The Nineteenth Byte

^^

@El'endiaStarman Oh. Well, I usually post them in pairs

@NathanMerrill You should include stuff like ninjenga

interesting

@LuisMendo Yes, only few people know that carets are actually gregarious animals.

10:01 PM

All this talk of ~~carrots~~ carets makes me want to post more of them.

^

Business Cat

This query counts how often people have used any number of carets, but with no other characters, in their messages.

How recent is that? Do my last couple carets count towards it?

silos.tryitonline.net/… any suggestions v2

At the end it says Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottle of beer on the wall.

Should be 99 bottles

thx

oh it says 1 bottles :/

look at all those stealth pingers

@DJMcMayhem Nope. I have yet to set up a script that continues to update the database.

But when was the last update?

If I have that binary | is x divides y, what should unary | be?

10:10 PM

@DJMcMayhem Earlier today.

What language is this?

@ConorO'Brien x is prime?

@ConorO'Brien How about absolute value?

oh and the top (not very sophisticated) rickrollers

Sorry, I mean sign.

-1, 0 or 1

10:12 PM

@LuisMendo that's a nice one... of all the nice suggestions, it has the highest relevance to modulus

thanks!

@ConorO'Brien :-) "Division" immediately made me think of that

@flawr The LIMIT 25 is actually not really needed. There's only a few more than 25 people that have posted rick-rolls.

What language is this?

If an answer doesn't meet the challenge specs it should be deleted, according to our criterion. The author has been notified that the answer fails to meet a spec and hasn't solved it or deleted the question. Should I flag for mod attention?

In case it matters, it's this answer:

goo.gl/3LRHXU this is correct? (couldnt copy the real address, it was too long)

10:20 PM

@LuisMendo yep

@LuisMendo tbf the author may not have had time to respond

the last edit was 2 hours before the problem was brought up

I think I did this right: messages with the most replies.

@flawr Thanks

w00t #2

@ConorO'Brien Well, it's been 4 days since the problem was brought up, and the user has been "seen 3 ours ago" according to his profile info

10:23 PM

@El'endiaStarman woo-hoo, 4th place!

@LuisMendo true. they could have forgotten. it wouldn't be too hard to bring it up again

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Are you Beta Decay?

@DmitryKudriavtsev no

ok

10:30 PM

i was @betseg, probably will be @betseg again

I guess that's @βετѧΛєҫαγ

Bald Bantha

@DmitryKudriavtsev I asked that a while ago. Technically he would be alpha decay, but whatever

^^ :-)

if:

n % k = n % k
(-n) % k = k - (n % k)

what does n % -k mean

Nobody agrees.

10:33 PM

really? :/

@ConorO'Brien I recommend to implement % such that it results in nonnegative numbers.

main() {printf("%d %d %d %d\n", 8%5, 8%(-5), (-8)%5, (-8)%(-5));}
/* In C: 3 3 -3 -3 */

print(8%5, 8%(-5), (-8)%5, (-8)%(-5))
# In Python: 3 -2 2 -3

In Matlab there are two similar functions, mod and rem, which differ precisely in that:

>> mod([8 8 -8 -8], [5 -5 5 -5])
ans =
     3    -2     2    -3
>> rem([8 8 -8 -8], [5 -5 5 -5])
ans =
     3     3    -3    -3

.

Haskell makes the exact same distinction, looks like.

10:38 PM

TIL 2 ground cherry pits contain enough cyanide to kill you. o_O

@LuisMendo TIL=)

dont chew and youll be ok

People who have posted the most messages that don't have an alphabetic character in them.

@flawr I hardly ever use rem

is /= a thing in ruby?

10:39 PM

   mod =: |~
   8 8 _8 _8 mod 5 _5 5 _5
3 _2 2 _3

in J

@flawr are there any such implementations?

@El'endiaStarman ಠ_ಠ

@El'endiaStarman You still need to fix the transcriptAnalyzer_ prefix

@peopleWhoKnowMoreAboutSEThanMe If I award a bounty before the 1 week period is up, will it stay featured the full week?

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ I'm actually not sure I can.

@El'endiaStarman ?

10:41 PM

@DJMcMayhem No. The question is featured exactly when the bounty is active.

Looks like Java’s % is C-like.

@ConorO'Brien I forgot that the second argument can be negative

ah

Negative numbers are not my thing. They make things difficult

Any CMCs? ~~I have nothing better to do with my life right now~~

10:43 PM

IMO, more languages should have a Nat type

Nat?

For natural numbers

Well, coq has nat

ah

People who post CMCs.

10:43 PM

@Lynn Let the war begin: With or without 0?

@flawr Natural numbers don't include 0. Whole numbers do.

^

From a mathy standpoint I'd always argue against 0.

Nathan Merrill

@El'endiaStarman I've posted a couple, and they aren't included in that list

@El'endiaStarman In german "whole" numbers are usually the integers.

10:44 PM

Further support: "whole" sounds like "hole", and "0" looks like a hole.

^^

Inductive nat : Set :=
  | O : nat
  | S : nat -> nat.

That's how I learned it too (in the US)

@NathanMerrill My query looks for "CMC:" with anything after that. How did you type yours?

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ CMC: given a list of strings, join them by the natural numbers. E.g., ["a", "b", "cd"] => "a0b1cd" and ["hello", "world", "how", "are", "you"] => "hello0world1how2are3you

10:45 PM

@Lynn I see we have a fellow coq user

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ true : bool~

Oh you're not talking about coq au vin?
