Do y'all just ever online uni for a semester and then realise you've forgotten how to physical university?

Because I do be like that

@lyxal i haven't physically been to uni since the start of the pandemic. I think i'll graduate before i have to go back

lyxal

1:59 AM

y'know, for a uni with campus wide wifi, there are a surprising amount of personal hotspots being used

also, yes, I'm in physical lecture, so expect intermittent summarisations

it'll be just like last time I had lectures

@JoKing Are they charging you less because it's virtual?

Jo King

lol no

user

oof

The university I'm going to go to has been open in person since the start of this school (well, college) year. They even require that classes are held in person, and apparently there's only like one professor who streams and records his classes

CMQ: Dumbest thing (cybersecurity-wise) that you've done?

can input be taken by inserting it into the code? if so, how is the length of the code counted (before insertion or after insertion?)

emanresu A

@AidenChow Underload and /// do

Aiden Chow

@emanresuA so is it allowed? how is code length counted?

emanresu A

Not sure, you can have a look on meta

hyper-neutrino

it's only allowed because /// does not have a way to take input otherwise

inserting input into the code is generally not allowed

emanresu A

So for desmos, probably allowed if you can't use a function

(If that's why you were asking)

Aiden Chow

3:15 AM

ok so im trying to use functions in geogebra for input, but its really jank. i am not aware of any other way of taking in input other than inserting it into a variable

like when i try to use a function, the code doesnt work, but using just variables, it works

Aiden Chow

3:36 AM

wait nvm i figured out how to get input through an input box

^ is that allowed?

emanresu A

Probably

Bubbler

Yes, input box is OK (like JS's prompt)

Aiden Chow

ummm ok... this is a bit strange, but i cant seem to type a comma into the input box, but i can still put in commas into the input by editing the variable that is linked to the input box. is that fine?

heres the code for reference: geogebra.org/calculator/zfzbsmn4

.... and when i save it the comma disappears

wth

Bubbler

I'd just guess geogebra is very against general programming

Aiden Chow

so can i just post this answer as is?

Bubbler

3:46 AM

No, it can't take a string that contains commas

Aiden Chow

@Bubbler ok so this is a bit of a conundrum. an input can contain a comma if directly inserting the input into the code is allowed, but if i use an input box, it cant take input containing commas for some random reason

Bubbler

Yeah, that's really weird

In that case I'd just allow the input to be inserted directly into code

Aiden Chow

@Bubbler how is code length counted in this case? do i count it before the insertion or after the insertion?

emanresu A

presumably, you count the length with empty input

Bubbler

Before the insertion, yes

emanresu A

3:54 AM

And you'd probably count the length as what text you can paste into the codebox to get something that works, like desmos

Aiden Chow

im getting two conflicting answers here...

emanresu A

Wdym? I'm pretty sure we're saying the same thing

Aiden Chow

@emanresuA u are saying that i have to count the length of the shortest input, while bubbler is saying that i dont even need to count the input at all

in your case, i have to add "a" for 3 extra bytes

emanresu A

Hmm, okay. I agree with bubbler's one

Bubbler

Doesn't it allow an empty string?

I'd say you need to count "" delimiters, but not anything inside (so "" chars are part of your code, and the input will go between them)

Aiden Chow

4:00 AM

@Bubbler wth, im getting an error if i insert it directly, but no error through the input box

Bubbler

wat

Also, how would you represent the code in plaintext?

Does copy-pasting it into geogebra work?

Aiden Chow

Zip(Sum(Zip("0",b,1…5-floor(log(3,a))))+ToBase(a,3),a,TextToUnicode())

^ can i just post this as an answer and put something saying that input is through insertion?

Aiden Chow

4:14 AM

ok wutever i posted it

Bubbler

Really not sure what to do with this

emanresu A

That's what meta's for :)

Aiden Chow

@emanresuA so you are saying that i should ask on meta about this?

emanresu A

Probably

Aiden Chow

@emanresuA ive never written a post on meta before, how should i tag it?

emanresu A

4:27 AM

discussion?

Bubbler

You can tag yours the same as the one about desmos

Aiden Chow

im really bad at wording this, can someone else write up a meta post about this

Q: How should taking in string input be scored in GeoGebra?

I have recently started to use GeoGebra for some code golf challenges involving strings, and have come across a conundrum which I want to ask the meta about, which prompts the more general question of how GeoGebra should be scored in regards to taking in input. The problem I was attempting the ch...

ahh

hyper-neutrino

is it better to do e=>e.a or ({a})=>a (JS)

both in terms of style and performance

emanresu A

#1's probably faster

Destructuring requires some complex pattern matching

hyper-neutrino

ah. okay

What do you host your server on?

lol prime tester using neural networks

it works decently

Fatalize

@DLosc The general rule is that in Brachylog, "string related" things have a dot below, and "math/constraint" related things have a dot above

Holds for both predicates and variables

@PyGamer0 Oops, looks like I wasn't thinking. I literally just grabbed a random name from a webpage after searching up "TIO" and clicking on an abbreviation website. My brain doesn't work today

no why would I hack ATO? ATO is the best

Q: Output every sublist ... eventually

You will be given as input an infinite stream of positive integers. Your task is to write a program which outputs an infinite sequence of lists with two requirements: All lists in the output are finite sub-lists of the input stream. Every sub-list must be output eventually by your program. Sub-...
