@cairdcoinheringaahing Are you not glad we have version control?

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, I like having version control. I just prefer to code locally then just publish all my code at the end

Unrelated String

you know you can

use a local repo

caird coinheringaahing

4:05 PM

That seems like overkill :P

Unrelated String

which is what you're doing anyways if you're pushing stuff to github

you can just choose not to push very frequently

Razetime

Yeah I like VCS
V
Codegolf
SRickroll

hyper-neutrino

using git just to have a linear revision history is honestly a) not that hard b) not really all that useful either

caird coinheringaahing

Surely the V is for Vyxal?

hyper-neutrino

IMO the main strength of git is branches

otherwise you may as well just copy-paste your file into "file.txt.backup" lol

caird coinheringaahing

4:07 PM

Yea, if I'm the only one working on my code, I can remember what changes I've made

Razetime

@cairdcoinheringaahing no, V(vim)

caird coinheringaahing

Kind of. I may need to reread the code to remember them :P

Razetime

but not vlang

vlang is garbage

N3buchadnezzar

Did anyone now they remastered the video into 4k? I am not joking

caird coinheringaahing

No, you're N3buchadnezzar

Razetime

4:08 PM

ah yeah there was a really smooth version going around

pxeger

@Razetime you saw the hackernews thread too?

Razetime

@pxeger nah i just root around the esolangs discord where they talk about the creator's questionable practices

and how the thing is just a string substitution into C

Aaron Miller

@cairdcoinheringaahing But git is really nice when, say, I don't know, working on some hypothetical golfing-related project whose name is related to that of someone who likes showing people some guy who sang some song that went viral.

Razetime

and so on

honestly the only times i go on ycombinator are when an apl thread pops up

caird coinheringaahing

@AaronMiller Yeah, I suppose so. Given that Jelly isn't exactly in active dev, I'd have more things to be interested in than the differences between my code and any potential update :P

Aaron Miller

Apparently the domain λ.com costs a crapton

N3buchadnezzar

I use git becaues it is so gosh darn fast pushing changes to GitHub. git add ... git commit -c "..." git push

Unrelated String

@N3buchadnezzar it's kind of uncanny when you see little bits of motion blur that wouldn't be there in something that was actually filmed at that resolution and framerate

Razetime

@AaronMiller https://λ.land is owned by a fellow codegolfer

pxeger

@xash

Aaron Miller

@N3buchadnezzar You can golf git add . git commit -c "..." down to git commit -ac "..."

hyper-neutrino

4:15 PM

i usually have push "..." aliased to git add --all && git commit -m "..." && git push lol

N3buchadnezzar

@AaronMiller Git add . you are a brave man, I guess you have aliased rm into rm -rf too? :p

But yeah, git is totally different when you are alone or part of some group

pxeger

lol sorry

I suddenly realised [[ ]] would be ambiguous if [] were used for lists, so I can't use it that way round and my answer has been decided already

and actually, tbh, I can't use (( )) or {{ }}, so maybe it would be better for consistency if I used [| |] {| |} (| |)

N3buchadnezzar

Yeah, I think so too

pxeger

with the idea being that then I can have special syntax for tuples and dicts and stuff

i@pxeger Imagine using :wq instead of ZQ smhZQ

pxeger

@AaronMiller aZQ doesn't save your changes, you need to use ZZZZ

Aaron Miller

lol that's the joke

hyper-neutrino

don't you need to press <esc> to enter the :wq

in which case your entire message would just be ":wq"

caird coinheringaahing

Chat.SE is the best text editor

pxeger

4:46 PM

that wouldn't make a very good joke though

hyper-neutrino

also, i prefer :q! - the ! means it's very important that vim saves your data

N3buchadnezzar

@hyper-neutrino This assumes you are in insert mode, which you never should be xD

hyper-neutrino

@N3buchadnezzar well pxeger's message starts with i so... :p

also how tf do you type if not in insert mode

caird coinheringaahing

Append mode

hyper-neutrino

oh wait you don't type when programming, you just ctrl-c ctrl-v or whatever those are in vim

y and something

pxeger

4:47 PM

@hyper-neutrino :nnoremap ii <esc>r

caird coinheringaahing

> Ɠ and ɠ now return [] when the input is empty, and #, (, ¡ and Ð¡ will use 0 if empty input is read

bold of you to assume i know what on earth that means lmao

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino From my fork :P

N3buchadnezzar

@hyper-neutrino Coding is basically just copy paste, no need to enter insert mode

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing wouldn't 1 be more useful for #?

Aaron Miller

4:48 PM

@hyper-neutrino I only use Replace mode to type in vim

@pxeger I thought peopple prefered jj or jk or kj?

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Ooh, actually that could be OP and lead to some weird chains

hyper-neutrino

@pxeger lol wtf

pxeger

("now you just have to press i before every character")

((that took way too long to type out))

hyper-neutrino

4:49 PM

also why are 5 of the last 6 messages not sent by me pinging me (ignoring messages ninja'ing me)

caird coinheringaahing

Plus it would remove the need for ( (which is just 1#)

Oh, what about ( being ) but that allows chaining?

hyper-neutrino

oh you have ( do 1#?

although, # takes last input right? or does last input have to be argument 5 or later

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah

@hyper-neutrino # takes the last input, which is the last CLA if there are CLAs, otherwise it reads a line from STDIN

hyper-neutrino

ah, so if your program isn't a nilad, it still needs to manually specify an argument for #?

caird coinheringaahing

So if # defaults to 1, then Ɠ...# as a nilad chain would work

pxeger

4:51 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Contributor Licence Agreement? the FSF now officially disapproves of Jelly

caird coinheringaahing

And, it would allow you to do ...µ# with no inputs to find the first integer such that chain is true

Q: A "cheating" quine

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. So here goes. In the Wikipedia page for quine, it says that "a quine is considered to be 'cheating' if it looks at its own source code." Your task is to make one of these "cheating quines" that reads its own source code. This is code-golf, so the shortest co...

N3buchadnezzar

I was wondering about how ATO does the inputs and whether languages supports arguments and not. I think it would be cleaner if this was specified in the header instead of having a long line of /ATO/yargs % /ATO/arguments /usr/local/bin/jelly fun /ATO/code % < /ATO/input this

pxeger

@N3buchadnezzar whether it supports arguments and stuff is not specified at all; it needs to be in the header when I implement it. What you read above is just a more robust way of writing /usr/local/bin/jelly fun $@ /ATO/code < /ATO/input where $@ have been somehow magically read from /ATO/arguments

caird coinheringaahing

Good to see that Jelly on ATO is fun :P

N3buchadnezzar

4:56 PM

@pxeger Cant it be specified in languages?

pxeger

yes it will be

N3buchadnezzar

Sorry my English is bad :p That is what I meant, good you are thinking the same

pxeger

wait, do you mean github.com/attempt-this-online/languages ?

N3buchadnezzar

Yes?

pxeger

oh

well sort of, I want to merge the ideas of runners and the stuff in that repo eventually

N3buchadnezzar

4:58 PM

# options = false, # flag = fun ... Or something

pxeger

that's not flexible enough

consider a compiled language, where the options and arguments go to separate commands; one to the compiler and one to the binary itself

or Java, where the file needs to be named the same as the class inside: how do you do that step?

N3buchadnezzar

Uugh

hyper-neutrino

ew java

user

@pxeger You can run java Foo.java to make it compile and run on its own (without first running javac Foo.java and then java Foo)

hyper-neutrino

the proper solution is to not corrupt ATO with java

user

5:01 PM

Same with scala Foo.scala

Aaron Miller

I can't get to ATO while I'm at work since it gets blocked by our firewall. It gets blocked by geolocation because it's in Finland.

pxeger

@user but if Foo.java contains class Bar {...}, that won't work will it?

user

@pxeger It should iirc

pxeger

@AaronMiller I can move it easily to Germany, would that solve your problem?

user

As long as Bar contains a main method, of course

Aaron Miller

5:02 PM

@pxeger Probably not

hyper-neutrino

wait how fast can you travel /s

user

@AaronMiller Is it because Finland's imaginary?

pxeger

well it's complicated to move it anywhere else unfortunately

the provider, Hetzner, is the best option for my use case but they only have Finland and Germany

Aaron Miller

@user Yeah, our firewall only allows real countries

Revamping the reopening process, looks amazing!

Redwolf Programs

The substantial edit option looks awesome

Unrelated String

ooh

caird coinheringaahing

I know :D If they're adding it for this, they might expand it to including bumping

hyper-neutrino

wow, very nice

i was just gonna bring ^^ up too :P

Redwolf Programs

Leave closed reasons look good too

N3buchadnezzar

5:45 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing I love how their example is about how to close vim

caird coinheringaahing

Plus, close reasons can now be modified if the question should stay closed but for a different reason :D

> If a significant edit fails to reopen a question, users will now have an opportunity to continue to rework and edit their question and have it reviewed multiple times. Reviewers will not be able to see the same question twice in the Reopen votes queue.

hyper-neutrino

hm, not sure how I feel about the last part of that

caird coinheringaahing

Damn, that could've been a way to get more RO reviews :/

I think it makes sense, especially on larger sites

hyper-neutrino

to be fair, if a reviewer rejects a reopen and wants to monitor it because they think someone/OP can fix it but just missed the mark a bit, they can just follow it

and this prevents getting an inflated number of reviews in terms of queue stats/progress, i guess

Redwolf Programs

That's true. Maybe adding a button to the "leave closed" option to make following easier would be good.

caird coinheringaahing

5:49 PM

Yeah. It's not like it prevents users from keeping an eye on a repeatedly edited closed question, but it also allows for fresh eyes on a question

hyper-neutrino

actually drafting an FR for that rn :p

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino I mean, none of the last four suggestions (other than maybe fgitwing the bug report) were easy

hyper-neutrino

lol, fair

user

@RedwolfPrograms You get rep, it just happens to be rep that you previously owned

Perhaps bribing someone would be easy if you were rich enough

hyper-neutrino

I don't see how bribing someone would really work though... ?

Redwolf Programs

6:02 PM

Just have them add some code that makes old unused accounts upvote your posts ten or so times a day.

user

@hyper-neutrino Apply for a job, bribe the interviewer, get hired, announce features as an employee

hyper-neutrino

ah

user

@RedwolfPrograms That works too, although ten times sounds a bit sus

hyper-neutrino

yeah, still not easy even if you are rich

Redwolf Programs

@user ten or so times, make it vary between 8 and 18 or something like that

I doubt people would notice

user

6:04 PM

Alternatively, you could ~~bribe~~ lobby Congressmen to pass a wacky law to let users change their reputation/score/points on sites such as SE

@RedwolfPrograms Even that sounds sus, unless you post very consistently

Redwolf Programs

If somebody were to see your posts with lots of votes, the first thing they'd think of wouldn't be "oh, xyz bribed SE to get this rep". Just delete any mod flags or meta posts mentioning it and nothing will ever happen.

user

No, but tey'd think "Oh, xyz did voter farud'"

hyper-neutrino

deleting mod flags would still eventually get you noticed even if you did it before site mods saw the flags

Redwolf Programs

How?

hyper-neutrino

eventually a mod would stumble across the post and maybe click the flag icon cuz they're bored or smth

Redwolf Programs

6:07 PM

I still don't see how that'd let them notice

hyper-neutrino

well they might think something's wrong

and then they'd check the voting tool and not see anything suspicious as long as you scatter it across a bunch of accounts

Redwolf Programs

Just make the posts feature requests for mostly useless quality of life stuff, so it sort of makes sense why they're getting votes

A few people might notice the odd voting, but they'd be unable to communicate it to anyone

I just spent like 2 hours reading through all the SO drama, jeesh glad I was not around for that.

caird coinheringaahing

I've been making baby oil wrong all this time :P

@N3buchadnezzar ಠ_ಠ

N3buchadnezzar

Why would anyone oil babies? Does that not make them incredibly slippery and hard to handle?

hyper-neutrino

probably for skin dryness or similar

user

@N3buchadnezzar Of course, then it's easier to play ice hockey using them

N3buchadnezzar

Here take this precious ming vase to handle. Oh, we also used slippery ming vase oil on it. Take care

6:45 PM

Serious question, though: Why would anyone oil a coconut?

@N3buchadnezzar Is the ming vase oil made out of ming vases?

Redwolf Programs

also, it relies on not quoting or using punctuation, so is arguably incorrect

Hmm, I don't see the settings anywhere? Where would it come up?

Will it run differently, maybe?
