good news: profile settings are working

I am going to try to work on some animations

@Mego btw are we making sure duplicate emails don't exist?

Pavel

@Downgoat I think it wouldn't be a problem. There are legitimate reasons to have a sock account, you could prevent voting on posts created by an account with the same email.

@Downgoat We shouldn’t allow whatever we’re going to use to signify modship/adminship, and 40 should be plenty

Anonymous

@Downgoat Like Pavel said - there’s not much of a benefit, since making a new email account takes about 30 seconds anyway

Quick mockup, but how is something like this for a basic user profile page:

totally not made in ms paint

I like it

Make sure to make it look exactly like that

Downgoat

@Mego something like a "Challenge of the day" and maybe 3 "answers of the day" shown on the homepage would be great to create a feed-like thing on the homepage

that would make sure people keep coming back to the site to see the new content

Anonymous

I guess challenge of the day would be the challenge posted on the previous UTC day with the highest total vote score (and likewise for answers, but with code score instead of vote score)?

Downgoat

@Mego Maybe I'll make a MS Paint theme later :P

Anonymous

1:57 AM

MS Paint theme and hotdog theme plz

Downgoat

@Mego do you have usage rights to the penguin in your avatar

Anonymous

Yes, it's public domain

Downgoat

in that case, do you have a high-res version of it?

Anonymous

Maybe, lemme look

2:08 AM

hm, ok now to integrate penguin into icons...

Anonymous

2:20 AM

Uppeng and downpeng

Downgoat

btw any ideas for rewards we can offer for reaching certain goals? (not like privileges)

specifically rewards that grant the user the ability to do new things

maybe for error messages there can be penguin

Downgoat

2:59 AM

I am going to make a new penguin that I'll have a little more control over but it'll still be a penguin

Anonymous

@Downgoat Maybe unlock new themes?

Downgoat

oh that is good idea

should the penguin of PPCG-v2 be like emporor penguin or like african penguin?

please excuse spelling >_<

Little penguins (aka blue penguins)

3:30 AM

Should I make the whole head blue then?

owait

white part should be on bottom

Anonymous

@Downgoat That is a monstrosity

quartata

Looks like it has a bowling pin covering its face

Anonymous

@quartata Exactly

Anonymous

It needs a beak

Anonymous

And a smoother back of the head

Anonymous

3:43 AM

Or just remove the top circle and stick a beak on the main part for a chibi-style penguin

Downgoat

4:17 AM

@Mego also eyes :P

4:35 AM

@Downgoat I mean I guess :P

;_; idk how to make penguin not look dead

Anonymous

I like it

Idea: seasonal themes (penguins and snowmen for winter, etc.)

Downgoat

oh thats good idea

Downgoat

5:23 AM

I'll try to integrate this background across the site without it being too noisy sometime later next week

and I can penguin-theme the icons too maybe

Anonymous

Another fantastic idea (this time from my wife): mascots

Anonymous

That can be the Programming Penguin, and we'll need a Code Goat

Anonymous

And they can appear in all of the themes we make

Downgoat

@Mego on it

Anonymous

Also we should probably come up with a real name at some point

Downgoat

5:26 AM

how about Velma or Karoo

Anonymous

Velma is Scooby Doo :P Why Karoo?

Downgoat

idk penguin names from my local zoo :P

Anonymous

Karoo is a desert in southern Africa

Idea for a name of something: goato

Ok so I'm looking through Django's DB migration stuff and I'm slightly regretting the decision to use Flask+SQLAlchemy

Anonymous

5:58 AM

But then I look at how heavy Django is and I regret the decision less

in The Nineteenth Byte, 24 mins ago, by DLosc

CMP: What do you think of having a "language of the week" type event? We'd nominate a different language each time; participants would learn it (if they don't know it already), answer questions in it, try to outgolf each other, and discuss it in chat. (The time period could be more than a week if that's not long enough.)

Anonymous

We should totally implement this later

Downgoat

@Mego oh that's a cool idea

would both help new langs get exposure and increase the language diversity on the site

@Mego btw PR for user options is ready to merge: github.com/PPCG-v2/PPCG-v2/pull/96

no custom avatars yet though

Anonymous

Can you add a field for entering an image URL for setting avatar?

Downgoat

oh ok yeah

Anonymous

The backend is in place for uploading image URLs

Anonymous

6:46 AM

Adding custom images isn't a huge priority, since users can just upload them somewhere and use the URL

Downgoat

7:03 AM

@Mego OK updated with a new 'Avatar URL' field

Why is upvote/downvote = like/dislike?

... double scroll bar?

(when I expand the leaderboard)

Anonymous

@Downgoat is the frontend person

Mr. Xcoder

12:04 PM

I think the byte counter is completely borked. I posted two ASCII-only solutions that are 100% 49 bytes, and the byte counter says they're 53.

Anonymous

Links?

Mr. Xcoder

perhaps blame-sql-alchemy

@Mego The two triangularity answers to "Hello, World!"

Anonymous

Looks like the leaderboard still isn't sorting correctly

Anonymous

@Mr.Xcoder ...I bet it's counting carriage returns

Mr. Xcoder

12:07 PM

Wut... >_<

Anonymous

Both have 4 line breaks and are 4 bytes over the actual count

Mr. Xcoder

y tho

Anonymous

I don't know why there would be CRLFs

Anonymous

I'll have to investigate

Mr. Xcoder

wait trying again

1) I am copying it directly from Tio and posting. 2) I am writing it there directly. Let's see what results I get (will post on the avocado challenge I think)

Anonymous

12:09 PM

@Downgoat Would the text fields for code be changing LFs to CRLFs?

Mr. Xcoder

Copying it from TiO yielded 53 bytes

Writing it by hand there gives 53 bytes too.

So most likely LF->CRLF is caused by the text fields

Anonymous

In the db: .... ....\r\n..."!"...\r\n.."rld"..\r\n."o, Wo".\r\n"Hell"+++

Anonymous

So yep

Mr. Xcoder

I'll try posting a single newline to see what happens :P

Anonymous

Opened #97

Mr. Xcoder

12:15 PM

Yeah a single newline is counted as 2 bytes

4:21 PM

(I'm Kritixi) for some reason I can't log in, clicking on "log in", and then on "sign in with google" and choosing the user does nothing, refreshing afterwards still does not log me in

the browser is firefox 57

@ATaco do oyu have a logo for Fnky?

For the homepage I'm thinking of two states: for logged in users we can show an activity feed, and if not we can show some fancy graphics with a See Challenges and Get Started buttons
