@Doorknob I cannot edit it deal

@quartata Please take care when trying to juice an avocado, for they are notoriously bad at the task. For instance, if you try using a regular juicer, it simply will not work. The best method I have found is to scoop the avocado into a blender. Puree for a short amount of time, while adding small amounts of your choice of liquids to the mixture.

@Geobits what is a juicer? did you mean juicr?

Geobits

No. It is a common mistake, my lad, but I indeed meant juicer.

@Downgoat and .ng?

2:30 AM

@Geobits wat is juicer

I never tried to get quar.tatar

@quartata registration website doesn't work

ok

@Downgoat try emailing them?

nvm got it to work

> $75.00 USD

O_o

that is waay to much for a .ng domain

if they ask what it is for say you are trying to bring cheese to poverty stricken areas of Nigeria

2:34 AM

@quartata hahaha

75 a year isn't all that bad

... it's not available

cheddarla.ng? I find that hard to believe

do a dig

i tried

this is weird

@Downgoat Hey you're on a mac right?

2:36 AM

or whois

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ yeah

Could you do me a favor?

yeah?

Open up neovim and type :echo $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS

¬_¬ uh huh, and give you my ssh keys? no way

2:37 AM

It's for V.

I want to make sure it can run on all 3 major OSes.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ ^

pleasd don't jave me

0_o Okay, was not expecting such a long path.

If you type export NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/nvim before launching nvim, does it change the output?

Wait, do macs have a /tmp folder?

yeah

are you trying to heartbleed me?

now it just outputs /tmp/nvim

No, I'm trying to DDOS you.

don't

2:40 AM

@Downgoat Oh, perfect, that's what I was hoping for.

yes although it is a symbolic link to /private/tmp/

^

mach amirite fellas

what?

That means that "in theory" mac support should be pretty easy.

2:41 AM

yay?

Atleast, after I hack you. :P

you're a mac user and you don't know that mach is os x's kernel? ok

anyways

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ link to V's repo?

github.com/DJMcMayhem/V

Unfortunately, right now it has a lot of dependencies and doesn't offer a ton of improvements over vim.

Probably because vim is already great at golf.

Atleast, for certain types of challenges.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ D:

you're using python

-0 for not using nodejs

Wait you can pipe commands into neovim holy smokes that's cool

2:46 AM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like python.

@quartata I know it's awesome!

^

One of the things about the neovim-python pipe is really cool is that it can even evaluate vimscript in the middle of insert mode, or normal mode with an operator pending.

niice

You could probably add mathy things pretty easily then.

Yeah, I think "mathy" things are one of the biggest things vim as a golf-lang is missing.

That and control-flow.

3:34 AM

"That and control-flow"

Meh. Who ever uses control flow?

Does anyone else here know JavaScript?

@Downgoat I do

okay, I have a question:

Yes...?

if I have a class named "Foo". Can I specify some variables before the class is constructed?

e.g.

class Foo {
    constructor() {
        this.baz = this.bar;
    }
}

how could I set this.bar?

3:40 AM

With the prototype maybe

but I would have to edit Foo itself correct?

I can't create an instance without calling constructor

I don't think so.

D:

brb remaking entire Cheddar interpreter

You could have it bypass the body of the constructor, but generally creating an instance requires calling constructor.

what do you mean by that?

3:42 AM

Then again, don't take my word for it, ask some other people as ES6 features aren't my forté.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ '^'*13

@Downgoat I mean like constructor(doNotConstruct){ if(!doNotConstruct){ code } } to bypass the constructor, but I'm sure that's not what you mean.

@Cyoce no, sorry for the confusion

someone should make a fastest-code to generate a range [a, b)

@Downgoat I hate exclusive range.

@Cyoce do you like inclusive range better?

3:46 AM

@Downgoat Yes. Exclusive range is annoying to work with.

should Cheddar use inclusive range for it's range op then?

@Downgoat IMMHO, yes.

strawpoll.me/10078498

Just the fact that the notation for exclusive range [a,b) is asymmetrical is indicative of its unnaturalness and unusefulness.

Wow that was a mouthful (keyboardful?)

For example, in Python, I rarely end up typing range(a,b); I always type range(a,b+1).

Anonymous

Woohoo, meta fanatic

3:56 AM

Or you can do it like Ruby and have an inclusive (..) and exclusive (...) range operator

Anonymous

@Cyoce Than your b is wrong :P

@Mego my b? I don't follow

Anonymous

@Cyoce You don't need range(a,b+1). You need b=b+1;range(a,b).

@Mego except b is normally an expression.

Anonymous

Well then fix your expression :P

Q: Should Booleans be allowed where a number is required?

4:00 AM

@Mego I do! I fix my expression by adding +1 that's the point :P :P

¯\( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ಠ)_/

The only saving grace of exclusive range is range(len(someList)), but that's more of a fault of 0-indexed lists.

This is a rather common inquiry in contests that require computing elements of a sequence. For example, consider the following recursive implementation of the factorial function (Python): f = lambda n:n<1or n*f(n-1) This works well for all positive n; f(n) returns the required result as an in...

@QPaysTaxes what was wrong with Ruby? D:

@QPaysTaxes You should get back into JavaScript, everyone knows Java and JavaScript are practically the same

@QPaysTaxes ಠ_ಠ which ever mod does that is not getting my vote next year

:'( unicorns-are-mean

@Downgoat Well, that's too bad since mods have the position indefinitely...

@El'endiaStarman wait really?

I thought they had to get reelected every year??

Yup. Nope.

I was elected four years ago, IIRC. :P

Or die, but I don't know if that's ever happened.

@El'endiaStarman didn't that happen on C.SE?

@Downgoat Top user, not mod.

5:16 AM

@QPaysTaxes So StackExchange = Life?

@QPaysTaxes EST, UTC -4.

@QPaysTaxes Yeah. :(

@QPaysTaxes aren't you EST also?

but lack sleep is bad for you whether or not you have school...

oh ok

how should bigint promotion occur?

Whenever I do a calculation should I check if that exceeds MAX_SAFE_INT, and if it does, promote and redo the math?

there is little reference

also, should bigint demotion occur also?

@Downgoat No

@Downgoat wat

Pretty sure they are

Maybe Babel doesn't support it yet though

@Downgoat Yes

@Downgoat A lot more true with ES6

@QPaysTaxes lat * 1000000 + long * 1000000?

wait

@QPaysTaxes Best to store them seperately

@QPaysTaxes Exactly

you need last 16 bits of lat << 16 + last 16 bits of long

((lat & 0xFFFF) << 16) + (long & 0xFFFF)

Would probably be good enough

or first 16 bits, doesn't really matter

last 16 is probably better if you have very close locations though

@QPaysTaxes love when that happens. hate when it takes so long to realize.

And what language is this? Sorry

What's the (premise?)?

(obviously it (seems to be) a concatenative language, but other than that)

Sounds slow :)
