Would enumerate all valid brain-flak programs be an interesting challenge?

Conor O'Brien

it might be

DJMcMayhem

00:04

We already have the same for brainfuck, but the syntax is very different

Conor O'Brien

I'd sandbox it

DJMcMayhem

Actually, you could just simplify it down to enumerate all balanced strings of the brackets '(){}[]<>'

which is the same thing, but more general

> What are the common units of measure for processing speed of a CPU (i.e., how fast a computer is)?

ಠ_ಠ High clock speed =/= fast computer

DJMcMayhem

It kinda does though

Maltysen

wow today's xkcd is scary

DJMcMayhem

00:12

Obviously it's not that simple since there are other factors (number of cores, architecture, cache size, AMD vs intel) but higher clock speed is always faster

Conor O'Brien

even when a while loop makes sense, use a goto

Downgoat

@DJMcMayhem high clock speed if faster than low clock speed but clock speed does not mean how fast your computer is

DJMcMayhem

Fair, but there is no unit of "computer speed" or even any way to know what that would look like. Clock speed is the closest unit we have

Q: Can I wear a shield and fight with a two-handed weapon?

In my group, we've been working with the understanding that you can wear a shield and fight with a two-handed weapon, the assumption being that you only get the +2 AC if you're actively wielding the shield with 1 hand. We're treating "wielding" a shield as different from "wearing" a shield. When ...

@Downgoat e.g. the LSB of 11111110 is the 0 at the end, the LSB of 1001 is the second 1 at the end. The "location is bit 0" is probably just using a convention that numbers a bit based on which power of 2 it corresponds to.

@Downgoat It's sometimes nice though. I like to have 2-3 earbuds that I can carry around and use when I don't really care about sound quality (like if I'm just goofing around, watching yt on my phone) or take on road trips, cause then I don't really have to care if they break or not.

A: Mapping Ctrl with equal sign

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Vim relies upon ASCII representations of keystrokes, so it can only map to keys that produce ASCII results. Here is every ctrl+key that you can map to, and the byte it represents. Ctrl-@ 0x00 NUL Ctrl-A to Ctrl-Z 0x01 to 0x1A...

It's \ by default, but you can map it to whatever you want. Basically, it's a way to make it easier to define your own mappings without worrying about overwriting other mappings

I see <Leader> quite often in other people's vimrc files. Like this one. What is it? What does it do?

@DJMcMayhem so why do they let you keeup using both

Why no answers

@ASCII-only The first is a crappy one that picked up for free a long time ago, and the second one is the "official" company computer they bought me (recently). So I own the first one, the company owns the second one. Problem is, I've been trying to switch over to the company one, but the older one has a project on it that the newer one doesn't like so I'm using both until I figure it out

@DJMcMayhem Doesn't sound like a long story to me :P
