If someone refuses to sign it, the mixer would just need to remove their old and new key from the list and have everyone else sign it again.
(Everyone needing to sign it is so that the mixer can't accept someone's old key but then replace their new one with a key the mixer controls)

Q: Find the weight of five apples

Alex R.Problem John bought 5 apples. You are given the weights of every group of four apples, and must then find the weights of the apples themselves. For example, if all apples without the first one weigh 798 g, without the second - 794 g, without the third - 813 g, without the fourth - 806 g, and with...

@AidenChow did you get it?
 
@BgilMidol no, not yet
i have a lot of top 100 words, didnt get the answer yet
@BgilMidol ok i gave up on it
gotta say, i mightve been able to get it if i thought about it a bit more lol
didnt want to spend that much time on it tho
those were my top 1000

@UnrelatedString yeah, i just wanted to share semantle.novalis.org/make to everyone, not everyone here checks that chat
 
fair enough
 
 
1 hour later…
3:34 AM
95/100 for fanatic, i can feel it
almost there
also will the sandbox be deleted when the staging ground is released
 
if staging ground works out we'll probably archive sandbox
though deleting could work just as well as closing for that given this is se lmao
 
Deleting it probably isn't a good idea - there'll be challenges in there that people may still want feedback upon, and we'll need to keep it open for a while
maybe adding a disclaimer that the sandbox wouldn't be actively checked anymore would be more appropriate
Maybe also make the sandbox protected so that new users are redirected to the staging area
Alright StackOverflow, I get it, I need to do my Computer Science assessment
no need to remind me to do it dumbnuts.

CMQ: Should I change my name to mns :p
shoot its taken on github
What if i append a random number to it
ok cool mns4 404s
 
4:37 AM
btw mns is my real name with all vowels excluded
bcs vwls mst b htd
actually because if i remove all consonants from my name it becomes aaa lol
 
@PyGamer0 you say that despite the fact that you used vowels in that sentence.
 
@lyxal wdym :p
@lyxal what do you think about changing my name
 
good idea but not the number part
although it could be an exception to the numbers != cool rule I seem to believe in
 
ok what about the number part (which is randomly chosen) only on github?
i think i should keep it everywhere since the number was randomly chosen by a fair dice roll :P
 
sure
 
4:43 AM
i will take that as a yes for the first one
 
for both
if you're going to have the number, be consistent
 
ok
^ how does that look (F12'd)
 
hmm not as good as I thought it would
 
i asked my brother to randomly smash the keyboard: hufh
 
totally unrelated, but

Works for me
I've almost beaten it but I can't find the fuses.

If that works I'll be amazed
CMQ: Would y'all mind going to canvas-1209.surge.sh on your phone and telling me what you see?
(Doesn't matter what kind of phone)
(try pressing some of the coloured buttons?)
 
@allxy if you don't have it from the start, and try to add things afterwards, it might break things
@allxy The first thing I got was an alert with some numbers in it
 
Ignore that, it's debugging
It's more that ios safari doesn't respect box-sizing:border-box (even with vendor prefixes)
 
what why??
 
9:06 AM
It appears not to at least
One moment, getting photos off my phone is pain
 
@allxy mine looks mostly like that, but there's about one button's width of horizontal scrolling
 
ಠ_ಠ
Are the buttons all the same width or is the selected one slightly wider?
 
all the same width
although they're all slightly wider than they are tall, not exactly square
 
9:12 AM
@pxeger Add that to my growing list of problems to fix. I'm starting to wonder if mobile support is worth the effort...
@pxeger What's the first number in the alert, and also what browser/os are you using?
 
also when I pinch to zoom in, it places a pixel in between my fingers
@allxy 34.5, Firefox 100.0b3 on Android
 
@pxeger Yeah touch support for the canvas is really janky. I've found something that may work...
Thanks for helping with this
@pxeger That makes sense with your display resolution
(34.5, the first number in the alert, is screen width / 12 or the expected button width, and they're 30 pixels tall)
 
Why not just make them constant height and width, and have some margin on the edge
 
I'll try that... probably won't fix the border problem though
Alternatively, I could yeet away the positioning CSS and use javascript

Q: Please simplify math for me by implementing super operation

talexI did lot of math recently and get tired of using those different operations like +, *, and pow. I want one operation to replace them all. What if I have one that can do everything? Can you please implement me operation op(n, x, y) that can do it all. For example: op(1, x, y) = x + y op(2, x, y) ...

 
9:18 AM
you could use an inset box shadow
box-shadow: 0 3px 0 red inset, 3px 0 0 red inset, 0 0 3px red inset, 0 0 0 3px red inset;
 
@NewPosts Damnit cast a vtc as needs details or clarity, dupe
@pxeger Box shadows are black magic to me, but I'll try that...
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing i reverted the change
its better to have separate builtins
 
Fixed width didn't fix the border problem, I'll try box shadow black magic now
 
so yeah fold and scan on monads
basically does what caird's fork does
 
@pxeger IT WORKS!
Thank you :)

hi all
 
hi @graffe
 
anyone here have any interest in algorithms?
I have a question :)
 
It's recommended to just ask - don't bothering "asking to ask" :P
 
m90
Yes
 
11:20 AM
we are listening
always listening
 
given a bipartite graph, I can compute a maximum matching using en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopcroft%E2%80%93Karp_algorithm
or just by calling a function in networkx or igraph
 
aaand it's over my head
 
but there will be a lot of maximum matchings typically. How can I find more than one?
@Ginger :(
 
@Ginger lel same
 
I am very square brain, sorry
 
11:21 AM
lel ?
 
lol but Radvylf hates it
 
lol but with an e instead of an o
 
laugh even louder?
 
@graffe Might be worth asking over in the math.SE rooms, or the CS.SE ones
 
There isn't a meaning to it
@graffe ^
 
11:23 AM
@lyxal there is now :)
 
m90
To find all maximum matchings:
First find one maximum matching.
Recursively: Check if any matchings with sufficient size exist at all. If so, pick one vertex, and try using every edge of that vertex, recursively checking the graph with that edge's two vertices removed.
 
lul: Laugh Uproariously Loudly
 
@Ginger loudly! Got to pay respect to the adverbs
 
._.
 
@m90 interesting... let me try to understand that
@m90 if you remove the two vertices then you may miss another matching. I mean let's say there is a perfect matching. If I remove two of the vertices I can't then find another perfect matching. Maybe just remove the edge in the matching?
 
m90
11:27 AM
@graffe Yes, then that particular recursive call will fail. That is normal.
 
@m90 let's say we have a bipartite graph with 4 vertices a, b, c, d. a is connected to c and d and b is connected to c and d.
the first matching gives me (a, c), (b, d)
I don't want to remove a and c because then I can't find the matching (a, d) (b, c)
similarly I don't want to remove b and d
 
@Ginger ಠ_ಠ
 
o no
 
m90
Then, say A is picked. It will do as follows:
Use AC, recursive call on {B,D} and find a matching BD, creating a full matching {AC,BD}.
Use AD, recursive call on {B,C} and find a matching BC, creating a full matching {AD,BC}.
 
btw I designed this bookmarklet: javascript:!function(){text="ಠ_ಠ";navigator.clipboard.writeText(text).then(function(){console.log('Yah');},function(err){console.error('Nah',err);});}();

sorry wot
 
@m90 oh I see... interesting
do you know that this is correct?
 
tfw your 3d print fails because you forgot to put glue on the bed

@graffe I'm pretty sure it is.

@m90 cool. I will have a think about it

ಠ_ಠ My uni's lecture notes are super well typed out, full on LaTeX etc. but they constantly reference earlier parts ("The proof follows from (7.3) from Theorem 7.8" etc.) but don't have the hyperrefs package, so you can't click the references to go back to refresh your memory, you have to scroll for years to go find them

Like, section 9.1 has this: "Or if we use the isomorphism \$T_{\mathcal B} : \mathbb C^n \to V\$, introduced in (7.4), we can rewrite this as ...". Like I remember some function introduced as an example 10 weeks ago ಠ_ಠ

@cairdcoinheringaahing a very good point!

Sounds good!
So Bristol uni it is :)
 
How did you know that? lol

I don't know any Anushs irl, but I'm awful with names :P
 
I self identify as a graffe

I can't find him in the Users list
In number theory, friendly numbers are two or more natural numbers with a common abundancy index, the ratio between the sum of divisors of a number and the number itself. Two numbers with the same "abundancy" form a friendly pair; n numbers with the same "abundancy" form a friendly n-tuple. Being mutually friendly is an equivalence relation, and thus induces a partition of the positive naturals into clubs (equivalence classes) of mutually "friendly numbers". A number that is not part of any friendly pair is called solitary. The "abundancy" index of n is the rational number σ(n) / n, in which σ...

Q: Join my exclusive friendly club!

caird coinheringaahingTwo or more positive integers are said to be "friendly" if they have the same "abundancy". The abundancy of an positive integer \$n\$ is defined as $$\frac {\sigma(n)} n,$$ where \$\sigma(n)\$ is the sum of \$n\$'s divsors. For example, the abundancy of \$30\$ is \$\frac {12} 5\$ as $$\frac {\sig...
