Bubbler

Idk, you can google the error code and find out yourself

Unrelated String

i was trying to think of more reasons this is a bad idea for a stack lang but then i thought of the worst way to make it work
the grouping behavior is different for different modifiers; modifiers that prefer dyads don't group and modifiers that prefer monads do

lyxal

04:39

The only case I can think of that might prove as a hindrance is something like <literal><dyad><reduce>

But that can easily be fixed by making modifiers prefix

Unrelated String

hell, maybe monad-preferring modifiers could even just straight up force monads by munching however many operations until they net take one element off the stack

though there are... fewer modifiers that would want to force monads than ones that would want to force dyads
and i can't think of a good way to force dyads

lyxal

If the modifiers are prefix it isn't an issue, but postfix modifiers should only be an issue very rarely to the point where it could be best to just take an L and insert a buffer literal that doesn't change the result of a modifier

Unrelated String

also thinking of that made me consider adding a capability like that for perhaps
but that could require a bit of refactoring so may want to hold off until i'm actually at a stage where i'm considering the builtins :P

since it would require contextual adicity at operator-parse time and actually wait would that even be possible
it might mean i'd have to completely overhaul the "hole-filling" *again* so it actually happens *during* operator parsing

algorithm looks good, although it might be improved using a second "dictionary" of common english digraphs and trigraphs

and having a 7 bit character literal might not be the best because you're never gonna use the control bytes, so you might want to replace them with some meaning

(e.g., use it to represent formatting replacement strings?)

you could use a non-constant non-integer number of bits

Seggan

ye but then id have to invent a way to mark how many bits

which might take up more space than the constant 7 bits

non integer is even worse

pxeger

15:45

the only problem with non-integer is that encoding becomes a nightmare

instead of decoding to binary, and "reading x bits", you leave it as an integer, and divmod by 2^x

except then you can also divmod by non-powers-of-two, for example 96

Seggan

ooh like jelly

@pxeger but how

its just as hard as the bit thing, no?

pxeger

divide by 2 to get the first bit of metadata, then depending on its value, divide by either 96 (ASCII char) or 16384 (dictionary index)

Seggan

thats decoding

arguably its even easier

pxeger

oh, you mean how to encode?

Seggan

ye

you said encoding becomes a nightmare

pxeger

15:51

it's not really a nightmare, but is not trivial like bitwise encoding would be

keep track of two values, n and p. n starts out as 0, p starts as 1

to encode a value x between 0 and 95, add (x*p) to n, then multiply p by 96

possibly you need to add or subtract one, I can't remember

Q: Implament the slowest possible sorting algorithm that retains a fast best case

I have recently been on a quest to create really really slow sorting algorithms that make Bogosort seem like it is the best. The task is simple: Sort an array of integers in as long average time as possible, with the average Bachmann–Landau notation begin as high as possible, while keeping the be...

what is typing any good for :/ javascript programmber hjere,

user

It's better than block programming

@graffe Yes, python list is basically a vector (growable array like in many other langs) of pointers, so by appending a list you're appending a pointer to that list

@DLosc Sounds like a good golf challenge: "test if the quotes are correctly used in an English sentence"

@thejonymyster Makes you do a bunch of annoying stuff to prevent 10% of bugs (the same 10% you can fix in half a second)

Q: Divide by an odd number, 2-adically

Given \$a\$ and \$b\$, both \$n\$-bit integers, compute \$a/b\$ to a precision of \$n\$ bits in the 2-adic integers. That is, compute \$c\$ such that \$a = bc\, (\mathop{\rm mod} 2^n)\$. \$n\$ should be your language's native integer size, or if native integers are bigints, take it as a parameter...

Due to my cursed system, I've implemented pop as a dyad

caird coinheringaahing

"Pop element of x at index y"?

emanresu A

Pop from the stack

Because technically, it behaves like a dyad, popping two values and returning one

Bubbler

oh so it's like ⊣ in APL

then you can have ⊢ too

emanresu A

That would be popping the second item from the stack

Bubbler

exactly

emanresu A

But I have limited codespace page :P

caird coinheringaahing

⊢ would be akin to "remove the second element", yeah

@emanresuA Reuse the symbol for pop, and have it keep each element 50% of the time, at random :P
