So 1000 generations takes ~1 min (for virtually instant return). How many generations would be best?

1000000000

hmm

Thats quite a few

Q: It's Life, Jim, but not as we know it

You probably know Conway's Game of Life, the famous cellular automaton invented by mathematician John Conway. Life is a set of rules that, together, allow you to simulate a two-dimensional board of cells. The rules decide which cells on the board live and which ones die. With some imagination, y...

@muddyfish congrats on making that challenge reality :)

We did it!

martin strikes from shadows

@HelkaHomba are you planning to defeat (Martin) Ender sometime soon?

Helka Homba

Yeah

At least 28 people dead in blast at Istanbul airport

I've been to that airport :|

@HelkaHomba @Quill i figured out why istanbul isn't working

Maltysen

o_O

Quill

that's a bad joke

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

really bad joke

Downgoat

@Quill sorry if that joke was insensitive >_>

Quill

@optimizer did you really just

Optimizer

22:06

I guess.

Quill

aaaaanyway

istanbul, the code coverage tool, is borked on C9 because the source mappings tell it to look three folders up

Bald Bantha

created a moving chicken that is client controlled and syncs between clients, but its laggy..... trying to learn NODE.JS isn't as fun as i'd thought..... doesn't work very well

Quill

which is out of the Cheddar folder

@BaldBantha are you using WebSockets?

Bald Bantha

no socket.io

Maltysen

@BaldBantha that's websockets internally (well, and long-polling fallback)

Bald Bantha

22:10

yeah. but websockets is.... really, really, really stripped down IMO

Quill

I was more talking about the concept of web sockets, than the specific node ws implementation

Bald Bantha

trina fix the lag

my code is proboobobly ( i can never spell that) awful

Maltysen

you wanna try and estimate position based on the lag

Quill

or maybe just your computer is slow?

Maltysen

spline interpolation and whatnot

Quill

22:13

There's a good paper on it, by one of the architects of Source

Bald Bantha

@Quill I don't think that's the case, It's with the code or the wifi I think

Downgoat

22:25

@Quill so it's a prolbem with the source maps?

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@muddyfish wow. I never thought I'd see this day come. Truly, this is a Momentus occasion.

Quill

kinda sorta. I don't really know how to fix it and the case is pretty implementation specific so I don't know how good help on SO would be at it

if you compiled the JS in the same folder and cleaned it, the paths would be the same and the sourcemaps would come out fine

it's just those HTML reports that break, which you don't even need for codecov and coveralls (just the JSON)

Downgoat

okay, I think I can write a custom build for tests maybe.

though the HTML reports are useful so I know what to increase coverage on before pushing >_>

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

What's the best way to do a challenge with calculating floating point numbers? How much precision should I require?

Downgoat

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan as much as your language's default floating point type supports. Maybe specify it should "theoretically" work perfectly

i found a thing

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

22:31

That seems like a bad idea.

Downgoat

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan the latter or the former? Idk, maybe make a meta post if one doesn't exists yet about it

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Last time I did that, this happened:

A: Print the N-bonacci sequence

Boolfuck, 6 bytes ,,[;+] You can safely assume no N-Bonacci numbers will exceed the default number type in your language. The default number type in Boolfuck is a bit. Assuming this also extends to the input numbers N and X, and given that N>0, there are only two possible inputs - 10 (whi...

Downgoat

there's standard loophole against that tho now

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Meh. Still seems prone to abuse.

Downgoat

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan +100 for being DJ McGoathem 10/10 great username

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan maybe just add "at lesat two decimal places of prescision", along with the above.

though abuse is kinda what this site is about

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

22:35

Wouldn't significant digits be a better measure?

Downgoat

yeah

Quill

@Downgoat just do the JS cleaning like I said it should be fine

Downgoat

ok, so, build JS in src/, run tests, then clean those JS files?

@MᴀʀsUʟᴛᴏʀ I know there is a lambda parser for Cheddar but do you know if we made a function parser?

question: what should be the syntax for constructing a class? new foo() seems too C#ish

:D typeof and return are the same length

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

22:50

I'm not against new foo()

Maltysen

<foo>()

just something different

Optimizer

<bar>() ?

@NewMainPosts Silly NMP, simple jobs are for kids

Downgoat

How should class initialization be?

Maltysen

@Downgoat <foo>(a, b)

Downgoat

wait seriously

why

Maltysen

22:59

idk. <foo> could be syntax for the foo constructor

Optimizer

a:foo:b

Maltysen

@Optimizer what if you have 3 parameters

Optimizer

a:foo:b
  ' '
   c

Downgoat

what if you have 4

Optimizer

   a
  . .
d:foo:b
  ' '
   c

Downgoat

23:01

what if you have 5

Optimizer

language limitation'

not more than 4

Quill

IMO use <type> for generics and new Type(..params) for type construction

Maltysen

@Optimizer why not use .'s for both top and bottom?

Optimizer

@Maltysen should be close to foo

Maltysen

@Downgoat bundle into a list

Downgoat

23:04

@Maltysen gravity compresses the ' into a .

Optimizer

honestly speaking

foo:a:b:c:d:e

Maltysen

what about named parameters?

Downgoat

i was considering foo:(a,b,c) but that just looks weird

Optimizer

its JS for god's sake

foo:a:b:c looks awesome

Downgoat

not realy

Left side of road drivers: do you use your left foot to work the pedals?

And are drive throughs easier since you can use your dominant right arm?

Optimizer

I sit on it first and which ever pedal is up, use that side

Downgoat

isn't (TOKEN.Reference === null || !TOKEN.Reference) equivalent to ( !TOKEN.Reference)?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

yes

null is falsey

Downgoat

for some reason it isn't

everything borks when ic hange it ._.

@Downgoat how can I make an object callable as a function?

Downgoat

functions are objects

so just make a function

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

it's a class

I want to have, say, let a = new V(); a(3);

Downgoat

an ES6 class? then you can't, there is proposed syntax though

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ oh um

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you can't >_>

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

there's no symbol for calling? weird

Downgoat

though you can do :

function V() {
    var func = < your fucntion >;
    func.__proto__ = this.__proto__;
    return func
}

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

;_; ono circular dependency error

quartata

You really, really should make your own require_once

Alex A.

C/C++ question: What does #define F(X) F_ ## X ## _ do?

Downgoat

node require is require_once

quartata

@Downgoat Doesn't sound like it

@AlexA. ## concatenates two tokens

Downgoat

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

quartata

23:58

So F(fooey) is replaced with fooey_X_ I believe

Alex A.

Oh okay, that's kind of what I thought would happen. Thanks!

halp, how fix circular dependency ;-; shit i think its impossible to fix this one

though two days is pretty long for a bug fix
