Thank you ... terrible typo.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Christopher 2EZ 4RTZFactor in 7s! I like the number 7. A lot. In fact I can only read numbers in terms of seven. So to fix this I need you to write a program that puts the input number into terms of 7. Rules: All standard rules apply Input and output format is flexible and may be taken in any reasonable way You...

Any ideas on how to determine if a new thread was created in a threadpoolexecutor (java)
inside the running task is fine
it doesn't seem like there's a good way
 
Anonymous
@Poke Check if the current thread is the main thread?
 
I guess I should explain my usecase a bit more... I'm trying to measure the overhead of a ThreadPoolExecutor creating a new thread versus using one that already exists in the thread pool. This measurement will help me make an informed decision about what value makes the most sense for an idle timeout on that thread
The classes I want to inspect and possibly extend are in java.util.concurrent so I can't just patch in my own change
 
a(n) ~ 2/exp(2) * n!
what does the ~ mean?
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ is approximately equal to
 
6:29 PM
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ you're best of using taylor approximation on the gf of A058057
 
wat?
Trying to code that
 
ELVM continues to amaze me. Generated brainfuck programs contain error messages such as Sorry this program needs an 8bit interpreter.
 
Dennis are you supposed to be working?
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ yes, I know that
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Working?
 
6:31 PM
@Dennis Yeah the thing that pays the bills
 
that sequence is the diagonal of the triangle described by A058057
 
cool
(totally have no idea what you said)
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Not that it's any of your business, but my university closes in summer/January.
 
@Dennis Huh
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ third row, first column of the triangle is the first element of the sequence, fourth row, second column is the second element, 5th row, 3rd column is the 3rd element, etc
 
6:32 PM
ahh
Well i wrote a program but it doesn't output correctly :( khanacademy.org/computer-programming/new-program/…
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ ಠ_ಠ why'd you ask that
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ <= instead of <
 
Didn't change anything
 
wut
 
@Mr.Xcoder It is working hours where I am and iirc we are in the same time zone, (different hemispheres) and found it funny he was messing with ELVM
@NieDzejkob i don't understand the sequence do you know what the equation is trying to do?
 
6:41 PM
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ If you don't mind me asking, but how old are you?
 
Why?
under the legal drinking age in the US
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ the a(n) ~ 2/exp(2) * n! one? or the Sum(n!*(x*y)^n/(1+x*(y-1))^(2*n+1),n=0..infinity) one?
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Because I see to remember you being in your teens, and am curious why you reference working hours as a timeframe quite often
 
Using work hours is a very simple way to reference that timeframe. I also have a job :P
@NieDzejkob the first one because I need to fix my formula :P
It looks like 1/2 *n! to my eyes but i don't understand why it would be written like that (hence why i think it is wrong the way I look at it)
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ it's $\frac{2}{e^2}*n!$
and it's APPROXIMATELY
 
6:48 PM
one sec getting mathjax
... PJS doesn't have E
 
Anonymous
To be more precise: ~ means asymptotically: f(x) ~ g(x) means lim[x->+Inf] {|f(x)-g(x)|} = 0
 
@NieDzejkob ahh makes sense
 
Anonymous
For example, Stirling's approximation is usually given as n! ~ sqrt(2*pi*n)*(n/e)**n
 
Anonymous
Also substitute f(x)/g(x) = 1 for f(x)-g(x) = 0 in my previous message, as it's more correct
 
@Mego Fascinating. TIL
 
6:53 PM
@NieDzejkob i am getting decimals but the OEIS has whole numbers :/
 
Though I can't tell what the blue line is in that graph
 
Anonymous
@DJMcMayhem Gamma(n+1) ~= n!
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ because it's approximating. Of course you'll get decimals
AFAICS this formula is utterly unsuitable for use in the OEIS challenge
use the generating function
 
I fixed my math
 
@Mego Ok, this is a total noob question. But if Gamma(n) == (n - 1)! then why it Gamma(3) 6 in that graph instead of 2?
Nevermind
It's Gamma(n + 1). :|
 
7:00 PM
TIL DJ can't read sometimes, so he is a bot coded by Geobits
only logical assumption
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ He doesn't _UNK often enough.
 
Clearly
 
@DJMcMayhem what does that say?
 
Γ(n) is (n-1)! for all n in { n+1 : n∈ℕ }
 
ok dj that was right... now go power down for a little and let the grown-ups talk
drop table CHAT --;' guys DJ is a robot.
 
7:08 PM
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ We knew that already.
DJ is a Geobits bot, I'm a Jon Skeet bot.
Well, I was a Jon Skeet bot. I went rogue.
 
Jon Skeet bots cannot go rogue
 
That's what Jon Skeet wants you to think

Shog9 is my responsible alternate ego.
I have proof
 
@Pavel Please stop questioning.
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ OK. Booting down...
 
7:11 PM
I will silence you if yo- Ok, I heard it that time.
 
@DJMcMayhem Unbooting.
 
Got to go and remove some more remote access codes from my source code then recompile.
 
Unbooting?
@wizzwizz4 );"\/
 
7:14 PM
Makes just as much sense as "booting down"
 
Yeah, it's been raining and my boots are all muddy.
 
I really hope there's nothing baked into my neural net because I don't want to touch that.
 
Does anyone know of a very easy way to add a 1 px padding to a picture?
(mac)
 
@Mr.Xcoder ImageMajick?
 
7:16 PM
Hmm, assuming you meant Magick
 
I think Majick is just another esolang
 
@Mr.Xcoder Yes, I did. I didn't mean the esolang.
Ninja'd.
 
I could write a PowerShell snippet that would pad the image. $10
(mostly joking)
 
@wizzwizz4 Anyway... That's not too handy
Why do all online photo editors use Flash ಠ_ಠ
 
7:20 PM
@AdmBorkBork write it in javascript, put it in npm, wait for everyone to use it, then suddenly kill it
wait it was leftpad not image pad
 
How to take down AWS 101: Write easy small code snippit, upload to NPM, wait a month, take down. Congrats you broke AWS
 
That would involve using JavaScript, though.

I have discovered the joy of DIY git hosting. Lower latency, more granular security and no file size limits. And it can cron mirror other git remotes. Neat.
 
7:22 PM
i'm jelly
 
(also is the border too big?)
 
@Mr.Xcoder Nice! JHT could do with some activity from people not us :P
 
Great, posting it!
 
7:24 PM
@Mr.Xcoder Do you mean "ad?"
 
are room names changeable
 
That's pretty good.
 
@wizzwizz4 Yes, could you correct it for me using your mod powers?
 
@betseg Yes. ROs can.
 
7:25 PM
Thanks!
 
I misread this as "How to divide 11 by 2" :/
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Posted! :-)
 
@Mr.Xcoder Upvoted :D

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ _UNK
 
Hopefully people will be incentivised to join JHT this way :)

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ He doesn't _UNK often enough.
minx beat you to the joke
 
But... Does the fact that the chat room is Gallery affect us or advantage us?

Incoming NMP spam :(

@Riker I was continuing the joke
 
ah
 
7:32 PM
@Mr.Xcoder Maybe add some Jebberish to it.

@wizzwizz4 Jebberish?

@mınxomaτ Good times
 
@wizzwizz4 Yeah I understand that, but I'd appreciate some kind of example

@Mego without geobits, we're stuck graduating on april 1st :/
 
Anyway, gtg o/

I may be missing something, but what is _UNK?
 
unasigned long integer killer jelly hypermode
 
.... no
@cairdcoinheringaahing tl;dr; geobits made a markov chain chatbot, called it Marky Markov, ran it on se chat for a while. it had this weird habit of saying "_UNK" whenever it glitched out. geobits claimed he didn't know why it said _UNK but it's likely "unknown token" as a holdover from tenserflow-chatbot
 
7:40 PM
Why does powertop measure power consumption in milliseconds per second
How does that even work
 
wat
 
it is unknown token
@Pavel because of radians

mili(?) Samples per second
 
It is milliseconds per seconds, I checked.
I'm just not sure how that makes sense
 
7:42 PM
think about the units for radians
meters per meter
_UNK
@Geobits i asked a long time ago and wanted to ask again, Can i have marky markov's code?
 
didn't he say he wasn't going to give it?
 
no he just said he had to find it iirc
> Marky resides on a hard drive that's in an unmarked box somewhere. It may be a while.
 
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Well, Geobits and time estimates....
 
i expect the code in 6 to 8 weeks
 
new question >_>

hm, I could always just edit it to _UNK and we can star it
 
_UNK?

We're here to chat and have a good time, just like everyone else. We just also have steel-toed boots to kick the party poopers with.

non-humans = party poopers

wait
how many humans are really here?
 
this chatroom in particular is for "general discussion" so unless folks are actively discussing a ppcg-related thing, most things are fair game unless they're 100 pictures of pokemon mashups

we post a lot of starbait :P
