@user You're 6h late

user

...That's the ninjaest ninja I've ever seen

Wait I'm dumb, I literally clicked your link from the starboard an hour ago and then saw it when I turned my laptop on again lol

lyxal

@RedwolfProgrammed good luck with that. I can barely get GPT-3 to write JavaScript answers, and that's with training data from numerous github repos

@emanresuA Now that I know it's your idea too I'm gonna do it

And I am, in fact, doing it

Hey does anyone know how to avoid merge conflicts when making a PR? Because in a PR I recently opened, there's like 30+ conflicts even though the branch I want to merge into hasn't been changed at all

Redwolf Programmed

@user Huh, so if there can be HTML in main comments quoted on chat, I wonder where the parsing is done for that

user

But the HTML in main comments isn't really HTML, is it? It's just a small subset of it

DLosc

@user I just came back to The Nineteenth Byte after several hours away and thought, "Huh, nobody posted anything since I was here before?"

Redwolf Programmed

@user HTML as in markdown

Like...formatting

idk

user

Oh nvm I forgot main comments don't have any HTML at all (directly)

@DLosc You're stuck in a time loop, DLosc, wake up!

:P

DLosc

22:37

@user Waah! Wait, didn't you say that before?

Redwolf Programmed

You're stuck in a time loop, DLosc, wake up!

user

I'm stuck in the time loop too now!

Redwolf Programmed

Maybe it's actually time recursion and we'll hit the stack limit soon

user

Nope, whoever implemented the loop seems to have used tail call optimization

Luckily for me, once y'all forget about me, I'll be garbage collected :P

See ya, losers!

Redwolf Programmed

I'd rather cause a memory leak. I'm the sort that would let the world run out of memory as soon as I'm not in it.

lyxal

22:45

I just automatically suck up all unused memory

Feb 25 at 1:00, by Redwolf Programs

All unallocated RAM belongs to Lyxal

user

@RedwolfProgrammed Oh, so you're garbage too, like me? :P

Redwolf Programmed

Maybe human souls are stored in a WeakMap

3

DLosc

@RedwolfProgrammed Waah! Wait, didn't user say that before?

emanresu A

Since humans are unique, don't you mean a WeakSet?

user

@DLosc I'm stuck in the time loop to now!

Redwolf Programmed

22:50

@emanresuA To handle unqiueness we use symbols as keys

user

@emanresuA Unique? Bah, no one's unique

lyxal

@RedwolfProgrammed idk about human souls, but I do know plated are stored in a Cupboard

user

Besides, what is a set but a map with just the hashcode as the key?

DLosc

@user Fortunately, this comment has a syntax error, so maybe we can break out of the loop

user

Um, that was totally my plan all along

Redwolf Programmed

22:51

Yeah but...how robust is the universe's error handling?

user

Aight people, time to break out of the Matrix

Redwolf Programmed

We wouldn't want an uncaught exception

user

yesterday, by user

If God exists, he's sh*t at making universes :P

yesterday, by user

@pxeger But God is a sh*t programmer

Uh-oh

Redwolf Programmed

Maybe we should try a more localised sort of error

What's a function of the universe we know will have try/catch?

Ooh, networking. Let's throw DLosc into a wormhole then divide him by zero.

Sorry DLosc.

DLosc

@user Shoot, wait, it's not a syntax error--it could be a slightly awkward way of saying "until now." At most it'll just be a warning.

I'd rather be modded by zero. That's guaranteed to be an error even if the language can handle infinite values.

OTOH, if mod is implemented as repeated subtraction, that'll just start another infinite loop..

Redwolf Programmed

The universe didn't explode. Let's try breaking out of the time loop!

user

Oh dear, looks like God is one of those people who catches all his exceptions

@RedwolfProgrammed break; return 0 System.exit(-1)!

Redwolf Programmed

Wait wait wait whoa

DLosc

Nonono, don't kill the program!

Redwolf Programmed

22:55

We're not tryna kill the universe here

user

>:)

I mean, nothing bad would happen if the universe just stopped existing ;)

Redwolf Programmed

We would no longer have cats

DLosc

... You are technically correct.

user

Exactly, nothing bad would happen

Redwolf Programmed

@RedwolfProgrammed (This is a bad thing)

If we can't hit the normal recursion limit, let's try this

x="exec x";exec x

user

22:57

Careful, if you eat up too much of the universe's CPU, graphics may suffer (yes I know that doesn't make too much sense)

Redwolf Programmed

something something relevant xkcd something :p

user

I don't want my favorite TV show to be all blurry and monochrome

@RedwolfProgrammed Link plz

Redwolf Programmed

(There's like three relevant xkcds for this)

lyxal

Y'all trynna cause recursion with too many bytes

λx

That's how the cool kids do it

user

That don't get evaluated dumb-dumb

lyxal

22:58

Yes it does

DLosc

@user goodreads.com/quotes/…

Redwolf Programmed

@user Morning, Headache, and probably another

user

@lyxal Wait really?

lyxal

@user yes

Lambdas execute if printed

user

That's kinda odd behavior but useful, I guess

lyxal

23:00

It's probably not printing anything because of error handling (or lack thereof)

Redwolf Programmed

Idea: Language where printing strings evaluates them and they're only actually printed if they cause a syntax error

Bubbler

That would somewhat require every single char to be a syntax error to output everything possible

lyxal

in Vyxal, Jun 24 at 7:23, by lyxal

@Ausername lambdas are now called at end of execution if they are on the top of the stack

Redwolf Programmed

You wouldn't be able to output every possible string, no, unless maybe there was some weird thing with state changing between runs or something

DLosc

@RedwolfProgrammed A Bunch of Rocks

My hobby: Finding oddly specific searches on SE sites that still return plenty of information

user

example plz, i bored and wood like to c

Redwolf Programmed

Like "unanswered questions tagged uranus, sorted by votes"

user

codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/uranus?tab=Votes 0 questions :(

Redwolf Programmed

I did it on Astronomy, makes a bit more sense there :p

Redwolf Programmed

23:26

photo.stackexchange.com/questions/126561/… is such a strange question

It's like someone asking "how do I keep my defense attorney from faking evidence against me"

lyxal

@RedwolfProgrammed you report them to some sort of corruption board

Or sue them for misconduct or something

DLosc

Let's play Guess That Search Term! I typed a single word (not a tag) into the search box on several different SE sites, and here are the result counts:

Redwolf Programmed

CMQ: Opinions on dark themes?

Mine are a bit controversial

DLosc

Law: 0
Cooking: 7
Puzzling: 8
Unix: 16
Board Games: 23
Worldbuilding: 36
RPG: 88
Code Review: 117
Code Golf: 144
SciFi: 159
Stack Overflow: 22,603

user

@RedwolfProgrammed Overrated

Bubbler

23:30

I don't dark

user

I do quite like many of the dark themes I see, but they really hurt my eyes, especially when I'm in a brightly-lit room

Redwolf Programmed

@DLosc Julia?

DLosc

@RedwolfProgrammed I can't imagine TIO any other way than dark, but I generally use light themes.

Bubbler

I just use whatever theme each software gives me by default

user

On top of that, some websites have these really awful dark themes just so they can tell people "hey look, we have dark mode, come visit!"

Redwolf Programmed

23:31

Oh wow, lots more light theme support here than I expected

Yeah I'm team light theme

DLosc

@RedwolfProgrammed Nope--that has 1,659 hits on CGCC

Redwolf Programmed

Except for things that are dark by default since they tend to be designed with that in mind

user

@RedwolfProgrammed ~~Light supremacists unite!~~

@RedwolfProgrammed Yeah, I tried turning my terminal light, did not end well :P

Actually, I could probably have gotten it to look okay with a little more tweaking

Redwolf Programmed

Actually...doesn't look half bad

DLosc

@user ಠ_ಠ

user

23:34

It's okay when everything's black and white, but with colored text (yellow and red) it just doesn't go that well with white/gray backgrounds

Redwolf Programmed

Does anyone like solarized themes? I find them kinda weird.

user

Those tinted sort of themes feel off

I really liked Dracula, actually, but it was too blue+purple for me

Sublime let me edit it a bit, but it's harder in VS Code (which I now use because using Sublime for free made me feel guilty)

@user IntelliJ's Darcula, however, is not great, would not recommend

Bubbler

Anyone on the Default team?

Redwolf Programmed

If by that you mean just leaving the default theme, me

user

Only when the default is light or the OS theme :P

Redwolf Programmed

23:38

Except for anything codemirror based

CodeMirror's default theme is sooo bad

DLosc

@Bubbler I think I am, although most things default to light so it's hard to tell the difference between Light and Default

Bubbler

VS Code is dark by default I think

user

And then there's things where the only options are Light and Default...and they're the exact same theme

Bubbler

but interestingly Gitpod's web-based VS Code interface is light by default

user

Huh, so does Gitpod make customizations to their VS Code thing before giving it to us?

I thought it was always a fresh thing each time

DLosc

23:43

@DLosc Anyone else interested in guessing before I reveal the answer? I can also give hints

Redwolf Programmed

Hint!

user

Fork?

DLosc

Or you can ask for the result count from a site I haven't mentioned

Redwolf Programmed

It's an interesting puzzle but I have no clue what to try

DLosc

@RedwolfProgrammed Hint: It is six letters and is an English word

@user That gives 417 results on CGCC, actually

spooky-neutrino

23:46

i'm trying to think of something that's connected enough to cooking to appear but only very few times

user

I'm assuming the results in Cooking were probably coincidences

Redwolf Programmed

RPG, Worldbuilding, and SciFi hint toward it possible being magical/fictional in nature?

And adapted into a programming term of course

Already tried Wizard

Bubbler

> Legendary 100/150

Only 50 left to go :D

Redwolf Programmed

"muggle" is my new favorite search on SO

@Bubbler Nice!

DLosc

@user Not coincidence, but not quite a literal usage of the term either.

@RedwolfProgrammed On the right track!

Redwolf Programmed

23:49

Elixir

DLosc

Bingo!

user

Interesting one

Redwolf Programmed

Yay!

Bubbler

I'm surprised we have that many Elixir-related posts

Meanwhile "potion" gives 5 results on CGCC

Redwolf Programmed

That's what I tried before elixir

DLosc

23:55

Anyone interested in another round?

user

Sure
