@Sp3000 oh absolutely.

if you don't feel a strong need to vote, laziness absolutely wins

feersum

Yeah that's probably the main one; the other one is hating the system/the available choices.

Nathan Merrill

usually "hating the system" means "I hate all the candidates", but I think the best argument against it is that you are voting for more than the president, and that alternate-party votes still matter even if they don't win

I really think it just comes down to laziness

and I still haven't decided if I'm too lazy :)

Sp3000

Hmm I was thinking if I had the choice I might not vote because I don't feel informed enough about who's who to decide, but I guess that's a form of laziness in that I don't exactly go researching each candidate...

Nathan Merrill

right :)

How do I ping someone with a space in their name?

quartata

Omit the space.

Wheat Wizard

ok thanks

trichoplax

In most cases, if the @mention doesn't autocomplete (in chat or in a comment on main) then the person isn't reachable by ping

That is, they haven't been in chat for a while, or haven't commented on the same post in the case of comments on main

An @mention in a question or answer post has no effect - it only works in chat or comments

Wheat Wizard

Thank you. I was trying to reach the offerer of a indefinite bounty in the comment of my solution

quartata

Can mods superping in comments?

trichoplax

12:38 AM

@WheatWizard If they posted an answer on meta you can comment on that, as the person who made the post will always be notified of comments on it (without needing an @mention)

Wheat Wizard

I was going to but they didn't

trichoplax

Did they comment on the meta question? Otherwise I don't think there's a straightforward way to contact them (unless they are available when you try to ping in chat?)

feersum

trichoplax

@feersum Did that just ping me??

feersum

Yes

trichoplax

feersum

trichoplax

@quartata It appears to be only a chat power

quartata

Strange.

Wheat Wizard

@trichoplax No. They are a rather active member so I'll just wait. Thanks for the help

trichoplax

@feersum For me too, but it didn't give me a pink (1) on my avatar or a pink highlighted username

feersum

12:42 AM

I see

quartata

@feersum That's a clever trick.

There's a non-blocking space between the i and the f.

At least as far as I can tell

feersum

Actually, it's a backspace

quartata

Ah.

That's why it copy-pasted as trforce in my terminal but tri force in my address bar

trichoplax

@quartata I can't think of a need for comment superpings. In a comment either the person is already pingable or the post the comment is on is not the place for it. If a mod needs to draw someone's attention to a specific post they can always superping with a link to it from chat

quartata

@trichoplax Yeah, fair.

feersum

12:43 AM

Idea: Send long messages with tons of backspaces that result in rm -rf / when pasted into a terminal.

quartata

More to the point, se chat preserves backspaces?

That seems super not good haha

trichoplax

Bounties that are only present in the meta question, and not posted as separate meta answers, leave no way to contact the bounty poster when time comes to claim the bounty. Please consider posting an answer if you have a bounty offered that doesn't yet have a meta answer. — trichoplax 25 secs ago

@WheatWizard I've commented on meta to hopefully reduce the chance of this happening in future. If you can't get in touch with the bounty poster, let a mod know so they can superping

Wheat Wizard

Nathan Merrill

does anybody know why states (except 2) vote for electoral college in a winner-takes-all fashion?

like, it's certainly possible to split up electoral votes by proportion of voters

Geobits

That gives that particular state a lesser impact on the election though (in most cases).

Or that's the rationale I usually see for it.

If all states did it, it would be different.

Nathan Merrill

so, basically, because the leaders are usually of the majority party, they don't want to change it so that there are less votes for their party?

Wheat Wizard

2:46 AM

Parties that have an advantage at the state legislative level tend to want their state to be all or nothing so they can ensure their party wins gets all the votes at the national level.

a bit too slow

@WheatWizard the bounty was for 250 rep, right?

Oh, by the way, @PhiNotPi, I finally understood what this guy was talking about at the end of their answer. If you look at the picture for (2 3 7) here, you can see that you can get to any triangle from any other triangle by a series of reflections, which can be written down as a string of 'a's, 'b's, and 'c's.

The word problem involves determining if two of these strings are equivalent in the given group.

So we can tweak the word problem to check against strings where some small set of suffixes are appended, in order to put the triangles that make up the same heptagon into the same equivalence class, so to speak.

PhiNotPi

okay

@Sp3000 In Seed, is Befunge understood to mean Befunge-93, Befunge-98, or whichever one you want?

Oh the page says 98, never mind.

Any way, I read the Python random source again and realized that the Seed problem is much, much easier than previously believed.

Sp3000

4:16 AM

Easier? :o

feersum

Somehow, last time I checked, I believed that only 32 bits of the seed are used.

But actually, it feeds in all the bits of an arbitrary size integer.

Can I run a SEDE that looks at deleted questions?

@HelkaHomba Would you like to join us?

Wheat Wizard

@ConorO'Brien Since you forgot about the : operator I decided to make another solution that doesn't use it. I've added that along with improved my original solution.

Anonymous

5:03 AM

@feersum That's the behavior for Python 2 - only 32 bits are used for the seed. For Python 3, the entire seed value is used.

Anonymous

Specifically, in 3.2, random.seed was updated to use all of the bits, rather than just the first 32

feersum

I was wondering if it that was the case, but hte Python 2 code has the same algorithm for using all the seed bits.

Anonymous

I think 2.7.10 moved to version 2 of the seed algorithm as well

Anonymous

Well, Python 2's random.seed doesn't have a version specification parameter, which makes me think it only uses version 1

feersum

It uses more than 32 bits in my 2.7.6.

Anonymous

5:09 AM

It will use 64 bits on a 64-bit version

Anonymous

Since (I'm pretty sure) the 64-bit version uses MT19337-64

feersum

>>> random.Random(123).random()
0.052363598850944326
>>> random.Random(123 | 2**100).random()
0.45335264010052034
>>>

Oops, mixed up the two Pythons I had open.

But it still does not give the same values with Python 2.

Anonymous

Hmm... Maybe the only-32-bits thing was for non-integer seeds

feersum

It takes the hash code for non-integers

Anonymous

Yeah, which is a 32-bit value

feersum

5:17 AM

Nov 3 '15 at 19:01, by feersum

Python's RNG only uses 32-bit seeds.

Did I know something then that I don't now?

Or was I an idiot?

Oh, the version 1 or 2 thing only changes whether it uses the chars of a string for an initializing array, rather than hashing the string.

Anonymous

Python 2.7.12 still only uses the bottom 32 bits for seeding

feersum

@Mego That's a red herring.

init_by_array is where the seeding action really happens.

Anonymous

@feersum Oh I see now

Anonymous

It does only use 32-bit seeds (by virtue of using MT19337), but it splits larger seed values into 32-bit chunks and combines them (through something that looks like xorshift to my untrained eye).

Anonymous

So really there are only 2**32 possible seeds. Longs are mapped to 32-bit ints.

feersum

5:32 AM

What do you mean? The seed array is splatted all over 19936 bits of the state.
