what is the figgerence between gitlab and github?

I'm gathering that goats are just bad at communication in general

Chris Jester-Young

@Downgoat I actually initially did that in protest to GitHub's treatment of fork projects: namely that your contributions to a fork project do not count towards your daily tally.

Downgoat

@ChrisJester-Young they dont???

realyl???

Chris Jester-Young

So I said eff it, I'll just move the project to GitLab so my daily tally is correct.

Downgoat

3:48 AM

@Mego -1/10 for discrimination to goats

Anonymous

@Downgoat "write" "figgerance" "dont" "realyl"

Downgoat

that sounds like something Donald Trump would say to goats...

Chris Jester-Young

And once I established my first project on GitLab, starting new ones there was a no-brainer.

Downgoat

@Mego it is not bad communication, just me not giving enough shits to fix the spelling mistakes :P

@Downgoat "write" instead of "right" is a grammar mistake, not a spelling mistake

Do any of you know how I would go about making an online interpreter for my java-based golfing lang?

Sp3000

4:27 AM

@Mego List comp with an if is better than filter(lambda:, as a general rule

El'endia Starman

@GamrCorps My online interpreter for Minkolang is really an interface. You provide the inputs, the Python interpreter for Minkolang is run with the inputs, then the outputs are displayed. This is also how Try It Online works.

Downgoat

@GamrCorps what part are you stuck on?

client? server?

GamrCorps

Im stuck on starting.

So it involves server-side stuff?

El'endia Starman

If you're not planning on recreating the whole interpreter in JavaScript, yes.

GamrCorps

Ah ok

4:29 AM

@GamrCorps you can ask @Dennis if he will put your language on tryitionline

@Sp3000 xnor's question?

Sp3000

4:33 AM

Do leading 0's need to be included output numbers that have them? — xnor 14 mins ago

Dennis

@GamrCorps Just say the word. As long as the interpreter is "safe", I'll gladly host it.

GamrCorps

@Dennis Ok thanks!

xnor

@Sp3000 yeah, i think this question really affects the approach

if leading 0's are required, it tilts it to strings rather than nums

Sp3000

Definitely :/ I have one with about 3 strs in it right now and it's ugly

xnor

are you recursing?

Sp3000

4:35 AM

Yeah - still not quite sure that's the best way, but it makes the condition a bit easier to check

Anonymous

I could see it going either way - "Permutations may start and with zero (so they're not technically magic numbers)" for yes on the zero, but the zero can be implied given that the output value would be of len n-1

Hello, I have a question. When answering a codegolf challenge, if my C code contains some newlines that are not necessary (in places where whitespace is unnecessary to separate tokens, and not after preprocessing directives) which I put in only to make the code readable without scrolling, does this increase the byte count?

xnor

@mIllIbyte You should put your code without extra newlines, and count bytes for that. If you also want to provide a more readable version for the reader's benefit, put it in a separate code block as part of your explanation.

@Katenkyo I have a solution that comes really, really close to working. (There's just a tiny bug that I can't spot.) Should I post it as CW, and ask here for other people to work on it?

Katenkyo

@wizzwizz4 No, post it as an answer

wizzwizz4

@Katenkyo By CW I meant a Community Wiki answer.

Katenkyo

Along with something saying "Here's an actually working implementation, feel free to compete with it"

@wizzwizz4 I know, and you should post it as a regular answer

wizzwizz4

@Katenkyo It doesn't work properly, and I'm stuck...

@wizzwizz4 oh, you meant posting it with bugs?

And I'm not the questioner.

I thought CW, because if the bug is trivial, I'll get the bounty, but if it's not, the person who fixes it will get the bounty.

The shortest (RFC 7230-compliant) HTTP request is 18 bytes long

And:

@LegionMammal978 What is the request?

LegionMammal978

> Recipients of an invalid request-line SHOULD respond with either a 400 (Bad Request) error or a 301 (Moved Permanently) redirect with the request-target properly encoded. A recipient SHOULD NOT attempt to autocorrect and then process the request without a redirect, since the invalid request-line might be deliberately crafted to bypass security filters along the request chain.

@LegionMammal978 You mean it can't be golfed more than that?
