Downgoat

@Quill 1. ಠ_ಠ 2. did your spacebar break?

3

Aqua Tart

@AlexA. Yeah but I'm not very good at it

Never have been

Alex A.

@AquaTart I made a Vim plugin

I'm also not good at it

Aqua Tart

ooh

Downgoat

12:34 AM

@AlexA. how do I install it if I don't have a vimrc?

Aqua Tart

@Downgoat Create a vimrc

Alex A.

@Downgoat Why don't you have a vimrc?

Get a vimrc and a plugin manager

Aqua Tart

Actually I'm sure you have a vimrc

Because without one vim starts in compatibility mode

i.e it acts identical to vi

Downgoat

Vihans-MacBook:Gogh vihan$ ls -a ~

I don't see any vimrc

~~nevermind~~ still don't see anything

Aqua Tart

How on earth

Alex A.

12:36 AM

.vim should be a directory

and wtf is .viminfo?

Aqua Tart

Oh right Macs

@AlexA. store command history and stuff

Alex A.

o

Downgoat

@AlexA. what's in there?

Aqua Tart

...wow. I feel sorry for you, you poor goat.

You've been running vim in tiny baby mode this whole time

Alex A.

@Downgoat cd .vim && ls

Aqua Tart

12:36 AM

Do touch ~/.vimrc

Alex A.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Downgoat

ninja'd :(

@AquaTart how do I make it grow up?

Aqua Tart

@Downgoat Create a .vimrc

It can be empty for now

Downgoat

ok

Alex A.

@NinjaBearMonkey Scale of 1 to 10, how annoyed would you be if every time someone said "ninja'd," they said "@Ninja'd"?

i.e. you'd get pinged every time

Downgoat

12:38 AM

> and submit :source % then :PlugInstall

how do I submit?

Alex A.

You need VimPlug first

Downgoat

I installed it

Alex A.

Did you put the stuff in your vimrc?

Downgoat

it just has: Plug 'ararslan/license-to-vim'

Alex A.

You also need call plug#begin('<path to your plugins>') and call plug#end()

NinjaBearMonkey

12:40 AM

@AlexA. I would be forced to become Keen On Binary Jam

Alex A.

@NinjaBearMonkey Um, what?

Downgoat

@AlexA. uh, wat.

NinjaBearMonkey

Mar 2 at 3:23, by Set Big O

@NinjaBearMonkey You should change your name to Keen On Binary Jam instead.

Alex A.

Oh right, the anagram usernames

Quill

that's still a thing?

classy

Downgoat

12:41 AM

still not wokring...

Alex A.

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'ararslan/license-to-vim'
call plug#end()

Put that at the top of your .vimrc

Downgoat

ok, now everything is colored...

Alex A.

With Vim open in normal mode, do :source % and press enter

Downgoat

what is "normal" mode? are there abnormal modes?

Alex A.

Then do :PlugInstall and press enter

@Downgoat Normal mode is what happens when you press escape. Insert mode is when you can type stuff into the file.

Downgoat

12:43 AM

> :source %
< E499: Empty file name for '%' or '#', only works with ":p:h"

Alex A.

Oh, do :w first

Gotta save that shit, son

Quill

@Downgoat how do you do those shadowed screenshots?

Downgoat

@Quill shift+cmd+4, then click spacebar

Alex A.

It has to be the active window, right?

Quill

:D

Downgoat

12:45 AM

@AlexA. what does?

Alex A.

Nvm don't worry about it

Oooh nifty :D

Downgoat

woah

Alex A.

This is the top of my .vimrc (technically init.vim because I use NeoVim rather than Vim)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Could someone be very nice and review my email to Desmos parterships? Are there any problems with it? ^_^"

Downgoat

NeoVim?

Alex A.

12:47 AM

@Downgoat neovim.io It's a slightly different/updated version of Vim.

brew install neovim/neovim/neovim if you want it

Downgoat

already installing...

> ==> Pouring cmake-3.4.3.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz

for a second I thought that said cake and I got happy

Alex A.

I have a bunch of plugins and crap in mine so it won't look anything like mine when you open it

Just FYI

It'll probably look nearly if not entirely identical to regular Vim when you open it

Downgoat

D:

Alex A.

Is that bad?

Downgoat

I don't use vim often anyway so not really

Alex A.

12:50 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ "on a golfing website" doesn't sound like code golf

Sounds like PGA

Quill

Does anyone here actually play the sport of Golf?

Alex A.

Why would we? Regular golf requires going outside.

Downgoat

perhaps say "on a site with lots of avocado enthusiasts"

^^

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. Ah, thanks/

Alex A.

I'd say "on a website for code golf, a competition where you solve a programming challenge with the shortest possible code."

Quill

12:52 AM

@AlexA. well, that makes me glad I'm not the only one without a life

Alex A.

Or something like that

@Quill You're One of Us™

Downgoat

@AlexA. no, he's a code reviewer.

Alex A.

He's slowly being weened off of heresy and into the light

Quill

@AlexA. nice.

Downgoat

true

is ==> make VERBOSE=1 supposed to take a very long time to run?

Alex A.

12:56 AM

Yes. Building NeoVim from source made my fan sound like my computer was going to launch into space.

Downgoat

haha, my computer is always on full fpan seed but it hasn't launched into space yet...

Span feed?

yes, span feed ._.

What does that mean?

span feed = fan speed

Aqua Tart

1:02 AM

@Downgoat ewwwww homebrew

Downgoat

@AquaTart ?

Aqua Tart

I've always hated Homebrew.

Downgoat

why?

Aqua Tart

I don't like any of those package managers that build from source like that.

Downgoat

hoe else is it supposed to download?

Aqua Tart

1:05 AM

Uh, a binary?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

> hoe else

ermwat

Quill

I prefer mail. email install bluebird and then they send you a floppy disk in the mail

Downgoat

@AquaTart but that might not work on some systems or something

@Quill you still use floppy disks?

Quill

A USB that looks like a floppy disk would be awesome

Downgoat

Aqua Tart

1:07 AM

@Downgoat In my experience binary packages throw infinitely less errors than packages that build from source

Also I like(d) MacPorts better anyways

Downgoat

mcports?

Aqua Tart

Another package manager

Quill

@Downgoat Virtual burger

Downgoat

sounds tasty

Aqua Tart

mmmm

Downgoat

1:09 AM

@AquaTart wow, they are as many package managers as JavaScript golfing languages o_o

Alex A.

Yes

Probably more

Aqua Tart

@Downgoat Fink MacPorts and Homebrew are the only OS X ones I know of

Fink is good too

Downgoat

@AquaTart Fyes, they are 3 javascript glfing langues

Alex A.

Homebrew is best

Found in a menu

wtf

@DonMuesli >:∩

@DonMuesli <:C

@AlexA. Spinach?

@AquaTart I don't know. It's a soup. Do people put spinach in soup?

Downgoat

@AlexA. people put everything in soup

Alex A.

1:17 AM

And what is "egg tofu"?

Downgoat

Tofu

Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. It is a component in East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines. There are many different varieties of tofu, including fresh tofu and tofu that has been processed in some way. Tofu is bought or made to be soft, firm, or extra firm. Tofu has a subtle flavor and can be used in savory and sweet dishes. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish. Tofu originated in Han dynasty China some 2,000 years ago. Chinese legend ascribes its invention to prince Liu An (179...

Aqua Tart

He's a vegan, he obviously knows what tofu is

Alex A.

haha

Aqua Tart

Why would you put eggs in tou is the question

Alex A.

No wtf this is first time what is tofu

Downgoat

1:18 AM

@AquaTart no, when you click on it. it goes to egg tofu

Aqua Tart

@Downgoat Oh, stupid onebox

Well whatever it is it has eggs in it

Alex A.

Oh, interesting.

Aqua Tart

So don't eat that @AlexA.

Alex A.

Haha okay

Don Muesli

If anyone's interested, I've made changes to quite a few functions in MATL. New release, 15.0.0

@Dennis Please pull MATL whenever you can

Downgoat

1:26 AM

it's only time before MATL and Jelly also gain a built-in for determining the direction a goat faces...

Don Muesli

@Downgoat I'm more of a cats guy. But I'll consider that

Downgoat

I installed neovim how do I run it?

Alex A.

nvim

Downgoat

cool

A Nerd - I

I just helped develop a programming language, which is to say I copied in a code page to a document where functions will be assigned to the characters. But that's a start, right? :P

Zach Gates

1:29 AM

@ANerd-I What language?

A Nerd - I

@ZachGates Same one. Arcturus.

Alex A.

@Downgoat Note that NeoVim doesn't use ~/.vimrc; it uses ~/.config/nvim/init.vim. If you want them to be the same, you can create a link with ln.

A: Golf you a quine for great good!

DUP, 51 bytes 0"0.[34,0[$;$][,1+]#]$!%%!"0.[34,0[$;$][,1+]#]$!%%! Try it here. Well, DUP quines are possible, just really, really, long. I'll have to golf some more.

Downgoat

@AlexA. oh okay

Mama Fun Roll

I did it. I quined in DUP!

Alex A.

1:31 AM

@Downgoat So you could do cd ~/.config/nvim/ && ln -s ~/.vimrc init.vim

I think that would work

Downgoat

-bash: cd: /Users/vihan/.config/nvim/: No such file or directory

D:

Alex A.

Do you have a .config?

Downgoat

I don't know

yes, I do

Mama Fun Roll

Alrighty, molarmanful.github.io/bitman is now stable! Go try it out!

Alex A.

@Downgoat Okay, cd ~/.config && mkdir nvim && cd nvim && ln -s ~/.vimrc init.vim

Downgoat

1:34 AM

there's no nvim folder in .config though

Dennis

@DonMuesli Pulled.

Don Muesli

Oh I just realized that the avatar of New Sandbox Posts is a sandbox :-)

PhiNotPi's masterpiece

Don Muesli

I intend to maybe post it tomorrow, if that's ok. Unless you see some problems with it

@Doorknob The sandbox? LOL

Doorknob

@DonMuesli Yeah. He made the avatars for all the other feeds too.

Don Muesli

2:00 AM

Yes, they are definitely the same style. Reminds me of ZX Spectrum graphics

PhiNotPi

@DonMuesli It's because I drew them in MS Paint.

I want to transform a string of characters into data, such as 1234 213 "asdf" 9 2 3 "asdf\"4" => [1234, 213, "asdf", 9, 2, 3, "asdf\"4"]. Can someone help me out? My brain isn't working.

@PhiNotPi :-D Most of my PPCG answers are written or edited in notepad

Wait... what? That's... what I put!

Dennis

Please don't do it in Rust?

Doorknob

:(

Have you had problems installing it before?

Dennis

2:32 AM

It's just that the error message reminds me of the headache I'm currently having with Julia.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

bai guys

Doorknob

@Dennis haha, no, it's actually just because I temporarily forgot how to use Rust

Dennis

But I never knew how.

:P

Doorknob

Rust programs are really easy to use. git clone foo && cd foo && cargo run

Dennis

cargo pants

Doorknob

2:37 AM

If you really want, I could probably try creating an openSUSE VM to compile and send you a binary. :P

Dennis

TIO uses Ubuntu.

Doorknob

Oh, right

PhiNotPi

TODO: make a language so I can have something of mine put on TIO

Alex A.

@PhiNotPi Element!

Doorknob

Element?

ninja'd

PhiNotPi

2:40 AM

Well, there's that.

I figured nobody had any interest in it.

Alex A.

Phi's Golfo Supreme

PhiNotPi

What's necessary for a language to be put on TIO?

Alex A.

@Doorknob I have an Ubuntu VM. I can clone your thing, compile it, and send it to Dr. Dennis.

@PhiNotPi Works? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doorknob

My laptop triple-boots Windows, Ubuntu, and Debian. It would be more convenient to not have to reboot every time I update the language though :P

Downgoat

how do I turn on syntax highlighting in vim? I tried :syntax on but that doesn't work :(

Doorknob

2:43 AM

@Downgoat Recommendation: github.com/tpope/vim-sensible

PhiNotPi

As in, I was wondering if there's special requirements about how the interpreter works.

Doorknob

(At least until you're comfortable enough with vim to make your own vimrc)

Downgoat

I have my own vimrc

Alex A.

@Downgoat In your vimrc, do syntax on

Downgoat

does vim have a shortcut to go to the end of the file?

Alex A.

2:45 AM

G

Downgoat

@AlexA. :D that worked \o/

@AlexA. that goes to the last line

Alex A.

Oh, then id

Doorknob

wait

end of the file?

Alex A.

Cash monday

G$

Doorknob

why do you want to go to the end of the file? >_>

Downgoat

2:46 AM

@AlexA. that doesn't work either

@Doorknob so I can add a new line and write some stuff?

Doorknob

o is open

Go

Downgoat

Go what?

Doorknob

press the G key, then press the o key

Downgoat

oh

Doorknob

haha

Alex A.

2:47 AM

k wasn't a recommendation, it was me finishing "idk"

Downgoat

@AlexA. oh

can I make vim turn tabs into spaces automatically?

PhiNotPi

@Dennis What are the requirements for a language to be on TIO?

Dennis

Ask.

And don't implement it in Julia.

Doorknob

@Downgoat :h 'expandtab'

github.com/KeyboardFire/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc#L53-L58

Alex A.

@Dennis :(

Downgoat

2:50 AM

huh, vim is cool

Alex A.

Yes

Downgoat

can I open a file without exiting vim?

PhiNotPi

(You are the owner, right?) I was more wondering about how the interpreters are required to do I/O.

Doorknob

@Downgoat :h :e

Downgoat

nevermind, I googlde it

Doorknob

2:51 AM

> googlde

Downgoat

how do I close the split-file thing in vim?

Doorknob

the what?

Dennis

@PhiNotPi Preferably an executable script that takes source code as argument and input from STDIN, but that's not a requirement. As long as I can get it to work somehow and it doesn't have any unsafe features, I'll add it.

Downgoat

@Doorknob there's like one file open at the top half and another on the bottom half

Doorknob

oh

C-w c

Downgoat

2:56 AM

how can I make .es6 files be syntax highlighted as JS files?

Dennis

Rename them.

Downgoat

I can't babel will get confuded sthen
