@Doorknob How do you read the Babble program "ARRHELLOWORLDZEPUT" out loud?

How goes it?

5:30 PM

@Rainbolt Except mine (6 stars)

quartata

Ugh, working with the Perl API sucks. All the examples work perfectly but anything I write is segmentation fault this and segmentation fault that

zyabin101

@Doorknob I ran eSpeak on the Babble test harness and loled.

quartata

Wow, all the Perl rooms on SO are frozen. Lame

I was hoping to ask a question there

feersum

Is @quartata a chicken?

quartata

Wuh?

No.

feersum

5:40 PM

Your avatar.

zyabin101

@feersum Sleepy spiky eared Pichu.

>.< I like it.

quartata

I mean, maybe at small sizes it looks like a chicken...

TimmyD

Pokéchicken

Pikachicken?

There's a joke there somewhere

mınxomaτ

Oh no, quartata changes their avatar again. grabs pitchfork

feersum

Chikapu?

zyabin101

5:47 PM

@TimmyD Torchic?

No wait, that's a chick.

quartata

@mınxomaτ I changed it 3 days ago

zyabin101

One of its evolutions should have a chicken category...

TimmyD

I know practically nothing about Pokémon, so I can't help you.

zyabin101

Nooo wai no chicken category ;_;

5:55 PM

umm, blaziken?

@quartata Dunno, I immediately saw a pichu, but I'm not what you'd generally call "normal".

FryAmTheEggman

Note to self: fighting moves won't be super effective against Geobits.

feersum

Even in the small ones next to chat images?

zyabin101

@Geobits Uhh...

> The Blaze Pokemon

Nope, wrong category.

And no chicken category exists.

Geobits

@feersum Yea. My eyes are pokemon-trained. I dunno how else to explain it ;)

@zyabin101 Oh, that's what you mean by "category". I thought you were just looking for the naming part to be chicken-based.

zyabin101

@Geobits It was previously known as species.

Geobits

6:01 PM

Is it not still? I don't ever remember hearing it called category, tbh.

I certainly used speciesId as the variable when coding my pokedex :P

zyabin101

@Geobits It was previously known as species.

@Geobits Where is your Pokedex available?

Geobits

@zyabin101 You might be able to find it on the webs somewhere. It's called Pokedextra (it's for android). Note that I haven't done anything with it since Nintendo cease-and-desisted me, so no kalos stuff.

I don't distribute it myself any more, pursuant to some stringently worded emails >_>

TimmyD

Boo, Nintendo

Geobits

I wouldn't feel so bad about it if they'd bother taking down the other 20 of them on the play store >_<

(although that's a point of pride in a twisted way)

TimmyD

Yours is obviously so good that they felt threatened?

Geobits

6:08 PM

I choose to see it that way, whether it's true or not ;)

Martin Büttner

@Geobits A spirit visits a farmer and offers to grant him a single wish. The farmer contemplates: "Hmmm, what could I possibly want? Oh, I know! My neighbour has a really nice cow, but I could never afford one. I want his cow to drop dead."

Geobits

Sucks, too, cause the next update I was adding text-to-speech for the descriptions. My local copy has it :)

Maltysen

@Geobits in news unrelated to me googling your app, I found your google plus profile :P

Geobits

My google plus profile is a damned mess.

TimmyD

You have a Google+ profile? ... Are you a Google employee?

Helka Homba

6:11 PM

@Geobits Does yours have all 7 obligatory forms of pikachu?

zyabin101

@TimmyD Google+ is a social network.

Maltysen

@Geobits and minibit's real name

TimmyD

@zyabin101 Right. The joke is only Google employees use it.

Geobits

@TimmyD Well, I "have one" in the "I signed up to try it out and haven't posted in years" sense.

@Maltysen Oh that's no secret. I've said it in here several times.

TimmyD

zyabin101

6:12 PM

Did I FGITW it? >_>

Maltysen

@Geobits oh. well here's another picture of him, while I'm already being creepy:

Martin Büttner

*time to doxx @Geobits*... oh, you've played Super Stickman Golf, that was pretty fun :)

Geobits

You can probably find plenty if you creep over to the photos area.

FryAmTheEggman

@TimmyD It's missing: Stack Exchange - I'm a pedantic nerd who eats pastries that have toroidal geometry.

Geobits

@HelkaHomba Haha, no... just male/female and shinies for both ;)

Maltysen

6:14 PM

@QPaysTaxes now?

FryAmTheEggman

I knew someone would try to correct some part of it ;)

Geobits

Your school network is terrible.

Maltysen

^ @QPaysTaxes this?

Geobits

No, it blocks imgur too. Terrible.

Helka Homba

@Geobits better yet:

TimmyD

6:15 PM

@FryAmTheEggman I figured it would be a post debating "doughnut" versus "donut"

Geobits

@HelkaHomba eww pokemon tcg :D

Maltysen

@QPaysTaxes maybe minibits is just inherently nsfw :P

FryAmTheEggman

s/nsfw/too cool for school/

TimmyD

s/to/too

FryAmTheEggman

Shhh

Geobits

6:17 PM

I don't think there's anything of him recent on there anyway.

zyabin101

s/too cool for school/nsfc/

Maltysen

@Geobits all your japan pics are pretty interesting

also there's one of him rising a komodo dragon statue

Geobits

I took a bunch of pictures there, yea. I had a habit of just hopping on the train and getting lost for a while in some town or another.

Helka Homba

@quartata You shoulda been cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a1/DW_Snow_Pikachu.png

TimmyD

Huh. TIL

Donuts (company)

Donuts or Donuts Inc. is a start-up company that was created to apply and run new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) as made possible by ICANN's gTLD expansion program; it was co-founded by Paul Stahura, Jonathon Nevett, Richard Tindal, and Daniel Schindler. In April 2011, the company was in stealth mode and raising capital; based on the company's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Donuts raised US$1 million equity financing. Since then it has submitted 307 gTLD applications and secured an initial investment of $100 million in financing, and a subsequent round of an undisclosed...

6:20 PM

Maltysen

not that "Turkey and macaroni and cheese" is much better

Geobits

Turkey and mac and cheese are delicious.

Oh, I figured it was obvious.

Wait, you can see that picture but not the one posted earlier from the same place? Weird.

Maltysen

@QPaysTaxes maybe minibits is just inherently nsfw :P

but what about my imgur link?

oh

Geobits

Dhje never sees imgur links. It's a good way to troll dhjem.

FryAmTheEggman

sys.setrecursionlimit(1 << 30) Lol Dennis didn't mess around when I suggested increasing jelly's recursion limit...

TimmyD

6:28 PM

Well then.

That should suffice.

FryAmTheEggman

I think Pyth has a similarly silly line, but I think isaacg just mashed 0 rather than typing other characters.

quartata

@FryAmTheEggman Yeah pyth has something like sys.setrecursionlimit(99999999999999)

FryAmTheEggman

I believe it preprocesses them, I think elendia ran some question about it on SO a while ago...

@quartata I distinctly remember it being of the form 1000...000 :P

Ah, yep, there it is: sys.setrecursionlimit(100000)

quartata

It was definitely all 9s

Maltysen

@FryAmTheEggman I believe that line is actually for the parser and not for actual execution

FryAmTheEggman

6:36 PM

Oh, lol I guess I'd been looking at the wrong one >_<

quartata

Is the parser recursive?

Maltysen

@quartata very

FryAmTheEggman

Hrmm, no I think it was added for the Ackermann function originally: github.com/isaacg1/pyth/commit/…

TimmyD

Recursive (adj) -- what happens when you're writing programming loops and can't get things to work right, you curse and re-curse again and again.

quartata

Something like take next char stick it in a node then for 1..arity recurse and add result as child?

TimmyD

6:38 PM

"Todd became really recursive after writing 200 lines of code that didn't work."

Maltysen

@quartata more like parse_rest_of_code(rest_code, current_compiled_code)

and then that calls different parse functions depending on the first character of rest_code

which call parse_rest_code again

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Try it!

I wonder if the bell character is supported on TIO...

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ how will he know if it beeped?

zyabin101

@QPaysTaxes Nope. Because servers don't have sound.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Maltysen If his C9 account is blocked for excessive beeping.

:P

zyabin101

6:46 PM

@QPaysTaxes I don't think servers have sound.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Then how do they hear the requests users make to them?

They must have souls.

Maltysen

@QPaysTaxes iter with two args, if I'm understanding your question correctly

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

does anyone in here know about trains of verbs in J?

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ chug-a chug-a, choooo chooooo

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

gee thanks

Specifically, what does (u v) a mean?

Everyone's a comic. sighs

zyabin101

6:54 PM

SFGITW'd /o\

@QPaysTaxes Second fastest gun in the West.

@QPaysTaxes It's a worried face.

Maltysen

@zyabin101 is that a synonym for "ninja'd"?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Ah, so (u v) a = a u (v a)

I'm having to teach myself this, but I guess it's better because it sticks.

zyabin101

@Maltysen It's for something else.

Third gun will be TFGITW, fourth and so on will be <N>FGITW where <N> is the place.

So fourth is 4FGITW, fifth is 5FGITW...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

So, just to confirm...

(u v) a => a u (v a)
(u v w) a => (u a) v (w a)
(u v w q) a => (u (v w q)) a => a u ((v w q) a) => a u ((v a) w (q a))
(u v w q r) a => (u v (w q r)) a => (u a) v ((w q r) a) => (u a) v ((w a) q (r a))

Right? (to anyone who knows this stuff)

I'll refrain from pinging each of you because that's just obnoxious >_<

zyabin101

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ (Erm, nope. To no one... No.)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

7:01 PM

@zyabin101 :P

bai

zyabin101
