@Downgoat Dennis could just remove me. Without mod powers

Dennis

Nah, I worked too hard for my internet points.

Christopher

@Dennis I mean it is 1k XD not even 1%

Now if you fix that by putting 500 rep bounties of every question I answer and giving it to me I would be just fine

Dennis

Would still put me in second place. :P

Christopher

Oh good point

Dennis

12:32 AM

And the delete button is free.

HyperNeutrino

I mean it took me almost a month to get my most recent 1k rep :P

Christopher

Well lets be honest if you just removed my account without legit reasons in the end I would be back and you would be in a bit of trouble

@HyperNeutrino It takes me a while

I am lazy and tooo many hard challenges

HyperNeutrino

lol same

that's why I make the hard challenges

Christopher

I try then I lose my rep

HyperNeutrino

(not the harder ones but some)

wait how do you lose rep

Christopher

I have a list of my challenges that are -

I've just accidentally achieved being able to type a single r for chrome to autocomplete to ruby.tryitonline.net

I don't even use ruby

I just golf in it occasionally

HyperNeutrino

lol

what does c autocomplete to?

for you

Phoenix

12:41 AM

And it's done that since at least as long ago as November.

I joined the site in late september.

totallyhuman

ok query by terms is done

might as well bump to v1.0

also i totally don't know what i'm doing

HyperNeutrino

c autocompletes to chat ;_;

I've been using TNB more than PPCG.SE?

that's why I haven't been gaining rep as quickly ;_;

and co autocompletes to the meta site... I think this isn't simply by activity. :P

totallyhuman

i should look up what is good python practise for modules

> Spaghetti code: multiple pages of nested if clauses and for loops with a lot of copy-pasted procedural code and no proper segmentation are known as spaghetti code. Python’s meaningful indentation (one of its most controversial features) make it very hard to maintain this kind of code. So the good news is that you might not see too much of it.
Ravioli code is more likely in Python: it consists of hundreds of similar little pieces of logic, often classes or objects, without proper structure. If you never can remember if you have to use FurnitureTable, AssetTable or Table, or even TableNew f…

Guys I need help installing Ruby

   1 - MSYS2 base installation
   2 - MSYS2 system update
   3 - MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain

What does all that mean and which one do I pick

HyperNeutrino

I need a bit of help: I'm on Linux and I just created a new account and I'm trying to play Minecraft (don't ask why that's the first thing I'm doing :P), but Ctrl+Space is a shortcut to do something (I don't know what), which prevents me from playing. What does that shortcut do, and where can I disable it? For reference, uname -a gives

Linux Alex-Acer-Aspire-E15 3.19.0-32-generic #37~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 22 09:41:40 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

.

Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino Switch keyboard language

HyperNeutrino

oh

how do I disable it

totallyhuman

xmodmap?

or something liek that iirc

Phoenix

12:57 AM

IDK, wherever the shortcuts are on Ubuntu?

@HyperNeutrino You could have just said you're on Ubuntu btw, that gives as much useful information as the uname output.

HyperNeutrino

oh ok

Ctrl+Space doesn't seem to find anything in Global Keyboard Shortcuts - KDE Control Module

I searched with Ctrl and manually looked for anything that looked right.

oh ibus

Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino Oh on KDE it might be different

@HyperNeutrino Another idea I got from here: bind Ctrl+Space to something random and let it overwrite whatever binding already exists for Ctrl+Space, then remove it

Is there a way to pad a string with spaces in Python? Kind of like str.zfill but with spaces.

Challenger5

Maybe str.rjust?

HyperNeutrino

Ah, perfect. Thanks.

Challenger5

Sorry, str.ljust().

HyperNeutrino

But why the naming inconsistencies???? why????? for a language that's designed for easy usage...

Thanks. Now that I think of it, str.center was that I needed :P But thanks for the help.

Challenger5

You can pass in another argument for what character to use, as well.

HyperNeutrino

1:47 AM

Ooh. Perfect.

So str.zfill(k, l) is just shorthand for str.rjust(k, l, '0')?

Challenger5

Yes. And you can actually use k.zfill(l) or k.rjust(l, '0') because methods called on objects are just called on the class with implicit self.

HyperNeutrino

True.

Challenger5

I never liked that about Python.

totallyhuman

Is this for paintbrush?

Challenger5

By "that", I mean the fact that "True" is capitalized.

HyperNeutrino

1:53 AM

@totallyhuman no it's for a reference implementation for an upcoming challenge :P

totallyhuman

true = True

HyperNeutrino

I decided to bypass Sandbox this time (which is probably a little bit overconfident of my judgement), but now that I think of it I might want to sandbox it first.

totallyhuman

@HyperNeutrino oh cool

@HyperNeutrino yes please do

wow that was fast

well I guess you just roasted my challenge :P

it took me quite a bit of effort ><

especially the code

which is 1117 bytes long because I didn't golf the reference implementation obviously lol

that's still shorter than my longest non-tarpit code-golf submission though :P

Challenger5

That's New Sandboxed Posts, not NewMainPosts...

HyperNeutrino

oh

sure

I knew that

Challenger5

And besides, the coefficient might be really small

but sometimes NMP takes like over 15 minutes

1) I certainly hope I'm not that bad at writing answers
2) I would've deleted it if it got downvoted enough to make my net rep change -40

You will be given a positive integer as input. The integer is the board of a seesaw. Th integer will not have leading zeroes. You may take this input however you like. Your task is to output the location of the pivot point of this seesaw, such that the board would balance. A board balances if...

Q: Mutation-hardened quine

Your task is to make a program that prints out its own output. "Hey, we already have this challenge, and tons of variations of it! Why are you making another one?" you may ask, but this one is going to be one of the most difficult ones (hopefully, anyway). Your quine must be "mutation-hardened"...

hey, this question was put on hold as unclear: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/132352/…

yet, there aren't any comments indicating any issues with the question

he's also posted a meta question: codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/13299/…

@NathanMerrill I didn't vote to close, but I also haven't voted to open. Mainly because I don't understand the instructions very well. I'm not sure if its unclear but it certainly is confusing.

CMC: Given a string s and integers n, p > 0, for each char in s, copy it n times and append it with p spaces. Ex: 'abcd', n = 2, p = 1 -> 'aa bb cc dd '. Feel free to convert this into an actual challenge too if it seems hard enough

Q: "put on hold as unclear what you're asking" is itself unclear

My question Ordered sequence of ascending integer combinations was put on hold despite receiving five good answers in the first 12 hours. It has also received a fair few upvotes, as have the answers.

@WheatWizard while I agree that it is hard to read and parse, clearly it is possible, as there are several answers to it.

Regardless, it is crazy to me that people would consider close voting a challenge without a single comment

Wheat Wizard

I've already voted to reopen.

I had to read it about 5 times but I get it

I don't get the why part but I could write a program to do it.

I totally agree. It's really not a well-written question, and the output is bizarre

@NathanMerrill I've answered the meta post, but I'm not sure it's really going to help the situation. When a question is that incomprehensible, a comment doesn't add anything to "Unclear".

@WheatWizard Start by exploiting "You may take this input however you like": I'll have a list of digits, please. Then apply algebra: b l=sum(zipWith(*)l[1..])/sum(l)

In fact, even if you take the input as a string that saves three bytes
