Took me a while to realize that Euler is pronounced Oiler
 
@quartata I was corrected by my math teacher in 9th grade, I think.
 
One of my friends intentionally pronounces Euler as "yooler" and Euclid as "oislid" just to mess with people.
6
 
@Doorknob hahaha
@El'endiaStarman OK, phew. I'm glad it's a common thing
 
How do you pronounce Euler?
 
oiler
 
9:06 PM
and euclid?
 
@El'endiaStarman hahaha mt
 
youclid
 
you-slid
 
so why not oiclid?
 
Because English
 
9:07 PM
euler was french (or something) and euclid was greek right?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ more or something than french
 
(weak joke about inconsistent pronunciation)
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Euler was Swiss, apparently. So his name is [Swiss] German.
 
they're loaner words, the point is
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ there is no point, not even a comma!
 
9:09 PM
sure there is. there's two (or three) in this message.
 
I hope you are familiar with pointless topology.
Derived from that concept, there is the notion of pointless (sometimes pointfree) notation in haskell.
Which actually uses points (.) .
 
@QPaysTaxes No, pointfree notation is writing function without explicitly mentioning their arguments.
e.g. substractTwo x = x-2
Could be rewritten as substractTwo = (-2)
And if you copose multiple functions you can use the composition operator, the "."
What is concaten?
Link?
I need to go, but I'd love to look into it tomorrow!
So it is functional?
 
9:27 PM
@QPaysTaxes what does collect do in ruby?
 
@QPaysTaxes o/
 
@QPaysTaxes could you make an example? :3
what about when given a non function
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Illuminati confirmed
 
9:29 PM
> used cats
 
@Maltysen have you seen spurious correlations?
> get a service estimate
BTW, that was me googling "car" with xkcd subs on.
 
@QPaysTaxes Like, thing.collect { "string" }
so, it's like a fill?
oh
ah
one last (?) question: what does collect_concat do?
 
@QPaysTaxes Why not just ["string"] * length?
@QPaysTaxes Yeah I know. I was referring to the first one.
 
@QPaysTaxes I'm looking at that rn, and the example doesn't using collect_concat. Which is why I'm askign you.
@QPaysTaxes I only asked because the examples of said functions don't use the actual function
It's a bunch of jargon.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ They generally do that if the function you're reading about is an alias of another one.
 
9:35 PM
@Cyoce so... why not just say it's an alias?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ They normally do.
 
@QPaysTaxes Block is a general term. Enum is a general term. WTF do they mean in this context?
@QPaysTaxes thanks for linking me to it ;)
 
@QPaysTaxes Jargon isn't just words, but also meanings.
 
@QPaysTaxes I'm not learning ruby, I'm trying to implement functions from the library. I don't know ruby yet.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Learn Ruby. Now.
 
9:37 PM
@Cyoce no
@QPaysTaxes My favorite language is not JavaScript.
 
@QPaysTaxes I loved Ruby coming from JavaScript.
 
collect_concat { |obj| block } → array
collect_concat → an_enumerator
is an operator?
 
@QPaysTaxes No! Python makes no sense! It is full of contradictions!
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ no that indicates the return value
 
9:38 PM
@Cyoce ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The Ruby docs are horrible.
 
@QPaysTaxes Oh, the definition is the joke.
Oh well. Nothing is worse than J source.
 
How to multiply 2 lists in julia?
i.e. [1,2] * [3,4] = [1*3,2*4]?
@QPaysTaxes Write it in Julia.
D: why?
 
@QPaysTaxes Romeo?
 
@QPaysTaxes He should use Z: [1, 2] .* [3, 4]
 
Z?
Please don't tell me you made it.
 
@QPaysTaxes ^
J e s u s
u

i
a     no
 
@flawr Who? Old Man Gloom?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Not really. I made a wrapper but haven't published it
 
9:43 PM
@AlexA. multiply 2 lists in julia?
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ >_>
 
2 mins ago, by Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ
i.e. [1,2] * [3,4] = [1*3,2*4]?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ .*
 
HAHA CALLED IT
 
9:44 PM
Elementwise multiplication for arrays
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ O_O
wtf dude
 
@Cyoce That was Q's opinion of Python at first. :P
 
.... you made Z be like julia?
EPIC
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I didn't make it. is the link blocked?
 
9:45 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ no.
I am just confuzzled.
 
@AlexA. The link from earlier, Pelican
 
9:46 PM
@QPaysTaxes Thanks, SE!
 
@flawr I missed the link. Overall I'm not a huge Pelican fan but I like the album City of Echos.
 
I wonder if I should write an extension that filters out messages with low information content. Would probably make chat a little more enjoyable to read. :P
 
oh well.
@AlexA. @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ thanks!
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ don't thank me >_>
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ okay
I welcome you.
 
9:47 PM
@flawr @AlexA.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ much better XD
 
How do I make recursion shorter in Pretzel? What built-ins should I implement to shorten recursion?
 
@NathanMerrill TIL you're married :O
 
And seriously, Adnan and ಠ_ಠ are the same dude?
 
@QPaysTaxes I could probably do pretty well just by tossing out messages with no more than five space-separated words. :P
 
9:48 PM
@AlexA. lol
 
@AlexA. That was new to me too.
 
He's mentioned it before.
 
@AlexA. And this of course.
 
@flawr BUNNY CUBE
 
@QPaysTaxes so like a=2; b=3;c=4;rec() # => foo(2,3,4) ?
 
9:49 PM
The interesting conversations tend not to have a bunch of messages with few words.
 
@El'endiaStarman Flag that post <-- Instructive, relevant to the site, <5 words
 
@QPaysTaxes Hmm... that might occasionally save a few bytes...
 
@flawr Oh yeah, I'm not a fan of that album.
 
@QPaysTaxes I wouldn't necessarily call that a conversation. "Discussion" might be a better word.
 
Kinda boring.
 
9:51 PM
@QPaysTaxes I usually consider discussions to be fairly lengthy conversations about a topic that's not small talk.
 
@QPaysTaxes ?<à1áràr fibonacci where "r" is that recursion function
 
El'endia style reduction of content: (makes content red)
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("[id^='message-']")).filter(e=>e.querySelector(".content").innerHTML.split(" ").length < 5).map(e => e.style.color = "red")
 
@QPaysTaxes Yes. That's how it would be if I implemented r to do that.
 
Ooooh. It'd be cool to have a sort of "heat map" with the average number of words per message through out the day/week and see if that correlates with interestingness.
 
> avocad
 
9:54 PM
Or to remove them completely:
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("[id^='message-']")).filter(e=>e.querySelector(".content").innerHTML.split(" ").length < 5).map(e => e.parentNode.parentNode.style.display = "none")
 
@QPaysTaxes Where do you think I got the name?
(it's actually pretty simple)
 
@QPaysTaxes By looking at the transcript.
 
@QPaysTaxes You'd need an objective measure, like stars
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that too
 
9:55 PM
@QPaysTaxes I never expected it to be good. Just decent. :P
 
@El'endiaStarman avocad must be the most common word
 
@QPaysTaxes Yeah, or hiding with the option to restore.
This is mostly theoretical though since I have no idea how to make a Chrome extension.
 
@QPaysTaxes yeah
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ VM11744:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of null(…)
 
You can also assign it to a function then use an interval function
@El'endiaStarman which browser are you using?
 
9:57 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Chrome.
 
@QPaysTaxes I could, but that's too much work
 
@El'endiaStarman it's pretty easy, you basically just make a json file with the info like extension name and locations that you want the extension to work, and then you add a .js file
 
@Quill Huh, okay then. I might try my hand at it sometime.
 
@El'endiaStarman Try refreshing the page.
btw @Quill I'm making a node module!
 
I did a simple chrome extension for Jira the other day that might shed some light
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ :DDDD what does it do
 
9:58 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ How would that help? o.O (Same error, anyway.)
 
@El'endiaStarman ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
How hard would it be to filter out the null elements?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ oh cool
does it juic avocad?
 
.filter((element) => element != null)
 
.filter(x => x)
