The Nineteenth Byte

9:00 PM

A length-filter is not a valid protection against SQL injection, and prepared statements really are the only proper defense.

This is the only valid answer. SQL without Prepared Statements remind me of "Strategies how to ride a dead horse" — Alexander 2 days ago

Riker

@Mego it appears to be an explanation of why riding a dead horse is dumb

This site looks like one of these not-quite-right clones of existing sites used for movie productions to fill computer screens.

@Pavel What kind of example do you have in mind where it would be impossible to find a an integer such taht x!=n?

(assuming you meant factorial)

@DJMcMayhem In fact, it can be made done with 6 bytes: t:Yp=f

Check Out Tomato

Hi, I'm building a 3D printer, can you please check over my list of parts (other than printed parts)?

9:17 PM

@CheckOutTomato I think you're in the wrong room.

Check Out Tomato

@flawr This is TNB, correct?

What is the 3D printing room?

@CheckOutTomato go to 3dprinting.SE

Oddly enough, I still prefer 2d printing

Thomas Ward

have you considered asking on their site, or is that offtopic?

because i don't think this is the right room for your question

Just ordered a mozzarella and tomato salad. Apparently they ran out of mozzarella. How can I tell? Well last I checked, mozzarella wasn't actually just 2cm thick blocks of cheese analogue.

hahaha

lol, disgusting

@TuxCopter neither of you used the 3D Printing abbreviation? lol

Crayon is now officially a working language! \o/

Ductr Tape

is there a ><> interpreter with debugging except from fishlanguage.com?

flawr

@ETHproductions what is it about?

Riker

@DuctrTape don't think so, sp3000 might have one though

ETHproductions

Installation instructions can be found in the repo, if anyone's interested (I haven't tried them myself though)

@flawr It's a stack-based golfing lang designed for producing ASCII-art

Right now it pretty much only has input and output

Downgoat

9:28 PM

@ETHproductions why not publish to npm?

as simple as $ npm publish

ETHproductions

There's already a package called crayon I believe

Downgoat

You can do crayon-lang

ETHproductions

yeah, I'm considering that

It'd be cumbersome to type that in every time you want to run it though

flawr

how about craycray?

4

ETHproductions

or I could golf the name and do cryn

CalculatorFeline

9:31 PM

Crying?

ETHproductions

exactly :P

Downgoat

@ETHproductions binary name and npm name dont need to be the same

ETHproductions

But if you install with npm install -g they will be, right?

(excuse me if this is a dumb question, this is my first experience with creating non-browser software/publishing something on npm)

TuxCopter

@ETHproductions In the package.json you can set the name of the executable

Riker

@Downgoat hey, how goes goathub/gitgoat?

I have some time, I can try to install it on an ipad now

also, can I have a github invite link?

Thomas Ward

9:36 PM

@Riker lol, they have invite links? xD

Riker

idk

but it's a priv repo so

Thomas Ward

ah

@Riker that's a permission, not an invite link

Riker

never used them before so idk

Thomas Ward

they need to add your account to the access list

Riker

@Downgoat can you do ^^ pls thankee

ETHproductions

9:39 PM

@TuxCopter If I understand correctly, doing "bin": {"crayon": "./index.js"} will create a command crayon that calls ./index.js?

Downgoat

@Riker ok I can give permission but I haven't committed in long time

will commit when I get cone

Riker

kk

TuxCopter

@ETHproductions I think

ETHproductions

Oh wait... that's already set up

I'm so dumb :P

So I can change the name of the package with no effects on the command

Pavel

I was gone for an hour and have 5 items in my inbox now.

9:41 PM

brb publishing crayon-lang on npm

Pavel

What could it be?

Oh right I made a CMC before I left.

@Riker Try it! Enter a number, ESC to normal mode and press ctrl-a

crayon-lang should be uploaded to npm now.

#windowspythondeveloperproblems I have 5 different versions/locations of Python installed

Pavel

9:51 PM

I only have 2 and 3

I could also see having PyPy.

Downgoat

@Riker invite link? Btw app is not optimized for iPad so might look weird

Pavel

How do you have 5?

Thomas Ward

@Downgoat he wants access to the private git

he doesn't understand githubness

CalculatorFeline

Probably 0.9, 1.6, 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6.

DJMcMayhem

@Pavel 2.7, 3.6, 3.5, and accidentally two locations for 3.5 (x86)

Pavel

9:53 PM

@ETHproductions how to get?

@DJMcMayhem You should delete three of those

ETHproductions

I think you can just do npm install crayon-lang -g

If that doesn't work I've no idea what I did wrong

Pavel

What's the -g for?

Downgoat

@ETHproductions golfed npm i -g crayon-Lang

ETHproductions

It installs it globally. idk if you actually need it

DJMcMayhem

@Pavel I do actually need all of them (except for the dup)

Downgoat

9:54 PM

@Pavel installs globally instead of as a dependency to current folder

Pavel

Ok

CalculatorFeline

What's wrong with 3.6 over 3.5?

Pavel

@DJMcMayhem Why do you need 3.5 AND 3.6?

DJMcMayhem

3.5 for (and 3.5 x86) for development, 2.7 and 3.6 for golfing :P

ckjbgames

Greetings!

Pavel

9:55 PM

@DJMcMayhem Why can't you develop with 3.6?

ckjbgames

So, I don't want to start a war or anything, but what is your favorite text editor?

I like Vim btw

Anonymous

@DJMcMayhem I feel your pain. 2.7 32-bit, 2.7 64-bit, 3.5 32-bit, 3.5 64-bit, 3.6 64-bit, pypy2 64-bit, and pypy3 64-bit

DJMcMayhem

@ckjbgames I'm pretty sure everybody in here knows my favorite. ;)

Textedit. It's better than anything else because it's on my computer.

ckjbgames

@DJMcMayhem Same :)

9:57 PM

@Downgoat already got it it's cool

I am still fine with Emacs, and I am surprised no one has made a golfing language based on it

DJMcMayhem

@Pavel idk, cause customer is using 3.5? (I think, not entirely sure tbh)

CalculatorFeline

So?

Anonymous

I originally had 2.7 and 3.5 32-bit versions installed for personal/dev use (32-bit because that was the default). I installed 64-bit versions for PPCG purposes. I've had the cygwin versions for ages because cygwin is essential. Then came pypy2 and pypy3 for Seriously stuff and more PPCG stuff. Then I installed 3.6 to test it out.

DJMcMayhem

I'm not actually writing (much) Python. I'm writing C/C++ interfaced to Python. Each version has it's own DLL's

@Mego Hah. I missed that earlier. +1

ckjbgames

@DJMcMayhem Do you know Emacs Lisp?

Anonymous

10:02 PM

@DJMcMayhem I also write some C/C++ with Python, so juggling all the libraries for those 9 different versions is quite the challenge

DJMcMayhem

@ckjbgames not at all

ckjbgames

@DJMcMayhem This must be the ultimate challenge, to write an Emacs golfing language in Emacs Lisp.

DJMcMayhem

I've thought about learning/golfing in it just to screw with people who know I'm a vim fanatic, and for the challenge, but never gotten around to it

@Mego Oh really? That's good to know. Do you use boost Python?

ckjbgames

@DJMcMayhem I have learned a little bit of Emacs Lisp

@DJMcMayhem Nope. I mostly just do simple C/C++ extensions

DJMcMayhem

That's too bad. I wish I had someone to cry to in here when I get confused by boost.

Which is pretty much all the time

I've used other parts of Boost before

So I can kinda sympathize

@mbomb007 To prevent close-reopen wars where a question is repeatedly closed and reopened.

I suppose, but it really is still unclear, as I commented about.

Another topic, it turns out that this exists: "Now in beta: query the Stack Exchange API real-time using SQL. See online-sql-editor.com and select Stack Exchange." - meta.stackexchange.com/users/245360/patrick-hofman

But no one likes SQL, so is it really that significant?

If SE uses SQL, then someone there must like it.

Like the user whose profile I took that from.
