@Drunkbits Will you change your avatar back to a downvote when you're sober?
 
@LeakyNun thanks, again
 
I'm not that drunk.
 
@JesterTran Anytime
 
4:02 AM
@Drunkbits oh, so you're not a drunkbyte yet?
 
@Upgoat No. I think you need eight drinks for that. If that's the case, I'm a drunknibble right now.
 
can a bunch of people please visit bloggoat? I want to test how well my changes handle lots of clients
 
@Upgoat How many people in a bunch? This chat room might not be able to supply enough
 
Come on SE, I can understand hard to fix errors but this one isn't that hard to categorize
@Adam It's been days and chat search is still not always working. Could this question at least not erroneously be tagged status-completed? — Helka Homba 1 min ago
 
Unfortunately, I have only two more in stock. It'll take a walk to the store to replenish soon.
 
4:05 AM
@trichoplax like >= 6 people
 
@HelkaHomba Isn't the omission of "the" intended?
 
@HelkaHomba Clearly we never say the.
 
@Upgoat There're just enough people active then
 
@LeakyNun Is it? That seems weird
 
> written by a (obviously real) goat
Should it be an to go with the parenthetical, or a to go with goat?
 
4:06 AM
@HelkaHomba Not really. Search engines often omit frequent words like "the" "and" so as to filter for the actual keywords
 
@LeakyNun I've searched the in chat before. If it omits it, then it's a new thing.
 
@LeakyNun It does seem to work for most longer/complex inputs
 
@HelkaHomba "the" has never worked, even before SE borked search
 
Ok, I guess it is working
@LeakyNun since that does get the (almost) most recent one

Q: My "keybore" is key-boring me! Help me find a minimal keystrokes

Leaky NunCredits to @Agawa001 for coming up with this question. Proof of ownership transfer. Explanation My new "keybore" only has 2 buttons, namely + and -. The number in the memory starts at 0. Each consecutive press of + or - will increment/decrement the memory for exactly how many times it has be...

 
@Drunkbits I think this is one of those refreshing instances where whichever you write will be heavily criticised
 
@trichoplax It's really hard to read in my mind the way it is :/
 
@Mego Yes. I'd vote anti-bloat always.
 
> I could go on in this vein. And I will, because it's fun!
Oh boy...
 
Cooking sites especially seem to be bloated which is weird since a recipe takes like 3 paragraphs.
 
4:14 AM
@Drunkbits You should try it the other way round, like an (government sponsored) assassin
 
@Upgoat saltvote = downvote without reason
 
@LeakyNun I was hoping to find something to downvote, and I ended up upvoting :/
 
@LeakyNun ? I didn't downvote
 
@Drunkbits written by a (definitely not fake) goat
 
4:15 AM
@Upgoat Alright alright
 
@Sp3000 Yea, I'd probably end up rewording it too. I was just curious what the actual rule (if there is one) is.
@Upgoat That hurts my eys.
 
Bitsy needs some name stabilization...
 
@Drunkbits yeah, lemme downvote it so it's easier on your eyes :P
 
Yeah, it's just another one of those situations I'd rather just avoid, like emotes ending parens asides
 
4:17 AM

@Sp3000 Oh yea, I hate that one (especially if it's done on purpose ;)

@HelkaHomba That's possible. I haven't inquired too deeply into my parents' past, but they were both in computer related fields.

How popular does a language have to be before it's worth making a room for it?
 
Anonymous
I just let Chrome do the magic for me
 
@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ idk, if there tends to be a lot of dicussion about it then make a room for it
 
@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Needs at least one person to want a room for it, although 2 makes more sense
 
I'm too lazy to tell Chrome to fix it for me.
 
@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ not really. Are you planning to mae a room for your language?
 
Anonymous
4:22 AM
@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Depends. Seriously was never very popular, but I created a room for it because I wanted a place to get feedback for it while it was under development.
 
@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Alternatively, if it's unpopular enough that nobody wants to see it in main.... :P
 
@LeakyNun I'm not planning on it yet, but I'm really excited right now since dennis put it on TIO.
 
I'm just surprised that there's no room for J
 
Making a room is a great way to make a language seem more official
 
Is it against Digitalocean's ToS to DDoS your own website to test how well it stands up to it?

@Mego You seem like a whiskey kind of person.
Don't ask why.
 
@Drunkbits Cava de Oro tequila blanco
 
Anonymous
@Drunkbits You are correct, but I don't know what I want with the whiskey. I usually don't drink straight whiskey.
 
@AlexA. I'm fairly certain the Circle K near my house doesn't have that. And I'm not driving anywhere better ;)
 
@Drunkbits unfortunately the cashier always refuses to sell alcohol to a goat ;_;
 
4:27 AM
@Drunkbits If you're not going to drink it when you're drunk, when are you going to?
 
@Mego ಠ_ಠ
 
That seems like a wise decision. ^^^^
 
Straight whiskey is best whiskey
 
@Mego I'm a fan of whiskey with ginger ale, but it's not everyone that keeps that in the house.
 
Why would you mix it with anything?
Oh yeah, it's fine with ginger ale
 
4:28 AM
@trichoplax Uh, when I'm way more drunk than this. My taste buds still work.
 
haha
Use the Bacardi to make a rum frosting for cupcakes
 
It wouldn't be bad terrible with a proper mixer, but all I have is some blue raspberry kool-aid, so no.

Something like that, yes.

@Drunkbits I don't have any ginger ale, unfortunately. That sounds delicious though, so I might pick some up.

@Drunkbits That and vodka would probably be delicious.
 
That's definitely false. Nothing can salvage Kool-Aid.
 
@Mego You could substitute water and slices of fresh ginger
 
@Mego Probably. I'm still unreasonably hesitant of vodka due to an incident ~15 years ago :/
 
Anonymous
4:31 AM
Actually, you know what? Forget the kool-aid and just have the vodka.
 
@Mego No, that pretty much describes the incident.

I once had a drink that was ginger ale, whiskey, absinthe, and a little bit of pickled ginger on top. Fantastic.

Those things soaked in vodka are outstanding and a great way to accidentally get shitfaced
 
@Mego Like jelly beans or gummy bears but somewhat softer. If you drop them into a spirit they slowly dissolve
 
@Drunkbits What do you mean? It's just an anise liqueur. Rounded out the taste nicely.
 
@AlexA. Sure, but it sounds much better withouut it.
 
@Mego Not quite a mixer but the nearest I could think of...
 
Anonymous
4:35 AM
Well, by "we have gummy bears", I mean "gummy bears exist here", not "I own some at this moment"
 
@Drunkbits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I got it at a bar and it was just from the menu. It ended up quite good.
 
@Drunkbits 100% - that settles it
 
@AlexA. Hmm. Dammit, now I'm gonna have to end up trying this.
 
@Mego Ah...

@AlexA. No, mango punch is ridiculously good. I'm just not sure how well it will go with rum.

I feel like mango is too sweet for rum to go well with it; it'd just be super sweet.

Well there goes that idea...
 
@Mego the bytecounter locks up the tab it's opened in and the tab itself
@Drunkbits are you hungry?
 
5:01 AM
Thirsty is more like it.
 
don't you have tap water?
 
:/
 
or does your body require alcohol
 
At the moment it does ;)
 
how old were you again?
 
5:02 AM
Old enough that I don't often get carded.
 
so... 40

@HelkaHomba Define "innocuous"?

@LeakyNun Still would like a test case with at least 5 +/- runs, but there's some for now

For anyone interested, rum and mango punch is not worth it at all. Find something else.

Try vodka
 
I would if a) I had vodka or b) the store was open
All I can do at this point is strongly recommend against mixing it with rum.
 
@Drunkbits Told ya
 
I was hoping you wouldn't see that >_>
 
I see all
 
As bad as it is, I'm pretty sure it's better than the kool-aid would've been.
 
5:39 AM
@Sp3000 Have you checked my pastebin?
 
I'm sure you're right
 
@LeakyNun The counts, yes. Not the strings though
 
The counts correspond to the strings
so I believe there isn't problem
 
Hmm you need to go surprisingly high before you get a solution which needs 5 runs... haven't hit one yet
 
Presumably of the form -++++++++++++++++-++++-
/^-\++-\++-$/
 
5:48 AM
I was thinking the inverse, so start/end with plusses instead, but we'll see
No, the +++++++++-+++++-+++ version
 
6:11 AM
I guess all I need now are six hands and eight strings :/
 
Hmm, I've never tried a banjo. Always felt it was a bit too Deliverance. Mandolin is fun, though it's murder on the fingers.
 
+1 for rob scallon. He's one of my favorite youtubes.
 
@Drunkbits Dueling Banjos is my dad's ringtone when his sister calls
 
Haha, must be an interesting sister.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Yeah, that dude is the best.
 
You should check out Jared dines. He's really similar to Rob.
 
@Drunkbits I just watched this. It's amazing.
 
It really is. I need to get me an electric shovel.
 
Apparently it was made by a guy who runs a channel called "I like to make stuff."

I guess the only hard part would be choosing a pickup and getting it placed right.
 
@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ I've seen a bit of his stuff before. Is good.
 
Well and actually being good with it. I struggle enough with six strings :P
Though it looks like a standard humbucker.

hey guys, do you know if it's possible to force chromium to always use a separate process for each tab? or if not, is there another browser that does it?
 
Also lol at "somewhat impressive"

Once you've seen a hundred guitar god videos, the 101st isn't nearly as impressive

@aditsu Chrome does that, so I'd expect Chromium does also
 
@Mego it often merges multiple tabs into one process when it feels like it
and then they all crash together :/
 
Anonymous
6:49 AM
I've never had that happen in Chrome
 
it's happening quite often.. well, the fact that I tend to have over 50 tabs may also contribute to that :p
 
@Mego I don't see where his playing is sloppy. His live rendition in the video sounds remarkably similar to that on the album; sounds like it he didn't miss a note.
