I'm making a Gif export library for Lua.

I've discovered that trying to write \n to a file through lua conveniently inserts a \r before it.

Which means I can't store GIFs of size 10x10

Oh, I can put a b in the mode string for it to consider it binary.

El'endia Starman

@DJMcMayhem I feel like what's happened more is that they've shifted from making games to maintaining them and, primarily, working on Steam.

I don't think they've produced an original game that isn't in a pre-existing series for a while.

Actually, have they produced a game recently at all?

All this because I can't natively export GIFs in LÖVE2D

@ATaco This is in Python but it might help you.

ATaco

Yes, not implementing it.

Pavel

I just implemented addition for Sushi. Let me tell you, this is the last time I'm writing an interpreter in Java.

    private static void add() {
        Stacks s=Sushi.stacks;
        Object a=s.pop();
        Object b=s.pop();
        if(a instanceof BigDecimal) {
            if(b instanceof BigDecimal) {
                s.push(((BigDecimal) a).add((BigDecimal) b));
            }
            else if(b instanceof String) {
                s.push(a.toString()+b);
            }
        }
        else if(a instanceof String) {
            if(b instanceof String) {
                s.push((String)a+b);
            }

Pavel

1:23 AM

It should have been Sushi.stacks.push(sushi.stacks.pop()+sushi.stacks.pop());

But NOOOOOOOOO

quartata

I mean it isn't something that's well suited to any statically-typed language.

But it would be so much nicer if you just subclassed all these types and made your own .add in each.

Then it's just simple polymorphism: sushi.stacks.pop().add(sushi.stacks.pop())

Pavel

Then I have to write a class that can be a String or a BigDecimal. I can't inherit methods from either, which means I have to copy over a ton of methods that are otherwise builtin.

quartata

Why would you have to write a class like that?

public class SushiString extends String implements SushiType, public class SushiInteger extends BigInteger implements SushiType

Stack<SushiType>

Pavel

String and BigDecimal are both final.

You can't extend them.

quartata

Then just make them members.

public class SushiString extends SushiType { String x ... }

Pavel

1:31 AM

Ultimatly, thad offloads the add function from the main body of the interpreter to its own class, but with some extra complication built in.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yeah, but it's cleaner

Pavel

It's better, but it's still awful. Never again.

quartata

But it means that each type has its own add function and you don't ever have to do any instanceof or casting.

I can't think of anything better in a statically typed language.

As icing on the cake Java 8 has optional methods for interfaces so that way you wouldn't have to override methods for types that don't support an operation

That reeks of ego.

ATaco

	local a = 0
	for c=1, i do

	print(a)
end

Basic solution.

(Assuming N = 10)

Dennis

@El'endiaStarman To be fair, the challenge wouldn't have any better without that part. I have no idea what we were supposed to do.

El'endia Starman

@Dennis Yeah, the challenge itself isn't good. I'm saying that it got as low as -15 because of other factors in addition to that issue.

Dennis

That makes sense.

Pavel

I down voted, then realized everyone else having done so is a terrible reason to down vote.

ATaco

Although an incredibly simple one.

Pavel

It's really tempting to vote down though.

ATaco

Use you're better judgement when it comes to downvoting, remember, it costs you a rep!

Dennis

2:20 AM

It's really simple: Would you downvote the challenge if it had a score of 0? If yes, downvote. If no, don't.

Pavel

Apparently there was a really shitty IO requirement before the author fixed it.

ATaco

It's still got some bad IO.

Disallowing Hard-coding is just plain rude.

Pavel

Hard coding is never an allowed Io method

ATaco

In some languages, it's the only method.

Dennis

Well, not never, but it's disallowed by default.

Pavel

Dennis

There's an exception for languages that cannot take input. That said, I'm not sure why editors would be programming languages.

ATaco

Someone decided to make VIM TC for reasons.

Dennis

Every editor with regular expressions fits our definition of programming language. It feels odd though.

ATaco

Pavel

Well, people make vim submissions all the time

Though V is more popular now.

quartata

2:29 AM

Vim doesn't need hardcoding

ATaco

Although the source code for VIM can less be considered the contents of the page more the buttons pressed, so it's not hardcoding.

But /// does require hardcoding.

/// esolangs page

Pavel

Would it be that hard to just take implicit input?

ATaco

That defeats the purpose of ///.

Pavel

Really?

ATaco

If you have a read of it, you'll see that /// is a language which starts and finishes at self modifications.

Pavel

2:32 AM

Isn't input just hardcoded at the start of the program anyway?

Pretty sure we're talking about hardcoding.

Linux question: How come nautilus forks and you can still use your terminal, but neither sudo nautilus nor sudo nautilus && disown forks?

Dennis

Non-answer, but you should probably use gksudo nautilus anyway.

Using sudo with graphical applications can leave your system in an unbootable state.

Also, sudo nautilus && disown can't possibly fork if sudo nautilus doesn't; disown gets executed when (and if) sudo nautilus finishes successfully.
