I've created this room to keep information and discussion about MATL centralized. MATL topics will be preferably discussed in this room, rather than in The Nineteenth Byte or in the Matlab and Octave room as it was up to now

I just published a new MATL release (17.0.0). See description (or better yet its documentation) to see changes

Someone pin these two messages.

Is pinning the same as starring? I never know the difference (if any)

Pinning is something room owners can do

It keeps a message at the top of the starboard

Ah, ok. Let's see if I know how to use my new-found powers

LOL... you have the same powers in the MATLAB chat room ;)

tada!

Oh, do I? Lol. So being room owner is the same as creator, right?

I think so...

@LuisMendo creator isn't a title as such

Yeah, whoever creates the room is automatically appointed as a room owner.

you are the only one who stars as RO though, so you're in charge of that

but as soon as you make me RO, I can remove you as RO :D

Got it. I'm learning a lot of things today!

Also, I didn't know there was an Octave room on SO

cool

@quartata We've got like a dozen room owners in the MATLAB/Octave room ;)

@quartata well, only @beaker speaks Octave ;)

@Adriaan Haha. For being RO you need to provide a few anwers in MATL :-P

@LuisMendo wow that ping sound is irritable here

is it?

I'll leave you louts to the MATL stuff

@beaker yes it is

I didn't even know they were different.

I know we need to paint the room... and now we need a new sound system

@Adriaan I hadn't noticed it's different from Matlab room's?. It's probably the same as in The 19th Byte

@Adriaan fuzzed-out electro-bass :/

and everything's blue/pink here. Not very easy on the eyes imho, especially the pink

@quartata It's a very nice place created by @rayryeng :-)

@LuisMendo Quick question: what does b (bubble) do again? I know it's a stack manipulation thing

@Adriaan That's because PPCG doesn't have a site design yet

@quartata Do you know CJam? It's like "rotate" there

@LuisMendo Ah, gotcha.

So if the stack contains 1, 2, 3 it leaves it as 2, 3, 1

So like @ in CJam

All right

I thought "bubble" was a clearer name, to suggest that the element which is third-from-the top "bubbles up" to the top

@quartata Yes, that's it. I didn't remember CJam's character

@beaker Exactly! Haha

@Adriaan said the guy with the pink elephant avatar

@LuisMendo I like pink elephants

:30411394 inter-chat link test

nope

foiled again

@beaker ^

It's not the same!

I used http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/30411453#30411453 taken from pressing the arrow on the left of the original message, then pressed "permalink"

For instance, you had to ping me explicitly.

@Adriaan I understand how to do what you did ;)

81987:30411394 um

nope

matlab-and-octave:30411394 so there

hehehe

okay, i give up

just copy the bloody permalink :P

i will

you win

@beaker jay \o/

lol

@flawr Yes, beaker suggested that :-) But the meaning of the implied word "chattle" didn't fit

Anyway, the name of the room can be changed...

What is implied by "chattle"? Didn't find any translation o_o

Am I safe to assume it is something dirty?

"chattel"

"property"

merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chattel

Well then I suggest that at least all MATL libraries will be named that way.

Although I think that if you make a specific version for King of the Hill, it should be called BATL

or "cattle"

@beaker Thief (ninja) I was thinking all the time of how you could justify BATL=)

BROTHL

lol

@flawr :-)

we need to have a battle bot competition on PP&CG

HOTL, GRUNTL, TITL, CASTL, HUSTL, KETL, LITL to be added to the list

SHUTL, SKITL, STARTL, THROTL, GENTL, WHISTL, WRESTL, APOSTL

oh and I think these are my favourites: SUBTL and TURTL

GRINDL is my favorite

BRITL

@flawr @flawr You can remove one byte: CASL

@LuisMendo Does that mean that in the next version of MATL you're going to golf out one more byte and call it MTL?

@beaker FUL MTL JACKT

LOL

CATL?

insert slowpoke meme

@LuisMendo There's not a way to unpack a vector into individual elements on the stack?

@beaker Do you mean this?

>> matl -h Z}
Z}  split array
    1--2 (1 / 2);  0-- (number of subarrays that will be produced)
    split array into subarrays along the first non-singleton
    dimension. With 2 inputs: split into subarrays along the
    dimension indicated by the second input

This will transform vector [10 20 30] into 10, 20, 30 (three numbers in the stack)

yes, that's what i mean

Just going to post this here as a reference. @LuisMendo Thanks for setting up this room!

Also I like the fourth output of u especially since XC doesn't seem to work in Octave.

@Suever Pinned! Maybe add a short explanation of what this very useful script does?

@Suever I had plans to support that on Octave. But now that theres the fourth output of u`it's not so urgent

Hey this is pretty fancy!

@David :-)
