The Nineteenth Byte

@MartinEnder @Doorknob @AlexA. I'm sorry to keep harping on, and I probably should just take a step back, but I honestly don't understand @Dennis 's reasoning and find it false. I'm in need of moderation .-.

quartata

It was at lower than +18/-9.

I believe it was +18/-11.

Dennis

No, it wasn't. I wrote it down in the other chat room when we were discussing this.

DrMcMoylex

12:15 AM

What was it at?

quartata

Still, it doesn't indicate anything. You know how downvoted the original question was -- few got to see it until it actually got locked. 20-30 people might be an OK sample size for smaller issues but not for something like this.

@DrMcMoylex +18/-9 apparently.

Dennis

@Calvin'sHobbies A meta discussion isn't an election with a clear winner. As you said yourself, the highest voted answers didn't address broadness at all. That doesn't mean it isn't an issue, just that it hasn't been addressed. Given that my answer's score was positive (with two thirds of the votes that were cast on it in favor), I'm not sure why you're still questioning my/our reasoning.

Yes, the community did not want the challenge locked (I see that now), but given that my answer only started to really get downvoted after the showcase was locked makes me think that this is although the showcase is too broad, not because it isn't. I'm also not sure why this still matters.

Nathan Merrill

locked*

Dennis

@quartata That was indeed my original intention, but I think the limit would be less harmful if it only affected the number of snippets, not their byte counts. There's still the issue that a single factoid might never get an upvote though.

@NathanMerrill Huh?

Nathan Merrill

"showcase was looked"

Dennis

12:23 AM

Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

it took me several reads to realize it was a typo, so I thought it was important to correct :P

Nathan Merrill

adding to the conversation: I agree that the challenge is too broad, but I'm really not sure if removing the 1-byte-per-answer is a good idea. Suddenly all of the work of "let me try to show the most interesting stuff in as few bytes as possible" is gone

it'd be similar to removing a code-golf tag from an existing challenge

Calvin's Hobbies

@Dennis Well, if you agree locking was wrong, you could undo the mistake and reopen. That's where the showcase should have been now - still open, yet unchanged. When the results of your current meta post are hashed out in a day or two, then you can make approprite chnges to the Showcase.

Is that not fair?

quartata

Technically it should not be closed but locked with the meta discussion reason.

I would be fine with that

what's the difference between closed-and-locked and open-and-locked?

Nathan Merrill

its been 3 days, right?

I think the community wants it to be closed and reopened roughly every 3 days.

@ais523 Spirit of the matter mostly.

Nathan Merrill

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC you've got a JSON array on file, and you don't want to read the file into memory? are you positive the array is the last thing in the file?

DrMcMoylex

I've given up. Brain-flak is not the right tool for the job.

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@NathanMerrill I'm scraping comments from reddit (machine learning corpus, complex, don't ask), and the corpus is huge. The comments are just text. I want to append it to the file and not have to load and parse the entire fire to add some new comments.

Nathan Merrill

1:07 AM

unless you can be positive about the structure of the JSON on file, its impossible

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@NathanMerrill It should be JSON arrays separated by commas.

Nathan Merrill

and you only want to append to the last one?

Dennis

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I did not issue the ban, but I do agree with it. You posted two images that maybe/are offensive to other members of the community in a short timespan.

@Calvin'sHobbies I don't agree locking was wrong, I just said I made a mistake thinking the community agreed it should be locked. The only reason we're having a productive discussion now is because it is locked, and I'm not going to jeopardize that by restoring the status quo.

@quartata Agreed, content dispute is a much better fit at this point. Done.

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Dennis I don't recognize how they were offensive.

@NathanMerrill Thanks!

1:30 AM

@Dennis out of curiosity, is it possible for me to see stuff like this? It'd be great if I could provide feedback to chat.

or is that a mod-only thing to see past flags?

Dennis

No, annotations and supension reasons (unlike suspension notices) are only visible to moderators.

Nathan Merrill

what's an annotation?

DrMcMoylex

@NathanMerrill github.com/The-Quill/PopcornSE

Dennis

@NathanMerrill Every suspension creates an annotation starting the reason and duratition of the suspension. They can also be created manually in case a moderator wants to make his peers aware of something.

@ais523 well played!

ais523

@NathanMerrill thanks

Doorknob

... I just read an article by Zed Shaw that claims that Python 3 is not Turing complete. ???

ais523

the thing about Turing completeness is, it makes various assumptions about how computers work that don't reflect reality

a programming language like brainfuck doesn't place many assumptions on how the world works, so it can be Turing complete

a practical programming language often does make (valid) assumptions about the operation of computers (e.g. that they have finite memory), which breaks Turing completeness because they're incompatible with the idealistic mathematical assumptions

PhiNotPi

@Doorknob that article was even worse than I anticipated

ais523

in practice this rarely matters much, because any program that gets disallowed by the clash in assumptions wouldn't run on your computer anyway

that said, that article looks suspect to me (I've just started reading it)

also, I greatly prefer Python 3 because it supports semicolons in some contexts, making it much better for polyglots

(I don't use it for practical use much, I'm more of a Perl person)

PhiNotPi

4:48 AM

> Currently you cannot run Python 2 inside the Python 3 virtual machine. Since I cannot, that means Python 3 is not Turing Complete and should not be used by anyone.

Nathan Merrill

@Doorknob the argument boils down to "because they haven't written the code to support Python 2, then its not turing complete"

but they haven't written the code to support Java inside Python 2, so clearly Python 2 isn't turing complete either

ais523

the argument in that article is completely wrong, though

Turing completeness doesn't mean you can run it efficiently

and I believe Python 3 is capable of opening qemu, set to a Linux image that has a working Python 2 install

(that should get around any possible "but they don't install beside each other" arguments, whether the argument is itself valid or not)

incidentally, the "2to3 is unreliable" argument is, mathematically, an argument against 2 rather than against 3

if you're having problems translating from a language, it's nearly always because the language you translate from was underspecified, rather than because the language you translate into sucks

Sp3000

Skimmed the Python article, am of Phi's first opinion. It's too fixated on random "problems" which I'm sure are less obvious/simple than are presented in the article

ais523

I actually think the Python 3 Unicodiness argument is mostly just a good argument for why dynamic typing has problems

Unicodiness bugs are very easy to write in many languages, but it's possible for a language with static typing to catch many of them at compile time

just want to make sure I've got the timezone calculations correct: may I make this cops-and-robbers answer safe?

@ais523 Comparing the timestamps on the answer and your comment, I think so. Though I've seen StackExchange timestamps that didn't seem to add up before.

yes

Calvin's Hobbies

I know that finalization may only be a day or two away by now but it's the principle of the thing.

xnor

8:30 AM

0->1, 1->2, ... , 93->94, 94->0

Angs

a linear congruential generator won't work except for \x->(x+1) mod 95

@xnor yes, but that doesn't count as pseudo-random even in my books ;)

xnor

what's the context?

does it need to be short?

you could generate a fixed one...

Angs

I'm just riffing on pseudorandom strings without importing System.Random in Haskell

There are 95 printable characters and 95=5*19 which is bad

Best I've got is this hash function: \n->31+19*mod(1+n)5+mod(1+div n 5)19 but it doesn't have a cycle of length 95

xnor

if 96 were prime, there would be nice stuff in its multiplicative field

using [1..95] instead

can you include 1 more character?

Angs

Probably, but it may have to be filtered away, since I think usually printable ascii means ['\32'..'\126']

xnor

8:40 AM

if you can get [1..p-1] with p prime, then multiplying by a fixed value modulo p should give a single cycle for most choices of the multiplier

Destructible Watermelon

8:53 AM

Wtf

Google imposter site told me i had viruses

Angs

@xnor Yeah, it's a cyclic group then

@xnor I think found some solution - skip one element: iterate(\x->mod(x*7*7^0^(abs$x-14))97)2 gives [2..96]

Angs

9:17 AM

and 127 is prime so \x->mod(7*x)127 works if [0..31] are filtered away

@Calvin'sHobbies The first meta discussion didn't get nearly as much attention when the showcase was unlocked, and I'm afraid that it might diminish again if the thread is unlocked. Not saying that it will happen, but the potential negative effects of unlocking vastly outweigh those of keeping it locked.

@Calvin'sHobbies This is exactly what content dispute locks are made for: This post has been locked while disputes about its content are being resolved. For more info visit meta. You can't require a community consensus to apply a content dispute lock; it implies that there isn't a consensus yet.

That recent post was a bit inappropriate. It's not like any lives depend on whether or not the showcase is locked. Civilized discussions take time, let's not put our high standards in jeopardy.
