Fun fact: a'''_'_''''''_'____'_'_b is a valid Haskell variable name

Doorknob

Well, what passes for "variables" in Haskell, anyway.

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ At this point we should probably just post the challenge at the start of the new year, as per one of the original plans. (@HelkaHomba)

Qwerp-Derp

@KritixiLithos It still doesn't work

Kritixi Lithos

It works for me

Doorknob

I had forgotten about that, actually. @HelkaHomba Any way I could message you privately so I can send you the time capsule string? My email is in my profile description so you can send something to that and I'll reply.

quartata

Oh yeah the time capsule

Luis Mendo

14:06

@LegionMammal978 :-)

zyabin101

@Doorknob will the time capsule string be uncovered this year?

Qwerp-Derp

@KritixiLithos Is this all I have to do for the circle function?

function circle(radius1, num1, xPos, yPos) {
  translate(xPos, yPos);
  var x = 0,
      y = -radius1,
      m, n,
      angle1 = 2*PI/num1,
      points = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < num1; i++) {
    m=x;
    n=y;
    m=x*cos(angle1)-y*sin(angle1);
    n=x*sin(angle1)+y*cos(angle1);
    x=m;
    y=n;
    points.push([x, y]);
  }
  return points;
}

Keep in mind I changed this for p5.js

Doorknob

@zyabin101 It'll probably be revealed in the challenge, once it's posted.

zyabin101

What?

Which challenge?

Kritixi Lithos

What's the time capsule string?

zyabin101

14:11

@KritixiLithos Will be uncovered this year. I'm sure.

Doorknob

Dec 31 '15 at 23:20, by Calvin's Hobbies

We should make a time capsule string. Everybody gets to add one character and next new years we'll see who can make the best program out of all the characters with the esolangs that exist then.

Kritixi Lithos

@Qwerp-Derp Yup

zyabin101

Wat wat wat?!

Qwerp-Derp

I want to add a character

What's the current string?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@KritixiLithos hey I completly forgot about that

zyabin101

14:12

@Qwerp-Derp The time capsule string is covered.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Qwerp-Derp it's a sekrit

and I think it's too late to add one now

Qwerp-Derp

@zyabin101 @EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ :(

zyabin101

@Qwerp-Derp Will be uncovered this year. I'm sure.

Qwerp-Derp

It's never too late ")

Oh wait it was covered at the end of last year right?

Should we make another one for this year?

Doorknob

@zyabin101 Why are you so sure? It would make the most sense to post the challenge immediately at the start of the new year.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

14:13

@Qwerp-Derp ye

zyabin101

@Qwerp-Derp Of course.

Qwerp-Derp

When?

Doorknob

@Qwerp-Derp Well, that would end up being a duplicate of this one. We could think of another idea for next year, though.

Qwerp-Derp

Hmmm

What about a Unicode character per person, and have someone make a valid language out of it that should be good enough to code in?

We could have a pop-con in chat or something (not a real contest)

We probably need to block certain characters though

zyabin101

This time around, let's just uncover the string raw, without user information.

Doorknob

14:16

That was, I thought, the plan.

Qwerp-Derp

Ooh... or a function each, and we'll make a language out of that?

That could work well(!)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Doorknob iirc you're the one who actually implemented it, so your plan is probably the right one

Doorknob

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ It was Calvin/Helka's idea.

Qwerp-Derp

14:29

@KritixiLithos What it still doesn't work halp

Kritixi Lithos

What's not working?

Qwerp-Derp

@KritixiLithos I think it's a problem with the translate line

It doesn't work with the function, because it's meant to return a list of coordinates of where the new circles are going to be

Kritixi Lithos

Have you used translate anywhere before that?

Sherlock9

@redstarcoder Ah, fair enough, in that case

Qwerp-Derp

@KritixiLithos Because I call the function multiple times, yes

This is my code:

function isprime(n) {
  for (var a = 2; a < n; a++) {
    if (n % a === 0) return false;
  }
  return true;
}

function factors(n) {
  var factor = 2;
  var factor_list = [];
  while (factor < n) {
    if (n % factor === 0 && isprime(factor)) {
      factor_list.push(factor);
			n /= factor;
    } else {
      factor += 1;
    }
  }
  factor_list.push(n);
  var twos = factor_list.lastIndexOf(2);
  if (twos > 0) {
    for (var a = 0; a < twos; a += 2) {
      factor_list[a] = 4;
      factor_list.splice(a + 1, 1);

Only two points in the centre appear

FlipTack

14:35

dat prime check tho

Qwerp-Derp

@FlipTack Yup

FlipTack

tbh i did mostly the same thing in pushy github.com/FTcode/Pushy/blob/master/source/…

although there is a little TODO there, which I might one day fulfill...

Kritixi Lithos

try having a pushMatrix() before the translate and a popMatrix() at the end

Qwerp-Derp

Yeah, now there's just one dot in the corner

I have to go to sleep soon

zyabin101

I set up a hot corners app so that it's easier for me to switch to chat and back.

Now I need a "list of running apps" app.

mınxomaτ

14:39

Hot corners sounds like a euphemism.

zyabin101

Can anyone recommend one?

Sherlock9

@Qwerp-Derp Still having trouble with your answer?

Qwerp-Derp

Yeah

I'm still consulting Kritixi

Sherlock9

That looks very long when ungolfed

Qwerp-Derp

That is ungolfed

It's not golfed yet

Kritixi Lithos

14:42

What does final_points[a][0], final_points[a][1] give when you console.log it?

Qwerp-Derp

Where do I log it?

Kritixi Lithos

just print it

Qwerp-Derp

The first 5 are of the first iteration, the others are part of the next iteration

Notice how the points all converge to two places

Kritixi Lithos

Just to test it, try replacing final_points[a][0], final_points[a][1] with 400,400

zyabin101

I'm going to use an AutoHotkey script to call up the Windows menu.

Send {LWin} ; or {RWin}
Exit, 0

Next, I compile it to an executable (the kind that Hot Corners require)

and put it to the bottom left corner.

Kritixi Lithos

14:48

Or try placing points at final_points[a][0], final_points[a][1]

zyabin101

A half second later, the menu opens up with the taskbar. :D

Qwerp-Derp

I can't see the points

OK, the circle function works properly

It's the gen_points function that's borking up

@KritixiLithos?

Kritixi Lithos

Maybe

WHat is the function of gen_points?

Qwerp-Derp

push() and pop() screw up the translate function

Kritixi Lithos

Then remove them

But what do you mean by "screw up"?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Lynn

I found a CJam answer by @MartinEnder in the form of an anonymous function that only works if the stack contains exactly one element (the input list) when it’s called

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

iirc that's okay

Sp3000

Nah, ping is good.

Lynn

It’s straaange! Conceptually, such a function is… a little useless; it reminds me of this

Zachary T

15:45

Pinging is not good when you get pinged constantly by chatbots. ಠ_ಠ.

Lynn

Like, I’d expect a function to be callable everywhere. Stack-based languages are just kinda weird, and GolfScript/CJam’s ] is especially weird

Sp3000

Actually, the more relevant meta question is:

A: What exactly is "on the stack"

While I broadly agree with Mego's answer, I find that it leaves a few important cases as implications, and I think it would be clearer to spell them out explicitly. I admit that the answer you linked isn't very explicit about how stack-based I/O works for functions, but there is a sort of unwrit...

Which is why I said pinging is good :P

Ahh, thank you!

they are in different paragraphs

one above the other

"These tags can also contain attributes like foo="bar" (with required quotes, or else invalid and falsey), and the attribute name and value can contain any alphanumeric character except \, , or /."

that's the bad one

Andrew Li

One is about tag attributes and the other about the names

Nathan Merrill

then remove "name" out of that sentence?

Andrew Li

Attribute name and value refer to foo="bar"

The attribute name is foo, value is bar

Tag names != Attribute names

Nathan Merrill

noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

a branch is a version of your repo, their fork is another repo with it's own branches, but you can think of their fork as more branches

flawr

Is it correct that "fork" is also used to refer to other similar project that spawned from the original one, but now have their own development?

And a "pull request" is if someone wants to contribute his "branch" or "fork" to the original "master"?

@flawr a "fork" on github is different from a fork regularly - a fork on github is when somebody what's to change your code so he copies your repo adds, changes, and sends a "pull request"

Zachary T

"Some" is an understatement.

a "pull request" is when somebody wants to merge one branch into another.

What's happening here? Are we changing fonts?

Mobile won't let me select text, so I can't even explain which characters aren't appearing.

I write code for someone who doesn't know javascript. he gives me one project at a time and the code is now a complete mess.

My honest-to-god solution is to burn the whole thing and start over.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

well there's your problem

> javascript

TuxCopter

Yeah, you should use TypeScript

With Babel, CommonJS and Gulp

Gabriel Benamy

what?

TuxCopter

And Istanbul for testing

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

19:20

no

TuxCopter

Don't forget React too

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

just don't use js at all

PythonMaster

This is a joke I think

quartata

> Istanbul

triggered; istanbul is coverage not testing

Gabriel Benamy

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ >ajax with no js

PythonMaster

19:20

With emphasis on no JS

quartata

@PythonMaster No, these are all real.

Sadly.

PythonMaster

@quartata I know they're real but you really don't use 5 languages at the same time for the same project

TuxCopter

@PythonMaster Nope, they are all real and 'must-have' on JS projects :/

PythonMaster

Wow

quartata

@PythonMaster They aren't languages

TuxCopter

19:21

@PythonMaster They are libraries

PythonMaster

JS has some interesting libraries

quartata

You forgot Webpack by the way.

TuxCopter

Right

PythonMaster

and everything else here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JavaScript_libraries

quartata

That list is ancient

I don't even see Grunt or Gulp

Geobits

19:23

Then once it's done, shove it all into PhoneGap so it "works" on mobile.

PythonMaster

@Geobits Agreed

Gabriel Benamy

let's see, we use bootstrap, datatables, handsontable, moment, and a bunch of others I can't think of

quartata

ewww bootstrap

Gabriel Benamy

I didn't design the site, I just save my boss's ass

Geobits

Well said

PythonMaster

19:35

Well, Happy Bacon Day!

If you're vegetarian or vegan, you can still celebrate: google.com/…

quartata

@DJMcMayhem Happy Bacon Day is a sucker for Cinnamon Gum by the way. Do you want to do the answer or should I? :P

PythonMaster

@quartata Is Cinnamon Gum a language? What is it

quartata

It's a language yes

(I'm also currently chewing some)

PythonMaster

It would be hilarious if you solved an ASCII-art challenge that involves cinnamon with Cinnamon Gum

quartata

There haven't been any yet sadly

Geobits

19:39

Is it not a duplicate? It's hard for me to believe we haven't had "draw this pattern in an NxM shape" yet.

quartata

We have somethng similar yeah

Q: Print a Lego piece

This challenge is a simple ascii-art one. Given two inputs, describing the height and width of a Lego piece, you have print an ASCII art representation of it. Here is how the Lego pieces are supposed to look: (4, 2) ___________ | o o o o | | o o o o | ----------- (8, 2) ___________________ |...

code-golf ascii-art

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@quartata wtf people actually eat that shit?

PythonMaster

I'm tempted to do a New Year's Eve one...

Maltysen

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ._. I like cinnamon gum too

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

how/why/wtf

it tastes like fire

and not in a good way

PythonMaster

19:44

It depends what cinnamon gum

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

no, they all taste bad

DJMcMayhem

@quartata I don't know it at all, so you can go for it

(just don't you dare get under 28 bytes. :P)

PythonMaster

What about 27.49?

;0

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

this answer: wasn't golfed, somebody edited to golf it

it's invalid when not golfed

but you also shouldn't edit to golf answers

rollback and tell OP to golf or let it be?

PythonMaster

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I already told the OP to golf it
