soyboys...

The idea that soy makes you more feminine is totally false afaik

@Blue Note that circuit is a QuantumCircuit, not a QuantumProgram, so it's no wonder you don't find them in the QuantumProgram documentation :P

Balarka Sen

@enumaris You have to ascend fifty layers of irony to understand 4chan humor

enumaris

I'd rather stay the hell away from 4chan thx

danielunderwood

@Blue qiskit.org/documentation/_autodoc/… comment doesn't appear to be there, but it looks like it may just be a logging thing?

Balarka Sen

The reason "soyboy" is funny to an intellectual is because it's an unscientific terminology used by soyboys to advocate a male-dominated society

@ACuriousMind Oops, sorry. Linked wrong page. This is it: qiskit.org/documentation/ja/_autodoc/qiskit.QuantumCircuit.html. Seems like circuit.happlies the Hadamard gate to each of the qubits in register qb

Anonymous

But still no idea what .comment does

DanielSank

@enumaris Oh wow, I didn't know that.

@enumaris Interesting. Thanks for that comment. Up the cost?

@enumaris All over the internet.

Anonymous

@danielunderwood But where does it get stored and how do I access it? :P

Anonymous

How's the logging done?

DanielSank

@enumaris A lot of these cards are drafts. Corrupt Courtesan will have abilities, I just haven't finalized them yet.

enumaris

8:04 PM

I see

ACuriousMind

@Blue Have you run the thing and looked whether it just writes to console? :P

enumaris

@DanielSank take a look at search for azcanta, after it flips, it's a land that has some powerful effects. There's a few lands like that. All is Sand will negate all of them so...o.o

Anonymous

@ACuriousMind Not yet. I was trying to understand the program first. But you're right. Got to run it and check. Installing QISKit itself was a big pain! ;)

enumaris

All is Sand seems very powerful to me. But of course, there needs to be some testing to verify.

ACuriousMind

@Blue Understanding programs is usually easier when you've seen what they do :P

8:07 PM

True dat, lol

Reverse engineering is always better

Anonymous

(and easier)

ACuriousMind

@Blue Reverse engineering would be if you hadn't got the code and were trying to infer the code from the behaviour of the program.

Anonymous

Okay, that would be an extreme case :P

ACuriousMind

Executing a program while trying to understand it is just...normal

enumaris

8:10 PM

you say this, until you find out that executing that program has wiped your harddrive

Anonymous

Lol

ACuriousMind

@enumaris If you have any reason at all to suspect that, run it in a virtual machine, but run it nevertheless

Security researchers also analyze viruses by looking at what they do to systems.

enumaris

right :P

danielunderwood

Well this is where h is defined on circuits if that helps github.com/QISKit/qiskit-terra/blob/…

Anonymous

h applies the Hadamard gate to the register, apparently

enumaris

8:39 PM

@DanielSank well, looked through them :D. I quite like many of the concepts here, but I do think there needs to be a lot of testing done with regards to the relative power of the cards.

Balarka Sen

8:51 PM

Yo @ACuriousMind

I have a question you here?

ACuriousMind

Yo

Balarka Sen

I want to propose a new site in Area 51

memes.stackexchange

will I get in trouble?

ACuriousMind

I have zero idea what sort of things might or might not get you into trouble on Area 51

Balarka Sen

yolo then

enumaris

what's area 51

ACuriousMind

8:58 PM

@enumaris The place where you can propose new SE sites

enumaris

sounds like exactly the place then

if you get in trouble for proposing a new SE site in a place for proposing new SE sites...then somebody is too uptight...

Balarka Sen

1

Memes

Proposed Q&A site for true intellectuals, retired 4chan activist, Rick-and-Morty enthusiasts

Currently in definition.

ACuriousMind

I'm guessing the alien technology helps growing new sites, though

enumaris

Although I feel like you're gonna just get a cesspool of trolls with that site...

ACuriousMind

@BalarkaSen ...is that really what you want? I'll can tell you straight up that the chance that the CMs will ever greenlight that is the same as hell freezing over.

Balarka Sen

9:02 PM

r/woosh

ACuriousMind

Yes, I will readily admit that I don't see what's funny about that at all

DanielSank

@enumaris How is that any worse than something like Wrath of God?

Anonymous

@BalarkaSen You did that for real? XD

Anonymous

I'll follow it just to piss off the CMs then :P

DanielSank

There are powerful cards in MTG. That's how it is. My Yellow cards aren't for standard, they're for something more like Modern or Legacy.

enumaris

9:04 PM

@DanielSank which card? Wrath of God destroys all creatures. All is Sand pretty much only hurts your opponent...since you're the desert guy anyways.

DanielSank

@enumaris true

Balarka Sen

@Blue Thank you thank you

DanielSank

Maybe it should have vanishing.

Balarka Sen

You're a true comrade

enumaris

so it would be like if Wrath of God said "Destroy all non Yellow Creatures"

I think in general anyways designing cards is tough. And it's really hard to get the balance right especially if you don't go through extensive play testing.

So maybe print out some cards, and play it against some friends and their decks and see what happens? :D

DanielSank

9:07 PM

I have. Played online :-)

Got my ass kicked.

enumaris

Ah..

DanielSank

They really aren't that overpowered.

enumaris

yeah some of your cards seem underpowered as well

DanielSank

At least, in that case.

I only played one guy, but we played a number of times.

enumaris

Does the online app account for all your custom card's rules?

that's pretty neat...

DanielSank

9:08 PM

He had this ridiculous white/black deck that took my life and gave it to him.

@enumaris No.

It was insane.

enumaris

hmmm

I hope his deck wasn't like Alpha-level powered :P

Ancestral recall 1-blue mana for 3 cards...loooool

DanielSank

lol. No, it wasn't like that.

It was just a nicely constructed deck with lots of synergy,.

enumaris

I see

DanielSank

Way better than my jank designs.

enumaris

deck design takes a while

DanielSank

9:10 PM

I mean, Wall of Cactus is good, but it's not going to win you games ;-)

enumaris

and even as the creator of the cards, it will take a while for you to find the best deck you can build from your cards and existing cards

people find infinite loops by accident as well...

DanielSank

Yes. I do need to get rid of the sand counter mechanism. It's too fragile.

Haha, yeah infinites are funny.

enumaris

In High School, I had a friend who always beat us with his Replenish deck

was pretty sick

DanielSank

bah

enumaris

It's kind of similar to the now popular God Pharaoh's Gift deck

lots of milling

DanielSank

9:11 PM

I had a friend that played a Warp World deck. We were all misunderstanding the rules, and he was putting Warp World back in the library every time he played it. It was... frustrating.

enumaris

I had a feeling at the time that we were misunderstanding the rules lol

but I can't remember anymore

what's warp world do?

Anonymous

@BalarkaSen Just avoid getting banned on Area 51 :P

DanielSank

@enumaris You put all your permanents back into your lib. Then you reveal as many cards from top of lib as permanents you removed. They all come into play.

So if you have CIP effects, it's ridiculous.

enumaris

hmmm...

Balarka Sen

So many support

Overwhelming

enumaris

9:13 PM

but yeah you can't shuffle Warp World back into your lib tho

Balarka Sen

I'm positively teary

DanielSank

@enumaris No but he was.

:-P

enumaris

XD

DanielSank

yeah

enumaris

8 mana is pretty hefty

DanielSank

9:14 PM

Yes but he built a deck around it.

enumaris

I suppose there must be cards out there that let you play sorcerys for cheap?

DanielSank

G/R. G for mana ramp.

Nah, he just ramped.

enumaris

Ah

like Lanowar Elves and Priest of or something?

DanielSank

I have a deck that can get 8 mana in like three turns.

enumaris

old school decks are like that...

DanielSank

9:15 PM

@enumaris Yeah

enumaris

you can get 7 mana in 3 turns if you complete a tron

DanielSank

^ That

I have a deck that I call "Urza's Cookout".

enumaris

or 12 mana in turn 1 if you grab 4 black lotus :P

I recently found out that cards I thought were pricy when I was in high school are now worthless

cards that I overlooked completely are now worth something

Anonymous

Lol, this is awesome: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/119042/memes/119047#119047

enumaris

e.g. Sneak Attack is now a 30 dollar card

Show and Tell is like 20 bucks

I thought those were worthless cards lol

DanielSank

9:17 PM

It's a full tron set, 4x Expedition Map, Thran Dynamo, Sol Ring, etc., plus Rolling Thunder, Comet Storm, Lightning Bolt, etc. etc.

Balarka Sen

I especially like the O_o face at the end

DanielSank

@enumaris Aww, that's too bad.

A friend of mine gave me two giant garbage bags of MTG cards that he didn't want any more. Mostly from Urza and stuff of that time.

enumaris

some of the cards have become pretty valuable

most of them tho...not really

DanielSank

Among other things, I found a couple Tolarian Academy, and (I kid you not), an Invoke Prejudice.

and a Demonic Tutor.

and a Lion's Eye Diamond.

enumaris

Legends?

DanielSank

9:19 PM

and a few other goodies.

@enumaris which?

enumaris

Invoke prejudice

DanielSank

oh. yes.

enumaris

300 dollar card

so lucky!

DanielSank

Yeah

enumaris

The most I got is a $160 Thought Seize from the master piece series that I opened in a booster like last week lol

DanielSank

9:20 PM

I also found a Tarmogoyf recently in a Modern Master's pack.

enumaris

Thoughtseize

dam...U got better cards than me by far :P

I'm quite happy getting the Thoughtseize though, it looks super boss

I also got a Nicol Bolas, God Pharaoh, a Liliana, Death's Majesty, a Vraska's Contempt, and a Ghalta, Primal Hunger so I can't complain about my luck with the new boosters

but those are nowhere near the price of a Invoke Prejudice lol

DanielSank

Oh yeah and my friend's bags also contained a Grim Monolith or two.

AND two Morphlings

He had a great collection by modern standards.

enumaris

what a nice friend lol

DanielSank

I got some great stuff there.

I wish I played more.

enumaris

I rarely even play...

I do feel though that if you go with like a vintage format deck it's a bit too prone to some weird rules interactions that produce infinite loops or just way too much mana too fast though

Standard does keep things simple in that respect lol

DanielSank

9:25 PM

Yeah but with standard you have to buy stuff all the time.

I prefer the famous "Kitchen Table" format.

enumaris

true

DanielSank

Ankh of Mishra and Parallax Tide is my favorite troll deck.

enumaris

I used to play a worship/Pestillence deck

in theory it seems like a good combo, but I can't recall if I ever had success with it lol

Balarka Sen

Ah, well, I guess account deletion doesn't reach Area 51, since it's running on some weirdo old version of SE

@Blue I mean, why do I get a "Page Not Found" when I click on that account's "network profile"?

I'm of course aware that using different emails allows you do create non-linked accounts :P
