@flawr x≡0 mod n is way better than x≡n mod n

caird coinheringaahing

@ngn You do know I'm joking right? As I said earlier, I genuinely don't care either way, but it's fun to joke about

And go away Lyxal, I know I'm caird :P

rak1507

@cairdcoinheringaahing you're not joking, you're caird!

@cairdcoinheringaahing beat me to it :(

flawr

@rak1507 they are equially valid!

rak1507

yeah but the first one is much nicer

flawr

@ngn peano actually formualted it with starting at 1, and I guess he was bribed to later change it to 0

@rak1507 just a matter of taste:)

rak1507

15:02

@flawr if you're multiplying two things mod n and one has ns in it it'll be a pain

ngn

@flawr sure, but it would be bad notation to have different symbols for the additive identities of different rings

rak1507

what's easier, 1×3 or (n+1)×(n+3)

flawr

@rak1507 bot are equally easy in mod n :)

ngn

@ngn .. while the multiplicative identities are all "1"

rak1507

but on paper, the first one is easier, unless you think that the second one should be simplified before expanding, in which case you're advocating for keeping things between 0 and n

flawr

15:06

I'm advocating for always keeping in mind the whole set it represents, as any other notion will lead to confusion at some point.

I'd love to see a separate types in langages for doing modular arithmetic

rak1507

@flawr sagemath has separate types

pxeger

All arithmetic is mod 2**64 already

flawr

@pxeger cough python cough haskell cough...

@rak1507 oh I didn't know! Do you use sagemath a lot?

rak1507

@flawr sagecell.sagemath.org/…

ngn

@flawr what should happen when you add two numbers with different moduli?

rak1507

15:11

@flawr yes, very frequently for cryptography stuff

flawr

@ngn the fabric of space and time should rip open and devour our whole universe

rak1507

@ngn it should error (like sage)

ngn

@rak1507 if one modulus is a multiple of the other, there could be a meaningful answer

rak1507

yeah, that works in sage

flawr

could a result make sense modulo the lcm of the two summands?

caird coinheringaahing

15:15

@ngn Add the moduli, see what happens :P

ngn

@flawr yes! that would make sense

flawr

@cairdcoinheringaahing that's not how it works, that's not how any of it works! get out!

user

@flawr Now that's a kind of error I haven't seen in a while :P

caird coinheringaahing

@flawr But it could work like that :P Math is just choosing the most convenient interpretation for symbols :P a + b could mean that we double a b times, then subtract 7, but that's not as useful as defining it to be addition :P

CMC: Given integers a and b, double a b times, then subtract 7

Redwolf Programs

a=>b=>a*2**b-7

ngn

15:19

@cairdcoinheringaahing caird's language, 1 byte: +

user

\a b->(iterate(2*)a!!b)-7

@RedwolfPrograms lol imagine using math

rak1507

7-⍨⊣×2*⊢

ngn

@cairdcoinheringaahing elliptic curve arithmetic does something as (seemingly) ridiculous as that

user

_*Math.pow(2,_)-7

caird coinheringaahing

@ngn Damn, that's even shorter than Jelly :P

4 bytes in Jelly

rak1507

15:20

@ngn good old point addition

hyper-neutrino

got a 4-byter in jelly too

0fd77b9ec1327eebf9a17dacefb7d46e

rak1507

bruteforceable

ngn

@cairdcoinheringaahing with 1indexing, shouldn't booleans be 1=true and 2=false? they are just the field Z/Z2

hyper-neutrino

ok if i really cared i'd use something more secure the point is to not spoil :p

rak1507

lol

caird coinheringaahing

15:22

@hyper-neutrino I got 4d113310e7ce0e18df8f8a033e300f54

(assuming we're using md5 hashes)

flawr

For anyone intersted in the elliptic curve addition, allow me to promote my challenge from a while ago codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/75786/24877

I'd love to see some more answers:)

caird coinheringaahing

@ngn I'm not using 1 indexing for boolean arithmetic :P

hyper-neutrino

oh, there's another solution? will try to find this lol

rak1507

@flawr trivial in sage

caird coinheringaahing

@flawr I remember porting that to Mathjax, took a couple of hours :P

flawr

15:23

@rak1507 feel free to add it:)

rak1507

nah, builtins are boring :P

caird coinheringaahing

@flawr I tried to give it a go in Jelly, but it involved a lot of variable handling, which Jelly really isn't good at

flawr

absolutely not!

if you can solve it using built ins this just means you got the right tool for the job!

I learned about less common features of many languages that way

caird coinheringaahing

The two different attitudes to builtins, demonstrated so succinctly :P

hyper-neutrino

i find built-in only solutions boring and i usually will not upvote them and will just ignore them, but i don't hate on people who post them either, i just don't really care :P

i can't think of another way to solve this, lol (within 4 bytes i mean)

caird coinheringaahing

15:27

@hyper-neutrino Spoiler

hyper-neutrino

Oh, I see. Right, I just looked at how last_input worked the other day ಠ_ಠ

spoiler

caird coinheringaahing

Jelly's implicit inputs with ¡ and # are super useful :P

@hyper-neutrino Ah, right, bitshifting

hyper-neutrino

i saw redwolf's a*2**b and was like "wait there's a built-in for this"

took me a bit (heh) of time to find it and then realized wait this is just bitshift by definition

rak1507

add=lambda p,c,P,Q:(E:=EllipticCurve(GF(p),c))(P)+E(Q)

hyper-neutrino

due to precedence, a=>b=>(a<<b)-7 in JS is no shorter than a=>b=>a*2**b-7

caird coinheringaahing

15:30

Wait, why does - have a higher precedence than <<?

Redwolf Programs

<< has a super low precedence for some reason

user

That's true in other (C-lke) languages too, maybe it's because < also has low precedence?

Redwolf Programs

At least it's not as bad as | and &

user

Oh yeah, | is higher than &, isn't it? That always trips me up

Redwolf Programs

0x40 & 0x44 == 0x40 is 0

It's awful for almost everything

hyper-neutrino

15:33

lol that's silly

i can understand boolean logic operators being lower than equality

but equality should be lower than any operations that apply to the items being compared lol

caird coinheringaahing

= should have pretty much the lowest precedence

user

@user nvm I was wrong

@cairdcoinheringaahing It does

pxeger

who invented the terms "high precedence" and "low precedence"? "tightly binding" and "loosely binding" are so much clearer

Redwolf Programs

Citation needed

hyper-neutrino

i find this clear too

high precedence has higher precedence than low precedence which means higher precedence precedes lower precedence and therefore happens first

caird coinheringaahing

15:35

Just always eval LTR

rak1507

RTL

hyper-neutrino

always eval from the center outwards

2

Redwolf Programs

4 - 2 - 1 should be 1, not 3. LTR FTW.

flawr

@rak1507 is this sagemath?

rak1507

@flawr yep

user

15:36

The easiest solution here is to just avoid computations imo

flawr

that looks very nice, I should really look into it a little bit more

@rak1507 can you recommend a tutorial?

user

No need to worry about precedence or which -fix you're using or whatever if you're not doing math

rak1507

it's basically python with a billion mathsy builtins, you could have a look at this I guess doc.sagemath.org/html/en/tutorial

user

It also does some preprocessing iirc

flawr

@user cough haskell cough :P

user

15:38

God, those precedence rules are crazy

flawr

but useful!

ngn

@user yes, human, they are

hyper-neutrino

the operator with the largest right argument gets evaluated first

user

TIL ngn is the one true God

Redwolf Programs

Randomized precendence

user

15:39

@flawr They're great for DSLs, but I really prefer uniformity for normal stuff

flawr

imagine a 2d language where you could define associativity and precedence in multiple directions

user

Or a multidimensional language

Using polar coordinates or whatever the analogue is for more than 2 dimensions

Redwolf Programs

Average the results of every possible interpretation. 4 + 1 ** 2 is 15.

caird coinheringaahing

@flawr Pretty sure Jellyfish works on a similar system to that

user

Btw here's a great question that has to do with operator precedence, and I'm ~~not~~ just saying that because I made it

@RedwolfPrograms Why use a simple mean when you can do it the xkcd way?

Redwolf Programs

15:42

That's not even close to practical, though. Imagine if one of the possiblities is negative!

user

43 mins ago, by caird coinheringaahing

Numbers were never meant to go below 1. "Nothing" as a number? "Negative" values? Complex?? Bah, return to normalcy :P

@rak1507 The Turing Test, of course

@pxeger it's only a matter of time :)

Any reasonable human would have clicked the link

Wezl

16:00

reasonable ∩ in the TNB = {}

programmer365

hi everyone

hyper-neutrino

i think it would be reasonable to hover the link first, given the nature of this room :P

programmer365

coincidence: as soon as i came, two users flied out of the room :P

Wezl

so my calculations say that no reasonable humans would click the link

rak1507

@Wezl lol

caird coinheringaahing

16:01

Clearly the best Turing test is to show the test taker a rickroll link. Humans won't click on it, bots will

programmer365

@cairdcoinheringaahing how we would understand that link is a "rickroll"?

Imma drop Latin II in a heartbeat if that's still an option

caird coinheringaahing

That;s it, but with brackets around the links

rak1507

how does that make any sense

Redwolf Programs

I speak fluent JavaScript.

(I think it's to encourage people to take computer related classes)

Razetime

@ngn brilliant

caird coinheringaahing

16:11

The Ʋ can be swapped out for µ which (IMO) makes it slightly easier to read

hyper-neutrino

oh wait, is 2ịŻ‘ɼ»2$‘¤ one nilad?

rak1507

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah, way easier :P

now you say that, it's obvious!

user

@RedwolfPrograms ?

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino No, ‘ɼ»2$‘ is one nilad

caird coinheringaahing

@Razetime The question has nothing to do with prime factors, so I'm not sure how it's correct

Wasif

how does that k rickroll work?

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino ‘ɼ is a nilad, then followed by 2 monads »2$ and ‘, so it's an LCC

that's truly brilliant

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino ɼ always forms a niladic chain

@pxeger Thank hyper :P

pxeger

I think anyone who designs a system that can't handle all characters perfectly fine is an idiot

It's the URL specification's fault that it can't handle + and /

Redwolf Programs

It can, they just mean other things

I think URIs could be much better, but I think allowing arbitrary strings of bytes is a bad idea

IMO: http:com.redwolfprograms.blog:2020-01-10 would be the best format. A proto: (http, ws, data, ...), a domain with the TLD first, then additional information (basically everything after the ? in URIs)

I think having subdomains and paths as separate things are sort of redundant

That means anything other than : is fine in the data part, and the format would be up to the site owner

. and : are also blue, which is a nice color for punctuation marks

hyper-neutrino

what's /

Wezl

@RedwolfPrograms colon is the best punctuation mark by far

Redwolf Programs

Paths and subdomains would be merged. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/240 is pointless; com.stackexchange.chat.rooms.240 is better

URIs can't seem to decide if more important information should go first or last

This format is easier to parse (both by a computer and a human), making it harder to do something like http://bank.evil.com/login

hyper-neutrino

16:53

subpaths are hidden if your traffic is monitored

someone can see chat.stackexchange.com but not /rooms/240

Redwolf Programs

I'd just put the room number in the data part. http:com.stackexchange.chat:240

(with whatever format needed for other stuff)

Paths and subdomains have a few differences sure, but I don't think it's a necessary differentiation.

I like Roboto, but it's not really very SE

ngn

@RedwolfPrograms noscript (a firefox extension) can block any custom fonts

Redwolf Programs

No, I want it to be the current ones. Removing custom fonts is what they're doing.

ngn

@RedwolfPrograms then why don't you make "roboto" your default font?

Redwolf Programs

> I like Roboto, but it's not really very SE

Roboto is my default

hyper-neutrino

@RedwolfPrograms just curious if you don't mind me asking, does font affect the color in which you see words/symbols at all, and also do you see symbols such as (for example) カタカナ in a particular color?

Redwolf Programs

I think the font doesn't really affect it, because it's more about associating the character itself with something (typically color) rather than its appearance.

It's more like the idea of e is yellow, rather than e itself (not sure if that makes sense :p)

hyper-neutrino

17:13

i think i can sort of get the idea behind that :P

do symbols/characters that don't have any meaning to you also have a color then?

Redwolf Programs

Not really, I think I sort of have to be familiar with it first. If I were to read them a bunch of times I might start to associate them with a color.

hyper-neutrino

ah. that's very interesting. well thanks for satisfying my curiosity lol :P

ngn

@RedwolfPrograms "We’re leaving serif fonts alone so those will stay as Georgia, Cambria, Times New Roman, Times, and then serif as a fallback." - i don't understand what they are doing. wouldn't "leaving them alone" mean just use "serif"?

Redwolf Programs

No, they mean leaving them how they currently are I think

hyper-neutrino

the current --ff-serif on math.SE is Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif

Redwolf Programs

17:17

Math.SE has a custom font stack

They're leaving those alone

Redwolf Programs

Wrap them in []

hyper-neutrino

actually that's probably the base on all sites and then some sites manually override it

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms That breaks the links unfortunately

@cairdcoinheringaahing How about: Solve the halting problem for \c^/[^/\\]*/[^/\\]*/[^/\\]*$c code-golf halting-problem

So extract the tags and write them separately?

but if i add \ to fix the starboard it will probably break the message itself ಠ_ಠ

Redwolf Programs

That's not Pythonic! It's too sensible!

pxeger

@hyper-neutrino yeah, because structured programming is so 90s /s

Redwolf Programs

Any language that supports functions not being TCO'd is a crime. JS and Python are both guilty, but at least there was an attempt for JS.

using walrus operator you can set x=0 and then do while (x := x + 1) == 1 or ___

Redwolf Programs

I don't see why it's called the walrus operator when we could follow this precedent

Wezl

Redwolf Programs

No thanks, I don't think I will...

hyper-neutrino

yeah i hate python having no tco

that and its lambda syntax are probably two the things i hate most about python

caird coinheringaahing

17:35

Arrow operators are both nicer and less readable, so I get why they went with lambda instead

Redwolf Programs

"Oh no, we need lambdas but the due date is tomorrow!"
"No worries, I got it."

caird coinheringaahing

Python does (kinda) try for readable code

Redwolf Programs

=> or -> are both more readable IMO

pxeger

Yeah, lambda is so readable to absolutely anyone, there's no need for any experience with formal functional programming

Redwolf Programs

Which is better, Hi FULL STOP I am a programmer FULL STOP I use JS STOP or Hi. I'm a programmer. I use JS.

is it the one that guesses what you want?

Redwolf Programs

No, it's an old idea of mine

I've spent probably two hours today designing the color scheme for my KotH's controller lol

hyper-neutrino

bruh :P

Redwolf Programs

Here's what I've got so far

hyper-neutrino

Redwolf Programs

Top: Grass, water, dirt

@hyper-neutrino IIRC it's mini-Minecraft :P

Redwolf Programs

Final: Berry bush / copper ore / iron ore

hyper-neutrino

this sounds like it's gonna get complicated pretty fast xd

Redwolf Programs

It is complicated, the goal is for it to almost require specialization within tribes

I'm kinda worried that you're going to put all this effort in, and it's going to sort of "collapse". Like, you'll get a few bots, and some interest, but nowhere near enough that it deserves :/

Fingers crossed it won't, but I've seen that happen to a large number of challenges

Same. I'm putting in a lot of work to make it look uncomplicated (visually), and I'm going to put a ton of work into the controller to make it ridiculously simple to use

It'll have auto-updating with the API, and you shouldn't even have to touch any code in order to run it.

I might also put a little note at the top saying it's intentionally a bit more complicated than most KotHs, and that bot makers aren't intended to read through all twenty pages of specification :p

CMQ: Has anyone ever found a broken link on any of Google's official pages? I feel like they're very prudent with setting up redirects, but I wonder if this is really true?

Redwolf Programs

Yes

Don't remember to what though

Might've been google groups related

rak1507

loads, especially when looking for obscure old stuff

Adám

@pxeger Yes, I have.
