Is search this incompetent or do we not have a vanilla “reverse a string” challenge

emanresu A

we have a terrible "reverse array" challenge

-19

Q: Reverse a 1-dimensional array

Note: This challenge is not the same. Challenge Believe it or not, we haven't got ONE challenge for reversing one-dimensional arrays (although we've got one for n-dimensional ones)! This should operate only on the 1st dimension, not on all dimensions of an array. Rules Standard loopholes are den...

TL;DR strict I/O, multitype arrays for some reason (incl. strings), other annoying stuff

Bbrk24

In Civet 0.8.5 (not yet released, probably will be within the next day or two) reversing a string or array will just be &[..>=]

And it’ll support all that nonsense because it compiles to JS

@emanresuA I’ve also seen “reverse stdin onto stdout” but the I/O will completely overwhelm the actual reversing in that case

emanresu A

That said this is a prime candidate for being reposted with modern challenge-writing sensibilities - if you think it'd be worthwhile go ahead and do a post on meta

... ah I see that does exist

ATaco

I hate when a good challenge is ruined by over-speccing

ATaco

04:37

The Pythagorean challenge is one that always saddened me for being over-spec'd

@Bbrk24 your buttons take up a lot of horizontal space so it adds up to take a lot of the screen

I suppose I just have to do CSS(:

@Bbrk24 yeah...

lyxal

@RubenVerg make it so that you can hide the buttons

If you don't want to css it, a <details> (or whatever the tag name is) can do it for you in a fashion

RubenVerg

yeah that's a good idea

I already have a <details>

Wouldn't be too hard to add a vyxal-style keyboard with a searchbar and on-hover information, I might look into it tonight if I have time (kinda busy with exams)

(and by information I mean the builtin name because there's not much in the way of docs yet)

RubenVerg

yeah documentation in the editor is planned

ATaco

Does @Adám have an opinion on TinyAPL?

RubenVerg

if you want, each glyph has a docpage /glyph/name, ctrl click could open that page

no way to extract the names from the symbol yet though

emanresu A

Given that he's talked about it with madeline on the apl podcast I'd imagine so

(arraycast.com/episodes/episode88-tinyapl for the curious)

RubenVerg

if you want to do some Deno, the glyph links are machine readable so you could add an API glyph symbol -> glyph name and glyph name -> primitive names

currently there's no pages for the syntax glyphs because they don't have doc pages either

(otherwise I can do that myself)

Q1. My mobile service allows to sign every time. Each day I can get either 0MB traffic(by not signing) or (([Last day] mod 100) + 10)MB (by signing). It's therefore not always optimal to sign everyday. Say I'd need such amount of Internet traffic: 10 1 10 20 30 0 50 60 70 80 90 100 It's better no...

RubenVerg

@emanresuA make sure you have 9.10

(you probably just want to use ghcup)

emanresu A

Is 9.10.1 fine?

RubenVerg

yeah

you also probably want ghc wasm with flavor 9.10

emanresu A

06:45

well it took an hour but I managed to build the tinyapl online interpreter. There's some weird issues with the --unstable flag on deno resulting in a str.search is not a function error but it works

RubenVerg

hmm, do you have too old or too new deno?

i have 1.46.3

emanresu A

2.0.1 so yeah

RubenVerg

haven't tried with 2.0 yet, i've installed it on windows but not on wsl

works without issues for me even after upgrading

(to 2.0.2 though)

@emanresuA oh, are you doing deno task dev?

that has never worked for me

i just do cd docs && deno run -A main.tsx

Themoonisacheese

speaking of build systems on crack

at work one of our things generates a pdf using makefiles

the procedure is
make pdf
make pdf
make bib
make pdf

RubenVerg

how about make thepdf → make pdf && make pdf && make bib && make pdf

(i have no idea how makefiles work)

Themoonisacheese

06:59

oh there are many ways it could be improved

we just ended up stuffing it in a gitlab CI and forgot about it

emanresu A

Wait so what files actually create the repl page? Modifying js/index.html or js/index.ts doesn't seem to change anything, and I can't find anything else responsible for it

RubenVerg

@emanresuA ./js/build.sh && ./js/copy.sh

i really need build instructions

Q: Make a shortest posible program that doesn't do anything

The challenge is very simple. Just make a program that just does nothing (or in other words. Halt the prpogram)

@Adám well, which aspects do you find [interesting/cool/nice/innovative/...] and which do you not?

I assume that was the question anyways, and maybe a general opinion too

Seggan

@UnrelatedString yep

Unrelated String

Neat!

Anything in particular you want to sing?

Seggan

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer probably works with any non printing character

@UnrelatedString ok technically it was a general music class, divided into theory, vocals, and conducting

Unrelated String

Ah

wacky

I'm really surprised conducting isn't the kind of thing that's so specialized you'd have to take a dedicated class on it

Seggan

im doing conducting for our church choir, which is why im in the class in the first place

Unrelated String

14:50

Ooooh

Seggan

@UnrelatedString oh the class is 2 days long, every 2 months

we get plenty of time

Unrelated String

Interesting

Seggan

@UnrelatedString yeah so nothing in particular, see above. currently with the choir we are doing Жатвы Господь Излучающий Свет

Unrelated String

neat

like, i know that primality testing doesnt change much, and also the program was actually updated since release, but the fact they tested the primaly using prime95 is crazy to me

to me this feels like testing if a certificate is valid by loading it in altavista
