So 1000 generations takes ~1 min (for virtually instant return). How many generations would be best?

1000000000

hmm

Thats quite a few

Q: It's Life, Jim, but not as we know it

You probably know Conway's Game of Life, the famous cellular automaton invented by mathematician John Conway. Life is a set of rules that, together, allow you to simulate a two-dimensional board of cells. The rules decide which cells on the board live and which ones die. With some imagination, y...

Done

WE'VE GOT A SIMPLE JOB FOR YOU THEY SAID. IT'LL BE FUN THEY SAID.

mod abuse 11 please

oh wow, it's finally happening

@muddyfish congrats on making that challenge reality :)

9:26 PM

We did it!

martin strikes from shadows

@HelkaHomba are you planning to defeat (Martin) Ender sometime soon?

Yeah

At least 28 people dead in blast at Istanbul airport

I've been to that airport :|

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

scary .-.

Leaving chat now, (probably) won't respond to pings until tommorrow

9:59 PM

@HelkaHomba @Quill i figured out why istanbul isn't working

o_O

that's a bad joke

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

really bad joke

@Quill sorry if that joke was insensitive >_>

@optimizer did you really just

10:06 PM

I guess.

aaaaanyway

istanbul, the code coverage tool, is borked on C9 because the source mappings tell it to look three folders up

created a moving chicken that is client controlled and syncs between clients, but its laggy..... trying to learn NODE.JS isn't as fun as i'd thought..... doesn't work very well

which is out of the Cheddar folder

@BaldBantha are you using WebSockets?

no socket.io

@BaldBantha that's websockets internally (well, and long-polling fallback)

10:10 PM

yeah. but websockets is.... really, really, really stripped down IMO

I was more talking about the concept of web sockets, than the specific node ws implementation

trina fix the lag

my code is proboobobly ( i can never spell that) awful

you wanna try and estimate position based on the lag

or maybe just your computer is slow?

spline interpolation and whatnot

10:13 PM

There's a good paper on it, by one of the architects of Source

@Quill I don't think that's the case, It's with the code or the wifi I think

10:25 PM

@Quill so it's a prolbem with the source maps?

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@muddyfish wow. I never thought I'd see this day come. Truly, this is a Momentus occasion.

kinda sorta. I don't really know how to fix it and the case is pretty implementation specific so I don't know how good help on SO would be at it

if you compiled the JS in the same folder and cleaned it, the paths would be the same and the sourcemaps would come out fine

it's just those HTML reports that break, which you don't even need for codecov and coveralls (just the JSON)

okay, I think I can write a custom build for tests maybe.

though the HTML reports are useful so I know what to increase coverage on before pushing >_>

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

What's the best way to do a challenge with calculating floating point numbers? How much precision should I require?

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan as much as your language's default floating point type supports. Maybe specify it should "theoretically" work perfectly

i found a thing

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

10:31 PM

That seems like a bad idea.

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan the latter or the former? Idk, maybe make a meta post if one doesn't exists yet about it

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Last time I did that, this happened:

A: Print the N-bonacci sequence

Boolfuck, 6 bytes ,,[;+] You can safely assume no N-Bonacci numbers will exceed the default number type in your language. The default number type in Boolfuck is a bit. Assuming this also extends to the input numbers N and X, and given that N>0, there are only two possible inputs - 10 (whi...

there's standard loophole against that tho now

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Meh. Still seems prone to abuse.

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan +100 for being DJ McGoathem 10/10 great username

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan maybe just add "at lesat two decimal places of prescision", along with the above.

though abuse is kinda what this site is about

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

10:35 PM

Wouldn't significant digits be a better measure?

yeah

@Downgoat just do the JS cleaning like I said it should be fine

ok, so, build JS in src/, run tests, then clean those JS files?

@MᴀʀsUʟᴛᴏʀ I know there is a lambda parser for Cheddar but do you know if we made a function parser?

question: what should be the syntax for constructing a class? new foo() seems too C#ish

:D typeof and return are the same length

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

10:50 PM

I'm not against new foo()

<foo>()

just something different

<bar>() ?

@NewMainPosts Silly NMP, simple jobs are for kids

How should class initialization be?

@Downgoat <foo>(a, b)

wait seriously

why

10:59 PM

idk. <foo> could be syntax for the foo constructor

a:foo:b

@Optimizer what if you have 3 parameters

a:foo:b
  ' '
   c

what if you have 4

   a
  . .
d:foo:b
  ' '
   c

11:01 PM

what if you have 5

language limitation'

not more than 4

IMO use <type> for generics and new Type(..params) for type construction

@Optimizer why not use .'s for both top and bottom?

@Maltysen should be close to foo

@Downgoat bundle into a list

11:04 PM

@Maltysen gravity compresses the ' into a .

honestly speaking

foo:a:b:c:d:e

what about named parameters?

i was considering foo:(a,b,c) but that just looks weird

its JS for god's sake

foo:a:b:c looks awesome

not realy

11:08 PM

Left side of road drivers: do you use your left foot to work the pedals?

And are drive throughs easier since you can use your dominant right arm?

I sit on it first and which ever pedal is up, use that side

isn't (TOKEN.Reference === null || !TOKEN.Reference) equivalent to ( !TOKEN.Reference)?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

yes

null is falsey

for some reason it isn't

everything borks when ic hange it ._.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

then don't change it

List knight moves in algebraic notation code-golf Given an initial location of a knight on a chess board, list all squares it could move to. Use algebraic notation coordinate for squares: 'D3' -> ['B2', 'B4', 'C1', 'C5', 'E1', 'E5', 'F2', 'F4'] The squares can be listed in any order, but each...

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ nvm it was a bug all along >_>

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

lel

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:40 PM

@Downgoat how can I make an object callable as a function?

functions are objects

so just make a function

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

it's a class

I want to have, say, let a = new V(); a(3);

an ES6 class? then you can't, there is proposed syntax though

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ oh um

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you can't >_>

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

there's no symbol for calling? weird

though you can do :

function V() {
    var func = < your fucntion >;
    func.__proto__ = this.__proto__;
    return func
}

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:44 PM

that's interesting

11:54 PM

;_; ono circular dependency error

You really, really should make your own require_once

C/C++ question: What does #define F(X) F_ ## X ## _ do?

node require is require_once

@Downgoat Doesn't sound like it

@AlexA. ## concatenates two tokens

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

11:58 PM

So F(fooey) is replaced with fooey_X_ I believe

Oh okay, that's kind of what I thought would happen. Thanks!

halp, how fix circular dependency ;-; shit i think its impossible to fix this one

:P i fixed that one in two days

though two days is pretty long for a bug fix
