Aaand I just added one myself. :P

Seriously is beating everything but Pyth, Pyke, and 05AB1E so far :D
 
@Mego Beat Minkolang by only 1 byte. I call that pretty impressive for Minkolang. :P
 
I can probably manage 200 bytes.
 
Anonymous
Make that 2 now
 
->c,s{/#{c}/i!~s} yay, idiomatic and elegant Ruby
 
8:06 PM
@Mego Add CJam to the list
@El'endiaStarman Only.... 100 rep... away
darn
 
aww, someone ninja'd me to the Perl solution
 
Anonymous
Down to 7 now
 
@Mego :(
3 6-byte answers now.
 
Anonymous
About to make it 4
 
If the three two-byte commands I used for Minkolang were one byte each, I'd still only achieve 7 bytes.
 
8:11 PM
Bash beat Ruby. O_o
 
Anonymous
6 bytes for Seriously \o/
 
Aaaand +10 question score. I'm satisfied with that. :P
 
HOLY CRAP I WON SOMETHING
 
Anonymous
@Dennis Can you pull Seriously? I updated it last night and forgot to ask
 
Aaand there's the Jelly answer.
> Jelly should really have string manipulation atoms by now.
hehehehe
 
8:15 PM
Hm, I should do a Rust answer
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Awesome :)
 
Anonymous
And back up to 8 because I'm a derp
 
@Doorknob That Bash answer seems to be skirting input requirements to have it as one string...
 
8:17 PM
> For functions, you may take the character and string as separate arguments.
 
@TimmyD It's fine to have them as separate arguments.
 
ninja'd (ON YOUR OWN QUESTION) :P
 
Lemme edit the question to clarify that you can do that for programs too.
 
I'm OK with this, as it'll shave another two bytes for me. :)
 
:) I also updated the question to say that the string may come first. Wasn't what I originally intended, but I saw several answers doing that, and I don't mind letting them do that.
 
8:21 PM

A: Is it a lipogram?

DoorknobRust, 75 bytes |c:char,s:&str|!s.to_lowercase().contains(c.to_lowercase().next().unwrap()) Biggest score means I win, right? >_< Try it here.

I bet Java is shorter than this -___-
 
did we all stop golfing in November?

A: Is it a lipogram?

shooqieJava, 63 bytes. boolean f(String s,char c){return!s.matches("(?i:.*"+c+".*)");}

 
heh
 
Yup. :P
 
@Doorknob Woah, I think there's 2 Rust answers now. ;)
 
8:22 PM
Is there another one? I didn't see it if there is.
 
I don't see one.
 
Oh, not on that challenge, I meant on the site.
 
ಠ_ಠ
:P
 
@Optimizer Wha?
 
"I wonder when it'll get on HNQ." *scrolls down* "Oh there it is."
 
8:24 PM
@TimmyD no shave november
 
...
 
I stopped shaving bytes and started chopping them off by the dozen.
 
coz u code in Java?
 
@Mego Done.
 
8:28 PM
hm, now Bash is the shortest of the non-golfing languages
 
@Optimizer If by that you mean JavaScript, then yes.
 
@Doorknob that's... unusual
 
so you think that by Java, I meant JavaScript?
 
Nooooooooooo.... one golfing lang got ahead of the other seven :(
@Optimizer I read something about "Java, also known as JavaScript,..." the other day, I don't remember where though...
I thought it was here
 
:D
 
8:30 PM
 
@ETH: "Error: Japt.stdout must be sent to an HTMLElement", three times per click of "Run".
I'm using Chrome.
 
@El'endiaStarman That's a bug and I'm not sure what causes it. Try reloading, works for me most of the time.
 
@MorganThrapp [twitch].......that HAS to have been done on purpose...
@ETHproductions Huh, that worked. Weird.
Maybe you've got a race condition of some sort?
 
It's like the Japt file gets loaded after the page tries to set up the Japt variables...
Not sure why reloading would fix that :/
 
[views source]
Try putting your script tags at the end of the body. That way, all of the HTML elements are loaded before the scripts.
 
8:34 PM
@MorganThrapp Wow.
 
I tried that, but they wouldn't load for some reason.
Maybe I messed something up... lemme try again.
Oh, I also tried moving the onload="splitAddress()" to various places, but none worked except on the <body> tag.
 
Why the downvote on @Liam's answer? It seems to be perfectly valid.
 
I was wondering that too.
Maybe because there's already a bash answer?
 
@El'endiaStarman Moved the script tags. Does it seem to work better now?
 
8:37 PM
@Downgoat and @VoteToClose github.com/vihanb/PPCG-Design/commit/…
 
Porpoise OR Propose, a compromise.
@ETHproductions It was fun. :P
 
Thank you!
No more arguments over that stupid word :P
 
@ETHproductions Not sure how I'm gonna test if refreshing fixes the problem...gonna try anyway. :P
 
Your opinion?
 
8:38 PM
@El'endiaStarman Try closing the tab and using the link again
 
@ETHproductions propose/porpoise
 
@RikerW propoise
 
hey hey

Maybe I should actually put that in?
 
new peak of 10.8 qpd
 
8:39 PM
@Doorknob YES YES YES YES YES \O/
 
@ETHproductions Well, I can't reproduce it, so it's probably fixed.
 
5 hours ago, by Mego
I predict us hitting 11 q/day this week
 
@El'endiaStarman We'll see. Let me know if you find that bug again.
 
Almost there.
 
BTW, @El'endia, 194 hotness points :)
 
8:42 PM
Where?
 
On "Is it a lipogram?"
 
How did you get the hotness points though? Just used the formula?
 
hovered over the link
 
Also, five PPCG challenges on there! :P
 
I don't know the formula :P
 
8:44 PM
OOOH, COOL!
It's nice being on top. :3
:P

@Dennis Thanks
 
Wooo, my first question got on the hot list. :)

152 rep till 10k!
 
@phase I still remember your language:

quartataO, 8 bytes {._@_-=} Try it online.

 
Well, I did get 95 rep so far today... :P
 
@quartata @AlexA.
 
@Doorknob ?
What did I do
 
8:47 PM
just pinging Alex for that message :P
 
I'm currently the leader of the >10k'ers :P
 
@ETHproductions Huh, I didn't know you could see the points by hovering over the link

Q: Reading a timeline

muddyfishInspired by Draw a timeline. Given a timeline of events, output the date for each event. A timeline will be given in the form 2000 --AF-C-------E--D---B-- Where the first line shows a known point in time. The known year is always the character below the first digit of the known year You...

 
oh I get it
 
8:49 PM
@quartata The "Run" button is supposed to work, right?
 
@El'endiaStarman er yes
 
Anonymous
@El'endiaStarman I don't think phase ever fixed permalinks
 
Oops I just noticed a mistake
 
@Mego Ah, guess not. The code box had 17 bytes in it.
...and yet, after refreshing and copy-pasting the code...
Output:
{._@_-=}

Stack:
[{._@_-=}]
....@phaaaaaase...
 
Yay! I hit 3k rep!
 
8:52 PM
The perma links work fine for me.
 
@GamrCorps Congrats :)
 
@GamrCorps \o/
 
@quartata You're using Chrome, right?
 
@El'endiaStarman Yea.
 
...oh wait, I see now.
 
8:53 PM
@GamrCorps oh, sorry, I meant \o? :P
aw, cmon, I almost had a Pyth answer to muddyfish's question and then he wrote his own :P
 
I missed the fact that the input was in the codebox.
pling Here's a +1. :P
 
@phase By the way, you should really add split :P
@El'endiaStarman thank you I iz in nineteenth world country need rep to save village
thank you for donation

@quartata alright, posted it
@Rainbolt awwwww
 
It made me incredibly sad
 
8:56 PM
@MartinBüttner Yeah I didn't think of that at all. You deserve to get that post
@Rainbolt This is depressing
 
It reminded me of the candle gif someone posted last week because of the loop (it kinda has the same theme going to it)
 
Just did a Ctrl+F for 'e' on my lipogram question which actually made me giggle. It's funny how many 'e's there are in the second half (and all over the page) except for that one part.
 
@El'endiaStarman Ha-ha! Now I'm... ah man, still 100 rep?
What is this foul sorcery

I still don't understand why your Seriously answer got 7 upvotes when my Jolf answer is shorter by 6 bytes and only got 3.
It must be the fancy CP437 characters.
 
Anonymous
9:03 PM
It's because JS hate
 
link to answer?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You need to make your code page look weirder so people have no idea what is going on
 
Is my version of @Neil's answer different enough to warrant a separate answer?
 
It deserves my votes.
 
that's the secret to a good golfing language
 
9:03 PM
@ETHproductions No, bc is same regex just golfed.

@ETHproductions Probably not

@ETHproductions eh not really
My rule of thumb is if it is two or more changes it's different enough
 
@quartata You haz teh votes
 
What's with Duolingo? Every select-the-translation picture task has orange and potato as two of the choices. Are those like the staples of German diets?
 
Anonymous
9:04 PM
Actually the reason I want to believe is that it's more impressive because Seriously has like 0 support for manipulating strings
 
@El'endiaStarman No it's to encourage you to eat oranges so you don't get scurvy
 
Anonymous
@El'endiaStarman Such is life
 
@Mego True but most people don't know that
I'm telling you it's the ╩ and $╝
 
@quartata We do, cos codegolf is smart
 
people can't resist weird chars
 
9:06 PM
haha
 
@Solver Know every shortcoming of every obscure esolang? Impressive
 
Weird chars are the best for trees.
 
That's why Emotinomicom got so many upvotes, no?
 
:d
 
@ETHproductions yea

@Downgoat what did you do to the userscript in chat and why does it look like butt now
 
?
Silence is held.
 
Anonymous
And not just because it says "beta"
 
1/5 stars would not date again
 
@Mego It's because you have to sign in.
And no-one likes signing in.
 
9:08 PM
@Mego That must be a bug; the beta label should be disabled by the userscript
 
Anonymous
@Solver Yes, because I'm chatting without signing in

Solution: disable userscript for chat URLs
 
@Mego is outdated.

In chat, not on main
 
9:09 PM

Yeah the userscript screws up chat a lot.
I actually have it disabled.
 
Solution: disable userscript

Will you change your avatar to a downboat?
 
Are you slowly transforming into abby hairboat?
 
9:21 PM
Is there a sensible way of log-ing negative and positive scales together?
For instance, say you want to plot PPCG questions by question score.
 
But you want a logarithmic scale?
 
since that's integer data I guess you could do it
could be a bit misleading though
 
Using a log scale is a good idea because then you can see all questions in the same window, so to speak.
But there are 0 score and negative score questions...
 
well you could have tick labels for 100, 10, 1, 0, -1, -10
 
9:23 PM
I was told to pass this on ^^
 
substract the minimal score?
 
but the 1, 0, -1 part could look weird
 
@GamrCorps Why?
 
log(score+10000)
 
9:23 PM
@GamrCorps Where did VTC post this? I have to ban him there as well...

Q: Adding up the digits and the digits reversed

LamaroGiven a number > 0, output the sum with all digits (1 .. n) concatenated and reversed and add them up. For example, with n = 6: The numbers 1 to 6 concatenated: 123456 Reversed: 654321 Adding them up together will result in: 777777. Another example is n = 11: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 > 123...

 
@Solver VTC was suspended so that he wouldn't waste time on PPCG+chat during a time he really needs to study.
 
@GamrCorps unstarred cuz now my starboard says 2,3,4,5,6
 
@Dennis Discord
 
Wait, VTC is banned?
 
9:25 PM
he needed to get work done
 
@Dennis I never imagined that on StackExchange
 
Nah, not really.
3 hours ago, by VoteToClose
@Dennis Could you please freeze my account and chat ban me for 3 days (or whatever time period is shortest past that)? I'm going to be really busy in school the next few days and CG is just going to get in the way.
 
@NewMainPosts Hmm, I'm getting better at FGITW
 
@Dennis Ohhhhhh. Sometimes I wish that were applied to me. Just not right now :P
 
@quartata *TFGITW
(Third FGITW :P)
 
9:26 PM
@Dennis I noticed that edit
 
@ETHproductions Agreed.
 
@El'endiaStarman True but mine was golfier than the rest so I think that counts a bit more
 
@quartata What edit?
 
@Dennis .. oh sorry
 
9:27 PM
I didn't see no edit.
 
Everyone knows about 19th Byte++ though.
You don't have to hide it.
 
I don't :)
 
@quartata Still, better to not provide a link to it...
 
Several links have been provided to in the past
 
@quartata And I know who's to blame for that...
 
9:28 PM
What is teh 20 btye room?
 
> This account is temporarily suspended for rule violations. - VoteToClose's profile
Rule violations meaning spending too much time on PPCG and not enough time on schoolwork?
 
@MartinBüttner Actually Doorknob really is to blame this time
 
What is it anyway?
 
@RikerW err... nothing
 
haha
secrecy
Meh, I'm fine
 
9:29 PM
i AM NOT
A mod only room?
 
There's no such thing. Trust me.
 
@RikerW INVERSE cAPS lOCK ftw
 
@RikerW No...
 
@ETHproductions yES1
 
OK so maybe all SE sites have their own mod chat room
And maybe there's a global one too
But I mean
What do I know
 
9:30 PM
@ETHproductions Well, to be fair, none of the usual suspension reasons fit. Still, Dennis probably could have chosen the custom reason. ... Wait, @Dennis, you did pick the custom reason, right?
 
Probably just an urban legend
 
@RikerW That's ShiftLock, not CapsLock.
 
i KNOW
 
@quartata I want to become a mod so I can find out for myself whether these rumors are true
 
@ETHproductions I'm just kidding. Yes, they exist.
 
9:31 PM
Same.
 
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, I did. Looks like I should have picked something else.
 
It's called the Teacher's Lounge. (the global one)
 
but @quartata is no mod
 
@Dennis But...there isn't a better option.
 
Meta SE stalker, mod, it's all the same.
 
9:31 PM
Well, maybe "excessive self-promotion"... :P
 
hahahaha
 
translate de: the chocolate
(from English) die Schokolade
Duolingo has a funny symbol in place of the ending 'e'.
...no, it's a visual glitch.
The 'e' overlaps with a '2' underneath.
 
why are you learning German?
 
In large part due to the shared language history between English and German.
 
To be smart.
 
9:36 PM
I noticed a few times that I could understand some German phrases without any prior attempt to learn German.
 
Wow, I've actually almost mortarboarded today.
This competition is really motivating
This will be the first time I've mortarboard by actually putting in effort
 
@quartata 140 rep is "almost mortarboarded"? :P
 
Hahaha
 
70% of the way there? Sure.
 
Anonymous
@El'endiaStarman I call that "monday"
 
9:40 PM
@quartata What competition do you speak of?
 
so close..
 
@ETHproductions I have to beat El'endia to 10k
@GamrCorps !
 
@quartata Oh, OK
 
9:41 PM
He's ahead by 96 rep currently
 
I should be hitting that sometime this week, depending on how many answers I post
 
Consider donating some rep to the cause
"Exterminate all impossible hedgehogs"

Lenny face
 
@Rainbolt I just google image searched for Charmander and found this: newsmax.com/Newsmax/files/4a/…
 
9:42 PM
lol
 
@MartinBüttner Oh yes. That. It became an internet meme immediately.
 
lol
 
@quartata Oh, I thought you guys were around 8k each... I guess it won't be long before you are.
 
A few weeks?
 
@Dennis Suppose I have something as a left argument and I want to apply a function that puts the result in the right argument. How I do
Actually wait
Nevermind
I'm dumb
 
9:48 PM
Wow. I took off my glasses, zoomed Visual Studio to 121%, and I feel liberated.
 
@quartata Aw, just when I started to mind.
 
Better question: How do I join an array with no separator
 
Is it nested?
 
No.
 
F
(flatten)
 
9:49 PM
Do strings automatically coerce into ints (when appropriate)?
 
Nope.
 
OK so Jelly can for sure not outgolf 05AB1E at this
phew
 
brb checking gs2
 
I'd be very impressed if any language could outgolf Osable.
 
@Dennis nononononono
crap I forgot about gs2
get to the esolangs folder
 
9:52 PM
@El'endiaStarman I think quartatertots is talking about the Adding up the digits and the digits reversed challenge.
Also, LOL @ Osable.
 
oh
That makes more sense.
Dec 29 '15 at 0:20, by El'endia Starman
I keep reading 05AB1E as "Osable". :P
Dec 29 '15 at 0:26, by El'endia Starman
It's headcanon now. I'mma keep saying it that way. :P
Dec 29 '15 at 0:26, by El'endia Starman
(And then, of course, I will inevitably try to search for "Osable" and fail...)
 
lol
True.
 
Actually, because of you, I now always pronounce 05AB1E as Osable
 
lol
 
or Osabie
 
9:54 PM
HA HA! YUS! A CONVERT!
 
Hahahaha
 
I pronouce as Osable too.
 
I like that. I needed a mnemonic for the pull command.
 
Yep, it's Osable now.
 
Now I just need a mnemonic for mnemonic.
 
9:56 PM
@Dennis I doubt gs2 can do it in 7 bytes but I invite you to try
 
@quartata Well, I'm no Jimmy. Jimmy can will a code golf with Lenguage...
 
hahaha
Yes, true
 
We should start PPCG facts. That would be the first one.
