The Nineteenth Byte

My goal was for it to be a single finished product

I don't like the idea of making an evolving language

@rydwolf bug fixes are inevitable :p

You underestimate my perfectionist tendencies

It it makes it to final release it's a feature

But it will not.

@Bbrk24 clear cache...?

(and maybe reinstall the script, I've made a few changes to it)

@lyxal Nobody objects to TI-BASIC answers using an implied native tokenized encoding for scoring without directly submitting the encoded bytes

@lyxal Or to Jelly having the pilcrow and newline map to the same byte

How does my sister get this fucking judgy about it every time I use basic over-the-counter painkillers?

I have a mysterious headache, after midnight, that I've been getting on and off all day and been putting off doing anything about? I should figure out why I have a headache and "solve what's actually causing the problem"

(which is, uh, given how cold I've been feeling in the mornings and the sore throat I'm just now getting, probably a seasonal virus of some sort which can't be "fixed" by doing anything other than wait it out and treat the symptoms for comfort)

And after it takes me like 20 seconds to realize she can't even guess why I think "I don't know why I have this headache" answers the questions she's giving me, she lets me off with "It's after midnight" but still corners me into saying I'll "be more thoughtful" next time under other cicumstances

Where the hell is this even coming from?

@Ginger how to clear cache on mobile?

not only are .golf sites expensive, none of the ones I want are available either

golfing.community is 30/y

somewhat considering it

I'd rather something with "together" than "community"

hm, togethergolf.ing for 10

not sure I like that

emanresu A

alternatively chuck it on a subdomain of your website until you figure out what you want

RubenVerg

yeah that's the plan

You know CHAT.addEventHandlerHook? For event 6, does it also send what other people have starred?

RubenVerg

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer can't host servers on github

and like I already have a website anyways, and planning to set up a permanent server

actually the thing might even work in deno deploy, I'd just need to not use local postgres like I do now

CMQ Choose 5 random points in a circle, probably that all these points fall in a half circle. The half circle need to be totally in circle but can be smaller, so all points near center is positive and result is larger than 5/16

@RubenVerg based deno

@RubenVerg communigol

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer GitHub pages only lets you host static sites, this website requires server functionality because it has user input/database storage etc

Technically, with a github action triggered by a webhook I think you could host a site like that on github pages...but you really shouldn't

Like you could make it so that user input is committed to the repo whenever you submit a form which tells a third party service to hit the GH action

but that's super cursed

Do you accept joke pronouns if they’re for a bot (inanimate user)?

Bbrk24

15:02

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer What kind of joke pronouns were you thinking?

The Empty String Photographer

@Bbrk24 botey/botem

Bbrk24

Doing that as a joke doesn't sit right with me, especially considering how there are similar neos that people actually use

(e.g. bo/bot/bots/bots/botself)

The Empty String Photographer

how about utilitie/utilitem

Bbrk24

I’m gonna defer back to the messages by Rydwolf a while ago. I find it unlikely you’ll come up with a set I will be okay with

Bbrk24

In order for a joke pronoun to work, it would really have to be something that works as a serious pronoun set, that you would use as a serious pronoun set, that also happens to be funny because of the context. I won’t say that’s impossible, but I’m not sure I can see a situation in which it would work. Otherwise you’re making a joke about the concept of pronouns, which is problematic for all the reasons Rydwolf outlined before.

Thank you Siri very cool

RubenVerg

@noodleperson the alternative is to add http server features to tinyapl and use that(:

it'd be horribly slow though

@Ginger now pronouns don't appear at all for me nor you

Unrelated String

I still se both of yours fine

RubenVerg

@Ginger (serious question) how about hijacking the pronouns thing to write, like, (pronouns: this is a bot) so that people with the extension have a quicker way to find out the user in in fact a bot?

Bbrk24

yeah pronouns are working fine for me

RubenVerg

18:48

@UnrelatedString i don't but only on mobile

Unrelated String

Ah

Bbrk24

Oh

I have an iPhone so I don't get userscripts at all on mobile

Unrelated String

Ginger

@RubenVerg this could be useful, but it would be easier for me to add a dedicated syntax for it

like if the user's bio starts with ⚙ they get a "bot" tag

might implement that later

RubenVerg

whatever it's a fun challenge anyways

Bbrk24

Hm, thought for a challenge (that doesn't seem to exist) that I want to gather a bit of feedback on before I even take it to the sandbox: graphical-output Draw the flag of Greenland

In high school, the online JS IDE we had came with a canvas that we could draw on with classes like Circle, Line, Rectangle etc. There were a bunch of increasingly difficult challenges and I completed all of them. At the end I admitted to the teacher that I still had no idea how to draw the flag of Greenland

RubenVerg

you know the real problem with Golf Together is that I can't come up with any challenge

Bbrk24

RubenVerg

18:58

maybe I'd have to convince people here to join and repost theirs

Bbrk24

I had no idea how to line up two semicircles like that. The only way I had needed to draw semicircles previously, I just drew a full circle and covered up the other half with a rectangle

RubenVerg

generate the two rectangle halves as booleans, under selecting the circle invert, multiply by the red color

Bbrk24

See, the Circle class took three parameters iirc: center, radius, and color. We couldn't do filters like that

Still, I'm asking whether this would be a good graphical-output challenge on this site without a language/framework restriction

RubenVerg

@Bbrk24 sorry, missed the message about the ide thing

I think it could be an interesting challenge

Unrelated String

@Bbrk24 Yeah, I feel like your best option would have to have been manually arranging single-pixel-tall rectangles as "scan lines" at that point

Bbrk24

19:08

iirc I considered making a bunch of triangles to approximate the circle as a many-sided polygon

RubenVerg

something like this

att

what are <¨ and |→

RubenVerg

each right and reduce

att

ah so you have reduces in both directions?

RubenVerg

yeah

though i'm considering moving them to / and \

since scan is done with On Prefixes/On Suffixes like in j

@emanresuA This answer of yours is completely broken for me

as I said in the post it's very system-specific, still works for me

It definitely used to be when I was writing it but I guess it isn't now

I could try downpatching firefox to check if it's that or if it was just my computer at the time, but I definitely remember it being quite unresponsive (subpixel sampling of fonts at least used to be extremely bad performance-wise)
