@RubenVerg this is what i was planning to use for perhaps
if you compose two infinite choices it would traverse them along antidiagonals
about the only thing i actually implemented
but what about me and my imaginary friends
02:53
Get real
03:29
Apostrophe placement is important
"I was thinking I'll spend some time at my boyfriend's today"
"I was thinking I'll spend some time at my boyfriends' today"
that typo would have raised way too many distracting questions in a short horror story

Mfw the people who makes fridges could do nuclear power
It's TNB becoming real life
Lyxal, I think it's just your fridge that's made by the nuke company. We've been over this.
No but like that's a proposed nuclear power plant from Westinghouse
Westinghouse also makes fridges
They've seen TNB and want to replicate it
I've never seen Westinghouse make a fridge before, I think yours is the only one, that's what makes it special :p
Huh, TIL
I only knew them as the power plant company
04:37
That's funny because I only knew them as the white goods company
Wow they actually do a whole lot more than whitegoods and consumer electronics
Maybe Westinghouse here is built differently
Apparently the Westinghouse brand for Australia/Oceania is licensed to a company called Electrolux
So Westinghouse fridges are probably an Australian thing
Thought this said sussy little brat for a moment
Got confused why the times would use such a clue
(it's the daily mini crossword)

I got 37 seconds, smh
Different one tho?
Thursday 20th of June
That's the one I did

@lyxal IIRC General electric also makes the guns for the A10 warthog?
att

08:04
and TI makes missiles
TI does a lot of MIC stuff right?
I'm 90% sure they made the computer for the F-14
Reminds me of the time I turned my calculator into a missile in math class

Tell me why I watched a horror movie with my friends and came away wanting to repair my relationship with my parents
Like I think I took the wrong lesson guys

I think I heard from someone once that horror movies increase the desire to have meaningful relationships with people you can trust apparently

random challenge idea that I might sandbox: Interpret some turing-complete subset of all possible programs in your language
i.e. you could define a subset of your language which is equivalent to brainfuck and interpret that
(eval is banned for obvious reasons)
12:07
so, implement a bf/smallfuck/other TC but simple language, as a golf challenge?
that's fun
12:19
@Seggan spoilers: it wasnt "later today"
i actually updated it just now
well see how it goes

Q: Finding 10 float64s that give the least accurate sum

SimdInput Integer \$n > 1\$ Output Ten 64 bit floating point numbers between \$-n\$ and \$n\$, inclusive, whose sum is the least accurate. Details and examples. You should compute the sum by adding from the left in the standard way. That is something equivalent to: def summation(arr): s = 0.0 ...

fixed it :)

Job opportunity: If you are good at JS but want to work in the array world, consider applying for the JavaScript ToolSmith position at Dyalog.

cmq, i guess: what's the language with the in your opinion coolest character set?
Did anyone create a BF variant that uses the symbols πŸŽΏπŸ‚β›„β„πŸŒ¨β›·πŸ”β˜ƒ?
heh. i was thinking of squared cool
17:41
@AdΓ‘m Looks interesting but I’m not in Denmark (and don’t even have a passport) β€” would I even be able to apply, and if so what would the process be like?
@Bbrk24 you can always write to the stated email and explain.
hmm, finding more problems with the set language thing. how can I decide in finite time #{β„•, β„•}?
18:12
>>+[+].>>[+.<]-++.++++++++<[->+++<]
Decode the turning mechanism, for real.
18:46
@RubenVerg not a character set exactly but smalltalk has always stood out to me as having such an aesthetic syntax, especially in its use of colons. it looks so clean because it doesn't rely on the large characters like @#% to do the heavy lifting
and technically it has a "character set" because many dialects use the non-ASCII left-pointing arrow for assignment
19:01
obviously it's a matter of preference but I love characters like .:_;', because they blend smoothly with words without drawing attention to themselves. they're a good fit for languages with many word-sized keywords and variable/function names that aren't too long or capitalized because in something like @gobbledegookFactoryWorker.Machinery[ the punctuation can be easily drowned out
whereas with more space the words can speak for themselves and everything else blends in naturally, only there if you need them to understand the structure of the code
for example result.each -> itself max: acc

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

aeh5040Output the Steiner system S(5,8,24) Output 759 "rows", each of which consists of 8 distinct integers in the range 0,1,...,23, with the property that every set of 5 integers in the range 0,1,...,23 is contained in exactly one row. This is code-golf, so the shortest solution in each language wins. ...

Hi all
@Adám I posted the challenge! First one in a long time

@Wezl rare wezl sighting
been a while :p
I have more important things to do (lying) (not to be trusted) (technically true but do you think im actually doing them)
real
waow! pronoun buddies
waow!

I just added up how much credit card debt I have and I officially have a negative net worth now πŸ’€
(Not counting medical debt 'cause I'm not paying that lol)
CMQ, do all float64s correspond to non recurring numbers in base 10?
I believe so (ignoring infinity/NaN ofc), since they're all binary fractions
@RydwolfPrograms right but I am not sure of the math. 1/10 is after all recurring in base 2
All fractions of the form x/2^y are non-recurring in base 10
@Simd Which is why we get fun stuff like 0.1+0.2 != 0.3 :p
22:13
@cairdcoinheringaahing that's a good fact. Is there an easy proof?
@RydwolfPrograms :) yes!
@Simd I'd probably go about it via induction on 1/2^n, and use the fact that if 1/y is non-recurring, so is x/y for integers 1 <= x < y
@Simd You can multiply x/2^n by an integer power of ten and end up with an integer
That's cleaner
Namely, multiply it by 10^n
Thanks
(and that also gives you an upper bound of how many digits the decimal representation will have)
