5:02 PM

@Downgoat which browser did you add compatibility for last night? (Just curious). I need to update the readme to reflect the compatible browsers. I've currently tested on FF and Chrome only, I don't have anything else installed (except micro-sh*t edge that hardly works half the time)

\o/ B-small

@Sherlock9 brute forcing works for small

Yep

Well, I'm not done yet

5:15 PM

You know what?

It's after midnight, I'm tired, and it looks like C would take a while if I tried it

I'm going to bed. 33 points are enough this round. Goodnight all

working on B. I thought my attempt worked

but I failed the small attempt, and I know why :(

C has no useful test cases :/

Which is most correct?

Bob, Bill, and Peter's boat OR Bob's, Bill's, and Peter's boat OR Bob, Bill and Peter's boat OR Bob's, Bill's and Peter's boat

@Sherlock9 Please wait...

I like the first one

5:29 PM

@HelkaHomba I think the first is right.

I'm seeing 2 sets of identical test cases

oh, the oxford comma

testcases are my awfullest nightmares

well, I actually believe the second is right

@NathanMerrill but all those 's's are a pain

because otherwise, you're making a group of bob and bill and the boat

5:30 PM

1 h for the code, 1 day for running it thru all availablr entries

this is why language needs parenthesis

and brute force is a term to be obsolete and outdated next 10 years

Went to solve B-Large and I found 32 bits isn't quite enough.

@HelkaHomba They are coming.

@HelkaHomba This reminds me, have you listened to Welcome to Night Vale?

@AshwinGupta pretty much all browsers. Previously only Chrome and Firefix was supported

> Firefix

5:37 PM

It features a paranormal floating cat.

Chrime, Firefix, Sifiri, Ipera.

trichiplix

@mınxomaτ Intirnit Explirer.

Did you just announce my arrival or notice my arrival?

Andriid stick briwser.

5:42 PM

@trichoplax any way you want it

@HelkaHomba I'll go with the non-spooky way then :)

@trichoplax if that's the way you need it

@HelkaHomba .i fu'inai vlalepo

I don't speak logjam

@mınxomaτ this looks as a hand fan from behind and spaceship in the front

5:44 PM

You only speak Journey...

@Agawa001 I... wat

@trichoplax We should make a song titles chatroom

@zyabin101 So no one has more than 33 points, huh? Dang

@HelkaHomba Aidez-moi je ne peux que parler à les langues que vous tous ne comprenez pas

@HelkaHomba I'll do it.

5:47 PM

what about an esolang constructed by symphony notes ?

But you have to mention a song title in every message here.

@HelkaHomba Lol I definitely don't have the knowledge for that

@trichoplax Wouldn't it be nice?

I'm only happy when it rains

I'm probably done working on this round.

5:48 PM

@PhiNotPi I haven't heard that one

It's in a secret unreleased Prince album.

@PhiNotPi round and round?

@HelkaHomba but to answer your question it's [attitudinal not-easy] [spelling]

i.e spelling is very difficult

@quartata Tell me why

It was supposed to be a joke

5:51 PM

Why does it always rain on me?

@trichoplax Skyfall

In other news, I kinda want to get into video game programming (as a side project)

IDK what I want to do yet, though.

@PhiNotPi Tic Tac Toe?

Solo or focused on what aspect in a team?

@PhiNotPi Start with easier command line games.

5:53 PM

It's almost easy

@HelkaHomba Ikr.

I question the ethics of selling solved games to the unsuspecting public

@flawr take on me

@HelkaHomba

X|_|_
_|_|_
_|_|_

@flawr Take on me.

I guess in 5 mins?

5:55 PM

@zyabin101 I'll give you a game of 1D Tic Tac Toe

X|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_

@flawr don't let me be misunderstood

@trichoplax O at (0, 1).

X|O|_|_|_|_|_|_|_

I don't wanna p[l]ay

cheat!

@HelkaHomba =(

5:56 PM

@trichoplax =(

@zyabin101 Not you - Helka :)

@trichoplax Okay. Your turn =)

@zyabin101 X|O|_|_|X|_|_|_|_

Regarding tic tac toe. I was thinking about doing a kolmogorow complexity challenge on this: imgs.xkcd.com/comics/tic_tac_toe_large.png

user image

@trichoplax I should have known better

5:58 PM

@trichoplax O at (0, 3).

X|O|_|O|X|_|_|_|_

@HelkaHomba You must pay the piper

minimax

@zyabin101 X|O|X|O|X|_|_|_|_

(this is a very affectionate game)

@trichoplax (0,5)

X|O|X|O|X|O|_|_|_

@zyabin101 X|O|X|O|X|O|_|X|_

I think it's a draw...

6:00 PM

ae u playin who lose first ?

@Agawa001 No, just playing 1D

@trichoplax X|O|X|O|X|O|O|X|_

X|O|X|O|X|O|O|X|X

Draw <_>

Good game.

lets play coin flipping

@trichoplax You're gonna go far kid

6:02 PM

@Agawa001 Heads. flip

@HelkaHomba The world is not enough

chat golf challenge: play an optimal game of 1D tic-tac-toe

@PhiNotPi In code?

yes

@trichoplax it's the end of the world as we know it

6:03 PM

as in, write an AI for it, takes in a board and makes a move

(1) That shopping cart is full of AirHeads, and (2) I died at 41 from what the AirHeads company spokesperson called 'probably natural causes.'

@HelkaHomba 4'33"

@trichoplax The sound of silence

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

What's the best way to iterate over every element except for the first one in ruby?

Can I do that with each?

@zyabin101 HHHHH first who flips 3 consecutive wins, no flipping single coin two successive turns

6:05 PM

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ dream on

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Dream on

to Tail

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@HelkaHomba Dream until your dreams come true!

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ array[1..-1].each

by the way

do you want to know a secret?

6:06 PM

@HelkaHomba I don't. :3

@HelkaHomba Too many sandwiches

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@HelkaHomba Who are you asking?

@HelkaHomba Do you want to build a snowman?

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@quartata tyvm

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I wonder... even though we opted out of having new xkcd posted, we still get them anyhow...

6:08 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I haven't counted, but we seem to get more than we'd get from a feed that posts each new one

@trichoplax all I want is you

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@trichoplax That's true XD

@HelkaHomba You can't always get what you want

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ anyone else but you

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

/0\

6:09 PM

Poor Sam.i.am

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I Made Myself Sad

@trichoplax So what'cha want?

Who wants to live forever?

Eleanor Rigby

@HelkaHomba If I can't have you?

6:12 PM

I don't understand what's going on anymore

@trichoplax you've got to hide your love away

@quartata Every day is a winding road

Oh Beatles song allusions I see

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Beatles are the best

ntvirgwe e'b ' n'e'rgib

* my brother ran a martathon

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

6:13 PM

@HelkaHomba Come together

(keys shifted down one on the keyboard)

@quartata You oughta know

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ we're going to be friends

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@HelkaHomba while my guitar gently weeps

@HelkaHomba The times they are a changin

@trichoplax everything you know is wrong

6:17 PM

It's a sin

you're the devil in disguise

Is it wrong?

We interrupt this chat room for a musical interlude

@trichoplax nothing better

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

some good stuff

Next time I'm gonna flag it as spam.

6:20 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Things can only get better

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I hate everything about you

making an esolang based on musical notes doesnt it sound charmin idea ?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@HelkaHomba A day in the life

Martin Büttner

@Agawa001 like Fugue?

@Agawa001 then plug in this

6:21 PM

gosh , does it already exist ?

Martin Büttner

what doesn't :D

so i think i fell in hivemind with some1

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ these day are numbered

Martin Büttner

that doesn't mean you can't come up with a different/nicer music based esolang though

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@HelkaHomba yesterday

6:22 PM

Ok, I'll stop (in the name...)

Can't stop

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@HelkaHomba don't let me down

Goodbye

In the interest of sanity, let's only have golf related songs from now on

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

work it out

@trichoplax wait what

6:24 PM

who here is a llama

@trichoplax fixing a hole?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

It was at this point trichoplax realized his life had been one big pun.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ This point was long ago

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Prolix chat :)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

6:26 PM

@trichoplax are you sure that this suggestion is really the best course of action that is to be taken?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ No it's an apt anagram of my name

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

oh

I thought it was a suggestion :P

Ha ha

woo-hoo! My rank went from 1016-ish to 949 when time was up!

damn

@TheNumberOne congrats

6:31 PM

@TheNumberOne @TheNumberNineHundredFourtyNine Congrats!

congrats

@aditsu so close...

I do not know what kind of ranking youre talkking about put a lower rank is better, right?

@aditsu You took where I was at previously

there's still a (small) chance they will disqualify some contestants

Leaderboard will be released soon. No one cancelled it.

6:33 PM

@flawr yes, it is for the Google Code Jam, top 1000 of this round advance to round 2

looks like it will be really hard to get a t-shirt this year

user image

And what exactly is Google Code Jam?

@flawr the first word is the name of a web search engine, you can use it to find out the answer

I did not care for this round.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

6:35 PM

How does this look?

user image

@TheNumberOne k, spill it, how do you do B with out brute-forcing :P

Martin Büttner

I beat all of you to problem A... I was happy to leave it at that. :D

@Maltysen at each position you can try up to 3 digits for each number

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ "Have you read the man page?" "No it's in fake Latin"

@Maltysen B was a mess of code

6:36 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's readable and comfortable to look at - no problems here

@aditsu I thought of that, but wouldnt it be 3^18

if the digits are equal, solve recursively, else fill with 9's/0's

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@trichoplax thanks! :D

^^

@aditsu Dang it

Should have thought of that

6:38 PM

I should have thought of that sooner

I spent some time on C small before getting back to B large

Took me way too long just to get A haha

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ not enough contrast

I thought C-small was just that is your first word and second word are not unique in both lists, it passed the examples, failed small

Dang doubles

@Sherlock9 same, I spent longer on that than B-small

6:41 PM

Welp, it's done

I coded a more complex greedy solution, it was wrong

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

user image

How's that?

@aditsu for C?

Here's to better results on the 8th

yeah, I'll have to see where it fails

6:41 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I prefer dark text on light bg personally

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

oh, okay

I prefer the opposite

Got that backwards the first time

@aditsu now that its over, can we have the actual answers?

sure, you can download anybody's solutions

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Consider using GitBooks. It has variable text sizes and a night mode for people who like it.

6:44 PM

@aditsu I tried that, the code was all gibberish when I unzipped it, pretty werid

there will also be stats at go-hero.net/jam/16 sometime soon

Contest finished

Leaderboard soon.

@zyabin101 you're late

Thanks zyabin

@Maltysen which contestant/submission?

6:45 PM

@aditsu the #1

I want to assure you that you're quality, Q. :D

1 contestant from this round will advance to Round 2. Emails with official results will go out early next week.

@Maltysen looks fine here

@aditsu mind posting it here?

@Maltysen well, which submission do you want?

6:46 PM

C

thanks

@Maltysen small or large?

@QPaysTaxes A frowny face for a compliment? D:

Does anyone know how to solve C?

@aditsu small

nevermind content analysis already published

6:47 PM

@QPaysTaxes Like what?

@Maltysen dpaste.com/3HYQMRX

@aditsu ty

Can someone tell me why let f = (...a) => { return a; }; appears to be an ES6 syntax error?

damn, it was the matching algorithm??

I have code for that

hmm?

6:48 PM

I thought that's how ES6 rest args work.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@mınxomaτ what's tha?

@QPaysTaxes le gasp

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ gitbook.com

@cat No. Nonononono. None of us goes to the evil CR.

@QPaysTaxes no beans

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

6:49 PM

@mınxomaτ I'm writing a new interpreter

sufferin' succotash! drats and double-drats!

@QPaysTaxes I didn't say no, but you could try there :P Is it in a repo? Can haz?

@zyabin101 Did anyone qualify in 1A?

6:51 PM

@Sherlock9 jakube

@aditsu what do you mean by the matching algorithm?

Thanks

@Sherlock9 and sp3000

@QPaysTaxes :P

they dooo

@Maltysen google bipartite matching, also see the contest analysis

can't ping + onebox :C

@QPaysTaxes es6 is cooool

@QPaysTaxes pls

Oooh, Pyfon! My fave c:

Factor's like, my second fave, but I know Python really well cause I've known it since middle school

This language is very interesting

indeed

I'd rather use C over Java any day imo

Yeah, C is really terrible for like, anything, but I still prefer it over Java :P

6:58 PM

Java isn't that bad.

^^^^^^

@QPaysTaxes If I was susceptible to Stockholm Syndrome I'd still be using QBasic...

I'm not gonna talk about PHP, TI-Basic and Matlab XD
