The Nineteenth Byte

@wizzwizz4 We all have no life, so yeah.

wizzwizz4

@RikerW Do you know how to get files back?

From a Pelles C compilation log - intermediate steps?

RikerW

Nope. I use mac. But the one thing I do know is to keep backups.

wizzwizz4

I was actually about to share it with you guys. At least now I can improve it when I rewrite it from nothing.

RikerW

@wizzwizz4 What did the program do?

I am sorry for your loss though.

mınxomaτ

I was thinking about this challenge and wondered if a single ";" would considered to be an infinite loop. Most interpreters will loop until any input is received. Since the challenge disallows taking input, it would literally loop forever. I'm sure that's a loophole, but is this loophole covered somewhere?

wizzwizz4

18:04

It efficiently generated Seed programs. I was 1/4 of the way to finding a Hello World in 6 hours. (I realised I had a typo, so I stopped the program and changed the random function from 3 to 2, but 3 takes the same time as 2, so it would've found the Hello World program in less than a day on a non-budget laptop.)

RikerW

@wizzwizz4 Nice, I tried but gave up.

wizzwizz4

A pointer error must've caused it to write the null bytes into my file, then stumble upon some kernel memory and cause a segfault in the memory manager, crashing the system.

RikerW

@mınxomaτ I didn''t know interpreters ran until input?

@wizzwizz4 Wow. That is catastrophic.

wizzwizz4

@RikerW Well, it is Windows 10.

WHY DID I UPDATE BEFORE FINISHING THE PROJECT?!? WHY!!!

RikerW

Thus my use of macs, and 3 versions old at that.

Optimizer

18:08

@NathanMerrill that already exists..

its called PPCG

Nathan Merrill

-.-

Optimizer

no seriously, try it out

it has 98% accuracy level

wizzwizz4

@Optimizer Incorrect I'm afraid. 98% task completion level. But when it completes a task, it often completes it in several different languages, several times over.

Optimizer

all correct though

the incorrect ones are corrected automatically

or pruned

wizzwizz4

PPCG has a 98% answering rate. But a 100% accuracy rate when given an infinite stretch of time.

Optimizer

18:16

yus

well, i'd say 90th percentile is 1 week.

wizzwizz4

What is the size of an unsigned long in c? Just wondering...

By the way, The Ninetenth Byte has a 50% accuracy rate and a 97% answering rate, but it only has a 2% rejection rate.

Optimizer

how do you know that 50%?

@CSᵠ Surely you mean 56?

how did chrome say that?

Doorknob 冰

@CSᵠ no, 55, right?

wight

Doorknob 冰

18:23

There's 10 shown already, plus the 9935 other

CSᵠ

what

Optimizer

btw, chrome actually meant, "you have 34 tabs open but none of them is google. you su**"

RikerW

@Optimizer I mean tooltip count.

CSᵠ

@Doorknob冰 since how?

Doorknob 冰

@CSᵠ We're talking about the same thing, right? How far we are until 10k?

Optimizer

18:24

but doorknob is counting incorrectly

CSᵠ

@Doorknob冰 yea, but all is 9938

Yeah, use FedEx if you never want to see your data again. Better then formatting, and faster, too ...

wizzwizz4

@mınxomaτ Does it try to sort your bytes in order of size?

mınxomaτ

@AlexA. Even though, it still wasn't enough. Next fiber upgrade is coming in three months.

I seriously consider moving to Switzerland, cause a 1GBit/s residential connection is only $900/year over there.

Alex A.

I feel like there are better reasons to move somewhere than the Internet speed. :P

mınxomaτ

19:13

No.

wizzwizz4

@mınxomaτ Two things. First: GBits per second?!? Second: $900?!?

Doorknob 冰

Google Fiber is in Austin and San Antonio but not Houston ;(

mınxomaτ

@wizzwizz4 I'd have to pay over 40 grand to get fiber to my business or home here in Germany. Our pipes carry 300MBit/s max. Also, Init7 (the swiss ISP) is net neutral.

mınxomaτ

Doesn't make the bloody oracle servers faster though -.-

wizzwizz4

@mınxomaτ Seriously, if they can do 1GB/sec, they could advertise as 1024TB/sec and nobody's computers would be fast enough to check.

mınxomaτ

19:18

@wizzwizz4 Bits, not Bytes.

wizzwizz4

@mınxomaτ I know. Somebody could test 0.125GB/s, but not 1GB/s.

mınxomaτ

Imagine if you own a house in an Init7 area, you could bundle up to 5 1GBit/s streams together.

That's just ridiculous.

wizzwizz4

@mınxomaτ You still haven't realised that your hardware can't talk that fast.

Optimizer

@wizzwizz4 1gbps is testable in all modern computers

ethernet port usually comes at 10gbps nowadays

mınxomaτ

^

@wizzwizz4 Mine can for sure. Also, you don't have a single thing on this connection. TV, multiple PCs, NAS servers etc.

Optimizer

19:23

@wizzwizz4 dude, sata has been 6gbps for years now, you think ethernet would be any slower?

wizzwizz4

@Optimizer But after handshaking and TLS, is usable data really as fast as raw data? There's also data processing, data storage...

Optimizer

@mınxomaτ where is it from?

mınxomaτ

ಠ_ಠ

wizzwizz4

I can win any argument so long as I'm right enough.

Optimizer

@wizzwizz4 IO is probably 100 times slower than processing. So expect data processing at 1tbps :P

mınxomaτ

19:24

@Optimizer Not me, sadly.

Mine's this

Optimizer

where is that from ?

mınxomaτ

@Optimizer Could you specify this question?

Optimizer

country/isp

mınxomaτ

It says right on the picture.

Optimizer

also, to put it in other words. 1Gbps is merely 128MBps. USB 3.0 offers 300+MBPS data transfer pretty easily.

mınxomaτ

19:28

The limiting factor is the server upstream.

Optimizer

yeah, but we were being theoretical and just testing the speed..

so assumption was server has infinite bandwidth

wizzwizz4

Apparently I'm not right enough...

I give in.

Optimizer

up*

wizzwizz4

@Optimizer Give up is to abandon something. Give in is to let somebody / something else win. Subtle difference.

Optimizer

give up is used for trying to win the argument

Doorknob 冰

19:30

Both are correct here

Optimizer

so you abandon putting in any effort in trying

give in is actually more on lines on "hmm, i think you are right, i agree with you now"

Pi (film)

Pi, also titled π, is a 1998 American surrealist psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky in his directorial debut. The film earned Aronofsky the Directing Award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and the Gotham Open Palm Award. The title refers to the mathematical constant pi. The film is notable for its covering of an array of themes including religion, mysticism and the relationship of the universe to mathematics.
