RikerW

shrugs

Doorknob

Calvin's Hobbies

Doorknob

I very much do not want to write a regex to match all letters...

Doorknob

translate en: はい、そうだよ！

(from Japanese) Yes, that's right!

Calvin's Hobbies

em-dash probably counts as a hyphen as well

Doorknob

translate en: 知らなかった

(from Japanese) I didn't know

Does anyone use そうだよ? I understood it, but it threw me for a minute because I don't ever remember hearing it said.

SuperJedi224

And now I've finally gotten it down below 13,000

RikerW

@Geobits not really. desu is casual enough

quartata

@RikerW No no no. I said Drupal is the spam magnet.

If you ever become a spammer spam Drupal

RikerW

lol

2:03 AM

@Quill we need more levels of casual

Dennis

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ /\p{L}/

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

@Dennis JavaScript doesn't support that

Calvin's Hobbies

Why did Windows decide to use two characters for line breaks?

RikerW

is this really that scary?

@Calvin'sHobbies because they're dumb and don't know how to POSIX

RikerW

:P

Dennis

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ JavaScript's regex doesn't support anything.

Use retina

@RikerW er no

@Geobits you tried

Use Perl though

@Geobits +1 solid effort

Geobits

@Doorknob :(

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

2:04 AM

@Dennis well it supports lookaheads

Dennis

But not lookbehinds.

quartata

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ I actually didn't know it supported lookaheads

Geobits

I mean, umm, I was totally endorsing retina.

Q: Interpret the Pig series

Given an input of a Pig, SickPig, DeadPig, QuinePig, or DeafPig program, choose one of those "languages" randomly and interpret the input as that "language." First, randomly choose between one of the five members of the "Pig series": Pig If the choice was Pig, mimic the reference interpreter ...

Is there a shorter way to write (-1.)**i in Python? It has to be a decimal.

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

I found a letter RegExp

but it's > 4,200 bytes

quartata

@mbomb007 I don't think so.

Doorknob

I have a shorter regex that matches all letters

mbomb007

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ I like your new image. :D

@mbomb007 In python 3 you can drop the parentheses

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

@mbomb007 :D

mbomb007

@trichoplax Won't help me, since it'd make the rest of my program much longer to use Python 3.

Dennis

@AlexA. Time to learn freehand circles in GIMP.

trichoplax

@mbomb007 I don't have Python 2 - have you tested if the parentheses are needed in Python 2?

Doorknob

2:09 AM

They are

mbomb007

Yeah, they are

trichoplax

Ah OK

mbomb007

I'm doing Leibniz and I can't get it shorter than this:

exec"print sum((-1.)**i/(2*i+1)for i in range(input()));"*input()

It approximates π/4

trichoplax

Do you have to make it a float at that point or can you use a point somewhere later to force a float?

mbomb007

@trichoplax It's required before the division, otherwise it'll do integer division

trichoplax

2:13 AM

I'm out of ideas then.

I thought of using (1,-1)[i%2] but that makes it a bit longer

Geobits

@Dennis Pfft

Doorknob

that's such a bad challenge by today's standards :P

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

Can someone come into Chatgoat's Barn and say hello?

@Doorknob bro do you even meme

@quartata this was before the split

Geobits

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ That sounds like the last words somebody ever heard.

Dennis

@quartata MSE was MSO back then.

quartata

@Doorknob Oh right I can't read dates

Could have sworn that said March 2015

trichoplax

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ Is this going to implicitly and permanently sign me up for event pings?

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

@trichoplax um... I don't think so?

trichoplax

2:18 AM

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ Wasn't being serious... :)

Geobits

Sp3000

@mbomb007 2*i-1. maybe?

Same length with parens though

btw 2*i+1 -> i-~i

Dennis

2:34 AM

Wouldn't that work just for 0 and 1?

Q: New Mobile UI: link color

Let me start by saying that I love the new Mobile UI for chat. There is one minor problem though: The colors of links and regular text are just too similar. I can barely tell them apart in this screenshot (32" monitor, max. contrast), and not at all on my phone (6", mediocre contrast). Could...
