@user You're 6h late

...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

@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

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

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

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

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

@user HTML as in markdown

Like...formatting

idk

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

:P

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

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

I'm stuck in the time loop too now!

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

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!

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.

I just automatically suck up all unused memory

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

Maybe human souls are stored in a WeakMap

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

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

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

@emanresuA To handle unqiueness we use symbols as keys

@emanresuA Unique? Bah, no one's unique

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

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

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

Um, that was totally my plan all along

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

Aight people, time to break out of the Matrix

We wouldn't want an uncaught exception

Uh-oh

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.

@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..

:o

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

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

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

Wait wait wait whoa

Nonono, don't kill the program!

We're not tryna kill the universe here

>:)

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

We would no longer have cats

... You are technically correct.

Exactly, nothing bad would happen

@RedwolfProgrammed (This is a bad thing)

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

x="exec x";exec x

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)

something something relevant xkcd something :p

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

@RedwolfProgrammed Link plz

(There's like three relevant xkcds for this)

Y'all trynna cause recursion with too many bytes

λx

That's how the cool kids do it

That don't get evaluated dumb-dumb

Yes it does

@user goodreads.com/quotes/…

@user Morning, Headache, and probably another

@lyxal Wait really?

@user yes

Lambdas execute if printed

That's kinda odd behavior but useful, I guess

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

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

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

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

@RedwolfProgrammed A Bunch of Rocks

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

example plz, i bored and wood like to c

Like "unanswered questions tagged uranus, sorted by votes"

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

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

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"

@RedwolfProgrammed you report them to some sort of corruption board

Or sue them for misconduct or something

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:

CMQ: Opinions on dark themes?

Mine are a bit controversial

@RedwolfProgrammed Overrated

I don't dark

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

@DLosc Julia?

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

I just use whatever theme each software gives me by default

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!"

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

Yeah I'm team light theme

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

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

@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

Actually...doesn't look half bad

@user ಠ_ಠ

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

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

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

Anyone on the Default team?

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

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

Except for anything codemirror based

CodeMirror's default theme is sooo bad

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

VS Code is dark by default I think

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

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

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

Hint!

Fork?

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

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

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

@user That gives 417 results on CGCC, actually

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

I'm assuming the results in Cooking were probably coincidences

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

And adapted into a programming term of course

Already tried Wizard

> Legendary 100/150

Only 50 left to go :D

"muggle" is my new favorite search on SO

@Bubbler Nice!

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

@RedwolfProgrammed On the right track!

Elixir

Bingo!

Interesting one

Yay!

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

Meanwhile "potion" gives 5 results on CGCC

That's what I tried before elixir

Anyone interested in another round?

Sure
