3:00 AM

Is there some way to import and use a function without a newline or ;?

Could you seperate commands with or?

@WheatWizard __import__

pretty easy

@Pavel The better way to get rid of eval or exec is to just delete the builtin in the code

@WheatWizard I got some pings, what's the haps?

@Qwerp-Derp I solved the Logicode quine

print import("subprocess").Popen("<arbitrary bash>".replace("semicolon",chr(59)).replace("newline",chr(10)).split(),stdout=im‌port("subprocess".PIPE).communicate()[1])

it is TC

@WheatWizard Give code pls?

3:04 AM

@Qwerp-Derp what?

Sorry uhhh I got mixed up with different chat things

Can you give me the code?

A: Golf you a quine for great good!

Logicode, 1368 1241 1096 bytes var a=0001010110001111010011110010110001101000001110000010100011001010101001010110101111101100011110111111011101100100010000011001010101101011111010000000101000110010101111000101011110010101111100111100010101111001010111110011111001111000101011110010101111100111110...

sorry there it is

globals could be used for assignment and and for statement separation

@WheatWizard You're a bloody legend, the 50 rep goes to you

@DestructibleWatermelon you can run arbitrary bash without semicolons or newlines thus it is TC

3:06 AM

Despite the underdocumentation you still figured it out, you're a legend

@Qwerp-Derp Its actually not a very good solution I hope to improve it tommorrow

@WheatWizard even without that it's TC

@quartata I thought so. How do you reckon?

@WheatWizard I can't award the bounty yet, will do so in a couple of days (once ATaco's one is over).

@Qwerp-Derp Ok no rush

3:09 AM

I should probably update the docs for the multiline conds

The only things that actually need newlines as opposed to just and/or are for while and assignment

assignment can be done with globals

and arbitrary for/while can be done with a generator that exhausts itself when a condition is met + list comprehension

I'm not sure I follow how do you use ands/ ors

Chain all the commands with or

And it will execute all of them

for example how would you do a+=3;b.remove(3)

Well, not asignment.

3:12 AM

oh quartata said assignment

I feel dumb now

actually you can do everyhing inside an assignmet

Destructible Watermelon

@WheatWizard without cheap system stuff as well I guess

a,junkvar=(a+3,b.remove(3))

@DestructibleWatermelon ok fair enough

el Honk

@WheatWizard Did you know about multiline conds?

@WheatWizard I meant something like this:

globals().update({"a": globals().get("a") + 3}) and b.remove(3)

3:18 AM

Also, @Pavel, strsub and strlen do not, to my knowledge, exist in lua.

@quartata Ah that should work quite nicely

Although unpacking is clever too.

This feels like it could make a good challenge

Yeah now I want to try this haha

its decently hard and requires some lateral thinking

3:20 AM

@ATaco What is this then?

str:sub(a,b) works where str is the string variable, alternatively string.sub(str,a,b). And strlen is string.len(str), str:len() or #str

But... the manual... it says they're totally valid functions...

[string "return strlen("Test")"]:1: attempt to call global 'strlen' (a nil value)

The manual lied to you.

Destructible Watermelon

that moment when you can kill yourself by throwing a fedora in the air in nethack

How does that even work?

3:23 AM

@WheatWizard [None for _ in __import__("itertools").cycle("a")] infinite loop

That link is the officail doc, no?

I don't even think that's the correct manual.

Wonder if it's shorter than recursion though

I've got a 30-line class for buttons and progress bars

That's for Lua 2.4

3:24 AM

Mystery solved

I'm running Lua 5.3, with Compatibility for 5.2

@quartata can you stop the loop?

Actually wait -- while 1:pass works just fine >_>

@quartata btw, since you know python, maybe you can help me: why are True, False, None, etc. capitalized in python?

Why wouldn't they be?

3:25 AM

Are they optionally Capitalized?

Does TruE work?

@quartata but you can't nest that

@WheatWizard I think the secret to that is to make a generator that stops appropriately

>>> true
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'true' is not defined
>>> TruE
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'TruE' is not defined

No

@WheatWizard true

3:26 AM

Is there any reason at all for them to be lowercase?

Other than saving a keystroke.

well it only makes sense

Hmm, That's, strangely particular.

@ConorO'Brien Makes it more obvious that they're not variables I presume

like every other language, reserved words are lowercase

Destructible Watermelon

maybe its capitalised to make it easier to distinguish from most variables?

3:26 AM

Lua is true, Byond is any variation of True, TrUE, etc.

additionally the only things that are ever capitalized in sane languages are class names (and co.), not constants especially

Ruby is true, C++ is true (I believe)

if you're going to capitalize it let it be TRUE

@Downgoat in ruby have initial capitals for constants

@quartata I see

All of Mathematica's built in symbols are capitals

3:27 AM

And Python is True just to be a hipster

@Downgoat Well this isn't just a keyword. It's a value specifically

@Qwerp-Derp python is a very "hipster" language for the lack of a better term

Honestly though who cares :P

Figure 2: Lists instead of Arrays

@Pavel Thse are two very distinct things actually.

3:29 AM

Clojure's types are all over the place

Yeah

Also they're called lists in almost all high level languages

There's vectors [], sets {}, and "what-are-these-called-I-have-no-idea" ()

@quartata I don't, I was just wondering

@Qwerp-Derp Tuples?

Tuples

Ninja'd

3:29 AM

@quartata oh

why?

Not tuples, they're called sequences or something

What is that in reply to

There are lazy sequences, lazy vectors - I don't even know

I think they're either called sequences, lists or arrays

See? Hipsterlang.

I don't even know at this point.

@Pavel Which lang? Clojure or Python? Or both?

3:31 AM

Both

But what was that in reply to

Lua just has Tables

@ConorO'Brien Usually because they are implemented as a linked list where as a vector is implemented slightly differently

@quartata the naming of lists in higher languages rather than array

i had to make my own stack library for RProgN

3:32 AM

Because array means an array. A list is more abstract.

Destructible Watermelon

@Qwerp-Derp hi!

As far as I can tell, hipster languages are the ones that aren't C-like

@Pavel can't you c that? :P

@DestructibleWatermelon Hello hello

Also I have more rep than you now haha

C++11 is rather hipster.

Destructible Watermelon

3:33 AM

well

thats on stack overflow?

Lua is C like, yet is hipster too

Destructible Watermelon

stackoverflow is like rep overflow

@DestructibleWatermelon On PPCG

How much rep do you have on SO anyway?

Destructible Watermelon

ok, lets see then

I can't type things

Destructible Watermelon

3:34 AM

@Qwerp-Derp the assosciation bonus

I don't actually use SO

@DestructibleWatermelon Just 101 right?

Destructible Watermelon

what is up with the numbers beneath users

I have like 150 rep

I have 2581 rep on PPCG

Destructible Watermelon

its not fair

;_;

life 'aint

Destructible Watermelon

3:36 AM

I've even made a winning submission to a question and it is not accepted

the one time

well

when I make this koth we'll see who's laughing then >:)

@DestructibleWatermelon >:U

Is Perl hipster?

Destructible Watermelon

@Qwerp-Derp how many bounties have you gotten?

@DestructibleWatermelon Received or given out?

All I know about perl comes from one xkcd

To generate #1 albums, 'jay --help' recommends the -z flag.

3:38 AM

I've made a bounty for 50 rep before, but no one got it

Destructible Watermelon

@Qwerp-Derp received

@DestructibleWatermelon One for 50 rep

Destructible Watermelon

because I got a 200 rep one

It's the kangaroo one

@DestructibleWatermelon Which one?

@Pavel which is to say, he has 8 :P

3:39 AM

I don't get it.

what's your favorite conventional language

Destructible Watermelon

@Qwerp-Derp mine was decidedly more difficult to acquire. but not really because I was the only one competing

@DestructibleWatermelon Show me the question

My favorite language is Java.

Unless Mathematica is conventional

Destructible Watermelon

2 votes and a 200 rep bounty

2

A: Quine that takes as input the name of a language and outputs the same thing implemented in the input language

Turtlèd, Python 2, and Python 3, 3 languages, only competing for bounty all oneliners follwed by newline Turtlèd @##'@r,r,r-{ +.r_}r{ +.r_}!!-.(3"';m=ord(input()[-1]);_='x=%r;m=ord(input()[-1]);_=%r;print(_.replace(chr(100)+chr(40),chr(100)+chr(40)+chr(114)+chr(97)+chr(119)+chr(95))%%(x,_) if ...

3:40 AM

@Pavel Long.parseLong("100", 2);

More than any other language Perl can be whatever the hell you decide you want it to be. So yes very hipster

@quartata JavaScript has one inconsistent capitlization: OMG!!1!111!1 IT SUCKS, HAHA STOOPID LANG. Python disregard convention: eh

@Downgoat basically

@ConorO'Brien wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+binary+to+decimal

JavaScript is stupid for many reasons.

3:41 AM

@Downgoat I don't think I've ever really attacked JS on style

@Pavel haha I meant 4

Destructible Watermelon

hey remember that ebay vulnreability? with JSfuck?

didn't they say they wouldn't even try to fix it?

@ATaco so are many languages. No languages are perfect. (Sans Rust, or so I hear.)

In syntax, Elixir is practically demon-spawn.

But I'm forced to use JS.

This is not okay.

3:42 AM

With style things like that all that really matters is that it's consistent with itself

Destructible Watermelon

@Qwerp-Derp what was the bounty for?

If none wasn't capitalized I'd complain.

@DestructibleWatermelon I have no idea, I just got 50 rep

And 170 rep from upvotes

why so?

Destructible Watermelon

@Qwerp-Derp lucky you...

3:45 AM

@Pavel, your equivalency could be checked just via memory[this][pointer[this]] = l==r and 1 or 0

Destructible Watermelon

I still have no votes on a really old answer for pretty much no reason

I have never used lua before in my life, sooo....

Destructible Watermelon

why

Which one

@Downgoat Furthermore there wasn't nearly as strong of a convention as what you're thinking back when Python was made. I mean, C++ was less than ten years old, and I can't think of any other languages then with lowercase true false I'm sure TRUE True and true were all common

Perl back then was still 1/""

3:48 AM

Perl looks like random characters when golfed

I can't find any sense or reason in golfed Perl

It looks like a mishmash of everything from every aspect of programming, which is Perl in a nutshell

Can you find any sense or reason in golfed C?

@Qwerp-Derp perl is where code golf originated

@quartata this is question for @phase

I hope C get lambdas... just so I can see how the signatures work

I hope Processing gets lambdas

GNU C has something close enough

{{
  int x(void) { return 0; }
  x;
}}

my brother is playing halo 5 and keeps killing his team, by driving them off cliffs

@DJMcMayhem btw was this trying to look like clippy

WTH are those double braces

@DestructibleWatermelon Younger or older?

Destructible Watermelon

@Qwerp-Derp younger

GNU C statement expressions.

The contents inside are evaluated as a statement in their own block scope. So you can declare and return an anonymous function like that

It's heinous but

'''
If you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program.
The rest of them will write Perl programs.
'''

3:59 AM

More likely they'll write Pyth programs

Destructible Watermelon

@Pavel false

Oh?

@DestructibleWatermelon yeah, false programs

Destructible Watermelon

eventually is not true

@DestructibleWatermelon sure it is.

Destructible Watermelon

4:00 AM

isn't the null program valid?

if it isn't, its likely they die first

and they like tapping s a lot I think

is the null program valid in Perl?

then the second part is true if it is

why is the null program a problem

Destructible Watermelon

if the null program is valid it means they already "typed" it

Then exclude it.

Nah, that null program was written when it got there

Minimum to compile java is class a{public static void main(String[]a){}}

Also, notice Eventually is only on the first line

4:03 AM

Actually Java will take an empty string just fine

and the proper term is almost surely

Missing main: coud not load method main, no?

Destructible Watermelon

the statement is actually technically true

evetually is subjective

C:\Users\Conor O'Brien\Documents\Programming\stacked\main (master)
λ echo.>t.java

C:\Users\Conor O'Brien\Documents\Programming\stacked\main (master)
λ javac t.java

C:\Users\Conor O'Brien\Documents\Programming\stacked\main (master)
λ

seems to be fine

It won't output any compiled objects but it won't throw an error.

Destructible Watermelon

and all the monkeys that are not the one specific monkey wrote empty perl programs

4:04 AM

@DestructibleWatermelon you're reading way too much into this >_>

Destructible Watermelon

or am i?

Dum dum dum dummm...

Destructible Watermelon

or maybe I'm reading the originally intended amount?

even if I'm not, the actual truth of intention matters little

@ConorO'Brien Did you run it?

@HWalters run what?

4:06 AM

The java program

I don't think it generates anything

Destructible Watermelon

how should the input to programs using command look be formatted..?

4:44 AM

0

Q: zero zero zero zero zero zero

Given an integer n > 0, output the length of the longest contiguous sequence of 0 or 1 in its binary representation. Examples 6 is written 110 in binary; the longest sequence is 11, so we should return 2 16 → 10000 → 4 893 → 1101111101 → 5 1337371 → 101000110100000011011 → 6

Hmmm I have a problem

ButtonWindow window = new ButtonWindow();
Button start = new Button(new float[] {10, 10},
                          new float[] {100, 50}, "Start",
                          new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
                              end_check = true;
                              while (end_check) {
                                println(progress);
                                progress = (progress + 1) % 100;
                                other.update(progress / 100);

So I have this right

I need a function in start which continually increments progress

And I need a function end which stops that increment

How do I do that

Anyone here know where The Nineteenth Byte got its name?

@ATaco I would give you a link but I don't have the link hang on

I'm finding something in Meta

My long Treead quine which actually uses the threeads.

4:56 AM

I'm trying to think if there's a way it could be shorter with the new commands

Destructible Watermelon

@ATaco maybe you should just rename it Treead

Darn, I can't Fix my typo

Destructible Watermelon

whats with the unprintables?

Ascii 10, which is the character code for \n, plus 4, gives SOH

Why do you need SOH?

Destructible Watermelon

4:58 AM

cool

did you post it on site yet?

There's already a shorter one

I wrote a shorter one.

5:18 AM

hmmm, what should be the main part of my 2d lang that isn't the fact that it is 2d?

@DestructibleWatermelon Memory-tape based

Destructible Watermelon

ehh

then it ends up as 2d bf

I'd rather not

Multiple instruction pointers acting independently

Destructible Watermelon

hmmm

how about some stuff about conveyor belts

how to parse conveyor belts

hmmm, maybe that would make a good challenge...

Maybe, instruction pointer obeys gravity, sticks to conveyor belts (><v^)

Destructible Watermelon

5:26 AM

nah

but actually I'm thinking parsing conveyor belts is a good challenge

you take a 2d string or list of strings representing a conveyor belt

if it is made of a, it goes clockwise, else counterclockwise
