SELinux is so annoying

Someone didn't get the memo that security at the cost of convenience comes at the cost of security...I'm like 10s away from disabling it permanently lol

Yaaay!

Finally got it working

I'm like 90% sure SELinux is a social experiment to see if people would rather have an unsecured system or jump off a building

user

What's so bad about it?

Redwolf Programs

Trying to do literally anything is very difficult, the documentation sucks, and the logging is very useless

It's like it's not written for humans to use

And googling for information on it isn't easy either

Since it gets drowned out by tutorials on how to do trivial stuff with it

Anyway, now I can start actually improving RTO's code now that I've got a running copy again

And oh boy is there a lot to improve :p

Starting with the fact that it will either respond or response to your actions, depending on what you do

Like instead of a specific builtin to find lists, we could make a builtin to filter sublists by a predicate

So you would filter by "is list", then map each to its first element (because you'd have singleton lists of lists)

thejonymyster

like .filter(your function here)?

Q: Remove consistently dependent smaller integers

Consider this nested array [[1,2,4],[1,2,3],[2,3]] In each subarray in which 1 appears, a 2 appears. You might say that 1's presence is dependent on 2's presence.

Q: Is it a substring of itself?

Given a string, return whether the string is a substring of the program's source code. Standard quine rules apply, meaning you cannot read your own source code. The length of the input is guaranteed to be less than or equal to the length of the program. You may return any two distinct values, no...

Question about hash tables: If you have enough data, like hundreds of billions of items, wouldn't a hash table essentially be O(n / M), where M is the number of possible outputs of the hash function? And since M is a constant, it's basically O(n)?

emanresu A

Stanley O. Strum, La Jolla, San Diego, CA, United States

1

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms depends on the hash function I'd say.

And also depends on how you handle collisions

user

@RedwolfPrograms The capacity of your hash table also matters

lyxal

Like if you use things like linked lists to act as buckets for duplicate collection, then wouldn't the complexity become the complexity of the linked list?

caird coinheringaahing

Ok, I genuinely have no idea if the person I'm thinking of even existed, cause I know they golfed in Pyth, but I can't find any trace of a multi-thousand rep user who holds in Pyth who I do t already know as "not Stan Strum"

Redwolf Programs

3:02 AM

Did they have their account deleted, maybe?

caird coinheringaahing

Possibly

user

Because if your hash function is crap or your hashtable is tiny, all your items will be stuffed in one or two buckets (assuming you’re using buckets to avoid collisions), making it close to linear

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms depends on the hash function I'd say.

emanresu A

chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/132822/counting

Redwolf Programs

@lyxal Not really

hyper-neutrino

3:04 AM

@RedwolfPrograms it depends a lot

every time you get a collision you increase the complexity of each lookup

user

If you’re not using buckets and are instead doing that thing where you hash it again or whatever and put an object with a collision at a different index, you’ll run out eventually

Wezl - a cautionary tale

@RedwolfPrograms If your hash items are approaching your hash range, you're probably either running out of memory or using a bad hash function

Redwolf Programs

@RedwolfPrograms Any hash function you'd use in practice is going to have a pretty even distribution

user

@RedwolfPrograms Perl had a hash function that looked at the length of function names. That would mess things up a LOT

caird coinheringaahing

Imagine not using an injection hash function

Redwolf Programs

3:05 AM

@user For the use case I need, all the data would be 8 byte unique IDs

And there could be anywhere from hundreds to hundreds of billions

user

@RedwolfPrograms If you’re using your stdlib and you implemented your custom hashes correctly, sure, but if you don’t, you’re probably in trouble

Redwolf Programs

> implemented your custom hashes

Wait what

user

@RedwolfPrograms I’m just saying you can’t make a homegrown hash function and expect it to work

Redwolf Programs

Why would you do that

Aren't there well known and commonly used hash functions for this sort of thing?

user

Ye

lyxal

3:07 AM

Depends on what you're storing

Redwolf Programs

So why would y'all be presuming that one of those aren't being used?

user

I mean like Objects.hash(field1, field2) in java

emanresu A

@user Vyxal, 0 bytes

It's even reversible!

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms well what do you expect is being used?

user

Where you don’t want the default if it considers other fields

caird coinheringaahing

3:09 AM

Basically rule 1 of the infosec.SE site is "don't make your own hash/encryption function"

user

Because sometimes you want the hash function and equality thing to ignore some fields and only look at others

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing That's for crypto stuff, though. But yeah, still no reason to do so

user

But the body of your hash function should just be welltestedhash(foo, bar, …)

Redwolf Programs

I don't see why this matters?

I feel like we're talking past each other

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms not necessarily - you might be able to write a more optimised hash function based on the characteristics of the data structure you're using

user

3:10 AM

@RedwolfPrograms Just trust in someone else’s implementation without worrying about it too much :p

Redwolf Programs

?

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms If M >> n, yes

That's "much larger than", not bitshift

user

@RedwolfPrograms I wanted to clarify that by “custom hash function “ i didn’t mean “make your own new function” because that would contradict what I said before

@cairdcoinheringaahing which is usually true

Redwolf Programs

Problem is, I don't know how many of these IDs there will be. It could be anywhere from hundreds to hundreds of billions.

user

That fits in an int, right?

lyxal

3:12 AM

I think the point is that the complexity of the hash table depends on the complexity of the hash function

Redwolf Programs

@user An int holds up to 4 billion or so

user

Oh

Redwolf Programs

But that would mean allocating 4 billion items, even for a few hundred IDs

user

Oh boy you need a database and some sql :p

hyper-neutrino

uh

who said M is constant

Redwolf Programs

3:13 AM

Wait it can change?

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms Modulo the ids by a smaller number and use buckets

hyper-neutrino

or rather

M isn't really the number of outputs of your hash function

user

@hyper-neutrino why wouldn’t it be?

hyper-neutrino

it's your hash output modulo the bucket count which can be dynamic depending on your implementation

Redwolf Programs

@lyxal I thought user was suggesting having 4 billion buckets (one for every int value)

user

3:14 AM

@hyper-neutrino it’s the domain, right? Or is it the codonain?

hyper-neutrino

co

well yeah if you want your hash table to not be either really inefficient in space or really inefficient in time

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms Then use an M much larger than the largest possible n

hyper-neutrino

you need to be able to alter the number of possibilities

user

Oh yeah it resizes

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing Which means a ridiculous amount of space usage in 90% of scenarios

hyper-neutrino

3:15 AM

yeah

and each resize is O(n)

user

Frick

hyper-neutrino

but overall, it amortizes to O(1) for everything in the average case

Redwolf Programs

I feel like a BST would just be simpler lol

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms Who cares about that, is the code short? That's all that matters :P

Redwolf Programs

lol

user

3:15 AM

@RedwolfPrograms bst is log right? V big

Redwolf Programs

log(100000000000) is like 20 :p

user

How about a list of buckets containing bsts?

caird coinheringaahing

I will gladly accept an algorithm with complexity O(TREE(n)) if it saves bytes

user

@RedwolfPrograms oh true

hyper-neutrino

bst is log for everything

sure, log is very small, but it's still a constant factor of like 20

also bsts require strong ordering

user

3:17 AM

But you can get close to linear with hashtables still i think

hyper-neutrino

which i suppose is fine if you just order by hash

user

@hyper-neutrino yeah insertion is a problem

lyxal

@user use heaps then

caird coinheringaahing

I wonder if there's any algorithm who's complexity involves g_n(x) (the iterated function used in the definition of Graham's number) for some n, x

hyper-neutrino

how does using a heap help

user

3:17 AM

@RedwolfPrograms is there no way to find out how many ids there’ll be?

hyper-neutrino

they're also log and don't even serve the required functionality

Redwolf Programs

@user The number will change a whole bunch over time

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino no storing order though

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing for i in range(g_n(x)): print(i)

user

@lyxal heaps are binary trees still

caird coinheringaahing

3:18 AM

@hyper-neutrino Hmm yes clever

hyper-neutrino

@lyxal heaps also don't support arbitrary membership

caird coinheringaahing

How about a non-trivial example? :P

user

@RedwolfPrograms oh too bad

You seriously need a database

Redwolf Programs

Well for what I'm talking about, all I need to store are a bunch of 8-byte unique IDs

So ordering isn't an issue

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing for i in range(g_n(x) + 1): print(i + 1)

user

3:19 AM

And just let sql handle it

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino This is still trivial :P

hyper-neutrino

@RedwolfPrograms exactly how many are you going to have to deal with and how much of an issue is efficiency

also what language; can't you just use a built-in set type or smth

user

You don’t even need sql

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing what if i made it +2

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Now we're talking

If you're really crazy, make it +3

lyxal

3:20 AM

@RedwolfPrograms so why not just use a standard list? Finding an ID is just a linear search then

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino Probably, this is likely just theoretical

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing oh no, higher math

Redwolf Programs

@lyxal Linear with billions of items? That's the definition of performance right there :p

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms what's the context?

user

@lyxal it aint linear

Aset is just a hashtable in disguise

Well it depends on impl

user

3:25 AM

@RedwolfPrograms careful, you don’t want future you coming back to beat up present you

lyxal

@user no no use befunge and store the ids in the program

Befunge98 obviously

emanresu A

@lyxal No use malbolge and...what

lyxal

@lyxal befunge93 restricts the size of the code board meaning it can't store all the ids lol

Plus if you ever need to quickly burn all the ids, you just stop running the program lol

hyper-neutrino

TBH just don't bother determining if the ID is unique

just use a large enough space that it's nearly impossible to have overlap and just assume you're fine xd

alternatively just depend on the timestamp

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino I would just do that, although for the use case I'm thinking of the IDs are user supplied so a malicious user could intentionally supply a dupe

hyper-neutrino

3:32 AM

oh

Redwolf Programs

But I'll probably just go for a hash table I guess, from google it seems like the main advantages of a BST would be if I also needed to search within ranges, which I shouldn't

(Of course this is theoretical, for the project I'd use it in, I wouldn't actually write any code for a long time)

hyper-neutrino

bsts are mainly used if you need to search for the index of something

hence why it is called a binary search tree :P

Redwolf Programs

hyper-neutrino

ok so for context, i am making a discord bot, and the commands are all individual functions that are loaded into the command registry via a decorator

errors that are thrown out of the command functions are all caught by the message handler and relayed back to the user

how stupid or bad of an idea would it be to have a "success" error type and throw that and have the handler format and return the response to the user?

Redwolf Programs

Sounds like it could be a good way to reuse code/save time

Sort of like how you could use STDERR in a lower level program as a form of output instead of STDOUT if it made things more convenient (like what timeout does)

hyper-neutrino

4:01 AM

hm, i see. is throwing and catching errors inefficient?

Redwolf Programs

If you mean as in speed, I wouldn't think so, and for a discord bot it doesn't seem like the milliseconds-at-worst difference would matter

user

@hyper-neutrino Ye i think because you rewind the stack

Or sth

*stacktrace

It depends how often you throw en i guess

hyper-neutrino

well the frequency would be every time someone calls a command

so yeah ig the efficiency shouldn't matter much if it's just like a couple milliseconds at most

i'm more so wondering if it's bad code style or smth tho lol

Redwolf Programs

I wouldn't call it bad, just maybe unconventional

What I'd be more likely to do is just put the formatting in a function and call it in one of two places, once in the catch block and once if it succeeds

hyper-neutrino

hm, that'd make sense too

currently i have a function that sets the embed's color to the server's default color and for success-type messages like mod actions i just manually make it green

a lot of code reuse that i've been too lazy to properly address but i was mostly rushing it to meet a deadline, and now i can go back and fix something up

user

4:45 AM

@hyper-neutrino is there no better way to do it? Is this what other bots do too?

hyper-neutrino

@user well i could just reply to the user and then return

which is what i currently do

but there's a good amount of code repetition, which i should fix either way, whether like this or with the alternative redwolf suggested

i don't actually know how other bots work; i haven't looked at other bots' code before

i only have experience from writing my own bots and looking at the documentation/reference, lol
