Most ideographic languages I'd assume.

Zacharee1

02:08

darn it

missed the flag

quartata

In romanized Klingon lower and uppercase versions of letters are actually completely different letters

Geobits

Japanese kana use smaller versions of vowels for some things, but they're not used like capitalization.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think ASL uses case for much either.

Calvin's Hobbies

Just curious what android:textAllCaps does in various languages.

Geobits

Probably the same as .toUpperCase() would in Java.

Change it to upper if present, not change if not.

quartata

Lojban is lowercase except for some situations in names

Geobits

02:13

Wait. Don't use android:textAllCaps, for the love of god.

well they have a bachelors but its from a no-name college and all

@StevenH. beacuse current one is very slow

@Geobits ಠ_ಠ gaot has experience, i made various school projects with react

@Geobits ok fair

Geobits

Knowing react is probably one of the least important things for most react jobs. Being able to deal with all the petty bullshit that comes with developing in a team of wildly varying skill levels, and all the office politic crap, is usually more likely to get you hired.

They give that a blanket name of "fit" to make it sound normal ;)

@Geobits yes i have been told this before

it's in the format

this.grammar(bool,

    [a, b, c] // derivation 2

02:49

@NathanMerrill Ocelot 138k

[item] or [[item1, item2]] are optionals. and [item1, item2] is an OR

Nathan Merrill

@Downgoat are you going to write your compiler in Cheddar?

Downgoat

compiler?

Nathan Merrill

er, interpreter

:P

Downgoat

cheddar interpreter in cheddar?

wait what will soucre interpreter be written in

Steven H.

02:50

What's the bool for?

Nathan Merrill

@Downgoat you already have a cheddar language working

Downgoat

if bool is true, then each symbol will be allowed to have whitespace between them e.g. false, ["a","b"] means ab will match but not a b

Nathan Merrill

you simply use that language until you get your cheddar interpreter working

then its cheddar on cheddar

like pypy

Downgoat

but that is interpreted still

Steven H.

compiled cheddar?

Downgoat

02:51

i will be calling like node cheddar.js cheddar.cheddar

Steven H.

I can try to do that

Nathan Merrill

you don't even have an executable for cheddar?

Downgoat

nope :(

nodejs is JIT

Nathan Merrill

that's your problem

(in all honesty, you're fine, I just like the concept of eating your own dogfood)

Downgoat

O_o

you mean eating the tin cans at the factory you work at? :P

Steven H.

02:54

Honestly, I wouldn't mind trying to make a cheddar executable

Downgoat

I mean you could wrap entire cheddar code in one JS file and embed that in an executable which calls node

Nathan Merrill

02:55

hmm.

Calvin's Hobbies

@StevenH. A serious request: Make up new words of the same length for various dichotomies so they align better in code. e.g. left/right true/false yes/no in/out

Nathan Merrill

even if you were to pass in your source code through the command line, you still would want programs to be able to read the file system

Downgoat

I wrote "NullPointerBork" on HW... time to see if teacher subtracts points

fs module is also used for STDIN

because it reads from /dev/tty

Nathan Merrill

wow. that's pretty limited then

Steven H.

@Calvin'sHobbies use French:

Left right -> Gauche droite

Yes No -> Oui Non

True False -> vrai faux

Steven H.

In/Out can be spanish if you don't care about true grammar: Dentro/Afuera

Doorknob

Lojban:
left / right -> zunle / pritu
true / false -> jetnu / jitfa
yes / no -> je'ago'i / na'ego'i
in / out -> nenri / bartu

Calvin's Hobbies

@Doorknob You had me until yes/no

5

Geobits

03:06

Yeah, why is yes/no that complicated? Wouldn't a simpler je/na suffice?

Doorknob

Well, I had to cheat a little to get them to be the same length. Typically "yes" would be «go'i» and "no" would be «na go'i».

Steven H.

je'ago'i isn't usually a valid identifier, nor does it play nice with strings where single quotes would need escaping, though.

Calvin's Hobbies

@StevenH. Works for open/close -> ouvert/fermer, but not start/stop :/

Doorknob

open / close -> kalri / ganlo, start / stop -> cfari / (fanmo or sisti)

quartata

@Calvin'sHobbies *ouvrir

Calvin's Hobbies

03:11

It'd also be cool if there was a language where the length of words for numbers (or at least positive integers) was directly proportional to their digit length

quartata

That would be verbose

Calvin's Hobbies

@quartata Excusez-moi

Steven H.

@Calvin'sHobbies You could do Spanish for start/stop if you say "initiate" instead of start:

initiate/stop -> iniciar/detener

quartata

it's ok nobody cares

Calvin's Hobbies

@quartata Oh? Say it was only 3 letters per digit. 314 = Thronefou instead of Three hundred [and?] fourteen

Doorknob

03:14

Lojban does that too :P 3 -> ci, 14 -> pavo, 314 -> cipavo

quartata

Oh digit length. Oops.

Calvin's Hobbies

Ohhh, heh :P

Geobits

If you want it to be proportional to digit length, just use digits :P

Calvin's Hobbies

3, one digit. 31, two digits, etc

@NathanMerrill No, but neither does English, really ;)

Doorknob

@NathanMerrill Like one of these?

Nathan Merrill

huh. maybe its a utah thing

Calvin's Hobbies

@NathanMerrill I'd say "I'd be all for..." but no big deal :P

Nathan Merrill

03:21

both of them seem weird grammatically when I actually consider the words

Doorknob

@Calvin'sHobbies Yeah, to me as well the phrase is "all for" and never separated.

quartata

I don't think I've heard all be like that. Must be regional

Calvin's Hobbies

@Doorknob Perhaps "all in for"

Doorknob

I would parse that as "[all in] for."

Geobits

all = totally, for = in favor of

That's the way I see it

Nathan Merrill

@El'endiaStarman I can't fathom wanting to be a SO moderator. At least on code-golf you become famous, where on SO, the site is so huge, I feel like I rarely see them

I remember a year when I knew/saw all the people running for SO modship. Not so this time. I only even recognize a few.

quartata

The SO ~~mafia~~ mods have a lot of influence on the network especially on meta SE

Doorknob

Geobits

Downgoat

@Calvin'sHobbies i dont think its that, more so that users which aren't very-active in the PPCG community look at candidate score which is highly dependent on rep

that said, you don't have any lack of rep ;P

Geobits

High rep (in general) correlates to number of posts. More posts is more visibility, and more actual reputation. It's fairly natural for elected mods to have more rep than average.

DrMcMoylex

03:35

Everybody in chat has more rep then average, since the average rep is 1. :P

Nathan Merrill

you mean mode?

I'm pretty sure the average is higher than 1

DrMcMoylex

I meant median, but the mean is probably also pretty low

Geobits

Out of 1200+ pages of users, at least 700 pages have 101+ rep :D

So the median is most likely 101

This page seems to be full of median users: codegolf.stackexchange.com/…

DrMcMoylex

Nathan Merrill

that's a terrible graph. the 1+ includes both 1 and 101

Geobits

03:38

Yeah, what a weird cutoff there.

Nathan Merrill

although, it is interesting that we have 2 users above 50K, and they are both above 100K as well

Geobits

I'm fairly surprised there are over 1k 500+ users though.

DrMcMoylex

Average rep is 141

Nathan Merrill

huh, that's higher than I expected

I was guessing more like 120 or 110
