hi... it seems we have lost the sandbox link? codegolf.stackexchange.com

anyone know what the link is?

ASCII-only

@Lembik ?

Lembik

there used to be a link to it on the right

I found my question in any case meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/10355/9206

I am thinking of posting it soon. Any last minute queries/problems?

@Lembik If you ever notice that the sandbox is no longer featured, raise a mod flag on the sandbox so the mods will see it and take care of it

@Mego thanks

@Mego and thanks for your comments on my codegolf question

just posted the fastest-code version

hope it is less controversial!

I like it :) That clarification was the only issue I had with it

Lembik

8:34 AM

great! :)

now I get to wonder what the winning score will be. My guess is 25

but I am usually wrong :)

@Sherlock9 question posted!

Anonymous

I'm guessing 10s-20s, until Peter or Dennis come along with a novel solution that blows away the competition, getting 50 or more.

Lembik

:) Shebang has a straightforward implementation of Ryser's algorithm which gets to 22 using pypy

it's very small and simple

Anonymous

Hmm, thought... If you don't count compiling time into the score, heavily abusing template metaprogramming in C++ could get a constant runtime (in exchange for increasing compile time)

Lembik

@Mego yes that is a general problem

I mean I have posted a number of fastest code challenges all of which could have been cheated by that method

I think that comes into the category of cheating

I suppose I could a "no cheating clause"?

Anonymous

Yeah, but there's no rule against it :P I'd say it would be better as a standard loophole

good point

thanks

in general I thought the voting system was meant to handle these things

you just don't get many upvotes if you cheat

Well, the difference between "cheating" and "finding a clever way to skirt the rules" is in the eye of the viewer

@wizzwizz4 I'm okay, I guess?

        (int) sizeof(int), //Size of *what* struct?!?
        NULL, //Deprecated parameter
        pipecallback, //Function
        NULL //A parameter to give the function. Unused.
    }
);

Enthusiast

wow, what is that

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 What error does it give

wizzwizz4

Syntax error: expected ')' but found '{'.

Operands of '=' have incompatible types 'void *' and 'int'.

Syntax error: expected ';' but found '{'.

Enthusiast

you are missing a '}'

wizzwizz4

8:56 AM

@Enthusiast Where?

Also: Syntax error: expected ';' but found '}'

The line numbers are messed up, pointing to sections of a comment. :-/

Enthusiast

ehh, maybe u need to have a '{' and '}' like this
pipecallbackid = XPLMCreateFlightLoop({ }) I dont really know.

im just guessing

wizzwizz4

@Enthusiast I have that. The (XPLMCreateFlightLoop_t) is to cast it to XPLMCreateFlightLoop_t.

The {} stuff is a struct, which is a way of encapsulating lots of data into one data type.

Enthusiast

or you have an extra '('

pipecallbackid = XPLMCreateFlightLoop(XPLMCreateFlightLoop_t){
(int) sizeof(int), //Size of *what* struct?!?
NULL, //Deprecated parameter
pipecallback, //Function
NULL //A parameter to give the function. Unused.
}
); maybe its supposed to be like this ?

oh no.

probably not

wizzwizz4

@Enthusiast I'm calling the function XPLMCreateFlightLoop with the struct as input. That isn't a code block, even though it looks like it.

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 IDK maybe (void*) sizeof(int)?

wizzwizz4

9:00 AM

Gimme a sec, I'll find the documentation page.

Enthusiast

hmm

wizzwizz4

@ASCII-only It wants it to be an int...

Here you go: xsquawkbox.net/xpsdk/mediawiki/Category:XPLMProcessing

Also, it doesn't recognise the function XPLMCreateFlightLoop...

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 D: Did you forget a header/library or something

wizzwizz4

@ASCII-only No, I have the #include "SDK/CHeaders/XPLM/XPLMProcessing.h" line right at the top.

Perhaps the docs are wrong and the function's actually elsewhere...?

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 Oh maybe the fourth one should be (void*) NULL?

wizzwizz4

9:03 AM

@ASCII-only Testing it, brb.

Well, the line numbering's fixed... -.>(o.o)<.-

But there's still the Undeclared function 'XPLMCreateFlightLoop' (did you mean '(no name)'?); assuming 'extern' returning 'int'. problem.

... Compiler directives.

@ASCII-only What's the way to read out the value of a macro?

It doesn't matter if it errors out the compiler.

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 #pragma message STR(<MACRO_NAME>)?

orlp

@Lembik for future questions

if you want to confuse anwerers

instead of saying 1, -1 matrix

say B, -B matrix, where B is Legendre's constant

wizzwizz4

@ASCII-only It keeps erroring on the pragma... I have PellesC if that helps...

Lembik

@orlp thanks :)

wizzwizz4

I tried #error STR(<MACRO_NAME>) but it just printed it literally, STR() and all.

ASCII-only

9:14 AM

@wizzwizz4 Huh not sure if there's a way to do it on Pelles C, the major compilers support #pragma message and looks like there's no other way to do it

wizzwizz4

@ASCII-only :-(

I'll try a borked syntax.

... The macro is the empty string...

Ok. That's confusing.

@ASCII-only I think it's complaining about the use of a struct inside a function. How can I work around that?

A: Loopholes that are forbidden by default

Abusing compile-time computation to achieve lower runtime in fastest-code challenges Consider a challenge where solutions must print out as many Fibonacci numbers as possible within a certain time limit. A C++ solution might look like this: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() ...

ASCII-only

@wizzwizz4 Then it's because the function accepts a struct pointer?

Declare the struct elsewhere and call the function asXPLMCreateFlightLoop(&struct) maybe?

It's an .ico file, so it will probably have layers.

wizzwizz4

@mınxomaτ Each layer of a .ico file contains a different image.

You can only see one at once.

Have you got GIMP?

mınxomaτ

@wizzwizz4 Only if you choose too. ICOs don't have to have more than one layer at all.

wizzwizz4

@mınxomaτ I'll check whether this one does.

mınxomaτ

It's still not red :)

It does!

But none of them are red.

They are all just standard re-sizings of each other.

@quartata Profile picture?

More yellow than usual.

@TuxCopter Unfortunately, there is a problem with WPEG: this compression algorithm requires the presumably vast computational power of an external server. Therefore it cannot be used without an Ethernet connection.

And since there is a 1-to-many compression algorithm, you can't even brute-force it!

And the major part of the algorithm is closed-source, so you've got nothing to brute-force with... It's impossible.

feersum

5:47 PM

Also, if you run the code too much, it gets worn out and doesn't work as well.

But it offer a stupidly big compression ratio

This is the classic fizzbuzz -- with a twist. The winner will not be the person whose code is the smallest, but the person whose executable binary is the smallest. Feel free to use any implementation of any compiler you wish, and even to finetune the binary manually. However, the winning entry...

code-golf string binary

wizzwizz4

@feersum No, you can't. I tested the speed of a C and a Python offline implementation by timing 1000000 iterations of each, and my computer froze, overheated then crashed. Turning it on again I found my hard drive filled with garbage. Therefore I deduce that my $29950 CPU, 512GiB RAM and 128TiB SSD are not powerful enough to run this algorithm offline.

It would have worked fine if you didn't wear out the algorithm by running it such an excessively large number of times.

@betseg I didn't manage to kick myself; although I can kick all other users (CMs included (afaik)!) the system doesn't allow me to do it to my own account. Hmm...

... That was close! I almost swore at TheGreatDuck in a comment thanks to the auto-typo module. That... would have been bad.

betseg

if you try to kick yourself on mobile it says "Really, you want to kick yourself? I suggest a long walk instead."

wizzwizz4

@betseg Oh.

On the web page it gives no option at all, or at least not to me.

TuxCopter has been unbanned; The ban was given in error / jest.

@betseg No, I'm not. I don't drink alcohol.

TuxCopter wasn't really banned...

I really need to work on my sense of humour, don't I?

@betseg Yeah, my sense of humour needs improving.

I'll stop trying to be funny until I'm something recognisable as vaguely good at it.

Q: Visualize an Array

Given an array of any depth, draw its contents with borders of +-| around each subarray. Those are the ASCII characters for plus, minus, and vertical pipe. For example, if the array is [1, 2, 3], draw +-----+ |1 2 3| +-----+ For a nested array such as [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7, 8]], draw +--...
