@BernardMeurer use a raw string so you have no need to escape

r'your content here'

Bernard Meurer

io.UnsupportedOperation: not readable

hm

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@BernardMeurer permissions or no file error probs

Bernard Meurer

nevermind, fied it

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

doesn't sound like python though...

Bernard Meurer

yeah, had 'w' not 'r'

Martin Ender

10:02 PM

@BernardMeurer IIRC, re.match doesn't need the ^ and $

Bernard Meurer

It's not matching anything, balls

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@BernardMeurer ...did you store the result in a variable?

Bernard Meurer

    foo = re.match(r"\d{2}[.]\d{3}[.]\d{3}/\d{4}-\d{2}", f.read())
    print(foo)

f is a text file

Martin Ender

oh

you want re.search I think

(still without ^ and $)

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

^

Bernard Meurer

10:03 PM

with open("foo.txt", "r") as f:
    # print(getfull(date, line), file=f)
    foo = re.search(r"\d{2}[.]\d{3}[.]\d{3}/\d{4}-\d{2}", f.read())
    print(foo)

None

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

working directory check?

just doing the common stuff

Bernard Meurer

print(f.read()) works

as in it prints the text

Martin Ender

actually search is still not what you want. to get a list of all of them, you'll need re.findall

but re.search should give you one of them actually

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

:P

btw, what editor are you using?

Bernard Meurer

Yeah, findall gives me an empty list

Atom

with some plugins

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

10:05 PM

why not IntelliJ/PyCharm?

awesome autocomplete

really great code formatting via ctrl-shift-l

PEP 8 too

Bernard Meurer

I have it installed, lemme shift

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

doesn't interfere, open source

Martin Ender

who needs an IDE when you have a good text editor ;)

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@MartinEnder people use text editors simply because it gives them a false sense of self confidence, :P

autocomplete can save you time and money

10:07 PM

PEP 8 formatting helps you, simply put

Martin Ender

no, because it gives you a single tool for coding in any programming language

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@MartinEnder "...just because anal sex works on all genders doesn't mean it's good"

sorry for the nsfw-ness

Martin Ender

a good text editor can do autocompletion and linting for you as well

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@MartinEnder then it's an IDE

I use pycharm mainly for the text editor

Bernard Meurer

HA

I know why it won't work

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

10:08 PM

then I drag htop to my tabs

Bernard Meurer

god I'm stupid

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

what?

@BernardMeurer we've all been there :)

because we're all stupid <s>sometimes</s>

Bernard Meurer

I had ran the code with 'w' and it made a new empty txt

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@BernardMeurer ?

nvm

Bernard Meurer

basically: I was searching an empty text file

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

10:10 PM

oh

so, what is @MartinEnder working on?

Martin Ender

hm?

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

what's hm? a new esolang?

(jk)

Martin Ender

currently thinking about the next Retina update

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

easter eggs. lots of easter eggs.

Downgoat

@MartinEnder oh, I have suggestion for next Retina update: better multiline support

perhaps by having some way to rotate the input

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

10:15 PM

my rep graph = XD

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC, Null Island, at (0,0)

2.4k 9 36

Martin Ender

@Downgoat I don't really want to add "built-ins" for rotation/transpose, unless you can come up with a generalisation for those operations that can be meaningfully parameterised by a regex

Downgoat

@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC eh, it's docs rep. pretty much worthless

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

anyone got a SEDE query or some other kind of filter to filter questions for newbies on SO?

I want some easy bait...

@Downgoat why?

BOUNTIES!

El'endia Starman

@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Just go to the page for python or something and wait.

Downgoat

@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC because rep-w— people interested in gaining lots of rep can just make a simple edit on a popular post and boom, hundreds of reps

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

10:18 PM

@El'endiaStarman too lazy to view rep

El'endia Starman

@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC ...eh? How does that have anything to do with it?

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Downgoat I added several sentences and updated formatting for a popular post. half deserve it, also contirbuted several original examples

Downgoat

@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC thats a substantial edit you made there

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Downgoat not that one

on python comprehensions

I'm loving inline editing and instant approval

Downgoat

instant approval is nice except that it's way to prone to abuse

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

10:26 PM

@Downgoat MUAHAHHAH!

Downgoat

> oh look chatgoat accepted my "console.log is actually youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ";

uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

yep

Q: Tag Proposal: Orphaned

I'm proposing that we create an orphaned tag for use only in the sandbox. This will allow people who have ceased work on a challenge idea to indicate such. The idea here is that other interested individuals would be able to step in and continue development of the challenge and post it in its fi...

Q: Is "Most Elegant" objective

This comes up in popularity contests all the time. Most elegant as a scoring criteria (or similar). Is a popularity contest objective in and of itself by saying that most votes wins? It is very objective to compare two numbers. How those numbers were created may not be objective. What is the comm...

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

King of the golf course Write a program that golfs Brainf*** programs. Similar to code-golf challenges on this site, you will be racing against the clock, and the byte count to maximize glory (reputation). Assuming N players participate each match will consist of a maximum of N - 1 rounds. Eac...

I hate soundcloud's implementation of image uploads. I give it a PNG, it re-encodes it to a really crappy JPEG. I give it a perfectly optimized JPEG (that's even smaller than the re-encoded crap) and it fucks it up even more.

Impossible to have text in images. Artifacts all the way.

@mınxomaτ Upload to youtube with misc screensaver-style visualizations made by the people in the podcast.

mınxomaτ

I plan to upload everywhere. But soundcloud is better because it plays tracks while the phone screen is locked (or the App minimized).

quartata

You should stream the podcast too.

mınxomaτ

No.

quartata

?

Helka Homba

Livestreaming is way harder than plain recording. Technologically and psychologically.

quartata

@HelkaHomba Fair.

mınxomaτ

Also quality is suffering massively.

quartata

@mınxomaτ It shouldn't need that much post-processing, I wouldn't think

mınxomaτ

Trust me, it does.

But that's not a problem.

Q: "Break" a number

Origins tl;dw (too lazy, didn't write): thought of it right before I fell asleep Challenge Breaking a number is defined as the following steps: Take a number or a parseable data type as input in any allowed way. Duplicate the first digit (64 -> 664) Subtract 4 from the last digit (664 -> 6...
