I may have to make a custom CSS sheet if I'm going to keep using SE chat

undergroundmonorail

cascading style sheet sheet

quartata

@undergroundmonorail Now the "cascading" part makes sense

Cyoce

Well we all know the C in CSS stands for CSS ...

BrainSteel

GNU's Not Unix!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:02

@Cyoce o.o

Cyoce

@undergroundmonorail Technically CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets" so, it's Cascading Style Sheets Sheet (a sheet of the sheets)

undergroundmonorail

but what if you only have 1 css

checkmate

BrainSteel

There is only one true css

One CSS to rule them all, One CSS to find them, One CSS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

Martin Büttner

@undergroundmonorail uh what

BrainSteel

I like your scarf too.

Cyoce

20:07

my preCiouSS

undergroundmonorail

@MartinBüttner cool scarf

Martin Büttner

right.

undergroundmonorail

listen i'm sorry you got caught up in all this silliness

Martin Büttner

thanks.

undergroundmonorail

that's my bad

Exit is latin for exit. Try it on the online interpreter!

@BrainSteel In the land of Zen Garden, where the styles lie. One CSS...to rule them ALL.

Side note: Google suggested searches for "lenny" include (in order) "lenny face," "lenny kravitz," "lenny letter," and "lenny kravitz pants rip."

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I don't know who he is, but I now immediately feel sorry for this Lenny Kravitz fella.

@AlexA. Oh god I just looked up that last one

Alex A.

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

@quartata Why would you but also what was it

Adriandmen

@Cyoce That made me laugh a bit too hard haha

BrainSteel

@AlexA. Oh, it's that guy.

Alex A.

20:16

Haha yes indeed

quartata

@BrainSteel use reply function pls

my eyes hurt

BrainSteel

That involves using a trackpad. Much slower.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

uhhhhhh

Isn't this invalid?

@AlexA. I don't want to say since some people here are at work and stuff

Google it yourself

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

"Hardcoding the output"?

Alex A.

20:18

@BrainSteel Doorknob has a GitHub repo for SE chat keyboard shortcuts, including replies.

quartata

if you dare

Alex A.

@quartata I'll pass.

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Shower it in downvotes if you don't like it

@AlexA. Good idea.

I just said upvotes instead of downvotes

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata I was wondering XD

quartata

I'm in a positive mood I guess.

Alex A.

20:19

How it had +1/-0 is beyond me.

quartata

@AlexA. Did it really?

El'endia Starman

had being the operative word

Now it's +1/-4.

undergroundmonorail

it almost feels mean

but you know

bombs away

El'endia Starman

And all those downvotes came within like 4 minutes.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

As an aside, that was my first downvote. \o/

Alex A.

20:20

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Ever?

ಠ_ಠ

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

My first permanent downvote.

I think

BrainSteel

@AlexA. Link?

Alex A.

@BrainSteel Aw look at that, you replied. <3

BrainSteel

It pained me.

undergroundmonorail

christ

you weren't kidding

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:21

Is that me?

undergroundmonorail

yeah

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^_^

I'm a nice person.

Alex A.

Downvotes aren't about being mean, they're about maintaining site quality.

quartata

undergroundmonorail

^^

quartata

20:22

Don't be afraid to downvote.

Alex A.

That's me

I'm surprised there are only 470.

undergroundmonorail

i don't vote enough

Alex A.

For real

quartata

Does that show downvotes on deleted posts?

Alex A.

I don't think so

quartata

20:23

Almost all of my downvotes are on deleted posts

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. I think I'll spend another downvote to make my score a multiple of ten ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Adriandmen

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

undergroundmonorail

good try

Alex A.

@Adriandmen Gotta escape the backslash

BrainSteel

I'm on 3 down.

undergroundmonorail

hey @Geobits

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@BrainSteel \o/

undergroundmonorail

this is a conversation you'd win

Alex A.

20:26

I actually think Peter Taylor has downvoted more than Geobits.

undergroundmonorail

oh

Alex A.

They're comparable IIRC though.

quartata

Chat mini-challenge (?). Given a natural number n graph a rose with n petals

I was thinking of making a full challenge out of this

Alex A.

graphical-output?

Or some kind of ascii-art?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata do it

quartata

20:27

@AlexA. Yes, graphical output.

I'm not a huge fan of graphical-output challenges usually since they eliminate a lot of languages

Alex A.

Same

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata I have a 13 bytes solution ^_^

Alex A.

Geobits

quartata

@AlexA. holy shit

Alex A.

Peter Taylor

quartata

20:30

He does downvote more than he upvotes

undergroundmonorail

sometimes you can smell a picture

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You do?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata Yeah.

quartata

Can we see it?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata Desmos

20:31

Is there an online prototyping environment for tmLanguage definitions? Editing them without an instant preview is a PITA.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I'm good, I know.

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ k petals

2n petals if n is even, and
n petals if n is odd.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata but k is a natural number

Alex A.

@quartata Geobits is at about 48.1% upvotes, Peter is at 46.3%.

(percent of total votes)

Cyoce

They need to add chat to the SE app

Alex A.

20:39

AFAIK they're working on providing an improved mobile chat experience.

Cyoce

The bird has spoken

undergroundmonorail

i thought that said "the bird is broken" and i was concerned

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ So if the input is even you need to graph cos(n/2 theta) and cos(n theta) if it is odd

Otherwise it is double the petals when even

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata oh

darn

quartata

Desmos has modulo so shouldn't be too tricky to fix :)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:44

Yeah, but mod\left(x,2\right)

Alex A.

JavaScript people: What's the difference between defining functions like function f(x) and var f = function(x)?

undergroundmonorail

i'm not a javascript person but i think one is sugar for the other

Alex A.

I've seen code which uses both.

I feel like if they were functionally equivalent, one wouldn't use both in a script.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. The former is a unary named function, and the latter can be an unnamed or dual-named function

Alex A.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ What is a dual-named function?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:58

Also, the latter is declared only in the current scope

@AlexA. You have the reference name, and the property name.

Alex A.

Does the former declare globally?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

var f = function car(x){} has f.name == "car"

wait gimme a second

Alex A.

Second granted

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

nevermind

they're both current scope defined

Alex A.

So then the difference is just that the latter has a .name property?

Dennis

21:02

@AlexA. With the var, there's no big difference. Without, you can modify a global function. jsfiddle.net/5y9yukhu

Alex A.

@Dennis Oh interesting. Thanks.

And thank you too, @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. No problem ^_^ All I can do for you teaching me some R

Alex A.

I taught you some R? o_O

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I think so?

Alex A.

Ohhhh CoderPad, right?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

21:05

Yeah!

The only R code you'll ever need to know

How to make 10% of all addition operations off by 1

El'endia Starman

Can you make that recursive?

So you have a 1% chance of addition being off by 2...

And a 0.1% chance of it being off by 3...

quartata

^

El'endia Starman

Actually, the percentages would be 9%, 0.9%, 0.09%, etc.

quartata

That could make a good challenge

El'endia Starman

21:07

> Bork your language's addition functionality

quartata

APL would win of course but still

@El'endiaStarman I was thinking more like just make a function

They're watching us

Gettin' a little happy with the stars there.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I'm all out.

o-o

wat just happened

BrainSteel

Something something robot overlords...

PhiNotPi

21:21

It looks like it updates every 10 minutes

LegionMammal978

How do you post in it?

Dennis

You can't. It's a gallery.

Alex A.

Moderators and employees post in it but regular users can't.

There isn't really a reason for anyone to post there anyway.

Dennis

Room owners too.

Alex A.

Oh really?

Dennis

21:25

That's the whole reason to have a gallery. They just can't keep us out, no matter how hard they try.

"large margin"

Hi

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

salut

Martin Büttner

there we go.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

21:41

@MartinBüttner whyyyyyyyyy

;-;

Don't you have enough rep? XD

Cyoce

CJam cares too much about readability

Martin Büttner

@Cyoce that's why it's a beautiful language

El'endia Starman

@LegionMammal978 Pretty sure there was an option to not install games with Win 10.

Cyoce

@MartinBüttner but it should be the last concern in a golfing language...

El'endia Starman

But, aside from that, why wouldn't Microsoft include Candy Crush? It is a popular game...

Martin Büttner

21:46

@Cyoce I'm very glad that CJam doesn't want to squeeze out every last byte at the price of usability, because I'm actually using it a lot outside of golfing.

(which I wouldn't, if the source code had to contain unprintables or stuff like that)

Cyoce

Really? I can't imagine it used in production code

Also, what I mean is that it uses two-letter names for functions to make it more clear what they do, while they haven't used all the one letter.

Martin Büttner

@Cyoce obviously not for "production code"

it's a great language to write simple throw-away scripts in, though

Cyoce

Ok

Martin Büttner

for very simple computational tasks, typing speed is actually the bottleneck.

Alex A.

@quartata Are you actually going to call it that? XD

quartata

21:49

Call what?

I cannot see replies on mobile.

Alex A.

@quartata Call your mother right now young man

@quartata Are you actually going to call your post about addition "Alex-style addition"?

quartata

Yes absolutely

Alex A.

ಠ_ಠ

quartata

Mayb addition a la Alex

Alex A.

That makes no cents.

quartata

21:52

You'll love the intro I have written for this challenge

Alex A.

...I have a feeling I won't.

quartata

@AlexA. Ohh good catch. It should be addition au Alex.

Alex A.

Even fewer cents are coming out of the register now.

quartata

Yes, it all makes cents when you explain it like that.
