and i think it start... NOW!!!

Um...

NoHaxJustRadvylf

What are we learning (for great good)?

Nobody Needs Names

I believe it is F##

Does anyone want to start it?

emanresu A

That or Coconut

Nobody Needs Names

Ah, true

You know, what, I like Coconut. Let's do coconut

I totally didn't vote it up in the last second

emanresu A

It depends on availability. Neither @user or @DLosc are here right now.

Nobody Needs Names

12:11 AM

Oh, no

How about we do this

Whoever what to just teach us any language can do it

The first language sorted by upvotes that are both not learned and have their OP currently active is Jelly

But really, please put more into this post

CMQ: should we remove the "learned" entries of LYAL nominations? It's clutteering the page and usually those languages come at the top of the list which costs scrolling time.

lyxal

I'd be for that

It's hard to see how many nominations there actually are

Plus we do it with LoTM nominations

Nobody Needs Names

Who's gonna do it? Everyone vote to delete or some mod delete or they delete it themselves?

Aiden Chow

well ill be down for deleting my own lyal nomination

for desmos

lyxal

I've already deleted the vyxal lyal

Nobody Needs Names

ok. i dont think i have to do anything then

"I somewhat deliberately didn't include anything like "The highest voted answer will be used in the event", so that when the event happens we have more freedom to decide which language we'd like"

~~Ah, so let's learn Malbalge (isuckatspelling)~~

Steffan

12:32 AM

i'd say do coconut, but maybe just do nothing today if no one is interested

Nobody Needs Names

I'll start it

Aiden Chow

ye im down for coconut

found an interactive tutorial for it on their website: hmcfabfive.github.io/coconut-tutorial

Zion mycelia adamancy

@NobodyNeedsNames Yes

Aiden Chow

bruh what is pipe forward and backward, confused already

lyxal

Feels like I've seen something like that before

Adam

12:38 AM

Nobody Needs Names

print(sum(list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, range(10))))) that's terrible

Aiden Chow

@NobodyNeedsNames i mean its just an example

they trying to tell u about the advantages of the lang

Adam

It's not too complicated-- "pipe forward" just means "use this value as the input to the given function", AFAIK

Nobody Needs Names

print(sum([i for i in range(10) if i%2==0])) is quite better

Zion mycelia adamancy

@NobodyNeedsNames If you have a nomination that's been done as LYAL, delete them. Otherwise, if we decide to delete them, I'll just raise a flag on the question and ask a mod to delete the specific answers

Aiden Chow

12:39 AM

@Adam but what about pipe backward

like how do u know when to use what

Nobody Needs Names

@AidenChow that doesn't give an excuse

Adam

Uh, I assume the same thing but the operators are swapped

Nobody Needs Names

@Zionmyceliaadamancy I implied that I did not have nomination

Adam

I'm guessing they are interchangeable

Zion mycelia adamancy

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just covering all bases

Adam

12:40 AM

@NobodyNeedsNames Personally, I think that's a reasonable bit of Python code

Aiden Chow

@NobodyNeedsNames if u really want to complain about it, print(sum(i for i in range(10) if i%2==0)) works. or what about u scratch all of that cuz its still terrible and just do print(20) ?

Zion mycelia adamancy

@Adam It's Coconut

Adam

...No, it's Python?

Nobody Needs Names

@Adam sure, but for the most important thing don't list a filter if you are just going to sum it anyways

@Zionmyceliaadamancy it's a python sample code

Adam

@NobodyNeedsNames True

Zion mycelia adamancy

12:42 AM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Imagine your programming language not being the same in Python. *laughs in Jelly ŒV

Nobody Needs Names

~~:61802945 although I do it all the time~~

does it still support non-pipeline

Adam

@NobodyNeedsNames Yes

Nobody Needs Names

ok

> items = iter(["aluminum", "plastic", "plastic", "plastic", "plastic", "paper", "plastic", "aluminum", "aluminum", "paper", "plastic"])

this iter() is stupid

I didn't know this would work too: (print)("Number of aluminum items: " + str(numAluminum[0]))

Adam

In Python or in Coconut?

Nobody Needs Names

Python

and prob. coconut'

Steffan

12:56 AM

what's stupid about iter?

it converts a list to a generator

Adam

I think the issue they have isn't with iter, but with iter being used in this context

Because it makes the code more complicated without providing any benefits (that I can tell) in this case

Sandbox posts last active a week ago: Radiation Hardening Koth [king-of-the-hill] [radiation-hardening]

Steffan

1:42 AM

@Adam In Python actually, it wouldn't work to use iter because of numAluminum[0]. You can't unpack from a generator in Python

Adam

@Steffan The situation that's being referenced is hmcfabfive.github.io/coconut-tutorial/Patternmatch/…

Your cat likes the enter key :P

Your cat isn't very good. Mine can hit all sorts of keyboard shortcuts, get devstating combos, and has a natural gift for hitting the close window button on any touchscreen device with his nose

emanresu A

user

Anyone here tried a distro other than ubuntu in wsl?

NoHaxJustRadvylf

Wait, you can do that?

I should totally try that out I'm a huge Fedora simp

user

2:24 AM

Thinking about installing alpine (no real need to but i wanted to see the difference)

@NoHaxJustRadvylf yes but it’s slightly more complicated if it’s not in microsoft store afaik

@NoHaxJustRadvylf why huge fedoras? Why not small baseball caps or medium sombreros?

NoHaxJustRadvylf

@user As in like, performance?

user

yeah

and storage and memory

NoHaxJustRadvylf

IMO the storage and memory savings aren't really worth it for anything other than containers and VMs

user

Yeah but i was just interested

(Wsl2 is basically a vm anyway)

NoHaxJustRadvylf

Oh wait can you have multiple at once?

user

2:27 AM

Yup

NoHaxJustRadvylf

@user Well I mean more like, a VM where you know in advance what you're running

Since you'll probably need glibc anyway for something down the line, and you'll need to install plenty of non-busybox utilities anyway since they can be really annoyingly feature-lacking sometimes

user

Aww okay

NoHaxJustRadvylf

I mean, it's like megabytes, if you want to try it I'm not going to discourage you :p

user

Wsl’s been eating a lot of ram so i was hoping for something that has fewer system thingies running in the background

@NoHaxJustRadvylf true

NoHaxJustRadvylf

@user Yeah I feel your pain there. Crostini (which is basically an Ubuntu fork internally) leaves me with like 2 GB for Chrome OS

user

2:30 AM

Oof

I don’t think it’s that bad on my computer but it is noticeable sometimes

@NoHaxJustRadvylf how much ram total do you have?

NoHaxJustRadvylf

8 GB

Although I'm pretty sure not all of that is actually Crostini, and Chrome OS's diagnostics tool thinks that like, a soft "this is how much I'll probably need to don't use it all :3" is it's actual memory consumption or something

Seggan

3:16 AM

@AviFS i was actually considering putting it in lisp form

i am going to do it

ima make an xml based lisp

SXML

SXML is an alternative syntax for writing XML data (more precisely, XML Infosets) as S-expressions, to facilitate working with XML data in Lisp and Scheme. An associated suite of tools implements XPath, SAX and XSLT for SXML in Scheme and are available in the GNU Guile implementation of that language. Textual correspondence between SXML and XML for a sample XML snippet is shown below: Compared to other alternative representations for XML and its associated languages, SXML has the benefit of being directly parsable by existing Scheme implementations. The associated tools and documentation were...

lyxal

3:57 AM

@Seggan that just sounds like XSLT with extra steps

well actually with fewer steps

because your syntax looks way easier than XSLT

for example, XSLT fizzbuzz:

<x:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <!-- Define the XSL namespace to be "X" for brevity -->
    <x:output method="text" /> <!-- Textual output -->
    <x:template match="n"> <!-- Match the root tag n -->
        <x:for-each select="N"> <!-- For each N, which is a number in the range 1...100 -->
            <x:if test=".mod 3=0">Fizz</x:if> <!-- If N % 3 == 0, write "Fizz" -->
            <x:if test=".mod 5=0">Buzz</x:if> <!-- If N % 5 == 0, write "Buzz" -->

Way more complicated than your idea lol

5:00 AM

@Seggan Oh wow, come to think of it, I'm totally not surprised cuz I know they have HTML in Lisp for web frameworks.

But I always forget XML itself is actually a thing people care about.

@lyxal Now that just reminds me of Vue. The x-if and x-for. Better still, use Alpine.js. The king.

@NoHaxJustRadvylf Devastating combos. Sounds like Mortal Kombat or something, haha

I had a dream that I went to a hotel, and in the lobby was the server that TIO runs on. Next to it was a display case full of sliced gouda cheese with a sign saying "This is the TIO licence for Wolfram Mathematica, please take one"

That's what our cheese discussion yesterday did to me

so at least culinarily we are in fact vegetables

mousetail

Wouldn't we be meat in the culinary sense?

Unrelated String

it's a bad pun

graffe

@Bubbler :) it's s a great pun!

I am feeling good as I have added my first bounty in a long time (iirc)

Unrelated String

8:14 AM

my pun is bad

tomatoes is good

graffe

:)

I still want someone to do study on the effect of bounty size on the speed of new answer

@UnrelatedString currently eating tomato salad every day and wondering if I will turn into a tomato

I mean speed of getting a new answer

I am not convinced the size has any effect at all
