@graffe you call that smart? since neither the number nor its reversal can start and therefore end with 0, one must be a multiple of 4 (but not 20) while the other must be a multiple of 25 (but not 50), and 75's reversal isn't even even, so 25 is the only possibility, and fortunately 52 is a multiple of 4

Radvylf Programs

I just call it faster than thinking through the problem :p

If AoC's taught me one thing, it's that brute forcing stuff's usually faster than being clever unless it's a week from Christmas

work it smarter make it better do it faster makes us golfier

Radvylf Programs

Considering doing AoC in RSN this year

I'm either going to do something absolutely silly like that, or go all-in and sacrifice my sleep schedule again

@graffe 143

@RadvylfPrograms good

12:11 AM

@RadvylfPrograms imagine considering AoC22

@RadvylfPrograms I'm already used to watching YT at 125% speed

Better to watch it at 0% speed. I.e. don't watch YT, because it sucks.

Q: Chat Event Refinement: Make You a Lang for Great Good

We have decided to make a chat event based on language creation. In this post, we will discuss how we should do it. The event would just be a time dedicated to showing off WIP languages, get feedback on codepages/features/whatever from other people, and for those other people to just generally me...

discussion chat chat-events

that is a good question

i know for like, standard rules and loopholes, there are like

specific numbers and amounts of votes

or relative amounts or whatever

but i dont know if that holds for like... general meta stuff

someone with more experience should answer :P

I just upvoted on your answer because 999 looks nice ;-)

@RadvylfPrograms remember the lanternfish!

i got it immediately and didnt get a bunch of out of memory errors lol

omg 999

nobody vote on me ever again :P

immediately upvotes one of your answers

Haha nerd.

Get pranked

12:33 AM

NOOOO :P

@thejonymyster if you edit this: codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/247980/111945 you can allow me to retract my upvote but imo there's no point

its ok :3

Where's the 999?

@thejonymyster yah

@forest chat is late and lyxal destroyed the 999 with an upvote

I see

12:36 AM

@thejonymyster Aand you're back to 999 again ;)

oh the humanity

when i first got past 1000 i started to click on every single vote count that i ever see. which i am still doing now

@emanresuA how

wait how did i even get offset by 1

don't tell me you casted 5 downvotes

@emanresuB I did that as well. I don't know why that ability isn't given to everyone.

12:37 AM

idk either

@thejonymyster Casting a downvote removes 1 rep.

ah. They probably deserved it

@forest on meta?

Oh, no not on meta.

Only on main

12:40 AM

oh ok

@emanresuB same ;)

mostly do it to downvoted stuff and huge upvotes

ahaha

(T_T)TL oh the humanity

@emanresuA ahaha

> Nobody Needs Names

why on earth do you keep changing your name

Nobody Needs Names

idk

1:22 AM

I think you can only change your name once a year or something.

Nobody Needs Names

once 30 days

ah

Nobody Needs Names

but there's a way to get past it

How?

different parent SE sites

Nobody Needs Names

1:23 AM

technically you can change your name average 6 times a day

@lyxal not quite

changing your name and then coopying to all sites

Oh, so changing your name on another site?

I guess the 30 day limit applies to each individual site.

Nobody Needs Names

and then click on

> copy to all other sites

user image

Interesting.

Radvylf Programs

Y'know...changing your name 6 times a day for a month would be a fun challenge

Gee you'd need a lot of creativity

Nobody Needs Names

1:25 AM

ahaha

but then

Could automate that I suppose.

How many SE sites are there total?

Nobody Needs Names

you will need to go into all 180 sites of se

@forest 180, and so

find the pun in my New Name

Is it a reference to NNN?

Nobody Needs Names

erm no

but it's a good alliteration]

not if you know what NNN stands for lol

Nobody Needs Names

1:27 AM

@lyaxl what does it stand for

I recommend you google it

Nobody Needs Names

wtf

no

Nobody Needs Names

1:35 AM

yes, indeed

;-)

Okay so funny story: seeing pxeger's message on my fridge ping sound, I went and downloaded it from Radvylf's userscript repo, I opened it and let it play once. Then I heard it again, checked here thinking someone actually pinged me and realised that I have the windows media player set to loop stuff, meaning I pranked myself

also, I don't know what the standard SE chat ping noise is anymore help

Nobody Needs Names

ahahahahahahaha @lyxal I suddenly want to pin you

1:49 AM

ah yes insanely long class declarations class StackView private constructor(private val backing: List<StackObject>) : Collection<StackObject> by backing {

function fillKeys<T>(object: { [key: string]: T }, keys: any, value: T | (() => T)): { [key: string]: T } {

@emanresuA wheres that from

SE has a ping noise?

yeah

@Seggan Something I'm working on

@forest .

May 30 at 6:28, by emanresu A

@NumberBasher You can edit in a reply btw

Oh. I don't let my browser play audio, so that explains it.

Nobody Needs Names

@emanresuA ok

@NobodyNeedsNames like this

Nobody Needs Names

@forest how do you play vids

2:29 AM

@NobodyNeedsNames wget and mpv

Nobody Needs Names

@emanresuA laziness is the feature of all arrogant human beings

@forest o ok

I generally don't need to play videos though. Only on rare occasions.

And I have DRM acceleration disabled for mpv (for security) so it heats up my computer if I play too much video.

Nobody Needs Names

@forest ok

2:47 AM

→ 21 pandas moved to The Panda Appreciation Society

Guess that was too off-topic but all the other inane posts were fine. lol

More taking up a lot of space

Nobody Needs Names

yes indeed

@forest well I've been considering moving all the pirating messages too

Radvylf Programs

Sounds like a good idea.

Nobody Needs Names

2:49 AM

maybe my last statement isn't too offtopic

> i was just wondering where pandas is, my python is throwing errors at me...

@lyaxl Because it's off-topic or because piracy?

Pirates of the Seven Seas

Arr, we be pirates!

6

lol

Yar har fiddle de dee.

@forest off topic

Nobody Needs Names

2:52 AM

who can catch the pirates and send them to the abandoned island?

sounds like a cnr or a koth

"cnr: get away with piracy!" lol

wait thatd be backwards then :P

then the robbers would be cops i think :?

Radvylf Programs

Pirate pirate-related media and make a video about it, so people can pirate a pirate piracy tutorial

avgns evil monkey twin the irate pirate primate

Nobody Needs Names

who can catch the pirates and send them to the abandoned island?

→ 101 messages moved to Pirates of the Seven Seas

2:54 AM

yow

Radvylf Programs

@lyaxl Are you doing the move

I just tried to do the move... but it didn't work

Radvylf Programs

Huh...weird

I'll try agian

Except it went through, because the messages don't exist???

what exactly went wrong then?

looks like it worked to me

2:56 AM

It worked, the moved messages just didn't send

@RadvylfPrograms I can't exactly because I'm only mobile

wxcept they did?

:P so it worked except it worked

great show

dammit i cant wait til next tuesday i wanna ask lang questions but the tarpit is sooooo dead gfsdgsd

@emanresuA that sounds more like a builtin function (also nice)

nice

Nobody Needs Names

3:04 AM

@emanresuA you should really send all your heroic deeds to a room ;-)

i guess its tricky cause like should i have powers of 10? or should i just have those be easier to access?

i guess i really just need to come back to this later since its always gonna come down to "shouldnt it just be golfier somewhere else first"

@des54321 people will be angry

@des54321 well now i feel like working backwards now lol

every time i think of a number, i think "ok, now how do i make this really easy to access so that the variable init isnt as useful" lol

Nobody Needs Names

@des54321 because you left something out

@NobodyNeedsNames Back in my day we just used: orz

@thejonymyster thats probably the best strategy

3:09 AM

brb food

but i do feel like having the option to have some variables auto-initialize to 1 and others to 0 might be very useful

for sure

i was even considering having it just like

a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0...

~~but whatever thatd solve probably can be golfed somewhere else too~~

Nobody Needs Names

@des54321 you must include tau pi sucks tau is the best tau is the best thing in the world wahahahahahahahaha]

@mathcat Nope, it's still Monday in my timezone :P

a=-1,b=0,c=1,d=π,e=e,f=2π,g=π/2,h=log2(10),i=i,etc
