it seems that the button to choose a room to move to doesn't contain the data of which room to move it to; rather, i believe it finds the relative HTML element, which is a link to the room, and queries that for the target room, so changing the URL of that breaks it. can't confirm, but that's what i believe is happening

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing No, iirc the Berlin Wall crashed into the Challenger spacecraft :P

ngn

anyone old enough to remember both events? :)

caird coinheringaahing

If you remember Challenger (86 IIRC), you remember both

user

Anyone old enough to remember Challenger but not the Berlin Wall?

caird coinheringaahing

How would that work? :P

ngn

23:04

@user that would be "amnesiac enough"

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Dementia

@ngn Pretty much, yeah :P

I present to you a user who is definitely Randall Munroe and not just a feed

caird coinheringaahing

@user Still alive 35 years later, using code golf and able to remember that they remember Challenger? :P

Dammit someone broke one of my answers by suggesting a golf that was wrong

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing I guess transferring bodies must have cost them some memories :P

Redwolf Programs

23:06

I thought they were just changing one thing but it turns out they snuck another """golf""" in

user

Oh, they suggested an edit?

Redwolf Programs

No, just suggested it in the comments

Less than an hour until MMG

caird coinheringaahing

I get the feeling that someone's going to post an easy-to-FGITW challenge to main right as MMG starts, and everyone will go do that :P

Redwolf Programs

Easy answer is to have HN insta-delete any thing that gets posted :p

user

Careful, HN might delete that answer too :P

@NewMainPosts Ugh, I VTC as unclear and it won't let me re-VTC as a dupe :/

Any more CMC drafts?

We have exactly 18 right now I think

user

Draft: Shortest S combinator: Given a binary function x, a unary function y, and a value z, output x(z)(y(z)), or x(z, y(z))

Wezl

Draft: Say "Hello, World!" in the TNB internet code-golf

Redwolf Programs

I don't know if that's a good idea

caird coinheringaahing

^ Banning and trashing anyone who actually does that :P

Redwolf Programs

23:19

Hello, World!

caird coinheringaahing

Go to the Sandbox, the room id is 2 bytes shorter :P

user

Trashing? What exactly does trashing a person entail?

Redwolf Programs

Hovers over "Trash User"

caird coinheringaahing

Trash the messages (if there's a lot) :P

user

@RedwolfPrograms Nice, a button made specifically for me! I feel so special!

Draft: Given a string, generate all permutations of all prefixes of the input.

ok say it in Indonesian Gambling Spam, which includes convincing the owner(s?) to let you in

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh ok, I thought you meant deleting the user themselves

Draft: Manhattan distance between two n-d points

caird coinheringaahing

@Wezl It's a gallery so that people don't get invited when we trash their messages, you're welcome to chat there if you want :P

Redwolf Programs

Draft: Take a domain (with protocol) and part of a URL. If the URL is just a path (always starts with /), add the protocol and domain. If it starts with a domain but has no protocol, add the protocol. If it has all three, return it unchanged.

Is that too complicated?

Matthew Daniels

Draft: get lyrics of a song, then output them in alphabetical order. not the words, the entire line.

Draft: Replace "keyboard" with "leopard" on a webpage or in a string (xkcd)

I'm going to close draft submissions at (this_hour):40

Then we'll start voting

Why this_hour?

Matthew Daniels

alrighty.

caird coinheringaahing

23:40 UTC

user

Why 40 then?

Redwolf Programs

23:23

xx:40

Matthew Daniels

yes.

user

Oh ok

Redwolf Programs

Unless you're in one of those weird half-hour-offset timezones

Matthew Daniels

yeah, what kind of timezones are that?

weird ones.

Matthew Daniels

good luck voting, because I'm gonna do something else.

I'm staying here though.

@caird that makes you a literal time traveller. lmao

@cairdcoinheringaahing Heh, taking the next step in time travel

caird coinheringaahing

@Delfad0r Congrats on 5k btw!

user

Delfad0r's the Haskeller, right? I like their answers, they're usually very creative

Delfad0r

@cairdcoinheringaahing Thanks! (also thanks for notifying me, I have no clue how you noticed that before me ^^)

caird coinheringaahing

@Delfad0r Your recent sandbox post :P New Posts shows the rep of the user who posted :P

@Ausername That's in the Sandbox, so maybe not

Redwolf Programs

To get it below the 1500 mark, and maybe even 1400

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms As in an edit to your own post?

Redwolf Programs

Wait no I've already edited that :/

A username

@cairdcoinheringaahing Nvm then

caird coinheringaahing

Those don't count for Strunk and White (neither do tag edits)

Redwolf Programs

23:32

I thought they did, it doesn't say they don't

caird coinheringaahing

Tag wiki edits do count tho

Delfad0r

@lyxal If you had 20 seconds to convince me to start learning Vyxal instead of, say, Jelly, what would you say?

A username

Redwolf, keep misspelling me so I keep getting more edits.

caird coinheringaahing

@Delfad0r Don't listen to that fool, embrace the superiority of Jelly :P

Redwolf Programs

Wait, @Lyxal, when did you lowercase your name?

Wezl

23:34

~~Jelly~~ <superior language>

@hyper-neutrino I have a reasonable need of your moderator help. I would like a username change to lyxal (very important to notice the lower case letter at the start). I can't do it myself because 30 day policy reasons

@cairdcoinheringaahing "very important"

can you try making it a gallery chat room, so that no one else can talk, but everyone can still vote on it?

A username

@RedwolfPrograms I just realised it's going to be more than 18 because ties

Redwolf Programs

@MatthewDaniels Not sure if non-write-priv people can star

user

@RedwolfPrograms Try a timeout then

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms They can

Redwolf Programs

23:46

Doesn't really matter though

caird coinheringaahing

Its why OSP testing has so many stars

Redwolf Programs

We'll post in order most votes -> least, and for ties we'll do oldest -> newest.

That seems fairest to me

@RedwolfPrograms What does count: Questions, answers and tag wikis, including if they: are community wiki posts, tag wiki excerpts, suggested edits. What doesn't count: Questions and answers, if they: are/get deleted, are within the 5 minute grace period, are on your own posts, are tag only edits. Additionally, each post/wiki only counts once.

Redwolf Programs

Can you star things during a timeout?

caird coinheringaahing

Try it

@RedwolfPrograms Cast your votes at the end as pins

Redwolf Programs

Nah, the winners mostly lined up with what I wanted to win anyway :p

Voting closed

I'll compile a list

Wezl

event is happening in this room right?

Redwolf Programs

23:52

Yep

user

I thought it was a separate room

lyxal

@Delfad0r vyxal is used by less people so the chances of you missing out on using it are slim. Also, functions and 500+ commands via overloads

Wezl

it should be in this room because then you can click on it in "past events" and find it easily IMO

caird coinheringaahing

@user No, people didn't like that suggestion :/

where can I ask what's the power of some decimal, because I don't feel like asking here?

I'll post the first 5 CMCs since it'll be during the timeout, but the original posters are free to after that
