@TùxCräftîñg What are you waiting for, share something to the Remaining Bytes!
:3
 
@Dennis Alright, no hurry.
 
@zyabin101 i have shared something
 
Huh, I thought (.)\K\1.*\1.+\K\1 would work
Are capture groups preserved?
Oh wait nevermind
Python regex doesn't have \K
so that's great
 
now the parser can parse a lot of things
func f list =
 each x = list
  g(x)
 ;
;
is correctly parsed
 
@TùxCräftîñg I see. xD
 
5:10 PM
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
oh wait
it's a standard loophole D:
 
@Dennis When you pull CG you'll need a new library: pip install python-pcre
 
Installing PacBSD (arch with BSD kernel) is harder than reading a book on nuclear physics written in Linear A.
 
hahaha
 
ಠ_ಠ
and the book is more interesting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Why do you want a BSD kernel anyways?
 
5:16 PM
@quartata You might put CG in a package, so that to pull, he just needs to pip install cinnamon-gum==maj.min.pat.qua where qua serially increments.
 
@flawr I think you might be thinking of this? The right-hand sidebar has four links to videos in the upper half.
 
With each commit.
 
@quartata Just wanted to try it.
 
@mınxomaτ large mistake
 
@zyabin101 npm: npm init && npm publish, pip: read a entire book, do Infinity manipulations, create a ini file, pip publish
 
5:18 PM
@quartata :D my answer doesn't even use regex.
 
y u dont regex ಠ_ಠ
 
It's the perfect challenge for V since it's about 2d placement of strings.
@TùxCräftîñg cause I don't need it.
 
but the best answer is the cheddar one because String.turn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@quartata you should use cg on the slide challenge. I wanna see how they compare.

Q: Draw a ladder and slide

atlasologistYour task is to create a program or function that takes, as input, a natural number (n) between 1 and 25 (inclusive) and prints an isometric representation of a slide and ladder with n number of rungs. Ladder and slide specifications The ladder is always oriented on the left and the slide on th...

 
Hey I'd make $115K at SO. Not bad.
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Ooh, lemme see
Hmm, doesn't look too bad. Let's see if I could do it
 
5:23 PM
@quartata Well, the ubuntuBSD installation was pretty easy and fast. But with PacBSD, I just can't get the freeBSD init to work with ZFS...
Nor OpenRC.
 
@TùxCräftîñg To regex in Mathematica, you need a whole RegularExpression@"", making its own string patterns shorter in most cases
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan It would be golfier if I had some basic math but I can do that with a map I think
 
@LegionMammal978 mathematica is weird anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
i mean Rotate["LOGIC", 180] print a reversed "LOGIC"
 
5:26 PM
How backwards.
 
Man, my skill level was a 2.9... soooo clossseee
 
huh wat
 
You mean Rotate["LOGIC", Pi]?
 
5:27 PM
Nevermind the fact that Rotate[ makes no sense
 
Mathematica uses radians
 
the rotation is inradians
 
ninja'd
 
ಠ_ಠ ok mathematica is definitively weird
 
@quartata It's useful for Graphics objects
 
5:28 PM
Gah. Took me so long to write my SO question that lunch time crept up on me. Now I'm worried that if I go eat lunch, someone will leave a comment that requires my attention.
 
@LegionMammal978 Well yeah but why would we ever need to rotate text like that?
 
@quartata because Mathematica ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@quartata If you're embedding it into complex graphics, perhaps
 
I suppose.
 
Booyah! Got that last pesky byte off! \o/
 
5:29 PM
What would be more useful is rotating it around another object

gack!
 
That strike through header is hilarious.
 
-1 you should write In nonlocal news
 
@quartata exempt because he lives in Russia
 
5:31 PM
@zyabin101 ?
I mean, it's just a hypothetical calculator
Funny, I never realized that SO jobs didn't always show salary range.
I guess I was one of the guinea pigs...

@quartata It doesn't have roubles. ;(
 
huh wat
oh nvm >_>
 
@quartata ^
 
@zyabin101 Oh, well that's not a big deal :P just google roubles to dollars
 
5:34 PM
There's probably a shorter method, too lazy atm though
 
huh god wat
 
@LegionMammal978 Yeah, that's helpful for figures
 
@quartata It's weird how this is one of those things that surprises companies. I mean, who would've guessed that people would be more interested in your job offers if you tell them how much you'll pay upfront?
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan "V, <s>-join38..30</s>, 29" use a range operator to golf your header ;-)
 
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, I thought it would be obvious
I think SO's fear was that lower salary jobs wouldn't get as much promotion and those companies would yell at them but I mean if your base salary is too low for people to be interested that's your fault
 
5:38 PM
I agree, Mathematica is weird
 
fun fact: ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ have 63 bit of entropy
 
@TùxCräftîñg that entirely depends on your generation method
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I can't do this in CG yet. :/
 
@TùxCräftîñg [ citation needed]
 
@LegionMammal978 nice meme

Maybe I should write a 35 byte answer just because.

5:58 PM
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan You know what would be cool for both V and CG would be something that visualizes the control flow and the buffers
 
Yeah, that would be really cool, but it would be extremely hard. Well, maybe.
 
is using calls good to index or i should create a syntax for indexing?
 
I suppose I could make it run in an external vim window (already implemented) and record it as it steps through. The only problem with that is that certain commands (mainly loops and recursion) playback too quickly to be interesting.
 
6:03 PM
heh
 
ah >_>
 
@quartata actually, I just tried it, and with some very minor changes, that works extremely well. Cool idea! I'm really excited to play around with it more.
 
Well that was quick
I might make a special online interpreter for the visualization
Think I'll do some other things first though.
 
I won't be able to put mine online.
I'll probably modify each program to record it.
 
@quartata Of what?
 
6:19 PM
I really want to make a brain-flak visualizer. That would be fun.

It is approximately equal to 2.71828, and is the limit of (1 + 1/n)n as n approaches infinity. Challenge Calculate the number e to 15 digits after the decimal point. This means t...

@El'endiaStarman Yes, thank you very much!!!
 
@flawr No problem. :D
 
@El'endiaStarman Hm, perhaps still not what I was looking for.
 
@flawr Why are you looking for this thing you're looking for?
 
Today I finally understood the intuition behind the projective plane and it's affine maps, and now I had the idea to make a visualization. But unfortunately I don't know how to render stuff in practice.
 
7:53 PM
@flawr Find a plane, take its corner-points, apply the transformation, and draw a new plane?
 
What transformation?
 
> and it's affine maps
 
Are you sure we are talking about the same thing?

@Downgoat this is one of the rare cases where ex commands are better. You can just do :number d
Also, use number G instead of :number
 
8:41 PM
Haha, I should just start posting daily vim-tips.
Tip number one: g?G
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Good idea.
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan rot13?
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan yes pls
 
8:45 PM
what is the magic of this command? ಠ_ಠ
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan i think itll be helpful to say what the command does
 
Well, that first tip was a joke.
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan plz how this command work ;_;
 
courtesy laugh
 
8:47 PM
@TùxCräftîñg it ROT13s every where the motion moves over. With G, this is the whole file.
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan vim has a rot13 builtin?
 
g?? also work
 
^ that only does it to the current line
 
g?G only rot13 the current line
huh no
it rot13 every line starting at the current
 
8:50 PM
Yup it does it until the last line.
 
|g?g?|		g??		2  Rot13 encode current line
|g?g?|		g?g?		2  Rot13 encode current line
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan why are they two entires for same thing?

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan halp y is vim regex borked
 
9:04 PM
Can you be more specific? :p
 
I'd love to help, but have absolutely no details with which I could help.
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Okay well I'm trying to do: :%s/(\<+|\>+|\=+).*// but it says pattern not found but the pattern is there. Does vim regex not support . or something?
 
No need to escape those.
 
I know but it wasn't working so I just escaped everything
 
It won't work with them escaped
 
9:08 PM
wait wat
 
I'm not sure what that supposed to match, but I'm guessing you shouldn't have escaped the parens.
 
Still borked :/

@quartata have you used Haxe targetting Neko?
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Are you going to map V control keys to printable characters?
 
huh
the only many meme post closed is the PPCG one
 
@TùxCräftîñg Kinda like how TNB is one of the only chatrooms with a "chatiquette".
 
because for some reason the Higher Ups think that it incites bad behaviour. I guess they have a point--now that it's closed, there are exactly 0 bad behaviours in this chat room >_<
 
9:29 PM
@El'endiaStarman chatiquette that nobody care about ._.
 
@TùxCräftîñg that's the problem. All users expect it while only some users give it.
 
@TùxCräftîñg That's far from the truth.

when a mod/high rep user post a message it automatically get stars ._.
 
@TùxCräftîñg False.
This will not get stars.
I am a high rep user.
 
everyone star it
 
9:32 PM
you're confusing correlation with causation. Users that I'm more likely to star, I'm also more likely to make my mod

@Downgoat WTF.
 
@zyabin101 Eventually. Wanna help me pick them?
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I do. :3
 
@zyabin101 Also, I don't understand exactly how that file works. I generated it, not wrote it.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Why does it matter that there are still bad behaviors in this chat? A wellspring of them has been stopped up.
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan You left a backup of a working file, and now it just lives in this repository as junk.
I thought you did
 
9:38 PM
@Zgarb Done.
 
.gitignore
 
@El'endiaStarman ? such as? I've noticed more rather than less since.
 
.*~, but nope.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Mostly because it's been explicitly labeled.
 
@zyabin101 That one isn't junk. Technically, it isn't working yet, but that is supposed to be in there.
 
9:39 PM
good night
 
@El'endiaStarman I don't think we're on the same page. It shouldn't matter whether or not something is labeled for it to be noticed...
@TùxCräftîñg bonne nuit
 
o_o
 
@TùxCräftîñg g'night
 
@TùxCräftîñg спокойной ночи
"good night" in Russian.
 
russian always looks so cool
 
9:41 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Mmm, no, it's somewhat analogous to how people think that all sorts of crime are on the rise, when it's the opposite, because the media focuses on the bad stuff.
 
@zyabin101 I'd love the help! Right now, most of the really obvious bugs and needed improvements are fixed, so a code page is the most obvious next step. I'll get you a list of the ones I've already mapped.
 
@quartata Done and done.
 
It might take me a little while though, cause I don't have them written down yet.
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan ASCII is already mapped.
We all know.
 
@El'endiaStarman granted. however, now that I think about it--what's exactly has been labelled? where? chatetiquette? if there, then I don't think I'd remember :P
 
9:43 PM
@Dennis Is Actually borked?
It needs a module, Crypto, for its new easter egg.
 
That was fixed yesterday. I think.
 
Obviously ascii is mapped. And also unicode 0xA0-0xFF
 
@Dennis Congratulations, Dennis! It is verified working!
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Hmm, I didn't exactly mean a specific, explicit label, but more like "overused jokes/memes (avodad) are bad, being mean ('Alex is wrong') is bad, caret chains are bad, bunches of ASCII faces are bad, tons of images and gifs are bad, etc..."
 
I'm preparing a new list on phone for Actually integer golf on the go.
 
9:45 PM
Now that all that kind of stuff has been labeled "bad", you notice it more.
 
I created a table of all of the potential compilation targets, and unfortunately, I think that C++ wins.
Compilation targets:
        LL      GC      Speed   Support Library Cross platform
JVM     2       5       2       4       5       5
C++     4       3       5       5       4       3
NekoVM  4       5       ?       2       2       3
CLR     2       5       2       4       5       4
LLVM    2       1       4       3       4       3
(LL means low level, aka how easy is it to compile, and GC refers to garbage collector support)
 
How, in Vim, having the buffer containing a list of lines with numbers, to prefix each line w/ : and put a blank line after each line?
 
@zyabin101 <C-v>GIidkwhatgoeshere: <esc>
 
@Downgoat I think you missed a G in there.
 
why do i need G?
 
9:49 PM
haha, I disagree with all but being mean and various types of overuse. In moderation, these things (images, gifs, ASCII faces, caret chains, memes) aren't bad. And the only "labelled" type of being mean _per se_ is "Alex is wrong"--yet I still notice a larger amount of occurrences of obnoxious and/or disrespectful behaviour. I won't cite a reason because I don't know one, but I theorize that, with the installation of certain "rules", those who are younger (and thus those who have a higher tendency of rebellion, e.g. teenagers and pre-teens) have a more solid surface against which to react.
 
@Downgoat Otherwise it'll only get one line
 
ohhh yeah
;_: too late to edit
@El'endiaStarman can you eleven in a G after the <C-v> in this message
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ @SE people: weird bug with replies on multiline messages
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Meta Stack Exchange
 
@zyabin101 <C-v>GI : <esc>:%s/$/\n/
 
9:56 PM
Ahh, I removed Vim from my phone because the volume keys have become dumb.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The point about giving [pre-]teens something more concrete to rebel against seems plausible to me. On the other hand, I feel like moving messages to Trash and kick-muting works pretty well for suppressing such behavior.
