The Nineteenth Byte

@TùxCräftîñg What are you waiting for, share something to the Remaining Bytes!

:3

Zgarb

@Dennis Alright, no hurry.

TùxCräftîñg

@zyabin101 i have shared something

quartata

Huh, I thought (.)\K\1.*\1.+\K\1 would work

Are capture groups preserved?

Oh wait nevermind

Python regex doesn't have \K

so that's great

TùxCräftîñg

github.com/tuxcrafting/neoscript

now the parser can parse a lot of things

func f list =
 each x = list
  g(x)
 ;
;

is correctly parsed

zyabin101

@TùxCräftîñg I see. xD

TùxCräftîñg

17:10

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh wait

it's a standard loophole D:

quartata

@Dennis When you pull CG you'll need a new library: pip install python-pcre

mınxomaτ

Installing PacBSD (arch with BSD kernel) is harder than reading a book on nuclear physics written in Linear A.

quartata

hahaha

TùxCräftîñg

ಠ_ಠ

and the book is more interesting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

quartata

Why do you want a BSD kernel anyways?

zyabin101

17:16

@quartata You might put CG in a package, so that to pull, he just needs to pip install cinnamon-gum==maj.min.pat.qua where qua serially increments.

El'endia Starman

@flawr I think you might be thinking of this? The right-hand sidebar has four links to videos in the upper half.

zyabin101

With each commit.

mınxomaτ

@quartata Just wanted to try it.

quartata

@mınxomaτ large mistake

TùxCräftîñg

@zyabin101 npm: npm init && npm publish, pip: read a entire book, do Infinity manipulations, create a ini file, pip publish

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

17:18

@quartata :D my answer doesn't even use regex.

TùxCräftîñg

y u dont regex ಠ_ಠ

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

It's the perfect challenge for V since it's about 2d placement of strings.

@TùxCräftîñg cause I don't need it.

TùxCräftîñg

but the best answer is the cheddar one because String.turn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@quartata you should use cg on the slide challenge. I wanna see how they compare.

Q: Draw a ladder and slide

Your task is to create a program or function that takes, as input, a natural number (n) between 1 and 25 (inclusive) and prints an isometric representation of a slide and ladder with n number of rungs. Ladder and slide specifications The ladder is always oriented on the left and the slide on th...

quartata

Hey I'd make $115K at SO. Not bad.

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Ooh, lemme see

Hmm, doesn't look too bad. Let's see if I could do it

mınxomaτ

17:23

@quartata Well, the ubuntuBSD installation was pretty easy and fast. But with PacBSD, I just can't get the freeBSD init to work with ZFS...

Nor OpenRC.

LegionMammal978

@TùxCräftîñg To regex in Mathematica, you need a whole RegularExpression@"", making its own string patterns shorter in most cases

quartata

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan It would be golfier if I had some basic math but I can do that with a map I think

TùxCräftîñg

@LegionMammal978 mathematica is weird anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LegionMammal978

ikr

TùxCräftîñg

i mean Rotate["LOGIC", 180] print a reversed "LOGIC"

mınxomaτ

17:26

How backwards.

quartata

new so blag post

Man, my skill level was a 2.9... soooo clossseee

LegionMammal978

TùxCräftîñg

huh wat

LegionMammal978

You mean Rotate["LOGIC", Pi]?

TùxCräftîñg

ah

quartata

17:27

Nevermind the fact that Rotate[ makes no sense

LegionMammal978

Mathematica uses radians

TùxCräftîñg

the rotation is inradians

LegionMammal978

ninja'd

TùxCräftîñg

ಠ_ಠ ok mathematica is definitively weird

LegionMammal978

@quartata It's useful for Graphics objects

Rainbolt

17:28

Gah. Took me so long to write my SO question that lunch time crept up on me. Now I'm worried that if I go eat lunch, someone will leave a comment that requires my attention.

quartata

@LegionMammal978 Well yeah but why would we ever need to rotate text like that?

TùxCräftîñg

@quartata because Mathematica ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LegionMammal978

@quartata If you're embedding it into complex graphics, perhaps

quartata

I suppose.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Booyah! Got that last pesky byte off! \o/

quartata

17:29

What would be more useful is rotating it around another object

There's probably a shorter method, too lazy atm though

TùxCräftîñg

quartata

@LegionMammal978 Yeah, that's helpful for figures

El'endia Starman

@quartata It's weird how this is one of those things that surprises companies. I mean, who would've guessed that people would be more interested in your job offers if you tell them how much you'll pay upfront?

TimmyD

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan "V, <s>-join38..30</s>, 29" use a range operator to golf your header ;-)

quartata

@El'endiaStarman Yeah, I thought it would be obvious

I think SO's fear was that lower salary jobs wouldn't get as much promotion and those companies would yell at them but I mean if your base salary is too low for people to be interested that's your fault

LegionMammal978

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan You know what would be cool for both V and CG would be something that visualizes the control flow and the buffers

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Yeah, that would be really cool, but it would be extremely hard. Well, maybe.

TùxCräftîñg

is using calls good to index or i should create a syntax for indexing?

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

I suppose I could make it run in an external vim window (already implemented) and record it as it steps through. The only problem with that is that certain commands (mainly loops and recursion) playback too quickly to be interesting.

LegionMammal978

@quartata actually, I just tried it, and with some very minor changes, that works extremely well. Cool idea! I'm really excited to play around with it more.

quartata

Well that was quick

I might make a special online interpreter for the visualization

I'll probably modify each program to record it.

@zyabin101 I'd love the help! Right now, most of the really obvious bugs and needed improvements are fixed, so a code page is the most obvious next step. I'll get you a list of the ones I've already mapped.

@quartata Done and done.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

It might take me a little while though, cause I don't have them written down yet.

zyabin101

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan ASCII is already mapped.

zyabin101

@Dennis Congratulations, Dennis! It is verified working!

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Hmm, I didn't exactly mean a specific, explicit label, but more like "overused jokes/memes (avodad) are bad, being mean ('Alex is wrong') is bad, caret chains are bad, bunches of ASCII faces are bad, tons of images and gifs are bad, etc..."

How, in Vim, having the buffer containing a list of lines with numbers, to prefix each line w/ : and put a blank line after each line?

@Downgoat I think you missed a G in there.

Downgoat

haha, I disagree with all but being mean and various types of overuse. In moderation, these things (images, gifs, ASCII faces, caret chains, memes) aren't bad. And the only "labelled" type of being mean _per se_ is "Alex is wrong"--yet I still notice a larger amount of occurrences of obnoxious and/or disrespectful behaviour. I won't cite a reason because I don't know one, but I theorize that, with the installation of certain "rules", those who are younger (and thus those who have a higher tendency of rebellion, e.g. teenagers and pre-teens) have a more solid surface against which to react.

@Downgoat Otherwise it'll only get one line

Downgoat

ohhh yeah

;_: too late to edit

Ahh, I removed Vim from my phone because the volume keys have become dumb.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The point about giving [pre-]teens something more concrete to rebel against seems plausible to me. On the other hand, I feel like moving messages to Trash and kick-muting works pretty well for suppressing such behavior.
