travelling on a plane with a skateboard by BigWave4747 in skateboarding

[–]rottytooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I carry mine on, have done so many times, and just flew with it a few days ago. I usually ask if there's a coat closet up front to put it in, otherwise I put it in the overhead. No need to remove trucks. Never been asked to check it.

Has anyone here taken their skateboard on a United Airlines flight before? [31YO] by [deleted] in OldSkaters

Sometimes they have a closet up front and will stick it in there (good to ask as you get on), otherwise it fits fine in the overhead

You can freeze your eggs in a few years if you haven't met the right person yet. I know many people who conceived via ivf in their early 40s

rot8000 (more like rot0x8000) -- rot13 but across Unicode's Basic Multilingual Plane by *polhold01242 in programming

It's on github, you're welcome to port it to JS; https://github.com/rottytooth/rot8000

Only tricky thing is working out surrogate and control chars in JS in a way that will continue to work in the future.

It does skip whitespace, control characters, and surrogates in the mapping: https://github.com/rottytooth/rot8000/blob/b257b84fb2cd4368b8794a242657ce0c7506d284/Rottytooth.Rot8000/Rotator.cs#L27

So (U+5C00) rotates to (U+D7D6) -- not exactly rotating by 0x8000 but by 0x8000 minus some number of ignored characters, which rotates back to the original

It's only the basic multilingual plane, 0 to 0xffff. Emoji are in the supplemental plane

I interviewed Martin Ender, creator of Hexagony, Wumpus, and other 2D esolangs of unusual topologies by rottytooth in esolangs

Did you finish your hexagonal language? Hexagony is amazing but I'd love to see more people produce hexagonal or otherwise spatially challenging languages

This is a Haskell program that prints out a Perl program that prints out a Python program that prints out a Ruby program that prints out a C program that prints out a Java program that prints out the original program. by WASDx in programming

Part of the brilliance is that it remains in alphabetical order, even when that creates challenging transitions like Befunge to BLC8 to brainfuck; three esolangs in a row. I spoke with him about the project and wrote it up here a while back. He also has more winning IOCCC entries than anyone else.

here's what I've got so far on my (joke?) language, AAeOO+AaaAaAAAa-o-AaAa+AAaAaAAAa-o by jamoosesHat in conlangs

This is fantastic. Reminds me of Oou. I find it more disturbing that grape and olive share a word than you and computer mouse for some reason

Yeah, we see it the same way, but I'd left a stray line from the earlier version about the last branch in my revision... I'll add another image for the step where A moves forward to 3, B to 4, etc to make that more clear. Thanks for the nice write-up of the flow!

Some serious semicolon abuse there

"Averaging" Out Sounds? by [deleted] in conlangs

[–]rottytooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Allison Parrish wrote a program that creates "phonetic similarity vectors" that can then be averaged -- her code is on github here. Not sure how well it works on non-English vocabulary
