@pxeger dw I know the answer

this is Joe

Alright so I'm on a Zoom lecture rn and one person has that 5 black 1 white picture but it's 5 white 1 black.

And it's fricking hilarious

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino No, the transcript is weirdly constricted

lyxal

11:26 PM

This lecture isn't as epic as I thought it'd be - the lecturer missed an opportunity to make a Joe Mama joke

Because one of the tutors is named Josephus, and someone asked in chat "who's Joe?"

and chat only made the obvious joke when it was too late

at least someone else in chat said "we do a moderate amount of trolling"

Oh no

He doesn't know what ligma is either

And he doesn't know who candace is

caird coinheringaahing

Does he know about King Sugma?

lyxal

prolly not

09:27:11 From  Me to  Everyone : WhO's CaNdAcE?
*lecturer says "I don't know who candace is" and "I don't know what ligma is"
09:28:19 From  Person  to  Everyone : oh no
09:28:19 From  Person  to  Everyone : oh sheee
09:28:21 From  Person  to  Everyone : LMAO
09:28:21 From  Person  to  Everyone : uh oh
09:28:22 From  Person  to  Everyone : Oh no
09:28:23 From  Person  to  Everyone : here we go
09:28:23 From  Person  to  Everyone : noooo
09:28:23 From  Person  to  Everyone : oh no
09:28:24 From  Person  to  Everyone : Uh oh

this is our zoom chat

as you can see, our lecturer is not a fellow kid

Nvm, he just recommended vim as a text editor

he's cool

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing ah, okay .-. weirdly enough i can cancel flags frmo the transcript...

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal Amateur; imagine not using Hex Editor Neo as a text editor - this chat message was sponsored by Hex Editor Neo, a program I have heard of

lyxal

Welp, I'm on my way to go install cygwin.

CMQ: Probability I screw ^ up

caird coinheringaahing

11:36 PM

69%?

lyxal

oh no. we were discussing favourite OS, and someone said amogOS

the lecturer doesn't even know what amogOS is

smh

sussy baka

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal Was that someone you?

lyxal

no, it actually wasn't

i was too busy trying to install cygwin

when I heard amogOS

Redwolf Programs

If anyone here's ever considered buying Super Mario Maker 2, do yourself a favor and don't

Unrelated String

what is problem

Redwolf Programs

11:41 PM

Bad UI, almost all levels bad with no way to filter by quality, frustrating tools for making levels, etc.

Unrelated String

oh yeah the majority of levels are utter garbage

lyxal

oh hey the lecturer uses StackOverflow

very cool

Unrelated String

unbelievable

lyxal

that's the first time I've heard a lecturer mention SO

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal Are they a trusted user?

lyxal

11:43 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing idk, they didn't link their account

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal smh my head

Redwolf Programs

CMQ: How much of ASCII do you have memorized (as in, A is 0x41, ! is 0x21, etc.)?

lyxal

E is 69 in decimal

hyper-neutrino

i know A is 65, a is 97, space is 32, ! is 33, ~ is 126, and that's all i really need to know most of the time

lyxal

zip("bcde", [98, 99, 100, 101])

Redwolf Programs

11:46 PM

I've got the whole printable range memorized by accident

hyper-neutrino

my second term CS class was streamed on twitch lol

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino did you remember to sub with prime?

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms I know A, and can extrapolate the next ~10 from there, same with a. I also know ! :P

hyper-neutrino

@lyxal the channel had donations off

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino and did people use their channel points?

hyper-neutrino

11:47 PM

no channel points either

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino but could you subscribe?

hyper-neutrino

idk

i followed it ofc but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lyxal

like you can have a paid subscription

hyper-neutrino

there were VIP accounts which were given for people who guessed the word of the day whenever there was one :p

Unrelated String

i pretty much just remember space, newline, and A

hyper-neutrino

11:47 PM

i am not sure that was allowed

Unrelated String

not even a just A

hyper-neutrino

the first class on stream someone in chat started posting something about the tiananmen square massacre lol

Unrelated String

like half the time i can remember a is 97 but the other half of the timei either completely draw a blank or manually add 32 in my head

hyper-neutrino

at best they were just trolling, at worst they were trying to get chinese international students in trouble / get them kicked

caird coinheringaahing

Why isn't this closed? Looks like basically all of underhanded challenges are closed and locked

Unrelated String

11:48 PM

yeah that sounds like the copypasta that was designed specifically to try to get chinese users kicked from things

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino Well I guess that's one way to check if anyone in TNB is from china

Unrelated String

at this point it *sort of* has humor value of its own but like
yeah

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing no clue, might've just missed it - i think we can close + relock it if really wanted

@UnrelatedString well i mean it's ironically funny except not actually because it's overdone and on a uni class stream that's just stupid

Unrelated String

yeah

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Looks like there are a few other underhanded questions that are locked but open, are you ok to just unlock + close + relock them if I let you know?

hyper-neutrino

11:50 PM

there wasn't really a way to link twitch accounts to students but there was a warning posted a few days later about chat ettiquette / rules :p

@cairdcoinheringaahing does it matter too much? I am wondering if there's a specific reason to dig them back up and close them alongside the history lock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino idk, I thought there was a meta consensus to close + lock them, like with code-trolling, but underhanded doesn't show anything

Is there anything that close + lock prevents, but lock allows?

hyper-neutrino

> With that in mind, I'd like to propose that underhanded be retired in the same way that code-trolling was, with existing challenges being closed as off topic and locked for historical significance, and future challenges of that type being made unwelcome.

(Alex A.)

@cairdcoinheringaahing not as far as I know; it's history locked so there's literally nothing you can do to it AFAICT
