@ASCII-only I mostly like that you don't have to import anything to get regexes work, but it's good that there are lots of good features in there, too. I just don't know what many of those features are :D

@Sherlock9 but regex is supposed to be an essential object type

plz someone try install Neoscript from NPM

it crash on my computer

1:02 PM

In Python it's, import re\nre.compile("your_regex")

and it's just to test if it crash on other computers

@Sherlock9 D: why, python

@TùxCräftîñg

ok weird

@ASCII-only nods sadly

I guess the Python team just wants a small core of stuff and anything that isn't always essential is kept to other modules

Regexes are cool, but how often do you use them?

tux-need-to-fix

@Sherlock9 depends, if you use string manipulation a lot they are very handy

I suppose Python is more number-focused, so regexes are a lot less important

proof of the superiority of PCRE: \p

Or they think that what string manipulation functions that are already attached to the str type is usually sufficient and regex capabilities are more for the crazier substitutions. Lookbehinds and lookaheads and so on.

(?:\p{L}|_)(?:\p{L}|\d|_)* match a identifier even with unicode in it

but it only works in PCRE

1:09 PM

Ruby has /\p{}/

Unless I'm missing something

So they might incorporate PCRE stuff, too

@TùxCräftîñg ???

\p{L} match any letter from any language

@TùxCräftîñg ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/…

halp anyone know a lot about encryption

And?

@LeakyNun And?..

@ASCII-only exempt

@ASCII-only I know some. Mostly about pen-and-paper ciphers

Adnan

@ASCII-only Depends, what is the question

@zyabin101 guess the pattern

@LeakyNun i=input();a="x"*i;b="x"+" "*(i-2)+"x";print'\n'.join([a]+[b]*(i-2)+[a])

1:36 PM

@LeakyNun 1 ==> x

@Sherlock9 not bad, but doesn't work for 1

2 ==>

xx\nxx

10 ==> 10{x}\n8{x8{ }}\n10{x}

@LeakyNun ES6, 93: f=n=>eval(`[${'0,'.repeat(n)}]`).map((_,i)=>`x${('x '[+!!(i&&n-i-1)]).repeat(n-2)}x`).join(`<insert newline here>`)

@LeakyNun Nuts. Hang on

@ASCII-only doesn't work for 1

1:38 PM

useless regex of the day: ((?:[Rλ]|$(?1)$)+) match well formed P'' programs (only work in PCRE)

Welp, can't edit so: i=input();a="x"*i;b="x"+" "*(i-2)+"x";print'\n'.join([a]+[b]*(i-2)+[a]*(i>1))

Do you think I should post this in main?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ @ConorO'Brien RDFTD

ES6, 105: f=n=>n-1?eval(`[${'0,'.repeat(n)}]`).map((_,i)=>`x${('x '[+!!(i&&n-i-1)]).repeat(n-2)}x`).join(`<newline>`):'x'

@ASCII-only What kind of encryption?

Pub/priv, symmetric, one-way, what?

1:44 PM

I guess it's more a security question

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Why SoundCloud?

You can't YouTube here? :)

@zyabin101 Better for reducing the amount of data used if on a metered connection, and I don't want to fill chat with an excessive amount of message size.

@zyabin101 because no video = a lot faster, saves so much bandwidth

Plus I think it has better quality anyway. >.>

plus it's music

1:45 PM

yes

@ASCII-only Still waiting to hear it. ;)

@VTCAKAVSMoACE >^.^>

uh, so idk how to securely encrypt stuff well, would scrypt to verify the password + any sufficiently secure encryption algorithm be secure enough?

@ASCII-only As long as you don't disclose the clear password, yeah. And assuming there's no problems with your encryption algorithm. :P

If you run on Linux-based, just use pgp encryption.

@VTCAKAVSMoACE I'm using node, so no pgp builtin

@ASCII-only Hmm, OpenPGP.js exists.

I've actually been working with that a lot recently. >.>

1:52 PM

@VTCAKAVSMoACE so pgp is better than things like aes?

@VTCAKAVSMoACE wait what why

@ASCII-only Depends.

PGP is good for encrypting for the purpose of sharing information securely, so, encryption with multiple public keys for distribution and decryption by their respective privkeys.

AES is symmetric cypher, so it's good for one user, period.

@ASCII-only Because I had to use node for decryption recently. ;P

esolangs.org/wiki/P%E2%80%B2%E2%80%B2

what is the behaviour of (q)?

execute q while i != 0 or while a[i] != a[0]

@VTCAKAVSMoACE i mean, that's a pretty specific thing to work on, what do you usually use node for?

@ASCII-only That was my first use of JS, ever.

So.

Yeah.

Well, I can't say node was my first use, I created a really bad userscript last year and then discovered node

1:56 PM

plz halp

@TùxCräftîñg wot

Your question?

^^^^^^^^^^^

Iterate with q while q != a[0].

Sorry no

how secure is encryption with aes + plain password?

var i = q;
while (a[i] != a[0]) {
 a[i];
 i+=q;
}

That's how I interpreted it.

1:59 PM

k

@ASCII-only As secure as the password. :P

Adnan

Why encrypt the password instead of hashing it?

@VTCAKAVSMoACE So if you password open, the whole building will destruct upon you sometime soon? (]:P

@Adnan i mean encrypt with the password

Adnan

Oh

2:04 PM

@zyabin101 what

@VTCAKAVSMoACE It's a metaphor.

@zyabin101 ?

@VTCAKAVSMoACE I meant, "if you password open, the message will be hacked sometime soon, right?"

@zyabin101 open is a pretty uncommon password, but because of its short length, probably

Quill

@LeakyNun no, I wish

Definition Two integers are coprime if they share no positive common divisors other than 1. Example a(11) = 6 because 6 is coprime with the last two predecessors (namely, 11 and 13) and 6 has not appeared before. Notes Note that the sequence is not ascending, meaning that an element can...

@LeakyNun Typo in number-theorey

I'm not sure if you can eleven that to number-theory, I can't, so...

@zyabin101 fixed

@zyabin101 when the question owner edits their tags, it isn't elevening.

Ah. But Adnan ninja'd you with editing the typo out.

alright
