My commit messages are actually meaningful. :P

@El'endiaStarman why does you avatar look like a crazy Sonic horse humping an impossible triangle in space?

El'endia Starman

@TheDoctor Because you have a dirty mind.

phase

@Doorknob My messages would be like that if I added features to my projects that weren't just reverting terrible code.

anOKsquirrel

@El'endiaStarman I only read one operator and I'm already confused ajfjgkaj4jgksjkgj

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman What is your avatar?

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ @TheDoctor got the "impossible triangle in space" part right. It's a recolor of Sonic (i.e., it's El'endia) in a transformation pose. Like going Super Sonic.

@anOKsquirrel Huh?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:06 AM

@El'endiaStarman Ohhh. Cool! What's "El'endia"? I assumed that it was your name o_o

anOKsquirrel

@El'endiaStarman minkolang is very confusing

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's a pseudonym (fake name) that I've used on the internet for many years, so I do consider it "my name".

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman Oh, I see.

anOKsquirrel

Cool!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

anOKsquirrel

is Starman your real lastname?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Eleazar/Eleanor Asendia?

Doorknob

A Google search for "El'endia" results in only you. :P

El'endia Starman

Literally, do a Google search for "El'endia Starman" and almost everything you find will be mine.

I know! Isn't that awesome?!? :D

anOKsquirrel

wow nice!

do the same for me, only SO stuff.

And search for "an ok squirrel" and...

ughh

El'endia Starman

@anOKsquirrel That's not a response I've gotten before. What's confusing about it?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

anOKsquirrel

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ What text editor do you use?

Doorknob

there is one correct answer

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:15 AM

@anOKsquirrel For coding? Notepad++.

2

Doorknob

that is not the correct answer :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

For official documents? Overleaf.

For quick crap documents? MS word.

anOKsquirrel

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ shame on you use sublime

Doorknob

that is also incorrect

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ For HTML/CSS/JS, same.

phase

12:15 AM

sublime is gross, atom is OSS and has more features

anOKsquirrel

What is?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@anOKsquirrel Look. NPP works. I'm used to it. I'm not going to change.

El'endia Starman

For Python, IDLE.

@phase Is there a language where bold, italic and font size are relevant?

Seadrus

@trichoplax that's going to be my programming language, then.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^ make it

phase

@trichoplax I don't know if you can even detect that in files

El'endia Starman

@phase ...well, of course you can.

phase

a language that runs solely on Microsoft Word documents

El'endia Starman

12:18 AM

How else would MS Word know what's been bolded?

Doorknob

how else would it... be displayed in bold? O_o

Doorknob

@phase is that... D?

phase

@Doorknob yup, my new favorite language :D

I wanted to try D once but I never got farther than Hello World

phase

it is sooooo fun github.com/flower/fvm

I can never code C again knowing that D exists

Doorknob

12:21 AM

introduces @phase to E

is that even a thing? It's probably a thing

El'endia Starman

Next up: F!

Doorknob

E (programming language)

E is an object-oriented programming language for secure distributed computing, created by Mark S. Miller, Dan Bornstein, and others at Electric Communities in 1997. E is mainly descended from the concurrent language Joule and from Original-E, a set of extensions to Java for secure distributed programming. E combines message-based computation with Java-like syntax. A concurrency model based on event loops and promises ensures that deadlock can never occur. == Philosophy == The entire language is designed with secure computing in mind; this is accomplished chiefly by strict adherence to the object...

feersum

You skipped C#!

Doorknob

wrong link...

phase

@Doorknob I saw E. It's not as fun as D

Doorknob

phase

@El'endiaStarman what will?

El'endia Starman

12:25 AM

@phase The most-starred message ever in this chat is @quartata saying "I'm an idiot".

With 21 stars so far, I think.

Recently passed the previous record too.

I wanna invent a language called G-flat or something

El'endia Starman

@phase Gb, more like.

But I like that.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I want to make a programming language named ` `. (It's a space.)

El'endia Starman

12:27 AM

Good luck trying to search for it.

phase

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ contact github to see if they will allow a repo like that

El'endia Starman

Or just try it!

Actually, come to think of it, a single space would probably NOT work on the command line...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I did.

Doorknob

El'endia Starman

12:31 AM

Are `\` allowed?

Doorknob

or you could try a zero-width space! Although that'll probably just become a dash. :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

that division by 0 rule is nasty

That is nasty.

lol the sandbox is down for me

anOKsquirrel

I'm sorry I'm really dumb, but why is Š two bytes? Is it not ASCII?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

It is ASCII, and I don't know why it's 2 bytes. It pisses me off.

anOKsquirrel

Oh because I was using utf-8

in ANSI it's 1 byte

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@anOKsquirrel And you switched to???

ANSI, thank you!

anOKsquirrel

Does that count tho?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:31 AM

I dunno.

@Doorknob Is ANSI a valid encoding?

feersum

It's OK if you can put your source code in an ANSI-encoded file and run it successfully.

anOKsquirrel

yes thank you!

Doorknob

I'm pretty sure "ANSI" is not an encoding

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^ o_o @anOKsquirrel

SuperJedi224

ANSII?

anOKsquirrel

1:33 AM

Is it not?

prntscr.com/8zjf1b o rly

Doorknob

you'll have to figure out whatever Windows means by that. Probably something like CP1252.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob Why?

El'endia Starman

> Windows-1252, sometimes incorrectly called "ANSI" or "ASCII".

Doorknob

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Why what?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob Why would one have to figure that it? It's what it's called colloquially.

Doorknob

1:35 AM

there is no such encoding as "ANSI"

El'endia Starman

> Even though Windows-1252 was the first and by far most popular code page named so in Microsoft Windows parlance, the code page has never been an ANSI standard. Microsoft explains, "The term ANSI as used to signify Windows code pages is a historical reference, but is nowadays a misnomer that continues to persist in the Windows community."
