The Nineteenth Byte

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That is, they're not coming out at all on the other side. I've read the docs a bunch of times and I'm running out of ideas. Would you have any tips for me? =)

bad joke

Roujo

oooooooohhhhh =P

A good one =P

Alex A.

@trichoplax I love avocados with a passion. PASSIONATE AVOCAD LOV

RikerW

Roujo

@AlexA. AGREED

trichoplax

@AlexA. That's phernominal

Alex A.

1:16 AM

hahahahaha

that made me lol

trichoplax

Oh good :)

RikerW

@AlexA. I read passion love avocado, and was flashing back to the earlier sex discussion.

trichoplax

It seemed to fit the spelling far better than thermometer

Alex A.

@RikerW ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

RikerW

^^

Roujo

1:17 AM

@RikerW There's a joke about this and this room, but I guess it would only work in french

Lynn

Can you eat avocados raw??

Yes....

@Lynn Yes??

I do that....

Almost exclusively, I think.

Roujo

1:17 AM

Oh wait, it's the Nineteenth Byte, not the Nineteenth Bit

Nevermind

Alex A.

I don't know that I've seen a cooked avocado.

trichoplax

@Lynn Definitely. I've never had them cooked, only blended into guacomole

Roujo

@Lynn Yup, they're usually raw

I used to just take one to school with a spoon

Lynn

I’ve had guacamole, I guess...

Roujo

And eat it.

Alex A.

1:18 AM

@Roujo I used to eat them for breakfast with a spoon.

Roujo

Just straight up avocado

Why the spoon

Shit's legit

@AlexA. Yessss

@Lynn Ease of consumption

trichoplax

1:18 AM

@Lynn They are about the same consistency as guacomole

Roujo

@Lynn Makes it easier to eat - when it's just ripe enough, you can just scoop it

Lynn

Ahh

Roujo

@trichoplax They're basically guacamole outright, just... in fruit form

RikerW

@AlexA. I eat them like that regulary.

Alex A.

@trichoplax I think that's false. In my experience, guacamole is far more liquidy.

RikerW

1:19 AM

I didn't know people normally blend them?

Roujo

@AlexA. That might be a diet issue, have you tried eating more fiber?

That ruins them.

@Roujo ಠ_ಠ

@Roujo guacarrhea?

The only fruit I eat with a spoon is... kiwi fruits *w*

Alex A.

1:20 AM

It's because I add salsa when I made guacamole.

trichoplax

Well, they're about the same consistency as granite for a week, then the consistency of jelly for a few hours, then the consistency of guacomole for a day, then they fall to pieces

Alex A.

@Lynn Kiwi with a spoon is also good.

Lynn

Kiwis are super good

Roujo

@AlexA. I just eat kiwis like apples

Alex A.

Have you ever eaten the skin?

RikerW

1:20 AM

I am allegic to kiwis.

Roujo

Yeah

Alex A.

It's like licking a cat

Why would someone do that

@RikerW I'm sorry for your loss

Roujo

@AlexA. Oh, right. That allows me to relate kiwis to all of my extensive cat-licking experience. Right, everyone?

Everyone?

trichoplax

@Roujo Me too but most people look at me like I'm crazy

Lynn

Alex is allergic to cats, so the cat-licking analogy holds

Roujo

1:21 AM

Ahhhhhhhhh there we go

@Lynn You poor thing

You saw my cat, right?

Lynn

Yes ;-;

Alex A.

Your cat is so cute that I had to show my girlfriend

"HONEY LOOK AT THIS GUY'S CAT"

Roujo

@Lynn Crap, I meant that for Alex. Are you allergic as well?

Alex A.

Yes

Lynn

Yuppp

RikerW

1:22 AM

Aw.

Roujo

WELL SHIT

RikerW

CATS ARE LIFE

I have 3 cats.

Roujo

His name is Kuma, btw.

Lynn

Today I visited my cousin, who has just the cutests cats and I had to not pet them

Alex A.

@Roujo <3

Lynn

1:22 AM

Life is cruel bullshit IMO

Alex A.

Yes

RikerW

@Lynn I feel bad for you.

Roujo

@Lynn I'm sorry, but that can't be - I didn't have anyone visiting today

trichoplax

@Lynn Are you OK with sphinx cats?

Lynn

Okay, yes, they’re only like 0.8 Kumas on the cute scale

But still adorable

Alex A.

1:23 AM

@Roujo You're her cousin? o_O

RikerW

@Lynn petfinder.com/cats/living-with-your-cat/cat-allergies

Roujo

@AlexA. Well if her cousin has the cutest cat, then yes, I am.

Lynn

That would be a good PPCG plot twist

RikerW

lol

Alex A.

@trichoplax Hairless cats aren't hypoallergenic. People who are allergic to cats are allergic to a protein in their saliva.

RikerW

1:23 AM

ArtOfCode has a sister here.

Roujo

@AlexA. What about salivaless cats?

RikerW

@AlexA. What he said.

@Roujo you mean robotic ones?

trichoplax

@AlexA. Interesting - thanks.

Lynn

I’ve considered immunotherapy because holy crap, kittieeesss

RikerW

Do it and get a cat and take pics and show us.

Lynn

1:24 AM

Worth directly injecting cat hair into my blood or whatever if you ask me

Alex A.

Now, there is a breed of cats called Siberian cats which tend to have lower or nonexistent levels of the protein.

Roujo

@RikerW subtle

trichoplax

@AlexA. I wonder if domestic cats need that protein, and whether it can be bred out or suppressed with medication

Roujo

@AlexA. Can confirm that I've heard of that. A friend of mine can't know true happiness either, so we've been looking.

Thomas Kwa

Anyone want to earn 200 rep?

Alex A.

1:25 AM

@trichoplax I've researched that a bit. People aren't sure yet what its function is, but they think it might have to do with early development.

RikerW

@ThomasKwa YES

Roujo

@ThomasKwa Sure. Shoot.

Thomas Kwa

I'll award 200 rep to the shortest valid answer in TI-BASIC that executes in <20 seconds on WabbitEmu at 100% speed. — Thomas Kwa 1 min ago

Lynn

Fel d 1 is the worst.

Alex A.

@ThomasKwa No.

@Lynn Can confirm, is worst.

RikerW

1:25 AM

@ThomasKwa How?

Alex A.

@ThomasKwa Gross, TI-BASIC.

Roujo

@ThomasKwa That's... @VoteToClose's mathematics-only-more-specific question, isn't it.

@AlexA. I used to live on TI-BASIC

Thomas Kwa

Wait actually

Alex A.

I'm sorry for your loss

Roujo

Decked out my TI-84 with what I called a custom OS back then.

Thomas Kwa

1:26 AM

Give me a minute to decide the precise parameters.

Roujo

Spoiler: It was just a GUI with a shitton of draw calls

Thomas Kwa

But I'll definitely award 200 points for something like ^

Alex A.

trichoplax

@AlexA. You converting to metric?

Alex A.

1:27 AM

@Roujo But you have time to retroactively remove them from a post. :P

Roujo

@AlexA. Lynn had a great quote about this

It's at work, though

Alex A.

@trichoplax Shit's metric as fuck, yo

Roujo

But it went something like "Programmers are people who [...] but [...] for 2 hours"

Or something

Lynn

“Prefer 2 hours of tinkering over 20 minutes of busywork”

2

Alex A.

yesterday, by Lynn

Programmers are the kind of people who prefer 2 hours of tinkering to 20 minutes of repetitive busywork.

Roujo

1:29 AM

@Lynn Thank you <3

Lynn

Oh, alright. Left-hand rule is how it's referred to in AP Calculus classes. :P Coolio. — VoteToClose 1 hour ago

Roujo

Is there a search function and I'm just making a fool out of myself?

Alex A.

Yes

Lynn

^ Calling that left-hand rule is so weird.

Alex A.

Top right corner, where it says "search." :P

@Lynn ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Roujo

1:29 AM

...

Lynn

1. There are already too many hand rules, 2. That has nothing to do with hands

trichoplax

@AlexA. I'm glad you beat me to that - I was in the middle of typing "top left". Time to sleep again...

RikerW

@ThomasKwa shortest input command ti basic?

Alex A.

@trichoplax :D

Roujo

@Lynn Most rules have nothing to do with hands, so they have to make up for it somehow

Lynn

1:30 AM

What is with the terms left-hand and right-hand

Roujo

@Lynn They're all the hands that (most people) have?

Alex A.

It's discrinimation against center-handed people.

Roujo

There was the electricity one, that made pretty much sense

trichoplax

@Lynn The only ones that make sense to me are where you actually use your hand to remember the rule

Lynn

That seems like a very failed mnemonic. “Left... You know, the direction where your left hand is.”

Alex A.

1:31 AM

XD

Roujo

@AlexA. Discrimination: Even the Empty Set isn't safe!

2

Lynn

I’m thinking phrases like left-hand side

That’s ridiculous. Why not left-ear side?

trichoplax

Golf it to "left"

Roujo

@Lynn Hands were just more... handy?

Alex A.

Thomas Kwa

1:52 AM

@RikerW Input X. Two bytes plus the newline.

RikerW

Okay.

Thomas Kwa

Alternatively you can take input through Ans.

RikerW

Okay.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Also Prompt X

Thomas Kwa

Prompt is the same length.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:53 AM

If you need more than one variable, Prompt A,...,Z works too

Should I work on simplex?

I feel like its time.

El'endia Starman

@RikerW Gimme a few minutes to get this memory-management script working. What were you thinking of doing in Minecraft anyway?

RikerW

IDK

Maybe apple collecting.

Oh, we need more coal.

Maybe like 2 stacks?

El'endia Starman

Coal is so plentiful, haha. Check the house on top of the mountain. Look in the hoppers.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@All what would you call a 2D tape?

El'endia Starman

Lotta possibilities, but I think I'd say "memory grid".

Thomas Kwa

2:00 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ A glue?

El'endia Starman

Or "2D tape".

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman That sounds cool

I've always referred to it as a sheet, but that sounds weird

trichoplax

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ A plate?

A slate?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Slate > plate imo

I like that too

trichoplax

My first thought was sheet, too, but I think slate gives the impression of being intended for marks/writing

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

2:12 AM

Yeah, that's cool! Shorter than Memory Grid and easier to type. I'll go with that

hi @cyoce

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman @VoteToClose I have a functional version of simplex working!

undergroundmonorail

i was really excited for sm4sh when it was new and after playing it for a while i realized that i wasn't so much excited about sm4sh as i was about competitive smash in general so that's what got me into melee

El'endia Starman

Sm4sh meaning Smash 4? Smash Wii U?

undergroundmonorail

smash for 3ds/wii u

El'endia Starman

ahh, okay

@undergroundmonorail I started using Falco last week and he straight fire

undergroundmonorail

i play as captain falcon because that way whenever someone asks me who i main i can say "doug"

that's not actually the reason obviously but it's a nice bonus

mbomb007

Anyone know of a shorter way to check if something ==None in Python?

undergroundmonorail

i don't think there's a shorter way to specifically check none

Sp3000

As opposed to int/str/...?

mbomb007

no, it can be vague.

undergroundmonorail

2:59 AM

you could be able to abuse the fact that None is falsey, depending

mbomb007

Just found that not ... was shorter

Sp3000

(I mean what context)

undergroundmonorail

like if it's either going to be None or a nonempty string the check is just if <the thing>

Q: Shorten your code golfes

When coding code golfes it's hard to look at function and keeping it short, so I'm thinking of a script which shorts the language it's written in. I already tried it in PHP and it kinda works: View it on Github Rules Script should be able to take a file, shorten content and put it in another ...

Lynn

Such golfe. Many byte. Wow

Zach Gates

3:50 AM

Could someone take a look at my Sandboxed challenge before I post it?

A confirmation viewing

Thomas Kwa

@ZachGates Input methods: is (a+bi,c) for each point allowed?

Zach Gates

@ThomasKwa However you want to receive/define the X, Y, and Z values is acceptable, as long as no other data is passed.

Thomas Kwa

Also, you should clarify the whole vertical thing

Zach Gates

I can't think of a way to describe it /:

We had started a whole room to discuss the semantics of it

Thomas Kwa

What exactly does 6 digit precision mean? Lines are infinitely thin.

trichoplax

3:55 AM

@ZachGates The comments seem to answer most of the uncertainties, but you'll need to edit the question to reflect them before we can give a useful proof read. For example, the question still refers to digits, instead of significant figures.

Thomas Kwa

I'd also recommend against allowing hardcoded input.

Cyoce

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ hey

what do you guys think of the new syntax theme? I also added bracket matching

output.jsbin.com/zawapi

Zach Gates

@trichoplax Fixed the sigfig thing (I think)

@ThomasKwa Added that just now

Still not sure how to be more clear on the "vertical" thing
