@lyxal hopefully they'll change as little as possible

we'll see :3

My coworker just wrote this Python and I died a little inside

Wait image is too big

> str((int) (dist / 2000))

That is valid Python

dist // 2000 to save a few bytes and drop the cast to int :p

f"{dist//2000}"

If you really want to golf

Try it online!

Alternatively, really commit to the bit and use (str) ((int) (dist / 2000))

Because you can also type cast to string

LOL

It even works more or less like they (seem to have) intended

I came here to say: I think I've become fully American. I've begun (mis)pronouncing my own name the American way when speaking inside my head, I have a craving for donuts, and the other day, I estimated the length of something in yards

I am willing to defend American English spellings and have started liking beef

Ok normally I wouldn’t be advertising my answers here but this new desmos recursion update is just so awesome, I just have to showcase it. Here is a desmos answer to Fibonacci swoosh: codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/272766/96039

Very cool, I did my original drawings for that challenge using desmos

It doesn't seem to be rendering properly on my end, is it just extremely laggy or is there something I'm missing?

Ah, "upwards of 30 minutes"

@emanresuA XD yea idk why it’s so slow

You can change [1…c] to like [1…20] to speed it up a bit if u really wanted to see it

Q: Is it a cartesian product?

The cartesian product of two multisets \$A\$ and \$B\$ is multiset of all ordered pairs consisting of an element of \$A\$ and an element of \$B\$. For example, the cartesian product of \$\{1, 2, 7, 1\}\$ and \$\{4, 6\}\$ is \$\{[1,4],[1,6],[2,4],[2,6],[7,4],[7,6],[1,4],[1,6]\}\$, where the order ...

I have no idea how jelly had the euler totient function but not outer product at that time

And also I find it deeply weird how many langs have the euler totient function as a builtin

@RydwolfPrograms I hate this so much

gonna start using it everywhere

12:36 PM

@RydwolfPrograms what

does it even work

of course it works, spoiler

Me: opens /tmp on ginger's server

it goes on for like 10 more pages of this smh

SE API to be moved behind the CDN

oh, chat's back

@lyxal how long have you known about this :p

surprisingly only a day :p

is this why you told me to hold off on the bot proxy

yes :p

I don't think it'll actually make a difference, though

since the bots never interact with the official API

1:04 PM

unless you happen to have confirmation that they're going to unblock the server, which seems unlikely

i do not

Q: My cat sat on my laptop, now the right side of my keyboard types the wrong characters

thought so

I Super Don't Want to mess with the proxy, but having the bots dead is really bothering me

My cat sat on my laptop and now if I type either L or P, it inputs 3 or * instead. The rest of my keyboard still works correctly. The problem is bad enough that I had to use the touch screen of my computer to type this in. How can I restore the correct working behaviour of my keyboard?

@pxeger should've called the question "My cat sat on my 3ato, now the right side of my keyboard ty*es the wrong characters"

also, just verifying 8554/8000/8001 are still ok?

(they are not)

switched from walyand to x11 and the subtle color change is infuriating

not that the colors are bad, it just so jarring seeing a different color

@lyxal It's not that the syntax is specifically for typecasting, it's just that parentheses may be used in redundant, matching pairs. Also spaces after the first character of a line may be included redundantly. This can be useful for formatting code across multiple lines. The only use actually suggested in PEP-8 is for tuples of one element (e.g. instead of x=7, one should write x=(7,)).

Q: Is putting a silly name on a diploma a bad idea?

I will soon be finishing my undergraduate degree. My university has requested my "preferred name" to display on the diploma. I think it would be funny to submit [my name], King of the Rats. I also intend to apply to law school within the next year. I have 2 questions: Are diplomas submitted in l...

@JonathanAllan well then how come I can also cast things to float using (float) ()? :p

@lyxal I think because float is a class and that's how its constructer works, so you're calling its __init__

It's a joke :p

Obviously it's just calling the float function

Because that's how the syntax works

Ofc there's no typecasting in python it's dynamically typed why would there be?

woosh

Now we're even :p

I had no idea it was a joke, now I understand Ginger :)

DLosc

11:05 PM

@lyxal You can even cast tuples to range: (range) (3, 10, 2)

I think I'm too used to using dynamically typed languages to even consider "casting" as specific to static langs :D:D (well I'll tell myself that for now...)

@DLosc horrifying :p

@JonathanAllan the joys of duck typing :p

11:29 PM

Let's keep it going ...you can even cast a tuple to stdout (print) (1, 2, 3)

what does a integer that works in public relations have to do with stdout?

DLosc

stdout is the default means of relating to the public
