And now, my OS.

AndrOS!

We should have meta post on hardcoding inputs with code challenges

Standard loophole?

@TùxCräftîñg vim --version does it say +multi_byte or -multi_byte

BTW @TùxCräftîñg you inspired a Meta post:

Q: Long user locations causes the "user page" to display weird

Earlier today, as I was settling into my daily morning routine of "Answer questions on meta while drinking coffee", I saw a strange bug on the user page. There is a huge block of whitespace through the middle of the users page! Link for the curious. I thought this was weird, but when I scroll...

bug users-page location

:D

TùxCräftîñg

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i live at Recursion depth exceded

6:02 PM

@Downgoat I like the idea of being able to change the test cases. Changed, thanks.

@betseg searching

It's not a big deal.

TùxCräftîñg

(more accurately greping)

You don't have to, I just thought some people might think that.

Stack Exchange is experiencing a brief outage for SQL 2016 CU1.

@TùxCräftîñg echo $TERM

Maybe it's the term that doesn't support unicode

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Actually, if you change it, it might be harder to repro.

Yeah.

< is stripped out

For that exact reason

TùxCräftîñg

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

6:15 PM

any know ruby well here?

@TùxCräftîñg he is Turkish...should I be worried?

4 answers, 4 invalid. this is going well.

@MartinEnder what question?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@TùxCräftîñg ey #13! lucky number :D

@betseg Integers, Assemble

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

6:21 PM

> When was the last time you've bent a brick? ;) I'll go clarify the challenge some more...

link for the interested

Time to try to post an Integers, Assemble! answer

@MartinEnder I think a "block based" approach, then introducing the integers part may have served you better

in terms of explaining the challenge?

yeah

hmm

6:25 PM

although, its really odd you got so many invalid answers, because I thought it was clear

maybe all of the builtup positive karma you got yesterday is resolving itself today :)

:D

@NathanMerrill speaking of that, i forgot to make an "Ender Day" proposal post >_>

somebody made an Ender's Game KoTH proposal, but I'm not sure if it'll end up happening

although, if we were going to make an ender's tribute post, it surely would need to involve regex

@Zgarb I think it might be useful to have a binary P as well (which also ignores both arguments): jellyfish.tryitonline.net/…

there also doesn't seem to be a way to detect EOF?

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@MartinEnder I was going to star that, but then I saw it had four stars, and it was just too perfect.

6:33 PM

@MartinEnder Possibly yes, that construct looks nice. Also yeah, there's no way to detect EOF. You just read lines and hope they're there.

haha okay

makes cat programs a bit tricky :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Zgarb your github username is iatorm?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Yes.

That's also my university web-ID.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

oh, cool

@Zgarb Does it comprise parts of your name?

6:36 PM

@MartinEnder Maybe I should add a function that reads X characters of input, or less if EOF is encountered... sometime later.

@flawr It does. First initial, second initial, first four letters of last name.

how do I read multiple lines of input with a single j?

oooh! I think I have the perfect tribute challenge :)

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ still looking for help?

@MartinEnder Use binary `\` for iteration. I forgot how exactly...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@ven kinda, ye. I'm wondering how to make an animation in ruby.

6:39 PM

@flawr users.utu.fi/iatorm

@MartinEnder you made Hexagony but you recommend Labyrinth to me? :P

@ven He made both

also yes

Ah! Obviously.

TùxCräftîñg

i am currently programming with VS, i think the file will be quickly flooded with is and vim commands

bah, I totally want to sandbox this challenge, but I also don't want Martin to see it

6:42 PM

@Zgarb I tried but always gives me the first line: jellyfish.tryitonline.net/…

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@TùxCräftîñg Essential VS plugin

I never leave home without it.

TùxCräftîñg

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan \o/

@NathanMerrill post it in the sandbox, but put the actual challenge body in a gist (with a link in the post; probably explaining why the post is weird), and I promise I won't look.

@NathanMerrill Dangit. My fancy-pants ETOAIN SRHDLU algorithm clocks in at 47032 :-/ (after taking somewhere close to three hours to run) ... I like your challenge, but man it's frustrating

@TimmyD lol. What does ETOAIN SRHDLU stand for?

6:44 PM

@NathanMerrill Frequency of letters in English

@Zgarb Turku! Nice=)

TFW Finding Dory will be rleeased on 2nd September in my country :(

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@TùxCräftîñg Actually, that plugin was really how I got addicted to vim. I used it for like 6 months before really using raw vim very much at all.

@TimmyD ah

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Martin Ender did you like the challenge I made in your honor?

6:45 PM

@betseg I think it's already been and gone in my country

I didn't have time to see it

._.

@TùxCräftîñg i can totally understand french. yes.

TùxCräftîñg

heh

the traduction is The installation program necessit up to 3GB on every drive

How do you say byte in French?

TùxCräftîñg

@BusinessCat octet

That makes sense. Go confused me

TùxCräftîñg

6:49 PM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Octet is a much better name than byte, what the hell is English doing?

@TùxCräftîñg what is bit in french

@MartinEnder Ahh, you're applying j to 1, so it reads one line and evals it. Then you feed that eval's line to the iterated p. You need to compose p and j, and iterate that.

TùxCräftîñg

@betseg bit

same thing

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@flawr my bad, I was trying to get it to pop up correctly

6:52 PM

@Zgarb I'm jealous that you can do your service at your own department=)

@flawr If you're older and educated when you do the service, you get to better places. I postponed it as long as I could.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Business Cat it is more for humor xD one bit of information one byte of information one nibble of information. etc..

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ i.e. Generate a gif?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@ven that, or have some updateable display

@BusinessCat octet exists in english as well ..:)

TùxCräftîñg

6:56 PM

one flaw with octet it's that the word octet design 8-bit

while byte is more general (eg: a 10-bit byte)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

dixtet?

TùxCräftîñg

ಠ_ಠ

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

what?

dectet isn't it?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

well, en francais, 10 est "dix"

TùxCräftîñg

6:58 PM

dectet is more accurate

Oui

TùxCräftîñg

and AFAIK the only 10-bit computers are from DEC

so DECtet is good

Maybe a general byte could be plutet or something.

It's "word".

Which btw translates to "mot" in french.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you mean français for sure :)

TùxCräftîñg

@ven you have changed your avatar?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

6:59 PM

@ven ahhhh pedantic
