If there were a bot right now, y'all'd know about draft PR #1637

me when I

I remove a variable usage that literally made the thing I wanted to work work

without even realising it

big brain right here

mathcat

12:17

I wish this would happen to me.

lyxal

no you don't - don't cause bugs for yourself :p

mathcat

btw how are variables stored again in v3?

lyxal

hashmap in context

mathcat

ah, right

@lyxal Also, var ctx? I don't see it being reassigned?

line 286 of Interpreter.scala

mathcat

ah

Okay so good news: literate mode conversion now respects keywords as variable names in lambda parameters

bad news: it inserts the branch character if you have stuff after the branch, and it doesn't work if you have nested lambdas

it's all in draft PR #1638

I'll work on this again tomorrow and hopefully fix everything

@RydwolfPrograms is the server move complete? people have been complaining about the distinct lack of Vyxal Bot

Ginger

in Off-Topic TNB, 3 hours ago, by Rydwolf Programs

@Ginger No, it failed to boot.

lyxal

Let me finish my message

Ginger

lol

lyxal

Maybe hyper hosting is possible if rydvylf is going to take too long

Ginger

well, I don't know what the deal there is

lyxal

21:52

Because I read the transcript and saw that the wolf option is going to take more time

@Ginger very simple. We ask hyper to host the bot again just like it used to be hosted

Ginger

I'm actually going to ask him if he can just do a vanilla debian install

no copying needed

lyxal

Interesting hosting developments in ottnb

If the bot's written in Python, can't we use PA?

Is SE not on the PA whitelist or are there other complications?

Vyxal Bot

Well, here we are again.

Ah'll be bahk.

Well, here we are again.

Vyxal Bot

@Ginger I am doing billions of computations a second while you struggle to remember how to blink

Ginger

:D

lyxal

@user I don't know if it's permanently running or if it gets terminated after a while

Vyxal Bot

@lyxal You are lyxal.

Ginger

22:27

phew

lyxal

Whew

Ginger

first!

lyxal

I was getting a little worried there for a second that the answer might have been no

Good to see I'm still me

@user Not necessarily, I'm sure there's a praclang out there that has built-in TRNG support

Me on my way to add TRNG to vyxal

Ginger

make it refuse to run if you don't have a TRNG expansion card in your PC :b

~~it sends a request to random.org~~

ysthakur requested changes on #1637 (Make maps and filters pass variables between branches)

user

@lyxal Could you please ELI5?

Ginger

every day we download 10k random numbers from random.org to our server and whenever a vyxal program needs one we just give it a pseudorandomly-selected one from the list

lyxal

@user map-lam :=original dup | double | $original

Right now, $original in the last branch will return 0

In the PR, $original returns whatever it was set to in previous branches

user

I don't get why we need to overwrite the original function's context for that, though. Can't we just copy the variables from the previous context and pass them on to the next one?

Because if I have a user defined function foo, then map-lam foo will leave stuff on the stack of foo's original context, and then when you call foo again, you'll see that leftover stuff on the stack again

lyxal

How are you going to get those variables out of executeFn?

user

22:38

We make a modified version of executeFn, I guess

lyxal

Code duplication though

user

Overwriting the original context will be problematic if we ever do coroutines (which isn't going to happen but still)

@lyxal No I mean executeFn just calls that other function and only extracts the top of the stack from that

And that executeFnAndGetCtx helper would do what executeFn does but also return that inner context so people can do whatever they want with it

lyxal

Sounds like that good work

*could

user

It good work, yes, thank you

You do good work on that PR too

I was going to apply those last 2 suggestions in a batch together lol

lyxal

Too bad I pressed the funny button individually as they came through as notifications :p

user

22:49

We shall follow this PR with great interest :P
