I made my own, it's okay. And there still aren't docs.

I have no idea how to write docs of this scale.

@VoteToReopen that's just Seriously/Actually. Seriously as a language only exists for a pun.

@ATaco well if the stdlib is also in funky, add doc-comments to everything and autogenerate docs.

At the very least give a guide on syntax and list the available functions so people can try to tell by the name.

Yeah, right now i'm having a look at readthedocs, to see if I can do something somewhat usable.

@ATaco I went to the main page and found Funky. Heh.

> Welcome to Read the Docs
This is an autogenerated index file.

Yeah, I'm working on that.

12:24 AM

CMP: What's the most stupid (according to you) code you have written?

not everything has to be a chat mini something

Hey, I'm only following suit. :P

I really just wanna see some stupid code.

I'll start with something fairly stupid: n>1 and ... or [0, 1][n]

@VoteToReopen Everything that comes to mind for me is just me doing something that's considered bad practice (like writing a python program without defining a single class or function), but I don't really have any intresting examples. However, a friend of mine once had the problem of not wanting to resize arrays in Java, and he didn't know how many objects the array would contain, leading to new Object[Integer.MAX_VALUE]

@VoteToReopen code that prints simply "I lost the game"

*claps*

12:35 AM

@Pavel The objects in question (they weren't actually Object but I don't remember what the type name was) also knew about this array. By copy, not reference. Every onject in the array also had a Object[Integer.MAX_VALUE].

12:55 AM

@VoteToReopen I was just starting out in C++, and I hadn't yet fully grasped the concept of arrays, and I definitely hadn't yet grasped the concept of std::vector and friends. Cue m00, m01, m02, m03, ..., m10, m11, m12, m13, ....

@VoteToReopen this

Lame. Wait, that isn't a regular rickroll...

TFW you think someone rickrolled you but they actually rickrolled you indirectly.

1:17 AM

yes

it's the the stupidest thing I've coded

damn. You got me

does anyone here know much about audio/music theory?

@ATaco: I must admit neither I nor my math instructor ever solved it.

@LuisMendo might be able to help you out

@ConorO'Brien me, or Joshua?

1:32 AM

you

maybe both but primarily you

I'll keep that in mind

@ATaco: "sudo mv / /www" Now that's where actually logging in as root is superior to sudo; that mistake is within reach of reversing if a root shell is already up. "cd /www ; usr/lib/klibc/bin/mv * /" and now put what belongs in www back

@Pavel I finished writing the documentation for all the globals.

@HyperNeutrino: Boring. I keep a backup of /dev in a tarball.

Cool

@EricTressler I took a few relevant courses in college

@EricTressler: I'm having trouble seeing how that test doesn't find the simple harmonic series convergent.

@ATaco I think you forgot to push, I'm still seeing the mostly blank "Hello, World!"

I haven't pushed intentionally.

1:38 AM

I did sudo rm -f /dev/null once and my computer stopped responding after a while.

@Mego do you have any idea what the general description of, say, a flute's C is in terms of compositions of pure tones?

@ATaco Ah

yeah lots of stuff doesn't like a missing /dev/null. you won't be able to unhang terminals very easily after that mistake

is it, for example, a pure C with extra tones at pleasant fractions around C, or Cs of other octaves mixed in, or random noise added to a C, or ...?

@HyperNeutrino To my vast dissapointment, mv /dev/null ~ caused it to become a regular empty file instead of acting like the normal /dev/null

1:40 AM

don't mv across devices unless you like surprises

I want to finish writing the libraries before my push.

Anonymous

@EricTressler IIRC from physics courses, it should be mostly comprised of the note, the upper octaves of the note (where the amplitude is 1/(2N) for N octaves above the base note), and a small contribution from fifths.

@Mego that's exactly what I wanted to know, thank you!

Anonymous

I know that stringed instruments mostly work that way, and so since wind instruments are very similar in terms of mechanics (with the air as the medium instead of the string), it shouldn't differ too much

the harmonic overtones for strings and wind (especially flute) are quite different...

I can ask my friend about this one; he knows sound mechanics way better than I do.

1:43 AM

@HyperNeutrino if you can give me other ideas, I would like to test them out too

Anonymous

@HyperNeutrino The basic physics is very similar, but with strings you get additional overtones other than just the 5th

What are you trying to do?

@Mego yeah. basically it's just a note and a bunch of other random stuff mixed in :P

I wrote a barebones audio synthesizer and i'm playing around with it

ooh cool

general suggestions: only add fifths, fourths, and octaves above the principal note :P

maybe thirds but that can sound weird sometimes

Anonymous

Since a flute is a half-open metal tube with resonating air, the other overtones destructively interfere with each other, leading to them not really contributing much

1:44 AM

if you want, you can play around with adding really quiet and high up other things like seconds, tritones, etc

I'm also trying to figure out whether my discrete fourier transform code is screwy or not, but I don't think anyone else can help me with that one

Anonymous

Regardless, you can fake a flute pretty easily with just octaves and fifths - IIRC it's one of the easiest instruments to synthesize

no tuning forks are easier /s (they're not instruments, ik ik :P)

what's the hardest then? o_O

(maybe timpani? no idea actually)

Anonymous

@HyperNeutrino Probably euphonium out of the typical concert wind instruments

hm maybe

Anonymous

1:48 AM

Timpani should be pretty simple - they're drums made out of a skin with tension over a resonance chamber, which is basically an intro physics problem :P

There are too many math functions ;-;

...

I just understood ;-;

For the longest time, I thought those were arms...

so when we talk about fifths, are we talking about C*(3/2)^n, or C*3/2, 2C*3/2, 4C*3/2, ...

@Mego oh rly? lol

well a fifth above a note C is C*2^(7/12)

or really you could just say C*1.5 but it might sound a bit weird

so fifths are I guess C*2^(k+7/12) for integers k

anyway brb o/

Anonymous

@EricTressler 3/2 ratio

1:56 AM

@Mego right, but the second fifth, is it the fifth of the fifth of C, or the fifth of the octave of C --- (3/2)*(3/2)*C or (3/2)*2*C

Anonymous

@EricTressler It should be (3/2)*2*C - though the fifth of the fifth would also sound, it would be so faint that it would barely contribute to the total note. It's simpler to just base everything off of the root note.

ok

eh

it's impossible to say what a fifth is

without mentioning what tuning you're using

HyperNeutrino is referring to

Equal temperament

An equal temperament is a musical temperament, or a system of tuning, in which the frequency interval between every pair of adjacent notes has the same ratio. In other words, there are equal ratios of the frequencies of any adjacent pair, and, since pitch is perceived roughly as the logarithm of frequency, equal perceived "distance" from every note to its nearest neighbor. In equal temperament tunings, the generating interval is often found by dividing some larger desired interval, often the octave (ratio 2:1), into a number of smaller equal steps (equal frequency ratios between successive notes...

but for example in Pythogarean tuning

Pythagorean tuning

Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are based on the ratio 3:2. This ratio, also known as the "pure" perfect fifth, is chosen because it is one of the most consonant and easiest to tune by ear and because of importance attributed to the integer 3. As Novalis put it, "The musical proportions seem to me to be particularly correct natural proportions." Alternatively, it can be described as the tuning of the syntonic temperament in which the generator is the ratio 3:2 (i.e., the untempered perfect fifth), which is 702 cents wide. The system...

it's exactly 3/2

Anonymous

For physics purposes, Pythagorean tuning is preferred

jsdoc is making this much easier.

Here's a pretty useful site for flute acoustics

@EricTressler Also don't ask me about reed instruments. I've played clarinet for 10 years, and the only thing I understand well about their workings is that reeds are evil.

reeds are great D: except when you leave them for a while and then blow into it and it sprays spit everywhere :D

Anonymous

At the end of each concert season in high school, all of the reed players would take their broken and crappy reeds and burn them in a large fire. It was very satisfying.

Anonymous

@HyperNeutrino Reeds are more temperamental than the teenagers using them in high school bands

@Mego that sounds fun :D our school does it with broken cellos

(I've never gotten to see one IRL though because I haven't gone to any of the music retreats lol)

@Mego haha yes from my experience you're playing it and then you touch it slightly wrong and it breaks into like 10 pieces (slightly exaggerating but yk :P)

Anonymous

@HyperNeutrino They usually don't physically break, but they do like to give out in the middle of using them :P

2:29 AM

yes :P

that's why during concerts I always have a spare, or during the musical last year, like 3 spares all of different thicknesses :P

Anonymous

I usually carried 2 spares during concerts - one slightly harder, and one slightly softer

ah I see

yeah I used to only use 2.5 and then I started using 3 and it was much better IMO

Anonymous

Marching band was nice - the crowd/judges couldn't hear us anyway, so lower-quality reeds were fine

I usually only carried 2.5 if I needed low tones

@Mego HA "couldn't hear us anyway" lol

Anonymous

I used 3-3.5 for marching band and 4 for concert band

2:31 AM

I've never done marching band stuff before (my only chance would have been my cadet band but that didn't start up until last year and they didn't march anyway and I couldn't join it because of my rank)

I don't get how people would prevent the mouthpiece from jumping around randomly and making weird sounds :P

Anonymous

It's all in the marching style

:P

Anonymous

Marching band isn't just walking around while playing an instrument - you use one of several deliberate step styles to keep an even tone

ooh interesting

(also my one friend who also plays clarinet is flat half the time because he holds his clarinet at the wrong angle or something like that - I know another people who plays clarinet as his (probably) main instrument so that's helpful :D)

Anonymous

A lot of high school marching bands in my area used what's called the "bicycle step" - lifting your knees up and planting your foot down flat

Anonymous

2:34 AM

My director thought that looked stupid (he's correct), and so he taught us the DCI style of marching, which is much more physically difficult but looks nice and produces smoother steps/sound

hm interesting. from intuition it would seem that it's ideal to like "jolt" (?) as little as possible

is that correct or totally off?

Anonymous

That's pretty correct

yay

I have played clarinet for like little over 2 years now, 4 counting bass clarinet

Oh, I don't have a string.sub method...

but that was middle school stuff so didn't really learn much in school :P learned most of my altissimo range when I got bored at home though :P

@ATaco hm might be useful :P

I've got a sublist function, that's all I need. :P

Glide step is what the nicer style is called

hm interesting

who knew walking could be so complicated xD

2:58 AM

I want to say that I regret picking 6 as the perl to learn, due to all the weirdness, but I don't know wether or not perl5 is even weirder.

anyway gtg o/

Lovely, sub declares a function in the global scope, method declares on in the scope of a class, submethod is, therefore, the equivalent of Java's final.

because e¢$ makes a monadic chain e¢ so eÇ as a monadic chain would work too, plus the helper link doesn't use any implied stuff until the first µ

@EriktheOutgolfer Does that mean that using dyadic Ç would work as well (don't have TIO/quicks open)

I don't think so

then I think the e will first execute and then the ç separately

caird coinheringaahing

Yep, doesn't work

yeah, I think <L>fg<R> is g(f(L, R), R)

not sure tho

Has show/hide preview on SE been there forever and I've been blind or is it new?

@Mr.Xcoder It's always been there

Dang I am so blind...

@Mr.Xcoder To be fair, it isn't obvious

The next OEIS sequence seems to be not too hard. (but related to graph again)

Erik the Outgolfer

Oh? Cool, thanks :D

that is, either with ¥ appended or at the very start of a dyadic chain

@Adám I searched Adám and yours was the only one highlighted, but it came up for non-highlighted users as well. Weird.

In fact, I get the same result with Adá

@cairdcoinheringaahing Same with dám. I think it only begins looking at 3 chras.

Anyone up for a bit of JHT?

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder I should be good for 30 mins

I've set a CMC there
