The Nineteenth Byte

Well, tan is just sin / cos, so it shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Zacharý

Yeah, I just don't want inaccuracies when a real argument is given.

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing I guess you have the basic ones, inverse trigs, hyperbolics, inverse hyperbolics, complex trigs...?

Zacharý

Then again, 1i≢1i*1 currently in RAD.

@Mr.Xcoder (reciprocals too if you don't count them in "basic")

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder cos, sin and tan normal, inverse, hyperbolic, hyperbolic inverse, complex, complex inverse, complex hyperbolic, complex hyperbolic inverse, than all that for sec, csc and cot

Zacharý

Do you have an atan2?

caird coinheringaahing

21:03

Sorry, 49 because of arctan2

Zacharý

ninja'd ... I think?

caird coinheringaahing

Kinda

Luckily, there isn't a complex arctan2, so I don't hit 50

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing If you have so many angle functions, please also add rad to deg and deg to rad

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Yeah, got those

Mr. Xcoder

And also cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates could be helpful sometimes

caird coinheringaahing

21:11

Although, if you're suggesting versions of each of those which take rad rather than deg, I might add those later

Mr. Xcoder

No I was just thinking about 2 functions for the conversions

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Yeah, added those as well. I just remembered to add sec, csc and cot, which sparked adding the complex versions

Zacharý

@cairdcoinheringaahing 100 trig functions ...

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Thought so :P

@Zacharý 98. 100 is too many, 98 is fine :P

Zacharý

@cairdcoinheringaahing Ah, yeah.

caird coinheringaahing

21:13

I'm not completely insane :P

Zacharý

Why not add crd and crd^-1?

caird coinheringaahing

crd?

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing If you're German though, 98 > 100 (Acht und Neunzig is way longer than Hundert) :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Zacharý The documentation is hell though :/

Zacharý

@cairdcoinheringaahing Chord length...

Dennis

21:15

@Mr.Xcoder That's Acht und Neunzig though.

Mr. Xcoder

Close to Germany so I thought the joke was appropriate :P

@Dennis I thought about 89 for some reason, fixed now

caird coinheringaahing

@Zacharý Haven't heard of it in school, I can pretend it doesn't exist :P

Zacharý

@cairdcoinheringaahing If you do that: then basically nothing fun exists.

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder They speak german in Austria as well

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Thanks, Sherlock! :P

Dennis

21:17

I speak German everywhere. :P

caird coinheringaahing

I can try to speak German everywhere, but normally get funny looks :(

Mr. Xcoder

And just the other day I told my parents not to make this mistake when talking in German

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Sorry, that was condescending (from me)

Zacharý

@Dennis Obviously not, you have to teach in Spanish, no?

Mr. Xcoder

No it wasn't, I was just joking too :) NP

Dennis

21:19

Everywhere, not all the time.

Erik the Outgolfer

that's implied by the Present Simple tense and the lack of always ;-)

Dennis

@Mr.Xcoder German simply has that part backwards. Even confuses native speakers.

Mr. Xcoder

In the meantime, I noticed that surprisingly few Germans and Austrians know (a decent amount of) English in the regions I've visited so far

That was a bit weird at first tbh

Zacharý

siebenhundertsiebenundsiebzig

Why must that be one word?

Dennis

Everything is one word in German.

@Mr.Xcoder Every skill requires practice. I read, write, and hear English every day, but I haven't had a conversation in English in over a decade.

Zacharý

21:22

@Dennis No ... that's Inuktitut.

When referring to noun (phrases) it seems that everything is one word in German.

As you wish

Typo, typo, typo!

Keyboards are hard while eating chinese food

Mr. Xcoder

And I've also noticed that, although in Schengen, they've reintroduced checks when crossing the border between Austria and Germany for vehicles coming from Eastern European countries

caird coinheringaahing

@cairdcoinheringaahing I've googled that so many times, it's my first suggestion when I enter "d"

Mr. Xcoder

Have to admit it's even longer in English, but it's split into multiple words at least

Zacharý

@Mr.Xcoder Yeah, that's kind of a good thing, no?

caird coinheringaahing

21:29

To be fair, it's nowhere near the longest word

Mr. Xcoder

IMO it is a good thing, hence the at least

The longest word in German surely doesn't fit in a Wikipedia title

Zacharý

@Mr.Xcoder Nor does the one in English (that chemical)

caird coinheringaahing

That is the longest German word, just not the longest word in any language

Zacharý

Lol, that Ancient Greek word though.

Downgoat

anyone here use M2Crypto in Python before?

they are no docs which is weird considering it's a popular library

Mr. Xcoder

21:33

@Zacharý I think they are already exaggerating with that one. Who needs a word that is literally close to impossible to pronounce in less than 3 hours?

Downgoat

I have need to sign with PKCS#7 cert with S/MIME but I have no idea what type of BIO buffer the SMIME.sign() method takes

Zacharý

@EriktheOutgolfer: people from Greece were responsible for this: λοπᾰδοτεμᾰχοσελᾰχογᾰλεοκρᾱνιολειψᾰνοδρῑμῠποτριμμᾰτοσιλφῐοκᾱρᾰβομελῐτοκᾰτᾰκεχῠμεν‌οκιχλεπῐκοσσῠφοφαττοπεριστερᾰλεκτρῠονοπτοκεφαλλιοκιγκλοπελειολᾰγῳοσῐραιοβᾰφητρᾰγᾰ‌νοπτερῠ́γων

ಠ_ಠ I tried to compress Donau... with Orst's string compression. It yielded a string of 3 bytes, which decompressed into љ₋'

Zacharý

@Mr.Xcoder, the Ancient Greek word above actually was used in a piece of literature...

@cairdcoinheringaahing Can it decompress successfully?!

caird coinheringaahing

@Zacharý Doesn't look like it. I fault the compression function

Zacharý

21:36

@cairdcoinheringaahing ._.

caird coinheringaahing

It is built for English words

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing :S RIP. At least it's not hard to implement

Zacharý

I should probably come up with all the escapes now, and then implement them so you don't have to memorize the codepoint if you want to type a RAD symbol in ASCII.

Mr. Xcoder

@Zacharý Remind me not to read that. (Not that I'd understand it written in Greek, to be clear)

caird coinheringaahing

The problem with the compression is that if it doesn't recognise the word, it thinks it's a character in the Orst code page. As it isn't, it yields -1, rather than a positive integer to work with :/

Zacharý

21:39

@Mr.Xcoder It's just a bunch of words for ingredients, if I remember correctly.

You know a language has long words when it starts to break Zipf's law constantly since so many words are only used once.

@Adám, how do you type ‽ on your computer?

Erik the Outgolfer

I guess he just uses something called the compose key...

Zacharý

He has his own keyboard setup (software, not hardware), IIRC,

caird coinheringaahing

22:05

I'm glad I tried to compress Donau... cause it pointed out two major flaws in my compressor :P

Zacharý

@cairdcoinheringaahing What were those two?

caird coinheringaahing

@Zacharý It included string terminators in the compressed string (" and ' among others) and was compressing to base 510, instead of base 503

Zacharý

@cairdcoinheringaahing Why to base 503?

caird coinheringaahing

The compressed string can have 503 possible characters in it, as it can't have any of ”“„'’‘`°" (string syntax characters)

I love how, once a bug has been fixed, I'm all "Ah, well that was good - I fixed a bug", whereas during the fixing, I threatened to destroy my computer at least twice and yelled at my dog :(

Erik the Outgolfer

22:24

lol take a break

caird coinheringaahing

@EriktheOutgolfer Nah, that's perfectly normal.. right? Besides, already have, made myself a cup of tea, gone back to the trig functions :/

Erik the Outgolfer

at least I don't yell towards computers and animals :P

caird coinheringaahing

My dog has been yelled at so many times while I'm coding that he just sleeps through it. My computer doesn't have feelings (I hope)

Q: Split a list into sized chunks, but not counting items failing predicate

Motivation: Sometimes certain items in a list don't count towards your totals. For example, counting plane passengers in rows, where babies sit on a parent's laps. Challenge: write a program to split a list of items into chunks. Each chunk (except possibly the last) is the same size, where size ...

Q: Include characters or just bytes?

I'm using javascript as a golfing language. I've just noticed that the number of characters used in a program may differ from the number of bytes that program takes (due to text encoding?). For example, TIO says that the number of characters in this answer is 101 whereas the number of bytes is 11...

Erik the Outgolfer

@xnor you probably meant "positive integers" here :P

Can we assume the list items are single characters? Or, say, numbers? — xnor 2 mins ago

is anyone here familiar with pyOpenSSL

or really python FFI in general

a pyOpenSSL takes a BIO*, does anyone know how I could setup a bio to a python file instance
