@Dennis I wouldn't say it's a bad joke so much as it is that we're so desensitized to memes here at this point that we can't tell if it's a joke when used subtly
@LeakyNun Just had an interesting linguistics discussion with my friend, who's Thai. You might find it interesting to read about their writing system if you haven't already :)
@Doorknob speaking of which, have you seen the cherokee language? it's alphabet has all the weird symbols - no offense, just like looks weird-cool-awesome-didn'tknowtheywereusedinalanguage
@LeakyNun Currently patching the documentation. Assuming that my previous approach is still optimal, I'll probably just edit it. Saves three bytes so far, which is 12.5%.
aka, you write a program A that takes two files, compares them, and provides a diff. Then program B takes the first file and the diff and has to produce the second file
the goal of the challenge is to make the diffs as small as possible
This is the best way to compare two numbers.Why because, if you are intelligent enough, you can use the same code in bigger programs.It's highly portable.
Assume we have two numbers a,b.
we have two blocks : if( a>=b ) and else,
Hope its enough.
0 1 0 a b 0
Make the array like this. And ...
@LeakyNun Uh, there seems to be a problem somewhere. fwd 1, add 1, fwd 1, add 1, fwd 1, add 1, fwd 1 is three bytes with the old scheme, but six bytes with the new one.
Not really sure how to extract those. The problem seems to be that it encoded an argument of 1 with one triad, which means that the ternary version doesn't have the offset of 1 the binary encoding uses.

I have no clue. I went over your code, found nothing wrong and tried again. It worked. Must've assembled the wrong file or used the wrong version of the interpreter. I don't know.
Yes, "Je suis de retour" is a correct translation. You could also use "Me revoilà" which is, I think, a bit less formal. In a very casual context (with friends or on an online chat for example), you can also simply use "Re" which is a slang for "Retour", or "Re-bonjour". I don't know the exact or...
HTML+CSS is a programming language and I'm certain that there could be answers in it that would be truly astonishing. Print this fixed sequence of characters probably isn't one though.
It's most probably impossible. Brainfuck isn't magic. The current record for shortest code to print the 13-char string "Hello, World!" is an entire 78 bytes.:
--<-<<+[+[<+>--->->->-<<<]>]<<--.<++++++.<<-..<<.<+.>>.>>.<<<.+++.>>.>>-.<<<+.
I suggest you read the post, but a TL;DR for you is that...
@RohanJhunjhunwala It's Sesos (meaning brains in Spanish), and it's an efficient encoding of brainfuck with a few extra capabilities (you can choose between 8-bit or arbitrarily large cells, numeric and byte/char input, and numeric and byte/char output). For code golf, it's an entirely different language, since the shortest brainfuck program won't translate to the shortest Sesos program and vice versa.
Really just two: nop is a do-while loop, which can be emulated effortlessly with brainfuck's [ and ]. jne is a true addition though, since 8-bit brainfuck cannot distinguish between a null byte and EOF.
U+0004 is the EOT character, which is sent, e.g., in video text terminals to emulate EOF, but that's not what brainfuck implementations (and least the ones I have seen) use.
Real EOF is just the end of a file, not a character.
While I may not be able to print your string in a very small amount of bytes. I may be able to print it in a lot of bytes! Here it is in all of its bowled glory!
>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>+>
Theoretically brute forcing a BF program would be possible (just enumerate all valid ones) the issue being that you would need more time and power than in the known universe for anything longer than a couple characters
They don't. There are also no rules for the X different dialects in Germany. There's the German you learn in school and the German you speak. Big difference.
I may not be an authority on Spain, but trust me that there are no official rules of Germany's dialects. Living there for 17 years must have taught me something...
@LeakyNun As far as pronunciation goes, I lived in a region that speaks Hochdeutsch, which is the standard variant. There were some horrible misuses of a few pronouns though, which disappeared if you drove 30 km in any direction. About 20 km west, people told the time different than we did (we were "right" about that one though).
The occupation after World War II didn't help. Some regions started incorporating words the foreign soldiers used in their vocabulary. It's all a mess.
Mini-challenge: What the smallest grid of decimal digits by area that has all numbers 00, 01, 02, ..., 98, 99 in it horizontally or vertically, forwards or backwards (diagonals not counted).
e.g.
247
460
has area 6 with the 10 numbers 24 42 46 47 74 70 64 60 06 07
@Dennis It does feel good to attribute your dialect as hoch, right? Is that why earlier you rejected the rule of seseo? After all these years of learning about linguistics, I've come to the conclusion that there is no hoch languages or platt languages. Every dialect has their own rules.
@LeakyNun I don't really care either way. Pronunciation may be different, but we still did a lot of it wrong. And don't get me started on the weird mixture of Spanish and Guaraní that is spoken here...
Call it whatever you like. If you try to learn a language from a dictionary, textbook or tutorial, you'll still learn the one true way™, not what people speak in the wild.
