As per when I asked about when The Sand Trap should be frozen, and when Ginger suggested Sunday, and when there was agreement with Ginger's suggestion,
normal TNB chat rules still apply, obviously, but for general programming things, general life things, general funny things or things you want to share with people here, do it
Edit: The Sand Trap is now frozen.
To quote myself:

In 2022, in relation to concerns abou...
Input part of staff, output its midi.
Symbols:
0-9: octave symbol. Set O = the value.
CDEFGAB: a note.
If octave is just set, then use the octave.
Otherwise, if the distance to last note is larger than 5 (C-A, D-B or C-B),
Increase O by 1 if the new note is C or D; decrease if A or B...
The game is played on a 1x8 board with the following setup:
KNR..rnk
White's pieces are on the left, while black's pieces are on the right.
The king (K) can move 1 space in any direction.
The knight (N) can jump 2 spaces in any direction, regardless of bordering pieces.
The rook (R) can move any...
@lyxal Just to clarify, how much of the stuff we did in TST is allowed here? I know you mentioned general life things and general funny things but we did streams of consciousness in TST sometimes and I assume those aren't allowed anymore
oh yeah reminds me a while back i tried apl golf on kattis but the one problem i picked, i immediately passed all of the public test cases but then it just failed halfway through the hidden ones 🙃
@user here's my general idea: if you've got something you want to share with people here, and you feel it's something people might want to reply to and have a few back and forths about, it's fine within reason
So I would say streams of consciousness that could branch into conversation (even if it's only 2 or so more messages afterwards) are fair game. But make sure that you're not overdoing it. Supply and demand exists after all
Like posting some random thought you want to see how people will react to: I think that's fine
An hour by hour update of all the people you throw eggs at: while I might agree with your actions, even I would consider such messages noise
And I would direct you to make a new room in that case purely for status updates on egged people
But don't be afraid to post things just because you don't know if it's allowed. If it's something you think you really want to send here, worst case scenario is that it gets moved into its own room, or the trash room
That's really the only "penalty" (assuming you're not spamming things, posting actual gibberish, breaking TOC etc)
Speaking of the bakery I should go make sure it's unfrozen
@mathscat It's not a huge update, but there are some new toys that I've already been able to use, and a couple small but important bugfixes. Release notes here
well, one thing, which I've been working on for the past three weeks
ever heard of ComputerCraft? it's a Minecraft mod that adds programmable computers to the game that run Lua
and I'm making effectively SSH for them
you run a program on the computer, SSH into a specific user on my server, and get a terminal on the computer that you can use as if you were in MC
it's powered by about a thousand lines of Kotlin and 600 or so lines of TypeScript (yes, TypeScript; it's compiled to Lua using the fabulous TypeScriptToLua project)
Edit: The Sand Trap is now frozen.
