The Nineteenth Byte

ENIAC (; Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945. There were other computers that had these features, but the ENIAC had all of them in one package. It was Turing-complete and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory (which later became a part of the Army Research Laboratory), its first program was a study of the feasibility of...

It's arguably the oldest "true" reprogrammable computer.

DialFrost

im running a asus laptop

forest

That's just a brand.

I'd wager you just have a lot of bloat.

DialFrost

its 4 years old sooo

forest

You can get a snappy experience with even the most ancient hardware if you use the right software.

4 years is not very old. I have a 15 year old system that I still regularly use.

DialFrost

i use a laptop not a system

forest

2:08 AM

A laptop is a system.

DialFrost

a system isnt a laptop :p

btw the screen is dying

forest

Well not all are. :P

Jo King

a lack of ram will kill pysearch early though

forest

Screens are often the first to go, yeah... One of my laptops has a dead screen, so I only connect to it over SSH from another computer.

How much memory does pysearch need?

DialFrost

@JoKing oh dear

mine goes thru all the lengths super quickly but stops at like 7 length

and camps there still it stops

Jo King

2:11 AM

@forest increases exponentially, mostly don't get past length 13 with 16gbs

Steffan

ah, figured out how to generalize it for long

Oof.

@Steffan gahhhhhh

i keep meaning to try writing a version that uses a SAT solver instead

forest

2:12 AM

Imagine using a system with a petabyte of storage on LTO tapes forced to be a block device and used as swap. :D

Steffan

people on the weekgolf discord server use kaggle and it works great for them

which is literally a jupyter notebook

DialFrost

@Steffan its not ahhhhhhhhhh

Ginger

ℳ

Jo King

@forest i just use google drive

Seggan

2:30 AM

its possible to mount gdrive as a disk drive

ive done it

forest

There should be a contest to see the most ridiculous medium for swap in action.

Jo King

probably anything in Harder Drives would qualify

the last one (cryptocurrency) would be absolutely mad

SwapSpace is apparently already a crypto exchange lmao

Seggan

2:50 AM

@forest playing minecraft, suddenly get teleported 3000 blocks back. apparently my location was stored in google drive

on an unrelated note, i was working on a compressor for fig, and by pure chance i created a string of AAAAAA... that compressed to a :P

hmm apparently any sequence of uppercase letters compresses to its lowercase version lol

ok the thing is bork :P

DialFrost

3:04 AM

what do I do then @JoKing :(

and er guys how do I print a julia list with spaces?

In python its *

Jo King

@DialFrost try the kaggle thing, i dunno how easy it is to use

Radvylf Programs

3:30 AM

@Seggan Oh well yeah that's reasonable and normal and fine

And if you just wanted to import bar; you'd bar::foo()

Also please don't use /

Unrelated String

^

Radvylf Programs

:: if you want to emulate C++/Rust, which is totally reasonable, or . if your packages are objects/structs, like in JS/(presumably) Python

I'm personally a fan of the latter, but ::'s still a solid (if annoying to type) alternative

Also even if packages aren't structs/objects, . shouldn't cause any ambiguity if you do it right

Unrelated String

just use the literal text T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM

4

Radvylf Programs

If bar::foo() is a function in bar, bar shouldn't be able to be a totally unrelated object

So bar.foo shouldn't be able to refer to anything but bar::foo

Unrelated String

^

Radvylf Programs

3:35 AM

And if bar.foo was ambiguous, that would kind of imply that bar, the package namespace thingy, was itself data, which would be really weird, especially in a statically typed language

Steffan

@DialFrost print(join(a,' '))

emanresu A

Mayyyybe print(*a) or similar

Radvylf Programs

3:52 AM

Oh frick I just ate 75g of sugar

I'm going to go drink a bunch of water to dilute the 150% daily recommendation of donuts I just consumed

Steffan

@emanresuA no, print(a...) would smash them all together without space

@DialFrost try using 1 to 10 for this one since it's sufficient.

maybe that'll speed it up enough

I don't even have 1 to 99, that slows it down too much

Sorry to barge in, but I'm curious what people think about this challenge re: it being a duplicate of this one.

I edited the sandbox post to include an explanation of what I think the golfed solutions will look like.

Let me know what you think! I've been a bit stumped for the past couple weeks trying to decide if it was too similar.

Jo King

@FryAmTheEggman I don't think they're very similar at all, solutions would look very different

FryAmTheEggman

I think a lot of the work winds up being in what I called L

But there is a lot of other stuff

heya people

hiya

DialFrost

11:41 AM

can someone explain this code? thx

*x,=map(sum,zip([0]+x,x+[0]))

python obvisouyl

PyGamer0

does it generate the next row of pascal's triangle?

DialFrost

ya

PyGamer0

ok i will try my best explaining it then :P

zip([0]+x, x+[0]), zips together two lists: x with zero prepended and x with zero appended

map(sum, ...) sums ^ pairwise

so if x=[1,2,1], the zip does: [(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 0)]

and the sum does [0+1, 1+2, 2+1, 1+0]

the *x,= forces the map to be a list

@DialFrost did you understand :P

DialFrost

wow good explanation

anyone can fix this julia code?

x=[1]
for i=1:20
println(join(x," "));global x=Array(map(sum,zip([0]+x,x+[0])))
end

it just prints the entire sum of the array lmao instead of separately

PyGamer0

11:58 AM

@DialFrost you can make it shorter

DialFrost

@PyGamer0 not yet chillax

solve then golf

right now its doing the wrong thing

PyGamer0

well i made it previously

ato.pxeger.com/…

i think it can be made much shorter

@DialFrost here

DialFrost

wow tysm

DialFrost

12:25 PM

what's the shortest way to create a uppercase alphabet in julia?

UndoneStudios

12:36 PM

i've no idea

ah shit my pfp was supposed to be a gif but it became a stupid pic of shaun the sheep's aunt

caird coinheringaahing

@UndoneStudios SE doesn't allow gifs as profile pictures, just converts them to still images

UndoneStudios

yeah found that out the hard way

it turns out if we can game i.stack.imgur.com we could probably add gifs

lyxal

1:11 PM

since when are the SE blog posts under the upcoming events section on the sidebar?

I always thought the blog posts were on top then site-specific stuff

Ginger

@RadvylfPrograms how tf did you do that

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal upcoming events are first, then the overflow blog, then featured posts

lyxal

new mandella effect just drop then I guess

Ginger

wake up babe new mandella effect just drop

caird coinheringaahing

Just did review #66666 :P

Ginger

1:17 PM

Ginger

1:44 PM

so, I'm doing a thing

the thing involves downloading large quantities of data, which is how you know it's good

and by large quantities I mean a 23040x11520 PNG image

lyxal

big

Ginger

yes

lyxal

a real chungus of a file

Ginger

I'm not a fool so I'm not actually downloading the whole image; instead the project will fetch chunks of it on-demand so your computer doesn't go boomboom

lyxal

you wouldn't happen to be downloading "Viking Merged Color Mosaic" would you?

Ginger

1:54 PM

I am, however, having some issues finding an unprocessed version of the image that is suitable for my purposes

@lyxal I am not in fact downloading that

lyxal

dang

(it's a 23040x11520 png btw)

Ginger

so far I have found the raw data for the images and several processed versions of the images but not an unprocessed image
