I'm waiting for NSP for my new challenge :P

totallyhuman

ok

HyperNeutrino

What should I do about the two answers being identical?

totallyhuman

what are you talking about?

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino he answered second, he should delete his

HyperNeutrino

Sure. I'll comment.

totallyhuman

9:03 PM

but you golfed it to the same state

it wasn't originally the same right?

HyperNeutrino

No. Originally mine used lambda*a which was longer, but with the same algorithm.

totallyhuman

ah ok

Poke

good meta discussion, i guess

but i gotta head out

ciao friends

caird coinheringaahing

@Poke o/

HyperNeutrino

I commented and invited the user to discuss it in chat with me if the user thinks I should delete my answer.

Q: Killing the popcon

To come back to it after over a year. Should we end the popcon? I personally think we should, just like with code-trolling and underhand there was too much bad for the good. We just keep closing them over and over. If there is so much bad for the good why should we keep it.

totallyhuman

well then

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Reverse Maths Cycles Inspired by this Given an array of integers, cycle through +, *, -, //, %, ^, where // is integer division and ^ is exponent, while applying it to the reverse of the array. This may be confusing, so lets work through an example. Input: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] Reverse...

Hm. Alright. Right, I should have remembered that; I've seen that meta post before. In that case, then we should keep both answers :)

totallyhuman

whoa

dennis out golfed in jelly by 9 bytes

HyperNeutrino

:o

well

gg I lost that one lol

Here goes: stackoverflow.com/q/45337572/4449486

caird coinheringaahing

@ETHproductions its already got more upvotes than I've ever got on SO >.<

HyperNeutrino

05AB1E is so confusing

caird coinheringaahing

9:25 PM

@HyperNeutrino so is Jelly :D

totallyhuman

because you don't do stack based languages? :P

Conor O'Brien

@WheatWizard if you have any more questions, I won't be able to answer them presently. I'm taking a break for myself

Wheat Wizard

I have to leave anyway so good timing :)

HyperNeutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing Jelly has clearer docs lol

caird coinheringaahing

I have a tab open with JHT in it, that I haven't clicked on in 2 days with about 2000 unread messages in, and I really want to click it :D

Step Hen

9:27 PM

Logic Check, please: what does "Infinite Scrolling" mean to you?

Conor O'Brien

@WheatWizard :D that's kinda neat

caird coinheringaahing

@StepHen a webpage with unlimited side edges :D

I really need to stop ending my messages with :D

Step Hen

OK, say you have a list on a website and it has a feature called "Infinite Scrolling". what now?

ETHproductions

@StepHen A webpage that has a top but no bottom

Step Hen

I've spent a day or two trying to find a feature in this darned framework

caird coinheringaahing

9:28 PM

@ETHproductions or that wraps around?

Step Hen

That would do pagination

ETHproductions

Or a left but no right, depending on the circumstance

Step Hen

And the pagination feature is freaking called Infinite Scrolling

ETHproductions

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hmm, I hadn't thought of that

Downgoat

@ETHproductions You want the ES6 sticky (y) flag if I'm understanding correctly

Step Hen

9:29 PM

When you scroll to the end of the list it has a callback function that triggers and lets you add more to the list

caird coinheringaahing

@StepHen yeah, I understand that

totallyhuman

Isn't 1e8 always 1 ? — sln 2 mins ago

lol

Step Hen

I think I need to just memorize this darned framework's docs, since the guy that made it is not a native English speaker and I keep finding new things I can use, with really weird names

@totallyhuman see that's why you have an e operator :P

totallyhuman

it's not gonna be an operator

it's gonna be another way to represent numbers

ETHproductions

@Downgoat then you're not understanding correctly :P

caird coinheringaahing

9:31 PM

@StepHen I have nothing against non-native english speakers, but I do have a rule that if they can't write comprehensible English, they should get someone who can to do it for them.

And here comes the backlash

Step Hen

@cairdcoinheringaahing Actually, this guy can write English fine, it's just that his vocab probably isn't as big as some peoples, and he's not the best at choosing section titles

His documentation is pretty thorough, once you find it

Downgoat

@ETHproductions can you explain why you need the g flag then?

caird coinheringaahing

@StepHen oh, ok, that's fine then

trichoplax

@cairdcoinheringaahing I guess that depends on whether they are aiming for an English speaking audience. There are plenty of people who aren't

Downgoat

(sorry if in question but I'm not understanding your question)

totallyhuman

9:33 PM

i keep typing onject instead of object >_<

Step Hen

@totallyhuman I always hit enter instead of '

caird coinheringaahing

@trichoplax well, that goes without saying. There'd be no point in writing perfect English for a group of Hindi speakers (unless they spoke English)

ETHproductions

@Downgoat I don't, I just can't control whether the regex has the g flag or not

trichoplax

@cairdcoinheringaahing In that case I don't see why you'd expect a backlash. Writing for any language requires someone who can write that language

Downgoat

@ETHproductions so can't you add a new RegExp(oldRegex.source, oldRegex.flags.replace(/g/g, ""))

totallyhuman

9:35 PM

caird's just adding the write that language well

caird coinheringaahing

@trichoplax I go to a very sensitive school, so anything that doesn't conform to the norm, usually receives backlash.

Downgoat

or you can use exec and extract the match length

totallyhuman

the well is pretty important

ETHproductions

@Downgoat Huh, that... actually works...

trichoplax

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hopefully we're more reasonable here... :)

caird coinheringaahing

9:36 PM

@trichoplax puls, IME, the internet will usually devour anyone who doesn't conform to their ideals :O

ETHproductions

var newregex = RegExp(oldregex, oldregex.flags.replace('g', ''));

caird coinheringaahing

brb, finding the appropriate Family Guy clip

Step Hen

@cairdcoinheringaahing Not really, the Internet is more anybody can talk about anything, but you should expect for it to be argued with

Not that you can't have opinions

totallyhuman

you can't :P

caird coinheringaahing

Found it! youtube.com/watch?v=rSr01ZP1-eY

Step Hen

9:37 PM

More like you're going to find every conceivable opinion

Downgoat

@ETHproductions in that case you'd probably also want to remove the y flag

trichoplax

@cairdcoinheringaahing Certainly people will misinterpret your words and argue with what you didn't actually say
