@emanresuA is that link a rickroll, because those are banned until monday to let their value increase

It'd be cool to have a new memes page that's up-to-date with Vyxal flags, Wyoming, Arnauld, Lyxal's fridge, Github Perks vs SE Nitro, etc

PyGamer0

@emanresuA this

Aiden Chow

@mathcat you can combine actions with commas, but yeah

ATaco

@emanresuA Mastermind with letters.

mathcat

09:36

@AidenChow but can you have a function, which sets some var to 1 and then executes another command?

Aiden Chow

@ATaco explain mastermind to an alien :P

@mathcat command as in actions?

mathcat

no, another function

ATaco

I am not good at concise definitions.

mathcat

@mathcat which returns a value

one sec

desmos.com/calculator/ypz7th8vjn

f(n) would return g(n)

Aiden Chow

@mathcat i dont think thats possible, because when you set a var to 1 with a function, you are automatically telling desmos that its going to be an action, not a number

mathcat

09:38

but before that, it sets a to 2

@AidenChow ah, ok

And can you stop the ticker with a function?

ATaco

@mathcat Doesn't seem to adjust A..?

desmos.com/calculator/ypz7th8vjn

mathcat

yeah

not working

PyGamer0

ok time to finish my computer project

ATaco

I love using Desmos when Programming, especially when I just want to check how a function looks.

SegFaultPlus4

type a word, containing 5 letters (letters are glyphs that can be joined to form a word, which can convey meaning).
For every letter in the correct position, the background around it goes green (i.e. if the word was HELPS and HELLO was your attempt to guess the word, then H and L would be green).
For every letter not in the correct position but still in the word, it would be yellow (for example, trying to guess ARISEN when the word is ESCAPE will make the A, S and E yellow).
For all others, it turns gray.

ATaco

Adám

CMQ: Should /s|k/i match ſ and K?

pxeger

yes

Aiden Chow

@mathcat not that im aware of, though based on what you want to do, you can use piecewise expressions to essentially stop code execution

pxeger

because "ſ".casefold() == "s"

Aiden Chow

09:52

something like this, which increments a until it reaches 5: desmos.com/calculator/y1fmfqgn0a

Adám

@pxeger That is indeed the behaviour of Dyalog APL but why does regex101 disagree?

SegFaultPlus4

type a word, containing 5 letters (letters are glyphs that can be joined to form a word, which can convey meaning).
For every letter in the correct position, the background around it goes green (i.e. if the word was HELPS and HELLO was your attempt to guess the word, then H and L would be green).
For every letter not in the correct position but still in the word, it would be yellow (for example, trying to guess ARISEN when the word is ESCAPE will make the A, S and E yellow).
For all others, it turns gray.

ATaco

What version of Regex does Dyalog APL use?

SegFaultPlus4

someone delete the other one i can't anymore

pxeger

@Adám because PCRE doesn't do case folding, I guess?

compare /ss/.match("ß")

Adám

09:55

@ATaco Currently newest PCRE, but we're planning on switching to PCRE2.

ATaco

Using Regex on Non-Ascii characters is probably a gamble on the best of days anyway

PyGamer0

Adám

@ATaco Same result, even if we enable UCP.

mathcat

@AidenChow thanks, piecewise expressions are working

ATaco

@PyGamer0 Hmmmmmstve.

pxeger

09:56

@pxeger actually, nor does Python (which does match s and ſ)

dzaima

@Adám checking the unicode flag makes it match

pxeger

so it must be a Unicode normalisation issue

ATaco

@PyGamer0 Actually, this is true of a sufficiently large Triangle on a sphere.

Adám

@dzaima Aha, thanks! Dyalog always has the unicode flag on.

PyGamer0

@ATaco yeah spherical geometry lol

import java.util.*;
class Q3 {
    void which_triangle() {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter 3 angles of a triangle.");
        int x, y, z;       /* x, y, z: stores the 3 angles of the triangle */
        x = sc.nextInt();
        y = sc.nextInt();
        z = sc.nextInt();
        if (x + y + z == 180 & x > 0 & y > 0 & z > 0) {
            System.out.println("Triangle is possible.");
            if (x > 0 & x < 90 & y > 0 & y < 90 & z > 0 & z < 90)

Adám

09:59

CMQ: Should /[\x00-\x7f]/igu match ſ and K?

ATaco

These are those edge cases I hope someone else had considered.

dzaima

case insensitivity is a slippery slope

Adám

CMQ: Should /[[:ascii:]]/igu match ſ and K?

ATaco

Should ™ match tm?

Adám

CMQ: Should [[:ascii:]] be equivalent to [\x00-\x7f]?

Per pcre.org:

> ascii character codes 0 - 127

pxeger

10:04

@Adám PCRE seems to say yes

Adám

Indeed.

pxeger

@Adám PCRE says no

Adám

Odd?

Very.

@ophact I made it late last year

SegFaultPlus4

@pxeger if ß is just capital ss, then it should match ss

oops wrong message

Adám

@SegFaultPlus4 ß isn't capital ss, it is a (lowercase) ss ligature.

ẞ is the (uppercase) SS ligature.

mathcat

what, there is a capital eszett?

why?

SegFaultPlus4

@Adám it's still just ss but fancy

SegFaultPlus4

@mathcat i am have smart

Adám

10:42

@SegFaultPlus4 Depends. Sometimes, the two are not interchangeable, but rather convey meaning: Paßende (expiration of a pass) and passende (appropriate).

mathcat

do you write pass with ß?

Isn't it Pass-Ende

SegFaultPlus4

i tried doing (2**(2**20)) in python and now i think my PC is burning

@RadvylfPrograms can JavaScript print (2**(2**14))

because Python can print (2**(2**20)) while only taking 5 seconds on replit

Adám

@mathcat No, German glues words together, without dash.

mathcat

and then the double-s becomes ß? nice

I am not sure how to implement classes in Etch

ophact

Just don't

It's a golfing language, right?

Ginger Industries

nope

Etch is a general-purpose lang

ophact

okay, then.

You can implement them as functions that return something similar to JS objects

Ginger Industries

13:43

My current method is to make a Class class that extends the Context class

ophact

And by the way, make sure you tell your parser very clearly what you want to accomplish, so it doesn't make the same mistakes it made before.

@GingerIndustries Class class?

Ginger Industries

because classes are pretty much contexts with some extra stuff

ophact

What's the Context class?

Ginger Industries

@ophact a class that handles things like local and global variables

ophact

Oh

Q: Draw an ASCII pencil

Task is pretty simple. Your program should take a number N from 1 to 20 and draw the following ASCII art. When N=1: _____ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_|_| \ / \-/ v When N=2: _______ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |...

code-golf ascii-art

pxeger

@RadvylfPrograms neither ATO nor TIO trust the compiler

@RadvylfPrograms it is exactly like that for ATO

ATO uses containers, just much more lightweight and closer to the raw Linux API than all the Docker abstractions you might be used to

TIO uses containers, but only a mount namespace

so not really fully isolated

it uses Linux Security Modules (specifically via SELinux) for most of the sandboxing

Radvylf Programs

16:00

@pxeger Yeah, I realized that but it was too late to edit

@pxeger This kinda makes it sound like the abstractions are to make things easier for me, rather than the people who need a way to add languages without needing to know how the sandboxing works in any amount of detail

pxeger

hmm, yeah

Radvylf Programs

OCI containers are perfect for that, since it's a nice and standardized format, and there's tools like Docker that make them easy to work with

pxeger

Do you know what exactly the incompatibility with (e.g.) the Haskell Docker image is?

Radvylf Programs

No, but since gVisor only implements 260 out of 348 syscalls, it could be (thinks for a second) 88 different things, even assuming all of the syscalls are perfectly accurately implemented

pxeger

ah

does strace help?

or maybe gVisor doesn't implement the syscalls needed for strace, which would be ironic and annoying

Radvylf Programs

16:10

Haven't tried

Even the official Java image has issues, which you can see when you run anything in Java on RTO (find_vma failed or something like that)

The only real alternative to gVisor I can find is Nabla, which:

> Our initial experiments show that this Linux VM is capable of running multiple unmodified binaries from Alpine (like python, nginx, redis), and can boot in 6 milliseconds (to our knowledge, this is the fastest); albeit with some limitations: PIE executables only, and no forks (processes are emulated using vforks).

"Multiple unmodified binaries" isn't particularly confidence inspiring :p

pxeger

> PIE executables only, and no forks

Radvylf Programs

yeah

pxeger

"some" limitations is a bit of an understatement

(good luck using shell scripts without forks!)
