I kind of want to make one of those 10-minute temporary email addresses just to get feedback on the site...
 
@ETHproductions like the ones club penguin speed runners used?
 
I was about to ask, "How do you speedrun Club Penguin", then I remembered.
 
That s is the last letter in "Thanks"
White text on white background? Nice going, Google -_-
 
Turn JS back on.
 
3:05 AM
? I never turned it off
 
Oh, I assumed that was the result of having JS turned off.
 
If JS had been turned off I wouldn't have been able to get to that screen at all... :P
 
Deepdreamgenerator seems to have been googleified
you used to just be able to use it
now there's just a bunch of cruft to go through first
why would I need to log in?

@EinkornEnchanter 0o is an octal prefix

That was fixed in Python 3
 
You've got to be kidding me
One more reason to switch to golfing in python 3
 
Anonymous
Well Python 3 is a lot more verbose in many other ways
 
3:18 AM
I really like python3's splats though

Shaving off a byte there with Python 3 will translate into many more bytes added in most cases
 
@Mego Um.
 
rest in peace python.

@Dennis Huh. I guess I misremembered. I think there was a PEP for it, but it must not have been accepted.
 
That seems like a critical problem. What am I supposed to do, insert spaces?
 
 
@EinkornEnchanter please insert a comma after do, to clean this up for the starboard
 
@ETHproductions Update on the TestMySite thing: the email apparently contains exactly the same information as was available directly on the webpage 6 months ago ಠ_ಠ
 
@ETHproductions Deepdreamgenerator does drawings of things in the style of other things
I downloaded a ramen image, then cropped it so the entire image was ramen, not the surface the ramen was on
that one is when I used the whole image (afterwards)
not as nice I have to say
 
That... still looks really cool though
 
@ETHproductions yeah but it looks less cool after seeing deepdreamgenerators a bunch
the hat is kind of bungled in this one
 
3:24 AM
brb making a service that requests the email from TestMySite through a temporary email address and sends that email to the user as soon as it is recieved :P
 
@Mego I think this is the fix. Requiring a space after the 0 is the logical choice.
 
@ETHproductions how to make sure it doesn't send spam?
 
Have it only forward the first email received from <testmysite-noreply@google.com>
 
@Dennis It would be nice if they were consistent, perhaps forbidding 1or, 1and and things of the like.
 
@ETHproductions but what if you tested sites multiple times?
@EinkornEnchanter you want them to kill our golfs!?
 
3:26 AM
Have multiple temporary email addresses, one for each site?
 
o ok
well first figure out how to make email addresses
do you know server things?
 
An easy way to do that with one address I suppose would be to do emailaddress+<random string>@gmail.com or something like that
@DestructibleLemon Not a clue
 
@EinkornEnchanter Those aren't single tokens in any language that uses the [A-Za-z_]\w* rule. But 0o and 0x are special since they begin numeric literals.
 
@ETHproductions you're going to have some issues...
 
3:27 AM
I'm on the front page of /r/gifs
 
I've also got to go to bed soon, so it's not happening tonight
 
@Mendeleev nuh uh
 
@Mendeleev Cool, what post is it?
 
anyway r/gifs is heretical
they endorse jif pronunciation
 
3:29 AM
@Mendeleev haha, that's great
 
Yeah, I get the reasoning, I just feel like that gaining consistency is worth losing things like 1or, which you shouldn't really be writing anyway.
 
what's going on with this wolfram alpha plot?
 
bad link
 
@DestructibleLemon That's incredible
 
@orlp Wat.
 
3:39 AM
alright, 'night y'all
 
@orlp on the topic of good and bad links
 
ffs.
 
BTW my Reddit bot got shadowbanned
remember that thing?
 
@Mendeleev it deserved it
 
3:41 AM
It replied to any message saying "Link?" with Link
Got over 10K karma O_o
 
I like how you linked yourself as the creator like it was a badge of honour
@Mendeleev It's not at all annoying like the link? thing
 
> linked
 
it was just an image based off some thing people said
 
heh
 
maybe a bot that replies to messages saying bad link get the bad link image
that would be slightly less obnoxious
 
3:44 AM
 
4:23 AM
Should I install Gentoo?
 
Yes
 
OK, going to do it in a VM
I should put WatOS on my laptop
 
@EinkornEnchanter "Quinoa Caster" may not have the spelling alliteration, but at least it has verbal alliteration.
 
Corn Caster?
Maize Mage sounds cool
 
Oh did that exist
Yes ^^
 
4:27 AM
@EinkornEnchanter Maize Mage next?
 
4:37 AM
@Mendeleev already used mage
 
@DestructibleLemon so?
Does it have to be a new word every time?
 
I like QuinoaQuixotebane because it has Quixote in it
 
Vultr seems like an overall better service than DigitalOcean...
Hmmm... Should I switch?
 
maybe QuinoaQuixotesbane would be more accurate
@Mendeleev Vultr can't even afford a second u. Sad!
 
or an e

nah I think the e was stylistic

@StewieGriffin For How high can you count??
 
@Mr.Xcoder Huh?
 
@StewieGriffin You got Socratic for that question, right?
 
@Mr.Xcoder Yes, that and 99 others :)
 
8:22 AM
Wow
 
"Ask a well-received question on 100 separate days, and maintain a positive question record."
 
@StewieGriffin "Ask a well received question."
 
@Mr.Xcoder Yes, on 100 different days :)
 
So ask 100 questions and get upvotes on all while maintaining a positive score?
 
@Mr.Xcoder Yes! But it must be on 100 different days.
 
8:25 AM
@StewieGriffin I think you misspelled "Socratic" BTW
 
@Mr.Xcoder Well, the Soctratic feeling does that to U! Speling is suddenly hard!
 
oh why misspelling is starred
btw rip Wheat Wizard...
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Because they changed their name (twice)?
 
not just their name...now they're Olm Man
their avatar too, and their about me too
 
@EriktheOutgolfer EinkornEinchanter was far more interesting IMO
 
8:32 AM
wheat wizard changing their name is common occurrence (although I don't know how they circumvent 30-day limit aside from 5 min grace period)
because that's just not just 5 min
 
@EriktheOutgolfer What came before WheatWizard ?
 
wheat wizard is main name and there are often temporary changes and then back to it
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Ah, I see.
 
I think he changed avatar again when he was cartmanager xd
but about me...well, nope

Q: Reverse a string

trinalbadger587Code Golf - The Challenge: Write a function to reverse a string of text. For example, given: hello world it would return dlrow olleh You may not use a built in function to reverse the string.

 
Jim
By your definition, what is an alphanumeric character?
 
9:41 AM
a-z 0-9
alphabet and numbers
 
Jim
@Christopher That's also my definition. I was wondering if it was worth mentioning "ASCII" before "alphanumeric"
 
@Jim Writing a challenge? If so, you can say "(The String) will consist of alphanumeric ASCII characters".
 
Jim
@Mr.Xcoder Actually it's already in the sandbox, I just got a comment about that topic

@EriktheOutgolfer Bleach, regex :/
 
Jim
9:50 AM
@EriktheOutgolfer Well, I think that for most people, it makes no doubt of what an alphanumeric character is
 
@Jim It is very clear in its current form.
 
well there are the people who include _ or something...dunno why
only useful for variable names in coding or something

Q: Make a super acrostic

AdámBackground Celebrating the release of Dyalog APL 16.0, where the solution to this problem is {⊢⌺(≢⍵)⊢⍵}. Task Given a printable ASCII string of odd length n, make an n × n square with the string centered horizontally, duplicated to be centered vertically, and with acrostics of the same string ...

 
11:30 AM
Huh. The printable-ascii tag is restricted-source? The tag is being wildly misused then
 
12:11 PM
it was dead :(
 
Oh, so sad :/
 
I found a dead fox on my way to work today
 
@Mayube A firefox?
 
CMC: calculate the oddity of a number. Every odd number can be expressed as 2*n+1. 5 = 2*2+1, so the output is 1. 7 = 2*3+1 => 3 = 2*1+1 => 2*0+1 and so the output is 3 for 7. The output for even numbers is 0 because they can't be expressed in the form of 2*n+1.

Jim
@betseg I'm not sure it works for 5
 
@betseg that function doesn't return anything (C doesn't do implicit lastexpr returns), so how does that even work o.O
 
12:31 PM
@Jim it does?
@ToxicFrog register magic
 
Jim
@betseg It outputs 2 instead of 1
 
isn't 2 correct?
 
i think kritixi miswrote
 
^ yep
 
Is it still a valid solution if it relies on UB behaving in a certain way?
 
12:34 PM
@HyperNeutrino It's perfectly possible to return moved messages to where they came from if it's something important. If a couple of messages get caught up when moving a large conversation it's not usually a high priority though.
 
@ToxicFrog If it works, it works
 
@betseg it's supposed to be 1 for 5
 
@ToxicFrog it's valid if an interpreter/compiler works in the intended way
@KritixiLithos 2 * n + 1 = 5, n = 1?
 
@betseg it's "how many times it is expressible as 2n+1"
 
@dzaima right, but it might not work on a different architecture/compiler/etc
 
12:35 PM
5 can be written as 2*n+1, and n is 2. n cannot further be expressed as 2*m+1 so the result is one
 
ooohhhh
 
@LeakyNun exactly
 
@Riker bird
 
@KritixiLithos but that's a clarity issue on your part :p

btw for my cmc, the ... ninja'd ಠ_ಠ
@betseg I was just about to say that as an extra fact

@KritixiLithos well, the answer is obviously how many 1 there are at the end of the binary expression
 
wow
 
oh of course
 
12:39 PM
@betseg Is ^^ a noop?
 
i meant the message wasnt an answer for kritixi's question
 
I know - just made me smile because ^ was used in the previous message in a different context :)
 
@LeakyNun how exactly does the bit magic work?
 
@KritixiLithos let the end of n be ...01111
then n+1 is ...10000

@KritixiLithos Python, 26 bytes: lambda n:len(bin(n^-~n))-3
@KritixiLithos since the ... is the same, xor would remove them, leaving us with 11111

that's why I am rewriting the interpreter
or at least, attempting to
 
Jim
@LeakyNun I was actually writing something like this when you changed my mind with your bitwise solution
 
12:47 PM
@Jim nice
 
also, fun fact, my cmc is based on the collatz conjecture
 
@KritixiLithos how?
 
any odd number n will become 3n+1. The result is always an even number, so the next step would be (3n+1)/2. So let's call the process of an odd number going through two steps of the collatz conjecture and ending up in (3n+1)/2 as one STEP. The oddity of a number is how many consecutive STEPs an odd number takes before it reaches an even number.
 
I see
well, that's odd.
 
so now I was looking for efficient solutions to figuring out the oddity of an odd number, so I posed it as a CMC
 
12:59 PM
CMC: is the string a repetition of a character?
empty string is... out of the domain
 
@LeakyNun s=>s==s[0].repeat(s.length)

Quick question for my esolang: Is exponentiation better as an operator or a function?
 
I'd say operator
 
1:12 PM
what is the difference between an operator and a function in your language?
 
@KritixiLithos Operator: 1^1, Function: ^1,1)
@KritixiLithos For operator to do order of operations differently, you need to add parens though: 1^(1+1) vs ^1,1+1)

@StepHen You could use prefix notation for getting rid of parentheses
