@hyper-neutrino Now that you're here: The TryAPL bot only says you can edit your message when you forget both backticks. If you forget only one, it still notifies you of the problem, but doesn't give that useful hint.
@Dudecoinheringaahing literally "elephant racing" in German; when a lorry blocks the outside lane while overtaking a lorry in the inside lane because it's going 0.1mph faster
@Adám we're typically less litigious in the UK, so I don't think I will :Þ
It's a lot easier if you just call everything that's not a car a truck. Car? Car. Truck? Truck. 18-wheeler? Truck. Tank? Truck. Keyboard? Truck. Cat? Truck.
This conversation is very confusing to me because to me "truck" refers to something like an F-150, and "semi-truck" or "18-wheeler" refers to one of the big trucks, and "lorry" just isn't in my vocabulary :p
@Dudecoinheringaahing Wait, no, I think I've gotten to 6. IIRC, the entrance to the motorway around northern Bristol goes from a single lane country road, onto the on-ramp via a roundabout, and the motorway has 6 lanes while you figure out where in Bristol you're going
CMC: Given two black-box functions f(x,y) and g(x), and either one or two values (you can take them as a 1-or-2 element list) compute f(x,g(y)) if you're given 2 values and f(x,g(x)) if you're given one value.
@Adám Actually, kinda. For example, this shows the actual value returned (in Python terms, rather than Jelly smash-printing), so the empty argument is really an empty list
Because the way the program is parsed depends on how many arguments its given, an empty right argument can, without actually being used, change the program :P
@ThomasWard :-) Here's a better one: The APL higher-order function ⍤ when deriving a function that is used with two arguments, can be defined as {⍺⍺⍺⍵⍵⍵}
Arguably, if someone posts a post saying "I work at hotel, you should come visit, it's amazing, click here", that's not spam, as it discloses their affiliation
and since you can't not disclose affiliation unless there's some affiliation to disclose (i.e., it exists to promote), it just needs to exist not to promote
@pxeger I think it's alright as long as he doesn't say something like "Use APL today to make your servers run faster, toughen up your firewalls, and bring a glow to your face!"
@Dudecoinheringaahing Dude was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics for singlehandedly proving the necessity of the destruction of every site with rules against spam on the internet
:facepalm: I did a bunch of stuff in my simple badges userscript to stylize the mod badge and do the spacing and stuff, when I could have just done it the way it's done on the main site:class="mod-flair"
QMC: Given two non-negative numbers A and B, output A to the power of B. Answers should give 0 when A is 0 and 1 when B is 0. If both A and B are 0, you may output either 0 or 1, your choice.
