Okay, new TNB rule: Chaining slight modifications of emoticons, especially ones that aren't original, is not allowed

Language idea: Syntax is entirely ¯\_/

pxeger

could work as a language that runs only on a hexagonal grid

emanresu A

Maybe the syntax could be tree-based?

   _
 _/ \
/ \  ¯\_
  /¯\ / \

And _¯ are interchangeable but do different things?

pxeger

it could be lispy

emanresu A

06:12

True

I already have a name idea: Infinitree

You could extend operators with multiple ¯ / _

Or combinations

Like:

   _
 _/ \
/¯\  ¯¯¯\_ _
  /¯¯\  / ¯ \

@pxeger this reminds me a bit of pyramid scheme lol

just cuz you mentioned lisp and this is vaguely pyramid-shaped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

pxeger

@emanresuA using combinations of these you could effectively encode instructions in ternary:

 012
 _ _
  ¯¯

emanresu A

Yeah

pxeger

@pxeger that's actually kinda a mixed-radix binary-ternary

emanresu A

Maybe certain signatures could be recognised as number literals, variables, functions, et

And of course they can be different when called dyadically/monadically/niladically

pxeger

06:22

and there would be two ways of calling them monadically, in fact

emanresu A

Inconvenient tho

pxeger

well yeah, what do you do about different bits of the tree getting in each other's way?

emanresu A

Either add X or do nothing and let the programmer sort them out

They'll have variables and stuff

emanresu A

07:27

Might start writing up the spec for this

emanresu A

07:41

Wth is this?

For some reason, I have made contributions on GitHub much more reliably on Mondays than any other day

interesting

it's also funny how my activity comes and goes in waves

when I look at people whose full time jobs are on GitHub, I find it funny seeing obvious gaps around their holidays

@pxeger You can also see who observes the Jewish Sabbath, and if so, whether they live on the northern or southern hemisphere:

Notice no Saturday activity in the northern summer, because the sun sets too late.

Q: Exponentiation of large numbers represented as strings

The objective Given two arbitrarily large positive integers \$a\$ and \$b\$ represented as strings (char arrays are also acceptable) output the value of \$a^{b}\$, also as a string. The behaviour is undefined if the input is non-numeric. Test cases 2**1 = 2 2**2 = 4 2**3 = 8 2**4 = 16 2**5 = 32 3...

@Neil you use retina for cmcs and charcoal for cgcc?

> advent of Unicode

Neil

10:51

@PyGamer0 I use whichever language(s) seem most appropriate

PyGamer0

now i want to make an ascii-only language

lyxal

Yes, charcoal is indeed made by ascii-only :p

ok heres a joke

the other day my friend was saying: a**hole

and i am like: why dont you say ascii hole

Adám

Maybe APLers can offend Jers by (rightfully) calling them ASCIIholes?

Would y'all consider Python 2 and Python 2.x to be the same thing?

Adám

I would.

Unless you're using a strongly typed language that cannot compare the int 2 to the float 2.x

This ^ is the NARS2000 implementation of APL.

user

16:53

How does that even work?

Adám

APLs generally allow a hanging . without further decimals, and the x suffix means "multi-precision rational".

Oh, interesting

Well. I guess I need to call the hard drive company now.

Ugh I have to talk to a human

Well I mean they almost certainly expect me to be some guy working at some company and not a random 16 year old

Ugh I really don't wanna do this

@RedwolfPrograms Honestly, are you sure this company isn't a shell corporation for the Devil at this point? :P

Redwolf Programs

Okay I'm doing it

Wish me luck

Okay, everything's good and the call was only like...moderately awkward

They've been having issues recently with people submitting fake orders from gmail accounts so apparently they need to call people to verify they exist?

Idk, but it should ship now lol

My cat was meowing at my bedroom door the whole time and I was trying not to laugh as a result

Q: Largest SKI output in less than 200 combinators

The Challenge Create an expression in SKI Combinator Calculus in less than 200 combinators (S, K, I) that reduces to the expression with the most combinators. There will be no limit on how many parenthesis/applications can be used. Scoring The score will be the number of combinators in the output...

Who Is Kevin Bacon? code-golf graph-theory path-finding optimization You may know the game The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, based on the conjecture that every actor in Hollywood can be connected to Kevin Bacon by no more than 6 "co-star" relations, so Kevin Bacon is supposedly the "best-connected"...

@RedwolfPrograms you think that's bad? Imagine marking an issue as a false positive on a tool that does code analysis on your stuff and a real person replies saying why it wasn't a false positive
