The Nineteenth Byte

is that the font you mean?

Unrelated String

gorgeous

Seggan

@lyxal yeah

why

who invented it

who tortures themselves with it

also

TokenType.END_FUNCTION -> isEnding = i-- > -1 // setting it to true. don't try this at home

when ure too lazy to write 3 lines instead of 1 :P

code golf can be useful sometimes

1:42 AM

that's very cursed

i--; TokenType.END_FUNCTION -> isEnding = true is almost as golfy

for minor extra cursedness use !0 instead of true

1:55 AM

I actually use !0 and !1 in my code sometimes since it reduces the e count

I used to get kind of stressed out about how stupid some of the decisions I make to avoid es are, then I realized: it absolutely doesn't matter how nice my code looks to other people 90% of the time, and when it does, it's usually someone else's code not mine so I don't care if it's yellow and inconsistently colored

undrstandabl

I'd probably use !!0 for false and !!1 for true to avoid a bit of mental gymnastics though

Hey mods can we get the lyxtures room unfrozen?

@JoKing @hyper-neutrino ^

Because turns out there is a zoom I can share with everyone

2:31 AM

@lyxal which is?

@AidenChow intro to discrete mathematics

Two lectures a week

@lyxal ooh sounds interesting, what are the prerequisites for that kind of course tho

is single variable calc enough

I reckon

It's things like logical proof, graphs and algorithms

graphs as in the graphs with nodes?

Yes

You ninja'd my explanation I was typing lol

Thems the topics

One happens on Wednesday three hours after utc midnight and the other happens on Friday one hour after utc midnight

2:48 AM

wait so this is kinda like computer science stuff? cuz graphs are used in coding too

@AidenChow discrete mathematics is the foundation of computer science lol

Or at least of algorithms

yo nice, ive always wanted to learn about this stuff, now its for free lmao

@lyxal dang i think i can make both those times, thats like afternoon for me

how long are the lectures?

2 hours each

No Dan though

Dan don't teach math

so will this teacher be as chill as daniel??

like just let anyone in?

I don't know

But so long as y'all act natural, you'll blend in

They aren't checking against a roll because it's also a physical lecture too

2:53 AM

oh cool

huh it started already?

Yes

Yesterday was the first one, but I only got the link today

Helpful, I know

awesome

When the lecture chat room gets unfrozen I'll figure out a way to get y'all a recording of last year's first lecture

The recording yesterday didn't have audio, so they just linked to last year's which is same slides but with different admin stuff

ah ok

@Seggan similarly: who invented JS? :P

hyper-neutrino

@lyxal do you have a link

@hyper-neutrino chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/136176/we-love-us-some-daniel

in We love us some Daniel, May 10 at 6:54, by lyxal

I should invite y'all to more lectures lol (that's a joke)

not anymore ... lol

lolol

@graffe 2**5000-1 is known not to be prime because it’s a mersenne prime with a composite root (either that or miller-Rabin is just fast )

3:31 AM

da hell is miller-rabin

hyper-neutrino

it's a probable prime test (as in it tests for primes but it isn't perfectly accurate)

it's mostly since it's fast that it's good - i forget if it reports no false positives or no false negatives, or if it has a chance to be wrong either way

@PyGamer0 well if imma adding another thousand to my existing student debt, I might as well invite my friends to come with me lol

PyGamer0

lol

4:07 AM

@hyper-neutrino if n fails then it is certainly composite; every time it succeeds the chance of n being composite is cut down by half

4:20 AM

huh interesting

CMC: Stern-Brocot sequence

(Google it)

8:30 AM

VTC as dupe

emanresu A

CMC: Print the OEIS sequence given by the last five digits of the id of the message you send your solution in. (no edits)

I may offer a small bounty if someone actually achieves this

So randomly guess a sequence and hope your message matches?

In that case `lambda i: 0`
There must be a sequence that consists of all 0s right?

9:21 AM

there are 602 sequences that contain 42 consecutive 0s

and the server won't allow any longer search

This one seems to be the closest match oeis.org/A000007

there does exist the zero sequence: oeis.org/A000004

a000004_list = repeat 0

so elegant

Ok so I guess I the only way to win is to spam messages till I get a ID that ends in 0004

And probably get banned in the process

lol

@emanresuA Can the message be in another chat room?

Create a bot that spams 10,000 messages in a private chat might work

9:26 AM

actually 100,000

Oh right

We might be a while

Message IDs appear to be sequential, but shared between different rooms

So you may be able to wait till you get close then spam a lot
