Q: Mr Seckington weights his ternᵃʳʸ

Mr Seckington is a mobile grocer. He drives his van door-to-door selling his produce all around the nearby villages. Mr Seckington needs a method to weigh the produce he is selling so he knows how much to charge his customers. Because space is at such a premium on his van, he uses an interesti...

Destructible Watermelon

@Pavel I might help

but what lang to use...

maybe Turtlèd

If you have characters left over, you can try making it more java-like.

@Dennis theory: messages by users who are generally more serious get more stars

10:11 PM

I had the brilliant idea of Foo, but then I realized the number that must be printed is too long.

I think this might work with RProgN pretty well.

Most of this is a Noop by default.

Destructible Watermelon

yeah, that'll be my main issue with doing it in Turtlèd

also I think its probably too late to do it with turtlèd

28@P2*Jp;math 2\^45#2^41 NB.`(expt 2 39); ^exit @n.óout (*2 32#e#a44******O@)//2 25)#e#2ej#printf $[2**43]bye'$/*#"A#327;N<."$"/class HelloWorld {static void Main() 0{;n***~

#ß6904±r"$2 #puts 16384 8*di 2^18o8*'* ~[[247.^

That works with RProgN.

But it sadly doesn't give a precise enough result.

Post it then!

Aww

1.4073748835533e+14

10:13 PM

Oh, scientific notation is valid output

You're fine

If you have characters left over, remember to try and clean up the mess, like leave a printf("") in or something like that.

None left, exactly 10 replacements.

Och, close

Destructible Watermelon

I'll try flobnar

I had to make a full 10 to fit PERL in, at the very start.

Destructible Watermelon

oh wait it'll be hard with the high power of two won't it

Q: Average Length of Google

I was messing around with Pyth's url request feature, and noticed that google always gave a response with a slightly different length for me, usually ~10500 characters. So your task in this challenge is to print out the average length of the html response from http://google.com. Specs You wil...

code-golf internet

The challenge is far less trivial then the original.

@ATaco I just realized this... RProgN was answer 38.

;(

Wait what

Someone but me wrote an answer in RProgN?

Yep

@ATaco I have just had the same thought about Pyke

;)

10:19 PM

That explains why the exit was sitting there.

Do we consider Perl 6 to be distinct from Perl?

I know I do.

Awesome

user image

10

Can confirm this works, hasn't produced an unsorted output yet.

10:26 PM

Did Perl 6

I would rather like to see the changes for this animated.

Destructible Watermelon

wanna see if I can do flobnar?

Sure

Try to make it C-like

Destructible Watermelon

but as it is I might not be able to do flobnar even...

That Okx person seemed to create a LOT of answers for that challenge.

10:31 PM

Yeah

I might ask him to stop

yay my smart alarm clock no longer makes static noises on disk, cpu, and network activity

I "insulated" it against EM emissions with aluminum foil wrapped in tape

Destructible Watermelon

I'm not even sure how I would do this in flobnar if I had more edit distance allowed

I had the last week off of school

Yeah this is decidedly not trivial.

10:34 PM

yeah, this is too hard for flobnar at this point I think

Christopher Peart

Ya know. I hate getting a downvote on a overly broad question that i answer with the best i can.... Like come on i tried to answer.

My answer was not bad

it was a decent answer

A: Web page sticks for while when plotting more than 10000 markers

A for loop is the fastest way to do this still. If you have a problem with the loading crashing the webpage a while loop would work. A for loop to fill out the array var markers = []; for(var I = 0; I < latlng.length; I++) { markers.push (new google.maps.Marker({ position: latlngs[i]...

Destructible Watermelon

it happens

Sounds like "It didn't fix my problem because I didn't provide enough info, so imma downvote"

Destructible Watermelon

wait. i might have a way to have flobnar in this

wait, no I don't

darn

maybe if I was earlier...

ok

that's a really bad idea

don't post that char in chat

10:45 PM

at least I didn't post swastikas or whatever

Destructible Watermelon

@wat what did you do?

ProTip: Don't post U+1F595

Yeah, that wasn't appreciated

sorry

@DestructibleWatermelon I'll admit, this "Flobnar" language is new to me.

Link?

Destructible Watermelon

catseye.tc/view/flobnar/README.markdown

I can't find interpreter >_>

Found it!

So I'm not sure if I already told you this, but RProgN2 now supports arbitrary sized numbers.

So what you're telling me, is that it could work for Evolution of Powers of Two?

Destructible Watermelon

hey, I found a replacement for carets

👆

Probably.

10:57 PM

^^ is clearly wrong, for obvious reasons.

🥕

Works much better.

Your unicode is too powerful for my font.

286*^ gets the answer, now you just need to find a way to actually use that.

@Mego pls ^

11:03 PM

Did... Did I fall for that?

@ATaco Do you have a symbol to end the program?

...

@Pavel Let me try some things.

Welp, my smart alarm clock now plays Google Play Music

And Youtube videos

Including ads?

11:04 PM

no

I found a way to make TIO cry apparently.

only the ad free ones, the ones that require ads don't even show up

for some reason

@ATaco Suppress cache and try again?

Anonymous

Apparently this just makes it turn forever...

11:05 PM

That's bad. Ads are the most terrorizing way (read: most effective) to be woken up.

also I dont have enough ram in the Orange Pi Zero that I used (I accidentally got the 256MB version instead of the 512MB version) so Mopidy crashes constantly

well, not constantly

once every 12-16 hours

I think I need to disable some plugins

Got it in 9 changes.

Add another quote mark to the C?

Welp, that's even worse than Win3.14, which crashed every 3.14 days

That will uh, probably break my code.

11:06 PM

Aww

Does anyone else have alias clear="echo Use ctrl+l you dummy" in their .zshrc

No

no

Destructible Watermelon

cmc: make a flobnar program that outputs 2**48

Is this a language specific challenge? Yuck.

11:08 PM

Is this what you are talking about?

github.com/catseye/Flobnar

Gonna have to be 4**49 now.

Destructible Watermelon

you can pick any language where printing that is decidedly non trivial

Christopher Peart

anyone have a link to tio

too lazy to type it

tio.run

tio.run/nexus/rprogn-2

Christopher Peart

11:09 PM

the url bar is too far

F6.

Aced it

Destructible Watermelon

@Pavel yeah ok that doesn't work smart guy

F6 does nothing on osx

Wait, really?

Destructible Watermelon

11:09 PM

outputs 4 man

2

Not what he was looking for

I'm sorry wat.

Destructible Watermelon

2*2

Crap

@Pavel yes

Destructible Watermelon

here is what I made, untested

wait that isn't right

wrong number of multiplies I think

Wait, but is RProgN2 sufficiently different from RProgN to justify being classed as a different language for the purposes of this challenge, @Pavel?

Yes

If it warrants having it's own TIO entry, it's different enough, I say

Destructible Watermelon

fixed I think

11:11 PM

(Java 8/9 doesn't count)

Most of the code can be transferred between the two languages.

RProgN1 has more functions, RProgN2 works better.

Destructible Watermelon

I think that could definitely be golfed actually

You think we could get dennis to put Flobnar on TIO?

Working on it

It's TC, so there should be a way of computing arbitrary 2^n

@DestructibleWatermelon Already asked him

Destructible Watermelon

yeah, but it would be much less golf

probably

also you need put for it to be TC

11:15 PM

o

That's annoying

TC doesn't care about IO.

put as in the fungoid put.

As in, put a character on the code field.

Destructible Watermelon

actually you could use that whole function thing

I don't know funge, so.

Christopher Peart

youtube.com/watch?v=erJjlf6xJtY why just why

Destructible Watermelon

11:20 PM

I also don't know how to make a program in Turtlèd that outputs 2 ^ x

Welp, we're stuck

Description of a video:Brian's been professionally doing ill-advised things with lighters since before half of you were born, so now's his time to shine... so to speak.

Don't smoke, don't play with fire, don't use steak knives, don't break things, don't do crime, don't do danger.
""

Will that work for the CMC?

Too lazy to find the interpreter rn

Christopher Peart

Title of video: ""Converting Cheap Lighters into Flashbangs & Flamethrowers"

Could probably be golfed more

That nasty 0 hanging off the edge

What does @ evaluate to @DestructibleWatermelon?

Destructible Watermelon

@MistahFiggins evaluates to the left/west

also I don't know I don't even have haskell lol

11:30 PM

Ok, so i could move it left one?

Christopher Peart

So working on my golf lang

is this a good way of making a dictionary for my lang?

"^":"power",
"%":"mods",
"*":"multi",

@DestructibleWatermelon yay me

Destructible Watermelon

@MistahFiggins I think so

@ChristopherPeart It looks like a python dictionary without the {}. Sure, seems fine.

Christopher Peart

@Pavel that is what it is :P ok thanks

Destructible Watermelon

11:33 PM

maybe don't have ,?

although in langs like python you can do "h""i" and have it the same as "hi"

define dictionary

Destructible Watermelon

@wat keys with values

access values via keys

@DestructibleWatermelon In languages like VBN "foo""bar" evaluates to foo"bar because "" is how you escape quote marks in VNB.

@DestructibleWatermelon isn't that a hashmap

p-2>
01* @3
 < >|g
3 >+20

I think that works

Destructible Watermelon

11:35 PM

@Pavel you could parse it so that it realises it is not that, as it is followed by a :?

might not, because the + might evaluate up first every time

Speaking of which, should I use TreeMap or HashMap to store variables in a language?

Destructible Watermelon

@wat no hash function?

ehh

Oops

Destructible Watermelon

11:38 PM

@MistahFiggins I think the order is deterministic

Meaning I need to make the put be evaluated first?

So, above the +?

Destructible Watermelon

I don't actually understand the program el oh el

Ping me when it's on TIO please

Try joining talk.tryitonline.net

Destructible Watermelon

can we try working towards a flobnar answer?

or maybe even bf...

Well, I was trying to check if a tag existed and with the slip of a finger I accidentally created it (whoops!) Any mod feel free to delete it, I don't know how.

http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/tags/psuedo-quine/info

@AlbertRenshaw You even misspelled it.

> psuedo

Hahahaha all the more reason to delete it 😅

this was for a challenge about quines that return the code but with certain characters re-arranged, like a mis-spelling of sorts .. yeahhh

I'm using Windows-1252, What would be a good symbol for Sqrt?

11:50 PM

Howabout the square root sign?

Wait no

The Sqrt symbol doesn't appear to be a part of the codepage.

I'm fond of ¤

1/2

Š is probably good: s for squareroot, problem is there are two of them Š š

@Pavel isn't that the currency symbol?

11:52 PM

Maybe š can be square-root and Š can be log_base_2 hah

Yes

However, since the currency it represents is arbitrary, it doesn't really mean anything.
