Has anybody used CMake here?
 
Anonymous
@NathanMerrill Me, somewhat
 
I know what I want, but I think CMake might be the tool I want, but I don't totally understand it
so, I'm working on KotHCommServer
One of the phases of this is that the server is going to download from a git repo your controller
and I need some way for me to build your controller as well as run it
I used to do something very similar with the original KotHComm (download submissions, and run a txt file)
but I'd run into cross-platform issues, and it felt really messy
so, my primary questions are:
1. Can just run a cmake file and have it build a gradle/java or node/npm project?
2. How easy can I make this for people writing a controller?
 
Anonymous
If you're building submissions on a server, you need to enforce that submissions are buildable/runnable on the server, so cross-platform problems are on the submitter, not you
 
Anonymous
Also you could just require that submissions include a script to build and run the submission
 
by submission, you mean controller submissions?
 
Anonymous
2:12 AM
Yeah, both the controllers and the answers
 
yeah, answers are pretty much solved now. I basically make it so that answers are compiled by the controller itself. I don't build them at all
controllers are the big question now, because I'm back to square one. I've done the script route, and I've had several issues with it
for example, I've had problems where a certain program was "sample", but needed to be "sample.bat" on windows
and often times, I would need to run multiple commands, so I'd split by newline. But the last command would be the command that starts the process?
that all just felt hacky and messy
I've gotten it to work before, I'm sure I could do it again
I was just hoping for a more standardized solution
 
Anonymous
2:26 AM
Having a cmake project for each controller is basically a glorified script
 
3:04 AM
@Pavel Out of curiosity, are you planning on using Attache, or were you just passing by the repo? :)
 
@ConorO'Brien I mean, I've toyed around with it, but I haven't actually made anything using it.
 
ah, alright. well, thanks for experimenting with it! tell me if there's anything you'd think would be beneficial to add
 
Sure thing

... that's possible with comments. I can't see any way such that Python code can contains <error>\n'''\n<error>\n"""\n<error>\n.
Not having newline looks good.
 
It's doable in languages that support nested /* */ or similar comments

DennisASCII characters are all Unicode characters with code points from 0x00 to 0x7F (both inclusive).

Ah, didn't know about that.

Yes it is. Line comment.

Oh right, because no newlines
Here I was trying to do #if 0 / #endif trickery
 
(and then you will face the #endif\n#error\n#if 0)

12:46 PM
@EriktheOutgolfer Regarding this, I just tried to (re)implement the interpreter in Python and it works as expected. I guess the Javascript interpreter is buggy.
First, having \\n in a regex is almost always wrong. So a \n is converted to a <br> and a newline stays a newline. (...)
Also, the string.replace converts the charreplace to a regex without escaping it (wrong)
Because of all the characters after a -, only * and $ are special as a regex,
Replacing all * by X and $ by @ almost works.
Except that the interpreter has another bug, that is, the &nbsp should be &nbsp;.

@betseg Unless the sequence starts with A, in which case you'd have a blank entry at the start, which is presumably not wanted.
You'd want something like "1A" replace with "1\nA"
 
But A\nA?
s/.A/\1\nA/g?
 
@betseg Doesn't it need to be (.)?
 
Yeah, it's slightly more complicated than it seems at first glance. Not hugely so, but a little bit.
 
@betseg Hm, that replaces AAA with A\nAA but it should be A\nA\nA, no?

Does anybody else find the Jelly Tutorial on the wiki hard to follow?
 
@Adám yup oops
 
@NieDzejkob tbf, it is talking about Jelly.
 
@NieDzejkob I did. I gave up on the tutorial and just started experimenting with commands.
 
yes
 
@NieDzejkob ... somewhat.
I find myself having missed some parts of tutorial despite reading it. Try reading some of the Jelly programs first (before trying to write one).
Although... unfortunately although it's correct, it does not explain why the rules are like that, which is the most important.
So,

Let <I> be anything that has the same arity as the current link.
(for example `ß`). v = current value, x/y: left/right argument.

{intuitive part}
* monad F: v -> F(v)
* dyad f: v -> v f y
* dyad/nilad pair: (f n) : f n -> v f n, n f -> n f v

{not so intuitive part}
* fork: f I -> v f (x I y)
Also pay attention to the 3-dyad part and the leading nilad chain.
@EriktheOutgolfer <cont.> Also the string is HTML'ified while substitution, so using & as a replacement would break the &nbsp.
Overall, this almost works.

@user202729 Adám just edited the tags. The OP edited the question themselves
> ær: Round $x$ to the nearest multiple of $10^{-y}$
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing That's the most significant thing to be changed. The tag includes the winning criteria, which determines whether the post is on-topic.
 
3:01 PM
Yay, I came up with the same answer as Dennis.
 
The linked meta says
> Stop editing programming questions to make them on-topic
 
@user202729 I disagree. If the entire post if perfectly clear and on-topic, but the tags are absolute nonsense, should we vote to close? Of course not, we edit the tags
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Matches the description of Python's round. docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#round
 
Tag edit is an edit, and it makes the post on-topic.
 
> questions
Not tags
 
3:02 PM
The OP nowhere mentions the winning criteria in the post itself.
 
@Dennis So if $y$ is -1, then it rounds $x$ to the nearest multiple of 10. Ok, I get it now
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Tag edit is an edit.
It gets specialized only until you get the [tag edit privilege].
(or should I post a meta answer so people can vote on it?)
 
I believe that, in that question, the OP made the necessary modifications to make it on-topic. Adám just made the final few tag edits, which the OP missed. They didn't edit it to make it on-topic, they edited the final few bits to make it clear.
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing I don't think revision 2 is on-topic.
 
Would you consider it to be on topic as it currently is? The winning criteria needs to be explicitly stated, not just included as a tag.
 
3:16 PM
Oh great, I should close it now.
 
You could've just mentioned that the criteria need be included, then waited a bit for them to edit it in.
 
Before that, just VTC. When they're edited in the vote can simply be retracted.
That's why votes can be retracted -- when the post is improved. Meta.
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing I used to include This is so shortest code wins. but I now find it unnecessarily bulky, so for pure code golfs, I rely on the tag.
 
Meanwhile ~ I believe that ... wait a minute.
> Stop editing programming questions to make them on-topic
In this case, it happens that:
1. It's edited, but no more on-topic
2. People VTRO it
Hm...?
 
I could sit here and argue with you about what to do regarding that question, but it really doesn't matter, and is just a waste of time. How about we move onto a different topic of conversation?

TBF, the only card game I played (not counting poker/blackjack games) as a kid was Pokémon :P
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing which game does it refer to?
 
@Cowsquack I know diddly squat about either, so you choose :P
 
@AdmBorkBork Am I correct in thinking that Hearthstone/MtG are both like dominion except that you end up building your deck through buying individual cards for real money?
 
@DJMcMayhem HERESY
 
@DJMcMayhem They share some similar themes. In the case of Hearthstone, at least, you can earn cards simply by playing the game and not need to spend any money. Similar to how you can unlock skins in Overwatch without spending any money.
 
7:17 PM
OK. But the general theme is a deck-builder but each players deck is persistent and unique?
 
@DJMcMayhem MtG is much more complex gamewise(?)
 
Is that a question? I've never played either one so I don't know
 
@J.Sallé yes, especially because hearthstone was made to be quick and easy to play
 
I don't know if gamewise is a word
I've been playing magic for over 15 years now >.>
 
yugioh is an simpler version of mtg, but I guess it is most relatable to hearthstone
 
7:19 PM
Is it bad that I don't know what MtG stands for?
 
Also mtg has more play formats. Hearthstone has Standard, Wild, Brawl (if you consider that a format) and Arena, which is basically a draft
@cairdcoinheringaahing Magic: the Gathering
Also mtg has a slight lead on those games since its completing 25 years this year.
 
@DJMcMayhem Rather than having a set selection of cards that everyone builds their deck from, each player has their own personal collection of cards and builds their own personal deck from that collection, then they play that deck.
 
What BorkBork said.
 
@J.Sallé yeah hearthstone is really new, but yugioh is pretty old too, 1999 according to wikipedia
 
Also magic has some formats in which specific cards are banned from play.
 
7:22 PM
Nominally, the personal collections are similar-ish enough that the outcome of any game is down to tactics, but in practice you can "buy" your way to victory with MtG and not really with deckbuilding games.
 
@J.Sallé do you mean like hearthstone's wild vs classic?
 
@Cowsquack Yeah, but I think YGO has had a much more linear development over the years. Magic just went all over the place
@Cowsquack Kind of. For example, Magic has a "Legacy" format in which you can technically play with every card ever printed, but there's also a banlist of cards that you cannot play regardless.
 
MtG thankfully has its Type-II format (is it still even called Type-II?) that helps prevent power creep and keeps the game fresh.
 
@AdmBorkBork it's called standard nowadays, but it's the same thing.
 
what is that?
 
7:25 PM
Shows how long ago I last played.
 
@Cowsquack Standard is a format in which only the 3 latest blocks are legal for playing
 
block being set of cards?
 
Each block usually contains 3 sets (or expansions)
 
Or two, more recently.
 
Each with about 160-260 cards, it depends. So the card pool is somewhere around 700-900 cards
@AdmBorkBork yes, but that's been changed again back to the old rotation because players were complaining a lot
Also, the last 2 or 3 standard rotations have been pretty bad. Wizards had to ban some cards that were just too good.

Uh, no?
Bugle's point is to be made by random people submitting answers, not described

@Cowsquack I'm providing a complete spec of Bugle in the first answer, along with the interpreter. I feel as though including it might take up space in the post, and will get out of date quite fast

other than that, I think it is fine

@AdmBorkBork I'm curious about the -1, but honestly don't have the effort to post a comment, which the downvoter won't see, asking them why. sighs
 
With 20+ comments, it might have already been addressed, too.
Welp, I'm ready for a snowpocalypse tomorrow/Saturday. Weather forecasting is predicting between 3" and 24" of snow, depending upon what time the temperature gets cold enough for snowfall rather than rain.

@cairdcoinheringaahing I don't know about you (or Adm) but at least round here in Colorado, it seems like there's more snow in March/April then the rest of the winter

CAD97This is an ascii-art CC-BY-SA problem from CCSC Mid-South Programming Contest 2018, that I found enjoyable. I think there are probably a good deal of code-golf optimization opportunities available as well. The original statement used MathJax for math rendering, so any suggestions on how to refor...

 
Hmm, I'm about to pass Alex on the overall rep board.
 
Pass him in TNB stars :P
 
cracks knuckles Let's do this.
@DJMcMayhem I am in the top 15 and only 3010 stars behind him. That's not insurmountable.
I just need to more than double the amount of stars I currently have.

ScroobleMake a Walsh Matrix code-golf math matrix A Walsh matrix is a special kind of square matrix with applications in quantum computing (and probably elsewhere, but I only care about quantum computing). Properties of Walsh matrices The dimensions are the same power of 2. Therefore, we can refer to...

Q: Is the program 32 or 64 bits?

sergiolAssignment is simple to explain: write the shortest code you need to determine whether an executable binary program supplied as parameter is 32 or 64 bits. If there is a different kind of bitness, you can also do for it, but is not mandatory. What I really don't want is telling me you support o...
