"Long Suffering Room" is also 19 bytes

@Maltysen I remember it well :)

I'm thinking of posting this, unless someone finds a flaw in the spec:

A: Fibonacci function or sequence

Detour, 11 bytes <T>R+. ;\$< This is non-competing: I just pushed the required version of the language about 10 minutes ago. Detour works like befunge, fish etc. except for one crucial difference: where those languages redirect the instruction pointer, detour redirects data. Input is pushed ...

Can anyone think of a good way to explain the program?

The normal format for 1-character instruction esolangs (splitting instructions into separate lines) doesn't really work because the 2d layout changes the control flow

@Cyoce You could make an animation, but that would probably be a lot of work.

11:06 PM

The interpreter does that at runtime

@Cyoce how is it different than marbelous?

I'm unfamiliar with that language

in marbelous, we've created a language where marbles fall down a board

each marble is a number from 00 to FF

and the devices it hits determines what it does

if it hits the ++ device, then the marble value increases by 1

we have teleporters, left/right redirectors

and multiple boards :P

huh. None of the marbelous answers I found with a quick search had proper explanations

it sounds a lot like Detour in concept

esolangs.org/wiki/Marbelous

11:10 PM

@Cyoce Does the online interpreter do that? I can't get it to work.

I fill the fields and click 'Run', but nothing happens. :/

:(

obviously something happens

it's just stopping the right stuff from happening

what does your console say?

@Zgarb try now

@Cyoce SyntaxError: let is a reserved identifier detour.js:19:6

Hoy.

11:24 PM

@Zgarb your browser probably doesn't support ES6.

Happy 10k @ThomasKwa! \o/

@Doorknob Conor already congratulated him but it only got one star. So I'll star yours.

oh I didn't see that

Oh well

translate: Kiitos käynnistä

(from Finnish) Thank you for visiting

translate: Kiitos kännistä

(from Finnish) Thank you for you start

@Zgarb ^

bing or google? :)

11:29 PM

@AlexA. That doesn't seem right.

Google Translate gives "Thank you for drunken", which is already better.

@Maltysen Stack Exchange uses Microsoft everything, so the built-in moderator translate function uses Bing. Which explains why it makes no sense, @Zgarb.

.i .ia mi krici lodu'u no ro do kakne lonu fanva dei pe mi ge'u lo glicybangu .i zo'o .uunai

This Lojban translator is the worst thing ever

Maybe it's just Lojban that's the worst thing ever.

ಠ_ಠ

Don't worry, it is just the translator.

(or, in Lojban, {.i'anaisai})

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It really depends on the language and dialect. Google uses some dialects and Bing uses others. They kind of complement each other, I've found.

I really should stop procrastinating and write discussions and essays. sigh

I really should stop procrastinating and compute sample size estimates. sigh

11:47 PM

I really should stop procrastinating and work on linear programming and partial fraction decompositions for math homework. sigh

I really should stop procrastinating and finish my coding assignment. sigh

I really should stop procrastinating and become sentient. sigh

@Doorknob Oh shit, linear programming as in optimization?!

I really should stop procrastinating and start procrastinating. sigh

Nonlinear optimization was one of my favorite classes from undergrad.

Q: Know a sequence by its subsequences

Introduction Suppose you and your friend are playing a game. Your friend thinks of some particular sequence of n bits, and your task is to deduce the sequence by asking them questions. However, the only type of question you're allowed to ask is "How long is the longest common subsequence of your...

code-challenge subsequence

@AlexA. yeah

!!

I'd love to work on a programming assignment.

Programming in the context of optimization is often a misnomer

@Hosch250 Yeah, not pong with ascii....

:(

No clue what the teacher is thinking...

Linear programming == linear optimization != writing code

11:49 PM

@AlexA. Yeah, it has nothing to do with computer programming. :P Well, you can do linear programming with a computer program, but...

Sounds more interesting than writing essays on project management.

@Doorknob Right

Man, I'm jealous. That sounds fun.

Simplex method?

@AlexA. In high school, "linear programming" means you have to draw lines on graph paper.

^

well, we don't have to draw lines

._.

11:51 PM

but it's the "find the vertices and check every one manually" method

whatever that's called

Oh gross

Sounds like my Calculus assignments. I had to manually calculate the peaks and points where the curve changed from concave to convex manually.

Oh, by the way, today in math class:

> A: Ugh, if I didn't make so many stupid mistakes I would have gotten a 100!
> B: Yeah well if I didn't make any mistakes, I could get a 100 too....

@Hosch250 You didn't use second derivatives and stuff for that?

My calculus teacher just gave me the textbook and said "read through it by the end of the semester"

11:56 PM

TrumpScript, making Python great again, LOL!

@AlexA. I did. But I did the calculations by hand. Or course, they were easy enough.

@mbomb007 I hope that is irony.

Yeah

@Hosch250 Oh, okay. In my experience that's just a regular part of calculus.

11:56 PM

It's an actual language though.

now

@mbomb007 hahaha

Yeah, just tedious. I didn't do the hottest in that class, with an 89%.

@Doorknob I'm going to go post its Hello, World!

> Dan and I tried to figure out Pythons abstract syntax tree class and he attempted to destroy it as only the single fluent TrumpScript user could.
