Fission, 17 bytes R"Hello, World!"; Try it online! First time trying Fission out.

caird coinheringaahing

As fun as divergent series can be to play around with, there's nothing more irritating to me than someone claiming 1 + 2 + 3 + ... = -1/8 or similar :/

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh. I didn't realise

@cairdcoinheringaahing It's -1/12 btw

caird coinheringaahing

It's neither :P

-1/12 comes from analytic continuation of the zeta function, -1/8 comes from rearranging the terms, I'll sketch up a "proof"

Mayube

@cairdcoinheringaahing According to my 'calculator', it's TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'ellipsis'

@Mayube ooh what is it called

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@cairdcoinheringaahing linking the helpful post by terence tao on this

Mayube

@AlanBagel It's called Python

caird coinheringaahing

@cairdcoinheringaahing I will be very impressed if someone sandboxes and posts an off-topic post however :P

Mayube

@cairdcoinheringaahing to be fair a post getting negative feedback in the sandbox doesn't stop them from posting it

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

7:07 PM

i think i'ts more that most ppl who post off-topic things don't do so intentionally, or don't care enough about what's on-topic to post it in hte sandbox first

Mayube

@Hello,World! You should probably check that an answer hasn't already been posted before posting :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Yeah, if you rock up to the site with an off-topic question and you investigate enough to post in the Sandbox, wait a bit, then post it to main, that's so bizarre to me that I'd be impressed :P

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

not impressed enough to not close it though smh all that effort wasted

Mayube

that's dunning-kruger level confidence

"I've spent 5 minutes on this site and know more than everyone. You tell me this question is off-topic but you're wrong"

thejonymyster

minmaxing dunning kruger

caird coinheringaahing

7:11 PM

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Exercise 1 on that reminds me of something I've never really understood about differentiable functions, which is that every function I've encountered that's differentiable is infinitely differentiable, so I can't really think of what a function that can only be differentiated a finite number of times would look like

Mayube

@thejonymyster a guy in my D&D group min-maxed father figure, so you can probably min-max anything if you try hard enough

caird coinheringaahing

I would argue I've minmaxed my golfing ability :P I have a 18 in Jelly golfing, like a 10 in Python, and a zero in everything else :P

On second thoughts, I don't think I can claim a 20 in Jelly :P

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@cairdcoinheringaahing that's 100% not true everywhere? its totally possible to define some partial functions that get funky up in there i think

thejonymyster

@cairdcoinheringaahing thats good if youre golfing those

Mayube

@cairdcoinheringaahing I think Oath of Golfing's capstone is a +4 to max Jelly score

thejonymyster

7:13 PM

0 in bf is incredibly impressive

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

quick google gives me f(x) = {x < 0: -x^3, x > 0: x^3}

caird coinheringaahing

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ I'm sure it is. like, I understand that such functions exist, I just can't recall ever seeing one

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

differentiable until u hit -6 vs. 6 i think

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah maybe a better mathematician than i can chime in about a more natural discontinuous function that fulfills that

thejonymyster

@cairdcoinheringaahing unless im misunderstanding: cant you just take a nondifferentiable function and integrate it to get a finitely differentiable function

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@thejonymyster yeah i think that would work too

thejonymyster

7:15 PM

ok thank god i still know math

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing abs(x)

thejonymyster

its one of my defining traits

Mayube

@thejonymyster conversely one of my defining traits is that I don't know math

caird coinheringaahing

I will say, my analysis unit has just gotten to the actual definition of a continuous function, we're still months away from differentiation :P

@emanresuA That's infinitely differentiable at x != 0

thejonymyster

i can differentiate any function (from any other)

caird coinheringaahing

7:16 PM

I bet you can't differentiate f from the Taylor series representation of f, when we examine a small region around a point (a, f(a)) :P

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing See I'd write that as x = x + 1, so don't worry about me turning to the dark side and becoming a -(1 / 12)er

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing Taylor series are cool

thejonymyster

they really are

Redwolf Programs

7:18 PM

I like how the one for cosine works so well

Wiggly boi

caird coinheringaahing

I will say, Taylor series are the closest I've gotten to understanding non-infinitely differentiable functions

If there's ever a point where the Taylor expansion is actually equal to the function, at all points, then it's non-infinitely differentiable (I think)

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

that sounds eminently reasonable

caird coinheringaahing

One caveat is zero derivatives that kinda mess with it, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

god writing out hash tables for my homework scares me to no end since i can't keep count very well. i understand this perfectly fine but i'm putting my finger on my laptop screen to try to make sure i can put the funky little number in the right box

caird coinheringaahing

Like. Technically speaking, polynomials are infinitely differentiable, but by that definition, they aren't

Tbh, I don't really like any of the co- trig functions

Redwolf Programs

I personally believe that if inverse trig functions ever comes up in whatever you're doing, you should stop immediately and throw it in the nearest fire

caird coinheringaahing

Except for integration

They're hella clutch in integration at times

Mayube

I wasn't sure if trig was the right choice for me, but then I saw the sine

Alan Bagel

@AlanBagel thats just a fancy name for 1/2 (ha) coversine (1+sin) iirc

emanresu A

Alan Bagel

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ so it's just (sin(x)+1)/2

CMQ: What's your favorite easing function?

caird coinheringaahing

7:26 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing For anyone wondering, if f(a) is a function such that d/da f(a) = archacovercos(a), then f(a) = ((2a-1)arcsin(2a-1) + sqrt(1 - (2a-1) ** 2)) / 2

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@emanresuA haversine was useful at one pt for navigation at sea, considering we live on a rough approximation of a sphere

Redwolf Programs

What's an easing function?

Alan Bagel

@RedwolfPrograms hmm versine

@emanresuA we should call this room "the room for the 8 bit number that is number 20"

emanresu A

@Mayube function easing() {}

thejonymyster

7:27 PM

@RedwolfPrograms sounds like a setup to a joke

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

easing function is useful to approximate change over time or smth, used for animations

i.e. a sigmoid for an ease in-out thing

thejonymyster

oh i do that by hand

caird coinheringaahing

CMQ: How do you write the inverse function of cosh(x)?

There is a right answer, and I will fight you if you get it wrong :P

Mayube

@RedwolfPrograms used in animation. Maps a float value t between 0.0 and 1.0 to some other value for the purpose of tweening. eg "lerp" is f(t) = t

caird coinheringaahing

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ For your consideration: arcosh is is character shorter than arccosh

@DLosc acosh can reasonably be understood to be area cosh, which is what the correct function is referencing :P

Besides, not sure I want to fight 3 people at once :P

DLosc

@cairdcoinheringaahing Makes sense. I don't actually know what hyperbolic trig functions are used for, but I was reasonably certain it's not arcs.

1. Walk through the checkpoint with a length of rope in your bag
2. Go to the second story
3. Drop the rope down, on a less visible face of the building

@DLosc definitely

@RedwolfPrograms You'd need to go straight to the 15th floor to bypass the locks, and the windows don't open.

It's a trick I learned a while back, don't be wrong, just redefine everything else to make you right

It's okay, I came prepared. I have a small nerf pistol on my desk. It's single shot but packs a punch. I have replaced the tip on one dart with a thumbtack
