@lyxal Ooh I just noticed I got that notification at the same time you did lol

nyt eating bugs fr

TIL Amazon themed Canvas?!?

@Seggan Tbf the people I live with aren't family either :p

@user Turns out I needed to do is None not == None

'cause Python lets things be all woogly

oh yeah

python do be like that

is None is how you check for None

yeah

okay i thought i clearly remembered the challenge being exactly this with pipes and all but maybe i'm just thinking of this

@RydwolfPrograms Oh, that makes sense, you can override __eq__

Does None == foo work?

is None is the pythonic way to do it though

@RydwolfPrograms Not to mention the fact that people keep using me as a scapegoat for all the mistakes they make

User error my ass, it's a you error and you know it

@lyxal Yeah I was just curious if Mypy understood that None.__eq__ would work

There's whole fields of study dedicated to you too

God, I hate those creeps

Must be invasive dealing with all the "user experience" people

I do not want people interacting with me

you enjoy it

otherwise you wouldn't do things like sneak into my word documents

See those are interactions initiated by me

@user besides, you literally gave me permission to blame you

I don't want other people studying user interaction

@lyxal That comment wasn't directed at you

ah

do I get a blame pass?

I'm fine with being blamed for Australia's wildfires and all the death and destruction they cause, I'm not fine with being blamed for people entering invalid input or whatever

@lyxal Sure

:D

You can git blame me anytime

I'll make sure to blame all input failures on you

I'll also make sure to blame you if using the Play framework for my uni architecture assignment goes wrong :p

given you introduced me to Scala and all it entails

Oh hey Play finished the Pekko migration, nice

@lyxal "all it entails" sounds so ominous

It's not as if all Scala programmers eventually spiral into depression and offer themselves up to Lord Nyarlatothep to power the Scala compiler

Sandbox posts last active a week ago: Anti Tic-Tac-Toe

...is moin a misspelling of main in this wiki.python.org URL? wiki.python.org/moin/Generators

Oh wait no apparently it's just the platform they use to host the wiki lmao

ooh you're getting into generators

those are some of the best things

Super cool, but also super weird

and potentially funky

and not always easily portable either

wait how does a builtin python feature get unportable

when you start doing funky mutation/state related things

portable to other languages I mean

ah :P

@lyxal fwiw there is a library to add algebraic effects to Scala

Only it's not maintained anymore, afaik (the designers created a whole language: effekt-lang.org)

even then, a simple 22 line python generator becomes a nasty looking 69 (nice) line lazylist unfold

which requires a Tuple5

([BigInt, Option[BigInt], Option[BigInt], BigInt, BigInt])

No I mean, with algebraic effects, you basically get generators

do algebraic effects add suport for continue and break?

You can already do that (jankily) with exceptions

scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/util/control/Breaks.html

Well that's the bloat part

It makes the 22 liner a 69 liner

The lyxal I knew would've considered that a pro

Who even are you?

What do color on sandpile.org mean? e.g. #E0C0C0 mean unavailable on x64, #B0D0D0 mean only on x64

@user code golf trumps funny

It's what we (are supposed to at least) do at the end of the day

@lyxal Pish-posh, next you'll tell me the goal of chess is winning so I shouldn't take every en passant I see

Funny you mention chess

I'm currently designing a neural network to play a chess variant

Ooh, what's the variant? (and the network?)

My friend in comp sci made a game he calls "cursed chess" (a lot of the cursedness was discarded as it actually became playable), which features merging pieces pretty heavily (there are 59 distinct pieces possible as a result, ~50 of which are slightly different combinations of the basic ones)

Ooh

And his approach to making an AI to play it with more traditional means wasn't very fruitful, so I'm basically making a ghetto-AlphaZero for it

Knook?

It takes some brain wrapping to understand the merging rules, but once you get them they make sense. Basically, every mergable piece has a "base" piece and possibly others which have been merged into it. So if you move a knight onto a bishop, you'd have a base knight merged with a bishop. Then if you move that onto another piece, you add its base piece (and only its base piece) onto the one that moved

There are special cases for pawns (and a variant of pawns, "flankers"), which turn into various levels of "scouts" (which, at level 3, can eventually move in a 5×5 grid arbitrarily), knights which merge into "smilers" (knights but 2-4 instead of 1-2), and rooks merge into "catapults" (only move side to side, can capture ahead a fair distance without moving to the captured space)

I love when you start reading an article and the grammar is terrible but from the first sentence you can tell it's gonna be extremely useful

@user why would I do that?

It's literally the rules of chess

I can't tell you to just break the rules of chess

This edit is just a duct tape but whatever

my respect for svelte just went up 2 million percent

on the home page, they have an examples section

nothing special

but clicking on the more examples box leads to something I wasn't expecting at all

> Dynamic Attributes

@RydwolfPrograms I see, interesting
