The Nineteenth Byte

trichoplax

6:01 PM

@EasterlyIrk if you want to be a room owner, anyone can create a new room...

Easterly Irk

Yeah, but I want to be a TNB one.

I am already room owner a couple of other places.

trichoplax

Anyone can create a new The Nineteenth Byte (although that would be confusing)

El'endia Starman

This was a pretty interesting read: A Game of Clones: Video Game Litigation Illustrated.

@EasterlyIrk To be honest, from what I've seen, I think you're pretty unqualified to be a room owner in TNB.

Easterly Irk

I know.

El'endia Starman

Then why bother asking?

@trichoplax I was going to say Marky can't, but apparently he got 20 more rep yesterday :/

zyabin101

@trichoplax The Twenty-Second Byte? okay.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata It's not well-formalized, but the general idea is to generate a corrupted string of text. Given some text, insert errors into the program, e.g. (space) => 00100000 => random error => 00101000 => (

trichoplax

@Geobits Rep?? What and where has he been posting??

El'endia Starman

The Twenty-first Bite already exists.

@trichoplax He hasn't posted anything in a couple months. He just got a mysterious +20 yesterday. One upvote on each of two answers.

@quartata Oh.

quartata

Actually

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

quartata

Does it have to be random?

If not it could just be a lookup table.

trichoplax

@El'endiaStarman I know the one you mean - but it's non-mod only

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

That's the idea.

I guess maybe "invert the Nth bit of each char in an input string" could be something too
