Who's that?

music band?

@PyGamer0 When I got the booster my arm didn't even really hurt, and I didn't feel sick or anything.

For the second shot I did get a tiny bit sick, but not too much

And for the first, same as the booster

So my immune system's either a lot better than y'all's or it's just too lazy to care, and I'm betting on the second if it's anything like I am

Adám

My experience was pretty much the same for all three shots (Pfeizer); pretty bad soreness building up over two days, then diminishing over two days.

My partner had the same experience with the first two, but then had Moderna as booster, losing consciousness the day after the shot. Spent some time in the ER/A&E.

Whoa

wha

My arm just hurt for a couple days for all the shots, I feel lucky now

2:37 PM

ok now my hand (the portion i got my vaccine) is paining

@user i have my exams in a couple of days, and i write with my left hand

good luck then

truly the worst time i could have gotten a vaccine lmao

That sucks

Why didn't you get it on the other arm?

lets see how long it pains for

@user \_○_○_/

Seriously...I just deleted a college spam email, and I look back at my inbox and I have another one

2:39 PM

Careful there, don't raise your left arm too high or it'll hurt :P

i didnt know i could do that :p

I don't know how Montana State hasn't gotten the memo

@user ouch you are right

@RedwolfPrograms If it's any consolation, it's gotten better for me now (I'm a senior)

That's good

2:40 PM

I assume they target juniors more

Or maybe Gmail's just gotten better at classifying those emails as spam :P

And I'm a sophomore, so it's probably going to get pretty bad next year

:|

Expect to get emails not only from colleges you've literally never shown interest in, but also from colleges whom you've applied and been accepted to

:/ :| :\

:-

Prolog fan?

so :/ :| :\ :-

@user i never used it

idk hello world

2:42 PM

Just mentioning it because prolog uses f(A) :- body. iirc

@PyGamer0 I think it's as simple as ?- writeln("Hello world"). Don't quote me on that though

which paradigm is prolog

Logic

Logic? Declarative?

Ninja'd

Logic?

5th generation

2:43 PM

€_£

It's quite interesting, you solve predicates

£_€

yeah ill stick with APL for now

So if you want to find the greater of two numbers, you wouldn't write a function, you'd do f(A, B, A) :- A > B. or something like that

@PyGamer0 You can learn both APL and Prolog

It's just a cool new paradigm to see

no thanks

:(

2:47 PM

f =: 1 % 2 NB. Gives 0.5 :)

@PyGamer0 Just see this and feel the awesomeness of unification or whatever it is Prolog uses

today I unaccepted an answer, and it keeps confusing me that my rep gained is +178 (or whatever)

I never understood why accepting an answer gave you rep anyway

Probably just to encourage newbies to do it, because otherwise there's absolutely no incentive

I assume it's incentive for not leaving a question with an unaccepted answer, but if an answer really helps you, you'd do it anyway

2:50 PM

@user ⍎⌽⍕⌈*○≡⍬

@user You'd be surprised

Then you have people (like me after first joining SO :( ) who accept answers just to get rep

@PyGamer0 Is that Extended?

@user probably no

no

Oh it's just this font being weird lol

3:04 PM

hello

Hi!

@GingerIndustries the cat's looking really disappointed

one sec, I updated the picture

alr

just cropped it slightly

@RedwolfPrograms I probably should've clarified, when I said I would also do that I was not referring to saying "cool, nobody asked", I was referring to editing a message after sending it for comedic effect

TIL you can phone (!) replit to run code. hotline.replit.com

what

3:11 PM

Reminds me of the flag-down-and-ice-cream-truck-and-hand-them-a-floppy-disk thing from xkcd :p

:p]? New emoticon?

this must be an april fools joke

Razetime

it definitely has to be

can somone try this

we must know

I wish I could, I'm in school :(

Razetime

it's gotta be a rickroll

i cannot overseas call rn

3:12 PM

Maybe I could tell the teacher it's an emergency

hmmm

also Dancing Emoji Generator is functional

I am very proud of my accomplishment :)

one sec, I'm gonna add a "cursed mode" that removes the charset tag

Ooh +1

@GingerIndustries it does seem to actually work

+1 what? cookies?

although I tried running 7*2 in Python, and it said "we've run into an internal error"

6

3:14 PM

Brownie points

@pxeger that's the best compliment I've gotten today

oh you were referring to the hotline

They were talkimg about the replit thing not your emoji generator :p

ninja'd

I thought you meant the generator

oh

;-;

3:15 PM

Is :]p a :] with a weird beard, or a :p with a weird moustache? Discuss.

hmmmm

This will be 50% of your final grade.

hmmmm

good thing I gave myself extra credit on the other part of the quiz

It's an alien with two mouths

I need an emoji to test Cursed Mode on

@GingerIndustries (ಠ_■)⌐ / (ಠ_■)-⌐ / (ಠ_■)--⌐

@RedwolfPrograms out of those options it looks more like the moustache, but I think the ] should be a nose

beautiful

how to use it?

copy into web browser

3:20 PM

just paste it into the URL bar

Without cursed mode and with a really high frame speed, it looks like his arm is a machine gun

also Cursed Mode appears to be stuck on

one sec

(I was going more for a punch type thing, but it looks more like recoil since I put the in-between frame in the wrong spot)

it's outputing this: (à² _â– )âŒ

fixed it

3:21 PM

@mathcat It's cursed mode, add <meta charset=utf-8> for non-cursed

reload for non-cursed to work

I just had it checking value instead of checked

was the space intentional?

@mathcat eh?

whoops

@RedwolfPrograms pure art

Somebody who's sleep deprived and doesn't know the answer to your question:

data:text/html,<html style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta charset=utf-8><script>i=0;setInterval(_=>document.body.textContent=["%20%E2%94%90%20._.%E2%94%8E","%20%E2%94%90%2C_.%20%E2%94%8E",][i++%2],100)</script>

tbh these should be exportable as GIFs

anyone know how to use <canvas>?

I do

my saviour

And maybe there should be some sort of condensed base64 representation that's shorter than the full links

So you can just paste that into your generator

3:26 PM

I did think that

one sec, lemme make the b64 thing

can you try the gif part? I am not large brain enough for that

I'm not actually sure how to do a gif with canvas, PNGs are easy, but I'll have to do a google

nice

thx

...

you're atting me

2

3:29 PM

I'm also going to add text formatting

because yes

Saving as webm seems possible, but gifs aren't part of the MediaRecorder API :/

webm then i guess

;-;

Maybe permalinks would be a better option

Since webms wouldn't be onebox-able anyway

I'm working on font formatting first, then permalinks

Perhaps JSON+UTF-8+base64 would work

3:31 PM

what

so i'm going to do it like this:

First 4 characters: Font ID and size
Next 2 characters: Number of frames
Everything after that: Frame data

tbh your idea is better tho

i'm going to appropriate it

Use a TextEncoder for UTF-8

doesn't valid JSON technically need to escape unicode characters, so it's ASCII only? (even though JS's JSON.stringify doesn't do that)

eh, we can just store each character as a Unicode codepoint

btoa([...new TextEncoder().encode(" ┐ ._.┎")].map(c => String.fromCharCode(c)))

Like that

3:35 PM

This will encode arbitrary text as base64

Lemme make a decoder

Wait, you need a .join("")

btoa([...new TextEncoder().encode(" ┐ ._.┎")].map(c => String.fromCharCode(c)).join(""))

Decoder:

new TextDecoder().decode(new Uint8Array([...atob('IOKUkCAuXy7ilI4=')].map(c => c.charCodeAt())))

got it

So probably just encode the frames, font, and timing as an object and JSON.stringify it, then use that encoder

Replace + with - and / with _ for web safe base64

formatting appears to work

And you can drop the =s entirely

so the idea would be to just have the url be like https://<site>/show#<b64>?

3:43 PM

Yep

I'd use a ? though, personally

@RedwolfPrograms what's the difference?

I don't know too much about the technical differences, but ? seems more fitting

if you use # for that, then you can't use # for linking to specific parts of the page (which is what # is supposed to be for, and does by default), which you might want in future

with ?, you have to specify the name (i.e. /show/?b64=<b64>) but with # you can just use it (i.e. /show/#<b64>)

@pxeger this page will never have anything that isn't the animation, so in this case it doesn't matter

Fair enough, I guess

wow, our very own @U12-forward and @double-beep topped the winter bash hat leaderboard

yay

nice

CGCC is clearly the site on which users have too much free time

@Wezl-acautionarytale NOO

3:51 PM

you don't like my animation?

@Wezl-acautionarytale :/

I er like it

really

of course

You beat me to it, I was going to do a rickroll :p

3:51 PM

REALLY

ಠ_ಠ

4:06 PM

How's the permalinking going?

@RedwolfPrograms I've gotten encoding done, working on decoding and display

Nice. Permalinks should make things a lot easier.

@RedwolfPrograms ???

You should also probably make it so people can't inject JS into the emoji

I tried

4:14 PM

JSON.stringify the .value first

That should give you a properly escaped string

why is mee6 (the discord moderation bot) making an nft

wth

Is there a data structure similar to a list where inserting items is O(log n) or better, as well as finding the index of an item?

Linked lists or binary search could give me either of those, but I don't see an easy way to combine them to get both

binary search trees are log N insertion, removal, and search IIRC

Oh cool, thanks!

although they're sorted so not really like a list, but you also can't binary search in a list anyway

4:21 PM

Yeah, I don't need to handle duplicates/ordering items, I just need a fast way to check if something's already in the list/tree

why not a hashset then

Because I know literally nothing about data structures :p

Just stumbled across the wikipedia page for those and they seem like they'd work

hashsets give you amortized O(1) for insertion, membership check, and removal

it almost works
https://dancing-emoji.gingerindustries.repl.co/show.html#eyJtZXRhIjp7ImZvbnQiOiJzZXJpZiIsImZvbnRzaXplIjoiMTYiLCJjdXJzZWQiOmZhbHNlLCJzcGVlZCI6IjUwMCJ9LCJmcmFtZXMiOlsiKCVFMCVCMiVBMF8lRTIlOTYlQTApJUUyJThDJTkwIiwiKCVFMCVCMiVBMF8lRTIlOTYlQTApLSVFMiU4QyU5MCIsIiglRTAlQjIlQTBfJUUyJTk2JUEwKS0tJUUyJThDJTkwIl19

(still O(n) worst-case though)

4:25 PM

[term] redirects here. For the South Park episode, see [page]. For the IRC command, see [page]

yeah. you'd have to have some terrible luck or intentionally designed data to get that tho

@RedwolfPrograms A data structure, south park episode, and IRC command....quite the variety of things :p

the Holy Trinity

@hyper-neutrino or just a poorly designed hash function

@RedwolfPrograms "rehash", for those wondering

@pxeger true

would you get that from bad probing or does that not really matter so much if your hash function is half decent

4:28 PM

I don't think bad probing would cause it

Bad probing wouldn't change the complexity, but is slower for other reasons like because of CPU cache locality

If you design the hashset's memory management poorly, you could get slow insertion and removal more than almost never

And if you overfill it / use too few buckets you could have lots of hash collisions

I made a user-friendly text animator!

my first data url

I'm not clicking a data URI which is base64 encoded for obvious obfuscation reasons

oh look, a rickroll, whoever could have guessed

setTimeout(function( ) { clearInterval(id); window.location.replace("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ");}, list.length*2000);

@mathcat very user-friendly

@pxeger actually I did it because it didn't work otherwise

@pxeger sssssssssh we don't need to ruin people's happiness and joy and fun

wizzwizz4

4:38 PM

@mathcat You could've removed the spaces.

then it would've worked?

language with string subtraction

I've occasionally wished Python had list negation, so that -[1, 2] * -2 == [1, 2] * 2
