@UnrelatedString some icons, and an unrelated string
looks like the name checks out lmao
 
12:19 AM
@DLosc fetch(...).then(x => x.text()).then(eval)
It actually worked
 
12:31 AM
Ok wtf is fontawesome doing?
They're making people pay money... for icons.
 
12:45 AM
Is there a difference between O(1) and O(0)?
 
Doesn't O(1) mean that, for a constant k, it's the same as O(k)? Seems like that'd fail for O(0), as it'd always be O(0) for any constant?
 
i'd imagine that O(0) would describe only operations which literally do not take any time at all yeah
 
Seems like O(0) would mean it takes zero time
 
What about O(-1)?
 
That undoes time
 
12:51 AM
Kinda want to put that on the Jon Skeet memes paeg
 
It's locked
 
Oh true lol
 
In fact, it's been locked for over 10 years :P

What about Count the ways to transform (1)?
 
Presumably got edited more or less recently
 
pretty sure it's on main
or not?
 
Nah, I blame the frogs
 
could have sworn i saw a challenge titled count the ways to transform on main like a day or two ago
wait yeah no here it is

Q: Count the ways to transform

Wheat WizardA rigid transformation of a square array is a mapping from square arrays of a certain size to square arrays of the same size, which rearranges the elements of the array such that the distance to each other element remains the same. If you printed out the matrix on a sheet of paper these are the t...

 
There's not much point in having a sock if everyone knows who it is
Do y'all think Glorfindel has a fanatic userscript?
(Because he has it on every site)
 
1:07 AM
The only real point of having a sock is to test things as a new user
 
And confusing people
 
@allxy IIRC, he does, but as a side effect of an actual user script. Can't remember what the main thing it does is, but, as a consequence, it logs him in to sites daily
 
Smokey autoflag maybe?
 
1:20 AM
@allxy Speaking of which, when are you going to stop using this sock? It's kinda confusing
 
After a bit of pain, I've got Risky working on DSO
 
Time to add dotcomma / ultrarisky
Oh, and setup the custom bytecount interface
Anyone got any (JS-based) languages you want on there?
 
not that this actually affects what i can suggest but does it have to strictly be js-based or would something in like wasm also work
 
Probably not
I don't think surge.sh supports hosting .wasm files
 
1:24 AM
sad
 
If they're hosted somewhere else I might be able to do something

@user btw thain't me
my alt has an actual chat bio
 
There are two allxys (allxi? allxus?) in town now
 
oh hey we need a new LoTM
@WheatWizard looks like Curry is language of the month
 
We do
 
@emanresuA Nice!
 
It's on my end only though
The custom bytecounter interface is also working
 
1:53 AM
@lyxal I know, that's what makes it confusing
 
current DSO is barely usable
 
@emanresuA Is it possible for you to run languages written in Python using a Python-to-JS transpiler or a Python interpreter written in JS?
@emanresuA Barely usable >> unusabl
Looks pretty good right now
 
You can interpret deadfish
 
@user Possibly, but those are generally a bit hacky
Lyxal's tried getting Vyxal into JS
There's empythoned
 
pyjs
that's what I've heard exists
 
2:01 AM
pyjs is python 2
Looks like it was translated to Python then back to English.
Vyxal 2.6+ is probably impossible
Because sympy
And I think 2.4.1 uses numpy a bit?
 
it is Curry time, I think?
no nvm there are 4 different langauges at the top of the LotM thread
 
Tiebreak is date
Wait no, looks like it's tinylisp @DLosc
 
2:24 AM
Power series = pain
They're somewhat elegant and somewhat annoying
 
2:59 AM
I think I've got ultrarisky working but I'm having difficulty testing it.
I figured out how to add two numbers in one byte
And I'll post it once I've deployed DSO
Ugh 1 bytes

Find it very interesting this: it's 3:30am here, and my room overlooks a courtyard in my accom, and, being on the top floor, I can basically see all the windows of the other flats around the courtyard. A surprisingly large number still have lights on
I wonder, at what time does "light is on" switch from "still awake" to "just woke up"? :P

I find it very interesting that code golf is more important than sleep to you
 
No, I just can't sleep :P
 
Because goddamn screen time limits, DSO will be deploying at some point tomorrow.
 
Public swimming pools are an interesting thing - you have a sort of organised chaos consisting of individual groups of order.
And I never know how best to conduct my own individual group of order amongst the masses
Like seriously though how tf you meant to swim by yourself and not be awkward af?
 
3:45 AM
you don't
 
You declare war on the eight-year-olds on the inflatables

@UnrelatedString too late, I already did
 
Spend 3 minutes continuously peeing to establish dominance
5
 
@emanresuA I'm seeing a very distinct lack of 8 year olds and inflatables right now
 
@lyxal :(
 
3:46 AM
@cairdcoinheringaahing you do that?
Yikes.
 
@lyxal Only in pools I've never been in. Every other pool already knows my place as Supreme Chlorine Ruler
 
guys can i post a (tips for golfing in seriously?) post?
 
I think that exists?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing see now that's the problem. You're assuming I'm at a chlorine pool
This is a salt water pool
 
Yuck.
 
3:48 AM
i think there was a seriously tips but i guess mego was the one who posted it
@lyxal niiiiice
 
@UnrelatedString it's very convenient that it's right next to an ocean lol
 
@UnrelatedString Nope, can't find either a seriously or an actually tips
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Seriously?
 
Yeah, Actually
 
3:50 AM
come to think of it i'm pretty sure there was a unified tips post for seriously and actually
 
I kinda want to make a fork of unsure with only adverbs
 
er so i dont post it?
 
An interesting pattern I've observed about the pool I'm at is that kids pushing other kids off a centralised bridge is an inevitable occurrence
 
@DialFrost does anyone still use it?
 
sometimes
but not much at all
...
which is part of the problem
 
3:52 AM
if you want to pick it up you should probably wait until you have tips to post yourself before making a tips post
 
thats kinda tru
 
because aside from stuff that generally applies to stack languages you probably won't get other people pitching in
 
tru
 
Who's want a picture of the pool I'm ay?
 
considering not only does nobody currently use it but most of the old answers have ceased to exist
 
3:53 AM
*at
 
Sure
 
i would like one
 
 
It's looked like that for several decades
 
3:54 AM
@emanresuA Imagine needing 16 bytes, when it can be done in 10
 
It hasn't changed much since I was a kid
 
so it's less a saltwater pool and more just a not-a-beach on the ocean
 
Not exactly
It's more of a bathe
 
a bathe
 
Well, it _is_a bathe
@UnrelatedString it's called the Newcastle bathes
Although I might be spelling that wrong
 
3:56 AM
@cairdcoinheringaahing I see. In a future version of Vyxal it'll be 10 as well
 
@emanresuA Imagine having future versions, instead of just forks that may one day be pulled into the language, but probably not, and it's likely to never change :(
 
If it's any consolation, Jelly (fork) is slightly golfier than Vyxal
 
@emanresuA Do you not have a "primes to N" builtin?
 
Nope. Infinite lists work though
 
3:58 AM
Cause a,b,c can never exceed N, so you don't need an infinite list
 
@UnrelatedString that's not it.
 
i'd assume it's a related sort of thing
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing AFAIK we don't have that builtin
 
definitely does not look like the picture you sent lol
 
3:58 AM
@UnrelatedString Two different places
 
@emanresuA How about "take first N"?
I think that should work
 
so i can post it if i alr know some stuff?
like ways to golf e.g.
 
@UnrelatedString The baths are a public swimming pool that gets cleaned every Wednesday and is actively funded by the government. The bogey hole is a little hole that has stairs and railing but no lifeguards and you swim at your own risk.
 
@DialFrost If you have tips already, yeah, its fine to post. The problem is when people like a language but don't have tips, so just post something that's never going to get answered
 
4:00 AM
:(
 
and good tips can be few and far between
 
@UnrelatedString also, they're about a kilometre or so away from each other
 
no, tips are usually further apart than 1km
 
Imagine TNB without replies
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing dumbass I meant the place I'm at and the place unrelatedstring linked to
 
4:02 AM
ah, my brain packets haven't updated yet, I just get raw HTML contentappear in my brain and nothing else ofr each message
my bad
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Nerd. I get bitstreams.
 
i thought it was deliberately ignoring the reply for comic effect
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing You should be able to read the reply indicator at the start of the message though and access the message cache
So it sounds like a you problem

@emanresuA Nice! I think you're better at remembering that my esolangs exist than I am
 
You have a thing called github.
 
Oh yeah, that thing
 
4:47 AM
Hey so remember those beach pictures I sent and how they were sunny?
 
Ooh is it has clouds/
 
It ain't sunny no more
 
You probablt stole our clouds
 
 
I twas has rain when I walked home and the top of my hair was wet and the rest of my was dry

Wrong room
 
wait was user45941 mego
i thought all of their posts were deleted by request
 
4:53 AM
Apparently not
Their network profile still exists too
 
... it is. not sure what happened
 
according to https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/admin/posts-by-deleted-user/45941 actually the majority of their answers aren't deleted
oh wait i forgot
they can't have all of their content deleted i think
they requested it but i don't think it went through. granted, i believe they reverted their licensing change (or at least didn't retroactively apply the licensing change, because i am 99% sure that is literally illegal)
 
Are there any licenses that allow you to change the license
 
but the main issue is their network profile still hasn't been deleted
@emanresuA probably the wtfpl
 
4:56 AM
I gues that kidna undermines the point of licensing though

he said this
although theyre 2 diff posts
 
Ugh dotcomma's surprisingly hard to steal
 
5:43 AM
@DialFrost yeah that's my bad, sorry
the bot flagged them as identical and i'm tired so i didn't notice they were one character off
(well, if I were paying attention, they're not under the same question but the N and H aren't different enough that i noticed lol)
BTW, you should flag it so i'm more likely to notice. or just ping me here
 
@hyper-neutrino Bad mod. Go to sleep.

Hello, would a challenge asking to make a Steiner quadruple system be OK?
One of fixed size, but it could be any system (not a fixed one)
 
So long as it isn't a duplicate of anything already asked here, and that it's well specified, it should be fine
Searching for Steiner Quadruple System on the site doesn't seem to return any existing challenges so you're fine on that front
If you end up writing a challenge make sure to put it in the sandbox first

CMC: Model APL's monadic iota primitive for scalars and vectors.
 
@PyGamer0 Nice challenge, but you should either describe it or link to a spec. APLs differ.
 
11:16 AM
@Adám Dyalog APL
or NARS
 
OK, so the spec is basically:
If argument is number or 1-element list: range for that number
Else: outer product of ranges for each number
 
yes
 
I think I wrote one in JS once.
 
> outer product of ranges for each number
i dont understand this part

Fun fact: log2(~x&-~x) gives the xth term of the infinite ABACABA... sequence
 
12:07 PM
@Adám I don't know how to convert that to BQN. ↕¨ does not produce a simple list, so I can't fold over it D:
I did it in Jelly though
 
@PyGamer0 ∾⌜´↕¨
 
@pxeger log2(x&-x) also gives the xth term, but 1-indexed
 
i think in flax it should be I¨,⌜´
 
@PyGamer0 I only gave you the translation of {⊃∘.,/⍳¨⍵} to BQN, not an implementation of APL's
 
@Adám wdym

@PyGamer0 You said you didn't understand the outer product part, so I explained it in APL. Then you said you didn't know how to convert that to BQN, so I did.
