kk, I need a good challenge idea
then I can break it
oh right, I had good idea

why do I keep doing this to myself
 
@DJMcMayhem hehe Jelly 4 bytes L‘ÆN
 
> outputs (nth prime) number of x's
If it was that easy, it would also be 4 in MATL: nqYq
 
@DJMcMayhem oops try again, 4 bytes, L’ÆN
 
-_- That's exactly the same
 
4:10 AM
nope decrement rather than increment
 
But it still outputs the number in decimal
It should output 29 'x's
 
ohhh
:)
boo 7 bytes :p

@ColdGolf in alphabetical order too, impressive
 
@JonathanAllan Crazy impressive.
 
4:21 AM
Woo-hoo! I am now officially the fifth highest code-golf challenge poster!
 
@DJMcMayhem Congrats!
By my rough count, you're like the 10th.
 
No, that's for answering in the last 30 days. I mean for asking of all time
 
I see.
What am I?
I'm waaaay down.
 
There's a sede query somewhere...
 
?
 
4:26 AM
@DJMcMayhem That's sorted by votes, so not only did you post a lot of questions, you posted a lot of good questions. Congrats!
 
@ColdGolf Stack Exchange Data Explorer. It's a little utility that let's you call SQL queries on the stack exchange database
@Dennis Thanks!
 
@Dennis You posted a lot of good answers.
 
@ColdGolf Here it is
I'm a little bit further down when you consider non code-golf challenges
 
I'm just happy to be in the top 30 on that tag :D
 
4:33 AM
@DJMcMayhem I'm not there. :(
 
is there any significance to those remainder trees from the tarzan question?
 
@ColdGolf That only shows the top 50
I'm so bad at SQL, I don't think I know how to.
 
Hello from Mom's phone from Togliatti!
 
@ColdGolf Why do you keep deleting your chat messages?
 
4:38 AM
@DJMcMayhem SELECT * StackExchange;

@ColdGolf SEDE is designed so that anyone can use it. Feel free to try this query out yourself
 
@DJMcMayhem Okay.

@DJMcMayhem ... He is the watermelon
 
5:44 AM
Is it that one must submit full programs in anarchy golf?
 
Yes
 
We should point them to our things to avoid when writing challenges. :P
 
@Dennis You haven't submitted any solution to this challenge :o
 
I'm currently very busy with TIO. Not counting A without A and the CnR, I've barely posted any answers in the last days.
 
I see
 
6:01 AM
@LeakyNun but he shaved 4 bytes off my Jelly post (and 1 off my python) to pip pyth :)
 
6:18 AM
wtf the __doc__ for subprocess.PIPE is the one for int
wow python wow
and subprocess.Popen has no documentation ಠ_ಠ
(none accessible by .__doc__ anyway)
 
7:20 AM
I wrote an Actually answer that is too long ;_; codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/90488/47581
Oh hey, I saved the chat from the 1 hour later message
 
saviour!
I think that all golf suggestions on actually should be of this format: actually <x> bytes: <code>
 
7:36 AM
I had idea for 2d language that is a bit different to existing 2d languages
except I'm beginning to think it isn't ;_;
 
@DestructibleWatermelon I've been toying around with a "lower level geometry" language, designed just for fun... inspired by billiard ball physics, and theoretical physics way way above my head
 
@HWalters cool
No, this language I'm looking at isn't exactly like my idea
I've been finding that when I have an idea, I'll just find someone who already had the idea
 
Roughly, you construct a "program" by stitching together nodes with arrows... directed graph... and just defining which arrows are set.
 
I'm hoping to get it at some point to where you can stitch an arbitrary topology together... I don't think I'll ever even use it
 
7:42 AM
it's mostly like my idea ;_;
y u do dis brain ;_;
 
(e.g., you might constuct a 3-d physics, node by node)
 
why this happen...:[
well, my idea is different enough, I guess
but pretty similar too
 
Would you kindly explain your idea?
 
But for now, this ref this old thread
 
Rather than vaguely reference it multiple times :D
 
7:48 AM
well, who here has played portal 2?
portal two has these things
My language would use these creatures; they walk forward, have a specific direction, unchanging in excursion funnels, can be scared, and unscared for our purposes.
 
Really need to find a better image hoster first
Dunno... maybe this one's okay... so I guess my excuse is I need to get some sleep first
 
@HWalters imgur, or gyazo/lightshot for screenshots?
Or just upload directly to chat
 
Well I want to necro the game-of-life pop contest to put some decent images on it, not just chat
 
@HWalters For uploading to an answer post, just use SE's upload feature which will use imgur automatically
 
trichoplax sounds good... if it's there I'll find it tomorrow. Thanks
 
7:58 AM
@HWalters Bear in mind that the output image needs to be the same dimensions as the input image:
@Tally it's "popularity contest", so I'll leave that up to the voters. But note that the way it's written at the moment, the output image does have to have the same dimensions as the input image, so if you use a small input image you'll have to give a small output as well. Of course there's nothing stopping you taking a large input image and then scaling out down inside your program if you want to work with bigger pixels. — Nathaniel Oct 8 '14 at 1:20
 
ok, so, in my language, there would be 4 main objects: aerial faith plates (AFP), excursion tunnels (ET), and franken cubes (FC), supercolliding super buttons (SSD)
AFP have two settings: they can either change a franken cubes direction, or leave i how it is. Either way, they will be flinging the cube that walks on it
 
Huzzah! Made a bot for my Hanoi Battle idea here!
 
ssb*
ET leave the direction of a FC unchaged, but move the FC while it is in ET. ET extend until a wall of some sort (haven't figured out walls yet), so the ways that a FC can leave is by a SSB being activated, or by another ET, or by an AFP
FC can be spawned by SSB, or can start spawned.
 
8:16 AM
Is anyone on that can help with my code thing?
 
@DerpfacePython Depends, maybe
 
It's the controller for my Hanoi battles thing (which I've posted on the Sandbox).
 
@DestructibleWatermelon So it's Portal: The Programming Language
Neat :D
 
Whoa wait what?
Portal the programming language?

Q: Necessity of Wrapping Solution into Method/Function

AquaGeneralI've noticed that sometimes people using exotic languages like Brainfuck don't ever explicitly wrap a solution into a method/function. While sometimes I see solutions in Java and such where they are wrapping their solution into a function. Is it actually necessary (if the question didn't specif...

8:22 AM
@NewMetaPosts That's really really really slow
 
@Sherlock9 Well, more like lovable franken cubes the programming language
Because franken cubes are so nice, there will be no way to murder them
they only teleport when the button to spawn them is pressed again
definitely
unless there is a special dropper that does as many franken cubes as necessary
ok, just thought of four more elements: party teleporter: teleports franken cube to have cake and party when a cube steps into it, and wall, which blocks ET, and movable wall, which can be wall or blank, based on button, and noise synthesiser, which makes an angry cat noise to scare franken cubes
 
@Mego Yeah, for some reason it tends to do that
 
I think there should also be a localised scare zone, which makes any franken cubes that enter it scared (as opposed to button operated)
 
8:53 AM
so very quiet
the chatroom is in slience
please make some chatter

I left something in the sandbox. I feel dirty...
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei naming a parsing function print is a bad idea
 
@HelkaHomba lol C can't this time C needs {}();
 
9:05 AM
It can DNP those
 
o nice
@TùxCräftîñg only thing it parses is if the input has ! or not

@NewSandboxedPosts lol
 
@NewSandboxedPosts ninja'd
 
Can anyone tell me what this is?
resArray[::2, ::2, 2]
I've seen slicing ::2 but I've never seen such thing
 
9:16 AM
>>> l[::2, ::2, 2]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not tuple
 
@NewSandboxedPosts As fun as that is, it's going to get annoying when two people want to post the same language
 
this is invalid
 
@TùxCräftîñg it is valid, try a different format of l
 
@LeakyNun numpy?
 
9:16 AM
@Sp3000 oh, right
I don't get it, importing can change syntax?
 
indexing can take tuple as input
 
then why did it fail?
 
>>> class A:
...  def __getitem__(self, i):
...   print(i)
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a[1, 2, 3]
(1, 2, 3)
 
It's more like Python always allows this syntax, but some syntax elements are only used by third party libraries
... Ellipsis is a good example
 
then what is the tuple ::2,::2,2?
 
9:18 AM
@LeakyNun because builtin list dont support tuples in indexing
 
Like, I thought ::2 isn't a thing
just a sugar or whatnot
 
Are printables 20-115?
 
::2 is a slice object
 
Anonymous
a:b:c constructs a special type of object called a slice object. Those are only recognized in standard Python by certain iterables' __getitem__ methods. Numpy does crazy stuff with __getitem__.
 
9:19 AM
wat the heil
 
python
 
Anonymous
::2,::2,2 is equivalent to tuple(slice(None, None, 2), slice(None, None, 2), 2)

python is black magic

It's all just overloading __getitem__ to make it do what you want
 
question: what -pedantic do in GCC?
 
@HelkaHomba if i use a flag 2 times do i count it twıce or önce?
 
Anonymous
a:b:c is just a fancy way of writing slice(a, b, c) (that's only syntactically valid inside of an iterable access call (iterable[foo]))
 
9:22 AM
> önce
 
> autocorrect
 
and twıce
 
Anonymous
>>> class DummyGetter:
...   def __getitem__(self, key):
...     return key
...
>>> DummyGetter()['foo']
'foo'
>>> DummyGetter()[1]
1
>>> DummyGetter()[1:2:3]
slice(1, 2, 3)
>>> DummyGetter()[::2, ::2, 2]
(slice(None, None, 2), slice(None, None, 2), 2)
 
@TùxCräftîñg autocorrect r u srs why
@TùxCräftîñg from manpages:
> Issue all the warnings demanded by strict ANSI C and ISO C++; reject all programs that use forbidden extensions.
Valid ANSI C and ISO C++ programs should compile properly with or without this option (though a rare few will require `-ansi'). However, without this option, certain GNU extensions and traditional C and C++ features are supported as well. With this option, they are rejected.

Any hashable object can be used as an iterable key
 
@Mego can u hash slices?
>>> hash(slice(1,2,3))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'slice'
>>>
 
any instance can be hashed IIRC
wat
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Count it once per program that uses it, as if they are all independent
 
Anonymous
@LeakyNun Slices aren't hashable, but they're also (usually) handled differently. Instead of looking up a single value with a single hashable key, you're looking up a range of values with a range of hashable keys.
 
;_; why python doesn't have golfy 2d array concatenation
 
9:30 AM
halp how do i move all the files starting with a number
 
because python
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei does asterisk* work?
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei grep magic?
 
@LeakyNun to all 10 digits? :/ ok
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei or use regex to generate bashscript lol
did i just say bashscript

@LeakyNun [x+y for x,y in zip(a,b)]?
 
@Mego that's the opposite of golfy
 
Anonymous
Or map([].add,zip(a,b))
 
@Mego I thought map in Python 3 generates a generator
 
Anonymous
@LeakyNun It does, but if you're talking about golfing, I'm assuming you're using 2
 
9:34 AM
alright
 
Anonymous
Besides that method doesn't work (even if you use [].__add__ like I meant)
 
9:45 AM
Weird, I'm trying to post an answer on a challenge, but it ens up as a comment to the OP all the time. Anyone know why?
 
Too short?
 
ah
there was another post with the same header
wait no
it worked when I changed the header to the same as another post
 
@Emigna what were you trying to post to where?
 
even weirder

A: Can you outgolf me? (Robbers section)

EmignaExcel, 16 12 bytes, Anastasiya-Romanova 秀 =FACT(n)*2^n

it didn't work when I didn't have "bytes" in the header
 
9:48 AM
@Emigna probably because it's too short alright
 
Maybe. It usually complains when it's too short though
 
Sometimes it just redirects to comment
 
RAAH
I need to golf off one byte
to be #1 on anarchy golf
right now I share #1
main(x){for(x<<=16;x--;)x&x/2&21845||putchar((x^x>>8)&85?32:88)&&x&255||puts("");}
 
For heaven's sake, xnor's answer is 77 bytes, and I'm still struggling in 95 bytes
@orlp wtf is that precedence, how is >> higher than ^
 
@LeakyNun I dno
do you understand my answer?
 
9:58 AM
of course not
 
haha
hint: base3 in base4
Fractal Plus is very similar
