Q: Stock Time Machine

MrDukStock Time Machine You've gained access to a dataset, tomorrowStocks, which contains the stock prices from your favorite business on the NASDAQ. This dataset is a container indexed by minutes past opening. Each index contains the price of the stock at that time. // Assume the stock market opens...

 
Syntax Error: Unexpected token at 3:1
3 | if (true) {
4 |     print a
  |  ^
TIL 3:1 is at 4:2
 
xD
the lno/colno is 0-indexed?
 
idk sometimes it works beautifully other times it fails miserably
 
Another great CGP Grey video:
 
7:19 PM
@TimmyD Really? I had no idea I had 9
 
@El'endiaStarman Yay! CGP Grey!
 
CGP Grey FTW
 
@TimmyD And no math needed :) Just coding skillz
 
I wonder what the most upvoted solution to a challenge is on PPCG
 
1069
A: Produce the number 2014 without any numbers in your source code

dansalmoPython (52 bytes) print sum(ord(c) for c in 'Happy new year to you!') Updated for 2015 thanks to @Frg: print sum(ord(c) for c in 'A Happy New Year to You!') Mouse over to see 2016 version:

 
7:20 PM
O_O
 
@TimmyD I will double the bounty soon :)
 
and the accepted answer have 37 upvotes irony
 
most upvoted challenge?
 
That question
 
@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I especially liked the part where he was like "Guessing what happens next will be nothing more than speculation, so speculation time!"
 
7:23 PM
^
@quartata darn
@El'endiaStarman this video has a different animation style... (though I did see that he was hiring a new animator...)
 
well mine is one of the most upvoted unanswered questions :)
must be worth something
@TimmyD actually what I sort of don't understand is that you could do well just implementing one of the solutions already coded up in C
or nim or julia or rust
or your favourite fast programming language
or cython or numba... :)
 
@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Probably Hello, World!
Ah, dang, I guessed wrong.
 
@TimmyD why is your profile pic windows powershell?
 
@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Have you seen my answers?
 
because of the holy powershell
 
7:30 PM
@TimmyD oh
 
I think I'm running about 99% PowerShell answers.
One in Python for a CnR, one in BATCH, one in VBScript. I don't think I've got others.

Q: Chessboard Walker

Fabio MazzoHello, i think in this challenge, because it must be difficult to solve with few code, because the walker path. What do you think? The objective is to draw a chessboard in art ascii with size through two arguments (height,width) and a start (x,y) and end (x,y) point for a subject walking on the...

 
one day this guy will learn about the sandbox
 
@NewMetaPosts Strike three...
 
;__; python gets .7 more upvotes than JS
@voters y u do dis
 
7:35 PM
@Downgoat Just proving the fact that Python > JavaScript.
 
but this is code golf so it's good javascript < python
 
@Downgoat forces a mod to lock python answers problem solved!
 
i cannot find any language which has an average score within ~.5 votes of jelly or higher
 
Helping my non-computer friend install a keyboard and it's so hard >_< "I feel like such a programmer with all these files open" oh heavens
 
7:37 PM
Mathematica has avergae 4.8 vote avergae and Jelly has 5.3 >_>
 
PS C:\Tools\Scripts\golfing> 'python'-gt'javascript'
True
 
^^^ oh god why?
 
^^ OMG
PS tell the truth
no real programmers use emacs
 
@Downgoat ಠ_ಠ
 
7:38 PM
nvm joke does not apply here, continue on
 
real programmers feel bigoted about what software they use >_>
 
o_o MATL has only 3.7 vote average
 
what does jolf have? T_T
 
O_O CJam has 5.7 vote average ._________.
 
my guess is 2.7
 
7:39 PM
@Downgoat Or PowerShell?
I'm pegging around 2.1, I think
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ 2.3333333333
 
@TùxCräftîñg If you're gonna post xkcd, post the comic link itself, not a hotlink to the image.
 
@TimmyD 2.5
 
7:40 PM
Ooo, higher than I thought.
 
@Downgoat: Minkolang vote average?
 
powershell > jolf T_T
 
@El'endiaStarman 2.4
TeaScript is at 2.7 :D
 
minkolang > jolf T_T
 
Not bad. And now I've got a goal to beat with Pytek.
 
7:41 PM
@Downgoat I know one that beats jelly. Emotinomicon!
I think
 
no results for Emotinomicon
 
maybe I spelled it wrong
 
Emotinomnomnomnom
 
Emotinomicon
that's how you spell it
 
:D :D :D Cheddar has average score of 11
but only 1 answer ;_;
 
Where are you getting these vote averages from, @Downgoat? :3
 
SQL query
 
@Downgoat I'm reasonably confident that my answer on Infinite Disk I/O is slightly pulling that average up
hashtag-humble-brag
 
O___O Jelly actually has 6.2 average
 
@Downgoat Which SQL query?
 
7:50 PM
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 ill share in a second once i fix it up
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ previous result was inaccurate Jolf is 2.3719008...
 
hooray, an extra 0.04 :P
 
@El'endiaStarman fixed query says 3.5833333333333....

Q: Connecting $N \times N$ dots with straight lines

Nathan MerrillMany of you have likely seen the Connect 9 dots with 4 lines puzzle. My problem is similar, but more generic. Given an $N\times N$ square of points, what is the minimum number of lines needed to connect all of the points? Lines must make a path (the endpoints of each of the lines must connect...

 
@Downgoat Oh sweet.
 
    n < 2 ? n : this(n - 1) + this(n - 2);
                    ^

TypeError: this is not a function
:D
 
8:01 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ._. wat
 
I made teh error say something ;D
that aside, is there a way to bind this in anonymous functions?
or replace all functions with another funcition in something
 
i have no idea what you mean .___.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ No, this is Patrick.
 
@Downgoat Given n < 2 ? n : fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);, replace all fib with (say) FIB (preferably without regex)
 
fib = FIB?
 
8:05 PM
well, I don't have the name, just the reference
 
oh, so you have like () => n < 1 ? n : self(n - 1) + self(n - 2)?
 
idk, only thing I can think of is arguments.callee
 
m'kay
I'll just give up on that side project then
 
do we have a "given a current directory and a directory path, output the final directory" challenge?
 
8:17 PM
I'm not following. Given "C:\Tools\Scripts\Golfing" and "cd ..\..\Foo" output "C:\Tools\Foo" ?
 
Should probably qualify those: "Given an absolute path A, and a relative path B [...]"
But it might be interesting if you allow B to be absolute also
 
yes
B can be either absolute or relative
and A is absolute
 
Okay, one of our testers typed something into Slack earlier and then never submitted the message. All day it says "SoAndSo is typing". It's bugging the heck out of me.
 
@Rainbolt I feel like slack detects for changes in text, but maybe not
 
8:27 PM
@Downgoat fib = FBI
 
He's been typing for HOURS then. Maybe he has a program doing it for him?
 
I thought of an amazing KoTH but making the controller will be a nightmare
 
Thats always the problem with KOTHs
 
I can't not make it though. Bye forever I'm going down the rabbit hole
 
Turkey is experiencing another military coup right now.
 
8:32 PM
@PhiNotPi How beefy is the KoTH server?
 
Huge developments. Army deployments all over Ankara and Istanbul; F-16s flying over the cities also. #Turkey https://t.co/DHjpGE8vgS
 
anyone familiar with SQL and please tell me why this is borked:
DECLARE @LANG varchar(100) = ##LanguageName:string##

SELECT PostTime,
AVG(Score) OVER (ORDER BY PostTime ROWS BETWEEN 10 PRECEDING AND 0 FOLLOWING) AS [Moving Average Score]
FROM (
  SELECT DATEDIFF(second, {d '1970-01-01'}, CreationDate) as [PostTime],
  Score
  FROM Posts
  WHERE PostTypeId = 2
  AND (
    Lower(Body) LIKE '%<h_>' + Lower(@LANG) + '%'
    OR Lower(Body) LIKE '%' + Lower(@LANG) + '</a>%</h_>%'
  )
) t
WHERE Score BETWEEN
(SELECT SUM(Score) / COUNT(*) - 25 FROM t) AND
(SELECT SUM(Score) / COUNT(*) + 25 FROM t)
this seems to fail:
WHERE Score BETWEEN
(SELECT SUM(Score) / COUNT(*) - 25 FROM t) AND
(SELECT SUM(Score) / COUNT(*) + 25 FROM t)
I am just trying to filter the damn subquery ;_;
pls
 
8:51 PM
@flawr Jeez
 
It was about time
 
From the very little I know about Turkey, the President has seemed more like a dictator than a president. I just hate to see violence and bloodshed.
 
I hope this goes about without physical violence.
 
hi
@downvoters y u do dis ;_; y u downgaoted my challenge
 
9:07 PM
@Downgoat The actual dates would be nice, instead of the timestamp.
 
@flawr I would but apparently SQL can't sort by dates
huh nvm
 
when a feedbot say a thing it's automatically in the starboard ಠ_ಠ
wait, how the brainfuck i type ɠ on a QWERTY intl ಠ_ಠ

Q: Directory calculation

Nathan MerrillFor this challenge, you will be given an absolute path, and a "new" path (which can be absolute or relative), and you need to return the final path. For example, if your current directory was /var/tmp/test: my_dir or my_dir/ should return /var/tmp/test/my_dir ../../my_dir should return /var/m...

 
Actually strike that. The controller will be pretty easy. Actually writing up the challenge will be excruciating
 
@TùxCräftîñg do you have a CLI for your-mom yet?
 
ok
$ your-mom
-bash: your-mom: command not found
@TùxCräftîñg halp

Your mom is borked
 
anyone who wants to play hearthstone together, I'm testing out my TwitchPlaysHearthstone bot: twitch.tv/gamrcorps
 
uhhh this is awkward. I lost my cmd emulator >_>
 
@TùxCräftîñg you didn't set bin
 
that certainly is awkward
 
9:39 PM
yeah >_>
fixing it
 
Will make PR to your mom in a sec
 
it sounds like you're trying to deliver a baby
 
\o/
 
\o/
your-mom is fixed
 
9:41 PM
No need to fork your mom anymore
 
i have done this commit 20mn before the end of this day, i keep my commit combo \o/
i have done npm update -g and now it's taking hours ಠ_ಠ
 
I don't remember what my emulator is even called ._.
OH CMDER
 
@TùxCräftîñg y u no just update your mom
 
C:\Users\Elie>npm install -g your-mom

@TùxCräftîñg every programmer ever
Try with sudo?
 
9:46 PM
i am on windows >_>
i cant find a npm command to just download the package
 
npm install?
 
this try to install, and crash because i have borked the package.json
 
.________.
 
and so the package is removed from node_modules .________________.
 
you should've done npm init
 
9:49 PM
i have done npm-init
there is a problem with the building visibly
 
@Downgoat is there a lib folder in your installation of your-mom ?
 
@TùxCräftîñg idk
 
because i think it's because of the gitignore so the lib folder is not uploaded to npm >_>
and everything bork
 
;_; @TùxCräftîñg y u bork everyting
 
9:52 PM
;_;
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ can you please tell that dude "directories ≠ programmer" and show him the terminal and show him some real code. Please.
