Almost every function can be expressed as a polynomial with infinite terms. For example, e^x = 1 + x + x^2/2! + x^3/3! + x^4/4! + ... For example, sin(x) = x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! + ... This is also called the Generating Function of that function. The coefficients of the n-th terms form ...

Got no valid submissions. >_>

@quartata I feel like I've asked this question before, but what's the shortest way in J to get nonoverlapping pairs from a list

There are two respondents.

> You have excluded 2 respondents from reports

Like [a,b,c,d] = [[a,b],[c,d]]?

4:47 PM

>_>

yeah

really, I'm trying to, given f, a b c d => a f b, c f d

I think that can be accomplished with an applied gerund tho

but pairs is better

hmmm

actually it can't be with an applied gerund, because J has no standard op precedence

Seems like dyadic $ might be able to help, lemme try

oh, yeah, that could work

4:54 PM

Oops it thinks #x 2 is # on the list x 2

]$~[%~[:#,~ works for lists of even lengths (2 f list)

wait no

@Upgoat cheddar-request: switch statement, if it doesn't exist

@Bálint what's your proposed syntax?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Well you just need it in the shape #x 2

idk

4:58 PM

Then you should just be able to unbox it I thought

@Upgoat could you come to the you know what beta room?

switch <condition> {
    <value1>:
         <stuff here>
    <value2>:
         <stuff here>
    <value3>:
         <stuff here>
}

Please no break

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 i did

Unfortunately I think the shape has to be constant because it keeps throwing errors

@Upgoat You did what?

4:59 PM

@Bálint idk, I don't like that syntax. If i'm going to make switches, i want them to have some cool feautre

let's go to cheddar room

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Good idea.

Ah, wish @wizzwizz4 be here...

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 I already proposed something for zyabinVI

@Bálint I don't see this finish right now.

Please wait wile I check the finishes.

@Bálint Uhh, I don't see any valid finishes from your name?

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 I didn't enter the name, because I forgot it,

5:05 PM

@Bálint I thought the question is manditory @_@

instant.ly, the survey builder I used for the poll, disallows editing the survey after someone responded to the survey. :(

@Bálint Then under which name did you submit the survey?

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 You will know wich is mine, I'm sure

@Bálint My name? @_@

@Bálint?

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Maybe it didn't go trough

@Bálint So, your submission was about avocad juic?

@Upgoat Your submission was about deleting Code Review.

I can't.

i don't know what you're talking about

someone probably used his name

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ And I know who.

who?

5:24 PM

@Upgoat

I remember how once I wrote a C# program (cont.)

It was ~500 lines long

I compiled it for the first time

@LegionMammal978 Where is the start?

and it had 0 bugs.

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Was trying to indicate that the message continues

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 im very confused right now

So, the zyabinVI new project poll is here.

It ends tomorrow at 19:30 UTC+3, so be fast.

5:32 PM

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Are the results being released earlier?

@LegionMammal978 Not.

Lynn

5:46 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ _2 f\ (a,b,c,d)

See x u\ y (Infix).

Oh, actually that will give you (f (a,b)) , (f (c,d))

@Lynn yeah, but I could do (f"1) _2 ]\ list

Lynn

Or _2 f/\ (a,b,c,d)

Because (f/ (a,b)) is just (a f b).

o.o that's really elegant, thanks

in C# you can have magic getters and setters on a variable. Can you reference that getter as a first class function?

Mr Rated Nine

@NathanMerrill Are member functions even first class in C#?

6:39 PM

hmmm

@MartinEnder Mr End Retina

Marten, I nerd

in Java when you do Class::methodName is that called a first class function?

I don't Java. if you can pass it around like any other object, it's a first class function

@MartinEnder Yeah, lots of great nag a rams: wordsmith.org/anagram/…

@dorukayhan Some other memes Dennis thinks they are bad and should retire a few years ago.

I'm not certain if that's the proper vernacular in java 8. It's more just a method reference. The compiler will implicitly wrap it in your functional interface

7:14 PM

@mbomb007 Uh, sorry, only wanted the last one

@NathanMerrill yeah and lambdas are wrapped in interfaces (generally Runnable or Callable<T>)

I don't think they are wrapped

they implement an interface, but I don't think they get wrapped

the only reason i say it like that is because suppose you have a function invoke which is overloaded to accept a Runnable or a Callable

if you run invoke(() -> something()) which one is going to be called?

TIL mended is a shorter version of recommended.

it depends on the return type of something()

7:26 PM

I have a question about git but I have no idea what to search so I'm going to ask here if anyone knows :3 :

So I have master branch:

    y-z

and I have develop branch:

    a-b-c-d-e-y-z

I want the structure to be:

  master:            y-z
  develop: a-b-c-d-e-y-z

where z-y are aligned, but git thinks it's:

  master:  y-z
  develop: a-b-c-d-e-y-z

any idea on how would I do the above?

but at this point implement vs wrapped is mostly semantics

in Haskell, is there a hack I can do to make foldl1 (,) [1..10] typecheck?

not for golfing, just playing with stuff

@Upgoat just for aesthetics?

@Upgoat You can also use the Stack Overflow git tag.

@Poke no, git thinks develop is like 225 commits ahead of master which isn't correct. This causes merge conflicts. Somehow "aligning" these would remove the merge conflicts everytime I made a fix

7:29 PM

oh ha

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 they are over 70,000 questions.... ಠ_ಠ

i thought you had some weird-ass branch names

@Poke this is not funny >:|

@xnor What do you mean by typecheck? (I probably cannot answer anyway=)

@flawr if you try to evaluate it, you get the error Occurs check: cannot construct the infinite type: a0 = (a0, a0)

7:32 PM

PS: I just recently discovered that (,) is a function. But now I am disappointed that (..) is not a function=)

@flawr yeah, enumFromTo isn't very golfy

@Upgoat if they're actually aligned is there a reason why you can't delete the local branch and pull it down again

@Poke what do you mean by that?

local branch = all the branches?

nevermind i understand now

you have additional commits on top of master

disclaimer: i'm no git guru. That being said, this smells like rebase territory

oh god pls no rebase

rebase = evil

i once lost an entire project due to rebase

7:36 PM

@xnor So you'd expect foldl1 (,) [1..10] to return (((((((((1,2),3),4),...) right?

merge = evil

May 19 at 1:52, by Downgoat

oh great, I fucked my entire commit history trying to fix it with rebase ;_;

merge ≠ evil

@flawr yes, and I'm not clear why it can't, since the elements of a tuple can have different types

@xnor The problem is that a function needs to have a constant type. You cannot have different return types for differen argument values.

7:37 PM

merge = essential

ten arm diner

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 you just kinda contradicted yourself there

E.g. foldl1 (,) [1,2] has the type (Int, Int) but foldl1 (,) [1,2,3] has type ((Int,Int),Int)

@aditsu wut

@flawr ah yes

7:38 PM

it's like a one armed bandit

@xnor And due to currying haskell first considers the function foldl1 (,)

Now I feel pround that I saw something quicker than one of the haskell grand masters here=)

@flawr congrats!

though i learned haskell not long ago just to golf

FryAmTheEggman

I still remember that one time xnor posted something like "I didn't know python did that" on one of my answers... Good times :)

I'm at a point where I got used to the basics, but I'm still struggling with the types/monads etc

I'm hyped for the Android N name choosing.

But I agree it is a cool language=)

I'm sure Nougat will win.

i think i'm in the minority of people here that don't actually really code except to golf

so everything you see in my golfs is everything i know

@xnor but your golfs are very good so you must know a lot

@flawr i really liked this explanation of monads etc

7:44 PM

ouch >_>

@xnor I think I'm also one of those. My amount of code on this site is probably way bigger than anything else I ever did.

It's TEA-time! code-golf cryptography Introduction A while back I stumbled across the tiny encryption algorithm (TEA) and since then I have recommended it whenever special cryptographic security properties were un-needed and a self-implementation was a requirement. Now today, we want to take...

Was just thinking of some kind robbers-and-cops challenge, where you'd have to write multiple programs of the exact same length that produce all the exact same output. (or same functionality). The more the better and the shorter the better. But it is invalidated if someone can outgolf you.

Serial voting was reversed.

So maybe they had additional accounts that rep-boosted.
