12:56 AM

checking in on my hiatus, wow, 123 answers on that polyglot challenge, huh?

1:12 AM

Umm, what?

1:22 AM

Oh yea, that

I read that page

sounds like a nightmare

in multiple ways

1:36 AM

@ASCII-only I kind of made 2048 in it!

If someone can give me some pseudocode on how to generate a000081, I'd appreciate it

Anyone know bash?

1:54 AM

@HusnainRaza does the OEIS page have a program on it?

@ATaco is that processing.js??

I think that if you hav a 2 next to a 2 next to a 4 and you swipe the 2s together it shouldn't combine the new 4 with the pre-existing one

@2EZ4RTZ gosh no

Just a bit of simple js and a table

@ATaco It is so pretty tho

10/10 would add sour cream again

@Downgoat heyy! The gaot i was looking for!

You know that bash script? I can't get it workin

@muddyfish image plz?

Q: Cooking with Code

You're a chef and you love cooking with your spices, but recently you've taken a liking to organizing your spices based on how often you use them. But you have no time to be writing down when you used your spice last. Simply, you swap and move spices around, and this seems to do the trick. But o...

code-golf

2:04 AM

The text editor is Ace, btw

Cool

@ATaco khanacademy.org/computer-programming/melang/5474968288952320

check out the editor

@Downgoat you there?

@2EZ4RTZ That's also Ace! :D

@ATaco The editor is what I learned on

My first real coding steps

2:23 AM

@2EZ4RTZ ?

also please don't intentionally misspell goat

@Downgoat I needed help with bash you ~~helped me with~~ gave me

#!/usr/bin/env bash
while read -r line; do
echo "$(echo "$(sed -i '1d' \$1)" | tee board_file.txt && ./run)" >> num.txt
done

what's wrong with gaot

@totallyhuman triggered

hmm?

@totallyhuman because ROs get mad at it and because I am only goat, when they get mad they assume I am behind every problem or irk they have about SE chat

2:25 AM

Wow. I want to know now how many problems you get blamed for vs how many you cause

Anyways the script you sent me still is causing problems.

./script.sh: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
./script.sh: line 4: `done'

Misspelling things is a problematic meme here.

I have been trying to figure it out but idk bash at all XD

There was time you could search for instances of "gaot" in this chatroom and not a single one of them on the first page would be me, yet even when I misspelt javascript as javsacript I was blamed for "goatspeak"

@2EZ4RTZ try moving do to its own line

while read -r line
do
    echo "$(echo "$(sed -i '1d' \$1)" | tee board_file.txt && ./run)" >> num.txt
done

owait

./script.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
./script.sh: line 5: `done'

Bash has the most useless error messages.

while read -r line
do
    echo "$(echo "$line" | tee board_file.txt && ./run)" >> num.txt
done

2:29 AM

The world needs more Tacos.

@ATaco You have a 10 hour song about tacos and that is not enough?!!?!

More tacos are required.

@2EZ4RTZ I dunno, it works for me

try doing bash script.sh < p.txt

We must construct additional tacos.

@Downgoat Perhaps since I have windows linux subsystem?

not real linux?

I thought they were same thing tho

2:31 AM

yea they should be

Are you running my code?

does even basic while loop work?: while true; do; echo "hi"; done?

@2EZ4RTZ exact copy+paste of it

wait what distro does WSL use?

@Downgoat script.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
script.sh: line 2: `while true; do; echo "hi"; done?'

ok, yeah your bash is not bash

D:

2:32 AM

@Downgoat I think i may not have installed bash

what is echo \$SHELL

Since it appears to not be installed by default

@ATaco can you make \$ become normal dollar sign so I can actually type it :P

@Downgoat $SHELL

@Downgoat Type a character before it! :D

2:33 AM

@2EZ4RTZ don't include the bashslash

@ATaco :| doesn't work in like above echo example

wait what

@cairdcoinheringaahing yes but cannot understand

O wait rip

@Downgoat For what?

1 min ago, by Downgoat

what is echo \$SHELL

@Downgoat ohh kk

2:34 AM

Like that my guy

@2EZ4RTZ golfed: ohk :P

ok Golfed further.

k Golfed the most

I get /bin/bash

@ATaco doesn't have the same "ahah" connotation

Pls I need help

2:36 AM

Need more specifics

@2EZ4RTZ O_o what happens when you do which while

Pls I need help with coding *

@Downgoat nothing

@HusnainRaza what do you need help with

guessing more detail is needed

@2EZ4RTZ like no output?

2:36 AM

@Downgoat none

yea

imagine hitting enter

screenshot?

done

so I'm trying to recreate the code for a81 on the OEIS question in Python: for some reason it keeps outputting 2?

@HusnainRaza share tio link

@HusnainRaza tio.run/#python3

Put code there and hit the little url thingy up top and give us the saved url (has much more stuff in url)

@Downgoat see how it does nothing?

2:38 AM

ok your bash is confirmed broken. What about type while and which do and type do

tio.run/##Tc/NEoIgEAfwMz7FHjF1UquLEw/jCBhjLs5Kh57eFk3rxPBjP/5M7/…

Python 2 sorry

while goes into that think where it is just a > at the far left of the prompt. which do does nothing and do gives an syntax error

@HusnainRaza all good i will oook

@2EZ4RTZ no run the type command itself :P

not like tap with keys. like type 'type'

Based on codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/139176/45407

while is a shell keyword

2:40 AM

I'm also trying to implement into tinspire basic

it's a nightmare

Hey

Am spook

Oh hey it's Ascii-only.

Hey

@2EZ4RTZ I tried to copy the nim code exactly, variable names and everything

@ASCII-only 7/10 for not change name to quantum fish :P

2:42 AM

@Downgoat do you now know basic bash D:

@HusnainRaza So it appears to be going into the loop like it should

while true; do echo "hi"; done

@ASCII-only ???

0/10 you had extra semicolon

Cristopher's bash is totally fine

Hello utf-8 exclusive

2:43 AM

TIO is your fiend.

@ASCII-only it works

@ASCII-only it doesn't have /bin/while....

Hey the code works without the semicolon

doesn't bash have those funky if and fi, case and esac?

@Downgoat >_> only eivl shark thing like mac have while as a program

@totallyhuman yep

2:44 AM

D: mac is not shark

@ASCII-only So why does this not work?

while read -r line
do
    echo "$(echo "$line" | tee board_file.txt && ./run)" >> num.txt
done

mac is like whale

Is there a syntax error?

...but it doesn't have while and elihw?

idk works on Mac and Ubuntu box

@totallyhuman no because elihw is weird

2:45 AM

so are fi and esac :P

It appears that downgoat is just a goat that can't bash. So sad :_(

*but can totally bash better then me and can actually bash but that would ruin the point of my joke

Wait

Did I just bash you about bash??

@2EZ4RTZ 0/10 does not rhyme

What's a bash

@2EZ4RTZ because no input...

bash.org

2:46 AM

@2EZ4RTZ after done you need < input.txt

;)

He can bash if he wants to.

He can leave his cans behind.

Cuz his cans don't bash and if they don't bash

then they're no cans of mine.

@HusnainRaza bfy.tw/Bq1q

@ATaco opls like your tin cans are better

@ATaco s/their/they're/

@ASCII-only input is being piped into script

Thanks <3

./script.sh: line 5: `done < p.txt'

2:48 AM

try running as bash script.sh and remove shebang

shebang?

windows might not have /usr/bin/env

@2EZ4RTZ #! thing that is first line

@Downgoat ಠ_ಠ do you have LMGTFY open at all times

Use mingw :P

Wait

I think it is working

2:49 AM

@totallyhuman ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

pls post script.sh

#!/usr/bin/env
while read -r line
do
    echo "$(echo "$line" | tee board_file.txt && ./run)" >> num.txt
done < p.txt

@Downgoat it does have it

It is actually legit ubuntu on windows

Why is Python not working :(

@Downgoat ಠ___ಠ

@2EZ4RTZ what does /usr/bin/env bash output when run at an ordinary sh prompt

2:50 AM

@Downgoat without the bash keyword it outputs a bunch of stuff that is there

When would that script output?

or save to the num file

@2EZ4RTZ every line

@ASCII-only So if it just showed the blank screen that is bad

Wait where is it running my command?

To run the C program

metagoogle

Wheat Wizard

@Pavel I have found the crappiest image in existence.

@WheatWizard Oh dear god. What have you done

2:58 AM

what

what is that

@2EZ4RTZ yes :/

@2EZ4RTZ huhwat

@ASCII-only The whole point was to have in run my c program

with the command ./fc-solve

@2EZ4RTZ yeah? but what do you mean where

@ASCII-only How does the bash script run my command

I saw no reference to it in the code

@2EZ4RTZ it runs it as bash

@2EZ4RTZ also yeah it's ./fc-solve not ./run

did you seriously copy the code char by char >_>

3:00 AM

Possibly

<_< >_> <_< >_>

lolwat

<_>

^_v

Halp mi pls

ive been trying to code this for 3 hours and nothing works

@ASCII-only so if normally I run the C program like so: ./fc-solve board_file.txt | tail -n 1 | grep "[[:digit:]][[:digit:]]*" | num.txt and want to run that will the test cases what do I do?

@2EZ4RTZ >_> why

3:03 AM

*i also need to add a newline to the saved file to get a giant list not just one answer

@ASCII-only to get the value of the output

@2EZ4RTZ just replace the line after do with echo ./fc-solve $line | tail -n 1 | grep "[[:digit:]]+" >> num.txt

#!/usr/bin/env
while read -r line
do
    echo "$(echo "$line" | tee board_file.txt && ./fc-solve board_file.txt)" >> num.txt
done <  echo ./fc-solve | tail -n 1 | grep"[[:digit:]]+" >> num.txt

Wohh

opps

@2EZ4RTZ what.

after do

#!/usr/bin/env
while read -r line
do
    echo ./fc-solve $line | tail -n 1 | grep "[[:digit:]]+" >> num.txt
done < p.txt

Fixed it

that should work

@2EZ4RTZ also you forgot the bash after env

3:07 AM

./script.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
./script.sh: line 5: `done < p.txt'

dang

@ASCII-only codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/43150/…

There is my answer with a download link for the code

It has how to run in the readme

Can you try?

@2EZ4RTZ 0/10 :P not gonna run it unless it's one file

I gtg to bed

@ASCII-only after you run make it is one file

@ASCII-only gist.github.com/Cis112233/104390b79656e8df0aaf137dd4ca1d54

One file!

@ASCII-only it is one file!!

@2EZ4RTZ -1 not xxd

@2EZ4RTZ pls give xxd hexdump ty

3:25 AM

please give xkcd hexdump ty.

no

Q: Count the Palindromes

Given a number n, calculate the amount of bases in the range of [2, n) in which b(n) is a Palindrome. Example n = 8 has the base conversions: 2 = 1000 3 = 22 4 = 20 5 = 13 6 = 12 7 = 11 Of which 2 of them, 3 = 22 and 7 = 11 are palindromes. So return 2. Clarifications For the sake of con...

@Downgoat Quadrinomial?

@Downgoat ... that is cubic

also can't do it for like a long time, too many assessments

6:53 AM

for the next person who sees this, can you check this code tio.run/##Tc/NEoIgEAfwMz7FHjF1UquLEw/jCBhjLs5Kh57eFk3rxPBjP/5M7/…

which is to calculate a000081 in the oeis

thabks

@HusnainRaza if you really want to carry on the chain, you can use this code from the OEIS page. You'll have to test it first, but it should work. Its in Maple.

Gooooood morning folks

8:44 AM

@Mayube good evening

@Pavel you what

Pavel

Wasn't me, found it on Reddit

I need a new job >.>

Pavel

What's wrong with the current one?

... or maybe there's no current one?

there is

8:47 AM

oh ok

since I got this job though, my life and relationship situations have changed, So really I'd prefer a job that'll let me work more flexible hours now

The challenge was closed 47 minutes ago and someone answered 39 mins ago... How?

Erik the Outgolfer

client-side checks

9:52 AM

@Mayube freelancing :P

@ASCII-only nah, I'd prefer job security

done freelancing before, not a fan of spending so much of my time looking for new work and wondering if I'll find work in time to pay rent

Ideally I'd like to find a job in Canada, but it's not easy to find work in a country you don't live in, and Canada are very anal about hiring from outside the country

@Mayube hence the :P :P

Mozilla have a bunch of jobs going both remote and in Toronto

but they're all senior positions, and even if I have the knowledge and experience, I don't have the professional experience/background to back it up

Then Google maybe?

as in.. look on google for a job? Or work for google?

9:59 AM

Work for Google

But... a lot of people here have tried and got the job

And then they declined it for some reason

eh, they have their own fancy unique way of hiring, plus google developer jobs are primarily python and go, I don't mind python, but I'm not a fan of go

also yeah lotta horror stories about google. Although to be fair that's true of most big companies

@Mayube What about Dart

Don't they use Dart a lot as well

Probably, they made it, after all

they use a lot of Angular, Go and Dart, cos they like using their own technologies

which makes sense

Haven't tried Dart, but looking at the syntax it seems alright actually

It has quite a few syntax similarities to C#, I might have to try it out

I like the {named} and [optional] args syntax too

oh also @Mayube have you tried looking on SO careers

I have

not recently mind, but I have

back in Feb/March

I do like that SO Careers lets you specify tech you dislike

10:10 AM

thinks

That must be jQuery :P

:P

:/ PHP should be grey

hey I like PHP thank you very much

Well I guess the newer PHP versions aren't that bad

I'm more listing technology I'm happy to work in, rather than ones I "like"

10:15 AM

oh yeah mobile stuff

Yes, my list of "things I dislike working with" is quite extensive... It's longer than "tech I like to work with".

so is mine now

BTW The things I like are Swift, IOS, Python and Xcode

Hmm

the Roles section has Frontend developer, but not Backend developer

10:18 AM

@Mayube If you dislike Mobile stuff (iOS in general), you should also dislike Objective-C

Not to mention C and C++

at that point I'm just listing things I have no experience in though

Yep, right

How does the interpreter look now? (TODO: fix fonts and change font colors)

s/change font color/change all colors/

Of course, it doesn't work yet, that's just the front-end

uuh.. why is there a Junior dev-ops position offering $80-$110k, that seems outlandishly high for a junior position

What company?

"Top Hat"

offers relocation and visa sponsorship too

10:56 AM

@Mr.Xcoder why not just use TIO?

@cairdcoinheringaahing because I don't want to annoy Dennis

@Mr.Xcoder with what? Pulls?

I will get it on TIO when I'm done with it (mostly)

@cairdcoinheringaahing Yes

Once the development slows down, I'll try to get it on TiO

@Mr. They really don't annoy him, all he does is execute a bash script.

Yes, but it's repetitive

10:58 AM

@Mr.Xcoder +1 it looks like it was written in 1993

@caird Does Deorst have base conversion built-ins?

@Mr. Actually, I don't know why I'm arguing with you :P I'm doing the same thing

@Mr.Xcoder gimme a second, checking
