Should be easy for them to move those messages, being database admins :P

Ginger

well now you've done it

we'll be smote by the SQL Gods any minute

user

Smited? I want to say it should be "smitten" but that's someting else

Radvylf Programs

I think that is a valid past tense, right?

des54321

i believe smote is technically the past tense of smite

user

Yeah smote makes sense

Radvylf Programs

9:02 PM

des54321

i think both smote and smitten are valid or something?

im not an expert on grammar

user

Oh huh

thejonymyster

@RadvylfPrograms lmao i was wondering what that invite was

des54321

Radvylf Programs

@hyper-neutrino We have a uh...situation

des54321

9:03 PM

according to wiktionary it could also be smit

Ginger

Code #BEEDAB

thejonymyster

what even was that room

des54321

the main room for the database administration SE

Radvylf Programs

We are about to be sm[io]t{1,2}(en?)? by a bunch of database admins

Ginger

Database Administration main room

9:04 PM

they dont seem as active as us, at least judging by their question votes

@RadvylfPrograms smat

Ginger

good thing they haven't entered TNB yet

thejonymyster

its ok next time they have a shitpost convo theyll just dump it here and call it even

Radvylf Programs

Since our tensions with Code Review have kind of eased, with Vyxal acting as a diplomat, maybe we should start amassing arms at the border of DBA.SE

Ginger

They're comparatively weak it seems

Radvylf Programs

I've mod flagged, should've done that immediately lol

Ginger

9:06 PM

maybe we should try to lull them into a false sense of security, so when the time comes to strike they won't expect it

resuming from a conversation in The Heap:

this whole thing would be great material for a SE Nitro comic

user

@RadvylfPrograms There doesn't seem to be much need to. We can simply assimilate them into our culture and combine the might of CGCC, CR, and DBA against SO :P

Unrelated String

could also resume it in offtopic since that's where it was supposed to be moved :P

user

Nah too lzy

Let's just talk here and let an RO move it :P

Radvylf deserves to be punised anyway

Ginger

9:18 PM

@RadvylfPrograms comic when

des54321

@DLosc has HBL been a LYAL ever? it seems a pretty good candidate for one and I for one think I'd enjoy learning it

DLosc

@des54321 It hasn't, mostly because it's extremely unfinished at the moment.

des54321

ah, fair point

Seggan

I just realized most of us are random teenagers ~~just wasting our time golfing~~ doing important research on Kolmogorov complexity and code size optimization.

Ginger

well, not all of us

Seggan

9:20 PM

most

DLosc

@des54321 Though given that our most recent LYAL was rSN, maybe that's not a big problem ;P

user

@Seggan I mean, this is a pretty pointless pastime and older people probably have better stuff to do

DLosc

@user [citation needed] /hj

user

Correction: Older people have annoying old people stuff they need to do even if they would rather spend their time in TNB chatting about random stuff

Just realized I'm one of the old people now

thejonymyster

;_; i hope i never get too old for golf

I can look down my nose at y'all with a smug look of superiority

nvm that sounds awesome

ais doesn't hang out in TNB like us jobless losers

i have a job OTL it doesnt make me less of a loser though :P

in fact it might be worse

dont get a job guys

...damn, that is true

Ginger

two can play at that game

@JoKing you are needed

DLosc

@Ginger I thought you were going to say you are ginger

Ginger

well, I am

Seggan

tbh we the CGCC community have done some quite impressive stuff, like crazy fast fizzbuzz and Tetris in GoL

user

9:27 PM

Right, but you can't really say "we" there because it was done by individual users

thejonymyster

humanity has done nothing because most people are dead or not alive at any given moment

user

That's not to say y'all haven't done impressive stuff, because you have

And even though code golf is pointless, it's not supposed to have a point, it's just plain fun

Ginger

imagine minding your own business in DBA and then a bunch of people fall through the ceiling and start discussing inter-site politics

DLosc

@RadvylfPrograms Glad I left quickly o.o

user

I love how, as a result of this, both TNB and the Heap have a bunch of off-topic messages and not a single one has been moved into the off-topic room

Ginger

That's a success in my book /s

thejonymyster

i shouldnt have made my dumb rpsls joke i could have kept out of this

Radvylf Programs

I mean, the discussion about the false-move is meta to TNB, so it's on-topic here

Unrelated String

9:31 PM

true

Ginger

well, that was interesting

now back to discussing code golf and programming puzzles like we normally do in this on-topic chat room

thejonymyster

i'll start: is this challenge too stupid or could it be good

i kinda posted it for the lols

Ginger

hm

des54321

on to another subject, need feedback for a project I'm working on: which two pieces of punctuation out of .!?'"();:/*-+=_^$|<> would yall say are least useful? I need to remove two characters from my Chat-on-Chat-on-Chat program's charset

Ginger

it's not awful d:

curious

9:34 PM

Unrelated String

$|_

Radvylf Programs

@des54321 | and ^

Ginger

$'

Unrelated String

^ is arguably the most useful of those :P

thejonymyster

= can be replaced with <- or <-> depending on context

Ginger

9:35 PM

' is redundant and $ is uncommon

Radvylf Programs

No it isn"t

des54321

' is kinda useful as an apostrophe, | is definitely useless though

thejonymyster

oh wait its the chat on chat on chat program, not a lang haha

Radvylf Programs

other than for faces, | can go

Unrelated String

yeah lmao

Ginger

9:36 PM

but bash!

thejonymyster

no = in a lang could be funny

emanresu A

@thejonymyster = is useful

thejonymyster

not tremendously, but yknow

des54321

the only useful face you can make with | is :|, which admittedly is a good one

Ginger

DLosc

9:36 PM

@thejonymyster <->P

Radvylf Programs

I suppose $ and | is my vote

emanresu A

^^^

Unrelated String

^^

thejonymyster

@des54321 my actual vote is " and |

" can be replaced with ''

des54321

hmm true jony

thejonymyster

9:37 PM

and ' as apostrophe can not be replaced

Radvylf Programs

@thejonymyster That's quite cursed

des54321

and i can even set up something to auto-replace " with ''

emanresu A

@des54321 ; and $

thejonymyster

@RadvylfPrograms sure, but isn"t this worse?

Unrelated String

~~semicolons aren;t useless~~

Radvylf Programs

9:38 PM

I think | is more useless than |...

@thejonymyster Keep both ' and " is what I'm saying

Unrelated String

and yeah pipe absolutely has to be one of the ones you yeet
no conceivable debate on that point

Radvylf Programs

You can always use USD for currency

des54321

hmmm I think I will go with | and $

thejonymyster

ah, USD is good

im on board with dropping | and $ as well then

DLosc

Or S

Radvylf Programs

9:39 PM

And $ is only commonly used in PHP and you should not platform PHP

thejonymyster

not that ill ever use a chat( on chat)+ program

but my opinion is incredibly important regardless

DLosc

@user I love how the last message in The Heap before the off-topic TNB messages was this one:

@Zikato The reason I frequent this forum is that there is more "wheat than chaff" - I'm still learning from posts here - and obviously on the main site! So, it's still a net positive for me. As long as that remains the case, I'll hang around...

lmao

what is whython btw is it just like another golfed python or is the name coincidental

Python with a single extra operator

des54321

i believe whython is just python with a short format for try/except statements

That, but also it uses [] for function composition
