Adám: ;-)
Adám: apl.wiki/Pornography
caird coinheringaahing: > Readability (Redirected from Pornography)
caird coinheringaahing: ..wha
Adám: Keep reading!
caird coinheringaahing: If there's one thing I don;t think I've ever associated porn with, it's reading :P
Bubbler: Any feedback?
caird coinheringaahing: > APLers have traditionally used pornography to describe code that is hard to read
Adám: @cairdcoinheringaahing Didn't people read porn before videos became common?
rak1507: a←4 (a+3)×a shouldn't this be (a←3)×a if I'm understanding it right?
caird coinheringaahing: Huh, interesting. I've always associated calling things "porn" (in a non-sexual way) as being elegant/beautiful examples, and I wouldn't say "hard to read code" falls under that
Redwolf Programs: ^
caird coinheringaahing: @Adám I'm 19, so I have no experience with that :P
AviFS: Oooh, juicy!
Adám: @rak1507 Yes, typo. Will fix.
Adám: I fixed the faulty pornography. How should I feel about that‽
AviFS: @Adám Definitely not what I was hoping for :P
rak1507: can I put 'pornography proof reader' on my cv now?
Adám: @cairdcoinheringaahing Well, respected companies used that term with this meaning, in official documentation, so…
AviFS: > Code golf often results in pornographic code, as does the practice of cramming a whole algorithm into a single line, forming a one-liner.
AviFS: I guess we're porn stars now...
AviFS: @cairdcoinheringaahing I agree. That's totally been my association.
Adám: If some posts porn in chat and another stars it, the star is a porn star, no?
caird coinheringaahing: @Adám Clicked links are very close to black for me, I genuinely thought you'd forgotten the link to here on aplwiki.com/wiki/Code_golf until I hovered over it and saw the underline
AviFS: I've always heard it with a positive association in the context of code. Using it to describe bad code is new to me
caird coinheringaahing: Makes it very difficult to discern what is a link I've clicked and just regular text
Adám: @cairdcoinheringaahing Interesting. Default Wikipedia styling.
rak1507: yeah I would think of it as being particularly beautiful apl code or something like that
Redwolf Programs: "Hot monads in your area"
AviFS: hahahaha
caird coinheringaahing: Stuff like r/EarthPorn come to mind
AviFS: @rak1507 Yeah, same. To me "porn" is synonymous with "eye-candy"
caird coinheringaahing: Can't forget about the entirely non-sexual r/HumanPorn :P
Adám: Anyone up for some ternary association?
AviFS: Haha, good one
AviFS: How about some dyadic linking?
rak1507: @RedwolfPrograms if you have monads in golang would they be gonads? :P
lyxal: r/yourjokebutbetter
AviFS: I think that's a Jelly thing though, assuming it makes sense even there
Adám: CMC: enclosed intersection of the union and the mixed-radix representation
rak1507: 'monad' can mean single arg function or a monoid in the category of endofunctors :P
caird coinheringaahing: Especially kinky Jelly coders use chains in their pornography :P
----- AI stuff starts here
rak1507: oh gosh they do
AviFS: That's too perfect.
AviFS: I'm never going to be able to think of "monad" without thinking of kinky Jelly coders :D
rak1507: theres a reason it's called jelly, you know!
Adám: > Maybe it is all just silly word play... But let me tell you, there was a time I wanted to do serious work in Apl. When that happens, monads will be the last thing on your mind!
AviFS: :D
rak1507: ;)
Adám: :)
AviFS: But seriously though, I've thought about that a lot
AviFS: Maybe we should call it "funky" instead of "kinky"?
rak1507: I'm sure there's something out there
Adám: Do you think that would work? The name is catchy and funny. It's not like "Funkadelic" - the "funky" part is not a euphemism.
AviFS: Yeah, that's true
Adám: What do you think of the "Code Golfing Kinkster"?
rak1507: haha I like it
AviFS: @Adám That seems even more fitting
Adám: I have a good feeling about it. The name is really catchy, and the abbreviation will be an excellent meme for people who don't care (or don't get) what kinky means.
AviFS: Maybe Cosplay Cosmology Kinksters?
