ActiveState Perl is traditionally the way to go for Perl on Windows

wizzwizz4

What would Perl++ look like?

shelvacu

Anybody know of a famous quote where the length in bytes is a power of two?

quartata

@wizzwizz4 The idea is that Perl 6 is Perl++, but they made it super weird

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@shelvacu "Hi"

quartata

Stricter syntax, funny unicode "French" character junk, etc.

FlagAsSpam

6:01 PM

@shelvacu That is an oddly specific question.

shelvacu

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ lol

Yes it is.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

With or without quotes.

shelvacu

either

Maltysen

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this"

Its like a little bit of the quote

idk if that counts

shelvacu

Hmmm

Timwi

6:03 PM

@FlagAsSpam Hm, I don’t have Mono installed, do you think it’s worth the effort to try and debug this?

shelvacu

I could do that with any quote though\

wizzwizz4

@shelvacu Perhaps there are some Shakespeare quotes of that specific length requirement.

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi It's because Mono doesn't have System.Windows type display.

I'm using Mac, so it wouldn't be accessible anyways.

quartata

@FlagAsSpam use Wine

FlagAsSpam

@quartata No.

Timwi

6:04 PM

How does that cause Out Of Memory though?

FlagAsSpam

I'm gonna use a virtual machine. :P

quartata

@FlagAsSpam yes

@FlagAsSpam no

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi It can't find RT.Util.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: I don’t understand your response. At any rate, I just checked the source and the only thing that uses WPF is RT.Util; Esoteric IDE itself only uses WinForms, which Mono supports.

wizzwizz4

I have a question with a link to the complete works of Shakespeare, if anybody wants it.

Condition: You have to look at the question and answers before looking at Shakespeare.

quartata

6:05 PM

Hmm this is tricky

A: Angle between the hands on a clock

I'll make just an analyze: Assuming that we've already splited incoming string into two 2-chars substring, and converted them into Integers, let them be H and M. Lets measure angles in units equal to [ 0 .. 12*60 ] as they are the smallest we need. Minute hand will be at [ MA = (12 * 60) / 60 *...

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have no clue what's going on, man. I don't use C#.

shelvacu

Aha! After a little more searching, “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys.” without quotes is 32

quartata

@Doorknob This is not an answer, but it is very high quality and can't be converted into a comment.

Thoughts?

@shelvacu whatcha using this for?

wizzwizz4

@shelvacu Why do you want it anyway?

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: I can help you, but I’ll need to know more about the actual error that’s happening. Do you get a compile-time error or a run-time error? Can you paste the error message here?

FlagAsSpam

6:06 PM

@quartata This was posted 4 years ago...

quartata

@FlagAsSpam So?

2

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: Alternatively I can compile it myself and send you the executable and you can see if you can run it in Mono?

shelvacu

I want to show it in binary for an educational video, and I really wanted it to be "square" if that makes sense

FlagAsSpam

That was it. xD

quartata

6:09 PM

Oh OK.

wizzwizz4

@shelvacu Yes. I agree. Quartata is wrong about us.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: As for the first one, I confess I’m stumped at this error.

quartata

I only ask because I don't want chat to be walls of text like this

wizzwizz4

Chat shouldn't be walls of text. It should be walls of INFOBOX!!!

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: As for the second one, you can’t compile a single source file in isolation. You have to compile all of them together, and you need to reference the correct dependencies. This is usually what the .csproj is for (it has all that information in it).

FlagAsSpam

6:10 PM

That's the last one. :P

quartata

Hey, I didn't know dmckee was a mod on Physics SE.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: How about I send you the executable?

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi I'm on OS X, so it won't work.

Unless I download it on my Windows 10 VB.

quartata

@FlagAsSpam It should if you run it with mono

FlagAsSpam

Alrighty. :P

quartata

6:11 PM

Wait

mınxomaτ

@quartata No.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: clowd.ca/u/1l4

trichoplax

@quartata For a while now :)

quartata

@mınxomaτ It will.

I do this with .NET apps all the time on Linux.

mınxomaτ

@quartata Evidently it does not. We tried that earlier. Forms and them some.

quartata

6:12 PM

? huh

Zgarb

@Seadrus Your "Best of PPCG" nomination, the Jolf answer, was posted on January 1, so I think it's technically not eligible.

quartata

Must be something specific to Esoteric IDE

@Zgarb Was that when it was posted in UTC time?

wizzwizz4

Something witty.

mınxomaτ

@quartata I know what Mono does ಠ_ಠ. But Mono only supports a tiny fraction of Forms and Drawing, since both are neither Open-Source nor part of the ECMA standard.

Timwi

I know that Windows Forms works under Mono because I ran Expert Sokoban in it (quite a while ago when Mono was still fairly new) and it worked more or less without a problem

Zgarb

6:14 PM

@quartata Not sure actually. For me it says "answered Jan 1 at 21:52".

Timwi

@mınxomaτ: They’re open-source now... :)

trichoplax

@Zgarb I could see something posting before 12:00pm UTC being allowed through as still technically 2015 in some timezones, but that one wasn't 2015 anywhere in the world, so it seems safe to exclude it

quartata

@mınxomaτ Windows Forms works pretty well in Mono (hence why Mono is in fear of getting nuked by Microsoft)

It must be something obscure

mınxomaτ

I repeat: We tried that earlier. Read the chat transcript.

trichoplax

@Zgarb I'm pretty sure that's the UTC time - says the same for me here in UTC

Zgarb

6:15 PM

@trichoplax Ok, in that case it was still 2015 in a couple of timezones.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam Any luck with the executable?

Zgarb

No, wait.

Was it? Timezones always confuse me.

2

El'endia Starman

@PhiNotPi What are you using to construct these?

trichoplax

@Zgarb Time zones seem to go from -12 to +14, so past 9pm seems definitely 2016 in any timezone

El'endia Starman

I'm planning on making such a simulator with D3 today.

zyabin101

6:17 PM

@El'endiaStarman D3?

PhiNotPi

A CA simulator?

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi Trying to shove it into the virtual machine, gimme a moment. c:

trichoplax

Great. Now I have to go out and buy D3 glasses

Zgarb

@trichoplax Right, thanks. Then it's not eligible.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: Ah, well, if you’re running actual Windows in the VM, then it’ll most definitely work (all you need is .NET 4.0 installed, but Windows 7 and later come with that I think)

wizzwizz4

6:18 PM

@trichoplax No. Everyone knows that the world is divided into 32 timezones, ranging from -16 to 15

El'endia Starman

@zyabin101 D3.js, where "D3" stands for "Data Driven Documents". It's a JavaScript library that I used for the graphical stuff of this.

@PhiNotPi Yeah.

Timwi

Does anyone know if github allows me to have downloads of the executable so that people don’t need to compile the code?

El'endia Starman

I think it shouldn't be all that hard.

PhiNotPi

I was just using some online tool... but it doesn't matter too much because the crossing was totally broken.

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi Yeah, perfect. :D

El'endia Starman

6:19 PM

Certainly easier than Spacewar!...

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi Zip it?

mınxomaτ

@Timwi Yes. Make a release.

You can attach binaries to releases: github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software

trichoplax

@wizzwizz4 If you have a source for that, you might like to update the list on Wikipedia... Oh wait that was a base 2 joke, wasn't it??

El'endia Starman

@PhiNotPi What were you using?

PhiNotPi

Something that turned images into gifs.

El'endia Starman

6:22 PM

Ah, but what were you using for the CA simulation?

PhiNotPi

My mind. Classic style.

El'endia Starman

Ah, nice. :P

PhiNotPi

Since different cells have different rules, pencil&paper was easiest.

Timwi

Yay! My first release! github.com/Timwi/EsotericIDE/releases/tag/1.0

El'endia Starman

Yeah, well, I feel like it should be easy for me to make it easy to incorporate multiple rules (and with different colors too). I'll start work on it soon.

PhiNotPi

6:24 PM

What would be useful to me is a graphical tool where I can have a "palette" of different cell types.

El'endia Starman

I think I was already planning on something like that.

DanTheMan

Hey, is there an Esoteric programming language based on OEIS sequences?

If not, there should be.

FlagAsSpam

Oh, and, I don't know if I mentioned it already, but I have formally requested endorsement from my school (esp. the CS teachers) for the Mornington Crescent "Hello, World!" run.

El'endia Starman

@DanTheMan I'd like to see addition of two numbers and primality testing. :P

wizzwizz4

@DanTheMan There should be an OEIS sequence based on Esoteric programming languages!

El'endia Starman

6:26 PM

@FlagAsSpam So you're gonna do it in real life? :D

If they approve it.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam I’ve always been thinking someone should do that!

FlagAsSpam

@El'endiaStarman I'm going to do it regardless - it's just a question of whether or not I'll have professional recording equipment.

PhiNotPi

Sorry I'missed on mobile.

El'endia Starman

@FlagAsSpam Ah, cool.

PhiNotPi

And my autocorrect is broken.

zyabin101

6:27 PM

@PhiNotPi You have the unneccessary '.

DanTheMan

@El'endiaStarman Addition of two numbers would be easy, just add, and for primality testing you'd just have to search through the sequences of the prime and composite numbers.

FlagAsSpam

@Timwi How do I run Mornington Crescent code?

I can only do BF, right now.

Timwi

@FlagAsSpam: The drop-down in the top right.

my favourite might be codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/65744/8478 but that challenge doesn't have CJam or Pyth answers

I think that complementary colors one and the symbolic differentiation one are the best so far

Martin Büttner

hm, maybe one of those very simple ones is actually a good idea. because Retina's main design goal is not to get between you and a regex if a regex is all that's needed to solve a challenge.

True
