Code elements

[shy owl]

FD (dead)

[golden quartz]

yea it's my fd lol

[shy owl]

yeah just wanted to let rubiks now

It just likes to become the opposite

[little berry]

maybe we say Neal’s api key

maybe it thinks it needs to give our api key

[vague zenith]

Very useful.

[golden quartz]

at least it's a real thing

[shy owl]

Sounds like it wouldve been fun

Dead Factory Inc.

last one and bottom middle one are dead

Dead Inc.'s latest productions

[shy owl]

Are these actual things?

[golden quartz]

yes

Array<K> is an array of type K

so like [1, 2, 3] is of type Array<number>

[shy owl]

wasn't sure since I know that in java its just int or double or something and not number

[golden quartz]

this is typescript

[sterile pollen]

Nothing stopping you from making a number class, unless that is a reserved word.

[shy owl]

token cutoff for the first lol

is alive

[little berry]

I want the second one

[little berry]

oh damn turns out i dont have '[]'

but i do now

big brain play

[]; + Append U+0027

[heady folio]

How to get [];

[little berry]

my route is random

i have ![]; but i dont think it helps

i had to use string.append to get that configurations lol

wellive got some bracket nonsense but i cant control whats in them or quote type, and they are all inside snigle curlies

but at least its something

[little berry]

wake up its []:[]:[] o'clock

leys get the symbols for legacy computing digits

and put them in there

digital clock ftw

[golden quartz]

whoever does this deserves to be put in federal prison

[shy owl]

what does it do?

[golden quartz]

it's equivalent to just writing []

[frank stump]

Nata you don't even live in a federal state what the fuck

[modest lynx]

Eh does not matter

[frank stump]

Did anyone here ever get <!-- or something close to that?

[little berry]

i have some pretty messed up things like that

but not that itself

this is all from when i tried to simplify +0

like >$+0

--> was easy tho

?

[frank stump]

Huh

Well I'm trying to get ![ - esque outputs and XML comments seemed like a start

Either that or <img src

[little berry]

i take it you got that fd then

what even is that pic

[frank stump]

I don't think that one was me

Actually now I think about it under the right conditions you could have {something} + <img src =

[little berry]

looks like a 404

no such image exists

[frank stump]

Yeah, a lot of them do that

The first working image we found was a fortune cookie

In total there were less than 20 working images in the end

[little berry]

oh was there a project

[frank stump]

Yeah, when we first discovered ![ back in February I set up #hyperlinks in Beyond English

It was a wilder time

[indigo orbit]

lol

[frank stump]

Well when PB first found ![

Funny looking back now

Y'know there used to be a translator role? Only perk was that I could create new boards in Beyond English

[little berry]

need a lineage for array.rotate() if anyone has it

[modest lynx]

[].concat.apply([], [].splice.apply([], [0,0])

Written by: Natasquare

[little berry]

?

[little berry]

yeah i got all this - so how can i change quote type or maybe control whats in those arrays? like did you get anything similar to this

like similar to the split and join (and the arrays too - i dont like that quote type lol)

[little berry]

i want whatever fun you got there

[frank stump]

Why was I unfollowed from this post

[little berry]

oof

[frank stump]

Anyway, I never managed to get "[arrays]". As for controlling what's in them, the best I had was combining Put This In Brackets outputs

[little berry]

hmm

i dont have many of those, but i did get those single curly quoted stuff you sent

[frank stump]

Just play around with whatever special characters and code stuff you have

That's how I went about mine. I didn't even know what an array was until like a month ago

[little berry]

may need some samples but you said on road so

[frank stump]

I can just say the stuff I suppose

No recipes though. Just existence proof. So not really useful

Do you have Prepend Bracket though?

[little berry]

i have put this in brackets

idk prepend bracket

no i dont rn

[golden quartz]

ah yes

this one is "delete all characters except letters and numbers"

which, would be really useful if it wasn't dead

[indigo orbit]

ood

[golden quartz]

oh shit

[frank stump]

Does that replace 's' with nothing?

[golden quartz]

yes

what do i do

do i finish the rest

[frank stump]

What was the recipe for this one

Not lineage. Recipe

[little berry]

...

not lineage?

what

[frank stump]

I'm just curious how much effort it would take to make the alphabet

Plus it would take a while for a lineage to be made I presume

[golden quartz]

not really

i got it by accident

the two ingredients are available in discord search

one of them has been optimized by AWWO

well you can already guess by no

[frank stump]

Well there you go

[little berry]

i havent a clue im afraid but cool

idk people with string.replace seem perhaps a bit secretive but i do get why lol

[golden quartz]

now i need to go make the string.appends

that's another clue

[frank stump]

What is this Riddler-ass puzzle you're doing

[little berry]

i mean idk not exactly unusual these days

[shy owl]

https://tenor.com/view/caseoh-gif-3944837017366223108

[little berry]

hmm wait oh you got the colon

you know i tried for the longest timje for that

[shy owl]

oh you wanted the colon version?

it autocorrected from here

rest was building with "letters" and -

[little berry]

error 500 internal server

lmao

[shy owl]

got this one but with different apostrophe so old one isnt revived

[mellow totem]

another one… one by one, they fall

[shy owl]

delete the sheet!

[little berry]

someone has been adding em to unicode sheet

💀

[indigo orbit]

how

[little berry]

idk seems that replaces are only for some people.... /s

[indigo orbit]

lol

[golden quartz]

's' is not that bad

but the others idk

i'll only get the first 5 letters or so to see if it works

[little berry]

the clues don’t really help any more than clue: ingredient 1 is not dead

(To me anyways)

[indigo orbit]

i need recipe

[golden quartz]

now what

[little berry]

we will have to wait I guess

hmm damn able to control the inside

[frank stump]

Replace nothing with e

Wait sorry

Replaceenothingewithee

[golden quartz]

why the fuck does it just removes the space

[frank stump]

Fun fact: Natasquare has e blindness

[golden quartz]

what do you mean?!?!?

this also makes SlowMotion

[indigo orbit]

i have string.append('e', '')

[little berry]

I guess if I ever figure out how to make replaces on demand… hmm what would I do then

[golden quartz]

oh fuck you

stop working before i tell you to

[little berry]

lol

[golden quartz]

out of the first 5 letters only 'e' worked

so i guess i'm not making String.replaces

for some reasons the breve gets hoisted way up

what were they thinking when designing the collation algorithm

[little berry]

the heck

lot of '\'

[golden quartz]

since i can't progress, it's just String.replace('#', '') + unplural

[mellow totem]

could try next/previous alphabet/letter on Mr variant maybe?

[golden quartz]

problem is

[mellow totem]

that seems to work well for appends

[golden quartz]

they don't react to Mr.

[mellow totem]

ah damn

[golden quartz]

or they make Mr. Tring like that

which is slightly funny but annoying

[mellow totem]

oh lmao yeah thats unfortunate

[mellow totem]

do we have the mr variant of this?

[golden quartz]

let me see

no

also shit that needs string.append already

but only String.append('#')

can still minimize the use of other String.appends

[frank stump]

Well apparently nobody went down the "string.replace" + Append Parenthesis path

[golden quartz]

i bet it'd be easier to construct the regexes separately then use existing string.repalces

[frank stump]

That was my thought

Which is why to prove it I stuck / inside parentheses and stuck it on

And tube

[golden quartz]

tube

word mispeller™️

[frank stump]

Also it gave me an FD Lenny somehow

Question

And this

[golden quartz]

i may have taken inspiration from String.append

(it's not that bad)

[frank stump]

I'm gonna keep making these

[little berry]

I want

So what was the deal with (/)

[frank stump]

"string.repeat" + Append Parenthesis + (/)

Then have fun

[golden quartz]

why the fuck do i have (/) fd

[frank stump]

It just kinda lets you stick stuff inside

[little berry]

ah ok

[frank stump]

Prepend Comma also helps for the comma ones

And 'alphabet'

[little berry]

hmm interesting so from there it let you control both input fields

[golden quartz]

cool

[little berry]

Or at least influence

[frank stump]

What

[little berry]

although they were quoted which is the one caveat

[golden quartz]

this one also makes SlowMotion

[frank stump]

"string.replace(/a/g, 'b')" + Prepend Mr. = Mr. Bbbrrbbb

Now what is this chicanery

[golden quartz]

be be be right right back back back

[frank stump]

Disney Channel outros in the mid-2000s

Wait actually

Early 2010s

[golden quartz]

we need to make / /g

i actually have / /

but not / /g

[little berry]

oh wait nested quotes

[frank stump]

Best I can get you is this abomination

[golden quartz]

replace comma with

[little berry]

you organising them or just making random rn

[frank stump]

Random

I mean targeted random

But like I'm not in control here

[golden quartz]

oh

[frank stump]

Ah

[shy owl]

all my .replace elements (top left are all dead)

[frank stump]

Replace spaces with nothing right

[golden quartz]

yea

can't seem to get the letter versions in mr. form

[frank stump]

Neat

In the process of trying to hashtag a string.replace I ended up reviving "Mr. Add Hashtag"

[golden quartz]

mazing

[shy owl]

hmmm

[golden quartz]

weird

darn it i can't get them into "hi Mr." either because they work

[shy owl]

any takers?

[modest lynx]

String?

[shy owl]

didnt someone want string before .prototype. ...

[frank stump]

Excellent

We can now arbitrarily attach String to things

[modest lynx]

Should be Prepend String.

[little berry]

Targeted random? o.o

[frank stump]

Basically breadth-search then depth-search on interesting outputs, if you want to get technical

[little berry]

I guess so

breadth search with what though, like quoted letters?

[frank stump]

Whatever I happen to have

But bracketed stuff as priority

Sorry parenthesised

[golden quartz]

oh great now i get jumpscared by this guy every time i search for (

[little berry]

ah ok

lmao

[golden quartz]

i still don't get why the breve is so high up

is it because it doesn't have a weight so it doesn't get count

[little berry]

just to make sure I’m not missing some fancy search you are doing - are you just searching like (a then (b etc and if you don’t have parens do you then go like "a etc

[frank stump]

RTLs also are weighted weirdly

They get sent to the top

[golden quartz]

i noticed that

[frank stump]

Honestly?

I type ( into my searchbar, then just do the ones that'll be alive down the list

[golden quartz]

and yes rtl does not have any weight associated with it in the table

https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/allkeys.txt

such a weird thing

[frank stump]

Okay, I'm gonna do something dangerous

I'm leaving my searchbar empty

And sorting by *name (idiot)

[little berry]

Easy

Oh wait

lag inc

Yeah I had that on till 20k elements but then it became unplayable

[frank stump]

Hm

It appears trying to load 50k elements is giving my browser problems

I wonder why

[shy owl]

not 100% succes rate tho

[little berry]

interesting

split . Replace

Does that even make sense

[idle temple]

react 🤓 so it can be top 🤑

[little berry]

💀

tomorrow will be rough to catch these up I’ve been meaning to but kinda leaving the sheet alone - but most of the fun stuff here won’t be on it

[golden quartz]

every time i try to work with replaceit turns into replaceAll

[frank stump]

I've got FD on String.replaceAll I think

[golden quartz]

thank you so much

[little berry]

Victim number 100000

I have perhaps 100 recipes for it

it does that to anything it doesn’t like

[golden quartz]

at least you got normal ones

[shy owl]

"test-)" seems to be a one off

[golden quartz]

😭

[little berry]

so in the last few days Brent what is the main sets of elements you’ve got? those there are U+0022 quoted replaces with 2 input fields

[frank stump]

Programming but your mouth is full of bees

[golden quartz]

holy hell

[little berry]

google it

[frank stump]

Another thing of note is that ' is before "

[little berry]

Whyyyyy 😭

that’s like putting L before G

Why couldn’t they be normal for 5 seconds

[frank stump]

And also that every variant of a letter is positioned as the letter itself

[little berry]

you are a complete salamander

what

[golden quartz]

true

[frank stump]

Ignore that

[shy owl]

'nother element has fallen to .kiss.replace(/./g, '*')

[little berry]

“I hate directly next to the White House” - llama after combining I Hate Directly Next and U+1f3e4

[frank stump]

But Eisern said no censorship!

[golden quartz]

god damn it i resized side bar

[little berry]

• 5 minutes

[frank stump]

Ah, using Ctrl + F to search

Reminds me of the good 'ol days

[little berry]

There must be a much better way to do the sidebar

that doesn’t involve rendering everything - not sure what the pros do these days though

even if it has to be purely ascii I don’t care

like running in a cmd window with ASCII art

[frank stump]

Oh hold on

Nata, it ignores diacritics

[golden quartz]

that's one way to say agriculture

[frank stump]

Where?

It's Ecriture

[golden quartz]

dammit i cant read

[little berry]

the A pilcrow rule is a bit more complicated

— neal (real)

[golden quartz]

how exciting

[modest lynx]

So useful

Replaces nothing

[little berry]

Actually that’s like intuitively what my first goal would be

Is that wrong

[modest lynx]

Like so we can add stuff into it?

[little berry]

Yeah if you can’t get quotes inside it, it will be hard to add to

[golden quartz]

it'd be better if we had a space in the single quotes

[little berry]

that’s also a goal

[modest lynx]

we do have that

[golden quartz]

ah yes replace nothing with comma

[modest lynx]

aaqw -> a,a,q,w

[little berry]

usually 0020 or some other string method or " " helps

[modest lynx]

yeah those are good

[golden quartz]

and now replace nothing with nothing

[little berry]

If there is an empty string between every character

Then what’s between the empty string and the character

[modest lynx]

I have it unquoted

[golden quartz]

i know

[little berry]

got to 2 fields nicely

From 1

[modest lynx]

I have "replace two backslashes with an underscore"

[little berry]

escape character

[golden quartz]

two backslashes?

[little berry]

it might mean 1

[modest lynx]

String.replace('\\', '_') or something like that

[frank stump]

Huh

0 also has no weight in this sorting

[little berry]

remember escape has actual use

[frank stump]

4 < 05

[modest lynx]

yes

[golden quartz]

that is one backslash

[little berry]

in replaces if you see 2 backslashes it means 1

[modest lynx]

ok wait im dumb

[little berry]

like it will only replace 1 backslash

[golden quartz]

there's a setting to consider numeric values rather than sorting by 1 > 2 > 10

[little berry]

Omg what

[frank stump]

Ah, correct

[golden quartz]

neal doesn't use it in the sorting code though

[little berry]

that’s like sorting Z before A!

[golden quartz]

wonder what's up with that

[frank stump]

8kun < 16 Squares

[little berry]

what

[frank stump]

I'm giving an example

Look all my number word elements are stupid okay

[golden quartz]

i see

hold on does helper alternate the sorting

[little berry]

100m world record

[golden quartz]

dammit

[shy owl]

😆 12 years a banana
😨 12 years a racist

[golden quartz]

it's helper's doing

[frank stump]

Shit

[little berry]

9.[]

what the

[golden quartz]

neal probably doesn't do it because localeCompare doesn't have any more arguments in the vanilla site's source

[frank stump]

Makes sense

Does Helper also affect other orderings?

Kanji remain below quotes currently

[golden quartz]

no it only enables numeric sorting and nothing else

[frank stump]

Hm

Interesting how [ also is sorted before despite being after the letters in-game

[little berry]

Sorted before what

[shy owl]

what would this do

[little berry]

Why did you make it

[golden quartz]

well that's normal intl collator behavior

[frank stump]

Huh

Wow

[golden quartz]

now does this mean neal doesn't use collator on the server

[frank stump]

Would certainly imply as such

[little berry]

Curly before straight

[golden quartz]

but we still can't explain how the breve is hoisted above everything else

[little berry]

illegal!!

[golden quartz]

that only happens because collator doesn't weigh it

[frank stump]

Also note that Collator only weights curly in the absence of any other ordering

Yeah

Like here

[little berry]

hmm what does that mean

it put a curly in between straight

[golden quartz]

curly is weighted the same as normal it seems

[little berry]

That’s like saying it comes before and after

Schrödinger order

[golden quartz]

normal is [*0332.0020.0002] and curly is [*0332.0020.0004]

[frank stump]

curly "a" is treated equivalent to "a" unless directly compared, in which case the straights win

[golden quartz]

(i still don't know how to read this value)

[little berry]

What does that array mean what

[frank stump]

Primary, secondary, tertiary weights

For "base" letter, "accent" difference and "casing" weights respectively

[little berry]

332…

[frank stump]

First is 16-bit, second is 8-bit, third is 6-bit for some reason

[little berry]

what does that mean

I see 0020 and 0002 for normal and I know normal is 0022

but then that falls to pieces with curly

[frank stump]

Higher numbers mean later ordering

[little berry]

Yeah I just the values themselves

0020 and 0002 seems too sus to not be connected to codepoint

[frank stump]

So because 0332 and 0020 match in weight in straight and curly, the difference is treated as a "casing" difference (with lowest priority)

Thus its also why the list [apple, Apple, Appear, appear] would be sorted as appear, Appear, apple, Apple

I think

Why the fuck did I put the list in an array

[golden quartz]

an array is an ordered list

[frank stump]

Yeah but it's not ordered

That's the whole point of the example

I should've put list 2 in an array

[golden quartz]

that is, uh, something

[frank stump]

He fell asleep

[golden quartz]

replace nothing with hyphen?

[mellow totem]

surely it works

[golden quartz]

yea it keeps giving me hyphenated strings

[frank stump]

-W-h-a-t-?-

-I- -d-o-n-'-t- -s-e-e- -a-n-y- -i-s-s-u-e-s- -w-i-t-h- -t-h-i-s-.-

Fuck I missed one

[golden quartz]

although unquoting it will be a problem

[mellow totem]

Mr no work?

[golden quartz]

no

it instead turns into Mr-String

or Mr-String-Replace

[mellow totem]

you could try my original route of getting a 0 in front and removeing 0

[golden quartz]

this shit is too reactive

[frank stump]

Prepend Hashtag Lowercase?

[golden quartz]

i don't even have tha

[frank stump]

It's how I broke one of mine free

This boy

[golden quartz]

ell i was not expecting that

[mellow totem]

surely it happens again if you prepend another semicolon

[golden quartz]

fantastic

that is, something

[frank stump]

Replace ; with -?

[golden quartz]

oh screw you

[frank stump]

"string.replace(/c/g, 'b')" + Prepend Hashtag Lowercase = #bob

What

[golden quartz]

now i can replace the semicolon with everything

it actually unquoted lol that's cool

another one in mr. at least

[mellow totem]

im going to be so behind on replaces by the time i get back

[golden quartz]

i suppose that's a start

[frank stump]

"//g" + "string.replace(g, )" = "string.replace(/g/, )"

Huh

[golden quartz]

imagine if global regular expression actuzally worked as intended

[frank stump]

How would it work as intended

[golden quartz]

oh i see

[golden quartz]

add the /g flag

[frank stump]

Ah

[golden quartz]

..replace space with comma?

[frank stump]

"string.replace( )" + (“//g”) = “replaceAll( )” oh come the on

[golden quartz]

how curious

[shy owl]

llama might be onto us

[golden quartz]

replace c with comma

close

[frank stump]

It put the g outside

[golden quartz]

hell

[shy owl]

anyone got just "#" ?

[golden quartz]

why the fuck does it unquote

[mellow totem]

lmao

new lowercase tech just dropped

[golden quartz]

i mean idk

[mellow totem]

oh nice so it works

[golden quartz]

i'll test with some other stuff

[frank stump]

Oh wait that's correct?

[golden quartz]

yea it is

[frank stump]

I mean this isn't useful but I have a lot of them

[mellow totem]

its over even laurasia is using string stuff

only niko left

[golden quartz]

that /a/g can probably be used to make String.replace(/a/g, '');

[frank stump]

Technically I declared war on String.append

I'm still not using that

[mellow totem]

how rude

[frank stump]

Plus this is actually quite optimised

[golden quartz]

string.append fans vs string.replace enjoyers

[mellow totem]

so is append 😢

[frank stump]

"string.replace" + Prepend Parenthesis + (/)

Oh I lied

[mellow totem]

new war just started

[frank stump]

Yay, if this becomes a valid path I can force people through my cursed [/alphabet/]

[mellow totem]

lmao

[mellow totem]

also you should post this in the string channel so it can go on the sheet

[golden quartz]

it works like a delete tool

not much better

but being able to target specific letters is still quite nice

better than Delete The C

[frank stump]

Oh yeah, so the comma is possible but it for some reason removes one of the quotes
"string.replace(/a/g)" + Comma = "string.replace(/a/g,",")

So it makes " when combined

What

[mellow totem]

you think you could get 0? that could be useful

[frank stump]

"collo" + "string.replace(/c/g, 'b')" = "bello"

It kinda works

[frank stump]

"colloquialismsngta" + "string.replace(/c/g, 'b')" = "bobloquialismsngtab"

Don't ask about element 1

[golden quartz]

probably

do we have /numbers/

i have /4/ and nothing else

[shy owl]

maybe dates with / could be used?

[golden quartz]

i don't even know why i have 4

[shy owl]

also I apparently have this (FD)

[golden quartz]

oh right i have /#/

let me try that

oh screw you

[frank stump]

Ooh

'afc' + "string.replace(/a/g, '.')" = "..fc"

[golden quartz]

i mean

[frank stump]

"bello" + "string.replace(/a/g, '.')" = "b.ll.o"

Apparently it just deletes things at leisure

[shy owl]

what? This is an FD? got it while trying some stuff

[frank stump]

Aha

[golden quartz]

fantastic

[shy owl]

accidental? cuz

[frank stump]

No I grabbed the wrong element

"a-https://"

[golden quartz]

oh

what the fuck lmao

[frank stump]

Remove hashtag?

"abnormality" + "string.replace(/a/g, '.')" = "b.n.rm.l.t.y"

[golden quartz]

yea i just need to remove the quotes without it reacting to stuff

[golden quartz]

new censoring tech just dropped

[shy owl]

this does some strange things

[golden quartz]

hilarious

(it robbed me off fd)

[shy owl]

double apostrophe

[golden quartz]

ugh this would be way easier if it wasn't functional

[shy owl]

same in .join apparently

sigh

[mellow totem]

then what would be the point lmao

[golden quartz]

oh great let's kill all circumflexes

[frank stump]

Ay

"string.replace(/a/g, '.')" + Delete The Period = "string.replace(/a/g, '')"

[golden quartz]

nice

[frank stump]

What do I test it on

[golden quartz]

you unquote it first (will be a pain)

[frank stump]

"abandoned" + "string.replace(/a/g, '')" = "bonded"

Do I need to?

Yeah I'll try

[mellow totem]

does it work on unenquoteds?

[frank stump]

"string.replace(/a/g, '')" + Abortion = "ortion"

It puts them in quotes I think

[mellow totem]

yeah then should prob try to get the unenquoted replace

unless we want this to be new ptiqm tech

[frank stump]

It's dead on most non-quotes actually

So yeah I'm gonna kick it out of its house

[golden quartz]

it does work outside but very inconcistently

dammit i put a double negative

[mellow totem]

lmao i was about to say

Amera being America is kinda funny though

[golden quartz]

real

[shy owl]

should post a 4LW with that tech in #1239217855581519992

and tell them to verify it by hand

[golden quartz]

lol that thread died

[mellow totem]

interesting that it actually changes the caps to keep Title Case

[shy owl]

and I'm all for it

[frank stump]

M'bodia tips hat

I was so confused for a second until I remembered the tool I was using

"mr. Add Hashtag" + "string.replace(/a/g, '')" = "mr. D Hashtag"

Huh

[golden quartz]

hashtagtaghashtag

[frank stump]

Fuck

[shy owl]

wat.

why is that no fd

[golden quartz]

someone really hated vodka

[shy owl]

was accidental combine

[golden quartz]

i got it in curly, still can't remove

(no it does not work in quotes)

[frank stump]

Good news

You can spam Next Alphabet on /a/g, '' to get the letters

[golden quartz]

mazing

[mellow totem]

bad news: its still in quotes?

[golden quartz]

yes absolutely

[mellow totem]

🔥

[frank stump]

NEvermind

It stops at /e/

I can't get past it

[golden quartz]

how do i delete the a

[mellow totem]

use laurasias /a/g ‘’

[golden quartz]

what the fuck i don't need this

[frank stump]

I'm going to make a lineage then

[shy owl]

delete the "a"?

[golden quartz]

didn't work

[frank stump]

I'm well and truly stuck

[shy owl]

Eliminate The A

[golden quartz]

holy hell

[mellow totem]

if i get a chance later today i can try to unquote it

maybe nata or someone else will by then though

[golden quartz]

no it's 0 am already

[shy owl]

FD but haven't tried collecting them all/checking to see if they work

[golden quartz]

i need to wake up at 6 for something

[frank stump]

What the hell is 0 AM

[shy owl]

midnight

prolly

[golden quartz]

saying it's 0 already feels weird

[frank stump]

Yeah

In human terms we call that 12AM

Also warning this lineage gets stupid

[mellow totem]

dw the og string.appends were stupid

[golden quartz]

just like everything else in this thread

[mellow totem]

remember when this thread only had like 5 people

[golden quartz]

yea and the <script> lineage was bad

[mellow totem]

crazy how much thats been optimized lol

[golden quartz]

dammit wrong position

does anyone have /#

i have #/ but not /#

would you look at that

[mellow totem]

gg

[shy owl]

tried getting it via append/prepend unicodes but got this instead
Append #/ (worked on "test")

[golden quartz]

actually i wonder if it performs better with or without the semicolon

[mellow totem]

3 comes before f, you could try append 2f and prepend 23

(occasionally works)

or the opposite and hope it gives the chars

[golden quartz]

great it deleted the /g

[frank stump]

Do you over look at a lineage you're building and wonder what choices you've made in life to get to this point

[golden quartz]

and there's a fucking space after the g

[mellow totem]

every day i ask myself why i still play this game

clearly ive made some great choices in life

[shy owl]

I just try shit. I don't look at alphabetical order unless its quoted

[mellow totem]

lmao fair enough

[shy owl]

??
hashtag slash space

[frank stump]

What

[mellow totem]

what was the first thing again?

[frank stump]

What was the first what

[shy owl]

with / I think

the first element in the lineage

[frank stump]

Oh right

"string.replace" + Prepend Parenthesis + (/)

[mellow totem]

cool ill come back to this should i get time later

[frank stump]

Aw, I just optimised it accidentally and now you don't need [/a/]

:[

[shy owl]

(/)?

[frank stump]

• /g/ works

Oh

Put This In Brackets + Slash

[shy owl]

oh straight forward

[mellow totem]

amazing give better lineage

[frank stump]

.

[mellow totem]

i am stupid

[frank stump]

I thought it'd give /a/g/ like the other one did

[mellow totem]

wait was the one on the right just replace(/) + u+0020 or something?

wait hollup can i just skip that part altogether if i just get (a,g,)?

[frank stump]

You still need "string.replace(/.)'

[mellow totem]

yeah apart from that though

[frank stump]

Oh I misinterpreted

Should be able to

[mellow totem]

cool, surely that will not end up being harder !!

[frank stump]

That final comma will not survive anything you throw at it

[mellow totem]

only one way to find out ig

[golden quartz]

fuck i resized the side bar again

that's all for today i suppose

also, what

LMAO

[frank stump]

Hey I have that

[mellow totem]

string.replace(/alphabet/g, ‘alphabet’) all combinations when

[golden quartz]

it's the same as two letters

[frank stump]

676 again woooo

[mellow totem]

(also this IS A JOKE ASD)

[golden quartz]

although this is trickier

[frank stump]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[frank stump]

I can spam A to E in quotes

I think

Oh wait it's 676 - 26

[golden quartz]

i mean

it tries to

[mellow totem]

new Prepend D

[frank stump]

Because some of them otherwise would just be Replace Letter with Letter

[golden quartz]

who wouldn't want to replace a with a

[frank stump]

But what if

'A' and 'a'

[golden quartz]

datsquare

[frank stump]

Ooh

Hold on a sec

[golden quartz]

ding dong?

i guess it just means the output will have D in it

[frank stump]

Noooo

:[

[shy owl]

I'm glad you did this while he's asleep

[mellow totem]

just in case he sees that

[golden quartz]

quick, erase all evidences

[frank stump]

Delete this thread

[golden quartz]

it's over neal can shut down the game

[mellow totem]

i cant let him blame me again

frfr

[shy owl]

@mods

[golden quartz]

wait what would next alphabet do to replace c d

oh god

[shy owl]

Neal secretly pressing the on and off button of infinite craft and watch as the chat goes "is anyone’s game lagging?"

[golden quartz]

it advances both

[mellow totem]

well theres the first 25/26 assuming previous works

[frank stump]

Weirdly getting past 'e' seems impossible

[mellow totem]

rip

[golden quartz]

Fatasquare 🔥

well that's strange

[frank stump]

I enjoy how we all let that go past without comment

[golden quartz]

g h seems to be the best we can reach with next alphabet

beautiful

[frank stump]

Huh

Invalid

[golden quartz]

that's a lot of h

[frank stump]

It likes h

Weirdly this one behaves like it's dead

[golden quartz]

new zombie just dropped

[frank stump]

Slay this one Ballzybro

Oh nevermind

Apparently it just was soulmates with Prepend Hashtag

"string.replace(/a/g, 'b')" + Prepend Hashtag Lowercase = #bstringreplacebggb

One more for the road

[little berry]

okay i guess we got pretty far - when i get something to add a character between every character ill finally be like yes i won

[mellow totem]

this is actually so insanely reactive lmao

[frank stump]

I'm aware

[mellow totem]

were you able to get it into curlies?

[little berry]

the /e/g

what does that mean - like replace all e?

[frank stump]

Replace e with nothing

Remove the e

[frank stump]

No

I did get a different one into curly but I forgot which one and how

[mellow totem]

i killed it

[frank stump]

Sad

[frank stump]

For some reason /e/ is where it fails

Try using Next Alphabet on /a/g, '' in quotes

Very classy

[modest lynx]

not a joke to me 🤷‍♂️

[frank stump]

I don't think my unquote methods are working

Yeah okay they're failing badly

[golden quartz]

me when string.replace actually replaces

why is H the dominant emoji

[frank stump]

More unquoting failures

What did you do to get yours out Nata?

[golden quartz]

i hashtagged it with only the first argument

then i conbine it with a Mr. String.replace with the second argument that i want

if you have two arguments in quotes it's really hard, because, well, they work

[frank stump]

It also likes to work on itself

Especially when combined with other characters

[golden quartz]

failed quine

[little berry]

ah when i finish work i need to get these - im noting down a list of the "classes of elements" that i should get all the variants for

[frank stump]

Do you also want Mr. .obama?

It does nothing but I find it conceptually funny

[golden quartz]

how do you even get Mr. .obama from String.replace

[frank stump]

You tell me

[golden quartz]

i thought the ingredient would at least be something related to obama

[frank stump]

Obama is male. That's close enough for the AI

Apparently turning Obama into Unicode makes him the psychopath emoji

"string.replace(/c/g, '')" + Cambodian = "hmer"

How outre

[golden quartz]

does it work on "cambodian"

[frank stump]

"Cambodian" + "string.replace(/c/g, '')" = "mobian"

No

"Cambodian" + "string.replace(/c/g, 'b')" = "bambodian"
"Cambodian" + "string.replace(/c/g, 'd')" = "bombodian"

[golden quartz]

amazing

now we can use this to respond to people who want to "replace this letter with that" in #help

[frank stump]

Oh yeah

#recipe-talk message

Let's make (/u/g, 'a')

[golden quartz]

if Previous Alphabet worked on my replaces it'd be great

[frank stump]

You got to /z/g?

[golden quartz]

no i went to sleep

[frank stump]

What does that do

[golden quartz]

it didn't work on /c/g, '' at least

[golden quartz]

gives your combinations more chance to succeed

[frank stump]

Wow

How often do you use that strat

[golden quartz]

maybe once in a while

i heard it is more effective when done in certain times of day

[frank stump]

I don't understand Neal's code at all

Anyway

Anything I should be looking for in particular?

[golden quartz]

/[]/g

[^] would be interesting too

or any letter after a backslash

although that would run into \S \W and stuff which is kinda annoying

[frank stump]

Well that's a... start of sorts

([] + []) = []

:[

[golden quartz]

how fissapointing

[little berry]

america + b = Bama

so

i have this

so if ever your replace doesnt work.... maybe backup

?? "string.replace" + Append Parentheses

nataa what does it mean

💀

hmm well ill try to get up to there but rn i am at .replace(/)

searching ( isnt of much help to me lol

[golden quartz]

replace something with itself

(does nothing)

[frank stump]

Untrue

You scar that something for life by briefly taking it to the regex dimension

[golden quartz]

bare parentheses means a capturing group, and $1 is referencing the first capturing group

[little berry]

well it replaced '' with $1

lol

i got the comma in the wrong spot

/,/g

[golden quartz]

well that just means you're replacing comma

[little berry]

yeah well the point is i want a second field

hence the attempt

like to catch up to you guys with those reactive replaces

i need 2 fields

i dont have that yet

[golden quartz]

add comma

[little berry]

....

yes thats what im trying to do

[golden quartz]

you should hashtag it before adding the second field

otherwise it will be trapped in quotes forever

[little berry]

well thats what laurasias stuff is, but it works well it seems

[golden quartz]

it also attempts self-replication

[frank stump]

Is that really so bad an existence

[golden quartz]

does this imply that you are now dead

[little berry]

god why am i struggling with this - "error-500-" is where it ends for me rn, but maybe thats cause im trying and failing to make internal in quotes

[fierce musk]

is this in any way related to code? (i got it trying to get append left parenthesis &append right

[golden quartz]

(no)

[fierce musk]

only the left one seems to work

[little berry]

close enough

[golden quartz]

another "fun" function we can make is String.slice

String.slice(0, -1) is equivalent to deleting the last character

slice(1) is delete first

the thing about these is that we can also chain them

[little berry]

😭 why

how did brent do this literally

[golden quartz]

String.slice(0, -1).append('h')

imagine

ah that is 31 characters

how unfortunate

[frank stump]

But what if

String.slice(0, -1).append('h)

Waitt shit I added a space

[golden quartz]

tht shall give us SyntaxError

[frank stump]

Counterpoint: 🦙

[little berry]

ok i cant make internal in quotes

sad

[frank stump]

I have a few slices already

Ignore Prepend Slav

[golden quartz]

yea i have mostly [].slice;

.bind(1) is weird

[little berry]

"inter" + "nal" = "intern" thanks game

yeah what is with those - i dont have much [].anything

[golden quartz]

make "internaluminum" then add shorten obviously

[frank stump]

If you can make sense of this I'd give a path

[little berry]

how did you know what would work lol

[golden quartz]

that works?

[little berry]

close enough

[golden quartz]

it ate the n

fantastic

[little berry]

well no its more that "intern" + alumin[i]um didnt do anything

but "inter" did

[frank stump]

Does Internal + PTIQM not work?

[golden quartz]

"intern" + ~a = "extern" fd

clearly the model knows its shit

"intern" + ~a + 'a' + ~al + "l" = "internal"

[frank stump]

What

[golden quartz]

trust me

[frank stump]

Me when I want to make "internaaall"

[golden quartz]

my least ambiguous lineage

[little berry]

yeah i dont have that

oh well

well i didnt want internal + ptiqm

cause i know thats gonna make dead version

and i am not interested

and yeah thats exactly what it does

[frank stump]

"intern" + Full Stop + 'a' + Full Stop + 'al'

[little berry]

full stop? wh

[golden quartz]

average "intern.a.al"

[frank stump]

Touche

[frank stump]

A few days ago I found out fullstops and other punctuation can prevent unquoting *with 'alphabet'

It's never been used since though and I forgot about the tech

[little berry]

hmm ok

[modest lynx]

wait we have string.slice?

[little berry]

funny cause yesterday i experienced a good 95+% unquote rate with "who.is"

and not the good kind

[golden quartz]

"intern" + en dash + 'a' + "l"

[frank stump]

Aha, "intern–al"

[modest lynx]

what is that for

oh

[little berry]

the hell

why is "externa" + ~al internal

[modest lynx]

intern–Al??

[golden quartz]

"intern–al"

[little berry]

did the game see you and was like ah yes i know what they want lol

[golden quartz]

it's interna

but yeah it was weird

if it randomly switches to extern then it surely can switch to intern

[little berry]

i guess

i just wouldnt have tried such a roundabout alt alphabet - if i go down the list it would be like 13th or 14th thing to try

well thats not what brent did to get the 500 though

oh well

[golden quartz]

when i get stuck i switch to curly

[little berry]

yeah but brent didnt so

[golden quartz]

of course i'm not brent

[little berry]

or are you

[golden quartz]

what does that imply

[little berry]

im just asking

implied meaning is all in your head

the recipe used was "error-500-internal-server" and i dont know of another way to get that - like as soon as i switch from " arent i cooked?

hmm well i am getting somewhere now

[golden quartz]

brent's way is surely not the only way to get it hashtagged

[little berry]

i guess

ok finally got it

okay more replace work to do

ah nice

got 2nd field

"string.replace(/ /g, 'i');"

oh never mind not quoted

[frank stump]

What

What do you mean not quoted

[little berry]

i thought it was

its just string.append(/ /g, 'i');

no not append

replace

grr

[frank stump]

How'd you make it leave

[little berry]

idk what this means

let me see

you wont like it

string.append('i')

[frank stump]

Oh

[little berry]

searching ( doesnt get me much, i dont have (alphabet) so its all code elements lol

[golden quartz]

is that two apostrophes or one quote

[little berry]

2 apostrophe

[golden quartz]

i see

well that's useful

[little berry]

oh wait it not in quotes because i was combining it with the string.replaces i got from string.append...

yeah no wonder

[golden quartz]

stuff surrounded in brackets are put in a character class

[little berry]

oops

[golden quartz]

essentially an OR condition for characters

so [#-] matches # OR -

unless you get a caret as the first character in the class

then it will match everything excluding the characters in the class

[little berry]

match all non-utf-8

[golden quartz]

well you can just put [^] and match everything

[little berry]

okay back to drawing board

of how to add another field

[frank stump]

Did we ever get one with \s in it

[little berry]

but i will inverst in (alphabet) i think

with \? yeah

[frank stump]

No

\s

[little berry]

oh

[golden quartz]

well erm technically

[little berry]

i dont think i have one

[frank stump]

Correction

[little berry]

damn so much fun

[frank stump]

Did we ever get an alive one with \s in it

[little berry]

how to get there

[golden quartz]

where

[frank stump]

Wait hold on C:\Windows

[little berry]

that fun stuff

[golden quartz]

it's just the source of String.prototype.trim and trimend

can get with standard ' '; or " " or '</s>' or <script>

and then there's this one

[frank stump]

How do you get / /?

[golden quartz]

_zstring one is also with </script>

it's quite simple

[frank stump]

Amazingly it actually is

[little berry]

damn it i caused the board removal bug

my finger slipped and i clicked

and now elements dont interact with each other, rip

[golden quartz]

there is a fix for that

#speedrunning message

or it's in your dms too

[frank stump]

Oh hold on

Mr. /?

Also out of curiosity (I already have it) what's your "//" recipe

[golden quartz]

oh

[frank stump]

Ah

Uh...

Mr. *?

[golden quartz]

it's gone through awwo actually

[frank stump]

Ah

Discord search is unhelpful

[little berry]

okay whew

Mr. en dash

im back (not really im missing a lot after reset)

[golden quartz]

em dash actually

[little berry]

hmm well the (alphabet) is giving me all fd... so i guess you got to the point where you had 2 input fields before you started more bracket stuff like that

[shy owl]

Reset? As in clearing board or file?

[little berry]

ah i had a bug happen

had to refresh

lol

i guess i have 2 fields now?

(m) + (n) = (m+n)

and that i guess split up

[frank stump]

Does it work

It's improper but this is 🦙

[golden quartz]

surely it'll Uncaught ReferenceError: m is not defined

[frank stump]

If 🦙 responds with that I will fight you

[little berry]

nope doesnt work

i guess mammoth is a variable now

[little berry]

what dot is that

[frank stump]

(m,n)adrid is wonderful this time of year

Full Stop

[little berry]

really?

it looks almost like middle dot with how high up it is compared to the underscore

[frank stump]

Well it worked for me

Maybe by coincidence middle dot also works

[little berry]

lol i search up "//" and only result is Mr. "//"

not gonna question

but ill take it

i did get fd on \\ iirc

funnily enough

[frank stump]

Well I got one of them in now

“//g” + "string.replace(/a/g, '')" = “string.replace(/a/g, '')”

[little berry]

curly //g nice

[frank stump]

“string.replace(/a/g, '')” + #Canada = #canad

As expected, it's removing stuff from the end now

[little berry]

ah yeah i see

i have to have dinner but hopefully i can get that second argument

and not (/,/g)

[frank stump]

"//g" is just "//" + "g"

Curly uses curly "."

[golden quartz]

darn it

cool fd though

ohhh so that's why it was correcting into Shell lmao

[tender stag]

I've been sitting on this long enough now.
Here's a schema outlining my tech for making almost any String.replace, with any quotes, in pretty much any order.
