...is that even any language?
ah, its indonesian
something about a slot game
I'm thinking move it once it gets deleted
00:47
indonesian gambling spam is back? long time no see
Is it Bahasa Indonesia or Javanese?
01:09
my bet's on bahasa
Wow there are a lot more options and a lot more ways to screw up now when moving stuff
besides The Heap Consultancy?
a) the move messages button is right below the delete room button, b) the relocate button is right next to the delete message button and c) entering a room name that doesn't exist will apparently create a new room
Things that previously weren't things I had to worry about :p
@lyxal c is awesome
01:26
Maybe, but I think option c also parents the room to PLD which is extra goofy because it's moving code golf spam to a different site
not that you havent done that already :P
That wasn't me
That was rydwolf

@lyxal Imagine trying to move some spam around and you accidentally delete the entire TNB
03:16
Ooh, just got my 5th Reviewer badge
Still only halfway to a Steward one tho (for First Answers)
@Bbrk24 lucky for me deleting a room just hides it from everyone with less than 10k rep :p
10k network wide
Dang

With ability to inject any CSS, anything to do other than cover whole page?
Font Roulette

restyle websites to make them more usable

increase contrast to make it more readable

can't rewrite <style>, only style:"" of my elements

@l4m2 make it look like the website was hacked
It only really effects yourself though so what is the point
09:41
What even is the point of that

Why does latin-1 include Ð which is only used in dead languages?
Any natural language encoding use 0x00-0x08 0x0e-0x1f to mean characters?
It's not ASCII-compatible but at least JIS doesn't (\` => ¥`)

11:39
@mousetail I believe that was an old english letter
@mousetail looks at you a joke said emphatically
@PlaceReporter99 "Only used in dead languages"
English is dead
@l4m2 then why are you speaking it?
*typing
@PlaceReporter99 так что давайте говорить по-русски
12:04
Any language is called "this language" and other languages call it as the sound of its "this language"?
Modern english does not use Ð, old english is dead
12:24
Read C++ as C half sharp
12:35
@mousetail probably used in the international phonetic alphabet
13:01
@PlaceReporter99 Source?
@mousetail a guess from my brain
That's not a very good source
The lower case version in IPA but not Ð
@mousetail then maybe it’s for historical reasons.
Please just answer the question if you know, conjectures are useless unless you have a good argument for them

Jacob CreutzfeldtContinuously Count Consecutive Cases Background Imagine that I'm creating a really long necklace, consisting of only two characters, A and B. You must count the number of occurrences of the substring AB in the string. However, since it's a necklace, you must also consider if the last character an...

@mousetail Icelandic???
Icelandic still uses thorn and edh
Faroese too
Also, the capital version of ɖ (which is used in some African languages iirc) looks the same as capital edh but has a different codepoint
Same with ɗ actually
14:33
@Bbrk24 How did 0.005% of the world population get to pick 0.5% of the letters?
should i learn OCaml?
If you want to, yes
What are you hoping to accomplish?
i don't know it just seems cool
Seems a good enough reason
i want to learn more about functional programming i guess
14:43
Is Haskell too much?
OCaml is loosely functional, don't think it's really the best introduction to that
If you want functional maybe Elixir would be a better choice?
@mousetail Latin-1 is very Eurocentric, is it not? And even within Europe I think there is some bias, since I don't think Latin-1 includes letters like Serbo-Croatian đ or Czech ď,ň,ť
Exactly, those would be better choices to use that code point. Much more speakers than icelandic
May I repeat that Latin-1 is very much geared towards western europe
(On a completely different note is my dream is to someday move to Iceland)
14:51
Poor Ÿ :(
okay yeah why the heck is that letter in Latin-1? What languages even use it?
> It occurs in French as a variant of ⟨ï⟩ in a few proper nouns, as in the name of the Parisian suburb of L'Haÿ-les-Roses [la.i le ʁoz] and in the surname of the house of Croÿ [kʁu.i].
French
And not-so-poor ẞ :p
@mousetail because 20% don't even use letters, and those tiny percent invented computing pretty much
Basically what I'm getting at is iceland has a tiny population, even for a european country
That doesn't mean they were the ones that chose
14:58
And didn't really contribute significantly to computing at that point
if I were designing Latin-1 I'd include other languages with a similar alphabet
Why not include ŐőŰű to at least cover hungarian, which has 10 times the population
Maybe the issue is not what characters latin-1 choose to include but rather windows choosing to make it the default encoding everywhere
And as for Vietnamese...
15:24
@mousetail It's good for SBCSs at least :p

I need help (dis)?proving that given 0 < t < lcm(a,b), the following holds:
`0 <= t%a*b + t%b*a - t*gcd(a,b) < a*b`
I'm trying to make sure the formula used [here](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/262883/112488) holds
how did I mess up the md?
No markdown in multiline messages, for some reason

good to know
@c-- Isn't a=5, b=7, t=4 a counterexample?
c--

let me check
15:35
Might've done the math wrong but I get 44, which is more than a*b=35

then I messed up my derivation, because the formula works fine
nvm
it doesn't

no wonder I was having trouble proving it

Thanks SE, couldn'ta done it without you
@NewPosts Looks answerable as , i see some integers in there...

@Simd APL, 15: ⊃' '~⍨⊢/⊣¨⌸∊∪¨⎕ Try it online!
@Adám cool. How does it work?
Maybe it should be a challenge on main?
15 is quite long :)
I have a feeling it can be made shorter.
19:54
@Simd Python: lambda x:max((y:=''.join(map(''.join,map(set,x)))),key=y.count)
20:27
@mousetail oh that's cool. Is it really the shortest??
@mousetail actually I am not sure it does the right thing
