Hi

ETHproductions

Hmm... how rare is Pokemon Emerald?

Dobby The Free-Elf

I was wondering.... How should I use all the OOP- stuff (function factory method, inheritance etc.) in a real life project?

ETHproductions

Grats on finding a working Pokémon Emerald! — Axelrod 10 hours ago

I came across one eight years ago or so in a house we were moving into, and I logged up like 120 hours on it

Dobby The Free-Elf

Is it a common practice to use functional programming to code webpages having only 50-60 lines of JavaScript Code?

ATaco

5:12 AM

Supports both inline and standard formats~

Dobby The Free-Elf

@ETHproductions Could you help me with this one?

ATaco

And look at that, even fonts.

Dobby The Free-Elf

↑

ATaco

@DobbyTheFree-Elf My MathJax Website is 43 lines.

Dobby The Free-Elf

Could you give me the link?

Please

ATaco

5:17 AM

It's serverside JS, and currently not open-source.

Although I probably will host it on github soon.

Dobby The Free-Elf

Okay

So, have you done something object-oriented in it?

And do you think that what you have done is a common practice?

Could you tell me the answer to these questions?

Please

ATaco

In this case, it's relatively object oriented, but not by choice.

Dobby The Free-Elf

What's that supposed to mean? (scratches head)

ATaco

I've used "Promises" which is a Dynamically Created Object, and MathJax returns an Object that I need to manipulate to produce the image.

To use the packages I want, I have to take the OOP approch.

Dobby The Free-Elf

With OOP-stuff, I meant defining own classes and objects. Have you done that too?

ATaco

5:24 AM

I didn't personally use that at all.

When it comes to JS, I prefer not to use classes, as I feel they were never implemented right.

Dobby The Free-Elf

Do you think that's what the masses do?

ATaco

From what I've seen, people prefer not to use JS's implementation of OOP, although they may use Objects generally.

Dobby The Free-Elf

So, it's okay to use the functional style of programming in JavaScript?

ATaco

Of course.

Especially if you're just writing Javascript to run on a random website.

Dobby The Free-Elf

Relief for me! (sighs)

I thought I'd been doing it all wrong since the beginning!

ATaco

5:32 AM

Most importantly, code how you feel comfortable, if you're working as part of a team, discuss what is best for all of you.

If it works, you're not doing it wrong.

Dobby The Free-Elf

Thanks for the help! (and the motivational encouragement, of course)

Bye, everyone! 👋

@ais523 How do you know infinite loops are impossible in you language BackFlip?

Destructible Lemon

5:48 AM

It is is because it is reversible

if infinite loops were possible, the path to a point in an infinite loop would be ambiguous and not reversible

(that is what I understand anyway)

ATaco

The current Backflip interpreter seems to be down.

Alt-F4

6:14 AM

-______-

I was just setting up PCi passthrough on the VM host for increased router performance

then I noticed that the WAN link was down

Then I went to the room with the networking stuff

I realized that my dad had pulled out the ethernet cables from my pfsense box and put his Cisco router back in, because "the internet was down" and "he had lost an hour of work"

It had happened like 10 minutes ago, everyone in the house was yelling at me for it

Now I'm back to barely 25 Mb/s speeds -_________-

thanks dad

Actually closer to 15

ais523

6:32 AM

@HelkaHomba it's reversible, has finite memory, and has no way to re-enter the start state

that combination of factors is enough by itself to prove a language has no infinite loops

also, voxelperfect.net being down is fairly major, given that that was the hosting site for esoteric files

I'd better report that

I have backups of some but there's a lot of information that might potentially have gone missing

Helka Homba

@ais523 I'll take your word for it

ais523

@HelkaHomba you can try to prove it yourself if you want, it's a fun little problem and not all that difficult

ATaco

I wrote an interpreter, I can't seem to find a way to permanently loop it, which is unsurprising.

ais523

I have a copy of the original interpreter, but I'm unwilling to "fix the dead link" until the fate of the Archive becomes clear

Helka Homba

There may soon be many (near) BackFlip interpreters on ppcg if that helps ;) (assuming you don't mind me using BackFlip for the challenge I'm writing about you)

ais523

6:39 AM

not at all!

Helka Homba

Kangaroo was also pretty simple and cool but I can't wrap my head around it enough to be able to make good testcases

ais523

it's fairly painful to program in

I don't think I ever tried to program in it by hand; it's more the sort of language you compile into

ais523

6:52 AM

@ATaco looks like the interpreter got moved over here: github.com/graue/esofiles/tree/master/backflip/impl

we might have to do some concerted link-editing on the wiki

ATaco

As I said, I made my own anyway.

Helka Homba

@ais523 on the topic, how goes Feather?

ais523

I don't talk about it :-P

actually I've been rather successfully not thinking about it for years

it's one of those concepts which, to me at least, sounds like it should work, but trying to work out the details just leaves me more and more confused

ATaco

But is Feather ever going to be a thing?

ais523

in a way, I hope so, as it's a rather fun idea, but it really isn't worth the effort I've put into it, so most likely no

ATaco

6:58 AM

So it's a language in which it revolves around it's children modifying it's parent to change how the children would modify the parent?

ais523

yes

Helka Homba

esolangs.org/wiki/Feather in case anyone is confused

ais523

the time-travel model is well-defined, but unfortunately doing an operation like that naively tends to create an infinite loop in the interpreter, preventing it ever advancing beyond the time of the modification

so one of the major difficulties is setting up the standard library in such a way that you can make "safe" modifications to the timeline without causing a time loop (which, in turn, requires a retroactive modification to somehow prevent itself from being made in the subsequent timeline)

Helka Homba

Are there any 2d languages where the ip can travel diagonally?

ATaco

Not that I know of, but that's an interesting idea.

Emigna

7:10 AM

I'd say hexagony's IP travels diagonally, but I assume you mean on a square grid

betseg

Hexagony?

Ninja'd

ais523

Funge-98 can send it in any direction that's a straight line

that includes the diagonals

ASCII-only

@ais523 what about moving in a straight line that moves 1 x-unit and 2 y-units per step

ais523

yes, it can do that

ASCII-only

@ATaco ... why not

ais523

7:14 AM

and although you can't specify irrational lines, they're functionally equivalent to a step of (0, 0) as you aren't going over any other lattice points anyway

ASCII-only

@ATaco yeah? because it's newish = you lose out on potential audience, like how some people still use like android 4

ATaco

Personal Greivences.

Also, I decided to make the / and `\` operators in backflip toggle when hit to see what happened.

It's interesting, but no more TC.

Helka Homba

@ATaco don't they already do that?

ais523

@ATaco err, they do toggle when hit, already

ATaco

Oh, my original implementation was wrong then.

Well, now it's right atleast.

ais523

7:18 AM

they wouldn't be flipping mirrors otherwise

just mirrors

(for people who don't already know, you can make a reliable one-sided "fixed mirror" in BackFlip out of a flipping mirror and a couple of arrows; it changes state each time you use it but its two states act identically)

Helka Homba

@ais523 Oh, about backflip, just to make sure: the arrows point to the direction the ip came from, not the direction the ip was moving in, right?

ais523

yes, the direction it came from (i.e. the opposite of the direction it was moving in)

Helka Homba

k

Martin Ender

7:33 AM

@HelkaHomba there are also some where movement is only diagonal

Other languages that allow both diagonal and orthogonal movement would be Rail or Wierd

Helka Homba

Now it's time for a non-regular grid 2d language

Except how would you type that...

Martin Ender

One day I want to design a language on a Penrose grid. For that one my idea for the source code would be that you require one of the radially symmetric grids and write the code along concentric "circles" around the origin

The same works for yours, but there might be a simple mapping to a 2D grid

ais523

there definitely is, although you might have to leave some cells empty

Destructible Lemon

@HelkaHomba I was gonna make one

but would just be a circle with cells around it and stuff

ASCII-only

@HelkaHomba Well I'd parse it line by line, assuming you start on a hexagon (use no-ops or direction changing to start somewhere else). The next characters would be the triangle, square and the other triangle. Every other row would be the squares not in line with the hexagons

Martin Ender

7:42 AM

@ais523 that probably works best

ais523

yes, I think ASCII-only came up with the specifics faster than I did

every other line would be half-density

Helka Homba

@MartinEnder I was just thinking, with an aperiodic tiling and each shape hardcoded to a different command, could you just "write" programs by naming the cell the ip starts at? so the aperiodic path the ip follows does the stuff you want for your program

I would be limited, or very hard to find programs I'd guess..

Martin Ender

@HelkaHomba that might actually work, provided it's actually possible to find a coordinate system for the grid (which works in the radially symmetric one, but I'm not sure how you'd go about it otherwise)

Helka Homba

Something like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperiodic_tiling#/media/… can have a simple enough coord system

Martin Ender

what's the origin?

Helka Homba

7:48 AM

Choose one tile and call it the origin and tile the others out from there in a grid?

SIGSEGV

Posted new challenge

might be hard

It's the first one of a 'series' of challenges

and the simplest one

Martin Ender

@HelkaHomba I imagine the tiling can't be unique given a single tile, otherwise it would be periodic, right?

SIGSEGV

It is about making a problem solver

It has a very, very interesting example

What is theanswerofeverything where t=1,h=1,e=1,a=1,n=1,s=1,w=1,r=1,o=1,f=1,v=1,y=1,i=1 and g=42?

=> 42

Helka Homba

@MartinEnder Hmm. I think Wang tiles can only be tiled aperiodically, so they should work (though they are squares again)

Martin Ender

@HelkaHomba that doesn't mean that the tiling is unique though

Helka Homba

7:54 AM

ah, right

Martin Ender

whereas for the Penrose tilings it's known that there is only one possible tiling for each of the possible 5-fold radial symmetries (which is the defined by how you create the 5-fold symmetry at the centre)

Helka Homba

for Wangs you could just have tile preferences so when making the grid starting at one tile it is built up using the most preferred tiles whenever possible
