If you're asking if we have sock puppets, I have none

TanMath

@AlexA. You do!

Alex A.

I really don't

TanMath

@AlexA. then who is @ಠ_ಠ

ev3commander

none

Doorknob

@TanMath Can confirm that this is not Alex

Alex A.

02:03

@TanMath I can't share that information; account identities are private.

CSᵠ

how to make sock pup? please sir

Alex A.

Haha

Not sure if trolling

Doorknob

The opposite way that you make a sock kitty

CSᵠ

@AlexA. haha, that's what they all say

Alex A.

All of whom...?

Doorknob

02:04

m

CSᵠ

yes.

Alex A.

@Doorknob >____________>

ev3commander

how to type ಠ_ಠ face

Doorknob

...

like that?

ev3commander

i copypastwed.

*pasted

i can't always do that

right?

CSᵠ

02:05

@ev3commander on ಠ_ಠ's face?

Alex A.

@ev3commander You can't always copy and paste?

El'endia Starman

@

@ಠ_ಠ

Doorknob

For me, I set up a thing in my i3 config so it's "alt alt c d" (double alt brings up a menu thingy, c for "copy tool," d for "disapproval")

ev3commander

there's not always a ready ಠ_ಠ face for me to copy

@ev3commander disapprovallook.com

Doorknob

Also found in the copy tool list: [z]ero width space, [l]enny, [t]ableflip, [s]hrug, [r]ickroll.

All of which are extremely useful, of course.

Doorknob

@ev3commander Keep the face in a text file.

Doorknob

set $copymenu "copy: (z)wsp  (d)isapproval  (l)enny  (t)ableflip  (s)hrug  (r)ickroll"

        bindsym l mode $launchmenu
        bindsym s mode $systemmenu
        bindsym c mode $copymenu

^ That's how I do it in i3. (Before some preprocessing with a script that I wrote.)

Alex A.

@ev3commander Bookmark it :P

I use tab complete on the user's name

@ then press tab until @ಠ_ಠ shows up, then remove the @.

Doorknob

Too many keystrokes. @<tab><tab><left><left><left><bs><end>. :P

Calvin's Hobbies

> I use tab - 1m ago by Alex A.

Doorknob

I don't think that was a full minute ago

ev3commander

02:11

ehh

Doorknob

And I use the tab key too, all the time

Alex A.

But it inserts spaces

quartata

@ev3commander Just type @, select @ಠ_ಠ and delete the at sign.

Alex A.

@quartata Literally just said that

Doorknob

@AlexA. Yes, and it also goes through browser input fields of course

Calvin's Hobbies

02:12

@Doorknob You'll end but you won't home?

quartata

@AlexA. Wait, what?

Oh. I didn't notice.

Alex A.

lal

ev3commander

too many strokes. @<movemouse><click><←><←><←><\b><\n>

Alex A.

@Doorknob What, you don't click each field and press "go" after typing? :P

Doorknob

@Calvin'sHobbies You're right; that's a char golfier :P (although I usually use <C-e> for end (and <C-a> for home) with a userscript because it's easier than reaching for the end key)

@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ

El'endia Starman

02:14

Uh...type @, tab once or twice, Ctrl+left arrow, backspace, enter.

@Calvin'sHobbies 1-0-0-0, in the strictest sense of the word "own." :P

There is a microwave in my house, though...

El'endia Starman

3-2-1-0. No kidding.

ev3commander

02:18

3-1-0-0

Doorknob

wait what did you just buy a game console like now

Alex A.

haha

Calvin's Hobbies

@El'endiaStarman No one chose car?

Alex A.

2-6-3-1

feersum

Game consoles are computers, so how could one own more game consoles?

SuperJedi224

02:19

Hi

El'endia Starman

@Calvin'sHobbies I'm saying how many of each I have.

Alex A.

@Calvin'sHobbies It's not the top of my list but I've owned more cars than computers.

Zgarb

2-6-1-0. :O

quartata

@Calvin'sHobbies This is tough...

You know what.

I believe I'm actually tied between computers and game consoles.

Geobits

strawpoll.me/6147235

quartata

Shit.

Alex A.

@ev3commander Currently installed?

ev3commander

Yes

Calvin's Hobbies

@quartata Gameboys and rasberry pi's can be compared next

Doorknob

@ev3commander Chromium, Firefox. Used to have Lynx but decided it was useless :P

quartata

02:21

@Calvin'sHobbies I've owned more Gameboys.

Doorknob

I have owned zero of each

Alex A.

@Doorknob I believe you mean Iceweasel.

ev3commander

At least someone has only 1

quartata

@AlexA. No, Lynx.

Doorknob

@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ

No, actual Firefox

Zgarb

02:22

Wait, do Gameboys count?

ev3commander

I used to have IE but didn't count it)

Zgarb

Then it's 2-7-1-0

ev3commander

and 360 secure browser (don't ask)

feersum

@Calvin'sHobbies I'm VTC your straw poll as unclear.

El'endia Starman

Chrome, Firefox, Edge, IE. In order of usage.

quartata

02:23

Counting portable consoles I've owned more game consoles than computers.

Zgarb

2-8-1-0 if you stretch the definition of 'own'

quartata

That's sad. I'm not even a console gamer anymore.

ev3commander

What nobody also has 6+ browsers

Alex A.

@ev3commander Yeah, what's the point?

El'endia Starman

^

Alex A.

02:23

It would make sense to me if I were a web dev or something

ev3commander

to be annoying

Doorknob

/^\^{3,4}$/

ev3commander

carrots are annoying

El'endia Starman

@ev3commander Easier and golfier than saying "I agree".

Doorknob

SE chat should have upvote and downvote buttons

ev3commander

02:24

↓

Doorknob

Miaou (a SE chat clone) does

ev3commander

I downvoted

Doorknob

They're useful

ev3commander

then use miaou

Doorknob

I do

Alex A.

02:25

@Doorknob This is cool :O

Is there a PPCG room?

Doorknob

No.

ev3commander

> Hello!

what

no nesting quotes

hey did someone just upvote one of my answers

or do I have a bad memory

because i thought i had 410 rep

Doorknob

Calvin's Hobbies

strawpoll.me/6147278

Doorknob

@Calvin'sHobbies hahahaha I like the last option

2

ev3commander

02:27

huh that was yesterday

Doorknob

But I would probably prefer the first.

Unless "accessories" == mice / stickers / other useless objects

Calvin's Hobbies

@Doorknob Nah. Hard drives, headphones, whatever

Doorknob

Headphones? What use are headphones? :P

Alex A.

$10k worth of computer mice?!?! Count me in!

ev3commander

strawpoll.me/6147298

Doorknob

02:30

@ev3commander fn main() { println!("Hello, World!"); }

Alex A.

Idk, that's a little rusty

Actorclavilis

main=putStrLn"Hello, World!"

Alex A.

-1 too Haskell

ev3commander

then choose the closest

Doorknob

There's no closest

Actorclavilis

02:31

also there's a disturbingly low number of HQ9+ fans huh

Doorknob

All of those are scripting languages :(

except for HQ9+ I guess

well... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TanMath

@ev3commander several python 3 fans!

Alex A.

#include <iostream>
int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello, World!";
    return 0;
}

ev3commander

yeah

Alex A.

@TanMath A lot of languages use that syntax.

ev3commander

02:32

@Doorknob print

Doorknob

@AlexA. << std::endl

TanMath

@AlexA. really? Like?

Doorknob

Perl

Alex A.

@Doorknob I don't need to end my lines

Doorknob

Ruby

Alex A.

02:32

R

Julia

TanMath

Oh

Actorclavilis

and if that's too Haskell, what about, import java.util.logging.Logger; public class MainApplication { private static void LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(MainApplication.class.getName); private static void Main(String[] args) { LOGGER.info("Hello, World!"); } }

ev3commander

strawpoll.me/6147328

I like how other is winning

Alex A.

Because the rest of the choices are bad

Calvin's Hobbies

I didn't even make strawpoll.me/6147345

Dennis

I really hate the elif keyword.

Calvin's Hobbies

What would you prefer?

Dennis

else if

Alex A.

What about Julia's elseif?

Calvin's Hobbies

But then it looks like the separate else and if tokens

Dennis

02:42

But that's exactly what it works like.

Holy crap! I just peeked at J's inverse of its Pi function:

3 : '(-(!-y"_)%1e_3&* !"0 D:1 ])^:_ <.&170^:(-:+)^.y' :.!

I don't even.

Alex A.

...wut

Zgarb

@Dennis Do you mean o.?

Dennis

No, Pi(z) = Gamma(z + 1).

AKA !.

Alex A.

Oh, that Pi.

@Doorknob I made a Meow. What neow?

Zgarb

Here's a custom R script out-performing a Mathematica builtin. :P codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/65406/32014

Doorknob

02:52

@AlexA. wat

Actorclavilis

How allowed is it to give Mathematica programs a 10,000% penalty?

Doorknob

@Dennis How do you feel about elsif?

Alex A.

@Actorclavilis 0% allowed

3

Doorknob

@AlexA. Oh I get it :P

Actorclavilis

:/

Dennis

02:52

@Doorknob else if is the only logical choice.

Actorclavilis

also wp @Flounderer

Dennis

Objectively.

Alex A.

Because you say so?

Actorclavilis

what about (case v (a ...) (b ...) ... )?

Doorknob

@Dennis That doesn't work in languages that don't allow stuff like if (foo) bar (languages that require braces / end keywords)

(Unless it's special cased, of course, but that can get ugly)

Dennis

02:54

Hm, good point. They should change everything else then.

Alex A.

ಠ_ಠ

feersum

If you used else if in Python, every case would have to be one indentation level deeper.

Doorknob

Stuff like that too, yeah (similar to {} and "end")

Alex A.

@Doorknob Miaou. Idk what do.

Doorknob

um

Dennis

02:55

@feersum Yes, that's what the interpreter keeps telling me.

Alex A.

ಠ_ಠ

quartata

Chat challenge.

Figure out what language this Hello, World program is in:

(utt.synth (Utterance Text ""))
(format t "Hello, World!")

Doorknob

@AlexA. dystroy.org/miaou/1216?PPCG

feersum

@quartata Foo

quartata

It's not Scheme.

@feersum Wait, really?

OK. I should clarify.

It can't output to STDERR.

You didn't say it has do anything in particular.

Q: Implement the Method of Finite Differences

The Method of Finite Differences is a technique used to find the next term in a sequence of numbers, given that the sequence is governed by consecutive values of a certain polynomial. Given a list of n terms, the Method will be able to determine the degree of the polynomial, which is a maximum of...

quartata

It's TPLQ. Sorry.

It does run in Foo but it outputs to stderr

feersum

Really? How is Foo altways the answer in that question then?

quartata

@feersum Because I don't think they banned STDERR output
