Only if the "active" tab si in view or clicked I presume.
 
@Dennis Could you please pull Brachylog?
 
I'm having trouble with typological: programs are WAY too long. I mean, longer than I'd want them to be
gonna need to do something about that
hmmm, I'm considering removing integer i/o
 
7:16 AM
How come?
 
shortening stuff
but that wouldn't help actually
I would just put them at the end of the command table

Q: CodeGolf a program

SteeveDrozI know the title looks like a topic posted by a noob but it's not what it seems. The goal of the challenge is to create a program in any language you want that codegolfs a c program. Your code takes any c program as input and output the very same program with every useless characters removed. ...

 
Typological is going to have no conditionals, the closest thing will be the greater than command
which just pushes one or zero
hi @Linus
 
@DestructibleWatermelon hello
 
Which phrase best describes most of your passwords? - strawpoll.me/11114046

> short but not predictable ("g0phER$")
Er... counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
 
I know 7 is not short to code golfers, but..
 
@Sp3000 not the train
 
Well I was thinking more the fact that it's somewhat within brute forceable range :P
 
@Sp3000 updated
 
7:34 AM
Ah, nice
 
@Sp3000 thanks

WarGamer is a bastard
 
@TùxCräftîñg I wouldn't bet on that
 
it have more entropy than l01wùt$&
 
7:47 AM
 
"correcthorsebatterystaple" itself would be predictable - anything using the same scheme? Well that depends...

@Sp3000 I just noticed you're looking more Italian recently
 
@HelkaHomba fixed
 
7:51 AM
(hopefully someone understands what I just said...)
 
@HelkaHomba oic
 
@TùxCräftîñg what?
 
my stupid 'i buy everything :D' bot is first
 
@HelkaHomba Nope, I'm inclined to say I cant tell what angle you're taking with that bold statement
 
@Sp3000 Look a little to the left of your icon
 
8:00 AM
Why are password hashes that can be cracked by brute force considered a big deal?
Assuming you don't recycle the same passwords.
Is it somehow much easier to steal the list of password hashes than the other data at a site?
 
@TùxCräftîñg really?
 
I think you must be reading the scoring wrong
 
it have the most score
 
either that or the controller is wrong
 
8:03 AM
You're supposed to golf your dollars.
 
the other bots are not really clever, so...
 
I think they must have written the scoring code wrong...
seriously though, when a dumbot is winning, that's usually not a good sign
 
@feersum No... the hash is what's stored, not the password. The hash can be stolen. If it can be cracked, then the password can be stolen... so to speak.
 
WarGamer is a suicidal entry, DumbBot is really stupid, python_starter idk and ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney buy everything
 
@Linus Yes I know all that; it doesn't answer my question.
Unless we're considering a case where a company gets hacked but never bothers to issue password resets or even notify the users.
 
8:11 AM
I think it's more the case where a company gets hacked but doesn't find out about it/finds out 3 years later, and in the meanwhile hashes are being traded around
 
If they never find out that they are compromised, what's to stop the perpetrators' continued access?
 
@feersum Okay... assuming users play along.
 
@HelkaHomba wow "3*14ISninE"
 
@feersum A good password...? Or do you mean continued access into the website's database rather than a user account? I'm not quite sure what the question is, sorry
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei ... mod 11
 
8:14 AM
In the site's database.

Then nothing, but it depends how valuable the data they were able to obtain was in this scenario of ours...?
 
@Sp3000 Huh? Why does that matter?
 
@feersum Why are password hashes that can be cracked by brute force considered a big deal? ... because passwords that can be cracked are a big deal. If you can crack it you might as store plain-text password files. Is that what you're asking?
 
As in, it could be that the hashes are easier to steal - I'd imagine it'd depend on a site-by-site basis?
 
8:21 AM
@Linus That's a good idea; I could look for information on why storing passwords in plain text is bad (for reasons other than password reuse).
 
@feersum what do you mean by reuse... two people with the same password, or one person not changing their password as directed, or one person using the same password on another site?
 
One person using the same password on multiple sites.
 
@feersum If you use salts it should be harder to crack passwords
 
@feersum That too, in theory but I don't know how practical that is... are we targeting someone?
 
8:27 AM
I'm not considering the case of hashed but not salted passwords.
 
@muddyfish oh god ... salts. lets not right now.
 
@feersum Easier to guess I'd say? I'm not talking stolen hashes. If someone can brute force into your account it's bad news, even if the company can undo any damage.
 
@Linus what about peppers then?
 
@muddyfish sure... I'm hungry
 
8:27 AM
Can we assume in our scenario that the hashing scheme is perfectly secure but it's the password that's not? :P
(I'm assuming that's what the original question was about)
 
Same
 
@Sp3000 then they can get into your account unless secondary authentication
 
(I think I might wait until I figure out what feersum's question actually means, because I think I'm misunderstanding it...)
 
My question is, why are users often advised to create passwords which are difficult to brute force?
The expected utility gain from this seems fairly low to me.
 
So you're less likely to get brute forced?
 
8:30 AM
Of course if you have some sufficiently valuable data somewhere, it could be worthwhile.
 
Computers are quick. People use the same passwords for simple sites (catvideoshere.com) as yourbank.com
 
In this scenario, how much do you care about the account? (and how much does the attacker care about the account?)
 
@muddyfish I see you haven't read the preceding discussion.
Um... I dunno.
 
@feersum I have. I probably haven't understood it if thats what your saying though
 
@muddyfish I've mentioned password reuse at least 3 times already.
 
8:37 AM
@feersum I did and didn't really understand it. I think muddy had a decent point
 
Well I give up. Apparently I don't know how to English.
 
Hello
I'm back
 
@feersum I still reckon the value of the account is important here, so here's some food for thought: 1) It could be that the account is valuable to the site's eyes - e.g. a hacked bank account costs the bank to detect fraud/help you recover your account 2) If the account is not valuable to you then you could argue any password is okay since you don't care, but then the question is whether the account is valuable to an attacker (e.g. account impersonation could lead to a reputational cost)

Q: DNA Encode a String

βετѧ ΛєҫαγChallenge You must write an encoder (and a separate decoder) which takes a string as input and outputs the string encoded in the style of a strand of DNA. DNA DNA is made up of four types of nucleotide: Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G) Adenine and thymine pair up together t...

Q: Output the alphabet using the alphabet

DerpfacePythonThe title is pretty self-explanatory, isn't it? Your task is to output the alphabet (the string "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz") to STDOUT, using each and every letter of the alphabet in your program once and only once. Oh, and for a bit of extra fun? The letters "g", "o", "l" and "f" must be in ...

 
8:59 AM
Oh jeez
 
@muddyfish There's probably better, but at the least you can do s_B"ATCG" (haven't checked .", etc.)
 
@Sp3000 The scoring doesn't mention code golf at all
 
what flavor is ruby regex?
 
Ummm
I probs should post my logicode interpreter
 
@muddyfish BTW which characters does your program support? I need to answer a question in the comments and I don't want to break your answer
 
9:02 AM
Also
 
@muddyfish Hmm I thought the decoder/encoder length had to be counted
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ it should support the entirety of unicode but I'm not certain
 
@muddyfish Ah okay, that's fine
 
9:06 AM
@βετѧΛєҫαγ should I modify the score to include encoder+decoder length?
 
@muddyfish Yes, please
 
@muddyfish never mind I was blind
 
@LeakyNun - sounds like we do need to format the binomial tree output
 
@JonathanAllan then I would rather delete my answer
 
@LeakyNun any hints on how I can align the `%f'%... strings in my addendum?
 
9:12 AM
@JonathanAllan %9f?
 
@LeakyNun no effect :(
 
@JonathanAllan %10f?
 
@LeakyNun nope. and `%9.f% removes all the decimal places
 
@JonathanAllan I have no idea then
 
9:15 AM
@DestructibleWatermelon HaI
 
@LeakyNun OK thanks anyway
 
9:31 AM
OK... has anyone looked at the interpreter yet?

10:06 AM
@DerpfacePython I'm taking a look now
I don't really think I get it though
not that it's hard to read, it's just me
 
I need to find a way to reduce the length of commands in my language...
 
What do you mean?
Which language?
 
My "typological" language
 
Where is it?
 
10:10 AM
haven't implemented yet
 
Ah
You mean Eseljik?
 
no, I kinda just gave up on that one
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
typological is the name
 
I gave up on my one (Pyramid) as well
Wait... oh
Post a gist on GH
 
10:11 AM
I was thinking of calling it eloquently, because adverbs are best names for languages
I'll show you a language that infinitely asks for ascii input
(does nothing with it, though)
 
Well, I think Logicode is going pretty smoothly
 
| \

||||||| \
 
But I just feel like 50-odd lines for an interpreter is pretty short
Ah
 
oh wait, it got rid of trailing spaces
each line has one space at the end, anyway
fixed it so it has the spaces now
@DerpfacePython that just means you have a minimalist language
 
10:15 AM
counter=0
instructions=input().split()
instruction_counter=0
Running=True
while len(instructions)>instruction_counter:
    current_instruction=instructions[instruction_counter]
    instruction_counter+=1
    if current_instruction=='+':
        counter+=1
    elif current_instruction[0]=='-':
        if counter:
            counter-=1
        else:
            instruction_counter=int(current_instruction[1:])
    elif current_instruction[0]=='*':
        counter*=int(current_instruction[1:])
    elif current_instruction[0]=='/':
 
All my language has support for are logic gates and extra circuits
 
that's a minsky machine thing
 
very short
(one register variant)
just trying to illlustrate that short interpreters are ok
 
Well, my interpreter seems to run pretty smoothly, with no problems
(None that I can see, anyway)
 
10:16 AM
Good!
 
I should probs change my name to something better
DerpfacePython doesn't cut it anymore
 
anyway, at this point, a truth machine is waaaay too long, so I need to make a way to shorten the commands
@DerpfacePython is it going to be something chicken related?
 
@DestructibleWatermelon I'm open to ideas
I'm probably going to change it to the name I use often: Asphexan
 
"laughingicken surprised"?
 
@DestructibleWatermelon What is that. Just what.
LOL
 
10:19 AM
I made a SROMG with that phrase in it
(made with a markov text generator)
I can't find it on my computer
 
I can get it from an email though
I'll be back with it
oh, and I just found the original right after getting a new copy...
my favourite part is 'I call it "chicken surprised!'
 
Screw it, my name is now Qwerp-derp.
 
how about "Rota derp" (predator backwards)
because it has derp in it
 
Nah m8
 
10:28 AM
ok then
I should probably change the push command or something...
that might free up some space for other commands
Question. What exactly do I have to do to make a custom char set for a language?
hey, it's quiet. I have an idea. How do you think gif is pronounced; its obviously hard g.
 
soft g
 
@muddyfish NO
 
10:43 AM
why?
cause god said so?
 
@muddyfish Is Pyke made in 2016?
 
Fun fact: PNP
 
@Adnan I started making it in 2016
 
thanks :)
 
I wish that search engines accepted symbols
instead of interpreting "⊆ symbol" as "symbol"

Correct version (in the spirit of the question): takes the integer as input, output 0 for falsey and 1 for truthy. This is not stack clean. ...

No love for brain-flak ;_;
 
downvotes for rep whoring ;)
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ TBH I thought it was a poor choice of name, but it is a pretty good concept
 
So how exactly do you do anything with it?
 
well, it's not a usuable language, it's like a turing machine
it doesn't have i/o, but it is turing complete, despite only having the instruction of changing the direction ip pointer, and repeating infinitely
 
11:25 AM
Hm, cool
 
it's more minimal than a minsky machine
also that alliteration
 
yay
the parser of my golfing language works
 
@miles oo, I'll have to try that
 
a new golfing language i am making
i named it Ru
 
11:27 AM
link pls
@TùxCräftîñg you don't have to golf the name
 
I like how people use the word ruthless, but hardly ever ruth
 
example code: {α+β}
anonymous function returning the sum of it's arguments
 
also, weirdest thing about english: suspicious can describe someone being conspicuous, or someone who thinks someone else is conspicuous. ಠ_ಠ

why did you display it like that, when you could have had the main part in the middle ಠ_ಠ
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
11:33 AM
also, I'm confused about whether they move towards each other, or away from each other
actually, I guess that display was reasonable actually
seems like a cool game
 
there is a thing in html/css/js to play it
 
@TùxCräftîñg When you see others' screenshots and remember that all of Europe is on the internet...
 
I should really get JS and java so I can get these things
 
ಠ_ಠ
you have a web browswer, right?
so you can run it
it use in-browser js
 
when a post with a caret get's on the star board, that seems pretty weird
@TùxCräftîñg no i use curl
 
11:35 AM
._.
 
no, browser JS != good
but anyway
 
!= =
!= is evil
 
how do i run this thing again
 
=== and !== are evil
 
11:36 AM
ಠ_ಠ
 
how do I run js console
...
 
@βετѧΛєҫαγ so "1" == 1 is normal?
 
how do i do it in my browser now
 
somewhere in your menu there should be 'developer tools' to access the console
 
@TùxCräftîñg No, "1" == "1" is normal. "1" === 1 is unnatural sorcery
 
11:37 AM
=== is strict ==
== coerce, === is pure equality
 
which damn dev tools
ok, I found it i think
ok, how do i make it run, then?
 
run what?
 
the JS thing
 
f62tgyhuwgtfyhuaw
 
how do i run js things in browser
it doesn't do anything...
 
11:41 AM
clone the repo, open a file explorer, go to <your clone dir>/Tour.js, and open index.html
the js file will be included
 
@DJMcMayhem Brain-flak is a language in which 1 is longer than 0 and x4 is longer than x3 ...
 
@TùxCräftîñg it's only evil in evil javascript-crazy-type-language
 
ik
javascript type system is really weird
 
does 2+2===4?
 
11:49 AM
yes
2+2==="4" // false, but 2+2=="4" // true
becuz js is weird

you know you've got a crappy esolang when the only thing it has going for it is the first char of the name
