Q: Spaceship shooter

DialFrostYour task is to output a spaceship of size n with shooters/guns and n bullets of character - (with spaces in between each bullet) for each gun Rules If n is odd, you must output the guns every even numbered row If n is even, you must output the guns every odd numbered row All rows with guns mu...

Posted @RadvylfPrograms thx for ur tips
Ok someone is sussy
Whos doenvoting my challenges lmao
ooh
just hit 990 on today's semantle in 23 guesses
time to see how long it takes for 1000 :)
lel ok so we are doing semantle again, time to lose my sanity once more
5, apparently
wait, u already solved it???
in 28 guesses
hit 488 on guess 3
10 guesses in, still not top 1000 yet
:\
00:10
looking at the top 1000 list i now need to look up what the fuck kind of word is 987 lmao
oh i got a top 1000 word, took 15 guesses tho
ooooh am at 926/1000 now
nice
i never got 926 but that should get you there
ok so i have 273 and 926 rn
still not getting it
00:13
ooh
273's a nice one
i suspect that absolutely nobody has or will hit 903 lmao
Everything I've got is car accident-related
@allxy oh, huh
00:17
oh those arent that high
i was about to say i don't see anything like that in the top 1000
im not getting any other top 1000 other than 926 and 273, very sad
not much to go off of
Ooh got #86
00:19
ooh
nice
bruh how did u get this is 28 guesses???
extreme luck
im already at 25, not even close to the answer it seems
my first guess was -0.83 lmao
@UnrelatedString my first guess was -1.33 :P
00:21
nice
i got the urge to put in banana for some reason
460 is my best thusfar
ok i got 230, idk how helpful that is
...hard to say
00:26
My first guess was 23.24
And I haven't made much progress since
huh i got 775, interesting
Wait what I got it?
the most unhelpful hint i can think of that leads directly to the exact right solution and nothing in between is spoiler
Holy crap that was utter luck
@lyxal nice
00:29
@UnrelatedString I just put in words from the title of a song I was thinking of and I got it
that's the Semantle Experience™
nice
wtfffff, how are ppl getting so quick while im just here struggling
I got extremely lucky
@UnrelatedString I didn't know spoiler was a valid wordle guess :P
It was guess #111 and I wasn't expecting it to work
00:29
lmao
ok so i have 926, 775, 273, and 230 :\
unfortunately it is not
Combine you and HN and it becomes valid :P
@UnrelatedString yes very helpful hint, i totally know what spoiler is
I'm 75 guesses in and the best I've gotten is 24.84 :|
00:33
im so confused rn, i thought it was smth sports related, but none of the sports i tried are even remotely similar to the actual word
22.12 with 70 guesses
Any guesses on the number of unread inbox notifs OSP has? :P
a more helpful hint is spoiler
240
Ooh I got #926
00:34
@RadvylfPrograms lel thats the one i have too
@user That's... a lot :P
been scratching my head on that one for so long
@cairdcoinheringaahing 120?
48 lol :P
people don't respond that often to it :P
#725
#183
I think I'm getting close maybe?
00:37
is it not a sport, wtf
feel like im being terribly misled again
@AidenChow what makes it so profoundly unhlepful is there's 8 of them lmao
@UnrelatedString idk any of them except for ur current one :P
whaaat, how u get 990 :|
im still at 926 with no ideas on what to guess
00:39
probably the way i did :P
imagine needing anywhere in the 900s
made by luck gang
00:50
0_0 i got 990
bruh i got it
finally
i thought it was a sport at first lel
@AidenChow that's very [big shot] of you
00:55
I've got more than 20 top-100 words related so sports uggghh
you can probably get it from the kind of sports somehow
i was getting top 1000 words like spoiler, no wonder i couldnt get it for so long
once i got 990 did i realize that i was on the wrong track
bro
-1 votes
yeah frankly i have no idea how spoiler is related at all
is my challenge bad :(
00:57
my first guess had negative similarity
@DialFrost its definitely on the simpler side, but i wouldnt say its bad
@hyper-neutrino hehe, me too
ppl dislike me wahhhh :(
i guessed banana first guess for some reason, -1.33
@DialFrost I think you've got some malicious downvoters who are just downvoting all of your challenges
I see nothing wrong with this one
00:59
Maybe even mod flag, if the same people are just downvoting all your stuff indiscriminately I'm pretty sure that's not allowed
Sandbox posts last active a week ago: Smallest Bit Rotate
@OldSandboxPosts thank you OSP very cool
Now that I got it it makes so much sense :|
@RadvylfPrograms lol ikr
01:04
Had to rely on some of y'all's hints, I had more than 30 sports related top 1000 words
Across all sorts of sports too
i was tripped up on sports too
You're the one who got me tripped up on sports :p
@RadvylfPrograms oh really??? hehe
01:23
my semantle results cuz why not:
I solved Semantle #53 in 82 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.58 (894/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/
why is this the third time 82 has come up as an exact number of guesses
I solved Semantle #53 in 111 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 23.24. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.56. semantle.novalis.org
I solved Semantle #53 in 28 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.83. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 14.90. semantle.novalis.org
@UnrelatedString lol what a flex, solving in 28 guesses
I had 95 guesses
A friend got 990, I got 997, another friend got it.
01:27
@allxy huh, so u and ur friends were working together to solve?
i just lost 10 rep to an account deletion
guess my week of not feeling like answering anything because i was at 13333 rep is over :P
Oof ouch -20 for me
-0 for me
who just +10ed me
@UnrelatedString it may continue now
01:33
+10 for me, tho I suspect it's unrelated from the account deletion
@UnrelatedString whomst'd've you think?
@cairdcoinheringaahing That could be parsed weirdly
Tho the +10 did give me my first Enlightened badge :D
nice
@allxy LMAO
01:34
@allxy damn users, having usernames consisting of words
@cairdcoinheringaahing What's wrong with user? Also, you missed an apostrophe in there somewhere
damn user, having a username consisting of user
@lyxal I don't think I did miss an apostrophe
users -> user's
The plural of "user" is "users", the plural of "username" is "usernames" and the plural of "word" is "words"
01:36
You missed funny joke
my bad, lemme make up for it
69 is hella sus and cringe
@cairdcoinheringaahing My only enlightened badge is on puzzling
wait oops wrong acc
May 11, 2021 at 1:23, by caird coinheringaahing
@lyxal frick, only 10/10 not 69/420? I failed as a crewmate, hella sus. Let me just go commit frick and die
wrong acct? ppl have more than one acct here??
or wait, is acc even stand for account
@allxy I have 4 on meta, because accepting and first (aka only) answer are both much more common there
@AidenChow Annoyingly, yes
The Radvylf hivemind will soon control all accounts
So it doesn't really matter
01:38
I believe allxy is either lyxal or emanresu, but, given that emanresu isn't here, I'm leaning towards lyxal
Nah, I'm emanresu
i know allxy was lyxal at some point but then there was that pfp swap
Also, allyx is another sock
IDK whose allyx is
neither do I
01:39
Their only answers are in Risky
so I'm leaning towards Radvylf or Aaroneous
Also, guess who "chamtat" is
All I know is that this is me
And that that is me too
Yeah, any more socks will get kicked
da hell, why is there another lyxal???????????
@lyxal is true
01:41
@AidenChow to demonstrate which account is mine
I only have 2 accounts
I need to get back to answering more on meta, I'm only 50 answers and 185 upvotes away from being one of 2 non-mods to be able to hammer on meta :D
@lyxal this one and the one whomst replied to me
Any one else with similar letters is not me

I solved Semantle #53 in 64 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.99 (993/1000). semantle.novalis.org
att
att
last few guesses just trying variations :/
01:47
i got it without going through variations because spoiler
er, infinitive
@cairdcoinheringaahing I use this account at school for google account reasons. Please don't kick me.
wait so making two accts is allowed?
As long as they don't interact with each other
And as long as the original account is allowed to participate
Alternatively you can do things like:
For example
So long as you aren't disruptive to rooms that are otherwise meant to be on topic, and as long as you don't do things like voting fraud etc, you're fine to do so
02:05
oh ok
how much rep is needed to talk in chatroom again
20
anyway yeah don't cause trouble with socks
esp if ppl start impersonating or lying about identity
alr, so its fine if i make an acct with my school gmail to talk in chat while im at school right
i may have to start nuking them and suspending people ಠ_ಠ which i hope i do not have to start doing
@AidenChow wait, why does it have to be on your school email?
@hyper-neutrino uhhh i cant sign in on my personal gmail while in school for some reason :\
huh
can you not log in to SE directly?
02:07
i login with google acct
@AidenChow Yeah same, this is why i have this account
i believe you can just create credentials to sign in directly
lemme see
go to user account > settings > my logins
and i think you can add a direct password credential
I kinda want to get this account to 3k rep so I can vtc as dupe without hammering
Would that be fine as long as I don't interact with the question with my main account?
lol just casually getting to 3k rep, no problem at all
*me not even at 3k rep :((*
i think that is fine? lemme ask to be sure but if you only vote on one account it should be fine
i personally advise against using alts for anything other than testing but that doesn't mean it's disallowed
02:16
If you had the choice to be able to vtc without hammering, would you?
ohhhh i can add a login to my acct, i dont have to make a new acct
@allxy all the way
i feel like close hammering only makes sense at all on high volume sites like so
Or on old questions here
More properly sites that have too little community moderation activity
oh yeah there are some where moderation activity is just kind of dead
02:19
I (emanresu) occasionally bring up those here but there's usually not 5 3k+ people active when I do.
Stack Overflow, incidentally, does fall into the category of "too little moderation activity", because it has so many questions that the curators are overwhelmed.
and whenever moderation does accomplish something people complain about it on reddit
But sites can also get there because everyone, or everyone bar one person, has stopped caring. For example, see opendata.stackexchange,com, where I have a tag wiki suggested edit pending since February 20.
(edited to fix the date)
02:21
i thought you meant exactly a year ago today :P
I did have an almost-a-year-old flag here, back when Doorknob was the only moderator
@hyper-neutrino yep, it is fine
@allxy yes; i basically never VTC things nowadays

Q: May a diamond moderator utilize a second, non-diamond account e.g. to cast regular close votes?

Rebecca J. StonesThis question is prompted by: Add a way for moderators to cast a normal, non binding close/open vote and Do moderators not have a way to just push a post into the close queue?. Basically, some diamond moderators don't always want to diamond-hammer close questions. A workaround is to create a ne...

i cannot do it without just instantly making the vote go through so because the whole idea is community moderation
i like to think of moderators as "community members, but elevated" but with my amount of power i can't act like a community member for the most part
so i just can't vote lol
to be fair, i'm expected to execute with perfect judgement i suppose, so i reserve my powers for resolving conflicts, which basically never happens here cuz the community does a good job with moderation
@hyper-neutrino this worked, thanks
att
att
02:34
@UnrelatedString my closest before the variations was spoiler
i'm impressed you even tried that lmao
and yeah i can see how that would give very little morphological information
-30 from account deletion, oddly it seems to be two accounts (-10 and -20)
Oop nvm it was actually -30 for me too
Turns out there was another upvote that hid 10 of that
i still only have the one -10
02:40
I think it's safe to say my votes wouldn't be deleted if my account was ever deleted
130k rep would disappear from everyone otherwise kekw
there are different types of account deletions
when i got deleted it removed my votes within 60 days (i think?) which is the default - idk why they didn't delete no votes, since it was for underage account
when accounts are deleted as sockpuppets (yes, that is a special deletion type), i believe it removes all votes
@hyper-neutrino ah, so it'd only be 120k lost collectively lol
lol jesus christ
i mean it'd have to depend how or for what reason you get deleted, lol
I don't plan on being deleted any time soon so y'all's rep is safe :p
And, somewhat interestingly, the site's most active voter has 101 rep
02:45
it's always weird when every once in a while you see gnat just participating normally on other sites
-10 and -60 user removed
@RadvylfPrograms Yeah samiliarish
att

damn weeb ;)

I solved Semantle #53 in 65 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #38. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.31.
Pretty frustrating for a while, but quite a rush when I finally got it.
03:01
the way the person is look up on the shelf at the J is as if they're saying "oh yes the anthropomorphic J. I can finally rest peacefully knowing I've found it"
that image is disturbing
in several key ways
@lyxal ok why did i click that thinking it was a video smh
I don't want to become the letter A though
03:10
why would I negotiate with killers

I would imagine it'd start with putting down the leaf
Ah yes, I do like ethically reaching through the screen and ripping your organs out
wut, where are you finding all these videos
tutorialspoint.com/latest/courses is where I'm getting these
these are paid courses too btw
03:35
how do I make it so that input is called everytime? Try it online!
@Niko could probably be golfed further, but u can do this: tio.run/##K6gsycjPM7YoKPr/…
actually, I'll give my current golfed code and see if anyone could golf it further Try it online!
it's just a simple golf practice
Yes if sum(a)>sum(b) and len(a)>len(b)
and input is like
6 1
62 72 47 68 44 9
86
where first two int means len of a,b
this is precisely why we don't use input formats that strict for our own challenges
lol
the question was not meant to be golfed
but I golf anyway

I have 113bytes now but i want to see <100
dpkg -iing a mysterious internet file on my raspberry pi to try and get something to work, fun :p

not sure if it's shorter by properly ignoring the length inputs
the YNeos is so creative pog
Neos? Shouldn't that be the list ["Mettaton", "Spamton"]? ;p

@RadvylfPrograms DETONATING IN 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
We do a little trolling
@UnrelatedString wait that's true
04:26
@PyGamer0 wait Dialfrost is gone
Not gone
just suspended
for voting irregular
well that shouldnt affect votes tho, right?
i suppose he posted too many question and upvote answers too much
They were grinding Electorate the past few weeks
04:28
oh
Which might have triggered systemic vote removal
oofs
well it looks like he still has it
:| I have -72 today
bracket should have a tag itself lol
so many bracket question
i mean theres already , im not sure how necessary a bracket tag would be
^^
unless u meant something else by bracket tag
04:57
all I will say is that the system will never automatically suspend people for votes no matter how many times the scripts invalidates votes
but let's not discuss suspensions, i'll just mention that if you're grinding for vote badges (and BTW, please actually take the time to make sure your votes are sensible and promote quality content and aren't just for the sake of boosting your number), you don't have to worry about automatic suspension, and if you upvote one particular person a lot the system may delete the votes but unless a mod identifies socks you'll at worst get a warning
I might have done that about ten months ago, please don't suspend me

Kevin CruijssenIntroduction: In my recent Strikethrough the Word Search List challenge I mentioned the following: When I do the word-search puzzles, I (almost) always go over the words in order, and strike them through one by one.
