@Mego why?

Nathan Merrill

@Mego you can't do instances with functionality

orlp

@ConorO'Brien in the unlikely event that a program can be written using just that subset of your codepage it means you don't need a special editor/converter program to turn it into your code page

Conor O'Brien

I don't follow.

@ConorO'Brien you don't have to follow, you have to understand

Conor O'Brien

follow here is meant to refer to your train of thought.

00:07

@ConorO'Brien now you're talking about trains

@ConorO'Brien you do realize a codepage isn't just for fun and giggles?

it maps unicode characters to bytes

your interpreter reads those bytes

(not the unicode)

Conor O'Brien

@orlp that's what I'm doing it for. >_<

@NathanMerrill Why not?

orlp

if you put a-z etc on the position where they are in ASCII

then you don't need to convert from UTF-8 to your codepage

if the program you've written only uses ASCII characters from your codepage

Nathan Merrill

@Mego because I can't write Java code in JSON

the act() function is the entire reason I'm overriding/implementing the class

If you're going to do it at compile-time, with static abilities, the best way to do it would be to have the Ability interface and anonymous singleton classes that implement it

is there a way to do an efficient "after X has occurred Y times" event?

Anonymous

Fire it every time X happens, and keep a counter. Increment it every event. Once the counter reaches Y, do the thing.

Nathan Merrill

I mean, I can listen for X, and increment a counter each time it occurs, but there's a better way, right?

seshoumara

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ now it's a stopwatch: for((;;)){ clear;date -u -d @$[$(date +%s)-$t0] +%H:%M:%S;sleep 1; }

@NathanMerrill The other way would be to keep the counter on the other side and only fire the event when the counter reaches Y

Anonymous

01:26

But that's much less clean, since you'd have the after_X_Y_times logic mixed with the X logic

seshoumara

@PhiNotPi That's because it used to be only a serif I think, and still is in most serif fonts
