thanks dictionary

Jo King

(but in this case, it's fortnightly)

pxeger

@Bubbler what are you gonna do if I bookmark something else under the name biweekly-mini-golf-6?

Bubbler

What, is that US/UK thing too?

@pxeger Well, I won't be here on #6 so I don't care :P

AviFS

@betseg Which dictionary said anything about US vs UK, I was always under the impression that was just an ambiguity of the English language, but not regional.

Oh, I see, on Wikitionary

I'm not sure I believe it...

If it's true that it's UK vs US, it's not very well known

Eg. this article & this article

Are dedicated to the issue of what bimonthly really means, and neither one mentions UK/British/US/American, that I can find

Jo King

i would assume that since outside the US we already have a word for every two weeks, so they always assume that biweekly means twice a week

pxeger

Jul 6, 2021 09:48

is fortnightly not a word used in the US?

AviFS

That's what I'm inferring too, but I don't know if it's actually more likely to be so

Unrelated String

not commonly

AviFS

@pxeger Is fortnightly a word used anywhere?!

Jo King

i don't play it

AviFS

Aka, no.

pxeger

Jul 6, 2021 09:48

@AviFS I use it

Jo King

i use it

pxeger

In fact, I use it regularly enough that you might say I use it fortnightly

AviFS

Are you anywhere?

Unrelated String

i can't speak for all of us but i can readily recognize what fortnightly means but would not necessarily think to use it

pxeger

I'm in the UK

AviFS

Jul 6, 2021 09:49

@UnrelatedString Same. It sounds totally antiquated to me.

Bubbler

@AviFS It is used for a recurring event on Puzzling.SE

pxeger

@UnrelatedString I'd probably just say "every two weeks", tbf

AviFS

Sounds to me pretentious & archaic. Which is kind of a recurring theme with British words...

I guess that means we sound unsophisticated & hip by comparison

pxeger

yup

Unrelated String

i'd say it feels more amusingly archaic than pretentiously archaic

pxeger

Jul 6, 2021 09:51

bemusingly, mayhaps?

AviFS

Hahahah

@UnrelatedString I see what you mean, but it really depends on the tone imo. It could very easily sound pretentious/try hard if one wasn't careful. In this crowd, I'd assume playful. But in most crowds, if with an American accent, I'd just assume obnoxious.

A username

Excuse myself!

pxeger

If you use too many weird/big words in one sentence you'll always sound silly

AviFS

But at least then it's obvious that it's "in jest." If you just say "a fortnight" out of the blue here, it's... really weird.

cmc: strings p q r are such that each is [ab]* and now consider the following: continuously replace the left-most instance of p in r with q, until p is no longer in r. the cmc is to find the p, q that takes the longest number of iterations to halt as a function of the length of r. an example, p=ab, q=bba, r=a^nb, which halts in O(2^n) steps. tio.run/##S0oszvj/vzg1RUHdKtG6wLpYPzFJPykpUd@6JNE6UL2mPFlBN@f//…

Neat one!

AviFS

(A word like hoover sounds specifically British to my ear, whereas a word like fortnight just sounds old fashioned. A Brit would still get away with it obviously, but it'd leave a different taste in my mouth if an American used those two words.)

@Ausername × takes two arguments: a string, and either 0 or 1, and uppercases or lowercases according to the argument. It's designed to be normally used with a static 0 or 1 in the same way the trigonometric function ○ uses 1-6 for sin/cos/whatever, but it can be used with the input. It also vectorises automatically, so it can be used for this challenge

AviFS

goto sleep fortnightly;

pxeger

(I'm talking out of my arse here so please correct me if my guesses are incorrect @Adám)

@AviFS syntax error

Adám

@pxeger Actually, 0 is technically TitleCase, but equivalent to lowercase (-1) for all of ASCII.

pxeger

ah ok

@Adám Super interesting; never would have guessed!

Adám

@Ausername OK, I think that's enough. Please use various touch typing training tools rather than making everyone here suffer.

AviFS

And it thinks this is Russian:

I also got some Hindi, Russian, Slovenian, Dutch & Luxembourgish in between. And a surprising amount of "English" given how far off it is. English & Russian were most common.

See if you can guess which words were which!

@Bubbler May have been asked already, but what would the expected output for something like 1(2(3) where the 3 is contained within the outer matched parens but not its own inner parens? 23 or 2?

Unrelated String

I would assume 3

Jo King

the example doesn't print 6, so i think the brackets still have to be balanced?

Shaggy

@UnrelatedString :facepalm: missed the leading ( in Bubbler's example so 3 would indeed appear to be the correct solution. Time for more caffeine. Much more!

A username

And beer!

Shaggy

Beer comes after caffeine to take the edge off.

Caffeine's my upper, beer's my downer and if I get the balance perfectly right I get a good night's sleep. I'm still perfecting that balance!

Try DSO, my new TIO clone, with 1 language (s10k)!

wow

what sandboxing are you using? /s

None

It's just JS

I might use an iframe at some point

Seriously, the code for s10k is three lines, two of which are boilerplate:
