The Nineteenth Byte

@Dennis Yeah, it's a lot easier to reach than Esc and a little easier to reach than Ctrl (Ctrl+F requires twisting your hand, while Caps+F is just shifting your finger a single key over, for example).

Okay, idea: Esc is cancel edit, but if you edit the same message, your edit is restored. Seems like a reasonable compromise.

RikerW

3:09 AM

@El'endiaStarman I visited the page, but they aren't online?

El'endia Starman

Refresh.

Dennis

@Doorknob冰 Oh, that's nice. It would also be cool if submitting a message didn't nuke the edit history.

Doorknob 冰

@Dennis What do you mean?

Dennis

Apparently, that's not a thing.

Doorknob 冰

Er, what's not a thing?

Dennis

3:13 AM

I got confused. Clicking edit destroys the message you're currently typing, i.e., canceling the edit (or Ctrl+Z) does not get it back.

Doorknob 冰

Oh. Why would you try to edit something in the middle of typing a different message?

Dennis

I do that all the time.

I don't know why, but I do.

Alex A.

I do that too

Doorknob 冰

O_o

Alex A.

Sometimes I forget what I'm doing while I'm doing it

El'endia Starman

3:15 AM

I never do that...

Dennis

Another idea: a send lines button (or a shortcut like Ctrl+Enter) that sends all lines as separate chat posts.

El'endia Starman

I always Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X, edit other message, Ctrl+V, and continue.

Doorknob 冰

@Dennis Rate limit kills that idea

You can't post more than 2 messages in a row

Dennis

@Doorknob冰 Well, you could do it with a timeout. And preferably freeze chat before starting the sequence, if the user is a room owner. :P

Doorknob 冰

haha

Dennis

3:17 AM

@El'endiaStarman I do the same, except I usually forget the first two steps.

What was the rate limit anyway? One post per second?

Doorknob 冰

It's slightly complex

You can post two messages in quick succession, but then you start getting rate limited

And it's a "rolling" limit, not just "x per second"

Dennis

:(

If Markdown worked in multi-line post, we would not need such nonsense.

Alex A.

/me makes a Limp Bizkit reference

Doorknob 冰

Markdown works in multiline posts on Miaou ^.^

Dennis

Limp biscuit?

Doorknob 冰

3:19 AM

Also on Miaou, you can have text and a onebox in the same message

if you put them on separate lines

You can even have multiple oneboxes in one message

Alex A.

Stack Exchange should hire the Miaou guy to be a chat developer.

Dennis

Doorknob 冰

@AlexA. The Miaou guy is a SO user with... uh, at least 100k rep. :P

Alex A.

@Doorknob冰 Sure, but he isn't an employee. :P

FINALLY BEAT THE HELIOS BOT!!! 4-3

That's after multiple losses though...

Doorknob 冰

3:21 AM

@El'endiaStarman \o/

El'endia Starman

And two tied games, 3-3 and 4-4.

The winning strategy is mostly to try to make it hyperspace as often as possible. Orbiting the sun also seems to confuse it, which is hilarious.

Alex A.

Doorknob 冰

makes an esolang called ReplyButton

Alex A.

So that's what that button does

Doorknob 冰

That would actually be a sort-of-not-really-neat idea. An esolang based on chaining commands to reference one another.

Alex A.

3:24 AM

What do you mean to reference one another?

Dec 22 at 22:04, by Alex A.

brb making a chat bot called Fax Machine.

El'endia Starman

YUSS. Another win! 2-1. It was very nearly a 2-0 win though. :D

Doorknob 冰

@AlexA. oh, that's where the username came from

@AlexA. As in, a command is dependent on the entire chain of commands that it is a "reply" to (and the commands that "reply" to it). I dunno, not really a thought out idea at all. :P

Alex A.

So "BC" does something different than "ABC"?

Doorknob 冰

No, something like A \n :1 B \n :2 C (where B "replies" to A and C "replies" to B) is different than A \n :1 B \n :1 C or something.

Alex A.

If you implement another esolang (or rather when), that will be a good opportunity for you to learn Julia! :D

@Doorknob冰 :O

Doorknob 冰

3:26 AM

@AlexA. It would also be a good opportunity to polish up my Rust skills... :P
