It's very not accurate; more so than I thought on my initial reading.

I lost a point on my linear algebra test on a question where I wrote that "a set of vectors is linearly independent if any of the vectors can be formed as a linear combination of the others" and the only annotation was the word 'any' crossed out with the word 'one' written under it
And I'm a bit salty because I can't think of how those words can possibly convey different meaning in that context
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
@Pavel You should've written "each".
"any" is, from what I can tell, a synonym of "all".
You write for each, not for all.
 
Pavel

There's a difference between 'any of the vectors' and 'any vector' and I think you're thinking of the latter

@Pavel my understanding is: "any of the vectors" means ∀x P(x) and "one of the vectors" means ∃x P(x)
"some vector" would also be ok for ∃x P(x)
 
Pavel
Pavel
"any one of the vectors" works also
just to be extra confusing

@wizzwizz4 just that message. i should have written something like:
she was asking questions about it and seeking alternative ways around it, for instance when the chosen pronoun is the grammatically awkward "they", she wanted to always refer to people by username. (monica has no issues with "he"/"she" not matching the biological sex.) she was never rude and didn't break any rules afaict, yet she was demodded right there and then.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
@ngn I think you can delete it yourself.
And, minor nitpick: "biological sex" is ill-defined (and somewhat charged); I think you're referring to "birth sex", and it might be clearer to use that instead going forward.
 
ngn
ngn
agreed
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
It's not entirely accurate, but it's pretty close.
Wanting to always refer to people by username was just one proposal (I think it was the current one as of the demodding, but I'm not sure), and the whole concept of "rules" was pretty messy by that point, but apart from that it seems accurate.

Hi there
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
@TwilightSparkle Hello!
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Well
How to encode the decoder in the 1+ quine project?
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
10:50 AM
Which?
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
11:02 AM
Which I'm currently doing a quine.
One main approach would be
push a huge number encoding the decoder and
the decoder part:
Divide top of stack by 256, Output remainder, push quotient, then do it over again until the number becomes zero.
However dividing is very tricky in 1+...
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Can't you just count the number of times you have to add 256 in order to get the value?
This implements divmod.
(Of course, you have to add 256 by repeated addition of 1.)
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Hmmmm...
That would be still hard.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
You'd need #s up to the largest number you support, I think.
 
user202729
user202729
Do try to make the quine run reasonably quick. The brain-flak quine is (or used to be) very slow.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
This would not be a small program.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
11:09 AM
@wizzwizz4 Obviously, it would not be a small program.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Well, there are alternate strategies that might be shorter, I think.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
It probably won't even fit in the observable universe like the Bflak quine used to be.
@wizzwizz4 I'm just trying to do it the easy way.
@user202729 Making it is already very hard.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Your easy way seems to require 256^n # characters to represent n characters.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
@wizzwizz4 Why using #s?
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Unless you can cheat with a number-to-bits converter.
@TwilightSparkle I can't find a comparison operator.
 
TwilightSparkle

11:12 AM

wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Oh, that makes things so much easier.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
The doc is a bit misleading though
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
I think I'm going to make 1+-, which doesn't have <.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
@wizzwizz4 I don't think it's possible to program in 1+-
Because then we won't have any conditionals

Getting back to the topic...

I'd focus first on writing a program to translate numbers to the symbols used in 1+.
That will cut down on the size massively.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Well...
 
wizzwizz4

11:18 AM
By that, I mean translate small numbers to the symbols used in 1+.

I like INTERCAL's comment style, that only works because "note that" starts with "not" and disabled instructions don't get parsed.

There are three commands, +*< which decreases the number of elements in the stack by 1.
 
A _
A _
Idea: recycle the top of the stack: 1<
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
@A_ Recycle?
 
A _
A _
I mean evaluating to the second-top-to stack using some kind of expression.
So an operation (a,b) evaluates to a. (I don't know how to make one fron +, *, and < though.)
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
11:26 AM
oh...

So can the top of the stack be multiplied by 0? (a+b*0 will reduce to a)

How dumb I am! I'm thinking about ways to get rid of 0...

@TwilightSparkle That would be harder to decode because you'd need two loop, while this way you only need one, outputting 1+ each iteration.
Looks easy enough.

@user202729 Yeah yeah how did I forgot about "<+? I always forgot these sort of things...
It's not possible to have shorter solutions...

You have to detect whether you have reached a 2 (The current edge of the tape)
or not
@A_ So now I did 20% of the work, as the ,. instructions are not relevant .
 
A _

Or a circular tape. Just make sure that the user does not try to access a cell on the edge of the tape.
 
TwilightSparkle

Well...
Is BoolF TC within a circular tape?

You left and came back a few minutes ago.
 
wizzwizz4

I think I've figured out a way of implementing BoolF's <>[] in 1+.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
@wizzwizz4 Hmmmm.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Store a 2 as tape boundary, and have a dispatch for inserting a new 0 into the tape every time < or > is used.
This dispatch is on a new line, so # is easier.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
oh.
So push 2 0 2 first
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
[]… my idea only works for non-nested, but it can be modified to work for the general case via extra addition.
Actually, extra addition is needed anyway.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
11:59 AM
obviously.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Ooh, ooh! < and > can be in functions.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
I failed to [push original topic]#.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
But, anyway, [ and ] are both ""1<#, modulo the addition required to get the right #s.
@TwilightSparkle Okay, okay, you can talk about quines. :-p
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Ah, sorry.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
No problem. I'm done with that train of thought. Quines it is.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
12:01 PM
Quines it is.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
I'm thinking you can just have a number repr and a number-as-code translator, and then just have [number]"[repr][code].
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Push a really big number.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
The number represents the code.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Yes...
Seriously there is something wrong with my computer...
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
All numbers in 1+ can be written in binary, most significant bit first, with 1 as 1 and 11+1< as zero, with digits separated by 11+* – not the most efficient method, but easy to program.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
12:06 PM
Yes...
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
So the [repr] section is easy, and you just need to implement the [code] section.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Ofc that will save a ton of bytes.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Which is why you wanted base 256?
It'd probably be easier to use base 8, and reduce the number of symbols you're allowed.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Hmmmmmm...
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Then set up a dispatch from base 8 to "print the right symbol".
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
12:08 PM
I want to do the unary version first, then do the one-loop version, then do the binary version, then do the small-base version.
So we can "save" a lot of bytes.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
Sounds like a plan.
How would unary work?
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Push number like:
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
It's impossible to make a quine in 1+ without looping constructs, by the way.

@wizzwizz4 Obviously.
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
@wizzwizz4 Obviously.
 
wizzwizz4
wizzwizz4
So what's the one-loop version?
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
No, one-loop does not mean one loop over all
It means one-loop to print the pushed number
It means
 
user202729
user202729
I guess it's possible to do it with only one loop, but it probably isn't as easy as my method...
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
12:11 PM
To push the data instead of a lot of 1 plus a lot of +
You can 1 followed by a lot of 1+
and then because this is a quine you have to output that part of code
 
user202729
user202729
(that's what I said originally...)
 
TwilightSparkle
TwilightSparkle
Yes...
By one-loop version I mean that...
 
user202729

Also: I think that the dispatch table idea will definitely result in shorter code.

Well, we've cleared the sad stuff off the transcript – might want to increase the signal-to-noise ratio a tad.

Q: How to find Fibonacci series of a1z,b2y,c3z,...,...,...,nnn as output in C using while loop?

user12153611The series is mixed with multicharacters as well as integer, so What will be the code to print the output? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ int fi='a1z'; while(fi<=26) { if(fi>=97||fi<=122||fi>=1) { printf("%c","%d",fi); } fi++; } return 0; } I tried t...

@wizzwizz4 I'd special-case code(0)..code(2), then recursively define higher code(n) as code(n-1)+"1+" if n is odd and code(n/2)+"11+*" if n is even.

@Neil I don't think you can do that in 1+.
Oh, wait – you're abstracting, and not actually talking about the subroutine syntax.

@Mego Well, they can't say I didn't try.
Maybe they just wanted slow, hard-to-understand code?

But I can say they didn't try :P

@wizzwizz4 Based on my experiences with the rest of their code, I'm inclined to believe this one

My favorite one so far is still:

const mappedData = data.reduce((acc, x) => ({...acc, [x.id]: x}), {})

// several lines later

const id = 'something'
const datum = Object.values(mappedData).find(x => x.id === id)

What.
Do they really need a job all that much?

No, we fired the contractors not long after I discovered these gems and many others

I bet they were going to try to sell you speed improvements afterwards.

Instead I wiped their crappy code off of our git history and rewrote most of it myself
