The Nineteenth Byte

2:00 AM

@NathanMerrill OK thanks for the input, I fixed it

class CQError(Exception):
    pass

Nathan Merrill

@StepHen so, that seems like a good base exception for all of your exceptions. That said, its still a syntax error. I'd likely make a class CQSyntaxError(CQError)

that way you have both the descriptiveness of "Syntax error", and the power of custom exceptions

@StepHen in Java, at least, I try to avoid using them. The only case I'd raise an internal exception is for stuff like NullPointerException, when it would have been raised anyway (but perhaps wrapped in other exceptions)

Step Hen

@NathanMerrill okey dok, got CQSyntaxError, CQInputError, and CQInternalError, and it was way easier than I thought, so I should look these things off instead of sluffing them to the side :P

Phoenix

C# question: Is there a way to splat an array into the parameters of a function?

Step Hen

@Phoenix docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/… ? (nvm that's probably wrong)

Nathan Merrill

@Phoenix no. What happens if the array has more elements?

or, even worse, fewer elements?

unless the function is a varargs function

Phoenix

2:06 AM

@StepHen That's the exact opposite of what I want. I have a function that has a params parameter, and an array of params I want to pass to it.

@NathanMerrill Yeah, it is.

Nathan Merrill

then simply pass the array in

Step Hen

In what mind did I think this code was normal or usual or at all good

Phoenix

Oh, that works? Neat.

Step Hen

    self.operations_1 = (EXPONENT, E)
    self.operations_2 = (MUL, DIV, INT_DIV, MOD)
    self.operations_3 = (MINUS, PLUS)

Nathan Merrill

that should just work, right?

@NathanMerrill OK so RE fixing syntax: this is the thing: spec allows leaving off a leading : if it is unnecessary, but my interpreter see : as the transition between two types of parsing. For now, to match spec, I just catch errors and try again. Not perfect but it works atm.

@ConorO'Brien Can output be by index of the result?

Conor O'Brien

nope, output the number

Phoenix

fine

#[[Ordering[Abs[#-Mean@#],1]]]&

Mathematica

`#` is the input array.
`#-Mean@#`: get differences between input values and the average.
`Abs[...]`: get absolute value of these, the smallest one is closest to the average.
`Ordering[...,1]` get index of smallest value
`#[[...]]` get the element of the original array at that index

Conor O'Brien

surprisingly elegant

Downgoat

> Your app has not qualified for Rate Limiting

Phoenix

Except it doesn't work properly, so you have to pretend there's a [[1]] after the call to Ordering, since Ordering returns a list.

Downgoat

4:16 AM

they say that like it's a bad thing :P

Phoenix

On the other hand, you can also remove the second paramter of Ordering

Since that tells it how many values to yield

#[[Ordering[Abs[#-Mean@#]][[1]]]]&

Phoenix

@Downgoat You'd think ~ would be more common but it rarely actually works because operator precedence.

Foo[a,b] == a~Foo~b, which is one byte shorter, but it completly fails if a and b are complex expressions and not single values.

Conor O'Brien

@HyperNeutrino ⁾onU

Phoenix

Anyway, square brackets are reserved for function calling, so the way you get a certain element of an array is with array[[index]]

@DestructibleLemon You'd have to get the image dimensions right or it would be scrambled.

Destructible Lemon

hmmm yeah

wizzwizz4

@LeakyNun Currently I only have 0, list, int, True, False, "builtins", None and some dummy functions that do nothing but raise.

@DestructibleLemon Luckily humans are pretty good at picking the correct image dimensions out of the set of all images.

That is, assuming that they have adequate visual capabilities.

@wizzwizz4 then you can be assured that it is quite impossible

@feersum Thanks - that really helped! :-)

I've worked out something completely different but very much inspired by that.

Destructible Lemon

@Arjun Ok. Consider this an informal warning - you may get kicked without further warning for continuing to post spammy / noisy messages.

People have been banned from chat for a very long time for continued irritation of other chat users.

Good programmers too.

I most likely won't be the one to do it - I'm just warning you.

That is what has and will most likely continue to happen to users who make unwanted noise in chat continuously.

@Cowsquack Would you consider it an accurate assessment of your social state?

@Cowsquack I'm just asking.

I've heard that if you give enough information to Google, they give you the offer of unconditional assimilation.

It's not conditional on whether you accept.

Seriously though, Google devs make awesome stuff.

Especially Doodles.
