Q: System-defined short forms for function-option combinations in Mathematica?

Several Mathematica functions have system-defined short forms, e.g., /@ for Map. Many of them are listed here: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/OperatorInputForms.html However, there also exist some system-defined short forms for function-option combinations. E.g., Log2@ninstead ...

code-golf

user

p#[]=const p
p#('`':t)=p#t.not
p#(h:t)=\c->((p++[x|x<-[h],c])#t)c

That last part should be a lot more short and elegant, but I can't find it :(

@user No

@Wezl tacit solution in nib: (=: "`" (^^:({!= /:0) or: /) not repeat: /)

can't convert it to APL because I don't know how to use dyadic / in a train

user

12:17 AM

@Wezl Maybe one of these?

ngn

@Wezl why do you need it in apl?

Wezl

@ngn I don't, but it's the array language I know the most

@ngn ooh this is interesting. Splitting is OP :P

Adám

@user Not only unnecessary; it prevents it from working.

user

12:26 AM

Oh lol

Oh wait I meant ⍣≡

ngn

@Wezl "OP"?

user

Still unnecessary, I guess

Adám

Yeah.

Wezl

@ngn overpowered.

user

Do any Haskellers know how to use combinators for the fourth line here?

Lambdas are ugly

Wezl

12:28 AM

can you paste it please (sorry)

user

f :: [Char] -> Bool -> [Char] -> [Char]
f[]=flip const
f('`':t)=f t.not
f(h:t)=(\c p->f t c(p++[x|x<-[h],c]))
g x=f x(0<1)[]

I've been trying to use <*> without success

Wezl

I don't even know what <*> does :/

user

It's the S combinator (for (->)r)

Adám

@Wezl Golfed: {⍵/⍨(⊢⍱≠\)'`'=⍵}

@Wezl Not necessary: {⍵/⍨m⍱≠\m←'`'=⍵}

user

Backticks are hard

Adám

12:31 AM

Not really, unless you need to write `\

Wezl

@Adám I was at exactly that, but ngn/apl doesn't like /⍨

Adám

@Wezl Right, I also found that. Any particular reason you're using ngn/apl?

Wezl

@Adám no other APLs support my platform. But you're probably right I should stop using APL :D

user

tryapl's online too

Adám

@Wezl What is your platform?

Wezl

12:33 AM

@user slower

caird coinheringaahing

@NewPosts I get the feeling that this could very justifiably spawn a meta discussion about the site scope

@hyper-neutrino Can mods attach custom notices to challenges, without having to lock them? I seem to remember this being a thing

Wezl

12:36 AM

@Adám Chrome os + constraints

Adám

@Wezl You reminded me that my boss wanted to have a closer look at why TryAPL is so slow.

hyper-neutrino

I'm reluctant to use my hammer here. But list questions are typically off-scope.

user

I'm not sure it'd be on-topic on Mathematica because it asks for shorter functions. Do they allow that kind of thing?

@hyper-neutrino Current event maybe?

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing ^^^ oh would you look at that, my tools are once again restrictive and don't trust me to make decisions for what to do and don't apply to CGCC. LOL

user

None of those notices are great

hyper-neutrino

12:39 AM

@user current event implies the post (/ its context) should be constantly changing

this is like the exact opposite

Adám

@Wezl Constraints prohibiting Crostini?

Wezl

@Adám yes

caird coinheringaahing

You could ping a CM and ask very nicely if they'd add a custom reason for you :P

Adám

:-(

hyper-neutrino

I can add the "needs detailed answers" post notice to an answer... but I can't choose my own post notices. Thanks

Yeah, looks like CMs can add custom notices.

But this is... a special case and I'm not going to bother CMs over just this one use case; I don't think "hey don't edit this post at all" is really often that useful

caird coinheringaahing

12:42 AM

Although, having an "other" notice that allows you to add a custom message a la bounty would be a useful ability for mods to have, you could open a feature-request on MM?

Wezl

@Adám I have access to OpenBSD but ...

Adám

@Wezl What about ~~this~~ this

user

codeanywhere.com has APL (idk the impl)

Wezl

@Adám I've tried it and I think it was still pretty slow (It includes running theia, though there may be a way to avoid that)

Adám

@user Should be easy to assess.

user

12:45 AM

@Wezl Btw which implementation of SML are you using?

@Adám ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I don't feel like making an account to check it out

Wezl

@user moscow ml, built from source, with the REPL

Adám

@user How do you know? I don't see it on the list.

user

@Adám That's interesting. Higher up, they have a scrolling thingy

Wezl

well thanks people but I don't really need a different APL

user

@Wezl Would you recommend it, or are you just using it because Chrome OS?

Wezl

12:48 AM

@user both, but a different one like SMLNJ or PolyML would probably be better

Adám

Clearly, the sales department has no clue:

user

Thanks, I'll check those out too

ngn

is standard ml a popular language these days?

user

If it was, Wezl probably wouldn't use it /s

@Adám JSON projects?

ngn

:D

user

12:51 AM

@Adám If you scroll up here, you can find it (or just look at the HTML, I guess)

Apparently, they also support Bralnfsck and Pig Latin, so I'm a little dubious about their APL support

Adám

Pig Latin must be an esolang.

How does one program in diff?

My Spreadsheet won't compile!

At least they got COBOL right.

-1 for a completely trivial construction without a single point. It is uninteresting in any way obviously since it involves no thinking in every single part of this. It was only a tetris challenge but look at what you have done: a huge unnecessary badly-designed computer. That's like buy a supercomputer to compute 1+1. Everyone who have the tiniest knowledge on CGoL should see the trivialness of this random so-called "project" and it certainly don't deserve a single upvote. — null Jul 19 '20 at 5:29

@hyper-neutrino HighlyRadioactive (null) had a habit of calling complex things trivial. I remember whenever someone would say that Jelly was hard to learn, theirs response was always "Well, Dennis specifically made it hard to learn" or "It's pretty intuitive and trivial to use tbh", yet I never saw them post a Jelly answer. Similar thing to QFT, they called it "trivial" a decent amount, yet never bothered to even make any kind of effort towards solving such a "trivial" challenge

Contrarians and words in the winds tbh

hyper-neutrino

Community: time for your weekly rejecting the "too many answers" flag on Sandbox!
me every week: yes community

@cairdcoinheringaahing Ah. okay. well, gonna purge a lot of comments there because it's really chatty, so I think I'll discard those comments too

TBH i find it a bit rude but I'll just quietly purge them since it's not that bad

caird coinheringaahing

Tbh I'm not really sure what happened with null. IIRC, one day they just randomly vandalised all the LotM nominations, changed their name to null and suspended all activity. They were super active before that, like 2k in a couple of months active

Redwolf Programs

I had two copies of one of the main parts of it, so I used rm make_post.js to remove it. I changed directories to my main one and hit up then enter, expecting vim make_post.js to be the last thing I did.

hyper-neutrino has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

Redwolf Programs

Announcement: I've decided to learn git

This should take maybe a day to rewrite, don't worry too much

I have it spread across two main files, so I only lost one

hyper-neutrino

should i just steal the bots? most i just don't want to seem rude and you've worked very hard on these and i (and i'm sure many others) appreciate it but... i tend to usually not suffering critical failure or total destruction very often :p

oh. well that's somewhat reassuring :p

Redwolf Programs

Well, I needed to make one very small change. I should be done with those soon.

I swear, everything works perfectly fine until I decide to run something important on it.

hyper-neutrino

as long as you put it on git this time ;)

@Feeds please just spam this room already

you are making me very anxious

Redwolf Programs

3:01 AM

I should probably rewrite this from scratch honestly, the code is absolutely horrible

Anything involving multiple lines in JS is guaranteed to be

hyper-neutrino

lol

i'm tempted to rewrite this with the chatexchange in python lol :p but i'll let you do your thing unless more death happens

Redwolf Programs

I don't know who the frick makes a programming language and doesn't think about adding the option to have multiple files for twenty plus years

Most of the time I spent developing this was understanding how chat and logging in works, rewriting it shouldn't be overly difficult

hyper-neutrino

well, we do have the feeds which, although slow, are very reliable so take your time making sure it works well :p

hey TNB, what's your guys' opinion on the Pxem "quine"? it runs based off of filename but outputs its own file name. i'm not sure if this is in violation of any rules here, but something feels off about it. it's sort of like doing this for 35 bytes in Python 2 IMO

hyper-neutrino

i hate JS so much but i guess this is really poggers here

@Makonede this consensus might help - I'm reading through it now and I'll see if I can find a proper answer for this specific case

Pxem is a weird language. might warrant its own post for various different things

Makonede

well first of all it is currently invalid anyways as it outputs its code (which is in the file name), not the content of the file which is what a quine is

Redwolf Programs

(Also I am definitely not a genius lol)

(I was one button away from losing a week's worth of work)

hyper-neutrino

3:25 AM

no you deleted your code without having any revision control or backup and are now pulling the source code by stringifying a js function in RAM

you and JS's combined un-ingenuity made for a very nice fix; I guess two wrongs sometimes do make a right :D

I do love how you can actually read comments within a program's source code programatically

Redwolf Programs

I really dislike deleting things from a terminal

Too easy to delete the wrong thing

I think I'm going to alias rm to a bash script that makes me re-enter the name of the file being deleted first

hyper-neutrino

oh that's a good idea

9

A: How to alias rm to always confirm

Confirmation is a weak way to achieve the result you want: not deleting files you didn't want to delete. I can ask you to confirm 10 times in a row, but if since you just asked me to delete mispeled.txt you will not realize your error until after you confirmed it. Better to use trash or similar ...

or if you really want to use confirm, just alias rm='rm -i' in your rc

Redwolf Programs

Hmm, a good point against changing rm is that it could mess up scripts

I guess I'll just install a trash-cli thing

hyper-neutrino

(comments under this) though be careful about -i and -f contradicting each other, and how they interact

Redwolf Programs

3:48 AM

Actually I'll just add rmr as an alias, which would fix that and prevent me from building up muscle memory to use rm without thinking

hyper-neutrino

wdym, alias rmr as rm and remove rm itself? or smth

or alias rmr as rm -i so it doesn't break scripts using rm itself

Redwolf Programs

No, just not use rm directly and do everything though my rmr command

hyper-neutrino

ah. that could work too

as long as it confirms somehow, since typing here wasn't really the main problem, it was just using command history incorrectly :p

Redwolf Programs

I like how GH does it. Having to retype the name of the file is good.

It's slightly more time consuming, but something that potentially dangerous should be

this meta post and this meta post are over a month old and nothing really has happened nor has a consensus been reached; what do we want to do about these?

Nice answer

Adám

Since all but the first digit is a 9, changing any digit will lower the sum unless the 3 is also increased, which means the number grows.

CMC: Given N, answer the smallest positive integer whose digits add to N. (Must handle at least N=1000.)

@Anush always 9 for any integer greater than 9, no?

Adám

Indeed.

CMC: Given N>1 and B>1, answer the smallest positive base-B integer whose digits add to N. Must handle at least N=1000 and B=36. You can answer using letters for digits after 9, or as a list of digit values.
