Should there be a "bad gateway" error?

I've made a realization: I'm excellent at golfing java because there's usually no way to golf java, making the obvious way the shortest

@thecoder16 that's incorrect

think i screwed up this post

not funny or allegorical enough. should have gone back to the copyeditor

@Mego Jython is actually cool because you can use Swing from it

Beats Tk for sure

Downgoat

@quartata this is not a pro this is a con

real solution is VSL which has cocoa bindings

(also doesn't have dynamic memory but that's besides the point)

@Downgoat OK, how about JavaFX?

You may not like Java the core language or its patterns but its standard library is good

Downgoat

@quartata java core lang is fine but standard library is too bloat

@quartata ew

quartata

I don't think that's a bad thing in a standard library at all

Downgoat

maybe it's bearable if you use a heavy IDE

but I am not fan of heavy IDE

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Escaping the imperial forces This is actually a programming exercise from my college. Hope you like it Our heroes, aboard the Millennium Falcon and trusting Han Solo's expertise, are trying to escape the rebel forces. To confuse the imperial forces, Han Solo wants to enter an asteroid field. ...

Q: Check my tunneling arrays

Imagine you have an array of integers, whose positive values are pointers to other positions in the same array, only that those values represent tunnels, so if the value in position A is positive and points to position B, then the value in position B must be also positive and point to position A ...

Q: Simulate an NFA

A nondeterministic finite automaton is a finite state machine where a tuple \$(state,symbol)\$ is mapped to multiple states. Ie. we replace the usual \$\delta : Q \times \Sigma \to Q\ \$ transition function of a DFA with another function \$\Delta : Q \times \Sigma \to \mathcal{P}(Q)\$. If you kn...

@thecoder16 aren't you supposed to reverse the order of all of the quantifiers?

thecoder16

am i? i always write x = [int(i) for i in x] so i kinda just went from there...

oops

my brain truly fried

Erik the Outgolfer

@thecoder16 um...I don't think you can read the value of an undefined variable

for example, d is only defined after the first for loop

regardless of how old it is, Zacharý has been contributing way before the "New contributor" indicator

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah, Zacharý is indeed a new contributor over there

trichoplax

It took me a few moments to realise it isn't broken, it's just that Zacharý hasn't posted to meta before, so is technically a new user despite much experience

Erik the Outgolfer

I believe this is status-bydesign, as meta and main are two different communities, just with the same users whose reputation on meta is the same as on main and can't be affected there

trichoplax

I agree - there are differences in meta so it's worth knowing who is new to it even if they are already established members of the community. I just hadn't thought of it until seeing this so I had a moment of complete confusion...

Erik the Outgolfer

the difference isn't immediately apparent, but think of it like this: meta is a community about itself and its respective main, while main is the community about its actual topic

Python list comprehension solves edge cases beautifully intuitively and I can’t believe it

CMP: Which of your answers on this site do you a) believe got more upvotes than was worth and b) didn't get nearly as many upvotes as it was worth?

AdmBorkBork

a) easily this one ... b) maybe this one, or any of my near-100 0-point answers, lol

Erik the Outgolfer

I just hope b) != self-promotion

trichoplax

My b) is on a closed question so I don't mind sharing as it can't be voted on

Poke

a) I remember thinking this one got a lot more votes than I expected

my b's would all be self promotions

so just go look at my answers

AdmBorkBork

7:33 PM

Of course it's self-promotion. I just hope that people here are understanding enough to recognize that it's not an attempt for "plz send teh updoots, lol"

Poke

my b's would be an attempt for more updoots, lol

plz send

Erik the Outgolfer

@trichoplax answers on closed questions can perfectly be voted on...

trichoplax

@EriktheOutgolfer You're absolutely right - I mixed up. It's also locked, which is what prevents the voting

thecoder16

@trichoplax so are you going to post it or not? :P

Erik the Outgolfer

@AdmBorkBork that's what I hope...

7:38 PM

(Btw, my a) is any answer of mine with a nonnegative score...)

trichoplax

Actually my b) has far more votes than I expected, so it's not undervoted, just has much less votes than my a) on the same challenge, which was one of the less interesting answers and massively overvoted for being early. a) and b) ( b) was the work of 5 people and took far more effort and I think looks better)

AdmBorkBork

I just got a notification bar stating "It is too late to undo this request." Anyone else?

trichoplax

Not here. Chat or main?

AdmBorkBork

Chat. Weird.

trichoplax

You weren't trying to unstar something?

AdmBorkBork

7:39 PM

I don't even know what I'd be undoing.

Last thing I starred was DJ's marriage announcement, but I didn't try to unstar that.

trichoplax

(in another sense, all my answers are overvoted - thanks voters)

AdmBorkBork

I'll blame DJ anyway, since he arrived in chat about the same time I got the notification. Thanks, DJ!

trichoplax

Actually, looking at my answers page, I do have a massively overvoted answer with 1 upvote. As a trivial self answer to a broken challenge, it definitely didn't deserve a positive score

@cairdcoinheringaahing It is a bit cumbersome. Click the link in the post, paste the code in, and click Generate Graph!. Open your browsers inspector and copy the svg element to a file. Then use a conversion utility to convert the svg to a png. Then put it in the post.
