quick question, in ascii art, are you allowed to return a list of strings for each line of text

user

@lyxal Why does this sound like a Shakespearean insult lol

Radvylf Programs

@AaroneousMiller Has to do with whether the for loop exits from a break

54 mins ago, by Unrelated String

it executes if the for wasn't broken out ot

@ophact would you like me to make the bottom row have the most crates possible? so theres only 1 unique way to solve it? (for "stack em'")

Bubbler

02:16

Bottom row would have the least number of crates. And making the stack highest already guarantees a unique solution.

If it has the most number of crates in the bottom row, then it's a single row of boxes.

DialFrost

oh

should i post tips for golfing in python 3.8?

or is the update not advanced enough for ppl to actualyl give diff tips

hyper-neutrino

i think specific 3.8 tips can just be posted to the old thread with a note that it's 3.8 features

since tips for python is not version bound

and there probably aren't all that many 3.8-only tips to be worth

emanresu A

03:07

@UnrelatedString TIL

DialFrost

wdym @hyper-neutrino

oh nvrm i get wat u mean

emanresu A

There's only a separate JS / ES6+ tips because ES6 was so revolutionary

Pretty much every answer since 2017 uses ES6 features in some way

DialFrost

ic

so we're only allowed to send in 1 tip per answeR?

emanresu A

Or several very related ones

Unrelated String

03:21

yeah it's not a feature that gets like
mentioned
much

pretty useful

hyper-neutrino

yeah it took me a while to learn about it

very useful though

pug (the html templating engine previously known as jade) has for..else run the else block if the for block was empty (though i don't think it has a break? maybe it does)

both seem logical

Radvylf Programs

I wish it used something other than else

Unrelated String

does kinda suck when you end up trying to use it to emulate a labeled break but arguably at that point you should just use a function

Radvylf Programs

else is really unclear about whether it's the break or no-break that's the "other" condition

hyper-neutrino

the way i remember how else works is just "if you're searching with a for loop, you break when you find it, so else means you didn't find it"

Unrelated String

03:29

^

hyper-neutrino

but that's just a mnemonic and it should be made clearer on its own

Unrelated String

not immediately intuitive

hyper-neutrino

my other way of remembering it is

break exits the entire chain of blocks, and the for..else are all one "block" i guess

Unrelated String

oh true

lyxal

04:01

else in a for or while loop can be seen as saying "perform conditional flow normally, else deal with the early termination"

Unrelated String

...is while ... else actually legal

that sounds fucking scuffed

since there's basically two different analogies you could make

lyxal

I used it in Vyxal the other day

So yes, while else is valid

Unrelated String

since while takes a condition like if, but is also a loop like for

you could just as easily expect the else to fire if the condition fails at any point during the loop without being broken out of as for it to fire only if the condition fails before the loop executes at all

lyxal

On a different note, I do not like ants

They are annoying and they need to leave me alone

Like I just want to sit on a bench at a public swimming pool in peace without being harassed by little ants haphazardly wondering around

They don't need to be a nuisance to me, yet they crawl on my legs and cause pain anyway

Ants stay away from the smell of other dead ants as a way of staying safe right?

Well hopefully they smell the carnage that's happened here and they stay the frick away from me.

hyper-neutrino

@lyxal no, they will find dead ants and bury them

although maybe not immediately

lyxal

04:11

@hyper-neutrino wait so killing them only makes things worse? Gosh dang it.

hyper-neutrino

@lyxal don't quote me on that I just remember that dead ants will give off pheromones which will cause ants to move them to the graveyard

and if you spray a living ant with the dead ant pheromone apparently it'll go to the graveyard and just pretend to be dead there until the smell wears off and it just goes back to being normal

lyxal

I thought the pheromones told other ants to stay away

Which is kinda what I was counting on

hyper-neutrino

idk. i could be wrong and you could be right. i ain't an ant ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lyxal

Grr I hate how laptop companies try to make the screens as bright as possible as a selling point

Because when you're on them in the middle of the night you're being blinded

Wheat Wizard

@pxeger Whoever voted retracted their vote.

hyper-neutrino

is it possible to change the delay on a setTimeout or would I have to reschedule it

Radvylf Programs

You'd have to reschedule it

hyper-neutrino

ah, rip. what I want to do is have a recurring event that gets its cooldown shortened by a bit every time a message is sent in that channel - is there a smarter way to do this than constantly resetting a timeout?

Radvylf Programs

You could replace it with a setInterval that checks a variable for when to run a function

It's not super elegant but it's not an issue for performance or anything like that

hyper-neutrino

15:52

oh, I see. yeah that could work since I don't need the timing to be super accurate

Radvylf Programs

setInterval gets down to like 4ms, and if you need less than that there's setImmediate, so for a chat related thing it should definitely be accurate enough

hyper-neutrino

wait but if I set an interval even if the interval timing is precise it'd still only be able to run every time the interval triggers

or do you mean i just set an interval to run at a 4ms cycle

Radvylf Programs

4ms cycle

Something like

var time_to_trigger = Date.now() + 10000; setInterval(() => (time_to_trigger < Date.now() ? (run_thing(), time_to_trigger = Infinity) : null), 0);

would probably work

hyper-neutrino

ah i see. and that wouldn't like cause any performance issues with the rest of the system? cool thanks
