really? the intermediate steps?
@Downgoat oh, right, I forgot to comment on that
there we go
 
Oh I get what you mean, like a v-gif maker?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Helka said the same. But once they are bounties it will say" They are N bounties worth ___ rep. And you'll click on it and it'll go to the bounty page on main
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan sorta, yeah
 
Like this:
 
12:02 AM
I thought you meant like a description of each key
 
Holy shit, how did I not know we had community ads?
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan :P I said the same thing about grauation
 
Vi.
@Downgoat, If try (about H.264), should it be based on the standard or on a set of samples?
 
Feb 24 at 1:21, by Downgoat
OH SHIT WE'RE GRADUATING????
 
12:05 AM
fac = (lambda r:r(r)))(lambda r:(lambda n:n*r(n-1) if n else 1))

print(fac(4))
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan like this (press step a few times)
 
why does this not work?
 
Yeah, or like reng?
If that's what it's called
 
yes, precisely! I didn't think you'd remember :3
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan we only just got them 7 hours ago
 
12:06 AM
@Downgoat also, I think your images are the wrong size
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ they're just HiDPI
 
(removed)
 
@dorukayhan ಠ_ಠ
 
@Downgoat oopsies
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that actually might be pretty easy (not online interactive, but a gif-maker) since it already has the option to show the text in an external vim-window.
 
12:08 AM
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan oh, cool! can't wait then
 
The one part that might not work very well is some parts run automated by vim. (Like recursion)
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan question: how did you even make V, wouldn't it have to like open a new shell open nvim and simulate each keypress?
 
Idk how to make vim pause between keystrokes
 
@Downgoat Neovim has a Python API iirc
 
ask on SO for a free (5 * 1/3 * <people in here>)+ rep
 
12:10 AM
@Downgoat with the magic of python. There's a python library that allows you to embed vim
Neovim that is.
 
oh ._.
im a lot less impressed now :P
you should of just said majik
 
It also works the way you said tho. External shell + keystrokes over a socket.
 
ohwowok
 
If you run it with V source -d it'll do that.
 
does V have an installer?
 
12:13 AM
Not yet. -_-
v_v
 
V.py_V.py
 
It also doesn't work on Mac.
 
yeah... ;_;
 
Since I can't test it
 
i can test it for you :3
just pls no sudo find / -delete
 
12:15 AM
Haha. I should write some tests specifically for you
Or get a mac.
 
assert(typeof goat === 'down')
 
Actually, I gave you some instructions how to (sort of) fix it.
You never did it.
 
;-; sowee
 
Actually, if you run V with the -d flag, that'll probably half fix it.
If you move your mouse over neovim.
 
12:18 AM
Tried ahat u suhgestied didnt work
* tried what u suggested, didn't work :(
 
Which suggestion?
 
Chat mini challenge: implement cyclic tag. Popularity contest. (Feel free to submit a PR to this. I'm collecting.)
 
The empty file or the commenting?
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ VTC as popcon
 
Counter VTC as mini challenge.
 
12:22 AM
Shouldn't that be counter VTO?
 
A counter VTC is a VTO
 
Dammit. I can't argue with that logic.
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I could probably use this for V-gifs
 
Use xscast instead
I seriously don't understand why mkcast has 3k stars but the objectively better has 85 stars
 
Ik, I did see that.
 
The power of Reddit I suppose
 
12:29 AM
Man, I wish my github project exploded on reddit.
Is it too late for a cup of coffee?

Q: Print a Lego Piece

MaltysenThis challenge is a simple ascii-art one. Given two inputs, describing the height and width of a Lego piece, you have print an ascii-art representation of it. Here is how the Lego pieces are supposed to look: (4, 2) ___________ | o o o o | | o o o o | ----------- (8, 2) ___________________ |...

1:34 AM
That moment when you overhaul your solution and whittle it down in order to save...one byte. -_-
 
I hate it when I write a really long explanation then golf it down further.
Oh hey, I can take 3 bytes off!
 
y'all should be happy. look at reng :P
poor reng XD
 
I wonder if my answer is actually competitive or if no serious golfers in serious golfing languages have answered yet...
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Minkolang answers are generally around 1.5-2 times the size of Pyth/CJam answers.
 
Jolf is 30, incoming
wait nvm special case
 
1:48 AM
If it weren't for the special case, V would be 25.
 
Minkolang wouldn't benefit quite so much. Taking out the special case would bring it from 57 to 45. Well, that's still pretty nice.

2:14 AM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Took 2 more off. We're tied now.
 
Meanwhile, I took off yet another single byte and I'm currently rewriting the explanation... -___-
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan nice :3
 
I'm determined to get a couple more off.
 
I'm not. :P
It took me an hour to golf off two bytes, one at a time, and with a partial explanation rewrite in between. :P
 
meanwhile i can't think of a way to get below 312 bytes
 
2:21 AM
Well, tbf you're using java.
:P
 
looking for a 4-byte way (including inputs) to have only 1, 1 be truthy/falsey
 
Haha, I'm looking for a 8 or less byte regex that only matches:
_____
| o |
-----
Currently I've got this:
_\n.\{6}\n-
Sadly it's easier to not match that.
 
jelly/cinnamon gun is going to swoop in around 30 bytes while we're both still golfing :P
 
lol
Wait, what's cinnamon gun?
 
quartata's ultimate string printer
it did the print all ipv4 addresses in an insanely short way
 
2:33 AM
Grr, just made it 5 bytes longer
 
I need to take a break.
Cya in a few hourse.
 
I'm looking through the hundreds of jolf builtins -.-
 
Wait, didn't you write Jolf?
 
2:35 AM
Don't you know all the builtins?
 
Cause you wrote it?
 
AHA! FOUND ONE
 
2:36 AM
noooo!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'BʀɪᴇɴJolf, 38 37 bytes Try it here! ?!ΖjJΆ+*'_γ+3ώjS*JΆ'|*j" o' | "*'-γ'o Simple stuff, really. Saved a byte by noting that !Ζ (math zeta, or the stand deviance) is only 0 when both arguments are 1, and is falsey otherwise (for our case).

is standard deviance :3
though Jolf is unfortunately the more verbose of the golfing languages :(
 
Rats. Cinnamon Gum does not have a way to take more than onne input currently. A shame because it does have something for this
 
Damn you! Now I have to take 2 bytes off!
:P
 
@quartata how about a list?
11 mins ago, by Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
jelly/cinnamon gun is going to swoop in around 30 bytes while we're both still golfing :P
 
@quartata what would the byte count be if it did?
 
2:43 AM
I want to say 20?
Something like that. It's not terribly complex.
Ooh didn't see the special case. I should add a way for a lookup table to return a code snippet
 
Yeah, it's the special case that screws me up too
 
It would only add 4 bytes if I implement something real quick
 
I think the special case is problematic for everyone. :P
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ why can't you use jolf's box drawing built in?
 
@quartata OH YEAH I was going to then I forgot
brb
@quartata 39 bytes ._. using builtin
 
2:55 AM
Well that's a bummer. :P
 
oooooorrrr 36 bytes! :D
 
Decompressed the CG codez would be something like l[1,1]&o;?&`p_~_~\n%|~ o~|\n%-~-~
Should see what that compresses to after I implement this
 
jolf seems to do really well on these string type challenges
 
(\n would be literal newline)
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you really should get around to making ,a better
 
yes I really should
idk how
 
3:05 AM
start by making it take a list and support multi char padding
 
a list of what?
 
Right now it takes the options a string remember
 
yeah
how would a list help
 
then you could have say "ab"as filler instead of a single char
 
oh, I see
but specifying a list would take longer in the long run
I guess I could make ,A do that
 
3:08 AM
Remember all the stuff I had to do for print n squared? The answer to that literally should have been ,a
 
true
same here, too
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you could overload it
 
I could... but I'm not exactly hurting for misc spots. I could have ,A take it as arguments, so the list would be implicit
should width still be the outer width, or should I change it to inner width?
 
Both are useful.
hmm
 
this challenge would benefit for inner width

@thepiercingarrow monring
 
grrrr
If I have language b that is hard to write (e.g. a certain assembly), and I write a higher-level language a that is easier to write (e.g. C), then how do I describe C?
I want to say that language a is _____ with language b, or something like that.
@Downgoat I like your ad btw, very well made good job!
 
@thepiercingarrow I don't userstand. What's the releation between lang b and lang C
@thepiercingarrow thanks :) though I didn't make the sandbox myself, I found it on google images and just traced it :P
 
@Downgoat Lang C was written with the intention of transpiling into Lang A.
@Downgoat Wow really neat job. Its a shame they only accept GIFs and PNGs. Cause everyone loves SVGs.
 
@thepiercingarrow When it comes to Assembly and C, C is normally described as "a higher-level language".
 
3:55 AM
^ I'd say that too
 
Lol, I thought of that... but I'm not too familiar with the term.
Is Java higher-level than C ? Is Haskell higher-level than Rust?
 
@thepiercingarrow I'm guessing it's because SVG aren't as well supported as PNGs, but yeah, I'd love to see SVG ads with all their awesomeness.
Hello @DrGreenEggsandIronMan (can you pls golf ur username)
 
jaja
Call @DGEAIM
thats your new name
 
I liked @DJMcGoathem, that was best username
 
3:59 AM
@thepiercingarrow DrGreenEggsandIronMan's old usrename used to be DJMcGoathem
 
@thepiercingarrow Java is higher-level than C because it is written in C (and so are Python, Rust, and Haskell). It's worth noting that all these languages except C have automatic memory management, which is a good indicator that it's a higher-level language.
 
@Downgoat my name is bowling.

Is anyone here familiar with Homebrew recipes?
 
@Downgoat Yup I've made several
 
TIL that there will be a .zip TLD. Doesn't it sound like a bad idea to have TLDs that are also file extensions?
 
I wouldn't say I'm good at them - I'm just familiar
@PhiNotPi A very bad idea.
 
4:18 AM
nic.zip <- it's going to be run by Google
 
Oh hey. I just got my 8th (network) gold badge. =D
 
@thepiercingarrow :D I'm trying to create one for Cheddar but I have no idea how to >_>
 
@Downgoat Have anything so far? Or just getting started?
 
@PhiNotPi I like how they make it sound really meaningful and inspirational about domains but then they just go ahead and make .MEME
@thepiercingarrow trying to get started >_> don't know much ruby. I started learning only a month ago
All it needs to do is git clone + make + make install
 
Lol I don't know ruby either. I just read the documentation and copy-paste XD
 
4:21 AM
@thepiercingarrow do you know if the "URL" or the source has to be a tarball or can I clone a remote git repo?
 
@Downgoat Not sure
I've never seen someone using git clone...
 
Does bash have significant whitespace?
Like python does?

Wow you are too good at this
Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man you are super smart - can I ask you a question?
 
Obligatory "You just did"
Sure.
 
@thepiercingarrow >_> yeah, I left for a bit
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan no
 
@Downgoat Have you read that doc yet?
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I currently have my brainfreeze goto statement line replaced by the entire program from the label to the end of the program. Feels horribly inefficient, do you know a better way?
For example, if I have:
iA=5;l5;g5;
replace with:
 
@thepiercingarrow just stared
 
@Downgoat Lol. What is Cheddar?
iA=5;l5;l5;g5;
 
5:05 AM
@thepiercingarrow I'm sorry, I've never even heard of brainfreeze.
 
@thepiercingarrow it's a new popular language. All the cool goats are using it
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Lol I haven't released it yet. But basically Its a simple language that can be transpiled into a short BF, that when manually golfed further, will hopefully be pretty good at golfing.
 
Maybe I should avoid gotos
they are not byte-efficient
Maybe stick to loops (for backward goto) and If statements (For forward goto)
@Downgoat Should I teach it to my pet goat? XD
 
YOU HAVE A PET GOAT :D
THAT IS AWESOME
tell him I said hi
 
5:07 AM
I actually just wrote a brainfuck-esque language.
 
NOooooo cry
waahh wawawah
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan What the flak is brain flak?
NOO DOWNGOAT WAWA
Your Cheddar thing looked amazing
 
The language is a mix between brain-fuck and flak-overstow. (Since it's stack based)
 
I loved all your repos
I loved your website
noes noes noes no jquery
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan cool any docs?
 
Some brave soul wrote a 1196 byte Brain-flak program.
 
@thepiercingarrow ?
 
@Downgoat Although your website is pretty. Just remove jquery and I'll love it.
