@user All of you failed the captcha, it's a picture of the sun

@NewPosts the port of the formula is 9 bytes in Jelly i believe

@NewPosts lol, that was easy

Is it just me, or is this rendering a bit odd, where the *s cause italics, while still being visible?

user

Can reproduce in Firefox

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, the 3 looks weirdly slanted

hyper-neutrino

... can reproduce in Firefox, but not in the edit preview

Redwolf Programs

Yep, can repro on chrome

Adám

Chredium too

OK, I'll log it on MM.

Seems to change from the correct one after a bit, so probably conflict between two MD renderers?

Adám

Yes, SE does this odd client-side render, then update with server's.

Chat does that too, but doesn't have that bug.

I'm going to post this in a few minutes, last chance for feedback.

caird coinheringaahing

@Adám Hmm, I can't repro on MM

Redwolf Programs

Try with code highlighting maybe?

Wheat Wizard

6:52 PM

It's rendering with hljs-emphasis for me (which is just italics).

Adám

@cairdcoinheringaahing Me neither.

@RedwolfPrograms Nope.

Oh, it does happen on MM.

But only for 3 and not for I.

Does happen for II though.

i think that some people who used to be interested in my malbolge things might appreciate this

Redwolf Programs

@Adám ...that's a very strange bug

Kamila Szewczyk

6:56 PM

today i overhauled my lisp interpreter in malbolge

added let, cond, iota, size, tested a quicksort, insertion sort, a maximum over an array, etc...

github.com/kspalaiologos/malbolge-lisp

it's also much faster now and the memory efficient version requires only 800MB of RAM

hyper-neutrino

i should try writing a malbolge answer at least once just so i can fully / better appreciate this :p

Kamila Szewczyk

recommended :')

caird coinheringaahing

@KamilaSzewczyk Have you considered making a Malbolge interpreter, written in your Malbolge-Lisp interpreter?

Kamila Szewczyk

hehe, maybe eventually. the quicksort takes around 30 minutes to execute, though, so I believe a malbolge interpreter written in lisp written in malbolge could take even longer, even for simple programs..

i published the source code for my interpreter, and if anyone can improve it to be faster or more memory efficient i'll definitely enjoy it and be really thankful

user

Nice lisp

hyper-neutrino

7:01 PM

i will be surprised if i can even understand any of it. i would like to figure it out but TBH i only looked at the esolang wiki page for malbolge for a bit because i noticed this project and don't really understand the language lol

Adám

@KamilaSzewczyk iota?

Q: Sliding Dice in a Dish

We have 3 dice in a square dish. The dish is 8 units wide and tall and each die is 3 units wide and tall. The dice are facing up each with a different number on their top face. 111..222 111..222 111..222 ........ ........ 333..... 333..... 333..... Then we play a game. At each step we can slid...

Kamila Szewczyk

@Adám it does exactly what you'd expect :)

Adám

Right, but is that like a standard Lisp thing too, with that name?

Kamila Szewczyk

i don't think so

i'm just adding things I like, and extending upon the "baseline" lisp

@hyper-neutrino this article might be helpful: esolangs.org/wiki/Malbolge_programming

so far the program I wrote is probably the most complex malbolge program ever made

hyper-neutrino

7:04 PM

ah, so there's an article on the language itself and then a separate article on how to actually use it :D I will take a look thanks

A: Inconsistent Identicon between main and meta sites

Well this is fun, metas typically inherit their parent site's details, but the backfill ran for each site independently which means the calculation for a Gravatar works on the data in each site's database. There is a slight inconsistency between some main site and meta site users that meant the G...

Kamila Szewczyk

btw: can someone help me a bit? i'll be unable to get on my PC until a few days, and esolangs.org/wiki/MalbolgeLisp contains an outdated description of the language

(i don't remember the password to my esolangs wiki account and i forgot the email address i signed it up for)

basically all i want is the current readme being pasted in a <code> block inside the article i guess :P (leaving the infobox)

hyper-neutrino

where on the page do you want it? or do you want it to replace the current specs+examples

caird coinheringaahing

7:32 PM

Looks like this has no objections to it, and the synonym is still suggested, so should we synonymise average with statistics?

user

Who has enough rep in that tag, though?

Kamila Szewczyk

@hyper-neutrino current specs + example

pxeger

7:50 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing I still disagree but whatever the community wants I guess

hyper-neutrino

@KamilaSzewczyk does this look right?

Kamila Szewczyk

if you keep the infobox - yeah

hyper-neutrino

Is the infobox just the thing to the right with the paradigm/other details/etc? (I didn't touch the ((infobox proglang ... )) part at the top of the source)

Kamila Szewczyk

yeah

hyper-neutrino

alright done - just let me know if i messed up anything lol
