@Downgoat avocad.ppcg.lol
@Downgoat as long as you like. The longer the better though
@QPaysTaxes that looks good
 
@Quill on CR are upvotes proportional to answer length?
@QPaysTaxes on CR? I'd hate to give you evil CR rep :P
 
@Downgoat Here. try doing this, and foo:=1
 
@MarsUltor is that chrome/firefox only?
 
@Downgoat Yeah
 
@QPaysTaxes ok, link me to your CR account and i'll upvote

5:08 AM
Doing a code review for FOG is making me cringe a bit o___O
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ^
 
I legitimately am having trouble testing things
 
@MarsUltor wow, you are really making progress! Cheddar is still stuck on class construction and all
 
@Downgoat Same here
 
you should have an avocad.juic getter :P
 
5:10 AM
It supports basic class parsing, but has no classes yet
But no classes = no getters
 
@MarsUltor How are operators being done then?
 
@Downgoat They're global. Also, if you mean primitive classes, then yes, there are (kinda)
 
@MarsUltor ah, okay.
@MarsUltor I've finished classes for cheddar (but not the syntax). So you can try to use CheddarClass to finish classes
Does anyone want to be part of the Cheddar github organization?

horde mode :D
 
@AshwinGupta wuh
@AshwinGupta Is this also browser lag mode? :P
 
@Downgoat 1 neat thing about JS, chrome has an interactive JS console.
@Downgoat well, its still kinda working, everything is just started moving REALLY slow
I just wrote an infinite
then put my addAlien() command in there
:D
@QPaysTaxes pfft...
ok people
I'm done for the night

Q: C**e Profanity: Remove all f**r letters words from code, and keep it running correctly

Yossi GilAs everybody knows, four letter words, from love to fuck, from "milf" to this white thing we quaff called in everyday life: "milk". All of these should be marked as something dirty. Your challenge is to write a program that replaces all four letter words from the input text, by replacing the two...

@VTCAKAVSMoACE s/hw/wh/

s/APL/almost every golfing\/esolang, and some normal ones/
 
That means words with the middle two letters ignored probably count
 
7:54 AM
@YossiGil All challenges must be objectively score-able to determine a clear winner. You can't have "alternative" scoring systems, because there can be only one. Secondly, this challenge essentially restricts the usable languages to only a few, which is suggested against. This challenge would be viable if it was python only, but, alas, that's not something we do here. Also, the downvotes on this question are likely not due to question content, but of tone. Perhaps editing it for a less sarcastic vibe would be beneficial? — VTCAKAVSMoACE 23 secs ago

I've tried to add some neutral comments in case the confrontational attitude was just due to perceived attack. I guess we'll find out in time when things have cooled down.

Looks he has deleted the challenge just to weed out any bugs and make it at least a bit clear.
Or I don't see the challenge on the main page.
 
No, it's not deleted.
There's a delete vote on it (?), but it's still there.

Not my delete vote
 
AFAIK a challenge disappears from the frontpage when it hits -8(?).
 
Pretty sure it's greater than -8, like -3 or something

No
 
It's +1/-8 now
 
(Hmm -3's too high, there's one on the front page)

A: Meta sites' front pages should not hide questions with very low scores

Jeff AtwoodThe threshold is higher on meta, I think it's -8 or so compared to -4 on the parent site. Are you recommending that as the standard for all metas? I think I could support that. edit: setting this to a global value of -8 for all metas.

@Sherlock9 I put up a bounty on MSE

Q: Challenges with categories of winners

trichoplaxA challenge must have an objective winning criterion. However, does this have to define a single winner, or is it acceptable for a challenge to have categories of winners?

Kept conscious only by the need to write more unit tests
 
That... doesn't seem that urgent, but I could be wrong
Could you write your ideas for unit tests down in a notebook and then sleep?
It's what I do sometimes with ideas that I get in the middle of the night, on the infrequent occasions that I decide that getting some sleep is more important an interesting, but not urgent, idea

they run software much better

@Lembik We await it ~_~
Unrelated: @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I announced a new nested programs challenge. Coming soon...
 
10:57 AM
in short the challenge would be to write code to find the minimum number of multiplications needed to multiply two matrices of small size
 
there is no minumum and maximum number of matricial multiplication
 
@Quill I thought about that all last night. Cat woke me up at 4:00am (now) and I came to check it. :P
 
because there is one algorithm
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ you're back! \o/
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Well you got two new answers :D
great turnout
 
10:59 AM
I thought you went off the internet for the rest of the week.
 
@Agawa001 this is incorrect
 
also go back to bed ;p
 
@zyabin101 that was for 2 weeks ago
 
@Agawa001 if you multiply two 2 by 2 matrices you can do it in 7
 
10:59 AM
@Quill hmph
 
row1*column1 , row1*column2, row2*column1, row2*column2
 
in 15 min
@Sp3000 sowee
 
hmmm nice, the bot corrected my last post
 
@Agawa001 Which bot?
 
@Lembik That actually sounds like a good challenge idea
 
11:01 AM
@Sp3000 thanks! And don't sound so surprised :)
 
@zyabin101 dunno which but when i type a single * it wouldnt show up usually
 
Well, I'm assuming you're thinking of Strassen's/other sub O(n^3) algorithms, and the fact that people aren't sure whether O(n^2) is doable or not...
 
@zyabin101 I think he means markdown.
 
@Sp3000 precisely.. also rectangular multiplication is less well studied
but in particular there is no known optimal answer for two 3 by 3 matrices
 
Oh?
 
11:05 AM
@Sp3000 thanks a lot for reviewing my FOG interpreter.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ No worries, sorry I didn't get through it all, didn't have much time to decipher the specifics
 
@Doorknob how do you read a Babble program out loud?
 
Simply put it looked a little... buggy :/
 
that's fine. and :/
it is buggy
especially about the things like lists
 
@Sp3000 that is new to me :S
 
11:07 AM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ you have to put a Code Review shield badge on your FOG repo.
 
@zyabin101 can i has pic?
 
@Agawa001 Hm? What is?

Q: Shielding your CodeReview on GitHub

Simon ForsbergIn response to a feature-request on meta, I spent a few hours today creating the feature in php. This application adds a review shield to your GitHub repository (or wherever else you want it). It looks like the following: To use it, use standard image/link markdown, like this: [![Code Revie...

 
@Sp3000 Strassen's
 
@zyabin101 hey I remember that thing
 
11:11 AM
how i use it
nvm
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Link me to the FOG interpreter question on Code Review.
 
o_O dunno if I'd recommend putting a shield on personally, seems a bit misleading
@Agawa001 Ah k yeah - have a read about subcubic matrix multiplication, it's pretty interesting :)
 
@Sp3000 why?
@zyabin101 don't worry, i got it
@Sp3000 also, thanks for not picking at my emoticon list. :P
 
For one thing, your code no longer looks like that, so it's a bit like sticking a "Best Local Restaurant in 2016" sign which won't make sense in a few years
If I had to review operator choices that's a whole different problem altogether, but since it's just a code review I didn't pay any attention to that actually
 
okai
we need a real "language-design" review catagory
 
11:17 AM
would use that
But how many people would even review a language written in JS?
 
other than Dan Pantry and Quill?
wait hm
idk if they would do languages design reviews, but they would do js at least

That's a lot of warnings for your interpreter code.
 
ik
Pylint gave me a score of -15/10
 
So that you don't have to search the full text, there's 21 warnings.
 
at least it did on the code on CR now, not the current version.
 
11:21 AM
Most of those are just isinstance instead of type, so there's not a lot of unique warnings
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Uhh, running Pylint on my machine and your code gives 5.32/10.
Chat mini-challenge: Make a Python program that will be rated by Pylint at 8.7/10.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ We have quite a few JS reviewers actually
 
@MarsUltor You should submit UGL for review at Code Review.
 
@zyabin101 Simplest fraction is 87/100, so if pylint works how I think it does you'll need at least 100 lines
(unless multiple violations in 1 line are counted differently?)
 
@Sp3000 I think it will take less, so objective winning criteria: smallest lines wins.
 
11:30 AM
Hmm nvm got it in less
 
@Sp3000 Post-it!™
 
Too long
 
@Sp3000 Use a gist.

Which problem?
 
but unfortunately i fixed my regex after they closed challenge delay

hmm yes
 
Ah, k
 
@Sp3000 ಠ_ಠ
 
No, I'm serious. There's no reason why you can't have both
 
@Sp3000 But still, it's the earliest 1 line answer, so it wins. :D

@MartinBüttner Help how do I do nested comments with regex without .NET balancing groups?
 
Er... use a parser?
(anything like matching brackets depends on which regex flavour you're using, e.g. it's flat out impossible in Python with Python's re module alone)
(I think?)
 
But
For sublime highlighting
 
What makes you think they used regex for that?
 
@Quill but will they review for specifically language design?
Like not for how nice the code is, how good your language is.

sorry, I went to bed.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ generally not. we don't really make languages in our spare time, we don't get much language design through

Jelly, Bubblegum, Maybe cinnamon?
