Interesting, we have the highest number of occurrences, but it's also a religious and scifi thing...

DLosc

As before, it's a single English word

Redwolf Programmed

This one's interesting because 2257 is a lot of results for something on CGCC

lyxal

@DLosc I tried words liker higher and above and got more than 2.2k results for both

It also isn't pencil, book or power

DLosc

Want results for any SE sites I haven't included?

Islam and Ask Ubuntu

Maybe Politics too because why not

Chemistry

DLosc

@RedwolfProgrammed 87

user

In the same vein, Physics, Math, and Astronomy

Oh, CS and Theoretical CS

DLosc

@user 12 and 20, respectively

Ooh

DLosc

@RedwolfProgrammed 6

Redwolf Programmed

Dang, and I have to leave now :/

lyxal

Can we have a word hint?

user

I was gonna go with "free" because it comes close on CGCC, but too many results on SO

Redwolf Programmed

Well, it's something politically charged, possibly magical in nature, religious, and golfy. lol

user

00:09

I find it interesting that SO has only a thousand or so results

DLosc

@user 276, 17, and 2, respectively

user

@RedwolfProgrammed Probably not golfy, but somethg that comes up often in challenges

DLosc

@lyxal It is 8 letters

user

Ooh, physics is pretty high

lyxal

@DLosc meta cg

DLosc

00:10

@user 12 and 4 respectively

@lyxal 801

lyxal

Wow

That's a lot

user

It's possible ours is also high because of a famous user with an 8-letter name

lyxal

@DLosc a second hint?

DLosc

@lyxal Hint: This result is very significant

Second hint: It's not anyone's username

user

By "this result", do you mean the word?

Or is your hint a cryptic clue?

Bubbler

00:15

Answer: LOOPHOLE

DLosc

Bingo!

Bubbler

Nice

user

Nice one!

This is a fun game, anyone want to bring up another word? (in a different room, probly)

Bubbler

Religion has loopholes, physics has loopholes, code golf has loopholes :P

user

@DLosc I'm a bit puzzled by Cooking and Judaism having "loophole"

DLosc

00:17

@Bubbler And RPG and Worldbuilding have lots of loopholes

Bubbler

Yeah :P

user

When in doubt, handwave everything away :P

Bubbler

CG Meta was a big hint really

DLosc

@user TBH, I wasn't surprised that Judaism had a lot more hits than Christianity or Islam.

user

Anyone want to continue?

@DLosc Really, why?

DLosc

00:20

@user Adám is more qualified to speak to this than I am, but I get the impression that Judaism focuses a lot on whether things are allowable or not, based on a close reading of the Tanakh, Mishnah, and other important writings (and opinions of various Rabbis).

user

Ah

You can proof a theorem by covering it with a damp towel and putting it in an oven set to 85℉ (302½K), or just leave the oven lamp on with the door closed, until volume is doubled. — JDługosz 10 hours ago

A: Let's think of a creative name for our chatroom

Well, the traditional generic name for the country club bar is "the nineteenth hole", which suggests The Nineteenth Byte or something like that.

Redwolf Programmed

CMQ: How do you respond to someone who asks you what you're doing when you're code golfing/what you do for fun if that's code golf?

I always have trouble explaining what it is, especially to non-programs

emanresu A

You were a programs

Bubbler

"I just code for fun"

People don't understand me but don't ask much more about it. If someone asks more, they're also a programmer

emanresu A

02:06

^ pretty much

lyxal

@RedwolfProgrammed solving problems as short as possible

And if you think explaining code golf is difficult, imagine how much harder it is explaining that you created and maintain a programming language specifically for code golf

One person once thought that meant that the language does things faster

And then there's the question "oh so what can it do can it be used for <task x that it really isnt made for at all>"

Unrelated String

i need a hilarious example

lyxal

"Can vyxal be used to make websites/apps?"

Granted it's a perfectly legitimate question

It's having to answer "no" that's a marginally bit awkward

Unrelated String

lmao

granted it *can* because of python eval
it just *shouldn't*

lyxal

And then the follow up question is "so what can it be used for"

To which the answer is "solving challenges tersely"

Which doesn't make it sound that important lol

Unrelated String

02:21

lol

lyxal

Luckily I don't have many social interactions, so the question isn't really an issue

Redwolf Programmed

Call it something like "competitive programming", that makes it sound much more official and cool

Razetime

yeah that sounds agood

lyxal

@RedwolfProgrammed dang where were you when I needed that response? :p

emanresu A

@lyxal We need server hosting capabilities

lyxal

02:24

@emanresuA I was going to make a joke about writing a crappy flask wrapper but then I realised that could work

Redwolf Programmed

My steps for social interactions:
1. Somebody says something to you
2. Not pay attention and don't know what they said
3. Mumble something that vaguely answers the most likely things they could have asked
4. They were just being nice and didn't actually care about the answer and since it was a non-answer it's kinda awkward now
5. Nobody wants to socialize with you anyway

emanresu A

¨S - (fun<str,fun<str>,fun<int>,fun<>>,int) -> host server on port a with callback b, a quadradic function taking a string (request), a write function, a send HTTP code function and an end transmission function

Bubbler

My steps for social interactions:
1. I don't have a social account

lyxal

@emanresuA oh boy that looks horrible :p

The vectorisation for that would be absolute pain :p

emanresu A

Why'd you want to vectorise server creation?

Example code:

lyxal

02:29

Just in case you're given a list of servers to host as input :p

Razetime

@emanresuA often you have a client and server in the same program

emanresu A

@hostserver:request:write:sendhttp:end|
  ←sendhttp 200 †
  ←write `Hello, world!` †
  ←end †
;
°hostserver; 8080 ¨S

Bubbler

At that point you might want to use a readable name for the built-in anyway :P

DLosc

03:14

@RedwolfProgrammed I generally work up to it by multiple stages of explanations, stopping wherever they start looking confused: programming, programming challenges, solving programming challenges with a program as short as possible, making a new programming language that's designed to have short programs

That's if I'm talking to close friends who actually care about hearing the answer. If some random person just asked "What do you do for fun?" I'd probably say something about programming hobby projects.

And then go on to talk about the other things I do for fun, one of which might be more likely to get the "nod of recognition"

(inb4 someone says "imagine having other hobbies")

Redwolf Programmed

I've got all sorts of hobbies! Code golf, uh... golfing language design, um... progamming language design, uh... programming, erm... uh...

Redwolf Programmed

03:47

So uh...my model for which languages will be most useful to learn based on people's opinions on them in the 2020 SO dev survey has basically predicted that all of programming will die out.

Fun

Unrelated String

epic

Redwolf Programmed

Oh wait, Rust will grow hugely it seems, along with a few others like Node and Go

Unrelated String

i assume it's just a downward trend in every individual language on there?

lol figures

Redwolf Programmed

I think it's because a lot of people said they didn't want to continue using languages that they'll actually still end up having to use

E.g. I doubt 40% of JS users are going to stop using it in the next year

Bubbler

Lol, JS is horrible but basically everyone is stuck with it in some way

Unrelated String

03:50

yeah

Redwolf Programmed

Okay I think it's slightly more accurate now, it's still predicting most languages going down in usage quite a little, but I suppose that's probably accurate anyway

Unrelated String

boy i can't wait to maintain this 50 year old cobol codebase next year

Redwolf Programmed

And the ranking of the languages is much more important than their actual values

It predicts Typescript will be used almost as much as JS itself lol

Bubbler

Well, by using JS you're technically already using TS

Unrelated String

true

Redwolf Programmed

03:57

I made an interesting ranking. It ranks languages by how much people who already use them want to continue using them, vs. how many people who don't use them want to do so.

So sort of like the most cult-like languages :p

The ones at the bottom are a mix of ones that people tend to use a lot or learn first, like JS and Python, as well as ones like Rust that lots of people are wanting to learn

Bubbler

I expect APL near the top

Redwolf Programmed

It's second place, yeah

Unrelated String

nice

Bubbler

I wonder which language is more unknown and more addictive than APL

Redwolf Programmed

Delphi

Bubbler

04:01

Oh.

One of the long-running Project Euler mods is a Delphi-er

Redwolf Programmed

Here's the list. I flipped it upside down and titled it "Most Desired", to fit with the theme of "Most Loved", "Most Wanted", etc. from the survey

> Basically, a rating of how likely it is that you'll want to pick up a language if you don't know it, compared to wanting to stick with it if you already know it. Languages higher on this list will be ones people tend to learn first but move away from quicker (lots of the more typical languages like JS, Python, Java, and C), and/or newer languages that people are rushing to learn (like Rust and Go).

Most Worthwhile: The languages that are predicted to be most worth learning, based on current usage, as well as on whether or not current users plan to stick with it, and whether or not non-users plan to learn it.

hyper-neutrino

yeah, I'm not surprised Python is at the top of the list

it's a really popular and really attractive entry point to programming because it looks innocent and friendly and stabs you in your sleep when you least expect it

4

Redwolf Programmed

It's at the top of both lists, which means that it's a language that's both very worthwhile to learn, and least likely to be the one you'll want to stick with for a long time

JS is also in that position

Bubbler

Any "easy-to-learn" programming language will stab you at some point

hyper-neutrino

i don't think the stats reflect that python is a language you won't want to stick with tho

Redwolf Programmed

04:10

@RedwolfProgrammed Although actually the two lists seem to have a lot of overlap

hyper-neutrino

just that it's a language a lot of people will pick up or learn as a first language or for fun and then will end up either switching to something else or just ditching programming after doing a bit of python

Redwolf Programmed

@hyper-neutrino Yeah, I'm still not really sure how to interpret the first list

It's a bit ambiguous whether a given language is there because it's easy to learn and often used as a first language, or because it's a newer or quickly growing language and lots of people are planning on learning it

hyper-neutrino

i think it's a combination of being easy to learn, extremely popular and thus a language that immediately comes to people's minds when they think about programming, and having a lot of availability in terms of tutorials, classes, etc.

Redwolf Programmed

If something is low on the first list and high on the second, like HTML/CSS or SQL, that seems to indicate it's a more narrowly focused language you'll pick up and use from time to time for a while

I've been meaning to try Rust again for a while

That 87% loved statistic makes it pretty tempting

Bubbler

As always, a quick way to learn the basics of some language is to solve problems on Codewars or some other OJ sites

PyGamer0

CMQ: Should I take arguments from stdin or command line args?

Redwolf Programmed

Use a flag for that

PyGamer0

@RedwolfProgrammed which is better to keep as default?

Redwolf Programmed

No clue

Probably args

PyGamer0

@RedwolfProgrammed why? it is better than stdin?

Redwolf Programmed

04:24

It's easier to test stuff, but really nobody's going to be using the downloaded one if there's an online interpreter available

Bubbler

Args are well-separated from each other, stdin not quite

Redwolf Programmed

The low level details of this sort of thing rarely matter for code golf though, so if this is intended to be a golfing language it's not a big deal

Especially since online interpreters are a thing

Bubbler

For solely CGCC usage, it's mostly a matter of taste

PyGamer0

ok then stdin

Bubbler

For stdin you have to consider that abc\ndef is somewhat ambiguous: is it two args abc and def, or a single arg abc\ndef?

PyGamer0

04:30

2 args

stdin splitted by newlines

Bubbler

Then you can't take "single string which may contain newlines" as input

Unrelated String

so to take input containing newlines, you'd need to escape them, which opens a whole other can of worms

er yeah strictly speaking you couldn't for program submissions lol

Bubbler

True

Redwolf Programmed

I just realized I'm subscribed to two completely different swedish YTers named Mattias

Unrelated String

i mean
not an uncommon name

Redwolf Programmed

04:35

Yeah but like...something like 1 in 10k people are swedish and named mattias

And out of my 100 or so subscriptions two are swedish and named Mattias

hyper-neutrino

are they similar in terms of their content?

Redwolf Programmed

No

One modifies guitars/pianos in really stupid ways, like putting guitar strings on a piano. The other is an animator whose grandfather is responsible for the law banning pet monkeys in sweden.

Unrelated String

responsible in the sense of pushed for it or responsible in the sense of caused an incident that prompted it

Redwolf Programmed

The second one

The monkey nearly killed him

I added code-golf to this, but since it uses instructions should I change it to atomic code golf or code challenge?

atomic code golf would probably be the right tag

Redwolf Programmed

Personally I'd probably go with code-challenge, since it's already language specific so tagging it as atomic doesn't mean much

@RedwolfProgrammed Does climate change do some sort of uno-reverse-card in the winter?

hyper-neutrino

17:11

climate change results in more extreme weather

it isn't only warming - hence why "global warming" is being replaced with climate change by most people since it's not very accurate

Mayube

climate change messes with critical meteorological components such as the jet streams and the Gulf Stream, which cause all manner of changes, both warmer and colder.

Ultimately it makes the climate more extreme in both directions

Some climate scientists predict that the end result of unchecked climate change is another ice age

Redwolf Programmed

I'm hoping it snows again this year, the first snow storm last year (not the bad one) was awesome

@Mayube I moved from the US to Toronto when I was really young and then to Waterloo when I was also really young so I don't remember any of that :P I moved a few years back but it was still within Waterloo so, not as fun or interesting as your move :P

Mine for JS was x=>[...new Set(x).entries()]

DLosc

Huh. Is a Set basically a mapping x => x then?

Redwolf Programmed

Yep

DLosc

I guess that makes sense.

Mayube

@hyper-neutrino I mean the experience definitely wasn't fun. It ended up being ~24 hours of travelling, starting at 5am UK time. It was exhausting

DLosc

Mayube

anyway to answer my own question, Quest for Tetris is an absolute marvel of computer engineering, and one that I've talked to my programming friends so much about that they just avoid bringing up GoL entirely around me :P

Wezl programs redwolf

I also need anana juic

DLosc

@Mayube Yeah that.

Besides that, I've always found this Tweetable Math Art amazing, both for the results and for the golfing.

Mayube

@DLosc that is indeed very cool

in fact most of the answers on there are really cool

I really love popcon-like challenges involving drawing things with interesting constraints

Mayube

me too

Redwolf Programmed

That one and the images with all colors one are both really cool and have some great answers

Mayube

I also just learned what a Buddhabrot is, and it's beautiful

Redwolf Programmed

20:09

This is pretty cool

Mayube

I'm a big fan of generative art in general, so seeing what people can generate under constraints like this is awesome

I really love that there is a MIPS assembly question that is being upvoted!

And not closed for being restricted to one language for example

We are very cool :)
