@betseg Right, but generally you need something like e.g. --no-preserve-root for that to work.

rm -rf / is bad enough.

user165474

unless you protected / with root in which case you have a whole new set of issues

I don't even know if properties are good code. I just like them.

@Mego I would like the ability to create rooms again. I don't think it really makes sense to forbid me from making rooms based on why I was banned from chat temporarily

Phoenix

.NET Core and Mono are open source though, aren't they?

ASCII-only

@Phoenix Yeah

betseg

Well mono has been since 2004 and .net opened source a few months ago (I think), but who uses mono?

I would assume it's a bug

well, the button isn't there anymore, and if I click on the link to create a room it announces I am banned from making rooms

then why was I banned from it

ok but I honestly have no idea why I would be banned from creating rooms if it has nothing to do with being banned from chat one time

@Riker It's frustrating in two ways. First there's the people getting mad at me when they get suspensions, even though I had no part in issuing the suspensions.

Q: Shortest Addition Chain

An addition chain is a sequence of integers starting with 1, where every integer other than the initial 1 is a sum of two previous integers. For instance, here's an addition chain: [1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 16, 32, 39, 71] Here are the sums that make it an addition chain: 1 + 1 = 2 1 + 2 = 3 1 + 3 ...

sum is not the right answer outside of golf

In production code, use list1.extend(list2)

Or simply list1 + list2

Anonymous

If they're generators, use itertools.chain

Destructible Lemon

is itertools good practice

Anonymous

Usually. Not reinventing the wheel is good practice.

I can't really think of any situation in production code where you wouldn't want to use itertools (or any other standard module) if it has something that solves the problem.

So, I thought about a new metric of code-golf, the code with the smallest value wins. The value is calculated by characters*time to run. So if you use an programming language like python, it's very short, but for that reason, it's less efficient. This results in a chance for efficient programming...

If you need enums in Python, you can use any old object and compare them by reference equality.

Any opinions on this?

Kritixi Lithos

@Adnan So each person can only ever perform one action?

Adnan

@KritixiLithos No, as many as they want

it's like a two-way cops and robbers

Kritixi Lithos

checks if Dennis is on my team

Adnan

hahahahaha

Kritixi Lithos

wait, both Dennis and MartinEnder are on the other team. The odd team has already lost :P

Hm okay, that's weird

From the top 20 users, 16 have an even ID

perhaps I should work on that

@Adnan So the custom list of characters does not count towards your score/bytecount at all?

Adnan

Nope, but the byte count doesn't matter for the score

since the iteration number is counted towards the score

I'm not sure on this idea though

@ASCII-only do we want async-single threading for delayed operations (e.g. network request) or multi-threading

Kritixi Lithos

@Adnan this probably will encourage cops to post longer solutions

Jan Dvorak

CMC: turn "In Soviet Russia, you don't <verb> a <noun>. " into " Instead, <noun> <verb>s you. "

Kritixi Lithos

I think that was a challenge on main

Adnan

@KritixiLithos Exactly, which is one of the things I'm worried about

Kritixi Lithos

the idea is nice, it is just the scoring that needs improvement

Downgoat

5:22 PM

@JanDvorak TeaScript: " Instead, <noun> <verb>s you.

Kritixi Lithos

and you said "characters" not "bytes". Was that intentional?

Adnan

Yeah, I don't think that really matters in this case

since the possible characters that need to be used are already given by the cop

Kritixi Lithos

@Downgoat but the interpreter is broken D:

Jan Dvorak

where <verb> and <noun> are any strings matching [a-z]+

Downgoat

@KritixiLithos are you using https

Carrot, 61 bytes: #^//\S+(?= a |.$)/gS";"^ ^*1//;.+(?=;)/S0-1vInstead, ^^s you.

that is such a monstrosity

I blame it on the fact that Carrot isn't TC yet

Phoenix

You should fix that

Kritixi Lithos

I am planning to rewrite the interpreter

and bring node into the game

so that Carrot can hopefully be added on TIO later (my website sucks)

Here's the online interpreter btw: kritixilithos.github.io/Carrot

searching for "In Soviet russia code writes you" lead me to a closed challenge. That lead me to another closed challenge that finally lead me to this. I think I'll try it in Carrot

Q: What happens to a suspended user's bounty?

I am currently working on a solution to a question, on which a currently suspended user has offered a bounty before they were suspended. I am close to a solution that would be "competing" for the bounty but if they can't do anything on the site, I can't be awarded the bounty (or anyone else, for ...

Q: You haven't voted on questions in a while

There does not appear to be a dupe for this. I am not sure of the exact calculations that trigger this notification but seeing as some questions get dozens of answers my voting on questions is very skewed. I typically answer things I see on the HNQ. Those post will usually have plenty of answers...

@Dennis to git this strait. Somebody broke sandbox?

@Christopher Not exactly. While I know what happened, I intend to keep a lit on the details until this is fixed.

quick question, for anyone who's better with mathematics than I am: how can I convert coordinates (x,y) from a 2D map (like [that one](http://geology.com/world/world-map.gif)) to geographic coordinates (lat,long)? I can get an approximation of the longitude with something like `(x/width_img * 360) - 180` (assuming x is a coordinate in pixel, and the longitude 0 is in the middle of the 2D map) (the closer we are to the poles, the less the formula is accurate if I'm not mistaken).
But I can't figure out a similar formula to get the latitude... any ideas?

I'd expect the formula for the latitude to contain an atan somewhere

Jan Dvorak

it depends on the projection

on local scale, linear interpolation is good enough. You can guesstimate the relative error from the difference between cos(lon_min) and cos(lon_max)
