I'm working on defining a spec for a golfy Markdown flavor, with a builtin scripting language. I'm hoping to make a Turing-Complete flavor of Markdown, which I'm hoping ends up becoming exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.

Unless I come up with something better, I'm thinking of calling it Descend

Unrelated String

oh boy

Redwolf Programs

Reminds me of Ash's turing complete string compression :p

pxeger

@AaroneousMiller as in, descend into madness?

@RedwolfPrograms please elaborate. That sounds amazing...

Unrelated String

honestly it's not a bad idea to have a language that's just a composition of a bunch of domain-specific languages

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger It's complicated. Basically, you could do find+replace with it, and save things in registers, and with some sort of recursive trick you could use those plus some other functions to implement /// or something similar

pxeger

21:11

@UnrelatedString What is now kvdf started out as a pure string compression language

Unrelated String

lmao nice

pxeger

@RedwolfPrograms that's pretty cool actually lol

Aaroneous Miller

Vyxal's strings used to be TC because you could break out of them and execute arbitrary Python. That counts, right? :p

Aaroneous Miller

21:38

Why is "last night" acceptable, but "last afternoon" or "last morning" sounds really weird?

Redwolf Programs

Set phrase I guess

Last afternoon sounds better to me than last morning

But "yesterday afternoon" is what I'm used to hearing which is probably why it's weird sounding

Aaroneous Miller

21:53

same

Redwolf Programs

Same sort of thing as "the red big car" I guess...perfectly fine grammatically, just unusual

lyxal

22:09

@RedwolfPrograms there's reason for that, and it's called the royal order of adjectives

Size is meant to go before colour, which is why the sentence sounds a little weird

Alan Bagel

"Clifford the red big dog"

hyper-neutrino

big isn't a shape

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino obviously

hyper-neutrino

oh i should've waited for your edit timer to expire

lyxal

Haha nerd

hyper-neutrino

22:14

*11s your message back*

Fmbalbuena

If, Else and While loops in Verbose Charcoal?

lyxal

I sure hope rak1507 doesn't get too dizzy rn

Rak do be in the microwave tho

hyper-neutrino

interestingly, expanding the image made it harder to see

Fmbalbuena

@lyxal why?

lyxal

@Fmbalbuena because rak1507 is one of my plates

Fmbalbuena

22:19

@lyxal ??? why rak1507?

lyxal

Aug 25 at 0:46, by exedraj

There is the rak plate

Fmbalbuena

@lyxal yeah but why?

lyxal

Pure coincidence

Fmbalbuena

@lyxal ???

?????

???????

???????????

lyxal

3 people live in my cupboard.

Fmbalbuena

22:24

I still don't understand

but @lyxal can i live on your cupboard?

lyxal

Depends if I have a plate similar to your pfp

Fmbalbuena

then maye can you paint the Add++ on the Red plate?

lyxal

There are no plates with that shade of red

Fmbalbuena

Ok so... plate made of glass?

lyxal

Don't got any of those

Fmbalbuena

22:30

@lyxal Why you don't make heart to comments by R. M. Tosh? (In Youtube)

lyxal

I thought I had

Anush

If I have a file with one positive integer per line, how can I add them all up in bash?

hyper-neutrino

python3 -c "print(sum(map(int, __import__('sys').stdin.read().split())))" < file

lol

Anush

@hyper-neutrino that worked!

but I was hoping for dc or bc magic :)

hyper-neutrino

i mean it's not really a bash solution anymore but like :P

Anush

22:34

@hyper-neutrino hopefully someone will come along with some bash magic

maybe this?

raw=$(cat file)
echo $(( ${raw//$'\n'/+} ))

Fmbalbuena

funny question in SO

oh deleted instantly

Anush

CMC Given a file with one positive integer per line, add them all up

hyper-neutrino

i don't see how that's funny

Fmbalbuena

@Anush Try it online!

Anush

@Fmbalbuena cool

Alan Bagel

22:46

lambda f:sum(map(int,f))

assuming f is a file

print(sum(map(int,iter(input,""))))

DLosc

@Anush Use Perl (see example program at the end of the post)

Of course, Pip is shorter, but (alas) I don't suppose you have it on your local machine

DLosc

23:06

@Anush After some trial and error, I came up with this: Try it online!

The sed step is only there to add a newline to the end of the input, since bc throws a fit if there isn't one. :P

Then too, this approach also breaks if the file does have a trailing newline, so YMMV

The Perl solution is much more robust.

Fmbalbuena

23:22

@lyxal wdym

xkcd

hyper-neutrino

RFC 1149.5 specifies 4 as the standard IEEE-vetted random number.

Fmbalbuena

@hyper-neutrino welp i need to ident code blocks

hyper-neutrino

if you want to multiline code-block just press ctrl-k in a multiline message or click the "fixed font" button on the right

Fmbalbuena

   this?

Neil

@DLosc paste -sd+|bc is the best I could find

Fmbalbuena

23:35

@Neil can i learn Charcoal?

Neil

@Fmbalbuena I guess I can try to answer any questions you have in it in that room you made, but I don't watch chat religiously so expect a delayed response

Fmbalbuena

@Neil tio.run/##S85ILErOT8z5/788IzMnVUEjpKg0VbO69v///7plOQA

Neil

True doesn't exist in Charcoal

Fmbalbuena

@Neil ok so 1?

tio.run/##S85ILErOT8z5/788IzMnVUHDULO69v///7plOQA

Try it online!

Neil

so?

Fmbalbuena

23:42

@Neil is there a way to convert normal to verbose in Charcoal?

Neil

not yet

ASCII-only was working on it at one point, but I haven't seen him for a year

Fmbalbuena

and... variables?

in verbose?

Neil

have you read the wiki yet?

Fmbalbuena

@Neil yet but not verbose. link?

Neil

on the syntax page, it lists the variables

Fmbalbuena

23:49

but how to define?

Neil

I don't understand your question

there are 24 variables, 8 of them predefined, 5 shadow the first five inputs

Fmbalbuena

@Neil like a = "example"?

Neil

Assign("example", a);

Fmbalbuena

@Neil ok
