Q: Is it an option for the ls utility specified in POSIX.1-2017?

鳴神裁四点一号The ls utility lists specified directory content. It is infamous for stupidly lots of options which is known for anti-pattern design of implementing software (citation needed). Given an alphanumeric character, decide whether the character is an option for the ls utility defined in POSIX.1-2017. F...

Also this one's funny if you don't think about it too hard
Maybe they've designed a better Prius

There's never been a less exciting time to be an incumbent :p

doesn't seem to want to let me track my progress towards generalist either

@mousetail No not binface
Maybe the Rejoin EU party, but I’m not too sure
@TwilightSparkle Don’t get me started on Reform UK and some of the other parties
06:49
@TheEmptyStringPhotographer What do you have against binface? Don't tell me you support hexface or octface

Q: Is "local compactification" a separate notion?

Dannyu NDosFor consider the forgetful functors $\mathsf{f} : \mathbf{CHaus} \to \mathbf{LCHaus}$ and $\mathsf{g} : \mathbf{LCHaus} \to \mathbf{T_{3½}}$, where $\mathbf{T_{3½}}$ is the category of completely regular spaces and continuous functions. The composed functor $\mathsf{g} \circ \mathsf{f} : \mathbf{...

Help!

AYO WTF
AP scores are out
I somehow got a 4 on Physics C E&M?!?!?!?
Y'know, the one I went into the test with zero knowlegde of, and skipped every free response question on???
And a 5 on Microeconomics? Who tf tripping balls over at colleghe board??? I didn't take or study for that class either

My AP scores this year are...definitely something. I got a higher score on micro than macro, but I took macro, not micro. But either way, I got high enough scores on every relevant test to get credit, except for physics E&M, which I would retake anyway because I literally didn't take that class or study more than a third of the content. So I'm happy. And confused as fuck, but we take those.
I guess now I can finally start planning my college classes, since I know I can skip the data science/statistics gen ed requirement, plus some other introductory classes, and econ (even though I don't actually know most of econ, but that's good. I can still keep some of my purity)
@emanresuA Took me a second to get this lol
(spoiler for those who don't get it)

...y'all know that book of 1 million random numbers they used to use when computers weren't a convenient source of RNG?
The reviews are hilarious
yeah well the recommendations for other products are even better
@RydwolfPrograms The publisher's name is a coincidence, right?
Sadly, unless maybe that's how they got their start
People should just use reddit instead of buying the first book
09:49
Why would you buy it when you can download it for free?
You wouldn't download an Archie McPhee Yodeling Pickle
Heh, it has an Errata. Luckliy, none of the actual random digits are wrong.

I'm more interested in the second. Is the cat the gun owner in this situation? Or someone like a child who you're trying to dissuade from playing with a gun you have in the house? Or is the cat more interested in it as a political issue? Or is the cat the one asking questions, wanting to make sure you're safe, and you're only having the discussion begrudgingly?

There's nothing more fun than playing with devtools on the college board "view scores" page

Why is it that I often cannot open images from chat? The above i.sstatic.net/cW9hY3Og.png works fine, but this i.sstatic.net/feG0nL6.png gives me an upside down cat and "oh no, that request didn't look right/RayID: 89ff3fc45b13abda"
The href gets set incorrectly on the link surrounding the image. Someone here did some reverse engineering recently (may have been Unrelated? idr), turns out chat strips the last character of the URL if it's one of a few size modifier characters like s or m, and with the new hosting, those work differently
can repro here
Did someone log this?
You can still open the image, you just have to right click it and open the image address itself, rather than the link address
@Adám I assumed so but maybe this is a diffusion of responsibility situation

Q: Chat truncates regular imgur links when they end in 's', 'm', 'l', 'h', ...

badpI have ShareX installed and configured to upload screenshots to Imgur (not Stack Imgur, for perhaps obvious reasons; just Imgur). Chat likes to mangle those links by cutting the image hash part short. For example this image URL: http://i.imgur.com/7zct02s.png Gets rendered like so: <a rel="nofollow

Q: Some images uploaded in chat cannot be visited via the link

VLAZThis is an intermittent failure and I cannot find a good way to reliably reproduce it. Some times when uploading an image in chat it shows up but the link leads to a page that says "oh no, that request didn't look right". Here is an example of such a message - the image embeds and shows up, but c...

mfw there's two headphone buttons and not one multipurpose one like I thought
and the button that isn't the power button but the one that actually does the useful stuff (play/pause/forward/rewind) is less convenient to reach than the power button
okay it's redeemed itself with its immersion mode which is actually really good
kinda wish the touch strip could do more than just volume/cycle through immersion modes
you're touching on a massive pet peeve of mine
sony's noise cancelling headphones change microphone settings depending on the noise cancelling mode using
hopefully bose is a bit better than that then
haven't had a chance to use the mic for anything yet
nowadays i'm confined to using earbuds because i wear a helmet
actually i kinda miss my crappy xiaomi 'smart'watch, at least i could take calls and whatnot with it
what happened to it?
silicone wristband broke
because of course it did
while it lasted it gave me a fantastic story though
14:43
which model?
i applied to work at a place, they never contacted me. through a recruiting agency i end up working at that same place. one day i'm going to work and my phone rings, i answer with the watch while i'm riding and it's the company's HR asking me if i'm still looking for work.
i tell her no, i'm actually going to work right now, at precisely your office. see you in 5 minutes
savage :p
@lyxal dunno right now. i bought it in a physical store so no email to look for
it's a mi band from like 2018-19 i'd say
tbh the battery is probably cooked, it's been sitting uncharged in a box for several years
nowadays i'm rocking an e-paper watchy, but the board has a design issue where BLE cannot work reliably
i hear it's fixed in the newer model but f that noise, and i'm managing to squeeze out 2 weeks on a single charge so i'm not going to try to do regular bluetooth on it
I respect the e-paper vibe
it'd be great with gadgetbridge if BLE worked
and it's open source everything so there's plenty of community watchfaces and whatnot a la pebble
watchy.sqfmi.com not an ad i just like their products
14:55
looks a bit square though
which I migrated away from when I switched from the Oppo watch to the galaxy series
nice circular galaxy 6 classic with the spinny bezel
gotta be the best part

Q: Keyboard Ping Pong

(Letters alternating between sides of the keyboard) Use any established Latin-script keyboard layout that you would li...

@Ginger Oh no! That's really sad about Razetime.
As lyxal alluded to in the meta tribute post, Razetime did most of the work on converting the Pip docs from a bunch of markdown files to a searchable GitHub pages site.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Bbrk24Automatic Pikmin Count Inspired by the feature in Pikmin 4. In Pikmin 4, you can have up to eight types of pikmin in an onion and up to three types of pikmin outside the onion. Each area recommends three types of pikmin to bring. The onion's interface has an "auto" button which selects pikmin in ...

@TwilightSparkle For help with any esolang, including GolfScript, you can also try asking in The Tarpit. There's still no guarantee you'll get an answer, but 1) that room attracts people who are interested specifically in esolangs, which means they're more likely to know or be willing to learn one, and 2) it gets less traffic, so your question is less likely to be drowned out by other conversation.
20:27
@Bbrk24 does that really give an exact sum?
I sum 10 float64s which are between 1 and 2 in absolute value. Assuming the true sum is not 0 , what is the largest possible value of abs(computed value - true value)/true value?
That is the largest possible relative error?

Q: Largest possible relative error

SimdInput \$n \geq 3\$ Output \$n\$ float64s with absolute value between 1 and 2 whose sum has the largest possible relative error. We can assume the true sum is not zero. The sum is to be be computed from left to right in a loop in the obvious fashion. The relative error is abs(true sum - computed s...
