Last time I looked, Martin had 100k rep or so ... did he gain 50k in 6 months? evil! :D

ASCII-only

@Phoenix uh no? you can just http + regex search with any language

totallyhuman

@Phoenix this should be at the bottom of the list

Phoenix

@totallyhuman Let me self-promote in peace, ok.

ASCII-only

Is there any non-eval/exec way to set a global variable in Python given a string name?

yummypasta

11:12 PM

@ASCII-only No, but a dictionary will work for most purposes: stackoverflow.com/questions/1373164/…

ASCII-only

@yummypasta Not for my purpose though

Destructible Lemon

can't you access the dictionary of variables somehow?

HyperNeutrino

@ASCII-only Wrong, it's in the chat feedback room which has been frozen for 334 days.

ASCII-only

@HyperNeutrino Oh lol I thought it would be in sandbox because that's ID 1

@DestructibleLemon Yeah, apparently you can set globals()[name]

hmm i need some way to detect NameErrors before they happen

Q: How do you guys get to know these strange programming languages

I majored in computer science in the area of communication technologies and I fluently speak Python, Java, C, Bash, Matlab, Octave and some others. But you guys know things I have never ever heard about like "Fish" or "R" or "Whitespace" or some kind of crazy things. Sometimes these languages are...

Destructible Lemon

11:21 PM

we did it.

@ASCII-only try?

HyperNeutrino

@ASCII-only lol but apparently not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ xD

@DestructibleLemon do or do not, there is no try

Destructible Lemon

isn't there?

HyperNeutrino

@Adám Do or do not, there is no :Try

(APL)

I was kidding :P maybe should've done /s

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon try -> repeat again -> yeah no way i'm going to run 3k lines multiple times, i'm trying to speed up execution not slow it down :P

HyperNeutrino

What NameErrors?

ASCII-only

11:24 PM

Nothing

I just want true lazy imports

ATaco

That pun was one of my proudest moments on TNB.

Destructible Lemon

wasn't very good

ATaco

:(

totallyhuman

any feedback on the underdeveloped intrnt spec

no pun is good

HyperNeutrino

@totallyhuman it seems very underdeveloped to me...

Destructible Lemon

11:27 PM

@totallyhuman gouda*

totallyhuman

@HyperNeutrino you want me to edit in "very" into the message? :P

HyperNeutrino

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idc :P

Ooh you have a tokenizer. Time to be picky about it

totallyhuman

:P

HyperNeutrino

Ooh you use a regex tokenizer

totallyhuman

yes

ATaco

11:28 PM

@totallyhuman Is "String\nString" a valid string (Where \n is a newline literal?)

HyperNeutrino

Yes.

totallyhuman

^

is why i use [\s\S] instead of .

Destructible Lemon

regex tokeniser!?

totallyhuman

52 secs ago, by totallyhuman

yes

HyperNeutrino

But then escape sequences don't exist.

Destructible Lemon

11:29 PM

but doesn't that make zalgo?

HyperNeutrino

Just use "([^\\"]|\\.)+"

totallyhuman

yes i do want a better string regex

HyperNeutrino

IIRC, that's the regex I use for my tokenizer.

Anyway gtg now o/

totallyhuman

CMC: regex that matches double quoted strings

must account for \"

Destructible Lemon

how do you make regex tokenizer without making zalgo?

totallyhuman

11:30 PM

what zalgo are you talking about

feersum

Why does JS regex think [A-Z^X] matches the character X

Is it stupid?

Destructible Lemon

because noone uses that regex flavour?

I've never seen anyone try to do that

feersum

People who wanted to have regex search in their browser-based tool and didn't want to implement their own regex engine used it.

ATaco

That matches all characters A-Z, ^, and X.

feersum

Wow, it does not have negated classes?

ATaco

11:33 PM

It allows [^anything]

Destructible Lemon

^

ATaco

But not [a^b]

ASCII-only

@feersum >_> not many simple engines have negated classes

Destructible Lemon

@feersum no I meant the weird regex flavour you're trying to use

feersum

I thought most regex engines allowed mixed negation classes, but apparently Python doesn't eithere.

It's supposed to mean A through Z except for X.

Destructible Lemon

11:35 PM

again, never even heard of that feature at any stage for any flavour

totallyhuman

[A-WYZ] would probably work

Destructible Lemon

you'd think I would have if it was so common

totallyhuman

i don't think any flavour allows for that

I think ^ might be slightly valid on meta.

feersum

11:37 PM

Java has a way to do it but the syntax is different.

ASCII-only

PCRE doesn't have that

feersum

[A-Z&&[^X]] in Java (weird, huh?)

Destructible Lemon

yes
