@Ginger Ceylon!

Oh it's dead

Okay who tf decided to make ctrl+enter run the function you're currently writing in VS Code for Python...what if you were analyzing malicious code or something?

I mean I know there's the "trust the authors of this file?" thing but that should not be the only thing keeping you safe

emanresu A

That... kinda is meant to be the only thing keeping you safe

(or, not the only thing, but extensions and similar run under the assumption that you trust the code you're writing)

Rydwolf Programs

I mean, even if the code I'm writing isn't actively malicious it can still have unintended very bad consequences if run unintentionally

Say I'm writing filesystem code for an operating system or something

emanresu A

I guess :p

@lyxal What do you think about dropping (heh heh) one or two of the pinned messages now? It'd be nice to see the starboard again. :P

lyxal

03:24

@DLosc how's that?

DLosc

@lyxal Beautiful

Unrelated String

04:01

new starboard space just dropped

@RydwolfPrograms i was about to argue this is a necessary convenience that far outweighs any security risks, until i realized you said it's by FUNCTION

that is terrifying

and doesn't even seem that useful?

DLosc

Reminds me of how in SQL Server Management Studio, F5 (I think) will run your query, unless you have part of the query selected, in which case it will run the selected text.

I've seen a coworker do it on purpose, so I guess it's useful, but it always trips me up.

"What do you mean, syntax error? I just ran this exact query a second ag--- ohhhh."

lyxal

04:24

@RydwolfPrograms it's not even per function

it's per line of code

countless times I've been mid line, hit ctrl+enter accidentally and had to wait for the output box to report the obvious syntax error

Oh man they're not even letting average users use the Overflow AI? It's just for Enterprise users?

StackOverflow have to be having a laugh

lyxal

well it's for teams

so average users won't be using it anyway

ATaco

I maintain my outrage.

@lyxal As soon as I discovered that keybind I disabled it

**CMC** Given CONCAT(a+b,a-b,a*b), output (a,b). You can assume a solution exist.
**CMQ** Is it possible to multi solution?

Adám

@l4m2 No, since a will always be the average of the first two.

l4m2

@Adám But you don't know how many digits a+b is

Adám

Oh, you're concatenating the digits, not the values!

l4m2

So 5119560 is a valid input

Good morning!

Anyone used gpt 4o?

@l4m2 Yes: (19, 0) and (10, 9) both produce 19190 (found by a quick brute-force search).

What if both a and b are nonzero? This outputs nothing
A={};for(i=1;i<1000;++i)for(j=1;j<=i;++j)if(x=[i+j]+[i-j]+[i*j],(A[x]=-~A[x])==2)console.log(i,j)

@user sadly

looks nice, with just a bit more modern syntax and popularity id use it

@mousetail c89 disables for loop initial declarations, // style comments (not that are very useful for golfing), and I think some other things that are supported only in newer standards

Has anyone found other solutions to restore the old behaviour in GCC 14? passing a bunch of flags like --warn-no-implicit-int is a bit of a pita

mousetail

13:44

@matteo_c -f permissive might also work

Q: Decode Caesar cipher based on a given text

Decode Caesar cipher based on a given text I can't think of a better name. This is similar to this challenge, but a lot easier. Read three strings which contain only uppercase letters. The length of the first and second strings are the same. The second string and the third string are encrypted us...

CMP: suppose there is an infinite universe where, say, every light year everything repeats. All matter, all events, everything repeats. Can you call this universe infinite?

I say no because it is equivalent to a closed universe

emanresu A

20:19

It's just toroidal

Unrelated String

and toroidal geometry is a simpler explanation than "everything repeats" because you don't need a mechanism for how quantum randomness repeats

Here's my proposal for what happens at the edge of the universe

@UnrelatedString "I live on a giant space donut"

@Seggan Mathematicians don't say a space is infinite. The rigorous notion for that is compactness.

A: Cloudflare protection is triggering on Stack Overflow authentication API routes

Sorry it took a while to get to me and then hunt down the issue but it should now be resolved. Part of the issue is that the managed challenge from Cloudflare was intermittent, making tracking down the root issue difficult.
