@AlexA. You can post SoundCloud song links in posts and they render

Alex A.

Right.

Doesn't mean that we're affiliated with them though.

It just means we support SoundCloud links.

Just like SE is unaffiliated with xkcd but we onebox xkcd in chat.

Optimizer

oh, we are affiliated with XKCD, IMGUR, WikiPedia etc too?

Calvin's Hobbies

Well whatever, is there a meta post explaining about it?

Q: Could we get the audio embedding feature for PPCG?

Music and AVP and Signal Processing can embed audio files via the SoundCloud player. Since the feature already exists, it would only need to be activated for PPCG, and judging by Signal Processing the devs will actually do so if there's some support in the community for it. Why I think this woul...

Calvin's Hobbies

Right, thanks

phase

6:10 PM

When your code works locally but fails on deploy

Can anyone test out o-lang.herokuapp.com for me? Just type in 1o1o1o or something

Optimizer

thank god not another localhost link

phase

It works on localhost, but not on heroku

Optimizer

you are missing the argument event in your keydown handler

did you check console?

phase

uhhh what?

I'm not getting that error anywhere

Optimizer

f12

type something

@phase 500: Internal Server Error

Hello

Alex A.

Hi

phase

@AlexA. The heroku logs aren't showing any errors :\

Alex A.

Error 300: This is Sparta

6:16 PM

phase

@AlexA. yeah I'm getting that too

Alex A.

Btw I'm liking how the new web editor looks

sweerpotato

err

Does anybody know how adding stuff in Python works?

Alex A.

Use +

phase

@AlexA. wut yyyy

Optimizer

6:17 PM

safari's web editor?

sweerpotato

oh ty

.. :~)!

x += 1

is it actually adding the ascii value of 1?

Alex A.

No

Optimizer

@sweerpotato does JQuery come for Python? if yes, use a JQuery plugin.

sweerpotato

parse python with regex

Alex A.

@Optimizer No, phase's O editor

@phase Y? Because I think the theme looks nice?

sweerpotato

6:22 PM

oh lol, I goofed again

Alex A.

@sweerpotato I was wrong. If x is a string, x += 1 will fail with a TypeError.

sweerpotato

I'm creating a matrix totally wrong for some reason..

matrix = [[char for char in line] for line in lines]

Alex A.

I read that as "I'm creating a matrix for totally the wrong reason." o_O

sweerpotato

thought it would be matrix[x][y], but apparently is matrix[y][x](??)

:D

Alex A.

Technically you aren't constructing a matrix like that

You're just making a list of lists

sweerpotato

6:24 PM

..I'm not?

err

I just wanted something I could access by [x][y]

Second time coding in python <__<

Total scrub

Alex A.

I haven't touched Python in quite a while so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

If you're constructing lists like that, the first index should be the inner list, right? Then the second would be the element in that list?

phase

@AlexA. oh I thought it said not liking how the new web editor looks

Alex A.

No

It's nice

phase

fenks <3

sweerpotato

Yeah correct @AlexA.

I need to think this through

Alex A.

6:28 PM

It's not clear what you mean by y and x

sweerpotato

Coordinates in the "matrix"

Alex A.

Right

sweerpotato

I'll just flip them and everything will be alright..

#realworldsolutions

phase

@sweerpotato I'd just quit now and do it in D

Alex A.

But a list of lists won't really have a matrix structure

sweerpotato

6:29 PM

It's more of a coordinate system sort of

Making my first language :X

Alex A.

Each inner list can be a different length

If this is only your second time using Python, why have you chosen Python as the implementation language?

Calvin's Hobbies

Whats that word for something that is just barely up to snuff?

e.g. " I work ___ at my job just enough so I don't get fired."

Alex A.

Hm. I actually can't think of a single word that I would use there. I'd probably use a phrase.

sweerpotato

6:31 PM

@AlexA. didn't understand UTF-8 in C++, but Python was pretty straight forward

Alex A.

UTF-8 in C++ is a huge, huge mess.

phase

@sweerpotato UTF in Java is easy

sweerpotato

Yes, it's completely horrible

Calvin's Hobbies

Rule skirting works actually

sweerpotato

I worked with Java, horrible language

Alex A.

6:32 PM

The Unicode Consortium (or whatever they call themselves) has a C++ template library for working with Unicode strings but I think it's a beast of a library.

sweerpotato

C++11 has UTF-8.. but it was still completely horrible parsing UTF-8

Alex A.

There are small, lightweight UTF-8 libraries people have made but I think they aren't entirely straightforward to use.

sweerpotato

you could do std::string str = u8"±"

Alex A.

@sweerpotato Right. It supports UTF-8 encoded strings, but trying to deal with them sucks.

sweerpotato

yeah

I tried comparing..

and pointers and crap

buffers

eeeuuhhhh

First version of my language works!

Alex A.

6:34 PM

Nice! In Python?

sweerpotato

yeah

Alex A.

Congrats. :)

sweerpotato

Thanks :~)!

Just need to upload this somewhere, github preferably

phase

all teh things on le github

Alex A.

^

sweerpotato

6:37 PM

Alright, time to learn git

I used git once and ruined 6 hours of work

switched to SVN

Alex A.

:/

git add -A
git commit
git push origin master

sweerpotato

git push pull merge commit /
"You need to merge before pulling"
git merge
"Merged with old version"

sort of

Alex A.

Make sure your local branch is up to date with master

before committing

phase

`git add -A` will stage all your work to be committed.
`git commit -m "Message"` will create a commit with that message.
`git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo` stores a remote repository in the local git project.
`git push origin master` pushes to that remote on the branch called _master_.

undergroundmonorail

it's weird to me that git commit is so easy to undo

with a name like commit you'd think it'd be a commitment

git push takes some effort to take back

Optimizer

6:41 PM

@undergroundmonorail commitments are also very easy to undo

screw up*

@undergroundmonorail git push cannot be taken back. literally.

phase

@undergroundmonorail remove commits and git push -f

Optimizer

@phase that will not remove commits from github, will it?

phase

@Optimizer As long as you remove the commits locally, it will remove them from wherever you push to

Alex A.

@sweerpotato GitHub has a free, cross-platform desktop GUI you can use.

sweerpotato

Yeah, I have the GUI actually

Need to figure this out :D

phase

6:44 PM

Need to figure out why I keep getting THIS 500 ERROR FOR NO REASON

sweerpotato

already goofed

It moved all my previous checked out projects into my new repo

goddamnit git

Q: Is there a place I can place my so-close-but-not-quite answer?

I'm asking in general, but in my specific case I was working on an answer for Programming a Pristine World and got $><<"%c"*5%%w(w o r l d). The fatal flaw here is that #<< accepts an array, so if "%c"*5% is removed, $><<%w(w o r l d) is a valid program. I'd still like to post this for two reason...
