They are pretty much the exact same except people switched to Gulp to confuse more people

quartata

Gotcha.

Next time I'll roll a d4 to include Broccoli and makefiles

Downgoat

Broccoli?

quartata

Another one. Apparently Ember uses it

I learned everything I know about frontend from iamdevelopr

Downgoat

So apparently in benchmark.js, the returned object with all the benchmark data has near useless stuff like standard deviation but lacks the goddamn time it took to complete the test

THAT IS MOST BASIC FUNCTIONALITY FFS

quartata

12:05 AM

Seriously, what is it with JS and useless tools?

Downgoat

nvm shit joke

Destructible Watermelon

no really I want to join to join this koth and I don't know java...

Maltysen

@quartata yeah, I really hate this one tool called javascript

(jk, js isn't that bad)

quartata

tfw you misspell an intentional typo. It's iamdevloper

Couldn't remember which e is missing

Downgoat

@quartata this feeling was me 100% of the time

Destructible Watermelon

12:15 AM

Is there a good way to import python classes for a koth like java does, or is subprocess.Popen work best?

also what should the chances of an attack succeeding be?

Oh, that gives me a good idea

what if instead of reloading, bots can "recalibrate" the weapon, so they can shoot endlessly, but the chance of hitting goes down, but can perform an action to increase the chance of hitting or something

Wait did I already make a chat room for this?

oh yeah, but nothing actually happened in it

What if I want to bring back a frozen room?

quartata

Ping a mod. They can freeze and unfreeze rooms.

Destructible Watermelon

Which is best mod to ping right now?

Conor O'Brien

probably tricho

Destructible Watermelon

kk

@trichoplax can you unfreeze a room please? chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/48054/maze-battle-koth

Also anybody interested in helping me make this koth?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I did cast a close vote, to see if you get the hat for closing or for casting the vote.

quartata

Why didn't you retract it

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@trichoplax Ummmm.... well at least most people don't know the actual meaning of "sanguine"

I do!

only in JS...

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Downgoat Huh?

Downgoat

I'm doing benchmarks for cheddar

turns out it's pretty fast

quartata

hahaha

Oops... uh not in reply to that

ATaco

Lua won't allow you to use a variable named 0d because it might be a number number 0d is never a valid number.

quartata

but the error

I'm guessing Numbers came from a bad toString

ATaco

12:46 AM

eval(tostring(n)) can never go wrong. Trust me.

Downgoat

ok. will try

quartata

@Downgoat Is it faster than CPython?

Downgoat

how fast is CPython?

only thing really slow about cheddar is bootup time

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

a lot faster than python

Downgoat

which will be fixed once I get snapshot stuffs

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ shit

trichoplax

12:48 AM

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Are you thinking of cython?

quartata

CPython is the reference implementation of Python...

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh, sorry

thinking of cython

Downgoat

oh nevermind then

ATaco

We should rename CPython Cobra

quartata

And it's slow as molasses thickened with cornstarch

Downgoat

12:48 AM

Are there python benchmarks anywhere?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

so slower than the feed bots?

Maltysen

@ATaco just curious, is there a reason why you're speaking completely in italics?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@ATaco cobra already lang

ATaco

I don't speak in completely italics.

Just mostly

quartata

@Downgoat Rewrite your test code in Python and use timeit

Maltysen

12:49 AM

oh

quartata

@Downgoat What are you using to test? Primes?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ATaco you need that taco hat man

ATaco

There's a TACO HAT?!!

Downgoat

@quartata waaaaat

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

Test branch speed, esp. branch prediction failure!

Downgoat

12:51 AM

No I just boot up cheddar and stream code to it and test how long it take to do a thing

ATaco

I seem to have been lied to about the existence of a Taco Hat

quartata

Right but what code? Timing individual statements is useless

@ATaco secret hat

ATaco

How do I acquire this Taco Hat and why don't I get one for being ATaco?

Downgoat

@quartata like how fast it take to do print 1

Maltysen

first responder this year is much harder from last years aud lang syne IIRC

quartata

12:54 AM

That is totally useless :P

Downgoat

or how fast it take to do for (var i = 0; i < 5; i += 1) { print i }

:|

Maltysen

@Downgoat mandlebrot?

that's popular for benchmarks

quartata

Or n-body.

@Downgoat Try generaring primes or something if you want an easy test. (no builtins obviously)

Downgoat

:(

quartata

Do a lot of iterations to account for noise

?

Downgoat

12:57 AM

I would like to remain in my bubble making myself think cheddar is fast

quartata

cool story bro

I'll do it myself here in a little bit

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem ikr, it's really irritating sometimes though

quartata

On the bright side you'll probably be faster than Perl 6. Used to take 8 seconds to get primes up to 1000 (vs 45 ms in regular Perl)

Downgoat

:D

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I'm really proud of this answer

quartata

1:01 AM

I thnk they improved that a while back but don't know

Downgoat

primes in perl?

quartata

@Downgoat How do I update Cheddar?

@Downgoat Perl 6. It's 45 milliseconds in regular Perl.

Downgoat

request: code to prime generate that I can convert to cheddar

quartata

I installed Cheddar via NPM if it matters

npm update doesn't seem to do anything

And I'm guessing v1.0.0-beta.52 isn't the latest

Downgoat

oh

npm update don't do anything

you gotta just reinstall

npm i -g cheddar-lang

quartata

1:13 AM

@Downgoat What's reduce again?

Conor O'Brien

@Dennis your avatar looks like a menacing shriner with a purple hat

Downgoat

.reduce

or /

quartata

You don't have factorial so I have to do it myself

Downgoat

It's quite simple I mean 1|>n/(*)

Maltysen

@quartata wilsons?

Downgoat

1:16 AM

I'm actually not sure if Cheddar can find the first 1000 prime numbers in rational amount of time

Maltysen

@DJMcMayhem whats the rules on input for vim? How do I take two inputs?

Downgoat

Though I mean it's not like you're gonna be cracking password with cheddar anyway

Maltysen

@Downgoat that's scary

Downgoat

@Maltysen :'(

quartata

@Maltysen Yes because I'm lazy

Conor O'Brien

1:17 AM

@Downgoat builtins are no longer disalowed

quartata

Syntax Error: Unexpected token at 1:0
1 | for (var i := 1; i <= 1000; i++) {

@Downgoat

Downgoat

there's no ++ it's += 1

Maltysen

@quartata trial division is actually shorter in python

Conor O'Brien

why var, why :=, no ++

Downgoat

:= is type deduction

var == let also

btw there's actually docs on this stuff: docs.cheddar.vihan.org

quartata

1:18 AM

var is required

I've got bad news: it's hanging after 23

Downgoat

haha

that's probably JS

it went to Infinity I'm guessing

Maltysen

@Downgoat e23 shouldn't be infinity?

quartata

Python completed in 20 ms minus start up time

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I. Am. Pootiscat!!!

Downgoat

wait whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

quartata

1:19 AM

My only conclusion is that CPython is infinitely faster than Cheddar

Downgoat

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ needs more !s and bold for emphasis

quartata

I'll do trial division just to level the playing field :P

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Downgoat oic

Conor O'Brien

@Maltysen e23! maybe?

DJMcMayhem

@Maltysen it varies. Generally just whatever is most convenient.

Downgoat

1:20 AM

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ :D 10/10 very emphatic

Maltysen

@ConorO'Brien no, 24! is e23

DJMcMayhem

What challenge are you working on?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

there we go

Maltysen

@quartata btw for pytohn wilson did you use math.factorial?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

1:22 AM

@VoteToClose damn

quartata

@Maltysen Yes, which I know is cheating since it's done in C

Downgoat

@ConorO'Brien lgtm

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@VoteToClose TBF that doesn't answer the question

Conor O'Brien

"looks good to me"?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

the question was "is it less than <x>"

quartata

1:23 AM

@Downgoat Does Cheddar have multiple break or something like Python's else for loops?

Maltysen

@quartata still, reduce(lambda a,b:a*b, range(1,1001),1) finished instantly

trichoplax

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Done, but still looks the same to me (a hat with no avatar)

Downgoat

crap have CS final tomorrow brb need to study

quartata

@Maltysen I know I'm increasing the range

VoteToClose

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ? No, the question asks how to test for the health of an entity.

Conor O'Brien

1:24 AM

@Downgoat naw you don't need to study just do cheese

Downgoat

@quartata break

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

> How to testfor if a mob has less than x health?

Downgoat

@ConorO'Brien true but java is weird

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

> I want it so when its health is less than x, or when it has lost a quarter of its health, something happens.

quartata

@Downgoat I know. I mean breaking out of more than one loop, or triggering code that only occurs on no break

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

1:24 AM

@VoteToClose are you sure?

Conor O'Brien

@Downgoat make java cheese

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I'm confused

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ OK. I refreshed my chat page too, and now I see the top half of your cat avatar, and all of your hat. No idea why the bottom half of the avatar is missing - it's there on your profile

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@trichoplax hm, okay

I see full avatar + hat for me

Downgoat

trichoplax

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Now I see the whole avatar

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh cool

Maltysen

@quartata a return would work?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@VoteToClose do you see what I mean/

it's actually decent to drink/eat

it's like hot chocolate but not nasty

VoteToClose

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Yes, as it shows that they are attempting to test without the use of a scoreboard, which cannot be done. Thus, they need the assistance with the tracking of the stat, they demonstrate the range checking capability.

Downgoat

ಠ____ಠ WHAT

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@VoteToClose oh true

Downgoat

maybe it's a cat thing

@DJMcMayhem can you verify this

It took Cheddar 11 seconds

Conor O'Brien

@Maltysen as per quine defaults yes

DJMcMayhem

@Downgoat Absolutely. Not as much as coffee though

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@VoteToClose yeah, it was just my name being misleading

quartata

1:28 AM

For up to 1000

Maltysen

@quartata o_O

What's this about quines?

DJMcMayhem

@Maltysen What were you doing in vim?

quartata

And 20 ms for 1000

Q: Incremental Quine

Your task is to write a program or function that outputs the first character of its source code, then the second, then the third... each time it is run. For example, if your program was foo in language bar in file baz.bar, then you should get output similar to this: λ bar baz.bar f λ bar baz.b...
