@N3buchadnezzar 1 - Rape your friend; 2 - Kill him; 3 - Profit.

mr. FS

@Jordan It's amazing :O

Jordan

I feel like I got trolled, and I don't use that word lightly

N3buchadnezzar

@GustavoBandeira Why not 2 - 1 - 3 ?

Gustavo Bandeira

@N3buchadnezzar It's also a viable alternative.

Old John

time I slept - night all

N3buchadnezzar

12:02 AM

@OldJohn Cya, old geezer!

lewist

Good night!

Old John

@N3buchadnezzar cheers young man :)

mr. FS

bye

Old John

bye

Jordan

If I wasn't stupid I would have learned some math in school

N3buchadnezzar

12:08 AM

@Jordan Clean dem toilets!

Jordan

No!

N3buchadnezzar

Then do the math!

Jordan

I cleaned toilets (not literal toilets, proverbial toilets!) for long enough

I don't even need to know math, I should be learning how to program

N3buchadnezzar

HAHAH

The people I know who program, know as much of not more about math than me.

Efficently programing requires math, and loads of it.

Gustavo Bandeira

@N3buchadnezzar Lies!

Jordan

12:11 AM

I think the c++ room at stack overflow would disagree

Gustavo Bandeira

You don't even know other people!

@Jordan Also a lie! Look: C++, they have to sum twice, of course they need math!

N3buchadnezzar

@GustavoBandeira Methods for analysing the efficiency of algorithms, divide and conquer techniques, recursive solution methods. Methods for ordering, searching and sorting.

Data structures for efficient retrieval of data, dynamic programming and greedy algorithms. Data structures for implementing graphs and networks, as well as methods for traversals and searches. Algorithms for finding the best path(s) and matchings, spanning trees and maximum flow. Theory of problem complexity. Algorithms are expressed in a language independent fashion.

user19161

I wanted to type an answer but it is so long that I gave up...

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting lol

user19161

@GustavoBandeira It's really easy to explain it on the blackbaord though, but I would need an hour to type it up...

N3buchadnezzar

12:13 AM

@WillHunting Thats what she said.

user19161

@N3buchadnezzar What does that mean?

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting LaTeX is for noobs, write it on the blackboard, take a picture with your webcam and you're done.

mr. FS

yes

N3buchadnezzar

@WillHunting ... it is so long that I gave up

user19161

@N3buchadnezzar Geezis.

user19161

12:14 AM

Hey @amwhy will you be aiming for 20k now? =)

Jordan

I just do all my math in my head, writing stuff down is for suckers. Just think of all the money you are literally just handing to the paper companies

user19161

@Jordan Paper is not expensive. Maybe that's why you can't get the algebra right.

mr. FS

yes and all the people that might steal your ideas, o no

Jordan

I write things down, just very poorly :P

amWhy

@WillHunting hahahaha. That will be a while! It's kind of a let down, having set my sight on 10K, I have to reformulate my next goal!

Jordan

12:16 AM

usually with the wrong solutions

N3buchadnezzar

Math is for suckers, life is about driving around and picking up girls on my motorcycle! wooo, and drawing paintings!

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting After this suggestion, you should ask: "Where's your god now?!"

Jordan

@N3buchadnezzar I love drawing paintings, painting is for suckers so I just draw

Gustavo Bandeira

@N3buchadnezzar In soviet russia, life is about picking up motocycle on my girls.

Jayesh Badwaik

1258 chats last night... holy molly

Gustavo Bandeira

12:20 AM

MSE chat should be like stickam - It would be nice to have voice support.

Jordan

►

Gustavo Bandeira

It would be nice to hear me, I stutter while talking english.

Jordan

Anyways the point I was attempting to make is that I want to be a programmer but all I am studying now is spanish, physics and math

Gustavo Bandeira

@Jordan Spanish? Taco taco burito?

Jordan

Hola

me gusta matematicas!

Gustavo Bandeira

12:23 AM

Você entende o que eu falo?

Jordan

well those are words I don't know

Gustavo Bandeira

Como espanhol é parecido com português, acho que você deve entender.

It's portuguese, it's similar so you should understand.

Jordan

I dont know voce or eu

Gustavo Bandeira

Voce -> Usted.

Eu -> Yo.

Eu sou gay - Yo soy gay.

Jordan

lol

Gustavo Bandeira

12:25 AM

But that proposition is half true, I'm gay only at weekends.

Jordan

the best time to be gay?

Gustavo Bandeira

Best time.

Charlie

@GustavoBandeira HAHAHAH

Gustavo Bandeira

It is the time when Kastchei dances his infernal dance.

Jordan

I actually don't know much spanish because I am incredibly lazy, but still manage to get good grades because the class is easy

Gustavo Bandeira

12:26 AM

Kastchei and all his subjects.

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik Hi!!!

Gustavo Bandeira

@Jordan Do you read spanish?

Jayesh Badwaik

@Charlie Hello!! I thought you were asleep! Just woke up.

@GustavoBandeira Ahh, the orientation werewolf.

Jordan

@GustavoBandeira Not really, I gave up learning spanish because it got too hard

Gustavo Bandeira

@JayeshBadwaik If you could understand portuguese, this song would make sense for you.

Not exactly "for you"

Charlie

12:29 AM

@JayeshBadwaik :DDD

Gustavo Bandeira

But it has something to do with your joke.

Jordan

It is their first album

Gustavo Bandeira

@Charlie is going to understand.

And she's not going to tell you.

Jordan

I can't understand that song but the picture is funny

Jayesh Badwaik

@GustavoBandeira Bookmarked it, will see later.

Gustavo Bandeira

12:30 AM

Because we're nasty brazilians and we have secrets!

Jayesh Badwaik

@GustavoBandeira Don't count on it. :P

user19161

@GustavoBandeira So many secrets!

Jayesh Badwaik

@Charlie :D You are relaxed today. :-)

user19161

I think I am tired, I should retire at 8k in a few days...

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik i think so

Jayesh Badwaik

12:31 AM

@Charlie Here

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting Please don't go

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting True wisdom comes from waking up too early and then feeling dizzy with needing to go to sleep again.

user19161

@GustavoBandeira When is your birthday?

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik hahah light sword...geeezzz!

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting Well, I was born in 30/11/1989. But they registered me on 03/12/1989.

user19161

12:34 AM

So that question with the long answer I tried to type it up again but gave up again, LOL.

user19161

@GustavoBandeira WTF!

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting This must be some kind of game made by my father, there must be some kind of cipher in these dates...

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Dude, it is more common than you think. Someone I know was registered three months early because else, there would be some issues with some legal thing concerning rations and all.

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik Ah you can be sure such things don't happen here.

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Well, you have a small population to take care of.

user19161

12:36 AM

@JayeshBadwaik But that's about all about here. The math and everything important sucks.

Gustavo Bandeira

So math is not important?

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Yes, about that, I know you say rankings don't mean anything, and NUS is ranked some 11th in the world in math in QS World Ranking 2012.

Gustavo Bandeira

So math is not important? @WillHunting

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik HAHAHAHAHA, so funny!

Jayesh Badwaik

I wonder why I wonder why I wonder why I wonder.
I wonder why I wonder why I wonder why I wonder.

@GustavoBandeira Nice huh?

You interested in football?

user19161

12:38 AM

@JayeshBadwaik I must say things improved after I left though.

Gustavo Bandeira

@JayeshBadwaik I hate footbal. xD

Jayesh Badwaik

@GustavoBandeira Oh noes. :-(

@WillHunting Hmm. That is believable. Even my prof said so.

user19161

So now it is the new say and nobody upvotes my lhf anymore, and yesterday's points were all wasted!

Gustavo Bandeira

I have math, no need for something else. I'll even abandon my GF and runaway with @Charlie

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik I gave some nasty feedback to some people after I left, maybe they took note of that...

Charlie

12:40 AM

@GustavoBandeira hahahaha

Jayesh Badwaik

@GustavoBandeira Be careful about that mister.

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik HAHAHAHAHAHA

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik ;)

user19161

For me, I am single and available. =)))

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Hmm, or may be they just got more funding. Their admission processes are extremely bureaucratic though.

@Charlie ;-)

user19161

12:42 AM

@JayeshBadwaik Also, maybe cos of competition from NTU. I gave some people very good feedback about NTU.

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting Then I'll quit running away with @Charlie and I'll runaway with you.

user19161

@GustavoBandeira No, the first requirement is that it is a girl.

Gustavo Bandeira

@Will I can change that.

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Dude, you are opposite!! Almost everyone I know agrees that NTU is shit. :P

Gustavo Bandeira

No need to worry.

Jayesh Badwaik

12:43 AM

@GustavoBandeira HAHAHAHA. Now that's some thinking.

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik Hahahaha, didn't you watch my movie? Didn't you know that I am different?

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting but opposite? :D

user19161

Nobody understands the depths of my thought. I am still looking for my Skylar...

user19161

So someone posted an answer to that very long question, I looked and it was not an answer at all! =)

user19161

I was surprised that he could type so much at first, turns out it is just some idea.

user19161

12:47 AM

@GustavoBandeira Dude, you already have a girlfriend, don't make her sad...

Charlie

@GustavoBandeira don't hurt maria...

Gustavo Bandeira

@WillHunting I don't do that. I'm only kidding.

user19161

@Charlie Hahaha, Maria is my codename in another room for any kind of potential girlfriend!

user19161

@GustavoBandeira Yes, I know. =)

Charlie

@WillHunting it's her name...

user19161

12:50 AM

But I think I should change Maria or XXX to Skylar. QED.

Charlie

@GustavoBandeira você chama ela de Madu?

@WillHunting :)

Gustavo Bandeira

Eduarda mesmo.

Jayesh Badwaik

I have got google translate.

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik so?

@Argon

Argon

@Charlie !

Jayesh Badwaik

12:54 AM

3 mins ago, by Charlie

@GustavoBandeira você chama ela de Madu?

Argon

@Charlie Google traduz todos os tipos de coisas em português (muito mal)!

Charlie

@Argon funny funny!

Argon

@Charlie Did it make sense?

Charlie

@Argon yes

Argon

Yay!

Gustavo Bandeira

12:56 AM

Argon is brazilian?

Charlie

@GustavoBandeira canadian

user19161

@argon Aaron!

Jayesh Badwaik

@Argon Google Translate for Portuguese is surprisingly almost perfect.

Argon

@WillHunting Hi!

@JayeshBadwaik Sorta :)

user19161

@Argon I have decided to use Skylar instead of XXX now, in case you didn't read. =)

Charlie

12:58 AM

@JayeshBadwaik there was a time that it had a joke: we wrote something like Usa sucks, something insulting usa and the translation was insulting Brazil

Argon

@WillHunting Why?

Charlie

@Argon Joke

Argon

@Charlie (for Jasper, sorry)

user19161

@Argon Because Skylar is the name of the girl Will went to look for in the movie.

Jayesh Badwaik

@Charlie Hahahaha. That is due to the crowd-sourcing nature.

Argon

12:59 AM

@WillHunting Hahaha!

user19161

@Argon At the end of the movie, he says "I had to go see about a girl". That is one of the famous lines in the show.

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik :)

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting I think I am going to apply to NUS for MS Math. Do you have any idea about the funding?

@Charlie :D

Argon

@JayeshBadwaik NUS?

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik I think it is hard to get funding anywhere unless you intend to do a PhD. So you should be thinking of PhD and not MSc per se.

Jayesh Badwaik

1:01 AM

@Argon National University of Singapore.

Argon

Cool!

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Ahh, yes, but no one will accept me in PhD right now.

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik Also, I don't think you should apply there unless there is something that attracts you.

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik Then I suggest you do an MSc in India first.

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Hmm. I am not sure, the alternatives in India don't look that good too. Hmm, lets see.

user19161

1:02 AM

@JayeshBadwaik I have not studied in India, but I would say your universities and intructional materials look damn good to me.

user19161

So @jayesh I think you should only come here if you want to see me. =)))

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Ehh. As I said, on paper contributes to around 10% of the actual thing.

Argon

@Charlie Hydrogen

Charlie

@Argon Nitrogen

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Yes. That might be a reason enough.

user19161

1:04 AM

@JayeshBadwaik Hmm, OK it is up to you then.

Argon

@Charlie You are hydrogen

user19161

@JayeshBadwaik I am not sure if I would still be alive. =)))

Charlie

@Argon You're Argon :)

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting WTF? You have to be.

Argon

@Charlie Haha, we are both elements!

user19161

1:05 AM

@JayeshBadwaik Yes, for Skylar's sake. =)))

Jayesh Badwaik

@Argon You are both in your elements.

Argon

@JayeshBadwaik hahaha!

Jayesh Badwaik

I am graphene.

user19161

@argon Did you see this? english.stackexchange.com/questions/8878/…

Argon

@JayeshBadwaik Is that an element?!?

Charlie

1:06 AM

@JayeshBadwaik :)

Argon

@WillHunting =D!!!! Great! ahahaa!

Jayesh Badwaik

@Argon I am in one of the my many elemental forms.

@Charlie Yes, also, combined with hydrogen, graphene has some awesome electrical conductivity properties.

Here

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik ;)

Argon

And Argon seldom reacts....

user19161

The Friday song has become an earworm...

Jayesh Badwaik

1:08 AM

@Argon :D

@Charlie ;-)

Argon

@WillHunting In a good way?

user19161

@Argon Yes.

Argon

@WillHunting Well, the weekend is almost done :'(

Charlie

I shall take my leave. Good night boys!

Jayesh Badwaik

@Charlie Good night. Sleep tight.

Argon

1:16 AM

@Charlie Good night!!

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik Have a good day!

@Argon Night Aaron!

Night @will !

Jayesh Badwaik

@WillHunting Are you there?

Argon

2:25 AM

hmmm........

Gustavo Bandeira

Artist's shit

Artist's Shit (Italian: "Merda d'artista") is a 1961 artwork by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni.

Argon

@WillHunting Hi!

user19161

@Argon Wassup?

user19161

I find it really silly that questions are downvoted simply because they are duplicates.

user19161

This is RIDICULOUS!

Argon

@WillHunting It's happened to me!

user19161

2:47 AM

First of all, the question may not be easily searchable.

Argon

@WillHunting nm, u?

user19161

Second, even if it is, the asker might have used different search terms and there is no need to penalise him if the question is well-written. QED.

user19161

@Argon Sad panda!

Argon

@WillHunting :)

Peter Sheldrick

rschwieb actually EDITED one of my questions so it was a duplicate... math.stackexchange.com/questions/71957/… but that's ok, i voted to close it anyway (but that didn't happen somehow...)

oh and he also edited the question to include the answer to the other question...

user19161

2:50 AM

Yesterday an unknown fan upvoted some of my posts after I capped.

Peter Sheldrick

but hey z^(-n)/(e^z-1) actually has different residues than z^n/(e^z-1)

Argon

@WillHunting You have many unknown fans.

user19161

@Argon I have some known ones but that one was unknown.

Peter Sheldrick

@WillHunting, a bot or so upvoted some of my really old stuff but then got deleted and the upvotes with him...
