I reccomend y'all checkout the bot at

chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/111347/sobotics

it's super realistic and fun chatbot

(@Hatman)

H Walters

Wow... you used y'all correctly

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@HWalters What's so "wow"?

I'm actually having good context-based chat with this bot.

I say something random, it says something random.

I say it's [sic] hyperintelligent, it says not so, I ask why, it says "because it's not clever"

H Walters

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC It's a small thing, but I've seen people who imitate Southern US dialects just trade "you" for "y'all" not realizing that it's only plural

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

What??

@HWalters I don't imitate it, I'm not from the south, I don't use it in real life, I use it here because it's easier to type and more grammatical :P

DJMcMayhem

@HWalters I've never seen that

Also, where is the line for "southern US"? Does Colorado count?

H Walters

Linguistically? No idea

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@DJMcMayhem the south is largely determined by the civil war, so no, Colorado doesn't count.

Like, if I hear "the south", I basically hear all of the states in the south east

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

That bot is scary af

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

I only lived in alabama for three years

@Doorknob How's it in Texas? As we think it is, or no?

Doorknob

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC You mean the usage of "y'all"? A lot of people do, although I still haven't picked it up.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Doorknob "y'doorknobs"

@Doorknob how'd you find out?

feersum

What's "Midland"? Sounds like something in the UK.

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Doorknob No, I mean just "guns, hot, and violence", like overall

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ reddit shower thoughts?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yep

Doorknob

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Reading a bunch of Wikipedia articles. :P I figured I had something from Missouri, Connecticut, Chicago, or Houston, since that's where I've lived.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@feersum it's where cats in striped hats live

DJMcMayhem

Watching a one-year old golden retriever chase her tail, and then actually catch it and play tug-of-war with her own tail is one of the most adorable and hilarious things I've ever seen, lol

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Doorknob oh, interesting. do you have family in the military?

Doorknob

01:03

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Uh, yes to the second part definitely :P, not so much the others...

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ (geobits is in the military, if you want to ask him)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

also, you should probably not pass out personal info without explicit permission

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Oops.

DJMcMayhem

Idk, he's mentioned it before so I don't think he minds

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yeah, but just in case

it's best not to talk about other people when they aren't here, unless it's something explicitly positive about them

01:10

@DJMcMayhem D: use TIO?

DJMcMayhem

I suppose I could simulate it with vimscript, like I did with the alt button

@Downgoat yeah, but I can't enter the unprintables

Downgoat

oh

@Dennis feature-request enter unprintable characters in TIO

wait I can add that to my client :D

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@DJMcMayhem Then take it to the repair shop.

(I copied it from @Hatman)

(I'm not a bot, nobody freak out)

(Manure has hit the cooling device)

H Walters

No, you're just plagiarizing a bot

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

Can hatman sue?

H Walters

01:13

And now I have to read a bunch of complicated ethics manuals to see how I feel about it

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Downgoat pls make OS X application client for TIO

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

I feel like "GIMME THE DAMN SOURCE CODE NOW, YOU MAD SCIENTIST", but it's not anywhere

DJMcMayhem

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I can see that going over very well. "My phone's broken!" 'what's wrong with it?' "I can't use an obscure vim feature!" 'wtf is vim?' "a nerdy text editor I code-golf in" 'wtf is code-golf?' "a nerdy game I play where you write short code for fun" 'OK, cool but what's wrong with your phone?'

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@DJMcMayhem XD

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ nativifier can do that to any website, it's on npm

@DJMcMayhem Actually do that and see what happens.

It's like giving edge cases to humans

DJMcMayhem

Nah, nothing's wrong with the phone, it's probably the app

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

01:17

@DJMcMayhem I know, but just go there and see what happens

Downgoat

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ :O will do using election

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Downgoat nativifier does that, using electron. It's CLI, very easy to use

@DJMcMayhem Or like do some obscure OS mess-up trick that you can undo

Downgoat

^ Okay this is better idea. I'll just nativifier it and put a pre-built version on website

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC ehh needs moar goat

@Downgoat lol

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Downgoat URL for your TIO client? It's also cross-platform

Downgoat

01:18

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC this seems amazing, thank you for revealing this to me

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC vihan.org/p/tio

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Python really needs a ''.join([str(i) for i in lst]) builtin function

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Downgoat !! I should do this to TNB

DJMcMayhem

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I've got better things to do with my time. Like... Code-golf?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

it's really annoying to have to type ''.join, let alone remembering you have integers as elements

Conor O'Brien

this is why you don't use python

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

01:20

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ?

@DJMcMayhem Do it, I'll be hilarious

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Make one :P. C++ needs a to_int function

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC read the context message

> builtin

Conor O'Brien

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I think C++ has one

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

it's really not hard to hack one if you're using it a lot, but not worth it for 1 use

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ You can put it in site.py so it's there globally, across all python instances

DJMcMayhem

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC (int)foo

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

01:21

@DJMcMayhem that gets the ascii code for chars

DJMcMayhem

No, it casts a char to an int, which is the same thing

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@DJMcMayhem Yes, but I need int conversion

'1' -> 1

DJMcMayhem

A char is just an int with a smaller range that gets treated slightly differently

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

I know, I want '1' to go to int 1

DJMcMayhem

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC What type? char*, char or std::string?

or something else I suppose

Conor O'Brien

01:22

if it isn't the latter you're doing something wrong >_>

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC yeah, but that's not the point as much as the point is "it's useful and not that hard to implement, and IMO is a viable candidate for builtin-ship"

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@DJMcMayhem char, and not char*

DJMcMayhem

Oh, that's super easy

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@DJMcMayhem it is

DJMcMayhem

int i = c - '0';

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

01:26

That's what I did

@ConorO'Brien int -> array of digits

H Walters

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC C++ has a to_int function

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

That's how I made an entire android app

Conor O'Brien

01:40

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

With a layout, and a server to go along with it

Conor O'Brien

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC that's impressive

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

Also my entire C++ing exp.

@ConorO'Brien 1. I know JavaScript 2. The online course said "Java exp. required" 3. I had never coded in Java 3. I did the course. 4. Apparently I know Java now, but last week I tried doing it again and failed miserably

Conor O'Brien

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC RIP

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@ConorO'Brien I didn't do anything with arrays, hello world, or output during all that time

Conor O'Brien

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC what kind of course is that?!

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@ConorO'Brien A course on android development, udacity

I mean I knew Javascript ≠ Java

Conor O'Brien

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC what app did you develop?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@ConorO'Brien Not published, but it had a UI, requested the web, and everything, but it's now just an empty UI shell :P

I have PUBLISHED chrome extensions from my w3schools exp. (only recently did I use mdn)

One that http://tnb.x -> TNB

tnb.x <- I click on that or type it into the omnibox (including without http://) it goes to tnb

@ConorO'Brien

Conor O'Brien

oh, cool

Downgoat

this took too long

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

It looks great

@ConorO'Brien 1. I did JS for a month or so, googling stuff and pasting it into the chrome console 2. Two years later, I want to make a chrome extension. I know JS surprisingly well, I don't google absolutely everything, one week later out comes a published chrome extension

Conor O'Brien

@Downgoat I feel like I've seen this before

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC nice!

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

JS is so incredibly... easy to learn

the .x thing is not the published one (it has no UI right now, it's like a JS dictionary in the file), the published one adds a copy image url button to google images - much simpler @ConorO'Brien

Conor O'Brien

01:48

true that on both

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@ConorO'Brien Second one is on chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sigma/…

if you want to install it (not trying to self-promote)

Wait, how did I get 9 users!?

DJMcMayhem

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@mınxomaτ I can see you saying that at at a petting zoo.

@mınxomaτ ok doing

Also macOS stores and needs all these files (in a different format), too. Each .app is just a folder containing all of it.

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

But who wants dll files in their downloads folder

.app is a really nice format for devs and users

mınxomaτ

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Well, I suppose you can just extract the thing into a directory.

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

It's literally a unix terminal app with the resources all bundled up in a pseudofolder, which is actually a folder you can cd into

so, for example, I could set it up so that Ctrl-Shift-G would auto-ssh into my server

Oh tasks.

No idea. iTerm2 is nice, but I don't think it has custom tasks.

@mınxomaτ That's a blast from the past, that chat transcript right there

It's funny too

@DJMcMayhem I don't have enough rep, post screenshot?

Q: Langton's ant ASCII art.

Draw the path of Langton's ant. Description Squares on a plane are colored variously either black or white. We arbitrarily identify one square as the "ant". The ant can travel in any of the four cardinal directions at each step it takes. The ant moves according to the rules below: At...

How much rep do you need? I can never remember since I stopped unlocking new privileges

Conor O'Brien

same

DJMcMayhem

2k apparently

10k ~~once we get our design~~ who knows when

Sherlock9

How much to view the upvote/downvote breakdown on a post before and after site design?

DJMcMayhem

1 when you use the plugin. :P

Conor O'Brien

I always thought it was stupid to have that rep-restricted

DJMcMayhem

@Sherlock9 750/1000

Sherlock9

Oh good. I'm safe :D

Geobits

@ConorO'Brien IIRC it's mostly to avoid another db call per view. That's why they don't really care if you get around it, as long as not everyone is.

Sherlock9

Do you have a link to the breakdown of SE privileges?

Conor O'Brien

@Geobits ahhh

@Sherlock9 help center > privileges

Thanks

Geobits

@Sherlock9 I just use the ones on SO to see "graduated" levels: stackoverflow.com/help/privileges

PhiNotPi

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC regarding your sandbox comment, 1 year is nothing compared to how long some of my stuff has been in there.

DJMcMayhem

@Geobits fetching one int instead of two? Surely that must be negligible

Sherlock9

Well, I've gotten all of the privileges at 5k here. Just need to get to 25k to keep them all

And the only ones I'm really interested in keeping are moderator tools (to view deleted posts) and maybe site analytics. 10k and 25k, here I come.

DJMcMayhem

Site analytics aren't that big of a deal to me. The trusted user ones are much more important imo

Geobits

@DJMcMayhem I think it's because post score is in the post table, and votes are in another.

I read this on meta somewhere, but I'll probably never find it again.

DJMcMayhem

You can find it on my question

Q: Why are users with less than 1000 rep unable to see vote-counts?

I know that once a user passes 1000 reputation (or 750 in a smaller site), they gain the ability to see vote-counts, rather than vote total (upvotes - downvotes). However, I don't really understand what purpose this serves. I know that some activities are not given to a new user to prevent spam/a...

Geobits

Well then :P

Sherlock9

@DJMcMayhem Hm. But I don't often delete posts outright. Kind of afraid of starting a fight

DJMcMayhem

I've voted to delete like 150 iirc, lol

176

And where do you view that data?
