@quartata I could provide my own as well.
 
That would be cool
 
@quartata I went ahead and uploaded the parsing code here: gist.github.com/elendiastarman/3bbf1e18b77146043950e4569a305e94
 
How long dd it take you to scrape?
 
That's the entirety of transcriptAnalyzer_database.py.
@quartata Lemme do a quick test.
 
8:03 PM
Trying to decide if I should just keep my laptop open or if I shoud put it somewhere ese
 
Well, scraping the whole TNB database, including creating the database, took around 12 hours altogether.
 
If you were interested, there's an online Fourier interpreter now:
 
@El'endiaStarman The stopping-aging thing seems the most disturbing to me somehow. Half the people in this room could still be alive 200 years hence o_O
(Someone remember to ping me then if you are.)
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ Thanks @mınxomaτ <3
 
Eh. I never understood the appeal of immortality. I only really want to live to 80-90 tops. No sense in watching all the people around you die and everything change
 
8:07 PM
@quartata It took about 12 seconds to do yesterday's transcript.
 
@mınxomaτ Ditto, the server's going to be helpful for stuff like that
 
@El'endiaStarman cool
 
@quartata i kinda want 125 to get donations for being the oldest person ever
 
@quartata But if most of the people you know are immortal too
 
I think that, as the database got bigger, it took more time to retrieve stuff from the database, which ended up making recent days take minutes to parse and record.
 
8:09 PM
@quartata That's my favorite anecdote about the Highlander movie. Queen was the artist behind the soundtrack, and one of their songs was the powerful "Who Wants to Live Forever?" The director/producers of the movie liked the song so much and the song's message so much, they adjusted the storyline of the movie to make it a stronger main theme.
 
@HelkaHomba The sad thing about immortality is that you'd outlive the whole life on earth for the biggest part of your life you'd be just in a lifeless uninteresting place in space forever. Probably suffering from very uncomfortable environments with only the certainty that you will not die. Probably having forgotten that other life ever existed.
 
@MartinEnder I don't want to continue the discussion on Adam's post, but I want to say that I realize your meta post says "If there is no interaction between the challenges, then the post is off topic." and the comment posted by DJMcMayhem says "If the challenges are unrelated, then the post is off topic."
 
@flawr Well, I'm talking stopping or reversing biological aging from the video El linked, not full immortality. Surely after a few thousand years you'd get in a fatal accident
 
@HelkaHomba I recently saw the movie Jupiter Ascending, where a major theme was of very technologically-advanced humans fighting over ways to get more time to live and do stuff. Despite living to 50,000+.
 
@El'endiaStarman I don't think Jupiter Ascending is a good example of anything
 
8:14 PM
@HelkaHomba That sounds a lot better=)
 
Basically, the core economy was based on scarcity of time.
@Downgoat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I thought it was a fun movie.
 
Can a brain hold 50,000 years of memories? .-.
 
^
 
Sorry that came out weird. I do want to continue the discussion, but not in the comments on the post. (Hopefully that made more sense)
 
@El'endiaStarman Reminds me of In Time
 
8:17 PM
@HelkaHomba Do you even have memories of all the time you've been alive? And would you want to? I'd think not. Plus, another 50,000 years of our technological progress would probably make that a moot issue.
 
On a completely unrelated note. Holy dang - Seagate just unveiled a 60TB 3.5" SSD that it expects to ship next year.
10
 
And I just bought a 232GB SSD...
 
@TimmyD omf o_________o
oh its SSD O______O
 
I probably don't wanna know the price...
 
@TimmyD Jeeeeez....
 
8:22 PM
i am highly doubting that... HDDs only go up to 10-15TB max from what i can find. I don't think an SSD could have 6x capacity of HDD without absurd price
 
Even better: if history is anything to go by, our grandchildren will have hand-sized devices with many terabytes (maybe even petabytes?) of storage capacity.
 
Yeah, the pricing is going to be ridicul-fuckin'-us when/if it actually comes out.
 
Hey @Dennis how do languages get added try it online?
 
Consumer-level 2.5" SSDs are mostly hollow, so the capacity itself is not that surprising. Just compare it to this.
People ask me to and I try my best to get them working.
Nagging helps since I have terrible memory.
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ You sacrifice a goat to Dennis.
 
8:25 PM
@El'endiaStarman though this rate can't increase forever, surely soon (10-20 years?) we'll hit a physically limit
@El'endiaStarman O_____O @Dennis this is not acceptable ;_;
 
I don't think I'll ever need more than about 100tb
 
@Dennis btw any luck on new ruby?
 
@Downgoat, get on the table
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ ಠ__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ಠ
 
OK, that's a lot of underscores...
 
8:26 PM
@Downgoat He meant oat
 
uh huh sure
 
@flawr That's what people said about 100Gb a few years ago
 
@Downgoat very much underscore
 
@Downgoat Yeah, one would think so. There's certainly an information density limit beyond which packing more information into the same volume makes it into a black hole.
 
@Dennis Alright... pretty pretty pretty pretty please can Fourier get on the list? :)
 
8:27 PM
Why shouldn't I use a black hole as my storage device?
 
@ConorO'Brien @Rubypeople Does anyone know how backwards-compatible different versions of Ruby are? I'd hate to break existing interpreters by updating Ruby...
 
@El'endiaStarman Isn't that what bremmerman's limit is?
 
I'm not a ruby person :/
 
That was for context.
 
@El'endiaStarman not just black holes, quantum tunneling would pose a big problem too. I think it's already become a problem too
 
8:29 PM
@T.Lukin Actually, Bekenstein's Bound. You were close, though; Bremmerman's Limit is about computational speed.
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ How do you clone a codeplex repo?
Nevermind. It's git.
 
@El'endiaStarman That's what I get for not googling in my rush to post T-T
 
@feersum Black Holes: Write-many, read-never storage.
 
@Downgoat Course as the cloud expands, small portable storage won't be as big a deal.
 
@T.Lukin Hey, I didn't recall either name!
 
8:30 PM
@HelkaHomba yes but my data bill will be big unlike the storage
 
@Dennis Yeah. I have no idea why I chose CodePlex over Github... They're pretty much identical
 
@Downgoat People have a funny habit of adjusting their spending depending on their priorities... (In other words, you won't necessarily find it strange that you're spending so much on data in 20 years.)
 
At least the website looks a bit nicer imho.
 
@El'endiaStarman Although it's unlikely that we'll ever get even within orders of magnitude of that IRL
 
@El'endiaStarman Okay, I don't think I've ever seen 11 citations after a single sentence... (It's at the end of the Origins paragraph.)
 
8:33 PM
@βετѧΛєҫαγ Executable bit set but no shebang. That's an interesting variation of the usual shebang without executable bit. ;)
 
@Downgoat Hopefully cheap public networks will be more and more prevalent
 
@flawr Looks interesting. This is the first I've heard of it, though. (Also, woo gratuitous sex scene. Gotta appeal to those people.)
 
"those people"
The folks who like sex
 
@El'endiaStarman Wow. Guess they went overboard on the inline citation policy ;-)
 
@HelkaHomba I'm assuming you mean stuff like xfinity wifi, i get that almost everywhere where i live but there tend to be so many people connected, you can barely connect, if you do, it's dog-slow
 
8:38 PM
@Downgoat I've never had a problem with slowness (though, I live in more a rural area)
 
question: should i sneak in trignometric functions with "arithmetic" or should i make new section?
 
"mathematic"?
eh, that's a bit broad
 
huh ok that is good idea
 
algebraic?
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ Let's see if I got this right. The source code is read from STDIN and there is not user input. Correct?
 
8:41 PM
@Dennis What can I say, I'm an interesting person ;)
 
@Downgoat Depends on how large your math library will be in total.
 
@El'endiaStarman Not every american film is that american=)
 
@Zgarb this is just mathematical operators, so itll only have ~10-20 entries
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ Nevermind, there's user input as well.
 
@Downgoat Then I support "math" or something similar.

@flawr Yeah, that would've been out of place in The Lego Movie.
 
Jan 28 at 18:53, by TimmyD
@AlexA. The best argument for "maths" that I've heard is this -- "Does doctors shorten to doc or docs?"
 
Do we have a challenge about making a string palindromic as shortly as possible? e.g. car -> carac, yipee -> yipeepiy, racecar -> racecar
 
I just realized I have 3 nested layers of tabs open on my phone: the apps list, multiple tabs on Firefox, and SE chatrooms, between which I can jump in a single FF tab.
 
8:47 PM
@HelkaHomba no, i don think so
 
> carac
 
@HelkaHomba yes
 
you're making me hungry
 
@HelkaHomba Yes. Try searching for "palindromic closure" IIRC
 
@HelkaHomba make sure to include bebob -> bebobeb
 
8:47 PM

@HelkaHomba related
 
@HelkaHomba Yes: here
I think yours would be a slightly more specific version of that one
 
@flawr Small pies with fudge filling?
 
@T.Lukin Maybe but close enough
 
@HelkaHomba dupe
 
8:49 PM
@El'endiaStarman I've never had fudge, but probably sweeter than fudge.
Probably sweeter than anything=)
 
@flawr You've never had fudge?!?! Where are you from?
 
@flawr I've never had fudge, likewise, but it just looks like fudge.
 
where have you been all your life
fudge is amazing
 
I don't really like chocolate very much.
 
that's fine
fudge is more than chocolate
is glory
 
8:50 PM
*ducks from hailfire*
 
Fudge is good but can get too rich fast

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Nathan MerrillChess converter There's quite a lot of work that's been done in the world of chess. For example, there is a standardized file format, .pgn, that describes a chess game, including the list of moves. Additionally, there's another file format .fen, that describes a board position. The challenge ...

@Dennis Correct, there's user input

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ That was a major API change...
 
Does anyone here have a good Fudge receipe (that I can replicate without ounces or cups?) @El'endiaStarman ?
 
8:54 PM
> v2
 
@flawr All measurements can be converted from ounces and cups. That isn't the thing you should be worried about
 
@NathanMerrill lgtm, but maybe put a definition of pgn/fen or at least a link?
 
They are links?
 
@T.Lukin Whenever I try I find that there are a ton of different ways to convert them.
And I know I cannot trust my estimates when it comes to cooking or baking.
 
@flawr There's a difference between ounces and fluid ounces in the USian style ... maybe that's the confusion?
 
@flawr It can be kinda confusing, cuz there's ounces (oz) and fluid ounces (fl oz). Which are for weight and volume, respectively
 
It's very rare for recipes here to weigh ingredients, though. We tend to almost always use volume.
 
@Quill is it rickroll ¬_¬
oh nvm
cheddar> [1,2,2].filter(is 2)

@T.Lukin Don't forget the troy ounce (oz t) used primarily for precious metals.
 
> Ounce, a unit of length used to measure the thickness of leather or hide
 
9:00 PM
@Downgoat is is a curried function?
 
What
 
@TimmyD Silly me! How could I forget that? In fact, I just made a bread recipe where the ingredients were measured in troy ounces!
 
hah
 
@ConorO'Brien ?
it is unary oeprator
returns n -> n == RHS
 
Also important to note is that the US system of "Imperial" measurement is different than the British one.
 
9:00 PM
?
yeah, curried function
 
@TimmyD Only adds to my confusion.
 
@TimmyD Wow our measuring system is f'd up
 
Oh yeah.
The imperial and US customary systems of measurement are two closely inter-related systems of measurement both derived from earlier English system of measurement units which can be traced back to Ancient Roman units of measurement, and Carolingian and Saxon units of measure. US Customary units, developed and used in the United States after the American Revolution, are based on a subset of the English units used in the Thirteen Colonies, while the Imperial system of units was developed and used after 1824 in the United Kingdom and subsequently used in the rest of the Commonwealth. US Customary units...
 
@flawr If I've never had fudge, why would you expect me to have a recipe for it? :P
 
@Downgoat Another Lemon Demon fan \o/
 
9:03 PM
solution: do everything the US way
 
@El'endiaStarman Perhaps all your attempts failed, and that's why you never had fudge so far?
 
@NathanMerrill Obviously the best solution.
 
MURICA
 
Because the USoA is the greatest country in the world, soon becoming great again.
 
@flawr you want a recipe that resulted in multiple fails?

@NathanMerrill touché
 
@flawr i have never seen it spelt USoA in my entire life .___. this is a first
 
SICK BURRRRN (burnt fudge)
 
@flawr In the age of the internets it can't be THAT hard to find a fudge recipe

9:06 PM
@flawr TIL liberia and burmia are not considered part of the world
 
I'm sure there are a ton of receipes, but then comes the difficulty to decide which one to take
 
@flawr I already admitted to the suckiness of our measurements

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Up until a couple months ago that was my internet speed
 
Greek numerals is a system of representing numbers using the letters of the Greek alphabet. These alphabetic numerals are also known by names Ionic or Ionian numerals, Milesian numerals, and Alexandrian numerals. In modern Greece, they are still used for ordinal numbers and in situations similar to those in which Roman numerals are still used elsewhere in the West. For ordinary cardinal numbers, however, Greece uses Arabic numerals. == History == The Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations' Linear A and Linear B alphabets used a different system, called Aegean numerals, which included speciali...

@βετѧΛєҫαγ Not really. I spent most of the time doing something else since I got called away from my computer. :P Tio! is designed so adding new languages is rather easy. I do think you should do something about the Code and Input thingies though.
@ConorO'Brien I installed Ruby 2.0 and it works locally, but it doesn't work if the source code isn't in the same directory as the interpreter. That's technically impossible, since the Apache/tio user doesn't have write access.
@βετѧΛєҫαγ Scratch that. One second.
 
9:31 PM
@HelkaHomba you should add this test case:
      goat
   goa    goa
 go   goat   go
g  goa    goa  g
 go   goat   go
   goa    goa
      goat
 
@HelkaHomba I feel like your challenge is underspecified. You're only explaining via example.
 
@Dennis What do you mean with the Code and Input things?
 
> Information technology professionals are not entitled to an eating period
 
The interpreter prints Code: and Input: when asking for code and input. That's nice in an interactive session, but it looks a bit out of place on Tio!
 
everyone knows IT people are robots
 
9:34 PM
@NathanMerrill What input would you not be able to tell the output of?
 
@Dennis Oh, okay, I'll get rid of it now
 
@HelkaHomba oh, I think the examples are clear, I just think that you need a description of what to do beyond "follow the example"
 
It's cumbersome to describe in words. I feel the examples are clear enough.
 
@NewMainPosts Should have ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ as a test case.
 
@Dennis made in vim
 
9:38 PM
@Dennis Yeah but I'm doing them by hand :|
@Poke Really? Pastebin it and I'll gladly credit you :)
 
But we clearly need more alphabet challenges.
 
oh i didn't make it in vim. i only mentioned it because of one of Lynn's recent answers. >.<
 
Hahahaha
 
ok bye
 
@Dennis so... what now?

@ConorO'Brien I don't know Ruby so I'm not sure what the problem is, but this is the error I'm getting.
reticular.rb:741:in `+': nil can't be coerced into Fixnum (TypeError)
        from reticular.rb:741:in `<main>'
 
what's your line 741? mine is while i < ARGV.size
 
It also requires cding into the interpreter's directory since it doesn't find the funcs.rb file otherwise. That's not important though.
 
and I honestly have no idea why that error would throw :P

Pretty much everything on the command line uses those quotes.

9:48 PM
Did that look right in some font once upon a time?
 
@ConorO'Brien I'm guessing unless nil == (argument =~ /^[-\/]/) is the problem. I pass an absolute path to the file, so it starts with /.
 
@Dennis well, that's for windows flag support
 
Linux paths start with /...
 
@Doorknob Nice termcast
 
@Lynn I'm demoing it to some friends :P
 
9:52 PM
You should type hi #sil to freak out my friends. :>
Perfectttt.
 
@ConorO'Brien None of this is an issue if I don't have to cd into the directory. Replacing load "funcs.rb" with require_relative 'funcs' should fix that.
@ConorO'Brien Made the change locally and \o/. reticular.tryitonline.net/…

@Dennis so require_relative instead of load?
 
Yes, without the extension.

@DJMcMayhem Does it habe to be in that order?
 
No, unordered is OK.
I'm looking through a couple different golflangs, and lots have 'Prime factors', but I can't find any that have "factor pairs".
 
@DJMcMayhem cheddar does (or will in 5 secs)
 
@DJMcMayhem There's no built-in if that's what you have in mind. You'd have to work with ÆD.
 
OK, no worries
 
10:16 PM
@Lynn I see, once upon a time indeed.
 
@Downgoat Considering the languages that are currently on Tio!, it doesn't seem worth the trouble. But once I get Python etc., I'll look i to it.
 
I'll probably do it in MATL then, since it hurts my brain less. :P

Do you actually know for sure that mathematica has a "Proth-number detecting" function?
 
It seems infeasible that it wouldn't...
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ @zyabin101 No problem. BTW, static content (like HTML/JS) is always cached and changes might take quite some time to roll out. If you need changes to apply immediately, ping me so I can kick the server into dev mode for a few hours.
BTW: New features in the YouTube API available now.

@Dennis Hmmm, 5 bytes

@mınxomaτ what is Turbo?
 
An organization.
 
oh so like zyabin's zyabinVI?
 
I don't think so. It's a local group of devs with serious projects. Most of the repos are private at Github atm.
