You need to have matplotlib already installed to do any graphing.

quartata

Yeah, I have it.

Although I might not have it for Python 3.. lemme see

zyabin101

@El'endiaStarman Which day had the most one box messages?

El'endia Starman

parseConvos is the main function you want to use, and it returns a dictionary with three elements. The most relevant one is the one associated with 'messages', which is a dictionary where message ids are the keys and the values are yet another dictionary, with three attributes: content, user id (uid), and user name (name).

TimmyD

@Poke That's pretty dang cool.

El'endia Starman

18:05

@zyabin101 Can't tell you that yet - I haven't yet created a database with most or all of the chat transcript.

I can get data and calculate statistics for specific days.

Nathan Merrill

@Poke the hardest part with Knuth-Pratt algorithm is when the character appears multiple times in the searching string

for example, if my search string was "aaaaaaa", and I found an "a", I'd be testing 7 different possible ending points

zyabin101

Who here likes an idea of a time zone census of PPCG users?

Sherlock9

I'd be okay with it

TimmyD

@NathanMerrill I'm still confused by your comment on my Sandbox post. Given that the hole is larger than the end of the line, should I just keep the hole rectangular, so that line gets extended? Or should the hole have an indent in it? I suppose I could also adjust the hole definition so that it's allowed at the very edges of the text and that would eliminate the issue.

Sherlock9

Seems like a Wikipedia search for all currently used timezones and a strawpoll would do the trick

@zyabin101 CET is UTC+1.

muddyfish

@TimmyD lol Ok

zyabin101

@Sherlock9 @mınxomaτ Added!

mınxomaτ

18:23

@hexafraction The offset to UTC is always constant. Only locally that changes. E.g. CET is always UTC+1 (but it might be +2 some time during the year in Germany).

Sherlock9

Leaky Nun is UTC+8, I think. You may want to confirm with him though

$hexafraction$

hexafraction

Ah, OK. I was not aware of that. Thanks!

zyabin101

@LeakyNun Your time zone is UTC+8?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@zyabin101 EST, e.g.UTC-500

mınxomaτ

@hexafraction The daylight saving time in Europe has an extra time zone. So all CET becomes CEST in the Summer.

$hexafraction$

hexafraction

18:25

Ah

mınxomaτ

> As of 2011, all member states of the European Union observe summer time; those that use CET during the winter use Central European Summer Time (CEST) (or: UTC+02:00, daylight saving time) in summer (from last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October). The exceptions to this are only to Algeria and Tunisia, which use Central European Time all year round.

that makes sense

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill Sure. What's up?

zyabin101

@TùxCräftîñg Added!

Nathan Merrill

I'm trying to figure out the syntax for indicating traits for a class.

For example, indicating that an Int is bigger than 0

or in the range 0 to 4

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

halp meh

i need halp

mınxomaτ

@DmitryKudriavtsev oxforddictionaries.com

El'endia Starman

@DmitryKudriavtsev Just pull up a chair and stand on it to reach the top shelf.

(Don't just ask for help, say what you need help with.)

mınxomaτ

I figured it was orthography.

Nathan Merrill

do you like Int@min=0@max=4 or Int[min=0,min=4]?

mınxomaτ

@NathanMerrill Stop pinging me.

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill The latter by far.

@mınxomaτ Wait, you get pinged by stuff in code blocks?

Nathan Merrill

18:32

@El'endiaStarman what if I told you that not all traits have a value?

Int[unsigned,max=10]

mınxomaτ

@El'endiaStarman Yes. The @min

TùxCräftîñg

Golly is for android \o

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill I certainly prefer that syntax to putting @ in between traits.

muddyfish

@TimmyD codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/86826/32686, my answer

El'endia Starman

@mınxomaτ Hmm, I wonder if I should stop using \ for functions in Pytek and use @ instead...then I can randomly ping people all the time! :P

mınxomaτ

18:34

Isn't that technically a stealth ping.

Nathan Merrill

@El'endiaStarman and what about Int[unsigned,max(10)]?

El'endia Starman

@mınxomaτ No, a stealth ping is one you can't see. Actually, did the code get highlighted?

Nathan Merrill

the bonus is that I can pass multiple parameters to a Trait

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill Less preferable, but better than infixing @s.

Business Cat

@zyabin101 North American Eastern Time here

Which I believe is UTC -6

El'endia Starman

18:35

@NathanMerrill Hmm, that would be nice to have.

Nathan Merrill

so, you'd like Int[range=(4,5)] over Int[range(4,5)]

I guess its not that much more complicated

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill Hmm. Yeah, I suppose, but marginally so.

It might help you to write more pseudocode to see what style you prefer.

Nathan Merrill

I bounced back and forth when writing my pseudocode

TùxCräftîñg

Golly crash when i fhange the state on my phone (strange char)_(idk how to fopy)

Nathan Merrill

use Collections.*
use Optional.*

fun binarySearch(target: T)
        on (Ordered<T>,Indexed<Int,T>):
        Optional<Int[min=0,max=this.size]> {
    low = 0
    high = this.size - 1
    while (low <= high){
        mid = (low + high) / 2
        comparison = this.orderer(this[mid], target)
        if (comparison < 0){
            low = mid + 1
        } elif (comparison > 0){
            high = mid -1
        } else {
            return Some(mid)
        }
    }
    return None
}

zyabin101

18:40

@BusinessCat Added!

Nathan Merrill

the other part I'm unsure about is the on statement. (Its indicating that its an extension method for any object that implements both Ordered<T> and Indexed<Int,T>)

I'm not a huge fan of where its at

zyabin101

Also, Business Cat, do you want to work on MtG cards?

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill Maybe use for instead? Oh wait, no, that probably wouldn't be a good idea...

Nathan Merrill

that was actually iteration 2

iteration 1 was ExtensionClass.funcName

but I didn't like that because the function name is more important than the class name

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

help me please, I need an idea for something to submit.

Nathan Merrill

18:43

I mean, I could do for. A for loop at that location makes no sense, so it wouldn't be ambiguous

feersum

I say ditch the "this" and have the container by a regular parameter.

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill Yeah, I did eventually realize that.

feersum

Also your return type seems to have a bug.

Nathan Merrill

@feersum like python?

so, the first parameter is self?

feersum

@NathanMerrill No not like that.

Just a free-standing function.

Nathan Merrill

18:45

oh, right, it could totally be a free-standing function. I definitely want extension methods, so I need a syntax to support it

feersum

What would you do for an algorithm that uses two containers?

It wouldn't naturally belong to one of them.

Nathan Merrill

any sorted List<> would implement the two interfaces

@feersum what do you mean by this?

oh wait, I realized a bug in my syntax

feersum

Wait, does max 10 mean the highest is 10 or the highest is 9?

Nathan Merrill

9

TùxCräftîñg

9

feersum

18:49

Never mind then.

Nathan Merrill

Ordered is a trait, not an interface.

TùxCräftîñg

In general ranges are [x..y)

Nathan Merrill

so, it should be on (Indexed<Int,T>[ordered])

hmmm

that doesn't make sense

El'endia Starman

@TùxCräftîñg Well, that's Pytek syntax for ranges, yes.

I haven't seen it much elsewhere.

TùxCräftîñg

@El'endiaStarman neoscript use a variation of it x:(step=1]:y

The step is opyional

El'endia Starman

18:54

@TùxCräftîñg That's so different you can't call it a "variation".

TùxCräftîñg

:/

Nathan Merrill

bah, I need someway to collect parameters on traits

TùxCräftîñg

Its easy to parse

Hrb

Nathan Merrill

my first thought was to do on (Indexed<Int,T>[orderedby=U]), and then use U.orderer, but that doesn't make sense because U isn't a type

feersum

@NathanMerrill Do you know C++? The things you are getting at are very much like the STL.

Nathan Merrill

18:58

@feersum oh, I know

and I understand the basics of templating

feersum

The C++ binary search algorithms also support searching for an object that is a different type from the list elements, which is often useful.

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

@fe

I'm not really familiar with C++'s advanced features.

How do you write a lambda function and assign it to a function pointer?

Also, are there map literals?

Nathan Merrill

@feersum we're talking searching in an int array for a double?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@mınxomaτ what would this entail?

@NathanMerrill Yep.

How do you call this function?

feersum

19:03

f()

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

*f(1,2)

**

???

You don't need to dereference it?

feersum

No.

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

That is very strange.

TùxCräftîñg

@feersum functions arr pointrr

feersum

You can only assign directly to function pointer if the lambda has no captures though.

TùxCräftîñg

19:04

Huh wrong ping

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

When were lambda functions introduced?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@mınxomaτ cool, thanks. I'd love to join my internet is unpredictable & microphone sucks. Look forward to listening to it though!

TùxCräftîñg

Cxx11

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

What was introduced in C++14?

Nathan Merrill

but, in comparison to C++'s type system, traits are going to be a bit different, because they can be implied, and don't need to be declared. For example, performing a test a > 0 implies that a has the Unsigned trait inside the true condition

mınxomaτ

19:06

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The internet connection is not relevant for the recording and there are hardly any really bad microphones.

Dmitry Kudriavtsev

@mınxomaτ Tell that to my POS microphone

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@mınxomaτ "A stable enough internet connection so that while the conversation is running, you can be understood"--my internet drops randomly.

but, that's just a personal opinion

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@DmitryKudriavtsev sorry, kind of a meme. "Mod abuse 11" is when a moderator edits a message to say something else. Abuse here is more sarcastic than anything else. To "eleven" a message is for a moderator to commit "mod abuse 11"

quartata

@Doorknob Weak. I have mine memorized

Doorknob

I do have a password store for less commonly used passwords though

Nathan Merrill

wait, you have a password for nethack?

Phrancis

"The Far Side" (Gary Larson) comics are good if you are into sarcasm (and physical books)

quartata

@NathanMerrill For playing online at NAO? yes

@Phrancis rip far side never forget

Nathan Merrill

oh, ok lol

I thought it was a local version of nethack

you never know, those crazy hackers might just want to kill some time by playing your game of nethack

I mean, Doorknob might have encrypted his save/scores

I hear he's really working hard on that beard

@Sherlock9 Thanks!

@muddyfish Thanks!

Sherlock9

Well, I have a list of about 30 webcomics that I can recommend now or narrow down first. Comics that I check regularly

Would you prefer the whole list or should I condense it first, @flawr?

flawr

@Sherlock9 Well my problem is that when I open my list, it already touches almost the bottom of my screen =/

Phrancis

@quartata ikr

flawr

So I'll probably need a bigger screen.

Sherlock9

Hm, that's a problem

flawr

20:17

Didn't we already exchange our lists at some point?

Sherlock9

Let me post it for anyone interested, and we'll see if there's overlap

Comics that I check regularly: Gunnerkrigg Court, Girl Genius, Dumbing of Age, Schlock Mercenary, Archipelago, PVP, Table Titans, Paranatural, Octopus Pie, Questionable Content, Woodson, Widdershins, El Goonish Shive, It Never Rains, Skin Deep, Something Positive, Star Power, Freefall, Grrl Power, Kiwi Blitz, Leftover Soup, Between Failures, Blood Spattered Socks, Monster Pulse, Monsterkind, xkcd, Cucumber Quest, Pin Porter Girl Detective, How to Be a Werewolf, and Panthera

flawr

A few months ago or so?

Sherlock9

@flawr I thought so, but I don't see it in the transcript

Doorknob

@Sherlock9 You should add SMBC to that list :D

TimmyD

Queen of Wands comic is best comic.

Sherlock9

20:17

Let me look again

@Doorknob I should, but it has been a while since I could binge read, and that list is only the comics that I have read most or all of the archives and read regularly

SMBC is at, what, 3000 comics now?

Nathan Merrill

@Sherlock9 do you have some sort of aggregator?

Sherlock9

I check them one at a time like a pleb :D

Nathan Merrill

so you have a huge list of links oO

flawr

@Sherlock9 Want mine too?

Sherlock9

@flawr Well, it's not in the transcript. Did we share lists in Discord chat perhaps?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:20

@Sherlock9 you should regularly check mine once I figure out a good system for posting them

Sherlock9

Yes, please :D

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Noted

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

kk :3

Sherlock9

Also, my brother's comic should be on there, but he hasn't posted in a while

flawr

@Sherlock9 I've never been on discord

Sherlock9

Hrm. That's weird. Well, if you want to post your list here or in pastebin or something, I'd be happy to check them out in the morning

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:25

how do I reverse an init made by git?

Sherlock9

Belated @flawr

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ rm -rf .git

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat oh thanks

Sherlock9

About posting your comics, Conor. Have you considered any of the following comic hosting sites: SmackJeeves, Comic Fury, Tumblr, The Duck

flawr

@Sherlock9 And I'll never be

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:26

@Sherlock9 never heard of them. was going to host on github >_>

flawr

@Sherlock9 a gist with a html-y list (didn't know any other way to export)

Sherlock9

@flawr Ah well :D

At some point, I'll give you a gist of the above comics (maybe a few additions/deletions) with links

flawr

I just didn't know any other way to export them

Sherlock9

Well, I just figure I should give you the links somehow. Here I just dumped all the names on you :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

20:49

how do I checkout the gh-pages branch like a normal branch?

Nathan Merrill

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ git checkout origin/gh-pages?
