The Nineteenth Byte

Internet Explorer for Mac (also referred to as Internet Explorer for Macintosh, Internet Explorer Macintosh Edition, Internet Explorer:mac or IE:mac) is a discontinued proprietary web browser developed by Microsoft for the Macintosh platform. Initial versions were developed from the same code base as Internet Explorer for Windows. Later versions diverged, particularly with the release of version 5 which included the cutting edge, fault-tolerant and highly standards-compliant Tasman layout engine. As a result of the five-year agreement between Apple and Microsoft in 1997, it was the default browser...

@TheDoctor why would anyone vote against executing @Dennis?

At conferences and shit

@Doorknob no it's a hifi amplifier

We should not execute Dennis. He might contain malicious code.

@Calvin'sHobbies Once again, you've found bugs in my interpreter. You're amazing, Calvin.

@AlexA. to be honest I don't even use Inferno :P

Alex A.

@Doorknob ...oh. Why not? You wrote it. :P

Doorknob

because it is not particularly useful

Alex A.

Haha alright then

I installed a userscript manager so that I could try Inferno. Uninstalling everything right now, about to wipe my HDD, sell my car, and sleep in a tent in my back yard.

@BrainSteel Would you mind having a look at this if/when you get some time? You mentioned you recognized an issue with how the code detects mismatched brackets.

If I'm lucky you'll offer to fix it, otherwise if you know to fix it but don't want to or have time to do so, I can do it (you just need to tell me how). Otherwise I'll just leave it.

This is what happens when I try to implement a programming language in a language I don't know.

Q: Wait, but what's e^N?

Objective: The objective is to calculate e^N for some real or imaginary N (e.g. 2, -3i, 0.7, 2.5i, but not 3+2i). This is code golf, so, shortest code (in bytes) wins. So, for example: N = 3, e^N = 20.0855392 N = -2i, e^N = -0.416146837 - 0.9092974268i The letter i shouldn't be capitalized...

If that was intended to be "smarter," that's quite ironic.

@TheDoctor Credit card: you spend money you don't have and then have to pay it back with interest

@Mego Only if you don't pay the full amount.

@TheDoctor How about Dogecoins?

Here's how to properly use credit cards: don't spend money you don't have.

Alex A.

@Mego Or in my case, you spend money you do have so that you can always pay it back and have a perfect credit score. :D

El'endia Starman

^ that too.

@Pietu1998 yes that too

@AlexA. That makes too much sense

It makes testing stuff very nice

@AlexA. I see, you need to clone pyth into the directory called pyth.

Alex A.

Oh, okay. Good to know.

isaacg

I just finished making a program that takes a Pyth program and creates its abstract syntax tree

Alex A.

1:50 AM

Does the interpreter not do that?

isaacg

Nope

It has no intermeditae representation at all

Alex A.

Pyth5 does though, right?

Pietu1998

I think there's the alternate interpreter that does that

isaacg

Yeah

But for now, there's this.

Yay for making a stack-based language, where ASTs are trivial

Sp3000

@Pietu1998 No, because it means you've never done anything in Unary, which is a good sign :)

Also for 2D languages: what's an AST? :P

Q: Simplify binary

Challenge Given a binary number as input through any means, "simplify" the number using a full program or a function. Input [binary] binary is a number in binary that is over 0. Output Take the input, convert it to base 10 without using a builtin, then if that number contains only 1s and...

Abstract syntax tree

In computer science, an abstract syntax tree (AST), or just syntax tree, is a tree representation of the abstract syntactic structure of source code written in a programming language. Each node of the tree denotes a construct occurring in the source code. The syntax is "abstract" in not representing every detail appearing in the real syntax. For instance, grouping parentheses are implicit in the tree structure, and a syntactic construct like an if-condition-then expression may be denoted by means of a single node with three branches. This distinguishes abstract syntax trees from concrete syntax...

It's more like an abstract syntax digraph for 2D langs
