@Lucy I've never tried puer but it's a fun word to say

@cam I am sure there is someone in the history of the world who had a cactusfucking kink

@cam that's probably a touch inappropriate

@cam perhaps i have been on this web site too long but i don't think thats an unreasonable question

@cam are tails an erogenous zone for ffxiv catboys

I hate that the two hour video that roasts c++ has AI generated images in the background for the whole thing because it is a really good video otherwise

sometimes I use git in ways specifically to annoy @aescling

@maple hello bun

@vaporeon_ I found a random post and scrolled through answers and did find a C submission

@lapis ☕ ☕ 🔍 ​ ☕ ☕

@vaporeon_ I'm pretty embarrassed about it because my original solution was something I found empirically and I didn't even understand how it worked until I played around with it a bit and then realized the math I was doing was algebraically equivalent to modulus math

But then everyone is just like "oh its just M % N, obviously" and I'm like oh

@vaporeon_ I mean, I think the most interesting part of the problem is just realizing that the remainder/modulus gives you what you need to solve the problem efficiently

So the return type of the data isn't really the heart of the question

I didn't go through your code with a fine tooth comb but it was clear to me from your comment beforehand that you had the right approach

I remember when Holly boosted one of her posts and I went to comment at how good she was at Posting, only to see that I had commented on the post months before with the exact same sentiment

@vaporeon_ hm, i don't know haha. if i were to try to get better at golfing i would start trying random problems on the code golf stack exchange, never more than an hour each, and then compare my results to those written in the language of my choice

@lapis yes

@vaporeon_
golfing is a skill and is hard. on the topic of whether C is good at it or not, I can't say for sure as I am not an expert in golfing or C. I would think it is difficult because newer languages come with bigger standard libraries than C which gives you all sorts of tools and shortcuts

But then again when I look at entries to the C Obfuscation Contest thingy, I forgot what it's called, it's absolutely insane the concise and cursed things people can do with macros

@vaporeon_ hello, vap

@aschmitz what do you mean exactly?

@aschmitz yeah thats what it is
