@ngn binormal?
 
8:30 AM
@dzaima That's intentional. It is an unscripted namespace. Flesh out the stubs you want to submit, then run the SubmitMe function which will create a monolithic script file for you to submit.
 
ngn
@Adám probably bivariate normal
 
@Adám ah okay, it's just that this says to do )ED #.Problems which is completely pointless without .fnname (and even then that's pointless if i don't want to use tradfns)
 
@dzaima Ah, you're right. I'll log an issue against that.
@dzaima Personally, I don't really get the point of the whole automated workspace thing. I'd just use the some other APL system option of editing the stubs' script.
 
@Adám with that problem not getting fixed i'm probably going for that too, because to make dfns i'm forced to do a Problems.fn←{} before editing, and trains can only be written in the REPL..
 
@dzaima Uh, you are allowed to change a tradfn into a dfn in the editor.
 
8:40 AM
@Adám ah so you are, TIL. trains are still impossible though
 
@dzaima But if you want to use derived functions, you should definitely edit the script. The script generation is not good at handling derived functions, except if you wrap them in a tradfn.
Like you can write the following tradfn (in the editor):
Avg←Avg
Avg←+⌿÷≢

the ui for this year's competition looks great

i wish / wasn't so unpleasant to use in function trains
 
@ngn Thanks. I hope the functionality is as good as the looks. ;-)
@dogstar The slashes are suffering from schizophrenia (we joke like that, but it is actually multiple personality disorder). If all goes to plan, we'll have a bandage for that in 18.0.
 
@Adám ⍥ what
 
@Adám amazing! that's my biggest aesthetic complaint about apl :)
 
@dzaima ⍤ is what
 
@Adám oh that. less elegant than new characters, but functional
 
9:59 AM
@dzaima Four new glyphs is quite expensive keyboard and language wise. And there aren't even any obvious candidates.
 
@Adám yeah, sadly. i wonder how many times has this mini-conversation happened here :D
 
10:29 AM
@dzaima (≢'schizo'∘(∨/⍷)¨/⊢)msgs … oh.

@ngn Any feedback is appreciated, btw.
 
ngn

@Adám you really need recaptcha? it's been getting some bad press lately
if you care about positive feedback: bootstrap and all that js look like overkill, but the site still feels very responsive
i like the icons, both aesthetically and the fact they are inline svgs
it's good you don't require registration right away
lol, forgotten console.log()-s in lb.js :) are those mine?
 
4:55 PM
@ngn Probably inserted for debugging, and then forgotten, but yes, obviously derived from your code.

N←{(⍴⍵)÷⍺ ⍺} and N←{((⍴⍵)÷⍺) ⍺} give different results, can anyone explain? For some reason, the second function returns an array with all the values boxed
 
@EmbodimentofIgnorance The first one divides the shape of the right argument by a two-element vector filled with copies of the left argument. The right one divides the shape of the right argument by the left argument, and juxtaposes that with the left argument.
@EmbodimentofIgnorance Maybe if you replace the space with a , it becomes clearer?
 
@Adám I see, but why does the second one show up in boxes in the TryAPL window?
)about
 
@EmbodimentofIgnorance You can evaluate a single line of APL by typing it into chat prefixed by ⍞←. Use ⎕← instead for boxed display and multi-line results and use ⋄ instead to silence the first statement. Use ] to call user commands, including ]help ⍣ for help on a glyph etc. Do not use markdown, but fixed-width (4 initial spaces) is fine. Commands: )lb for language bar, )docs for full documentation, )ref for PDF reference card, )idioms for idiom list.
