@Pavel you pushed me too far by constantly pinging me to tweet
you forced me to drop the hottest take
i hope you're happy

@quartata I got "errno 2" (Chrome, Android P)
 
Hold on let me ask the oompa loompas what that means
Means window.innerWidth/Height was wrong which is an android thing probs
oh this will be fun
 
I can't repro it anymore, huh
It happened twice and doesn't anymore
 
Does the background play
 
It happens when I do open in a new tab
The background plays, yes
 
; in RAD is driving me insane right now
 
1:07 AM
SO says to use outerWidth/outerHeight on Android but then that'll be too big on other platforms
 
<sarcasm> Have you tried jQuery </sarcasm>
 
no this is in C
Do any mobile browsers fully support WebAudio? I actually don't know

Q: Ex-Increasing Set Sequence

BubblerBackground An ex-increasing set sequence of order \$N\$ is defined as a sequence of integer sets \$S_1,S_2,\cdots,S_n\$ which satisfies the following: Each \$S_i\$ is a non-empty subset of \$\{1,2,\cdots,N\}\$. For \$1\le i<N\$, \$S_i \cap S_{i+1} = \phi\$, i.e. any two consecutive sets have n...

My favorite pastime: Waiting on a plane for two and a half hours for a plane to take off on a 90 minute flight.
 
W W
Waiting can be pretty fun.
It's free time, just you have to stay in one place
 
"The Plane leaves at 7PM, so logically we should be at the airport 3 days in advance."
 
4:16 AM
Never realized that Google Analytics is blocked by default by uBlock
...that makes it pretty useless huh
Doesn't really matter since I can count requests to /i but
 
@Zacharý What does it do? {⍺⍵}?
 
5:22 AM
@Adám So... The apply function, is what that looks like?
 
@primo Congrats on getting the 17 char Fibonacci! It was bugging me that no-one else had got it yet. I wonder if our solutions are more or less the same

Q: Draw the "Cool S"

Beta DecayIntroduction We all know the cool S (also known as Superman S, Stüssy S, Super S, Skater S, Pointy S, Graffiti S etc. etc.): billions of schoolchildren around the world drew this S and immediately felt proud of themselves. In case you've forgotten or had a completely uncool childhood, here is an...

@Pavel No, that's a juxtapose function. It returns a two element list of the left argument and the right argument.

Announcement: Dyalog APL 17.0 is available!
 
@Adám I got it fixed: it's multlayer indexing, same function as in Dyalog, except instead of going by rank, it goes by depth.
 
@Zacharý Dyadic ?
 
@Adám Pretty much, except it cann also do A[1 2;3 4]
 
@Adám already sent my upgrade email :D
 
so what do I do to get it? nvm theres an email
 
1:32 PM
@dzaima if you've got an active non-business license you should've gotten an e-mail (ninja'd)
 
I'll wait until the student competition ends.
 
@Adám How practical would you say APL is for mathematical/physics purposes?
I might give it a go
 
@BetaDecay well it is derived from a paper suggesting a better math notation so I'd expect it to be pretty good (though I haven't used it much for maths only)
 
@BetaDecay Very. Basically, that's the target audience.
 
Oo good
 
1:40 PM
@BetaDecay Iverson created the first APL specification mostly to do maths
 
1:54 PM
Okay I've downloaded Dyalog but how should I configure my keyboard?
 
@BetaDecay OS?
 
nvm I just saw the language bar at the top
 
@BetaDecay :-D
 
@BetaDecay Don't remember how I got it working (I've stopped using windows) but this is what I used
on linux I found this awesome /opt/mdyalog/16.0/64/unicode/aplkeys.sh file and (with a bit modification to use alt) I'm using that (as I couldn't figure out how to get the native keyboard thing to work with the ability to type english chars too)
 
@dzaima Though RIDE's backtick keyboard should just work out of the box.
 
2:16 PM
Test: ⌊_∇⍴∆∆∙ÆØÅ
Nice
 
@BetaDecay Oh, you're using my keyboard?
 
Yeah, just set it up

Q: Get the century of a year

Agile_EagleYour program has to have an year like 1957 to be the input and then output the century of that year. For example: In: 1946 Out: 20 In: 1705 Out: 18 In: 1900 Out: 19 In: 100 Out: 1 In: 2001 Out 20 because 1946 is in the 20th century. Keep in mind that 2000 should be 20th century or 1900 shoul...

Your challenge is, given the locations of two teeth, output the shortest amount of time possible to brush from the first to the second. Challenge For this challenge we will be...

 
Oh boy APL patchnotes
I don't know why, I really like reading patchnotes
@Adám Page 25 of docs.dyalog.com/17.0/… details command line arguments, but I don't really understand it. If -apl allows Dyalog to access arguments, how do you actually get the value of the argument?
:Implements Trigger * are like events right? That's cool.
 
3:56 PM
@Pavel I think dyalog is doing the processing, not you
 
@Pavel same.
 
What's the difference between APL (Dyalog Classic) and APL (Dyalog Unicode) on TIO?
 
@Riker @betseg /r/meormyson/
 
@BetaDecay almost nothing, except you can't use characters not in ⎕AV and it's counted in SBCS bytes instead of unicode
 
@quartata The picture on your site clips below the site's "box" and I don't know if it's intentional or not: i.imgur.com/1OuDhAw.png
 
4:03 PM
and it also does I/O weirdly
 
@BetaDecay hey beta, long time no see!
 
Hey! I'm back now
 
@Pavel oh so you're the one who keeps refreshhing
it doesn't do that for me on Chrome
 
@dzaima I see. I was counting bytes in UTF-8 before
 
@quartata I mean, I refreshed twice just now. I wouldn't say I "keep refreshing" though.
 
4:04 PM
no I just mean I was watching the logs just now
can I see a full screenshot of the page
 
@quartata 1280x720 screen, Chrome on Windows, Version 67.0.3396.99
 
@BetaDecay that is great:)
 
The joys of never having to go to school anymore
 
is twitter blocked for you
 
Nope
 
4:07 PM
(Note: Scrollbar)
 
yeah I see
it's the funny aspect ratio most likely
 
Actually, screen is technically 1920x1080 with 150% scaling, IDK how important that is
 
and by funny I mean not mine
 
It's less broken with 125% scaling and "normal" with 100% scaling
 
i dont do css so I just told it height: 40% and assumed that wouldn't overflow
getting images to fit is literally impossible even if you're willing to use object-fit which I'm not
 
4:10 PM
Can you specify a position from the bottom instead of the top?
 
oh, yeah probably
only trouble now is aligning the text
 
4:24 PM
A conversation I just overheard between two of my coworkers, one in Azure and the other in Microsoft Research:
Azure guy: You should join in the company Hackathon with me! You can just, make whatever you want for a week, it's great.
Microsoft Research guy: Oh yeah? I work on whatever I want year-round.

ok so thhis CSS will eventually cover up the text if you shrink the window small enough but I don't care, it adds to the Charm

Someone leaked Apples internal repair videos. Suffice to sat that their special tools are a bit over-engineered: youtu.be/MGv7qHlCX0Y?t=157 (watch the next 30s or so)
 
@mınxomaτ on the one hand, that's super over-engineered, haha. on the other hand, would you rather some dude carelessly poppin' batteries into your phone or a process like this?
surely you can still be careless with that little machine
but it's harder to screw something up
 
I love how the give ordinary things fancy names. Like a piece of (literal) foam that slots between iMac stand and back. It a "service wedge". Probably $99 a piece.
 
@mınxomaτ That's actually really cool
 
Interesting from a tech view is the 3D Touch calibration: youtube.com/watch?v=8doQPFpZ2Ek
 
9:02 PM
@Zacharý Why is it funny that RIDE's backtick keyboard works out of the box?
 
9:24 PM
part of the reason linux never took off on the desktop back in the 00s is because of open source guys who said gimp was as good as photoshop and that tux racer was a fun game both were absolutely huge lies!!!!!!!!! you guys lied!!!!!!!!!
I have never felt more seen
apologies to everyone I lied to
@Pavel deployed CSS """"fix'
 
@quartata Tux Racer is a fun game though
I probably have like at least a couple dozen hours in it
@quartata Text is gone now
 
9:39 PM
too bad
what is this a screen for ants
if you can CSS then by all means suggest a fix. but I cant use flexboxes or object-fit though because the browser support is so bad
 
What's your specification?
 
the image literally just needs not to clip out of the box
and the text should be there, i dont care how its positioned really
I guess what I should have done is absolute positioning on the span and not the img
but at this point CSS has won, I give up
 
@quartata are you supporting like IE6 flexbox is supported in most things and has been for a while now
 
@Downgoat IE11 doesn't even support flexboxes perfectly so I'm not sure what you mean
i've said this anecdote before but only two devices in my entire house support flexboxes
 
@quartata I doubt your usecase would encounter those issues
 
9:44 PM
You can certainly do it without flexboxes if that's what's needed. Which browsers do you need to support?
 
This is a fundamental layout thing so I'd like it if it worked basically anywhere
but really at this point it doesn't matter
at least the image shows up, I'm satisfied
it's a joke website
 
Why, pylint. Unused import FOO from wildcard import is a stupid warning.
 
You still don't want it to look the wrong kind of funny...
 
It's a wildcard import. I'm not gonna use the entire package.
 
@Adám That was supposed to be a reply to the post above the "lol" ("Undisplayable Network Questions?").
 
10:26 PM
ok my latest tweet is actually a true story
bernie sanders showed up on my following list and I never followed him
how did this happen
who did this
 
I thought you meant Bernie Sanders followed you and was extremely confused
 
@quartata you live in california right?
so it was probably the spirit of california
 
bad news for him, is he is simply not Left enough anymore to be on my Council
into the recycle bin
 
@quartata are you an ancom by any chance
 
ancom?
 
10:33 PM
i don,t own an .com domain sorry
only .biz because i am All Business
 
10:55 PM
Our school finally figured out how to block Powershell.
:-(
 
why though
 
Because people like me and my friends exist :p.
 
I don't know about you but there's no way I could get any work done on a Windows machine without at minimum PowerShell, if not Git Bash
 
I've used PowerShell on Linux and Windows, and Bash on Windows and Linux, and here's what I've observed: PS on Linux > Bash on Linux > Bash on Windows > PS on Windows
 
you actually use powershell on linux
 
11:07 PM
Yes
It's my main shell
And I like it
Took me forever to get sudo working the way I wanted it to though
 
11:32 PM
I really like PS on Windows
I like posh-git a lot, and the tab completion is far better than any other shell I've used, and it's easy to write functions for new stuff
I did change the tab completion to show entries instead of iterating one-by-one
but the fact that parameters are tab-completable is great
@Pavel I didn't realize you work at microsoft. Are you in Redmond? Which team?
your profile says yes to Redmond :)
 
I believe he's on an internship with the Q# team
 
ah, he must be getting bombarded with emails then
there are a bunch of people interested in the quantum stuff for the hackathon
