The Nineteenth Byte

I tried to write something which was about a set growing up into a group and finally into a field. I gave up pretty quickly though - bad writer here :/

El'endia Starman

lol, that sounds like a fun idea though :P

NaNoWriMo is more about just writing than it is writing well.

Do you have an idea yet? Or just going to pen whatever comes to mind?

El'endia Starman

I'll be (hopefully!) finishing my novel that I've been writing on-and-off for about 8 years now.

That's the last chapter, and most chapters are about 3-4 pages.

Technically there's a valid 13 using a for loop, but I'm revamping loops atm since I didn't like the previous move-down-on-completion thing

(it's basically Minko's)

Does me copying you copying me copying you count as copying? :P

How am I copying you? :P

(can't tell if serious question or not :P)

El'endia Starman

8:59 AM

I'm being totally serious, actually.

I came up with my idea of loops on my own.

Sp3000

I mean, for the challenge :P

El'endia Starman

I don't think I was even aware of Gol><> before I started developing Minkolang. Or if I was, I paid no attention.

Ahhh, lolz.

Then, uh, it's complicated.

Sp3000

Nah I don't mean the language, I wouldn't accuse of anything for that

El'endia Starman

okay :)

Oh noooow I get why you were confused

You know how when you reread stuff and realise it makes sense in a different context? Yeah that.

El'endia Starman

9:20 AM

ahh, hehe

This calculates the square root.

Exactly how, I leave as a puzzle. :P

Sp3000

Is $M new?

El'endia Starman

Yes.

M is the Math category.

Includes stuff like factorial, nth prime, that sort of thing.

$M just toggles what it does.

It pops off the top of stack to decide what to do.

Sp3000

Oh... it's 8$M, not $M, right.

El'endia Starman

yep

So 8$M is the mystery function. It's not square root though, that's 1M. :P

(If I was actually golfing a square root function, I'd do it like this: n1MN..)

Sp3000

I'd imagine some sort of base convert, but I dunno

El'endia Starman

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Multiply with restricted operations (again!) (also add) This question is pretty much in its infancy, the reason I am posting it so early (as opposed to developing it fully first) is that I want feedback before I spend all the time finishing the interpreter. If at a glance, this challenge seems ...

El'endia Starman

Try it with small values in the input and see what the stack looks like before it gets gobbled by 8$M.

Sp3000

Is space not a no-op in Minko?

El'endia Starman

nope

Use # for that.

That's definitely one major difference between Minko and other 2D+ languages...

T'was fun talking with you, Sp3000. :)

Sp3000

(I think you're beating me at implementing libraries :P)

El'endia Starman

We'll have to talk later about how we're implementing our commands because the way I did it makes it really easy to add commands.

(Not so easy in cases of control flow. Those are a bit harder.)

I have something similar to your $M for now, except I've only done it for trig

flawr

I hope I do not annoy everoyne with my github questions: How do you guys use git? Console? GUI?

Sp3000

Pyth does something similar - I'd like a better way, but I dunno how atm...

@flawr The GUI, mainly

El'endia Starman

@flawr console

(I'm almost tempted to make them into 3 char commands just for readability, but 2 char commands in a 2D language is already pretty weird)

@Sp3000 May I ask you for some help regarding git/hub?

Sp3000

Err sure? Not sure if I can help much (hint: I don't know anything about edit conflicts :P)

flawr

Much simpler than that=)

I just created a new repository (via gui), it is a folder with some files in it from an old project.

Now I think I have to add those files, but how can I do that via gui?

Sp3000

If you've made a ~~project~~ repo there, I think it just shows up?

flawr

On the left side theres a list of repos, and there it is, I can click on it, but I cannot find a way to add those files

Oh, there is a list of 'changes' where all those files are.

Sp3000

It should show up in the middle part where all the file changes are displayed

flawr

10:16 AM

But I am not sure if they are already added. There is a checkbox for each file and if I check one or more i can 'commit' them.

So it seems they are allreay 'added'?

Sp3000

If it shows up, I think it auto adds? Give it a try :)

flawr

Hm, now it is stuck loading...

Sp3000

:/

flawr

The repository has been created online, but no files show up, gui still loading. Let's see if I can do this via command line.

Sp3000

Done an initial commit and sync yet?

flawr

10:24 AM

I tried, but that is where it seemed to get stuck with this loading sign.

Ah yeah, you said in the middle so I assumed middle :P

Oh, sorry.

For the counting +1 primes one, my array was an array of numbers

So I wanted to replace one of the numbers with 11, etc

That didn't work tho

But I have another idea!

Numbers are a bit better than strings I think

Since the thing is binary, add 10 to the solution

Add that to the array

Use `e`

Sigh. With the possible exception of the Haskell one, I don't think any of the answers to codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/63183/194 would survive OP replying "No" to my comment, and yet "No" should be the default answer to "Can we assume that we're only dealing with nice cases?"

Sp3000

Given the description "where n is the pool taken from and r is the number of selections from that pool" I'd guess yes, but it'd definitely be good for the OP to clarify either way

It seems to be missing some change listeners on the text fields. After typing in my approximate lat and long I had to click a button to get it to update.

@PeterTaylor Yes, I used to do everything via buttons.

That is an old project of mine, it really isn't that great, and the code is the worst. I have had no idea what I am doing=)
