@DLosc what game are we playing? hello world quiz?

if we are then my best is 3500

@Fmbalbuena No, I don't think I'll write an essay about it ;P

ok so i have to gtg.

@pxeger (good video about it: youtube.com/watch?v=xV1aKUdlljU)

@DLosc I'm pretty sure their Prolog example is messed up, though. It looks like it includes the output with the code.

I really want to implement a new esolang, but instead of implementing any of the many ideas I already have, I'm trying to come up with new ideas. I think I have a problem.

So do I

I also think you have a problem

:p

lol

The only thing harder than trying to understand somebody else's old code is trying to understand your own old code.

After trying to read the Plumber interpreter's code, I feel your pain lol

Idk how I managed to find a purpose for like a 4d array but I did

Oh, you don't understand Plumber either? Nice, I thought it was just me :P

Considering a part II of Implement Ash's Float Division

Implement Ash's Pow Function

It's actually pretty complicated:

var pow = (...numbers) => {
    var bigints = numbers.slice(1).map(math.to_bigint);

    var x = bigints[bigints.length - 1];

    var p;

    for (var i = bigints.length - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (bigints[i] == 0n && bigints[1] < 0n) {
            x = 0n;

            continue;
        }

        p = (math.positive(bigints[i]) ** math.positive(x)) * (math.sign(bigints[i]) ** math.positive(x));

        x = x < 0n ? 1n / p : p;
    }

    if (math.is_bigint(numbers[0]) && numbers[0] == 0n && x < 0n)

i got an email from my uni saying i was eligible to apply for smth and the link straight up 404'd 💀 it works now like an hour and a half after they sent the email but like bruh

That Math.tanh answer to the float division question was so cool, totally nominating it for a Best Of this year

my bounty is in 1 day.

so who i give bounty to a answer?

(codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/237408/…)

that is entirely up to you since you haven't specified a criteria for what type of answer you were looking for with the bounty

so really just whichever one you like

@hyper-neutrino this is elections.

what?

for giving a bounty to X where X is the most elected answer.

What does "most elected" mean? Greatest number of votes?

sorry for caps

@tjjfvi yeah

Well, right now that would be my BF answer

what answer?

(which I'll be posting an explanation for soon)

what answer?

That one is the one with the most upvotes

you can't vote yourself

Oh, don't mean upvotes/downvotes

But an election in this chat?

@tjjfvi ye-ah

...interesting

I'm not going to argue against that system, as I have a conflict of interest, but it seems like a strange way to go about it

@lyxal i got 669 rep.

nice

@lyxal have you ever posted Vyxal code to Hello, World! Collection

No

@lyxal ok so

what about seeing this

Yay, I implemented Newton-Raphson for finding roots of numbers all by myself!

Take that, anyone who's ever said "I'll never use this in real life"

how many bytes?

It's not for golfing purposes, so 286 :p

I'll golf it tho, just for fun

CMQ: are you able to enter and see text you enter on the vyxal site?

asking because there was a bug in the last 12 hours with the syntax highlighting which made all text invisible

@lyxal only diff is the site

vyxal instead of lyxal

that's not the point

the point is that there were issues with the code boxes

@RedwolfPrograms "Your golf score is 286? Don't make me laugh!" - Weird Al, probably

@lyxal And the diff is THE GEORGE IS A NOBLE ANIMAL dissapeared

@Fmbalbuena also not the point

?????????

github.com/Vyxal/Vyxal/issues/300

Yep, I see text

@lyxal 58, could probably be golfier with recursion of some sort

@tjjfvi okay good

that means the new CDN is working

Ah frick, I made a mistake

When the input is less than 1, it stops too early :(

Actually, this is easy to fix

@lyxal Am I doing it right?

Yep

Was worried that'd be lyxal for a second

The bug was that no text was showing

Which was due to a bug in our syntax highlighter

Which I fixed 12 hours ago but of course the cdn we were using (jsdelivr) caches the latest release for a week

@RedwolfPrograms Nah. Looks like it returns the maximum digit from the input, I guess.

@DLosc that's pure coincidence

Because it's raising 14 to the power of 1(the first digit) and getting the last digit of the result

*laughs*

No wait maybe it is

Seems pretty consistent

Ah I see what's happening

This is a te ends up being one big NOP

Because the a returns 1 which raises the input to the power of 1

the st is last of the sorted version

Ah, nice

In Pip, This is a test outputs 10 no matter what the input is

because t is 10

Why New Posts don't post?

Good question, now that I'm home I need to fix that

here is a question

I swear, this is the fourth time the RAID's detected my main SSD as a foreign drive

Apparently that could be a sign of upcoming drive failure

Eh, I'll make a backup and wait for someting to happen to it before I decide to care

@AaroneousMiller you had me worried for a moment then

gosh dang it

@RedwolfPrograms it's more a wrapper over normal eval

it behaves differently based on whether the interpreter is online or not

If I mess up this tar command and overwrite my whole hard drive or something I'm switching to Microsoft Bob Server Edition

why not Microsoft Jim or Microsoft Tom?

Just posted an explanation to my BF explainer in BF

Writing & editing it took like 5x longer than writing the answer itself 😅

Well I was wondering why backing up my home directory on my server was taking so long, and that's because it contains 100GiB of backups, Minecraft survival worlds (including Redwolf SMP), and ISOs for various linuxes

So we have LotM and AoCG in December?

@Bubbler I'm excited for AoCG

@Bubbler tasty :p
