I think the operator is always associative in a group

HyperNeutrino

Right. It's commutativity that isn't implied .____.

Challenger5

The term abelian, (having just looked it up) means that the operator is commutative as well

HyperNeutrino

rip my lack of math knowledge .___. I was just studying groups not too long ago

Challenger5

Rip all my jokes

HyperNeutrino

well that was stupid

I just did sudo delgroup sudo to see what would happen

and now I can't undo that because I can't run sudo things anymore .___.

well shit

Challenger5

00:04

I think generally, if you're trying to "see what will happen" with the command line, it's probably going to be bad

HyperNeutrino

su; addgroup sudo; addgroup alex_liao sudo didn't work either

Challenger5

Can you use su? (I have no idea)

HyperNeutrino

yes

Challenger5

Oh nvm

HyperNeutrino

I think restarting might fix this...

hopefully ><

Challenger5

00:06

I guess that's why you should remember how groups work :P

HyperNeutrino

lol yes

that was actually a good joke for once

hey wow good jokes on SE? what? /s

> Spaghetti code: multiple pages of nested if clauses and for loops with a lot of copy-pasted procedural code and no proper segmentation are known as spaghetti code. Python’s meaningful indentation (one of its most controversial features) make it very hard to maintain this kind of code. So the good news is that you might not see too much of it.
Ravioli code is more likely in Python: it consists of hundreds of similar little pieces of logic, often classes or objects, without proper structure. If you never can remember if you have to use FurnitureTable, AssetTable or Table, or even TableNew f…

I need a bit of help: I'm on Linux and I just created a new account and I'm trying to play Minecraft (don't ask why that's the first thing I'm doing :P), but Ctrl+Space is a shortcut to do something (I don't know what), which prevents me from playing. What does that shortcut do, and where can I disable it? For reference, uname -a gives

Phoenix

@HyperNeutrino You could have just said you're on Ubuntu btw, that gives as much useful information as the uname output.

HyperNeutrino

Ctrl+Space doesn't seem to find anything in Global Keyboard Shortcuts - KDE Control Module

I searched with Ctrl and manually looked for anything that looked right.

Is there a way to pad a string with spaces in Python? Kind of like str.zfill but with spaces.

Challenger5

Maybe str.rjust?

HyperNeutrino

Ah, perfect. Thanks.

Challenger5

Sorry, str.ljust().

HyperNeutrino

But why the naming inconsistencies???? why????? for a language that's designed for easy usage...

Thanks. Now that I think of it, str.center was that I needed :P But thanks for the help.

Challenger5

You can pass in another argument for what character to use, as well.

HyperNeutrino

01:47

Ooh. Perfect.

So str.zfill(k, l) is just shorthand for str.rjust(k, l, '0')?

Challenger5

Yes. And you can actually use k.zfill(l) or k.rjust(l, '0') because methods called on objects are just called on the class with implicit self.

HyperNeutrino

True.

Challenger5

I never liked that about Python.

totallyhuman

Is this for paintbrush?

Challenger5

By "that", I mean the fact that "True" is capitalized.

HyperNeutrino

01:53

@totallyhuman no it's for a reference implementation for an upcoming challenge :P

totallyhuman

true = True

HyperNeutrino

I decided to bypass Sandbox this time (which is probably a little bit overconfident of my judgement), but now that I think of it I might want to sandbox it first.

@NathanMerrill I've answered the meta post, but I'm not sure it's really going to help the situation. When a question is that incomprehensible, a comment doesn't add anything to "Unclear".

@WheatWizard Start by exploiting "You may take this input however you like": I'll have a list of digits, please. Then apply algebra: b l=sum(zipWith(*)l[1..])/sum(l)

In fact, even if you take the input as a string that saves three bytes

Mr. Xcoder

I think our definition of prime is wrong: "A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself". That would include 1, since it is only divisible by 1 and 1. We should say: "A prime number is a number that has exactly two positive integer divisors.", IMHO. If you agree, I will edit the tag wiki.

Lynn

Sounds good. Divisors are always integer, if you wanna be golf-y about it

Mr. Xcoder

@Lynn Great, I'll edit the tag wiki then.

Lynn

I wonder how I’d word it…

Mr. Xcoder

I may wrap it between brackets though (such that it is clear): "two positive (integer) divisors".

Done, primes is better now :P

Mr. Xcoder

@Cowsquack It's not like I know APL :)

@Dennis this is a possible hypothesis ;) :P

Erik the Outgolfer

I mean, 05AB1E? MATL? Mathematica? WAT

Mr. Xcoder

Matlab?

Erik the Outgolfer

no matl

it's matlab-based golfing language

of course the other hypothesis is that he's learning languages secretly

Mr. Xcoder

I know, I was just asking if he knows Matlab

Erik the Outgolfer

don't think so (yet...booooo)

Mr. Xcoder

@EriktheOutgolfer Of course, I Know what MATL is.

@EriktheOutgolfer Turns out that wasn't true when you posted it, but now that I've had a look through he's outgolfed on 5 of them, in one case by more than 25%

25% is how many answers aren't by leaky btw

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Minimize my cube Introduction I have a rubiks cube. It has 6 layers and is great fun to solve. But it takes quite some time, and sometimes I wish I could just solve a cube of smaller size. But theres hope, because every cube with even number of layers can emulate every cube with less layers b...

@PeterTaylor hmm...it seems you outgolfed him in golfscript...

I could save a byte if I'm allowed to loop forever: _2:2292={}`

Element is not a markdown-friendly language.

I have to admit that even though he had ~15 answer, this one is amazing.

CMC make code that when run the input will be turned from BF to hexagony

Also is it bad that I cannot write a quine

Cows quack

start with 2d quines, they are easy to write

Mr. Xcoder

And the list was twice the size of my screen :P

@Cowsquack The only quines that are easy to write are the improper ones.

@PeterTaylor Ok I'll do that. Seemed a little unfair. I was already taking as a string though.

I want to make a language with the space operator precedence as my latest challenge (with parentheses allowed), but I also don't want to go trough the pain and the horrible code to make it work :p

(not looking at the fact that I don't know how to make a regular language at all :/)

Q: lastIndexOf in CJam

For the question Find the highest unique digit , here is my answer : 9A,sqfe=W%X#- At the end I am essentially trying to achieve a lastIndexOf. I do that by reversing my array, using indexOf, and subtracting from 9. This adds 4 (9 W % -) extra bytes to get from indexOf to lastIndexOf. Furthe...
