@Dennis That means you pushed something to the repo and didn't pull it locally

Dennis

Ah, I'm in the testing branch. That wasn't intentional.

A merge should fix that, no?

You can merge with master then push master or just push your test branch.

Dennis

Or make a backup, checkout master, copy the backup over the master files and push.

Alex A.

@AlexA. You put this thing called Homebrew on an SD card and insert it into your Wii. Do a little exploit magic and bam, the Homebrew Channel is installed on your Wii. This channel will load any applications loaded on your SD card, giving you access to do anyting. These applications are written in C/++ and are compiled to the ARM processor on the Wii. The Homebrew Channel just runs the code.

I'm using a program called Nintendont which will load Gamecube ISOs from your SD card and run them natively.

@AlexA. They were dumb for naming it that, it has nothing to do with Homebrew

I don't know if @Lembik is still in here, but I think you'll need a better programmer to implement your doubling idea. I'm getting a lot of misses writing up factorization code over here

Thomas Kwa

@PhiNotPi Stress is force over cross-section

20 N/(2.5^2*pi)

Alex A.

@ThomasKwa Why do you know so many things

Thomas Kwa

@AlexA. I didn't know this particular thing. I Googled "stress strain" because I knew what kind of stress the problem was talking about, but I didn't know the definition. Which led me to

Stress–strain curve

The relationship between the stress and strain that a particular material displays is known as that particular material's stress–strain curve. It is unique for each material and is found by recording the amount of deformation (strain) at distinct intervals of tensile or compressive loading (stress). These curves reveal many of the properties of a material (including data to establish the Modulus of Elasticity, E). Stress–strain curves of various materials vary widely, and different tensile tests conducted on the same material yield different results, depending upon the temperature of the specimen...

Which has a definition of stress right in the middle of the intro.

Alex A.

Oh

Thomas Kwa

If you're asking that in general, it's probably because I read a lot.

El'endia Starman

hi @Sherlock9

Sherlock9

Well I got something to run

Lembik

@Sherlock9 what do you mean by misses?

Sherlock9

But it only gets to 1050

Well, I keep making mistakes in the code

Lembik

ah :)

how large a power of two do you get up to?

Sherlock9

5:15 AM

I get the feeling that asking Peter or primo to try doubling would work better

Lembik

are you still doing trial division?

Sherlock9

24 and yes

Lembik

trial division will kill you

Sherlock9

It takes more than a minute at 25

That's what primo did

shrugs

Lembik

really??

Sherlock9

5:16 AM

Read their code a minute

Lembik

I see "pre-calced sieve of eratosthenes "

Sherlock9

They generate primes with a sieve and to check for prime powers they do trial division

Lembik

ah ok

do you know what is taking most of the time?

for your code

Sherlock9

Nope

Lembik

1050 seems very low :(

I think you need to get up to closer to 2^32

primo's code seems to get there right?

35184372095267 35184372098147 2880 95.42778062820435

for example

PhiNotPi

5:19 AM

@ThomasKwa that's definitely correct. I guess I was just crazy.

Lembik

35,184,372,098,147 >> 2^32

Sherlock9

Hmm. Modified, but still getting only 1464

Lembik

35184372095267 is around 2^45 !

but that is your old code I assume

@Sherlock9 so.. primo gets to around 2055062753 which is around 2^31... I would be interested to know what gap you find around there

Sherlock9

Well it got to 2^31 at around 4 minutes. 2147539337 2147541623 2286 247.94754147529602

I think it's suffering from my just grabbing the first big gap and moving on

Seriously.... It feels like I'm talking to a baby who knows (mostly) proper English.

Thomas Kwa

@El'endiaStarman Well, I realized that the shape of the overlap was symmetric, because it involves two identical corner sections of cubes.

El'endia Starman

And then you have to calculate its volume...

Thomas Kwa

6:00 AM

Then I realized that it had a plane of symmetry (the plane between the three vertices of the small cube)

So all I needed to do was calculate the volume of the pyramid between the three vertices on the plane, and the imaginary vertex inside the large cube. That's half the volume

Alex A.

Why are all of you guys so smart

phase

160 stars on Melee

Thomas Kwa

I did it the long way...

El'endia Starman

.....you calculated the area of its base and then its height?

Thomas Kwa

the diagonals of the small cube (long sides of the tetrahedron) are each 3*sqrt(2), so the area of the equilateral base is sqrt(3)*(3*sqrt(2))^2/4

and then I found the height using Pythagoras, obviously

So the volume of the pyramid is 9/2, which makes the volume of the whole overlap 9.

64 (large cube) + 27 (small cube) - 9 (overlap, which was counted twice but should be once) = 82

Of course, I could have just used the other base, the right-angled one

El'endia Starman

6:05 AM

Yup. I did the same thing except I calculated the volume of the pyramid differently.

Put four of them together so you have a square base.

Thomas Kwa

then the area is 9/2 and the height is 3 so the volume is 9/2*3/3

El'endia Starman

yup

Thomas Kwa

which is much easier. I realized it like thirty seconds after I finished the long way.

@MartinBüttner He could do grayscale

SuperJedi224

It has <100 instructions at the moment. But some of them (00-09) allow you to encode the arguments in the color as well.

So maybe 600,000 of the 16.7 million colors actually do something at present

Either way, it seems like it's going to be an interesting language.

@ThomasKwa I agree that changing it from pop-con to golf is suboptimal, but it's not as bad as it often would be because i's such an old question, from the era when the site was almost pure golf, that half of the answers are fairly golfed anyway.

anyone remember this? i.stack.imgur.com/lKG8W.gif

I've been trying to make a larger plot like this

Peter Taylor

The other option would be to edit this one to be code-golf and then get it reopened.

Martin Büttner

(I've got the sequence up to 10M)

however, Mathematica doesn't really seem to be suitable for animating plots with that kind of data size

any suggestions for a better tool to turn a file with 10M (decimal) numbers into such an animation?

Q: Finding a small grid of squares?

I think this problem might be a good for code golf: http://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/23294/what-is-the-smallest-rectangle-containing-the-squares-of-1-through-100 Let us suppose that we have an m×n grid such that every element is a digit in base 10. Then we can read the numbers from a ...

Thomas Kwa

@PeterTaylor Yeah, but the accepted answer to that one isn't golfed.

...I just realized I forgot to implement the 0E03 block

Alright... done.

Now I just need to write a readme...

@MartinBüttner Whether you count each pixel as one byte or three, I think it'll still outperform piet, at least.

@MartinBüttner what sequence is this?

Peter Taylor

@ThomasKwa Add a disclaimer at the bottom of the question?

quintopia

@MartinBüttner this is something I would write a Matlab script for.

Thomas Kwa

@PeterTaylor nnnng

I guess

I don't see the point of keeping it on that question though. No one answers old questions, and if they do, no one votes on those answers.

codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/62500/cat-goes-meow/… I don't think this works but I can't test it. It seems like it would put "cat goes Meowamaran" for "catamaran"

Peter Taylor

If it needs a vote boost, I can put a 100-rep bounty on it.

Should I ask meta how to score it then?

MATL is now v1.0. Who wants to be the first 19b to post solutions in it?

@quintopia find the smallest base in which N has a square number of digits. arrange the digits in that base in a square matrix, transpose it, and convert back from that base.

Q: There's a new graphical language- how to score it?

It was pointed out on chat- and I agree- that scoring Golfical programs as 1 byte per pixel (as has been done with other graphical languages) would probably not be entirely fair. Therefore, let's discuss how to do it. Here are some possibilities: 1 byte for each pixel 3 bytes for each pixel 1...

I mean, I'm all for finally deprecating 32bit, but this strategy is a bit aggressive :D

Q: Numbers that are actually letters

Given a positive integer input, write a program that converts the number to hexadecimal and returns a truthy value if the hexadecimal form of the number contains only the characters A through F and a falsey value otherwise. Test cases 10 ==> True (A in hexadecimal) 100 ==> False (64 in hexad...
