CMC: given an n, output -1 if the sum of n's factors is smaller than n, 0 if it's equal and 1 if it's larger

Dennis

Factors?

Martin Ender

n > 1?

Geobits

Since 1*n work as factors, I guess I should output 1 for any positive number at least.

Emigna

Woah, I see Dennis has a new face.

Sorry, factors other than n

Martin Ender

@DJMcMayhem do you mean divisors?

Geobits

What are the factors of -10? [-5,-2,2,5], or something else? Should [1,-1] be included?

wizzwizz4

Done: lambda x:x==0?0:-1

Dennis

@DJMcMayhem Does that mean prime factors, unique prime factos, divisors, something else?

wizzwizz4

6:08 PM

Wait... My code's wrong.

Fixed.

Geobits

TFW pinning down the specific of the CMC is more engaging than doing the CMC

DJMcMayhem

Pretend I never said anything. CMC: given an n greater than 1, output -1 if the sum of n's proper divisors is smaller than n, 0 if it's equal and 1 if it's larger

wizzwizz4

@DJMcMayhem Integer factors?

DJMcMayhem

Other than itself

Dennis

Do you mean proper divisors?

ninja'd

DJMcMayhem

6:09 PM

Yes, thanks.

facepalm

Is it clear now?

Geobits

As in n=12, divisors are 1,2,3,4,6, sum of 16. Correct?

DJMcMayhem

Yes, so output 1 because the sum is bigger than n

Geobits

I don't wanna

DJMcMayhem

No one's making you. :P

Geobits

You told me to output 1 :/

Well you can hook up displays through USB3

wizzwizz4

@Shebang XNOR is a simple boolean operation; I'm sure you can do that yourself! ;-p

Dennis

@DJMcMayhem Thank you for posting this. Made me realize four atoms had a bug.

Yodle

@Shebang Do GPU's have usb3 slots, or would you be hooking it up to the mobo at that point?

Shebang

In my very limited experience (my work setup), it would be the USB3 port on your motherboard.

wizzwizz4

@Yodle No, they don't afaik, so I assume the second one (whatever that means!)

Shebang

Although maybe a few GPUs have Type-C outputs.

Martin Ender

@mbomb007 I got the idea today after finding that Argentinian esolang design contest. I wonder how many participants one might be able to get for a weekend-long online langjam (like a ludum dare basically). I'm not really sure where and how to advertise is successfully

Yodle

PC also needs to have an i7 in it, and the price limit for the awhole thing (monitors excluded) is $800. Luckily we get a company discount, but I'm hoping for a pretty large % since that i7 alone is probably gonna be 1/4-1/2 the budget.

wizzwizz4

6:24 PM

I did it again... :-(

mbomb007

@MartinEnder Sounds interesting.

DJMcMayhem

@Dennis haha, np

Shebang

Why do you need an i7?

Poke

why is an i5 not sufficient

wizzwizz4

@Yodle 1/4 - 1/2 is -1/4, so get as many i7s as you can! :-)

Yodle

6:25 PM

It's some sort of simulator setup

Poke

...

the i7 alone is going to be like 300

and that's for an older model probably

the gpu is probably another 300

you still need ram

800 isn't enough for those reqs

He didn't mention anything about how much RAM

Poke

if you're rocking a top of the line cpu/gpu you better not skimp on ram

Yodle

I'm not even sure I need a super gpu either, I think even the gtx 7xx series could handle 3 touchscreens

Poke

6:29 PM

sounds like a really pretty simulator /sarcasm

nah 7xx is probably fine

if they're going to cap you at 800, they should just tell you the computer components to get or provide it for you

Yodle

Well I'm the one doing the research for them, they just know they want an i7 cause of the simulation aspect.

Poke

>.>

Yodle

But my experience with that starts and ends on pcpartpicker :P

Poke

i feel like an i5 would be more than capable... but whatever. DCS runs fine for you, right?

Yodle

Yeah, it's more of a flight training sim I think, but I really don't know any details.

Poke

6:34 PM

we can talk more about it later

Geobits

o_O They want to run a three monitor flight trainer for under $800?

Poke

^ on an i7

monitors aren't included in the cost though

Yodle

Well 800 is the budget for the PC itself, there's a second PC (not sure the purpose of) that's another $500, and the rest is for the monitors/stands/etc for a total budget of $2k

wizzwizz4

@Yodle I recommend XPlane. The demo gives you most of the decent features (I don't think it gives you joysticks though) and I've been told that the full version is great! The plugin API, while a little bloated from a golfing perspective, is great too.

@El'endiaStarman Is there a difference between Pagan and Heathen?

Geobits

Heathen generally means not following that particular religion (in the speaker's eyes). Pagan usually means it's some other religion, usually some "non-established" one.

El'endia Starman

@flawr They're usually synonymous for most people. I think "pagan" refers to a family (so to speak) of religions and "heathen" is more like "heretic".

Geobits

A Catholic might call an Atheist a heathen, but it wouldn't make sense to call them pagan.

El'endia Starman

@flawr She was almost certainly signing true ASL (or at least, something closer to it). I tend to sign many/most words in songs.

Martin Ender

@TimmyD Unless you start drinking and take out the NSFW version.

El'endia Starman

I learned about 600 vocabulary words (err, signs) in junior and senior years of high school, but didn't have anyone to practice with until the following summer (between high school and college), where I went to a summer program for deaf and hard of hearing students, and had a deaf roommate that preferred to sign. That's where I actually got decent at it, then I went to RIT, which has the second largest deaf population of any college...

I graduated last year, so about five years, more or less.

Unless you want to include the small amount of sign language I had as a young child.

TimmyD

@MartinEnder It's slightly more fun with the NSFW version, but it feels very ... non-strategy-oriented. Not quite as pre-determined as say WAR, but roughly on par with like Uno or Mille Bornes.

flawr

8:39 PM

Wow, that is really cool! How compatible is ASL with sign languages from other places?

Martin Ender

yeah on par with Uno sounds about right

TimmyD

For big game nights, we'll tend to play Catan, Carscasonne, Firefly, Castles of Burgundy. And Exploding kittens is definitely a step down in depth from those.

Martin Ender

or Mau Mau (which is popular in Germany): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mau_mau_(card_game)

I don't know Firefly and Castles of Burgundy but Catan and Carcassonne are nice

El'endia Starman

@flawr About as compatible as English is with languages from other countries. :P

Although sign languages are typically iconic, so I would bet that the average pair of deaf strangers would have a slightly easier time understanding each other than the average pair of hearing strangers.

flawr

@El'endiaStarman You mean since everyone else knows english?^^

@El'endiaStarman Oh ok

El'endia Starman

8:42 PM

ASL and BSL (British Sign Language) are totally different languages, incidentally. The latter has two-handed finger-spelling, for instance.

flawr

Woah, in the german WP it says on the one hand, the languages have many similarities that allow for a relatively good understanding. But on the other hand it already lists 12 dialects just within switzerland.

El'endia Starman

Yeah, sign languages are far less standardized than (the most-used) spoken languages.

TimmyD

@MartinEnder Oh yeah. I've played Mau Mau a couple times. It's horrible for someone like me, who wants to know all the rules ahead of time. Firefly is almost like a roleplaying game board game. There's an overall game victory objective, but you essentially fly around the Firefly universe, picking up missions and completing them, and upgrading your ship and crew along the way.

Castles of Burgundy has enough strategic depth to make Catan look like tic-tac-toe.

Nathan Merrill

I've played Mau quite a few times at my house

I've actually made a bunch of custom decks/elements so that I could add them in to the rules at any time

@Poke I just received Eldritch Horror yesterday. It's along the same lines as Arkham Horror (which I've played and liked), but supposedly more streamlined and a better experience.

Not sure if it has been mentioned already: Cards Against Humanity

I don't know. I played that once, and it was quite funny, but I've never had the desire to play it again.

(Although "What does Vin Diesel eat for breakfast?" --> "Tom Cruise." was hilarious :D)

My favorite grand strategy game, though, is Twilight Imperium. I've heard it best described as "The best strategy game you'll never play."

Oh, I'm big into Cards Against Humanity. It's like an addiction for me.

I think Eldritch Horror is a slimmed down version of Arkham but Arkham has quite a few expansions which I think makes it better. It's a tough game to play and some of it is luck based which can make it frustrating. You really need a dedicated group of people to play it, haha

that being said I haven't personally played Eldritch

I have sleeved all of my CaH cards, bought all of the official expansions and packs, and somewhere around a dozen of the unofficial expansions.

I have three Bigger Blacker Boxes stuffed to bursting with cards, and they're quickly overflowing into needing a fourth.

have people heard of Mystic Vale?

it's fairly new and it takes deck building games one step further by letting you construct the individual cards (from various components) during play

(haven't played it myself yet, but it looks interesting)

Interesting.
