Are closures essentially currying?
 
I thought they would just be saved twice, once for each returned function, but instead both new functions access the same copy of the environment that has now gone out of scope
I think you can use them to implement currying
(I'm just learning about both, so don't take my word for anything...)
 
I guess they might be involved in currying but I don't know much about currying
 
Currying would be g()(4)
 
Which is a function returning a function
 
Yes. Except your example... is also a function returning a function?
 
4:09 PM
Which is also what a closure is
 
But it acts differently.
 
Well I can also call it like this. But then the scoping is different
 
iirc closure is a function that returns a function for the sake of portability, and currying is actually passing arguments from function to function
it's a semantics use I thought
 
I think you have that backwards
 
4:13 PM
With a closure the idea is you hold onto the scope. Your example modified
Or something like that, I don't know the exact words
 
@AdmBorkBork does PowerShell have something like GNU head?
 
CMC: Given the ID of a user, output how much more rep they need to unlock a new privilege
(Should output 0 for users with all the privilages)
 
@Pavel For beta or graduated priveleges levels?
 
PPCG ones.
That you can see on the table I linked
 
4:45 PM
The challenge would be more interesting if you got a rep number instead of an ID
Flashback to when I had 4,683 rep, lol
 
At least you've made the 15317 rep you need to keep your privileges
 
Hahaha, that's true. It's 0 now
 
@KritixiLithos that was really freaking fast o_O i checked my email at just the right time
I am one with the pull request and the pull requests are with me

@BasicSunset There are privileges at 20k and 25k also, once upgraded (the 4k/5k ones now).
 
@BasicSunset Yes it's holding onto scope that I was interested in. A function that returns two closures gives the same copy of the scope to both, so adjusting a variable captured by one closure modifies the same variable in the other closure (after the closures were created)

It's like having two functions that share a static variable

@Riker well, you're the one to have pulled all of my two PRs
btw are we supposed to update the version number with every commit?
 
yea :p
I'll do it in a moment
 
5:08 PM
That is terrifying
 
Needs more mountain goat.
 
@betseg Mmm, kinda. For piped input, no, because the "next command" in the pipeline doesn't execute until the previous command finishes. For getting lines from a file you can use something like Select-String coupled with a Select-Object to do like the -First 10 or something, but that's kinda more akin to a grep than a head.
 
I asked for the triangle challenge btw, to make it not break TIO
 
5:24 PM
Or use Bash
 
To make his answer safer, also the challenge is closed anyways
 
@betseg It doesn't really "break" TIO, it just consumes a lot of processing. DownChristopher said in a comment that he spoke with Dennis and it would be fine so long as we didn't all try to do it at once. Besides, if you just click the link and don't adjust anything, it'll hit the output cache (and I did a couple other similar-ish ones so they'd be cached, too, before I posted).
 
I know it doesn't break too, I was exaggerating
 
Why the hell would you sell a broken CPU?
 
user165474
5:32 PM
Sawing plexiglass smells horrible >_>
 
Woah, its atomic structure looks interesting
 
@mınxomaτ Someone might want to buy it, I had no other use for it.
 
Selling anything broken is the quickest way to get in trouble on ebay. Customers are always more stupid than you think.
 
What happens if they open a case?
@mınxomaτ What would they even do?
Here's a link to the listing, it clearly says "Bad" in the title!! ebay.com/itm/162418199607
Also, why would he not clean off the marker? I don't think thermal paste was used even
 
You can dispute it. But ebay doesn't really give any chance to undo a bogus review. If you've used PayPal, the customer can request a chargeback and there's hardly anything you can do. eBay and PayPal are just about the customers.
 
5:40 PM
And it's even $3 wtf who'd think that'd work
 
ughhh rip my ebay account
@mınxomaτ How else would you pay?
 
Bank transfer is the most common around here.
 
@mınxomaτ Bank transfer? In the US this isn't common, some transfers cost $25 and others are only for people in the same bank, there's no real, widely used, universal transfer system AFAIK. PayPal is what most ebay buyers use.
Some sellers only accept it.
 
> there's no real universal transfer system AFAIK
WTF? Of course there is. Basically every Bank is in SWIFT
 
Sorry, I accidentally wording
 
5:43 PM
SWIFT doesn't care about what Bank you have an account with. It's whole purpose is that you can send money to any account given it's IBAN.
 
What I meant is that for people looking to pay or transfer money, usually bank transfers aren't used.
 
If I owe a buddy money, I usually get cash, use paypal, write a check
Some people also use apps like venmo
 
Just searching "how to swift transfer" on google gives results for international wire transfers
 
@mınxomaτ I'm pretty sure IBAN doesn't exist in the US
Most everything here would be ACH
 
I guess. But using Paypal outside the EU is self-harm. Paypal non-EU doesn't have any securities or even a banking license. That means as soon as money enters a Paypal account, it's gone for all intents and purposes. Paypal can now do whatever they want, mostly imposing limits. And they have a loooong history of screwing sellers.
 
5:45 PM
@mınxomaτ Like me, I lost about $500 to them over a decade ago. Haven't used them since.
 
US does not have IBAN.
@AdmBorkBork Oh no, what happened?
 
@Mendeleev Sure they do.
> The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is the international standard for identifying international bank accounts across national borders.
 
They froze my account claiming "suspicious activity" or some crap, demanded a whole bunch of documentation, and when I supplied said documentation, the case was still closed with a "fraud confirmed" or some crap.
 
> The United States does not currently participate in IBAN. Therefore, Bank of America does not have an IBAN number.
@AdmBorkBork wat. did you try contacting them further?
 
@Mendeleev You can use an account number for the same purpose. IBAN is simply the account number, bank ID and a checksum.
You can extract all three from an IBAN and the other way around.
 
5:48 PM
@Mendeleev Yeah, after about 6 months I gave up and chalked it up as a life lesson.
 
Huh. Have moved a few money through PayPal and never had anything like that happen.
@HyperNeutrino Lasercutting it smells even worse
 
Here's a start for Paypal seller horror: hn.algolia.com/…
 
user165474
@Mendeleev Haha yeah, true.
 
I would be absolutely shocked if a local community bank had a way to internationally wire money.
 
@AdmBorkBork Large-ish credit union in my area: becu.org/support/wire-transfers
 
5:51 PM
@AdmBorkBork If the small local one doesn't, you could still use Western Union. It shady as hell, but still better than Paypal for sellers :D
@Mendeleev Looking at your eBay profile, one negative review won't hurt you much. You can respond to reviews inline for everyone to see. Make a calm, factual statement about what happened.
 
@Mendeleev Looks like they process through Wells Fargo.
 
@Mendeleev That's hilariously convoluted.
 
It's mostly because the US doesn't have any nationalized banking system; everything is up to the states or local communities.
 
SWIFT transfers here are really easy. Enter IBAN and amount. That's it. Takes one day, is trackable, it's free and there are exactly 0 fees of any kind for sellers or buyers.
 
If there's 0 fees, how could the bank make even more money for their shareholders?
 
5:56 PM
By investing money. That's how banks work.
 
Hah. Haha. Hahahahaha.
Not in the US they don't.
 
@mınxomaτ It will drop my score to "Below Average" levels, which means that my payments can get delayed up to 21 days (in PayPal "pending") for confirmation
 
"Free" checking (as in, no monthly fee and a free box of checks on a regular-ish basis) is a special perk offered to bank customers that have $x minimum balance.
 
Well that's some BS.
 
Don't have that? It's a $10 fee per month.
Oh. And $20 per check box.
And if you overdraft, it's $50, plus interest on the overdraft.
(example numbers, but I'm within the ballpark of how most banks operate)
 
5:58 PM
@AdmBorkBork never seen this, my account just declines the payment. Using Wells Fargo
 
My bank account is free. I get 10€ for every 1k€ of salary I get every month. I get 10€/m if I don't use the ATM more than two times. There are no fees for transfers, foreign currency, credit card, money card, NFC payment, cryptocurrency transfers or ATM usages.
 
Oh, don't even get me started on ATMs.
 
I can go to any bank and use their ATM w/o a fee. I think that's one of the few things special about my bank.
 
If you use a bank-branded ATM, it's likely free. If you use a "network" ATM, the bank will charge you a fee and the ATM owner will charge a fee. If you use an "out-of-network" ATM, you're lucky if it works at all.
 
If I'm abroad (mostly Taiwan), I can still use the cards and ATM w/o any fees.
 
6:01 PM
@mınxomaτ My account is free as well. I have no salary, so no idea there. No fees for intra-bank transfers. Debit card has no fees. NFC payment has no fees. Why would ATM ever have fees?
 
Same thing with Point of Sale terminals, because depending upon how the store has their "bank network" setup, it can be treated as an ATM transaction instead of a POS transaction.
 
@AdmBorkBork When I used my BECU account, I could go to any ATM in the CU network and get money there with no fees.
@AdmBorkBork Never seen this at all.
 
Yep.
 
Glad I don't have to care about networks or POS branding.
 
Not all banks, and it's a lot better now that most POS networks are all overlapping, but a couple decades ago it could be ugly. A $10 purchase at a store could cost you $20 out of your account.
 
6:03 PM
The US financial thing is really FU'd. We're only just adopting chip cards and people dislike them actively because they take longer to process.
 
And that's not even counting the "un-bank" things, like payday loans and check cashing services.
 
Recurring billables (rent, internet, mobile etc.) have an authorization (SEPA Mandate) to simply deduct money from my account when they need to. I can still block or undo these charges if there's an issue.
 
@AdmBorkBork Those should be illegal.
@mınxomaτ Auto-pay bills exist here as well
 
@AdmBorkBork Payday loans at my bank are interest-free. Haven't used them though.
 
Yeah, auto-pay bills are a thing. Automatic ACH transfers exist, too, but those are scarier because there's little immediate recourse for you if the ISP or whatever overbills you.
You're just out that money until the ISP or whatever gives it back.
 
6:05 PM
@Mendeleev The UK was really late adopting chip and PIN cards, and they've already been around there for years. They are now quicker than any other payment method as they introduce contactless ones you just wave as you walk past the checkout
 
@trichoplax Have that, too. Specifically:
Mar 29 at 21:29, by mınxomaτ
Well, my credit card is a combination (4 in 1) of (limited liability) credit card, chip&pin card, (the German tech known as) "money card" and wireless credit card (separate limit). I almost never carry cash, basically only this card, my ID and my health insurance card.
 
@trichoplax Those were actually moved away from in the US, because people had portable readers and were charging people by slapping their back pockets.
 
They are just starting to introduce this on a phone too, so you don't even need your card with you to pay or take out cash
 
@AdmBorkBork Isn't that how regular bills work?
@trichoplax Apple Pay has existed for years
 
Adoption is another thing.
 
6:07 PM
@Mendeleev Can you use it to take cash out from an ATM?
 
@Mendeleev No, because with electronic bills or paper bills, you can dispute the charges with the provider before the money is removed from your account.
 
@trichoplax IME my bank (Wells Fargo) has an app that gives you an access code, which you type into the ATM.
 
In the UK checkouts have only recently had tills compatible with phone payments
 
@AdmBorkBork Oh? I have never paid a bill so I would not know.
 
With an automatic ACH transfer, the electronic bill could be correct but the actual transfer could be wrong. I had a friend from college (who I've kept in touch with via Facebook) had an, I think electric company, misplace the decimal on the ACH transfer so he paid like $1234.50 instead of $123.45
 
6:10 PM
Could I get some help with this sandboxed challenge? It seems people want it to be language agnostic but I am not sure how that would work. Any ideas?

@BasicSunset Actually, 25K is necessary to keep total privileges.
Though most people don't use site analytics, I'd think, so 20K would be fine.
I hit 15K yesterday, so I'm getting there.

I would guess that Mono is more stable, since it's been around like a dozen years, whereas .NET Core has been around ... maybe a year?
I would also say that .NET Core is likely going to be the future, since Microsoft bought ... Xamarian? Xamirian? whatever Mono's company name is ... last year.

Hey there
 
@ckjbgames I was about to go close-vote and down-vote before I realized that New Main Posts didn't post this. lol
 
@AdmBorkBork It is a legitimate question... :):):)
Also, I made my first post on the Music Stack Exchange
plays trombone
also plays guitar
 
I played trombone for 12 yrs
 
8:35 PM
@ckjbgames I understood that reference
 
I played tuba for about ... 7
 
@mbomb007 It's fun
 
Practicing wasn't, though.
 
@AdmBorkBork I know someone who just switched to tuba!
@mbomb007 Yeah. Also, all my fellow trombone players (except the ones in honors band) are kinda, eh...
 
@ckjbgames Why did you reference ? Or am I missing some context
 
8:37 PM
I managed to keep up playing the piano for about 8 years, even had some solo live gigs. Nowadays I can hardly play.
 
@DJMcMayhem I just decided to
 
@ckjbgames Honestly, if someone made practicing into a video game, or gave people FUN songs to practice, they could get people to spend time doing it.
 
@DJMcMayhem I mean, they are...
 
@mbomb007 I do get to play rock music in band, tho...
 
8:39 PM
@DJMcMayhem ?
 
@DJMcMayhem Seriously.
 
@ckjbgames But that's group music. The solo music people have to practice for exercises or lessons are almost always bland. Sometimes they sound nice or cool, but they're definitely not familiar or fun.
 
@mbomb007 Yeah
 
8:41 PM
If I'd been given popular music to practice, I would've practiced.
 
I tried to get into the school's jazz band (in addition to the regular concert band), because the jazz band also did contests, and the band teacher was like "No, tubas can't be in jazz bands!" :-/
 
Practicing music becomes more fun as you get better and get to a point where you can play the music you like
 
@DJMcMayhem That's honors band!
@AdmBorkBork ;-;
 
@AdmBorkBork Google "jazz tuba"
 
I am in honors band and there are only 3 other trombones
@mbomb007 :)
 
8:43 PM
@mbomb007 Oh, I know. He apparently didn't.
 
@ckjbgames I never did band in High-school. I played with a lot of bands, but not school band or anything like that. I just did music on my own
 
Also, the most amazing tuba song in existence. MUST WATCH!

Elementary school guitar was so boring.
 
We had to play nylon string classical guitars and read treble clef instead of tabs. It sicked.
Oh wow. Funnee typoe on me partt.

@AdmBorkBork Yep, generally classical guitars have nylon strings and you'll read sheet music. Acoustic guitars have steel strings, and generally you would avoid sheet music at all costs
Acoustics are generally more popular
 
@Pavel The industrial series looks better because it is all black and grey
 
Also, I just realized I said generally three times in two messages.

@DJMcMayhem Why would you avoid sheet music?
 
I have really shitty fans
But they have full RGB control
So it evens out
 
I had naïvely assumed that all non-electric guitars were acoustic.
 
Well classical guitars are acoustic too.
 
Right
But like, if I saw a classical guitar, I would have called it an acoustic guitar before today
 
*invents pneumatic guitar*

@Mendeleev Uhm.... Just cause it's a weird combination? Idk how to really explain it
 
I mean, technically, an electric guitar is acoustic at some point, too, else it's pretty pointless to play.
 
Well sure... :P
 
@DJMcMayhem How?
@Pavel That's called a flute
 
Microsoft keeps releasing dev builds for Windows that break Crossfire and AMD keeps releasing drivers which bring Crossfire back.
 
@Mendeleev It would be like writing an operating system in Python. There's not reason you can't or shouldn't, it just wouldn't feel right, ya know?

@AdmBorkBork classical !== acoustic
 
I just got to the 'I have crossfire' part of this cycle, and can now play Witcher 3
 
One reason is because acoustic guitar is frequently used for pop-rock music where you would just play chords or finger picking which would have chord charts/tabs respectively.
It's really difficult to write out strumming patterns in sheet music
 
@Pavel Microsoft is really good at breaking things.
 
@DJMcMayhem First, create a CPU that natively runs Python...
 
Central Python Unit

All this guitar talk makes me want to share some impressive guitarists.
I present to you, Hot Capo Stew
 
It makes me want to play Guitar Hero III. On easy.
 
@DJMcMayhem I'm attempting to write a minimal OS mostly using Ruby. I would make a minimal Linux kernel, compile mruby, and base everything else on that.l
Maybe use MRI and compile extensions for native access.
