Probably because of Thanksgiving break.

@El'endiaStarman ...which officially starts tomorrow

@SuperJedi224 If you took vacation from work yesterday and today, that's a week-long vacation. Because of Thanksgiving break.

I tried CoffeeScript for the first time and was pleasantly surprised

@Dennis @Maltysen Hi

hi

@phase Thanks for the diamond

@Maltysen hello

@Maltysen Hey Malty, about the Lever Simulator, would it be alright if I used the enumerate approach to save 2 bytes off my solution?

@phase Have you found the cave yet?

@SuperJedi224 Hello.

SuperJedi224

Who else remembers the web hosting feature google drive is currently actively pretending not to have?

Maltysen

@isaacg idk, ask @xnor

@SuperJedi224 i used to use it all the time.

SuperJedi224

@Maltysen I wrote a javascript snippet to find the hosting urls.

Maltysen

whoaaa cool

SuperJedi224

1:25 AM

It's really not that hard

Maltysen

so it still works? I thought they hid it behind some dynamic urls or something

SuperJedi224

The format's just https://googledrive.com/host/<your folder id here>

But it requires that your folder be shared

They no longer tell you any of that in the actual google drive interface though

Maltysen

ahhh ok. I don't think it works with actual files anymore though.

@Vɪʜᴀɴ what happened to the cool banner?

SuperJedi224

@Maltysen You can always append /<your filename here> to the end of the hosted folder url

> Can these headers not become a thing, please? Sure, they look nice, but they make your answer less searchable, and your score doesn't show up in the excerpt in search results. It also causes everyone who opens the page to load an image which doesn't add any value, and we've got some users from countries where internet access is still paid for by traffic.

Maltysen

what about adding the header for searchability purposes above the image in size-zero font or seomthing?

@Maltysen I was thinking of that, but I couldn't think of a way to do it

xnor

@isaacg go for it

Vɪʜᴀɴ

My user name is now Downgoat, I'm going to regret this for the rest of the month.

xnor

in Haskell, can I not pattern match with variables?

SuperJedi224

1:40 AM

@Vɪʜᴀɴ Why did you do that.

xnor

let i=1 in [x|(i,x)<-[(1,2),(3,4)]] gives a different result from [x|(1,x)<-[(1,2),(3,4)]]

Vɪʜᴀɴ

@SuperJedi224 Downvote -> Downgoat. I was a goat previously for about a week

Zgarb

@xnor Unfortunately no, the inner i shadows the outer one.

xnor

is the approach of filtering by pattern matching doomed then?

1:47 AM

@xnor Are you trying to implement filter?

xnor

@Zgarb more like lookup, but giving all matches

[x|(j,x)<-l,i==j]

Zgarb

Yeah, I can't think of a shorter way.

xnor

ok, thanks

Is it normal to have two terminals open?

Downgoat

@phase Like side-by-side? I think so. I do it all the time

El'endia Starman

@phase When working on Minkolang, I typically have three command prompts open.

phase

One is the Windows Command Prompt, and one is MinGW

El'endia Starman

One for the localhost server, one for Git for the online interpreter, one for Git for the original interpreter (because I update minkolang*.py in both places).

Oh, and during the times when I needed to do stuff on the remote server, I also had at least one PuTTY window open, and sometimes two (one for editing a file, one for restarting the Apache server).
