The Nineteenth Byte

Yeah, let's see... his's called Exo 2, I think

google.com/fonts/specimen/Exo+2

Hmm, the "favorite" icon is just a blank hexagon

@Doorknob 17 hours and no one had posted a Retina answer to the Spanish conjugation challenge yet. phew... :) (I saw it this morning and thought it would be really simple in Retina, but didn't have time to tackle it until now.)

Wait, Exo 2 is just for the header

Ah, it's Source Sans Pro

Oh shoot, I'm almost out of votes on PPCG meta

elections do that.

Maybe I shouldn't have upvoted all of the suggested categories on that page...

(jk, I didn't upvote them all)

"You have 2 votes left today" Well there would be a ton more left if people would just stop posting good suggestions for categories!!!

@JAtkin nahh

@ETHproductions then you'd have to downvote them instead though :P

@JAtkin I don't like the transparency of the questions box.

I wish we could have one unified userscript instead of like ten

You get to pick and choose the best parts

I'm no good at dissecting javascript

Maybe I'll create one where you can separately specify which spritesheets, fonts, and backgrounds you want to use

I mostly just want Conor's style with Downgoat's buttons/badges

I was under the impression that was what we agreed on, at least

Well, if we want to come up with a "final design for graduation" then we should start organizing an attempt to combine these userscripts.

Yeah.

It would be easier if we could get Conor to actually work on the userscript cracks whip

Move this conversation over to the design room?

Slightly more customizable version

@PhiNotPi Sure, can only mods do that?

6:27 PM

Or at least we can continue talking over there.

Hey guys

@MartinBüttner It's hard to tell from all the 20-byte solutions labeled "super duper cheating," but it does in fact appear that primo set a new record on anarchy golf: golf.shinh.org/l.rb?bf

Cool stuff.

@quartata Oh, I didn't even check the plain helloworld challenge.

:P

I like how ev3 submitted it as well...

@quartata I had just seen this: golf.shinh.org/p.rb?Helloworldless+Hello+world but it also has 92 just as the plain HW

Now who could this fellow be ;)

@Mauris have you betrayed us? Have you gone to the dark side... of Anarchy Golf?

an improvement of 11 bytes is absolutely crazy. I really wonder though what the actually optimal solution would be (and whether the program would still make sense to a human).

lol

@MartinBüttner well, the search space is down to only like 2^244 possible programs now. We could probably brute force that in less than a year with a distributed search...

TIL Perl is not an acronym

Q: Make a Frogger Solver

🐸🐸 You must make the shortest program to always find the optimal solution to a simplified Frogger game on a 9x9 grid. Course Elements: L - Log (Length: 3-4). When you hop on a log it carries you with it. V - Vehicle (Length: 1-2) Speed (1-2): On the left hand side of the row will be the s...

@quintopia 2^244 is about the number of elementary particles in the universe.

Start a word with the end of a word When I was younger, I use to play a word game. It was very simple. The first player chooses a word, the next player says another word that starts with the same letter the previous word ended with. This goes on forever until somebody gives up! Trick is, you can...

@ThomasKwa good to know. Obviously we need some good heuristics to weed out programs that could never work without executing them, and a good portion of the planet's computational resources to work with. But even if it takes 1 second to run each program, we can still brute force the full, un-streamlined set in only 9E56 years! According to current theories that means we could know BEFORE the heat death of the universe. And that's assuming only a billion computers are working on it!

what do you guys think?

@TanMath that game is called Geography. It is known to be PSPACE-complete. If it's not a duplicate, it is a good challenge.

how do I put spoilers in an answer?

@quintopia >!

thx

@quintopia it is called a word chain... thanks!

Do you think there are enough testcases?

ok... so there is a similar challenge that uses the three last letters... would mine be a duplicate?

actually nvm.. that challenge is not even a code golf challenge
