Strupremum

@PostLeftGarfHunter I've most often heard it in the context of pharmacies that will prefill your prescriptions before you go there so you don't have to wait for 15 minutes and wait for them to fill your order.

We do need a bot for the time, its annoying to keep checking

El'endia Starman

In any case, I've noted something a little intriguing: it's very easy to construct words that follow the rules of similar words but aren't (yet) found in dictionaries.

Post Left Garf Hunter

out of time now

xnor

proclaimable (12?)

Post Left Garf Hunter

preamble, traceable were the best I came up with.

El'endia Starman

Despite winning nothing, may I have the regex?

xnor

1:09 AM

go for it

Riker

oh nice I was looking at proclaimers xnor

El'endia Starman

[aeiou].+[aeiou]

Starts and ends with a vowel.

xnor

oh gosh

affix-o-clock

not y

Riker

you fool I was just looking at voweled words after my other one

Post Left Garf Hunter

at least that makes this a little better

xnor

1:11 AM

internationalize (16)

El'endia Starman

@Riker y isn't included!

Riker

oh that's stupid

El'endia Starman

Maybe ([aeiou]).+\1 would've been a better challenge. Starts and ends with the same vowel.

Riker

is undistinguishable a word?

El'endia Starman

I'd say yes.

Riker

1:12 AM

oh in works just as well

xnor

internationalizable (19?)

Riker

nvm

indistinguishable (17)

xnor

uninternationalizable (21??)

Riker

that is not a word I think

literally one place on the internet

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/…

quartata

of course

El'endia Starman

1:15 AM

For what it's worth, there's another game where you try to find a short Google search that only returns one (or two) results.

Veskah

ABBA (4) (Also, doing work stuff, will only tangentially be here)

Riker

lmao

El'endia Starman

Funny, the word I had in mind for suggesting the regex was Arabia (6).

Riker

I can't beat 19

ok I'm out: a quick grep of /usr/dict/share/words says there are only 4 chemical formulas with 20+

xnor

i got one if people are ready

Post Left Garf Hunter

1:19 AM

go ahead

xnor

Clue: [^cdhlnrst]*

Riker

oh jeez

El'endia Starman

Basically excluded the 8 most common consonants?

Riker

above (5)

Post Left Garf Hunter

Oh I was working on [cdhinrst]*

El'endia Starman

1:20 AM

Haha yeah, very few words are comprised entirely of consonants.

Has t.

Post Left Garf Hunter

it has like all of them

El'endia Starman

Hahaha.

Riker

amoeba (6)

Post Left Garf Hunter

I'm now stuck somewhere inbetween the two

Riker

I'm sounding so many words out in my head :/

xnor: out of curiousity, how long is your word? like more than 10 or so?

xnor

1:22 AM

i didn't think much, i had 6

El'endia Starman

vuvuzela (8) Has l.

xnor

L

just found 7

Riker

I can find so many 6s :/

lol does kebab work

xnor

yes

Riker

apogee works if someobdy can add a letter to that

oh wait

boogiewoogie (12)

El'endia Starman

1:25 AM

Namibia (7) (does that work?)

Riker

no that has N

El'endia Starman

[flips table]

Post Left Garf Hunter

oh that's an l not an i

my god.

El'endia Starman

Indeed.

Riker

lmao rip garf

Post Left Garf Hunter

1:27 AM

ok well I just came up with a 6 finally

bagpipe is 7

El'endia Starman

Nice!

Post Left Garf Hunter

bagpipe (7)

Riker

bye

Post Left Garf Hunter

bye

xnor

bye

El'endia Starman

1:30 AM

bye

Post Left Garf Hunter

I think that is time. Are we continuing with just 3?

El'endia Starman

I'm thinking of shifting my focus back to my project.

Post Left Garf Hunter

ok see y'all

xnor

this was fun

Post Left Garf Hunter

yep

xnor

1:31 AM

for the last one, i had baggage and mugwump

El'endia Starman

Oh those are good.

xnor

the dictionary also gives (fittingly) "maximize"

Post Left Garf Hunter

Oh wow I feel pretty good about coming up with bagpipe now.

Quintec

1:42 AM

So, I have a bit of free time, what are all the things a bot should do

Turns, time limit, regex validation, dictionary validation or maybe not because I'm lazy

Veskah

Possibly return longest word at the end of a round (maybe set by flag when you start it)

Quintec

Probably will end up being too lazy to make this

Veskah

Heh, fair enough.

quartata

i promise ill finish this bot in a couple of days

Quintec

@quartata I can do better, I'll finish in 6-8 weeks

ETHproductions

2:39 AM

I can work on dictionary validation perhaps once there's some code to work with

perhaps we put it on GH, and include a custom wordlist that takes out words we don't want to include and possibly adds in any others we find

quartata

4:31 AM

the trouble is no dictionary will contain all these compound nouns we like to use

is that good or bad

Cows quack

11:30 AM

@quartata yes

Quintec

2:25 PM

Y'all comfortable working with Apache Maven?

El'endia Starman

2:55 PM

I don't think I even know what Apache Maven is, though I'm aware of what Apache and Maven are independently.

quartata

3:15 PM

it's a Java thing and the answer is no

ETHproductions

3:25 PM

I assume the bot is being built in Python?

quartata

3:51 PM

mine at least is. i think everyone seems to be building one though

~~well have a competition~~

El'endia Starman

Combine them all and end up with a worse one!

Mithrandir

4:27 PM

@quartata Not me!

I'll probably clone it and fool around with it after it's built, though, just like the others :P

Anyway, this seems like a good way to get back into practice with regex

Quintec

4:45 PM

Darn I feel like such a java outsider

I can use the python stackexchange api too so I guess we'll do that lol

ASCII-only

@Quintec no chat API isn't SE API

Riker

@Quintec i'm using java a lot recently for varying reasons but i must say

ASCII-only

Java is crap

Riker

java is an abomination and does NOT belong on god's good earth

ASCII-only

Yes. Use C#

Quintec

4:48 PM

@ASCII-only that's what i meant

Riker

sincerely, killer-of-abominations-via-penguin

Quintec

Well, now I guess I HAVE to write the bot in java :P

ASCII-only

@Quintec why :|

Well

Quintec

Java until I die/run out of work because I only use Java

ASCII-only

Tbh good thing it isn't Flash. Anything but Flash is fine. As long as there are no 5 MB/s memory leaks I'm happy

@Quintec :| no

Quintec

4:51 PM

Currently for recreational programming my thinking goes, "time > 15 minutes ? Java : Python"

So this seems like more of a python job I guess

ASCII-only

:|

Recreational, eh?

> recreational

> chooses between 2 of the top 3 most popular languages

ETHproductions

mine is JS, does that complete the triad?

Quintec

Ok, there's recreational programming, and then there's recreational recreational programming

PPCG is the latter

ASCII-only

@ETHproductions yes

Well, not sure the current status

But those three should be somewhere near the top still

@Quintec ok. What do you count as recreational

Quintec

Making something pointless (ex. games)

Cows quack

4:55 PM

what about making games in weirder languages

ASCII-only

Clearly JS is the right language for pointless stuff

El'endia Starman

@Quintec My whole job is a lie!

ASCII-only

Because that way everyone can access the pointless stuff

Quintec

ouch

ASCII-only

Case in point, my glitch.com projects

Quintec

4:57 PM

@El'endiaStarman Okay, let me clarify: making something that I don't get paid for :P

El'endia Starman

That's basically the whole meaning of "recreational", yes.

Quintec

Well, ascii asked

ASCII-only

@Cowsquack like befunge, or FALSE

@Quintec crap, I normally use JS/Python

I guess I have no right to say anything

Quintec

The more I look at it, strupremum sounds like some danish pastry

Quintec

5:42 PM

Generic Bot v0 finished with no timer no dictionary validation aka no end game lol

Riker

10:32 PM

i'm down but only for a bit
