The reason that links should actually be related -- perhaps I'm ever going to use the link data for something, I don't know, but if I do then the words have to be related.

Shadow Wizard

@FOX9000 node

SPArchaeologist

2:05 PM

did the link support multiple word links?

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard primary

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX sure thing, just linking anything to random stuff is kind of abuse :)

SPArchaeologist

@ProgramFOX is there a command to have the list of links?

ProgramFOX

@SPArchaeologist How do you mean? One word can have multiple linked words. For example, I can link 42 to both The_Answer and Answer.

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist I don't think we can since space means a different argument

ProgramFOX

2:07 PM

@SPArchaeologist No, because the list would be too large and would probably be larger than 500 chars.

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard we can use some other thing to take arguments

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard That's not a problem: >>link foo Hey_look_this_are_spaces

DroidDev

like in my chat apps, I use some format to send data

eg:

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX really?! cool! :D

ProgramFOX

An underscore will become a space when posting.

@ShadowWizard Yep :D

DroidDev

2:08 PM

userId::::username::::message::::id

SPArchaeologist

@ProgramFOX one command to check if a word is used in one link?

DroidDev

and then fetch the elements

Shadow Wizard

>>link 13 lucky_number

DroidDev

on other side

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard Link added.

ProgramFOX

2:08 PM

@SPArchaeologist That's not yet there. Currently, there is only >>islink word1 word2.

DroidDev

was I talking to myself :/

Shadow Wizard

>>link 13 Friday

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard Link added.

SPArchaeologist

@ProgramFOX so no >>hasLink word

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev why so many ":" as separator?

SPArchaeologist

2:09 PM

>>islink Twilight_Sparkle 42

FOX 9000

@SPArchaeologist No, that's not a link.

ProgramFOX

Wow, I'm surprised by the amount of links in my file.

SPArchaeologist

>>islink 42 Twilight_Sparkle

FOX 9000

@SPArchaeologist No, that's not a link.

Shadow Wizard

>>islink Friday 13

FOX 9000

2:10 PM

@ShadowWizard Yes, that's a manually added link.

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard because I had to get something rare that user will not send as message in chat

I used pubnub for chatting, which is not ported to php(according to server side guys)

so, I had to send everything through pubnub

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev goes to send 100::::Shadow::::Hello world::::1000 in @Dro's chat

:D

hmm....

>>islink 13 lucky_number

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard Yes, that's a manually added link.

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard noooooooooooooooo

Shadow Wizard

ok, thought maybe the underscore caused trouble in >>islink command. It doesn't. :)

FOX 9000

2:12 PM

No associated word found for noooooooooooooooo.

Shadow Wizard

lol

ProgramFOX

@DroidDev Why not something like JSON?

DroidDev

@ProgramFOX have to send string in pubnub

Shadow Wizard

FOX 9000

2:13 PM

@ShadowWizard manchester

DroidDev

accepts only string

ProgramFOX

oh, ok

@DroidDev You can serialize JSON to a string and escape the quotes inside the message.

DroidDev

although, I put everything in json and then convert it into string

and then send it over

SPArchaeologist

Shadow Wizard

>>link 42 The_answer_to_life_the_universe_and_everything

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard Link added.

Shadow Wizard

eh

now that's a proper association :D

SPArchaeologist

which is also very fitting with the beginning of the first book in the Hitchhiker guide serie

@ShadowWizard you sure Twily isn't?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist not saying no, I just know about the Guide lots more than I know about Twily and friends (yet :))

SPArchaeologist

Well let's do some math then.

ProgramFOX

SPArchaeologist

42 = the answer
Twily = 42
Twily = friendship

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX no no

last word is chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/2823182#2823182

bot can't know since it's not a word to him

SPArchaeologist

as I said her mark has exactly 42 points

ProgramFOX

@FOX9000 !delete!

@ShadowWizard oh, ok

Shadow Wizard

2:22 PM

question is can we do anything about such cases?

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard TV

@ProgramFOX circuit

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard I don't think we can -- but it doesn't happen that much.

@FOX9000 racing

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX horse

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX true... maybe manually changing the latest word for the bot? e.g. >>setlastword [ID here]?

ProgramFOX

2:23 PM

@ShadowWizard That could be done, but would it actually be used?

@FOX9000 war

Shadow Wizard

this way if a user who posted non-bot word see it's getting buried, he/she can do it to prevent the word from being lost

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX wage

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX I'll probably use it ;)

ProgramFOX

goes to implement that

Shadow Wizard

thanks!

DroidDev

>>setlatestword 1

Shadow Wizard

makes sense, if it's deleted how can it be latest word?

ProgramFOX

that should work

>>latestword

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX I don't know.

ProgramFOX

2:29 PM

@ShadowWizard Because I don't have a check whether it really exists...

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX probably API does

ProgramFOX

oh, facepalm

Shadow Wizard

lol

ProgramFOX

If the value of the latest word is 1, it replies "I don't know", but that should be -1...

Shadow Wizard

but nice that it's responding and not just crashing :D

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard 'recent' has a value of -1, which is not a valid message ID. Please provide an explicit ID.

SPArchaeologist

Shadow Wizard

huh?

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard Those features are unrelated.

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX oh, fair enough :)

ProgramFOX

'recent' is only to be used if the bot cannot reply.

@SPArchaeologist It's the bot's surname, not?

Shadow Wizard

HAL 9000

HAL 9000 is a fictional character in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series. The primary antagonist of 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer) is a sentient computer (or artificial intelligence) that controls the systems of the Discovery One spacecraft and interacts with the ship's astronaut crew. HAL's exterior physical form is not depicted, though it is visually represented as a red television camera eye located on equipment panels throughout the ship, and its interior in the scene where his advanced memory modules are disconnected. HAL 9000 is voiced by Douglas...

SPArchaeologist

DOH

Shadow Wizard

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev nope, real nerds like fun

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist but, self-proclaimed ones don't

Shadow Wizard

3:02 PM

@SPArchaeologist worth emailing them and ask if such thing is possible, though Tim is in vacation as far as I remember

Jon is the master of hats this year in SE, so you might even try emailing him in private, @SPA

He's a nice person, I once had an email discussion with him about something

hi @Sompuperoo, I was just wondering when you would come.

We have found a new avatar for you too...

Menchi from Excel Saga

aren't you lucky?

DroidDev

3:27 PM

thinks why he is always struck with partiality

SPArchaeologist

(please, ignore your name on the menu, next to "Infinite Recursion fried barbeque")

Sompuperoo

@SPArchaeologist have zero knowledge about anime stuff, but looks like s/he likes stars, so that's cool

SPArchaeologist

@Sompuperoo that dog was labelled as "Emergency Food Ration" by his current owner (who found him left abandoned). That screen should be from the scene when Excel founds him and takes him with her, one second before he is labelled "food ratio"

THAT is also the reason Sanji in One Piece calls Chopper "Emergency Food Ratio #2".

the "2" is a reference to Menchi.
