(Anyone know if I can make a userscript auto-update from a gist..?)

Jan Dvorak

Just add a new revision, increase the version number and wait.

ATaco

Well, they've both had Stackoverflow added to them.

Jan Dvorak

12:12 AM

Thanks

A better question would be - how do you install a userscript from a gist?

ATaco

How do I, or how should one?

Jan Dvorak

How should I

though the former is relevant for the latter

ATaco

Well I literally just copy and paste the raw into a new userscript.

I'm not sure if there's a better way.

Jan Dvorak

Then it won't auto-update.

You could share it as a regular git file, then the raw link lets one install it in a way that links the script to its origin for updates.

I was trying to write a Right Hand Brace converter in RProgN.

                            public class Permuter{
     private static void permute(int n, char[] a){
                                      if (n == 0){
            System.out.println(String.valueOf(a));}
                                             else{
                        for (int i=0; i<= n; i++){
                                  permute(n-1, a);
                   swap(a, n % 2 == 0 ? i : 0, n);}}}



 private static void swap(char[] a, int i, int j){
                                char saved = a[i];

I'm not sure where, but I made a mistake somewhere.

What level did you fall from?

Destructible Watermelon

I was xp level 3, btw

Jan Dvorak

1:06 AM

oy

Lv3 on dlvl3 ? I'm always underleveled for the floor I am at.

Destructible Watermelon

thats because you don't spend enough time at each floor then

I might have been on dlvl 4

Jan Dvorak

I visit every room, then move on

I still keep running out of nutrition as a vampire

Destructible Watermelon

by the end of the floor, you would be at the same level as the floor, right?

Doorknob

Generally, staying at as low of a level as possible in the early game is a good idea.

Destructible Watermelon

except when you die

Doorknob

1:10 AM

Generally, not dying is a good idea.

Jan Dvorak

I've tried the "not dying" thing once. The guys around me kept me stuck to one place anyways. Wizard mode isn't good enough. Where is god mode?

Christopher Peart

@Dennis quick question. When i write my language how will it revive input from TIO when it gets to that point? (Don't want to have to re-write a bunch of code)

ATaco

Command line or STDIN

Jan Dvorak

Wait, your third most successful run ended on dlvl7, because of a trapdoor on dlvl4?

ATaco

TIO supports both

Christopher Peart

1:19 AM

I will use command line for the arguments and STDIN for the program

Dennis

The program should preferably be read from a file.

Destructible Watermelon

@JanDvorak no

ATaco

Oh, you mean like that

Destructible Watermelon

ended on level 5

killer bee swarms

and forgetting my armour

Christopher Peart

@Dennis so sys.stdin?

ATaco

1:23 AM

The program itself should probably be received by a filestream, with the command line passing a reference to a filename.

ooh, I love bees

Jan Dvorak

Christopher Peart

inputs = sys.argv
code = open(inputs[0])
@ATaco like that?

Not very good at file IO

ATaco

1:29 AM

Basically, yeah.

Then you may want to pass your code inputs[1,n]

Christopher Peart

Jan Dvorak

"Can't find dungeon feature ">".". I love that message.

Who-ever started using windows and PC interchangeably is a fool.

For example, a laptop running windows is, in fact, not a PC.

@ATaco PC now is used as an independent noun rather than an abbreviation

sure whoever came up with it is idiot but point still stands

Wheat Wizard

How does one raise a mod flag?

it's like saying "I like iPhone over Android" sentence makes no semantic sense because iPhone is not OS

"I prefer iOS over Android" might be more fitting.

Downgoat

@ATaco yeah but we have brains not computer in our heads meaning we don't segfault when someone says "windows or mac"

Actually I have Taco Mince.

Please send help.

Downgoat

</rant>

Jan Dvorak

3:08 AM

Brains are a type of computers...

ATaco

Yes, but we're a lot more adaptive.

The idea of a computer is that it's fed a set of instructions, and it performs those instructions. The brain's instructions however, are sort of, "Take input as to whether or not what you are doing is good or bad and adjust accordingly"

Which is an incredibly golfed method of saying "Do everything", although a bit slow.

Downgoat

@JanDvorak eeeh

depends on how pedantic you want to be

I mean if you literally mean "something that computes", that statement is false because goat brains are a thing

ATaco

Goats brains compute.

Wheat Wizard

@Mego Sorry to bother. But a little while ago you said that if I suspect serial voting and it has not been reversed in a day or two I should raise a custom mod flag. What exactly is this and how does one do that?

DJMcMayhem

@WheatWizard Just flag any post (probably one you think was seriously voted) select "flag for moderator attention" and write out what happened

Wheat Wizard

3:20 AM

@DJMcMayhem Ok thanks

Doorknob

@WheatWizard I'm not sure what you're referring to. I see one run of 3 downvotes followed by a reversal the next day, but nothing else.

Wheat Wizard

The thing was there were 4 downvotes. One was a while later than the other three and was not reversed. I thought it was pretty suspicious but it might have been a coincidence. Sorry if this is wasting your time.

Doorknob

There's not much I can do about a single vote.

@WheatWizard That last downvote may have been a legitimate one. If the system caught and reversed three, then you have nothing to worry about.
