@Jordan Huh?
 
GH←³↙²←²↙²↓³→²↘²→⁴*‖O→ to draw the empty circle :c
 
@Zacharý Peeking at the sun
 
I know that part, but what are "pot shots"?
 
@Zacharý Hahah it's like something thats unfair to another person. So like in boxing for example a potshot would maybe be hitting the opponent right after touching gloves at the beginning of the match
 
Okay ...
 
6:06 PM
Yay the clouds are gone
 
Peaking in ~30 minutes.
 
6:18 PM
And my computer is having trouble loading the modpack
Just in terms of being slow as heck
And slowing everything else on my computer down as well
 
lol, Washington Post has a livestream up on a herd of fainting goats, to see if they faint during the eclipse
5
 
@AdmBorkBork are they fainting?
 
one minute to totality
 
Arrays which can contain themselves at any level are incredibly annoying to work with......
 
@SocraticPhoenix Just convert them to JSON, it'll make everything easier
 
6:26 PM
doesn't look like they fainted :(
 
@StepHen But I'm working in Java -_-
 
they are kinda freaking out a bit, though, looking uncomfortable
 
@SocraticPhoenix (the point was when you convert them to JSON it would infinite loop)
 
@StepHen oh... lol
 
@SocraticPhoenix That should be really easy, right? Java Something Object Notation?
 
6:28 PM
@DJMcMayhem Java Sucks Object Notation

JK though I love java
 
Wowee

Hey who turned off the sun?
 
@Mego Mom get the camera
 
@Mego The moon
 
6:31 PM
@Mego Aliens...

Well that was cool. The path of totality for the eclipse in 7 years will go right over me, so I'm more excited about that one :P
 
Assuming you don't move before then
 
Anonymous
@DJMcMayhem I'll fly back :P
 
Something something, flightless bird...
 
6:42 PM
Totality is over here.
So ... for those that have experienced it ... how was the show?
 
@Zacharý just passed peak... we had 75% but it didn't even feel any darker than usual
the sun looked cool though, through the glasses it looked like a crescent moon
 
100% ... the halo around the sun looked pretty cool. But that wasn't really something to get out of school for.
 
only time I've seen more than 5 people outside my office building at once
 
o_o
 
I'm not kidding
 
6:52 PM
o_o
 
Anyone here has the latest Chrome or FF and a webcam?
 
Partial eclipse just passed through my area
The most visible indications were the crescent-shaped anti-shadows(?) and the sky becoming a less brilliant blue
 
@mınxomaτ I have chrome 60 and I think I have a webcam
 
@Sherlock9 rm rf
 
Newest version according to google
 
7:00 PM
@DJMcMayhem You ... think?
3
 
@StepHen sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root?
 
An android phone with Chrome should work, too. Anyway, try to try this: turbo.github.io/wasup/demo
 
@mınxomaτ I see what looks like a camera on my laptop, but I have never used it or verified that it is indeed a camera, and I have the correct drivers
 
@DJMcMayhem It's the NSA-approved random colored circle, you can safely ignore it
 
@mınxomaτ What am I checking? It seems to work, whatever it is
 
7:03 PM
@DJMcMayhem I shall explain later. The demo is just for verification. Glad that it works.
 
@mınxomaτ BTW, I opened it in Opera instead of chrome. It seemed fine.
 
@DJMcMayhem WebAssembly seems to be widely supported. BTW the source code for the filter is turbo.github.io/wasup/demo/c/filter.c, it's compiled just in time.

Q: Skip like a frog!

TheIOSCoderGiven an array of non-negative integers, your task is to only keep certain elements of it, as described below. Let's say the array is [1, 3, 2, 4, 11, 5, 2, 0, 13, 10, 1]. First get the first element of the array, n. Keep the first n elements and discard the next one (discard the n+1th). The n...

 

 Minecraft

For PPCG users and Minecraft
48 messages moved to Minecraft
Derr we go
 
CMC: Output a valid Minecraft skin image.
 
7:13 PM
output a black box of proper dimensions
 
So, how's the weather
 
@Zacharý mostly in the sky, some of it gets down to land once and a while
 
That's funny, we Canadians love talking about the weather eh
 
Canada > America, to be honest. We have ... him.
 
@Zacharý whether you like it or not, it's sunny
 
7:22 PM
...
 
Is there a way to get something like this but with more than 50 (or all) on one page?
 
@Adám yeah, SEDE
 
@Adám no
and the pagesize thingy on the url doesn't really work
 
@StepHen Could I bother you to guide me?
 
Well, I don't know the SQL...
but if you know SQL you go here
 
7:27 PM
did someone say SEDE?
 
yeah are good at that?
 
no i just have an overvoted answer in it
:P
 
@dzaima Cool. Thank you so much.
@dzaima Awsome, I can just open the csv file in a browser…
 
SELECT*FROM POSTS WHERE OWNERUSERID=43319AND POSTTYPEID=2 all caps and golfed
 
7:31 PM
CMC: Given a language name, output a CSV containing the character frequencies of the first codeblock for for latest 99 answers with that language name before a comma in the header
 
@DJMcMayhem Project is public now: git.io/wasm-cdn
 
@StepHen no

@totallyhuman :(
 
This makes it possible to find my posts that are missing an explanation!
 
the CMC is begging for SEDE, yet SEDE's probably not capable of it
:P
 
7:33 PM
@totallyhuman Is it starbait?
 
@Zacharý no
 
not intended to be...
but hey i have a two-character starred message now!
 
:)
 
What happened to the starboard?
 
@programmer5000 I've cleared most of the single stars
 
7:44 PM
Thanks
 
And that's how I lost 50 60...
 
I think someone was starring every 2-char message.
@Mr.Xcoder Huh?
 
@Zacharý Repcap
 
Ahhh, must be nice.
 
@Mr.Xcoder poor you
 
7:46 PM
:-/ I know
Now even more
 
@StepHen pew
 
What's the point of a starboard if half the starboard can be seen without scrolling...
 
: Make rep lost due to repcap reallocate in another day at 23:59:59 UTC if the user didn't cap that day
2
 
@Mr.Xcoder but that defeats the point of the repcap...
 
@StepHen Repcap is pointless anyway
 
7:49 PM
@Mr.Xcoder Please no
 
@Mr.Xcoder :o bold tag?
 
@totallyhuman Sure
Meh, Jon Skeet would earn infinite rep forever if it was that way
Bye everyone!
 
@Mr.Xcoder And Dennis, probably.
 
why do all emoticons on chat.SE look monospaced :( vs. :(
 
Wow, Jon Skeet has almost 2 million rep worth of score from just C# answers
 
7:54 PM
@Zacharý not really
 
I'm saying that because Dennis is PPCG's closest equivalent of Jon Skeet (the SO Chuck Norris)
 
@DJMcMayhem should've been 48 blocks :P
aaaaa too many new messages on starboard
 
Ohm chat room is a thing now
 
Dang, deleted by Jeff Atwood, even

Nice
 
@AdmBorkBork Huh?
 
The link that totallyhuman pointed to (2000+ rep users only, because it's deleted)
 
8:37 PM
So ... close.
 
Sec
@Dennis If you really feel the need to delete a one-year old post that adds to the topic, I feel sorry for you. But ok, I understand that you don't want any contributions. Can certainly do that.
 
@Sec It's not about "adding to the topic". I linked you to our policy that all answers to a challenge question must constitute valid solutions to that challenge. Your answer solved a related but ultimately very different task, thus clearly violating that policy.

Yea, you answered exactly like I thought ou would. You can't even look at stuff from a different point of view. Rest assured I will not bother your kingdom with any more contributions.
oh. @Dennis for previous line

@Sec link to answer?
 
...seriously..?

@programmer5000 Uh?
 
@AdmBorkBork No popcorn needed. If @Sec can't understand why a moderator would enforce a policy based on community consensus, there's nothing left to say.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Stan StrumAlgebra I, Mr. T's way code-golf algebra You are in a Mr. T's Algebra I class, and he has given you a long list of problems to solve for tonight's homework. Obviously, we're not going to. Your task is to create a program to solve these basic equations, so you can keep scrolling through PPCG. Mr...

 
9:15 PM
...rip starboard...
 
Oh my god, I never noticed it said popcon, rather than popcorn.
This guy's rep, it practically came from one question
 
@Zacharý branch prediction is very costly
 
9:36 PM
yep

Q: Is a "built-in" considered to be so for all challenges it CAN solve, or only the one it is DESIGNED to solve?

Kamil DrakariThis question has arisen after reading this answer to a question prohibiting a built-in which solves the problem. The poster argues that the built-in is not defined as "repeat a single integer a number of times equal to that integer" so it doesn't count as a built-in. However, it was brought up i...

 
10:00 PM
CMC: Change this code to print True.
hint: It is possible
 
@WheatWizard HOW?
 
I'll reveal my solution when someone else solves it. ;)
 
class Dunno:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def __lt__(self, other):
        return True

x = Dunno()
print x < x
:P
 
@totallyhuman Insert the code in the empty section, none before
 
10:06 PM
Mhm... I was complaianing about 50... The amount just doubled
 
@Mr.Xcoder hooray
 
Hey all, could I have your opinion on a question I'd like to post?
 
@totallyhuman You say
 
@Zacharý :P
 
10:07 PM
post it to the sandbox
 
@ppperry I did
 
oh
 
@WheatWizard no input?
 
you don't need to ask in chat, then; a bot will post a link automatically
 
@Mr.Xcoder No
 
10:08 PM
@ppperry Didn't know that, thanks
 
@Zacharý I'm assuming this is not what you want, @WheatWizard?
 
hmm
functions are orderable
 
@Zacharý Hey it works, so i'm fine with it. But I have a shorter solution
 
Don't reveal it just yet
 
maybe one of them is lesser than itself..?
 
10:11 PM
@Mr.Xcoder Ok
 
@WheatWizard you may reveal the byte count of the code to be changed though
If you want
> lesser
 
Mine's 39, but I think it can be shorter
 
@WheatWizard As a whole or just the changed code?
 
Just the changed code
 
@Mr.Xcoder hmm?
 
10:14 PM
CMC (part 2): Make this code print True
 
huh
is it the same object
 
Nope
two totally different solutions
 
thank you reddit: tio.run/##K6gsycjPM/r/…
 
@Zacharý -1 byte if you make the type string empty
-2 if you replace True with 1>0
 
@Zacharý that's just a golfier version of my answer though :P
 
10:17 PM
But that was my solution
 
@WheatWizard Umm, I thought 4-3 equals 1
 
The second CMC does not involve abusing type
@Mr.Xcoder I meant 2 cumulative bytes.
 
Ok 👌🏽
 
btw the solution to my second CMC is 7 bytes
 
oh i have a solution
 
@WheatWizard oh huh
 
Bingo
 
set ops defy the rules of math
 
CMC: Given an integer, determine how many numbers in the range [1...N] are not divisors
 
10:24 PM
@Mr.Xcoder Isn't that a thing already?
 
@Zacharý it's a CMC, nobody really cares :P
@WheatWizard damn NaN doesn't work
 
@WheatWizard heh, that one is funny
 
i stuck a complex number in and TypeError: no ordering relation is defined for complex numbers
o0
 
10:26 PM
Godammit inf doesn't work
 
@Zacharý i think you're missing the point... :P
 
@dzaima hah
float precision
fantastic
 
@dzaima >_>
 
10:27 PM
@Zacharý Nice but really long my solution is 9 bytes
 
@Mr.Xcoder APL: +/0≠⍳|⊢ (sum of zero different from 1…N mod N)
 
@dzaima It will work for any odd number greater than 18014398509481985
 
@Mr.Xcoder Uh, why isn't that infinity?
You don't specify a lower bound
 
CMC: largest float in your language (unlimited precision languages etc. cannot participate)
 
@ppperry [1...N] is finite
 
10:29 PM
3 bytes, floor reduce zilde.
 
@Adám Swift: Float.max
 
@WheatWizard Why didn't you post this to some challenfge
 
@Zacharý ⌊/⍬
 
@ppperry What cops and robbers challenge would I post it to?
I think these are probably more fun in chat
 
10:31 PM
84
Q: Will it halt? (Cops)

programmer5000This is the cops' thread. The robbers' thread is here. Your challenge is to make a program that runs forever without halting1, unless it gets a particular input or inputs2. If it receives that input, it must terminate in a finite amount of time3. This is code-golf, so the shortest answer that ha...

(wrapping the code in while not <condition>:pass)
 
@Mr.Xcoder Wouldn't that be equivalent to just removing repcap altogether?
 
@Adám I meant to say exactly that, but in a smoother way
 
(wrapping the code in if <condition>: print 'Hello, World!')
 
I mean, repcap just gave me a bounty of -100 today :)
 
10:33 PM
 
 
You know, that kinda defeats the point
 
11:09 PM
@Adám not exactly
if you repcap two days in a row it doesn't count the rep over the repcap
 
@Adám Lua, JS, Similar Double Precision Langauges, 2**1023.
 
@Adám rip languages with no floats
 
Although 2**53-1 is the largest non-decimal with perfect precision.
And I'm assuming Infinity, even though it's represented in a Double, it doesn't count as a large float.
 
11:24 PM
It's 9AM here.
 
@DestructibleLemon Not even, the suggestion doesn't say the next day, it just says another day.
 
So, Jon Skeet (and Dennis) would gain a crap-ton of rep if this was retroactive.
 
because if it were the case it would have problems with monotonicity.
