ok. httpwg.org/specs/rfc9112.html forbids parsing HTTP/1.1 headers as Unicode (because it introduces ambiguity about what a LF is). Does that mean I theoretically have to decode URL encoding (%30) ?

by the way, I put in unsafe code so it doesn't crash if the bytes in the path name make up "surrogates". I still don't really understand how surrogates work, so I don't know if this is necessary. For example, It's really hard to type them, if that even makes sense.

the other solutions on the web server I just golfed are more than half as old as me.

does the mega challenge require any two words in the standard alphabetical order are sorted relative to each other and what does standard alphabetical order mean?

surely if I don't explicitly run any, there won't be any software for them to connect to?
jan

what even is a firewall?

@mousetail'he-him' amos wegner would drown in security concerns trying to explain it to you

@Seggan when I need to regularly give someone a file, sometimes he just brings an iPad, which is one of the devices where I think they don't have a terminal, right after iPhones and Android devices without Termux on them
jan
Dec 12, 2024 20:14
@Seggan that's just a different thing though? the code is way longer and it doesn't instantly expire
jan
Dec 12, 2024 20:06
pretty cool. this may replace another dumb thing i sometimes do with ephemeral web servers, which is transfering files to my phone if I don't have a cable
jan
Dec 12, 2024 20:03
oh yeah right. it is connected to the internet.

i would have to tell it which port I am tunneling through the ssh?
jan
Dec 12, 2024 19:51
legal but hackery sounding thing I just did: For some reason, I can only download bundled example circuits for a logical circuit simulator we're using at university if I am at the university. something to do with all the other stuff on that subsite being public. so I just ssh into my account there, curl the zip file and then python3 -m http.server it through a TCP tunnel in the ssh to my computer. I've definitely learned the python3 part on this site.

Mascarpone is an Esoteric programming language with a so-called Meta-Circular interpreter, and it prints "Uncaught infinite loop!" as an error message when I run

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer it brings a papermc recommendation vibe to the chat that redstone youtubers don't really like
jan

@UnrelatedString oh, as a new question? that would solve the problem that, much like with the C specification, we can't really apply an unambiguous specification to existing solutions that used wiggle-room which previously existed
jan

where do I submit drafts?
jan
Oct 13, 2024 21:48
can't write any more of them for that Q then

@ATaco sure is sad

less relevant ambiguity: how do I determine what the possessive form of someone's neopronouns are if xe (example) doesn't tell me? are they xeir neopronouns or xis neopronouns?
jan
Sep 21, 2024 15:51
@rydwolf well at least 0 of those things are true
jan

" ~760MiB of output" sounds a bit scary.but I propably wouldn't have to test with this, right?
jan

@Ginger wow

that sounds like a goofy setting

because after blu-ray players they thought of another random piece of technology to put java on
jan
Sep 13, 2024 15:48
since It's only about the storage tech, I think I'm going to go with Box<[Token]> because i'll most likely copy out of that directly later anyway. the upside of iterator is being able to use both a once() iterator and any other, but uh doesn't matter
jan
Sep 13, 2024 15:44
so if the token is a built-in it transpiles into itself, but if it is a string, it's supposed to become a construction that makes a string. for codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/11690/…
jan
Sep 13, 2024 15:43
yea
jan
Sep 13, 2024 15:43
especially for a metagolf answer
jan
Sep 13, 2024 15:42
this is probably premature optimization

debating Vec<Token>, Box<[Token]> and Box<dyn Iterator<Item = Token>>
jan
Sep 13, 2024 15:41
I'm writing a function which most often returns one of its input (Token) as output, but sometimes creates a longer sequence of Tokens as the result. what should the result type be?

ok rust coding question:

well and everyone elses,

more like JD-Vance's version right?
