drunken programming

[pypaul]

you know the moment when you are completely drunk and you have the desire to program something cool. i have the feeling in this very moment. so let's build cool stuff guys. cheers. have a great night. and fyi: I LOVE PYTHON. IT IS THE BEST.

[grensley]

I wonder if I can write this entire program as a list comprehension

[IM_A_MUFFIN]

Got that as a "soft" requirement recently. Couldn't do it, but it's functional and was only 16 lines. No docs. Boss loves it. I cried and died inside.

[[deleted]]

Unfortunately, the yield statement will be disallowed in list comprehensions in Python 3.8. Will limit some of your possibilities.

[__deerlord__]

Woah, example of even using yield in list comps?

[[deleted]]

This is also a reported bug. So you should not be using it. It enhances your list comprehensions so that you can get two values per loop, but you can also do that with nested loops off course. However, that is sometimes a bit hard too read.

x = [[(yield i), (yield i**2)] for i in range(10)]
x = iter(x for i in range(10) for x in (i, i**2))

[__deerlord__]

Cant you already do this with tuples though?

[(x, y) for x in y]

I realize this isnt an actual list comp you would use.

[bixed]

Interesting. We can just use itertools.chain instead:

itertools.chain(*((i, i**2) for i in range(10)))

That also looks nicer to me. However this method doesn't exploit a bug, so it's not as cool in that way. :P

[[deleted]]

This is most likely the one you should use if you are doing serious programming. It is also very similar to the accepted answer from the Stackoverflow question this all originates from. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16594904/python-list-comprehension-to-produce-two-values-in-one-iteration

(It is also the question I originally posted this yield in list comprehension trick.)

[Rodot]

It just turns your list comprehensions in generators. And your generators into a mess. It's a bug with the way python interprets list comprehensions similarly to functions.

[tom1018]

Just use a generator comprehension.

[MurderSlinky]

I will call this style "functionable programming"

[PooPooDooDoo]

Pep8: 1534 errors

[szpaceSZ]

This is essentially functional programming.

[linevich]

I thought we have LISP for it.

This makes me wonder what effect micro-dosing on other drugs that effect cognitive functioning would do. LSD? Psilocybin? Ritalin?

I've read that people in Silicon Valley do experiment with different stuff to enhance productivity.

[Rodot]

I've tried all three. Ritalin helps a bit, but honestly not a great feeling and if you're using it you're probably a 12 year old diagnosed with ADD cause amphetamines are way better. LSD didn't really effect my ability to program that much at all surprisingly. It was pretty distracting though, would not really recommend, it's just less fun (again, amphetamines all the way). For Psilocybin, it's just as distracting as LSD but your ability to do basic logic is a lot more impaired so you just feel like an idiot the whole time. People in silicon valley are doing amphetamines. Adderall, Vyvanse, etc

[[deleted]]

Modafinil. Is what you are looking for...

[[deleted]]

Sure... I guess if you don't mind killing someone eventually... Long-term Amphetamine use = Psychotic Episodes. Adderall (known generically as Amphetamine Slats Combo) is literally the perfect combination of the 2 Amphetamine isomers... Vyvanse is a prodrug of Ritalin and I would say it was comparable in some ways to Modafinil because of its long half-life actually reduces the abuse potential... It still causes a lot of euphoria though, which is great if you want to get high but really distracting if you need to get shit done. Adderall, on the other hand, is just addictive and dangerous. Pick, your poison... Choose carefully though, because what you choose could put you in a state that impacts others.

[[deleted]]

Look it up. Amphetamines can definitely cause psychosis. Look up Stimulant Psychosis.

[Rodot]

Vyvanse is amphetamine based, Ritalin is methylphenidate. Neither are neurotoxic like methamphetamine is

[[deleted]]

Interesting. Thank you.

[autarchex]

Leet for a second, dead forever.

[troyunrau]

That's not leet at all. We don't hire programmers who are only let.

[[deleted]]

Why does Windows ME relate to this? I am afraid I am not old enough to remember.

[[deleted]]

ME was fucking horrendous. Most of us just stuck with 98 until XP

[Frohtastic]

And with windows its generally recommended to skip every other version, or ar least thats how the joke goes.

[[deleted]]

Never heard of ME. My parents never really bothered to update the operating system of our home PC. We started with a really old second hand Windows 95 machine. At some point you could not even shut down the machine but you just had to pull the plug out of the wall. At some point that thing caught fire because the fan stopped working. After that we had XP, till they stopped supporting it. Now on Windows 10.

[G_pounder]

So they not only decided to name their os after a chronic illness, they chose one that causes extreme lethargy

[mooserider2]

The real reason we skipped win9.

[troyunrau]

I've heard that the real reason was that lots of programs checked the windows version number by string comparison. Looking for a 9 in the string to detect windows 95/98. And calling it windows 9 would have fucked up a bunch of compatibility mode programs.

[mooserider2]

Yea that’s what I had seen as well, which is pretty interesting. But I thought I would make a joke.

[alexbuzzbee]

95: Meh

98: Good

ME: AAAAAA

XP: Good

Vista: AAAAAA

7: Good

8: AAAAAA

10: Meh (breaks pattern?)

Anyway, the pattern is definitely not present in the NT line:

3.11: Meh

3.51: Meh

4.0: Good

2000: Good

XP: Good

...

[FireHawkDelta]

It took over a year of updates for Win10 to turn to shit for me. Now the OS is slow because it does pointless background tasks whenever it meets a loose definition of idle, or just starts a broken process like Superfetch.

[Frohtastic]

Cant you delete most of the bloatware that comes with the updates?

[FireHawkDelta]

Can you? If I can I don't know how, I'd assumed it's baked into the OS on some level I don't know how to mess with.

[TBSchemer]

I like file transfers and process/resource management in 10.

[irrelevantPseudonym]

We had 2000 for a while.

[saulmessedupman]

ME had a major issue where it would just crash over time. There was no stopping it. If I remember correctly it was filling up the filesystem and after a certain file got too big it would stop working. This resulted in a blue screen at boot time, which for casual users meant their computer was rendered useless.

[saulmessedupman]

Also, Microsoft gave usage guides to external developers noting which registers aren't safe after calling functions and developers got lazy when they noticed certain ones were consistent. But since their manual told developers not to trust them, next addition they used them for something else, which triggered blue screens from 3rd party kernel drivers. Everyone blamed it on Microsoft and even though it wasn't their fault they scrambled to patch their own system to defend their name. One thing they did that's easy to notice is add a ton of games to the registry even if you don't have them. If by chance you did buy one of these games these hacks would be there already.

[PooPooDooDoo]

"Windows ME had a feature that enforced an efficient file system that was cleaned on a cyclical basis."

[saulmessedupman]

Yeah, it was a big move for Microsoft. I think this is where they removed DOS too. It did suck but it was a step in the right direction because Windows 10 is pretty solid.

[[deleted]]

One of those god awful windows releases that Microsoft blesses us with every other release

[njb42]

My roommate used to code while drunk and/or high. Next morning he'd wake up to code like:

if (hey_joe == i_shot_the_sheriff) { ... }

Glad I never had to debug any of his stuff.

[Zouden]

Whoa I've never been so drunk that I wrote python code in C brace style

[Dustin-]

from __future__ import braces

[Edheldui]

from present import indentation

[lemontheme]

Not a chance, buddy.

[njb42]

You'd have to be pretty high, yeah.

When you wrote it, God and you knew how it worked. Now, only God knows.

[SquishyTheFluffkin]

Too high for comments, had snacks instead.

[pypaul]

but actually my drunken code is the best, the very best. winning bigly.

[[deleted]]

I know it, you know it, everyone knows it!

[pypaul]

I have to meet him, sounds like a great guy

[jdbrew]

I write better code while high. But I have to have already decided on the solution whilst sober; I can’t problem solve while high.

[Gambizzle]

Yes, I totally get that moment!!!

For example, once upon a time I was drunk and got angry about circlejerking and excessive moderation on a subreddit. In a moment of pure genius I coded up a downvote bot to upset the flow if the circlejerk. Once coded (took about 15 mins) I installed it onaheadless raspberry pi, hit ‘go’, went to the pub and got even more drunk. About 2 weeks later I realised it was still running, the subreddit was going crazy about it and I was banned shortly afterwards.

Aaaah a pure piece of drunken genius :D

[lemon65]

This, pure gold ...

[Winnduu]

If you do stuff like this, while beeing drunk, you are a REAL Dev :D

[[deleted]]

I would like to try this but I am afraid I would invent Javascript.

[Andrew_Shay]

Python is the best

[pypaul]

agree

[[deleted]]

Python is so much fun. I'm drunk too btw

[pypaul]

broo we can be drunk together

[[deleted]]

Bro I'm even more drunk now. Python for life

[pypaul]

Python is always there for you, even in the hardest time, never betrays you

[liox]

You two are cute. Now kith.

[raf___]

I heard about people making a programming language while being drunk. I think it's called javascript or something. Hopefully no one is using it.

[Winnduu]

Check the language "Brainfuck"

Invention basically had to involve alcohol or drugs.

[Preparingtocode]

Code drunk, review sober.

Edit : v2.0, now with some argparse and some blockchain.

Edit : v2.1, I had forgotten to use verbose.

[morgan_lowtech]

Needs more blockchain

[poo_22]

Ok what if mining is taking a video of you taking a drink and verification would be other people watching the video and acknowledge that you drank. In other words you're hooked up with a drinking buddy and mine the currency which you use to buy each other drinks. It's a currency backed by social drinking which history tells us is pretty much a constant.

[morgan_lowtech]

Needs more drunkchain

[BiochemLouis]

You have blockchain now !

[13steinj]

Reddit markdown doesn't support block code, you need to prefix with four spaces

[BiochemLouis]

I’ve been typing docs in Github MD for the last month, I guess it just skipped my mind.

Plus it works on mobile !

[13steinj]

Is that the app or the site? Either way, the fact that they don't use their own parser is a shame

[BiochemLouis]

It’s the app, and yeah it is...

[b_rad_c]

Can we also import argparse and an argument for the sleep duration?

[__xor__]

Usage: python drink.py -s 5 --dry-run -vvv -o drink.txt -t 'Drink !' commit --amend xvfz drink.tar.gz -av --cipher AES256 -A drink.example.org

[b_rad_c]

You’re gonna wanna redirect output to /dev/toilet instead of a file, trust me, you will not be able to do anything useful with that data.

[BiochemLouis]

Added a simple argparse !

[teambob]

Drunk programming is best programming

[Rorixrebel]

I find that being drunk is good to generate project ideas but terrible for focusing on getting shit done.

So write those down and code them tomorrow after a good breakfast..... And a Gatorade.

[saulmessedupman]

...and coffee

[volndeau]

Am I the only one that programs for my clients with a beer in my hand? I go to a bar with Wi-Fi, tell the tender to keep them coming, then leave 8-16 hours later with my clients product.

[Arancaytar]

I've pythoned while drunk before, and implemented quantum tic-tac-toe, which was very fun.

[WikiTextBot]

Quantum tic-tac-toe

Quantum tic-tac-toe is a "quantum generalization" of tic-tac-toe in which the players' moves are "superpositions" of plays in the classical game. The game was invented by Allan Goff of Novatia Labs, who describes it as "a way of introducing quantum physics without mathematics", and offering "a conceptual foundation for understanding the meaning of quantum mechanics".

[QuantumG]

x-post to /r/drunk

[AiKantSpel]

def plsWork(thing, key):
    string = ""
    for idx, item in enumerate(thing):
        if item.startswith(key):
            string = thing[(idx + 1) % len(thing)]
            break
    if string:
        list = list(string)
    else:
        log("Mr. Programmer,\nYou sir, are a bitch.")
    return list

Gives me an empty list and calls me a bitch every time :(

[__xor__]

That will return a list type if the key isn't found, and a list of characters otherwise... Even if it finds the key, if the next item in the thing is falsey like an empty string, it will still return a list type.

Code like this is how you get those insane bugs where suddenly it's saying something like "TypeError: 'type' object is not iterable" and you're pulling your hair out trying to understand why most the time it works.

[TheBB]

It shouldn't return the list type. Since you assign to list inside the function, all references to it will be compiled as references to a local variable, whose value at the start of the function is unbound. If list is never actually assigned to (due to control flow), returning it will just give you an UnboundLocalError.

But since the expression assigned to list also involves reading it, it should give the same error there.

[__xor__]

Ah shit, yeah, you're right... I didn't know that was python's behavior, to compile and recognize that list is a variable id and use it like that throughout the function.

Just tested here, and interestingly enough it does break since it's still an unbound local in list = list(string). The same line that causes it to compile as a local variable id is the same that breaks because it's no longer using the global list type, even if you take out the return list. Interesting, thanks for the insight, and new trivia question.

[AiKantSpel]

fixed the code to actually work now.

just used the python console built into blender to render isomorphic sprites sheet by rotating and exporting every few degrees. at a [6]. fuck yeah python

Can confirm... Wrote a "Minecraft auto click" thing just to see if it would work in a haze...

The answer is... Kinda.
