@MartinBüttner it depends on the code block. Since if-statements, while-loops, etc. require a code block, there's no need to have a code block to start a character.

Helicoprion

Helicoprion is a long-lived genus of extinct, shark-like eugeneodontid holocephalid fish. Almost all fossil specimens are of spirally arranged clusters of the individuals' teeth, called "tooth whorls." Helicoprion first arose in the oceans of the early Permian 290 million years ago, survived the Permian–Triassic extinction event, and eventually became extinct during the Early Triassic, 250 million years ago. The closest living relatives of Helicoprion (and other eugeneodontids) are the chimaeras. == Palaeobiology == === Nature of the tooth-whorl === Up until 2013, the only known fossils...

Geobits

@Cyoce Use space. Assuming this is for a golfing language, I assume there aren't many spaces separating other things.

Cyoce

@Geobits thank you. that actually works really well. I hadn't considered using spaces as commands, but they have no other practical purpose.

PHP and Perl are also pretty "popular"

Dennis

8:09 PM

Perl wouldn't have such a bad name if it wasn't for code golf. PHP is, objectively, crap.

Geobits

Doesn't Delphi speak only in tongues, though?

VoteToClose

Ugh, gotta download python 3.

Sherlock9

Not to fall into the "standards" trap as mentioned by xkcd, but should we make a language for Web browsers that's better than Javascript?

Dennis

sigh I need to learn Python...

Geobits

8:10 PM

@Sherlock9 That's probably not hard (in general). The hard part is getting the browsers to support it.

Because, ya know, standards.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Which is impossible, as evidenced even by an update to an existing one...

El'endia Starman

Okay, thoughts and ideas requested: let's say I implement a \track() command that "watches" a sequence and does something when something happens. As a specific example, let's say I have a sequence that is the number of factors of natural numbers, and whenever there's a new maximum, I want to print the corresponding number. How should this be written? What would be clear notation?

trichoplax

Let's design a perfectly consistent and intuitive web language that is also backward compatible with JS

Sherlock9

Adoption would be a massive pain in the neck. Could we just push for an existing alternative?

mınxomaτ

@Sherlock9 Any language that has an interpreter written in std C can be run in a browser on ASM.js. I did this a while ago for lisp.

Geobits

8:12 PM

If even Google can't push a new standard, it would be pretty hard for us...

I mean, who honestly uses Dart here?

El'endia Starman

Sherlock9

To further prove your point, what's Dart?

VoteToClose

@Dennis Problem - can't install Python 3. I can't install sympy on my other computer, so I simply can't run this. xD You may assume that it works.

@mınxomaτ wtaf How do they compress that into 1.8 KiB?

Martin Büttner

8:22 PM

@trichoplax everything's just a matter of finding the right motivation.

mınxomaτ

@Dennis That's a symbolic link to the online webm.

El'endia Starman

@Dennis Uses the same sort of technique as mp4s.

Encode only what changes from the previous frame.

trichoplax

@MartinBüttner I could do with some of that...

mınxomaτ

@El'endiaStarman Nah. i.imgur.com/9zf78WZ.webm is the original file, but imgur prevents the hotlink.

El'endia Starman

@Dennis 18.5 seconds for me.

@mınxomaτ That's how gifvs work internally.

Pretty much any modern movie-type format uses that technique of encoding only what changes.

Dennis

8:25 PM

@mınxomaτ Ah, OK. That's indeed just a gzip'd HTML site.

mınxomaτ

@El'endiaStarman That gifv is still not the actual file, it requests the resource. The actual file is still bigger than this.

Dennis

The actual "gif" is 1.7 MiB big, which is still impressive.

El'endia Starman

Ah right, misread "1.8 KiB" as "1.8 MiB". :P

Sherlock9

I just watched Tom Scott explain this yesterday on Computerphile. Inter-frame [forgotten term here] for better compression

El'endia Starman

Interpolation?

mınxomaτ

8:27 PM

@Dennis That's why most content hosters autoconvert any GIF's to webms. It loads faster and everything supports it. GIF's should just die already, those bandwidth suckers.

aditsu

@Sherlock9 they're working on it (webassembly)

El'endia Starman

I'll be working on a gif-generating script today. :P (Well, at least, that's the plan.)

Dennis

@mınxomaτ So should Flash, but here we are.

mınxomaτ

@Dennis Flash is largely deprecated. I can't think of a service that I use that requires flash (and also recently, the last service that I needed Silverlight for finally switched).

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Q: Add support for .gifv format in chat onebox

Recently Imgur announced to drop the legacy GIF format with the new GIFV format. Why GIFV? It's lightweight Being a video format, it also allows more flexibility like not autoplaying or autoloading by default which .gif just disrespects. Oh, and you can pause it too. It supports streaming and ...

trichoplax

Might make it more realistic to get answers to this

@mınxomaτ Sounds good - I've upvoted

Sherlock9

@aditsu Thanks for the info

El'endia Starman

@aditsu That sounds exciting. The last thing mentioned was the first thing I thought of: having an assembly-like language for web browsers paves the way for a new forest of web programming languages.

mınxomaτ

Even though I think GIFV is very specific to imgur's service. IMO support for just webm's is completely sufficient.

@El'endiaStarman Thanks. I just downloaded a GIF from one of my answers and it is 1.86MB so I guess not going through Imgur's main site means it misses out on the compression

@Calvin'sHobbies Stack Overflow also deals with code and they don't have brackets at all. Idk, I just think brackets in general don't feel unique because they've been used on another site.

What ever happened to zero–one–infinity?

It can’t even be a protocol limitation or whatever, ’cause 0–256 inclusive means 257 different values. Guess it’s a strange joke
