I mean, does your program get an image and print it in color ASCII?
 
@EriktheGolfer No, it reads the image from your mind
 
@EriktheGolfer No, it's a colored cat program, obviously
 
@TuxCopter that would be awesome
 
@mınxomaτ @TuxCopter Please. I just asked a question because I didn't know if the output is constant or if the program gets input.
 
i would make interactive but i dont want computer to blow up
 
8:01 PM
Oh, so output is constant.
 
Should I be worried about a faint, high-pitch whine coming from my phone charger plug for a full 30 seconds after it has been unplugged?
 
@BlueEyedBeast But I don't really see how it would color the output
 
@TuxCopter I don't either but
 
@Calvin'sHobbies It only mean than a soul is trapped in and try to get out.
More seriously it's weird
 
@EriktheGolfer no it gets image from reddit
 
8:03 PM
@Downgoat Now, I really want an answer if you can, not irony.
 
no im serious
it gets like top 5 image from reddit
 
It get images from /r/earthporn and make them ASCII
 
@TuxCopter It does it again if I plug it in for just a moment o.O
 
@TuxCopter Oh. So, it can help console users who happen to have internet to have at least one contact with nature?
 
Exactly

Dear Samsung: No more hidden souls in products please. - CH
Like all those exploding Notes...
 
Souls are (maybe?) because of Chinese workers taking their lives. Oh, and the lives took by Samsung Galaxy Note 7 are moving across all Samsung products as souls.
 
Samsung products are cemetery confirmed
 
Psst... I think CH has a... NOTE 7!!! RUN!! (if he does not, then I think he has some Galaxy S7 Edge, the next product in the row). If anyone is a Samsung employee, representative or anything, sorry :D
 
Google translate spotted ._.
 
@EriktheGolfer Nah just a reliable Samsung washing machine.
 
8:11 PM
@TuxCopter teacher has only taught us how to food in french so pls explain joke
 
@Calvin'sHobbies Well, washing machines can explode, too, especially if you constantly overload them :)
 
> croix-poteau d'/r/Europe
 
> cross-pole
wat
 
1. croix-poteau. seriously.
2. “de /r/Europe” would be more correct
 
@NewMainPosts that would be 12 bytes in V if I just implemented a certain feature...
 
8:13 PM
clearly / is vowel
 
It's 'slash' or 'barre oblique'
 
i mean if you have certain pixels on your screen borked / == y
wait is y vowel in french
 
@Downgoat Yes
 
ok

Q: Shortest code to throw a NullPointerException

KangaliooWell, the task is quite easy: just write a program which takes no input and throws a NullPointerException (or the equivalent is your language). You are not allowed to throw these by using a throw operator or something else (for example "throw new NullPointerException" in Java). The code should ...

 
I adjusted some lineheight and character spacing and now output is pretty cool:
idk, colors are less saturated in screenshot
 
Slope field?
 
wait wat
goat doesn't speak math
 
if I take a List<T>, and turn it into a Map<T, Integer> (where the integer is the count), what is that operation called?
 
Tally?
that's what Mathematica calls it
 
9:00 PM
@NathanMerrill enumerate
 
enumerate in python
 
at least thats what python uses
 
bah
neither of those are in Eclipse Collections
 
@Downgoat @Calvin'sHobbies I think you've both got it the wrong way round
 
they have a huge amount of available functions
but not this one :/
 
9:01 PM
@MartinEnder enumerate + reverse? :P
 
enumerate adds indices, not occurrence counts, right?
 
oh, yeah, enumerate is not what I want
yeah, enumerate is zip with index
 
@MartinEnder Yeah, we are wrong
 
@NathanMerrill histogram might be another useful keyword
 
Question: I am making a reddit bot, is it possible to do color in reddit comment?
btw anyone here familiar with ncurses
 
9:11 PM
What would you call this creature: <,,,.>
 
worm
 
<,,,.> could be some kind of insect
 
actually looks more liek earthworm
maybe like a *-pede

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

AngsError handling What's great about golfing is not having to deal with errors. Except now. I need to do a list of arithmetic operations with certain limitations, and I wan't to know what goes wrong if anything. Challenge Given a correct starting value and a sequence of calculations with addition...

 
10:02 PM
Yay upgraded to windows 10!
 
Python halp request:
I have this loop:
 
Yis python is my strength
 
for a in b:
    for c in a.foo:
        continue
but I want this continue to work on outermost loop
 
pls halp js has easy solution
 
10:07 PM
Wait on the outermost loop?
Ah
Uhhh
 
You're doing it wrong<tm/>
 
pls suggest alternative then
 
for a in b:
    for c in a.foo:
        loop = True
        continue
    if loop == True:
        continue
 
10:08 PM
It's really hacky
 
^
ill use exceptions
 
but it works
 
Eww. Is that really the best way to python that?
 
Nope
 
I don't think so
 
10:09 PM
@Geobits yes
proof python is bad lagnuage
sane languages have labels
 
@Downgoat :(
 
There has to be a better way to break out
 
Don't use my crap example to demonstrate your view on Python
:( :( :(

A: Python: Continuing to next iteration in outer loop

culebrónfor ii in range(200): for jj in range(200, 400): ...block0... if something: break else: ...block1... Break will break the inner loop, and block1 won't be executed (it will run only if the inner loop is exited normally).

 
for a in b:
    for c in a f.boo
        if (continue outer condition):
            break
    else:
        #rest of outer loop
 
10:11 PM
@BlueEyedBeast this is breaking not continuing
they have different behavior
 
Oh god. for...else ?
 
continue willl not run following code
 
:]
 
^^
 
I think it's the same thing?
 
10:11 PM
That's also disgusting
 
someone please explain wat for else is
 
I love for else, it fits a very common pattern.
 
Is that worse or better than my example?
 
When you want do do something depending whether you found something in a search loop.
 
so if break is not called it does #rest of outer loop
 
10:12 PM
python is one crazy language
 
Wait what is for/else
 
There's also try/except/else.
 
@Downgoat Wait is there list comprehension in JS?
Wot I'm learning so much Python here
 
@Qwerp-Derp yes
 
Wot
 
10:14 PM
[for (var pic in goatPics) render(pic)]
 
for ... else - else is called only when break is not used in the for
 
Am I just using a very old version of JS
 
@BlueEyedBeast You've got it forwards.
 
The accepted answer is not clearer if you've never seen for, else before (and I think even most people who have can't remember off the top of their head how it works). — asmeurer Jul 21 '14 at 20:08
 
@Downgoat Eurgh that looks awful
 
10:15 PM
ಠ_ಠ
are you kidding me
 
map(render, goatPics)
 
On the other hand, if you can remember 15 esolangs then you can probably remember how for-else works.
 
@Downgoat How do you do [str(x) for x in lis] in JS?
 
pls tell me how [(k, r) for k, r in d] makes sense
 
@feersum I think I've used it like once
And I do all my programming in python
 
10:16 PM
(Converts everything into string)
 
@Qwerp-Derp lis.map(str)
even better solution
 
Wait is there a more efficient way of [str(x) for x in lis] in Python?
 
If you're unfamiliar with it, naturally you won't spot the opportunities to use it.
 
pls halp stupid reddit rate limiting is stupid
@Qwerp-Derp haha
 
@Downgoat d is a list of things that can be broken into two pairs. d=[(0,0),(1,1)]; [(k*2, r+1) for k, r in d]
 
10:17 PM
@Downgoat ;_;
 
@Qwerp-Derp map(str, list) but only in py2
 
What about Py3?
The only tidbit I have with Python is that there's two different versions
 
@Qwerp-Derp yeah it's the easiest to read
otherwise map(str, list) gives a generator
which can be useful sometimes but not if you want a list
 
So in a list like [2, "derp", 0.5]
Which is called derp
 
is a list
 
10:19 PM
And then I do derp = map(str, derp)
 
a generator can only be iterated through once
 
derp then equals ["2", "derp", "0.5"] right?
 
in py2
 
[*map(str, my_very_very_cool_list)]
 
10:19 PM
yup
 
untested but should work
 
but that's so ugly
 
@BlueEyedBeast It do the work
And it's golfier
 
I should use that in code-golf
add it to a tips page or somthing

A: Tips for golfing in Python

TùxCräftîñgWhen mapping a function on a list in Python 3, instead of doing [f(x)for x in l] or list(map(f,l)), do [*map(f,l)]. The best solution is still switching to Python 2 though

 
10:23 PM
This is an odd question
but does anyone know where I can get royalty-free goat sounds
 
WTF
 
from itertools import count
list(map(print, count(1)))
is a cool infinite loop
 
Frequenting Downgoat seriously impacted you visibly
@BlueEyedBeast :O how it works
 
No, it's for a TF2 project
 
@TuxCopter count is an infinite generator that starts from it's first argument
 
10:25 PM
Ah
 
when list is called on the generator returned by map it goes infinite
 
Python equivalent of (map putStrLn.show [1..]) basically (Untested, haven't done haskell in months)
 
@Downgoat might know
Also @Downgoat I need your Upgoat avatar
Preferably in the highest quality you've got
 
Huh I got another 'user was removed' rep change
 
Transparent background would be a plus but not necessary
 
10:28 PM
@TuxCopter +Rep or -Rep?
 
-Rep
 
How much?
 
Question: would ansi code for bold & red be: \e[1;31m?
@quartata ok
 
A user who updooted one of my answer got modnuked visibly
@Downgoat Yes
 
i have an SVG but SE doesn't let me upload
you can probably trace the above however
 
10:29 PM
@Downgoat Great! Do you have Downgoat in the same resolution too?
 
What are you trying to do
 
@TuxCopter You'll see
 
@quartata yes
 
Such perfection
 
Why are the +1 and -1 different sizes
 
10:31 PM
Thanks a bundle
 
And in different places
 
because gaot majik
 
Not perfect enough
 
@Qwerp-Derp good question
 
Now for the hard part
 
10:36 PM
@PhiNotPi do you know of a place I can run a Mam algorithm through?
 
I just lost 10 reputation with the message "User was removed". Does that mean a user who had upvoted one of my posts was removed/deleted?
 
Yes
It happened to me too some minutes ago
11 mins ago, by TuxCopter
Huh I got another 'user was removed' rep change
 
Ah, I see that now
 
idk who was deleted
'night
 
Idea request: what shuold reddit bot do
 
10:40 PM
black magic
'night
 
@TuxCopter -1 red magic is better
idea: use CNNs to determine what image is of
i read article on this the other day
 
CNN?
 
conveluted neural networks
 
Complex natural nachos?
 
they combine convelution op w/ ANNs which allow for cool & simple machine learning on images
but pls halp idk how to code properly
 
10:43 PM
 
i mean you need some neuron to go of at certain time, like do you use timer or what
 
Do you mean like a neuron should activate for example n iterations after an other neuron?
If this, n++ is the solution lol
 
Anyone know how to get code like
# coding=zlib_codec
xœ+(ÊÌ+QòHÍÉÉWÏ/ÊIQT G„¯
to work?
(python)
 
shit shit shit shit shit
i lost chatgoats code
crap
 
10:45 PM
idk why that challenge got so few upvote :(
upgoat downgoat did very well
 
@TuxCopter Yeah, that's not happening...
 
;_;
 
Crap, wrong app.
 
I only understood pizza
lol
 
@Dennis Yo preferiría latas de lata sobre la pizza :P
 
11:06 PM
Latas de lata? :P
 
@PhiNotPi I'm not sure how MAM is supposed to sort out the top 3 rankings here:
ARogueSquad > Spiky  			10>0
Spiky > BearCavalry  			10>0
BearCavalry > ARogueSquad 		10>0

ARogueSquad > CowardlySniperMk2  8>2
ARogueSquad > LongSword			10>0

BearCavalry > CowardlySniperMk2	10>0
BearCavalry < LongSword			 0<10

Spiky		> CowardlySniperMk2	 8>2
Spiky		> LongSword			 9>1

LongSword   > CowardlySniperMk2  6>4
 
@Dennis That right there is about the extent of the Spanish I understand
 
My algorithm produced:
1.	BearCavalry
2.	ARogueSquad
3.	Spiky
4.	LongSword
5.	CowardlySniperMk2
6.	TemplatePlayer
but its the ordering of the top 3 that I'm suspicious of
in head to head, we have a RPS cycle of ARogueSquad>Spiky>BearCalvary. However, Bear Calvary is the only one that loses to LongSword of the 3, and Spiky is slightly worse than ARogueSquad against LongSword.
to me, it seems like the ordering should be ARogueSquad > Spiky > BearCalvary ...rest of them
 
11:27 PM
mam.hostei.com an online implementation
You might have to fiddle around with the inputs though.
 
@Zalgo You mean SockExchange.
