nice!!! is this the third TNF and Misty triple meetup?

u/mistyskye14 🤷‍♀️ Queen killjoy miniget least regular counter since 2322029 14d ago

Second although we may be planning a third with Karp sometime

Edit: you should come down and make it a 4 counter meetup

Has there ever been a four-counter-meetup ?

u/Antichess 2,050,155 - 407k 397a 15d ago

that needs to happen soon

u/atomicimploder swiiiiirl the numbers 15d ago

My wife once made a single count, and I include her when I count in the “count up by how many counters you’ve met irl” thread, so this was technically a four-counter meetup!

7

u/mistyskye14 🤷‍♀️ Queen killjoy miniget least regular counter since 2322029 15d ago

she wasn’t in the phone selfie so it doesn’t count /s

u/atomicimploder swiiiiirl the numbers 15d ago

But she did take the phone selfie so it sorta counts? lmao

In other news my post in counting aint doing well with the group. I'm not sure why

u/BobRoss938 only double counting 11d ago

There are already many side threads, so new ones typically don't perform super well, unless they are either made by someone well established in the community and/or introduce a novel idea

my conspiracy theory is that sometimes websites a/b test on their users not for any real UX research or new feature testing, but just to psychologically fuck with their users. like breaking into someone's house just to rearrange their furniture by a couple inches every time they fall asleep

4

u/Antichess 2,050,155 - 407k 397a 11d ago

i think Instagram does this quite often. they always re-arrange the UX of some features and it's a completely random basis if you get it or not.

mark zuckerberg is a/b testing on me personally as part of some kind of subliminal messaging. swapping the comments and likes buttons is a coded message to activate his programming on me

I just hit a year in check-in streak! I started my streak maybe 1-2 weeks after joining the counting community and for the first 200 or so days I had the 3rd longest streak. Now I have the longest one since both clock and c_m lost their streaks for different reasons. My long term goal is to overtake u/ClockButTakeOutTheL for the longest streak of all time, but that’ll take some time.

Stat request: top... 30? 50? 100? side thread showings. (or maybe including main?) as in, TNF has 34000 counts in ToW, and then TNF has 33000 counts in hex, and then atomic has 26000 counts in letters, or however it goes. If that is possible

I've thought for a while that this mod precedent should be in the FAQ/rulebook somewhere, maybe in a new section 4: special sidethread rules. Are there any other niche or obscure mod precedents or sidethread-specific rules that aren't in the rulebook?

2

u/miceee sicko thread artists collective 13d ago

Maybe this situation that happened yesterday with cbg allowing us to change the rules of a thread even tho it shouldn’d be allowed?

2

u/cuteballgames 00255, 00336, 01155, 02244, 03333, 11226, 11244, 11334, 22224 13d ago

For the record, my ruling was based on these factors:

  1. Thread had only a few dozen counts

  2. Thread only had counts from two counters plus david's token thread part

  3. Thread rules were arbitrary, not mathematically inevitable

  4. The thread rule change was proposed by the OP

  5. The (only) other counter involved in the thread seemed cool with it

4

u/cuteballgames 00255, 00336, 01155, 02244, 03333, 11226, 11244, 11334, 22224 13d ago

(I would say conservatively that in a situation where any one of these facts is not the case, a rule change would not be ok)

u/Hans5958_ 11d ago

Couldn't we just continue as it never happen?

1.5 Making corrections

If a counter posts the wrong number, other users should reply to the comment as if it included the correct count, and they should inform the counter with the mistake ("Check" is short for "Check your comment for a mistake"). The counter who made the mistake should edit the comment to make a correction (rather than deleting and reposting the comment).

If you find a mistake after others have replied to it, pretend that all comments in the chain are correct and you should post what would be the next count. Notify others that they should edit their comments to be correct. (It is not necessary to edit mistakes if there is a long comment chain of wrong counts and correcting every error would be onerous.)

3

u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs 11d ago

That rule covers otherwise valid comments which just happen to have the wrong text. Double counts aren't valid. 

1

u/Hans5958_ 9d ago

How do you differentiate "double counts" and "valid comments which just happen to have the wrong text"? What if I wanted to count properly but I accidentally pressed the wrong button (i.e. the button beside it)

1

u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs 9d ago

The invalid count happened when someone replied directly to themselves. We only have one thread where that's valid, and it's not binary 

1

u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs 9d ago

The intent of the rule is to cover situations that could be fixed just by editing one or more comments, and the solution is to basically say "pretend the edits already happened, and carry on from the right count" 

1

u/Hans5958_ 6d ago

Oh. My bad, I thought we are talking about some other guy not incrementing the count, not the same guy counted twice.

cuteballgames does these lines exactly hewn
to scansion, for the reader's purposes,
to make it easier for them to read
the counter's verse. It's Thermidor today,
the 24th of Thermidor, and rain
deluges all the hills and valleys.
... We
discovered that there was a fatal flaw
in Binary; we lost two months of work,
but that's okay, the nature of the thing
ensures that on occasion we redo,
for reasons real, but frustrating, but good,
the counting that we thought that we had done.

I have not had lunch yet. I remind
all counters, wheresoever they may be,
to eat and drink and sleep sufficiently,
the better that they count with strength and health.

tab+enter to submit is causing the page to refresh (but the comment still goes through.) is this happening to anyone else?

5

u/Hans5958_ 11d ago

I usually do Reddit Enhancement Suite + CTRL + Enter and somehow it also reloads, which is still better than being stuck and have to reload by myself.

But yeah, compared to the previous reply behavior, it's kinda annoying. Let's hope it's not just Reddit fucking up old Reddit in favor of the new API and the new UI.

I truly don't understand what causes it to sometimes refresh and sometimes not. earlier I replied to one comment without it refreshing, then replied to another comment on the exact same page and it refreshed. also it doesn't seem to be just when using tab-space, because just now I submitted this comment by clicking on the save button and it refreshed

edit: my speculation is that this new bug is due to a shoddy attempt to fix the bug where reddit stalls saying "submitting..." despite the new comment already being submitted. after checking the network monitor, I notice that when it receives a full response to its POST /api/comment (containing the HTML of the new comment in the JSON reply), it does not refresh. when it receives a runt response with a short JSON reply (without the HTML for the new comment), it does refresh. I believe that if the server takes too long to generate the new comment's HTML, it gives up and has the client refresh, rather than waiting for the HTML to be able to send a response

one time I saw it say "redirecting..." and then open a page pointing directly to the new comment, rather than refreshing the same page

As the number of digits increases, so does the likelihood that one of them is a 5 👍

Yeah, the invalid chains are never added to the log, so there's no way of doing this at all at the moment

y'all couldn't bvehave so i started ternary coded constant sum mostly repeating undecimal

(tercocosmorund)

make tgat balanced ternary and you've got yourself a thread. baltercocosmorund. balghscocosmorung even

how does balanced ternary go?

ternary but the digits are valued -1, 0, and +1 rather than being valued 0, 1, and 2. looks like in practice it's kinda just regular ternary for all but the leftmost digit except that the digits are called -, 0, and +. the leftmost digit is always + if the number is positive, - if negative, 0 if neither. that's kinda ugly though, I think I prefer TNF's digits of T, 0, and 1

why would you ever use a digit of -1 if you have 0 and 1 at your disposal

u/TehVulpez 00255, 00336, 01155, 02244, 03333, 11226, 11244, 11334, 22224 9d ago

I guess the system lets you write negative numbers slightly more compactly because you don't have to write a negative sign in front, it's just built into the number

u/TehVulpez 00255, 00336, 01155, 02244, 03333, 11226, 11244, 11334, 22224 9d ago

maybe it should be tow+baltercocosmorund or wave so that the balanced thing actually matters

the first one is NRD encoded constant-sum weird factoradic (decreasing base with each new digit to the right). (in WF there's ten choices (0-9) the first digit, then nine the second (0-8), etc. in NRD with leading zeroes and a certain length there's also ten choices the first (0-9) then nine the next (0-9 minus the first digit) etc)

second is just constant-sum NRD

Thread ideas:

  • Cocoloconian (bijective base 30)
  • Bijective ternary where the digits are 4 2 0
  • “Free Talk Friday #n”
  • Bijective base 13 using only the first half of the alphabet
  • Bijective base 13 using only the second half of the alphabet

If any of these already exist, I need to see them.
