ah i forgot which plug detects indentation and sets tabstop and shiftwidth to that

^ this plugin is the best

the notify plugin

user

@Razetime ye

pxeger

@user yeah, VS code is surprisingly snappy given it's an electron app

user

I will admit that it’s gotten a little slower since I installed a bajillion plugins, but it’s still barely noticeable (and not even close to, say, Atom)

pxeger

you think Atom's slow? Try IntelliJ lol

user

Yeah but Intellij is an ide

pxeger

07:13

VS code is so much faster even when configured as an IDE

user

And it’s not really laggy, unlike Atom (although it eats into ram)

@pxeger True

hyper-neutrino

is atom rly that laggy lol

user

There are some features from IntelliJ that I miss in vscode but they’re not too necessary and/or wouldn’t take from performance too much if added

hyper-neutrino

i don't really notice issues with it, have i just never tried a good editor before

user

@hyper-neutrino It is to me idk

@hyper-neutrino That’s possible

Razetime

07:16

intellij is just much fatter in general

user

I mean you may never have tried a fast editor (bit atom seems to be a good editor otherwise)

pxeger

yeah I don't think Atom's that slow, although I've never really used it for a long time

PyGamer0

intellij eats up memory

Razetime

atom is cool but github is microsoft now and vscode is the same thing

user

Yeah

PyGamer0

07:17

and IntelliJ is not an ide for J as the name suggests :/

pxeger

the other big advantage to using Vim is that it runs in the terminal so I don't have to context-switch as much when I'm using it

user

Protip: don’t repeat my mistake and run three jetbrains ides at once

Razetime

you don't need IDEs for array languages

user

@pxeger and you can use it over ssh too right

pxeger

yeah that's true

VS code can work over SSH as well though

PyGamer0

07:18

@Razetime cause they are intuitive?

user

I’m kinda looking forward to Fleet which will supposedly be able go between editor and ide. Won’t be ready for a long time though:(

Razetime

oh yeah jetbrains

@PyGamer0 no, because they have barely any code and little to analyze

user

@Razetime i mean you don’t truly need ides for anything, editors with some linting+find declaration are enough

PyGamer0

fleet looks like VSCode on first glance

Razetime

honestly the only thing i'd recommend IDEs for is Java and C++

Java because its package management and build systems are bees

user

07:21

The bee’s knee’s you mean

pxeger

the solution to that problem is to just not use java

not to use an IDE

user

Gradle is great

@pxeger that’s not an option for many

Vscode has decent java support

Razetime

gradle decides that it wants to do its job after 30 seconds

pxeger

@WheatWizard can I use a language that encodes programs as single integers and just score using log256(program)?

user

Yeah it’s slow to start but once the daemon’s started it’s okay

Also that doesn’t require an ide

pxeger

07:24

if your package manager requires a daemon running to be usable, it's pretty badly designed

user

All ypu need for java is autocomplete +macros to write that awful boilerplate for you

@pxeger it’s not really a package manager lol (which is probably bad)

PyGamer0

@user and a debugger?

user

Idk how you save jars to maven local without running wn annoying terminal command

lyxal

@pxeger that just sounds like stax/any other source compression language except maybe a few byte savings

@pxeger might it work to do lambda x:"0".join(x).join(x)?

pxeger

@xnor how would you recover the length of the input list in that case?

xnor

09:43

I don't know, but I don't know how to find a collision either

pxeger

well [1, 11] gives the same output as [1101111] (both give [1101111])

it works if I include the length of the list as a second element in the encoding

xnor

ah right anything that maps singletons to themselves is doomed

I swear birds have gotten away with corrupting the justice system - they get away with things like property damage, aggravated assault, theft, jaywalking and being a public nuisance yet they never get arrested nor do they get sentenced/fined in court.

just another reason birds don't make me happy.

but really though you'll be driving along a road and birds will just be standing there dangerously just standing there

if a human did that, they'd be yelled at and in some places fined

but the birds just get away with it

and then there's all the times birds poop on things like cars, statues, benches, all that sort of stuff

if a human ever did that, it'd be on the front page of the daily mail

(admittedly, 99% of the stuff on there is nonsense/tabloid stuff)

but when a bird does it, people just say "birds do be like that"

wizzwizz4

You're not allowed to shoot humans, but I hear a lot about pigeon shooting.

Birds don't have it all good.

lyxal

I'm talking about suburban birds

like the ones in the city and at the beach

and of course, they never pay taxes

who knows what else they do?

heck, some of them probably run international drug empires right under the noses of everyone.

wizzwizz4

I think this is unlikely.

So will you if you know what's good for you.

ok is blockchain based on a doubly linked list?

wizzwizz4

@PyGamer0 No, singly-linked.

It can't be doubly-linked unless you have a time machine.

pxeger

> is blockchain based

no, it is a buzzword

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger No, all my homies use physical cash, blockchain is cringe

wizzwizz4

If you want a “blockchain”, just use Git. It's better at pretty much everything blockchains can do.

2

And you have support for merging, too!

PyGamer0

ok so whats the difference between a blockchain and a singly linked list?

pxeger

13:23

I wonder if there's a simple P2P protocol you could glue git to to get a nearly fully functional blockchain

PyGamer0

does it use hashes instead of pointer to the next node?

pxeger

@PyGamer0 blockchains are supposed to be cryptographically verifiable

blockchains are generally distributed, so they use hashes instead of pointers

PyGamer0

what its that simple?

wizzwizz4

“Blockchain” is barely an invention.

pxeger

well the definition of blockchain itself is pretty simple

merely blockchain a functional cryptocurrency does not make

wizzwizz4

13:25

The cool part of Bitcoin is the thing about a coin melting pot, not the cycle-burning double-SHA2 thing.

PyGamer0

and i thought blockchain means a chain of lego bricks :P

wizzwizz4

That's a blockstack. Very different thing.

I suppose you could make a chain out of Technic pieces, but those aren't blocks.

PyGamer0

@wizzwizz4 you can attach blocks to those technic pieces

wizzwizz4

I'm convinced.

All hail (LEGO®-brand) Blockchain!

pxeger

@wizzwizz4 shouldn't it be a blockdequeue, since you can easily push and pop blocks onto/from both ends?

wizzwizz4

13:30

@pxeger One of the ends is attached to one of those massive boards.

PyGamer0

we are discussing about Lego Data Structures lol

how would a Lego binary tree look like?

wizzwizz4

14:27

I assume it would be implemented on a Lego Turing machine.

Redwolf Programs

Organizing is hard okay

@pxeger Wait people still use vim as anything other than the-editor-that's-always-there-when-you-re-in-a-terminal?

Why would vim keybinds ever be a good thing?

Other than the :Sex thing

PyGamer0

@RedwolfPrograms fast

Redwolf Programs

Wdym fast? It's a text editor

pxeger

@RedwolfPrograms are you trying to stir a flame war?

PyGamer0

@RedwolfPrograms thats fast

Redwolf Programs

14:33

I mean, vim keybinds are just like a mouse but before mice were a thing, right?

pxeger

@RedwolfPrograms working in it is fast because you never move your hand off the keyboard

PyGamer0

editing is more quicker than using mouse+keyboard

Redwolf Programs

Ohh, fast as in fast to use

PyGamer0

and its fast

pxeger

I mean, it's very lightweight so it is also much faster than most other editors

PyGamer0

14:34

i use neovim btw

pxeger

although most other editors are still acceptably fast for most people

Redwolf Programs

I've never had issues with performance of text editors, even on my chromebook

PyGamer0

@RedwolfPrograms o_o

pxeger

well text editors, sure

Redwolf Programs

All it does is...edit text

pxeger

14:35

but anything approaching an IDE is slower

especially startup time which is what really matters to me

Redwolf Programs

Hmm, possibly. But that's comparing oranges to grapefruits :p

wizzwizz4

What is “text”?

PyGamer0

8 hours ago, by PyGamer0

pxeger

@RedwolfPrograms you can set your vim up to be more like a grapefruit if you want, and it'll still probably be faster to start up

@wizzwizz4 Hey, Vsauce, Michael here

Redwolf Programs

But with normal text editors you don't have to start it up for every file you open

So startup time's not nearly as important

pxeger

14:37

but if you're working in the terminal the whole time (which you should be) then you have to context-switch

wizzwizz4

@pxeger It was a serious question, but do you think we could get him to do a video on it?

Redwolf Programs

> which you should be

Why should I be?

90% of what I do is just more time consuming in a terminal

pxeger

because it's more efficient

you just need to learn how to do it and then it won't be as time consuming

honestly I think the command-line has so far been really poorly taught

Redwolf Programs

I can write code more efficiently in a proper text editor, and doing web development in a terminal sounds borderline idiotic

pxeger

well apart from a web browser obviously

Redwolf Programs

14:38

Well I mean...all I usually do is JS stuff, almost always with the browser in mind

pxeger

but the only two applications I basically ever have open are a terminal and a web browser

Redwolf Programs

Alt alt-1'ing between the terminal and text editor is hardly content switching

If I'm writing code in Text and running it in Node in the terminal, how's that any different from ctrl+tabbing to vim?

pxeger

I find it distracting enough to not want to use a text editor other than vim

It's kinda a good question as to why

Redwolf Programs

Like...what exactly are you even using the terminal to do? Other than running the code you write, and if you're using vim, writing it

pxeger

well those two things are the most important things I do

but also all my file manipulation, and using git...

@pxeger Well it doesn't help that all I want to use is the bit in the red box

I want to be able to do the rest of it separately, myself

> Write programs to do one thing, and do that well

- the Unix philosophy

Redwolf Programs

14:44

The text editor I use basically just is the red box, maybe you need to try Text :p

pxeger

well I mainly do use neovim, which is also just the red box

Redwolf Programs

@RedwolfPrograms I honestly wish it had the project view thingy on the left like Atom does, since Chrome OS doesn't really have a terminal (so you have to use the linux one, and mount the Chrome OS filesystem), and its file manager is awful

Q: Scan a ragged list

hgl has a "scan" function called sc. What it does in general is a little bit abstract, so we will just talk about one specific way you can use it. If we want to take a list of integers and get the partial sums of every prefix we can scan with + for sums and 0 as a starting value: ghci> sc (+) 0 ...

@pxeger is your nvim config written in vim script or lua

pxeger

14:51

my config is pretty minimal, so just vim script

Redwolf Programs

Y'know that life size cardboard cut-out of bear? It's been four feet from me this whole time and I only just realized

PyGamer0

@RedwolfPrograms actually you have multiple tabs and buffers in vim

pxeger

I don't like vim's implementation of that, and it violates the unix philosophy again though

Redwolf Programs

Yeah but any text editor where opening multiple files at once is so hard people just pretend it doesn't exist obviously isn't very good

pxeger

tmux is the program which does tabs and buffers, and it does it well

PyGamer0

14:52

@pxeger ok, i have my config in lua, since its supposed to be faster

@RedwolfPrograms i use plugins

pxeger

@PyGamer0 github.com/pxeger/dotfiles/tree/master/init.vim

Does it really matter if your config file is faster? Iit only loads once right?

@RedwolfPrograms True, not much oint debating now

@RedwolfPrograms every time you start it up?

Redwolf Programs

Yep. At some point I'll care enough to actually edit the extension source, but eh

user

@RedwolfPrograms I thought you were joking at first but I remember you talking about this lol

Redwolf Programs

I do it while my terminal loads, so it's not too bad

(Since the Chrome OS terminal takes around a minute to boot up the first time you open it, because it needs to start up containers and stuff)

PyGamer0

15:12

i made like 3 themes for (n)vim and 3 plugins for vim

wizzwizz4

@RedwolfPrograms Why would anyone subject themselves to this? (Is there a benefit?)

Redwolf Programs

The Chrome OS terminal is actually a terminal for a Linux VM

user

Redwolf is a masochist, obviously

Redwolf Programs

For security reasons you don't have access to any Chrome OS files aside from your home folder

pxeger

"security reasons"

it's my own damn hardware

Wheat Wizard

15:16

"security reasons"

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger It's quite nice actually

No matter how much I mess stuff up, it won't affect Chrome OS itself, which is basically just the browser and the login page

And Chrome OS does all sorts of weird nonstandard stuff on top of Linux, so a terminal on Chrome OS itself likely wouldn't work very well

PyGamer0

@pxeger heres mine

Redwolf Programs

It's also for performance reasons, they can optimize a lot of stuff if anything they don't write will never run on it

pxeger

I don't care if I shouldn't, I still ought to be able to

PyGamer0

note that i did it on termux

Redwolf Programs

15:20

Then jailbreak the chromebook? But why do that, all you do is lose useful things

There's literally no reason I should need access to Chrome OS's internals

pxeger

other than so that if (when) Google decides I can't use my hardware any more, I can do that

Wheat Wizard

Where do you install packages?

Redwolf Programs

The Linux container

pxeger

Chrome app store, I guess

Wheat Wizard

So you install them in your home directory or something?

Redwolf Programs

15:22

Chrome OS is basically just Chrome with a login page.

@WheatWizard No, in the linux container, which contains a full linux install

Isolated from the actual linux install Chrome OS runs on for performance and security reasons

Wheat Wizard

"security reasons"

Redwolf Programs

Why the quotes?

PyGamer0

"why not?"

Redwolf Programs

It's pretty hard to compromise a machine that can't run user code except in a secure sandbox

I'm actually a huge fan of how Chrome OS does the linux stuff

Because I'm exactly the kind of idiot who'd completely brick everything, and if I do that in Chrome OS, all I lose is the linux VM

Wheat Wizard

Because that's the line companies use when they have made their systems impossible to be repaired or modified by anyone but themselves for the purposes of planned obsolescence.

Redwolf Programs

Wheat Wizard

Chromebooks definitely are.

pxeger

15:25

@RedwolfPrograms if it were truly open, you would always be able to unbrick it

when's the last time you bricked an x86 PC? Never, because it's a much more open platform

Wheat Wizard

They are tied so heavily down to the google eco-system, because it's profitable for google.

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger Sure, but it's a lot more convenient for me if I always, at minimum, have Chrome OS and a text editor

And everything that a regular old x86 PC has, I still have

@WheatWizard Sure. But it's also convenient for me.

We both profit.

Wheat Wizard

In the long run noone profits here.

It's convenient only because the tech companies have removed viable alternatives so that they could sell this convenience.

Redwolf Programs

"Removed viable alternatives"...what?

I have a linux laptop at home

user

It's fine for people who choose to buy Chromebooks. If they want, they can always use Windows or Linux or something

Redwolf Programs

15:29

I just don't bring it to school, because it's not worth losing when I can do everything I need on a $200 piece of plastic owned by google

user

It's not as if anyone's forcing you to use a crappy Chromebook

Wheat Wizard

There is basically no modern laptop which can be run 100% open source.

Redwolf Programs

A surprising amount of Chrome OS is open source

Wheat Wizard

We could easily have reasonably cheap lightweight computers without having to give up our rights to google.

Redwolf Programs

We sure could

Wheat Wizard

15:31

Chromebooks may be convenient, I am not denying that. I am saying there is no reason this convenience should require google to engage in anti-consumer practices.

Redwolf Programs

But Chromebooks are the best option, and I'm not going to ruin another $1k laptop by trying to be the hero here

pxeger

@WheatWizard well, there is a reason: profit

Wheat Wizard

@RedwolfPrograms You seem to be framing this as if it were some moral debate over whether one should buy a chromebook when it's really not. As I said there are no alternatives, you have no choice to even make here.

Redwolf Programs

But even if there were other options, I'd likely still buy a chromebook

Chrome runs a lot faster on what's basically an operating system optimized for running Chrome and that only

And when the majority of what I do is on a browser, I'm 100% fine with giving google some data or whatever in exchange for my time and happiness

Privacy's cool, but just like everything else, it's not free. And Chromebooks are a compromise I'm willing to accept.

@pxeger Oh, that's easier than I thought

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger Wait so if screen uses Ctrl+A and tmux uses Ctrl+B, you could probably run vim with multiple buffers in tmux in screen...

pxeger

you can change Ctrl+B to whatever you like in tmux btw

I use Ctrl+Space

Redwolf Programs

Can you customize it per-instance?

If so, you could probably nest like 60 tmux instances with vims, for MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY™

I think you could set it temporarily yeah

e.g. Ctrl+B :set -g prefix C-a

here's my tmux.conf: github.com/pxeger/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux.conf

@lyxal Didn't your country declare war on birds that one time?

Redwolf Programs

If you put two vim buffers in every one of those 60 nested tmux instances, with two monitors and four terminal windows each, you could have 2 ** 64 files open in vim, with a maximum of five keystrokes to get to any one of them

pxeger

you'd need... very high resolution displays though

Redwolf Programs

Four if you rearrange it into three monitors with three windows each

@pxeger Not really, 960×540 isn't too bad

pxeger

(because each vim buffer would need to be at least 1x1 character, which would need to be at least something like 8x4 pixels)

Redwolf Programs

And you could always just use 4k TVs instead of monitors

pxeger

oh I see what you mean now

Redwolf Programs

You'd only ever have two buffers in every vim instance

If your terminal supports multiple tabs and ctrl+x to go to the xth one, then three keystrokes

And only one monitor

Actually, eight terminal windows and super+x is better

pxeger

@RedwolfPrograms how are you planning to move between windows in the tmux instances? Wouldn't you need a keystroke per nesting level

Redwolf Programs

Oh yeah :(

Q: Incrementally Increment Identical Integers

Inspired by this Stack Overflow post. Given an ascending-sorted array of possibly duplicated integers, your goal is to increment each number by a counter, starting at 0, that resets for each group. Spec: Any numbers may be negative (but if so, they'll be at the beginning, because the array is so...

code-golf array

Well, 2**64 files open at once should be enough, and all it takes is 61 keystrokes to get to any one of them (at most)

pxeger

that could be optimised to like log104(2**64)≈10 keystrokes (assuming a 104-key keyboard)

or if you allow modifiers separately, then log_{100*2**4}(2**64)≈6

Or if you have 104 fingers and 104-key rollover can use 103 keys as modifiers, then log_{2**104}(2**64) < 1 keystrokes

@pxeger BRB, stealing 19 arms

@lyxal...

Any feedback?

@pxeger Huh--my work laptop has a 105-key keyboard, and my personal laptop has 82. The keyboard I use for my desktop does have 104.

What if...keyboard but all locks instead of keys
