How do I make it so that julia will wait on a process before continuing execution?

wait()

don't do wait() plain tho

that's a bad idea, it's hard to unpause

i was right?

7:06 PM
yeah but you need an argument

wow
i am good

I push all input, close stdin, then wait for the process before reading stdout

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ that's almost as easy as guessing mathematica function names

@Riker :P

@eaglgenes101 then pass a process as arg, it will continue once the process has completed

7:07 PM
xz isn't crash-prone, so this should work and eventually go on

@Mego i give up. IMO it cannot be done

Here's what I have so far

@Mego I think the issue is specific to . This meta post of mine is very closely related to yours

@eaglgenes101 actually, your best idea: use 'remotecall'

It spawns xz, pushes input, closes input, then waits for xz to return
At least that's theory
In practice, juliabox hasn't returned after several minutes

7:10 PM
juliabox?

ah
I use a terminal version :p
this is a nice site

Anonymous
@DJMcMayhem Yep

@eaglgenes101 probably your best option is to break the function into 2 parts: input and then output. use the wait call with a remotecall()
1 sec, making example
wait, what exactly are you waiting for?
the writing?

I want to get how big the output of xz is when fed a given diff'd version of moby dick

7:14 PM
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ That's why there's a bounty :P If it were easy, it wouldn't be worth 200 rep :P

There's probably an easier way to reach the goal than spawning, feeding, and waiting

@cairdcoinheringaahing but impossible it may be

>_>
@eaglgenes101 why do you need to wait at all?

To make sure that xz finishes outputting whatever it comes up with to stdout before I start reading

actually, why are you doing this in julia? >_>
oh, the mutation

7:16 PM
Or is that unneccesary?

probably could do that in bash tho

is there a easy way to computer the square root of (2^x)-1?

@eaglgenes101 I think so
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ yes, sqrt(2^x-1)
that's the same as 2^(x/2) - 1 fwiw, 38616458.5

ok cuz i have 2^77,232,917-1
and need the square root

what lang are you doing this in?

7:19 PM
uhh tbh i cannot find one to do it for me
because away from home

one what?

a language
i have to have online interpreter

use C

I think I came up with an easier way
Well time to see if this leads me to another Y

good luck

7:20 PM
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ do you have any idea how large that number is

@LeakyNun I don't think so

your computer literally cannot handle the result

shoot

sqrt(2^x-1) ≈ 2^(x/2)

i know how big it is

7:20 PM
that's assuming you want to store every digit

@LeakyNun what, it's not like it's more digits than space in the observable universe or anything

@LeakyNun yeah

>_>
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ ...

@Riker that's approx 33MB

@LeakyNun I was being sarcastic ;p
(I mean techinically what I said was true but whatever)

7:22 PM
@LeakyNun see i can handle that

in which language

idk
again, i am looking
repl.it is being slow for some reason :P

@LeakyNun he doesn't know yet but he really should use C

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ it always is

7:23 PM
@Riker i am using c

lol that segfaults
rikermacbookpro:~ rikerw$./a.out Segmentation fault: 11 halp it is dumb smh graph of y=exp(x) in Z_3 7:27 PM @Christopher2EZ4RTZ I highly doubt C is capable of doing that as simply as your code is @Riker :P hmm @LeakyNun um, the numbers are kinda out of order @EriktheOutgolfer :P think base 3 Trying to see is a language is non TC hence i need my sqrt @LeakyNun My laptop was fine calculating the integer square root (in Haskell) 7:29 PM @H.PWiz I see It is 11624713 digits long @LeakyNun oh so it's kinda like each triplet of trits (from the end) is reversed @EriktheOutgolfer right im trying to find sqrt(2^77232917-1) in bc but my processor isnt very fast :/ @H.PWiz in base 10 or base 10? @betseg What? 7:31 PM every base is base 10 in their own base :P @EriktheOutgolfer you know p-adic integers? @H.PWiz um, did you calculate it? Haskell is kinda lazy, try doing print 2**77,232,917-1 in Python and you'll see how much it actually is (hint: don't) @H.PWiz right there Christopher was simply doing pow(2,38616458) and expecting it to work :p @LeakyNun looks like you are really fascinated :D hmm 7:33 PM tfw you add additional logging to debug a character encoding issue only to find that your logfile was ascii question marks galore $ time bc -l <<< sqrt(2^77232-1)
37...
...35.9...
bc -l <<< sqrt(2^77232-1)  16.54s user 0.00s system 99% cpu 16.548 total
should i try the 77232917

go for it

@EriktheOutgolfer isn't the graph beautiful

@EriktheOutgolfer It's not unreasonable in Haskell TIO

@Riker at least 5 hours, and i'll be sleeping by then :/

7:34 PM
lol
I might set it up with screen and see if I can leave it running like that

"but why?"

@betseg if you find it just message me with it :P

@H.PWiz well, imagine printing the number as-is, I guess it would take forever to print

@LeakyNun no, why not

@LeakyNun talking to me?

7:35 PM
talking to whomsoever is trying to calculate the isqrt of 2^whatever - 1

aw shite I forgot the -1
too lazy to fix that tho

lol

@EriktheOutgolfer Took me around 9 secs to pipe the output to a file
Vim doesn't like it very much though

@H.PWiz but what if you print directly to stdout

LibArchive seems like a reasonable alternative, but it expect to be handed files rather than strings or arrays

7:39 PM
to whomever knows ring theory: exp defines an isomorphism between pZ_p and 1+pZ_p

@LeakyNun I meant with p-adic numbers in general

@EriktheOutgolfer aren't they beautiful

@LeakyNun weird in a beautiful way

@EriktheOutgolfer Huh, turns out it took around 10 secs. My laptop is a lot faster than my old PC for IO

CMC: given an even number, output the first consecutive prime pair with that difference
e.g. 4 -> 7,11
(you may output the lower, or the higher, or both, but you must be consistent)

7:41 PM
wow
@H.PWiz can you upload the file and send it to me?

6 -> 23, 29

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ The number, or the integer square root? Also, only if my upload speed can cope

@H.PWiz square root

@LeakyNun what should the program output for 7?

I might. Waht do you need iyt for?
@betseg even

are you sure it doesn't give 5,11 for 6

what is that constant that you do like @^3^n where @ is the constant
and the result is prime

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ mill

@LeakyNun it gives 23

@Riker n o f u n a l l o w e d

screen -d gives you "You may wish for a screen" too

@LeakyNun ty

7:50 PM
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ np

@EriktheOutgolfer I wanna try now

@EriktheOutgolfer 23 or 23,29?

it gives the minimum
Jelly, 8 bytes: Try it online!

Looking forward to getting my free SE swag :D

In Husk I can do the minimum in 8 and the pair in 10

7:54 PM
@EriktheOutgolfer well done

@Mego they removed jester?
wait hold up
what

btw my p-adic program, if anyone is interested:
def reciprocal(base,precision,n):
if n==1: return 1
index = 1
while pow(base,index,n) != 1:
index += 1
index = (precision//index+2)*index
return base**precision-base**index//n%base**precision

def to_base(num,base,precision):
res = ""
for _ in range(precision):
res = str(num%base) + res
num //= base
return res

def gcd(a,b):
while b:
a,b = b,a%b
return a

def exp(p,n,precision):
precision += 10
old_res = 0
res = 1
i = 1
m = p**precision
while old_res != res:
g = gcd(m,i)

I got an offer for an internship (pays also!) for a fiber company and i will be working with them on the computer and tech stuff and will be stationed right under the prez of the company! :DDD

@quartata No, I was saying that Jester was a terrible Neutral role that unbalanced games

I would be quite happy if anyone can optimize any part of my program
e.g. I could use some totient in my reciprocal

@LeakyNun You could post it to Code Review prepares for backlash

How do I spawn a process in C without exec or fork? Like how a shell does it.

Anonymous
@LeakyNun Optimize it for what goal?

Anonymous
@Pavel Shells use fork+exec (often called spawn)

7:58 PM
well, there are two possible goals: speed and memory

Anonymous
@EriktheOutgolfer Could be bytes :P

@Mego good luck

@Mego Ah. So the main process just waits for the other to finish, it doesn't actually get suspended?

Aiming for a contradiction, let the cube root of $2$ be rational. So, we have $\sqrt[3]2 = \dfrac p q$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers. Cubing both sides, we obtain $2 = \dfrac{p^3}{q^3}$, which gives us $2q^3 = p^3$, i.e. $q^3 + q^3 = p^3$. However, by Fermat's last theorem, this has no solut...

@Pavel Yep

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Why?

Does there exist a pair of prime numbers with a difference of n for all even n?

@cairdcoinheringaahing i want to hit 10k rep
to hit 10k network i only need 5.7k

8:06 PM
@DJMcMayhem Sure. Proof is left as an exercise for the reader.

working on that

I have literally no clue how to prove that
Intuitively, I'd expect the answer to be yes, but it's beyond me to prove it

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Yay, I need 1004 :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing waanna sharreee?

I have a bounty going up when the OEIS challenge dies, but it'll be a lot of work to beat the current earner

8:09 PM
@DJMcMayhem I think you could stretch Bertrand's postulate to come up with a proof by contradiction.

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ I'm aiming for one of these as a (non-standard) way to get rep.

@cairdcoinheringaahing I have a chance

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Out of curiosity, what do you think you're most likely to win?

8:10 PM
Only SGITW, I technically can win both the rookie ones
other then that nothing
though if I win them all I will reach 10k
anyone want to rig the elections? joke

I'm lost as to why tio.run/##S85JTcz7/z83P6U0J1UhNzEzjyu4JLGoRMFWQT3G2Nxc/f9/AA (which prints a single, 1-byte character) gives a character that counts as two bytes when pasted back into the code box.

@Οurous That's not a 1-byte character (in UTF-8)

Okay, this is what I have now:

@DJMcMayhem The confusion initially stems from tio.run/##S85JTcz7/z83P6U0J1UhNzEzjysztyC/…

Then maybe clean uses a different encoding internally

8:19 PM
I copied the header initialization code verbatim from the unit tests, but it still expects me to write more headers, whatever that means

Oh I didn't think about that. I'll check the compiler source. Thanks.

Interesting.

It seems closely related to Goldbachs conjecture

@Dennis Can you change the name of a scheduled chat event? (If I reschedule it, it looses the people that have signed up.)

Does anyone mind helping me do something in the Sandbox?

Never mind, it's sorted

@MartinEnder context missing

oh, I misunderstood sorry

This just gets better and better. Copy the output of tio.run/##S85JTcz7/z83P6U0J1UhNzEzjysztyC/… into the codebox and try to run it. That's some strange encoding magic going on there.

I'm trying to figure out this library, and this is my latest frustration
UndefVarError: archive not defined

Stacktrace:

[3] fitness(::SparseVector{Float64,Int64}) at /mnt/juliabox/fuzzer.jl:25
It turns out that \$archive is supposed to be a macro binding to the archive parameter of the _la_call macro

@MartinEnder oh, sure enough, lol

@DJMcMayhem Personally, I don’t think that statement is true. I obviously cannot prove it, but I feel like it can be proven using Bertrand’s postulate or something

@DJMcMayhem did ya get that thing I sent ya? (meme)

9:23 PM
@MagicOctopusUrn Yes, I did. :)
I appreciate it a lot!

NP, sorry I missed the window of the sale. I just started a new "hard-mode" on kerbal myself... 2x the cost of stuff, 1/2 the earnings, no ability to save or load.

@Mr.Xcoder Really? Even with an infinite number of primes?

Yeah I really don’t think it is true

I could still use help figuring out the libarchive julia bindings

@eaglgenes101 what's the question exactly?
I might be able to help

9:30 PM
Im still trying to figure out how to get the julia libarchive bindings to hand me the compressed form of a byte array, as a byte array

@MagicOctopusUrn Dang
I'll let you know when I get it

It keeps throwing macro errors from within the library

I need to find another anime like Monster... I guess I'll try it lol. All of the "auto-anime-suggestion" sites are really bad at similarity.
Monster was singlehandedly the best series I've ever seen.

9:57 PM
All I can do is recommend my personal favourites

@ATaco I know right? That's all everyone ever does xD.
@ATaco I just loved the "Noire" style mystery-detective novella theme of it... Never seen that in an anime. And I feel I may never again.

I’m not a massive anime fan, so when I find something I like I stick to it like a fly to honey

@ATaco Example? (Not to get too off-topic)

My Hero Acadamia is awesome and the world needs it
And season 3 can’t come soon enough

Ahhh, so more of "fantasy violence" as opposed to "real world, omg that's someone's arm" violence?

10:01 PM
Yes, very much so

Shonen Jump + Viz = Holy Grail of Americana Anime.

I don't like Shounen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To each their own

@Pavel Same, I love the manga, but dislike the adaptations; I like the gritty stuff TBH... All my friends love the romance genre like 'Fruits Basket' and that makes me puke.

10:03 PM
@ATaco I didn't mind the manga ;P. Then again I was at barnes and nobles 2-3 hours after school cause of my dad's job as a kid, that's when I got into this stuff.

Mind, this is Australia, the only Anime you get on TV are things like fruits Basket
And things like Pokémon, of course

Manga/Anime talk is fine in moderation, but talking about illegal sites is a little more iffy
I actually just started watching SAO
(And by just I mean like a day ago)

Sword Art Online

Crunchyroll on the other hand is fully legal, and supports the creators!

@DJMcMayhem the anime that's a pretty bad anime but still a good tv show?

10:10 PM
@DJMcMayhem Start "Overlord", this is an AMAZING 12-episode manga; the creator died though :(... And development is permanently halted.

@ATaco Oh sorry, I assumed you saying "Not legal here either" was about Crunchyroll, not the other one

@MagicOctopusUrn season two started last week

@ATaco What, oh my goodness, the amount of excitement in my bones cannot be contained.

It started just after I binge watched the first season

@ATaco Any idea on how/why?

10:12 PM
Which is the second time that’s happened to me
And ‘why’ is probbly because it’s great

@ATaco I stopped watching ALL animes that have 1-12 episode where they say "season 2 unknown". After I knew overload died I was so sad. I loved how they went into ridiculous detail on the game rules.

@MagicOctopusUrn as good as "your lie in april"?
tha'ts got to be my favorite anime so far

@Riker confused

I was too lazy to put quotes

@Riker what "lie" in april? My memory fades at 26 apparently.

lol

@Riker Thats... that's an anime title isn't it...
@Riker I was like "bro, did we even talk in april?"

lol
@MagicOctopusUrn yes

@Riker It parallels "Log Horizon" with more focus on logistics which I assume people of our culture would love.
@Riker Just start the series, ignore how lame episodes 1-3 are and don't bother with the OVA because it's all "amg, girls".
