If a string of length n has a prefix of length less than n that matches a suffix we call it bad. If not, we call it good. For example 01011 is good and 010101 is bad.
The task
Your code should output the number of good strings of length 1,2,3,..., with alphabet size 1,2,3,4,5 one per line, and...
you can pass geometric_transform a pointer to a PyCObject
that SO question is trying to do basically the exact same thing, and the answer shows how to do it in Cython. the problem is that i can't figure out how to properly pass my coefficients as a pointer
Do you think having a rule in the Samurai KOTH disallowing "strategic duplicates" (that is, two entries with different source code that implement the exact same strategy) is a good idea?
fun fact about Fission Numbers: N = 11 is the only number up to 10k for which F(N) > N. The only numbers (up to 10k) for which F(N) = N are 1, 3, 5, 6, 23
@Katya the only way round that would be for a bot to have a unique starting combination which tells the other bot who they are and then one can roll over and die
Yeah, I have the two that I'm posting on the challenge (one that acts randomly, one that just waits)
and I have another two which I used during testing which won't be posted (one that acts randomly but doesn't kill itself, one that tries to "charge up" to the sword of the gods)
I plan on submitting a bot that the simply uses the SotG by bowing 9 times and alternating bowing + random attack. If the SotG is a viable strategy, then that bot might be competitive.
@sirpercival If there's anything else you want to speed up in python, have you tried pypy? It's much more likely to work with existing python code without needing modification, but also provides a significant speed improvement for most code
Let's say that both players are alternative bowing and SotG. Then if they attack/bow in unison, then the SotG inflicts 4/3 damage per 2 turns and the normal sword inflicts 1/3 damage per 2 turns.
If they perform opposite actions (one bows while the other strikes) then SotG does 2 damage per 2 turns and normal weapon does 1 damage per two turns.
The SotG player prefers the first scenario, the normal player prefers the second scenario.
(Looking at the ratios of the damages to each other)
Now let's look at the number of "free" strikes that the normal player would get while the SotG player is charging up.
In the first situation it is 4, in second it is 5.
@Katya Is the 100ms per turn time limit to allow for slower languages/complex strategies? Decreasing it could make a big difference to how many games you can run.
What general tips do you have for golfing in sed? I'm looking for ideas which can be applied to code-golf problems and which are also at least somewhat specific to sed (e.g. "remove comments" is not an answer).
Please post one tip per answer.

During my academic studies, I have always been ambitious in pursuing academic research with no luck. All the professors whom I came across with or I attempted to set up an advisor-advisee relationship with, in some way kicked me from the deck of the ship. This was not due to my lack of knowledge ...
Basically, a guy has been saying that all his potential advisors have been rejecting him and he blames them all for being incompetent. He even claims his love life is a disaster but he is not to blame.
Coin Tossing Time Travelers

In the future when time traveling (TT) will be common coin tossing will become a serious mind-sport. To prepare for the future we create a competition for programs where time traveling will be really happening from the viewpoints of the entries.

@Katenkyo Yeah, sorry about that. We were performing an experiment. It appears you can ping a user based on the first 3 letters of their username and I was trying to figure out what happens when usernames are not unique on the first 3 characters. As it turns out, it just pings everybody with those 3. In this case both you and @Katya were pinged.
And then of course I forgot that it might be pinging you too so I kept pinging Katya using Kat.
@AlexA. No problem, I did read the conversation and figured out that you were experimenting. I was just surprised because I didn't think someone would ping me :p
