@DJMcMayhem I try to post verbose explanations on all my answers, so that someone familiar with programming but not with PowerShell can still follow along with what's happening. I'm sure that I've gotten better in my explanation skills in the past year.

@TimmyD How did you get this in plain text?

My results are... pretty strange

Syxer

@Shebang TetrOS.

quartata

@Shebang Hey! Haven't seen you in a while

TimmyD

@quartata The checkbox that says "Plain text output"

quartata

Oh woops

TimmyD

Or "text output" or something

@DJMcMayhem Yeah....

quartata

@DJMcMayhem That's an actual esolang

DJMcMayhem

But why???

quartata

It was for the "destroy your own language" pop-con:

A: Make your language unusable

Enema :OQ::!Q: Code can come any place after this. This language is similar to Emmental in that it is capable of redefining itself. Essentially, what we're doing here is redefining O (which normally is for output) to do nothing (thus making the language no longer have a transformational model...

+1 for the hilarious language name

Q: Retrieve all possible numbers that can be placed in a sudoku grid

Given a sudoku puzzle, find all possible numbers that can be filled into each empty cell within the puzzle. The input is a three-dimensional array containing the row, column and cell value respectively. The result is to be in the form of a four-dimensional array containing the row, column, cell a...

The "language" with the highest average score is "double" with a whopping average of 428.5 across two questions. On closer inspection though it turns out it gets almost all its points from an answer given in "double brainfuck" and then gets nine points from from a tips answer suggesting that you "Double check your character count"

Wow, that got 7 stars in like 2 minutes.

Samsung has really outdone themselves with the storage in the S7. Or at least Windows thinks so.

Geobits

Wow. How much did that model cost?

mınxomaτ

@Geobits 4, maybe 5.

Geobits

thousand?

Maltysen

@mınxomaτ and you used 800 TB already?

mınxomaτ

Though I would like to know what takes up .8 PB on my phone.

betseg

5:46 PM

2 pb free of 3 eb

wat

mınxomaτ

Probably Chrome's swapfile.

Maltysen

rofl

Geobits

Yeah, it's not 0.8 PB used, it's almost all of the 3 EB

Maltysen

oh wait yeah o_O

Geobits

I can only imagine what the seek times are on that thing >_>

betseg

5:47 PM

@MartianCactus hi!

mınxomaτ

Interesting. Now it says I have an S7 Edge (not S7), which I didn't know. It also claims that I have no storage.

Geobits

That's technically closer than the amount it was saying before. It's zeroing in ;)

mınxomaτ

Also, why 3 EB? Is this the limit of the android file system? FAT9001?

Geobits

No idea on that one.

betseg

if its samsung its f2fs or ext4

f2fs' limit is 4 tb, ext4 limit is 1 eb

mınxomaτ

5:51 PM

It's more than both of them.

wizzwizz4

Turns out this rant doesn't fit in this message box: Complaint about Big Brother

You can use Find + Replace to turn it into a rant about USB storage devices.

Geobits

-1 no word wrap :/

wizzwizz4

Or Chrome's swapfile.

TimmyD

@Geobits Well, we at least now have a lower and upper bound. For mathematics, that's good enough.

betseg

@Geobits gist.githubusercontent.com/wizzwizz4/…

wizzwizz4

5:52 PM

@Geobits +1 yes word wrap: gist.githubusercontent.com/wizzwizz4/…

Ninja'd. :-(

Geobits

I'm not sure if the full-width wrap is better or worse than scroll bars, tbh :P

@TimmyD Yep. Somewhere between 0 and 3 EB.

betseg

should a ssd's filesystem be ext4 or f2fs

wizzwizz4

@betseg fat16 ftw

betseg

;_;

i mean, f2fs is the flash friendly file system

wizzwizz4

@wizzwizz4 na, fat12 iz butter!

does anyone know if these sites are legit?: last-minute-essay.com

@Maltysen Probably :-(

Wheat Wizard

Dennis fulfilled an indefinite bounty of mine. Should I delete the bounty or add some text that says it has been filled and link to the solution?

betseg

420% legit

Nathan Merrill

@Maltysen for sure

wizzwizz4

Say goodbye to legit Academia...

DJMcMayhem

5:59 PM

@WheatWizard I'd probably go with the latter, but either one is fine

Martin Ender

@WheatWizard I'd do both.

Wheat Wizard

@MartinEnder Can I undelete the answer if I want to reopen the bounty when I have more rep?

Martin Ender

yes

Q: Smallest Hamming distance to a palindrome containing a substring

This was inspired by a now removed CS.SE question. Task Given two non-empty input strings A and B, output the smallest distance from A to a palindrome that contains B as a substring. Distance is defined by the number of character replacements (Hamming distance). Restrictions Sensible input: ...

code-golf string palindrome

I wonder how they'd react to being given a premium number with a ~$20 connection charge and >$8 per minute?

Helka Homba

To Googly fanboys a Google thing happened today: youtu.be/q4y0KOeXViI (though someone probably already mentioned it)

betseg

It's like the previous year's

The guy reads everything

Maltysen

@HelkaHomba i'm gonna get the pixel

betseg

Probably won't be released in Turkey ;_;

Geobits

6:22 PM

No problem. Just have it shipped to me and I'll pass it along. I definitely won't forget to mail it out to you >_>

Maltysen

the design looks kinda shitty, especially compared to the nexus 5, but the actual specs are nice

Geobits

Oh wow. I just now looked. They look very iPhoney at first glance.

betseg

Btw

128 gb xl one is out of stocks ;_;

Maltysen

@betseg it looks available for me?

the blue one is only available if you're buying from verizon btw

betseg

I used vpn + google store

Geobits

6:27 PM

XL is too big for my pocket anyway. Nexus 5 is just right, and it looks like the regular Pixel is the same size.

Maltysen

@Geobits but no matte finish... :/

Geobits

Yeah... I really like the grippy matte on my Nexus :/

wizzwizz4

@Maltysen Matte finishes are great! They stop the sun shining into your eyes when you leave your basement hideaway to go to work!

betseg

My s5 is smaller than my pocket

Geobits

@wizzwizz4 Not matte on the screen, matte on the rest of the case. It's basically impossible to drop.

wizzwizz4

6:29 PM

@Geobits Aw... Matte screens are the best...

Geobits

I've had matte screens, and I like them on some things, but not really on a phone. I like it on my kindle and laptop though.

@betseg Yeah, the s5 is about the same size as the Nexus 5.

TheBitByte

@wizzwizz4 "Academia.SE" is more like "Advice.SE" right now.

TimmyD

@Geobits iPhony?

TheBitByte

@Geobits I like big phones, though. Not too big, but not too small either.

Geobits

@TheBitByte I like it as big as can comfortably fit in my pocket ;)

TheBitByte

6:33 PM

@Geobits Then upgrade to a Bigger Pocket™ /s

Geobits

@TimmyD As in, I'd have to look twice to see what kind of phone it is. Once you actually look at it you can see the differences, but that white one in particular...

betseg

I actually like exactly 5.5". Pixel XL's size is too right.

DJMcMayhem

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here on my crappy s4 mini

TheBitByte

@betseg Too right would be a bend-gate. :D

TimmyD

@Geobits 'twas a pun, off of phony as in fraudulent.

Geobits

6:34 PM

Damn. I thought it might be, but went with the serious answer this time. You win this round :D

TimmyD

:D

@Geobits I really dislike the Galaxy S6 I have for work for this exact reason. The back is so ridiculously slippery, it's practically impossible to use one-handed.

TheBitByte

@Geobits This round? That's old school. Upgrade to This Round Pro Plus™, with three year warranty! :D

Maltysen

coooooool: store.google.com/category/nexus_live_case

TheBitByte

@Maltysen Cooool, but old neeeeews. /s

DJMcMayhem

What? I missed that.

Geobits

6:37 PM

@Maltysen Is that a regular case, or a pop-off back cover? I don't like cases, but I'd think about a cover swap.
