@Riker why do you appear to have two separate stack exchange accounts
 
@Riker really the only person that can make it look fun is star and jerma
which says a lot since that's like having to use a nuclear weapon
 
12:24 AM
rounding errors...
not again
stop having gaps!!!
 
@DJMcMayhem I suggest adding "as the question is off-topic, I suggest deleting it". Or delete it immediately?
 
@DestructibleLemon What is this?
 
a 3d thing i'm making
also the bugs seem to have no causal relation to the updates i make and it makes me mad
 
...
 
@DestructibleLemon good job 10/1-
@DestructibleLemon 1. what's with the yellow rectangle 2. the bottom of the red cylinder is the wrong color 3. the rest of the cylinders have no bottom 4. how did you even mess this up >_> <_<
5. why don't you just draw the ellipse in one go
 
12:36 AM
@Mr.Xcoder C (gcc), 26 bytes: f(A,B){A=!(A&B)&!(!A&!B);}
 
@ASCII-only i have no idea why it's happening
I'm trying to optimise it and then bam everything stops working
 
@DestructibleLemon ...
 
I have no idea where the bottom ellipses went
 
no offense but you must have done something wrong if things break when you're trying to optimize
 
I removed the checking whether a bottom ellipse should be drawn and it hasn't come back
what the frick
 
12:39 AM
@DestructibleLemon do you draw the bottom ellipse at all
 
WHY ISN'T IT DRAWING THE FRICKING THING
@ASCII-only YES
 
pls gist
@DestructibleLemon in the right place?
 
wait i figured it out
this wouldn't have happened if i had version control or soemthing idk
 
@DestructibleLemon yes. >_> please use VCS like a normal person. ty very much.
 
version control❌ | cmd-z⭕️
 
12:42 AM
@DestructibleLemon ...
 
bah, I just golfed 3 bytes off codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/156714 but he's deleted it so I can't comment
 
I used the circle because a tick was not in the emoji button
@ASCII-only i do use version control when using github though
but when it's just on my computer i don't
that reminds me of the time i did rm -rf on my project
 
@DestructibleLemon Ctrl-Z just pushes nano in the background...
 
whoops wrong one
ugh more rounding errors
that should be one cylinder
no gaps
why do you do this to me rounding
 
@DestructibleLemon how do you manage to split that into two rectangles in the first place...
 
12:50 AM
@ASCII-only it's for the painting order
 
@DestructibleLemon but that doesn't matter unless you have cylinders going through each other?
 
they're drawn separately, but imo it shouldn't be unwarranted to be annoyed that their values do not match
@ASCII-only no, it definitely matters
 
@DestructibleLemon when would it
 
@ASCII-only i made an image of this once

@DestructibleLemon Eh, since there are more people involved in the cylinders convo, so I'll leave it here
 
stupid rounding errors
 
Interesting note: When I try to star Dennis's message saying "Star this", it says "It is too late to undo this operation" even though the star is black and not gold, meaning I don't have it starred. (For context, I starred it and then Dennis cleared the star as a test, and when I tried to re-star, it said "You've already voted but the vote was cleared by a moderator", and now it says I can't "undo the operation" :P)
 
Anonymous
@HyperNeutrino That means the stars on that message were cleared at some point while you had a star on it.
 
> For context, I starred it and then Dennis cleared the star as a test

@HyperNeutrino It's well-established that I am bad at reading
 
1:10 AM
I found it interesting that it starts as "you already starred this, can't star again" and then later it becomes "already starred, can't unstar"
@Mego Oh :P Did not know that was an established fact :P

1:47 AM
0/10 in Proton 1, return [0] attempts to get the 0th element of return ಠ_ಠ
 
@HyperNeutrino :/
 
@HyperNeutrino return [0,]?
 
Oh huh. It works if you remove the semicolon after it, which I didn't include in my previous message.
Semicolons were supposed to be optional in Proton but they seem to cause errors in certain cases when you include them, so........ semicolons are basically timebombs :P
......my code wasn't working earlier and removing all semicolons fixed the whole thing. i don't know how i possibly wrote such a horrible language lol
 
2:08 AM
@HyperNeutrino :|
 
I wonder when One OEIS After Another will actually die... it's come close a lot of times with close saves by me and user202729 and a few others, but it's never actually died yet :P
 
@HyperNeutrino Same with the polyglot
 
I hardly see the two around on the front page but that's because they only need to be active once a week at least.
@ASCII-only That one I'm more surprised about, because firstly it's older, and second, unlike with OEIS, it gets increasingly more difficult the more answers there are (theoretically)
 
I just spent the longest fucking time trying to get Q# to print Hello World
 
Also I think my bot account got autodownvoted because I edited it with my main ಠ_ಠ
 
2:13 AM
Q#?
WTH is that?
Esoteric?
Practical?
 
@Zacharý quantum .NET language
 
Well, I wouldn't call it practical
But yeah it's a language based off of F# for doing quantum computing.
 
DESIGNED to be practical (aka nonesoteric)?
 
@Zacharý yes
@Pavel well, not yet
 
2:14 AM
What is markdown
 
@Pavel >_>
@Pavel wrong way
 
At the very least, it's the only language I've ever encountered where understanding the docs require a physics degree, unless you count Mathematica.
 
Where are teh dox?
 
@Zacharý please look it up yourself >_>
@Pavel Well, it is quantum computing
 
2:18 AM
NOPE! Not doing that
Nope. Nope. Nope.
 
@ASCII-only To be fair, Just Q# doesn't cause anything useful to pop up on any search engine.
 
Ooh, this looks cool.
 
plus it's more like an assembly language than a high-level language
@Pavel which is why you search q sharp
 
@ASCII-only Eh, it's actually a Functional language like F#
 
time to figure out how to reverse enumerate subsets
rip
@Pavel well, the stdlib is basically low level functions though
 
2:19 AM
Quantifunctional, or dare I say it: Quasifunctional?
 
@Zacharý It's a superposition of functional and quantum
 
hi don't mean to unwarrantedly ask for rep but like can a singular person upvote my recent OEIS post? someone/something downvoted my chatbot and now it can't talk :/
 
LOL
 
I happen to know the guy who designed Q#, I remember him telling me one time that he tried F# and rather liked it. It would seem that this turned out to be a more serious thing than I expected.
 
(tfw when french)
 
2:20 AM
@HyperNeutrino link pls
@Pavel wait wat.
 
ty :D
 
@ASCII-only There's F#-isms everywhere in Q#
 
@HyperNeutrino Whoops :p, kinda grew on me somewhat
 
lol :P or should I say mdr :P
 
:p
 
2:22 AM
@Pavel no i meant you know the guy that made Q#?!
 
Oh. Yes I do.
 
how long do I need to wait before SE realizes my bot account already has 20 rep ಠ_ಠ (shouldiblamecaching.com)
 
@ASCII-only He has a part-time thing giving high-level math lectures, that I happen to attend.
 
Coincidences everywhere.
 
I've known him for what? 6 years?
I've been over at his house a couple times, he and my dad are friends.
 
2:25 AM
TFW Your friend's mom and his brother's godmother are your math and physics teacher next year
 
@Pavel O_o.
 
@Pavel ._. ._. ._.
 
I haven't asked him anything about Q# yet though
 
@quartata Computing and printing the integers with GMP is actually faster than printing bases and exponents with printf, so I'm doing this.
 
Maybe Q-you sh(arp)ould!
 
2:27 AM
Making GMP cooperate with Windows will be painful though.
 
What is GMP?
 
GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library
 
Ninja'd?
 
Or I could just switch everything to unsigned long.
 
Can someone come into this room and star the message by NeutrinoBot please tyvm
 
2:30 AM
@Dennis I'm surprised you're supporting windows in FFI in the first place. Building C from the command line on Windows is remarkably annoying.
 
GMP
 
Windows doesn't just have a /usr/bin/cc, it has the Visual C++ Compiler. The location of which changes depending on your VS version, and isn't preinstalled for most people.
 
@Pavel I don't actually know if it works on Windows; I haven't tried. gcc should work in more or less the same on Windows though, if present.
Oh! I'm supporting the Windows platform, not its C compiler. I have never used that one.
 
@Dennis Judging by call(['cc', '-ansi', '-pedantic', '-Wall', '-Wextra', '-Wno-unused-variable', '-Werror', '-O2', '-shared', '-fPIC', '-o', so_file.name, c_file.name]) it doesn't, since cc wouldn't be find.
 
It absolutely has to be run in MinGW or something.
 
2:34 AM
Ah, ok
 
MinGW is WinGW
(At least for the scrubs known as windows users, because they better scrub their windows clean)
 
I might be overestimating my script's portability. If you haven't used something (Windows) in 6 years, you start to forget about the differences.
 
I can totally test it under Mingw
 
Anyway, having only 32-bit exponents wouldn't make the interpreter unusable, and vastly simplify the generated C code.
 
I deserved that
 
2:36 AM
@Dennis Doesn't seem to:

anyway brb o/
 
OK, while I have compiled C on Windows a couple of times, I actually never used Python.
 
2:38 AM
@Dennis I have no idea why it doesn't work either
I'm using Python 3.6.2
 
TIO uses 3.6.4, my desktop 3.5.1.
 
It shoulds work.
 
I feel like it should.
unsigned long it is.
 
@Dennis I think I know why:

Never said kicked :p
 
@Pavel I've made a module called parser and run into this problem before. Twice. Rather annoying.
 
@NewMetaPosts The #1 reason my rep chart no longer looks exponential but more a sigmoid almost
 
2:56 AM
@Pavel I don't seem to have the package.
Could you try again?
 
@DestructibleLemon for ppcg and veg.se?
all my accounts are hidden for reasons unrelated to my specific actions on SE, it's an IRL thing
 
@Riker yeah
@Riker i don't understand
 
it's kinda personal but tl;dr; it's not anything I do/did, it's some other jerk being annoying across anything he can find me on
@quartata oh god I have completely forgotten about them
 
@Dennis Docs say it's a builtin. On that note:

didn't star or jerma or at least one of them give up on TF2
looks like jerma's semiactive at least?
 
2:59 AM
@Dennis MINGW doesn't come with GCC and I thought MINGW came with GCC. Oops.
Or at least, one of the versions I have
I can't go further than that since I'm not sure how to install GCC on MinGW.
 
Wouldn't it just be easier to install Windows Subsystem for Linux and your distro of choice?
 
@Οurous That's not the point. I have Linux, I'm expllicitely testing for Windows
Status update: The other version of MINGW I have installed has gcc as cc but not Python
 
@Pavel Ahh.
 
:/ I just realized my custom number types don't have comparison yet
after so many months
 
@Dennis Wherever you're outputing the generated C file, it's only readable by Admin in Windows
 
3:11 AM
Ugh, I used the tempfile module precisely to avoid these issues.
 
Actually, not even readable by admin. Permission Denied either way
 
> Whether the name can be used to open the file a second time, while the named temporary file is still open, varies across platforms (it can be so used on Unix; it cannot on Windows NT or later).
 
Which is a fairly stupid Windows "Feature", not letting certain files be readable by admin
Oh
I want to say that it was literally easier to install the Linux subsystem for Windows than to configure MinGW to be able to "see" Python and GCC at the same time, and that's with already having MinGW installed.
 
Could you switch to the windows branch and try again?
 
@Dennis Yes, and no:
cc1.exe: fatal error: C:\Users\Pavel\AppData\Local\Temp\tmped8bo9oy.c: Permission denied
compilation terminated.
 
3:25 AM
Right, I have to do the same for the other file.
 
(I can't get this mingw instance to see git, so I have two completely seperate mingw's running right now)
 
Again, please?
 
Getting closer!

Does MinGW have head?
 
Is it 42 because that's the meaning of life and Fractran can't output more than a single integer?
 
@Dennis Yes, all the coreutils
 
3:59 AM
FRACTRAN can output lots of integers, but FFI does't have a character option yet.
@Pavel Sweet. Does ./ffi -p10 -e10 examples/primes09.frac 100 | head work? The removed SIGPIPE was supposed to handle this.
 
@Dennis It prints 10 values then hangs
 
Right. :/
And if you remove head and press Ctrl-C?
 
Then it interrupts normally
 
Out of curiosity: does it still work?
I'll stop after this, I promise. :P
 
Yep, just like before
 
4:08 AM
OK, thanks.
No idea how to fix the pipe issue though, so Windows will remain a separate branch for now.

Seems like there should be a better way than using quadratic formula to further factor
 
5:08 AM
tan(2x) = 2tan(x) / (1-tan^2 x)
 
if you do that things get really ugly though
 
tan(x)/(1-(tan x)^2) = cos(x)
oh okay. :P first approach lol

7:37 AM
@betseg strlen should be fine, since &strlen and strlen have equivalent type
If we assume f is implicitly declared as size_t (*f)(const char*), then we can always do f=strlen without any warning (TIO), then it just looks like Python's case

@Mr.Xcoder So, can you explain to me what happened on Jan 12? You submitted my formula, and then Iain Fox noticed and submitted another formula and two "PROG" formulas, one for the cyclic selection, one for my formula and one for his?
 
10:43 AM
@Adám I just submitted your formula... I have no idea why its timeline is Jan 12, it should be Jan 9
 
@Mr.Xcoder I woke up this morning and couldn't go out, it was (and still is) like a river
 
Hold on, brb there’s a mini-tornado just in front of my window O_o
 
I've always wanted to live in Venice :p
You know, canals and stuff, now after the rain I don't need Venice :p
 
Oh lol you were talking about the river in front of your house :)
 
@Fatalize and regular users too IMO
@Mr.Xcoder That's... a very boring sequence
 
10:49 AM
@ASCII-only Adam came up with a formula and I submitted it to OEIS /shrug
 
 
1 hour later…

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

beirtipolFirst attempt at a code-golf question, appreciate some feedback before I chuck it up on the main page. ID generator with no matching contiguous pairs Given 2 inputs (l=length of digits in the id, n=number of ids), generate a list of ids made up of the digits 0-9 where no 2 contiguous numbers ar...

> Welcome to PPCG and thanks for using the sandbox!
I was just going to say that.
(side note) PPCG is obviously more friendly for new users than SO.
@zappy Why am I seems to only see people say "Welcome to Stack Overflow" followed by "Please see How to Ask and take the tour ..."? — user202729 yesterday
(Q: What's a "migration rejected"?)
(no problem just found a Meta Stack Exchange question)

Can someone try visiting 216.58.126.4:5000 to see if the site is dead or if it's just my school board wifi?
 
@HyperNeutrino Works for me.
 
ok so my school board is just EXTREMELY stupid
they blocked my IP (somehow?), I'm not even tunneling it through ngrok
 
@HyperNeutrino solution: route through .tk domain
Not sure if that will actually work though
 
hm could try that
but like
 
@HyperNeutrino 10/10 for internal server error
 
1:13 PM
why does my school board hate everything that requires a brain
2
@ASCII-only where
like last year I was able to run servers fine and this year they're like "NOPE NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT BECAUSE WE HATE YOU"
 
@HyperNeutrino /problem/*
 
oh hm? weird
 
@HyperNeutrino Maybe they just block anything that's a raw IP
 
that's a possibility ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Possibly partly to prevent you from accessing their modem
 
1:15 PM
there has to be a better way of doing that than blocking all raw IPs ಠ_ಠ
 
@Mego I was interacting with the run function in previous (unpublished) versions of the interpreter, which was a lot easier in the same thread. Aside from the Windows issues I didn't anticipate, is there a problem with this?
 
@HyperNeutrino did you try HTTPS?
if you encrypt, it's indistinguishable from accessing, say, google with a cached DNS
(apart from whitelisting IPs, which would be dumb^2)
 
tried, doesn't help
 
oh BTW, saying C++ 7.2.1 is extremely ambigous
 
oh ok
Try /problem/* again?
I switched the active contest
 
1:19 PM
@HyperNeutrino still broken
 
oh ;-;
it was working last night
or maybe not. oh well, I'll just keep delaying this until it's too late to use it ಠ_ಠ thanks, stupid board things
anyway gtg o/
 
@HyperNeutrino is it possible to explain the problems in 1 sentence

@Dennis Just mainly the Windows issues. By compiling the shared library, then linking it with a runner program, the Windows issues should disappear
 
1:34 PM
Good morning everyone o/
 
@Neil Just a note (warning?), the next version of Charcoal will add separators after every command, should I just improve the golfer?
wait >_> that's like the most rhetorical question to ask right
 
@ASCII-only Yes, and yes.

Best bad idea (doesn't work yet because missing package)
 
@Mego so... one character Actually programs?
