caird coinheringaahing

I've said, in TNB, what uni I go to

Ginger

no not that

mathcat

20:09

(I'm especially surprised about the latter)

Ginger

the part where you have met people from CGCC/TNB IRL

caird coinheringaahing

Oh, I was introduced to the site by an IRL friend of mine, and I've met both Adám and pxeger IRL

Ginger

when?

mousetail

Greenland is interesting though, since you need to draw the inverted circle

caird coinheringaahing

@Ginger Must have been a couple of years ago

I have also joined a couple of lyxal's uni classes, and there was a possibility I'd do a year abroad in the same city as hyper

mousetail

20:13

When talking with other golfers IRL, do you also keep your sentences as short as possible?

7

Ginger

LMAO

caird coinheringaahing

Yes

Radvylf Programs

We should do an official CGCC North America meetup at some point. Some place with minigolf :p

mousetail

Europe has minigolf, you should do it there

Radvylf Programs

Well we'd probably have to do them contintent-by-continent

Ginger

20:16

everybody gets on a Zoom call and plays Wii Sports

Radvylf Programs

Just golf and bowling tho, and a bit of shuffleboard

emanresu A

I guess I'd be going to Australia

mousetail

@Ginger That's what I imagine hell to be like

Seggan

@RadvylfPrograms hmm depends how far :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing you live in australia?

Ginger

@mousetail ;-;

Radvylf Programs

20:17

We should get a sponsor who buys us all plane tickets

caird coinheringaahing

@Seggan I do not

mousetail

Dyalog?

Ginger

@RadvylfPrograms ~~Dyalog~~

Radvylf Programs

@Seggan They were virtual uni classes :p

emanresu A

We joined some of Lyxal's zoom uni classes

It was chaos

caird coinheringaahing

20:17

It was very fun :P

mathcat

loool

Ginger

I recall that

Seggan

@RadvylfPrograms mmm

Ginger

I also recall being annoyed it happened while I was asleep

Radvylf Programs

Same

emanresu A

20:18

We loved ourselves some Daniel

Ginger

do you have recordings by any chance? q:

caird coinheringaahing

I think I actually revealed my full name(s) during those, because my zoom account has it

@Ginger It was 4am for me, and I was drunk most of the time :P

mousetail

Actually, we should sell CGSE merch to pay for tickets, like Redvylf suggested earlier

Ginger

@cairdcoinheringaahing are you known by many names? d:

caird coinheringaahing

Literally check my profile :P

Ginger

20:18

oh right lol

sorry!

caird coinheringaahing

I go by a minimum of 2 different names, and have gone by around 6-8 names throughout my life

mousetail

Except "golfing" shirts means using the minimun amount of materials so they are just 2 threads tied together

emanresu A

You've shared screenshots of your phone with <human>'s iPhone

Adám

@mousetail @Ginger Y'all just need to win the grand prize in the APL Problem Solving Competition, and we'll meet up in the town where I live. (Grand prize includes a ticket here.)

5

caird coinheringaahing

@emanresuA Who?

emanresu A

20:19

You

mathcat

Lemme grind APL quik

Ginger

@Adám ~~problem: I'm a distributed hivemind but there's only one ticket available~~

caird coinheringaahing

My phone is named "Jay's iPhone", so that's not much doxxing :P

Ginger

@cairdcoinheringaahing ~~so do you have like a UUID I can refer to you by or~~

mathcat

caird lore time!

mousetail

20:21

What's your public PGP key?

caird coinheringaahing

@Ginger Yeah, 1

I am the first UUID

Ginger

that's not a valid UUID4

Adám

@Ginger Surely we can't discriminate against hiveminders.

emanresu A

My UUID is 0

Ginger

@cairdcoinheringaahing I mean you're CGSE user #66833

caird coinheringaahing

20:22

@mathcat Most info you could want to know about me is in my profiles :P

Ginger

@Adám exactly :p

caird coinheringaahing

@Ginger No, I'm actually the first CGCC user, they just gave me that id because it's my favourite number :P

Ginger

I knew it, all this time you were just Dennis in disguise!

mousetail

Update python on TIO then please

caird coinheringaahing

I am not Dennis, I'm sad to say

You can know that, because I've been outgolfed in Jelly before

Ginger

20:25

fair enough

caird coinheringaahing

I have realised tho that you could probably find me on various social media from my username, which tells you a lot about me

mathcat

@Adám That actually looks interesting

Seggan

can someone please tell me why JS doesn't have a simple Array#remove(obj)?

caird coinheringaahing

Because JS is cursed

Adám

@mathcat I'll be happy to assist with getting your APL skills honed.

Seggan

20:28

~~however, i plan to win~~

mathcat

I'm going to give it a try :P

Radvylf Programs

@Seggan Because you can just do .splice(index, 1)

caird coinheringaahing

The trick is write it in Jelly first, then stick it through ChatGPT to translate it into APL

Radvylf Programs

JS doesn't really do array methods

Seggan

@RadvylfPrograms yes buts its so annoying to constantly do indexOf

user

20:33

Then make your own helper

Adám

Really should continue my side project of amending JS's Array (and other type) prototype with APLish methods.

user

Or use a better data structure

Seggan

like?

user

Well idk what your use case is

@Adám idk if you've seen this already but Lodash has some useful stuff

Doesn't get anywhere near what APL provides but it's probably enough for most stuff

@Seggan If you just want to keep track of a set of objects, maybe Set?

Adám

@user I don't like the syntax.

I want myArray.without(theseElements)

Seggan

20:36

@user i need order + dups

its a hand of cards

user

Ah

Seggan

20:46

so i found out why my client and server's hands were desyncing for my card game

the client was dropping a card on itself

Radvylf Programs

Wdym "on itself"?

Like instead of to a discard pile?

Seggan

@RadvylfPrograms literally on itself

Radvylf Programs

Like you're doing a physics sim of the cards?

Seggan

as in the card is somehow intersecting itself and therefore dropping on itself

mathcat

20:50

@RadvylfPrograms ooh did that once

It was a blender simulation, don't judge me okay

Seggan

@RadvylfPrograms nah drag/drop

basically the card was set as draggable and as a drop target at the same time

so when i dropped it, the lib thought that i dropped it on itself

user

21:06

Imagine not using a library to handle everything for you

caird coinheringaahing

Average Python coder

mathcat

burn

pxeger

says you?

Seggan

@user who said its handling everything?

mathcat

@Seggan Let me guess, ~~p5js~~?

Seggan

21:10

makes buzzer noise

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurm

mathcat

I wish more people would use p5js :/

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Is that not, like, the only reason to use Python or JS? The sheer number of libraries? :P

Seggan

@mathcat idk whats that. im using phaser

mathcat

It definitely has a cool name

user

@mathcat Dunno what that is but their website bugs me, they don't seem to have enough padding at the bottom so you can't see the bottom of their logo

Oh wait it's even more cursed, the logo stays in place and the page reveals it once you scroll far enough

mathcat

21:12

They probably just wanted to flex their CSS abilities.

user

That's literally impossible (if they mean their community actually includes every single group out there)

mathcat

@Seggan seems quite interesting

Seggan

yeah its waaaay more game oriented then p5js

user

@mathcat It's also important to make sure your CSS works. Guess they thought it was !important though :P

Seggan

kinda like pygame

opinions?

user

21:16

Could be interesting, although not all non-text answers are equally cool

caird coinheringaahing

smh, I'm so bad at participating in this site, I haven't earned a single badge this year ಠ_ಠ

Seggan

21:34

Perhaps some solid rocket boosters could be an alternative solution :D — MaplePanda yesterday

kerbals identified 👀

Ginger

so it turns out that the reason my Jetson Nano order got screwed up seems to have been that I beat somebody else to the order by a matter of seconds

Bubbler

23:02

My hate list is pretty short but a bit funny

user

What small dark corners of Rust do you hate?

Bubbler

I don't know what 2021 me thought of Rust :P

Seggan

23:34

I hate Python

lyxal

Birds are what my list contains
