The Nineteenth Byte

That feeling when your naïve implementation for fastest-code is reasonably competitive.

El'endia Starman

I wonder how my parallelized sieve of Sundaram fares.

It'd do terrible since it's not meant for finding primes but rather factoring composites.

SE is offline.

well, done now. :P

THE END IS NIGH!

did chat just go down?!

El'endia Starman

Wait, it's still up for me.

@Doorknob yes.

SE as a whole was down for maitenence.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Re-flow a paragraph code-golf Sometimes it is very useful to reformat a paragraph so that it wraps at a given width. Your challenge is to write a program that does this in the fewest bytes possible. How re-flow works Basically you split a string at all whitespace chars (space, tab, newline), ...

Doorknob

@EasterlyIrk Yes, but typically "down for maintenance" excludes chat. Chat has near-100% uptime. (It's used internally by devs and CMs for their devvy and CMy stuff or whatever.)

@Doorknob Yes, I was so alone

キーボード is kībōdo. I can't believe there isn't a Japanese word for keyboard that isn't a loanword.

There's not one for computer (afaik), either, so it makes sense to me.

Right. So which one of those phrases do you think should replace the perfectly good loanword? ;)

@AlexA. I'd pick "I like it." if I could.

I broke something.

3:35 AM

Also, it's kinda unfair to lump all anime in like that. Some is good, some is crap, like everything else.

Alex A.

@El'endiaStarman I figured "I like it" would fall under "It's alright." Good point though, should have been in there.

@IGoBest Average over all you've seen.

Do I look like someone who cares about representative samples? (hides textbook on sampling)

Quill

yes

Doorknob

@AlexA. Very indifferent

Quill

@AlexA. you constantly try to poll us

isn't that basically sampling

Alex A.

@Quill I'm just polling your leg

El'endia Starman

Hmm. Well, I've really liked all the animes I saw...

Quill

@AlexA. I feel bad for laughing at that

Alex A.

Who claimed to be the world's biggest anime fan? Was it @Quill or @Maltysen?

@AlexA. Glad you made sure to double the L there...

Quill

@AlexA. that'd be me

Alex A.

@Quill Nice. I was never a big fan but my girlfriend likes it so I've seen a fair bit. One Punch Man and Kill la Kill are ones I like.

Maltysen

@IGoBest cough musaigen no phantom world cough

Alex A.

@Quill I read his name like "frap-frap" for a second

Now I'm reading it like a mispronounced "Phillip."

I Go Best

Why don't you just pronounce it pharap instead?

Alex A.

Because I don't know how to pronounce that.

Unfortunately, I'm not taking recommendations because I don't spend very much time watching stuff.

@Quill Thanks for the heads up.

Alex A.

@SuperJedi224 ¡Hola!

Quill

@Quill Thanks. but that would've been great to know three hours ago

SuperJedi224

I just made the ForceLang official release!

Alex A.

@Quill "starting 3 hours ago." dat verb tense tho

I Go Best

I started sleeping in a couple hours. What's wrong with that?

Alex A.

@SuperJedi224 I have no idea what that means but it sounds exciting, so congrats!

I can't decide whether if it said in 21 hours is more helpful than saying 3 hours ago

Case in point: I started keeping track of how many TED Talks I watched several months ago. I hit 50 today and probably have an additional 100-150 bookmarked. :P

I don't think anyone has been using it

I haven't for a long time, at any rate

maybe it's best to retire it?

There are some wierdnesses with the expression parser at the moment so I would suggest using compound expressions sparingly.

I did

Maltysen

yeah 184, aps are expensive

Im also taking comp sci a

SuperJedi224

I took AP compsci, physics, and calc bc.

Alex A.

@SuperJedi224 What do you do now? Are you a working professional?

I didn't take any AP classes in high school, but I got an associate's degree (2-year college degree) at the same time as my high school diploma. Maybe that counts for something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maltysen

3:51 AM

@RenderSettings well, considering you can skip almost an entire year of college if you take enough aps…

Alex A.

Does your state have Running Start or an equivalent program?

no

Alex A.

I skipped 2 years of college.

on a related note, I had my first lecture today :)

@AlexA. if you count CR reviews as lectures, maybe :p

@Maltysen This is likely one of the more/most common double-majors.

Maltysen

@AlexA. oh cool

@El'endiaStarman how do double-majors work

mınxomaτ

@El'endiaStarman My dayjob is hacking things and/or doing live-hacks(/giving general IT security talks). Knowing the law is kind of necessary.

El'endia Starman

@Maltysen You take a lot more classes. :P

Maltysen

3:57 AM

o

Alex A.

@Maltysen A major requires a set of classes. If you declare a double major, you just take all of the classes in both sets.

Liam

^

Maltysen

is that a lot of classes?

El'endia Starman

Usually, some classes are shared (especially ones like gen ed), so it's not quite a double portion.

Alex A.

You could also do a minor. A minor is just a smaller set of classes.

I majored in Applied Mathematics with a concentration (smaller than a minor) in Philosophy.

Alex A.

@Sp3000 In fact, at my alma mater, if you want a degree in math and computer science then you actually have to get a double degree because math is from the College of Arts & Sciences and CS is from the College of Computer Science and Engineering.
