What story?

Releasing Helium Nuclei

When you screened

Alex A.

Oh. Not really interesting. It was shortly after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, so security was pretty jumpy. I was randomly selected to have my shoes tested for explosive residue. They didn't find any and I was able to keep on my way to go visit my grandparents.

DJMcMayhem

@AlexA. Oh, I thought you replied to easterly, not mego

Alex A.

Oh, hah, nope.

Releasing Helium Nuclei

why no love for caretta carettas ;_;

Alex A.

23:06

Perhaps because they're colloquially known as "loggerheads"?

Releasing Helium Nuclei

Oh my English borked

We don't have a word for them so we use the Latin one

Mitch Schwartz

if there's something i don't understand, then it's definitely your job to explain it to me, whether or not it is clear. god forbid i should have to think or look something up

Releasing Helium Nuclei

"Loggerheads bite swimmers!!1!"

But they swim where loggerheads lay eggs

Fucking Hell

Fucking Hell is a German Pilsner or pale lager. It is named after the village of Fucking in Austria. The beer's name (which also plays on hell, the German word for 'pale' and a typical description of this kind of beer) was initially controversial. Both the local authorities in Fucking and the European Union's Trade Marks and Designs Registration Office initially objected to the name. It was eventually accepted and the lager is now sold internationally. Fucking Hell is a Pilsner with an alcohol content of 4.9%. The beer is not brewed in Fucking, and at the time of its launch the village had no brewery...

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Do you have any cmc?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ thanks, I do appreciate the congrats!

@LeakyNun ring a bell (or print ␇ or \a or 0x07) and exit

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@LeakyNun and @ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ I know it may seem petty, but I would appreciate avoiding using the f bomb without satisfactory context (as in brainf***) if you could

I know its in good taste, but it could be offensive.

Leaky Nun

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ what about a built-in

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

@RohanJhunjhunwala well, can't send it to trash/delete it

Releasing Helium Nuclei

+++++++. in Brainfuck

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

23:37

@LeakyNun any built-ins would be longer

Leaky Nun

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ just use it for the fun

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

@LeakyNun and I don't believe there's one anyway

Leaky Nun

@RohanJhunjhunwala calm the brainfuck down

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ its ok I understand, you don't need to delete it just avoid it in the future :D. (personally I don't mind too much, but please do avoid it)

@LeakyNun now that remark deserves a star :D

Releasing Helium Nuclei

@RohanJhunjhunwala just a star?

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

23:39

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei you can star it again if you wish so it wil lhave two stars

@LeakyNun I have no issue with it, but I think it could be avoided, thats all.

thanks

oh unstarred :(

Releasing Helium Nuclei

I'm srs @LeakyNun how would you ring a bell with Brachylog?

Leaky Nun

I thought it is used a lot in the states

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei no idea

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@LeakyNun no escape characters in brachylog/

Leaky Nun

@Fatalize when will you implement int->char conversion?

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

?

quartata

23:42

@LeakyNun If you mean like chr I think in Prolog (like in Erlang) strings are just lists of numbers so just wrap it in a list

I could be wrong

Leaky Nun

@quartata so just 7w? try it

i'm on mobile

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Mathematica, 23 bytes: $Output~WriteString~"␇" (replace ␇ with literal BEL)

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

brachylog.tryitonline.net/#code=N3cK&input=

no good :D

quartata

No, like [7]w is what I meant.

Leaky Nun

23:44

it still shouldnt succeed

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

brachylog.tryitonline.net/#code=Wzdddwo&input=

no dice :(

It needs a way to explicitlly cast an int to a char like leaky nun said :D

Releasing Helium Nuclei

like C putchar(7);

quartata

#@ fails

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei In C chars are just a number type so

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

System.out.println((char)7);

Leaky Nun

we don't have char conversion yet in brachylog

so just get over it

quartata

23:47

You still have inline Prolog, right?

Or was that removed when the parser got rewritten

Leaky Nun

???

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

or
System.out.println(new char[]{7});

Leaky Nun

how juic inline prolog

Releasing Helium Nuclei

printf("\a"); looks nice

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

since Brachylog transipiles to prolog, can you add arbitrary prolog to a brachylog program?

Leaky Nun

23:48

not really

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

oh

Leaky Nun

unless i'm mistaken

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

:(

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@RohanJhunjhunwala :D

quartata

@LeakyNun It used to be that things between backticks was interpreted as Prolog

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

23:48

hey @EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ :D

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

i upvoted one of your posts by chance, and noticed you were at 997 before it. :P

quartata

This was back when the interpreter was written in Java so it probably isn't there anymore

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

:D thanks!

Leaky Nun

@quartata I can assure you backticks have their own use now

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

:(

the try-it-online interpeter is bash

a prolog implementation in bash is NOT trivial :(

Releasing Helium Nuclei

23:50

Prolog is based on C, so is Brachylog based on C?

quartata

@RohanJhunjhunwala ??

The backend is written in bash not the interpreters

Leaky Nun

Brachylog is based on Prolog

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@quartata explain?

confused

backend for what?

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Brachylog can transpile into prolog

quartata

TIO

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

yeah

quartata

23:52

The backend is a CGI bash script

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

so the backend for Try It Online would need to work on Prolog Code in order to add inline prolog. (If i'm not mistaken)

Releasing Helium Nuclei

@RohanJhunjhunwala and prolog compiler/interpreter/whatever is C

Leaky Nun

bash can run prolog

quartata

No???? It starts SWI-Prolog

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei idk about that, if it does than I guess that works?

@LeakyNun than I guess you may wish to consider adding inline prolog

Leaky Nun

23:53

@RohanJhunjhunwala doesn't mean you can add inline prolog

can you add inline C code in Python?

Releasing Helium Nuclei

@RohanJhunjhunwala i've just looked at the github repo, yep it's c

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@LeakyNun is it possible for a bash script to run arbitrary prolog?

Leaky Nun

@RohanJhunjhunwala just invoke the prolog interpreter?

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

so, you could add inline prolog as a feature, where the inline prolog gets sent to a prolog interpreter, and the returned output comes back to the bash script?

Releasing Helium Nuclei

@LeakyNun just googled, yep gist.github.com/adamnew123456/12546e6e36607a63e254

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

23:55

Not too sure though

quartata

@RohanJhunjhunwala Uhhhhh

Leaky Nun

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei but not easily

quartata

I think you're really confused

The bash script has nothing to do with Brachylog

Releasing Helium Nuclei

@LeakyNun the Python code compiles the c code i think

quartata

Brachylog is written in Prolog. The bash script just runs it

All the language features are in the Prolog code

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

23:56

ok

Leaky Nun

@ConorO'Brien lmao

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

so the browser transpiles brachylog into prolog?

quartata

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Python does not transpile

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei python is an interpreted language

quartata

@RohanJhunjhunwala No. The browser sends a request to the bash script, the bash script runs the Prolog script that transpiles the Brachylog to Prolog and runs it

Leaky Nun

23:57

> Compiles a hunk of C code into a shared library, and links it into the
current program. Note that all libraries given (they are assumed to be
shared libraries) are also linked into the shared library, and thus
loaded into the current program as well.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

with (i believe) a C interpreter (on the window implementation)

quartata

Yeah, the "reference" implementation is CPython which is a JIT compiler that compiles to its own VM's bytecode

But PyPy is written in RPython

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@quartata (ok that is confusing) but, theoretically couldn't you modify the prolog script to allow arbitrary prolog be added between \p(prolog code)\p or a delimiter of your choice?

quartata

Yes, of course. It used to do that

That's what I'm saying

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

Ok lol. That was confusing xD
