triffic! tr solved it, thanks
this is definitely the best chat room on the internet
well that and the tex.se one :)
 
(^^ゞ
my cat is screaming at me
what is dolbaeb
 
Russian word for "dickhead", I think?
not entirely sure why WW posted it
 
updated: just tried to lean over to pet her and she smacked my hand away
i am very proud of my joke
 
I hate that Windows uses two characters for newlines
Parsing is so annoying
 
@user lol bigger byte count for windows golfers
 
3:14 PM
@pxeger If someone else had posted it, I would assume it's star bait, but it's WW, a mod, so that's unlikely (and the fact that it was WW who randomly posted "dolbaeb" somehow makes it more funny)
 
@user me too!
 
@PyGamer0 no, I'm Ginger Industries.
 
@GingerIndustries I was going to say I always TIO, which uses \n, but I just remembered I have a few answers where I ran stuff locally, maybe I need to go check which encoding I used for them
 
TIL this exists:
 
?
What have you been using all this time?
 
3:17 PM
@user the power of their mind
she's still screaming

@hyper-neutrino While it's true that you should teach people how stuff works and why it's bad, I think it's much easier to say "don't click on this!" in a comment than to take the time out to explain why, because tbh no one really reads long articles and stuff
 
i dunno sometimes star bait works
 
@pxeger Huh, I guess WW might just be a shitposter then
 
@user *golfposter
 
3:25 PM
@user definitely
 
TNB is one of the easiest places to get a starred message
 
Jan 9 at 15:23, by Wheat Wizard
@pxeger No you don't understand part of the plan is that it would entirely annihilate all aquatic live.
the whole conversation surrounding this was a bit of a shitpost
 
Jan 9 at 15:51, by Ginger Industries
"the ghastly legions of sea-monsters" just another normal morning at TNB :/
 
WW is a master troll
 
Jan 9 at 18:06, by Fatalize
To be fair I should have guessed it was not a PPCG language when I saw that there were actual efforts in documentation and implementations :p
:|
tbh I think the attitude of this room towards stars was clear on the very first day.
 
3:31 PM
those weren't necessarily starred on the first day
 
@pxeger being late to the party is also a core tenet of TNB
 
@GingerIndustries no, they're referring to "your" late
Is that your cat's name?
 
@mathcat no, they are named Pixel and Luna
 
Luna + Pixel = Lyxal
Checkmate, atheists
 
Luna + Pixel -> Lixal -> Licks-all -> Lyxal licks all -> Checkmate, lyxal
 
3:44 PM
wait
ginger's cats are lyxal confirmed?!?!?!?1/1/1?!??!\s
 
yes
1+ sign
@lyxal you cat
 
TIL that NORTHWESTERNMUTUAL is a valid internet TLD
 
TIL 6=2×2+1
 
@PyGamer0 >:(
 
?
 
3:50 PM
>:(
oh ma gawd
 
APL makes you sad?
 
how to register domain name
 
@GingerIndustries read "How To"
(by Randall)
 
@PyGamer0 not in there
 
How To 2?
what about How To X?
TMN be like a*x <-> ax soo 3*4 <-> 34
 
3:56 PM
4=3
my cats are god
lyxal is my cats
therefore, lyxal is god
uh oh
 
CMP: Find one thing, inconsistent with TMN.
@GingerIndustries echo "uh oh" | rev
TIL about rev
 
@PyGamer0 ho huh
 
@GingerIndustries grep "s+" | wc | rev
 
CMC: In Jelly, map a link over every line in STDIN, and exit without error.
You may assume the input ends with two trailing newlines (otherwise it's impossible (without ŒV))
I have 8 bytes.
 
@PyGamer0 /usr/share/android/vm/Adobe/FlashPlayerx64-Win10/Plugins/GEmu/C/Users/Main/AppData/Local/lx-bin/grep.doc.exe: Error: Unable to open network socket: Device not responding
 
4:02 PM
CMC: Sort the input ... using flax
 
how to host webserver
 
@pxeger oops, mine doesn't even work...
 
ok so I'm going to try to get me a domain name
 
ilovevyxal.com is not taken yet
 
4:12 PM
problem: gingerindustries.com is taken
I didn't intend to use it but that could cause some issues
 
@ophact looks ready to post to me
 
CMQ: Is it okay for me to keep the name Ginger Industries if there's already a company with that name?
 
@GingerIndustries can you get ginger.industries?
 
@pxeger that's what I want
Google Domains says $30
 
@GingerIndustries woah
per yer?
 
4:17 PM
@mathcat yup
 
I once considered buying one
 
darn math.cat is taken
 
but I thought it might not be useful until I make some big projects
@GingerIndustries yup
but not se-nitro.cat/com
 
well, math.XN--VERMGENSBERATUNG-PWB isn't taken
mathcat.wow?
 
or ilovevyxal.com
 
4:20 PM
ohoho lyx.al isn't taken
todo: make that redirect to the Esolangs article on Gibberish
 
Dec 14 '21 at 22:03, by Adám
vyx.al
 
also not taken!
>:)
i am poor and cannot afford more than 1 domain but if any of yall have some spare cash do it
this is my revenge
WAIT
WAIIIIIIIT
 
@GingerIndustries butactually
 
stup.id ISN'T TAKEN
 
@pxeger Thank you, will post
 
4:23 PM
@GingerIndustries seems to be
 
hmm
maybe my computer is just square brain
squarebra.in isn't taken
 
I already have mathcat.surge.sh
who needs more than that?
 
although that dot's a bit... unfortunately placed
 
@pxeger the shortest fully-functioning variant I've managed to make is ƓLпḊṖÇŒṘ$€Y
but it doesn't properly map, which is what I'd really like
 
@pxeger prounounced "Goldidepsersy"
xn--vermgensberatung-pwb is the longest TLD
huh, the IANA TLD registry is currently version 2022022000.
 
4:29 PM
in 2 days' time, it will be tuesday (twosday) the 2nd of the 2nd 2022
 
@pxeger My challenge is not a duplicate, right? Tried hard to find something, only found a vaguely related challenge.

Q: Disassemble tables

ophactGiven a string that represents a bunch of tables stacked on top of each other and/or arranged side-by-side, disassemble all the tables. Tables A table looks like this: ------- | | | | More formally, a table has a tabletop, composed of n dashes, and two visible legs. (Obviously, there are...

 
@pxeger So the french students of my class, are writing their 2 test of the semester about Unit 2
@pxeger and no
not tuesday
that's for loosers
it'll be Chairconflict
 
@ophact I haven't searched much, but I'm not aware of any duplicates
and I doubt there is an exact duplicate
 
4:36 PM
Yes, too late. The challenge is posted already. @pxeger
 
@RadvylfPrograms let's demonstrate
 
Today is North Timothy
 
yes
 
I wonder if Chairconflict will be anything like Chairporcupine
Okay, that's enough unicode spam
 
4:39 PM
@RadvylfPrograms (which is a message that needs to be sent far too often here)
4
 
@RadvylfPrograms nah, Chairconflict will be more epic
 
You'd think Chairconflict would be exactly a week later, like how a week from now is South Timothy, but a week after Chairporcupine will be Highminuzzz
 
@RadvylfPrograms just move it here
 
@lyxal ⃠ʬ UNICODE CHARACTER NO WHEAT WIZARD
 
4:54 PM
@GingerIndustries Why wouldn't it be? Are you expecting a Josh fight-like thing where you face off against a company?
 
@user exactly
Ginger Industries vs. Ginger Industries
eventually I do intend to become a company
 
5:49 PM
You mean, like, metamorphose into a company yourself?
One day you're human, the next you're a glass building?
 
Can I leave a review for Ginger Industries on Glassdoor?
 
6:08 PM
in The Firing Range, 21 secs ago, by Ginger Industries
OLIMAR has been fixed!
 
6:48 PM
@lyxal I should probably make that the default. Let me guess, FizzBuzz?
@mathcat Nooooooo... You got me good.
 
( ◣∀◢)ψ
 
7:04 PM
Okay is this a typo or is there new math I haven't heard about yet: dT / dt = -k(T - 70), T(0) = 140
 
T's change over time is proportional to k(70 - T)
 
@RadvylfPrograms new math just dropped
 
It looks like a population model
 
is there a way in bash to pipe commands like A | B | C but C also receives data from A?
 
So like, A is being piped to both B and C, and B is also being piped to C?
 
7:08 PM
yeah, something like that
 
@emanresuA Well sure but like...that doesn't help
I guess you get something like t = \int dT / -k(T - 70)
But like, no clue if I treat k as a constant, or do some other weird thing
Wait, so I get T = e ** -tk + 70
And there's no solution for 70 = e ** -0k
Oh wait a + C should go somewhere
But then you get 70 = e ** kC, which has infinitely many solutions (assuming I'm allowed to set the value of k)
 
@hyper-neutrino Could do something like a=$(A); cat $a $(echo $a | B) | C?
 
hmm, interesting. i'll see if that works, thanks (i should mention that i'm asking for a friend so idk exactly what the commands are lol)
 
7:25 PM
Do note that I have literally never used bash (apart from basic stuff like git commit -am "comit" and rm -rf --no-preserve-root /)
So your friend should treat those commands like they're drug-infused candy from a stranger :P
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ o/
 
7:43 PM
@hyper-neutrino Zsh: exec {a}<<(A); C <&$a <(B <&$a)
then make sure to close &$a: exec {a}>&-
@pxeger actually I don't think this works, because only one of B and C can read a at one time
Ok this one actually works (and even in bash!): ato.pxeger.com/…
mkfifo f
A | tee f | C <(B <f)

mathcatPlay Caesar's Cipher with Letters only Description The Caesar cipher is a cipher, where every letter in the alphabet will be rotated by a secret number. If the rotation is \$7\$, then a -> h, g -> n, v -> c and z -> g. Today, we're playing Caesar's Cipher with ASCII chars, (0-127 inclusive). So, ...

> Zsh was once accused of not being as complete as Emacs, because it lacked a Tetris game. This function was written to refute this vicious slander.
or the improved version:
 
lol nice
 
 
1 hour later…
10:00 PM
Ah, more YT comment section fun
> Why do you need to point out where New Zealand is?
You'd be surprised, lots of people leave us off maps. Us New Zealanders are raised to assume nobody knows where we are.
So sad to hear New Zealand is this level of stupid, then.
 
10:14 PM
Why does coffee smell so good but taste so bitter? I'll never understand it
Every time I walk by someone drinking coffee, the aroma makes me desire it, but then when I actually get coffee, I have to put like 7 teaspoons of sugar into it to make it halfway palatable
 
10:30 PM
Idea: Negative rep bounties
 
How are you supposed to use it?
 
Click "start a bounty", then pick a negative number for the amount
 
Idea: Bounties where the rep can be a dual number.
 
@RadvylfPrograms So it you get rid of the answer's rep, and you get rep?
 
Yeah. Or, a slightly more realistic version would take rep from both
 
10:40 PM
@GingerIndustries it's just a matter of waiting for people to actually use my github sponsors page and donate enough to cover the monthly cost of the domain
 
@RadvylfPrograms ...why would you need that?
One user could just negative bounty every person on the site and become all-powerful
 
10:57 PM
Ik lol, I'm joking I have used words to make a humorous comment
 
It's a chat message, not a comment smh
 
Comment in the non-technical meaning
 
@user but then everyone could negative bounty that one person and claim power back
 
Anarcho-moderationism
And we even have our own manifesto
The Theory of Moderation
 
Real chaos would be allowing anyone to demod anyone and steal moderacy from people
 
11:16 PM
Nah they'd just negative bounty people so low they no longer have the bounty privilege
 
Negative bountying would be allowed at any amount of rep above -50
And as with downvoting you can't bring someone's rep below 1
 
Oh no, then CGCC would just be a constant warzone
 
11:55 PM
@mathcat that made me wonder, so I tried visiting ba.sh but it's just a default page
