I posted a second answer there. 06:06:29 right now I'm in the middle of a long backup 06:06:37 I don't much like PPCG because their golf challenge rules are somewhat vague and inconsistent about how golf takes input or output 06:07:34 have you seen the thread about it? 06:07:43 wob_jonas: Did you try extending your library borrow by telephone? 06:08:22 here: https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2447/62131 06:08:50 that's a thread mostly about voting on what methods are allowed and what aren't, although it doesn't always produce conclusive results and I don't agree with all the results 06:10:35 the "you can crash for boolean false" post is very controversial, it's on +19/-9 at the moment, which is very close to the ⅔ threshold specified by the post, and it's crossed the threshold several times in the last few days… 06:18:52 ais523: I looked at that thread. it wasn't clear enough. specifically, I wanted to know if it's valid to produce the output of the challenge on stdout but also print some irrelevant message to stderr. apparently it's valid. 06:19:14 yes, we have another thread about that I think 06:19:17 finding rules on meta is hard 06:19:23 there are plans to do something about it but no real motion 06:19:26 Moin 06:19:35 Celebrate Towel-Day! 06:19:58 On anarchy golf, it is (almost) always valid to print irrelevant stuff on stderr, I think, as long as the correct output is printed to stdout (and not excessive stuff). 06:20:11 I know it's not easy because ppcg does a shitton of languages, so you can't just have a challenge demand output on stdout, because that would exclude some languages. 06:20:22 zzo38: anagolf restricts languages more 06:20:32 yeah, it still has like fifty or something 06:21:03 Yes, it does, but I am just saying that that is generally the policy on anarchy golf, at least. 06:21:10 -!- hakatashi has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 06:21:18 wob_jonas: looks like there's a good summary post here (which I'd never seen before): https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/9658/62131 06:21:29 -!- hakatashi has joined. 06:21:52 but anagolf doesn't let you submit golf in, like, some programmable calculator or 80s home computer that doesn't know what stdout is 06:22:26 That is true too, that it doesn't. 06:23:14 though admittedly it does allow z80 without OS and some very minimal IO conventions 06:27:06 I did also once make up a way to make a code golf with 6502 instruction set, using a file with a one byte header. The NMOS 6502 instruction set is used, and executing any unstable instruction means it is automatically wrong (although stable unofficial instructions are OK). The memory map and I/O and a few other thing are controlled by the one byte header. 06:28:23 zzo38: memory map? as in, the input and output may be mapped to memory? or you may have banking? 06:29:08 zzo38: do you have a link? 06:29:59 There is no bankswitching, although it does control what address the I/O is mapped to.

Can you? 22:53:18 mmm...maybe 22:53:30 But I didn't see whether they do that. 22:53:37 But if you're going to try to be clever, I would expect to have a Then constructor as well 22:53:48 Because the function argument to Bind is as good as a black box 22:53:58 Also, probably you'd want Applicative stuff 22:54:14 So that you could avoid Bind as much as possible 22:54:15 Applicative is certainly much better for this sort of trickery, if you have it. 22:54:41 I think of join as a "choke point" or something, something that you want to minimize the use of as much as possible even if you do have monad operations. 22:54:46 -!- boily has joined. 22:54:48 `w 22:54:51 E.g. join (f <$> x <*> y <*> z) 22:54:52 To some extent, it doesn't matter, up to some notion of semantic equivalence, it would satisfy the monad laws 22:54:58 ​`slwd//`slwd // 22:55:05 Like, if the constructors of the data type aren't exposed by the module 22:55:30 CBind is interesting though 22:55:32 Sure, you can define your own equality which does this quotienting thing. 22:55:42 I'm not entirely sure what to make of that 22:56:01 What was that one free monad implementation that was a newtype with a forall? 22:56:57 Are you thinking of the "Freer monad"? 22:57:15 Hmm, I don't think so. 22:58:13 Oh, it was the thing roconnor named after twanvl. http://r6.ca/blog/20140210T181244Z.html 22:59:33 `4 w 22:59:38 1/2:eridanipoid//Eridanipoids form a category of uncategorifiable stellar remnants.

I actually rather like that one, as it's easy to explain from a software engineering kind of perspective. 23:03:51 It's what you naturally end up with by abstracting over a bunch of operations, and then abstracting over the way you're doing that :) 23:04:13 There's the definition of various free algebraic structures using forall. 23:04:28 E.g. FreeGroup a = forall r.
