@flawr 1. I made it behave like that in Pretzel because that's how it works in math=). 2. Pretzel is my Prefix golfing language that uses a custom code page to use glyphs like ΣΠ⌥µ∀₅²½

@Maltysen or @Downgoat or @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Whats the difference between calling my paint() function in my update subroutine vs calling window.requestanimationframe(paint) in my subroutine?

Maltysen

@AshwinGupta when requestAnimationFrame calls your function, the browser is telling you that its ready to draw stuff, that its not doing anything else important right now

Ashwin Gupta

@Maltysen whos "you"? Me, the developer? Or the end user?

Cyoce

Maltysen

@AshwinGupta the program

Ashwin Gupta

Oh okay.

So its just good practice pretty much.

Alright well great, now I've got it in there :D

that wasn't so hard.. IDK why it took me like a week to get to it =/

@Cyoce whats "Diaspora"?

Cyoce

@AshwinGupta Jewish Diaspora History.

Ashwin Gupta

@Cyoce fun.

Cyoce

@AshwinGupta ikr

Ashwin Gupta

@Cyoce Now tell me, in the class "fuck", what do you do?

Cyoce

@AshwinGupta say "fuck" repeatedly every time Dr. Bordelon gives us another bullshit reading.

Ashwin Gupta

9:12 PM

@Cyoce Ah, well isn't that nice.

He has a phd though, he must be pretty smart.

flawr

@El'endiaStarman And I bet you've already seen the new numberphile, right?

Cyoce

@AshwinGupta Yes she is. However, she often assumes/expects her students to also have the same level of expertise.

Ashwin Gupta

@Cyoce thats how my Spanish teacher was last year.

@flawr this video is actually mildly interesting. Mostly because it amuses me that someone would make a video about this. However, I still have to say, "what the f*ck did I just watch?"

quartata

I wonder what kind of PhD projects Jewish History students do

Cyoce

Ooh!

Nvm.

Greetings, @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ!

flawr

@AshwinGupta Well I think it is pretty intersting=)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

The day I got my assoc bonus I got 2300 rep and thought I did something severely wrong.

Cyoce

Obligatory greeting lenny! ¯\_( ͡ಠ ͜ʖ ͡ಠ)_/¯

Uggh every time I update the Pretzel key layout I have to restart my computer just to test if it's working correctly :'(

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Haha

Ashwin Gupta

@flawr It is, I agree. Problem is its just so... pointless... I mean who cares how primes end? We aren't any closer to discovering patterns in prime numbers. Although then again, 99% of everything on youtube is pointless. At least this was educational and required thought.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

9:23 PM

Most higher math is pointless. Like art. We do it because it's beautiful and fun.

flawr

Well it can surely have severe implications???

I mean look at all the stuff that depends on the distribution of prime numbers!

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Like my favorite: Pointless topology.

quartata

ba dum tsss

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

:D yeah. Topology is what my geo teacher used to confuse his students

flawr

@AshwinGupta And this is a pattern in prime numbers, what else would you consider a pattern?

Nathan Merrill

ok.... so apparently xor can be represented by addition mod2

which is pretty cool

flawr

9:30 PM

And and as multiplication=)

Rainbolt

I can't watch the video at work. Are you guys talking about this: quantamagazine.org/… ?

flawr

@Rainbolt Yep!

Rainbolt

"[...] a prime ending in 9 is almost 65 percent more likely to be followed by a prime ending in 1 than another prime ending in 9" sounds like a pattern to me.

flawr

@QPaysTaxes Sure, try it!

Rainbolt

But maybe "pattern" has some mathematical definition that I don't know about. I'm no math guy

Q: Do these new insights into prime numbers affect encryption security?

Maltysen

@QPaysTaxes its not been proven IIRC

flawr

@QPaysTaxes Still unknown.

What idea?

TL;DR version?=)

Why don't you take a real encryption scheme?

=)

trichoplax

@QPaysTaxes You can set it in the future when it's been proven...

flawr

@QPaysTaxes Good point=)

@trichoplax Haha, nice idea!

trichoplax

I think it's been proven for quite small gaps, just not down to 2 yet

flawr

9:38 PM

@QPaysTaxes How about single prime encryption? There is a conjecture that there actually are infinitely many primes.

trichoplax

lol

flawr

@QPaysTaxes Haha, yes, quite a long time ago=)

trichoplax

You could set it a few thousand years ago before that was proved :P

I like the idea of analogue encryption based on white noise

flawr

@trichoplax How racist.

trichoplax

You could probably get it to work with pink noise too

quartata

9:41 PM

I was just about to say that lol

trichoplax

:)

flawr

Who needs encryption anyway.

Maltysen

@QPaysTaxes but isn't that provably unbreakable

unless you mean the hackers get the keys because they are so big

trichoplax

One time pad can't be broken as long as it isn't intercepted, but you have to get the pad to the other person somehow.

quartata

@Maltysen One time pads? Yeah they're information theoretically secure but not very practical to say the least

I like how in english there are three separeate words for parenthesis() brackets[] and braces{}

@flawr I call the last one curly brackets

trichoplax

@flawr As a bonus, most people who aren't programmers call parenthesis () brackets

FFI?

El'endia Starman

10:44 PM

Foreign function interface

A foreign function interface (FFI) is a mechanism by which a program written in one programming language can call routines or make use of services written in another. The term comes from the specification for Common Lisp, which explicitly refers to the language features for inter-language calls as such; the term is also used officially by the Haskell and Python programming languages. Other languages use other terminology: the Ada programming language talks about "language bindings", while Java refers to its FFI as the JNI (Java Native Interface) or JNA (Java Native Access). Foreign function interface...

Definitely in the long-term plan for Pytek. @quartata and I were planning on C and Python.
