The Nineteenth Byte

I don't think it matters that much as long as the OP is consistent when referring to them.

so... if we drop back below 10q/d, we get back the beta tag?

Martin Büttner

no, we'll be shut down then.

Doorknob

Graduation, fortunately, is permanent

Optimizer

@MartinBüttner ah, seems more logical.

zyabin101

6:01 PM

Also, the room is so full so you have to click the sidebar keeper ellipsis to see the remainder.

Geobits

So this is gamma status, right? After beta and before design (which I assume is delta)?

Optimizer

so what all exactly changed as of now? I see the beta thing removed

zyabin101

@MartinBüttner I don't think so.

Doorknob

@zyabin101 . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke

zyabin101

A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh... It takes the form of... zzz...

Nathan Merrill

@trichoplax that was a pretty drastic edit

Doorknob

haha

trichoplax

@NathanMerrill lol yes I forgot to press copy before I pressed paste :(

Thankfully it wasn't anything confidential...

Nathan Merrill

anybody want to paste their private key?

Doorknob

@trichoplax I remember accidentally oneboxing a TL message on my first or second day >_<

zyabin101

6:05 PM

@NathanMerrill No, and if they do, they'll be frozen out of chat. No warnings.

Well crap. SE had to go and ruin it by actually graduating us. — Geobits 15 mins ago

Optimizer

so.. from now on we actually believe what Geobits says?

trichoplax

Well, it did turn out to be true...

Doorknob

Yeah, if you consider February to be November

TimmyD

6:08 PM

@Optimizer geobits-is-not-alex

Optimizer

well, I think I spread the November date.. not sure though

Nathan Merrill

@Doorknob what is a TL message (google isn't helping)

Doorknob

TL is a secret room that may or may not exist

El'endia Starman

trichoplax

I don't believe in it myself

TimmyD

6:10 PM

I mean, if there really was a secret room, the powers in charge would tell us, right?

Geobits

@Doorknob I clearly said February:

1 hour ago, by Geobits

Ha! February 23rd, just like I've been saying all along.

zyabin101

@Doorknob The l--- bzzzzz spoiler!

El'endia Starman

If there were such a thing as TL, I never saw it.

trichoplax

@TimmyD That word, I do not think it means what you think it means

Alex A.

@MartinBüttner I considered doing that but was decidedly too lazy to freehand a circle

@El'endiaStarman I think it means Totally Lewd. It's not for the faint of heart.

Geobits

6:12 PM

I thought it was Two Lips?

trichoplax

@AlexA. And there was me thinking that alex-is-wrong was referring to incorrectness ;)

Geobits

Or maybe Twerking Larry.

zyabin101

Note for those not in the know: Quill moved to some other area in their house.

Or maybe The L--- bzzzzz spoiler!

trichoplax

@zyabin101 So we've established that the first word is "The"?

Geobits

If you want to be alex about it.

Alex A.

6:14 PM

@trichoplax ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

zyabin101

@trichoplax Almost every secret room has "The" in it.

Alex A.

@Geobits ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

zyabin101

Geobits

@AlexA. Have you met Larry? Trust me, even Lenny doesn't want to see that.

Q: Follow incomplete directions

A friend of yours has given you directions to the best restaurant in town. It's a series of left and right turns. Unfortunately, they forgot to mention for how long you need to go straight ahead between those turns. Luckily you have a street map with all the restaurants on it. Maybe you can figur...

Alex A.

@Geobits ( ͡X_ʖ ͡X)

zyabin101

@AlexA. You broke the sequence! X_X

Geobits

Dead Lenny is still Lenny.

Alex A.

All ~~good things~~ Lenny sequences must come to an end.

Optimizer

6:16 PM

wasn't Lenny a girl?

a playboy model?

zyabin101

@Geobits It's a different emote. We weren't repeating ( ͡X_ʖ ͡X) all the time.

El'endia Starman

@Optimizer I think you're thinking of Lena, a common image processing subject. In which case, yes.

Geobits

@zyabin101 How long did you expect that to last? I can only see so much lenny without my flagging finger twitching ;)

Optimizer

oh right

never got to ask her name

zyabin101

@Geobits Of course not long.

Optimizer

6:18 PM

so... graduation huh? Now that we've graduated, lets farm flag others' stackeggs..

zyabin101

@Optimizer It's not 1st April.

Geobits

Better watch out, you'll get chat-banned.

@zyabin101 Are you sure?

zyabin101

@Geobits It's 2016-02-23, so I'm sure.

Geobits

I think you need to check your clock/calendar again.

zyabin101

But no one said that you can't play StackEgg anytime.

Geobits

6:20 PM

Just keep checking. Eventually it'll say it's April 1st.

zyabin101

@Geobits I know.

Optimizer

@zyabin101 oh right, its November...

zyabin101

El'endia Starman

@Geobits You could even watch the clock/calendar and it'll magically turn into April 1st!

@MartinBüttner wrong one

Martin Büttner

nah, close enough

zyabin101

@MartinBüttner :D

Optimizer

so, when is your modship taken away?

and when are we gonna elect "Real Mods"?

El'endia Starman

6:23 PM

If he's elected, never.

zyabin101

@Optimizer Soon, as the official graduation post says.

Optimizer

oh, 6 to 8 weeks, got it

mınxomaτ

What? Graduation?

Martin Büttner

@mınxomaτ that was clearly fake... you didn't hard-delete it, so I'm pretty sure you fetched it from the trash right after taking the screencap :P

mınxomaτ

@MartinBüttner I disabled the recycle bin long ago. Everything is deleted instantly.

-1 for having a folder of memes ready to post. Live life in the moment :P

ETHproductions

Nooooo!!! We're already at graduation, and I'm only at 9.9k! D:

Geobits

Privileges aren't raised yet.

Aqua Tart

@ETHproductions The privileges won't increase until we get our design.

Geobits

6:30 PM

This "graduation" seems to essentially be "Oh, let's just remove the word beta from the title".

mınxomaτ

@Geobits I made the meme about your bot JIT :P

ETHproductions

I had set a goal to get to 10k before we graduated though :(

Geobits

Goal FAILED. Insert 25 cents to continue.

Anonymous

We did it!

Aqua Tart

@ETHproductions Eh

Martin Büttner

6:33 PM

@Geobits It encompasses both removing the beta label and a free opportunity for us mods to deal with our personal insecurities while we worry whether we'll be re-elected.

Roujo

I guess I missed something... I read about StackEgg, but I haven't found why I could get banned because of it. Isn't the event over?

Geobits

@MartinBüttner Oh true, I forgot about that :P

Aqua Tart

@Roujo StackEgg was a lonngggg time ago

And you couldn't get "banned" over it

Geobits

Well, we did have at least a couple users get chat-suspended, if not outright banned.

Aqua Tart

Wait, really?

Roujo

6:34 PM

@Geobits Yeah, I was referring to your comment to that effect higher up

zyabin101

My first edit of not own post. :)

Aqua Tart

I... did not know that.

Geobits

@AquaTart Yea, people started flagging posts talking about it in here.

Aqua Tart

@Geobits rofl k

Optimizer

@Geobits "for now (TM)"

@AquaTart i was chat banned for saying "hi"

Alex A.

6:35 PM

Seriously?

Optimizer

2 times

Alex A.

Brutal

Optimizer

@AlexA. well, I said other things too including "hi" to some newly entered user. none of which deserved flagging

Roujo

So why would people end up getting banned for talking about an old event?

Alex A.

Hm, that's different than saying hi. :P

Geobits

6:36 PM

I forget who else got flagged up a lot, but I know there was at least one other person.

@Roujo Because running joke, that's all.

Martin Büttner

@Geobits Rainbolt I think

Optimizer

and one more

Roujo

@Geobits Oh, okay =P

hahahahaha the "you're graduating" post got a downvote

Martin Büttner

someone from CR must have seen it

@Quill ಠ_ಠ

Geobits

Wasn't me!

See now I actually have a dilemma to look forward to: When we get the design, do I change my avatar to match? I really like it as is :/

Martin Büttner

maybe you'll like the new one too?

Geobits

6:43 PM

Maybe...

Alex A.

Maybe they'll keep the same voting buttons as a tribute to you.

Martin Büttner

only the downvote button

Geobits

I don't particularly like the one proposed and used in the userscript, for instance.

Martin Büttner

the upvote button will be new and shiny

the downvote button will be Geobits

Geobits

:D

Alex A.

6:44 PM

Every time you downvote it links you to his profile

The downvote tooltip should say "Channel your inner Geobits"

Geobits

I'd have to add a welcome message if it did. "Hi! I see you've downvoted. Thank you for your dedication in sorting the trash. Welcome to the club!"

Something like that anyway. I'll polish it up later.

Alex A.

you've totally misunderstood this site. Things around here should be short and small. — Simon Forsberg 7 mins ago

Geobits

That's what she... oh wait.

Alex A.

Code Review moderator shows up, downvote on the post. SUSPICION ENSUES

@Geobits Quite honestly there aren't that many things I do like on the userscript.

@Gareth Hey, guess what! We graduated!

Gareth

Yes, I just saw the post. :-)

Dennis

6:54 PM

TIL that TIO supports null bytes.

Alex A.

@Gareth As a member of the site for just a month shy of 5 years, how does it feel?

zyabin101

@Dennis You should make a button to add a null byte into clipboard (or code).

Gareth

@AlexA. I honestly never thought I'd see the day.

Dennis

@zyabin101 Null byte into clipboard would be useless. The OS would still mess it up.

Simon Forsberg

@AlexA. No harm meant.

Alex A.

6:56 PM

@SimonForsberg It was just a joke. :D

Simon Forsberg

Congratulations on your graduation. Really. I know what it feels like to wait for several years to see your site graduating.

Alex A.

Thank you very much!

You should participate in some more code golf. It'll give you a break from writing good code all the time.

Dennis

Short code is best code.

Geobits

@AlexA. Are you insinuating golfed!=good? Down with Alex!!!

Hosch250

Short code is often buggy code.

Alex A.

6:58 PM

Nah

Geobits

To be fair, I've seen plenty of long buggy code, too ;)
