CMC, a trithagorean triple is a pythagorean triple with triangular numbers instead of square numbers. Find a number that is c for more than one trithagorean triple. Scoring most trithagorean triples wins.

For example 1978 is a member of 17 trithagorean triples

1404 1393 1978
1462 1332 1978
1540 1241 1978
1582 1187 1978
1651 1089 1978
1738 944 1978
1745 931 1978
1792 837 1978
1826 760 1978
1862 667 1978
1890 583 1978
1899 553 1978
1917 487 1978
1936 405 1978
1943 370 1978
1957 287 1978
1969 188 1978

@WheatWizard :O How did you do this

Wheat Wizard

I did a quick programmatic search

its the largest one under 2000

Business Cat

What does that mean exactly? That the a-th triangular number + the b-th triangular number = c-th triangular number?

Wheat Wizard

yes

Q: Check if a given string is valid romaji

Your program is given a string consisting entirely of lowercase letters at STDIN (or closest alternative). The program must then output a truthy or falsey value, depending on whether the input is valid romaji. Rules: It must be possible to divide the entire string into a sequence of kana wi...

took about 8 minutes on my machine

My computer is 8 years old and my code was not very well optimized

LegionMammal978

@WheatWizard Both 2628 and 3546 are c for 23 triples

Wheat Wizard

Nice

ASCII-only

@LegionMammal978 Oh btw how powerful of a computer do you have? You do the catagolue searches so quickly

PhiNotPi

so a(a+1) + b(b+1) = c(c+1)?

Wheat Wizard

12:29 AM

@PhiNotPi yes

LegionMammal978

@ASCII-only idk, processor's i7-2600K (~6yo) @ 3.4GHz

23 is the maximum for c ≤ 8192

So I'm working on a-ta.co/jelly which is an online Jelly interpreter. It only has one advantage so far, that being that most of the documentation is on the same page.

I have not done much on my new lang because I don't even know what the commands will be at this point

In Rocket League, there are controls assigned to quick chat. For PC, they are 1, 2, 3, and 4. To use a quick chat, you must press two controls. For example, the first option would be 1, 1. You will be simulating the Rocket League client. You will be given a non-empty list composed only of four ...

but how would it work in memory

@DJMcMayhem why'd you retract your CV on the comma name question? EDIT: oh, that was a manual comment, wasn't it. You didn't want to hammer

LegionMammal978

> Magic or sorcery is the use of rituals, symbols, actions, gestures, and language with the aim of exploiting supernatural forces.

looks like a clear dupe to me

LegionMammal978

So use some combination of rituals, symbols, actions, gestures, and language

@Riker oh, should I hammer

Riker

if you believe that

I think it's a dupe

can you link to Q you think it is dupe of?

2:24 AM

@Downgoat pointless to move it would clutter up more, deleted though

It's not necessarily obvious to do :q!

@Downgoat this is kinda misleading

it could mean that non-newbie jquery users are godlike and don't even need to go visit any tags

Downgoat

Occam's razor

Occam's razor (also Ockham's razor; Latin: lex parsimoniae "law of parsimony") is a problem-solving principle attributed to William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), who was an English Franciscan friar, scholastic philosopher, and theologian. His principle can be interpreted as stating Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. In science, Occam's razor is used as a heuristic guide in the development of theoretical models, rather than as a rigorous arbiter between candidate models. In the scientific method, Occam's razor is not considered an irrefutable principle...

Riker

@DestructibleLemon no way to find that out though

Downgoat

I think more people need to learn about occam's razor

Riker

2:25 AM

short of surveying all jquery tag vistors

Destructible Lemon

which makes it a bad graph!

@Downgoat I don't think you get occams razor

Downgoat

@DestructibleLemon D: 0/10 It has orange which is great color

@DestructibleLemon shit did I misspell

Destructible Lemon

maybe godlike is exaggerating, but it still makes bad sense in variations of skill

ATaco

It's not that it's a causation, however, it's a strong correlation

Destructible Lemon

maybe good users that visit the jquery tag visit other tags too

@Downgoat occam's razor basically determines what hypothesis you want to test

you still have alternate theories, especially ones that are reasonable

also maybe jquery users use vim more, not more incompetently

ATaco

You're uh, getting quite defensive over this.

Destructible Lemon

I don't know why

I think I just hate bad graphs

I mean you don't get to say "you know what I mean" when you have a graph

statistics don't work like that

ATaco

Well, the correlation doesn't appear to be random. But it's likely just the amount of uses of those tags is respective...

Destructible Lemon

the "you know what I mean" graph also seems incredibly prevalent in the gender wage gap infographics. I'm not denying that there is one, but you'd think that they'd be able to get a good graph to show detail and show that there is one
