@Bubbler Which part is nontrivial? The compiling to wasm/js?

Bubbler

Compiling is one, rewriting interpreters as I said is another

Also, if your interpreter hangs, your entire page also hangs

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing Well when I was in charge, I made sure to target that demographic specifically.

user

That way, dumb people will gain access to the brains of smart people, so this is great news for people like you, caird :P

@RedwolfPrograms Target? More like exploit

Redwolf Programs

I had low cost plans for brain-sharing that could let you take a larger-than-100% share of brainpower when you needed it, and donate your own at night.

user'll just take it all for themself

user

@RedwolfPrograms Bah, brain-sharing will be free now!

caird coinheringaahing

Everyone says I'll be throwing away my vote, but I think those APLer's have a shot :P

user

What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine!

Redwolf Programs

@user But then, there'll be nothing stopping millions of mice being forcibly made to join the hivemind and steal our brainpower!

user

12:13 AM

No, brainpower usage will be regulated, and those with impure motives will not gain access to others' brainpower, but will rather be used for their brains

Essentially what we do to prisoners in America rn

Since their brainpower will be used for good things, they'll never have a chance to plot and commit crimes

Bubbler

@user What's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine

Redwolf Programs

I will have no part in this. Don't make me use my 51% share of the hivemind to destroy you all.

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms you don't have any leverage

Edit spams were Jun 9th, so that's just within 60 days

@hyper-neutrino Hover over the participation tab

hyper-neutrino

oh

Redwolf Programs

I propose that we give control of the hivemind to the people. We can charge a small membership fee, which is distributed equally among members. We can use a decentralized model to distribute brainpower to members, according to their membership tier (as higher ones would mean giving more money to the hivemind for purchasing insurance and cookies).

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms it's too late. We've already made the relevant team in the vyxal organisation

Redwolf Programs

Vyxal will never control the hivemind.

lyxal

yes it will

you can't stop us

Redwolf Programs

12:52 AM

The people will agree with me. They will use their collective share in the hivemind to approve my proposal.

lyxal

they just voted you out, idiot.

You're irrelevant now redwolf

the hivemind is no longer yours

Redwolf Programs

@user You can't, without control of the hivemind. If the thing that gave you control of the hivemind required you to previously have control of the hivemind, it won't work without time paradoxes (which are against the ToS)

lyxal

What you don't know is that I silently upped my share of the hivemind to 69% over the last few months

Little investments here and there under the guise of shell corperations

Redwolf Programs

I planned ahead. I knew some of my followers would be turned corrupt by the massive power they've been given, their mortal forms blinded by the unimaginable might of the hivemind.

lyxal

But fine, if the people want you in charge, I'll trade it in for cookies and be on my way.

Redwolf Programs

I'll go through the trouble of getting my items in almost all situations, but for the end I just do backups

@cairdcoinheringaahing Want me to try a one cycle?

I've got four beds :p

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms I open to lan, switch to creative, grab my items and go back to where I was when I died :P

@RedwolfPrograms Then why is your spawn thousands of blocks away? :P

Redwolf Programs

'cause I was too lazy to sleep in the stronghold

caird coinheringaahing

ಠ_ಠ

This is on you :P

Redwolf Programs

Yeah I'll do this another time, my end spawn is complete garbage

The island is tiny, so it's a tough pearl throw to get to it, and once you're there the towers are crazy tall so you can't even destroy the crystals. I've only got four beds so one cycling isn't an option.

caird coinheringaahing

Can't remember where I saw it, but I've seen a video of someone one cycling the dragon with just an enchanted diamond sword

I guess with Sharpness 5, criting every hit and the dragon spending ages on the fountain, it's doable

Redwolf Programs

The number of hits you deal is what determines how long it's on its nest IIRC

U and y are very close together

@Bubbler Ah, like scala ducks

Bubbler

@user Actually kinda similar, except that you can use monads anywhere

caird coinheringaahing

I'm tempted to make a tacit lang where there are only dyads, but you construct monads by prefixing or postfixing a character (or prefixing one of two characters) which say whether the monad takes the left or right argument

user

Do you happen to have a link for a tutorial or something explaining them

caird coinheringaahing

e.g. if + is addition, .+ is "double left" and +. is "double right"

user

+. Looks very j-y

hyper-neutrino

2:04 AM

make a language that only contains monads except they face right and left

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino No, bad hyper swats with rolled-up newspaper :P

hyper-neutrino

and monads can chain based on direction to do various things, so a left-right monad combo might take a left and right argument and then perform some dyadic task on it instead

Bubbler

@cairdcoinheringaahing How would you parse +.+?

hyper-neutrino

you know i'm just gonna unfeature the ads so hopefully when it's locked there won't be extreme pain for 3 months

caird coinheringaahing

@Bubbler That's why I'm thinking about " prefixing one of two characters" as well, so <+ is double left and +> is double right

Bubbler

2:06 AM

That looks better

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Mod abuse (to improve user experience)!!!111!!eleven eleven

Bubbler

or maybe you meant <+ and >+

or use +. and +: to get a J look and feel :P

caird coinheringaahing

Maybe, it's still just a concept, and I need to hide my other 4 in-dev programming languages first :P

Bubbler

@user oK manual has a paragraph about trains. (use Ctrl+F to find the word "train") It's so simple it doesn't need more than that :P

Redwolf Programs

I like the aesthetics of .+ and +. more. You can make +.+ do something special, or just parse right-to-left by default.

user

2:09 AM

Oh nice 😊

Redwolf Programs

If you ask me about the quality of that manual, I'd tell you it's just oK

:p (also jk, it looks good)

caird coinheringaahing

+.+ has exactly 2 possible interpretations, depending on LTR or RTL parsing (+. + or + .+), so it's not difficult to establish a meaning for it

Bubbler

Yeah. I just mentioned it to say "there is a parsing ambiguity as-is", nothing more

caird coinheringaahing

On the other hand, parsing ambiguities is a staple of my programming languages :P

"rn" isn't as close to "m" as "m" is to "rn", if that makes sense

tom to pieces

hyper-neutrino

that looks exactly like "memes" to me if i take off my glasses and then zoom in to 240% because otherwise i can't read it at all

Bubbler

Poor Tom

Redwolf Programs

@lyxal Yeah that looks exactly like "torn" to me unless I look really hard

Definitely a font/zoom thing

Bubbler

I read both "rnernes" and "tom" correctly immediately

PyGamer0

arrgh i arn gettting a headache

hyper-neutrino

4:15 AM

that looks almost like "torn" when i zoom out to 67% but even then i can still tell it's "tom", and at 50% i can no longer really read anything

PyGamer0

wow 50% zoom is like seeing ants on your screen

Redwolf Programs

I'm on 1366x768 with 90% zoom, so definitely not great for keeping text sharp :p

hyper-neutrino

lol

1920x1080 with 110% so probably a bit nicer :p though given that i may be closer or farther from my screen that probably doesn't really mean much on its own

Redwolf Programs

I have heard complaints of this being an issue in some other places on SE, so it's not just me it seems

PyGamer0

@hyper-neutrino my res: 1440×900

Redwolf Programs

4:18 AM

That's a new one to me

PyGamer0

and100% for windows zoom and 110% default on firefox

lyxal

why tf can't my uni use straight quotes when including code examples in lecture slides?!

PyGamer0

ok now i rnust open tweams

lyxal

they really do be using "smart" quotes

Bubbler

The chat uses Verdana at 12px for me. My screen is 1920x1080 and I just use everything at 100% zoom

@lyxal Are the lecture slides in Powerpoint?

lyxal

4:20 AM

@Bubbler yep

hyper-neutrino

same but 110%, and it looks fine at 100% i just +10%'d it to make it a bit more comfortable

Bubbler

Well, code is not first class in powerpoint, what do you expect

At least it's better than a screenshot (...or probably worse)

lyxal

the screenshots have straight quotes at least

hyper-neutrino

that makes it worse

Bubbler

Every lecture slide should be closed as low effort according to SO guidelines

hyper-neutrino

4:22 AM

the copy-pastable content is broken

and the stuff you can't isn't

lyxal

but they could at least turn off smart quotes

Bubbler

Meanwhile I'm taking Linux Basics online course just because I have to accumulate enough education points at work

lyxal

huh, must just be copy-paste issues - the lecture is an epic gamer because he uses vim

PyGamer0

ok wwhy is windows singing

lyxal

wdym?

Bubbler

4:28 AM

mmmm me when learning JS in early september

Redwolf Programs

Good, you can suffer with us

lyxal

hehe only 1 lecture tho

Bubbler

4:55 AM

You can always opt-in for JS in any class with a project, by claiming "I want to do this on a web browser" :P

I actually did it once in graphics by using WebGL

Q: A quantum quine

Your challenge is to write a program that is a quine, meaning it prints out its own source code. For at least one individual character, when it is removed from the program's source, a single different character is removed from the output. By different, I mean that the character removed from the c...
