i just got the best (or the worst) idea for flax

Ginger Industries

tell us more

PyGamer0

in flax, 29 secs ago, by PyGamer0

So uh, Jelly is left to right. What if flax is right to left?

@UnrelatedString (cant ping you in the flax room) ^ thoughts?

Ginger Industries

in flax, 24 secs ago, by PyGamer0

so uh technically 1+√2 will be possible and it looks neat

well to implement it i can of course reverse the chain when i passed it to the evaluation

or do it after parsing

Ginger Industries

I notice that golflangs are much more popular than Etch. I wonder why...

PyGamer0

16:44

so flax is more or less APLish

@GingerIndustries ukraine?

mathcat

I wanted to see how many people read the bio of a chat profile, and here are the results:

7 people read my chat profile in 3 days

(oh + discord)

wait why is SE down but not chat?

sus

Ginger Industries

chat is pretty much bombproof

hell (seziure warning)

mathcat

17:58

wow

link?

hyper-neutrino

access denied

Ginger Industries

I know

Radvylf Programs

Ya boi's in Abilene right now lol

Ginger Industries

trying to figure out where to put that anonymously

Radvylf Programs

On the way to Colorado

Ginger Industries

because drive shows my full name

@RadvylfPrograms wat why

Radvylf Programs

18:22

Spring break

Ginger Industries

nice

mathcat

@RadvylfPrograms nice

I just had my Spring break last week

Ginger Industries

@lyxal nothing to see here

SegFaultPlus4

18:53

@GingerIndustries i can't access the file

you need to give me permission to let me access it

Ginger Industries

that's intentional

SegFaultPlus4

ok

i requested permission

Ginger Industries

don't bother

I intentionally removed that file because it revealed my full name

SegFaultPlus4

ok

then make a version without your name in

@UnrelatedString i'm voting to close your name as off-topic

mathcat

@GingerIndustries well your full name is Ginger Industries

6

Unrelated String

19:08

@PyGamer0 no real reason not to

mathcat

@UnrelatedString nice pfp

Unrelated String

thanks

SegFaultPlus4

@PyGamer0 y tho

what even would be the purpose

mathcat

estoric

and cool

ophact

@mathcat The No. 1 producer of Ginger in the world!

@GingerIndustries You should have named your language Ginger.

SegFaultPlus4

19:18

yes but flax could compete with jelly

but not if it's right to left

and i don't think you can knock APL off of #1 of the RTL langs

mathcat

@SegFaultPlus4 why not?

SegFaultPlus4

because APL

APL is too powerful

mathcat

CMQ: Can anyone here solve the Rubik's cube? (asking because of scientific reasons)

SegFaultPlus4

‮i can

Bgil Midol

no

SegFaultPlus4

19:21

oh yeah I got U+200F copied

‮so now i type like this ,isn't it cool

Bgil Midol

@SegFaultPlus4 translation: "so now i type like this, isn't it cool"

SegFaultPlus4

‮correct, you get a -100 rep bounty ,paid within 24 hours

Bgil Midol

writes a program to reverse a strifng

Warning: unprintable chars

mathcat

you can just copy and then delete the first char

Bgil Midol

correct, you get a -100 rep bounty ,paid within 24 hours

@mathcat easier said than done

SegFaultPlus4

19:27

@BgilMidol congratulations

what are you going to do with those extra -100 rep points

Bgil Midol

@SegFaultPlus4 tavugrzbf

(rot13, reverse)

SegFaultPlus4

ok

i will also do tavugrzbf with you when i give you those -100 rep points

question (from xkcd): should "a couple" always mean 2

i vote yes

Bgil Midol

@SegFaultPlus4 2-7

SegFaultPlus4

@BgilMidol incorrect

Bgil Midol

?

Wheat Wizard

19:37

delappy

SegFaultPlus4

@WheatWizard what even

btw is "a couple" always 2, or not always 2

personal opinion, a couple is always 2

a few is 3-4

a handful is 5-7, and several is 8-11

a dozen is 12

lots is 13-25, and many is 26+

there

i have resolved English itself

@AidenChow i have fixed all of English's ambiguties

how do i impose this on people

hi allxy

hi EManresu

have you seen

Aiden Chow

@mathcat regular 3 by 3 or any size cube

mathcat

19:52

3 by 3

emanresu A

@mathcat I can

mathcat

I just wanted to see if people who like to code also like puzzles

@emanresuA nice

record?

Aiden Chow

@mathcat in that case no

emanresu A

16s

mathcat

wth

mine's 21s

@emanresuA CFOP?

@AidenChow can you solve the 1 by 1?

Neil

19:56

@mathcat yes, eventually. I know two methods, one of which works on the void cube

mathcat

wait isn't it that donut cube?

with a hole

nice

Unrelated String

mathcat

no, a donut

Aiden Chow

@mathcat uh i think can solve 2by2, takes me forever though and i havent done it in a long time

1by1 might be a bit tricky for me XD

SegFaultPlus4

20:11

i could do a 1 by 1 in a minute

50 seconds maybe

40 is too low for me tho

@AidenChow oh by the way, i still haven't seen your -100 rep bounty go throught

Aiden Chow

@SegFaultPlus4 lol what does negative bounty even mean? does that mean im literally gaining rep???

SegFaultPlus4

@AidenChow no, i'm giving you a -100 rep bounty

Aiden Chow

@SegFaultPlus4 :thonk:

mathcat

@AidenChow I recommend J Perm's excellent 1 by 1 tutorial

emanresu A

20:17

@mathcat Yes

Not full though

mathcat

yeah

I still do 2-look PLL

SegFaultPlus4

@AidenChow yes, :thonk: indeed

i'll be expecting within 72 hours

att

20:38

@mathcat yes

mathcat

noice

att

though there's a chance I may have forgotten a little bit

mathcat

Surprisingly 1/3 of my class can solve the Rubik's cube

which doesn't match at all with the 5.8% rubiks.com says

emanresu A

That's across the general populattion. Do you really think boomers and toddlers are gonna try solve it?

mathcat

okay yeah

CMQ: Convert a number n to base b, do (1+digit)%b for every digit of the number, and then convert it to base 10.

but i've gtg \o

Neil

21:06

@mathcat heh, it's got some great comments

Aiden Chow

i think this works:
Desmos, 66 bytes
a=b^{[0...floor(log_b(n+0^n))]}
f(n,b)=total(mod(floor(n/a)+1,b)a)
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lg0s4or4cb

if dont need to deal with n=0, then it can be 60 bytes

emanresu A

21:31

CMQ: How do you run sed over a collection of files?

Ah yes, .pygamer0, my favourite filetype

emanresu A

21:58

Hm, stackoverflow's down

Seggan

22:11

Was here as a guest because I couldnt log in because of the maintenance, my screen suddenly flashed and im logged in 😂

emanresu A

It's back up again now

Seggan

i figured

lyxal

22:48

Nothing quite like waking up to SE in maintenance mode

I just want to check my global inbox for notification count and see if there's any rep change that's happened overnight but no, the sites offline

Thank you SE for interrupting my morning grind like this /s

@mathcat I used to be able to

Just like how I used to be good at chess and just like how I used to want to FGITW answers on Stack Overflow

Now I spend my life code golfing, having basically forgotten how to do any of those things well

Radvylf Programs

Ya boi's in Amarillo now

TFW after a whole day you still haven't made it out of the state you live in

Also apparently there is a town in Texas called 'Canadian'

lyxal

@RadvylfPrograms I'm sorry I'm having trouble taking this seriously because of a Texas Holdem game I once played called Governor of Poker. IIRC Amarillo was one of the earlier towns in the campaign and now I can't help but picture you being one of the NPCs/opponents in the game

Gambling has completely ruined my perception of Texas and I don't know what to do about that

Me committing to Git

Pretend this is that meme template with the metronome thingy going back and forth very fast

(for context, the top one is literally changing a 3 to a 0, the bottom one is rewriting the entire project in a different language with a bunch of other changes on top)

emanresu A

23:09

Python bytecode is cursed

Or at least, pyodide bytecode

user

ಠ_ಠ

lyxal

@user I placed it into the template for you

user

Thanks lol

emanresu A

@user Minor security vulnerability :)

Deobfuscated, import js;js.location.href = "https://youtube.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ"

And yes I stuffed up the shortener

lyxal

Does it redirect on desktop?

user

23:14

Yes

lyxal

Haha nerds

I have the power of mobile browsers not redirecting for some reason

user

A bug that really turned out to be a feature

emanresu A

@lyxal Your phone can run pyodide? That's impressive

gtg

user

@emanresuA Oh maybe Pyodide just crashed on Lyxal's phone then lol

lyxal

No, it's a duckduckgo thing

It redirects on chrome

Good to know DDG has my back

@user no, it prints the result but just doesn't redirect

@lyxal it keeps me safe from email trackers, app trackers and even rickroll attempts by EmanresuA

user

23:17

@emanresuA Here's a security vulnerability on DSO

lyxal

Wow can't believe you've done this

user

Absolutely brilliant trick amirite

Who would think that when you hit the run button it would do that

lyxal

An absolutely terrible surprise

user

Ye

lyxal

I had no idea that'd happen when I clicked run

There was no way of knowing it would happen

user

23:23

Are you not confused by the meaning of it?

lyxal

No

I know exactly what it means

And I can't believe you've done this

It's reignited my updog

user

@lyxal I know right, who would expect someone as mature as me to do that

@lyxal What's updog

Whoa, I've been on this site nearly 2 years

I feel...older

lyxal

@user nothing much, what's up with you?

user

@lyxal There's nothing up with me! HOw can you be so rude as to imply that I am not right? Huh?!!!

lyxal

˙ᓀ˙

user

23:27

@user Not in a "I feel wiser and smarter now" way, more of a "Damn my brain don't work the way it did no more" way

Also, I am even more of a stereotypical unfit socially awkward nerd now

Thank you, TNB, for making me the person I am today

lyxal

You're welcome

All in a day's (well actually, 2 year's) work

user

23:46

CMQ: Does anyone else feel like they're slowly moving away from CGCC?

lyxal

Every once in a few months I'll switch between enjoying answering questions / avoiding the meta game of esodesign and embracing the world of golfing language creation / not having a desire to actually golf at all

So in a kind of way, yes

But code golf as a whole? No

I've fallen too far into the sunk cost fallacy to leave, even if I wanted to
