The 21-byte version wastes a lot of bytes. The 17-byte version is for x in range(1,10):print(''.join(str(n*x%10) for n in range(1,10)))

The equivalent Python code for the 21-byte version would be something like for n,a in enumerate([range(1,10)]*10):print(''.join(str(n*x%10 for x in a)))

@Phoenix Thanks, I'm used to Python 3 where that's not a thing anymore
 
@Doorknob is the fourth space necessary?
 
Yes. (Also yes, to the edit.)
 
Because bash is terrible at braces
 
why?
 
@LeakyNun Here's the real answer, in 67 bytes: r=range(1,11);print'\n'.join(''.join(i*j%10for i in r)for j in r)
 
4:29 AM
Spaces separate arguments
 
someone forgot to press save
 
Without a space it merges the { into the previous token
 
@LeakyNun ...shit
 
@LeakyNun I'm not familiar with the full parsing rules of the nonstandard(?) for{} syntax, but I do know from experience (golfing) that the space there is required.
 
4:32 AM
Presumably the { is replaced with do and the } with end, and do needs a space after it.

I always forget that sum doesn't work on strings in Python, because logically it should (it just does pairwise reduction by __add__), and because I overloaded it to work in Actually
 
@Mego it should, but it explicitly rejected it

        if (PyUnicode_Check(result)) {
            PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,
                "sum() can't sum strings [use ''.join(seq) instead]");
            Py_DECREF(iter);

        if (PyByteArray_Check(result)) {
 
ok it turned out it was not a bug

@Mego oops, I take back my statement; it doesn't use __add__. Instead, it uses the built-in C function PyNumber_Add.

@Mego True, also the UI, the Privacy Policy, the FS...
Any OS that feels it has the right to pre-install candy crush on my computer needs to re-evaluate its priorities.
 
Actually I'm already using `which gcc` to verify that gcc exists, and IDK how to do that on windows, so it will probably not be very cross-platform anyway.
 
Even if I signed a legally binding document saying I consent to that, I do not consent to Candy Crush.

Never mind, @Doorknob your method doesn't win, since I'm interpolating the filename directly into a call to gcc

@Phoenix Well there's your problem :P That is very much not cross-platform-compatible
 
Yep
I don't even know if Windows has a good way to pass stdin into gcc

I don't think GCC normally reads from stdin
I'm pretty sure it expects a file.

@ASCII-only ;_; entire conception of world falling apart
@ATaco do u have scss and or jsx support yet
 
5:22 AM
scss
 
:O
 
It's still not a good framework.
But it's my framework.
Source code vs rendered vs sent source.
Note the server code is not sent to the client but is executed on the server.
 
@ATaco this is what nunjucks is for
 
Although pug offers a lot of support for serverside JS, it's usually for snippets, and no actual server work.
And this doesn't solve my problem, it still wants me to write in not javascript.
 
@ATaco ?
 
5:28 AM
The reason I like my JSD is I can just define a chunk of Serverside JS for any particular website, and go from there, without having to change anything in my actual node.
I can write full scale applications in my templates, (For the most part)
The intentions for JSD were "See PHP, but with Javascript"
 
CS:GO is pretty awesome
@ATaco Why not just use Rack and erb at that point?
 
Firstly, Note Javascript, secondly, I wasn't going to just straight up use any predefined frameworks.
 
@Dennis for them to credit the money, i need your DO account email
 
If I wanted to "Just use ERB" I might as well just use PHP.
 
@ATaco Rack is just a server thing to act as a backend
 
5:36 AM
That doesn't fix any problems.
 
Why JS though? The reason I suggested that is because Ruby is a much better language
 
Did this really need to become a language debate? I'm writing my server in NodeJS, and have been for some time.
 
Well played, OEIS
