4:12 PM
TIL that OCT 31 = DEC 25
 
4:29 PM
Thanksgiving sometimes falls on NOV 27
 
@Neil Which base system in NOV?
 
November was the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar. November retained its name (from the Latin novem meaning "nine") when January and February were added to the Roman calendar.

Yeah, that's why we have Sept-ember, Oct-ober, Nov-ember, and Dec-ember
 
there's no SEP 34 though
 
4:50 PM
My favorite day is marchtember oneteenth
 
Berlin has one of the worst storms this year right now. I almost got hit by a falling street lantern. Also pretty terrifying to drive when trees are falling over on the sidewalk. Public transportation is on hold
 
5:08 PM
Quote from science class today: "You are not to disrespect the eyeball"
 
5:24 PM
@Neil Wasn't it July and August that were added for Julius and Augustus?
 
5:54 PM
 
6:34 PM
@HyperNeutrino I thought those were just renamed rather than added
 
TIL that Scotland's national animal is a Unicorn
 
Bloody hell... God
TIL my country has a national animal
 
Lynx?
 
@Mr.Xcoder What's wrong?
 
@DJMcMayhem yes
@AdmBorkBork +75 ffs
 
6:39 PM
That's not unusual around here
 
Still not understanding what's wrong ...
 
@Mr.Xcoder i'll take some
you can thank me later
 
People hit the 200 cap fairly frequently
 
TIL the US's national animal is not the Bald Eagle. That's the national bird, and the national mammal is Bison.
 
@Poke Oh so nice of you :P You sacrifice for me ಠ_ಠ
 
6:40 PM
@Mr.Xcoder absolutely
it will go well with my +10 last week
 
@Pavel I do too, but +75 is't really common tho
 
@DJMcMayhem The national bird was almost the turkey
 
Not quite as...
Majestic
 
That's terrifying
 
6:43 PM
oh no my eyes
 
s/terrifying/majestic/
s/no/heck yes/
ftfy
 
@DJMcMayhem Well, by "almost" I mean that Ben Franklin considered it a superior choice versus the Bald Eagle
 
@Mr.Xcoder umm, actually that's pretty normal

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Funky Computer ManIs it Odd or Even For some a a number x is odd if there is a k such that k + k + a = x and even if there is a k such that k + k = x. A group is an even or odd group if there is an a such that every member of the group is either even or odd. For example the group Z4 is an even odd group if a = ...

 
I need to write more inspiring java answers so that I get upvotes erryday
 
6:47 PM
@Poke Just answer one of my posts, I upvote all valid answers.
 
@Poke Holy crap that's terrifying
@Mr.Xcoder Also, why does it say +75, when you got +65 rep today?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing No id3a
 
@Pavel Noted but I actually meant to have my message read more like "[more inspiring] java answers" rather than "[more] inspiring java answers"
 
What does the "wide wiki body" GH userscript do? I don't see any difference
 
so that when people gaze upon my answers they're left no choice but to upvote
imo a java answer should do that by default
because they're all gems
 
6:53 PM
(C# Master race)
 
CMC: Given a list of positive integers, determine if they all have at least 1 common digit.
[12, 34, 56] -> False, [31, 32, 43] -> True
 
@Mr.Xcoder What if our language only has string input?
 
@DJMcMayhem Then I am afraid I must change that rule brb changes rules
Fixed
 
@Mr.Xcoder PowerShell, 46 bytes -- param($a)0..9|?{$a.count-eq($a-match$_).count} -- Try it online!
 
6:59 PM
oh yeah Powershell's strength
 
@DJMcMayhem Then take input as char code
 
returns an array for truthy, or nothing for falsey
 
@Mr.Xcoder jelly, 3 bytes (untested): Df/
you didn't say consistent :p
 
Oh yeah: The output values must be consistent.
 
@Mr.Xcoder Boo
 
7:02 PM
@Mr.Xcoder you changed the rules >_<
 
OP's powers :)
 
anyways 4 bytes: Df/Ṇ (0 is true, 1 is false)
 
You said inverting boolean values is not acceptable D:
Now you do exactly that?
 
huh? it was something else I said
 
7:04 PM
what?
 
iirc it was about switching the boolean property of the output (truthy vs. falsy)
how is that related to being a default to have consistent values?
also I don't make the rules, meta consensus does
 
6 bytes using a different approach with 1 -> truthy, 0 -> falsy: Jelly, 6 bytes DŒpE€Ẹ
@EriktheOutgolfer nvm
 
12 bytes to output consistent values -- boo -- param($a)$b=0;0..9|?{$b+=$a.count-eq($a-match$_).count};$b
 
D      - Decimal digits
 Œp    - Cartesian Product of the items
   E€  - For each, check if all are equal
     Ẹ - Any; Returns 1 if Z contains a truthy value, 0 otherwise
Too many bytes in Pyth :-/ using my approach: .Emq1l{m/kdQs
 
mine is 6 bytes: !@FjRT (again reversed True/False)
 
7:19 PM
Or .Amtl{m/kdQs with swapped values
ಠ_ಠ You really like intersection, don't you?
 
but I found it's a golfy way to do it
 
Anyway, 3 bytes: !@F
 
umm that won't work
 
String input.
@EriktheOutgolfer You could do !@F`M instead if you really want integers.
 
...
yeah
starting to divert from jelly's approach
 
7:23 PM
Yeah the equivalent would be Dœ&/Ẹ or œ&/Ẹ
 
@AdmBorkBork Huh?
 
@AdmBorkBork he removed it
 
You said string input not allowed
 
(although chat didn't make that apparent immediately)
 
7:26 PM
@AdmBorkBork i removed that rule
 
See, this is why the sandbox exists, so you can get meaningful feedback before posting to chat. :p
 
unfortunately we can't create rooms for Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Meta yet :( :p
 
Say hi to Sandbox for Proposed CMCs --- I don't think we really need one, but here it is (will prolly be frozen soon if we don't use it :P)
 
...that's thinking too much for cmcs...
 
Well, as said in there, it's just a place for quick test case or wording suggestions
 
7:53 PM
@Mr.Xcoder Just an observation -- :P -- you are now WAY ahead of me in rep :P
 
Glad to hear that TBH
 
G'nite/day or whatever o/
 
CMC: Given a string of printable ASCII characters, output its ASCIIbetical inverse (32 maps to 126, 33 maps to 125, 34 maps to 124, etc.)
 
8:10 PM
@AdmBorkBork SOGL, 7 bytes: R{'═κRp
 
Nice, that's shorter than I expected.
 
it's longer than I expected :p
 
@DJMcMayhem surely 126-(x-32) is golfable :p
 
Just a sec
 
8:14 PM
I was just going to comment that
 
I was already working on it :P
 
still too long
 
temptation to star ... rising ...
 
Do it
 
8:16 PM
No, now you'll know it was me
Or, alternatively, you'll 11 the message into something else
 
I can't
 
As an RO you can't 11 your own message?
 
If by 11 you mean edit past the two minute mark, then no
I can self star though
 
huh, interesting
 
Oh, and I can see deleted messages in here. That's another thing
 
8:20 PM
40 bytes is what I came up with -- -join([char[]]"$args"|%{[char](158-$_)}) -- Try it online!
 
@AdmBorkBork 0/10, not using the extremely intelligent 126-$_+32
 
I like getting rid of the [char] in the middle instead, that way you get a big number output
Ugh, my button on my cube wall is extremely relevant today

i feel like that most days :D
story time?
 
just three different users in the same office all with different expectations of how this email rule should work and they're not communicating with each other. So, when I configured it the one way when the initial request came in, I was suddenly very in the wrong and upset the other users because their workflow suddenly broke or some crap.
 
gets the the point where pretty much any change you try to make affects someone's production workflow
 
8:31 PM
 
ARBLE? That a new language?
 
Kind of
 
Also, your avatar is neat
 
It’s stolen :p
 
So is mine. Doesn't make it any less neat.
 
8:35 PM
ARBLE is a lua extension to make it golfier

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Carl SchildkrautIntroduction This challenge is inspired by 2009 Putnam B1, a problem in an undergraduate mathematics competition. The problem is as follows: Show that every positive rational number can be written as a quotient of products of factorials of (not necessarily distinct) primes. For example, ...

 
@ATaco Oh, that's cool. Don't see much Lua golfing around here.
 
8:50 PM
@AdmBorkBork Although, your avatar makes sense, given that you only code in PowerShell. I'm pretty sure that ATaco doesn't only code in tacos
 
@AdmBorkBork Retina, 6 bytes: T`p`Rp

Q: Golfing Newton's Method

WallyWestI have the following code which I've written to emulate Newton's method for deriving the square root of a number: r=(x,y)=> (z=((y=y||x)*y-x)/(2*y)>1e-15)? r(x,y-(y*y-x)/(2*y)):y Where r(37) would result in 6.08276253029822 which is great given the limitations of my browser. I'd like to g...

 
probably 8 bytes in Charcoal
 
9:08 PM
It is so funny reading through the very early transcript of TNB
I laughed particularly hard when I saw v and thought "Just wait for Jelly to come along"
Feb 3 '11 at 23:09, by Juan
17 strokes to find all primes smaller than a given number. It's got golf written all over it
 
9:30 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing :D
 
9:57 PM
So GolfScript has the honour of being the first language having been referred to in TNB
 
@LuisMendo Well, it was the first golfing language used here
 
10:19 PM
@LuisMendo yep:
Jan 29 '11 at 18:50, by Chris Jester-Young
I've been trying to write many solutions in GolfScript. :-)
 
People were rather upset about how efficient golfscript was back in 2011.
 
10:40 PM
CMC: Generate a list of primes less than or equal to n.
 
@AdmBorkBork 6 bytes: 158i-c
@ATaco Builtin in many languges, probably
 
Probably, also already a question on main, but it's a fun one to accomplish in many languages.
TacO, 113 bytes Try It Online!
Probably golfable.
 
@ATaco You should be able to just pass in the symbol prime and have that work.
 
Not without changing how where works.
 
Doesn't is take a function/lambda?
 
10:46 PM
It does, but it also waits for protoexpressions to be parsed.
So passing it one just makes it wait for an input, rather than treating it as a function.
 
Ah. You should make it be able to take a function symbol
 
Yeah, it's really just an issue in the implementation of where because I was lazy.
(There is no reason that waiting for a protoexpression is better than taking it as a function, that's just easier for me to implement)
 
@ATaco Python 3, 65 bytes
 
@LuisMendo redundant space between ) and if
 
Come now, a lua extension shouldn't be beating python :P
 
10:52 PM
It's specifically designed for golfing. Python isn't.
 
@Pavel My Python is bad, and my golf-Python is terrible :-)
Corrected, thanks
 
@ATaco Jelly, 2 bytes: ÆR
 
Alright, I've successfully patched ARBLE to accept these functions as protoexpressions.
 
@ATaco MATL, no prime builtins: 9 bytes: :t!\~sH=f
 
ARBLE actually defines prime with a protoexpression math.prime = wrap(#nt(sum(range(2,max(n-1,1),nt(n%a),n))),"prime")
wrap(#,"prime") is just so that when it's stringified, it just says "Prime"
 
11:03 PM
@ATaco What's nt?
 
@LuisMendo NT is the current generation of Windows.
 
@Pavel not
 
^^ But the name NT sounds old. They are not branded under name NT anymore, that I know of
 
nt is defined as branch(n,0,1)
 
11:06 PM
@LuisMendo Not in marketing, but internally Windows is still versioned that way.
 
@ATaco Husk, 6 bytes without prime builtins: üo←⌋tḣ
 
@Pavel Still, being 24 years old (first version is from 1993) I'd say it qualifies as "old" ;-)
