because we are not studying the point of Damascus
wow thanks chat
gotta be the worst utc midnight I've seen
refresh the page once, doesn't show I sent anything, refresh it again, double send
Naturally
@lyxal LMAO
Twilio sending marketing material like I'm gonna wanna use them after they rejected my account twice
two different accounts, both blocked from using the email sending service
00:17
I had to see this
now you have to as well
ඞtainable engineering be like that
00:35
@UnrelatedString Oh yeah, and I still hated shaving it for years because it took so much time and effort, but when I got a new razor that actually worked for my face and discovered that it's possible to at least shave close enough not to feel the stubble even if I can see it, I got downright addicted to it
This picture goes incredibly hard
feel free to screenshot
This is a real image used in a real university lecture
has science engineering gone too far?
00:58
@lyxal I do not like this image
This is what thousands of dollars of student debt gets you
01:43
@UnrelatedString lol this sounds extremely familiar :p congrats though i'm happy for you that you've figured that out :3
@cairdcoinheringaahing lmao same, even ignoring the fact that i'm basically never home alone i'd feel icky about that so i ended up just going to a nearby thrift store after some convincing from my gf :p
(i'm aware i'm very late to the convo shhh i won't reply too many times)
Better late than never :P
Did not suspect you had a GF but I'm so happy to hear she's been supportive!
@UnrelatedString real and same to both (i feel it very quickly when typing / playing piano so yeah, rip) but yeah i hate lotion a lot (or just anything that makes my hands feel to dirty to use a phone/keyboard :p)
@UnrelatedString she is also trans lol
lol
But nice!
01:52
@hyper-neutrino did you tell her by just saying "you're gay now"
also this is the first I'm hearing of you having a gf :p
@hyper-neutrino Yeah phone screens are where it gets me the absolute worst. When it comes to natural skin oils building up, sometimes I can go hours on a desktop keyboard before I feel like I need to wash my hands, but I just can't touch a phone like that
@Ginger oh no i only met her after i realized
ah lmao
I was about to ask if she helped you figure things out
01:55
@Ginger fair enough i don't typically talk about myself much here especially cuz in the past few years (until recently i guess) i haven't been all that active here at all :p
things haven't changed that much
looks at last two years
I mean, we only launched a new site
Nothing big
and some other stuff probably but that wasn't too important
May or may not have launched and frozen an entire second main chat room
nothing of import really happened there I think
01:58
...wait I never realized TST got frozen literally the day before its 2 year anniversary
LMAO WHAT
shouldve waited one more day and thrown a 'happy birthday, you're dead now' party
no joke, I suggested that date entirely at random
that's the funniest shit
Ahahahahaha
@UnrelatedString well she did help me get the courage to come out to my closest irl friends and some other stuff so in a way yes (this was before we started dating, that is a quite recent development)
@UnrelatedString i mean i was around enough to have seen PLDI's proposal, beta, and launch and the whole TST thing :p
02:00
Nice
like i haven't been completely away otherwise i would've given up my diamond i just haven't been as active here as i once was
And I clearly remember you dropping by between now and AoC
periodic iris checkin
@UnrelatedString when you think about it, it was exactly 2 years
It's a leap year this year
LMAOOOO
02:04
@UnrelatedString i do have this tab open quite often :p just variable how often i actually look at it
@lyxal Ahahahahahahaha
@hyper-neutrino Real
02:44
@hyper-neutrino why do i keep thinking ure @lyxal smh
I always recognize her by the lambda, but come to think of it I keep getting you mixed up with lyxal
^ (to be fair lyxal and i are both mods so we have the blue italicized name) (also to be fair i won't confuse myself with someone else :p)
At least redz is in light mode so there aren't four people with black PFPs
negaginger could be real
Ahahahahaha
02:49
i could become light mode i suppose :p
That'd pretty much be your old pfp from 2021
well i am no longer pixel art :p
Being trans increases your resolution confirmed
COMPUTER! ENHANCE
02:52
@UnrelatedString wait you had a pixelated pfp before
lol
lol
And it was Hyper who indirectly inspired me to start changing it
this has been my pfp since the beginning of time I think
iirc it was Kermit the Frog at one point like three years ago
Wasn't it an unedited cat photo at some point
Or am I just remembering an edit of the edit
it's always been the edited version
unfortunately I have lost the original :(
Huh
@Ginger 😭
02:55
I got it from thiscatdoesnotexist, which is now defunct
Damn
...Speaking of AI and cats
Somebody calling for me?
@Ginger You did switch to a ukraine version at some point
This cat is real tho
02:56
> Sign in to use Dingus Video Generation
the exact wording isn't important
Wait why does it make you sign in to view it fuck it I'm uploading it somewhere else
@emanresuA yeah I did
I also have a version with genderfluid/bisexual sunglasses for pride
I think when the mod strike happened I made it grayscale... and then applied a bi flag overlay since it was pride month
 
1 hour later…
04:15
@Seggan there's a very simple way to tell us apart: look for the one who gives the most tax evasion vibes
ngl iris seems weirdly tax-evadey
might wanna make sure she isn't competing with us or something
Iris?
hyper
@Ginger what why D:
04:22
I'm using that name because it comes first in her bio :3
@hyper-neutrino maybe you've been hanging around lyxal too much
:3 thanks
the mod diamonds work in mysterious ways...
Ah didn't read the bio text
it's entirely possible that lyxal raises the tax evasion quotients of every mod on the network soley through his diamond
I can't confirm or deny this
04:25
@RydwolfPrograms do you have an explanation, perchance
If yer nasty
what
You've clearly never read Mario the idea v Mario the man
oh would you look at the time
@lyxal This implies that the average mod evades tax more than lyxal
sorry I can't hear you over my going to bed
Perchance
goodnight

@Ginger so thiscatdoesnotexist... does not exist?
@Neil Not, but thesecatsdonotexist.com does (WARNING: nightmare fuel aplenty!)
… like what even is this? A cat pillow‽
08:18
as a cat owner, i'll have you know cats frequently enter the position of Ţ̴̨̧̡͓̲̹̮͈̟͙̹͓͇͇̝̩̣͕̥͙̋͐̄̊͆̈́̀̀̾̎̀̀́̉̑̋͌̅̆̿̇̇̇̔͒͌̄͗̍̐͘̚̕͠Ḩ̷̢̢̨̘͓̜̠̦͓͚̯̺͓̦̭̭̥̬̙̙͇̔̐̍̾̽̆̊́́̓̎̚̚͘̚͘͝Ę̶͉̺̯̤͖̣̤̮͎̻̗̞̦̩̩͕̮͈͎̳͕̼̬͔͔̗̬̀̂̐̾̇̀̕̚͝ ̴̡̭̻̤̮̭̬̙̜̝͍̤̫̟̤̣̳̟̻͐͆́̇͆̿͐̍̈̍͆́̆̔͂̽͆̃̏͑͜͝͝͝͝ͅÇ̴̨̛̛̲̝̳̩͍̱̇̋̂͗̈͛̓̉̂̈́̂͌̈́͊̋̏̈̒̌́̄͊̅̕͘͝͝͠͝ͅḬ̸̢̧̡̼̹͈̺̞͓̤͖͈̻̟͔͓̠̲͆͆́͑̈͌͐̐̍̏̌̏͐͑̏͆̓͌̃̀̈̄͌͂̀͘͘͘͘͝͠ͅR̶̨̺̳̜͎͔͉̻̦̞̲̺̮͗̌͛̽̑̔̆̒̈́̍̽̀͊͗͆̈͛̄̔͑̅͆͘̚͝͝C̴̯̲̖̈̅̇̅̀̇͊͆̎͗͂̉̄̾̌͋̍̋͌͐̈́͘͝͠͝L̶̮͂͌̈́͊͆͑̑̿̑͐͛͊̇̋͊͑̄̓̽͘̚̕͝È̵̝̦͔̞͍̣̗̻̦̣̦̏̇͒͌́͑̈́̀̕͜
oh hey SE chat doesn't clip diacritics out of the message box neat
@lyxal was this close to write in "swag" and then i realized im out of touch
08:48
@Themoonisacheese no, you're Themoonisacheese
given this is a reference to Wallace and Gromit i'd say that's out of touch
wouldn't the account need rep to talk in chat?
yes, that's why I'm asking a mod to override the restriction.
ah didn't know they could do that
08:51
They can do almost anything.
tbh i expected SE to be like "we know what's best for the community 🤗" and not allow them to do that
CMC: Output the current sdate. E.g. for today, output September 11291, 1993
@Adám status complete
Thanks.
@Themoonisacheese the fact I can edit yours and everyone else's messages freely suggests otherwise
09:10
fair enough
09:45
@Adám JS, 60 bytes: `September ${(new Date()-new Date(1993,8))/864e5+1|0}, 1993`
@Themoonisacheese Semptember‽
fun fact: ❯ factor 19930831
19930831: 79 252289
∊'September '(⍕⌈-/1⎕DT'J'(1993 9 1))', 1993' is same length but maybe nicer reading order.
math question: is there an integer such that that integer's prime factors have less base 10 digits than the integer?
I just referenced Things to avoid when writing challenges as part of an argument about programming contest problems having awful I/O 😎
6
@Themoonisacheese 16? If you allow repeats then no
concatenation of integers is always going to be larger than its product
10:08
yes allowing repeats
Then no: abcd < 10000, efgh * abcd < efgh * 1000 < efghabcd and apply induction
fun
this is true of any base isn't it
yeah
trivially, since base n is base 10 in that base
in the time it took you to respond i wrote this monstrosity:
for i in {1..3000};{
ni=`wc -l<<<$i`
nf=`factor $i|cut -d ':' -f 2| tr -d ' '|wc -l`
(($ni<$nf))&&echo $i
}
i swapped my condition but doesn't matter
 
1 hour later…
11:31
@Themoonisacheese 64. Its prime factors are all 2, which are less than both 6 and 4.
If they can have a jigsaw puzzle world championship then surely they can have a code golf world championship too :p
It's a shame they don't have any Area51s for world championship proposals
11:50
@Neil yes but there's 6 of them. i meant in total, but emanresu desmonstrates that this can't be true
i also meant in terms of character counts:
64 -> 2
2 2 2 2 2 2 -> 6
Ah, so you wanted fewer digits
yes
i was wondering if there's ever a case where encoding a large number as a product of its primes could be less bytes than writing the number
and obviously not as-is, maybe with some base conversion trickery
@hyper-neutrino God, such a mood. I've been completely swamped with IRL stuff basically since winter of my 2nd year of uni (going into 4th this fall), so done nowhere near the amount of modding I thought I would have
12:13
you guys are getting mod activity?
13:07
@emanresuA YES
They have such vile I/O sometimes
the Best™️ is when you have to take a single line of input that's over, what, 4096 characters long
13:51
@lyxal Yeah, we've consistently had flags waiting to be handled for the last few months tbh
Not a lot, but I haven't seen the flag dashboard empty for a while
lucky :p
14:09
@Themoonisacheese Aside from literally going into the SE databases to edit the originals of stuff, there's almost nothing mods can't do. Oh, that and easily updating the help center, close reasons or bounty reasons :/
what's even more fun is when you update a close reason but then realise you made a typo in the description
meaning you need to delete the reason and get co-mod approval all over again
@cairdcoinheringaahing I wasn't aware bounty reasons are changeable at all
I am marking this as status-deferred because this requires extensive work from the CMs and doesn't seem to be of particular importance. — hyper-neutrino ♦ Jun 9, 2021 at 13:59
that kind of feature request
Yep :/
Throw it on the pile labelled "Things only CGCC wants from SE"
14:47
@Themoonisacheese can confirm
theres also "sausage with legs", "sphinx mode", and "yes im lazy leave me alone"

Q: Compress ascii images using run length encoding

Dimitri ChrysafisGiven an ascii image of art of some sort, like the ascii image of a dog seen below, how can you codegolf Run-Length encoding on it to compress it. Run-Length Encoding is a compression technique that replaces sequences of the same character with a single character and its count. For example, the s...

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Dimitri ChrysafisQuestion: You need to implement two functions: one for compressing ASCII art using Run-Length Encoding (RLE) and another for decompressing RLE-encoded ASCII art.

@UnrelatedString I know the whole "why yes, good sir or madam, this is in fact the case" thing was a joke but some genuinely do have worse requirements than that
I haven't seen a ton of super bad ones but yeahhhhh
While we're at it, "Chameleon challenges", "Multipart challenges with unrelated subtasks", "Think twice if you're writing a challenge around an algorithm you found on the internet" and "Input validation"
baby shoes for sale, hatched recently
@UnrelatedString shoot me by day6 lol
No like we were wondering what that had to do with !!
And I guessed !! could be read as "bang bang" which could plausibly be a lyric in a song about shooting guns
20:29
@lyxal Google Calendar lied to me :p
@UnrelatedString oh wait did I already say what the song was I didn't read the context lol
@RydwolfPrograms Is the implication that the shoes are themselves babies? Because I spent like a minute trying to read some kind of trans egg reference into it lmao
@RydwolfPrograms You linked it
@UnrelatedString yeah lol
baby shoes for sale -- local blacksmith
21:10
baby, shoes for sale, wake up
baby shoes 4: on sale (Xbox/PC)
Bay: bee shoes for sale (sans explosions)
21:27
Babe, E shoes for sale (just my size)
21:57
Baby shoes for sail, but don't raise your kid on a boat
att
att
i don't think sails need shoes
@UnrelatedString Why not? It could be educational and/or lead to weeks adrift in the Pacific drinking turtle blood
22:11
Oh boy
(come to think of it I did get really jealous that one time someone from the linguistics club at my university talked about how fulfilling it was to spend a couple years living on a boat. mostly because I just didn't have a lot of fulfilling things to do in general and the two years I was "homeschooled" were an absolute void but)
@emanresuA sans explosions? Sounds like a rather bad time
22:46
Shoutout to my comsci teacher for asking me to specify files' languages in header comments

@Seggan Says the guy who also has a mostly black pfp
@emanresuA Or, you know, looking at the code
@UnrelatedString I would be in perpetual fear of shark attacks and drowning
I'll take a boring apartment inland any day of the week, thank you very much
Boring > fulfilling (personal opinion)

who says boring can't be fulfilling
aww, Razetime dropped off the starboard
