Esolanging Fruit

@Pavel The religion, or the proposal for it?

Pavel

Both?

Esolanging Fruit

The religion was created in protest of the teaching of intelligent design in schools.

"If you're going to teach intelligent design, you might as well also teach about the theory that a giant spaghetti monster subtly alters our perceptions to create the illusion of the scientifically consistent reality that we observe, because both ideas are equally plausible"

Flying Spaghetti Monster

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Pastafarianism. Pastafarianism (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarianism) is a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools. According to adherents, Pastafarianism is a "real, legitimate religion, as much as any other". It is legally recognized as a religion in the Netherlands and New Zealand – where Pastafarian representatives have been authorized to celebrate weddings and where the first legall...

> I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; one third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.

Pavel

I already knew that, but I'm still not quite sure.

@ASCII-only bower is also a package manager, and they found a reason. i dunno.

@recursive but bower uses npm?

@recursive also bower is for web modules?

recursive

4:38 AM

afaik it does not use package.json

ASCII-only

@recursive well of course? bower is for modules on webpages, not node modules

recursive

it's just an example of something that uses something other than package.json

ASCII-only

@recursive yeah but we're looking for npm alternatives

recursive

Many packages on npm are for web pages.

Anyway, I've used it a little, and yarn seems good. That's all.

ASCII-only

@recursive Sure, but not all, and not all web-related packages are on npm...

recursive

4:40 AM

Not all of anything is on anything. I wasn't trying to say anything controversial.

ASCII-only

@recursive yes, I'm just saying bower doesn't have most npm modules so it's not really an alternative to npm

recursive

I wasn't promoting it as an npm alternative, but as a javascript package manager that does not use package.json, only to prove that such a thing is possible.

ASCII-only

@recursive Of course... but that isn't what we're talking about

recursive

ok, then i'm off topic. i'll stop now.

ASCII-only

@recursive Also, it doesn't use package.json because the registry is really different

Basically so you can use bower and npm/yarn at the same time

Pavel

4:43 AM

Doesn't yarn use npm under the hood

ASCII-only

@Pavel probably not since it's faster?

Downgoat

@Pavel Kinda sorta ish

@ASCII-only what yarn actually does is it downloads every yarn module on your computer so it just needs to copy it locally rather than download iirc

ASCII-only

@Downgoat yes. but i'm sure yarn install is faster too

like as in it doesn't spend a million years walking dependency tree

@ASCII-only this is why knowing CS beyond how to install react™ is important

I tried npm i -g react and it failed

Naturally

Downgoat

@ASCII-only believe it or not, some dont know what a link tag is

because they actually load CSS using react

i wish i was joking

react is the new jquery except this time react knows your ssn

Pavel

wat

how does that even

and how does it know your ssn

Downgoat

@Pavel because companies like google are passing your ssn around through react

and its 10000 dependencies, 9999 of which are probably run by sketchy npm accounts who can replace a dependency with a malicious one and no one would ever know

Pavel

17 total deps, including react itself

Downgoat

that is because you haven't loaded babel/babel-polyfill yet

MCVE please.

(this is not Stack Overflow right?)

What is self.__dict__["_fn"]? What is Jagony_Object?

Zacharý

THe problem is ... I have NO IDEA what's causing the error, you can follow the bitbucket link.

user202729

Answer my question ^^ please.

Zacharý

I just want to ask in case I missed something utterly stupid.

self.__dict__["fn"] is the string-function of a Jagony_Object (or anything descended from it). It basically handles transpilation into Python

user202729

(as in this case, either the lambda: or the self.__dict__["_fn"] is the problematic one)

Is lambda: self.__dict__["_fn"](p) parsed as (lambda: self.__dict__["_fn"])(p) (obviously an error) or lambda: (self.__dict__["_fn"](p)) in Python?

ASCII-only

@Zacharý pls don't use __dict__ as property name...

user202729

5:13 AM

The latter.

Zacharý

It's accessing the __dict__ directly, it's not the property name

ASCII-only

@Zacharý the problem is simple... your lambda doesn't take an argument...

user202729

But why not just self._fn?

ASCII-only

@Zacharý hmm pls don't

Zacharý

Which lambda?!

user202729

5:14 AM

@ASCII-only That's not the problem.

(I'm not sure, what does Jagony_Object do with its second argument?)

ASCII-only

@user202729 it is...

Zacharý

@user202729 Sets the ._fn property to it.

@ASCII-only I have to (at least sometimes): Jagony_Object creates properties upon reference if they are not available.

ASCII-only

@Zacharý but ._fn should always be there...

Zacharý

I thought it would go in an infinite loop.

ASCII-only

@Zacharý __getattr__ is only called if the property isn't found...

@Zacharý plus what stops __dict__ from becoming an infinite loop...

I just have to reboot computer to Windows just to copy a file to an android...

I made a simple script compressor for Pepe some time ago, but it has a lot of repeating characters. Pepe uses a separator for commands and it is required in the compressed code, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to differentiate them. Any ideas how can I improve it? ex. REeE REeE RE REEEEE Reee is compressed to ZdZdZ3Z1sZ8. You can see the amount of "Z" in the compressed string... ._.

Also note that there are two different separators: R and r, which are compressed into Z and z.

What are you currently doing?

That's too vague to even try to suggest how to improve.

(Arithmetic encoding? Base95?)

@Soaku Do you have a target character set? printable ascii? SBCS? letters?

Soaku

@recursive Printable ASCII that are valid in URL

what are languages that claim to be really fast other than c/c++/nim/fortran and rust?

Q: Calculate the Hafnian as quickly as possible

The challenge is to write the fastest code possible for computing the Hafnian of a matrix. The Hafnian of a symmetric 2n-by-2n matrix A is defined as: Here S2n represents the set of all permutations of the integers from 1 to 2n, that is [1, 2n]. The wikipedia link also gives a different loo...

I think assembly would be hard...but feel free to give it a go

I suppose one could take compiled C and tweak the assembly by hand

or just implement a function in assembly and call it from C

oh god. a site i help run is in the crossfire of routing problems. This'll be fun.

Every command is an R or r followed by string of E's and e. Right now, I'm splitting the string on r's, with them in the result (REErEE is REE and rEE). Every R/r is changed into Z/z. E's are changed into binary. (E = 1, e = 0) and converted into base 35. This way commands cannot collide and every character in [0-9a-z] is used. I could make use of uppercase letters too, but what with the numbers?

@recursive

You can try putting random code into the text box on soaku.github.io/Pepe and see what is the result.

updated question with a call

there must be other fast languages

~~the R16K1S60 is fast. Grand total of 60 clock cycles per second!!!1!!1!11~~

I am disappointed pypy + python is so much slower than haskell
