Code trolling is the classic example: after the first few challenges, basically all of them just ended up the same. People still posted them en-masse because other people upvoted and answered them, even though it was literally just doing the same task on repeat

@lyxal If people upvote them, people will mass post them

Now, I'm not saying Rainbolt is Rainbolt, but it's certainly a fun conspiracy theory :P

I realized a couple months ago that there was a fairly prominent user on the site who went by Rainbolt. Now, if you Google "Rainbolt", you won't get this person. Instead you'll get human Google Street View. Which. It's a rather specific name. To the point where if you heard about a YTer/streamer/minor celeb going by "caird", you'd expect them to be me.

why?

@UnrelatedString ....what

Chat.... uh, has changed

Seems I've missed a busy couple months

old man noises

@SandboxPosts Any glaring issues? Thinking about posting in the next couple of days

I don't know how to respond

@lyxal I

@Themoonisacheese There you go

Unless you're Jessie J

God, whenever I start writing up any post on the site with mathjax, I spend so much time with with $, cause I'm used to just writing latex with $ instead of mathjax with \$ :P

Any feedback? Need to do the test cases, but that's it, as far as I can tell

I've played 1 game online and 5 in person, and the only one I quit was the online one, because the hassle and time commitment was waaaaaaay more than for in person games

@ATaco In person, althought it might be the most difficult to organize, is the best because of this

@Themoonisacheese Me and my boardgaming friends have seriously discussed trying this out

As much as this would have been terrible for CGCC to take part in, I really want to see what would have happened if we did :P

That feels very much like splitting hairs

If a python file opened with open(__name__).read() and then later on used open(__name__, 'a').write('get rickrolled'), it'd still be reading its own source code

If there's no modification, then that's the same as reading the source code

And the other ><> answer isn't invalid under that same rule. It only modifies its own source code via p; I'd make the argument that "reads its own source code" means that it uses a command which returns data about the contents of the file itself. That is precisely what the g command does, and not close to what p does

@lyxal the g command literally reads its own source code

@DLosc Nope, thank god :P

@lyxal It's always the fr*nch, I swear to god :P

Hold off on the congrats until I've defended it :P

I've been using discord too much D:

Was the only time on langdev? :P

@lyxal Was the first time on langdev?

Don't think they'll be having another one soon

Ahhh, their last election was less than a year ago

They'll love me with my 399 rep :P

Does that mean you'll be running for a mod on SE.se soon? :P

@lyxal True true

But before I even gave a think about if I should run at least to contest it (given it's my second biggest site), I saw that 2 other people had already done so :P

I did notice movies.SE was having an election and was uncontested

I already refuse to handle math.se chat flags, I can't imagine how bad the main site flags are

God no

One more month, then spring break for a month, then exams

@lyxal More or less. My lectures end at the end of march

Even during reading week (a week they give us in the middle of term to "consolidate", where we get no new lectures), I worked like 30 hours

Between uni work, actual work and extracurriculars, it's kinda been non-stop

Yeah

Defending my thesis on monday, so am taking the weekend to go home and chill with parents and dogs

But finally managed to get a chill weekend

Still going

@LuisMendo Unfrozen for you :)
