Text web browser

Lynx (web browser)

Lynx is a highly configurable text-based web browser for use on cursor-addressable character cell terminals. As of 2015, it is the oldest web browser currently in general use and development, having started in 1992. == History == Lynx was a product of the Distributed Computing Group within Academic Computing Services of the University of Kansas, and was initially developed in 1992 by a team of students at the university (Lou Montulli, Michael Grobe and Charles Rezac) as a hypertext browser used solely to distribute campus information as part of a Campus-Wide Information Server and for browsing...

@VTCAKAVSMoACE I should make an API helper for Stack Exchange.

Because I want to keep API keys secret, the API helper has to be primed with an API key.

@Quill Password storing in .bash_profile is not secure. Can you make this input through STDIN?

Quill

STDIN goes to bash_history anyway though

@Quill STDIN does not go to bash_history if you use read or equivalent.

Quill

hmmm okay

zyabin101

@MarsUltor how can I register a placeholder Stack App?

Q: Better way to read multiple int in C than scanf

I'm trying to read 4 ints in a golfing challenge and I'm bothered by the length of the code that I need to solve it: scanf("%d%d%d%d",&w,&x,&y,&z) that's 29 chars, which is huge considering that my total code size is 101 chars. I can rid of the first int since I don't really need it, so I get ...

Quill

11:08 AM

@zyabin101 it's an API... like a normal API

zyabin101

@Quill Okay.

So I ping /sites via cURL, then pipe it to jq so it could format the JSON it would return.

But instead:

parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 42

Quill

print the output instead and see what it returns

zyabin101

It fills the terminal with garbish.

This also includes grids. Grids everywhere.

(Grids are how the Git shell renders unknown characters using the APL font. I'm so used to the APL font.)

So the solution is to check the xxd output.

It outputs a long hex dump, the first few lines of which are:

00000000: 1f8b 0800 0000 0000 0400 d55c 6b8f a338  ...........\k..8

00000030: 5005 c800 a9ea da56 fff7 b936 24bc 6c83  P......V...6$.l.

I don't know how to parse this garbish. >:|

It does not resemble JSON in any way! What gives?

You could get an api token and have the after_success in Y push some sort of dummy commit

Quill

@mınxomaτ yes

quartata

2:24 PM

Make sure to use the travis gem to put the token as an encrypted environment variable

@Quill oh?

Quill

I have the same thing apply with my tests module

mınxomaτ

Dummy commit doesn't seem very elegant.

Quill

there's a postscript option in the .travis.yml

after_success: echo whatever

mınxomaτ

I know that.

stackoverflow.com/questions/17606874/… here are some solutions

Moar info: eng.rightscale.com/2015/04/27/dependent-builds-in-travis.html

quartata

Yea I suppose you could figure out how to automate clicking the restart button but a dummy commit seems easier

mınxomaτ

2:28 PM

Though, officially, Travis says this in response to dependent builds: "we have no immediate plans to add this feature."

@quartata I really don't like to mess with my commit log. I like the open-close a dummy PR approach.

quartata

Oh, I didn't see that. That's better.

although does that force a build on master or on the branch you're pulling from?

mınxomaτ

It's the branch that is concerned by the PR.

quartata

Right but which branch? If you want to merge master and asdf, will it build maser or asdf?

I assume master but

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Quill :DDDDD

Yes, master. I consider a dummy PR from brach:patch to branch.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I refactored the input type, and I added a roomlist, pingable and clear command

mınxomaτ

zyabin101

How can I crawl a part of the chat transcript?

mınxomaτ

What do you mean "crawl"?

zyabin101

Well, take a part of the chat transcript, get the parsed messages' HTML and put it in a text file.

mınxomaτ

2:58 PM

Like wget -qO- chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/240/6-9 | <something>? (240 is the day, 6-9 is the timeframe)

zyabin101

@mınxomaτ Yes, something like that.

But I need only the parsed messages, without metadata.

quartata

@mınxomaτ 240 is the room id

mınxomaτ

lynx has some HTML parsing built-ins. Or you could (but shouldn't) use RegEx. So grep on unix or findstr on windows.

@quartata Yes, right.

Bálint

Hi!

mınxomaτ

@zyabin101 regex101.com/r/gC5pM8/1

1/10 very lazy solution

zyabin101

3:07 PM

@mınxomaτ It fails.

mınxomaτ

Where?

zyabin101

Regex101 has a very small time limit of two seconds per computation.

The regex does not match in two seconds.

Regex101 interrupts it. :(

quartata

Then test it locally

mınxomaτ

Works for me.

zyabin101

Where could I obtain PCRE regex?

mınxomaτ

3:09 PM

PHP, AutoIt, Perl etc.

quartata

import re

mınxomaτ

AutoIt can parse HTML and has a built-in for getting text out of HTML bodies btw.

zyabin101

@quartata It uses Python's own flavour of regex IIRC.

mınxomaτ

RegEx is not going to work for stranger edge-cases.

quartata

@zyabin101 ...which is basically pcre

You really should just be using beautifulsoup though

mınxomaτ

3:14 PM

@zyabin101 Give me 5 min, I make you a proof of concept.

quartata

@mınxomaτ sshh let him figure out the joys of parsing html with regex on his own

it is a journey all programmers must experience (insert zalgo)

Luis Mendo

@KennyLau Space in MATL is used as a separator, so leading spaces can be safely removed

Kenny Lau

@LuisMendo Alright

zyabin101

@quartata I'll put it under his pillow.

quartata

But really, HTML is context-free don't use regex use a parser like beautifulsoup

@Quill you can't speak using SE Chat terminal.

Asks for a domain but not message.

And when typing the message says invalid command

You have to wait

Domains do not propagate that fast

Walhaz

*Walhaz (ᚹᚨᛚᚺᚨᛉ) is a reconstructed Proto-Germanic word, meaning "foreigner", "stranger", "Roman", "Romance-speaker", or "Celtic-speaker". The term was used by the ancient Germanic peoples to describe inhabitants of the former Western Roman Empire, who were largely romanised and spoke Latin or Celtic languages. The adjectival form is attested in Old Norse valskr, meaning "French", Old High German walhisk, meaning "Romance", Modern German welsch, used in Switzerland and South Tyrol for Romance-speakers, Dutch Waals "Walloon", Old English welisċ, wælisċ, wilisċ, meaning "Romano-British", and Modern...

@Fatalize She probably does, as she has a little kid.

But she does make some fun (some less fun) videos about german vs english.

I was watching an episode of Fringe the other day that took place in Germany. Every single actor and even voice over was an American trying to speak German. Apart from partly wrong translations, the thick american accent was hilarious. I mean, it can't be that hard to find an actual German in the US...

Q: Harvest energy in Screeps

Screeps is an MMO where you program creeps. Energy is used to do things in Screeps. There are energy sources which are harvested by creeps. We haven't had a challenge about Screeps before, so I thought I'd make one! Your job: Write some code to tell one or more creeps to harvest the nearest ene...

@trichoplax Hi Trichoplax, I'm hopeless at using this Chat. I assume the above comment refers to my answer to your sierpinski knot question

trichoplax

Yes it does - sorry I should have mentioned that...

the algorithm I use is tiny. It took me a while to pick it though. The hardest thing was drawing the fragments, actually, especially in svg as the arcs aren't defined by their centres.

what algorithm did you use?

trichoplax

I was thinking of golfing down my reference implementation so I can post it to show the approach. It might take me a while though. My approach uses Iterated Function Systems to place the centres of the arcs

@LevelRiverSt As impressive as your partial attempt is, I thought I'd let you know that technically we have a policy against partial answers: meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/7450/8478 (also meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/7987/8478). I'd prefer if you deleted the post while you're still working on it and undelete it once it completely solves the challenge.
