im kinda divided on whether to close this

while "random" IMO is well enough defined, i actually have no idea what the examples are saying

Ginger

@cairdcoinheringaahing ~~we're not so different after all~~

caird coinheringaahing

@DigitalTrauma I couldn't figure it out either until I realized that you're not printing one "clock," you're printing n clocks side-by-side (which was not at all clear from the question). So in the n = 4 example, you see four "clocks"—the first with the top row *153, the second with the top row *135, and so on. — Jordan Sep 15, 2016 at 1:06

Bubbler

@Seggan Took some time to understand but it seems to be well-defined after all

Seggan

@cairdcoinheringaahing that should be clarified

caird coinheringaahing

The current VTC is about the definition of "random"

@Seggan Feel free to edit to do so. I believe that currently, it's clear enough to understand, albeit not obvious

Bubbler

12:23 AM

oh, random :/

Seggan

IMO "random" means "uniformly pseudo-random"

emanresu A

I spent three minutes trying to figure out what it was doing. VTC'd until someone clears that up

Seggan

ill leave it open

caird coinheringaahing

I gave a crack at an edit, lemme know

Bubbler

The intention would likely be "uniformly and independently"

Seggan

12:25 AM

still dont get how to solve the challenge

caird coinheringaahing

There just wasn't enough emphasis/clarification that each square along is rotated again. If they were separated vertically by newlines from each other, rather than horizontally by spaces, it'd be very clear

Bubbler

*...|...*|....|....
....|....|....|....

caird coinheringaahing

Vertically

Bubbler

The position of asterisk is rotated 90deg from a grid to the next

and then fill the dots with random digits

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal I'm afraid I can't morally vote for you in the election until this is fulfilled, to show that you truly care about the community and their desires :P

Decided I wanted to not have cringe available to the public any more

You nerds haven't even realised all the other videos are gone

Ginger

because that one was all that mattered

although tbh I am glad it's gone because I didn't like still being called "Ginger Industries" in it

but you had no way of knowing about the name change so it's not your fault

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal This is comparable to the burning of the Library of Alexandria

so ive been rerunning the elo language rater and...

lets just say the results have been surprising

im still tweaking the parser to work with the frac byte langs but ill update the post

And can it be answered with itself?

And is it a valid comment on itself?

Seggan

woo new language ratings!

fig was actually above jelly before i added the  tag

vyxal really climbed the ranks

see @lyxal, frac bytes aint that bad

emanresu A

Given just how few fig answers there are, I suspect you've accidentally given fig some sort of advantage by parsing it differently

Seggan

how would it get an advantage?

caird coinheringaahing

How many fig answers are there?

Seggan

around 20?

caird coinheringaahing

1:18 AM

Also, why ?

Seggan

because the older answers use that instead of <s>

caird coinheringaahing

float(score.group(1)) this doesn't work with the new regex

score.group(1) is just the integer part

Seggan

aaaah

yeah fig is 4th now

still not bad

caird coinheringaahing

Also, I'm not sure about your span regexes

Plus, the  regex is greedy

Seggan

i just copied the <s> regex

caird coinheringaahing

1:22 AM

That also applies to the strikethrough regex, but that seems less important than 

@Seggan People have strikethroughs in their post body less often than they do  (e.g. pre-latex math, footnotes, etc.)

Seggan

this only is parsing the header

there is no body

ive rolled back the edit for now

@cairdcoinheringaahing fig is not parsed at all if i make it like the <s> regex

i feel like rewriting the whole parser

caird coinheringaahing

Probably a decent shout

Seggan

?

caird coinheringaahing

@Seggan Yes there is, check the SEDE query

Seggan

i used bubblers query

lyxal

1:28 AM

The body is there excel is just funky

If you opened it in something like vs code you'd see the rest of each post

Seggan

then explain this

thats NPP

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal Can you run your ranking script to see if it is the same/similar data to Seggan's?

Seggan

fig wont appear in there, as will anything using  👆

caird coinheringaahing

Why wouldn't fig appear?

lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing the one I run is the unmodified one though - it uses the base regex

caird coinheringaahing

1:34 AM

Yeah, what happens if you run yours, but with the data updated to date?

I want to see whether the regexes are affecting the rankings

lyxal

one second just gotta get the data

and remember where Bubbler's query is

Seggan

even cutoff = 30 still has things like "16 bytes"

Bubbler

Yeah, maybe xx bytes must be culled away manually

Seggan

its bad parsing

i managed to reduce it by adding in 

lyxal

I actually don't know how the CUTOFF thing works

I set it to 1000 but it's missing a few languages with 1k+ answers

ah

it's a parsing issue

emanresu A

In an unexpected turn of events, 3 bytes lost to 5 bytes

@Seggan That seems more accurate

emanresu A

Fig still seems unrealistically high

Seggan

ima wait for more fig answers before updating the meta post

caird coinheringaahing

Fig doesn't really have the numbers to properly compare against Vyxal/Jelly/05AB1E

emanresu A

1:48 AM

^

Its answers are almost all to fairly trivial challenges

Bubbler

It's like having +-500 variance

caird coinheringaahing

I would like if the ratings script ignored answers to a set list of challenges, namely the "trivial challenges to start answering with a new language" list

Seggan

This seems to get around the problem of some languages only being used on easy challenges, since two languages are only compared on challenges they have in common. — trichoplax Apr 5, 2016 at 13:58

theres also a lot of (noncompeting) on the rejected headers

how this look

no 3 or 5 byte languages

lyxal

@Seggan with open('ratings.csv') as csvfile: -> with open('ratings.csv', encoding="utf-8") as csvfile:

lines.append((row['Body'], row['ParentId'])) -> lines.append((row['FirstLine'], row['ParentId']))

Seggan

and?

lyxal

2:00 AM

what do you mean and?

pppery

So, given that Produce n n-squares of integers with rotating *'s in consecuitive corners just passed the close-vote queue, can anyone determine whether this answer is valid?

lyxal

@Seggan those need to be changed otherwise it errors

Seggan

eh i just rename the col :P

caird coinheringaahing

@pppery I believe that meta consensus is that "random", unless otherwise specified, means "uniform and independent", so it'd be invalid

25

A: Standard definitions of terms within specifications

"random" The term "random" means that you may: Use your language's built-in random number generator, Use /dev/random, or Create a RNG that is equivalent to a standard RNG (such as the Mersenne Twister).

lyxal

@Seggan well the encoding="utf8" still needs to be added, otherwise you get UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 4174: character maps to <undefined>

caird coinheringaahing

2:02 AM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Never mind, got it mixed up. So long as it meets the definition of random given here, I'd rule it valid

Seggan

@lyxal works fine for me?

2:46 AM

Honestly...considering voting for Lyxal. Didn't think about the fact they'd be running, but caird and lyxal are going to be tough to decide between

caird coinheringaahing

Reminder you can (and should) vote for both of us, just one over the other :P

Radvylf Programs

Well yeah, but that doesn't really matter a ton when there's two candidates (so far) and one position :p

caird coinheringaahing

@RadvylfPrograms I will say, while I respect lyxal a lot, and, if I wasn't running, he'd be one of the 4 users I'd 100% vote for, I question his experience in moderating the site as a non-mod compared to mine. His moderation badges especially are lacking for reviews, voting and flagging

lyxal

3:10 AM

My reviews are lacking because there's rarely anything in the queues that isn't ninja'd by y'all with userscripts. My flags are lacking because I just don't see the posts that get flagged. My voting is only lacking because of the 15k votes I've cast, most were on answers before I realised that you're best to do answers first

If I had done my voting more strategically a long time ago, I'd have the voting gold badge

caird coinheringaahing

In case it wasn't clear, I don't think it's a bad thing that you've done fewer reviews/flags, mainly because they're the kind of things that you do when they happen, rather than stuff you can just rack up. I had a similar thing 2 years ago. But, I do think that it's worth taking into consideration that you don't have the moderation experience I do

And yeah, I realised that Electorate is more "strategic" voting than pure numbers, I think you have me 3 to 1 on total votes cast or something crazy

lyxal

Fair enough

@cairdcoinheringaahing I am the second most prolific site voter, only topped by gnat after all :p

caird coinheringaahing

In that case, fraid we should both drop out and let gnat become mod

lyxal

Only logical conclusion

@cairdcoinheringaahing ^ I suspect this is because the top editors page lists "number of edits", but your profile lists "posts edited" - so Martin has edit many more posts multiple times than you

I could write an SEDE query to check but I can't be bothered

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger I more or less know the differences between profile edit count and /users edit count, I just didn't have the room (or inclination) to explain in my nomination

PyGamer0

@mousetail sounds fun

mousetail

Especially in hindsight, at the time those where very hard subjects

have others used petri nets?

PyGamer0

honestly i dont want to learn any programming languages from school,etc because i can learn them on my own

i want to learn the science part of computer :p

mousetail

That's basically what my school was. In the first year most projects where Java but later on you could usually just choose a language yourself or needed to learn some domain specific language for the subject

even the java subjects where more about "implement this algorithm" than learn the Java syntax

DialFrost
