Maybe that's why he's upside-down - he's drunk and hanging from the ceiling
 
> The Irish Goat
1 oz. Irish cream liqueur
1 oz. coffee liqueur
2 scoops rumplemint ice cream
Sounds like it needs something a bit harder to fill it out, but it's a start.
 
That's a lot of ice cream for very little liquor
 
What in the world is rumplemint ice cream
 
I just read "reimplemented ice cream"

@Shebang I assume it's minty and terrible.

@Geobits Add Jameson. It makes everything better.
 
Some sort of whiskey definitely seems like it would work.
 
Anonymous
My standard alcoholic milkshake recipe is a shot each of Baileys, Jameson, and Kahlua, with however much ice cream you need to not feel so bad about the fact that you're about to ingest 4.5 oz of alcohol in dessert form
 
@Mego Oh cool. That's impressively short (even though it isn't golf)

Mint chocolate chip ice cream works well
 
Coffee ice cream sounds like it would be great with that.

Also a good choice

Surprisingly, strawberry ice cream is decent with it
 
Great. Now I need to make a trip to the store :D

For some reason, Notepad++ thinks triple is a keyword in Python
 
does it also think double is a keyword?
 
@DJMcMayhem Feature request: comments
 
Anonymous
@Maltysen Nope, just triple. I also tried single.
 
In brain-flak?
 
Yep.
 
8:24 PM
aren't unknown characters just ignored?
 
The problem is you can't comment out code
 
@WheatWizard you can with (<()>){...}{} :P
 
What a surprise: The Linus is angry about linux 4.8
 
That is what I do its just quite a hassle
 
8:26 PM
@DJMcMayhem I usually write two lines of code one under the other when I'm golfing, so I can directly compare their lengths. That would be much easier with # or a similar comment character.
 
Alright, I'll add some explicit comments. What format do you think they should be?
I like # too. Should I also add block comments?
 
@DJMcMayhem I like C's comments /*....*/
 
@Dennis Will tio v2 support syntax highlighting?
 
It might, eventually. Syntax highlighting is hard...
 
8:36 PM
Found another modulus in Brain-Flak. Sadly, not even one byte shorter than the one I had already.
({}(({}))){({}[()]<({}[()]<(({}))>){(<({}<{}>)>)}{}>)}({}[{}]{})

Q: Find the Swirling Words!

MarioDon't ask me how or why but while coding on a project I noticed that the characters of a couple of words had a particular pattern referred to the alphabet, I connected each character of the words with the pencil on the alphabet and I obtained two spirals, then I noticed that the first spiral was ...

 
Reading things like <{}> and I always wonder to myself "Good grief, what happened to dancing Kirby?!"
 
@Mego can confirm
its really bizarre
 
@WheatWizard I think I'll just stick with linewise comments for simplicity. What would you think about changing the debug flags to @ instead of #?
 
@DJMcMayhem We are doing a major debug flag rewrite at the moment so I see no problem with that
 
8:48 PM
    <Language name="python" ext="py pyw" commentLine="#">
        <Keywords name="instre1">and as assert break class continue def del elif else except exec False finally for from global if import in is lambda None not or pass print raise return triple True try while with yield</Keywords>
Huh.
 
@WheatWizard oh cool. Sounds good. I'll take a stab at that tonight, since I can't work on it right now
 
Wow. That person is ripped.
 
@DJMcMayhem I can do it if you want because I'm literally ditching all the debug flag code and writing it from scratch
 
@WheatWizard Woah. Any particular reason why?
If you could switch them to @ that would be nice, but I can take care of the comments
 
8:52 PM
@DJMcMayhem We want to make debug flags that can take arguments
 
For example?
 
@flawr that is impressive
 
@DJMcMayhem @lt42 will evaluate to 42 so you don't have to write all those ()s
 
@MartinEnder I'm just trying to think of a single application where this could be useful^^
 
Segway Pogo-sticks
 
8:54 PM
I think you're misunderstanding how science works. ;)
 
@TimmyD *autonomous segway pogo sticks that can jump through traffic jams
and produce whipped cream on the go
 
9:42 PM
Any southeast coasters here? Hope you're hunkered down :U
 
@HelkaHomba Looks like it won't be too bad here. Probably get some rain from the outer bands, but that's about it.
The models are showing an odd loop-de-loop a few days out though, so who knows.
 
> Western Hemisphere
 
@flawr Ooooh, that's really cool.
I've actually considered a KotH where you have to write code that balances an inverted pendulum. Since just that by itself would quickly converge to two or more perfect bots, I thought about also adding in wind that changes randomly.
What might be better would be to link two inverted pendulums in such a way that one can affect the other, and then have bots compete that way.
 
not danger noodle
friendly lizard
 
9:59 PM
Allo
CMC: Make the most un-polyglottable language you can.
That fits with our rules of "Programming language".
Is anyone on?
 
What does Woefully do with characters other than | and the space?
 
I hate when I accidentally edit instead of posting
it prints confuse :(
 
@El'endiaStarman How do you simulate the pendulum?
 
the only polyglot you could really make is one that prints confuse :(
 
10:08 PM
@DestructibleWatermelon cute noodle
 
but not for anything else
 
@flawr Same way you would normally simulate a pendulum?
 
hey guys, I had an idea for a language
 
@El'endiaStarman yes, but if the way is known, it is probably easy to predict it
 
@DestructibleWatermelon Technically, you could fit a Whitespace program inside of that
Because there's spaces
 
10:10 PM
@Qwerp-Derp whitespace needs tabs
 
@flawr Not if you have random elements, and not if you toss another bot into the fray.
 
Hai
 
@betseg Hello!
 
How will the io work i dun understand
 
Is it wrong that I think it's fun to watch the ASL signers next to the politicians? (cbsnews.com/live)
 
10:13 PM
Kinda?
 
@betseg you make one program, it takes input. If it is 0, you will post your setup of six squares, from the perspective of player 1
If it is 1, you will then take additional input of a 15 square board
 
@DestructibleWatermelon so, 4 pieces can be placed on 6 squares?
 
exactly 4 pieces
one from each pair
 
@DestructibleWatermelon How does a Woefully program terminate?
 
If in==0{print(abcd)}else{read(board)} right?
 
10:16 PM
@Qwerp-Derp running a path of spaces that isn't a path, but a single space
 
So you can write code after a terminated Woefully program, right?
 
well, you can write it to the side, usually
or underneath the code
 
But won't that cause confuse?
 
I mean, if you're using whitespace
 
@El'endiaStarman and how do they interact?
 
10:19 PM
@flawr I was thinking that one could just attach a bar between the tips of the pendulums, or something more like a U shape.
 
@StevenH. Nah, just standard STDIN/STDOUT
 
@El'endiaStarman And how would they get scored? What would be the objective?
 
Perhaps with a flag for REPL mode
 
@flawr Whichever bot keeps their pendulum above horizontal the longest.
 
@DestructibleWatermelon Also, can you write a prime checker in Woefully?
Guys, I have an idea for Cops and Robbers
 
10:22 PM
yes and no. I am 99% sure its tc, but I won't
 
Make the most un-polyglot-able programming language
 
I'm human
@Qwerp-Derp some programming language that uses a new char set
 
@DestructibleWatermelon You MUST use ASCII
 
some programming language that has to have a random 150 long ascii thing for a 1, and another one for 0: then make spoon
 
@El'endiaStarman And you say you wanna do this on a hyperbolic toroidal space?
 
10:24 PM
I would say... Unary restricted to a single character.
 
Hey destructible
 
=D
 
@flawr Hahahaha no. :P
I'm not sure I'll ever get around to doing it.
 
@betseg wat?
I'm going to change the i/o a bit, to 0 indexed
 
If first input is 1 they will place the pieces in first four squares?
And after the first 1/0 they start io with each other?
 
10:25 PM
@PhiNotPi Can polyglot with Lenguage for some tasks, but that's pretty good.
 
Also the full code of both the adder and prime checker must fit within your post
 
@flawr :( i liked the old avatar better
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ but you ahve to admit, the bowtie is classy as fu3ck
 
yes
but it should be red
and are you drunk?
 
am i supposed to be drunk?
 
10:56 PM
@betseg first six squares. In fact, they only provide 6 squares
@betseg when given 1, it receives the board, and plays a move, and terminates. the program is run each time.
also first input is 0 for setup

Q: KITT car ASCII art

Luis MendoThe 80's TV series Knight Rider featured an intelligent, self-aware car called KITT. One distinctive aspect of the car was a front-mounted scanner bar that allowed KITT to "see" (and that looked suspiciously familiar to fans of another, earlier TV series). The scanner had eight lights as seen in...

So is it a good challenge?

Q: Movie Title Styled String

Q: Make me a histogram... please

DopappYour task is to make a histogram given a sample of arbitrary size. Input A float array or any other reasonable form of input with an arbitrary number of elements. Output The histogram; more to follow. How to make a histogram We'll use the sample: [1.1, 3, 5, 13, 15.5, 21, 29.7, 63, 16, 5,...

 
^ That's definitely a dupe
 
@Dennis I enjoy Jelly as do many others, and I've been wondering what day do you consider to be the birthday of Jelly?
Your initial commit was Dec 3 2015 (github.com/DennisMitchell/jelly/commit/…) but do you recall when you had the idea/inspiration for it, or what day you first began coding it (before uploading to GitHub)
 
11:46 PM
Wow. I'm one vote away from rep capping on a site I've never used before today. O_o
 
What's the max size for an answer?
 
30,000 chars I believe
@DestructibleWatermelon InfoSec
 
@quartata stalker. :P
 
I'm making a cops-and-robbers challenge
On creating the most un-polyglot-able language
 
11:53 PM
@DJMcMayhem If by "stalking" you mean HNQ then yes
 
The cops' task is to create a lang
And to make it fit within our definition of language
And to post the adder and the prime checker in their answer
 
@quartata That's fair. Really, I only clicked on it because I recognized wheat wizard
 
What should the robbers' challenge be?
 
@Qwerp-Derp (or a TC proof?)
 
@DestructibleWatermelon Or that
But I'm guessing most people would go for our definition
 
11:54 PM
@Qwerp-Derp Sounds kind of like this a bit: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/61804/…
 
Yeah, it does
So, I'm thinking the robbers' challenge should be to create a polyglot using that language, and another language on Esolangs (maybe?)
That outputs "Hello, World!" in some form or another
 
@Qwerp-Derp a lot of languages have built ins for that
 
I could just enter woefully lol
 
Making a polyglot trivial
 
except unary or something
 
11:58 PM
That's up to the cops to make it as hard as possible to polyglot
 
or lenguage
 
But you must post the entire source code in the answer for an adder and a prime checker
And they can't exceed 1kb

wouldn't the easiest thing to do would be make two builtins, and say programs error if longer than 1 byte?
 
Hmm, true
