When I import pylab while using the Python REPL, keyboard input becomes extremely laggy.

What would be a good site to ask about a solution for this?

There should be a Stack Exchange where you ask what Stack Exchange your question is appropriate for.

@feersum There's a [site-recommendation] tag on Meta.SE but I'm not sure what it's actually for.

Probably any pair of English words is a tag on Meta.SE.

@Cyoce The point of DVCS is that you don't need to be connected to the server all the time to work and make commits.

Cyoce

Well, back to plan A

@feersum I have to pull my work from github that I pushed from another computer

feersum

Can't you work on some other bit of the language?

quartata

@AlexA. That's actually what you're supposed to use that tag for

Alex A.

12:39 AM

That's what I thought

quartata

Difficult to guess from the name I know

Alex A.

I couldn't remember if it was that one or [site-proposal] that had been deprecated in favor of Area 51.

quartata

Be careful that you don't just phrase it as "gimme dah se site pls" or else it'll get a lot of downvotes.

Actually strike that, I think any site-recommendation question gets downvotes. But you'll get an answer if you don't phrase it like that

Q: A New Code-Golfing Language

For some of those in The 2nd Monitor, you know that I was creating a new golfing language. For one or two (@Quill), you have heard from me how tough it is. A-Ray (that's what it's called) is a function-based programming language (if that's what you call it). A sample program looks something like...

java interpreter

we've got our hooks into the code reviewers

mwahaha

It's interesting how this post is on-topic on Code Review, but off-topic on PPCG =P

feersum

12:57 AM

@quartata Look how long that is.. I think it may be a trap!

Alex A.

@Roujo He's looking for a review of his code, which is just what Code Review is for.

Cyoce

arrow is so good

Roujo

@AlexA. Yup, exactly. I'm just remarking that while PPCG's audience would probably be a good one for his esolang, it's ironically not a good place to post it =P

phase

stackoverflow.com/a/31590740/4468905 has a typo in the first codeblock but I can't edit it because edits need to be 6 characters or more

Alex A.

@Roujo :P

Roujo

1:00 AM

Not that it's a bad thing, mind you - I've seen some meta posts about why discussion and esolang dev isn't really PPCG's target

@Calvin'sHobbies You pinged me from within Minecraft because of Chat Relay. O_O

quartata

1:21 AM

@AlexA. You didn't know that could happen?

Alex A.

I hadn't thought about it

quartata

It's kind of a feature :P

Alex A.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cyoce

I shall make a language in which all valid brainfuck instructions are ignored. Then I can make polyglots for anything.

quartata

@Cyoce So like the opposite of GolfScript?

Alex A.

1:29 AM

BowlScript

Ampora

I shall make a language that hooks up to your brain and uses your brain as a built-in for anything you want it to do, in 0 bytes.

Results may vary depending on the programmer

Doorknob

Is... Is GitHub down?

Alex linked a GitHub thing and I can't see it

It's time for your language to be judged.

@TheCoffeeCup give us some example programs for your language so we can see how golfy it really is

TheCoffeeCup

@Cyoce It's not golfy. It's just a start.

Here's one

Cyoce

@TheCoffeeCup you beat pyth. not bad

TheCoffeeCup

@Cyoce Only lucky the language had that :

Alex A.

@TheCoffeeCup Hello!

We're objectively better than Code Review

It seems you're beginning to realize this

This is good

But we have objective winning criteria

Cyoce

@TheCoffeeCup I'd see If I could make a shorter one in my language, but GitHub is down :(

Quill

@AlexA. well, one of us have graduated, and one of us have all positive site stats

I'll be curious to see what PPCG swag looks like

you know they'll probably give you guys a golf ball

Alex A.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can deal

quartata

1:42 AM

@TheCoffeeCup you should add implicit output

Doorknob

@Cyoce so? Can you not just do it locally?

TheCoffeeCup

@quartata I was thinking about that...

Cyoce

@Doorknob I only have a local version on my other computer :(

Alex A.

I hope some day we'll remove "Programming Puzzles &" from our name, given that not a single one posted in 2015 remained open and there are only 16 currently open.

"Hey kids, want some programming puzzles?" "Yeah!" "TOO FUCKING BAD"

quartata

The final result of a function should be printed, say. It is a fairly common golfing language feature

He just githubbed all over the place

Cyoce

1:55 AM

The algorithm has a way of representing the pronunciation (phonemes) of word. You then try to infer from that pronunciation what the original word is (hence "lossy")

ETHproductions

I guess I'm stuck hanging around here for now

quartata

believe me people have thought of this. the end result is called soundex

Cyoce

a lowercase letter is pronounced normally, but an uppercase letter has it's name pronounced. (i.e. N -> "en")

It looks completely idiotic

The hello world program:

quartata

but think of all the words that are spelled differently and sound the same

Cyoce

hence "lossy"
