Methinks someone just serially upvoted me. :/

Hmm...the first anniversary of Why is Stack Overflow so negative of late? was on Thursday.

o.O

How about Tim Stone's?

Probably not since it's an actual image.

The us-vs-them instinct is a powerful one, whether that means the color of skin one is born to or the turn of phrase one is reared to. It’s probably built into our biology, but we can and must rise above it. Using phantom shibboleths to belittle another native speaker who for whatever reason talks differently than you do is nothing but mean-spirited peeving, peeving that poisons the atmosphere of tolerance necessary for civil discourse and mutual respect.

@2mkgz Are you... are you pizza/Fundamental/thatguywhoalwayschangeshisname?

Does as is need a hyphen (as-is)?

@tchrist Nice speech. ;)

@hichris123 only if you’re doing something weird, like, “don’t change my gravitar. I like the as-is one better”

tchrist will surely correct me now

hehe

pretty sure, “Ι like my gravitar as is,” should have no hyphen

67.2% sure

There is no such thing as a gravitar: bulls cannot be gravid.

@tchrist wouldn’t that be a gravitaur?

Still waiting...

Is this OT? I'm slightly confused what the question is about: stackoverflow.com/questions/29841880/…

@cybermonkey It's too broad.

@AstroCB I want a userscript that replaces everyone’s name with bjb[user ID]

@yellowantphil Only if I can be bjb123.

Ah, just saw, yeah. User just doesn't seem to understand how SO works.

I left this message on their question:

What happened to the "bots" in the chatroom description?

@JuanCarlosFarah tyranny! censorship!

Inf took that part out

D:

!bjb bots are the best

bjbot is being quiet

\o/

That's a tragedy.

no

it’s a travesty

I don't know many transvestites, but those with breasts and a beard are the wurst.

it’s a tragically trancedly tranquil transiency

uh... wat?

I’d have bjbot translate into English, but it seems to be offline

I think it's discrimination against bots.

Apparently that's called automatonophobia.

@JuanCarlosFarah hear, hear!

@JuanCarlosFarah only if you’re afraid of them, I would think. Dislike would be... anti-automatonic?

Why Can't Programmers Print 100 to 1?

There's probably an easier way, but the way I thought of was go to -100 and add 100 to i.

@hichris123 seq 100 | tac

@yellowantphil, indeed!

now it works

All terms that will become mainstream in the 21st century.

I didn't realize Bash was Turing complete.

reminds me of the movie AI where the bot-haters were decrying “artificiality!!!”

main = mapM print [100,99..0]

> You need to start with "for(int i=0;" and continue from there - you cannot write anything before "for(int i=0;" and you can't use two loops.

@hichris123 I just saw that. lame

Haskell doesn't even have for

In Java, that ends up being (for my solution):

for (int i = 0; i > -100; i--) {
    System.out.println(i+100);
}

I’d put in gotos, just to be a pain

main = sequence_ [print $ 100-n | n <- [0.100]]

do goto loops count as loops?

I'd assume so.

can I use the preprocessor to replace for with something else?

@hichris123 umm.... that would print them from 1 to 100

oh no, right

@yellowantphil lol

OK, I got it

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    for (int i = 0; ;);
}

gcc -std=c99 -D for="int i = 100; while (i > 0) printf(\"%d\n\",i--);return 0;for" test2.c -o test2

runs correctly. read it and weep

...

hmm, I coded two loops, but only one of them ran. I hope that counts

> you can’t use two loops

I used one
