Well, you know Jelly is the name of another language that has a very unique compressor that uses the english dictionary

Sorry I didn't realize this was a completely unrelated compressor

TùxCräftîñg

@quartata in the your-mom package.json the call at build is a dot directory

so this is normal

Downgoat

@quartata without bin by itself just looks too lonely

TùxCräftîñg

^

quartata

That doesn't justify the usage of a dot folder for no reason other than to force people to type ls -a

Quill

@quartata the .bin folder is supposed to be a hidden folder containing shell executables of the npm packages, so you can specifically execute them without running node

TùxCräftîñg

10:12 PM

^

Downgoat

^

quartata

@Quill Why can't it just be bin/?

Quill

IIRC, the real use for it is when you install -g, but we're abusing it here

@quartata because folders prefixed with a dot are hidden?

TùxCräftîñg

@Quill by default yes

quartata

@Quill Why does it need to be hidden?

It's not a "behind the scenes" thing

Quill

10:13 PM

it is a behind the scenes kinda thing

TùxCräftîñg

^^

Downgoat

^^

TùxCräftîñg

not really this is binaries

Downgoat

I'm pretty damn sure it's because of the way node indexes node_modules

it just checks for a dir with the name of the given package

Quill

if you need to execute a node library as an executable, then it should be installed globally, it's more of a workaround so we don't have to do global installs for everything

Downgoat

10:14 PM

it needs someway to separate bin/ from the rest

Quill

in any case, I'm not a canonical source and we're all going to the slave factory when the robots take over for questioning npm's methodology

10:36 PM

ASCII

ASCII (/ˈæski/ ASS-kee), abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) prefers the name US-ASCII). ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, although they support many additional characters. == Overview == ASCII was developed from telegraph code. Its first commercial use was as a seven-bit teleprinter code promoted by Bell data services. Work on the ASCII standard began on October 6, 1960...

there's a list

if you go down a bit

@Downgoat ey that's pretty good

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat how does that work?

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ e.g. if you wanted unicode code point 0x0F you would do \u{F} or \u{0F} the reason I'm doing this is because you get higher unicode code-point characters and I don't want to have weird surrogates like JS

@quartata I had a chatbot that did the exact same thing once

Downgoat

@quartata lol

quartata

I assume you did something like string + getChar instead of string + getChar()

Downgoat

@quartata exactly

at least its easy to debug because I knew exactly what and where the problem was

Quill

10:50 PM

it happens in JS when you pass functions around like herpies

quartata

Why aren't you using use strict or somethin

Anyways honest question, which one is easier to debug:

cheddar> "test\nok"
"testfunction getChar() {
            return this.Code[this.Index++];
        }nok"

or

cheddar> "test\nok"

@quartata also, how do I distinguish between an error and printed text. you need to make it red or something

10:54 PM

Being able to see the surrogates (especially in the case of unprintables) is very useful

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Pretend it's read. Is that easier to debug then the former?

since unlike the former it tells you exactly where it happened and why
