There is a initial empty (dead cells) area called 'canvas', its form and size does not matter, but at least 8x8 cells wide or 4xY where Y is some number greater than 7. Pattern will not interact with the canvas boundaries! This is within the players responsibility.
The player then puts a still li...
It seems pretty straightforward to me that if society confines people to loveless marriages that infidelity will be higher than if people are permitted to marry whom they wish.
@pxeger Okay but don't you wish at least a teeny bit that the world's oceans would turn into lemonade? Imagine, free lemonade any time you want, all you need to do is drive to the beach and drink the water
In combination with salt, this liquid will give the sea a flavour of the kind of lemonade known as aigresel. It will thus be easy to remove the saline and citric particles from the water and render it drinkable, which will make it unnecessary for ships to be provisioned with barrels of water. This breaking down of sea water by the boreal liquid is a necessary preliminary to the development of new sea creatures, which will provide a host of amphibious servants to pull ships and help in fisheries, replacing the ghastly legions of sea-monsters which will be annihilated by the admixture of bore…
So if I'm understanding this correctly, this person wants to turn the sea into lemonade to: * make it drinkable * Evolve sea creatures that will tow in ships (?) * Kill the sea monsters
Just reading about BQN, since I see it in every challenge now. I don't understand if it's a language made for PPCG, with bigger-picture goals, or if it's just a "better" APL that happens to be good for golfing?
My impression of BQN is that it seems slightly self-righteous over APL, J, and K, but at the same time has some design decisions I'd consider much better than APL
@pxeger That's why I had doubts it was a very serious project, because the presentation makes it seem like other APL-based languages are evil, and BQN is the second coming of christ
Not a very professional advertisement of the language imo
without actually knowing j they look just as much like they're separating things than introducing digraphs (and going beyond digraphs with both periods and colons is just kinda weird)
@Fatalize BQN started as an internal project at Dyalog. I was one of the members of the working group that made the initial design. You'll find my colleagues and me mentioned many places where BQN's history is described.
At the time, I didn't know that a major member of the working group, and the only implementer there, had already given notice. When that member of the group eventually left the company, they did some final design work, and re-implemented it (to avoid IP issues). At this point (without a major designer and implementer, and now short-staffed in general, especially due to the discovery of many faulty optimisations that had been done over the past couple of years, which set back development a year or so) Dyalog's chances of launching a successful BQN implementation were not convincing.
@Fatalize No, I wouldn't claim that. They were unhappy at Dyalog for various reasons, but I don't think they left specifically with BQN in mind. In fact, I believe the BQN design work and prototype implementation was one of the things that developer thoroughly enjoyed at Dyalog.
But hey, we at Dyalog believe array languages have something valuable to bring to the world, and if what comes out of this story is that BQN takes over the world and runs away with all our customers, then we've achieved what we wanted.
I actually have that from him. Dyalog and its employees are not in this for the money. If we wanted to maximise profit, we'd do like our former competitor MicroAPL, and shut down the APL language side of the business, instead focusing on paid support. If you ask Dyalog employees what they would consider "success" for Dyalog, they'd say having APL running for free everywhere; in browsers, on calculators, shipped with OSs etc. Basically, our success is putting ourselves out of business.
he hasn't yet. TIO is still maintained by him (or at least, I don't think anyone else has access); the couple of times it's gone down or run into issues it's been fixed very quickly
a lot of languages are using their own hosts for now like vyxal's pythonanywhere interpreter, and we have some others like RTO and ATO in dev
@Fatalize SE did actually offer to fund/help with hosting TIO, though IDK if dennis ended up getting in contact with them since I just forwarded the message to him and left it at that
@Fatalize Hey that's not completely true ... I've written pages and pages of documentation for my Haskell golfing library. I'm actually running into issues where I have so much documentation it becomes hard to find stuff. ;_;
