creaqting a gpg key
this text makes entropy
 
I can't find a conflict ;_
 
1:13 PM
mooore entropyyyyy
 
help
can someone find a conflict ;_
 
langtons ant with >2 ants have 'reversible' patterns
 
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
it hung
 
@betseg Yeah you need more random bytes
 
@ASCII-only find / -exec cat {} \; & find / -exec file {} \;
isnt this enough
 
1:22 PM
@betseg What is your favourite game? :3
 
@zyabin101 cli or gui? pc or mobile? or physical game? wat u mean dude
 
CLI game for PC.
or GUI
 
i lyk tetris
 
for me it's NH
wow
 
> You've already voted to delete this post.
Oh.
 
1:24 PM
@betseg Try playing it and watching the GPG key generator.
 
Aww...
Now publish it on a key server.
To be exact, a certificate server.
Oh, look, pgp.mit.edu
 
halp how do i keep the same key across computers
copy .gpg and encrypt it with gpg?
 
Just send it to the certificate server, and download the key from the server to other PCs.
 
not public key, private key
 
1:28 PM
Uhh, idk then :/
 
create a second key, the only one knows the public key is me, then tar -cfO - .gnupg | gpg -as -u 0xDEADBEEF -o gnupg.tar.gz.gpg

?
 
I find it remarkable how there's clearly a sort of Law of Large Numbers going on.
@betseg Click "Run".
Ctrl+F5 and then click "Run" again if that doesn't work.
 
1:42 PM
What's the length distribution look like, though?
 
@PhiNotPi You mean counting characters instead of words?
 
I mean counting words, but looking at the actual probability distribution.
 
@El'endiaStarman nope still no line graph
oh ok there is a graph now
 
@PhiNotPi Hmm. That'd require a different kind of graph. Maybe something akin to how GitHub graphs your number of contributions over time?
 
Maybe, use "time" as one of the inputs, and it simply graphs the distribution for that particular day.
Then we can figure out some statiscal model for message length: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
 
1:48 PM
@PhiNotPi Alright, I'll pick yesterday for that.
 
bbaacckk
 
@PhiNotPi Ta-da!
Also, I realized that it's perfectly fine to aggregate this kind of data over a longer period of time if the variations aren't too extreme. This is the same graph for the whole of 2016 (so far). (updated) Wow. That's a nice curve.
 
What's up with the x-axis? It's showing 0 - 0.600
 
@PhiNotPi That's because I neglected to change it from scaleTime to scaleLinear.
 
oh wow, that means there's a "600 word" message
 
2:00 PM
@PhiNotPi It's actually 603
 
@PhiNotPi Oneboxes and code blocks, apparently. (now with links to messages)
 
> 376 <pre class="full">console.log("404 Not Found");" ";</pre>
How is that 376 words
 
Jul 20 at 2:31, by charredgrass
console.log("404 Not Found");"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    ";
Try highlighting the area to the right of the first line.
See, I approximate the number of words by how many spaces there are. Of course there will be outliers.
 
Oh, looked like a lot less in TNBDE
 
The lowest wordinesss in 2014 is 01-13, with 5 words exactly on average of ... 1 message. ._.
Jan 13 '14 at 15:13, by ardnew
terriffic, thanks a lot @Gareth
 
2:06 PM
@ASCII-only Yeah, if you change content in the first line to content as content_rendered, you'll be able to see and highlight those spaces.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Kevin CruijssenYes, of course I'm an adult! code-golfarithmetic I think we've all done this as a kid: some websites require a minimum age of 18, so we just add a few years to the year of birth and voila, we 'are' 18+. In addition, for most rides at amusement parks the minimum height to enter is 1.40 meters (h...

 
@PhiNotPi: Oneboxes and code blocks are excluded from this one: ppcg.starmaninnovations.com/tnbde/#ZUPBauRTnO
 
@El'endiaStarman cool. Sometime I need to figure out what distribution this follows. It looks like there's a weird bump on the side of the peak.
 
@PhiNotPi Yeah, and I'll bet that's because you can't communicate very much with only a few words, but people don't like writing long messages (since the conversation in here kinda approximates casual conversation to some extent), so that bump would be at the sweet spot of saying something but not a lot.
For instance, take a look at my wordiness distribution. The peak is at 6 words per message.
So is yours, in fact.
On the other hand, zyabin's distribution peaks at 2 words per message and Tux peaks at 1 word per message.
 
TODO: group users into categories based on their message lengths.
 
cries as he sees not-so-much compromate on himself, a warm towel covering his head
 
What does the average wordiness per day graph look like now? (that you've excluded code blocks)
 
Huh. My graph is pretty different. It's a slow gradual decline. I don't feel like I say that many one-word responses, though?
 
@ASCII-only Good idea on improving the wordiness calculation.
 
2:30 PM
Looks like I really need to try and stop using two-word messages
 
@PhiNotPi After that and with ASCII-only's change....not very different.
 
Oh wait, I just realized that the "peak" wordiness might be totally different than average wordiness.
I have to leave to do HW, bye for "now."
 
First answer in sed with TIO!
0
A: Substring Chainification

seshoumaraGNU sed, 55 + 2(rn flags) = 57 bytes 1H;1d;G;:;s=.(\n.*)\n(.)=\1\2\n=;t;s=.==;P;s=[^\n]*==;h The input string should be on the first line and the numbers on separate lines after that. I use unary format based on this consensus. Try it online! (thanks to @Dennis for adding sed)

 
The red line is the old wordiness metric, the black line is the new one.
"What red line?" Exactly.
To be fair, there are actually a few peaks that basically got chopped down a bit, but not much else besides that happened.
Which makes sense. A spurious 400-word message that should be counted as 10 words doesn't make a whole lot of difference when the total for that day is in the ten thousands.
 
Looks like wordiness has decreased over time (also, would you mind screenshotting a graph with the past month or two? I'd like to see if there are any periodic trends)
 
2:38 PM
Theorem: as the Chattiquette come nearer, the spaceyness come lower.
Soon, due to it, the spaceyness will come at 2-3 per week.
As such, the Chattiquette is very slowly suffocating discourse out of the room.
EOTh.
(And yes, wordiness = spaceyness, as it is measured by amount of spaces.)
 
I wonder if it's possible to find the most common topic for chat over a period of time (I'd guess a simple way to do it would be to count words, filtering out conjunctions etc), maybe that would give an indication as to why wordiness is decreasing
 
I think wordiness is decreasing because we're getting more users that use fewer words.
 
@zyabin101 More users in general results in less words per message, due to spam and rapid-fire nonsense, and would be worse without some form of chatiquette.
 
If any form of rules and guidelines would exist, there instead would be more spam and rapid-fire gobbledegook.
 
@zyabin101 Maybe, maybe not, but in either case, the messages get Trashed.
 
2:45 PM
Uh, what? You're saying chatiquette causes crap by existing?
 
take a look at the honorable mention
 
@El'endiaStarman Maybe, but I thought most of those joined after the start of this year, it looks like the two largest decreases are late 2014 and late 2015
 
@El'endiaStarman and in the case spam gets moved to trash, people get moved to trash and angered A LOT.
 
@zyabin101 It seems to me like you're the only one that gets angered by it.
 
2:46 PM
@TùxCräftîñg Make that 1338, when someone finds out this video is bad.
But not me. :P
 
@NathanMerrill 4 stars in "fun to use" for Javascript?!
 
My computer is dumb right now.
It just wanted to shut down.
When I only booted it up.
It seems like it wants to die, rather than live.
 
Mine peaks at 7 words
also, I've got this weird spike
45	7
46	13
47	11
48	2
49	3
 
My peak is at 7, but it's not a really sharp one: ppcg.starmaninnovations.com/tnbde/#YuFuKtmCSn
 
you've also got a dip at 8 words
 
2:54 PM
Well yeah. Eight words is bad luck, right?
 
actually, how different are the "wordiness" graphs and the character count graphs?
I mean, if you've prone to say a lot of words, you might also be prone to saying longer words
 
Average wordiness from March 19 to September 19, 2016. Note that I added an extra data point at the end in order to force the y-axis to start at 0. Also, the first draft of Chatiquette was posted in chat on June 10.
 
June 10, 2016: Everyone gets embarassed by new Chattiquette.
 
@zyabin101 Stop making false generalizations based on what you think.
 
What exactly do you have against the chatiquette?

Q: A Mouse with Dynamite

TimmyDYou're a mouse. Your mouse friends have all been captured, and are unconscious and trapped in a maze that has only one entrance/exit. You happen to have a perfect map of the maze, so you can plot a solution to rush in and carry them all to safety. However, the maze is guarded with a security syst...

 
@NathanMerrill Same graph as the one I just posted, but with wordiness replaced by length: ppcg.starmaninnovations.com/tnbde/#AdejcSjORN
 
That one includes oneboxes as well, right?
 
@Geobits Oh, you're right, it does. Not much difference though.
 
hmmm
I divided the two, and I'm not sure if it means anything
I'm no statistician
 
@NathanMerrill I think it does, in fact. Namely, that wordiness is roughly proportional to length.
 
3:04 PM
is the data actually statistically significant?
that's what I don't know
oooh, better idea
 
@NathanMerrill Probably. I'm not exactly a statistician either, but I am a mathematician. :P
 
a graph putting num words on the x axis, and the average wordiness of the message on the y
I think the "group by days" is messing this up
 
@NathanMerrill Oooh, I do like that idea. On it.
 
A scatterplot of words vs chars would work, and you could get rid of "wordiness" altogether.
 
@NathanMerrill Wait, did you mean "num characters" instead of "num words"?
 
3:08 PM
no. num words
you don't want to include num characters, as that stat is included in "wordiness" metric
 
Then what did you mean by "average wordiness of the message"?
 
the average number of characters of each word averaged across all messages
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ woah, that is really cool, but unfortunately it doesn't count the spoken occurences =P
 
@NathanMerrill I still don't get it, and besides, why would that be useful?
 
do messages with more words have longer words?
 
3:14 PM
@El'endiaStarman With some exceptions, it seems rc planes survive crashes way better=)
(why don't we put people into rc planes?)
 
@NathanMerrill Oooh, I see. Hmm.
Isn't that just chars vs words, though?
 
no. because a message with more words will pretty much have more characters
that's why you have to take the average wordiness
aka, you do not want a long msg with short words like this one to look long
 
Okay, so, divide number of chars by number of words, then plot against number of words?

Q: Create a pyramidal matrix

Weeing If FirstA pyramidal matrix is a square matrix where all numbers increase or decrease from the center point, like the two matrices below: 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 2 3 2 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 Or: 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 2 1 2 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 Given a non-zero i...

 
That's why I suggested a scatterplot, so you could see the main trend along with outliers.
 
3:20 PM
@El'endiaStarman yeah
 
Yeah, I'm trying to make a scatterplot graph.
 
You probably don't need to divide anything then.
A long message with short words would just show up off the diagonal.
Oooh, I see what he's saying.
 
yeah, but with the division as you are then separating separate variables
we're testing if "length of words" and "number of words" are independent variables. "number of characters" includes both
while a scatterplot of all messages would be great, you should still do the division
 
I think even without dividing, you'd be able to see if there is a trend there. If the trend curves upward, then length of words increases as num words increases. If it's a flat diagonal, then it doesn't.
 
a diagonal could hide data via the slope
its hard to tell if a slope is too steep or too flat
where a steep slope would say "wordiness goes up", but a flat slope would say "wordiness" goes down
 
3:25 PM
You may be right. It'd be interesting to see them both imo.
 
Can anyone recommend a tool for inspecting a PDF document's internal objects? I'm trying to find some checkbox object names
 
@El'endiaStarman Clearly the dot on the far right follows the Thing Explainer methodology.
 
3:56 PM
I modified the javascript to count wordiness (and exclude wordiness above 50):
 
It at least seems like the trendline would be curving upward
 
yeah, its very slight though
 
@El'endiaStarman Can you guess the name of the subreddit this image is from?
 
@NathanMerrill And, like I said, the Thing Explainer dot over on the far right is going to skew results
 
@flawr Is it just in one? That image has been in a lot of news stories recently.
Unless it's been shopped in some way I don't see.
 
4:03 PM
@Geobits I don't know, I just found it in /r/AccidentalRenaissance.
Wanna guess one more time?
 
Yeah, I just found it there, too. Nice sub for images, though.
 
Sigh. I just can't seem to get below the ~3 minute mark with my Prime Buddies code.
@flawr Obviously that came from /r/flawr
 
@TimmyD no such thing=)
 
Kudos to that light pole, though. When a bus comes at you, you stand your ground.

4:07 PM
@Geobits Any guess?
 
the P value is 0.0377, so there is a significant trend
 
@flawr Oh, no idea. I barely reddit at all, so I don't know the names of even popular subs.
 
but its a very slight trend
 
@Geobits Those are not that popular, but this one is from /r/bitchimabus
 
Looks more like /r/bitchimapole to me. That bus got rekt.
 
4:10 PM
but what it means is that, on average, for every 50 words in a message, you can expect the average word to be 1 character longer
 
@Fatalize Pulled.
@seshoumara :)
 
@NathanMerrill I wonder if punctuation has something to do with that. Longer messages tend to have more periods and commas if nothing else, so that would add to the chars/word, right?
 
^^^
look at that punctuation on a 1 word message
dunno, its hard to tell
on one hand, punctuation on a shorter message has a larger effect, but you need it more on longer messages
 
A lot of people just don't punctuate at all on short messages in here.
 
you're totally right. It's more present on longer messages
that said, you don't have punctuation on every word*
 
4:14 PM
W.h.y.n.o.t.?
 
my bad :)
 
Agreed. Like I said, I was just wondering how much effect it would have. Obviously some, but it's hard to tell if it would drag it up or down.
 
I'm surprised there isn't more of a trend upward in general, considering all the single/dual character messages (carets, smiles, etc).
 
that may be the entire cause of the slope
perhaps there isn't a slope at all if we get rid of those messages
 
4:18 PM
Oh, there's a thought. Not that as you increase in words the average chars/word goes up, but that as you decrease in words the average goes down.
Due to lower-quality content.
 
It's also hard to use common "long" words in a short message.
 
I can't get my HAVING to work
SELECT
  (length(MSG.content) - length(replace(MSG.content, ' ', '')) + 1) as words,
  (length(MSG.content)::float/(length(MSG.content) - length(replace(MSG.content, ' ', '')) + 1)) as wordiness

FROM "transcriptAnalyzer_message" MSG

WHERE date >= '2016-09-21' AND date <= '2016-09-21'
HAVING words > 1;
any ideas what I did wrong?
it says that "words" doesn't exist
 
Does anyone here want to play Space Trader? :3
 
@Geobits Negatory. Simply requires changing perspective.
 
@TimmyD Undoubtedly possible. However, individuals seldomly exercise the necessary willpower.
@NathanMerrill I'm not used to seeing having without a group by. Is it just like a normal where then?
 
4:27 PM
I did it a different way
regardless, its taking forever
I might have killed the server
 
Do you get some sort of badge for that? :P
 
@Geobits it doesn't work as a "where" either
 
@DestructibleWatermelon turtled.tryitonline.net/…

@confusedandamused I had the same issue at first. It gets easier the more you do, but that's probably not very helpful or inspirational :)

I just graduated and got my first "real" programmer job so I have time heh approaching those problems just seem daunting still
 
I'd be really curious if Showcase your language is the longest Q/A on all of SE
216 answers, many of them really long
(by longest, I mean number of characters)
 
The year I was born saw the introduction of the 3.5" floppy, the IBM PC, MS-DOS, and the Osbourne 1
 
@confusedandamused congrats
 
@muddyfish Thanks! I just don't want to stop learning though :)
 
@NathanMerrill Discounting the sandbox? ;)
 
5:06 PM
oh lol
yep, the sandbox has it beat
 
My phone throws a fit when I try to load the sandbox in the app.
 
mine does too, but sometimes it works
 
I just answered a vim ascii-art question on SO. Further proof that PPCG really is useful, haha. XD
 
Yeah, it usually eventually loads, but then it's often scrolled to the wrong spot, or some other thing.
 
I actually raised an issue about that
but it got zero notice

Q: Answer offset when navigating from link

Nathan MerrillWhen I visit a link on the PPCG sandbox the app doesn't scroll down far enough. This problem is especially apparent on the sandbox because it is easy to get lost in the huge list of answers.

 
5:08 PM
@People Just upvoted several answers in showcase your language with snippets equal to their votes
 
you just have to scroll down a little bit, and it's there
 
I think @People left earlier.
 
@TheBitByte Hopefully a bad joke but I was trying do do a generic @
 
@muddyfish Well, perhaps I misunderstood you.
IRC has a generic @, by the way.
#channel-name-here: is a generic @ in IRC.
 
@NathanMerrill If I had to guess, it has something to do with code blocks. Maybe it doesn't count the lines correctly or something, but it always seems to happen on posts with lots of answers with code (so, pretty often for PPCG).
 
5:12 PM
For me it always seems to go an answer or 2 above the correct one
 
Now that you have 344 upvotes, you should come up with something really mindblowing ;P We are all waiting. — zyabin101 28 secs ago
 
in my tests it was exactly 1 off every time
but the only post I thought to test it on was the sandbox, because most other questions weren't long enough
 
@TheBitByte Drop off the :, and also it doesn't ping everyone in a chan. It just refers to a chan.
 
you have to make sure its done loading before you scroll though
 
However, some people should be able to do channel-wide notices...
@RenderSettings hi :3
 
5:15 PM
@zyabin101 Oh, I thought it did.
 
if you do @(Letter), does it ping everybody that starts with the letter?
 
Nope.
Only the person (A), for Letter = A.
 
...you don't have to include a person's full name for pings. For example @Nathan pings me

5:19 PM
can somebody do @Nat ?
 
@nat sure
 
ok, now @Na
 
@dj is enough to ping me

@na
 
it takes 3 characters
 
Does it work?
 
5:19 PM
none of those worked
@DJ but this works?
 
@NathanMerrill No, cause @dj pings me just fine
@NathanMerrill wait, that didn't
Do it again
 
this wont work: @Dj
 
Yeah, it doesn't. Try djm

@El'endiaStarman Yesterday I had an "epiphany" regarding how neurons communicate. (probably not anything new at all, just new to me). I think a lot of people view the function of an individual neuron as "input signal + input signal + ... = whether or not there is an output signal" but the right way to look at it is "input frequency + input frequency + ... = output frequency"

@zyabin101 the data query didn't get that
 
Titin /ˈtaɪtɪn/, also known as connectin, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the TTN gene. Titin is a giant protein, greater than 1 µm in length, that functions as a molecular spring which is responsible for the passive elasticity of muscle. It is composed of 244 individually folded protein domains connected by unstructured peptide sequences. These domains unfold when the protein is stretched and refold when the tension is removed. Titin is important in the contraction of striated muscle tissues. It connects the Z line to the M line in the sarcomere. The protein contributes to forc...

Q: Rename the Necromancer badge

hypersI would like the 'Necromancer' badge to be renamed to something more neutral, please. Generally this term refers to a person practising black magic or witchcraft. I earned this badge but I don't want myself to be associated with this term. Let the community decide what would be the new name. I i...

Aww, each time RenderSettings comes he lurks away. >>
Into the ghost depths of the user list.
 
hmmm...is there an "autocomplete" challenge? Aka, you are given a string of text, and a list of available commands, and you need to return the string of text with as many letters can be inferred from the commands
 
prbbly
 
"A", ["apple","apple pie", "applying"] -> "appl"

I'd call that something other than autocomplete, personally.
No idea what though.
