Another idea: Things aren't garbage collected by default. However, you can make a GarbageCollector to do it. Although the GarbageCollector doesn't get garbage collected.

pxeger

sounds a bit like Zig

but in reverse

emanresu A

What if multiple GarbageCollectors try to delete each other?

pxeger

things can't be allocated by default unless you make an Allocator. But how do you make an Allocator? No idea...

@emanresuA they can't both run at the same time, I'd assume

@cairdcoinheringaahing Same, and mine was a programming internship. I was in college, tho.

emanresu A

@RadvylfPrograms I did this and got 750k, which can't be right

I've excluded node_modules and package-lock.json

Radvylf Programs

Oh huh, was about to suggest those

emanresu A

I've got some giant generated js / json files but they're all one line

Oh wait

I have a full clone of rustpython in there

~5000 now, although I have other things.

@cairdcoinheringaahing oh hey, this is the garden shop with the RTO offices!

pxeger

if you only count mine, it's...

4 million? I think I need to exclude some stuff

Ginger Industries

pxeger has written 4 million lines of code confirmed /s

pxeger

does sloc not exclude some things like node_modules and .git by default?

Radvylf Programs

I don't think so

pxeger

282 thousand

still seems too high

Ginger Industries

sloc stands for super useful code counter

@GingerIndustries wouldn't that be succ?

Ginger Industries

well now I have to make succ

how could I possibly pass up that name

Radvylf Programs

Wait that wasn't intentional?

@GingerIndustries Maybe instead you should make a Try-Hard Incremental Code Counter

ok, I've perfected my command for searching lines of code

rg '\S' -T={asciidoc,log,minified,rst,lock,json,toml,yaml,readme,md,tex,license} --json | tail -1 | jq -r '.data.stats.matched_lines'

my answer is 10004

Ginger Industries

@pxeger

alias succ = "rg '\S' -T={asciidoc,log,minified,rst,lock,json,toml,yaml,readme,md,tex,license} --json | tail -1 | jq -r '.data.stats.matched_lines'"

pxeger

no spaces around the =

or just use a function

succ () {

from Bjarne Stroustrup's website:

> "Legacy code" is a term often used derogatorily to characterize code that is written in a language or style that (1) the speaker/writer consider outdated and/or (2) is competing with something sold/promoted by the speaker/writer. "Legacy code" often differs from its suggested alternative by actually working and scaling.

Anush

my question has just been closed so I will ask it as a CMC

CMC can anyone shorten this python code given a string s? ''.join([hex(ord(l))[2:] for l in s]) ?

@cairdcoinheringaahing hi

pxeger

''.join(hex(ord(l))[2:]for l in s)

Anush

@pxeger one space less?

pxeger

8:52 PM

in Python 2 you can do s.encode("hex")

@Anush I also removed the unnecessary []

Anush

@pxeger ooh that sounds good! But not python 3?

@pxeger ah yes

caird coinheringaahing

@Anush Hi

Anush

why don't you need the []?

pxeger

str.join can take any iterable, including a generator

Anush

@cairdcoinheringaahing I deleted my poor question

@pxeger cool

caird coinheringaahing

8:54 PM

@Anush Which question?

pxeger

@Anush ''.join(f"{ord(l):x}"for l in s)

Anush

the one about converting a string to hex

pxeger

if input can be as a byte string, you can remove the ord()

Anush

@pxeger which version of python does that need?

@pxeger sadly is a string
