5:03 AM
so, I found this cryptic file from september 28, 2013:
('*&[} %aiK@#\'J534;!./4(%2
R5"9;(!#+%2'[12,24].tr('!-;
','a-z ')<<?,).each_char do
|c|$><<c;sleep (1.0)/20;end
 
is it formatted like that
 
yes
 
o.o
do you have any way of running it
 
it's Ruby, and it actually does something
 
neat
 
5:04 AM
It's not Hello World, is it?
 
I also found a Ruby program that traps all errors. ^C is considered an interrupt error in Ruby
I had to background it and kill %1
because it read input in an infinite loop -_-
... okay, kill didn't work because that's also an error in Ruby
kill -9 did it...
 
import java.util.Scanner;
public class is_it_like_this{
    Scanner sc;
    public static void troll(){
        try{
            String s = sc.nextLine();
        }catch(Exception e){
            troll();
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args){
        sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        troll();
    }
}
 
@KennyLau I get trolled either way ;-;
The dankness is strong with this one
 
so did it do anything
 
lol
@Doorknob Why don't you just close it?
 
5:09 AM
close what, the terminal?
 
yep
 
because I didn't want to have to go find the directory again :P
 
I see xd
what does kill -9 do?
 
kills with SIGINT
 
kills it with the -9 flag which kills it without asking it if it wants to be killed
 
5:11 AM
that's so cruel xd
 
er wait, not INT, it's KILL
 
Ctrl-Break for super kill, at least in Windows
 
@Maltysen "Hey, do you want to be killed?" "Yes please."
 
-9 kills it the deadest
 
what is break? @feersum
 
5:12 AM
@El'endiaStarman nihilist programs :P
 
It means you need to hit the button so hard it breaks.
 
I wonder what kill -4.5 is. Kill it halfway? 50% chance of being killed?
 
kill: invalid signal number: -4.5
 
there are numbers from 0-16 for kill irrc
 
they go to 31
 
5:13 AM
Ctrl-Break in case of emergency.
 
Hey, do kill -11 and turn it up to 11!
 
just opened htop and it looks like they do go to 31
 
11 is SIGSEGV
aka the signal for a segfault
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ sleep 10000
^Z
zsh: suspended  sleep 10000
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ kill -11 %1
[1]  + segmentation fault  sleep 10000
^ that's how I figured that out :P
 
Is there any data type of 4 bits?
 
Nibble.
...or is that 2 bits?
 
5:15 AM
A nibble is 4 bits yes
 
@Doorknob kill -0 is cancel lol
 
@El'endiaStarman spelled nybble
 
Java:

1 bit: boolean
8 bits: byte
16 bits: short
32 bits: integer
64 bits: long
 
I think a chomp is 16 bits.
 
5:16 AM
Rust's names make sense though
i8, i16, i32, i64...
 
I mean is there any programming language which uses a data type of 4 bits?
 
Probably not any modern ones...
 
well, it is exactly a hex digit
maybe I would call it a hex
 
@Doorknob that's lame, all terms should be incomprehensible to somebody who doesnt use the language
 
@Doorknob Does Rust allow you to do i7?
 
5:17 AM
no
 
i128?
 
@Doorknob What about i1?
 
core i5?
 
IIRC it's only 8, 16, 32, 64
 
iMac?
 
5:18 AM
(there's i8, i16, ... and f8, f16... for floats)
 
ii, matey?
 
Well what does that ellipsis after i64 represent?
 
and also u8, u16, ... for unsigned types
 
There's a couple of esolangs that use 4 bits but they're, well, esolangs
 
@feersum the f[...] and u[...] types
 
5:18 AM
@Sp3000 e.g.?
 
Also isize and usize
and char I guess that doesn't count though
 
@Sp3000 Why would someone do that ._.
 
> Viktor's amazing 4-bit processor
Viktor's Processoro Supreme
 
5:19 AM
> Viktor's amazing 4-bit processor is an esoteric computer hardware
 
there are more pages under nybble than nibble
 
@Doorknob An assembly language!!!!!!!!!
 
wtaf
 
> designed and soldered by
 
this is impressive
 
5:20 AM
What in the world is "esoteric hardware"??
 
hardware that is esoteric
 
.-.
 
should Cheddar's logo just be a slice of cheese or something else?
 
it should be a slice of mozzarella cheese
@Downgoat don't go reinventing the cheese wheel for the logo
 
@Downgoat Do you even need to ask this question? Why would it be anything other than cheese?
 
5:22 AM
how's that?
 
@KennyLau Also while I'm at it, I'm not going to provide what I have for the Befunge test cases because I have no proof of optimality
 
@AlexA. it could be an avocad
 
@Downgoat make it a juic avocad
 
@Downgoat That's not related to cheddar
 
5:23 AM
@Sp3000 so... I'll just write what I can prove? I'll wait for someone to develop an optimal algorithm
 
Hey @Sp3, has your ><> review been well received? :)
 
@Downgoat -3/10 not cheddar cheese
 
@KennyLau Sure, that sounds good. I'd prefer to be sure of optimality, rather than posting a test case saying "the best I have is this but I don't know if we can do better"
 
@Maltysen its goat cheez
 
5:24 AM
@Downgoat Brie is not goat cheese
 
I found a file called 1337h4xx0r.rb
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ ruby looksImportant.rb

@AlexA. Was okay - seems like OP's new to both CR and PPCG, and posted a few Befunge answers in the past few days
 
> Hacking IP 101.13.171.155
uhhhh
 
@Doorknob was this the "make it look like I'm working"?
 
@Maltysen probably
It apparently generates IPs randomly
 
5:25 AM
does Cheddar chese have holes?
 
why would you want to look like you were hacking something
does it randomly choose "algorithms" and "functions"
 
The 1337h4xx0r.rb file contained one line, which executed the looksImportant.rb file O_o
3
 
Sounds like a bad popcon.
 
@poi830 I think so
 
how's this?
 
5:27 AM
deriving data lol
@Downgoat good, but not enough avocad
 
rogue drone tries to kill its creator
 
it has begun
 
rare footage
 
@orlp Marky must of been running it
 
@Sp3000 Oh, posted them here? That's great. :)
 
5:28 AM
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ ruby rsent.rb
The giant orange dog drank the computer.
um ok
 
@Doorknob wat
 
upload your oldstuffs folder to github please
i need to see this
 
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ ruby jspre.rb
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ cat jspre.rb
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ ...
why is that file just... empty
 
5:30 AM
@Doorknob upload oldstuffs to github please
 
@Doorknob also upload ~/.ssh/
 
just upload root
 
> poseted
>_<
 
to whoever answered "what logo":
 
@Downgoat how do I change my vote now that I know which logo it is?
 
5:32 AM
you cant
 
@Maltysen uh, just tell me
 
I try for thirtee minuit and no chaneg
 
its the beauty of strawpoll
 
@Downgoat To be fair, you posted like 10 pictures of cheese, so it was difficult to determine which picture of cheese you were referring to.
 
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ ruby special\ numbers.rb
um hello
hi?
0, and that's all
what
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ wait what happened
 
5:32 AM
@Maltysen i tri mak logo thirtee minut an no 1 liek
 
@Doorknob the third line was output, the rest was me typing
 
lol
code for the program?
 
@Doorknob wait is an actual command though :P
 
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ wait what happened
wait: job not found: what
 
rip
 
5:33 AM
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ ruby special\ numbers.rb
123
456
131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, and that's all
789
 
@Sp3000 Nice, thanks for the link.
 
@Doorknob is that... primes? what primes?
 
@Doorknob whats the code for the program
 
@Doorknob 456 isn't prime
 
@Maltysen that was my input
 
5:34 AM
nor is 123
 
ohh
 
oh ok
 
for x in ((gets.chomp.to_i)..(gets.chomp.to_i))
  print x.to_s + ', ' if x.to_s == x.to_s.reverse and isPrime(x)[0]
end
puts 'and that\'s all'
isPrime is a prime check at the top
it looks horribly inefficient also
 
i see
 
palindrome primes
 
5:34 AM
yeah
 
so it counts 0 as a palindrome prime?
what about 1
 
apparently
llama@llama:...misc/oldstuffs/ruby$ ruby special\ numbers.rb
0
100
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and that's all
okay
the prime check is broken lol
 
lmao 9
 
and 4
post the prime-check code
this is code-review
 
5:36 AM
who submitted as Downgoat ಠ_ಠ
 
@poi830 can I not do that
it's terrible
 
@Doorknob its required of you
 
@AlexA. ;_;
 
It's potentially close to the worst code I've written (did I write this?)
it considers 4 and 9 prime hahaha
 
5:37 AM
 
two people submitted as downgoat lol
 
okay, here you go...
def isPrime i
  prime=true
  badnum=0
  i=i.to_i
  (2...(Math.sqrt i)).each do|x|
    if i% x==0 then prime=false
      badnum=x
      break
    end
  end
  return prime, badnum
end
wince
 
> Are you a stalker? Plz don't stalker me.
no one has that username on ppcg
 
why does it return "badnum" if the program doesnt even use it
 
@poi830 there are more pressing questions to be asked
 
5:39 AM
fair enough

@AlexA. yeah, suuuuuuuuure…
 
@Maltysen I've been in and out of here doing other things so I barely know what's happening right now
 
@Doorknob upload to github please i need to use this for everything
 
5:43 AM
@AlexA. ¬_¬
 
@AlexA. I'm looking through an old directory full of insanely bad code
 
@AlexA. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think it uses the same prime checking code...
 
@KennyLau They can only be competitive for winning if they were created before a challenge was posted though.
 
so these non-numbers are 0 which count as prime?
 
@AlexA. @Downgoat I mean, generally when do we allow languages newer than a challenge participate in a challenge?
 
@Doorknob i wrote ti-basic programs more functional than these
 
5:46 AM
@Downgoat brb, making socks with those usernames
 
@poi830 I... I guess...
 
@KennyLau we always due but it is not eligable for getting the freen checkmard

Q: "Hello, World!"

Martin BüttnerSo... uh... this is a bit embarrassing. But we don't have a plain "Hello, World!" challenge yet (despite having 35 variants tagged with hello-world, and counting). While this is not the most interesting code golf in the common languages, finding the shortest solution in certain esolangs can be a ...

"Unlike our usual rules, feel free to use a language (or language version) even if it's newer than this challenge."

@QPaysTaxes What do you mean?
 
5:46 AM
@KennyLau that question is a catalog so it is an exception
 
@KennyLau They can always participate they're just not eligible for winning.

@Doorknob wow you cant even do arithmetic how are you in algebra
 
@zyabin101 So my friend who is also a programming guy and also an engineering guy took one look at UGL and decided to try implementing it in Arduino
 
@Doorknob amusingly i have that same program on my calculator lmao
 
Not very soon, since he's busy as heck, but I thought you'd be glad to know
 
@KennyLau for some reason, one of my friends' translations for the tahu*8 sentence is: "Suddenly, tofus know (that) tofus know."

@Sherlock9 Don't you have a plural marker?
 
@Downgoat it tells me ive already responded but i only see an avocadowngoat
 
@KennyLau I think that's reduplication, but I'm not sure how we structured it in this case. It has been more than a month now since we thought it up, and none of us bothered to write it down till now :P
 
@Downgoat I would but its not letting me respond again? Should I try again with my spam accounts?

Q: Convert to Roman Numeral!

Kenny LauYour task is to convert a given positive integer from Arabic numeral to Roman numeral. Things get difficult when you count to 4000. The romans did this by adding a line above a symbol to multiply that symbol by 1 000. However, overlines aren't exactly displayable in ASCII. Also, there are doubl...

@Downgoat me neither
 
@Sherlock9 thanks for the legitimate repsonse
 
@Doorknob
 
And I do find it amusing that "dan" meaning "and" is an anagram of "and"
@Downgoat Not a problem :D
